Mayu wakes up to her alarm and moans as she sits up, turning it off and looks around the room. They got everything set up. What the missed, they got and Aki got the kitchen set up they she wanted. Mayu yawns and sighed. She looks around but couldn't see Aki.
"Aki." Mayu whispers as she got up.
Mayu walks out. She saw Aki sitting at the bench, eating. Aki smiles.
"Good morning Mayu." Aki greets.
Mayu smiles.
"Morning Aki." Mayu whispers, walking over.
Aki giggles. Mayu smiles, they managed to get Aki transferred to a new high school, it's just a ten minute walk from here. Her first day is Monday.
"Are you okay?" Aki asks.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Mayu replies.
Aki giggles.
"You know, I think I can get use to life here." Aki admits, then sighs.
"I better get dress, I promised I would work today." Mayu says walking off.
Mayu got dress and ready for work. Mayu then walks out to see Mei waiting.
"Came to make sure you are up." Mei says.
Mayu smiles as she walks over to Mei.
"Sorry." Mayu whispers.
"It's okay." Mei assures her. "Come on." Mei then says walking off.
Mayu follows.
"Ready for work?" Mei asks as they walk to the door.
Mei then puts her shoes on.
"I guess." Mayu replies, putting her shoes on.
"Good luck!" Aki shouts.
Mayu smiles.
"Thanks Aki." Mayu says walking out with Mei.
"How are you feeling today?" Mei asks.
"Alright, just a little nervous for tonight." Mayu admits softly.
"Let's just get through the day." Mei tells her.
Mayu nods. The day went past slow, once Mayu's shift was over she went for a shower and got dress. She then walks out to see Aki sitting on her bed. Mayu walks over and Aki looks up at Mayu.
"Where are you going?" Aki asks.
Mayu sighs.
"And don't lie to me." Aki tells her as she stands up.
"I'm going to the 17th Ward to meet up with Seiko to get any news on what is going on there. See if her grandfather is still after me." Mayu explains.
"Mayu." Aki whispers. "What if you don't come back?" Aki asks.
"If anything was to happen to me, everyone here will protect you." Mayu tells her.
Aki nods.
"I will do everything I can to come back to you, you know that." Mayu tells Aki.
"It's not fair!" Aki cries.
Mayu sighs.
"Aki." Mayu whispers.
"It's not fair." Aki whispers.
"I have to make sure you are safe." Mayu tells her.
Aki nods.
"I will do everything I can to come back to you, you know that." Mayu tells Aki.
"I know." Aki whispers.
Mayu looks at her worried. Aki then gives Mayu a hug.
"I love you." Aki whispers.
"I love you too." Mayu whispers back.
Aki lets her go.
"Be safe." Mayu tells Aki who nods.
"You too." Aki says.
Mayu walks out to see Mei waiting.
"How did she take it?" Mei asks.
"Not well." Mayu replies. "She will be fine. We better go." Mayu tells her.
Mei nods.
"Right, I called Ayumi Mochida. She is going to cover for me. She owes me a few favours." Mei explains as the pair walks to the door.
They put their shoes on.
"That's good." Mayu whispers.
"Come on." Mei says.
The pair heads downstairs to see Kobayashi, Nami, Ren, Mika, Ino and Yoshiki waiting.
"I don't like this plan." Yoshiki said.
"Shut it." Mei says.
"Just be careful you two." Kobayashi tells the pair.
"We will sir." Mei says.
"Remember to call me if anything goes wrong." Yoshiki tells Mayu as he walks up to her.
"I will." Mayu said. "Make sure Aki stays safe and if we aren't back by Monday, for whatever reason, make sure she goes to school." Mayu explains.
Yoshiki nods.
"I will, I promise." Yoshiki assures her.
"Yoshiki, stop flirting with my sister." Mei says.
Yoshiki looks at her shock.
"Shut it Mei!" Yoshiki shouts.
Mayu looks at her sister.
"Really?" Mayu whispers.
Mei giggles.
"Come on, we have a train to catch." Mei tells her.
"Here." Nami says, walking to Mei.
Nami hands over a envelope over.
"Just in case things goes wrong and you can't come back. This is enough to get you to the 12th Ward. There Naomi will be waiting for you two." Nami explains.
"I'm glad Shinohara is going to let us hide at her place to a while if things goes south." Mei says.
Mayu sighs.
"Don't worry about Aki, we will protect her." Kobayashi tells Mayu who looks at him.
"Thank you." Mayu whispers.
"Come on Mayu." Mei says.
Mayu nods. The pair heads off and Mayu sighs.
"We will be back." Mei tells her.
"I don't know." Mayu whispers "I'm scared." Mayu admits softly.
Mei sighs, grabbing Mayu's hand.
"It's okay, I'm here." Mei assures her.
Mayu smiles.
~XxXxXxXxX~
Aki was sitting on the lounge, staring at the window when she heard a knock on the door. She got up and walks over, then sighs as she opens the door to see Yoshiki.
"Fukui." Aki whispers.
"You can call me Yoshiki." Yoshiki assures Aki who nods. "Can't sleep?" Yoshiki asks.
Aki nods.
"I know." Aki whispers.
"I'll be next door in the meeting room so if you need me, come and get me." Yoshiki tells her.
"Do you like Mayu?" Aki asks.
"She's my friend." Yoshiki replies.
"That's not what I meant." Aki tells him.
Yoshiki chuckles.
"I know. Get some rest." Yoshiki tells her.
Aki smiles.
"Okay." Aki says.
Yoshiki walks off. Aki closes the door and looks at her phone.
'She will call if something happens.' Aki thinks to herself, then sighs.
