The bell from school was ringing, and Hanna put her pen and book in her bag. He got up from his stool, about to catch up with the other students who scattered out of class. But before long, his steps were nailed to the doorway. The sight before him, made the ego within him shake violently. Something that hurt his heart.

He could see clearly how Matsuo smiled so sincerely at the girl who was now his lover. They look happy.

Hanna immediately shook her head noisily, what did she just think?! Hanna shouldn't care much about that. Then he took another step and soon passed Matsuo and his lover. His heart needs to be calm.

He arrived at the parking lot, looking for the whereabouts of his motorbike and immediately boarded it. Just putting on his helmet, suddenly a shower of rain fell on his body. He really did not expect the rain would become heavier than that, but soon the rain no longer touched his body. He looked up at the umbrella that was holding him.

"Down."

Hanna immediately turned to the person beside her, Matsuo. The man was already wet in various places, Hanna Reflex immediately came down and pointed the umbrella that was overshadowing him towards Matsuo. Matsuo held the umbrella.

"You're crazy! You can get sick, you idiot!" Hanna panic.

"I'm not weak like you." Matsuo sarcasm. The man pulled Hanna's arm and took her into his car.

"Deliver! I don't want to come with you, I've got a motor."

"You think rain like this won't harm a biker like you?" Matsuo was completely inexhaustible.

"Why do you care? Where's yourlover? Just take care of him!"

Hanna was about to turn around and leave, but again her arm was pulled strong until her body hit Matsuo's chest. Now, he was fixated on Matsuo's face that was so close to him. Even he forgot to think of his heart whose detachment might sound Matsuo.

"Lake in."

As hypnotized, Hanna finally opens Matsuo's car door and sits herself next to the man.

Both clothes were very wet. Matsuo glanced at Hanna who was just silent and stared sinisterly ahead of him. He looked at the back seat and picked up his thick jacket.

"...."

"Open your suit." As soon as Hanna glared at him, almost spraying some spicy words, Matsuo immediately thrust out his jacket. "Wear this!"

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, she then complied and grabbed the jacket.

"When I just saw you alone in front of the class with your lover. Where is he now?" Said Hanna, while wearing that thick jacket. Luckily, he could feel warmer than before.

"He was picked up by his father." Matsuo, while turning on the machine and taking them away from the school grounds. "Your laptop, you can take it tomorrow."

"Ck, then what am I going to school for?" Hanna asked in annoyance.

"I can drive you."

Hanna immediately turned her head and looked at Matsuo in disbelief, then she chuckled cynically, "I thought, you already hate me."

"I hate you, it's just pity. Don't be so confident."

The small smile that had previously framed Hanna's pretty look, now slowly disappeared. His heartbeat no longer rhymed, "I don't need pity."

"Hm, all I know is you're a weak girl. If you like Akihiko, why not reveal it first? In order for today, you don't have to ruin the happiness of others."

Hanna again laughed sarcastically, "You think what will happen to our Band if I do that? I'm not rash like you."

Matsuo still casually carried his car splitting the rain. He smiled slightly looking at the road that was not much through the vehicle, had almost entered the Hanna residential area.

"I know, we're both reckless. The difference is, I'm aware and you're not." The car he stopped when he got in front of Hanna's house, "You know what? Akihiko won't let hers just disappear. So, you don't have any chance."

"Oh yeah? You just don't know, I can make Akihiko let go of Aihara for nothing." Hanna approached and patted Matsuo on the shoulder slowly, "Thank you, and be careful on the way." The scales are right on Matsuo's earlobe. After that, he got out of his car and disappeared in the rain.

As much as she hates Hanna, Matsuo can't stop loving her. While Matsuo knows, Hanna will never reciprocate her feelings and will continue to pursue Akihiko. Both of them will stop when they are tired.

...****...

Aihara and Akihiko decide to return to Akihiko's residence. This was the first time he had visited there, so it was no wonder that Aihara was so agitated during the trip.

They got out of Akihiko's car with an umbrella overshadowing them both. The man who had a firm but beautiful face curve immediately linked his fingers between Aihara's fingers. He certainly understands, that his lover is now feeling nervous.

Akihiko drew a sincere smile, assuring Aihara that nothing bad will happen. "Let's just calm, there's only my mom and sister at home."

The girl immediately nodded and moved quickly into Akihiko's house before her second body was devoured by the rainwater.

"I'm afraid you're gonna get sick again, your shoulder's soaking wet." Said Aihara after entering Akihiko's house, she looked anxiously at Akihiko who was actually fine with her condition.

"I'm fine, Come on." He took Aihara to see his mother, "Mother, I'm home!"

"Mom's in the kitchen, Kio!"

"Just calm down," Akihiko chuckled with Aihara who was so nervous, it was very funny in her eyes.

A slash!

"Akh!!"

"You've been surrounded by criminals!!"

A boy suddenly bent his back until he bent down then pointed the toy sword at his neck. Suddenly, Aihara panicked to see that but did not know what to do.

"Hey! stop Yahiko! You don't see who's next to you, do you?!" Still with that position, Akihiko tried to bengun but his sister's body pressure was so strong.

"Who are you?" Yahiko asked cynically, making Aihara waver.

"A-i-"

"Aish!" With all his strength, Akihiko managed to counterattack Yahiko, and secure him in his armpits. "You should be polite to her."

"Aackh! Release, sis!! MOTHER, SISTER KIO BROUGHT A WOMAN!! THEY WANT TO DO SOMETHING!!"

What's?!

Both of them suddenly round their eyes, then Akihiko let go of his defense and shouted back, "Yahiko is a liar Mom!! don't believe!"

"Gosh, you guys are always making a fuss!!"

Unknowingly Aihara laughed softly, at least she could see the relationship of the adorable sisters in front of her. Akihiko who saw that was instantly misbehaved, he then pulled Aihara into the kitchen, ignoring his sister who was also following him in the same direction.

"Ah, my son has arrived! Here and-" Her mother woke up to the girl beside Akihiko, then smiled at her, "And who is this? Real pretty. Come sit down and eat together!"

Akihiko brought Aihara to sit next to him, and luckily the girl was already a little calmer.

"I'm Aihara, Kekasi-eh his friend-"

"He's my girlfriend, Mom." Akihiko said quickly, then smiled at Aihara. He thought the girl was calmer, but it was still that big.

"Your love is weird."

Gosh, it looks like Akihiko will sell her sister after this.
