Chapter 354 - Jealousy is a beast in disguise

After having similar conversations with both Rhys and the King regarding Lyn. Kazuya's mind was in a daze; he wanted nothing more than to fall asleep with Lyn in his arms. A deep sigh escaped his lips. She said she would come see him right away. But it seems like Lyn wasn't able to escape that man. Maybe he is being too paranoid about nothing. Look at Rhys, he loves Lyn too, but he isn't behaving in this manner. In fact, Rhys was the one who sent Lyn to the very doors of another guy.

Then again, recently, Rhys has been acting very strange. Kazuya thought that after their talk, things would be okay now.

He finds an intruder in his room.

But a cute one.

It was Lyn; she was searching the room and his belongings with an intense look in her eyes. Kazuya chuckled when he saw her that way.

"I didn't keep another girl here," he said from behind her.

Lyn whipped her head around and rolled her eyes. "But you never know, it doesn't hurt to be careful...and brother said some strange things. About how every man here came intending to find themselves a wife…"

Kazuya laughed, "A wife? I have one?"

"Where?"

He bent down and kissed her lips, "Right here, isn't she cute?"

Laughter passed Lyn's lips, "Maybe? Kazuya, I'm sorry for taking so long. Were you waiting for me?"

"Mmm," Kazuya nodded. "My only purpose here today was to come here for you. The one participating in those meetings and greetings is Rhys, not me."

"Ah, so Rhys is looking for a wife?"

"Forget that; you did have me worried. Are you all alright? That guy didn't try to do anything to you, did he?" Kazuya looked Lyn up and down before he spotted something on her neck.

His gaze dimmed, and Lyn quickly placed her hand there. "It was just a prank, Kazuya! He didn't do anything else.."

"Am I being too lenient on you? How many times had Rhys kissed you since he admitted he loved you?"

Lyn sighed, "It's not that you're lenient on me, Kazuya. But you're not fighting for yourself. If you love me so much, why don't you fight for me? I know you have a hard time fighting when it comes to your best friend. That's understandable. But other guys?"

Kazuya was surprised about the girl's sudden sharp tone. Since they met again, Lyn has always acted sweet around him. Not that he didn't know about this side of her. Of course, he knew, but it still surprised him nonetheless. Especially since she usually doesn't use this tone with him.

He kisses her cheeks, "Are you angry, Lyn?"

"Just upset, we haven't met in so long, and yet earlier, you seemed to be in a daze. I even learned from brother that this is a meeting spot for bachelors.."

Kazuya smiled, "I do think you're cute when you're jealous. But I don't like being accused of things I didn't do."

"Are you sure you didn't do it? I read in some books.."

Gee, now he understands why the books in her place are censored. "Forget those books. You managed to sneak away?"

"Yeah, because brother is attending a meeting now."

"So, you can't stay over?"

Lyn laughed, "Uh, it's okay. I can stay over. Rather please let me I'm supposed to be fighting with brother and don't want to see him. I'm having Himuro guard my room."

"...so you've been spending a lot of time with him?"

"He's my tutor and bodyguard, so I guess."

Another guy? Does he like Lyn? No, that's not the impression he got. But one can't be too careful when it comes to these things. "So, you spend so many hours with another man, look how casual you are about it…"

"Wahh--wait?"

Lyn must have understood where he was coming from, "Kazuya, please don't misunderstand. It isn't like that, Kazuya, uh.."

Kazuya lifted her up. The girl had lost a lot of weight, so it was easy for him. She's light like a feather. How much weight did she lose? Why didn't she eat? Just because he wasn't around her? Why did she have to suffer so much? Kazuya didn't think that Lyn relied on him this much. But now that he knows…

____

Fate seems to dislike her at this present moment. Lyn thought they were fine for the next few minutes. Kazuya had been pampering her, and Lyn thought that things were okay. But then again, Kazuya is like a lion at times.

"Where? Where did they touch you."

"Kazuya hold on, nothing happened. . ."

Kazuya clicked his tongue in annoyance, "I don't care. You still smell of other men I don't know. . ."

Uhh? Lyn looked at him, dumbfounded. Is Kazuya mad this time? This is a good thing, right? This is what she wanted?

He doesn't wait for a response and captures his lips with hers. Kazuya' ¥ scent, his arms, his chest, his warm hands. She's so happy that she could die. Feeling her return his hold he pulled back slightly,

"Crap what's with you being so willing? Even though I'm scolding you."

"Because I like your touch Kazuya... Um, is that wrong?"

"You know it isn't." he sighs deeply as he kissed her forehead softly, "Sorry for getting angry back there. I've just had a lot of pent up frustration and feelings recently. You don't tell me where you've been going recently, and there was that time you spent with Rhys."

"That was----"

"I know he told me already. Sorry, I can't help it, I feel so insecure whenever we're apart from each for a single moment. Your so pretty, Lyn, your kind too. You're the perfect girl."

Kazuya has been feeling insecure? This is the first time she's heard about it. She didn't know that he was also worrying. "Kazuya also. I don't like it when you look at other girls. I know you're not looking at them that way, but it makes me uncomfortable."

"Then, what do you want me to do? Tell me, Lyn. We said we would tell each other, didn't we?"
