Megumi rang Wataru-kun's doorbell repeatedly, in hopes that it would annoy him enough to come down. She was sure Nago-kun had intimidated the poor boy, and that Wataru needed a helping hand.
"Megumi-san?" Wataru asked hesitantly behind her.
She turned. "Wataru-kun. Are you all right?"
"I'm fine," Wataru-kun said. "It's Nago-san that's sick." He looked at her plaintively. "Megumi-san, can you help me?"
Megumi nodded. "Yes, I can," she said. "Let's go inside." If Nago took issue with her being in Wataru's house, then he could take it up with her.
She followed him up to his workshop, where he offered her tea. He was very domestic, she decided. And very quiet, very easy for Nago-kun to intimidate. She picked up a piece of paper, recognizing Nago-kun's handwriting. "Rules," it said, with a list of rules for Wataru to follow. "Don't talk back, don't talk to any women unless they're customers or serving you, don't get near any Fangire...." Nago-kun seemed ready to run Wataru-kun's life for him. Wataru-kun seemed a little bit weird sometimes, but he seemed like he was an independent adult.
"Nago-san left me a lot of rules," Wataru-kun said, taking the list from her. "I can't think of why he'd think I'm in danger of sleeping with a Fangire."
"I don't know either, Wataru-kun," Megumi said. "How long has he been acting like this?"
"The last time he wasn't acting weird was when I dropped all my change at the cafe," Wataru said. "He looked stunned, but he was okay. I guess he was interested in a button my mother gave me when I was little." He took out a button from somewhere. "But I don't know why it would cause him to act this way."
"I don't know, Wataru-kun, but I'll find out," Megumi promised. "And in the meantime, don't feel obligated to follow his rules if they prevent you from doing anything."
Wataru nodded shyly, and Megumi resolved to find Mio-chan and have her date Wataru-kun. It would make both of them feel better.

Megumi swept into the exercise room that Shima-san always worked at. "Shima-san," she said firmly. "Nago-kun has gone mad."
"Has he?" Shima-san asked. "What did he do, precisely?"
"Well, for one, he kissed Wataru-kun," Megumi said. "And then he claimed it was for the sake of the world. And gave Wataru-kun a list of rules on what he could and couldn't do. Nago-kun needs help."
Shima-san stopped his workout for the moment. "If he's doing what I think he's trying to do..." Shima looked over at her. "Then he's come across some information he's not supposed to, and he's trying to save the world in his own way."
"By kissing Wataru-kun?" Megumi asked skeptically.
"Twenty years ago," Shima-san said, "I accepted a Fangire into the Wondrous Blue Sky organization. She was pregnant. She promised to help us out, and she did, by giving us Kiva. That turned out to be a disaster."
Megumi nodded. She'd known tragic things had happened with the old wielder, but not precisely what.
"That Fangire was Wataru's mother. His father was a human member of the organization." He paused for a moment. "When his mother told me that he could come into his power someday, especially if he knew what it was, I forbade her to ever tell him about it. I figured that Wataru would be easier to deal with if he was raised as a human with no clue of his Fangire heritage. As it is, I've gathered information that Wataru's beginning to come into that heritage. The main thing we have to do is keep him from losing his humanity in the process."
"So, Nago-kun's somehow decided that Wataru needs his life run for him?" Megumi asked. It made a horrible amount of sense.
Shima-san nodded and hauled a cellphone out of wherever he'd been hiding it. "I'm guessing that's what he decided." He made a call. "Yes. Can you make it to the gym as fast as possible? Yes." He hung up the phone. "He'll be here."
"Good," Megumi said, "Because he can't run Wataru-kun's life for him."
"I agree," Shima-san said. "And I'll try to get him to stop."
"Just as long as he's not trying to control everything in sight," Megumi said.
Nago-kun walked in a few minutes later as they continued to talk.
