(Class time)

"Which girls are interested in Nemesis-kun?" I mumbled. I made a list of rivals I was dealing with, and so far, the only people I had on my list were Saki, Musume, and Uekiya.

I have to make sure there aren't any more. I know I should be paying attention to what the professor was saying, but I was too distracted. 

When class ended, I packed up my stuff and walked out with my siblings. 

"I got a missed call from Mom. She left a voicemail, saying she and Dad are going out again tonight." Yan-kun informed. "That's sweet." I said.

"I'm gonna stay after a bit longer and spend time with Budo." Ayano informed. "Sounds cool. Speaking of which, Amaya, spend some time with Nemesis-kun, okay?" Yan-kun said. 

"If you needed the house tonight, Yan-kun... All you had to do was ask." I said. Yan-kun blushed, making me smirk.

"I think that's a great idea." Nemesis-kun said in my ear from behind. I turned around and hugged his neck. "I didn't see you all day today." I said.

"I know. I'm sorry about that. I wanted to spend time with you during lunch, but I was stopped by Saki." Nemesis-kun apologized.

'I saw.' I thought as I inwardly frowned. "Go on, lovebirds. Nemesis-kun, if you hurt her, I'll kill you." Yan-kun threatened. 

"What my brother is trying to say, take care of our little sister while we're "busy" with our own thing." Ayano said. 

"Will do." Nemesis-kun said before taking me to his house. "I don't think your brother trusts me all that well." He said. 

"He will. Just give him time," I replied. "When he was flirting with you, you'd think he trusted you by now."

"Just what I was thinking," Nemesis-kun said. "So, what do you wanna do?"

"Well, since you mentioned it..." I pushed him onto the couch, then straddled his lap. "I think this is a perfect time than any to get you back for what did to me under the covers." I said. 

"Oh, you remember that, do you?" Nemesis-kun smirked. "Kind of hard to forget." I replied. I placed my hands on his shoulders and gently kissed his cheek. 

I slowly and teasingly kissed down to his neck while taking off his jacket uniform. 

'Nemesis-kun...I won't let them take you from me. You're mine.'

*****

"Hello?"

"Amaya, are you still at your boyfriend's house? Mom's asking about you."

"She's home already?"

"Uh-huh. Come home, and don't forget to give your Senpai a kiss for me."

"Real funny, Yan-kun."

I hung up, then sighed to myself. "You have to go home?" Nemesis-kun assumed. "Yep." I mumbled. "I'll walk you back." He offered. 

"No, that's okay. My house isn't that far from here. I'll be fine." I said as I sat up from the couch. I kissed Nemesis-kun goodbye, then walked home.

"I'm home." I called. I took my shoes off by the door, then entered the living room. "Welcome home, sweetie. Yan-kun tells me you were over at your Senpai's house." Mom said. 

"I was..." I confirmed. "And how was that?" Mom asked. "It was fine. I had a nice time with him." I answered. "Amaya, can I talk to you for a sec?" Ayano asked. 

"Of course. Excuse me, Mom," I said before following my sister to her room. "What's up?"

"Well... I don't want to alarm you, but I think this is something you should know." Ayano mentioned. "Is it about Nemesis-kun?" I asked. 

"Kind of."

"What is it?"

"How should I put this...? Well, do you know Mina Rai, the girl from the Martial Arts Club?"

"Yeah. What about her?"

"She was talking about Nemesis-kun today, asking about his relationship status."

"Oh... Was she?"

"Yeah. I'd just thought I'd let you know."

"Thank you for bringing this to my attention, Ayano."

I left her room, going to my own. 'Great, now I'll have to kill her, too.' I thought. I closed the door to my room and put up a pictures of Uekiya, Musume, Saki, and Mina. 

I drew a big 'X' over Musume's picture, indicating I already eliminated her. "Before I can eliminate my rivals, I need to know if they are more." I mumbled to myself. 

"Amaya honey, it's your mother. Do you mind if I come in?" Mom called. "Sure, Mom." I called back after quickly covering the bulletin board with a throw blanket. 

Mom walked in and smiled her usual smile at me. "How is my little angel?" She asked, kindly. "Fine," I answered. "What do you need?"

"Well, I was just taking a walk near your school while you were in class, and I thought I'd show you this," She handed me a picture of Nemesis-kun and Efude Nurimono from the Art Club. 

They were talking with each other while walking side by side. 

"I believe this is the Senpai you're dating, right?" Mom asked, in which I nodded my head. "He's not cheating on you, is he?"

"No... No, of course not. I'm sure they're just friends." I said. "But what if they become more than just friends?" Mom asked. 

"It won't happen. I'll make sure of it. Thank you... for showing this to me, Mom."

"No problem, sweetie! Goodnight!" Mom said. She quickly kissed my head, then left the room while closing the door behind her. 

I looked down at the picture of Nemesis-kun and Efude as my eyes were slightly widened. "You're not gonna take him from me, you bitch." I muttered.

Nemesis-kun is mine.

Ryoba's POV

I stood behind Amaya's door as I smirked to myself. 'If my baby girl's anything like her mother, she's capable of taking care of these things herself.' I thought. 

No one will get in the way of my daughter's love. Oh, I'm so proud of her!
