(Y/n)'s POV

I woke up and saw the familiar ceiling of my apartment, I sat up and yawned and did my morning routine, when I was done I walked to Kyouka's room and saw her bed is already empty and I heard the shower had been turned on.

"She must be in the shower." I mumbled and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast which contain two bacon and one fried egg.

I put the breakfast at the table and saw Kyouka came in the kitchen all fresh.

"Ohayo Kyouka-chan! How's your sleep?" I greeted with a smile.

"Ohayo (Y/n)-san, I slept good, the bed was so comfy." Kyouka replied and I smiled. "I'm glad. Have a sit and eat your breakfast." I said and sat down at the opposite side of her.

We started eating but all of a sudden Kyouka asked a question that takes me by surprise.

"(Y/n)-san? Do you like someone?" She asked which make me choked from my food.

"What *cough!* makes *cough!* you *cough!* say *cough!* that? *cough!* *cough!*" I asked with a flustered face, I then drink some water.

"I was just curious." Kyouka said and I stared at her to find out if she lied but I didn't find any, so I sighed.

"To tell you the truth Kyouka... " I look at her and did a closed eyes smile. "I like all of them and I was afraid to lose all of them including you. I don't want my past to be repeated again." I answered truthfully.

"Your past?" She asked and I nodded. "I suppose it's time for you to know." I stated, making her curious.

"When I was a child, I have a wonderful family, but it didn't last long when my mother passed away in a plane accident.

My father was so devastated when he heard it, I suggested for him that he should marry someone that he love and that someone will also love him like he love them.

So when my father saw how serious I was, he smiled at me and said that he was happy to have a daughter that is kind and caring." I paused and saw Kyouka listened carefully to what I'm saying, so I continued.

"When he married another woman, the woman was so kind to me including her daughter, I thought that their intentions are pure but it's not because when my father died in an unknown disease, their personality changed. It changed from good to bad, and it turns out that they are only hiding their true self behind their fake personality." I said and saw Kyouka's brows frowned.

"What happened next? (Y/n)-san?" She asked and I smiled, I then continued.

"They transferred me to the attic, all of my girly things that they could find, they grab it and make it theirs, that's also the time that my hair got cut short, and I pretended to be a boy so the class won't bully me for being a girl in a boys clothing.

There was these one time that my best friend went at my house, and my step sister pushed her down the stairs and my step mother killed her..." I didn't notice the years that rolled down my cheeks, but Kyouka grabbed a handkerchief and wiped it off, I smile in thanks.

"I couldn't forgive myself that time because I wasn't strong enough to save her from them. So because of that, I practiced and trained in fighting alone, I was also hiding it to my step family so they wouldn't know, and because I really like and love anime, I used the techniques that they used in fighting, that's where I learned to fight to protect those who are dear to me." I finished with a smile.

"What's the name of your best friend (Y/n)-san?" Kyouka asked me.

"Her name is Rita Mae but I give her a nickname which is Riri-chan." I replied and put away the dishes and grabbed a picture at the drawer.

"This is what she look like Kyouka-chan." I give the picture to Kyouka and she look at it.

"She's a half Filipino and her and her mother teacher me how to cook. I remembered when Riri-chan was still alive, I always go to their house to play and learn to cook." I smiled sadly. I turned around and walk in the kitchen to wash the dishes, I didn't notice that Kyouka put the picture in her pocket.

When I was done washing the dishes, I called Kyouka and handed her a paper that my students will have to do today because I was not going to the agency.

I didn't tell her the reason that it's my friend's death anniversary today.

After that the both of us went out of the house and walked in a separate ways.
