@cisda83: Thank you!
Yes, Atsuko is very innocent in here. You got good questions about her. Those will be revealed more in the future chapters.
Thank you everyone for reading my fic
Here is chapter 10
Chapter 10: Attack
In the early morningWhile Minami is walking around his garden, he hears his phone rings. He takes it out and sees his father is calling him
“Hello dad” Minami picks up the phone and said
(Minami, I finally arranged time for Acchan to meet uncle Ryuu. Today, at 9:00 a.m, you all come to Maeda private hospital. I will send you the direction where you need to go)
“Ok dad, I will tell Acchan and the rest” Minami quickly said
Then he hangs up and rushes back into his house. When Minami reaches the house, he sees Jun and Mayu are sitting on the chair drinking coffee in front of the house.
“Morning Takamina” Jun said
Seeing his hurried face, Mayu asks
“Why you look so hurry?”
“My dad just called me, he said that Acchan can go visit President Ryuu. We will come there and meet him at 9” Minami said
“Really, that is great.” Jun and Mayu said
Then they come together to the house to tell Atsuko, Rena, and Yuki. They come into the house at the same time Atsuko, Rena, and Yuki walk down from the stair
“Hi everyone” Jun and Mayu said
“Hey” Yuki and Rena said
Seeing Minami, Atsuko looks down and hides behind Rena and Yuki. Minami sighs silent when noticing Atsuko’s strange behavior
“Acchan, Takamina said that his father just called him. He said that you can visit your grandfather today” Jun said
“Really? I can see grandfather?” Rena said happily
Hearing what Jun said, Atsuko looks up happily. Minami notices that her eyes lit up in happiness. He feels happy when he sees her happy face.
Rena and Yuki look at each other, and then both of them turn to Atsuko and smile happily. Atsuko also smiles widely because of the news
After preparing everything, they quickly come out of the house. Today, they all will use the car van to go to the hospital together. Jun is the one who drive the car, and Mayu is sitting next to him. Rena and Yuki are sitting in the middle seats. Atsuko comes in the sit at the back of the car. Lastly Minami comes in and also sits at the back seat.
When Minami is about to turn to smile at her, Atsuko moves away from him and looking down silently. Minami sighs when seeing her action. He turns and looks at the window. The true is he looking at her through the window and sees that she still looking down
“How can I say sorry to him?” he thought and sighs to himself again
After awhileThe car reaches the private hospital. However, they didn’t drive to the front of the place. Jun turns the car to a small alley where Minami’s father told them. After that Jun makes a left turn and then a right turn. Then they sees a small house with a garage in front.
Mayu tabs the open button on his phone to open the garage for them. After park the car, they leave the car and go into the house
Inside the houseMinami’s father is sitting on the sofa waiting for them
“Father” Minami bows at him
“Uncle” Jun and Mayu greet him
“Uncle Kai” Rena, Yuki, and Atsuko greet him
“Good morning you all” Kai said while standing up
“Follow me” he continues while walking toward the door
They follow Kai to the door
“This is the way leads to the Maeda private hospital where uncle Ryuu is. This is how police protect president of Maeda clan. Only my father and me know about this. Now you 6 know about this. You have to keep this as a secret for Maeda’s sake.” Kai explains while they walking in a secret way.
The way is protected with security camera and there are a lot of doors to walk through. Each of the door requires identity from Kai to open.
After walking for awhile, they reach a big door. Kai types the password and then puts his thumb on the screen to let it read his fingerprint. Then the door opens showing a big patient room
“Acchan, Yuki, Mizuki, come in there. Uncle Ryuu is in there. Take your time. The other door won't open until I open it. Even the Maeda members can't come in.” Kai said
“Thank you, uncle Kai” Rena said
Then the three come into Ryuu’s room. After that Kai closes the door, Minami, Jun, and Mayu follow Kai to a room next to it to wait for Atsuko, Rena, and Yuki.
Inside Ryuu’s roomAtsuko quickly rushes to her grandpa. He is lying on the bed while an oxygen mask is on his face. She kneel down and holds his hand tightly
“Grandpa, Atsu is here. Atsu is here to visit you” Atsuko said in tear
“Grandpa, please wake up and talk to Atsu. Grandpa promised to take Atsu to watch stars on Atsu’s birthday, right?” Atsuko shakes his arm and said while choking
Rena and Yuki look at Atsuko who is crying very hard with sad eyes. Tear is slowly building up on their eyes
“Acchan, don't cry. I'm sure that grandfather will wake up soon when knowing you came here to visit him” Rena sits down and said gently
“That's right Acchan, Yuki-neechan sure that grandfather will wake up very, very soon, and he will be fine and very healthy.” Yuki wipes her tear and said
“Really?” Atsuko asks
“Of course. Did Rena and I ever wrong when telling you something?” Yuki said
Atsuko shakes her head
“No” she said
“That's right. You don't have to be sad. Grandfather will be fine. After that we will go and watch a lot of beautiful stars ok” Rena said
“Ok” Atsuko smiles and said
“Good girl” Yuki pats her head and said
“Now Acchan, let’s tell grandfather a lot of things that he doesn’t know in the island. You told me you have a lot of stories about animal there, right?” Rena said
“Yes, I have a lot of thing to tell grandpa” Atsuko said
Then she turns to Ryuu and said
“Grandpa, Atsu has a lot of things I want to tell you.”
At the same time, Rena and Yuki look at Ryuu and thought
“Grandfather Ryuu, I promise, I will protect Acchan no matter what”
Meanwhile
In the next roomWhile waiting for Atsuko and the rest, Kai shows Minami's group what they asked him the other day
“This is all the information of Maeda clan that I ordered my men to gather for you three” Kai said while giving Minami the USB
“Thank you dad” Minami takes the USB and said
“Since we still have time, I will briefly explain for you three about Maeda members who are most likely doing that” Kai said
Then he turns on the big screen in the room to show Minami, Jun and Mayu the information.
“The first person is Maeda Tora, uncle Ryuu’s younger brother. He is also currently vice-president in Maeda group.” Kai said while pointing at the person in the first slide
He looks about between 60 years old.
“Uhm...he has a son, Maeda Oda. His son is in jail because of embezzlement.” Jun said
“Uh, and the person who turned him in is uncle Ryuu” Kai nods and changes the slide
“Last year, Maeda Oda stole about half million dollar for his gambling. However, his work is not only in one year. The total money that he stole is a lot more than that number” he continues
“I see. So Maeda Tora could be a suspect.” Minami suggests
“Correct, his only son is now in jail because of Mr. Ryuu” Mayu said
“That is a possibility. I’ll let you guys find out more” Kai said
Then he changes to another slide. The slide shows a beautiful and gorgeous lady.
“This is the eldest daughter of uncle Ryuu. I already told guys about her before. Her name is Maeda Ayano. She went missing 26 years ago” Kai said
“Went missing, what do you mean by that term, dad?” Minami asks
“Did someone kidnap her?” Jun asks
“Or something happened to her?” Mayu asks
“Let’s me rephrase that, she didn’t go missing, she left Maeda clan 26 years ago” Kai said
“She left Maeda clan, huh?” Minami thought
“Could it be that she now want to return to take the inheritance?” Jun said
“That could be, but it is not possible. She is originally the first born. If she wants all Maeda power, then she wouldn’t leave” Mayu said
“You got the point” Jun nods and said
“Dad, until now, there is still not any news about her?” Minami asks
“No, no one know where she is now” Kai shakes his head and said
“I see.” Minami looks at the picture and said
Suddenly, something flashes in his head
“I’m sorry dad, but before you continues, I have a question” Minami said
“What's it, Minami?” Kai asks
“Why did she leave, dad? Did she really leave?” Minami asks
“Uhm.. she really left, but that is Maeda clan personal matter. I can't say it” Kai leans on his chair and said
“I see” Minami said
Then Kai turns back and continues the slide
“The second son is Maeda Hayate. He manages one of the branches of Maeda group in Osaka” Kai said
“He married to a model and has a daughter who is a lawyer in Tokyo. He also has a son, but he is a player who always fooling around all the night club. Since the incident happened to uncle Ryuu, he and his family came back here to helping the company here with other Maeda members” he continues
“Is he really come back to help or because of the properties” Mayu looks at his file and said
“Uh...you got the point. He seems too suspicious to me” Jun nods and said
“He nearly got the company over there went bankrupt because of a fake contract 5 years ago. Thank to uncle Ryuu that the problem is solved. After that incident, uncle nearly fire him out of the company. However, because he begged for him and promised to manage the company more serious, that is why he agreed to let him manage it. However not after he walks his way back there from an employee.” Kai said
“An employee?” Minami asks
“Yes, he had to do everything a new employee do, and do everything to qualify for a promotion, or he will never get back to his position. After 4 years, he finally can get back to his place when making the company grow better.” Kai said
“Then I guess he is not a total useless if he can get back to his position now” Minami said
“Yea! Seem like he accomplished something” Jun said
“You can say that, but don’t let your guard down around him just because of that” Kai said
“We will, especially his son” Minami said while looking at the man on the screen.
“Yes, his son looks dangerous” Mayu comments while looking at the man with tattoo all over both of his hands
“Uh” Kai nods
Then he changes the slide
“Uncle third daughter is Maeda Hinata. She is the surgery doctor in this hospital. her husband is the CEO in Maeda group in Tokyo. She has two son. Her eldest son is working in Maeda company, and her second son is working in this hospital” Kai said
“Her son is a doctor? Who is the doctor that treating for Mr. president, dad?” Minami asks
“It is neither of them. Uncle Ryuu has his own doctor. He is the grandson of his best friend who is also your grandfather’s best friend” Kai said
“Grandfather’s friend?” Minami said
“Uh” Kai nods
“I see” Minami said
“About her husband, does he is CEO before or after marrying her, uncle?” Jun asks
“He is already a CEO before marrying Hinata. Because he is a good businessman, that is why uncle Ryuu arrange that marriage” Kai said
“I see” the three nods
“Is there anything special about Mrs. Maeda dad?” Minami asks
“Uhm...she is a very nice person. Her background is also very clear.” Kai said
“I see. How about her two sons?” Mayu asks
“They seem normal, but you guys have to find out more about them” Kai said
“Yes” the three nods
“Lastly is Acchan’s father, Maeda Heiji. He is the most promising child of uncle Ryuu. He is uncle Ryuu’s pride and everything. He is very good at business with a strong head. His wife, Acchan’s mother, Maeda Kawachi Nami is also a very smart person in business. They helped the company grow very fast, and they also helped it get worldwide to more countries. That is why he chose Heiji as the heir of Maeda clan. However, his wish never come true when someone killed Heiji and his wife” Kai sighs and said
“How can Acchan escaped dad?” Minami asks
“At that time, she was with uncle Ryuu. He took her out to play with him” Kai said
“I see.”
While they are talking, they hear the sound indicate the door opens
“You guys continues to look at their file. Now let’s go. I guess they are done” Kai stands up and said
Minami, Jun, and Mayu stand up and leave the room. Then they take Atsuko, Rena, and Mayu back to Takahashi mansion
In the evening
In front of a big auditoriumA small black van stops at the faculty parking. Jun, Mayu, and Minami come out, and they open the door for Atsuko, Rena, and Yuki. Then they come to the stadium by the back door. There is a card reader on the side of the door which is used to verify the identity.
“Ok guys, before we come in, my mom gave this to us. This is ID for authorized people only. We
need this to go into her place.” Mayu said while giving them the card.
After everyone wear the card on their neck, Mayu slide the card to open the door. After opening the door, Mayu leads the group to the stage where his mother is rehearsing. He opens the door and said
“Come on in guys”
Atsuko, Rena, and Yuki walk in first. Then Jun, Minami, and Mayu walk in.
Yuki looks around the auditorium in aww.
“It is so great” she thought.
She has never been in an auditorium before because she always stays in the island. She only sees this through videos.
“How was it, Yuki?” Mayu comes next to her and asks
“This place is so wonderful, Mayu. I had never been in a real place like this before. It is so great.” Yuki said happily
“Thank you, Mayu” she continues
“I’m glad you like it.” Mayu said
“Come on, let’s go to the stage. My mom is there” Mayu said
“Ok” Yuki nods
Then all of them come down to the stage. When Yuki is near the stage, she sees a very gorgeous woman standing near the piano. The woman is Mayu’s mother, her idol, Minamoto Ayumi.
“Minamoto Ayumi” Yuki mumbles Mayu’s mother name
Her heart is filled with joy when seeing her most idol. She has been her fan since she was little. She watched all her performances, read all her interviews, and all other things about her. When they reach the place, Mayu calls his mother
“Mom” The woman turns and smiles at the group
“Mayu, you are here” Ayumi smiles and said
Then she walks down from the stage and comes to them.
“Hello auntie” Jun and Minami greet her
“Hello Takamina, Jun” Ayumi smiles and said
Atsuko, Rena and Yuki bow at her respectively
“Mayu, care to introduce your friends to me” Ayumi turns to Mayu and said
“Yes mom” Mayu said
“The person over there, standing next to Takamina is Mizuki. Next to him is his cousin, A...I mean Rena.”
FlashbackAtsuko, Rena, and Yuki are sitting in the study room with Minami, Jun, and Mayu. they are talking about going to Mayu’s mother rehearsal place.
“This evening we will go to the auditorium. However, we can’t introduce Acchan’s real name to her” Minami said
“That is correct. We have to come up with a name.” Mayu said
“So what do you guys think?” Jun turns to Atsuko, Rena, and Yuki and asks
“Uhm...how about you guys introduce me as Rena” Rena said
“Rena?” Jun repeats
“Yes, just call me Rena when we are there.” Rena smiles and said
“Ok, that settle” Mayu said
“By the way, we couldn’t just introduce Mizuki as Acchan’s butler, right?” Yuki said
“Right, we have to introduce you three as normal people” Minami said
“Uhm...how about cousin. He will be cousin of Acchan and Yuki” Jun suggests
“That is a good idea. Let’s go with that” Rena and Yuki said
End flashback“Lastly, the beautiful lady next to me is Yuki. She is also Mizuki’s cousin, and she is Rena’s sister.” Mayu introduces Yuki
His words make Yuki blush
“Hey Mayu, there is a little unfair in your introduction.” Rena teases
“Is it?” Mayu asks innocently
“It sure is” Jun said
“It is because if I add something on, there is a certain person will kill me right away” Mayu glares at Jun and said while giggling
“If there is any additional, I think Jun will be the one add it, right Rena?” he continues
Mayu’s tease makes Rena blush
“W...why did you ask me?” Rena stutters
Ayumi looks at her son teasing his friends happily.
“Mayu” She calls him
“What is it, mom?” Mayu turns to her
“Yuki-chan is the girl you told me the day you came back home from your work, right? A beautiful and gorgeous girl that you have ever met. Seem like you really like her” Ayumi said
Mayu blushes at her words. Yuki also looks down shyly because of that
“Mo...mom what are you saying?” he stutters shyly
“Oh so I’m wrong. She is not the person you told me. Hm… I wonder who is the person name Yuki then” Ayumi said
“You said that she also want to see me, right? When will she come here, Mayu?” She asks
“Mom, Yuki is Yuki. Who else? I already told you that I will bring her here” Mayu said
Ayumi looks at her son and giggles. This is the first time she sees him blushing because of embarrassment
“I see. Then I'm not wrong about earlier” Ayumi said
“Mom” Mayu calls her while blushing
Everyone looks at Mayu and giggles at his action.
“M...mom, you should go back to your rehearsal and stage set up, right?” Mayu turns to his mother and said hoping to stop this embarrassing topic
“Aww, my little Mayu-chan is embarrassing. This is the first time I saw this. How cutes? I have to tell your dad about this” Ayumi continues teasing her son
“Mom, don’t call me that in front of my friends. Especially…” Mayu mumbles the last parts while secretly looking at Yuki
“Ok, ok, you don’t want to be embarrassed in front of Yuki-chan, right?” Ayumi said
When Mayu is about to say something, Ayumi turns and calls Yuki
“Yuki-chan, I heard Mayu said that you like piano, right?”
“Yes, I love playing piano. Minamoto-san, you are the reason I learn playing it. I watched you since I was little, and I love the music you play. I’m your very big fan. I’m happy to meet you today” Yuki happily said
Ayumi smiles gently at Yuki and said
“Just call me auntie, Yuki-chan”
“Mizuki and Rena-chan too. just call me auntie. Don’t be so formal” she said to them
“Yes” they said
Afar from themThere is a person hides behind the curtain looking at them.
Back to the group“Yuki-chan, do you want to come to the stage and see my work?” Ayumi asks
“Can I?” Yuki asks in happy tone
“Of course.” Ayumi smiles and said
“Thank you, auntie” Yuki said happily
Then Ayumi turns and calls someone
“Aya”
“Yes, sensei” A girl walks and bows at her
“Her name is Saeki Aya. She is my student.” Ayumi introduces her
“Aya, can you take my guess to a tour around this place?” she asks
“Yes, sensei” Aya said
“Thank you Aya” Mayu smiles and said
“Y...you’re welcome Mayu-san” Aya said
“I have to go back to my work now. Aya will take you all around this auditorium. There is a lot of interesting in here because this auditorium is very old with a lot of tradition” Ayumi turns to Minami’s group and said
“Thank you, auntie” Minami said
“Have fun, you guys” Ayumi said
Then Yuki and Mayu follow Ayumi back to the stage while Aya lead Atsuko, Minami, Jun, and Rena around the place.
When they just steps out of the room, Atsuko said
“You guys just go ahead. I will sit inside the room and listen to the rehearsal”
“You don’t want to go around, Mizuki?” Rena asks
“Uh, I don’t feel well. I guess I will just sit down in there” Atsuko said
She doesn’t in the mood to going somewhere because she still worries about her grandpa. Also, she still doesn’t want to go with Minami because of worrying she will annoy him again
“Then I will stay here with you” Rena said
“No, you guys just go ahead. I will just sit in there. Don’t worry” Atsuko said
“Uhm...I guess Yuki and Mayu in there.” Rena thought
“Ok. Sit there and don’t go around alone, ok” she said to Atsuko
“Uh, I know” Atsuko nods and said
Then she walks back into the room
“Jun and Rena, you guys just go ahead. I will stay to watch the rehearsal too” Minami said
“Ok. go ahead” Jun said
Then Minami also goes back into the place. Rena looks at the big door and thought worriedly
“Will she be ok?”
Noticing that, Jun whispers
“Mizuki will be fine, Rena. Takamina is with him”
“Uh” Rena nods
“Let’s go, Saeki-san” Jun said
“Ok, come with me” Aya said
Meanwhile
Back to AtsukoWhile Atsuko is looking at the stage where Yuki is, she hears something sitting down behind her. Curious she turns around, but then she quickly turns back when seeing Minami.
“You don’t have to sit here with me, you know” Atsuko said
“B...because I want to” Minami said
Then silent fills between them. Minami sits there looking at her. He still doesn’t know how to talk to her.
Back to Jun and RenaAya takes Jun and Rena around the auditorium and tell them about the history and everything about the place.
When they reach the museum, Jun said
“You can go back now Saeki-san. We can look around here by ourselves”
“Ok” Aya nods
“Thank you for your time” Jun said
“You’re welcome” Aya said and leaves the place
Now it is only Rena and Jun in the auditorium because this time, the place is already closed. Rena walks around the museum while looking at the instruments. Jun looks at her and smiles
“Now it is only us. It feels like a real date” he thought happily
Then he slowly comes near Rena
“Uhm...Rena” He calls her
“What is it, Jun?” Rena looks at him and asks
“Do you like this place, Rena?” Jun asks
“Uh, it looks very great. Though I don’t have the love of music like Yuki, but I also like music. Plus, this is the first time, I actually come to an auditorium like this. I feel very happy and special” Rena smiles and said
Jun just stands there and looks at Rena’s smile. He loves her beautiful smile
After about 1 and half hourThe rehearsal is finished.
Rena and Jun also came back to the room, and are sitting at the same place with Atsuko and Minami. Then they see Mayu and Yuki come to them together with Ayumi
“Thank you everyone for coming here today to watch my rehearsal” Ayumi said
“It should be our thank for letting us in here.” Rena said
“Yes, thank you for everything. I learned a lot from you today” Yuki said
“Your music is very great. Though it is just a rehearsal, I love it very much” Atsuko adds
“Thank you Yuki-chan, Rena-chan, Mizuki” Ayumi said
They stand there talking for awhile. Then they say goodbye to Ayumi and go back Takahashi mansion
On the road near the mansionWhile driving, suddenly something jump in front of the car causing Jun to push the brake immediately. His sudden brake plus the car is going in a very fast speed makes the car turn arounds. Mayu quickly holds the handle to stable himself. Rena and Yuki are also very surprised. They immediately hold the car handle to stable themselves. However, Atsuko is not react fast because of the surprise. When they car turn around, she lost her balance and falls toward. Seeing that, Minami quickly catches her pulling her to his hold
“Hold me tight” Minami said
The car turns a few circles and then stops completely
“Are you ok, Mizuki?” Minami asks
“U...uh...thank you” Atsuko quickly sits up and said
“What is it, Jun, Mayu?” Minami asks
“There is something suddenly jump in front of our car” Mayu said
“Takamina, you sit in here and protect Acchan. Mayu and I will go and check for it” Jun said
Then the two come out and use the flashlight to look around. They walk around and use the flashlight to look at everything. However they didn't see anything.
“Weird, I definitely sure that I saw something jump in front of the car” Jun said
“Me too.” Mayu said
“Maybe a cat or some animal” Jun said
“I think so too.” Mayu nods and said
“Let’s go back to the car. It is getting dark now. It is dangerous here” Jun said
“OK” Mayu and Jun walk back to the car.
They walk around to check on it before going inside it. Then Jun see one of the tire is flat.
“We have a problem, Mayu” he said
“What is it, Jun?” Mayu walks to Jun’s side and said
“The tire is flatted. Maybe because of the friction” Jun said
“We still have a backup tire” Mayu said
“Great, go and tell everyone. I will take the tire on the back of the car” Jun said
“Ok” Mayu nods
Then all of them leave the car for Mayu and Jun changing the tire. Atsuko, Rena, and Yuki are standing near the car. Minami is standing in front of them while using his flashlight looking around cautiously
Suddenly a group of men rushing out surrounding them. They are wearing mask on their face. On their head, they are wearing a hat with a flashlight on it. Jun and Mayu are fixing the tire, seeing that, they rush to Minami’s place blocking Rena, Yuki, and Atsuko protecting them
“Who are you?” Minami asks
They stay silent.
“What do you want?” Jun asks
“Catch Maeda Atsuko” a man said
Then the masked men rush to Minami and the rest. Minami and Mayu block them
“Jun, open the door of the car for Acchan, Yuki and Mizuki” Minami said while taking down two men rushing to him
He kicks the man on his left at his knee and punches the man in front of him by his temple
“Ok” Jun nods and pushes the button on the key.
“Get in the car” Mayu said while taking the man who rushing to Atsuko, Rena, and Yuki
“Get on, Mizuki” Rena said
However when Atsuko just steps in the car, a gun points at her head. It makes Rena and Yuki very surprise. Jun quickly pull them out of there and moves back toward Minami and Mayu
“Don’t anybody move” the man shouts
Minami and Mayu turn around and see Atsuko is keeping hostage. The men stop fighting and rush to their leader
“Mizuki” Minami calls Atsuko worriedly
“Release him now” Jun said while raising his gun
Mayu also raises his gun at him
“Look at your position, Mr. police” the man said
Then a black car rushes to the group of masked man and park near them
“Maeda Atsuko, come inside this car or I will shoot this man” the man said
“Please don’t shoot” Rena steps up and said
“Acchan, don’t” Jun pulls her back and said
“But Mizuki is in danger” Rena said
“Come here now” he said and puts the gun on Atsuko’s head
“Mizuki” Yuki calls worried
“Yuki, danger” Mayu said
“Surrender now and release Mizuki. You can’t escape” Jun said
“Really? I will count to 3. If Maeda Atsuko doesn’t come here, I put this silver candy into his head
“1” the man starts counting
“Mizuki” Rena calls and rushes to them
However, Jun holds her back and said
“Acchan, don’t”
“I have to save Mizuki” Rena said in worried tone
“Of course. I will save him, but my main job is protecting you” Jun said
“2”
The man keeps counting
“Acchan” Yuki and Rena thought worriedly while looking at Mizuki
Atsuko looks at them worriedly
“Rena-neechan, Yuki-neechan” she thought while tear building in her eyes
“What is the point I’m her bodyguard, but can’t protect her.” Rena thought angrily
When she is about to rush to the masked man
“3”
*Bang*
The gunshot echoes through the silent road
