Harue and I chilled in our apartment the next day. After I talked to Tracy I felt a wall was built between us. I was mad at her because she brought him up. And then she has the audacity to rub salt on the wound by telling me about how I left everything aside. She knows I don't regret any of it.

It was late in the afternoon and I was sorting out my schedule for next week. Harue was napping peacefully in my room. All day he had been energetic. We both had the day off from school so I took him to the park.

I began making dinner so that it would be ready when Harue woke up. Suddenly I get a call on my phone. The screen read 'Kougami'.

"Kougami? What's up?" I answer, putting my phone on speaker, while stirring the stew in the pot.

"I need you to come down to the address I'm gonna give you. It's a police station."

"What happened?" I ask turning of the stove and washing my hands quickly.

"Yuri Ondera was groped. I'm calling all of her teachers."

"Oh my god." I say in shock and disgust. "I'll make my way over there right now."

"Alright."

I put a lid on the half made stew and run to my room to put on a sweater and scarf. I accidentally wake Harue up.

"...Oba...?"

"Hey buddy." I walk over to the bed and stroke his hair. "I need to run out real quick. I'll call Aunt Fumiko and ask her to come over."

Once I'm all set I go next door only to find that no one was home.

"Haruna?" Fumiko answers when I call her.

"Fumi. Where are you right now?"

"Well... Yamato and I were out shopping and after we came to Long Island but..." Her voice dies out. "The police called Yamato and-"

"Yeah I know. I need to head out too. But, I don't want to leave Harue alone and I wouldn't want to take him with me...."

"Oh that's fine I'm on my way home right now. You can leave him in the apartment. I'll get there in about 5 minutes."

"Thank you Fumi, your a life saver" I sigh in relief.

"Oba?" Harue calls out. "Can I come with you?"

"Sorry hun. Not this time." I smile sadly. "You can watch TV while you wait for Fumi Oba okay?"

"Okay. I'll be waiting for you to come back Oba."

"Okay." I slip on my sneakers. I kiss his forehead at the entrance and walk out. "I'll be back."

I leave and head out to the police station. I still worried about Haru but when I arrived at the station I saw Ondera cry her eyes out through the window.

Yamato sat by her side trying to comfort her. Yuri clinged to his sweater clearly shaken.

Kougami looked up and noticed me stand outside. He let Ondera go and came out.

"Sorry I'm a bit late."

"No it's fine." He looks back at Ondera. "I can't believe this happened. Some men are just so-" he clenched his fists tightly.

"Yamato." I say his name for the first time aloud. I put a hand on his shoulder. "I know how you feel, but we have to have emotional stability right now, as the adults."

He looks up and stares at me. His strong determined gaze moved me a bit. "You're right."

"Ondera-san needs us right now." I say patting his back a few times. "Let's go."

He nods and we go inside.

I go to Ondera and give her a hug.

Her crying stops a little as she sat there in shock.

"It's okay now. You're safe." I whisper. "You're gonna be okay."

She cried a little bit harder but she returns the hug, seeking comfort. She almost seemed like Harue, the day I picked him up at the orphanage.

Yamato and I walked home together after Yuri's parents came to pick her up. We filled out some reports and so on.

It was already really late, midnight to be specific.

The cold was really getting to me. I shouldn't have worn this thin ass sweater. I shiver a bit and wrap my arms around myself.

"Cold?" Yamato asks me while laughing at my actions.

"Yeah..." I pout a bit at his laugher.

Suddenly I feel something warm around me. I look up and Yamato had an arm around me placing his jacket on my shoulders.

"Ah... You shouldn't-"

"Haruna." He says looked at me in the eye. "You shouldn't go out in thin clothes like that. You're setting a bad example as an adult."

"Wha-" My jaw drops as he laughs even harder than before. "I was being serious before ok!"

"That was the first time you called me by my first name." He composed himself again. "Can I call you Haruna from now on?"

I look away. "Sure I guess." I was still pouting.

"If that's your reaction." He tugs on my cheek.

"Owhh" I protest.

"I'll call you pouty!"

He lets go and walks ahead a little. "Thank you for earlier."

For a moment I thought his ears looked a little bit pink.

--------------

We got to the our building and walked in. A yummy smell wafted towards the entrance. We took off our shoes and went to the kitchen.

"Fumi I'm home~" I walk up to her and watch her cook. "Is this edible?"

"Yeah I don't want to die young." Yamato joins in.

"Wow. Excuse you." She scowls playfully and punches my arm.

"How's Harue?" I ask.

"Fast asleep. Although he really insisted on waiting for you."

Right on cue I hear the door from my room open. "Oba?"

"I'm home Harue."

He runs up to me for a hug and I lift him up. I give him a little peck on the cheek and he returns it. "Did you miss me?"

"Yeah! Me and Fumiko Oba where watching animal planet though."

"Yep and I told him about the zoo so you're gonna have to take him some day." Fumi nods.

"We can all go then." I smile looking over at Yamato.

"Harue ate already but I waited for you guys since I wasn't too hungry."

I put Haru back to sleep since it was way past his bedtime. Once he falls asleep I join Fumiko and Yamato for dinner.

"Thanks for the food." I begin eating. It was actually really good.

"This is really good, Fumi." I compliment her. "I don't think I'll die yet."

"Agreed." Yamato agrees.

"Well thanks, I guess...." She mumbles.

Once we finish our meal we sit and chat a bit, keeping our voices a bit low to not wake Harue.

They chatted away happily but then my suspicion of their marriage bubbled up inside of me once again. I thought that maybe now would be a perfect opportunity.

"Um...Kougam-"

"I thought you were gonna call me Yamato from now on?" He says smirking.

"Right..." I pause thinking maybe I should just drop it. Would it be nosy on my part? I kind of think that this concerns me though since I am part of the staff. Not only that but we are friends, I guess you can say I feel like a sense of betrayal. The mood isn't right to ask them though...

No. This is serious and if you keep it bottled up inside you'll start assuming stuff.

This might be my last and only chance.

I muster up the courage and go for it.

"Y-Yamato... Fumiko..the other day I spoke with Saeki through the phone." I start. "He thought that It was Fumiko who picked up the phone. And he began asking her questions."

"....And he mentioned something about your marriage being fake..."

"....." Fumiko looked down and Yamato tightened his fist again.

Yamato sighed and closed his eyes. “I guess I have no choice "I guess I have no choice but to tell you." He looks at me in the eye with a somewhat troubles expression.

"I’ll trust you, Haruna." His voice is clear and sincere. "Fumiko and I aren't married."

I smile. "Thank you for telling me the truth." I stand from my seat and bow.

I stand back up straight. “I’ll keep it a secret for now but in exchange…” My expression softens. “I want to hear the real reason as to why you’re doing this.”

“I-” Yamato looks worse than before.

“It doesn't have to be now, but even after it’s all over…”

“Alright. Thank you…” Now it’s his turn to bow.

“Raise your head.” I smile once more. “I am your friend. You can trust me!” I slap his back trying to lighten the mood.”

He looks a little taken back but then he reads my intentions. “Okay.” He says.

“Come on, let's shake on it.” I extend my hand.

He takes it and with a firm grip, the promise was made.

A/N: Hope you enjoyed! Also for those of you reading TOT (my "Dreamy Days In West Tokyo" fanfic) I think I might put that one on hold because all my attention and time is going into this one. The thing is, I left off on a cliff hanger lol.
