*UNEDITED*Lila slowly opened the door and she saw it. The sight she didn"t want to see the most. Haruka was on top of Rikka and they were kissing heavily. At least from the angle where she stood, it looked like kissing to her.
It may be for removing the drug but Lila couldn"t stand the sight and immediately yelled out. "Stop."
At that comment Haruka glanced over at her. He immediately pulled away from Rikka. "Lila."
"Stop already." She cried out.
Lila didn"t know who she was talking to anymore. "Just stop, leave Haruka and me alone." Why do people have to plot and scheme against them like this? Lila is fed up with it all, she is so very tired. Unknowingly power poured out of her body, the ground trembled. All of this, all of it is ---
Her thoughts broke off when somebody grabbed hold of her wrist. "Ameno-senpai."
His lips curve to a smile. "Hey there Little Lila."
"Ameno-senpai." She mumbled.
"It seems like I came at a strange time."
"That"s right, I called him here to discuss something." A deep sigh crossed her lips and she turned to leave. "Follow me."
"Yes, yes. Oh but are you sure?"
"I"m sure." Lila mumbled. Right now she doesn"t want to look Haruka in the eye.
She understood full well that he didn"t do it deliberately. But even then it upset her. How could he even think of doing that knowing she was in the house? It"s the only way to remove the drug but, but did he have to... Lila suddenly felt a pair of familiar arms wrapped around her back.
"Let me go jerk!!!" Lila exclaimed.
"Sorry, sorry." Haruka mumbled. "I didn"t mean to, I"m really sorry. I thought it would be worse if we left it, but your right I shouldn"t be the one removing it."
Why is her husband so stupid? He is so annoying. She turned to him angrily and slapped him. "I told you already, learn to differentiate between normal kindness and affectionate. I"ve meant to say this for awhile now. But these days you feel more like Rikka"s husband than mine. You may think your not doing anything wrong. Certainly I"ve seen you, and yes most time your not doing anything wrong. However think how it looks to other people. Spending so much time with your ex girlfriend, dropping her to her house and staying there for dinner. Even if I trust you Haruka. All these rumors and the looks people give me are driving me crazy. I trust you, but wherever I go people mock me."
Lila didn"t mean to have an outburst. Normally they would kiss and make up by now. But maybe it was due to Soichiro"s provoking words on the phone just now. Lila felt very frustrated and angry. All the emotions she held back this entire time is spilling out.
"I don"t mind what other people think. That"s what I told you at the start, even now I think that. As long as we love one another then we can face any obstacle that will stand our way. But Haruka, I"m going crazy. You treat Rikksan with such affectionate kindness. I wonder if you"ve noticed. But when you talk to her, your tone is filled with such gentleness and warmth. Your the same with others but this is different. You will rush to her side if something bad happens to her. That"s no longer something a friend would do."
She is sick and tired of all these mind games people play on them. She hates it, hates how it"s actually working. No matter how strong she is, Lila knew there was a limit to how much she could ignore. Lila slumped her head on his chest.
"Leave me.." She mumbled quietly. "Just leave me already. I love you so much, but it hurts. Please don"t do this to me, I don"t want to hate you."

x.x.x- March X 2036
Lila must have pa.s.sed out because when she next woke up, she didn"t recognize her surroundings. Or rather -- Lila bolted up when she realized she was on an airplane. Wait? Huh?
She looked around and indeed confirmed it. "I"m on an airplane?" Before Lila could register anything, the door opened revealing her husband.
"Yeah, that"s fine. Make the arrangements. We will only be gone for two weeks, just change the location for the next round for me. Make it new York, a special stage."
Lila looked at him blankly. It took her awhile to process what he was saying. Did he kidnap her? Sensing him approach her, Lila closed her eyes.
Haruka brushed his hands across her forehead. "I know your awake."
"I"m not."
"Wife."
"I"m still your wife?" Lila shot back.
"Yes your my wife, I kidnapped you. If you keep sulking like this, you won"t enjoy our vacation."
A vacation? "Two weeks isn"t long."
"That"s what I told them. But I"m stealing you for a month or so."
Lila looked away from him. She felt a mixture of happiness and sadness. She couldn"t forget what she saw. "Haruka." Lila mumbled. "I truly love you. But what you did there was too much."
"If I told you we weren"t kissing would you believe me?"
"You weren"t?" Lila mumbled.
Haruka took something out of his pocket and pa.s.sed it to her. It was a small tube like item. Lila looked at it puzzled and then she noticed something, inside the tune were traces of poison.
"From that angle it was hard to see, but I used this on her. I had to hold it though."
"So you didn"t kiss her---" Lila couldn"t believe it.
"After that first time, I realized this may happen again."
Lila immediately understood. It was Soichiro, Soichiro did that deliberately. He wanted to mess with her mind. From wherever he was watching, surely he saw what was happening. He planted a seed of doubt in her head and she lost control. Lila felt very embarra.s.sed, she didn"t want to look Haruka in the eyes. But Haruka cupped her cheeks and brushed their forehead together.
"S--sorry, sorry," Lila mumbled.
"Sssh, don"t cry."
"Why did I doubt you?"
Is she crazy? After what she said to him not too long ago?
Haruka shook his head. "Do not blame yourself wife. It"s because of those people, from the very start they were messing with us." He placed a gentle kiss on her lips. "Were going to new York Lila, in that place we will have our vacation but also investigate."
New York? That"s...
"Yumi-senpai lived in New York for a bit, in that place she learned more about those with powers. Perhaps there is a secret there we don"t know of."
Her mother"s words echoed in her head. It seems like Haruka completed his investigation. Lila nodded. "Okay, as long as your with me."
Haruka nodded. "Alright wife, you calm now?"
Lila still felt very embarra.s.sed but she nodded.
"Then, get ready to scream."
Huh? Before Lila knew it she was on the ground in seconds. "I can"t break my promise. But I have my ways of making you scream my name."
"Wai--"
"No," Haruka said slyly. "To think you would doubt me even for a moment. Until we get to new York, I will have my way with you."
