Chapter 2: The Acelin Family

** The Shima’s House **

Mayumi gets home and is tired, breathing heavily and walks to her Uncle’s office where she and her Uncle usually discuss matters involving Asura, Mayumi parents, and other things.

Uncle: (turns around and sees Mayumi then smiles brightly and goes to hug her) “May\~\~\~ you're here!!\~\~” (Mayumi: “This is my Uncle; Fujii Shima he is the president of the Shima’s company he took over because of my parents disappearance my Uncle is pretty strict and serious when he needs to be but he treats me well like a loving father but he acts like a child too it’s cute but it ruins his image as the president of the Shima’s corporation lol but he is very caring and someone I trust he has always been there for me.”)

Mayumi: (dodges his hug and shows the message her Uncle sent her to him) “What’s this!?”

Uncle: (hurt by how she rejected his hug and a sweat on his cheek, laughs nervously, and puts both his hands up in front of his chest) “Haha..\~” (turns serious) “May I got news from that Asura again”

Mayumi: (sweat drops down her cheek) “Is there any more information?”

Uncle Shima: (nods) “Their headed to the Acelin family; the family that is well known and is the richest in the city and I warned them beforehand though by their reaction they seemed confident probably because of their two sons but you still need to go as Mei just in case something else happens and protect them alright?”

Mayumi: (smirks and punches fist together) “hm you don’t need to tell me twice.”

Mayumi looks at her Uncle with a look of reassurance that she can handle this and her Uncle puts a thumbs up and smirks.

It’s night now and Mayumi changed herself into Mei and went out through the window to go to the Acelin family’s household while she went there her Uncle was at home researching some more information on her parents.

** Acelin family’s household **

Mayumi came through the Acelin family’s window and took a rest and started to search around the place.

Mei: (sneaks and looks around starts to talk to herself) “I guess Uncle was right, the Acelin family seems to be even more richer than the others I’ve come across.”

Mayumi heard a noise and hid and looked carefully of what’s happening. Then she saw the wife being threatened and crying seeing her husband of the Acelin family being tortured.

Mei: (full of anger puts her hand into a fist with an angry symbol on her forehead) “I thought Uncle said they were confident...doesn’t seem like it. He's bleeding to death, does Asura still need to kill and seek blood that much..?”

Mayumi bites her lip and thinks of a plan but the plan she had thought of...was not clever at all, she instead kicked the door wide open and started a fight without thinking of the consequences.

Asura’s minion 1: (turns around) “who the hell are you!? Everyone kill her, she saw our faces!”

Asura’s minions: (looks Mei up and down..)

Asura’s m1: (looks back at Mei again wondering why they aren’t attacking) “...”

Mei: (smirks and jumps over him and punches him) “hm bit of advice you shouldn’t get distracted easily by a woman.”

Asura’s m2: (annoyed and blush of embarrassment) “tsk don’t be deceived, kill her!!”

Mei: (throws more punches and kicks at them) “All nothing but more scum. Tell your boss of Asura to stop using dirty tricks and show themselves” (wipes away the dirt on her hands from fighting)

Asura m1: (slight blush glaring at Mei) “Tsk let‘s go and report to him”

Mei: (surprised and talks to her head) “hm so Asura is a guy.. when I get back I’ll tell Uncle”

The minions of Asura ran away and Mei turned around seeing the Acelin wife and husband crying, full of bruises, and shaking. They both look at her and are mesmerized by how she looks by the full moon shining down towards her.

Mr. Acelin: (hurt covered in blood and bruises) “P-please don’t hurt us..ugh”

(tries to get up)

Mei: (looks down at Mr. Acelin and helps him up) “I’ll say your already been hurt enough; here grab my hand and wait here so I can help your wife”

Mei: (unties the rope from Mrs. Acelin and bends down on one knee wiping her tears away) “Mrs. Acelin you don’t need to be Afraid anymore they’re all gone..” (faint smile)

Mei sent them to their big luxurious living room first and was about to head out through the window but instead…

Mrs. Acelin: (looks at her husband and then blushes at Mei about to leave) “Wait! Miss!”

Mei: (about to leave but turns around) “What's wrong? The police and ambulance will be here soon. I need to go.”

Mr. Acelin: (looks at Mei) “The police are no help for this crisis and we called our personal doctor, he will be here soon” (smiles)

Mei: (looks at them with concern and then makes a blunt look right after and starts to head out again) “Alright then. See ya”

Mr. and Mrs. Acelin: (grabs her quickly for her not to leave) “Wait, don't go just yet please..!” (Mayumi: “Ok these people are Mrs. and Mr. Acelin? they seem not so strong in my opinion even though their the richest corporation out here Mr. Acelin seems gentle and kind and doesn't like violence. Much to my surprise with what Uncle said that they seemed so confident? Guess not. Anyway Mr. Acelin doesn’t like violence and seems to be a kind hearted person and Mrs. Acelin.. seems to be the same but only more gentle she seems to have a kind of motherly aura but they would be my ideal parents that I never had I guess their stupid *** sons wasn’t here to protect their parents.”)

Mei: “...”

Mei stays for a while and talks with the head of the Acelin family. She has a sweat drop down her cheek scared her identity might be discovered any moment.

Mr. Acelin: (brings out a case full of cash) “I’ll like to offer you a reward of 20 million dollars for saving me and my wife’s lives tonight” (smiles)

Mrs. Acelin: (smiles gently) “Please accept it\~”

Mei: (looks down at the money then looks up at them) “I’m sorry but I will not accept this reward I am willing to save and protect anyone’s lives a reward from anyone is unnecessary for me.”

Mr. Acelin: “Please accept it, no one would ever reject this amount of money given to them, we'll double it if you want more.”

Mrs. Acelin: “We owe you so much for saving our lives and if you didn’t save our lives our 2 sons...we wouldn’t be able to see how much they have grown in the business world..”

Mei: (glares slightly) “Then I guess I’m the first one to reject your offer.” (Mayumi: “where are their sons when their parents need them.”)

Mr. and Mrs. Acelin blushed with embarrassment at the loss of words.

Right when Mei was going to flee through the window someone came into the room and it was the 2 sons of the Acelin family Mei turned around with disgust. Mr. and Mrs. Acelin turns to look who it is.

Mr. Acelin: (struggling to get up) “S-sons..ouch...” (tries to smile)

Mei: (worried a bit) “You know you shouldn’t move around like that..-

Mei gets cut off my the 1st son of the Acelin family.

Lucas Acelin: (looks up at his mother and father and runs to them quickly.)

Eugene Acelin: (looks at Mei and accuses Mei) “who the hell-”

Mei: “..” (talks in her head) (Mayumi: “at least they care for their parents but they came so late when their parents are in danger.”)

The 2 sons of the Acelin family are full of anger and their parents didn’t know what to do and they looked at Mei just crossing her arms knowing she did nothing wrong.

Mrs. Acelin: (sighs) “Listen. My 2 precious sons, me and your father could have died tonight..”

Eugene: (glares and looks away crossing his arms behind his head) “Pft. Yeah no joke”

Mrs. Acelin: (sighs) “Eugene and Lucas calm down and sit; please you too young girl”

Mei: (sighs and sits down while talking to herself) (Mayumi: “Why am I still here..?”) (Rolls eyes) “Fine.”

...Everyone sat down for this situation including Mei.

Eugene: (glares at Mei)

Lucas: (glances at Mei)

They all told the 2 boys of the situation and now Eugene is flustered by how he falsely accused a girl that saved his parents. While that is happening to Eugene, Lucas then makes fun of Eugene. Now that they both know she did not hurt their parents but saved them instead they both apologized and changed their opinion on Mei.

Mr. and Mrs. Acelin looks at the boys and starts to chuckle then looks at Mei.

Mr. Acelin: (clears throat, still being hurt) “Uhm..I have heard about you..before.”

Everyone is waiting for an answer from Mei and then gets up and goes to the window to leave while everyone is looking at her and she turns her head towards the Acelin family.

Mei: (smirks while crossing her arms) “And what have you heard about me hm?\~”

Mrs. Acelin: (thinks and then gasps) “ARE you..!?”

Lucas: (confused) “Mother; what is it?”

Both Mr. and Mrs. Acelin both looked at each other then at Mei and Mei looked back.

Eugene: “You gonna tell us..or..?” (also confused)

Mr. Acelin: (looks at his wife)

Mrs. Acelin nods at him telling him to say it.

Mr. Acelin: (tries to point but is hurt badly) “ you are..-”

Mei cuts him off knowing what he’s about to say

Mei: (looks down while sighing) “Mei.” (turns away leaving.)

Mrs. and Mr. Acelin want to know more about Mei and who she is and both the sons are also curious as well and now the Acelin family is doing everything they can to figure out who the mysterious beauty named Mei is which will cause Mayumi even more trouble.
