@ abok: You're questions will be answered, just not yet
I like to create a bigger plot or a series of them
Chapter 47Date: April 14
Time: 5:43 pm“Ken-san, first off, congradulations” King laughed “How does it feel to be up there?”
“King-san!!! Thank you and it feels great. I had some trouble in the beginning convincing the higher ups that I was best choice to step in Nakai’s shoes while he is missing, so to speak but once I hinted that it might be the same group that attacked me and I informed them that I was going to find him and his captor and instantly their suspicion on Nakai’s disappearance was redirected”
“And are you going to find Nakai?” King’s tone was one that contained a smirk and grin
“Of course, what’s more convincing then finding him dead?” Ken and King shared a laugh “So now we have to find our pests. How has Matsumoto been?”
“He hasn’t been fazed by your attack because we opted to get better security around him, however since no attack has been made against him, he suggested that he probably isn’t the next target”
“If that’s what the man wants, why go against him right? For all we know, this may be beneficial for you if our pest do the dirty work for us and if not….” Ken hinted
“Good point but do we even know what the pests want?”
“So let’s put a listening device on him then, find out just what they want and then either they or we get rid of Matsumoto. So I think it’s safe for you to start conquering your followers”
“I think this is the beginning of a long and beneficial partnership”~CLICK~
Unknowingly to them, at a far away location, another individual was smiling as well
‘Gotcha’******************************
Date: April 15
Time: 9:54 pmSaki walked into the office building after realizing that she forgot something in her desk. As she was walking by, she noticed a light in Maimi’s office. Saki knocked onto Maimi’s door before entering just to find Maimi sleeping at her desk. Saki looked around and found Maimi’s blazer sprawn on the leather couch so she picked it up and walked over to drape it over Maimi’s shoulders
‘Poor thing, she’s been going on overdrive lately, and it’s all because of us’ Saki looked at the files on the computer and those that Maimi was resting her head on, they were all supposedly Saki’s that Maimi took away.
Flashback – A couple of days after Miyabi’s accident Saki walked into her office totally disliking the fact she was at the work, she didn’t want ot be back at work, she wanted to stay by Miyabi’s side but Maimi was right, she couldn’t just live her life like a zombie, she had to get her life back in order.
Looking at the pile of files on her desk, Saki couldn’t help but groan
‘Holy mother of pearl! Where the hell did all these come from?’ As if on cue, some one knocked on her door “Come in” Saki grumbled obviously very pissed off
“Well hello to you too sunshine” Maimi stood at the door with a smirk
“If we weren’t at work, I’d totally wipe that smirk off your face”
“Oh~touchy aren’t we? What can I say, not my fault you skipped work” Seeing Maimi grin at her misfortune, Saki was more enraged
“For fuck sakes, what do you want anyways?”
“Now, now no need to get all grumpy at your only saviour”
“Saviour? What do you mean by that? If you were my saviour, you wouldn’t be here pissing me off” Saki glimpsed through a file without looking up, she didn’t want to see Maimi grinning, it’ll just aggravate her even more. Maimi walked over and took a stack of the files away “What are you up to now Yajima!”
“Isn’t it obvious? Getting you off work on time” Maimi grinned
“W-what the…You know I’ve got lots to do and the only way out is if I finish…” realization hit Saki as Maimi walked away with most of the files, closing the door behind her
End of Flashback
Flashback #2Saki had caught up to her workload, with the help of an angel that she so wanted to kiss, and was about to leave when she heard a knock on the door “Come in”
“Ah Shimizu-san, glad I caught you” in walked Yaguchi Mari, an assistant of her father’s, who has been keeping an eye on her father’s account while he was away. Yaguchi Mari had taken the role of CEO for her father until it was time for Saki to take over whereas Nakazawa Yuko was the other CEO, who worked for Maimi’s father
“Yaguchi-san, how can I help you?” Saki sat back down in her chair
‘Drat! This better not take long, I have to be at the hospital’“Your father called indicating that this client be dealt with as soon as possible. He says that he wants you to get acquainted with them, he’s had a long-time relationship with them so it might not be bad to communicate with them early. Obviously, he had nothing to worry about, you and Yajima-san are so close to where your fathers are capable of and at such a young age. I am counting on you to let me have early retirement” Mari handed Saki the file before leaving
“Oh for fuck sakes!!!” Saki groaned as soon as Mari was out of her office. Saki opened the file and began to read through until another knock was at her door “What now?! Come in!!!”
“Tsk tsk, someone got the princess upset” Maimi walked in closing the door behind her “What’s up? I thought you were going to the hospital?”
“I was until Yaguchi-san gave me this file, I mean, who the hell gives me a client file at 4:59 in the afternoon anyways?” Saki threw the pen she was holding onto her desk, that landed on the floor at Maimi’s feet.
Maimi bent down and picked the pen up “Obviously our parents, we were trained to work like them, you know that” Maimi placed the pen back on Saki’s desk and held out her hand
“What?” Saki was confused as to the open hand “Did you forget your wallet at home again?” Saki reached into her desk and pulled out her wallet “How much do you need?” Saki asked looking through her wallet. No response. Saki looked up to see Maimi looking at her with a raised eyebrow “Well?”
“Shimizu-san, you’ve got to be more dense than me” Maimi groaned before she took the file from right under Saki’s elbow, before turning around
“Hey! What the hell?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Go to the hospital, leave this up to me and the children to work on, but you still have to present results to the client” Maimi shook her head before closing the door behind her
End of Flashback #2‘Stupid Maimi, if you can’t handle it you should’ve told me, why did you take my work and Ai-chan’s?’ Saki had seen Ai with Risa at the hospital almost always and found out that Maimi had given less work for Ai as well so that she can accompany Risa.
“Zzz…huh? Oh shit!!! Dear lord Shimizu-san, you almost gave me a heart attack standing there” Maimi put a hand to her heart breathing heavily “What time is it?”
“Time for you to go home Maimi, you need proper rest”
“Naw, I’m okay, I just needed a power nap” Maimi stretched and as she was stretching, Saki could see the bags under Maimi’s eyes that were forming
“Maimi, let me take some of the work back, you can’t be sustaining this, you give almost no work to Ai-chan so she can be with Risa, you’ve taken my work and you have your own work”
“*Yawn* don’t worry I’ve got Reina and Eri helping me”
“They can only do so much and you know it. Not only have you been working harder and later than your usual late, but you make frequent trips to see Airin and don’t think of lying to me, Miya told me she’s seen you there every other night practically, late”
“Don’t worry, once Natsuyaki-san is out of the hospital, I’m giving this all back to you to deal with *yawn*” Maimi went over to her coffee pot and brewed a fresh batch “How is Natsuyaki-san?”
“She’s good, her leg’s healing but she’s stressed out about Airin” Saki recalled the day she was informed that Miyabi had woken up
Flashback~Hitoribocchi nanka ja nai taisetsu na hito ga takusan iru yo hora ne sono subete no ai ni Sankyuu~ “*groan* hello?” Saki picked up the phone noticing the time to be 3:18 am
‘This better be good or whoever it is calling me will die a horrible death’“Shimizu-san!” Risa’s voice echoed in Saki’s ear “I’m sorry for all calling you this late but…Miya…”
Hearing the name Saki jerked up, wide awake “What about Miya? Is she okay? What happened?”
“Miya…is awake!” No response “Hello? Shimizu-san?”
“I’m sorry but could you repeat that?” Saki pinched herself and could feel her eyes burning when she felt the corresponding pain
“MIYA…IS…AWAKE”
“Oh my god!!!! She is? When did this happen?” Saki jumped out of bed and tried to change as she had her phone wedged between her shoulder and her ear
“Later this evening, her doctor finished checking up on her and the team came to take down a statement of what happened”
“I’m coming now!” Saki closed her phone and freshened up a bit
She had barely reached the front door when it swung open “Ahhhh~ Saki! Jesus! What are you doing up? … and where are you going?”
“Miya’s awake!!!!”
“Really? *yawn* That’s great!!! Let’s go!!!”
“You’re coming? But you look so tired…and you just came home”
“Don’t *yawn* worry! I want to visit her”
Seeing that Maimi was determined Saki didn’t bother arguing, also because she really wanted to go see Miya right now “Okay, but I’m driving”
Throughout the ride, Maimi fell asleep and instead of waking her up, Saki thought of leaving her in the car however the minute Saki parked the car, Maimi jerked awake “Maimi, you should really sleep”
“*Yawn* no, I want to see Natsuyaki-san and maybe I can visit Airin” Maimi stumbled out of the car and ran up ahead of Saki “Come on, your lover’s waiting” Saki blushed a bit before catching up to Maimi
“Yajima-san” Risa called out “Wow! I haven’t seen you in a couple of days but you look like you’ve aged or something”
“It’s only because she’s overworked” Ai walked up from behind “She’s taken all the work away from me and Saki-chan”
“Where’s Miya?” Saki asked “How is she feeling?”
Risa chuckled “She’s in there, go in and look for yourself”
Saki slowly opened the door afraid that she’ll wake Miyabi up, only to see Miyabi staring at her with a smile. Seeing Miyabi awake brought tears to her eyes, tears of joy and relief, relief she hasn’t felt since she knew of the accident
“Hey” Miyabi called out, reaching out her hand towards her
Saki rushed forward to Miyabi’s bedside, taking her hand in her own “Hey” she responded
Miyabi wiped Saki’s tears with her free hand “Hey hey…shhhhh… don’t worry, I’m awake now, no need to cry”
“*sniff* these tears…these tears are of joy…*sniff* I’ve missed you” Saki pulled Miyabi into a bear hug
Miyabi brushed Saki’s back “not as much as I’ve missed you. Like you, there wasn’t anywhere else I wanted to be” Saki pulled away to see Miyabi grinning “I heard everything, and I believe I’ve found my soulmate…in you”
“Oh Miya!” Saki embraced Miyabi
“You’re voice was what pulled me back here, your voice was what I’ve longed to hear, the feeling of holding you in my arms again was my drive…I love you Saki-chan…be mine forever” Miyabi’s eye started to brim with tears, feeling the nod Saki made
End of Flashback“That’s good, coffee?” Maimi offered putting sugar in her cup
“Naw, I’m just getting something and I’m glad I did otherwise I wouldn’t have noticed how stressed and tired you are from accommodating Ai-chan and me…and you shouldn’t be having anymore coffee, you should be coming home with me” Saki commented recalling finding Maimi asleep when she came out of Miyabi’s room
“No you should go, I’m just going to finish up some things before I go home” Maimi took another sip of her coffee to show her determination
“Fine!!!” Saki gave up arguing and walked out of Maimi’s office
