Hinata answered the question.

  "Alpha."

  Akira smiled slightly,

  "Exactly."

  Akira took his gaze from Hinata and tinued.

  "So, when all the women started choosing strohe weaker ones got jealous. Desire and lust exist in them as well, right?"

  "That's whery came into the picture. I'll bring the moon for you, I'll swim across the river of fire for you. I'll cross the seven seas for you. I'll get you this, I'll get you that."

  "But they never really do anything. The only ones who do something are the…"

  Akira stopped and looked at Hinata, who pleted the sentence,

  "Alpha."

  Hinata took a slow breath, then she raised her eyebrows and lowered her gaze to her feet, then turo Akira.

  "I didn't even realize you were toug my feet."

  Akira blinked slowly then g his hand, which was resting lightly on her foot, he slowly withdrew it.

  Hinata gred at him, but Akira remained unfazed.

  Hinata started walking towards the door.

  "Hinata."

  Akira calls back.

  Hinata stopped and turned slightly.

  "You have a big pelvis."

  Hinata's face darkened and scowled.

  "You mean to say I am fat?"

  Akira shook his head.

  "No no, I'm n to say you are fat."

  "What I mean to say is you have a big pelvis. You aodate healthy babies."Hinata just stared silently.

  …

  Garuda the guardian eagle, opened his eyes clearly woke up from the nap, he got up and stretched his massive wings, sending the blue rose petals that gathered on the floor to scatter.

  He lifted his head to look at the bright moon. Then turowards the approag voice that broke the silehat he enjoyed, a small group with different races walked towards him, garuda got puzzeled them found akira among them.

  Hajime g his small group of friends.

  "Thanks for ing, guys."

  The group responded.

  "It was a great evening, Hajime"

  Akira who was lost in his world, woke up.

  "Hajime…"

  Hajime turoward him, squinting slightly.

  "Yeah?"

  "Is there any ce that I marry Hinata?"

  "What?"

  Akira repeated.

  "Is there a ce?"

  Hajime shook his head in disbelief.

  "Dude, What are you saying? Are you crazy?"

  "Are you here for Uncle's birthday party or to break off her e?"

  "Fet about that, Could you talk to your dad?"

  Akira dismissed the ent,

  "Oh hey, rex"

  Hajime g garuda and warned,

  "You should leave."

  Akira said after a moment of thought,

  "This drama all started because of your aunt."

  "Think about it, Out of all your friends, why did she only address me as "brother". Your aunt must have seen something in Hinata's eyes, which made your aunt tell her to call me that."

  Hajime looked at Akira like he was staring at an idiot.

  "I already proposed to her, on my sixteenth birthday."

  "16th?, And what about her?"

  Hajime asked while Akira replied."She was thirteen."

  "Then it bees fourteen aeen. And she said yes."

  Hajime mused.

  "What do you mean she said yes?"

  Akira shrugged,

  "She said yes means she said yes. She even invited me to her house. That was the same day your aunt visited."

  Akira mimicked that older woman's voice.

  "Who is he, Hinata?"

  Then he mimicked Hinata's voice to answer himself.

  "A friend of Hajime, Aunty."

  Switg again he added,

  "Oh, your brother's friend… then he is also your brother, Now call him Brother"

  Seeing the mimig Akira, Laughter erupted from the group.

  Akira turned and barked at them,

  "Don't you dare ugh!"

  "Did Hinata ever call any one of you "brother"?"

  Akira demanded, Sing the group left and right.

  "No"

  Akria asked again.

  "In academy or after academy?"

  "No, Never"

  Akira turned from them to Hajime.

  "She calls me brother when I'm with them… but uses my name when we're alone."

  One of them from the group added.

  "Yeah… I've noticed that too."

  Akira tinued.

  "That very night, I fell ill with a high fever."

  Hajime scoffed,

  "e on, Fever? Really?"

  Akira excimed.

  "If you push yourself to the limit and then suddenly stop, won't your body react? I had a high fever that night."

  Akira gestured towards below with his eye,

  "Ask her, she must have had it too. I'm one hundred pert sure!"

  Hajime groaned.

  "Man, if you knew all this… where have you been until now?"

  Akira excimed,

  "I didn't know you all would be so eager to get her married. And it's not like these emotions have suddenly resurfaced today. This feeling was, is, and will always be there."

  Hajime shook his head.

  "Akria, Stop ag like a child. She's getting married in two days and leaving just after."

  Akira frowned.

  "She's not going anywhere."

  Hajime asked sharply,

  "What?"

  Akira repeated slowly.

  "She's not going anywhere."

  Hajime mocked,

  "Do you think you just call her and she'll e to you?"

  Akira's grinned,

  "She'll e running to me."

  At that very moment, the door to the top floor and Hinata appeared, she stopped just at the entrand stared at the boys, who iurn stared at her theurowards hajime who had his back to her with akira fag her.

  "Brother!"

  Akira smriked at hajime,

  "She's talking to you."

  Hajime turo face her to which she replied.

  "Dad wants to talk to you."

  Hajime frowned but nodded and walked past her leaving the versation.

  Meanwhile, Hinata and Akira gazed at each other, as if finding the clue, garuda fpped his wings and raised into the air.

  Akira took his eye from Hinata and jumped onto the back of Garuda, With a single powerful fp of its wings, Garuda took off from the Blue Rose Mansion, disappearing into the dark sky.
