Chapter 1 : Prologue
The rain poured quite heavily on the busy street of Tokyo. People were going back and forth with their colorful umbrellas, splashing all the shallow puddles on the streets with their boots and heels while talking to each other, or just passing through in fast pace.
On the side of the busy street near an abadoned building, stood a tall boy with broad shoulders under a black umbrella. His spikey brown hair with red streaks stood proudly as he kept on raking it through and through with his hand, while his clear blue eyes kept glancing at his watch.
After waiting for about 5 minutes or so, he let out a silent sigh, as his hands started to fumble with his pocket, drawing out his phone. He punched in a few numbers before pressing the device to his right ear, waiting for it to connect.
"Hello?" The boy said in his deep voice when the person on the other side of the line picked up the phone. "Where are you, Mikan? I've been waiting for like an hour here."
"Akira? Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, I got stuck in a traffic. I'm riding a bus there and it seems like there is an accident up ahead," a high pitched voice answered back, "I was going to call you."
Akira sighed. It's really typical for his girlfriend to be late on their date. But her excuses are always reasonable, and he can't really blame it on her. "Why didn't you call me an hour ago then?"
"Because I got no signal. And actually, my signal has been lost since yesterday, not long after you said goodnight."
Akira let out another sigh and a short, unbelieving, chuckle. "I will wait for you then, sweety. Don't take too long."
"I won't!" Mikan said cheerfully. "I even bring you your favorite cookies Akira!"
Akira smiled fondly at that. He always loves Mikan's cooking. They have been dating for 3 years, and he often tastes her food. She cooks really well, but baking is what she does best. Her cookies are his favorite, and she never forgot to bring them to their weekly date.
"Thank you sweetheart. Hope you will be here soon." Akira said, ending the call by tapping the red sign on the phone.
A half and an hour later, Akira got tired of waiting as he squat and leaned on the building's wall. But not too long after that, his eyes caught a figure skipping towards him who was wearing a white sleveless blouse, a jeans skirt, and a pair of high boots. That figure was none other than his sweet, loving girlfriend.
He quickly stood up and smiled. His weariness vanished suddenly upon seeing the cheerful brunette.
"Akira!" She shouted. She glomped on him, letting her own umbrella fell on the wet street. "I'm sorry i'm late! Are you okay?"
Akira chuckled and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Hello to you too." He said, dropping a short kiss on her forehead. "Of course I'm okay, I'm a big boy already."
Mikan frowned, her lips was pursed in a cute way, doubting Akira's answer. "Are you sure you are okay? You have been waiting under the rain, and I'm sure you already here for like 2 hours."
Akira chuckled again and ruffled Mikan's hair. "I'm really okay, sweety. As long as you pay me back." He said, winking his eye.
Mikan beamed up at her boyfriend, her hazel eyes sparkling with happiness. "I'm glad you are okay then!" She stop for a moment, thinking. "But what will i pay you back with?" She asked, confusedly.
Akira grinned, seeing the innocent side of his girlfriend showed. "You will know later."
Mikan nodded and smiled again, brightly. "Okay! Where are we going now?"
Akira smiled. "Well, you should wait for it. It's going to be a surprise."
Mikan detached herself from Akira and picked up her umbrella. She pouted a bit. "Why won't you tell me?"
Akira winked at her. "Because it's purely a secret."
Mikan pouted further. "You know I never like secrets."
Akira chuckled. "Yes, I know, but it's worth it if you are surprised."
"Fine. Just show me the way." Mikan grumbled and started to walk.
Akira laughed, wrapping his hand around Mikan's waist while closing his own umbrella. "This way, honey."
"Akira, when can I open my blindfold?" Mikan whined while focusing on her steps so she won't trip, although she is sure that Akira won't let her fall.
"Patience, beautiful. I'm preparing this with love you know." Akira replied, guiding Mikan throughout the way.
Akira brought Mikan to a ballroom hotel which he has booked from three months ago, and put her right in the middle of it.
Slowly, he reached up and opened Mikan's blindfold, letting it fall to the ground.
Mikan gasp can be heard clearly, which make Akira's heart swelled, knowing that his surprise was a success.
"Akira." Mikan choked back her tears, while looking around the fully decorated room, with roses, ballons and candles.
"Can I have the honour of walking down the red carpet with you, my lady?" Akira said formally, offering his hand.
Mikan laughed, wiping the stray tears while eyeing the red carpet which started in front of her and ended right before a wooden table with two chairs on each of its side. "Is this your version of fullfilling my dreams?" She asked, walking in a steady pace with her boyfriend beside her.
Akira grinned. "Well, I couldn't give you a real experience walking down the red carpet in hollywood, so I make this version myself. Which one do you like better?"
Mikan beamed. "This one of course!"
Akira nodded, feeling happy. "I'm glad then, my lady."
Mikan touched her cheeks lightly, feeling them hot because of her happy feeling.
"Because I make you this happy, can I finally have a real kiss?" Akira wink naughtily towards his new fiancee.
Mikan stuck her tongue out. "Still a no. I want to have my first kiss on the altar, you can't take that previlage from me!"
Akira chuckled. "Alright, alright, whatever you say, princess."
"You are too sweet, Akira." Mikan commented, griping his hand tighter as they walked down the street.
Akira chuckled. "Anything to make you happy, Mikan."
Mikan shook her head. "To think that you give me a sweetest surprise like that while I just make you some food for our fourth anniversary."
"Hey, your gift is special. It's handmade, and I won't have it any better for our anniversary gift." Akira protested, frowning.
Mikan laughed. "Alright, alright. I'm glad that you like it then."
"Whatever you make, I'll always love it, sweetheart."
Mikan pushed Akira's shoulder lightly. "Stop being so mushy Akira!"
Akira grinned. "Well, It is my trait, I can't do anything about – "
"Akira Hideyoshi."
Akira stopped abruptly. He pulled Mikan right behind him in an instance, shielding her with his body.
Mikan's eyes widened and her mouth gaped slightly at the sight of 5 bulky men. Their clothes were all black, and Mikan could feel that their intentions are definitely not good.
"What are you doing here?" Akira asked coldly, eyeing the man who emerged from behind the five bulky men with an expresionless face.
Mikan unconsciously take a step back when she saw the new man.
He is not as bulky as the other five, but he is still muscular and lean. He has a dead aura that cause Mikan has goosebumps everywhere on her body. He wore a pair of black sunglasses over his eyes, but Mikan could see that he is attractive because of his strong jaw, high cheekbones, and defined nose.
"I'm here to take my payment." The handsome man announced, sticking both of his hands into his jeans pockets in a careless manner.
"I promised that I will pay you in three days." Akira hissed in anger.
The man lips flitted into a ghostly smirk, which sent chills down Mikan's spine.
"I don't wait for liars." He stated simply, flicking his fingers.
At the signal of their boss, the 5 bulky men start to advance towards Akira.
"Please stop!" Akira shouted in frustation. "Just tell me what do you want!"
"Hold." The man said briefly, making his minions stop on their tracks.
"Just let this girl go first, and let's talk business after that," said Akira, half hoping that the man would fullfil his request. Deep down, he feared for his girlfriend, and the man know it despite the effort Akira made to stay expressionless.
"No, don't worry. I won't touch her when we are dealing business with you." The man answered simply, signaling his men to continue their move.
"No! Please stop! Don't hurt Akira!" Mikan finally found her voice while she tried to stomp down her fear.
The man's smirk become more noticeable. "What will you do girl?" He drawled lazily.
"Mikan!" Akira half shouted in panic. "Just stay silent and don't provoke them any further. It's dangerous!"
"But, but they were going to do something bad to you!" Mikan protested back, her hazel eyes shone with worry.
"Come here, girl." The man demanded. Mikan could literally feel his piercing, icy stare behind those glasses.
Akira's grip on Mikan's wrist tighten as he move further to cover Mikan.
"Please, just let her go. She doesn't deserve this." Akira begged.
The man simply ignored Akira's plea. "Come here girl, or your boyfriend would taste my wrath."
Mikan's wide hazel eyes look up to her boyfriend's blue one. She bit her lower lip, showing her distress and fear.
"Please don't. Don't do this." Akira tried to plead once more to the unmoving man, trying to get him release his lovely girlfriend.
"I am not a patient person." The man replied shortly and crossed his hands in front of his chest.
Scared of what he could do to Akira, Mikan quickly step over to the man, trying to press down her bubbling fear.
The man only flash her a smirk before pulling her, and slam her to the nearby wall none too gently while he gestured to his men to finished Akira.
A strangled scream escape from Mikan, as she felt her vision become blurry for a few seconds because of the hard impact of her head to the bricks. Mikan didn't have time to react at all as the man swiftly pinned her hands over her head and hold down her legs with his knee.
"You would stay silent, girl, and not make a sound, or you will regret it." The man said in a deep and threatening voice, and Mikan could only nod stiffly at that.
The five bulky men didn't take much time to beat Akira up.
They gathered around him, throwing punches and kicks for a few minutes, before dispersing and leaving a bloody man lying on the street with a face flat on the asphalt.
"Akira!" Mikan screamed loudly when she saw the state he is in.
The man frowned at her. "I already told you didn't I? That you can't make any sound."
Mikan glared heatedly at the man in front of her. "Let me go!" She spat. "You murderer! I hope you will rot in hell!"
The man smirked and without warning, crash his lips on Mikan's, kissing her roughly.
Mikan tried to push him away, but it's futile since the man was far stronger than her.
After a few seconds, the man finally pulled away, his smirk still etched on his face. "It's nice knowing that you have tasty lips ,girl. I hope to see you again sometimes." He said, starting to walk away, signalling his men to follow him.
Mikan, in her fury, catch up to him in no time, pounding on him, trying to punch and scratch him with her long nails. The man shows no expression nor reaction to Mikan's attack, as he calmly pulled her away and pushed her until she was stumbling down, spraining her ankle in the process.
The man slowly approach her, squatting down to her level, while she was trying to hold back her cry since her ankle hurt so much.
"You better call the hospital before your boyfriend die, little girl, rather than attacking like that." He said in a husky voice. "Its nice to see a feisty girl like you." He added, pulling off his sunglasses and finally showing her his eyes.
After saying that and have a staring contest with her for like a minute, he waves her a goodbye and started to walk away again.
Mikan gritted her teeth and gulp down all of her curses, but she swears, she would get her revenge to that man, that crimson eyed man.
