Jealousy!

“ What nonsense are you talking about now, Moriyama-Kun? “Sakura laughed it off as a joke, but his next statement stopped the laughter altogether. “ I wasn’t joking, Sakura. I was serious. Let’s go on a date, Sakura! “Stunned, Sakura gazed at him from head to toe. At that moment, he exclaimed, “ The best way to feel love is to experience it in person. This method is very effective and will give you further insight into your project. “Gasping in surprise, Sakura’s nerves calmed down and she was finally able to relax.“ You almost scared me, Moriyama-Kun. For a second there, I thought you were truly asking me out and not for my project. “ She exclaimed, relieved.Staring at her for a while, he exclaimed, “ So, do we have a date, then? ““ Yes, of course. “ She exclaimed before adding, “ Let’s plan things accordingly. ““ Let’s go after school! ““ Yes, let’s— “Stopping in the middle of her statement, she reacted. “ By after school, do you mean today? ““ Yes, that’s right. “ He nodded without an ounce of hesitation.In response, she asked, “ Does it have to be today? Why not tomorrow? “Pondering on the question, he exclaimed suddenly, “ Why? Doesn’t today work for you? Do you perhaps already have something planned? “—Remaining silent for a while, Sakura gasped and said, “ No, I don’t have anything planned. It was just short notice for me, that's all. “Grinning slightly, he exclaimed, “ Then, we have a date. See you after school, Sakura! “He waved slightly at her and left momentarily later.When he was no longer in sight, she internally thought, “ He took me by surprise just now. I was planning to sort things out with Kaito tonight. “Hours later, as soon as Sakura walked out of the classroom, Karasu Moriyama was waiting for her at the exit.“ Moriyama-Kun, what are you doing here? Did you need something? “ She exclaimed, confused.???“ Don’t tell me you’ve already forgotten about today? “ He exclaimed sternly and said, “ We have a date today. You haven’t forgotten about that, did you? “!!!Snapping back to her senses, Sakura exclaimed apologetically, “ Sorry, Moriyama-Kun. I had a lot on my mind just now. Of course I haven’t forgotten about the date. “Staring at her suspiciously, he exclaimed, “ It looks to me that someone is occupying all of your thoughts, Sakura. Am I wrong? “Laughing it off, she responded, “ No, it’s nothing like what you’re thinking. I’m just tired and nothing else. ““ Let’s not waste time and go on our date! “Walking past him, Karasu watched her silently without a word. Joining her, they walked out of the school premises.“ So, where should we go for our date? “ Sakura asked inquisitively to Karasu as an attempt to change the topic.Suddenly grabbing her hand out of the blue, he dragged her away. Sakura didn’t protect and simply followed him.Visiting lots of places, Sakura and Karasu were having a marvelous time together. At some point, he exclaimed, “ On a date, you enjoy yourself with the person you love. You enjoy being with that person and you wish for time to stop for the both of you. That’s what being in love feels like. “While he was explaining to Sakura the significance of love, Kaito suddenly flashed through her mind and she froze. Recalling their first encounter to their last, she internally thought, confused, “ Why am I thinking about Kaito at a time like this? I’m with Moriyama-Kun right now, so why is my mind wandering toward him? ““ Sakura, are you listening to me? ““ Huh? “Snapping back to her senses, Sakura was just about to refute when Karasu cut her in the middle. “ You had the same look from before. Were you thinking about someone else, Sakura? “Out of time to respond, a voice interpellated her from behind.“ Sakura? “Turning around at the voice, she was stunned to see Camille and the most shocking thing was that she wasn’t alone.“ Camille? “Advancing toward them, Sakura almost froze when she saw the person she was with. Glaring at him, she mumbled, “ Christopher? “???Confused, he asked, “ Sakura, do you know them? “Gasping, she answered, “ Yes. That’s Camille Green, my classmate and friend. “ She introduced Camille to Karasu.Glancing at the one beside him, she exclaimed, “ The one beside her is— “Not knowing how exactly she should introduce him, he suddenly spoke without warning. “ I’m Christopher, her boyfriend. “Camille and Sakura were stunned by the way he introduced himself to Karasu. Even more was Camille who was blushing uncontrollably.After the introductions, he asked curiously, “ And you are? “Introducing himself, he exclaimed, “ Karasu Moriyama and I’m the same as you. “?Confusing him a little, he continued, “ Just like you, I’m also on this date with my girlfriend. “Holding her close, he asked sternly, “ Isn’t that right, Sakura? “Screaming internally, Sakura didn’t know the proper way to respond as she looked down, embarrassed.Finding the situation awkward, Sakura wanted nothing more but to leave, but that wasn’t Christopher’s thought at all.“ As we’ve all met here by chance, why not stay together until the end of our dates? What do you all say? “Glancing at Sakura for her opinion on the matter, she strongly opposed the idea, signaling him to decline Christopher’s request, but—“ Why not? This could be fun. “ He beamed and Sakura sighed helplessly.“ Then, let’s go! “Following Christopher and Camille, the two were bought at a high-class restaurant. Gasping in amazement, Sakura exclaimed, “ We shouldn’t dine here. It’s too expensive. Let’s go someplace else. ““ No need to worry, my lady. I have everything covered, so we can dine at this restaurant without issues. “Sakura gasped even more when she saw Christopher holding a vip card in his hand.“ Any other excuses you might want to give, my lady? “—Out of excuses, they walked inside the high-class restaurant. From the moment they walked inside, Sakura couldn’t stop looking around in amazement.Sitting at the vip table, Sakura had no idea as to what to order when the waiter came to fetch their orders.Gasping at how expensive everything was, Sakura exclaimed, “ Could you order something for me, Moriyama-Kun? ““ Yes, sure. “ He beamed as he looked at the menu.Doing the same, he exclaimed, “ Could you order something for me as well, Lady Camille? I have to run to the bathroom. “Using the restroom as an excuse, he walked out from the table without a word, leaving Camille to also look for something to order for him in the menu.Returning to the table after ten minutes, Christopher seemed increasingly cheerful, raising Sakura’s immediate suspicion.“ What is he so happy about? “ She internally thought, staring at him suspiciously.Momentarily later, the waiter brought their order to the table.Gazing at her udon bowl, Sakura was out of place due to the expensive price.Feeling her hesitation, Christopher asked, “ Aren’t you going to eat, my lady? Is the food not to your taste? ““ Who said that? “Responding awkwardly, Sakura grabbed her baguette and as she was about to eat, she froze in place.“ Sakura, is something wrong? “Spotting Kaito from afar, he was advancing at their table. At that moment, Sakura’s baguette dropped to the ground.“ Sorry. I’ll pick them up. “Squatting herself a little to pick up the baguettes, Kaito reached the baguettes before she could.Sitting back properly, Kaito handed her the baguettes. “ Here you go, my lady! “Rewinding to half an hour before, Kaito had just gathered the ingredients for dinner when he received a telepathic message from Christopher.Communicating with him through his wave antenna, Kaito gasped. “ Sakura is on a date with a guy? ““ Whether you do something or not, I’ll leave it to you to decide, Kaito. “—Ending the communication, Kaito mumbled, “ That’s great. Sakura is finally enjoying the taste of life as she should. So, why should I run things for her? ““ If she’s happy with that guy, then I should congratulate her and wish her well. “ He mumbled, silently.“ That’s what I should do, so why is it that I can’t convince myself of the fact? “Recalling all their moments together since they’ve reunited, he mumbled, “ We’ve been separated for sixteen whole years that I’m not yet ready to let her go. Just a while longer until I’m ready to bid her goodbye for good. ““ Until then, I must remain by her side as her guardian angel. “Convincing himself, he teleported from the house to the restaurant. Standing before the restaurant, he transformed into a human.“ This should be good enough. I haven’t done this in a while. “Walking in, the people inside the restaurant were in amazement at Kaito’s handsomeness and beauty.Not paying them any mind, he gazed around for Sakura and the moment he found her, he felt a pang in his heart.“ What is this? Why is my heart hurting so much? “Rewinding to the present, Kaito handed the baguette to Sakura and exclaimed, “ Here you go, my lady! “Staring at him continuously, Sakura was lost in thought. That’s when Karasu picked the baguette from Kaito’s hand.“ Thanks for picking up the baguettes for my girlfriend. ““ His Girlfriend? “The moment he heard the word, “ Girlfriend” from Karasu’s lips, Kaito felt a pang in his heart once more. Glancing at Christopher, he saw the expression that was emanating from his face and gasped.Turning to leave, Sakura stood and suddenly held his shirt from behind.Glancing at Karasu, she exclaimed apologetically, “ Sorry, Moriyama-Kun. I hate to cut this date short, but I have to leave. Sorry! “—Not adding anything more, she dragged Kaito out of the restaurant. Delighted by how things turned out, Christopher enjoyed his meal delightfully to the misery of Karasu who had yet to grasp what just took place.“ Who was that guy? Why did he come here and take Sakura away? ““ I think you’re misunderstanding something, Karasu Moriyama. ““ What’s that? “In response, Christopher exclaimed, “ He didn’t take her away. It was the other way around. Lady Sakura Fambrose left with him. That must mean something, don’t you think? ““ What could it mean that she left alongside him? “Questioning Christopher, he responded, “ Her leaving with him means everything. She left with him because he’s precious to her. Because he means the world to her. Isn’t that obvious enough? “!!!Momentarily later, Christopher and Camille walked out of the restaurant.“ Let’s go home, Lady Camille! ““ You planned this, didn’t you? “Stopping, he asked, confused, “ What makes you think I’m behind whatever happened in there? “Answering truthfully, she exclaimed, “ If not for you, Angel Kaito wouldn’t have known where we were. Also, earlier, you left the table and returned shortly before he showed up. “Confronting him, she asked, “ Am I right to think you planned this, Angel Christopher? “—“ You found me out, my lady. What else can I say? “ He admitted.“ Why did you do it? “ She exclaimed. “ Do you mind telling me the reason, Angel Christopher? “—
