Is it a crime to spend time with the one I love?
Is it?
Kencho Saikou.
You are a real talent, aren't you?
You're still ordering me like I'm your personal slave eh?
So what if your daughter is kidnapped by the Yakuza?
It's your fault for doing shady dealings with them and if there is one thing I know about those assholes, they don't stick to their end of their bargain.
Now he wants me to rescue her.
What a surprise.
When I told him to call the police, he said something about getting arrested for illegal dealings and literally fell to his knees begging me for help!
Then he gave me the money he owed me.
I told him if he wants the job done quickly, he has to triple it and he agreed but this means I have to leave my Beloved alone.
At least I have established a reliable connection with her group of friends. Alice promised to keep an eye on Gwen, but she was angry that I let her live.
I know I should kill her but that won't improve my image in my Beloved's eyes. She already sees me as a monster and is keeping me at arms length because of what I did. I come into a room, she leaves the room. I enter her room, she locks herself in the bathroom reading that stupid book.
Maybe I took it too far with my method of torture but the bitch deserved it.
I hope some alone time will help her come to her senses.
Don't worry sweetheart, I'll come back in time.
I promise.

I am not happy.
Why?
My Beloved is crying over that bitch.
Why is she crying over her?
Could it be she's in love with her?
No!
I don't want to believe it!
I don't want to believe she's in love with that bitch!
I hate her.
I hate her for saying those things to my Beloved.
For trying to guilt trip her into falling in love with her.
Now she's trying to lure her to that haunted mansion.
Well, I can't have that can I?
My duty as her Samurai is to protect her at all costs.
Even if it means eliminating cockroaches like her.
Luckily, Alice says she has a plan but hasn't told me what it is.
I hope she's not planning anything stupid because if she is...
August 5th
8:30AM
Well, I wasn't expecting things to go down this way but I really like it.
I finally killed Gwen and saved my Beloved from the flames of the inferno in that haunted mansion but I'm still having a hard time getting my head around the lunatic and the girl hiding in one of the rooms.
But who cares about them? My Beloved is safe in my arms and that's all that matters.
In three days, we're going to the beach!
Before, I spent my summer accepting missions or sleeping in the park when we first met in the hopes she would come back!
Now I get to spend the summer with her not to mention imagining my Beloved in a bikini makes me shiver with excitement!
I wonder what kind of outfit she bought!
I am so excited.
This is going to be the most memorable summer vacation of our lives.
August 11th
12:30PM
Well, this trip just got interesting.
It's not really clear why the pedophile and his wife decided to join the trip, but the fact that there is a member of the Yakuza only adds to the suspicion.
There is suspicion in my Beloved's eyes, not at the pedophile but at the woman. If I recall correctly, this was the woman she met at school a few nights ago.
But she looks familiar.
Could it be the person who killed my therapist?
Nah.
She looks too soft.
Wait a minute.
She's the one.
And she looks like she's the daughter of a pedophile and that other man is her husband who can't stop staring at my Beloved.
From the way they were staring at my Beloved at the airport, I guess they aren't here for a vacation.
Anyway, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and enjoy this vacation.
August 13th
12:30AM
I am going to buy this place from that bastard's father.
My Beloved loves everything about it! The air, the trees, the activities, everything!
And watching her sleep with a smile on her face makes my heart flutter.
Not to mention my powers are growing just by looking at her.
I could just sit down and watch her sleep all night.
But I can't help but wonder what's going on in that pedophile's family because of how shady his wife is.
I am sorry my love.
I promise to come back soon.
4:30AM
Well, I was right.
That woman is a shady bitch and her daughter well...she seems to follow in her mother's footsteps.
Apparently they know Brianna loves karaoke, so today they told her about the karaoke, club down town but it's not for a worthy cause.
They plan on embarrassing my Beloved on stage!
But the husbands of both women weren't there. Lucky for me, the hotel has a bar, so I headed there first and found Mr. Aishi drunk at the bar table with a cup of whiskey.
Is this the person who wants to spend the rest of his life with my Beloved?
Pathetic.
None the less, I took him back to the hotel room and gave him back to his wife who was shocked to see him in that state.
But his daughter didn't even look at him.
Anyway, I seized the opportunity to snatch the address of the kareoke club from her bag. Initially I wanted to go there immediately to inform them of the change of plans, but it had been an hour since I had last seen my Beloved, so I decided to go back to the hotel room, where she was sleeping soundly.
It looks like I'll have to set a time during the day to go there.
Don't worry Beloved.
I'll turn the tables on them.
The next day...
"Grandpa, grandpa come play with us!" the children cheered tugging Jokichi's hand.
He gave a wiry smile and crouched down to reach the height of his grandsons. "Okay what do you want to play?"
The boys grinned among themselves.
"And do not suggest 'Hide and Seek,'. I don't want you to get lost, okay?" he scolded.
The boys frowned so he suggested they build awesome sand structures instead and got to work. Within hours, they built tiny versions of mechas and were attempting to sculpt a version of Pikachu from 'Pokemon' when the boys started giggling.
"What's wrong?" Jokichi asked and feeling his hair stand on end, he looked behind him.
"Aww! You guys gave me away!" Jake whined.
The boys burst out laughing while Jokichi's face turned white. "H... hi!"
"Hey guys, what are you making?" Jake cried, crouched next to the terrified man.
"Pikachu!" piped the younger one.
Jake hummed in thought. "Well you guys did a good job but you ought to add a bit of sand here, then reduce the sand there..."
Jokichi watched as Jake reshaped the sand sculpture to look exactly like the famous pokemon and the boys cheered when it was done.
"Wow, Mr.! You are cool!" yelled the younger one.
"Say can you teach me how to make that sir?" asked the older one.
Jake grinned. "In a minute but do you mind if I steal your grandpa away for a while?" he wrapped his arm around the shivering man. "We need to kill time for a moment."
The boys gave an 'AWW' of disappointment as Jake hauled the shivering man away to a private place.
"Wha...what do you want?" he asked once they were alone.
"I am really surprised you hate your daughter but you love your grandchildren." Jake began. "But I have noticed you spend more time with your grandson and less time with your granddaughters."
He gave him a side grin. "Why do you do that? Do they remind you of your daughter?"
Jokichi was speechless. "What do you mean? I don't hate my daughter?"
"Really?" Jake smirked, "I snuck into your house which was filled with pictures of you and your wife but none of your daughter."
Jokichi was speechless again.
"Your daughter did something that would make any parent proud so why do you hate her?"
"Ju...just because you don't have pictures of your child doesn't mean you hate her," Jokichi said.
Jake sighed and shrugged. "Well, I don't care about that. I want to know why your wife ordered a hit on my Beloved."
This made Jokishi break out in sweat. "What do you mean?"
Jake took out his phone and played the recording of Hue confessing to Ryoba's part in the hit which nearly made Jokichi's legs buckle.
"Ready to tell me why?"
"I..I don't know."
Suddenly, a hand grabbed his head and something cold was on Jokichi's throat.
"I hate liars Mr. Aishi and you are making me want to kill you," he muttered hiding his anger. "You know something and I want to know what it is."
"I swear! I don't know why she would want her..." but Jake shushed him with a grin.
"You still love her don't you?" Jake whispered. "When I carried you back to the hotel you muttered her name and I bet you were still muttering her name in your drunken sleep right?"
Jokichi's eyes widened in fear and Jake took a step back and took a serious look at him. It's a shame she fell in love with a man who pins for a high school student. All that bloodshed gone to waste. The less said about your son-in-law the better. He just can't seem to take his eyes off her. Both of you are the same."
Anger boiled up in Jokichi when he heard that. "How dare you? I am not a pervert!"
"You look like one to me!"
"I am not a pervert and don't you dare compare me to that asshole called my son-in-law!"
"Why not? You are lusting for her!"
"No! Emma she's..." he paused. "She's like a daughter to me okay?"
Now it was Jake's turn to be angry. "A daughter? Don't make me kill you!"
"I am telling you the truth! I have no romantic feelings towards her at all!" Jokichi cried.
"Bullshit! If you want another child so badly, why don't you make another one with your wife?" Jake snapped.
Jokichi stared at him in shock, then bowed his head in anger. "No,"
"No?"
"I'll never make another child with that monster again!"
"Why?"
Silence hung in the air as the two stared at each other.
Then Jake grinned. "Let me guess, she's the one responsible for the school murders in 2012 right?"
Jokichi's lips trembled as tears welled up in his eyes.
"The series of murders that took place in 2012 looked eerily similar to that of the one back in the 1980s but they stopped once she graduated in 2015. She did that. Right?"
Jokichi cried with tears in his eyes. "All I wanted was a normal family that I could live the rest of my life with. Despite everything she put me through I stayed with her because of my daughter and tried to raise her in the most loving way possible but she ended up being worse than her mother and all for what? For someone who doesn't even love her! So tell me, what have I done to deserve this huh? What?"
Silence hung in the air once again as Jake stared at him with blank eyes, giving him a grim look and closing his eyes. "You know you shouldn't yell Mr. Aishi. She might hear you."
Jokichi quickly did a double check on himself and looked away in shame.
"I am sorry for all that you have been through Mr. Aishi but let me tell you this," then he opened them, "You are not entitled to Emma."
Jokichi looked at him in shock through his tear stained eyes.
"Let me tell you about marriage Mr. Aishi. It is a union between lovers, bound together with a promise to stay together until death does them part. Just like the promise my Beloved made to me a long time ago. Once you make a vow to your spouse, you have to keep that vow no matter what. No one told you not to marry her and no one forced you to sleep with her. You did that on your own accord."
His words made Jokichi give a wiry smile as he recalled their wedding day. How he 'smiled' when he saw her walking towards him in a wedding dress and the vows he gave her.
"I...I didn't have a choice." he bowed his head to hide the pain in his eyes. "And I sleep with her by choice."
"So she raped you then?"
Silence.
"Listen to me Mr Aishi, you have no excuse for your actions and neither does your wife. Emma isn't and will never be your daughter. Besides, as long as your wife doesn't like her, she won't accept being your child."
"Screw that! At least I can be her father figure!" he responds with fire in his eyes.
"She will accept that?"
"You are just saying that because I don't approve of your relationship!"
"And neither will your wife. Emma will be a rival in her eyes and the attempt on her life last night is proof of that."
His words silenced him once again and he looked down.
"Well, I am not here to listen to your lame excuses. I'm just here to pass the message on to your wife. Tell her to stay away from Emma because you are the one responsible for your misery understand?"
Then he turned his back on him and was about to walk away when Jokichi chuckled.
"You are just like her; a yandere."
Suddenly something white flashed before his eyes and he found himself on the ground gasping for air with a knife deadly close to his eye.
"That title belongs to your wife and daughter, you spineless bastard." Jake responded with a smile, "Call me whatever you like. It won't change the fact that she's mine and I'm hers."
With that he released Jokichi and walked away.
