Love Capture: CH07
Utterly dark silence…only sting pain enveloped her senses as she slowly woke up from her long forgotten slumber. As she tried to move her limb, it was throbbing horribly. However, it was more than enough relief to tell that she was alive… Slowly opening her eyes, the vision was blurred for a second before everything became clearer. She slowly diverted her eyes around and saw the unconscious raven-haired girl beside her…that was Officer Kashwaigi. Flashed back to the time they jumped into the water to escape the explosion…they were blown off from the water and got up onto the pavement sides of the tunnel.
“U-Ugh…!”
She tried to move and realized the throbbing calf and arm. It was the places she got shot…but was even worse was the bleeding wound on her head. It’s making her lightheaded and she wasn’t so sure how long she had been in here. She took the hidden knife from her pocket, and cut her shirt into strips to tie around her wound to prevent anymore blood loss…after she had treated herself roughly, she slowly scooted over to Yuki and checked whether she got any injuries or not.
“…Phew. She’s alright…”
She didn’t have any, but she got multiple burn and scratches on her body due to the explosion. She did cover herself for Mayu after all… in the end, she decided to take her outer jacket out and wore it on the unconscious officer instead. She checked her pockets and thankfully she had some painkillers and antibiotics for bacterial infection…but it was enough for one person to take. Mayu stared at her pills and took the painkillers for herself, she always needed it after all…it’s her mandatory pill. She took in the antibiotic pills into her mouth to manually turning it into viscous fluid before she moved in and enclosed her lips against Yuki’s…in order to force her to take the antibiotics easily since she automatically swallowed it down. The injured thief wiped her lips and decided to make a plan from now. She didn’t pay much attention about kissing the sleeping beauty since she was in a serious situation right now, but she had to admit that those lips were soft. Since they managed to escape that explosion, Mayu hoped that the officers wouldn’t follow them. But things like couldn’t be so sure though…they needed to get moving before the worse case scenario would happen.
“U-Ugh…!”
Mayu carried Yuki onto her back but her leg got shot. But this pain wouldn’t stop her from moving on forward though. If they were to get caught here then her effort to risk kidnapping Yuki out would be in vain, and Mayu would hate that so badly. There was a reason why she gave the antibiotics to her after all…she wouldn’t want Yuki to die anytime soon yet. She still needed to make use of her…for her revenge. In that darkness in the drainage…the only thing that was Mayu’s friend was the sound of the water flowing softly. The only thing she could think was to get out from here and arrive back at the hideout…hoping that everything would be okay on Jurina’s side.
As they she kept walking down the path, the painkillers finally kicked in and she no longer felt any pain. But she knew that her body wasn’t that pleased with it since it’s about to breakdown any moment. At least the pain wouldn’t bother her for the time being as she headed back to the hideout…but she would suffer a lot afterwards.
“If you die this is going to be shitty pointless…! You better not die…”
“…”
“Tch, obviously you can’t respond…well, it makes things easier for me.”
Yuki was still dead unconscious while the short thief carried her along the pavement…it the dark stinky place, Mayu sure knew where she was heading and how to get out from here. In that deep silence she did had the chance to think through a lot of things though…about Yuki, and her revenge. Mayu’s hatred towards Kashiwagi did not change at the slightest…maybe it did, by Yuki’s influence. Never once Mayu would’ve expected a crazy officer like this woman to trust a criminal like her. She was willingly to bet her life on it to trust her, as Miyuki’s kind and gentle older sister. Mayu still couldn't believe that until now…and didn’t understand why Yuki would put her life on this. This officer, risked herself being caught by her own father for to learn about Watanabe family’s tragic truth…and for her to be captured in the cell it meant that she didn’t agree to work with her father. Just too many questions and doubts running inside her head…and Mayu wanted an answer. But it seem only Yuki could give her that answer and the thief had a vibe she knew what the officer would say.
“Because I trust you…I trust Miyuki’s sister.”
“Tch…that pathetic woman…W-Woa—”
Mayu fell onto the floor as her knee went weak all of the sudden. With Yuki’s weight on her back and her injured calf, she couldn’t gain her balance like she would normally do…the weight from Yuki’s body just added more crush against Mayu’s fragile body.
“Oof—! Ugh dammit…!”
Yuki didn’t wake up from that, which at least it was a good thing for Mayu. She would hate to have any conversation with that woman right now…she was mad, annoyed, confused, and frustrated. The young mouse carried the officer on her back once again and then kept on walking. She finally turned at the corner and realized how she was getting closer to the exit. In this huge drain…only the dark alley people would know their way around here. Mayu kept on walking in that silence why hoping that Yuki would be alive and good or else the antibiotics she gave would be worthless.
-
Turning at another corner…she finally ended up at this dead end. But that made Mayu smirked even more. Nothing could be seen in this darkness. She bent down and bit on something on the wall, it seemed to be like a cloth. She pulled it back and revealed the wooden floor that was leaning against the wall…it was her exit. She nudged it to the side and saw the path that kept leading on. She walked through and just few minutes later…she saw the light at the end. However, it was right above her head, she needed to get out from here with this stair ladders in front of her. It would be hard to manage this with an unconscious woman on her back. At least the stairs seemed to be stable and strong enough… Mayu gave it a try and climbed up the stairs with the officer on her back. So much energy, so much effort, so much pain started to tackle her back, the painkillers were about to wear off. Slowly taking each step up the stairs…the pain haunted her. Successfully, she managed to get out from the drainage with the officer, she came into this abandoned room that had broken windows…the light shone through it and Mayu remembered this smell very well…the smell of her home. She was nearly there already. She gathered her strength once again and marched out through the old door…to find her way back home.
-
After Yuko had taken care of Mariko, she sat in the living room worrying about the two girls. The older one didn’t know what was going on with Mayu and Jurina, so the squirrel hoped that those two girls would come back quickly before Mariko got curious about their disappearance.
~THUD~THUD~
Yuko could hear the sound of something against the door, before she realized it, it flew open and revealed the young girl…carrying this woman on her back. The trail of blood was all over her face and Yuko recognized that girl immediately. It was her girl, Mayu. Without further ado, she rushed to her immediately as soon as she saw her losing her balance.
“M-Mayu!?”
She came right on time and caught Mayu before the girl would fell onto the floor. Yuko could see the nasty wound on the girl’s head…and she knew how Watanabe do had concussion every now and then, and this could just make things worse for her. Before she could say anything, Mayu whispered weakly against her body…
“H-Hurry…”
“I’ll treat your wounds immediately don’t worry—!”
“…Save her…before she…help her…please.”
Mayu was not asking Yuko to take care of her, but the injured officer on her back. This woman must be the person that Mayu and Jurina tried to kidnap…she was Watanabe’s princess. She nodded firmly and it made the young mouse rest assured…and that was when she finally let herself went into some long sleep.
“What the hell is going on…! You crazy kid…”
Yuko couldn’t bring herself to be mad at Mayu right now. She needed to focus on treating their wounds before it would get worse that this. However, what grabbed her attention was that Jurina wasn’t with Mayu…where did she go? Worries started to consume over Yuko, but she needed to remain calm in Mariko’s place, and stay strong for Mayu. Since she would be so busy taking care of these two girls for a time being…
~XXX~
The warm and comfy feeling surrounded her body. The moment she slowly regained her conscious was when she felt such burning pain on her limbs. Her eyes slowly opened and realize she was on a bed, covered with the warm blanket. In this quiet silence…she didn’t know where she was and slowly sat up with confusion. She was still trying to process what was going on and slowly remembered…she protected Mayu from the explosion, and everything seemed to back out after that.
“Glad you’re awake now.”
A mysterious voice talked to her and that’s when she saw the woman crossing her arms while leaning against the side of the door. She seemed to be waiting for Yuki to wake up before she approached to her side to check on her condition. Amazingly she didn’t have any fever at all despite being in the drainage for quite a long while with injures all over her body. The antibiotics did played its role to protect the officer.
“I-I ah…”
“Don’t worry, I’m Mayu’s friend…she brought you here.”
Yuko pointed towards the bed beside her, and that was when Yuki saw the young thief being covered with bandages and still unconscious on bed. She seemed to be in a much worse condition than her. The officer didn’t know what happened and how she was brought here…but for sure she knew that Mayu was already injured before the explosion in the drainage.
“She needs a lot of rest, she’s injected by the bacteria in the drainage. It’s quite filthy in there…which made me surprise that you’re not infected at all.”
“I…I don’t know.”
“…I guess that kid gave you the meds for your protection.”
“Huh??”
“Usually we would carry antibiotic pills if in cases we were to go through that filthy drainage. Someone alert like Mayu would always have one, but I don’t see she carrying it. She must’ve eaten it, or gave it to you.”
Yuko went to Mayu’s side while she explained the rough situation she predicted, no one knew how much accurate she was. However, that guess was more than enough to make Yuki’s heart skipped a beat…no matter what’s the truth for that medicine matter, the fact that Mayu kidnapped and carried her here was more than enough to prove her kindness. As she stared at that listless body on the bed…she couldn’t help but to have the throbbing pain growing inside her chest. To see Mayu hurt because of her was just painful than her wounds and things regarding her father.
“…Will Mayu be alright?”
“She will, she’s a tough kid…and you must be?”
“Ah, I’m sorry I didn’t introduce myself…my name is Kashiwagi Yuki.”
“Kashiwagi??”
Yuko recognized that name very well. It was the surname of the man that was responsible for Watanabe’s tragic massacre. The one that changed the warmhearted girl into a ruthless killer…it was the Kashiwagi family. Yuko couldn’t help but to ask in order to clarify her doubts.
“Are you…Kashiwagi Miura’s daughter?”
“…Yes. It was my dad responsible for everything that happened to Mayu.”
This girl knew the truth. Yuko was in shocked to learn that this raven-haired woman in front of her was the daughter of the one that killed Mayu’s family. What surprised her even more was that why did Mayu risked her life to save the daughter of the man she wanted to revenge the most? What was her motive? And unfortunately the only thing that the old squirrel could’ve think of was that Mayu was planning to use this woman…for revenge.
“I guess you knew about me too… so yeah, just hate me as much as you want. I won’t deny what my father did to—”
“I don’t hate you. You didn’t do it. I’m not idiot enough to blame an innocent girl like you.”
“…”
Yuki was slightly surprised with the young woman’s speech. But that didn’t help reduce the guilt for Mayu’s family at all. After all, her father robbed everything from Mayu, and not even an apology would make up for it. Yuko didn’t speak anything further and went out for a short while before she came back with a bowl of porridge she cooked. Yuko was well prepared and had it on the tray so that Yuki could eat it on bed.
“It’s hot, just make sure you don’t burn yourself okay?”
“E-Eh…?”
“I believe you think that Mayu saved you for revenge right?”
“…!”
“I know her long enough, and I still don’t understand why would she risk so much for revenge. I don’t think that’s her real motive.”
“Huh??”
“…But well, no one will know what this chump is thinking. She never shows her true self, like a sneaky little mouse.”
Yuko changed Mayu’s bandage to a new one to replace the bloodstained ones. For the officer…she was still in surprise that this woman she didn’t know was being so kind to her. She seemed to know Mayu so well and must’ve been her friend. She felt the warm welcome from Yuko and did take a spoon of the hot porridge. It caught her off guard that it taste so good. For some reason Yuki was literally starving and she finished the whole bowl without leaving any single grain of rice at all. It made Oshima surprised with such appetite Yuki had and realized the officer must be hungry.
“Hehe, do you want some more?”
“U-Uh…if that’s okay?”
“We need someone to help finish it. Please eat as much as you need. You have been sleeping ever since yesterday.”
“W-Whoa…no wonder I feel like I’m starving…”
“Eat as much as you need, you need to recover.”
“Thank you…uh…”
“Oshima Yuko, just call me Yuko.”
“…Thank you Yuko-san.”
That word filled with sincere feelings. Yuko could feel in and she knew it wasn’t just about food. Seeing from Kashiwagi’s eyes, she could tell that the woman was trying to thank her more than just the porridge she prepared. Those words were meaningful and it touched the squirrel’s heart. Finally, it allowed Yuko to smile with much relief before she left the room to refill the porridge for Yuki.
“That woman…if it’s her…maybe she could.”
Yuko remembered the feeling when she saw Yuki’s eyes. It was filled with sincerity and such genuine feeling. If it was her, the squirrel believed that she would be able to open the door to Mayu’s heart. What the heartless mouse needed was a person that was truly sincere to her, and Yuko had a feeling that Yuki would only be the one to do so. If anyone could, then Mayu would’ve opened herself to people already. Little by little, the squirrel started to have a little hope that Yuki could heal Mayu’s wounded scar…but the downfall to that was that she was the daughter of the bastard that destroyed Mayu’s family. Would the young mouse be able to forget the revenge? Was she that desperate for revenge? Even Yuko couldn’t answer that…
“I hope for the best for her…she’s still young…I wish she will open her heart.”
-
After Yuki had waked up, on that same day, she drastically got better since she received antibiotics to fight the infection earlier. She helped Yuko with watching over Mayu and always changed the bandages every now and then for time. Almost every time that Yuko went to check on Mayu’s condition…she would see Yuki sitting by her side with that worried face on her. This woman never left the room at all. Either way, Yuko still gave her the antibiotic pills to her whenever it was the time for both Mayu and Yuki to take.
“Any change?”
“Nothing at all…she’s still sleeping.”
“I see, don’t forget to take care of yourself too.”
“I will.”
Yuki just sat there, and didn’t complain anything. Yuko could see from her eyes…it was filled with such worries and love. However, that eyes Yuki had for Mayu caught her attention badly. The more times she observed the officer, the more her guts gave her a stronger vibe…the feeling that Yuki was in love.
“Heh.”
“Hm? What is it Yuko-san?”
“…I’m just glad that this kid found someone for her.”
“Eh? I’m not sure that I get that or not…”
“Yuki, you love Mayu didn’t you?”
“E-E-Ehhh!?”
Yuki was shocked and her blush was just so obvious to Yuko. The young squirrel just watched the embarrassing officer trying to make bluffs to cover herself. Just seeing her panicking so much with this was more than enough reason to prove to her that Kashiwagi had feeling for Mayu. This was actually heading towards the direction she wanted, but it made her curious with how did this ruthless girl managed to capture the officer’s heart.
“W-What made you think like that…?”
“Isn’t so obvious? The way you look and treat her, as if you’re in love with her.”
“N-No way…I-I ahh…”
“Hmm…But I guess you started to realize it too didn’t you? Those feelings you have.”
Yuko hit on the bull’s eye and Yuki’s reaction showed it all. She decided to remain in silence since she did her role to trigger Yuki’s feelings for Mayu. The squirrel was actually looking forward to this, but at the same time she was worried what Mayu was planning to do from here on. She was hoping that the young mouse wouldn’t do something rash that would make her regret for the rest of her life…Yuko wanted to teach that stubborn arrogant girl that revenge was not the key to heal her wounded heart…only love cure her.
“A wounded animal is very hard to approach…just like her.”
“Huh?”
“If she means something to you…please take care of her for me.”
“Y-Yuko-san??”
“I bet you’re quite some special person in Mayu’s heart as well.”
Yuki shook her head vigorously immediately with misbelieve. Such things like this she couldn’t believe it. All these past moments she had with Mayu, this theif would always treat her like a toy, to be specific, tool for revenge. There would be no way that Yuki would have a spot in Mayu’s heart as Yuko was talking right now.
“She treated me like I’m her toy…well to be exact, her tool for revenge.”
“Maybe you’re right. But what you need to know is that I never saw her risk for anyone this much aside from our family…you’re definitely not just a toy to her. Even you are, I doubt Mayu would realize it, she’s a stubborn chump.”
“…”
“That kid needs someone that can comfort her, I have a feeling that you can reach her heart…that was locked for over 10 years.”
“Y-Yuko-san…aren’t you putting so much hope on me?”
“Well I guess I am, putting some hope for once in 10 years wouldn’t be a problem right?”
“Pftt…Hehe.”
Yuko just broke that tension in the air and made Yuki felt more relaxed. But at the same time she could tell that Yuko was serious with what she said, Yuki could sense the weight on each word uttered. Despite she didn’t have any confidence that she would be able to reach Mayu’s heart or not, she wouldn’t know unless she gave it a shot and put her effort into it.
“What do you think of Mayu though? A son of a bitch?”
“Wow, that’s how you’re describing her?”
“Haha! Sometimes she is…so what’s your answer?”
“…She’s ruthless, evil, and heartless. But at times…if I’m not deceiving myself, she’s a warm and kind person.”
“…I see, thank you.”
Yuki didn’t understand why Yuko would’ve thanked her. However, she just nodded softly. At the very least…Yuki believed in the kindness lingering inside that coldblooded heart. That was probably the only thing she could do, to believe in Mayu. The squirrel left the room and allowed Yuki to be alone with the listless thief on the bed. Slowly, the officer stroked her cheek and felt that warmth against her hand…while another hand held onto her palm gently. It was plainly rough and thick, but it was the hand that held her tightly when they were escaping. It was the hand that protected her from danger…it was this hand that made her felt safe.
“Mayu…”
She prayed for the thief to wake up. She hoped that Mayu would be fine and woke up to yell at her, insult her, just anything…she just wanted this girl to wake up already. Even though Mayu treated her as a tool for revenge, and as her toy…she couldn’t bring herself to detest this girl at all. Likely it wasn’t out of sympathy either, since she had this feeling even before she knew the truth behind Mayu’s family. Her heart started to open to Mayu because she witnessed and was touched with Mayu’s kindness. Even it was just a blink of second, she could feel it, the warmth and tenderness sure wasn’t a lie. That’s what Yuki wanted to believe…that it was real, and that she fell in love with Mayu because of that.
“…Mayu, please wake up.”
~XXX~
Time flew by fast and it was the 3rd day already. Mayu was still lying down on bed, sleeping, unconscious, and had no sign of waking up at the slightest. However, this gave Yuki the big time to think through things much more after Yuko pointed out her feelings for her. She noticed as time passed by her heart raced with worries, she never felt this way before for anyone at all… Mayu was the only one that made her felt that way. Just more time to remember old times she had with this thief.
Their first encounter was at the dark alley when they were pointing guns at each other. Mayu stabbed her and stole her first kiss. They went on a date at the park and she was kissed again. She treating Mayu’s wound that was given by an officer. Learning about Mayu’s history and the cruel truth of what her father did. Mayu kidnapped her and protected her…every moment made her heart throbbed in pain along with happiness. She had to admit that she was happy to be with Mayu despite all the bad talks they always had. Yuki actually felt at ease when she was with her. She never got bored at all sitting here and watch over Mayu until she woke up from her sleep. She wanted to be there to make sure that the thief would be fine when she gained her conscious back… but she was sitting too long that she forgot to have some water.
“Now I’m getting thirsty…”
She got up and went to the table to have a glass of water, but that moment was when she heard a mumble of another individual. It immediately caught her attention and she diverted her eyes back to the bed, and saw the listless figure moving once again.
“U-Ugh…Ow…”
“M-Mayu!?”
Yuki rushed to her side immediately and her heart started to pound so fast with worries. She held onto Mayu’s hand tightly while the younger one groaned and grumbled in pain. At least Yuki’s yell was loud enough to catch Yuko’s attention whom was downstairs to the room where they were in.
“Wha…huh…?”
“Mayu…thank goodness you’re finally awake.”
That familiar voice caught Mayu’s attention, and she slowly diverted to this woman who was beside her holding her hand…her eyes grew wide with surprise. Those teary eyes with genuine worries totally captivated Mayu’s attention. That smile on Yuki’s face made her heart paused a minute. It was an expression she would never expected from anyone, and especially from Yuki. Little by little…Yuki’s genuine feelings slowly dug through the wall Mayu made to cover and protect her heart.
“You…”
“Mayu does it hurt anywhere? Are you feeling okay?”
“…Don’t touch me.”
Yuko just managed to come on time to see Mayu coldly pulled her hand away. That created the awkward moment between the two as Yuki didn’t know how to respond to that. Before things would be more awkward, Yuko came in to break the tension and went to Mayu’s side immediately.
“Finally you woke up, idiot.”
“Yuko…thanks.”
“You better thank Yuki as well, she looked after you for 3 whole days after since she woke up.”
Oshima forced the arrogant mouse to at least thank Yuki for helping her. It was that awkward moment again that the young girl diverted her coldblooded eyes to the raven-haired woman with a sigh. They stared at each other’s eye and the moment Mayu gave a huge sigh while diverting her eyes away.
“…I didn’t ask you to look after me—OWWW!!”
Yuko literally knocked Mayu’s head with her iron fist and caused the mouse the startled with pain. The officer watched the whole scene with surprise and Mayu glared back at Yuko immediately with anger.
“Is this how you treat an injured person!?”
“If you’re going to have such a foul mouth, maybe later when you can RUN. Now apologize to Yuki.”
“Grr…why?”
“Because she looked after you. Do it now or you’re getting more.”
“OKAY! OKAY!”
Mayu sighed again before she turned to Yuki…that moment of awkward eye contact. She looked away again but this time, the officer swore she saw the young mouse had that shaded pink cheeks while she finally brought out enough courage to do what Yuko ordered her to do.
“…Sorry, and thanks.”
Just two simple words… It made Yuki’s heart skipped a beat and Yuko could tell from her expression. At least she was helping these two getting together. That was when Yuko decided to leave the check-up to Kashiwagi instead and she went to prepare some food for Mayu, this girl would have a huge appetite after she hadn’t eat for the past 4 days. As Yuki checked her body temperature and changed the bandages, Mayu sat there without a word, but it was bloody obvious she was annoyed.
“…Why are you doing this?”
“Is it wrong to worry about you?”
“Yes. Because I’m a criminal.”
“You saved me, and its more than enough reason for me to care for you.”
“When I also plan to kill your father?”
Yuki froze for a second and turned her eyes to Mayu. She could see that seriousness, and that heartlessness. It was the moment she knew that Mayu wasn’t playing around with her. Since she knew what her father did to Watanabe’s family, she wouldn’t be surprise that she showed so much sign of hatred towards Kashiwagi.
“…You still have the fever.”
“Where is Jurina? If I have been sleeping for 4 days, then she must be back.”
“Jurina?”
“…What?”
“Is it that girl that we separated while escaping…?”
“Are you telling me that Jurina isn’t back here!?”
Mayu roared out loud and caused Yuki to stun. Watanabe bit her lips before she threw herself off from bed and headed towards the door. But then getting up so forcefully just gave her a lightheaded moment, Mayu eventually fell onto the floor with her knees. She hadn’t eaten anything for the past 4 days and obviously she wouldn’t have any energy to even run at all.
“M-Mayu!!”
Yuki rushed over to her to support her, but then she was pushed away immediately by the ruthless mouse. Watanabe could feel her fever attacking her again and it just increased her headache, but it wouldn’t stop her from getting out from here to find Jurina. Mayu was sure a smart kid; she could tell that if Jurina returned, Yuki would definitely know her since she’s a loud girl. She slowly got up but then she felt that arms wrapped around her body, preventing her from escaping.
“Let me go!”
“Calm down! Maybe Jurina is back!! You need to rest! You can’t move like that!”
“I know that girl too well, if she is then she would be here already!!”
No one could beat Mayu’s valid argument. Yuki hoped that it could stop the raging mouse but it failed in vain. Mayu struggled even more and usually she would be able to escape from that weak grip…but she had no energy to even fight back this officer. This situation was forcing her to use all her strength to shove this annoying woman away from her.
“Let me go now or else I—!”
“I told you that you CAN’T!!!”
Kashiwagi raised her voice and caused Mayu to stun for a second. It all happened so fast, the hug disappeared but she felt a big pain across her cheeks, making her face flicked to the side with surprise. The officer slapped her, very hard, and she did fell back on her bum. In that silence…Mayu slowly diverted her face to Yuki and that moment of shock…she saw tears. That tough officer was breaking into tears in front of her and she couldn’t understand the slightest thing that was going on. She usually was immune to see people crying, but not tears of sadness like this…but seeing Kashiwagi crying just made her so annoyed, and felt this disturbing thing stirring inside her heart.
“Y-You…”
“Please…I beg you…don’t go!”
“…”
“I don’t want to see you in pain again, no…please Mayu…”
“Why? Its none of your business at all.”
“…”
Yuki didn’t respond, or its more of she couldn’t. She didn’t know what to say back to this stubborn girl and all and wondered how would she deal with this. She couldn’t possibly let this girl run off to look for Jurina without knowing where she was, and with that current condition. However, she took too long to be in silence that it made Mayu lost her patience to wait.
“If you’re not going to say anything, I’m in a hurry right now—”
“Stop it please! Don’t go! Just don’t go…!”
“…What the heck is wrong with you??”
“Why are you always like this…treating me like a toy, abused me, you even stabbed me before, yet I could tell that you’re not a heartless person at all…you’re kind and gentle.”
“…!”
Watanabe was stunned. Something she would never expect to hear from an officer, to call a criminal like her a gentle person. Also, since when was the last time someone said like this to her…she couldn’t remember at all. Her old self that she hated so much was locked deep down inside her…that girl filled with kindness and justice. That was the side Mayu hated about herself; it would only make her weak. However, this officer saw through her and gently held her hand.
“…Mayu, why did you went in, risking your life, to save me out from that headquarters?”
“None of your business to know—”
“It is, because it’s my life that you saved and protected.”
Yuki was on a roll to argue back at Mayu in an equally matched level. Before she realized it, the thief wasn’t pulling her hand away from Yuki’s. Her attention was totally captivated by this officer’s sincere eyes. She could tell this woman was just so stubborn that she wouldn’t let her go that easily if she didn’t give an answer to her properly. Slowly, little by little, Mayu’s heart was softening up, as the more she got involved with Yuki. She remained in silence, without an answer.
“…”
“…Mayu, please.”
“Miyuki pleaded. She was crying.”
“Is that it? Is that the reason you pushed yourself that far to take me out from there? Especially when I’m a daughter of the man that’s responsible for—”
“Stop RIGHT there.”
Mayu roared back and this time, she was mad. Yuki really did hit on the bull’s eye and she could see hatred returning back to those beautiful eyes. However, Yuki wasn’t planning to back down from a fight either. If she wanted to save this girl from the mindset of revenging, she needed to be strong for herself, and for Mayu.
“…You knew it didn’t you?”
“…”
“And you planned to use me as a tool for revenge, right?”
“What if I am?”
“Is revenge the only thing you seek?”
“That’s the whole purpose of my living. Without it, I don’t have a reason to even live in this world—”
~SLAP!!!~
A big slap on the same spot that Mayu still had that sting pain. Yuki just added another one and it still startled her again. She was completely dumbfounded from another slap and she felt Yuki pulling her collar shirt towards her with that anger in her eyes. However, Mayu could see so much sadness in it. No matter how smart she was, she could never understand why this woman was so affected with Mayu’s actions when it was none of her business.
“Please don’t say something like that…that’s just too painful.”
“What do you understand? Have you ever see your parents being killed in front of you!? Seeing a brink of death!? Then tell me, WHAT do you EXPECT me to do!? Huh!?”
Mayu yelled out with pure anger, it was the first time she lost control of herself, but that didn’t stop Yuki…it wasn’t as hurtful as it used to be. This time, she could feel Mayu’s real feelings coming out from those words. Yuki simply just shook her head and embraced that wounded girl tightly in her arms without further ado. Mayu tried to struggle but Yuki just hugged her tighter in silence. Before the mouse could say anything further, she was interrupted first.
“Thank you for saving me…”
“…It is for Miyuki.”
Mayu seemed to be losing some touch with her cold-hearted argument and that was when Yuki was able to reply back to her so easily without having to think. She remained hugging that wounded girl in her arms without planning to let go at all. She didn’t wish to risk of letting this arrogant girl go…she just wanted to hold her tightly like this, and made sure she would be all good.
“Whatever you say…thank you.”
“Why are you doing this? What would you gain for it??”
“Nothing, I care for you…I’m worried about you, and I hate to admit it…”
“Huh? What now?”
“…I love you.”
Finally, that word was uttered from Yuki’s lips. She finally had enough courage to admit it after she had days thinking about her feelings for the thief. The more she hid it away, the more her feelings grew. As she finally confessed her real feelings, she didn’t know how would Mayu respond to it. As for the Watanabe, she was stunned, completely in shock. The woman she despised said she loved her, and maybe she didn’t hate her at all…she hated Kashiwagi Miura…but did she hate Kashiwagi Yuki as well? It was one of the things Mayu had been doubting in herself whether she hated Yuki to the guts or not, because deep down she knew that none of this is Yuki’s fault at all…she’s complete innocent. What the mouse was doing was to drag this innocent woman into the cycle of her vengeance.
“…”
A deep silence between the two and Mayu was no longer resisting the hug. Before Yuki would have the time to believe that the girl gave up…she felt a strong push out and a crash against her lips. She wasn’t expecting this coming and her tongue invaded her mouth and deepened up the kiss even more. Mayu held her shoulder tightly while she kept on kissing the officer. The thief pushed her onto the floor and the kiss started to drain all of Yuki’s energy away.
“M-Mayu…! Stop!”
“Isn’t this what you wanted?”
“…I don’t hate you as much as you toying with my feelings like this.”
“Aren’t you trying to trick me to give a heart for you? You deserve a medal…”
“No! I will never lie to you. My feelings are real…and I really did fall for you.”
“…”
“Now you’re doubting in my words? Since when you care what I said is true or not?”
“…Right now.”
Before Yuki could argue back, Mayu resumed the kiss and made sure she pushed her body on top of the officer so she couldn’t escape. She wanted to resist, but all her energy was drained away from that kiss. However, they had to break off to get some air, breathing against each other’s lips…Mayu could see Yuki’s face turning bright red like a tomato.
“Then I’ll take it seriously. You don’t want me to leave right? Then give me something in return.”
“…What?”
“I’ll do anything you ask for one thing…in exchange for giving your body to me.”
“…!?”
“I’m deadly serious. I’ll do as you ask…aren’t we partners for benefits to begin with? I give you something, as you gave me something in return. So there’s no reason for you to feel any guilt for doing this anyway…”
“…Best way to hurt someone is to hurt their precious people. So to hurt my father, you chose me. If I reminded you so much of him, why don’t you just kill me?”
“Death is just too easy to be granted. I want you to fall for me, and belong to me. How humiliated will it be when he learned out his only daughter is screwing up with a criminal?”
Mayu expected some hatred from Yuki, but not at all. That woman just stared back with such sadness in her eyes. It wasn’t eyes of sympathy either. She couldn’t interpret what was hidden inside Yuki’s eyes at all…that second moment, she was pulled down and her lips crashed against the officer’s once again…it was a soft gentle kiss from Yuki.
“Then screw me up. Do what ever you want with me…I won’t leave you.”
“…”
“I won’t be able to understand your pain, but it doesn’t mean I will leave you. I want to understand you, and help shouldering that burden with you.”
“…”
“Please, believe me.”
“…I’ll do as what you ask. I’ll believe you, but you know you need to fulfill the deal.”
Mayu was still not over with this, as well as Yuki, she wasn’t planning to give up either, she pulled Mayu down again and whispered against her ear. She’s playing such a risky game with this cunning criminal. However, she had nothing to lose. At least, Kashiwagi was willingly to risk her whole life for Mayu. For some reason, she wondered why she could do that despite their circumstances.
“I really do care about you, that’s the truth…and I do hate to admit it, but I do love you…Mayu.”
“…”
“If that’s what it takes to protect you and make you do as I said…my body, and my heart, it’s all yours.”
“…I wonder how long will you be able to keep up with such deceiving words?”
“For as long as I’m breathing.”
“…”
She was annoyed. Despite everything went according to her plan that she made officer Kashiwagi fell in love with her, but she couldn’t explain why it was just so annoying and disturbing like this. Seeing Yuki giving everything to her just for her sake was just…unfathomable. They resumed the kiss, a rougher one, as Mayu slowly snaked her hands through the shirt and touched that perfect body…slowly undressing her and making her feel humiliated. Mayu should be enjoying messing and screwing with the daughter of the man that killed her family…why wasn’t she happy at all? She kept wondering while she tried to enjoy the body that the officer offered, but she wasn’t at the slightest. She did everything to make Yuki regret the decision for taking the deal…yet, those eyes filled with caring and love didn’t fade away. What was this feeling growing inside her heart…for some reason; it made her wanting to cry…
