ALSO, the format (how Misaki's talking) might be a little confusing. But I'm not going to explain it to you. I'm going to hope through my writing you'll understand what's happening. If you don't- PM me.
Nice to meet you, Winchesters...
Yes, I'm 20 years old.
Yes I do. I'm here because the police suspects I killed Furiyhiko Usami a year ago.
No, I was set up. Mr. Winchester-san.
I know you don't believe me, no one does. But I'm telling you I did not kill him.
Because I was shot in the fucking throat, that's why I can't talk.
...No, I'm not serious. It was a surgery operation that went wrong.
I don't seem like a killer? How do killers seem? Usually they deny they ever did it...I'm not exactly helping my case am I?
I've never killed anyone in my life. I've never even had malicious intent to harm someone...well...Keichi doesn't count.
I was his keeper.
-_- yes I slept with people for money.
Well I stopped because of my brother, he got real sick and I…he made me promise to never sleep with anyone for money again.
Ahaha, yes. And stripping was off limits too.
Of course I stripped! I needed the money…
Oh I'm sorry…here's the story I guess…I hope you believe me by the end of this story…detective.
My brothers keeper
I was born on Christmas like my twin…but I guess that's not really important now is it?
Let's see… I had two brothers, one was on the verge of death because of his leukemia and my other brother, my twin, is crippled because of the car accident my parents got into when I was 8. Oh don't worry everyone lived, but my parents refused to take care of Hiroki since he was handicapped. I told them to shove off then I ran away with both my brothers. I would've stayed but it was quite obvious that they didn't want us.
Well because they hit us, mostly Takahiro because back then before he was sick he'd take care of us. It wasn't really beatings for Takahiro because he was their favorite child; it was something to hurt my twin and I with. Of course Takahiro wasn't home all the time, he did have friends you know? So when Takahiro wasn't home they would try to torture Hiroki, insults and hits. I can't tell you the number of times they tried to brand my Hiroki. I never let them…they never really did like that. I guess that's why I have so many bruises and cigarette burns. I just loved my brother too much to let him go through that.
At first, I didn't go to school because the orphanage I lived at can't afford everyone's education and because with my job you didn't need school. But I made a promise with my friend Paulie I'd go back, so I got Hiroki and Usagi to tutor me and they did. I got my G.E.D and I went to T University for economics. I was doing well for myself after the death of my brother. I stopped doing drugs…and I got Yoh and Aikawa to stop doing illegal stuff too.
Anyway, I worked as an escort back then although my main job was stripping. That's where I made most my money.
I know, I know, It's not the club's fault though…Pauli thought I was 21 and…and I needed the money. I needed it bad. You know, if it wasn't for the cash I sent every week (secretly of course) then the orphanage would've been shut down and we would've have had to live somewhere else. I was tired of moving around. Plus, the orphanage was better than Miyagi's house. Miyagi would come home at 3 in the morning high out of his mind. It was tough trying to explain his behavior to my brothers…trying to make excuses for my friend. But they believed me. They always did.
Back then…why I did all the things I did…understand that it was all for Takahiro. I couldn't leave, not without my brothers. They relied on me and even though I'm the youngest I have to protect both of them. No matter the cost. We wouldn't survive on our own. Not until I had gotten enough money saved up.
Please stop looking at me like that, you're scaring me.
I guess not. I've seen scarier stuff.
Hm? Oh the money? I planned to use the money to put both my brothers in college. Especially Hiroki. He was always reading books. He's smart unlike me…he could've amounted to something…well actually he's an intern at the college I went to. He's teaching literature.
Oh, I already had 5 grand saved up already.
I didn't leave, Mr. Winchester, because I was being selfish. I wanted to stay there with my family…my boyfriend. I should've just never went there, I know. I'm sorry.
I am.
Anyway, I was sitting on the ugly orange couch that the nun Lenalee had bought. It was 5 minuets until my 'job' started and I was extremely starving because hadn't eaten in the past 3 days due to the fact that Hiroki was a glutton (we didn't have enough food so I gave him mine) and Takahiro refused to eat anything on his plate (because he hated mashed potatoes) so I had to force my food (TV dinner) down his throat. I couldn't eat his mashed potatoes because I was allergic…but he didn't know that. No one did.
Potatoes were cheap so that's why we kept buying them…in case you were wondering…okay, sorry. Back to the story.
SO I was left waiting for my friend Aikawa to pick me up and take me to where my client was. I just hoped I didn't have to go to another party.
"Misaki! Takahiro won't take his medicine again!" Akihiko screamed from upstairs.
Akihiko Usami was a year older than me and his brother, Haruhiko Usami, was 2 years older than me. Akihiko, or as I call him Usagi, was in love with my brother Takahiro until he suddenly confessed his love to me. Happily I agreed to date him (he even knows that I'm involved in some illegal business) but his brother confessed to me a day after Akihiko did. I'm pretty sure both brothers are fighting for me, which is silly because I think brothers shouldn't fight. Not for anything in the whole wide world. Akihiko and me had been dating for at least 2 years. We started dating when I was 14…I think I was just turning 16 at that time.
With a sigh I walked up the stairs and almost cried right there when I saw my brother. He looked pale and he had dark rings under his eyes. He coughed twice and then smiled brightly. I took a deep breath and looked around the room. Everyone was there, Hiroki and his boyfriend Nowaki. Haruhiko and Akihiko were also there. I think they knew how hard this was for me so every time I visited Takahiro one of them came with me.
"Misaki!" Takahiro said making sounds like a toddler was. I swear he acted like he was 5 sometimes.
I sighed. "Takahiro…why are you giving Usagi a hard time about taking your medicine?"
Takahiro made a face. "Because needles are yucky!"
"It'll help you get better Taka." I motioned Akihiko to give me the needle. "You want to get better right?"
Takahiro pouted. "No way! Not if I have to take that nasty thing!"
I rubbed my head in anger. The doorbell rang and loud banging could be heard from downstairs. Lenalee opened the door and the person burst in screaming, 'OI! HURRY UP! BOSS IS MAD AS ALL HOLY HELL!"
I shivered. Miyagi Yoh.
He should come up in you're files. He's a very powerful man.
He has no boss…at least, not now anyway.
No, he would never set me up. I trust Yoh with my life.
You wouldn't. Even if you tried to put any of the people I mention today in jail it wouldn't hold up in court.
Well that's an easy question. It wouldn't hold up in court because who believes me?
Exactly.
Now, he was 5 years older than me and he was terrifying. Especially when he was upset…and apparently he was upset at me for some reason. I screamed at Aikawa to get out and that I'll be there in a minuet. That girl never did listen to anyone. She was like the devil, she really was.
"Look Taka, your 17. Can you please act your own age and take the needle willingly."
Takahiro looked guilty for a minuet. However he quickly recuperated and shook his head.
"I swear! I'm 15 and I act like the adult sometimes. Just take the damn medicine Takahiro…I need to be somewhere right now."
It was obvious I was scared out of my mind right now. Everyone noticed it. Nowaki sighed and put his hand on Takahiro's shoulder.
"Misaki has to go now. Takahiro you don't want to burden your younger brother do you?"
Hiroki sweat dropped. Damn Nowaki was manipulative.
"No…but I don't want to take the medicine! It hurts." Takahiro wailed. I sighed. Oh to hell with this.
"Remember that time you took me and Hiroki on your bike and we saw the ocean. Right before mama and papa died? Before you got sick?" I asked him. He nodded eagerly. Without him noticing I felt for a vein and slipped the needle into his skin.
"I packed some lunches for us because Oki forgot and we saw the sun rise, right there on the beach. We promised we'd always be brothers forever? That no matter what happens we'll all love each other forever?"
"Yes…" Takahiro's eyes closed, due to him not going to sleep on time and staying up with Akihiko telling stories.
"And then an ant crawled on Hiroki and he screamed his head off," Hiroki blushed and scoffed while muttering no I didn't, "You said, 'be brave man! Big brother will protect you! Well now I'll protect you Takahiro. I'll be big brother okay? So go to sleep and when I come back all of us will watch a movie."
"Mkay…I love you Misa." Takahiro muttered. I took the needle out of his vein and kissed his forehead lightly.
"I love you too Taka. Sweet dreams." I smiled when I heard the deep breathes that Takahiro was emitting. It showed he was alive.
I turned to Akihiko angrily. "Next time you big idiot, don't read him stories in the middle of the night."
Akihiko muttered sorry and I turned around but a wave of dizziness hit me and I fell into the side of the wall.
"Misaki! You okay?" Hiroki asked. Hiroki noticed the bones sticking from my shirt.
Because he gasped, rolled over to me, and poked my shirt.
Obviously, that's how I realized he saw my bones through my shirt.
The spot he poked happened to be a bruise where my last client had decided to squeeze and I flinched.
"Let me see your chest Misaki." Hiroki said hardly.
"No." I said. I turned around and kissed him on the forehead too although his expression was nowhere as cute as Takahiro's it was till cute. "I'll see you later."
"Wait! Misaki let me see you're chest." Hiroki shouted a little louder this time. Now my boyfriend and his boyfriend were looking at me curiously.
"Shut up Hiroki. Oh, Usagi there's food in the fridge for you just ask Lady Lena to warm it up for you. I had to make it since the cook quit, there's 5 dollars for all of you under your pillow to last you the next 2 days in lunch money."
"Misakiii," Hiroki wined, "Show me your chest now!"
I ignored him. "There's lunch for the rest of you guys in the fridge too but that's separate from Akihiko and Haruhiko's because they're allergic to jelly. Um…oh Takahiro's medicine is on the table give it to him at 5," I looked at my watch, "I should be back by then since that's only 2 hours from now but I'm not sure. Stay out of trouble okay? Especially you Usagi…"
I turned to leave but stopped remembering that I didn't tell Usagi about the new rule Lady Lena had come up with.
"Oh and Usagi, Lenalee said from now on there's no smoking the bathroom. Um, I think that's it…oh no. Nowaki! You needed how much for that trip?"
"Huh? Oh it's okay I have a job Misaki. It's only two hundred dollars and I have one hundred but the teacher said I could pay late if I had too. It's fine really." Nowaki purposely didn't mention that he had to pay one hundred dollars for a medical textbook he needed. I gushed. My Nowaki was so smart! He was the youngest in his class and he was the top of the class. He went to a specialized school for training doctors, the cost was around 2,000 dollars but with some overtime (and lots of bruises later) I managed to cover it. It would've been 5,000 dollars but Nowaki's so smart that he got a scholarship.
I dug in my pocket and (almost) pulled out a condom. Thank god I knew what it felt like and I quickly let go of it. I pulled out a wad of cash and counted out two hundred dollars. It was all my money. Sigh, I was going to get myself some food…like food at a restaurant. But that was hardly as important as Nowaki's education. My stomach rumbled lightly, I thought it was telling me 'No Misaki! Feed me!'
"Mhm, you use that hundred for that text book okay?" I said. When Nowaki refused to take it I crossed over Hiroki and stuffed it into his back pocket.
"Okay that's it. I have my cell if you need me, you know the emergency number-"
"We go through this every time you leave Misaki. We know how to dial 911." Haruhiko rolled his eyes. The last time I forgot to tell them that 911 was the emergency number the orphanage almost burnt down (Akihiko tried to cook).
"I hope so Haru. I really do…okay well I got to go!" I kissed Akihiko gently on the lips. He grabbed me and bit my ear.
"I haven't had Misaki in a long time…."
I blushed and pushed Akihiko away. "IDIOT PEVERTED USAGI!"
I ran down the stairs, opening the doors I flung myself outside and basically threw myself into the white punch buggie.
"Mmm, that was long Takashi." Miyagi purred from the front seat. My back straightened with fear.
"I had to give my brother his medicine…sorry." I added a 'sir' at the end in hopes that Miyagi wouldn't punish me.
Oh no, Miyagi was afraid of me…he wouldn't hurt me ever. Plus, he was my best friend.
I meant he'd punish me with tickling…stop laughing…it isn't funny.
"Geez, Misaki. You act like I force you to be my concubine." I deadpanned.
"You bruise my body everyday! Do you know the amount of coating I have to put on to cover it! Terrifying…you're absolutely terrifying."
"Aw! You love me though." He gave me a kissy face and I rolled my eyes.
The reason I was so terrified of my boss was because he came on to me almost every second. I could take the old perverted weird guys having their way with my body but I can't take them creepily smiling at me (Miyagi) from across the room.
Sigh...yes he was dating...no he is dating Shinobu.
Look dude, let me tell the story.
"Okay…so who's this client now? I head he's paying the big bucks for Aikawa but she refused because he's a weirdo that looks like her father" Miyagi laughed.
"Aikawa what have you been telling this child?" Miyagi laughed some more.
She mumbled something but didn't dare repeat what she said when Miyagi further questioned her about it. It was kind of a given that if you disrespected Miyagi you might as well kiss your paycheck and your life goodbye. I was the exception. I was always the exception.
Miyagi and I are very close friends; he was the one that gave my brothers' shelter and me for a few months. Just until we could get on our feet again, or at least go to some kind of orphanage. At least at the orphanage they're liable for medical assistance. I smiled to myself.
"He does look like my pops! Sheesh, you don't gotta be such a hard ass Yoh." Miyagi stiffened and Aikawa recoiled in fear. Oh boy, not again.
"SO! About this client…"
Miyagi snapped out of his evil thoughts and Aikawa gave a sigh of relief. "Well, Mr. Takahashi said he wanted the best of the best to act like his son being that his real sons are illegitimate and rebellious. He disowned them you know?"
I simply nodded.
"It's a damn drag that he didn't want the GREAT AWESOME AIKAWA! Seriously though he said the best, don't know why you didn't pick me."
I sweat dropped. "Um maybe because he needed a guy to play the son?"
"Exactly and plus…he asked for the BEST. You're the devil in the flesh Aikawa. Anyway Misaki! He wants you to act like the proper gentlemen…and then relieve his stress afterword…"
"That was not cool Yoh." Aikawa teased Miyagi. For a girl that was terrified of Miyagi she sure did like to push his buttons.
"How many times do I have to tell you, don't call me Yoh! Miyagi screamed.
"As long as Misaki's my friend you won't do anything to me…Yoh" She laughed manically. I felt kind of offended you know.
"I really want to fucking scrape your skin off your body…actually stop the car so I-"
"YOH!" He looked at me annoyed, "Leave her alone."
With a huff he turned around and pouted
The car ride was awkward with a silent silence. I don't even think anyone breathed even…that's how tense the air was.
"You know, I'm lucky I'm the best in the assassin job because I'm pretty sure Yoh would've re-hired me by now."
No. He would've murdered you. I giggled at my thought.
"Nope. I'm pretty sure Misaki is the better assassin."
Aikawa wined, "But he doesn't even kill anyone!"
"Did you shoot a gun? I feared for my life for a moment." Miyagi shuddered.
…I'm good with a gun because my father used to force me to hold one. He'd make me shoot animals in the back yard…he'd hit me if I didn't hit it on the first shot.
Obviously I practiced hitting targets and sooner or later every shot I'd ever fired was on point.
I chuckled a little. Even though I was burning with hunger and exhaustion I still kept going at my jobs. I had too, all for my family. At least they wouldn't have to do any of this to survive…at least Takahiro wouldn't.
Aikawa groaned. "I'm still young! I should have the libido of a 16 year old too! Curse old age. Listen kid," She turned to me, "Your all energetic now, and that's okay I mean after all your only 21 but once you hit 30 you wont be feeling like you did 5 years ago. You feel me?"
"Um I'm sorry that no you told you." I looked at her with a sincere expression. Apparently Miyagi didn't know my true age because he looked at me with a confused expression too. It was funny really. It was.
"What?" Aikawa was interested now. She didn't take her eyes of the road (because she couldn't) but she defiantly wanted too.
"Um I'm not a 21 year old guy you know?" I thought you knew." I apologized profusely. Maybe now both of the adults would stop my work. I wouldn't allow that…I couldn't afford to.
"Eh? Well then your younger! Ahh I wish I was your age. On the verge of adult hood. 18 is a good number Misaki. Very good indeed." She smiled contently to herself.
"That's still a little-"
"No." Miyagi looked at me. I could tell he was peeved that I rudely cut him off. "I'm 15."
Aikawa stepped on the brakes and I collided with the front seat.
"WHAT?" They simultaneously shouted. Miyagi and Aikawa stared at me not caring that we were going to be late or that there were cars honking behind us.
"I thought you knew. That's why I never drink at parties…well that and when I usually get drunk I turn into a completely different person."
"Whoa…fifteen. Jesus kid." Miyagi rumpled his hair. "Why would you even want to live like this? Go back to your parents or something."
"Eh? You don't know?"
"Know-" Miyagi's phone began playing a song.
I want you take over control
Take over control
T-T-Take over control
I want you to take over control
Take over control
Plug it in and turn me on
Aikawa and me laughed while Miyagi mumbled, 'idiots'. He picked up the phone in a cheery expression.
"Shinobu! Hey, how's it going?"
Instantly I stopped laughing. Aikawa noticed and patted my leg (or at least tried to) "I know, Yoh's being all lovey-dovey with his new 20 year-old painter."
I sighed in relief. It was a different Shinobu.
"Hm? No just about to go to a party. You're coming back today right?"
I sighed and closed my eyes.
"Oh, okay." Miyagi sounded hurt, he instantly cheered up though, "Really? Should I go to the air port now?"
What if…What if it was my Shinobu, the one who'd I raised ever since I came to the orphanage, which was about 3 years ago. I was just over thinking thins, I thought to myself.
Shinobu? Why, he's not involved with this.
He is dating Yoh but I don't-
Shinobu _, age 22. He's been with his lover Miyagi Yoh for about 6 years.
He isn't.
Because if my Shinobu was involved with the drug smuggling that Miyagi quit from I would hurt him very badly.
Oh yes, back to the story.
"Okay I won't. All right, See you soon…okay bye…I love you too Shino. Bye."
Miyagi hung up the phone.
"Hey Yoh, Does Shinobu have blue hair and a scar near his right eye?" Just to confirm my unease, which was the only reason I asked.
"Eh? How do you know Shinobu? I haven't seen him since he told me he had his art collection being sold in London, anyway what does-"
"God dammit! That son of a bitch!" I kicked the back of the seat.
Yes, I did curse. I also did coke, drank patron, and fucked guys for a living so I'm sorry if a little cursing offended you.
…I'm sorry Mr. Winchester-san.
Okay then…I'm sorry Mr. Sam for insulting you're beliefs somehow…but there will be a lot of cursing.
Oh…lol, funny joke ^.^ Seriously though, can you please stop interrupting my train of thought…thank you…
"What the hell kid?" Aikawa said pissed that I was 'destroying' her precious baby car.
"How old do you think Shinobu is?"
"Um duh 20, I'm not a pedophile you know."" I clenched my fists in anger.
"He's 16 Miyagi. You've been fucking my 16 year old son you bastard." I bit my lip to stop myself from screaming. I was very, very protective over the kids at the orphanage. I still am. Most of them are adults now…but they still view me as their parent because I loved for them and cared for them. It's still a little embarrassing to call someone older than you your son.
"WHAT?" Miyagi screamed. Then he turned to Aikawa and screamed, "DRIVE BEFORE WE'RE LATE!"
She stepped on the gas and I went lurching forward again.
"We will deal with this issue when I get home. And as for my parents, they're both dead. What you have been picking me up for the past year is an orphanage."
No my parent's were very much alive.
I was trying to explain that Mr. Sam.
No it's okay. I understand you want answers now…I understand you're trying to help me. It's okay.
It was silent. I was still of course furious with Miyagi AND Shinobu. Not only was I furious I felt betrayed, how could my little Shino lie to me and tell me that he had met no one special. That he was still single.
"I'm sorry…but I'm not giving him up."
I grated my teeth. "Like hell you are."
It was quite obvious that I didn't want to talk about it but of course, as usual, Miyagi decided to push my buttons.
"I love him." Miyagi blushed at the statement like blushing was supposed to make it feel better.
"Miyagi, I swear if you don't shut up right this second."
Aikawa looked at me surprised but turned around when I pointed at the road. Miyagi looked at me with an evil glare also. I suppose he thought I overstepped my boundaries…but I don't care. The boys at the orphanage were my life.
"Listen kid-" He was cut off by my punch. I mean, I didn't punch him but it came quiet close.
Well, I think it came close.
"Listen Yoh, those kids are my responsibility do you understand? So if one of them gets hurt I'm going to be a very pissed person. Get it?"
"Huh?" I swear my boss is an idiot sometimes.
"If you hurt Shinobu I will end you. I will not stop until your crying on the sidewalk wishing for your death. Do. You. Understand?" I glared heatedly at him while he gapes his mouth like a fish.
"Y-Yea…" I leaned back and smiled while Aikawa whispered 'whipped'. I laughed when Miyagi pulled his gun on her; we both knew he wasn't going to shoot which made it funnier.
Yea…we had a type of dry humor when it was just the three of us.
Hm? Oh they're my friends. Aikawa and Yoh are wonderful people…if it's possible…please don't hurt them. For everything they've done…and they've done a lot, please don't get them in trouble.
Thank you, Mr. Winchester.
Er...okay Sam...and you? Mr...
Okay. Hi Dean..Oh I'm sorry I totally forgot. My name is Misaki Takahashi.
Oh please, just call me Misaki.
Yea…I will…it's just…well, can you tell me how Akihiko is doing?
Still?
Can you just make sure he doesn't…you know…
Thank you.
