So this is the place Kiryu has been staying at. It's no wonder the media couldn't find him. This is a very remote town. But, Lila closed her eyes as she leaned on the balcony. It's a very beautiful place. While she's exhausted since she barely got a break when she returned from the island; before coming here. Lila didn't want it to be delayed anymore. She wanted to there the moment Kiryu woke up.
Her thoughts broke off when she heard the sound of someone leave the bathroom. Haruka emerged.
"Put on some clothes."
"It's just you."
…...
"Why-why are we sharing a room?" Lila stammered. She doesn't understand how this was even allowed. A participant, sharing a room with a judge. How much of his power did he abuse?
"There was a room shortage."
"Liar!"
Did he forget how he gave her his room key?
Haruka chuckled.
This isn't fair, for him to be doing this. Doesn't he know Kiryu is here? She doesn't want Kiryu to sense it. He's so unfair. Lila walked over and wrapped her arms around him, as she buried her face in his back, "Do you hate me?"
"I'd hate you if you felt nothing for me. If you intended to use me like those other girls. But you have no ulterior motives getting close you just want to get close..right?"
Lila nodded.
"That itself should be dangerous.."
"Wait, not tonight…"
"You always say no, but shouldn't you be used to it by now?"
Used to it? Lately, she can't help but be appalled with how shameless Haruka is getting. What makes him think that she likes being forced? But, it's also true. That in contrast to the first time, he's not as forceful and he seldom does it these days. "I want to eat, I'm hungry."
"Should I order something?"
"I'll make food, I bought groceries earlier."
"You had free time to check the place out since you'll be training tomorrow onwards…"
"Because you have to eat proper food."
"Are you my girlfriend?"
"I'm not."
"Maybe my wife."
Thump. Lila quickly picked up the grocery bag and made her way over to the kitchen. She was glad to see that the place, is stocked with necessary cooking utensils. He's an idiot. Lately, her thumping heartbeat has been getting worse around him too. It's not like she doesn't realise what's happening. Although at the start, she dismissed it as being an irregular heartbeat. However, even she understood the magnitude of this situation.
Lila felt his arms wrap around her from the back, "So, are your furious this time?"
"You haven't touched me in days and now you suddenly want to? With this timing."
"Do you really think he will feel it? During the first time.."
"Stop."
She doesn't want to remember the first few times he touched her. She felt so scared, so terrified. The times he did it afterwards were few and yet, she still trembles. Haruka's lips brushed against her cheek, as he gently kissed her. Oh!
"Don't be afraid, I won't scare you into anything."
"Haruka.."
"Do you need help here?"
"Ah, then could you cut these for me?" Lila said pointing to the ingredients she put aside. Haruka nodded.
...…
Lately, it feels like they fight; or at least end up in a dispute. It started ever since he forced himself upon her, but as of late, it felt like it was getting worst. Things seemed peaceful on the island for a while. But it was always tense at night. She understood how he suffered holding back and...her fear, her fear towards him whenever he held her... But she recalled her conversation with Kyoko-nee, towards this person...
Before Lila knew it, she raised her hand and slapped him.
"I was only joking, you don't have to take me so seriously…"
"Haruka, your jokes are too cruel… Too cruel."
"Is it? Aren't you the one being cruel to me?"
"You're contradicting yourself. You said you don't mind getting hurt."
"Did you really think it wouldn't hurt me? You jumped at the chance to come here." Haruka trailed of when they heard the sound of his phone. Recognizing the familiar ringtone, she clenched her fist. "Perfect timing, well you can stay here and think about how annoying you've been lately."
"Wait."
"What?"
"Don't go."
"Don't go? Why?"
He's so cruel, he's so unfair. "Please don't leave me.."
Haruka's arms wrapped around her then, as he wiped her tears away, "Your mine Lila. I'll make sure you understand that.."

Lila exhaled deeply, this part won't work. She crossed the lines she wrote on the music sheet on her lap. Lila had been searching for a quiet spot but couldn't find any. For a remote town, there was strangely a lot of people. So Lila made her way to the rooftop of an old building and presently was sitting against the edge. Guitar in hand. Kiryu is in this place, and soon they'll see each other again. The reason why she snuck off wasn't simply because she wanted to practice. But, because she received a message.
[I'll send someone to fetch you.]
6 words, from an unknown number. But she knew it was reliable. The words were filled with a familiar warmth. Kiryu, soon, they will see each other again. A whole month has passed since they last saw each other. A lot has happened; she wondered if ...it's the same for him. Before he went to a coma, did he also develop strange feelings? To be honest, she isn't sure about it. Her feelings for Haruka. Their relationship was already very complex before, but these days it's gotten even more complicated. Her gaze drifted on to her hand and she closed her eyes as she recalled it. Him gently calling her name, his gentle touches, and when he held her hand.
He's stupid. She will not forgive him, but why doesn't she stay away?
'Stay by my side.'
Stay by his side, huh? Indeed, although she heard those words in her dream. Haruka, has said something similar before. Haruka, is filled with contradictions. She doesn't understand what he's thinking. He tells her that she is special but in the end of the day, he still slept around with other girls.

Kiryu finally lost it even though he said yesterday that he would stay put. He couldn't stand not being able to even play his guitar. Selia can be one mean caretaker, she practically watched him 24/7. So he didn't get the opportunity to play or listen to music. If he will be bedridden, can't he at least be allowed to play music? He exhaled deeply, well at least he's finally outside. He overheard Sumire-san say that Lila should come soon. Knowing her, he would more likely find her in a place like this. Maybe that nearby hill? He saw it from the window of his room and thought it would be the perfect place.
He stretched his arms, he hasn't seen Lila in so long. He wondered if she was angry at him. For not being able to contact her, he wondered what happened between her and Karashima in that time.
"Austin Kiryu?"
Kiryu exhaled deeply, it can't be helped. It is still a public institution, "Yes that's me… I'm sorry but I'm here for ---" Kiryu didn't get a chance to finish his sentence, when a beam of light brushed against his ear and landed on the spot in front of him, causing a large explosion.
Kiryu leapt back and finally got a look at the person. What a pain.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
