Chapter 3Yuko pov "Gomen ne.." I said as I kissed her hand. I tighten my grip on hers. She shook her head and I could see that her eyes were getting teary. "I miss you so much.." I said as I reached my free hand to caressed her face. She leaned in and held my hand. "I miss you too.. So so much." I pouted. "Mou Nyan nyan has lost weight.." She chuckled. "It's your fault.." I looked at her with a dramatic shock expression. "Ehh?!?!" She pinched my cheek and said. "You disappeared a year ago without saying anything. Did you know how worried I was?" "Ittai..." She released her hold on my cheeks.
"I was so scared.. I thought you left me.." She said looking down. I could see the tears flowing. I quickly placed both my hands on her cheeks and made eye contact with her. "Haruna.. I'm sorry.." I said as I kissed her on the forehead. I wiped the tears falling from her eyes. "Ne.. Kiss me?" She asked. I could see that she was afraid. Afraid that this was only just a dream. I slowly leaned in and kissed her on the lips. It was a gentle one. I separate ourselves and looked into her eyes. "Haruna, this is not a dream. I'm really here and I love you." I said as I gave her a quick peck on her lips. "Mmn. I love you too, Yuuchan." I smiled and pulled her into my embrace.
After a while, she pulled away from the embrace and I pouted. She giggled. "Let me go call the others in." I shook my head. "Yadaaa~" She chuckled and kissed me on the cheeks. "I'll be here with them, okay?" I pretended to think. "Okay, but you have to sit near me and let me snuggle with you." She nodded her head in agreement and stood up. "Yatta~ I love you Nyan nyan."
Sayaka povKojima-san called us in. I send a text to Yuki and got a reply soon. I went in with everyone else. Kojima-san walked back over to Yuko and sat behind her on the bed while Yuko just snuggled against her. All of us who saw this gestured smiled. "Can't get your hands of your cat huh?" Minegeshi aka Gachapin said. Kojima ignored her while Yuko just stuck out her tongue.
Jurina was standing at the corner fidgeting. I gently pushed her forward and she was surprised. I nodded my head and she headed over to Yuko. "Yuko-san, I'm really sorry for letting my guard down." She bowed a 90 degrees. She let out a chuckle. "Jurina, it's alright." She said with her squirrel smile. "Oh by the way. Who took over teaching you after I dissapeared?" She asked with a curious tone. "Rena took over your position." Acchan said. Yuko had this smug grin and looked over to Jurina who was blushing.
"Rena~" "Hai!" Rena walked to the front and stood beside Jurina. Before Rena could begin, Yuko spoke with her serious tone. "Rena, you did a good job on teaching her. Though there's still room for improvement. But overall, I could see that she has improved a lot." Rena bowed her head. "Hai. Thank you Captain." She chuckled. "Ma.. Rena, can you continue to teach Jurina?" Jurina was blushing so hard all of us smirked. Rena nodded her head. "After all, I don't think she would want me to teach her." Yuko said dramatically.
Before Jurina could retort, the Mayuki pair came in. "Oshiriko-chan! How are you feeling?" Yuko nodded her head. "Better than ever. Ah, Sayaka don't blame them. I told them to do so." I shook my head. "I heard.. So, since everyone is here can you start and tell us what happened?"
Yuko povI let out a sigh. I was expecting this. I laid back and wrapped Nyan nyan's arm around me tighter. "Did you tell them about the mission?" Sayaka shook her head. Meanwhile nyan nyan tighten her grip around my waist. I placed my hand on hers and rubbed it to calm her down.
"That mission.. Sayaka send me to inspect the base of the enemies." Everyone looked shock but Takamina was the first one to snap out of it. "What? You send her alone to inspect the enemies base?!" Takamina yelled at Sayaka. Tomochin was the next one to speak up. "I expected you to do a better job than that." Before any of them could continue, I interrupted.
"She wanted to send me, Takamina, Tomochin, Yuki, Rena and Mariko. She wanted to send a whole squad but I refused. I knew that it was very dangerous and it might have been safer if there was a whole squad but I didn't want to risk it. So I requested her to send me only." Mariko look annoyed. "You can't make decisions for us." I look sternly at her. "Yes I can. I'm your captain." "You're just misusing your authority." She retorted back. I sigh.
"I would like to mention that if you or Takamina went you both would have been corrupted." This caught Sayaka's attention. "What do you mean?" I let out another sigh. "When I arrived at their base, I saw some of the half humans and half robots got reprogrammed against their will. They didn't have a choice. The reprogramming only takes a few minutes and after it's completed, they become aggressive and some even went out of control. I was about to leave but I was caught by one of them."
Sayaka's eyes went wide. "That was when the connection got cut off." She said. I nodded and started to remove my shirt, surprising the rest. "W-What are you doing?" Minegeshi questioned. After removing my shirt with only my bra on, I felt a hand running down my back. "Yuuchan.." I smiled a sad smile at everyone and turned to face her letting everyone see the scars on my back. "After they caught me, they brought me into a chamber and forced me to speak my whereabouts but I refused."
Nyan nyan was crying. I moved my hands up to wipe her tears. I turned back to the front. Everyone looked shock. I took the opportunity to wear back my shirt. "Somehow whatever punishment they did, all of it was directed to my back and no where else. I don't know when but I was starting to lose it. That was until a few weeks back. This half human half robot, know who I was and helped me. Her name is Sae.
Apparently she wasn't under their control and she was a spy send by Sayaka long time ago. One night they beat me till no end and she stepped in. She seems to have authority at the enemies base. She injected some substance into me. That substance was supposed to make me somewhat dead. I don't know how but it hides the pulse of the one getting injected. Soon they all thought I was dead as they couldn't find my pulse and decided to dispose me. She helped me after that and here I am now." I let out a sigh. They all look surprised.
Mariko's expression softened. "But if we have went with you it wouldn't turn out like that. You wouldn't be missing for a whole year." This time I raised my voice. "Don't you get it? If all of you went with me we might have not even be here by now." I looked over to Acchan, Tomo~mi, Mii-chan, Jurina and Mayuyu. "If I brought all of them with me, you all would've suffered like how Nyan nyan did. As much as I didn't want to worry or hurt Nyan nyan it was the only way."
Everyone was quiet after listening to my statement that was until I felt Nyan nyan moved from behind. She stood in front of me and slapped me. "You were very selfish Yuko." With that she stormed out of the room. "Mariko, Mii-chan. Can you follow Nyan nyan?" Mariko was the first to speak. "As much as I disagree on your decision and I very much agree with Nyaro's statement. You were being selfish but you were just choosing the best for all of us. Don't worry about Nyaro, we'll take care of her." With that Mariko and Mii-chan left to look for Haruna. After they left, Tomochin spoke up. "Undeniably selfish." With that she left with Tomo~mi in tow, who muttered 'Give her some time.' before she disappeared.
Mayuyu walk up to me and said. "Yuko-san. Thank you." I looked confusedly at her. "You know, you're the only one who thanked me." I let out a little chuckle. "I understand why you made that decision and I thank you. If something happened to Yukirin, I wouldn't know what to do.." I sighed and pat her head. "You're welcome." Meanwhile Yukirin was blushing at Mayuyu's statement.
"Mayu, Yuki. Go and rest, you both must be tired with the operation." Sayaka said. Before they left, Yuki said. "Yuko-san, I'll look for the best medicine to cure your scars at your back." I smiled broadly at her. "I would like that. Thank you."She smiled back and they both left.
Rena was the next one to walk to me. I sighed. "Go on.. You can hit me if you want." Rena shook her head. She hugged me and whispered. "Thank you Yuko-san. If I went and didn't come back I wouldn't be able to get closer to Jurina. I wouldn't be able to spend that much time with her. So I thank you." I smiled and pat her back. "You're welcome. But you should tell that to Jurina, not me." She nod her head.
"I'll tell her soon. I dont want to regret it.." I smiled at her. "That's the Rena I know." Jurina soon walked over to me. "I don't know what to say.." I sighed. "It's alright. Rena, bring Jurina to her room and let her rest please." She nod her head and they both left, leaving Acchan, Takamina and Sayaka.
Takamina sighed. "If I were you I would've done the same thing.. I won't blame you." Acchan on the other head just nod her head. "Give them time, they'll understand. Especially Tomochin. We'll talk to them if necessary. Get some rest for now and dont think too much." Acchan pat my head. "Thank you. You guys rest well too." I told them. They left and now it was only Sayaka who was left.
Sayaka pov"I'm sorry you had to went through the tortures." Yuko shook her head. "It's alright. It was my own decision and even if you give me a chance to repeat it, I would still choose to do the same thing."
I smiled at her. "So.. Anything else you missed out?" She thought for a while and all of a sudden I could see an imaginary lightbulb on her head. "Sae said that she has managed to gain the enemies leader's trust and soon we will be able to attack their base this time. She has been able to stop some reprogramming on some half humans and robots. She'll contact you soon. Oh and, she tells me she misses you." She said with a genuine smile. I smiled back at her. "Get some rest, tomorrow will be a long day."
Done. I wonder is it too long...
Oh well, will try to update soon. No promises though.
Off I go~
