"Shihou! Do you even know why Hikari was pulled into this?" Keisuke asks.
"I think I have an idea...."
~~~•••~~~•••~~~•••~~~
Shihou finally decided to go to school. His breakup with Mayumi seriously affected him so much. But right now, he needs to meet a certain someone who set him up to be in this mess he's in right now.
He's been looking for him for a while now, and finally, he saw him, with a lot of people surrounding him, they're congratulating him on something. He guesses it's about the engagement he meticulously planned to acquire; Shihou felt bad falling into his trap.
That was just his guess; he is still unsure if it's the engagement. So when he asked one of the passersby, the only feeling he felt hearing their answer was rage. Just as he thought he was right all along, he began to walk or, more precisely, run to Tennou quickly. He does something much to the surprise of the whole school. To be specific, it was something they did not imagine Isami Shihou would do. The students were surprised to see him punch Miya Tennou in the face.
"You! You plan all of this!" Shihou said, seething with rage. Tennou only looks at him with a smirk on his face.
"Oh, so you already heard the news, birdy? But why are you congratulating me like this? How rude!" he said with a playful tone, teasing Shihou, and it only made the boy madder than he already was.
"You plan all of this and drag her into this mess! Your disgusting!" Tennou's smirk only grew wider at his statement. He doesn't want Hikari to be dragged along his plan, but he doesn't have a choice; it's for the greater good.
"Don't tell me... Do you know her past?! You shouldn't know that!" Shihou asks, eyes wide.
Shihou knows that Tennou isn't aware of Hikari's past. So him using Hikari for his plan means that he knows a fair amount. Tennou wipes the blood on the corner of his lips, the smirk never leaving his face.
"How can you hide that fact, birdy? That's one of the rules. We shouldn't interact with someone like her! You're very well aware of that, and yet she's your friend?" Tennou said in a mocking tone.
"You blackmail her?!" Shihou asks in disbelief. The anger in his body continues to rise. He can't believe how he just neglected her feelings.
"I should've thanked you for not announcing your relationship sooner. It made my plan a success!"
"You little--" as he is about to punch him again, he is stopped by Rokuhiko, who holds him back. Glaring at him, he struggles to get free from him.
"Shihou, calm down! You wouldn't like to go in trouble, don't you?" he said while having a hard time holding him off.
"Enami, let go of me! I already had enough of his scheme!" Shihou struggles to get out of his grip.
He already had enough. First of all, he pulls Hikari into his plan and most of all. Because of his plan, Mayumi broke up with him and agreed to his proposal. Now he can clearly understand; that the law and rules he studied when he was still young are all 100% true. No one can reject a Miya even when they are part of the 12 families because the laws favor the Miya more than anyone. They always prioritize the Miya more than anyone else.
"Isami-san, you need to calm down! You know very well that this isn't something she'll be happy to see!" Benihime plead.
At the mention of it, Shihou already knows what she's implying. Benihime was right Mayumi wouldn't be happy seeing him get into a scuffle with Tennou. But first of all, will she even feel delighted seeing him? Mayumi thinks that he cheated on her, but the likelihood of that happening is zero. Because he loves her with all his heart, he needs to calm down first and think of a plan to take Mayumi back from the hands of the devil itself.
He'll take her back at all cost, even though it means relinquishing him as an Isami member. With this plan on his mind, he stops resisting before looking at Benihime, muttering an apology. Before leaving, he did not forget to glare at the smiling little devil.
Mayumi is on her way to Tennou. The little dango freak asks her to make him a mitarashi dango. She silently complies with his request. After all, her father told her not to anger the Miya head for something that she doesn't know. Maybe it's because they're the number 1 family, that's why? She halts on her steps when she sees a group of students gathering and looking at something. From the looks of it, it seems like a fight.
She looks to know what's happening, only to be startled to see Shihou come out in the group of people. Their eyes met, and at that exact moment, she could feel her heart torn apart by just seeing his face. She still can't understand herself; why did she let Tennou win her over the one she loves so much. Shihou also has a hurt look on his face, making her feel guilty. Mayumi regrets her actions, but she can't change them now, and it's not like she had that much choice. No one should reject a Miya if you don't want unfortunate to befall you. She broke up with Shihou, and now she's Miya Tennou's fiancee. Shihou walked past her, not before whispering something that made her almost cry.
"I'll take you back...." Tears threatened to fall in her eyes as she began to walk towards a smirking Tennou.
"Oh, Kitty! Did you come to see me?" she nods, trying not to cry in front of him. When she looks up at Tennou and sees his lips bleeding, her eyes widen. Did Shihou do that? That is so unlike him!
"Tennou, what happened?" Mayumi asks out of concern. Maybe she hates this guy, but her kind self can't ignore this wound he has. Looking at her, confused, he began to think. After a few seconds, he looks at her with a grin.
"Oh, that's stupid birdy did this!" Mayumi's eyes widen. Is this Shihou they're talking about? Indeed she saw him walk out in the crowd, but how could he do such a thing?
"I'll take you back...." those words came back to her mind; she needed to hear his side of the story, right? Because she knows that Shihou won't do that to her. Besides that, Hikari is a kind-hearted girl who helps them be together. But how can she do that if Tennou is on her side 24/7? He wouldn't let her leave her side. It ticks her off that him being so possessive without caring about her feelings.
So if she was asking for her opinion, Tennou getting hit by Shihou is what he probably deserves. She's not dumb enough not to notice that all of it was planned, though it took her a long time before realizing it. The hurt look of Shihou and the guilty face of Hikari, and the face like she has been forced to do it. Also, the part when Tennou suddenly asks her to be his bride. She needs a few more pieces of evidence to look to find out the truth.
"Let's go, Kitty! You'll accompany me to the infirmary!" Tennou said, holding her hand and dragging her along with him. For now, she must earn Tennou's trust first! She needs to find a way to be able to leave his side.
