2021-09-19 23:56:17The next day found Jun still grumpy and Iori in high spirits.
Having to go to the dance studio first thing in the morning, they both rushed through breakfast or rather rushed through gulping down their cups of coffee and then headed for the studio.
As they got there, her mood had gotten much better while his mood was only getting worse. Jun still had to dance and Iori didn't have to... at least, not until Jun mastered the steps for their dance by dancing with their trainer.
Kujou had insisted on taking a look at her foot. after deeming it to be okay, he announced that he still wasn't willing to risk her twisting her foot again while trying to keep up with Jun's hectic pace. so he insisted on teaching Jun his steps at the first half of their training time and then letting him practice them with Iori at the last half.
Jun had been all grumpy, but he couldn't come outright and say anything to their trainer. the man could be quite bossy and scary when it came

Jun was seething as the young man that had been flirting with Iori and blushing like a school girl retreated to where Kujou was standing with a grin on his face and openly watching Jun.He had to stop himself from interrupting them for more than twenty minutes, his focus shared between mastering his steps as fast as possible and watching them as they laughed and talked. They looked like they were having fun...When Iori threw her head back and laughed heartily, her deep melodic voice filling the void of the room and her dark locks sliding back exposing her creamy neck, Jun called it an end and excused himself from Kujou announcing that he needed to have a word with his 'girlfriend'.Especially when he saw the young man's eyes follow along her neck and traveling down. He seemed to be in a trance as he watched Iori laugh at something he said.Jun didn't blame the guy. The sight of Iori laughing was a mesmerizing thing of beauty that Jun had wished wou

Iori closed the apartment's door behind her forcefully. Jun turned toward her with a frown but she ignored him as she stepped around him and headed toward the kitchen.Getting out a bottle of ice tea, she poured herself some and drank it in one go auelching her thiers from the hot somer day, but, doing nothing for her anger.After the way Jun acted, she didn't have the chance to talk to him about it as Kujou kept them busy with their dance lesseons. Not wanting to start another argument in public, nor in the car, Iori remained silent as they made their way back home.Now, Jun was standing before her with a frown as he leaned against the kitchen counter."Didn't you say your piece earlier? Why do you keep staring at me?" She challenged annoyed at how Jun seemed to think that he had a right to ba angry about this."You're reacting badly to this. All I said was that you needed to be careful around other guys in case rumors started.""An you thi

There were some things that came easy to Jun. One of those things is befriending people, He had always been the type to have a lot of friends and he could talk to people easily.The second thing was that Jun had no problem with facing the crowds. He could easily take the center of attention, and he handled being on a stage very well.Jun was actually looking forward to their TV show. He wanted to see what would happen then especially since their interviewer was a famous talk show host known for making celebrities squirm in their seats.He was looking forward to the challenge, but Iori wasn't... She's been grumbling about that the whole time they drove to the studio. She even took his car keys from him and insisted on driving. She almost made a fuss about them taking her car instead but Jun couldn't fit in that car and drive comfortably. So she conceded upon the condition that she would be the one driving.Since their dace lessons and the way, Jun acted th

He finished with a small smile on his face. Jun wanted to smirk at that, the man seriously thought that he could reel him off. Everybody knew that Jun and Iori first met at a signing event where they had a huge argument over their genre.Even some of their fans knew that... Which was probably was why he was baiting them with this question.Iori chuckled beside him, and Jun smiled."Our first meeting had kind of been a clash, didn't it?" Iori said looking at him with a wry smile."Yeah, we ended up fighting over such a silly reason. It's kind of entertaining how the

He was of course oblivious to the glare Jun was sending his way. the young mum was reading the newspaper as if it was some official declaration food and unknowing of the fact that it would probably be his official doom." oh here is a much better one," Kajima exclaimed taking a magazine from the stack that was piling on the table.They were waiting for Kurosaki-san to appear for their weekly meeting.

" What?!" Jun exclaimed.Iori remained silent but her mind was going a mile a minute as she tried to process what pushed her to do that.Kurosaki seemed calm as she watched Jun's outburst."What what?" She said calmly, " Just the mention of the Satou name raises our net worth by more than 20%. That old geezer kept mentioning that we shouldn't because it would trouble you, but, I think it's just a silly reason. You being a Satou isn't something to hide. I had to wait for him to be away on a business trip but this turned out to be good actually. I already have some prominent names contacting me to make sure about your identity. Secretly of course..."Kurosaki-san had a knowing smile on her face. And Iori realized that the woman didn't know anything, not a one damn thing."Do you know what you did?" Iori said quietly oddly feeling calm as she spoke.She thought that she was going to be burning with anger, but, instead, she was cool. Too cool th

Jun stood there staring at the door that Iori had just closed, and from the sound of it, she was pushing something against it.He waited for the anger, hurt, or indignation because she treated him like that, but, all he could feel was his heart racing at the cold distant look on her face. She completely put of it, as if you too Iori out and left a shell of a person. A machine that was operating on autopilot and that under the lightest interruption, she would go into overload mode and explode.That's why Jun stepped back. and that's why he released her hand when she wanted him to. Although he wanted nothing more than to pull her closer and tell her that everything was going better.A completely useless action that would have comforted no one but him...As Jun stood there he didn’t know what to do. The sound coming from Iori’s room stopped for a few minutes now and he sat in the living room trying to think about what to do.Because he nee

"I'm sorry to introduce myself under these circumstances, I'm Satou Haruki, Iori's brother," Said the young man in a suit before him. A small smile on his face as his eyes kept wavering toward the Iori's bedroom door,"Jun Kamikoi, nice to meet you. Please come in." Jun said impressed that the man waited for him to give his permission to remove his shoes and step into the apartment."How is she?" He asked"She had been silent for the last hour. Rina-san said that she should be okay, but I'm worried..." Jun responded honestly.Haruki smiled at him and gave him a confident look, "Iori has never had aversions to hurt herself. Her survival instinct and will to live were always strong... Some would say too strong seeing as she's still fighting for her life so fiercely after all that happened...”The last words were said with a dark tone that alarmed Jun. Haruki looked like the friendly type. The type of person who would be happy leading a no

“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

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

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

“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

“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
