Present day - August 2nd, mid noon, right after the slap

" Why'd you hit me!?"

Shock is also considered to make them react that way. If you don't know what THAT WAY meant, read the book all over again......

Or just continue, you'll see.

Suzuha's personality battle compromised it's winners whenever Chris was around. The two parts of her soul take turns when he's around.

" You are hurting me, you know, Chris?" The Good Side immediately slammed him in a hug and started tearing up.

" You're an assh*le, you know?" The Bad Side took over and pummelled his shoulders. And let the tears fall out, still grasping a good hug, growing tighter......

Chris was confused with getting hugged and getting hit the next moment.

He should've been used to this.

He rubbed his shoulders, with a sigh; but one thing won't change.

He was drunk in pain. With a hint of guilt thrown into the mixture......

" I'm gonna visit the idiot next, wanna give this guy company?"

Suzuha flinched a bit.

" I'm not gonna leave you one more second, hearing what you were about to do" Suzuha yanked the back of his hair and gave him a sisterly kiss, ensuring him she's gonna protect him.

At all costs...

*****

Ding Dong!

" One second! I'm naked!" A voice resonated from inside, already starting to go well out of its way to annoy Chris.

"Oh, god" Suzuha put her palms to her mouth, shocked from his reply.

Chris just looked disappointed.

After a few silent moments, Nakarugi peeked his head out with nothing but a sheet covering his slender, manly body. He looked at Suzuha with a look of solid perversion and when he moved his eyeballs to his left, he was perplexed.

" BRO!!" He put his hands in the air and hugged Chris, forgetting he was holding the sheet, causing it to fall, later accompanied by Suzuha's paralysis inducing scream.

*slap

*****

" Well then, what brings you here, to this humble abode?" Nakarugi looked at Chris, holding an ice pack to his reddened face.

" For heavens sake, put on some pants!" Suzuha yelled at him, her eyes closed and her cheeks deep scarlet, subsequently throwing all her hands reached at Matsuki.

He removed himself from the room with a exceptional expression of sadness and betrayal.

" Of all the people to say this...." Chris thankfully didn't hear this.

" You're one of the only few, second to-" Chris paused, clearly hurt by thinking of her. He continued after an abrupt pause. " Who is family to me; here, at least"

" Uh uh" Nakarugi mumbled from behind the door, changing outfits from a flimsy sheet to some pants.

" So I guess it'd be common sense to visit you"

" But I guess Suzu came first. Before your bestie" He sounded hurt.

His half head peaking through curtains made sure of that.

" Suzu?"

He poked his eyes out again with a death stare and grinned.

" We're dating dude" He purposely said it in Japanese.

It took a while for him to process that fact. And while halfway, he mumbled this.

" That explains why you looked at her like that bef-"

Chris paused mid sentence, not grasping the words he had said.

Processing had done by the time it happened.....

He whipped his head back and forth for a couple times. Suzuha blushed. Nakarugi came and took hold of Suzuha's hand and gave her a kiss, still without anything covering his upper body.

On the lips......

Chris had to watch this in horror fixated on his face as Nakarugi started sucking the oxygen out of Suzuha and stopped only after she pushed him out, clearly enjoying the experience.

" Stop" She said in a playful way.

Chris was about to puke.

" How'd you two end up together?" Chris asked, covering his mouth with his hands, clearly shocked to his core by the act done before him.

Mostly to stop puking.

" You don't wanna know, trust me"

Chris did. And asked no more.

" Psst" Suzuha dragged Nakarugi in and told him Chris's supposed threat to himself while he was contemplating whether to reduce the time before his death from a week to right then.

She found him putting his index on her lips and said with the most determined expression she ever saw on his face.

" Leave it to me"

He turned a full 180 degree and hollered at Chris," So, now that you're back, lezz goh eet!"
