Chapter 6: Worst Date

Ai's and Akito's grandparents set them up to meet at a restaurant. Ai seems disinterested in this meeting. "Since we're both here, lets enjoy it without wasting money." Akito didn't reply. Ai orders the meal while Akito orders his. They didn't talk at all.

Meanwhile, their grandparents are sitting far from their table. "Oh gosh, they're not even talking." "I apologize on my stupid grandson." "Oh no. It's my stubborn granddaughter."

...

Their food arrives and they eat silently. Soon Akito gets up to use the restroom. Ai sighs. Soon Jill, Cera's sister comes in with her date and notices Ai. She evilly grins. She takes her wine from the waiter and walks towards Ai's table.

...

Her grandparents saw it. "That son of b--" "Honey, calm down." "Calm down? Look at that nasty woman bullying our child. Let go of me. Let me go there and teach her a lesson or two." "Where's Akito, that dumb grandson?"

...

Akito returns and sees the scene where Jill dumps her wine on Ai. Ai quickly reacts and grabs her wine from the table and throws at Jill's face. "Ah! You!" "What?" Ai smiles, "I'm just returning the favor." "Ai! My sister won't let you off that easily. You're just a woman who's into high school student." "So what if I am? At least I don't go and sell my body to a man who's the same age as a grandpa." Jill clenched her hands. "Ai!" Jill tries to hit Ai, Ai caught her hand and pulls her close. "Haven't you open your eyes already, Jill? Your sister isn't interested in you or your busy life. Want to know a secret...[she whispers to Jill's ear] Jill's eyes widened. Ai push her on the ground. "Ai.. you!!" Ai grabs her bag and walks pass her. She looks up and sees Akito. "Ai." He reaches out to her but she moves his hand away from her. He tries to chase her. But Jill notices him and grabs him. "Akito. You should leave that woman alone. She's a full of thorns. You should stay away from her." Ai turns and looks Akito in the eye, "You should listen to her."

...

The grandparents secretly then left the restaurant after seeing Akito and heads home.

...

Akito notices Ai is not acting herself. He tries to follow her. "Akito. She's slept with a high school student. You shouldn't--" Akito slams her on the wall. "Ah!" He glares at her. "I'm the high school student that slept with her." "W-what?? No. You're lying." "If you harm her, I won't let you off that easily, Jill. Also, we're not that close so stay away from me." Akito left the restaurant but couldn't see Ai. "Damn it!" He calls her cellphone but she didn't pick up.

Ai returns home. "Ai." Her grandmother comes running. "What happen?" "Worst date ever." "Ai." She turns to her grandmother. "Spying on us while we have a 'date'." "Ai. We just..." "Just what...? What else you want from me?"

Akito arrives at her house and gets off of the car. As he walks up the stairs, he can hear Ai talking to her grandmother. "Why? Why did you guys do it? Why did you just save me from the fire? What about them? Aren't they important as I am?!" Her grandmother stays silent. "Do you know how many people are willing to die for me? I didn't ask them to! Why me? What's so special about me?" Ai shed tears. She walks away and heads to her room. Her grandmother watches her leave. "You're our hope, Ai." Soon her husband comes to her and comfort her. "What should we do?" "Now, now. It will be okay."

...

Akito turns around and heads back to the car. He sighs, as he wondering what he should do for her. At the same time, Ai locks herself and cried in the room. (Why...Why me?)
