And thus starts a new arc: Jealousy. Haha, don't hide those smiles, you people. A jealous Yahiro is very attractive. (Actually... any type of Yahiro is attractive if you ask me.)

Anyways, this and the next few chapters will be about jealousy between the Yahiro/Megumi couple.

Yahiro glared. This was completely unfair.

"Mm~!" Megumi practically had hearts in her eyes as she indulged in her number one love in the world.

"Why exactly did you call me over?" the Saiga heir said grumpily as he watched his girlfriend swallow another thick mouthful of chocolate.

"Hah shuh shockarit."

"Don't use your voice," Yahiro snapped. "I can't even understand what you're saying."

\Have some chocolate./

She smiled brightly as she held out her sign. Yahiro sighed.

"I got you a chocolate factory, and you're just going to eat everyday?"

Megumi shrugged. \If Yahiro got it for me, what's the point of letting it go to waste?/

She happily bit into another large, fresh bar of chocolate. Yahiro coughed, trying again.

"Oh, come on! You're hanging out with the man you're in love with, and you're just going to waste your time eating chocolate?"

\Chocolate isn't a waste of time!/

"Still haven't gone onto that diet I see," he said snidely.

A long silence fell between them.

"…Yahiro."

"Don't use your voice."

"Chocolate is worth it."

Yahiro scoffed. "It's just chocolate! And what did I say about your voice?!"

"Yum, yum, chocolate," Megumi teased.

Yahiro had to take a deep breath to calm down. Stupid chocolate, stupid girlfriend, stupid girlfriend using her stupid voice for this stupid chocolate!

That voice is mine!

"Are you, by any chance, jealous that I'm spending my time with chocolate?" she asked in disbelief as she broke into his thoughts.

The silence that followed was even longer than last time.

"Why would I be jealous of chocolate?!" he yelped. "It's unhealthy, doesn't actually taste that good, and it's… it's… it's just stupid, okay!?"

Megumi had to bite her lip to hold down the enormous laugh that threatened to bubble out. Yahiro, cool, uncaring, bad boy Saiga Yahiro, was being childish because he was jealous of chocolate.

"F- Fine!" Yahiro finally snapped, cheeks red. "See what I care!"

Megumi giggled and stuck out her tongue as he stomped out, leaving her surrounded by her piles of sweet, decadent delights.

Several days later, Megumi knocked on Yahiro's front door, feeling slightly apologetic. She didn't have to rub her love for chocolate, right in her clearly jealous boyfriend's face.

She waited for a few minutes, until a maid opened the door.

"May I help you?"

\Is Yahiro here?/

"Yahiro-sama is in the garden in the back," the maid bowed. Megumi smiled in thanks, and walked through the side gate.

"Welcome, Megumi."

Megumi paused, and her eyes widened as she saw the boy of her dreams surrounded by blooming, pink roses.

\Yahiro…?!/

"Have you met the roses in my garden?" he said smugly, as he brought a pink flower to his face. Megumi raised an eyebrow.

\What are you doing?/

"What does it look like? I'm giving the flowers some…" Yahiro's voice lowered, and Megumi's breath hitched ever so slightly at his deep tone.

"…affection," he murmured, his warm breath brushing against the silky petal. Megumi's jaw dropped ever so slightly, before she caught it and bit her lower lip.

\I'm not… that's nice./ she managed to "blurt" out, hoping Yahiro didn't see her swallow.

"Ara, Megumi-chan!" Yahiro's voice was tinged with glee. "You wouldn't happen to be jealous of the flowers, would you?"

\Why would I be jealous of a-?/

Megumi almost dropped her board, as Yahiro pressed his lips against the softness of the rose's center.

\You… You…/

"…wish you were a flower, huh?" Yahiro smirked, as Megumi fumed, glaring at the flower.

….those lips are mine!
