A/N: This update is dedicated to Mayuyu~ Happy Birthday Mayuyu <3 And yeah, this is the last part of my first smut sexy Mayuki OS. Please enjoy and let's celebrate Mayuyu's birthday together~Bitter Dream [Part 2]
“Come here, girl. Let me hear your erotic moans. My buddy down here can’t wait any longer.”
“No! Get lost!”
“You look delicious. A pure virgin, huh? No one have touched you before? OK then I’ll be gentle on you.”
“Get away from me!”
“She looks cute. I wonder if her inside is the same. Let’s eat!”
“No! Don’t touch me!”
“Someone! Please help me! No! NO! Please don’t!”
“NO!!!!”
Shouting as loud as she could, Mayu sat up like a rocking toy. She was panting heavily while her sweats were flowing on her forehead like waterfall. Her heart beat rapidly, almost felt like it wanted to jump out of her chest. It took her a minute to finally realize that she was just dreaming.
“Damned it… What a nightmare…” She cursed quietly. Caressing her wet forehead, she calmed herself down by breathing slowly and steadily. When she was calm at last, Mayu realized she didn’t wear her casual clothes. Instead, she was wearing pink pajama, the one that she had never seen in her closet. Furthermore, she was sitting on a neat white bed, which smelled like some expensive girl perfume. Taking a look at her surrounding, she found herself in a pink and white bedroom, an ordinary girl’s bedroom, not a hotel one. The yellow sunlight lightening the white curtain gave her a notice that it was already morning.
“Where am I?” She looked for more details that could help her to identify her current location. She just knew that she wasn’t at that creepy hotel anymore. And that helped her to feel relieved already. Suddenly, she noticed the white Iphone on the studying table next to her bed. Looking closer, the Black Marimokkori strap attached to the phone gave her an idea of where she was. “So this is Yuki’s bedroom… It has changed a lot since the last time I visited her… Wait… How did I get here?”
Right at that moment, the door was opened. Stepping inside was no other than the owner of the room. Yuki was in her casual clothes, holding a tray with a glass of fresh water and a blister pack of pills. As she entered the room, Yuki noticed an unfamiliar sitting figure. Her facial expression turned from surprised to relieve when she saw Mayu was finally awaken.
“Mayuyu! You’re up. Thank God.” Yuki exclaimed happily.
“Yukirin…” Mayu replied softly since she couldn’t speak loudly. Her dry throat was killing her.
“You must be thirsty now.” Yuki quickly sat down next to the bed and placed the tray onto the floor. She opened the pack and took a pill from it. Then she gave it to Mayu along with the water glass. “Here. Take this. It’s just pain killer.”
“Thanks, Yukirin.” Mayu drank the pill and gulped down the whole glass of water like she hadn’t drunk for weeks. As her throat felt better, she finally released the glass and gave it back to Yuki, who placed it on top of the tray.
“How do you feel now, Mayuyu?” The older girl asked in concern.
“My body is still a little bit numb. I felt pretty weak. Maybe that explains why I had a nightmare and I don’t remember anything about how I got into your house.”
Hearing the girl’s answer, Yuki made a sad look. “What kind of nightmare did you have?”
“Well… Some old hags tried to rape me… I think they were some business associates with Akimoto-sensei. They said I was their chick in exchange of the contract that would help my career.” Mayu rubbed her forehead and smiled to Yuki. “It was just a nightmare. It would never happen in real life, right Yukirin?”
However, unexpectedly, the other remained silent, wearing a sad expression on her face while staring at Mayu. This made the cyborg’s smile fade away. Mayu was smart enough to tell from Yuki’s silence that her nightmare did actually happen to her. Her eyes opened widely as her fear rose. Her body was vibrating and sweats soaked her face once again.
“D-Don’t tell me… I’m….” She stuttered. She looked down on her body, feeling disgusted that she was now filthy. Tears were already rolling on her cheeks. Her hands turned white from gripping tightly on the bed sheet.
“Mayuyu… Don’t cry. Your body is fine. Those guys hadn’t touched you yet… At least the inside…” Finally, Yuki spoke. She comforted the girl by leaning a little bit forward and wiped away the cyborg’s tears.
“B-But… the nightmare was real… then they did touch me… How isn’t my body filthy?” The younger said in shaky voice. Her sobs prevented her from talking fluently.
“Yes… What happened at the hotel was real… But we saved you before those men could do anything to you. You were already faint at that time so you probably don’t remember anything. It’s true… You’re still fine, Mayuyu.”
Hearing that, Mayu calmed down a little bit. She wasn’t sobbing anymore but her tears wouldn’t stop flowing from her eyes. She slowly looked at Yuki. She was so confused. There were so many things that she didn’t understand. It was completely a mess in her mind.
“… How did you save me…? Those guys are way stronger than you…”
“I did say “we”, didn’t I? Rena and Jurina were with me so we were able to save you.” Yuki smiled and patted Mayu’s head gently.
“… I thought they were in Nagoya?”
“They canceled their schedules. They were with me for the whole night.”
“…” A pause came from the younger girl. “… So you knew all these things would happen to me beforehand?”
“… Yes…” Yuki replied in a sad voice. She avoided Mayu’s gaze and turned away, not wanting to face the girl anymore. “I’ve always known this would happen to you and other younger members some days…”
“… How?” Mayu blinked as she finally realized something. She remembered the issue happened on Yuki’s 18th birthday. And now seeing the strange action of Yuki, she finally understood everything. “Yukirin… Are you… on your 18th birthday… This happened to you, am I right…?”
Hesitantly, Yuki slowly nodded, not facing the younger girl. “Not only on my 18th birthday, Mayuyu… That day was just the beginning of my nightmare… And every adult member’s too… Every week…”
Mayu was speechless. She was too shocked to say anything. This wasn’t what she used to think about being an idol as she was little. This dark side of fame was way too much for her.
“… They were right… You were right then… Nothing is free… and it isn’t a dream…” A low dark voice came from the cyborg’s dry lips. Yuki remained silent as the cyborg continued. “I didn’t know about this beforehand like you did on your 18th birthday. Maybe they knew if I knew, I would refuse to come.”
“… Not really. I think the reason why they didn’t tell you was that they just wanted to enjoy having some fun rape… Even if you refused to go, they would eventually force you to… They have the power that could even stop every member, including me, in the group from telling you anything…”
“Fun rape? What the hell is that?” Mayu exclaimed angrily.
“It is what it’s called. The associates may ask for some resistance during that so it’s called rape. The ones that are told to do this beforehand, like me, usually show less resistance since they are voluntary.”
“Wait… You volunteered to do this?” Mayu asked in shock.
“… I have no choice, Mayuyu…” Yuki lowered her voice. She was in edge of crying when her voice was shaking. “I’m powerless to avoid this… I can’t even graduate… They won’t allow me until they find someone can replace me…”
“… That’s why Maeda-san can graduate… Because I’m her replacement…” Mayu said to herself.
“I’m sorry, Mayuyu… I’m really sorry…” And with that, the older girl broke into tears. She couldn’t hold back anymore as she was suffering in pain for many years. Seeing her friend crying, Mayu almost forgot about her own sake. Even though her body was still weak due to the drug, she still tried to lean forward and hug the older girl, which startled the sobbing girl.
“It’s not your fault, Yukirin. I should be the one who apologizes now… I should have listened to you that night… And I should have been more sensitive to realize how much you have been suffering through these years… I’m sorry… I’ve failed as being your best friend and your daughter.” Yuki felt the hands on her back were tightening their grip on her shirt. She looked down and saw Mayu buried her face deeper into her crook of neck. “I promised you that I’ll trust you… but yet I didn’t and got myself in danger. I promised you that I’ll protect you… But in the end, you protected me and suffered by yourself without me realizing it… I’m a horrible person…”
Shivering, Yuki suddenly felt her neck was soaked. Like instinct, she hugged the girl, patting her head gently to comfort her. “It’s fine, Mayuyu… I couldn’t tell you about this even I wanted to, since it would be dangerous for both of us. I don’t know what they would do but it wouldn’t be good definitely. I’m happy that you care about my safety and that’s enough already. Life is cruel and we can’t do anything about it.”
“… No… There is something we can do…” Suddenly, Mayu spoke up. She pushed herself away from Yuki’s neck slowly as her sobs disappeared. Yuki looked at her in surprise since she didn’t understand what the girl just said.
“Thanks for cheering me up but Mayuyu, you know we are powerless. We can’t do anything to save our lives. Maybe you’re saved last time but I don’t guarantee this won’t happen to you again.”
“I know, Yukirin. I think I can save us, from everything.” Mayu said firmly.
“What?” Yuki raised an eyebrow.
“We’ll graduate and that solves everything.”
“…Wait… Didn’t you hear me before? I said we can’t graduate until someone replaces us.”
“Yes, that’s true. But how about scandals?”
“Scandals?” Yuki exclaimed surprisingly.
“The fact that I didn’t know anything about this prostitution before I almost became a victim shows that no one knows about this except for the people in the showbiz. Am I right?” Mayu held Yuki’s shoulders and shook the girl gently.
“Well yes… But what are you planning?”
“I’m thinking if this is revealed to every newspaper and become a big scandal; the managers and the people involved will either lose their job or go to jail.”
“… That may work… But that means our idol careers will be gone too… Are you going to throw your dream away, Mayuyu?” With that, the atmosphere became tense. Mayu kept silent and slowly released Yuki’s shoulders. She looked down on her laps. Her lips curved up, forming a faint smile.
“This… is not my dream, Yukirin… I’ve always wanted to be an idol… But this is not it… You were right… It’s nightmare. I don’t want to be an idol anymore. I just want to live a peaceful life for now. I really hate seeing my precious people getting hurt without me doing anything. I have to stop this. I know I can and I will do it, for sure.”
“Mayuyu…”
“What about you, Yukirin?” Mayu slowly looked up, staring at the older girl’s eyes. “You’ve been standing these pains for so long. Are you going to keep doing this?”
The girls stared at each other’s eyes for so long that it felt like years had passed already. Each of them had their own reasons for being quiet. Mayu was waiting for Yuki’s answer. As for the other girl, she was having a mixture of feelings inside her. Yuki knew she could get out of this a long time ago. But there was a reason for her to stay and bear with everything. Yuki smiled before she broke the silence.
“No. If you decide to go, I’ll go with you.”
“Really? You will? Then why did you stay before? You can just leave here on your own.” Mayu asked in disbelief.
Yuki didn’t answer right away. She paused for a few seconds then let out a sigh.
“Ne, Mayuyu. Do you know why I’m doing this for the whole time?”
“I wanted to ask you the same thing… But I was afraid that you wouldn’t tell me like three years ago…” Mayu looked away and pouted. Seeing this, Yuki giggled at the cuteness.
“I didn’t tell you three years ago because both of us are still too young to make a decision in our lives. But now, you’re an adult already. You know what you’re doing. So do I. That’s why I’m going to tell you the truth.” Before she continued, Yuki caressed Mayu’s cheek gently, making the girl to look at her. “I’m still here, going through this nightmare until now because of you, Mayuyu.”
“Eh?” Mayu exclaimed surprisingly. Her mind was still trying to analyze the unknown information that Yuki just gave her. But yet it failed its own task. Seeing the dumbfounded face the younger girl, Yuki smiled amusingly.
“Back then, when we started getting along with each other and putting this mother-daughter acting, I’ve grown a feeling towards you. Since I was still young, I wasn’t sure what feeling that was. When I was looking at you, I saw a childish and vulnerable girl that made me want to do anything to protect her. I wanted to see your smile and our endless spiritual power. I wanted to see you happy. That was why when I was told to do this kind of thing on my 18th birthday, I had a fight with myself. My mind told me to run away and protect myself. But my heart said I needed to stay to protect you. I had to be with you when this happened to you…” Yuki paused for a moment. Her hand moved away from Mayu’s and landed on her own laps. “I was so confused, not knowing what I should do. But then you came to me, offering to protect me. You were just 15 back then so I found it quite amusing to hear that. But I was so happy, a lot. I knew you also cared about me. Therefore, I chose to follow my heart. I’ve been going through this just to make sure I would save you from this terrible nightmare. I don’t want you suffer it like I do.”
“…” Mayu was speechless because of Yuki’s confession. Or rather be, she was shocked. Too shock to know how much Yuki cared about her. The girl sacrificed her self-respect and her sake in order to protect Mayu. It was too much for the young girl to handle. She had been treating Yuki badly without knowing how many things the captain had done for her. The thought of her own guilt made Mayu let her tears flow. She couldn’t hold them back anymore. She was so guilty and sorry for Yuki, sacrificing too much for a horrible person like her.
“Eh? Mayuyu?!? Why are you crying?” Seeing the younger girl’s tears, Yuki panicked. She didn’t know why Mayu cried exactly but she just concluded that she made the girl cry. “I-I’m sorry Mayuyu… I shouldn’t have told you that… I’m sorry for making you cry.”
“…” Mayu’s lips were moving but no words were heard.
“Nani? What did you say?” Yuki asked while leaned forward a little bit to cut off the distance between her and Mayu.
“I said… Baka!” This time, Mayu spoke louder, almost too loud that she looked like she was shouting at Yuki, which caused the older girl to jump back a little. With her eyes were still wet because of her tears, Mayu said loudly to Yuki, who was still confused. “It’s not your fault to make me cry… I should be the one who apologizes, not you… I’m sorry, Yukirin… I have been so stupid and dense that I made you suffer alone… You’re too kind, Yukirin… I don’t deserve for your kindness.”
“Don’t say that, OK?” Yuki said as she was caressing the younger girl’s cheek, wiping the remaining tears away. “You’re better than enough for me to do that. After all, you’re my daughter, my best friend, and my most precious person. I have no regret for caring about you in the way I am now.”
Time slowly slipped away as the two pairs of copper eyes stared at each other. Two souls melted and became one. Mayu could feel it. She could feel her heart beating strongly. As if it was trying to tell her that her feeling for Yuki was the same one that the older girl had for her, whatever it was called. The room was so quiet that the girls’ heartbeats could be heard clearly. They beat in rhythm, playing a harmony that soothed any pain in the world. Feeling her cheeks burning, Mayu finally gave out a smile, to tell that she understood what Yuki meant. They didn’t need to say anything since they already knew the answers. They had the same feeling for each other.
“Yukirin… I promise I’ll do everything to get us out of here. I’m sure my plan is going to succeed in order to make up for everything you have done for me.” Breaking the silence, Mayu gently said to Yuki with a smile. But soon later, her smile faded away and was replaced by a serious face. “But I can’t do it alone… I need some helps…” Seeing that, Yuki curved up her lips. She leaned forward to plant a soft kiss on Mayu’s forehead, causing the girl to blush lightly.
“Don’t worry. I’m always with you. If you need help then I’ll be always available.”
“Well… I still need more helps…”
“Hmmm… Tell me your plan first then I’ll see what I can do.”
“My plan is to reveal the truth to the publicity. I’ll record or film a member going with those businessmen and then give it to the newspapers or television companies. When this becomes a big scandal, either the managers and those who are involved in this scandal will go to jail or AKB48 will be disbanded. Then we’ll not only save us, but also other members who have and almost have suffered this nightmare.” Mayu told Yuki what her plan was and received some agreeing nods from the older girl.
“It may work… But it’s not an easy success. How can you bring a recorder or a camera with you to the meeting, recording everything without getting caught?”
“Don’t worry about that part. I’ve made a hidden camera at home while I was playing with some gadgets during my day-offs. It looks like an earring so no one would suspect anything.” Mayu said proudly.
“Wait… How did you… Never mind… I’ll never understand how your cyborg mind works. Sometimes, I wonder if you didn’t become an idol, maybe you would be another Einstein.” Yuki let out a sigh before continued, ignoring the amusing giggle of Mayu. “Your plan isn’t so guaranteed. But we’ll never know if we don’t try. Tell me more details so I can know why you need more people.”
“Well, someone has to wear the hidden camera that I made and goes to a meeting. In that meeting, that person has to make the men to say everything about this dirty business behind the spotlight of idols in order to get good evidence. The whole things will be filmed and before the person gets raped, she will be rescued like I was last night. And then the record will be transferred immediately to the nearest newspaper before the managers, or even Akimoto-sensei, have their hands on it.”
“Hmm… In that case, maybe we could ask Rena and Jurina for help. Well, at least I can trust them on the rescuing part. They are strong enough to beat those guys, especially Rena with her kendo practicing sword.”
“I’m thinking about asking them too… But do you think they will agree to help us?” Mayu scratched her cheek.
“I’m not sure. But Rena doesn’t want Jurina to go through this, like me. And I think she has enough already so probably they will agree.”
“OK, we’ll ask them about that later. For the most important role, I think after what happened last night, Akimoto-sensei will be pretty mad about me and I’ll be sent to another meeting for sure. So I guess I’ll do the fi-“
“Wait. Who said you can take that role?” Angrily, Yuki interrupted Mayu, startling the girl with her black aura. “You almost gave me a heart attack last night when you were fainting, lying on a bed with only your bra and panty on and having 3 nasty perverts touching your body. I’ll never allow that to happen again.”
“If I don’t do that then who will?”
“Me.” Yuki said firmly. Of course, Mayu would never agree with that.
“No way. 3 years are way too enough for you. They haven’t touched me yet so let me do it.”
“Because they haven’t touched you, I don’t want you to do it. No one is allowed to touch you anymore. I’ve taken enough of it already. Last night is enough for me!” Yuki shouted in frustration, sending herself to the edge of crying. Tears were already formed in the corners of her copper eyes. The hurtful look broke the cyborg’s icy heart. It was rare to see Yuki in this state. And it wasn’t a pleasant view.
Finally giving in, Mayu let out a sigh. A sad smile hovered over her rosy lips as she caressed the older girl’s cheek to comfort her. “OK, you can take the role. But in one condition, you have to promise me that you’ll alert us before something bad happens to you. I don’t want to be late again. I don’t want to see you suffer anymore. I want to protect you, Yukirin.”
“I know, Mayuyu… I know…” Yuki smiled sweetly to the girl as she leaned against the soft small hand on her cheek. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the relaxing warmth coming from the palm.
“You’re really baka, Bakarin.” The cyborg giggled.
“And you know me too well, Mayuyu.”
“Whatever. Let’s go to my house and get prepared soon. I doubt that my manager would let me go that easily. You should call Rena and Jurina too.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
O~o~O~o~O
Another night of team B stage performance, the members once again tried their best to give the audiences the best performance they could do. As usual, the performance went smoothly, with the absence of their ace, Watanabe Mayu. The fans noticed the young cyborg didn’t perform, as her center position was replaced by the captain, Kashiwagi Yuki. Some of the fans were worried since they didn’t hear of any news about Mayu’s absence for that day performance. But since they didn’t want to upset the captain, who was pushing herself to do her best to replace the ace, the wotas still cheered for the girl excitingly.
After the performance, the girls left the stage and went to their changing room, chatting lively on their way. The last one to leave was no other than the responsible captain. She walked down the hallway, heading to the changing room by herself. Her face was soaked in sweats but showed no exhaustion. She bowed at every single staff she met on her way and thanked them for the good work. As she was reaching the room, a figure caught her off guard. It was Mayu’s manager, who was standing next to the door of the changing room, cursing at the cellphone on his hand.
“Damned it. Why would she choose today to get sick? What am I going to do with her appointment tonight?”
Yuki stood there, listening to every single word from the manager. Tightening her grip on her uniform and cleaning her throat, she slowly approached the man in caution.
“Anou… Kudou-san?”
The captain called the manager softly, which quickly got the attention of the man. Seeing Yuki standing in front of him, his rage got even worse.
“What do you want, Kashiwagi? I haven’t talked with you about what you and the WMatsui did last night.” The man replied in anger.
“I know I made a big mistake last night. I know Mayu is sick and can’t go to the meeting tonight so in order to repay for my mistake, I want to ask you to let me replace her.”
“What?” The manager raised an eyebrow. “You’re volunteering to replace Watanabe? Seriously?”
“Yes. I’m very serious here. If I don’t go, then who will? You can’t make a sick girl to do this kind of… job, or whatever you call it.” Yuki lowered her voice, showing that she was deadly serious.
“Hmm… You got a point there…” The manager observed Yuki from her head to her toes. “You’re favored by most of our associates anyway… OK then I’ll call them to make a replacement. During that, get yourself prepared. You have 4 people to serve.” The man quickly made a call on his phone.
“Hai. Wakairimashita.” Yuki bowed at the manager and then entered the changing room. Flashing some fake smiles when a member greeted her, Yuki grabbed her bag in the corner and made her way to the toilet.
Clocking the door to ensure there was only her in the toilet, Yuki let out a heavy sigh and leaned on the door.
“Yesterday was three. Today is four. What’s Mayu to them? A prostitute robot girl? I didn’t even serve more than 2 people at the same time. Damned it.” Yuki cursed quietly.
Slowly sliding down the door, Yuki sat down, burying her face into her knees. She wasn’t afraid of going to the meeting. She had been doing this for 3 years so there was no reason for her to be afraid. What she was worried was Mayu’s plan itself. What if it failed? They would face a horrible punishment for rebelling. Everyone involved, including the WMatsui, would go through their worst nightmare. Imagining Mayu getting affronted by several pervert ugly old men, it sent her a chill in her spinal cord, burning her mind in the flame of rage. Her knuckles turned pale as she tightened her grip to control her anger.
“Please, Kami-sama. If you could at least save Mayu, I would pay my life for all my sins I have done in the past years. I’m begging you, Kami-sama. Lend me your strength tonight.”
Praying in her heart, Yuki finally gained her strength to push herself up. Imitating the motionless expression of the cyborg, she hastily changed into her casual clothes and redid her makeup. Looking at herself in the mirror, she fixed her raven silky hair one more time. Ensuring she looked good, Yuki dug her hand into her bag again and took out a white earing. It had a small round black gem attached on it, which was actually a mini camera. Mayu had carefully disguised it in order to help this plan succeed so Yuki would never allow herself to fail. Not this time.
Staring at the small earring in her hand, Yuki’s lips slowly curved up into a weak smile, encouraging herself. After a few seconds, she decided to wear the earring on her left ear and tugged her hair onto her right shoulder, making her become even more gorgeous.
“Gambare, Yukirin. You can do it. For the sake of Mayu and others.” said the captain, who was looking at herself in the mirror. Inhaling deeply, she put her things into her bag then went out of the toilet. On her way out, she received some greetings form other members, whom she replied back with a smile. Then, she walked out of the changing room to meet up with the devil, Mayu’s manager.
“Our cab is waiting outside. Are you ready, Kashiwagi-san?” asked the man, with a little of tease in his tone.
“Yeah right. You know it’s not my first night, don’t you?” Yuki replied sarcastically.
“Well, your first time serving this many people.”
“Please don’t remind me of the number or I’ll kill you.” Yuki lowered her voice, still wearing her “sweet” smile. Her face darkened as her mind was boiled in anger. Tonight wasn’t originally her job. It was Mayu’s. Imagining the small girl screaming and struggling for help in the arms of four old men gave her an urge to punch the man standing in front of her, like how she did as Black in Majisuka Gakuen. However, it seemed that her black smile scared a hell out of the manager. He didn’t dare to say anything more and just walked away.
Yuki followed him soon later and both of them got into the taxi. During their way to the hotel, Yuki felt extremely nervous, as she kept touching the earring. It wasn’t her first night but yet she couldn’t stay calm as she was having a mission that could affect many people’s lives. Outside, she remained cool in order to fool the manager sitting beside her. However, inside, she felt like she was sitting on fire. Even though it was just the beginning of spring, but she felt so hot like she was in the middle of summer.
“We’re here, Kashiwagi-san. Let’s go.” Suddenly, the manager called for her. Yuki was so busy with her own thought that she didn’t realize the taxi had stopped in front of their destination.
The captain sighed quietly then got off. Adjusting her bag on her shoulder, she walked steadily toward the hotel along with the manager. Only until her back completely disappeared behind the door, three sneaky figures slowly moved away from the small valley nearby. The triples wore black glasses and hats that could cover their identities. But with their outfits and the way they sneaked around, they would be mistaken as thieves if they got caught.
“Mayu-chan, are you sure this is the place?” A girl with shoulder-length hair whispered to the shortest girl.
“Yes. I saw Yuki walking into it. I even checked the address. This is it.”
“So, should we go in now?” The palest girl among them asked.
“Yeah. Let’s go.” Mayu suggested. The girls carefully approached the entrance of the hotel. Peeking inside, they watched the team B captain walking into the elevator with the manager. As the two aforementioned people vanished behind those doors of the lift, the three stalkers quickly ran toward to it and looked at the digital board to identify which floor they were going to. They stood there, waiting for less than a minute, watching the red digital number to increase until it stopped at “5”.
“5th Floor, isn’t it?” Jurina asked.
“It is. Now hurry. We need to know which room they are.” Mayu hastily replied then headed to the stairs.
“Oi, Mayu-chan! You may want to hop on my back. I’ll carry you. It’s faster.”
“Don’t underestimate my short legs, you baka puppy! Shut up and let’s go!”
~o~o~o~o~o~
You may know, if we all got what we wanted then we would end up getting nothing at all. It was true in many cases, for example lottery. If everyone won the lottery, then the price would be divided. And each person wouldn’t get much money from it. In Mayu’s case, it was the same. Life is not easy to anyone, no exception. Mayu’s plan was not excluded from the cruelness of this circle of life. She couldn’t escape her fate, and the same happened to other members.
They had following their plan pretty well. They found where Yuki’s room was by waiting outside the hallway and seeing where the manager got out from. Mayu and the Double Matsui approached the door of the room after the manager had disappeared from their sight. They waited outside and listened carefully to any sound coming from the other side. Mayu had her ear pinched on the door, hearing unclear mumbles. Surely, the cyborg knew that the captain was doing her job, getting the men to tell all the truth behind the bright life of an idol.
After about 15 minutes, the conversation had ended, or it was what Mayu assumed, when the cyborg heard Yuki’s uneasy groans. Her heart ached each time she heard her beloved captain’s voice, but she didn’t dare to act yet. She didn’t know for sure if the conversation has ended.
“Hey Mayu… Yuki sounds odd… Should we break in now?” Rena whispered quietly.
“Wait a minute… We aren’t sure if she has recorded everything.”
“But Mayu-chan… I don’t think Yuki-san is in a good state inside…” Jurina hesitantly said, as more groans and even resistant shouts came. “We need to do something now.”
“Damn it! Let’s save her, girls!” Mayu spoke in anger, when her blood was spoiled by the image of Yuki getting touched by several nasty old men.
“OK, leave the door to me.” Jurina smirked when she did a warm-up for her leg. “Move out.”
Mayu and Rena stayed away from the door, allowing Jurina to kick the door away, surprising the people behind it. When the door was completely opened, the girls had a clear view on what was happening. Two of the four men were in the middle of undressing themselves while the others were holding the poor captain down on the couch. About Yuki’s condition, she had both of her arms held over her head when her shirt was torn, revealing her black lacy bra. The captain had some tears forming in the corner of her eyes but her smile quickly bloomed on her dried lips when her rescue team was in the sight.
Not wanting to waste any minute, Mayu and the Double Matsui quickly move in act. The kendo master used her wooden practicing sword to knock out the half-naked men, when the kissing monster kicked the men away from Yuki, leaving an opening for Mayu to drag the captain away. Quickly put her jacket on Yuki’s body, Mayu made a quick check on the earring before shouting.
“OK we’ve got everything! Let’s leave before the manager comes back!”
However, the cyborg had miscalculated a detail. She should have never underestimated anyone, especially her manager.
“You mean me, Watanabe?”
To her horror, the manager had already been waiting for them outside, with several men, waiting to capture them.
~o~o~o~o~o~
Mayu decided to spend her night at Yuki’s place, since the captain’s parents were going on a trip until the day after tomorrow. Yuki quietly opened the door and stepped aside, letting Mayu to enter. However, from the time they left Aki-P’s office, the young girl kept her head down, didn’t dare to look at the other girl. She said nothing and just went to her destination like a programmed robot. Silently, Mayu headed to Yuki’s room with no difficulty since it wasn’t the first time she stayed at Yuki’s place.
Yuki sighed at the scene and followed the girl to her room. When both of them got to Yuki’s room, Mayu sat on the bed quietly like a doll. The atmosphere was too heavy that Yuki didn’t dare to say anything. She went to her closet and took out a blue and white pajama.
“Hey, do you want to take a bath with me, Mayuyu?” Yuki turned around to say to the cyborg with a smile on her lips. But then, that smile quickly faded away as she received nothing from the girl.
Sighing heavily, she went to the bathroom alone. The warm water couldn’t calm her concern for the girl. Their plan had failed and they had a punishment waiting for them tomorrow. Furthermore, they even got Jurina, who was only fifteen, to join with them in this dark life when she still had three years to live on with her sweet dream. Not only Rena, but also Mayu and Yuki felt guilty for the young Matsui.
The warm water ran down the smooth milky skin of the Gravure Queen, however, it didn’t feel relaxing at all. Yuki couldn’t let herself enjoy the rare moment of relax when her mind was occupied by the image of a depressed cyborg. Sighing, she quickly finished her time under the shower and wore her pajama. Walking out of the bathroom, she faced a motionless figure. Mayu was still sitting on her bed, keeping her head down. The girl hadn’t shifted her position at all since the time Yuki went away. The captain felt her own heart weakening at the scene. It was so unusual to see a sad and depressed Mayu. The ace looked like herself back to the time when she just joined AKB48, an all-alone girl, a girl who always concealed her feelings and distanced herself from others. The captain still remembered clearly how difficult it was for her and other members of the 3rd generation to break that wall covering Mayu’s heart.
“Mayu…” mumbled the captain quietly. She couldn’t take it anymore. The result was already predicted. The ones who they were fighting against were smarter and more powerful than them. Both Yuki and Mayu knew that. What they did was just a try to gain back their right, and to say that they weren’t hopeless. The failure was expected but it was still too painful to accept. “Mayuyu, listen. It’s not your fault.”
“…”
“I’m sure a smart girl like you had known the result beforehand. They are too powerful for us, Mayuyu. We all know that. However, not me or the double Matsui is going to blame you. So don’t be upset anymore.”
Yuki kneed in front of the ace, placing her hands onto the shaking ones on the girl’s laps. She comforted the younger girl gently, like how she always did when Mayu was upset about her unsatisfied performance on stage.
“… I know that… But…” Finally, the cyborg decided to speak up her mind. But her monotone and shaky voice said everything. She was on the edge of breaking down. Yuki was concerned about the girl’s state. As she was waiting for Mayu’s further reply, she felt something wet falling onto her hand. She looked down. Some drops of water dripped down onto her soft white hands. It wasn’t hard for the captain to realize that the cyborg was crying. “… I’m sorry… Yukirin… If I could be more useful… smarter… and stronger… I could have saved you… Jurina… Rena… and other members… I’m really sorry…”
The cyborg finally broke down. She apologized between her sobs, without knowing that each of her sobs was like an arrow stabbing into the weak heart of a certain captain. Seeing the desperate tears running from the sorrow brown eyes, Yuki couldn’t hold back her own ones anymore. She felt her cheeks wet, like it sudden rained inside her room. Without hesitance, she gently embraced the ace, letting the girl to cry on her shoulder.
“Don’t be sorry… It’s not your fault, Mayuyu… Not your fault…” Yuki said softly while stroking Mayu’s hair gently. Then she also cried on the small shoulder silently. She was disappointed that she couldn’t save Mayu. The captain would never forgive herself for not able to protect her precious member, her love.
“You’re too kind… Captain Kashiwagi…” Suddenly, the girl in her arms pushed herself away from the older girl and looked at her with a pair of teary eyes. “Facing you, I can never forgive myself… for hurting such a kind and beautiful girl like you…”
“Hey. You didn’t hurt me. Not even now.” Yuki flashed a smile on her burgundy lips. And with all of her gentleness, she caressed the girl’s cheek. “I regret only one thing, Mayuyu. I want to save you but I couldn’t do it. I’m a useless captain after all.”
“No you’re not.”
“I am, Mayuyu… I am definite a useless one when I said I love you but I can’t protect you.” Yuki sighed and wore a fake smile to cover her broken heart. “I’m really sorry.” Slowly, Yuki withdrew her hand and turned her head away, ready to leave her room.
However, suddenly, a hand stopped hers from its track, pushing it back onto the warm and smooth skin. Startled by the touch, Yuki turned around, only to meet a sincere and caring pair of eyes. Along that, a beautiful smile bloomed on the pink lips of the cyborg.
“Since when my angel is useless? If someone is, then it should be me. I broke our promises again and even got our friends involved to our mess. I may not keep my promises, but I’m sure about one thing. That my love for you will never change, no matter what.”
With that, Mayu’s hand moved behind Yuki’s head and gently pulled the older girl into a kiss. The two pairs of soft flesh brushed against each other, filling their owner with passion of love. It wasn’t the first time they had kissed. But all the previous ones were just friendly kisses. This one was completely different. Both of them could feel their hearts beating hastily. And their mind was blank, as it was filled with a wonderful feeling that they had never experienced before. A few seconds passed, both of the girls reluctantly pulled back, with their foreheads were still connected. They looked at each other’s eyes, searching for the sincere reflecting on the copper orbs. Smiling gently, Mayu softly caressed Yuki’s cheek, enjoying the relaxing warmth from the older girl.
“Ne, Yukirin.” The cyborg quietly called.
“Nani, Mayuyu?”
“I’m thinking… Since we can’t do anything about this anymore… and my nightmare will begin tomorrow… So how about you help me one last time?”
“… Help you? How?” The older girl asked confusingly.
“… You know… Until now, I’m still a virgin… And I don’t want to give my virginity to those old men…” Mayu sighed before continued. This time, she looked at Yuki straight in the eyes. “So… can you… take it?”
“…. Wait… Are you… asking me to be your first time?” Yuki straightened her back and looked at Mayu in disbelief.
“Yes… Yes I am… You can at least reduce my nightmare… Although, I couldn’t be your first time… Well, it’s only my selfish request so if you don’t like doing that with me… It’s fine.”
“No no no. It’s not what I mean… It’s just… I don’t think I’m worthy to be your first time…” Yuki looked down on her knees. “You know… I’m stained… I don’t even know how many men have touched me already… I’m a real prostit-”
“Oi! Don’t say that word!” Suddenly, Mayu cut the girl off. “You’re not that kind of girl, OK? You’re not filthy. You’re Kashiwagi Yuki, my best friend, my mother, and now the one who I love so much. You’re the most beautiful and precious person to me. There is nothing about you that is filthy.”
Then, Mayu hugged the older girl, trying to demonstrate her words. Yuki startled at first but soon later, her body relaxed as it melted into the warmth of the girl’s embrace.
“I couldn’t save us. I failed so I want to spend tonight with you, creating a precious memory for both of us before facing our worst nightmares together… Please, Yukirin…”
Yuki didn’t move an inch. She was still afraid. Even though Mayu tried to convince her that this was her own will, but something inside her stopped her from accepting the request.
Seeing the captain hesitated, Mayu had no other choice but to make her first move. Hastily, she captured the older girl’s lips. Immediately, the captain’s body tensed up because of the bold action of Mayu. The younger girl held both sides of Yuki’s cheeks, preventing the girl from getting away as she deepened the kiss by licking the girl’s lips. Yuki gasped as she felt the small tongue make a contact with her soft lips, leaving an opening for Mayu to insert her tongue further.
Yuki tugged the wet bang of Mayu to the side, wiping away the remaining sweat to the smart forehead. Planting a kiss on it, Yuki laid down on the side of Mayu before her arm went numb. Pulling the blanket up to cover their naked bodies, Yuki wrapped her arm around Mayu, as the younger snuggled closer to her, seeking for the comfortable warmth.
“I don’t know you could be so rough on bed, Yukirin. You’re Black after all.”
“I can only be myself when I’m with you, Mayuyu.” The captain planted a light kiss onto the sweaty forehead of the ace.
“Me too. Good night, Yukirin. I love you.”
“Good night, Mayuyu. I love you too.” The captain kissed the girl’s lips softly. “Sleep well ne? The nightmare will go away very soon.”
“When I’m with you, there is no nightmare, only beautiful dreams about us being together.”
With that, the ace and the captain of team B slept in their warmth, completely forgetting about their punishment on the next day, and the following days during their time in AKB48.
Life goes on. Somehow, scandals about AKB48 members sleeping with businessmen at night were written on newspaper. However, because the news was lack of evidence, scandals soon went into the past. AKB48 still worked on her career without getting affected by anything.
Both Mayuki and WMatsui did a good job with putting up with their dark lives. Being idols at day time, acting like high-class prostitutes during night, but they were happy couples every time. Having each other was enough for them to go through these nightmares. However, during the Tokyo Dome concert, AKB48 had another big member shuffle. This time, Mayuki was separated when Mayu was transferred to team A. Yuki lost her captain position but still remained in team B. They thought this action was a way to prevent them from striking back the staff. A nice move but useless. Assigning them into different team didn’t change their love for each other. This also happened to WMatsui few months later when SKE48 had their first big shuffle; Rena became team E captain when Jurina remained in team S. The group changed. The team changed. But there is one thing that never changed, love. Mayuki and WMatsui still waited for that time, when their nightmares, and every members of the 48 family’s, finally ended.
