He screwed up and he knew it. He needed to tell her everything tonight before Tohru did it. He needed to tell her the truth…
Picking up his phone, he dialed Shou,
“You free tonight?” He said when Shou picked up.
“Depends on what you have on,” Shou responded.
“I’m meeting Tohru and I’m going to need backup,”
“You have it,” Shou answered instantly making Jun smile, This was his friend…
“Can you be here around eight? I will send you the address,” Jun said sending his friend the address.
“Woah, the drinks are on you man! What are you doing inviting me where they serve drinks on gold goblets?!&

Iori smiled at Kuronuma as he talked to her heatedly her mind struggling to keep track of their conversation. She was still thinking about what happened earlier and all the damage control she had been doing.She left before Jun finished with his booth on purpose because she’d needed to gather her thoughts before she had to talk to him. But she wasn’t doing any thought gathering since she’d been roped into this conversation with Kuronuma who was usually quieter than this…“Your last book had been having this much attention from the entertainment industry because your characters are what they usually look for. It makes me wonder if you write while keeping that in mind…”“No, I’ve never had that thought before. I was just writing the way I usually did,” Iori responded absently when she spotted Jun by the buffet table talking to Takada-sensei. He looked tense.“I was wondering…”

“Want to go somewhere quieter?” Jun asked and Iori nodded.Taking her hand in his, they intertwined their fingers and walked toward the entrance to the terrace where there were few people.“Are you okay?” Jun asked as they both leaned on the railing overlooking the small back garden.“Yeah…” Iori answered,“I should have broken his wrist,” Jun murmured under his breath and Iori sighed,“He didn’t know…” Iori said weakly,“It doesn’t matter. He shouldn’t touch people like that randomly, someday someone is going to teach him a lesson.”“He’s usually more reserved than this. I don’t know why he was acting like that today…”“I do….” Jun said, “He has a thing for you,”“No, That’s impossible…” Iori responded with a chuckle, Jun’s je

Jun took a deep breath as the car moved out of the parking spot and made his way back inside the hotel ignoring the stares and the few camera flashes.His mind concentrated on one goal and one goal alone. He made his way to the check-in area.“Hello, I would like to check into a room,” Jun said to the neatly dressed desk clerk who looked like he came of catalog for the perfect footman.“I’m sorry, sir. Even though you seem to be a member of the literature conference rooming here is not one of the services offered for this event and booking a room here requires prior reservation.Jun eyed the man for a moment before pulling something out of his pocket,“I’m sorry sir, but no amount of bribery will get you…”Jun slipped the card he pulled out toward the clerk and he frowned looking down at it,“If you don’t get it, get your manager. He will understand,” Jun said in a col

As the car drove away from the hotel Iori sat back her head spinning. Jun’s kiss had effectively shut her mind off and rendered her thoughtless. She sighed realizing that she was too far gone for her to have rational thoughts anyway. She loved him…Her heart sped at the confession she made between her and herself. She’d known it for a while now, but, she hadn’t been ready to voice it in her head until now.She loved him…And she Just let him go in there to meet with his worst nightmare alone. She remembered the vulnerable smile he gave her, the soft kisses and the hugs that squeezed her so much but gave her so much warmth. Jun wasn’t as confident as he may have sounded, he was afraid, as anyone would be of meeting with the people who caused such a tragedy by their foolishness.But she doubted that he was afraid of the two. He was probably more afraid of himself. Of the reaction he had done back then, and of what those

“You must be excited to be back studying in Japan again, Iori-sama,” Genta said looking at Iori through the back mirror with a smile.Iori smiled back at him.“I’m looking forward to studying with Shun again. Father can be too paranoid sometimes,” Iori responded,“You know how it is with the Satou-clan. He just wants you to have a normal school life. As normal as they could be.”“Hopefully, this time I won’t have to deploy out of the country under the cover of the night again…” Iori said with a sigh“Iori-Sama… With how your mother passed away… Your father is…”“I know…” Iori said calmly, “I know that he doesn’t want anything bad to happen again…”Genta parked the car in front of the school gate and turned toward Iori smiling at her,“The most important thing here is that you&rsqu

The light breeze swiping through the window brought in a stray pink petal and Iori followed it with her eyes until it landed on her desk in a small twirl. like a well-experienced ballet dancer exhibiting her skills in one masterful last move before bowing to her audience.“You may be excused,” Announced the teacher bringing her attention back to the class.As the teacher left the room the buzz started as everyone started forming groups and joking around with each other. Shun turned around in his seat to face her and she gave him a small smile.Before he could say anything, two girls came up to her.“Hello. I’m Nakamura Eri and this is Hanasaki Naomi. The teacher said that you had been studying abroad for a while, where were you?” she asked her eyes sparkling like little jewels and Iori couldn’t help but smile at the girl with her infectious smile.“I was if England for a while,”“Do

“Are you okay?” The boy asked again this time looking at her with concern,“Yeah, I’m fine,” Iori said automatically stepping away from the handsome stranger who was looking at her like she was a weirdo. And perhaps she was, for looking at him like that.“Sorry, I didn’t see you on the floor,” She added trying to sound as civil as possible.“No worries,” He answered giving Iori a heart stopping smile, “It’s my fault to be sleeping there in the first place. But in my defense, no one ever comes here so I didn’t think something like this would happen,”Iori chuckled, “You’re straightforward…”He chuckled alongside her, “Your english is good…” He commented stepping back and giving Iori her space.As if she realized it for the first time, she looked up at him for a moment her mind doing a quick flashback.

Jun leaned back against the bookshelves and stared at the book he was holding in his hand. He had been reading and rereading the same paragraph for the best part of an hour... "I wonder if she's going to come back here..." He muttered then stopped himself not liking the track of his own thoughts. It was one time, one little meeting that happened in coincidence. Why was he expecting her to come back here? Sighing in frustration he stood up and made his way toward the shelf where he took the book he was reading. He couldn’t concentrate on the content anyway, he could as well take a nap until it was time to go back to that damned class. Since Shou just made another girlfriend, the traitor was rarely there, so Jun would be on his own against those annoying flies that keep circling around him… Memorizing the page where he stopped he put the book back in its place. He would be back here after school anyway, there was nothing to do back at home. His

“How…” She whispered,“I picked him up on my way from the airport. He made his way up the mountain on his own and waited for me to come and pick him up so that he could come in.” Her father explained and Jun smiled.“You went through all this trouble…”“Sorry I couldn’t contact you, there was no cell reception on the way and I couldn’t reach you or your brother,” Jun said coming into the room as her father made way for him and went outside,“I’ve missed you,” He said, “God you look so beautiful,” He added and Iori laughed throwing her arms around him.He was there, he came for her… Iori felt on top pf the world.“How have you been?” He asked her“Fine! How have YOU been! I was worried about you, how did things go?!”“I settled everything,” He said‘What did you exa
A Writer's Contract: Twisted Inspiration Ceremony
Iori leaned against the wooden walls of her room in the mountain estate her eyes on the scenery in front of her, the beautiful cascades of the mountain forest views as they peeked through the misty presence that always seemed to cover the mountain early in the morning left Iori breathless whenever she looked at it.Usually, this view was enough to make her feel so fulfilled and empowered that she could take on anything that may come her way. But these days she couldn’t help but note the loneliness that was taking root in her heart.Her mind kept wandering to Jun and wondering how he was doing, how his meeting with Tohru’s father went. Since he had contacted her to ask if she arrived well there had been no signal from him. It’s been three days since then. Iori’s phone had been taken away two days ago. Her aunt claimed that she needed to disconnect from the city and reconnect with the mountain spirits.In any other circumstances, Iori would
A Writer's Contract: Twisted Inspiration Revenge or self deffence
Iori stood beside Jun as he spoke on the phone her hand on his tense shoulders silently reassuring him."So everything is settled? How about Kokuro are they going to plead guilty?" Jun asked and waited for the answer,"If they want to settle things with money drag them on for a bit longer and make sure that they will be under our hands next time. Tabloids can be valuable in the trade for the long term, I don't want to destroy them. Just make sure that they take a big hit... a public one..."Iori sighed, Jun was out for blood, after both the tabloid and Tohru fell for his trap, he was playing with them like a cat playing with his meal until he falls hungry and devours them. Who knew Jun could be so ruthless in business, he surely seems to be his father's son.But, Iori was worried that this was more than that. She was worried that Jun was exercising his revenge in the most rightful way he could find, not even daring to admit to himself that he was taking h

A few days later Iori walked out of the elevator with her brother walking beside her. Haruki nodded at the slightly surprised secretary and they went straight for the office. Then they went inside without knocking.Inside, the president sat alongside Jun as they talked. Iori and Jun’s eyes met for a brief moment but Iori quickly averted her gaze from his. She wasn’t there to exchange gazes with him, she was there for a reason and she couldn’t afford to let her feelings for Jun be in the way of what she needed to do.“Iori, I know we had an appointment but I didn’t know that you were bringing a guest,” Satoru said with a welcoming smile his poker face ever-present.“Since I came to the conclusion that you can’t be trusted, our meetings can’t go on unwitnessed anymore so I brought my lawyer with me to ensure that everything is legal here,”“Don’t you think that’s
A Writer's Contract: Twisted Inspiration Evening confession
Jun guided Iori toward the side of the terrace and they descended down the stairs that led to the Japanese style garden.“No one will bother us here,” He said and Iori smiled up at him.Jun led her toward a bench where he leaned and spread his arms for her to lean on him and she obliged relishing in the comfort of his arms around her.“Are you cold?” He asked as she snuggled into him.“No,” Iori answered her eyes closed as she breathed in the scent of his perfume. A scent that became so familiar to that she would sometimes miss it at night whenever she’s alone.“Back then all I could think about was how if I hadn’t wanted to become a writer none of this would have happened” She finally said and Jun squeezed her tighter and she felt his protest before she heard it.“There’s no way that any of tat is your fault,”“I know now… But back then it was

“Where are you taking me?” Iori asked Jun as they walked toward the center of the room.Jun grinned at her and she looked up at him in confusion. A small smile broke on her beautiful rosy lips making Jun want to wipe the make-up off them with one fell swoop of his mouth.He had been trying to hold back since the evening started, but he was reaching his limits. He wanted her more than anything, so at least he could have her all to himself for a few short moments like this before she had to return to her duties.“May I have this dance?” Jun asked her extending his hand to hers.Without hesitation, Iori put her hand on his which made him inwardly smile. Iori never hesitated to take his hand anymore, no matter the reason, Jun was always sure that she would reach out back to him if he extended his hand.It may seem like a small gesture, but to Jun it meant much more than that. Iori’s honest and instinctive reactions to him
A Writer's Contract: Twisted Inspiration Successor
“I would like to announce approaching retirement from my position as the second clan leader,” Akagi-sama said and a wave of gasps filled the room.Iori felt calmness fill her, she knew this was coming and she couldn’t describe how nervous she had felt when Akagi-sama had told her about her plan when she arrived the previous day.She had agonized over whether she was ready or if she was going to be enough, but, when she felt the moment come, all f her doubts disappeared and she felt herself being surrounded by a calmness that felt ethereal.This is her duty, the role she had been ready for for a long time. There was nothing to be scared about, there was nothing to fear because she was born to be the mountain clan’s leader. More importantly, she was born to be the priestess of the mountains.“I had been the leader of the mountain clan for such a long time that I feel that it’s long overdue for me to leave my place to some
A Writer's Contract: Twisted Inspiration Engagement
Silence reigned over the room as soon as Akagi-sama stood there in front of them her presence reassuring and welcoming, yet at the same time overwhelming and imposing.It’s been a long time since Iori felt as if her aunt’s presence was imposing to her. Her training and frequent contact with the older woman had assured that Iori doesn’t view her aunt like the others do.Rather than saying that Iori got used to her presence, it was rather that Iori began to look at her aunt like an equal and sometimes a rival. And without the respect that had been ingrained in her back when her mother was still alive, she would have overstepped the bounds with her aunt long ago.That’s because that’s how things were supposed to be in their case. They may be mentor and disciple, but they were also a leader and her successor. And a few clashes between them were inevitable.Iori knew that her aunt liked her, she even considered her like the daught
A Writer's Contract: Twisted Inspiration Solidarity
“I hear your talk with akagi-sama went well?” Haruki said as he made his way toward them with Rina by his side.They both looked like a couple out of a spy movie, both tall and elegantly dressed. Her brother and his fiancée may have a peculiar relationship, a relationship where it was hard to decide whether they were together because it was decided for them or because they were the only compatible people who could put up with each other. But there was one sure thing, they both suited each other to the point of it being even perfect to look at.“Gee, thanks for the support,” Iori mumbled under her breath and Rina laughed,“Oh come on Iori! We all know that no one is willing to confront Akagi-sama other than you. I face cold blooded criminals on a daily basis and I can’t stand to have a talk with that woman for longer than necessary. She sends chills down my spine every time she looks at me with that piercing gaze o
