CHAPTER 15 : It fits perfectly!

His annoyed gaze softens as he listens to her laugh. Her smile, laugh, naughty tease even her angry expression entice him all the time. It's really confused him how her existence can be affected like this. Now, if he looks at any sweet, it will remind him of her. If he enters his office he will remember her angry face stormed out. When he looks at his employee wearing yellow or any hint of yellow, she always comes to his mind. It just likes him being haunted by her. It is really outrageous. Sometimes he wondered if he has gone mad.

"Joke aside, I will keep my promise. So, do you have a girlfriend?" she pries even though she knows the answer. In the report of Touma, there is no indication point to any girls but it surely didn't hurt to be sure. If there is anyone comes between Touma and her, she should be prepared. It would not be good if rumours start circling about the Hinode only daughter is a homewrecker or worst assume as a mistress. She is everything but a slut. She refused to let people believe in that.

"Are you scared of competition?" he never let any chance to taunting her. This opportunity rarely comes. He obviously will grab it if it is offered on the table.

"I'm not scared of any competitors but I pity them"

"Wow, I truly admired your confidence and I don't have any girlfriends."

"Why?"

"None of them interest me"

"How about me?" she blinked her eyes at Touma a few time with her cheeky smile on her face again.

"...." Any topic there conversed, always back to her. He really didn't understand how she able to do that every single time.

Realized Touma wouldn't reply her, she just let it go.

"Day by day, as I get to know you, my feeling for you is getting stronger. If anything happens between us, you would always consider as my friend. I didn't know what is the future holds for us but I wish for the best." she sincerely meant every word she said. At first it just an attraction to him but she honestly admired him more she gets to know him. He is a tactical, calculated and visionary person but he also gentle, funny and most of all, he always prioritizes others before him. Power is the main thing you need to fight for if you in yakuza family. There is no room for a weakling. Powers protect everything but deep down there still a normal human being who needs love. When they are choosing love instead of power, love will consider and used as their weakness. This is the reality people often didn't see in their life.

"Thank you, Kahina. I'll appreciate that." he really touch and grateful with Kahina words. Now he needs to plan to keep this relationship protected from his father.

"It is late. Let go home." if she is given an option, she really want to continues to spend time with Touma but it is okay. She still has tomorrow.

They walk out of the room, they amble side by side to the sukiya gate both of them tried to slow the time but Kahina will not let tonight go with anything. She slowly reached Touma hand as if nothing. He really surprises with Kahina boldness and immediately he tried to retract his hand but Kahina refuses to let it go.

"Woman, that is really inappropriate of you to take advantage pure man like me," he warns her.

"Yes, yes, you are so pure so I need to teach you a thing or two about wooing me," she shamelessly answered him.

"...." he totally speechless and let his hand be held by Kahina. He didn't really dislike it but the discomfort from his uncontrollably beating heart confuses him more. 'Come on the heart! Calm down! She just holds his hand not taken his chastity.' he told himself. Her hand is so soft and gentle. It is not too small either too big, it fits his hand perfectly. He unconsciously let a slight smile out.

Kahina wants to jump happily when he gives up on claiming his hand. She knows Touma starting to accept her. Maybe not yet love but at least she meant something to him. She felt really safe in Touma's hand and she couldn't help but wonder how it feels in his embrace. A naughty taught start to sneak in make her naughty smile appeared. 'Argghhh, stop Kahina. Stop!" she needs to stop thinking about it, it is not yet the time!

Tips ears of both of them start to redden and they didn't say a word until they reach sukiya. Both Ando and Ken are already waiting for them. Upon seeing them, Ando and Ken couldn't help but admire their compatibility and the beauty they have shown. With them standing side by side, holding hands... Wait! Holding hands????????!!!!!! They already holding hands?????

Ando and Ken are nearly pop out their eyes looking to the occasion in front of them. 'This is too fast! They just know each other for a week.' Ando question himself while Ken thought differently, 'Young mistress is so cool. Fast and efficient!' Ken is really proud of her.
