Days later, I've been busying myself doing my own things that must get done or helping Soryu or even Eisuke. I leave the library and head to the hotel because I'm needed there. It wasn't even Soryu that called me there. That's confusing.

"Reina, we've been waiting for you." Baba greets once I enter the executive lounge.

"Over here, over here!" Ota beckons me over, making me sit down on the couch with a frown on my face. I glance at my boyfriend. Soryu looks like he's in a bad mood as he sits down on the couch across from me.

"It's time to tell us. You've got five minutes." Eisuke orders.

I look at them in confusion. "Wait, what're you talking about? Tell you what?" I don't know why that makes me nervous.

"About your date the other day, of course." Answers Baba. "Sor won't tell us a thing." I glance at Soryu. So I won't either.

"So we figured we'd just have to ask you." Adds Ota. "Besides, you both were avoiding us the past few days."

"It was intentional." I answer, smiling.

"You don't have to answer them, Reina." Says Soryu.

"Shut up, Soryu." Eisuke grins. Wow, they're really interested in this.

"Who do you think you have to thank for your date, eh?" Mamo speaks up, smirking.

"Sor, you have to share your happiness with others, you know." Says Baba, teasing.

"Yeah, don't hog it all to yourself, Soryu." Adds in Ota.

"...Geez." So that's why he looks so grumpy. Cute.

"So? What'd you guys do the other day, Reina?" Pries Ota.

I glance at Soryu and I can't exactly read his expression. "Um... We just went window shopping and then to a movie."

"Window shopping and a movie!" Baba says, looking rather surprised.

"Wow, so Soryu goes on normal dates, too!" Ota is also surprised. I frown.

"There a problem?" Soryu looks bothered.

"Not bad, Sor! I'm relieved you even know how to go on a date." Says Baba cheerfully. "So what movie did you see?"

I sigh. "Why are you making it seem like he doesn't have common sense?" I'm tired, why do they treat him like this? "He is a human being, just because he's in the mafia, that doesn't define who he really is."

"No, it does." Soryu disagrees.

"Look, shut up, I know what I'm saying." I point to him then grin at him. He gives me a frown. "Oh and we saw a detective story and another one about magicians but it was crime so,"

"All those detective stories are a bunch of crap." Mamo speaks up.

"I bet they'd be more interesting if you wrote them, Mamoru." Says Eisuke.

"That's a good idea! Write one, Kishi!" Pipes in Ota.

"Gimme a break,"

"Wait, you saw two movies? You only mentioned one," Baba questions.

Oh shit, it slipped out. "Oh, I did? Sorry, but yeah, we watched two."

"You actually payed twice?" Inquires Ota, surprised.
