Takara's PoV

It's been ages since Kakeru and I were on our last date. I was really looking forward to it until his work cut us off.

He stood up straight, then carried me up from the ground. I held onto his shirt tightly, no one can ever get used to flying just like this!

I saw Kakeru and the others off from the front door, then went back into the living room.

"Hey Takara. Wanna have something to eat?" Meguru asked me with his usual tender smile. I was about to decline when my stomach rumbled so loudly you can hear it from Russia. I just then remembered that Kakeru and I didn't have time for the restaurant we both saw together, I hadn't eaten since breakfast this morning. A dark blush of red reached to my face.

Meguru chuckled: "I see how it is. Is sushi okay with you?"

I nodded, still flustered.

"Welcome home! How'd it go?" I greeted him as soon as he entered.

"Well..." He stepped aside, I looked past him to a gorgeous woman taking in her surroundings. She looks around her mid-twenties.

"You must be Takara." She startled me when she said that, "hi. Call me Saki. I'll be here for ten days max."

"Um hi...." Staying here? For ten days? Why? Is she some sort of helper for the demons?

"Enjo publish building, Seasonelle magazine."

Oh my god! She's the only female member of the Seasonelle magazine! I love the things she main edits!

"I read that every week." I heard Satoru mumble. I do too. Sometimes Kakeru reads it with me.

~~

"We should have a welcome party!" Haru suggested energetically, after Saki went into her prepared room, just next to mine.

"Sure, why not. It'll be fun." I start to picture a feast on the table, which me and Meguru will probably make. But with a party, Kakeru will definitely have a drinking contest again....

"No thanks, I'm not all parties, besides, I'm meeting a friend, today." I almost yelped out loud at her sudden voice right behind me since I'm standing near the staircase.

"You must've felt a breeze or something, that's uncanny." Kakeru shook his head at the thought of Saki being even too cold for a demon-in-training like Meguru.

"You're probably right...." Meguru mumbled. But isn't this kinda weird? I mean, when people think they're imagining something, it's usually a real deal. Or it's just because I day dream a lot...

"I don't care what she says! I'm throwing a party for her!" Haru suddenly piped up again. I feel my mood getting excited as well at his enthusiasm.

"More like throwing yourself one." I heard Kakeru mutter but I ignored it.

"What's a party without party poppers?!" when he said that, he already flew upstairs, probably getting supplies from his room.

~~

"Satoru, report?" Kakeru asked as soon as both of them entered the door.

"She was with an angel." Satoru said rather calmly.

"Come again?" everyone asked while I turn my gaze to Saki, who was chilling on the couch.

"Any who, we were supposed to be throwing a party for you!" Haruhito added with his usual attitude. Then, streamers popped around her and balloons feel from the ceiling.

"Come on, Sachiko, cheer up!" Meguru pulled out a chair for her at the dining table, and I took a seat beside her.

I thought of little Canon while briefly telling Saki about my part of the story. I thought of how blissful Makoto and her husband looks now. And...Kakeru saved them....

"Well..." she suddenly started, and I give her my undivided attention, "let's just say, there's still a lot of things I need to work out, I need some extra time."

I nod in understanding. Don't push her on the subject, it might be sensitive.

"That's enough for today, don't you think?" I tried to stop them after they've down five bottles and was about to go for ten more, but as usual they don't listen.

Kakeru shouldn't have let Saki go buy beer, this is supposed to be her party, after all. But it kinda turned into their drinking party.

Then, I watched as Satoru took out a bottle from the fridge, and poured some in the plate containing French fries, so I assume that it's ketchup.

Dipping one in the ketchup, I delivered the French fry to my mouth. As soon as the sauce touched my tongue...

It's hot sauce!

I grabbed my water bottle and got to the bottom of it. Knowing Satoru, I should've expected this prank from him! Soon I realize I wasn't the only one with a numb tongue.

"Satoru! What the heck!" Haruhito shouted hoarsely, and Shiki pushed a glass of lemonade away. I peered into the glass and saw sprinkles of pepper floating on the surface. Also, the sandwich Meguru just ate was flowing with hot sauce hiding between the vegetables.

Satoru laughed, and to my surprise Saki was giggling as well.

After the party ended, I wanted to help Meguru clean up, but Kakeru half dragged me into his room with him.

He drank just a tad too much in the end. Now he's lying on the bed with his arm over his eyes.

"Saki...she's interesting, isn't she?" I brought up the subject since I don't know what else to say.

"Yes. It's strange that she knows an angel." Kakeru said still not removing his arm. I wasn't going that way about Tsubasa Shirai, but he's got a point. I wonder what he looks like? I don't follow male models. I've actually got plenty of eye candy if I were one of those fan girls. Kakeru, Satoru, Shiki, Haruhito and Meguru, they're all good-looking guys. Especially Kakeru...I mean—well...

"Takara!" Kakeru's voice snapped me out of my day dream and I jerk my gaze to him. "That's three times I've called out to you, what're you dreaming about? You're red."

I touched the back of my right hand to my left cheek, that was then I notice how hot my cheeks were.

"You were thinking about me." All of a sudden, his face was right in front of mine.

"K-Kakeru? Um, aren't you drunk??" I tried to say as I was under him now. My back against the mattress, his lips covered mine briefly before collapsing onto me.

He fell asleep.... I thought as I struggled to move. When I finally tucked him in, I sat up, wanting to go back to my room, but then I felt a pull. Kakeru had quite a grip on my left hand.

He's a complete angel when he's asleep. I thought as I got under the covers with him. Though he'd definitely get angry if I tell him that.

Sachiko's PoV

(Nine Days)

The next morning, I got up at five thirty. And went downstairs after I got dressed. I wore a baggy light T-shirt with 'sweet fashion icon' written from top to bottom; a pair of jean shorts; and a pair of turquoise and pink flip flops.

Thinking nobody else gets up this early and the living room was empty, anyways, I opened the door to the bathroom—

"Is someone there?" came Satoru's voice from the shower section.

"Why the hell are you showering so early in the morning?" I asked back as I set my cup and tooth paste on the counter, tooth brush in hand.

"Do remember that I have a life outside of work, I won't have any time after." He replied, then turned on the sprinkler again.

With the shower still running in the background, I brush my teeth and hair like I'm the only one here. Hey that kinda rhymes.

After about five more minutes, I heard the water stop and the door to the shower room opened. Satoru stepped out with just a towel wrapped around...just an inch higher than his hips. I've got a feeling that he wrapped it that low on purpose. I was still brushing my long hair—it takes work and time—while we locked eyes in the mirror, he walked up behind me.

Holy eight pack. My mind shouted, and I can't help but to break eye contact with him.

"Nervous?" he was standing behind me now, I try my best not to look at him.

"Not really." I put down the brush, then run my fingers down my now smooth hair.

"You're gorgeous, you know that?" he took, yet another step closer to me. I can feel his skin almost against mine.

"I know." I say, brushing him off. Then turned on my heels and exited the bathroom.

"What's that delicious smell?" Kakeru and Meguru came into the kitchen first.

"Nothing much. Just omelets, miso soup, bacon and some sunny-side-up eggs." I say just as I'm pouring miso soup into bowls. "After all, you guys are doing me a favor. I'm no free loader."

"Whatever that smell is, it's making me hungry!" Haruhito chirped as he flew down the stairs. He loves flying doesn't he.

"Wow Saki you made all those?!" Takara helped set the table.

I mixed another bowl of salad before letting them eat.

"What's with the feast?" I heard Shiki coming down the stairs slowly.

"You got up early." Satoru remarked.

"The meal was amazing, thank you." Meguru cleaned up the dishes. I flung my purse over my shoulder, then stuffed my phone into my jeans pocket. I'd changed into a jean jacket over a black and white long sleeve shirt, with tan-colored jeans and a pair of black low neck boots.

"Ready't go?" I asked to no one in particular, but there's only one person who'll answer me.

"Right behind ya." He answered so I stepped out of the house.

"Hey Satoru!" on our way to my office building, I spot a woman looking around twenty two running towards us. Human; a waitress in a small bar.

"How come you weren't at our meeting spot for our date yesterday afternoon?" her eyes were full of disappointment but she's trying to think of the positive, like maybe he was sick or something.

"Oh we had one? Sorry I totally forgot." He replied casually, not even giving her a reason.

"You..!" tears were forming in her eyes as she raised her hand attempting to slap him, but he immediately caught her wrist. Still not saying anything, he remained as she started yelling: "I knew it I knew it! You f'''ing player how can you do this?! I waited for hours!"

Satoru doesn't show any signs of stopping her, but I can't stand here waiting for her to finish, I only have two more hours left before I'm gonna be late.

"Hey listen will ya?" I caught her attention and she stopped yelling, Satoru looked at me in surprise, "If you really knew he's no good you shouldn't've expected him to change for you in the first place; if the guy doesn't arrive within ten minutes after the meeting time and he doesn't call you, you should leave. Guys who're late on dates aren't worth waiting for. And stop crying will you? It's pathetic to cry over a guy not evenworth it."

She seemed to take it in, she wiped off her tears streaming down her face, gave Satoru one last hard look. Then stormed away.

"Finally. I can't wait all day." With her out of the way, I continue walking. Satoru caught up.

"What was all that about?"

"Just giving her awesome advice." I shrugged. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, I guess. "Besides, only weaklings get beat by this so called love."

"What happened to you?" he asked after a few seconds of silence.

"I've never believed in it anyways." I quickened my pace, hoping he'd get the hint that I'm ending this conversation, but sadly he didn't.

"Could you possibly...be a virgin?" I almost spat out blood at his question.

"You've met a twenty-five-year-old virgin nowadays before?" I snap back at him.

"So who was the lucky guy?" he asked with a smirk and I shot a hard glare at him. What the heck is his problem?!

"It's none of your business!" That's it I'm gonna lose it if you ask one more question.

Gladly, he chuckled lightly and finally shut up.

We arrived at the front of my office building. But how's Satoru supposed to keep an eye on me?

"I'll know when you leave the building and I'll follow you, don't worry. And I'll just float around outside since I'm pretty sure I'm not allowed inside." Satoru explained as I can tell he set up a barrier.

"Ok." I shrugged. Then power walked into the entrance.
