Chapter Five – Stalked, Stalking, and Stalker
================ ================ ================
“Yo~ Mii-chan, two bloody mary” Yuko step into a cafe and sat in front of the bartender.
“You’re being stalked” whispered the bartender. She has big eyes and bucked tooth which makes her looks like a gachapin. She is working as a bartender and also works as information giver, the one who exchange information with money. She’s been friend with Yuko for years.
“Yeah, I know~” Yuko winked at the bartender, “She is not dangerous~”
Mii-chan pretended to have a usual chat with the customer then went back to Yuko, bringing her the drink she wanted. Bottom of the glass, she slipped a piece of paper which contains the information of the next target that Yuko pursuing. Yuko took the piece of paper and put it inside her pocket then she took out an envelope and gave it to Mii-chan.
“By the way, is Acchan back to her old job?” asked Mii-chan.
“No, she isn’t. I asked her to do a job with me but she refused. What’s wrong?”
Mii-chan took out two photos from her pocket and handed it to Yuko. “She came few days ago, asking me to find information about this girl and this tattoo. You better told her not to mess with this girl”
“Is that something dangerous?” Yuko asked, but Mii-chan keeps silent. Yuko takes a look on the photos and startled when she saw it… it was Minami. The other one showed a closed up photo of
No36’ mark, somehow this mark is familiar to Yuko. She stared at the photo and thinking hard, trying to remember where she saw this kind of mark.
// I saw this kind of tattoo when I was… fighting that serial killer?!! // Yuko remembered the mark on the right shoulder of Rena. She accidentally pulled that girl’s shirt when fighting her and saw the same mark with Minami, but it showed
No44’ // Is Minami have some kind of relationship with that girl? Is that mean Acchan is in danger?! //“Yuko, did you know something?” asked Mii-chan. Yuko put a smile on her face and returned the photos to Mii-chan. She thinks that she had to confirm the matter before doing anything reckless.
“I’ll drop by again” She took two glasses of bloody mary and walked away. She went to greet the stalker who is sitting at one of the seat in the cafe, offering one of the drinks in her hands.
The stalker is apparently the officer Haruna, the brunette which is kissed by Yuko two days ago. When she saw Yuko is walking toward her, she panicky grabs the newspaper on the table and flips the page randomly. What she doesn’t know is… the newspaper which she’s holding is upside down.
// Did she found out that I’m stalking her? // Haruna tensed up as she feels Yuko is taking a seat right before her.
Yuko chuckled as she sees how panic Haruna is, “Did you miss me that much?” she paused a while to have her drink and continue, “Officer Haruna”
Haruna was shocked that her identity being exposed, although this is the first time she is assigned in stalking criminal but this is too fast. “How did you kn–”
Before she can continue, Yuko interrupted, “Kojima Haruna, 23 years old. Failed in officer exam for 50th times and finally passed the exam end of last month. Got her first task two days ago to trap a criminal but failed… and passed out on the street” Yuko take a look on Haruna’s face. “Hmm… Is it because of the kiss?”
“H-How did you know about me?” Haruna was shocked for the second times, “And why do I feel that your face is familiar…”
// Did she forget what happened two days ago? // Yuko pressed her mouth to hold her laugh while Haruna looks confused.
// This officer is so funny, I like her // Yuko got up from her seat and stopped beside Haruna, put her arm around Haruna’s shoulder.
“Let me remind you something”
Without warning, Yuko leaned in and kissed Haruna on the lips. Haruna’s eyes widen in seconds, she feels familiar with this scene and finally remembered what happened two days ago. The day where Yuko kissed her suddenly and left as soon as wind. Haruna snapped out and pushed Yuko away.
“You’re the one who kissed me all of the sudden!”
“Yes?” Yuko smirked at her.
Haruna startled and dropped the photo on the table. She picked the photo and look at Yuko, “Ah, You’re the criminal I’ve been stalking”
Yuko is laughing out loud at this airhead officer, “Hahaha… you’re funny, I like you” she leaned in again and gives Haruna a peck on her cheek, “Catch me if you can~” she whispered behind Haruna’s ear.
Haruna instantly took out handcuffs to cuff Yuko but she missed and cuffed the armrest instead. While Haruna is busy to unlock the handcuffs, Yuko ran out from the cafe. Not long after, Haruna managed to chase after Yuko outside the cafe.
“Eh?! She is so fast!” Yuko surprised by Haruna’s speed running toward her and pace up the speed.
“You are under arrest!” Haruna shouted from behind.
Unknown to her, the police have been waiting for her across the street. Now, she is being trapped in the middle of the street. Yuko examines her surrounding to see if there’s any escape route and found a narrow path, two shops ahead from her current position. She turned left and sees a dead end, while Haruna stopped behind her and catching her breath, walking to Yuko step by step.
“You have no where to run” Haruna said.
Yuko looked around and smirked, “Not yet~”
She jumped to the left wall and bounced to the right, then to the upper left, and grabbed the edge of the wall and climbed up to the top. Haruna immediately grabbed the random rusty ladder near the rubbish bin and climbed up to chase after Yuko. Unfortunately, the ladder she used is broken before she managed to reach the top and she is falling down. Before she hit the ground, a pair of hands holds her wrist. It was Yuko.
“I’ve never seen a clumsy officer like y–”
CUFFHaruna put the handcuff on Yuko’s hand and the other on her own hand so that she can’t get away. “You are under arrest”
“Uso…” Yuko gives herself a facepalm in mind.

==============================Somewhere on the streetProfessor Mayu is sitting on a bench, playing her gadget while watching someone from across the street. There’s a flower shop across the street where a single mother works. She is carrying her son while doing her job. The professor has been watching for her all day sitting on the bench, from before the sunrise till now which is almost sunset. Somehow she finds her attractive, somehow she feels jealous over that baby boy, somehow she feels that she wants to be cared by that woman, she wants to know the feeling to be in mother’s embrace.
Mayu was grown up in orphanage. Since child, she often sees the other kids have their parents caring for them, she is longing for that too. Seeing how Yuki worried about her son and pleaded in the middle of rain, seeking for help to cure her son. That makes Mayu longing for that kind of love too. She wants to be cared by someone like her. Mayu let out a sigh as she thinks it’s impossible to ask that girl of becoming her mother? She let out another sigh and was about to leave but there’re two guys come closer and harassing Yuki.
One of the guys is touching Yuki’s butt while the other was messing with her flowers. Yuki is begging those guys to stop but they didn’t. Mayu stands up from her seat angrily and was about to approach them but she stopped in the middle of the way, thinking that she won’t win against them. Those two guys are tall, huge and got some muscles.
“Master~” Rena called as she walked approach Mayu.
Rena is coming at the right time. In a second, Mayu smiled and narrowed her eyes toward those two guys, “Rena, you see those guys in front of us? I don’t like them”
“Roger~” Rena walked across the street, playing her yoyo.
“Don’t touch my son!” Yuki is yelling at the man who took her baby away. She is being held by another man.
“Come, play with us for a while~” the guy smirking and throws her baby away like a trash.
“NO!” Yuki screamed in horror as she saw them threw her baby away. But those guys didn’t stop. They forced Yuki to follow them. Yuki screams for help but the people there were scared and they just passing by like nothing happened.
DUUKDUUKSomething hit the head of those bad guys. They got mad and looked behind, it was Rena playing her yoyo. She is walking toward those two guys with her crazy smile on her face.
“Ne, will you play with me?”
Rena went to grab those men’s head and pulled them backward. Those men automatically removed their hands on Yuki and try to remove Rena’s grip on their head. They growled in pain and trying to remove Rena’s hand on their head. Rena is grinning crazily and pushed their head down three times as apologize for Yuki.
“They apologized” Rena removed her grip on their head and put her arms on those guys’ shoulder. “They’re going to play with me~ ne?” she said as she is dragging those guys and disappeared into next cross road.
“My son…” Yuki was panicked after they left. She turned back and searches for her son.
“Here” Mayu appeared behind her with the baby in her embrace. Yuki’s eyes were filled with tears. She hurriedly took her son from Mayu and caressing him.
“Can you keep your baby away from me? I was reading my magazine and he suddenly landed from the sky on my lap, disturbing me and is annoying” Mayu lied.
Actually, when those guys throw the baby, she ran to catch him. Don’t know why, Mayu is mad because Yuki ignored her and only cares about her son. She didn’t even look at Mayu for once. Mayu folded her arms and looked at her with angry face. She wants to scold Yuki but she just can’t do it, she feels that her blood vessel is going to explode. Mayu let out a heavy sigh and decided to walk away since she looks like an invisible thing at there. When she turned to leave, Yuki tapped her shoulder.
“Thank you for saving my son twice” Yuki bowed.
“Eherm…” Mayu cleared her throat, “I was just passing by”
Yuki smiled at her and bowed again, then went into her flower shop. When Mayu saw Yuki’s smile for the first time, she feels something warm was dancing in the center of her heart. Her lips were trembling because she tried to stop her lips from forming smile. Mayu doesn’t want to leave and keep watching Yuki from outside. The shop was in mess, all flowers, pots, vase, were scattered on the floor and Yuki is cleaning it. Her baby is still crying on her back. That makes Yuki can’t concentrate on picking up the broken pieces of vases and scratch her fingers. Blood were visible and a line scar is forming. Seeing the blood nonstop flowing out from her finger, Yuki opened her mouth to suck the blood.
“Stop!” Mayu rushed in and hold Yuki’s hands. She took out a tiny bottle with blue liquid inside from her pocket and dropped few drops on the wound. As soon as the liquid touched the wound, it stopped bleeding and the scar is gone. “Do not lick wounds as you like, it may contains virus or bacteria which impact health. Stupid commoners always do this”
Yuki was surprised by the sudden move of this young professor and stay quiet. There’s an awkward silent between them and Mayu cleared her throat again, “I’m just passing by”
Yuki patted Mayu’s head and smiled. She knows that Mayu is watching her from outside, “You’re such a good girl. By the way, what is that blue liquid? Is that the same liquid you gave to my son?”
“That’s my masterpiece in medical science. This liquid will cure any wounds and sickness depends on its portion” Mayu explained in professional tone.
“You are young and already made such good achievement in your life, not like me…” Yuki let out a heavy breath as she remembered her awful past. Being dumped by her boyfriend, pregnant, being kicked out from house by her parents, and got bullied so many times, “I can’t even runs this shop. This is the fifth times in this month, my shop got in mess. How am I supposed to pay the rent and my baby’s daily expenses…”
“Live with me” Mayu said out of sudden, holding Yuki’s hands and staring directly at her eyes. Yuki didn’t know how to response and mute there.
“You owe me your life when I saved your son the other day, then I saved him again just now. You have to be my maid for a lifetime, taking care of me” Mayu take a closer look at Yuki with more serious eyes, “I’ll be taking care of your living fees. Let’s move into my home”

==================Back to police stationBLAAM!Someone slammed Yuko’s head on the table and spotted the light on her face. The person has slim figure and tall. If she weren’t wearing police badge, people would have mistaken her as model.
“I told you! I’m not that serial killer!!!” Yuko yelled at her.
The door opened and Haruna walked in with two cups of coffee in her hands. She sat on the chair face to face with Yuko then handed Yuko one of the coffees in her hands. “Have a drink”
Mariko facepalmed and growled at Haruna, “What are you doing?”
“You told me to bring some coffee and I did” Haruna tilted her head a bit to the right.
“That’s for me, not for her” Mariko pissed, “Did you ever hear that cops offer coffee to criminal?”
Yuko starts laughing at them. Mariko is mad and spilled the coffee at Yuko’s face. “Funny is it?!”
Not long after, the door opened again, an officer came in and giving report to Mariko, “Inspector, the serial killer showed up in 48th akiba street. People saw her ripping two muscle men’s arms apart with bare hands”
“I told you! I’m not the serial killer!” Yuko shouted.
“Shut up!” Mariko grabbed Yuko’s head and slammed it again on the table, “Even so, you’re still a killer. I have your records in my hands”
“I’m just an innocent citizen” Yuko looked at Mariko with innocent, teary eyes. “How could you do this to me?”
“I’ll deal with you later. Haruna, watch her!” Mariko fixed her clothes and went out from the interrogation room.
Yuko bend her head down and grinning as she knows that they left Haruna and her alone in the interrogation room. Actually, she had unlocked the handcuff and waiting for the right time to flee. Just when Haruna was taking another sip of her drink, Yuko moved in flash movement and knocked down the officer.
// I have some business to go. I’ll visit you again, officer Haruna //
How is it? How is it?
