He froze. Only his eyes are blinking repeatedly. His brain can"t comprehend Kahina"s action. His tongue tied and his voice stuck on the throat. Touma"s mouth gasped like fish desperate for air.The flowery drama kind of scene a moment ago turns to stare compet.i.tion between them. Kahina mischievous smile appeared and Touma still froze. Kahina expected this reaction and Touma"s brain has been haywire and he completely no idea how to react.
Well, he was not alone. Han"s jaw dropped, his eyes bulged and his body turned to a statue.
"Young Mistress moves was savage!!!"
Another person almost lost his eyeb.a.l.l.s stood exactly behind the couple. He loses the grip of the phone he was holding and the "tuck tuck tuck" sound of the phone on the ground wasn"t able to snap him from shock.
One second...
Two seconds...
Five seconds...
Ten seconds...
Touma retracted his hands gently then he caressed Kahina"s head and gave her a warm smile. Touma can hear determination and sincerity from her but his heart feels really heavy. He can"t explain the feeling he felt for Kahina. He is comfortable being with her. He felt he can be himself and didn"t have to worry about his image and status at all but he knows his future wasn"t a fairy tale. To give her the love of the fairy tale she deserves, he was not the right man. He knows, even with the current relationship he had with her, they were putting everyone in their world on alert.
Two biggest yakuza family decide to be allies will cause an uproar. Other families will be anxious and they will never sit tight. Considering the consequences wasn"t worth Kahina"s life, he promised himself even if it hurts both of them, he will protect her.
He contemplating how to explain her about this, and he tenderly pulled her to the nearest bench and sat there facing her.
"I really appreciate the thought. I really do but...!!!"
Kahina sudden move numb his thought and stopped his words. He was only able to feel the warm soft lips on his. Her warm breath to his skin and the sweet smell touched his nose. He once again froze but Kahina did not stop there, she clamped both of her palms on his cheeks and terrorizing his mouth hungrily. He felt his body becomes hot and his brain had been haywire again.
"Please... Please... I know what you are going to say next but please Touma, do not say it!" As soon as she let go his lips she started to plead with watery eyes and blush on her cheeks. She was so tempting and beautiful.
"I promise I will never be a burden. I promise no one will hurt us. No one will harm our family. So, please Touma let me be with you."
"Kahina, you know I care about you but you didn"t know how scared I am when I saw you on the hospital bed last time."
He doesn"t want it to happen again. He won"t allow it.
Kahina understands his thought. She knows Touma is a soft-hearted person deep inside but hardens his heart so he could protect himself from heartache. Kahina knows every move she made before was a success and Touma values her a lot. It was nothing to do with the contract he made with Takio neither the promised she made to him. Touma indeed care.
But who is Kahina? She never let anyone trampled on her as they please. She might be a woman and hold no power like her brothers and father and Touma himself but she grew up in the dog eats dog world. Instead of being a dog, she prefers being a snake. A single bite could kill her enemy, torment them to h.e.l.l and if they are beneficial, she will wrap and squeeze everything she can from them. Being in the shadow and support every person she loves was her resolution long before she met Touma. Adding Touma in her list was her pleasure.
"Rest a.s.sures. It will never happen again."
"You can"t be sure, Kahina."
"Yes, I can"t be sure what future holds us but I absolutely sure your rejection will hurt me more than them."
"Kahina..." he was on alert when after Kahina kissed him just now and now she tried to do it again but he caught her sly intention and he put his palm on her small face, blocked her advance instantly.
"Tch! Stingy!" Kahina glared at him.
"We in the middle of serious talk right now, woman!" he stood and his eyes was blaze with anger.
"This woman is really shameless. She is not even blushing! I can"t even knock some sense to her!" Touma felt like his IQ depleted rapidly talking to Kahina. The way Kahina treated him makes him feels like he was the women instead of hers.
"Yeah... yeah... Why so serious?" she amused with the tomato red face in front of her. "Aww, my cute hubby..."
He cleared his throat tried to calm himself and said, "This is not a small matter. I don"t want to see you getting hurt."
"Just now you almost hurt me! Luckily I s.n.a.t.c.hed the kiss as compensation. My heart instantly cured. I"m tired tonight. Let"s celebrate next time! But remember Touma, you are mine!" She walked away leaving him speechless.
Ando and Han stopped the urge to puke blood for Kahina last words. Their brain was blown by her. Han admitted the boldness of Kahina was way savage than anyone he knows. And on the other hand, Ando cried invisible tears when he remembered that was his Young Master first kiss if you regard the unintentional kiss Kahina claimed when she saves him before. His Young Master first kiss supposed to be romantic and sweet not by forced and stealing!
When Kahina approaching Han, he still rooted stone stared at Touma"s direction. Kahina gave a slap on the back of his head. The slaps brought him back but he still fazes and only blinks a few times.
"Let"s go, Han."
Upon hearing her order, he finally back in controlled of his body.
"Yes. Young Mistress!"
