"Iori..." Yuji growled as glared daggers to the said woman, there was no hint of respect for her. "Y/n trusted you, but why did you do this? You were with Gojo, did you know that he attempted to kill her?!" he shouted on her face.

"Yuji–"

"Remember this when I tell you, Utahime Iori, I will use your words against you, whatever you say I will use it against you."

Iori, in her head, she has nothing to worry about. Because in the first place, she meant no harm for anyone, "Yes, I was with Gojo. I am his ex-fiance. But I will never be someone who will get along with someone like him."

"So, you're angry with him."

"I loathed him from that moment on."

"You loathed him. Loathed him, then if you loathed him that much then you wanted to destroy him, maybe not him but a part of him."

"You can say that."

"Gojo wanted to kill Y/n but he took interest in Y/n, and by that moment, she was already a part of him! A part of him you wanted to destroy."

"No, I didn't want to hurt her!"

"But you said you wanted to destroy a part of him. Iori I told you I will use whatever you say against you." He snapped at her. Words were everything to Yuji, because as someone who was studying law, words can be either a lethal weapon or impenetrable defense.

Iori shuddered at the sight of Yuji's furious eyes, she never thought that a boy who always smiles will be this dangerous.

"I did not want to hurt, Y/n." Iori muttered, her hands were turning into a tight fist that clenched the linen of her skirt, her voice might tremble but her resolve didn't waver. "Whatever happened to her, to you... I have nothing to do with it."

"But that doesn't deny the fact that you might be with Gojo as he planned those things." He was merciless to her. His anger bottled up inside him, from the moment he saw what happened to his friend. He was so frustrated that he wanted them all jailed up, yet who was he to do that. He had nothing, as of now, he's still nothing.

"I have no evidence to prove you my innocence," Iori muttered. "The truth in my heart is all I've got."

"Do you know how many truths were twisted because of lack of evidence?" Yuji slumped down on the couch across from her. He has his head on the backrest, tilted upward.

There was an abundance of silence in the room, until Megumi decided to break it. "Go to the next room, everything's already prepared. If you need something just call the receptionist, if there's something important call me."

Todo, Noritoshi, and Ijichi all stood up along with Iori and went to the other room as Megumi directed them. Iori left with a heavy heart. Yuji remained in the same position but this time he had his eyes closed and took deep breaths.

"You..." Megumi awkwardly trailed. "You got it in you."

"I got what?"

"Were you some lawyer or something?"

"Lawyer, no. Studying law, yes."

"So, you haven't finished yet."

"Not yet, I stopped." His replies were short but this conversation really helped him a lot controlling his swirling rage.

"Why?"

"Because I am poor." He stated as a matter of fact. "I am working my ass off to save money so I can feed myself and go back to school again."

Megumi wants to know more about him, but as of now, he can't bring himself to question the man. In the meantime he will settle for that answer, "If you manage to save up go for it, you're good at it."

"I will, I do want to throw people in jail."

Megumi just gave him a side glance. "Want some ice cream?"

___

Megumi sighed as he watched the woman and rolled his eyes when he saw her stunned yet stoic reaction, "So, I assume that this..." he looked at Y/n head to foot, "is that 'the one'?"

Toji only looked at him with no expression or hidden message, yet inside him he wanted to yell 'yes she is, so back off.'

"Yuji's not here..." Y/n muttered again as she scanned the open space of Megumi's condo unit.

"He's here, go to the back...at the pool" Megumi sighed as he turned off the T.V.

Y/n didn't hesitate to dash off to the back, leaving the two Fushiguros. She saw through the clear view from behind the glass walls at the dining area, someone was floating on a pool float holding a cup of ice cream. She slammed the glass door open. Yuji heard the sound and flapped his feet to maneuver himself on the water, only to reveal a flying Y/n towards him.

"Y/...n!" he was happy to see her at first until he realized what would eventually happen to both of them, his wide smile turned into a frightened expression a split second before Y/n landed on top of him, dragging both of them to the bottom of the pool.

Yuji immediately swam on top while trying to drag Y/n above but her clothes were dragging her down, "Y/n, take your jacket off!" he yelled.

But Y/n was just so happy, and all she could do was call Yuji's name to the point she was choking with water, and almost sounds like gargling, "Yuji! you're a-alive! You're alive! I'm... so... so... happy!" she cried in between gurgling sounds.

"Yes, we are but we're going to die now, take your jacket off!"

"I don't know why this is so funny," Megumi smirked at the sight of the two as the two tried to save their lives.

"Add the fact: Two adults drowning in a five-feet pool..." Toji raised his brow with an amused curt grin.

After the life and death fight of two omegas they've finally, peacefully sitting on the edge of the pool, "Yuji, I missed you!" Y/n lunged as she hugged her friend on the side with a cat-like grin. Her drenched clothes were clinging to her body but none of that mattered to her.

"Woah, I do too, be careful." Yuji replied with a shaky voice, clearly terrified of water, "How are you? I haven't seen you in a while, where have you been? Who's with you? Are you eating alright? You've gained weight, I'm so glad!"

"Am I?!" out of all the questions of the pinkette, her focus was on her weight. She didn't hesitate to pull her top off revealing her bra and her cute tummy rolls, "Oh, I did! Look at the rolls! Maybe if you swipe your credit card here, it will spit out some money." She laughed along with Yuji as she joked around.

Yet unbeknownst to them a certain alpha was blushing hard and biting his lip to suppress himself from pinching her cheeks for she's too cute in his eyes.

"But for real, Y/n. I missed you too." Yuji smiled.

"Me too," she mirrored the gesture.

They caught up for a while and laughed at what had happened to them, yet still pain and fear was still there. But both of them were trying to bury those things. Their small chats and giggles died down, and that's when serious silence embraced them.

"Yuji, I have something to tell you." Y/n trailed before she took a deep breath through her nose and let it out from her mouth. "I know, this is hard for you to accept, especially my decision."

The pinkette only gave her a creased brow, urging her to continue.

"But I think I'm getting soft with Toji."

"To who?!"

"Calm down, Yuji, please!" Y/n pulled Yuji down who was about to kick someone's butt. "Please, listen to me."

"Y/n, no. You listen to me," he cupped her cheeks and looked her deep in the eyes, "tell me, tell me... did he threaten you to say that?"

"No, Yuji–"

"Y/n, please. I am your friend. Tell me everything that bothers you."

Y/n was so happy to see that her friend doesn't change, he was and will always be there for her. She can even count on him even in death and life situations, "Yuji, I am so happy to have you." She said, with heartfelt emotion, "But trust me on this one." She whispered.

Yuji sat back down beside her and listened, "Yuji... Toji had suffered so much because of me." This earned a scoff from the boy. "I know what he did gave me trauma, but you helped me through it." She held his hand, and her face shows empathy. "I am more than grateful for what you did. But... I am his mate, I was supposed to be with him and yet I left him for two whole years suffering alone. He has no one beside him for two years, while I... I have you."

Yuji was still adamant to forgive him, he pulled his hand away from her touch but Y/n held his hand tighter, her expression intensifies, "I think he had paid for all the things he had done, all alone. He has no one to turn to... Yuji, he doesn't have anyone... like you to me."

Y/n felt her friend's lack of empathy towards him, "Yuji..." she called his name so softly, almost begging him to understand. Her head fell on his shoulder when she saw him looking at Toji's location.

"Has he ever hurt you while you're with him?" he uttered. His question made her look up at him with a glint on her eyes.

"No, actually quite the opposite." She replied sheepishly.

Yuji looked at her as she blushed hard, yet still tried to hide it with a toothy grin. He was all confused until he finally got it, making his face turn as red as cherry, "Y/n!"

"What can I do, he's good with his–"

"Y/n, stop! I don't want to hear about that!" Yuji hollered and they once again pushed each other to the pool, being a laughing pit.

On the other hand, Toji and Megumi were having a silent treatment with each other as they sat on the reclining seat beside the pool, both of them were on their phone, although both of them were quiet yet the silence was never uncomfortable. But the silence was cut off when Toji sighed heavily.

This caught the younger Fushiguro's attention, "Wow, never in my entire life I will hear you sigh that deep." He commented.

"Yeah, Y/n will eventually help Iori rebuild her cafe, I know it."

"What of it? Are you thinking that she's going to use you? That's part of your life now, Toji. You will have to tend all the needs of your omega." Megumi shut his phone off and took a single sip from his juice. "How ironic it is, that someone like you... an extremely dominant alpha will be submissive, obedient to a single omega. Like a dog on a leash, wagging its tail for a drop of attention."

Toji was just looking from afar, looking to where Y/n was, he took a deep breath and laughed at himself. Megumi was surprised that someone as cold and stoic as him will laugh at his presence, "When an alpha meets their omegas, we are bound to be obedient. You will not yet understand, but once you found your omega, you'll wake up and curse yourself; 'fuck it, I'm whipped'." He gave him a smirk. "Now, I want to see Iori."
