Chapter 6
I woke up in the morning and was surprised to see a cup of coffee and some toast already waiting for me at the table. I saw Rena placing the last piece of toast onto the plate before bowing and leaving in plane sight. I ate my breakfast and then went into the bathroom where the bath water had already been prepared for me. I turned around and saw Rena leaving a towel for before bowing and closing the door behind me. Once I had finished by bath I had stepped out and saw a set of clothes already set on the bed for me and I heard the door shutting behind me. I was guessing it was Rena's work again and so I put the clothes she had picked out for me and then headed down stairs. I was about to walk out but then I saw a piece of paper on the table. I picked it up and began to read it and I was surprised to find that it was a list of all the casinos in Tokyo and their big jackpots scores were. It showed the prices of each jackpot from highest to lowest and there was even a list of all the games I had to play. I looked up and saw Rena standing there holding my shoes and car keys and I had to say I was very impressed with her work. I put on my shoes and then Rena handed me my keys where I walked outside and noticed that the car had been washed. It was so clean that it almost looked completely brand new like the day I had first purchased it. I sat there in my car and inhaled the scent of car cleaner and said to myself,
"Sugoi.."
Seeing how Rena had basically just done everything for me I started to think that Rena really was something. However I couldn't let that slow me down for my main goal today which was to find another way to get to Yuki since I now learned that she doesn't like Mariko which means I have a chance. I remember hearing Yuki say about how her bike was giving her trouble so I thought maybe I would secretly go over to her house and try to fix it myself. I'm not the best at it but I thought I would give it the shot with the proper tools. I drove out to Yuki's place and found her bike parked outside of her house. Because it was early I knew she was still asleep so I had to do this quickly and quietly. I took out my tool kit and then the instruction manual of "mechanics for dummies" and I started to look through it. I didn't understand half of what it said and so I just found a picture of a bike and compared it to Yuki's bike. Everything seemed normal but then I noticed a part that didn't seem right.
"What is that??"
Looking at the bike and then the picture I couldn't find what it was in the book so I just thought maybe it was a piece that needed to be replaced. It was connected by a set of screws so I took a screwdriver took off the piece. That was a big mistake because as soon as I took it out I saw the bike start to shake and get ready to fall apart. I held the bike with one hand while holding the piece in the other. I had set the piece down and then I grabbed the new one from the tool box. This was the part that was going to get tricky if I wasn't careful so I used my shoulders to hold the bike up while I had both hands to freely attach the part that was missing. Once it was in, I got back up and the bike was perfectly fine. I felt a moment of satisfaction right there but then I heard a voice from behind me that made my bones jump out of my body.
"What are you doing to my bike?"
I turned around and saw Yuki with a very irritated face. She looked like she had just gotten out of bed seeing how she was wearing pajamas and her hair was in a messy bun.
"I uh.. eto.."
"You have two seconds to tell me what you were doing before I call the cops for grand theft auto." she said in a serious tone.
"I was just trying to fix your bike ok? Look I had replaced one of your old parts with a new one."
Yuki had bent down to look at her bike and I couldn't help but notice a slight glimpse of her panties. They were white with some kind of blue lace lining and I was just dying to know what was under the pants but I didn't want to be a pervert so I restrained myself. After inspecting her bike and making sure I didn't steal anything or damage the bike any further she turned to me and said,
"Thank you Mayu I appreciate your help but I can fix it myself when it needs it."
"I'm sorry Yuki.. I was just trying to help.."
I held my head down feeling bad about what I had done and was getting ready to leave but then Yuki said,
"Why don't you come in and have some coffee since you're already up and I had to get up anyways."
I couldn't believe what was happening where I was actually getting invited into her house. I walked inside and took off my shoes before entering and then followed Yuki to the kitchen where she had me sit at the table. She told me to be quiet since the kids were still sleeping and she didn't want me waking them. I sat there as quiet at a statue and didn't move and inch. Then a couple minutes later Yuki came back with a cup of coffee and handed it to me. I took a sip of it and almost choked on it because it tasted so bad. It tasted like a mixture of black tar and sewer water which wasn't very pleasant. I wondered how Yuki was to stomach that stuff down considering the fact that she probably drank it everyday. Yuki walked over and sat down across from me and we drank in silence. I wanted to say something but there were many things I could say. I had to pick my words wisely because I didn't want to say something that could upset Yuki in anyway.
"So what are you planning on doing today?" I asked.
"Get the kids up and drop them off at school then come home and sleep some more before getting ready for work." she said as she drank her coffee.
"Do you need any help?
"Well if you don't mind could you drop the kids off at school if I give you the address?"
"No problem."
"Thank you Mayu. Let me get the kids up and ready to go and then I'll leave them to you."
Yuki got up and went into the other room where the kids were sleeping and got them up and dressed ready for school. They came out and when they saw me the youngest one asked,
"Nee-chan what's Santa doing here?"
"Eto.. This is Mayu and Mayu is going to take you to school today." Yuki said casually.
"Ah ok.."
Yuki packed the two their lunches and then handed it to them before kissing their cheeks and then handing them to me.
"You make sure they get there safely or otherwise I'll blast that pretty head of yours all over the walls with my 45."
Yuki had a dangerous black aura coming from her and so I knew she was dead serious about these kids. I nodded my head and then left taking the kids to their school where I dropped them off and then headed back to Yuki's place. When I walked inside I saw that Yuki wasn't anywhere in the main room so I walked into another room and found her sound asleep in her bed. Seeing Yuki all curled up in a ball and sleeping made me think she was really cute. I just wanted to take a picture of her right there and then but I thought it would be bad. Instead I made sure she was properly covered and then left a note saying I had dropped the kids off. Before going though I had decided to do something daring and so I leaned in close to Yuki and barely, just barely, I lightly kissed Yuki on the forehead before running for my dear life as if I had just triggered a bomb. I got in my car and drove away hoping that Yuki didn't notice me and then decided to head to go back home and relax for a while since I had nothing better to do. I walked inside and was shocked to see Rena with a vacuum in one hand and a duster in the other. There were sponges on her feet like shoes and her head had a brush on it. She was sliding across the room because of the sponges on her feet and she vacuuming and dusting at the same time while cleaning the floors. It truly was a strange sight.
"Eto master you got a letter today in the mail."
I looked over and saw the head maid holding an envelope in her hand and so I took it and thanked her. Before leaving the maid had mentioned that Rena had never went to bed last night and had been cleaning all day and night since she had gotten here. I was very astonished by the statement and so I went over to Rena and said,
"Rena perhaps you should go to bed. The head maid told me you haven't slept in days."
Rena paused and looked up at me saying,
"I do not need sleep master I am fine."
Now I thought that statement was a load of crap and I was going to argue but then I got a text from Yuko telling me to open the letter I had received. I opened the letter where there was a white note. I read it and realized it was in invitation to Mariko's campaign party. Apparently she had won and now she was going to celebrate with all her friends. I was happy for Mariko but didn't really feel like going after all since I wasn't really a social person. I decided to leave the invite for now and worry about it later. For now though I thought a nap would be nice since I have nothing better to do and the casinos didn't open for a while. Therefore I took off my shoes and then walked into my bedroom where I feel on the bed and soon fell asleep after that.
"Mother father look what I won at school today!"
"Sugoi Mayu-chan you must be very lucky!"
"Mother what does lucky mean?"
"Hmm it means a lot of good things happen to you using little to no effort."
"I see.. then I must be really lucky because I have mother and father always by my side!"
"You're the luckiest girl in the world Mayu-chan."
"I love you mother, I love you father!"
"We love you too Mayu-chan."
I woke up startled by a noise coming from downstairs. After recovering from my half awake state I walked down stairs where Yuko was down throwing darts at the wall. When she saw me she smiled and said,
"What were you doing sleeping this late Mayu? Honestly it's four in the evening know."
"Ah I was taking a nap when you showed up." I scowled.
"Well I come to ask if you got the invite since you didn't reply to my text."
"Ah yeah I got it. I might not go I'm not sure.."
"Well I think you should since your girl is going too." Yuko said.
"What? Yuki is going?"
"Yep Mariko said she invited her so of course Yuki was more than happy to accept."
"Are you kidding me?!"
I couldn't believe that Mariko had invited Yuki let alone Yuki had accepted the invite. Now I had to go if I were to make sure that Mariko didn't try anything on Yuki and protect her. I had to stop her and so I had come to the conclusion that I was going to attend the party and watch Yuki. Yuko also mentioned that I could bring a guest so I thought that if I brought a guest then it would make me seem less obvious seeing how Yuko was going to take Atsuko and Jurina was probably going to take some girl with her as well. I thought about asking Yuki to attend with me so after Yuko left, I went over to Yuki's place and saw she wasn't there. I looked at the time and saw it was late and so she must have gone to work already. I went to the casino and found Yuki and Mariko talking once again. I swear I wanted to shoot Mariko right there and then but I managed to control myself and so I walked over and stood next to Mariko. When they saw I had arrived the two had stopped their giggling and then Mariko said,
"So I'll be expecting you at my party?"
"I wouldn't 'miss it for the life of me." Yuki said happily.
"Great I'll send a car to come and pick you up. Eight o clock~"
"Hai hai you take care Shinoda-san~"
Mariko left and I was ready to punch the living lights out of Mariko if Yuki wasn't there. I looked over at Yuki who was still in a dazed state so I had to bring her back to Earth.
"Ah Mayu I found your note and I just wanted to tell you thank you for dropping the kids off."
"It was no big deal. Anyways I have something I want to ask you.."
"What is it Mayu?"
I froze at that moment when I saw the look Yuki was giving me. It was a look that just seemed stunning to me and I had no idea why. She looked curious but also looked very pretty in the lighting and I couldn't help but pause for a moment However Yuki brought my back and then I mustered up the courage to ask,
"Well I was wondering if you would like to attend Mariko's party with me?"
Yuki smiled and then said,
"As much as I would love to, I already have a guest I'm taking with me."
"Really? Who?"
"The kids. Shinoda-san said I could bring them since I didn't have anyone to watch them. I was going to be out so late that no baby sitter would want to wait that long so Mariko said I could bring them with me and if they got sleepy she would have a private room for them to go and relax and a security guard watching them the whole time. Shinoda-san sure is nice isn't she?"
At that moment I felt the rage inside me start to bubble and get ready to burst butI had to keep it under control. However I couldn't get over the Shinoda-san this and Shinoda-san that it was just sickening to me. I wanted to go stab my ears with knives but I didn't so I just decided to go home and drink away my sorrows. When I pulled into the house I saw it was clean once again thanks to Rena and I guess she knew I was going to be stressed because when I walked into the kitchen there was already a drink waiting for me. I picked it up and drank it quietly and then when it was empty I set the glass down and walked into the main room where I could relax and watch some TV. I turned on the TV and the first thing that came on was the news announcement about Mariko's big victory in the elections. Seeing her face on my big TV was irritating to me so I changed the channel to something that wasn't political or have anything to do with the news. There were some romance dramas but they all reminded me of Yuki and so I change the channel on those programs as well. There was nothing really good on expect for pro wrestling which was barbaric and stupid but since there was nothing left to do I decided to watch it. As I sat there watching the gross sweaty men fight, Rena came over with a tray of cookies and tea.
"Thank you."
I took a cookie and took a bite and I had to admit they were pretty good. I ate all the cookies on the tray and drank all the tea. As I was setting the glass down Rena came out and cleaned the mess I had made. The way Rena came out so quickly it was as if she was waiting for me to finish. As I was sitting there watching the TV about Mariko's victory party I started to think who was I going to take to the party since everyone was going to have a guest but me. I stood there thinking for a while and then suddenly Rena walked in holding another glass of tea. I looked at Rena up and down and then smiled coming up with a genius plan that was sure to work. I walked over to Rena and placed my hands onto her shoulders with a big smile on my face. I looked at her and asked,
"Rena, how would you like to go to a party with me?"
"If master wishes so then I shall go."
"Good! Get your finest dress because we're going to a party~"
