She struggled under his arms and tried to escape. She kicked and punched him with what little strength she had left. But that only enticed him more, it only made him deepen the kiss. Lila felt his hot tongue trace her bottom lip for an entrance. She refused, but his demand grew stronger and more impatient, his grip on her tightened — and Lila felt him lean forward. Out of instinct, she stepped back but then realized how a single step more and she would fall. He would be in the position to push her. Lila felt all her circulation being cut off because of his entire body pressed against hers. At the moment Lila tried to catch her breath, Itsuki used it was an opportunity to shoot his tongue inside. It was no good. No matter how much she refused, he had control. She closed her eyes and fought back the tears. Don"t cry, don"t show him any signs of weakness. It will pa.s.s. Kisses are nothing.
But are they? Haruka"s kisses, even before they dated always felt warm. It always made her feel all bubbly and warm inside. But this? This kiss with Itsuki made her feel disgusted inside. It"s revolting. Itsuki currently had their tongues inter winded in each other as he got her mouth to kiss back. No, this - she doesn"t like it. After what felt like forever Itsuki finally moved away.
"How fun? I even got a reaction from you. Maybe you are the same as those other women. If so, then you can expect us to do this again."
Do this again? Like she would let him. The moment she recovers her strength, she will ask Soichiro to set up a situation that involved her beating him up and making it look like an accident. Lila however still trembled, calm down. Calm down, but no matter how much she repeated these words she felt her legs trembling. How could he do that? She felt so violated and disgusted. A few minutes go by when she felt Itsuki reach over for her neck, "I guess I should end your life if there is no next time."
What?
Itsuki lips curve to a smile, "Unless you agree with me.."
"Like h.e.l.l."
"Then die."
Before anything else could happen; however, a hand reached out and grabbed Itsuki"s. He twisted it and pulled her into his arms. Lila felt a warmth wash over her cold and trembling body.
"Haruka," Lila murmured. It was none other than her boyfriend Karas.h.i.+ma Haruka. From the looks of his appearance, he only just got here.
Haruka gently kissed her forehead before he angrily turned to the man, "What were you doing?"
"Nothing, just having a friendly chat."
Friendly? Just now he threatened to push her off the balcony. Lila shuddered at the thought. While she could have easily used her powers to evade him, with her condition the way it is. Lila would have risked making the situation worse; she could have collapsed. If she collapsed with this person around who knew what would have happened to her? Haruka hugged her tighter, "Ssh," he whispered.
That was the first time she felt so frightened of another person before. Though Lila figured that he was no regular guy, she didn"t expect him to turn out like this.
"But," Itsuki"s lips curve to a smile, "I can see why you wish to protect her so badly now. She is more fragile than one would think. It"s quite amusing."
Haruka"s glare deepened, "Saying that, do you want to lose your life?"
"I wonder."
"That"s enough," a harsh voice interjected. Lila"s eyes widened when she saw a woman with short pink hair, wearing a golden dress. Ah? Recognition filled her eyes.
"Misaki-san."
This woman is Aizawa Misaki, apart. Also, she was one of the girls Kiryu saw before.
She waltzed over and poured the cup of red wine in her hand all over Itsuki. The man who just moments ago held a menacing and dark aura froze in shock.
"Now dear Misaki, aren"t you being to--" Misaki stepped on his foot, and he lets out a large yelp, "I understand, I understand. I"ll zip it."
Misaki turned to her, a soft smile tugged her lips, "I liked your stage. Keep up the good work. I"d love to have a chat with you, but Haruka definitely won"t let me now."
Haruka sighed, "Just take that guy away."
Misaki nodded and bowed, "Sorry for the trouble," she apologized and yanked Itsuki by the ear and pulled him along. However, halfway she suddenly paused, "Lila, I want to talk to you about Kiryu. I"ll say this now, so the idiot over there don"t misunderstand anything. But he"s been coming by to see your lives."
Eh?
"During the time they took the video, he visited you. So you really are the only one who can testify for him. Well, we can talk about this in length another time," with those words said the pink haired woman walked away leaving her stunned.
Kiryu came to see her? Even before she dated Haruka, even before they saw each other in that place? The reality seemed too good to be true. But Misaki-san isn"t the type of person to say things with no evidence. The most likely scenario is Kiryu asked for her help to cover his tracks because Lila didn"t sense him in the crowd at all. Kiryu came to see her before, and several times from the looks of it. Is it the same even now? Her thoughts broke off when Haruka"s lips grazed against her neck. Her back leaned against the edge.
"I hate it when somebody who knows that guy comes by. Even if it"s just for a moment, someone distracted your thoughts. You aren"t thinking of me and me alone."
His words contained a trace of sadness, but it was washed away with how incredibly possessive he sounded. Though Itsuki backed her against the corner like this earlier, and her heart beat loudly. The feeling is different; the cause of this heartbeat is due to how nervous she felt. She is nervous; whenever this person gets near her, she loses all control of herself. She is unable to think rationally. Why is that? Why does the man named Karas.h.i.+ma Haruka invoke such feelings inside her?
