“Kaori, what’s wrong with you? You look different than usual today.” Say Mirai.

“Mirai, he had been released. He will take revenge at me.” Say Kaori.

“Who do you mean? Nakamura Hayato?” ask Mirai.

“Yes. He wants to pay back what I have done to him.” Say Kaori.

“You can ask police for protection.” Say Mirai.

“No, it will attract others attention and affect my job. I don’t want to lose my job.” Say Kaori.

“Mama, when Yuto will be home today?” Kaori ask Mrs. Nakajima.

“He says to me that he will try to get home early today.” Say Mrs. Nakajima and she go out from the room.

“Why you ask about him to Obasan?” ask Mirai.

“I’m scare if he meet Hayato.” Say Kaori.

“He must be with his band-mate. You only have to worry about yourself.” Say Mirai.

Kaori can’t say anything because she really worries about Yuto’s safety. At that night, she goes out to accompany Yuto to find his things. She totally forgot her worry at that time.

“Hey, how about you try this shirt?” say Yuto as his show a weird t-shirt.

“It’s not my style and taste. Hey, let me do my work as your assistant. I want to choose outfits for you.” Say Kaori.

Kaori choose a few clothes and give to Yuto to try in fitting room. She had read fashion magazine and plans several outfits for him. After few minutes, Yuto get out from fitting room.

“Wow, I sure after this many girls will go ‘kya’ at you.” Say Kaori.

“Really? I will buy this. Don’t get jealous if I get girlfriend at that time.” Say Yuto.

“I’m only your assistant not your girlfriend. I only do my proper job.” Say Kaori. She knows someone have followed them when they get into the boutique.

“I just reading fashion magazine and plan what suitable with him.” Say Kaori.

“It’s must be really tired become Yuto-kun’s assistant. I hope you don’t push yourself too hard.” Say Chinen as she holds Kaori’s hand.

“It’s okay. I’m really happy with my job. You guys always cheer me up.” Say Kaori.

“Chi-chan, you don’t have to hold her hand like that too long.” Say Yuto as she pulls Kaori’s hand away from Chinen’s hand.

************************************

“Ah, why more guys get near to her? It just spoilt my chances to get rid of her.” Say Hayato.

He try to wait her to be alone but he sees she gets into a car and leaves the place. He doesn’t have any choose than go back home and create new plan.

When they reach at Nakajima’s house, both of them thank Yuya. After Yuya gone, they get into the house.

“Tadaima.” Say Yuto.

“Okaeri, nii-chan, nee-chan.” Say Raiya. He pulls Kaori’s hand to go to living room.

“Nee-chan, can you help with my homework? I don’t understand how to do It.” Say Raiya.

“I will help you but let me change my clothes first. Then, we do our homework together.” Say Kaori. She goes up to change her clothes.

Kaori go to living room and see Yuto also there, doing his homework. She get a seat near Raiya and begin help him in his homework.

“I thought you already in your bed. You say you really tired.” Say Kaori.

“Suddenly, I want to do my homework before go to bed.” Say Yuto.

They do their homework until Raiya fall asleep at the table. Kaori collect their things while Yuto cuddle Raiya and bring to his bed. Kaori put Raiya’s things on his table.

After that, she give Yuto’s things to him, “Here’s your things. Oyasumi.”

“Can you follow me to practice tomorrow and I want your bento.” Yuto say and he go into his room.

Kaori just get into her room to get good night rest. The next morning, she gets up early to prepare bento for her and Yuto. After that, she goes to Yuto’s room to wake him up.

“Yuto-kun, wake up. Today, you have practice with others.” Say Kaori but Yuto still sleeping.

Kaori go to Yuto’s drum set. She always watches Yuto practice with it and she remember several moves. She begins play with it until Yuto gets up.

“Urusai. Eh, how you know to play that?” ask Yuto.

“I like remember anything. Now, get up because you still have practice. I already make you bento but if you don’t get up, I will give it to Yabu-kun.” Say Kaori and she get out from the room.

When the van reaches at in front of the house, Yuto pull Kaori into the van. He doesn’t release Kaori’s hand until Kaori do it by herself.

“We almost make them waiting for us.” Say Yuto.

“It’s your fault. I already wake you up early but you really like to in the blanket.” Say Kaori.

“This is his first time ‘almost late’. What you do last night?” ask Yamada.

“I’m doing homework with Kaori and Raiya. I don’t know why I join them last night.” Say Yuto.

When they reach at the place, all HSJ go to dressing room while Kaori find Johnny to discuss something. She go to a room that she always use when she want to see him.

“Kaori-chan, how are you today?” say Johnny when he see her.

“I have bad news, Johnny-san. I need to discuss something with you again.” Say Kaori.

“Eh, where’s Kaori?” ask Yuto.

“Maybe she goes to see Johnny-san. He always want to see her if he knows she’s here.” Say Yabu.

“Yuto-kun, this is for you. Your assistant gives this to send to you.” Say one of his junior, Fuma.

“You meet her just now? Where’s she?” ask Yuto.

“She goes to guest room. Johnny-san also in there. Maybe they want to discuss something because Johnny-san forbidden us to get into there.” Say Fuma.

“Why you’re so worry about her, Yuto-kun?” ask Kei.

“She acts weird lately. She doesn’t tell me what happen but I know something disturb her.” Say Yuto.

“Maybe she still worries about her cousin in Okinawa. You know that they really close and this is first time they go separate way.” Say Yamada.

“I hope so.” Say Yuto.

***********************************

“It’s not your fault, you only help the police to catch him.” Say Johnny after he hears her problem.

“But I will danger his life and others. Johnny-san let me resign from this work. It for your safety.” Say Kaori.

“I will not allow it. You have done a great job and I’m sure he would not agree with it too.” Say Johnny.

“But, I will…” Kaori can’t finish his words.

“We will decide about it later. Right now, you have to support him for next upcoming concert.” Say Johnny.

“Yes. I understand it.” She says.

“You can go see their practice or just relax at here.” Say Johnny as he leaves the room.

She only sit at the room and read the magazines provided. She wants to tell Yuto the truth but Johnny wants her to keep it as a secret. She read magazines until her fall asleep and she dream that Yuto being stab by Hayato’s knife.

She screams and wakes up. She sees Yuto at her side and she quickly hugs Yuto. Yuto can feel her scared. So, he tries to calm her down. He know she scare, same as the night she lock herself in her room.

After a few minute, Yuto bring Kaori to the practice room. He make Kaori sit in front of him and play drums together. He wants Kaori to forget the nightmare.

One night, she calls Ryu to tell him about it and Ryu say, “If you want to come here, tell me. I will fetch you to here.”

“I will go there if something happen here.” Say Kaori.

*******************************

After the last day concert, Yuto decide to bring Kaori to her favorite restaurant. He wants to celebrate it with her.

“Hey, you better save your money that you use here for your future.” Say Kaori.

“It just for this time. I really want to celebrate it with you.” Say Yuto.

“It’s just excuses. You only want to eat at here, right?” say Kaori.

Yuto only smile at her. They enjoy their time at there but they never know that night will change everything in their life. When they go out from the restaurant, Kaori get call from someone.

“Kaori, if you still care about your friend, come to the port we used to go. Your friend’s life in my hand.” Say Hayato.

“What you have done to Mirai?” ask Kaori.

“If you want to know, come here and see how your friend’s condition.” Say Hayato and he hung the call.

“Yuto, can you go back first? I have other things to do.” Say Kaori.

“No. I will go with you.” Say Yuto.

“Yuto, it’s very dangerous for you if you follow me. I have to go there alone. I don’t want you to…” she can’t finish it.

“You don’t have to worry about me.” Say Yuto.

“I’m going to see a very dangerous person. He doesn’t scare to kill some he hate. I don’t want he know who you are.” Say Kaori.

“What do you mean by that?” ask Yuto.

“Johnny-san wants me to keep it as a secret but I only can tell you that the person I’m going to see was my ex-boyfriend and he related to my past-life.” Say Kaori.

“I will follow you if you deny me.” Say Yuto.

*******************************

Hayato wait at the port while playing his knife. Not far from him, Mirai sit sacredly. She blames herself for become careless while walking in Empty Street.

“Don’t worry, Mirai. Your friend will be here and I will release you. She willing to come to me for me ends her life.” Say Hayato.

******************************

After several minutes, he sees Kaori go towards him. He doesn’t see Yuto because Kaori already warned him to hide at one place. She goes towards him with no scared feeling in her.

“Wow, you really brave to come here alone. Ready to face the death?” say Hayato.

“You really like to play dirt, Hayato. Mirai doesn’t involve in this problem.” Say Kaori.

“If I don’t involve her in our problem, you will always escape from me.” say Hayato.

Yuto look both of them from hidden place. He really worries with Kaori. He wants to help her but she said that he have to hide from the guy. Suddenly, he sees Hayato beat Kaori and Kaori try to avoid it but she failed most of the time.

Suddenly, he see Hayato take out his knife and go near Kaori who lie down and try to overcome her pains. Hayato try to stab her but Yuto quickly go to cover Kaori from Hayato’s knife.

“Yuto!!!” scream Kaori when she see Yuto have been stab by Hayato’s knife and fall with bleeding wounds.

Hayato want to stab Kaori again but the police have arrived and arrest him. He tries to escape but it too late for him.

“It’s good that you’re safe, Kaori.” Say Yuto as he touches her face with his hand-ridden blood. After that, he loses his conscious and he could hear Kaori’s scream.
