~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



The whole room went silent, as Ryo stood up to reveal himself in front of Yuri.

"It's nice to meet you" Ryo said as he stepped forward. Something was very uncomfortable about all this, What if Yuri could tell? What if he was already suspecting Ryo was the murder like she had? What if he knew the things she didn't?

Although Ryo barely stood there for a minute, Mirai was already going insane as her mind practically blew up questions. Of course Yuri staring Ryo down wasn't helping much either. "have we met before?" Yuri's voice lingered in her mind once he said that. Trying to make light of the situation Mirai tried to crack a joke.

"Haha Yuri what are you trying to do? Pick him up with that corny line?"

Understanding what Mirai was trying to do Nao chimed in. "Now i know he is good looking Yuri but you cant go trying to pick up the person who set us up!"

Yuri's eyes grew large as he looked back at his wife at her words. Then his head whipped quickly back in Ryosuke direction. For YEARS, Yuri had wondered what had the man that lead him to his wife had looked like, his face being a vague memory he could never full process.

"You?" He asked as he took a better look at Ryosuke. "You were the guy who threatened to kill me if anything happened to her that day." Ryosuke let out a small laugh as Yuri finally took his hand.

"Sorry about that, I was in a bit of a hurry that day." Ryosuke said with a smile as he shook Yuri's hand.

"You threatened to kill him?" Nao asked crossing her arms, and Ryosuke smiled at her.

"What~ I was young, you were younger...Don't give me that look Nao!"

"BUT THATS NO REASON TO THREATEN HIM!" Nao was practically barking at him. Well after all she was pregnant so mood swings were to be expected but Nao just seems to be stuck on anger. "Nao think of it this way, I pulled him away from another girl just so he would stay with you." Which was technically true, Yuri was talking to some other girl that day before Ryo pulled him away. It's just that he forgot to put in that little detail about 2 other guys being there.

"YOU WERE FLIRTING WITH OTHER WOMEN?!" Nao fumed as she turned her anger once again towards her husband. Yuri jumped back surprised and genuinely scared, his wife when angry wasn't so bad. His wife while angry and jealous was a force to be reckoned with and damn right frightening.

"It was LITERALLY before I meet you!"

"I DON'T CARE"

"Now Now Nao, Calm down." Ryosuke said putting his hand on her shoulder as not so literal smoke left her nostrils.

"So why are you in my apartment again?" Mirai asked and all three head turned to look at her. Yuri nodded and Nao's anger seemed to settle although Ryosuke was fussing over her pregnant belly and Nao slapped his hands away, Yuri glanced only momentarily at Ryosuke not knowing why he grinned as if he'd known the guy for years, trusting him with his wife.

"Nao refuses to go anywhere else, and well that guy over there said she was in danger so, yeah. By the way." Yuri turned to Ryosuke.

"Yeah"?

"Why are you here? In this apartment...with Mirai?"

"I walked in on them while they were in action~ But they just had to ruin my fun and stop" pouting Nao reminded the two on what she walked in on. The said two embarrassment clearly written on Mirai's face as she turned beet red where as Ryo was able to make it seem as though the comment slid right off him. Flabbergasted Yuri stood wide eyed at the two, for one he never even knew how the face of the man that set him and Nao up looked like until literally minutes ago and second he would have never imagined that the two standing before him were acquainted moreover close in a relationship.

"so you two are…" Yuri let his sentence hang, expecting one of the two to continue it for him.

"We're dating." A squeal broke out from Nao as she happily twirled in excitement. Yuri still stunned from all this was just standing like a statued in the middle of Nao's twirls. The midget wasn’t the only one shocked, Ryo stood staring down at Mirai with questioning eyes.

What had she done? She was insane! There was no need for her to stare that she was in a relationship with him! Moreover she had to now deal with explaining how all this came about to Yuri!…Her partner…oh dear...this was just the start of her worries now.

"You....date?" Yuri asked suddenly after a long pause where everyone was dancing around in their heads. The question came as a surprise to Nao and Ryosuke who stared at the baby faced man who was looking at his partner in genuine disbelief. "You...actually...date?!"

"And just what is THAT supposed to mean?!" Mirai asked crossing her arms a bit offended by the question. Yuri blinked completely astonished as he stared between Ryosuke and Mirai.

"I just...well...I've never actually seen you with anyone."

"Just because you don't see me, doesn't mean I don't"

"There is actually a man out there who can handle you?" Completely annoyed with Yuri's line of questioning she threw her hands in the air and stormed into her small kitchen not wanting to see him.

The nerve of the man asking such ridiculous questions! Of course she dated! She was a very attractive woman who was constantly asked out on dates by many suitors....however if it came down to when was the last time she let herself enjoy a date or a man's company or even have relationship for that matter then that would be a completely different case. Truth was Ryo was on a different level all his own, so far away in fact that Mirai couldn't help but be drawn to him and allow herself to be swept by him.

"So~ You're swept away by me"

"I really don't like you eavesdropping on my thoughts." She said, not turning around to look at the man who was surely leaning against a counter with a very inviting grin on his face.

“Well your the one letting me hear the sweet words that pass through that head of yours.” He was having way to much fun teasing her. Giving him a look that could kill she turned around, annoyed with him too, preparing some refreshments and snacks for everyone. After she noticed the chuckling stopped from behind her she just assumed that Ryo had gone to the living room to join Nao and her very beaten up husband. Oh how wrong she was, the pair of strong arms made their way around her just as she set the juice down on the counter. Chin rested on her right shoulder he leaned closer in and whispered, “So, your swept away by me and you trust me. Gee if I didn’t know any better I’d say you were in love with me.”

That did it. She was on fire, face turning red as her body temperature rose and heart beat sped up. She was in love with him? How absurd! Yes she may trust him, possibly be interested in him but to be in love with him?!

His arms slowly turned her to face him, taking a step back to look at Mirai with her head hung low in deep though and to hide her blush, Ryosuke brought his hand up to cup her cheek. The feel of his hand against her face brought her back to reality, lifting her head she looked up at him as he leaned in. His lips were locked on hers and her hands were up in his hair and on his neck. Mirai was almost being held up by Ryo as her legs were giving out from tip toeing.

“Wow...you can kiss” A males voice said from the entrance of the kitchen.

Pulling away, both were flushed red. She wondered wether Ryosuke was blushing from embarrassment or just turning red from the lax of oxygen he couldn’t take in during their little ‘session’.

“Told ya didn’t I~” A much to excited Nao nagged her husband about the scene they just stepped in on.

“Yeah, who would have that Mirai could even kiss.” Yuri obviously going through a lot of new information in just one day looked as though he needed a seat.

“HEY WHATS THT SUPPOSE TO MEAN!” “WELL JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW YOU COULD DATE SO OBVIOUSLY SEEING YOU DO THIS IS A SHOCKER FOR ME” Mirai really didn’t know how to describe Yuri, he was...special...in the way you want to slap him back and forth across his face but you know you can’t. Still that didn’t stop her from feeling her veins popping out from her forehead, much to annoyed with the short freak she never would understand how Nao had a collar on him.

"Say..." Yuri said after a moment where his wife and Ryosuke bickered about how drinking orange juice was good for Nao, but she wanted a banana milkshake in where Ryosuke barked that she needed to stop being spoiled. Yuri's question once again were directed at Ryosuke.

"yes?" Ryosuke put his hand on Nao's face as she looked about ready to launch forward and bite his head off, pushing her gently back as she fought against him.

"What do you know..." The question was vague but Ryosuke understood perfectly well what Chinen Yuri was asking him.

"Nothing." Ryosuke replied curtly, suddenly becoming someone entirely different. It was plain as day that his reply was a bold face lie. Yuri stood then and look Ryosuke in the eyes, being an inch or so shorter than the man, but still standing his ground and looking at him.

"How did you know someone was targeting Nao? How did you know before we knew?" He asked, Ryosuke looked down at Chinen not saying a thing. "After we left...someone broke into our home...That person killed the officer in our house. Yabu is dead Mirai." Chinen informed not looking away from Ryosuke.

"What?" She whispered yet Ryosuke remained unchained.

"I'll ask you again...What.Do.You.Know?" Ryosuke looked away and smirked before looking back at the smaller man, his eyes dark and emotionless.

"Nothing."

"Nothing my butt, what are you hiding?" Yuri's voice was demanding, unfortunate for him though, Ryosuke doesn't react to such tones. Anyone from at least a yard away would have sensed the tense atmosphere surrounding them and based on natural instinct normally run from them.

"Enough!" Nao scolded the two as she made sure to get a good smack across the two taller mens heads. Mirai couldn't agree more, though she would have gone about it a different way by kicking the two instead of just a smack. She couldn't complain about Nao's way though.

"Yeah guys come on. There will be enough time to talk about these things later. Right now there are other matters at hand." As Mirai was talking Ryosuke managed to inch his way behind her not forgetting to stick his tongue out at Yuri in the process.

"Yup like my banana milkshake!" "Would you quit it about that unhealthy beverage!" Biting the bottom of her lip as Yuri displayed his dissatisfaction with the drink, Nao bit the bottom of her lip as she looked up at Ryo with wide teary eyes begging for that milkshake.

"No, I agree with the midget here." Ryosuke said crossing his arms as he looked down at Naomi.

"Whose a shrimp?" Yuri turned with fire in his eyes, but Ryosuke merely smirked.

"You a Shrimp."

"I’ll shove my beautifully short legs up your ass." Yuri shot back and Ryosuke laughed, he didn't know why but he was having way too much fun with Nao's husband, regardless of their small bickering the two men knew very well neither one was true on their threats.

"Now, now, lets not act gay in front of the ladies.

"You wish I was gay, I totally see you falling in love with me."

Mirai watched them as they had once again started bickering at one another, when that sentence left Yuri's lips however she thought she made a face and shook her head, if he was going to fall in love with anyone it was going to be with her.

"What?!" Yuri blurted turning to Mirai who blinked at him confused.

"What?" She asked back, Ryosuke grinned at her.

"So I'm going to fall in love with you now am I?" Mirai closed her eyes she needed to stop thinking around this man!

"Mirai why are you speaking your thoughts out loud?"

"I have that affect on her"

Nao started at Mirai. if there was one thing she knew about Mirai was how reserved she was even with her own thoughts. No one could ever really tell what was going on in her head and if anyone could so much as get a glimpse it was never as clear as it was at this moment.

"Wow..." Nao said crossing her arms and starring at Ryosuke. "You're like...Kryptonite to her or something."

"That doesn't make me sound very good now does it?" Ryosuke asked as Nao took a seat feeling the exhaustion her pregnancy brought with it.

"No but you're a good type of Kryptonite." Naomi sang as she gently let her hand rub on her stomach. Yuri didn't say much of anything a little too perplexed to really say much. His partner, his very very very recluse partner had just blurted out her thoughts. Her the woman who was refined and stone like...blurted out her thoughts!? WHAT THE HECK!

"So you plan on staying here Nao?" Ryosuke asked her as he leaned against the refrigerator.

"We both do. I think its the safest thing." Nao replied, Mirai nodded, chinen still lost in thought.

"You're welcome here Nao, the both of you."

"Yes~" Ryosuke agreed.

"Don't answer like you own the place you idiot."

"I was just agreeing with you." He teased as he pushed himself from the wall and took hold of Yuri's collar, practically dragging him out of the kitchen leaving the two girls alone.

Once in a different room, far enough from the ladies range of hearing Yuri pushed Ryosuke off.

“What’d you do that for?” “I’ll ell you this one and one time only.” His voice was serious and stern showing Yuri how important the words he’s going to say were.

After a nod from Yuri Ryosuke continued.

“If there are any questions at all, about what I know or how I know it, will not be asked when Mirai is around, or at least where she can hear you. Anything you are told is to be kept from her.” Yuri looked at the man with weary eyes, looking him up and down as he gave him a weird look. “What?” “Nothing.” “No seriously WHAT” Hey Ryosuke couldn’t help it, when someone gave you a weird look and then inspected you anyone would get aggravated.

“Aren’t you dating Mirai, not that I doubt that you are since after all I walked in on your little make out scene.” Yuri wasn’t suspicious of them dating at all. No, of course not why would he have doubts? Mirai, THE Mirai who would take months to get her to hug a male friend for the first time, was in the kitchen sucking Ryosuke’s face off. Now what was there to doubt. He was giving Ryosuke a weird look for something else.

“So...?” “So what I find strange is if you’re dating her for what I hope the reason to be because you like her, why hide such possibly important information from her?” Just by that Ryosuke knew, he knew that Nao was in safe hands, he knew that he wasn’t the only one that cared for Mirai, he knew that Yuri had a very high chance of becoming good friends with him. A ghost of a smile showed on Ryosuke’s face as he leaned against the wall behind him. “Sometimes, the most important information can be the most dangerous and no matter how wrong you realize it is to hide it, you can’t help but wish to keep it concealed from the person you love most, in hopes that it will keep them safe.”

"From that, I'm going to assume you're telling me you're in love with her." Yuri said as he crossed his arms and stared at the man in front of him. There was something...dark about him. Not dark in a dangerous way, dark in the sense that he had lived a very hard life, dark enough to make one more apprehensive than normal human beings. However Ryosuke didn't reply, he didn't look up and smile, he didn't wink at Yuri, he didn't make any facial or emotional expression, because the truth was Yuri's words rocked Ryosuke to his core.

How the hell did a person fall in love in less than 72 hours with another? Was that even normal? But the truth of the matter was Yuri's words rung true. He did love her, damn it if he could he'd be at the mercy of that woman's hands for the rest of his life, he's spent every waking moment begging her to let him spend just a moment by her side. Wasn't that crazy?

"Either way." Ryosuke said, brushing the statement off and proceeding like he hadn't heard Yuri, which made Yuri raise an eyebrow. "Whatever I tell you or don't tell you stays between you and me."

Nao peered her head from the kitchen, watching the two men in the far end of the apartment speak in mysterious whispers. She narrowed her eyes at them. What secret were they telling each other? She wanted to know! She wanted to be part of the crowd too! Why the hell did they have to go and be all secretive in a far away corner?! Why! it made it all that tempting to get up and eavesdrop just so she could be part of whatever was happening.

"They just meet and act like they've known each other forever." Mirai replied setting down a Banana Milkshake she had whipped up while the boys had stepped out of the Kitchen. When Nao saw it her eyes grew wide with joy and tears pricked the corners of her eyes as her hand reached out and took the drink, mentally sending all sorts of love towards the woman sitting next to her.

"They may not have met personally, but through the years they spoke here and there. I guess that counts for something."

“Hmmm I guess.” Mirai couldn’t help but giggle at how Nao immediately calmed down and agreed to what she said. Oh how Nao was so cute with the milkshake in her hands humming to herself as she slurped up the drink.

“You seriously love that stuff don’t you?” “HOW CAN I NOT? IT’S SO DELICIOUS!~” Stated Nao in her sing song voice as she went back down to her milkshake. Looking up back at the boys, she realized they were coming back into the kitchen and she noticed exactly where the guys eyes were heading towards, the refreshment on Nao’s hands...oh no...she was in loads of trouble.

“SHIDA MIRAI HOW COULD YOU!?” Yuri’s voice rang in her ears causing her to wince as he screamed. Slowly inching back from Yuri she tried to put up a smile. People though Nao was scary when she was mad, well so was Yuri and when Yuri was mad over something that had to do with Nao his anger would multiply 10 times more.

"I couldn't help it!" Mirai squeaked out as she backed away only to bump into Ryosuke's chest, how he got behind her without her realizing was beyond her. He look looked down at her with disproving eyes.

"How dare you go against Mom and Dad's wishes?!" Immediately Yuri, Mirai and Ryosuke turned their attention to Nao who was still happily sipping away at her shake.

"I'm guessing I'm the Mom in this situation...." Yuri said a little annoyed as his wife nodded at him.

"That would make sense..." Mirai trailed and they all looked at her. "WHAT! Is it my fault he's cute?! He is! I agree with him being Mom!" Ryosuke out right laughed at what she said, as did Nao. Yuri on the other hand glared at Mirai like there was no tomorrow and boy if looks could kill, Mirai would be experience the agony of death at that moment.

"Hey at least Mirai was just trying be thoughtful and let me have what I wanted for once! Unlike you two stingy people" Nao hmphed at the end and grabbed Mirai’s arm, pulling her away from the two as she brought Mirai protectively in her arms, glaring at the men.

"Woah woah isn't that Ryo's job? You know protecting her and all?" Yuri said. "No. She's mine" Nao growled and flashed her sharp teeth at her husband.

Nao being side tracked had failed to notice a certain someone was stolen from her arms until Mirai screamed "Hey!" The short couple turned to stare at a very awkward Mirai in Ryosuke's arms as he whispered perverted jokes in her ears just to turn her red.

Once Ryosuke was sure Mirai had worked her mind into a frenzy from everything he said to her, he let his arms tighten against her waist as he pulled her closer. He looked at Nao with the eyes that clearly screamed challenge.

"What...have I told you about touching things that are mine?" He said looking down at the younger woman who crossed her arms and accepted Ryosuke's silent challenge.

"She was mine first." Nao said back with the same coolness as Ryosuke, but Mirai didn't even bother listening after Ryosuke had possessively uttered the word mine. Is that how he thought of her? Not as a possession but in some weird was as his...like she was something that he would keep safe and never give away to anyone. She couldn't help but smile...so if she belonged to him then....would it be ok that she was also claiming him?

"This isn't an argument Nao!" Ryosuke said stirring Mirai from her thought, clearly the two having gotten into some silly argument, while Yuri had busied himself with making a sandwich. "She is MINE."

"Nope~ She's mine~"

Yes, it's fine to claim him as her own right? He was claiming her. So in all it would be fair, wouldn't it? Yes, it is. Okay! She's decided! Suddenly noticing the room went silent with all eyes on her, she couldn't help but hope she hadn't done it again. Nao's sudden whine had everyone snap back and stare at her.

Ryosuke obviously understanding why Nao was so displeased had a smirk on his face. "But she was mine first Yuri! Doesn't that count for something? I love her and she-she-uwaaaaa" Yuri now away from his sandwich was trying to calm his wife down.

"I told you she was mine didn't I?"

Ryosuke earned a glare directed his way as Nao stared him down like he was a meal. "Did I...?" Mirai started off. Ryosuke decided to confirm her thoughts in a way he could enjoy. "Well, it is only logical that if you were mine, I was yours. Don't you think so?"

"Yuri" Mirai said and the man looked at her. "Pass me a knife...I wish to die now." She said in all seriousness, however Ryosuke simply pulled her closer to him and further from Yuri and Nao.

"What...planning on doing Seppuku?" Yuri asked as he calmed Nao by offering her his beloved sandwich.

"Yes."

"NO" Ryosuke stated simply as tightened his hold on her even more. Pressing her body completely against his. "I'm not letting you go anywhere."

"You guys are just disgusting." Nao hmphed as she bit into Yuri's beloved sandwiched, he sighed in defeat. "Get a room."

"We would be in a room Nao, doing all sorts of delicious things had you not walked into this apartment and interrupted me!"

"IM PREGNANT DO NOT BE MEAN TO ME!"

"Well maybe just maybe if you guys didn't come in on us we would be doing the exact same thing you guys did to get pregnant!" Ryosuke said in all seriousness as well causing Mirai to blush when she realized he wasn't joking at all.

Nao grinned as she began to speak but Yuri cut her off. "that is impossible. You couldn't have done the exact same thing." He said nonchalantly. Raising an eyebrow Ryo asked "And why is that"

A wicked grin spread across the midgets face as though it were daring Ryosuke to ask more. "That's because we do this while we are at it and then I -" "LALALALA I CAN NOT HEAR YOU!" Mirai screamed as she covered her ears.

"Hush now, this is interesting" Ryosuke said calmly as he put his hand over her mouth to shut her up. The action cause Mirai to squirm around in his arms and fight him back but Ryosuke, not surprisingly, was much stronger than she could ever hope to be.

"And then-" Mirai refuse to tune into the next part of Yuri's sentence. No way was she interested in any thing they had to say about the matter.

"And she actually let you do that?" Ryosuke's shocked voice caught Mirai's curious nature.

"Of course, I am very persuasive." Yuri said with a proud grin.

"It was very nice~" Nao said as she stopped eating for a moment to make that statement. Oh dear god they were all nuts. She shut her ears again as Yuri continued to speak. She wouldn't think about these things...she would think about...about......

For some reason her mind wondered back to Ryosuke. What did he know, she wondered. What was so important that he kept it a secret. She knew, that he knew who the Rose Murderer was....so why wouldn't he give that person up? Why? Was it possible that it was someone that Ryosuke loved?

The more that Mirai thought on the topic, the more distant she became and once Ryosuke felt the change in her, his attention was given to her, and that prompted Yuri and Nao to focus their attention on her. Ryosuke removed his hand from her mouth but even then whatever thoughts were running through her head were not being spoken.

They could tell, however; whatever it was she was thinking wasn't brooding well within her. Mirai's train of thought was leading her into a dark place. What if...she wondered, whoever the Rose Murder was, was so important to Ryosuke that he would give up his own life for that person. No...NO. She knew she only meet Ryosuke 72 hours ago but damn it she didn't want anyone taking him away from her. Wasn't that the reason she had let him stay? Wasn't that the reason she hadn't handed him over from the very start? Because she had wanted him to stay beside her even when she had not known who he was.

She was going to figure out who the Rose Murdered really was. She was going to clear Ryosuke name. That was no one could ever take him from her...no one.

"Uh...Mi-chan?" Nao said softly, slowly pulling Mirai out of her thoughts. Once Mirai realized all eyes were on her she began to fell uncomfortable but Ryosuke felt her relax in his arms.

"What! WHY ARE YOU ALL STARING?!"

"Where did you go just now?" Ryosuke asked her.

"No where. Well....I'm deciding that I don't like Yuri being the mom at all." She said and Yuri slumped his head defeated.

"Why not~" Nao complained.

"I don't care how cute Yuri is....I'm not handing this guy over to anyone."

It was Ryosuke’s turn to go silent. His arms were still wrapped around her, however he was as still as a rock. Yuri looked like he was going to faint, there was only so much shocking news the guy could handle in just about an hour or so. Nao sat with her Milkshake, which was now her second cup, with the straw in her mouth as she slurped the milky banana goodness, of course with a grin that definitely did not go unnoticed.

Oh great, just great! When she stays quiet everyone think’s she had gone ‘somewhere’ and therefore is practically labeled insane. Yet when everyone else goes silent she is once again left in the dust, being the only one that wasn’t on the same track. Sighing she decided it was about time the silence should be put to an end.

“AHEM” The rough noise she had made caused the two shocked men to just stare at her.

Ryo being the quicker of the two to come back to reality and regain his composure leaned forward onto Mirai’s back. “No worries, I wasn’t planning on giving myself to anyone but you.” This time she didn’t turn red, nor was she stunned. She was biting the corner of her lips biting bak the smile that was so close to emerging and just daring to burst across her face.

“I wasn’t planning on giving myself to anyone but you~. Ohhh how familiar this sentence is, it’s almost the same thing I told Yuri the night-” “NAO SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! I DON’T NEED TO KNOW YOUR PRIVATE MATTERS!” Giggling Nao just flashed a sly smile Mirai’s way as she went back to her ‘forbidden’ drink the guys had called it.

"Mi-chan~" Nao sang as she brought the cup away from her lips "You'll need to know what to do when you get in sheets with Ryo here~ I mean this guy is a monster, let me tell you." The way the words left her lips had Yuri and Mirai staring at both Ryosuke and Nao with great suspicion and mistrust. The way she said that was almost like she had first hand experience about what she was talking about.

"I am not a monster." Ryosuke argued back finding that Nao was greatly mistaken. "I...just know what I'm doing."

"Yes sir." She took a sip of her drink. "...You do"

"Nao." Yuri began feeling jealousy bubble at the pit of his stomach. "You and Ryo...how...have you...slept with him."

"NO!" shot at her husband completely insulted at his statement. "EW GOD NO!" she nearly broke the cup when she slammed it on the table. "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!"

"I'm a man!" Yuri defended "And the way you were talking just now was insinuating more than you will ever know."

"Oh god, EW NO! I lived with him for some time my god!" She shuddered at the thought. "In college! Ryosuke...every time he brought a girl home I would hear everything and from what I heard it was....it was monstrous!"

"I'm not a monster" Ryosuke stated again.

"That one girl could barely feel her legs!" Mirai and Yuri stared at Ryosuke who seemed unfazed by the information that had been revealed.

"I was just the best she ever had is all." He replied and Mirai narrowed her eyes. Just how many women had this man known?! "Not as many as Nao makes it sound." Mirai crossed her arms and pulled away from him. "Wha- O”

"Wha- I'm serious! Hey! Stop starring at me like that"

"Either way be gentle with Dear Mirai here" Nao said lifting her cup again. "The girl is a virgin."

"No" Mirai said calmly which actually shocked Nao.

"No?" Mirai shook her head the girl. "WHEN DID IT HAPPEN?!"

"Years ago, I was in college."

"OH MY GOD I'VE BEEN DECEIVED BY YOU!" Nao cried

"I don't ever remember saying I was a virgin Nao."

“BUT YOU ARE NEVER-AND THEN-BUT DATES?! HOW ABOUT DATING?! I NEVER SEE YOU GO ON DATES!”

“So, all because you never SAW it doesn’t mean I hadn’t” Mirai was so calm as she walked to the counter to pick up an orange and begun to peel it.

“WITH WHO?! SHIDA MIRAI I THOUGHT WE WERE LIKE SISTERS I SEE HOW IT IS!” “YURI YOU’RE NOT EVEN A GIRL” Pouting Yuri glared at her.

“Seriously though, Yuri we may not even know the guy.” Which was true Nao had a point there, she could be right. Knowing that this could have been some guy that no longer had contact with her anymore somehow put Ryo in ease.

“Well...uhmm about that...” Her words slowly trailed of as she had focused her full attention on the orange in her hand.

“We know him don’t we! THAT MEANS WE KNOW HIM! MY GOD SUCH A YUMMY SECRET AND YOU DON’T TELL ME!?” Nao was practically crying, she told Mirai the first time she...well you know...with Yuri...which was surprisingly NOT at night...

All eyes were on her as she tried to avoid any eye contact with any of them.

“So who is it?” Yuri was the one to ask this time.

“...Miki...” She whispered hoping she wouldn’t have to repeat it again.

“Did she just?...” “I think so...” “Mirai say it again”

“I SLEPT WITH MIKI OK! AND IT WASN”T JUST ONCE! WHY ARE YOU GUYS SO CURIOUS ABOUT THESE MATTERS!?” Mirai couldn’t help it, all the eyes..it was getting to her and she just well, blew up.

“Miki” That one word came out of Yuri’s mouth, she would’t have been surprised if his eyes popped out as well.

“Wooo~ You got a good one~” Nao’s sing song voice was turned back on as she spoke.

Mirai and Yuri stared back at her again, she had an excuse for Ryosuke...but for Miki?

“What? I meant he’s good looking” “Mhmmm”

“Why do you guys love talking about my personal business.” Mirai wailed as she set her orange down on the counter. Patting Mirai’s back Nao nodded up and down. “Well if you’d like I could spill some of his dirty secrets too” She suggested as she pointed a finger Ryo’s way. Immediately he started to furiously shake his head, afraid of how Mirai may react. Nao being Nao she ignored his extremely obvious refusal and racked her brain for something interesting. “He broke his bed once.”
