"I was just wondering if you were the puppet killer."Sanzu asked and looked at you with a frown.
"I mean...Wouldnt you recognize me as Sakura if I was The Puppet Killer?"You asked calmly.
"I mean...You are right here."He chuckled."Sorry...I-I just had to get this out of my mind."He smiled while looking down.
"Awe...Dont worry...We all have our suspicions,don't we?"You smiled and he nodded.
"I like you."Sanzu blurted out which made you widen your eyes.
"In what way?"You asked,shocked.
"I don't know...Still trying to figure it out."He smiled at you and then left the kitchen,going upstairs.You just stood there with wide eyes,but then came back to your senses and washed the dishes.
After you were done,you dried your hands and went into the living room.Sasha and Ran weren't there anymore.Only Kokonoi.He was looking onto some papers with a frown.You sat next to him and he looked up at you with a small smile.
"Are you ok?"He questioned and you nodded.
"What about you?"
"Hm?"He looked at you again with a frown.
"Are you ok?"You repeated his question.He chuckled and nodded.
"Yes...Just work related stuff."He chuckled and put the paper that he was holding on the coffee table,then turned his attention on you."Maybe the boys already told you this,but we will protect you no matter what,ok?Dont worry about Kisaki and Hanma,we will make sure they suffer if they get to you in any way."Kokonoi assured.You smiled.
"Well...Thanks,I guess...You all are really nice for some criminals,honestly."You said and he chuckled.
"Trust me,we are not."He chuckled,but seemed serious.You decided to just leave it there.

"I am boooored~"You groaned and stretched your arms up in the air.Kokonoi chuckled.
"What do you want to do?"He asked.His elbow was on his knee and his palm was supporting his cheek as he stared at you with a smile.
"Hmmm...I don't know...I wanna cook something."
"Let's do that then."He said still with a smile.You looked at him with a wide grin,but the frowned.
"I mean...Yes,sure but...Dont you have work to do?"You asked and looked at the papers next to him.
"Oh...I got time to do them later-"
"Ok then,let's go!"You said with excitement and jumped off from the couch,then ran into the kitchen.Kokonoi chuckled and followed behind you.
"Alright...What should we cook?"You asked as you put an apron on.Kokonoi did too.
"Well...What would you like to eat?"He asked with a small smile.
"Hmmm...Lets make sushi!"You said with a grin.He nodded with a smile.
"Let's make sushi,then."
"YAY!"You jumped with your fist up in the air.Kokonoi smiled and went to the fridge to take out the ingredients.
"No!Dont put it like that,Koko.Just roll it."You said.Kokonoi did as said with a confused face.You sighed."Is this the first time you are cooking?"
He chuckled and nodded,which made you widen your eyes."I have never cooked before since I got maids to do it..."He shrugged casually.
"Rich bitch."You mumbled.
"Hey...After we are done with cooking,let's watch a movie."He proposed.You smiled.
"I would love that.But we need popcorn for it."You announced and searched into the drawers for popcorn.He continued on doing the sushi."AHA!FOUND YA!"You said and held a pack of instant popcorn in your hands.Kokonoi chuckled and you went to the microwave,put the pack inside and started the machine.You went back to Kokonoi and he was already finished with the sushi.You took one piece and tasted it."YUMMY!"You exclaimed.

"Is it good?"He asked.
"Very."You smiled.He took one bite too and nodded,agreeing with your statement.After a couple more minutes,the microwave stopped.
You put the popcorn from the bag into a bowl and smiled at Kokonoi.The two of you went into the living room and sat down with the bowl between the two of you.
"What should we watch?"You asked as you opened Netflix.
"I am ok with whatever you choose."Kokonoi said and you smiled.
"Ok then...Lets watch something horror."You mumbled."Oh...Have you seen The Texas chainsaw massacre?"You asked and looked at him.He shook his head.
"Never heard of it before."
"Well then let's watch it...I had it in my watchlist for weeks now..."You said and picked the movie,then sat comfortably on the couch and ate popcorn while watching the movie.
"SHIT!"Kokonoi cursed and flinched.You chuckled,which made him look at you with wide eyes."How can you smile and chuckle at this?"He questioned in shock.
"Oh come on...Its not that scary."
Kokonoi was shocked."No wonder why they say that you are unique."He mumbled.You weren't paying attention to what he said tho.
"Aghhhhh~" You yawned and stretched your arms above your head."This movie wasn't what I expected to be..."You said with a small pout.You glanced over at Kokonoi.He was clearly scared."Oh?Are you alright there,buddy?"He shook his head."Oh,come on...It wasn't scary..."
"The end was shocking."He managed to say.You chuckled.
"I mean...Yeah...A little bit...Unexpected I would say....I personally didn't expect the sister...What was her name?Melody?Yeah...I didn't expect Melody to die like that...Like...He just slit her throat...Thats too basic honestly,but whatever."You shrugged.Kokonoi looked at you with a smile.
"Yeah..."He blurted out,the smile still on his face."You are beautiful..."He mumbled.You widened your eyes and looked at him in shock.
"Huh?"
He stared in your eyes while smiling."You are beautiful."He repeated.
"Well...I guess I am."You said with a smile.The two of you still held eye contact as you slowly brought your face closer to Kokonoi's who didn't move whatsoever.You stopped when you felt your noses touching.The two of you smiled at each other.Kokonoi glanced at your lips,then back at your eyes.You did the same and tilted your head to the side a little,then leaned further.
Your lips were slightly touching at this point.Kokonoi touched your cheek softly with his fingers and you brought your hand on his shoulder.He cupped your cheek softly and brought you closer,pressing his lips on yours.
As you were about to go further,someone entered the house by slamming the door loudly.You flinched and looked at the door.Takeomi was breathing heavily for some reason,but he was angry.
"Takeomi-san...Are you alright?"You asked.He shook his head.
"Kisaki attacked one of our hide outs."
