Chapter 71

The bright sunlight that's beamed through the window gently creased my face. I slowly lift my heavy eyelids and notice that I was tucked on the couch with a warm blanket.

'Mmm...Damn, this blanket smells like Touma-san...'I silently think to myself as I greedily sniffed the blanket like a complete weirdo.

''Wait, why am I not home yet?'' My eyes was open wide after I realise that I was not on my room where I suppose to be.

I jump up from the couch and stare at my phone. My eyes popped out and almost fall to the floor when I realised it's already morning.

''It's already 7 in the morning?! You got to be kidding me!!''

''Yo hey morning pancake!'' I heard Touma greeted me from the kitchen.

I quickly head towards the kitchen and saw the both of them was preparing breakfast. Yuuto was wearing his uniform and he looked serious cutting the carrot while Touma smiled at me. He was holding a frying pan on his right hand and was about to fry some eggs.

''Why don't you go and take a quick wash in the bathroom?'' Touma suggested as he swiftly cracks the egg and fries it in the pan all in one motion.

''Morning, Miyu-chan.'' Yuuto smiled at me after he notices that I was behind him.

The nice smell from the pan instantly eased my frustration in a split second. I then take a peak from Touma's waist. The sound of the sizzling pan was so nostalgic since I use to hear my mother always make the same sound in the kitchen very morning.

"Whao....." I could feel myself was drooling for the scrambled egg as my stomach was roaring louder then Mrs Suzuki was she was mad at us.

''Pfft!! Are you that hungry, Pancake? I thought that you have the dinner more than mine last night.'' Touma teased me while he patted my head that's popping out underneath his arm.

''Eh-EHH?! I was not that hungry o-or anything!'' My face burned in embarrassment after being teased by him.

Suddenly, a strong arm grabbed me by the waist backwards away from him. I turn my head around and saw it was Yuuto who was holding me right now. That red-haired boy's green eyes were burning in range as his eyebrows crashed into each other.

''Miyu-chan, why don't you just wash your face while wait us prepared the breakfast? You will delay him if you keep on clinging on him. And wear your uniform back, don't wear this ugly shirt any longer.'' He said in a demanding tone.

I suddenly feel so small in his arm as if I was a timid little mouse in a lion dean. So, I decided to do what he said after he let go of my waist from his firm grip.

''Y-Yes, I will! Right away, Sir!''

''Now, that's my good girl.'' Yuuto's face once again was filled with gentleness as he patted my head.

***

''Whoa! Your face flipped faster than I flip open my boring love letter that I get almost every day. In the end, it will be placed in the trash anyways.'' Touma teased Yuuto after Miyu had shut the bathroom door behind loudly.

''That's none of your business to care about.'' Yuuto coldly replied to him.

''Ouchie...You are so cold towards me, Mr Killer...I was offended.'' Touma mocked at him as he toss the pancake upside down.

''You know... I don't like it when I see you being so close with her....'' Touma then poked the pancake gently with the wooden spatula.

''Well since that the both of you were childhood friends, there's not much I can't do about it.'' The majestic purple eyes take a peek of Yuuto from the corner of his eyes.

''What if we make a bet? The one that can eliminate that bitches without getting caught will win.'' Touma said as he places the cooked pancake into the plate.

''And what if one of us get caught?'' Yuuto shoots him a powerful glare.

Touma turns around and faces him while he turns off the gas stove.

''Well... it's game over.''

''Interesting...'' Yuuto smirked.

***

''Thank you for the food!!'' I clapped my both hand after I had finished the breakfast they make.

''Ah, I have been dying to ask this question since I was in the kitchen with you guys!'' All of a sudden I remembered the thought that have been lingering around my mind but I keeps on forgetting about it.

''Why we are still here when we are supposed to go back home last night?''

''I guess we both were asleep on the couch last night and that's why we both end up spending the night at Touma's house." Yuuto explained calmly.

''Phew, thank goodness it was weekend today. If it was a school day, I might freak out and end up getting a panic attack." I let out relieves sigh.

''Oh yea, thank for letting us stay and dry our clothes, Touma-san.''

''No problem.'' Touma smiled at me.

''I think we should be heading home right now.'' Yuuto get up and went to wash his plates.

''Wo-Wokay...'' I follow behind him after I had clean up the mess I make on the table.

After we have cleaned our dish, Yuuto carried my bag together with his and eagerly wanted to head home. I guess maybe he was worry that he might get scold from his mother for not coming back home last night. Well, I don't have to worry that much because I know that my parents will understand if I say I was at my friend's house.

''See you later, Pancake and 'Prince Charming'.'' Touma waves us goodbye.

''See you later, Touma-san.'' I smiled at him while Yuuto just raises his middle finger up towards him.

'I assume that boy was on a different level of goodbye, huh?' I shake my head.

***

''W-What happen?'' My eye widens as soon as I saw my house was surrounded by some news reporter and police cars. There's also an ambulance in front of my house.

''Yuu-Yuuto-kun, what happens? Why were they are all here?'' I hold his hand tightly each time I was one step closer to my own house. My heart was pounding out of my chest after I saw that's some medic rescuer hurry into my house.

''I-I don't know...'' Yuuto's green eyes widen in worry as he looked at me in confusion.

Soon, I saw Miss Kinoshita was there in front of my house and our eyes meets by accident. Then I heard the crowd of strangers was murmuring something to each other.

''I heard that the both of the husband and wife was killed last night but from what I heard, their daughter was not at the house when the murdering happen.''

''Was it? Their daughter must've been so lucky or else she might be murdered too....''

Those words leaves me speechless after hearing that my parents have been killed. Without thinking much, I try to go into my house but I was grabbed by Yuuto. He gives me a frown while he hold onto my hand tightly. Miss Kinoshita went in front of me saying,

''Miyu-san, you can't go in right now?'' Miss Kinoshita using her body to block me from entering the door.

''Miss, please tell me what is happening right now?!'' My hand trembled as I desperately trying to get through her.

"Miyu-san...I am sorry....your parents are gone..."
