Kamine charges towards him as she shouted " Minamino Shuichi!!!!" He sweatdrops " hai... ? Kamine. "

Kamine : this is all your fault !!!

He sweatdrops " eh ? "

Kamine : if it wasn't you that arina-chan liked, wasn't you who is so perfect, wasn't you who I so approve of... Ahhh !!! I wouldn't have to be so tired ?

Kurama : huh?

Kamine : I had to go out four days in a week for two weeks already. All cos I don't want that bad guy be alone with Arina !! It's all cos of you !! Do something !! She's your girlfriend! Not mine.

Kurama : gomen. Irumi still finds her ?

Kamine : hmph. He uses the new science competition as an excuse to see her more often nowadays !! Do something !!

Kurama ; Arina didn't tell me that.

Rare. A normal human who doesn't find my stare intimidating. Or maybe he's just brave ?

Arina exited from Dateko High and sees Kurama at the the gate. She walks towards him " Shuichi. Why are you here ?"

Kurama : I heard about the science competition from kamine. So I wanted to come pick you up.

Arina : arigatou! Ah... I forgot to tell you. I am working with irumi... Are you angry... ? Kamine said you don't like him...

Kurama : She's telling you weird things again isn't she ?

Arina ; she said, lovers all hate rivals. It's definite.

He sweatdrops " you need to stop listening to her nonsense. "

Arina : eh ? It's nonsense ?

Kurama : hai. Let's go.

Not all though. I better be cautious of him.

Rikame : I'm going back to Dateko High.

Kurama : why are you telling me ?

Rikame : you're the first man I haven't been able to capture his heart. I'll remember you.

Kurama: No, please don't. Plus, maybe it's because all those guys you targeted, you knew they don't actually truly love someone.

Rikame : .... Maybe. I'm going. Be careful of irumi. Though he's not like me, he's very sincere. Against you, it's hard to say.

Irumi : Arina.

Arina : huh ?

Irumi : it's the first time I'm calling you that. You'll let me ? *Kisses a spot on the back of neck*

Arina : Ahh !!! You shocked me ! What are you doing ?!!

Irumi : Arina. I'm serious about you. I've never stopped my advances on you. I'm just patiently waiting for you to accept.

Arina : I can't.

Irumi : why ? For that Minamino Shuichi? He's bad for you. All he does is use you.

Arina : he doesn't use me.

Irumi : you just can't see it. He wants your attention but yet he doesn't announces the relationship. I'm not like him . I can't wait to tell the world.

" marriage..." She blurted out.

Irumi : that's right. We can get married after our studies.

Arina sighs " you're very persistent." She goes to close the door " I'm not human. " She summons her Black Table and her black scalpals " see. " She makes the scalpal slice a table into half " I'm a yokai. "

Irumi gulps down his saliva as he was a bit scared of something he has never seen before " it's ... It's ok. I love you arina !!"

Arina ; do you know what yokais eat. True, some of us can eat human food too without problem. But that isn't our main diet. Our main diet... Is other yokais... And ... Humans.

Irumi : Minamino is a human. He's fine !!

Arina: ah...

Can't tell him, he's wrong. Crap. Dumb Arina !! Silly Arina!!

Arina: he's different.

Irumi: how different?! I... I don't mind if I became your food !!!

Arina : huh...? Are you crazy?!

Irumi: I believe a day will come where you won't want to eat me. You'll be scared to eat me, because then I'll be gone.

Arina: based on what ? You're a bit crazy irumi. Stop it.

Irumi : based on that I can give you whatever you want as long as it's in my means !!! Even my life!!

She was shocked and touched. No one ever said something like that to her. To offer their everything to her.

Arina : I'm not worth it.

Irumi ; you are !!! To me. I want to simply see you smile and be happy.

Arina: you're... Crazy.
