And so, after a very long conversation, Akira, Kai and Hina decided to finally go to sleep to have some rest.
They talked about a lot of things, from the future festival to structure of the Kobayashi Dragons.
Akira even told Kai a small glimpse of her past as a soldier in the army.
The young man kept listening carefully to her words, looking intrigued and interested about her story.
"So, you're basically telling me that you were the best sniper in the army?" Kai asked, with a glimpse of enthusiasm and curiosity.
Akira nodded her head proudly and sadly at the same time.
"Yeah… I was, exactly." She said with a sigh while leaning her back towards the wall.
"Then, the perfect Akira that had the dream of defeating the evil became a totally different person. She literally joined the dark side." She said, while remembering the old times.
Then, she moved her gaze towards Hina, who was still listening despite she already knew the story.
She was holding her boyfriend's arm tightly.
Akira was not used to see such a sweet side of Hina.
Despite their close but unknown bond, Akira had never seen sweet things like these coming from her "sister".
"But I'm lucky, in a certain way." Akira said while smiling at Hina.
That was a very sweet thing to say.
The fact that Akira even "betrayed" her own clan could be also considered as a proof of her love towards Hina.
Words after words, the tiredness from the day started to arrive and they eventually needed a rest.
Luckily, Kai had a guest room upstairs, close to his.
It was the only place where Akira could sleep.
More than that, she would've been close to him, just in case of emergency.
Hina, on the other hand, decided to sleep with her beloved boyfriend, in the same bed.
It wasn't an easy situation, but it was the most logical.
"I'm going to take a shower." Akira said while looking at Kai in the eyes with a mischievous tone. "Don't come peeking at your big sis, okay?~" she said while blinking her eye to him.
"I'm pretty sure that he won't. Kai is very respectful." Hina said with a smile, while tigrhetning the grip on his arm.
She literally said "he cares about his life, and wouldn't want to go against certain death."
Kai couldn't anything else than silently accept his fate.
Akira laughed mischievously after hearing her sister's reaction.
"Who knows~ he's still a young boy." Akira whispered in an almost "sensual" voice, with her eyes becoming more sharper.
Hina's grip on Kai's arm become even tighter and she smiled maliciously at her sister.
Her expression was literally telling her "I'll kill you."
"Didn't you say that you're tired? Go now." Hina said with a sharp tone of voice.
Kai couldn't help but sigh at the cliched situation.
Akira then let out a small giggle and then said : "I didn't say I was tired, but I'll go. Good night!" She said, before giving another quick glance to Kai and leaving the room.
Well, Hina already said that Akira was into younger boys and that she always liked to tease them.
And that's probably the reason of why she didn't assault her for teasing Kai right in front of her.
Deep down, despite her jealous and possessive side, Hina knew that Akira didn't have any bad intentions.
Then, only the two lovers remained in the kitchen.
Alone with each other's company.
Hina released her grip on her arm before looking at him with a small pout on her face.
She then leaned closer to him and stopped when her face was one inch from him, like she was expecting something.
Her eyes were locked in his.
So many things happened that Kai didn't even realize what his girlfriend wanted from him.
He was too tired to think.
"What is it, Hina?" Kai asked, with a calming and almost confused tone.
Hina's pout intensified before sighing.
"Nothing." Hina said with a disappointed sigh, before taking some distance from him and standing up.
She was clearly expecting some affection from him.
"Let's go sleep… we have a lot of things to do tomorrow." Hina said, while offering her hand to Kai.
Kai smiled and grabbed her hand after standing up from the chair.
"I think we should." Kai said before stretching his arms and yawning.
Then, they both walked into his room, his refuge from the world he was living.
The only sound in the house were their footsteps and the sound of the shower coming from the bathroom.
When they entered , Kai switched the light on and took some steps inside.
He then took a look at everything and noticed that everything was perfectly in order.
Everything was in the right place.
More than that, he also started to wonder where Hiro's journal was.
It was probably in a hidden place in his room.
But there was no need to read it.
He had all the answers he needed for the moment.
But… he didn't notice a specific information on it.
"Shall we sleep now, darling? Or would you like to… do something else?" Hina whispered in his ear with a very "lustful voice".
Kai shivered and felt a big wave of heat embracing his heart rapidly.
He clearly didn't expect such a turn of events, considering the fact that Akira was sleeping in the room next to theirs.
