CHAPTER SEVEN- *QUIZZICAL ROUSE*

Page 61- _Dark Rintaro!_

Black beautiful eyes reflected by her phone, _miss perfect_ unexpectedly rose to a quick stand. Alert and out the window, charged everyone's head, hesitant of the worry painted on her face. Stiff shoulders and tensely raised ears, each led reaction to the temporary atmosphere.

Sakae.... _Oh sorry for making the face again, it's not something serious. Since our meeting today was about establishing a foundation for the joint exhibition, i'd say we're past that, regardless of wasted time. Tomorrow we'll need a pair of hands to go buy materials, certainly fit for decorating a classy restaurant. We're counting on Takahiro to deal with the budget, and you Rin to research ideal decor. Unfortunately my time's up since the driver has arrived. I'll see you all tomorrow same time._

She turned to leave alongside her best companion.

Koshiro.... _Thank you for your work! See you tomorrow lady Haruno and Sir Hiro!~_

Offering his back to the room, her majesty's knight dashed out, propelled by obligatory speed downstairs. Awkwardness reigned back in the quiet room, two familiar yet unfamiliar faces exchanging diffident twiddled thumbs. Realizing they rarely lifted a conversation without Hiro flirting, Haruno stumbled upon a thick wall, dealing quite the strain to broach a topic.

       'I guess it's time to go," she pitifully attempted a clinger, her efforts rewarded with painful silence.

Whether a haze, down memory lane, or something else, Akamaru froze staring into his mirrored self on the table. Like before, he was zoned out, capping Rin with amplified concern. Art of the assassin upfront, she stealthily snuck up to tap his shoulders.

Takahiro.... _Aaah!! What!?, what!?, uhh..., it's you. Sorry._

Rintarõ.... _Hiro.., are you ok?!_

Takahiro.... _Yeah i'm fine, anyway, where are the others?_

Rintarõ.... _What?, they left minutes ago. Are you really doing ok?_

Takahiro.... _I'm one hundred percent ok. I was just thinking about Meru, the look she gave me when we left was like, 'If you don't come back in 30 minutes, i'll dump you"._

Unknowingly, the prince declared a confession, exiling Rin seconds in the past.

      'He's been spacing out because of Ai, he must truly love him".

Rintarõ.... _I'd have told you not to worry 'cause my friend's an idiot in love, but it'd be a waste to see that look on your face melt away._

Takahiro.... _Ha ha very funny, i could say the same about you. You can no longer hang around Keisuke because of your stalker. Yeah he understands, but i'm pretty sure he's bottling up anger and sadness by the end of the day._

Consistent with the passing moment, a new reality crossed Rin's mind. She probably hadn't thought about it, but Senami was desperately hiding from his real emotions. Expecting a laughable voice or joke, Hiro felt the chilly chuckle of lamenting peace and a bleak flash.
