Chapter 15

Himeko POV

I was in my class listening to the lecture. Not quiet though. My mind was filled with Meimei. The way she looked at Okogi was something I never saw her give to anyone before. It was like she was looking at something lovely which blessed her eyes. That brat Okogi is trying to steal my Meimei. I mean I know that she had the biggest crush on Meimei. Before, it was impossible but now she has changed a lot. Now I'm regretting, Why didn't I chose the same subject as Meimei. At least I could sit next to her everyday. I have to make a move before Okogi makes any.

After all the class

Now I was on my way to the council room cause today was our council duty day. I walked as quickly as possible. I want to see Meimei. Today I will make a move. As I walked inside the council room I saw the most beautiful view. Meimei. My dear Meimei.

"Hey Himeko."- I was softly greeted with a  warm look on her face. But I don't want that look. I want the look she gave to Okogi. Why won't she give that look to me? I got closer to Mei as I started to stroke her hair softly.

"Do you remember Meimei, I always combed your hair when we were little."

"Yes"

I got more close to her as I whispered.

"Meimei you could think I'm just your friend but I want to be more than just a friend to you."- I said as I slipped my hand under her shirt going upwards to her chest but she stopped me.

"H-himeko! We are in school!"- She whisper shouted to me. I ignored her words as I started to lick her ears.

"Hi-himeko. H-hmm..stop."- She moaned quietly. I want to make you scream my name Meimei. I will make you mine. I stood in front of her as I sat on her lap face to face. I started to nibble her ear. I know your weak spot Meimei. Plz be mine. I blowed on ear and already I could see her flustered face. 

"Lets cross the line Meimei."- I whispered as I started to reach for her lips. Almost there-

"Yo Mei! You forgot yo-"- Someone burst in. I looked at her annoyed.

"Didn't your parents teach you to knoc-"- I stopped on my words as I saw the familiar face. Okogi Yuzu. I stopped what I was doing as I got up from Mei's lap fixing myself.

"Yuzu! It's not what it looks-

"Mei sorry to interrupt. Pls carry on with the thing you were doing."- Yuzu said coldly. I'm sure she was not happy but more like mad and disappointed. Though I didn't felt sad. I felt happy. Stay away from my Meimei.

"Yuzu! Let me explain!"

"Hey chill. I'm happy if you're happy"- With that, Okogi left the room shutting the door forcely. I feel so happy right now.

"Uh!?"- I grasped as I saw Mei holding her chest tightly with a hurt, sad and all kinds of mysterious feelings. This look. What did I do?! I hurt Meimei?

"Mei"

"Get out!"

"Mei I'm sorr-

"Get out!....Please."

I didn't say anything. I just got out of there with a guilty face.

Yuzu pov

What the hell was that Yuzu! 'If you're happy, I'm happy?'. Thats true but I didn't even give Mei the chance to explain. But what if they were dating. Did I lose my chance? Urg!! We'll have a talk at home later but now I have to go to our new headquarters. I was kinda surprised when gramps said I will be in charge of it. As the decision was made out of nowhere, no one but me and my men will know about it. But It should have been better to let them know too.

"Hello Ma'am."- I was startled by Rycho who was with my bike.

"Yeah..hello. Any information about Amiya Higashi?"

"Yes. Amiya Higashi is recently visiting the Tong family's younger daughter Lori Tong. She is a University masters student. For what her neighbour told me, she is a sweet girl but deeply in love with Amiya. It seems like they are going out."

"From what I've heard, the Tong family got bankrupt recently."

"Yes It has. So I think he is only using Ms.Aihara."

"yes. From what I know he was caught raping a girl once too." 

"Hmm..Oh! But Ma'am when I checked his criminal records, It didn't have anything like caught raping or something."

"Nice Rycho.....if thats the story..then..there could be a possibility that someone might have hid the raping case documents."- I said as I scratched my chin.

"But who could it be? cause It's not possible to hide this documents from our main cyber system."

"Unless someone erases it from inside the headquarters...Rycho no one should know about this talk. Understood?"

"Yes Ma'am"

"Ok after visiting, give me everyone's details who could be related or worked with the Higashi family. Don't let a tiny detail slip away."

"But all the members details and works are locked. Only the chairman can unlock it."

"Hah! Who do you think I am Rycho. The next heir of this organization."

"Never expected less from you Ma'am."- Rycho Chuckled.

"Ok Now get on."- I said as I sat on the bike.

"Wha-what!"- Rycho kinda freaked out.

"Why? Did you expected me to be someone who leaves their comrade behind?!"

"No. Thats not it." I could say that he was kinda shy. Haha funny guy. He sat behind me as he held the bike's backside. That's good. This guy knows how to keep distance. Now lets go.

After 10 minutes we were in front of an alley.

"Aa..Ma'am you sure that this is the place?"- Rycho said as he got off the bike. He looked kinda out of breath.

"I don't know but we'll figure it out."- I winked. But I don't know why but Rycho looked away covering his face. Odd. Whatever. We went inside the alley as we looked around.

"There should be a small cafe here."

We walked further until it went to a dead end. We saw a small door saying 'Coffee shop'.

"Do you think this is the headquarters."- I asked Rycho.

"I don't know it looks a little small tho."

"We'll see when we go in."

I pushed the door as I went in and it was actually kinda small. There were 4 men sitting on a table playing cards and laughing. They were agents I guess. Me and Rycho took a sit on the counter.

"What would you like to have Ma'am and sir?"

I smirked. "How about the Okogi institute."- I said as I gave a sweet smile. The waiter glaired at me for a while.

"Who are you?"

"An officer."- I playfully said. The waiter smirked.

"I'm the 4th highest ranked officer here, officer."- He said the officer part loudly.

"I didn't ask that tho."- I smirked back. I don't know what was this situation but Rycho stepped in.

"Sir, We are here to see the institute."- Rycho said as he cleared his throat.

"Oh..Is that so? But you should know that no one can enter unless they work here."-He said seriously. Wow It's getting pretty interesting. I'm having fun.

"Sir, Do you even know who she is?"- Rycho said annoyed. Guess he wasn't having fun.

"I don't care. Rules are rules. Don't challenge me, I'm busy. I'll let you go cause Ms.Okogi will come today."- He said quietly looking happy. Woooooo. That blush on his face.

"Guess some one has a crush on Ms.Okogi."-Rycho said with a smirk. The waiter trembled a bit and blushed. I was here for work but now I think it will be fun. Heh.

"N-no. I-i just admire her work. Why am I even telling you this?! Get out."

"What's is happening here?!"- We were stopped by a strict voice. A man came from the back of the counter. I knew him. He was one of the man who Sho sent to assist me. What was his name? Oh yeah Collins Patron. He is half japanese I guess. 

"Oh Chief. This outsiders just were wanting to enter the institute thats all."

Collins looked at me and Rycho as his eyes widen.

"Yo Collins dude. Is everyone here?"- Rycho questioned him. Yes all the men who were working on assisting me are also here but inside.

"Yes they are here."- He said as he looked at me.

"I'm really sorry ma'am. He is new around here. Please pardon him."- Collins said as he bowed.

"I don't mind. It was actually pretty nice to that you guys are being strict about these things."- I chuckled.

"Wait why are you sorry to her Collins senpai!?"- He was confuse as ****.

"Shut up."-Collins smacked him on his head. Why am I getting a Harumin and Matsuri vibes here?

"This is Yuzuko Okogi. She is an ace ranked officer and also the next heir of the Okogi institute and Ms.Okogi, this is Hiro Misusawa, a platinum ranked officer and also new here and lastly, I am collins Patron, a crown ranked officer and also was the temporary head of this institute."- Collins respectfully said. So Hiro is a Misusawa huh.

After the introduction Hiro bowed to me. "I'm really sorry Madam Okogi. Please forgive me."

"Hey hey chill. You didn't know"-I said.

"Ma'am I'm your biggest fan. You are very talented and skilled in everything. I heard a lot about you from Matsu like how you trained her and all."- Wooo Hiro's eyes were glowing.

"You mean Matsuri?"

"Yes! I am her cousin. Although I'm older than her, she is way skilled than I am and- Ouch!"- Collins smacked hiro's head again. Why do I keep having HaruMatsu vibes about their actions but they do look a good couple tho. Urgh! I've been reading too much Mangas these days.

"Ms Don't mind him. Lets go inside the institute and you, Hiro, stay here and do your job."-Collins said as he started to show us the way. There was a door behind the kitchen counter. We went in as I saw many cups, plates and a statue of a car which were organized in shelves. There were also a book shelve. Collins held the car made out of glass and twisted it and suddenly the book shelve started to move and soon there was a big metal door which opened a big passage to the underground. We walked almost 13 feet under the ground and there was another metal door. This time you needed password to open the door.

"The password always generates randomly. So either someone has to to open the door from inside or you have to scan your eyes. So Ma'am please."- Collins said as he pointed to a hole on the door. I was guessing it was a scanner. As soon as I put my eyes in the hole a blue light was seen. Some second later when scanning was done, the door opened. I heard a faint 'Wow' from Rycho. This is a fat *** office. It's quiet impressive that it was build underground. There were many desks where officers were working. There also was a weapon room, meeting room, 2 special training rooms, jail, equipment room, 20 office rooms, computer lab, testing lab and many more. This sure is a big project.  After an hour of our small tour, everybody was called in the meeting room.

"Hello everyone, I'm Yuzuko Okogi. I'm an ace 1 ranked officer and also the next heir of the Okogi institute. From now on I'll be in charge of this branch. So give me all you've got."- I said with my brightest smile. Hearing me everyone clapped. After the meeting, I was shown my office. I discussed somethings with Collins and Rycho. Then We left the institute.

"Ma'am hehe um..Can I go by myself this time please."-He said as he nervously laughed.

"Why."- I said strictly.

"Ma'am please don't kill me but we almost got into an accident three times already-

"But we didn't right."

"Wh-what."

"Yes I am a pro driver. So I helped us get out of there."

"Um..but still you drive like crazy no I mean good but a little tiny bit rush?"

I laughed as I gave a smile. "Ok ok..you can go today but you should get used to me."

"Ok so bye Ma'am. Have a safe ride."

Rycho threw a sweet smile at me and ran like a kid who is free from homework or something. I again laughed. This boy. After I couldn't see Rycho anymore I turned around facing the wall.

"Matsuri. Ya know You can come now."-I said looking at the wall. Suddenly a pink haired female jumped from the wall landing on the ground smoothly.

"Guess Yuzu-chan is still good at spotting people like before."- Matsuri smirked as she clapped.

"Cut it out. What are you doing here? The list I've checked said you should be on a mission right now."- I said strictly.

"The mission is over. But my gloves got ripped while I was fighting with him. So I was here to change them ya know."

"Wow. So lets see how good you've become"- I smirked like a devil as I ran towards Matsuri.

"Knew it. Didn't expect less."-Matsuri said as she changed her position quickly. She pulled out two big daggers from her two pockets.

She ran straight towards me and suddenly changed her direction toward right and bam! She punched me and I blocked without even looking at her and slammed her on the ground. She quickly got up and changed her position. She again ran towards me as she swung her dagger at me. I stepped back as I avoided being stabbed. Another stab and another. I avoided again. She again swung her dagger from right. This time I held her hand tightly. She smirked as she swung another dagger from left. I quickly gave my weight on her body while I did a back flip over her head as I kicked her right hand's dagger. It flew on the ground.

"One gone. One more to go."-I smirked as I ran towards her giving her a punch but she blocked easily but I could tell she used a lot of energy to block that. So her energy is falling down. I gave  her a kick as she tried to block it but didn't make it on time. She groaned in pain. Her reaction speed is also kind off. I punched her again. As soon as she blocked she slid a kick on my stomach which I blocked with my cat like reflexes. She instantly swung her left dagger. I immediately stepped back as the dagger ripped a small part of my shirt. It was nothing. Matsuri didn't gave me a sec to breath, she pushed me against the wall as she held my back tightly. She tried to place her dagger on my neck but I held her hand. As she was struggling getting out of my grip, I also was trying to get out of her grip. As expected, her breath was running low. This bitch didn't properly trained while I was gone. I elbowed her as I pushed the wall with my legs doing another backflip over her head. I slammed her against the ground and kicked her left dagger out of her hand. I pulled out my gun and placed it on her head.

"Woooo Yuzu-chan I give up."- Matsuri smiled. I put back my gun in my pocket as I helped her up.

"Yuzu-chan don't you think it's unfair. I mean you're an ace and I'm in diamond."- She said brushing of her cloths. I smacked her.

"Ouch! you've already kicked my *** ya know."

"Matsuri your reaction speed and your stamina sucks."- I said as I sighed.

"Yep. Taniguchi-senpai sucked them out yesterday."

"Ugh! Matsuri!! Meet me the day after tomorrow here. We'll be training like old times."

"What! But the day after tomorrow is my day off."- Matsuri whined.

"You have to improve your skills. So no Buts."

"Ok fine. So will you wait for me now. We could go for a drink."

"Nah. I have to make dinner. Mei is probably waiting."- I frowned as an image of Mei and Momokino-san appeared.

"You good Yuzu-chan?"- Matsuri asked concerned.

"Yeah. Ok so see you later. Bye."- I said as I started to walk towards my bike. I have to talk to Mei. I looked at my phone. It's 8'o clock. I was surprised cause the time passed so fast. 

Time skip to the apartment 

Mei POV

I was sitting in the living room. It's almost 8:30. Yuzu still wasn't home. Is she angry? No why would she be angry? I should clear up the misunderstandings. My thoughts were interrupted by a door unlocking sound. A blond haired woman came in. It was Yuzu. I quickly took my romeo juliet book and pretended to read it.

"Hey Mei."

"I'm hungry."

Yuzu was silent for a moment. I guess I caught her off guard. Should I talk about what happened today? I sighed as I got up from the sofa. I walked towards her. yuzu stood there dumbfounded. As I got more close Yuzu's face got more red. Is she sick?

"Yuzu. Are you okay? You are so red."- I said in a concerned tone as I put my hand on the forehead. She freaked out and stepped back.

"Y-yeah. I'm fine. Don't worry...hehe"- She nervously laughed. Something was definately off. I checked her head to toe. I grasped as I saw her shirt a little ripped. I quickly grabbed her arm.

"Yuzu you're shirt is kinda ripped. Did you fight or something?"- I said. I was surprised. Did she fight?

"N-no. It was just a small accident. Don't worry about it. You must be hungry. I'll fresh up and make you food."- Yuzu said as she quickly got out off my grip and walked towards her room. Uh! I forgot to clear up the misunderstandings. Ok Mei don't worry. you still have chance. I took a few big breath as I took my Romeo Juliet book and sat on the dinning chair. After a while a fresh Yuzu with new cloths came and I swear to god she was looking dmmn hot in that loose top and shorts. Her mascular thighs were visible to me clearly. I blushed so hard that I had to cover my face with my book. She tied her hair in front of me and then her neck was visible. I wanted to bite so hard. Yes I liked her from highschool but she probably doesn't like me after what I did. I am such a coward. She started to cook and wow she was looking so professional. Ok ok now I have tell her.

"Yuzu?"

"Hmm Mei?"

"Where were you?"-I blurted out. Why am I scared?

"Oh. I was hanging out with a friend."

"I called Taniguchi-san. You weren't with her."

"Oh. I was hanging out with Rycho."

What!! She was hanging out with that guy. Why? Are they dating? There was a silence between us now.

"Why were you with him?......I don't like him."- I said as I looked away and guess what Yuzu chuckled.

"Mei, You are acting like a kid whose ice cream was stolen or something." Yes That ice cream is you Yuzu. I still was looking away pretending to look sad.

"Don't worry Mei. He is a nice guy and a very good friend."

"Still. you could just call me to hang out with you."- I almost whispered.

"What? I didn't hear that."

"I said I am just concerned thats all."

Why can't I just say? 

"Is he your boyfriend?"- I blurted out unconsciously. What the **** Mei? Yuzu looked at me with a confused look and chuckled.

"Nah. I like girls."

"What?!"

"Sorry. I didn't tell you before. If you're uncomfortable with it I can just make a distance between us."- Yuzu looked sad.

"NO!"- I shouted.

"I mean It's fine to like girls and I'm not uncomfortable at all."- Hearing me Yuzu gave her most brightest smile to me. I smiled back to her. So she also likes girl huh. Guess I have a plus point but I have to get rid of my asshole fiance.

"Mei. I know It's none of my business but umm..are you dating umm Momokino-san?"

Hearing her I stayed silent. Did she read my mind?

"No."

She was going to say something but stopped.

"She has a crush on me. She tried to make a move on me and that moment you happen to see us in that position but we aren't dating or something."

"Oh." Why do I think Yuzu looked happy. Guess it's just my imagination.

Time skip sleep

3rd POV

Yuzu changed into her pj and took her pillow as she went towards Mei's room.

knock knock.

"come in"- A faint voice was heard.

Yuzu went in and laid one side of the bed.

"You'll sleep here?"

"Umm..Yes? If your uncomfortable I'll lea-

"No It's fine. You can sleep as long as you want"- Mei gave her smile. 

Mei slid her way to the blanket. Both parties were nervous but they could feel eachothers warmth which calmed them down. They both felt happy and hoped to have a dream about each other. Then after a while they drifted of to sleep.
