The morning came and Tomiko’s phone woke her up. She touched the screen and looked at the time, turning the lights on and rubbing her eyes in quick succession. She looked to her side and Hangaku was not there already. “Weird. Where did she go? And where am I… Oh, right, I forgot for a moment. Better if I get dressed, we were supposed to eat breakfast with Sakamo-kun.”
Tomiko went to the closet to get her clothes and school bag, and Hangaku’s stuff was not there, except for the new pyjama. She frowned as she was changing, and put her pyjama inside the closet as well while mumbling, “Maybe she wants to st

Hangaku whispered near his ear, making him blush: - “Their only problem was their vow of chastity, I bet they couldn’t teach you anything about that matter.” - “I… read some books. Tomoe-chan and our friends also helped with some stories and descriptions. I am not that innocent...” Hangaku made a slight smile: - “I wonder how much I am able to teach you in that department… Dating you will be so much fun, fall for me already, geez!” Sakamo laughed: - “Ahahah! Here it is, the Hangaku-chan we all know and love! Where did you go? I was getting worried!” Hangaku laughed with him and Takechi that was walking with Tomiko a few meters from them asked: - “Since when those two are like that?

When the class finished, Sakamo was putting his books inside the school bag when he was pulled to his right and saw Hangaku staring at him really close. She spoke in a gentle voice: - “What about my kiss? You didn’t answer my note.” - “You… want one right now? With everyone around us?” - “No, silly! But I bet we can find a place where we can be all alone for a while. If we leave now, we can have some time just for us before the afternoon classes. What do you say? Unless… you… don’t want to kiss me…” Sakamo noticed Hangaku’s sad eyes, behind her forced smile. He gently caressed her face and said: - “I would be a fool if I didn’t want to, but aren’t we going to be in trouble if someone sees us?” - “Probably. Isn’t that excitant? The danger, not knowing if someone will surprise us! Hihihi! Come on already, I told Tomiko to go with Takechi to the cafe

A new door appeared and after opening it, Sakamo exited the cubicle and was once again, in his School’s toilet.

As soon as the car stopped near one of the entrances that were marked as ‘service entry’, Sakamo got out and told the driver to go, even with the driver arguing that he had to accompany him, since Sakamo gave his bodyguard the day off. Sakamo left him shouting at him, and went away, disappearing among the crowd. Sakamo grabbed his phone when he felt it vibrating in his pocket: - “Hello, Sakamo Ryu here… Oh, Hangaku-chan! Yes, I am here, I just arrived. Yes, I am near that entrance. Wait a minute… No, I don’t see you. Wait,

After nearly an hour of walking, they arrived at the vicinities of the main gate of the Imperial Palace. Sakamo thought it was weird if she lived there, but probably her parents worked there. To his surprise, a group of four men ran to them as soon as they recognised the Princess, and one of them shouted to Sakamo, “Let her go! Why are you holding her hand like that? Why did you kidnap her?” Sakamo felt Hiko trembling as she hid behind him, and he whispered, “What do these guys want? Are they friends of those guys this morning?”
