Hinode Residence"Where did Kaede and Keito go?" Kahina asked the maid when she couldn"t find them in their room. Kahina needs something from both of her brother regarding stupid decision Touma made about getting married.
Angry? Of course, she was, but she doesn"t know why she so calm. It is like the news meant nothing to her. Touma was obvious has a feeling for her even though she wasn"t sure if it is love or something else but at least Kahina knew Touma care and to go to this extent just to push her away as he claimed it is for her safety, it gave her a glimpse of hope.
"Both of Young Master is in the library. They said not to bother them."
Kahina nodded and directed her steps to the library. Kahina opened the door slightly but not rushed to enter.
"Kahina must know about this. It is easier to protect her if she understands the real enemy around her." Keito sounds desperate and agitated.
Kahina halted her movement and stick her ear to the door.
"But I"m worried she will do something stupid. You know how she cares about him."
"Akihira"s matter is not something you hide from her. Moreover, if it involves Touma. Brother, I think it best for her to know. We need to trust her."
Kaede scratched his head although it is not itchy at all. It was a habit he developed when he perplexed on something. Keito stared at his brother. No smile on his face like usual. When it comes about Kahina well-being, not a thing considered as a joke. There are only two women he will sacrifice everything to see they smile, the first one is his mother and the other one is Kahina. Keito realised their circ.u.mstances were far from being normal and simple. He swore at least these two women must have a happy life as long as he is alive.
Kaede understands what Keito tried to tell him, but he believes Kahina will not just sit back and do nothing when she knows about the matter. What Kaede worried the most was the same with Touma. Kahina life far more dangerous if Touma and Kahina are together but at the same time, he also believes Kahina is big enough to a.n.a.lyses the matter and come out with a good solution. The main problem is that Kaede can"t shake off his worries about the danger she might face.
Kahina leisurely walked in the room with a smirk on her face.
"Ahem!" Both of the men startled and their faces turned white when they saw Kahina comes to their direction. They both looked like they have been caught doing something bad.
"Kahina! Don"t you know how to knock?!" Keito stood up and pointed his finger at her but Kahina only replied him with a glare and she sat on the sofa. The sofa was arranged with a "U" shape with a tea table in the middle. Kaede sat on the single sofa and Keito was on the right.
"If I knock I would never hear about your interesting conversation, didn"t I?" She folds her hands to the chest and leaned comfortably.
"Now, gentlemen. Explain everything please." Kaede almost pukes blood listened to her stress on the word "please".
"Please my a.s.s! Like we have a choice." Kaede cursed her while remains emotionless in the surface.
Kaede was famous with a man with fewer words. Aloof and strict.
"Don"t you dare to patronise us! I will smack your b.u.t.t!" Keito tried to hit Kahina but Kaede stopped him when Kahina runs behind Kaede for protection.
"Both of you! Sit!" When they heard a thunderous voice from Kaede both of them immediately obeyed.
"Kahina, we have something to tell you but only if you promise you would never do anything stupid. Remember! You are the daughter of Hinode."
"Yes, Brother."
"And you Keito remember your main priority. Many people depend on you. Don"t let them down."
"Yes, Brother."
"Listen, Kahina. We found out Hinata Akihira was not dead but live here in Tokyo. She is now is Oata"s woman. The description from the guard in prison matched her but he can"t confirm her face."
"You mean the culprit who killed Ken was her?" she gritted her teeth and tightens both fists.
"We can"t be sure yet but she is the main suspect right now." Kaede grabbed her fist and caress it gently. He saw her tears well up with the trembles lips.
"She is a threat. Anzo Family is in danger."
"Yes, it is not our concern but you are. Do I need to worry about you?" Kaede looked at her with worries but she shook her head to convince him, he can be at ease.
"No, Brother. I just need to let Touma know about this." She must alert Touma about Hinata Akihira. She might seem harmless but Kahina refused to believe it is coincident for her to be Oata"s woman. For her to approach Oata, it is not an easy task. She must calculate everything. Touma must know about this.
"To be honest, I think Touma already informed about it. That is why he tried to distance himself from you." Keito sent a few men to monitor Touma, Oata and n.o.bu movement but he found out there is no movement from Oata and n.o.bu but Touma was a bit weird although nothing out of the norm on his side either. Keito realises Kahina being followed, but they kept their distance like they just an observer and Fanna Daiki movement also being monitored closely by him. His man must be stealthily and accurate to avoid detection.
"Oh... That is why he increased the number of men around me." Kahina rubbed her chin.
"You knew?" Her words shocked Keito.
"Of course, I know. They are my sweetheart"s men. I can"t do anything but pretended like I didn"t. I just don"t understand the reason behind it before."
"And do you know about him looking for a bride too?" Keito squinted his eyes to Kahina facial movement but the only thing he got was a nod and a sly smile from her.
"Yup, I know. That is why I looking for both of you today."
Kaede and Keito looked at each other, puzzled with Kahina composure. Everyone expected her to flipped everything out, but she as calm as a midnight sea. Both of them were afraid of the storm that might come after.
