Chapter 22
(Yuki's POV)
After the whole security break in fiasco I decided to call Yuko and tell her what had happened. She came over and when she had first arrived, she had two AK-47s in her hands and a sash of grenades across her chest. She looked like she was ready to go to war but I told her the house had already gotten to them. She laid down her weapons and then she helped me dispose of the dead bodies. I called Rena and told her to come with Jurina as well to help clean up the mess. When they showed up Rena was shocked to see all the blood and broken glass. She started to clean up everything while Jurina, Yuko and I went into the main room to discuss what had happened. When I finished telling them, Yuko had thought it was best if she had stayed with me for a while until Mayu came back. However I told her that was bad idea because Atsuko was going to need her to take care of the baby and I couldn't risk that. Therefore Rena was going to stay with me since Rena did have military training therefore she knows how to fight. Jurina and Yuko set up extra security measures and then they left.
Once they were gone Rena and I had decided to relax and just try to forget what had happened. I was still pretty tensed up so she offered to give me a massage. I had forgotten how good Rena's massages were so I agreed and then got on the bed where she started to undress me. I felt her soft hands caress my back relaxing my muscles soothing the pain that had been in my body for a long time. Feeling her strokes I noticed that she was moving in a certain pattern. I was about to say something but then she said,
"You still have them.. the scars.."
"Yeah.. They've healed since then but I don't think they'll go away." I said.
"I still remember that night Yuki do you?"
"Yeah.. you still owe me for that you know?"
"Un I know I'll think of something."
The scars were from the day Rena and I once got into a really big fight. There were a bunch of them that came out of nowhere. Rena was hurt badly so I had to do whatever I could to protect her. Once of them had a belt so they tied a blade to it and whipped me with it. I was cut badly but we managed to barely escape with our lives. Ah the times back then were rough so I'm surprised that we made it this far. Now we're here and I'm with someone who cares of me. Mayu really is a special person who I'm lucky to have. Thinking of Mayu started to remind me that maybe I really do have feelings for her. I mean I'm starting to think that I really do love her. Thinking of the bet I remembered that if I lost then Mayu and I would marry. Imaging Mayu and I marrying was actually a thought that wasn't too bad. Perhaps when Mayu gets back I should get ready to make a move. In the meantime I told Rena to stop the massage and prepare dinner. I hated making her do all the work and insisted on helping but she told me not to and told me to just relax. As Rena was making dinner I took out my phone and dialed Mayu's number. I tried to call her but all I got was an instant voice mail meaning her phone was off.
"Hmm.."
"Yuki dinner is ready."
I walked into the kitchen where Rena had made a dish of shrimp and pasta. I sat down and Rena poured me a glass of wine before sitting across from me. I took a bite and thought it was very good.
"It's been a while since we've sat down like this nee?"
"Yeah it has been. It's good to actually sit down and talk nee?"
"Indeed it is."
Rena and I sat and talked for a couple hours until we had finished and then we had prepared for bed. I made some tea to thank her for all her hard work and then I let her go back to bed. I got into my bed getting ready to sleep when suddenly the door opened and Rena came in. She said she didn't feel safe with me sleeping alone so she wanted to sleep with me tonight. We got into the bed and under the covers where we tried to fall asleep. However neither one of us were tired let alone fall asleep due to the fear of someone trying to attack us. Therefore we both sat up and decided to watch a late night movie. We found an old romance movie so we popped it in and started to watch it. It was about a rich man who fell in love with a poor girl and they had a forbidden romance together. Rena made a joke about how it reminded her of Mayu and I. It was funny to watch the couple run around and do silly things. I giggled and thought the scene where the girl and the man were eating together and they were goofing off. Then the scene where they were fighting with the rich man's parents made me think how loyal the man was for the girl. I wonder how loyal Mayu was to me..
(Mayu's POV)
This girl is crazy!!! She's made me do all kinds of crazy things like carrying her around and playing stupid games with her. Not to mention the ridiculous outfits she made me wear. First it was a doctor's outfit and then a high school uniform. The worst of them all though was the swimsuit outfit that was just straight out embarrassing. Honestly this girl was straight up crazy and needed to be locked up in a mental ward ASAP before she seriously hurts or even kills me! It's getting late now and I hope this girl has a bed time since she was pretty young. Sadly she didn't seem like she was sleepy at all and I really wanted to go to bed and rest after such a long day. Rabutan reminded me of an annoying kid I knew back in primary school that no one really liked but I took pity on her and was nice. Honestly she reminded me of the kid that no one liked and wouldn't play with and now here she was all grown up and scary as hell. She was now telling me that she wanted to play another game but I was so tired that I could barely move. However I knew that if I didn't do what she asked she would zap me with the collar around my neck. She ordered me to carry her up to her bedroom so I had no choice but to set her on my back and then carry her up the stairs. Her stair case was huge with at least a hundred steps making it unbearable. I thought I was going to pass out but then I finally made it and I let her down. I didn't eve get a minute to rest before she told me that she was hungry and wanted me to get her a snack.
"What would you like?"
"Strawberries!"
I went back down the stairs and got the strawberries that she had wanted before making my way back up to the room. She wasn't in her room thought but instead she left a note saying that she was on the top floor where the library was. I had to make my way up to the library where she was sitting on a couch. She pointed to her mouth and opened it saying that she wanted me to feed her. I sighed and then walked over to her where I took a strawberry and placed it into her mouth. Once by one I fed her the berries until they were all gone. Then once they were gone she said that she wanted to play another game. However I was so tired from all that running around that if I did anything else I was sure to collapse. Therefore I came up with a brilliant idea that was sure to make her go to bed. I put on my best smile and then said,
"Nee Rabutan~"
"Hai Mayu-chan?"
"How about before we go to bed I tell you a bed time story!"
"That's a great idea Mayu-chan! Demo I still wanna play so let's get ready for the next game!"
"But it's so late now and almost everyone is asleep by now. Tell you what if you go to bed now, I have the perfect game we could play in the morning! But you have to be fully rested~ Sound good?"
Rabutan stared at me for the longest time before finally smiling and saying,
"Sounds good!"
She ran off to get changed and in the mean time the butler came over and handed me a set of pajamas for me to use. They were very childish with little pink bunnies on them but I had no choice so I changed as well. A couple minutes later Rabutan came back out and then took me to her bedroom that was bigger than the main entrance. There was a huge bed in the middle of the whole place so her and I got into the bed where she situated herself under the covers. She then ordered me to go sit next to her and tell her the story that I had offered to tell her. To make sure she was comfortable I gave her a plushie to hold and then began the story.
"Once upon a time there was a girl who lived alone in a big house with no one ever visiting her. She didn't mind the fact that people never came for she liked being alone all the time. There were no distractions and no annoying people bothering her and so she just lived a life of solitude for a majority of her life. Then one day as the girl was drinking tea and reading a book, she heard something that she thought she would never hear ever in her life. There was a knock at the door for the first time in years and so the girl was shocked at first. She didn't know what to do and so she just sat there thinking she was just dreaming and it would go away if she waited. However there was another knock and there was even a voice asking if anyone was inside. It sounded like a kind girl who was probably curious as to who lived in the big house. The girl stood up and walked over to the door where she opened it seeing a girl standing there in a white dress.
"It's been a long time nee?"
The girl had no idea what the other girl was talking about so she just stood there confused. The other girl sighed and then said,
"You really don't remember do you?"
The girl shook her head and so the girl in the white dress reached into her pocket and pulled out an old flower ID badge from a primary school. looking at the badge the girl realized this was the girl that she had thought died six years ago. Having nothing to say, the girl jumped into the other hugging her tightly. She started to cry before finally saying,
"I've waited for you for so long..."
The other girl then said,
"It's ok now.. you're not alone anymore... The End."
I looked over and saw Rabutan had already fallen asleep. I was glad she fell asleep so I tucked her into the bed and then got ready to leave. However I noticed something was holding my hand pulling me down. I looked down and saw Rabutan's hand holding mine in a kid like manner. She was mumbling something in her sleep and I couldn't tell what but it sounded like she was saying "papa" She must have missed her father despite the horrid tale she had told me earlier. I could see tears starting to form around her eyes so I decided to get into the bed and lay next to her keeping my distance. I didn't know what she'd do to me if I got too close so I backed away and then turned to the side. I thought I was safe but I then felt her hands grab me and pull me into her. Her head pressed against my back and a sigh of relief escaped from her mouth. She must have been quite comfortable using me as her human pillow. I thought hat I had nothing better to do so I just went with it and let the girl sleep. I mean nothing bad could come out of this so what else could she do? I still wondered though how Yuki was doing with the others. I even wondered if they knew I was out here and if they were looking for me or not. What I worried about the most though was if Yuki was ok or not. I was afraid Rabutan's men had gotten to her and she was gone. Yuki is strong though and I know that if anything Yuki can handle herself.
(Yuki's POV)
When I woke up the next morning I found Rena laying next to me cuddled close. Her arms were wrapped around my waist secure and tight like a little kid. Seeing her like this reminded me of the old days when we used to live together. I sat up and stretched my arms out and then went down stairs to make breakfast. A couple minutes later Rena came down only she wasn't fully awake. Walking over to me Rena leaned onto my back and said,
"Yuki~ I'm hungry~"
"Ok Rena just give me a minute. How about you go lay down on the couch."
"Yada~ You're so warm~"
"Well I can't make breakfast if you don't let me go."
"I'll move when you move!"
"Rena.."
"Ok ok~"
Rena let go and then walked into the main room where she laid down on the couch. Meanwhile I went to the refrigerator where I pulled out some things for breakfast. Making the breakfast I finished up the final arrangements and then I called Rena in. She still sounded half awake but she was awake enough to know not to walk into the wall. I handed Rena her plate and then sat down across from her. Rena seemed to be awakening more and more so I told her that I was going to call Mayu again and try to talk to her. I finished up breakfast and then took my phone to call Mayu. I dialed the number and then called it only to get another voicemail. Her phone was still off and I thought it was very odd for her to have her phone on for such a long time. I thought maybe there was something wrong so I went up to Mayu's room to look for any kind of clue as to where she had gone. She told me that she was going to go gamble with some old friends of hers but never really told me where. Therefore I went up to her room and then looked around for any sign as to where she had gone. I didn't find anything at first but then I noticed something sticking out of the dresser. I opened one of the drawers and revealed a note that she had put away. I read it and couldn't believe what it said. I didn't know the exact details but I know someone who would be glad to help me out.
Knocking on the door to Mariko's place, the door opened and there she was standing there in
her usual suit. She let me in where she served me a glass of tea and then we sat down and chatted for a while catching up on each other. Then I showed Mariko the note and asked her what it had meant. Mariko read the note for a while trying to figure out what it was saying and then finally she looked at me and said,
"This seems very odd. Mayu's parents were trash there's no way they would have money for her. Something is up.. Did you try calling her?"
"I did but her phone is off."
"Hmm I see.. Well listen you go home and relax for now and I'll call you when I get any new leads ok?"
"Ok thank you Mariko."
"No problem. Take care now."
I left Mariko's place and then went back to the house only to be greeted with a bullet shooting past my head. I looked out and saw five men all in black with big guns. When they saw me they all took aim and it appeared they were getting ready to fire. Then suddenly I felt myself get pulled down and taken somewhere else. I tried to struggle but the person covered my mouth and then said,
"Yuki relax it's me Rena."
Knowing Rena had me made me feel a little safer but still there were men in the house with guns probably trying to kill us. Rena used a mirror to look over the couch we were hiding behind to see how many men were there. The same five were still there so Rena looked at me and then gave me a crazy smile. I knew what that smile meant and although I was against it, I thought now would be a good time for it. I nodded and Rena's smile flashed to a grin and then a giggle after that. She closed my eyes and told me not to open them until she told me to and then she was off. I couldn't see but I could hear shots being fired and screams along with the sound of bones cracking and the giggle of Rena. There was still noise until the last shot was fired and a loud thud was heard. There was silence and then Rena said,
"You can open your eyes now."
I opened my eyes and then looked out only to see a bloody messed and five badly beaten men on the ground all dead. I looked at Rena who only smiled and said she would start the clean up right away. At the same time I got a call from Mariko and so I picked up.
"Hello?"
"Yuki where did Mayu say she was going?" she asked.
"She didn't say, only that she was going to go gambling with old friends of hers and then I found the note. Did you get anything?"
"Well I tracked her phone to the last spot she was at when it was on and located it on a highway close to the house she was heading to. You know what this means Yuki.."
"You mean.. Mayu's missing?"
