Maiden for Hire: Yakumo's Back!

Chapter 1

Remember Yakumo, the Maiden for Hire that resembles Yakumo Tsukamoto? She was responsible for curing her double of her anger and jealously towards her. At the time, the real Yakumo was injured, with the most bizarre leg injury. For two months, Yakumo Maiden stayed with the Tsukamoto Sisters, until her time is no longer needed. Tenma and Yakumo Tsukamoto were her first customers, when she was created AND when the company opened its branch, some time ago… and since then, her Pleasure Mode was never used for them and the other three users. Who were those other three?

First, there was a nice elderly couple that wanted to help tend their home. They were nice enough to have her, but she was too fast for them at cleaning. THAT, frankly, lasted one month, realizing that technology wasn't in them. But it was good for the 2,000 Yen it served, to have a home fit for a lovely couple.

The third owner was a young girl that wanted her as a nanny. Too bad Maidens are MORE than just tending to kids. But Yakumo Maiden treated the girl like she was a very nice child of her own. It lasted one month, thanks to her quick and easy parenting. She's no Mary Poppins… She was immediately released and returned to the factory, until she was needed again.

And THAT leads to Owner #4: two young college frat boys, who were warned about keeping their dorms messy. She cleaned endlessly, leaving their dorm room dirt-free, all for two weeks. Let's just say that the R.A. doesn't like the electric bill that came from Yakumo Robot's recharging. So they fired her and she returned to company. And let's just say that she was heartbroken… and they were refunded their money for her rental fee.

Now on to Owner #5 that was nothing more than a four-eyed boy and class rep of Yagami High. I think you know who it is; and for the most, he used to own a Maiden for Hire.

Which brings us to our story…

A boy with glasses appeared, asking the Tomo Model for another look around.

"Glad to help, Mister Haruki Hanai," she said, "We have the finest Maidens in the world."

"Great! And I look forward to getting one soon!" He cried, "Only this Maiden I am looking for must stay home, at all times."

"Oh, so I've heard… it must've been tough to lose Model #M-780," Tomo said in sadness.

Hanai replied, "Oh, don't worry. After much thought, I've decided to give your wonderful Maiden service a second chance. I, Haruki Hanai, must find the perfect Maiden for me! And this time, she stays grounded!"

Tomo murmured, "Right this way…"

Hanai had been through Maiden for Hire problems before. Recently, he owned Miko, who was his custom Maiden for Hire. Sadly, she met an untimely end. Since then, Hanai was grief-stricken, but he went back to normal in no time. However, realizing that Harima owned a Maiden, namely the Eri Robot, who went on to be his steady, he decided to give it another go.

As they went into a huge room, where the Maidens are manufactured, Hanai was lost in thought. They are all displayed deactivated, in a seated position, with their eyes closed. He blushed, knowing that he'll find the perfect one.

"Wow… look at all of these Maidens," he said, "I'm telling you that no one can advise to perfection!"

"Is there anybody you'd wish to purchase, let me know," Tomo smiled, "OH! And if none can fit to perfection, I'll be happy to create you yet another Custom Maiden."

Hanai was amped! He looked around the huge room to find his dream Maiden: A Maiden for Hire that looked like Yakumo. (Figures…)

After looking around, Hanai gasped for air and was in disparagement. He then cried, "NO WAY! I'LL NEVER FIND MY DREAM MAIDEN!"

Tomo patted his back and sighed, "Nothing… What again?"

Hanai whimpered, "Well… there's always customization. I would like a custom Maiden… Again…"

Tomo then asked, "And what will I build her to look like this time?"

Hanai cried, "As long as it looks like Yakumo, I promise to treat her right."

Tomo halted and asked, "Yakumo?"

"Yes… how do you know?"

"It's a funny thing… We have a Maiden that is named Yakumo."

"Do you have one like her?"

"I think we still carry her. Please wait, sir."

She began to beep and search for the Maidens' Database.

"Processing… Processing… DING! Maiden found: 1 search found!"

Tomo then spoke, "We have one that has finished its service recently. Shall I take you there?"

Hanai pleaded, "YES! Thank you! Show me!"

Tomo dragged Hanai off to where the Maiden is located. Sure enough, he saw her…

"Well, here she is," Tomo smiled, "Model #Y15860: Yakumo model; a classy model, but a cute one to boot. Her name is Yakumo, and she makes her fifth service this year."

The Maiden was a cute one. She was wearing a rose pink maid outfit with orange frills, with some small tears in her skirt hem. The Maiden had black hair and a cute face. In fact, she looked exactly like Yakumo, Hanai's crush. He was flushed in a red look and was surprised.

"It's her… the dream Maiden I've always wanted," he thought, with tears in his eyes, awing at his Maiden, "Finally, I found you. The one Maiden for Hire that resembles Miss Yakumo Tsukamoto, my one true love; and it shall be mine! I may wait a couple of weeks, but it'll be worth it. At last, I, Haruki Hanai, in the presence of the most beautiful Maiden, slightly used, in world; she is unbelievably beautiful! I don't care if it's 2,000 Yen a month or if she's a spitting image of Yakumo or a used-up Maiden for Hire! She… is… MY DREAM GIRL!"

"I'LL TAKE HER!" He bellowed, which echoed the entire room.

The Tomo Maiden was stunned in disgust, "Uh… yeah…"

In another room, the two techies, Gus and Hank, felt a disturbance in the air.

Gus asked, "Did you feel that? It's like someone is buying a used Maiden…"

Hank scoffed, "Oh, let them take it. She'll break down, eventually."

Two weeks later, at Hanai's dojo, he carried the huge package in and opened it up. As he opened the box, he was merely in a thought.

"I know Pleasure Mode is filth, but it wouldn't be right," he said, "But still…"

He pulled the Maiden out of the box and stood her in attention. He plugged her in and pressed her red button. He knows about turning on a Maiden. It was easy.

"I wonder… why was she used for those four times? Did some lucky pervert have their way at her?" He cried, "Unforgivable! When she wakes up, I'm erasing that filthy program!"

But as he was about to continue to bark out, Yakumo's LED blue eyes opened. She looked at Hanai and was blushing.

"Excuse me," she said in a polite and cheerful tone, which sounded like the real Yakumo, "But I am honored to make your acquaintance, Mister Haruki Hanai."

"HOW? How did you know my name?" He gasped.

Yakumo Robot smiled and bowed, "I know you well, from my sisters, Hanai. It's an honor to meet you. I am your Maiden for Hire. Thank you for your purchase of me, Model #Y15860. My name is Yakumo. I am here for your guaranteed service. I will cook for you, clean for you, and anything else you desire."

She approached him and held him. She said, "And also, if you want, since you're 16, I can give you a kiss…"

Hanai boomed smoke out of his head. He fainted with a smile on his face.

"Thank you… Thank you, oh, my lord!" He cried, "My dream Maiden!"

Yakumo approached his prone body and cradled him in her shoulders. She then whispered, "I dreamt of you, too, Hanai. I've always wanted a user with lots of heart. Not to mention having to use Miko in a very strenuous manner. You are my 5th user… and as a special bonus, you can choose to pay me later."

Hanai stammered, not knowing about her offer, "Yes… yes, you may… whatever… I don't care anymore…"

"Good," she whispered, "When my services end, you will pay my bill…"

"What now?" He asked weakly, not knowing that the robot started a tab.

Yakumo Maiden took off his glasses and placed them on the floor. She went close to her face and kissed him. She caressed his face and went towards his back. Of course, knowing that he's sixteen, the robot chose to go inside his shirt, rubbing his bare skin from inside. It's a good thing, too. In fact, throughout her past four customaries, she was never given a kiss or a carnal night. She made out with him for one hour.

The Maiden then began to work in the dojo, cleaning it up in breakneck speed. Of course, she was slower than her first run (She had four users before Hanai, after all). Hanai was still out cold, after a make-out session with the Maiden. He just couldn't wake up from her sudden charm.

Of course, after she finished, she went to Hanai and make out with him, without stopping. Though, she stopped, just to recharge. Every kiss she made was simply the biggest that she ever gave to him.

"Hanai was simply dreaming about me," she said, "I have waited six months to give my user a very tasty kiss. He's the perfect user… for me…"

She hugged him and started to kiss his lips continuously. She continued on, all night.

The next morning, Hanai woke up to see his Maiden for Hire snoozing by his side. He stroked her faux hair and was blushing.

"She must've been completely drained," he said.

He plugged her in and sat her down on a chair. He then got dressed and went to school.

"You know, despite the blue eyes, she's an okay Maiden," he smiled, "I forgot what I was going to do yesterday."

He left to school, as the Yakumo Maiden was recharging. However, she woke up and saw that she was all alone. But knowing that her user had gone to school, she'd gone ahead and began to clean up his dojo for him.

"I cannot wait to surprise him," she cheered, "My battery life may be limited, but my heart will go out to him."

At school, Kenji Harima was chatting with the Eri Maiden, dressed as her creator, Eri Sawachika.

"So, I heard that Four-Eyes got a new Maiden," he said, "I thought he gave up on Maidens for Hire."

"That's what I thought, too, Harima," she replied, "But Tomo told me that he wanted a second chance. He bought Yakumo Model, by the way."

"So… Four-Eyes finally got one of Tenma's Sister."

"Exactly. But it won't be easy, I tell you. Remember Miko?"

"No… I kind of forgot, but I think it was the same Maiden that took over the classroom and made Martial Law in 2-C."

"That's her… Of course, I was creat-."

Hanai appeared with a smile on his face, "Good morning, Harima and Sawachika! My, what a lovely day!"

He marched inside the classroom with very high confidence.

"Okay, what the hell was that?" Harima asked.

Eri Robot remarked, "Beats me. Hanai must've bonked his head… that, or Yakumo Model must've used a fresh pine floor polish."

Harima then held her and asked, "What do you say, 'Rich Girl', shall we head in?"

The robot answered, "I should say so, 'Whiskers'. Knowing what the Maiden did, it's going to be peaceful… maybe…"

They walked in the classroom and took their seats.

"Listen up, everybody!" He called, "I, Haruki Hanai, have become refreshed! I think I should tell you that I have purchased a Maiden for Hire."

The class was astonished and very angry.

"What again?" Tenma cried.

Akira said, "I knew it wouldn't last… Hanai was a fool, but I never thought he'd try it again."

Mikoto glared, "What is trying to do? Haven't he learned anything?"

Eri Maiden was smiling. She whispered to Harima, "Hey, Kenji, do you think he'll bring Yakumo Model in?"

"I seriously doubt it," Harima whispered back.

"YOU TWO! QUIET BACK THERE!" Hanai called out. Both Harima and Eri were shocked.

He continued, "For those of you who do not know this, but I will not present her to the class. I learned my lesson about the class's morale and safety; not to mention my Maiden's very own life. My Maiden will stay at my dojo. If you like, you can come and visit… but keep your hands to yourself!"

Mikoto snuffed, "We'll see about that…"

Akira added, "How smart… After what happened to Miko, he's playing it safe."

Eri Maiden whispered, "He's playing the Safe card. What a class rep he is."

Harima whispered back, "Trust me, Rich Girl… Hanai may be a jerk, but he's not stupid."

"I see your point. Remember what happened betwe-."

"HARIMA! SAWACHIKA! PAY ATTENTION!" Hanai cried out.

Both students started to shiver in attention.

"Wow… he's scary when he's angry," Eri Maiden cringed.

Harima started to shiver, "I think we'll discuss this later."

Mikoto was the first. For the next evening, she arrived at the dojo, looking for Hanai. She went in the front area and found the Maiden, who was sleeping in her chair, while plugged in. She took a good look at her and was very frightened by her face.

"NO WAY! He… he didn't!" She shrieked, "He bought a Yakumo Maiden?"

The Maiden woke up and saw Mikoto. She sat up and bowed to her, "I'm happy to see you, guest of Hanai. I am Yakumo, his Maiden for Hire. Hanai is not here. Shall I ask your business?"

Mikoto was completely scared.

"Is there something wrong?" Yakumo Robot asked, "I think you should be able to explain it to me. You want to share it with me?"

Mikoto then said, "Uh… yeah. My name is Mikoto Suo. I used to be friends with Miko, a Maiden owned by Hanai."

Yakumo then bowed again and was flushed red, "Oh… so I have heard… I'm such a good girl… to know about your friend's former Maiden flame."

Mikoto asked, "Say what?"

Yakumo then blushed and went to the kitchen to make dinner for Hanai. Mikoto sat down on Yakumo's chair, feeling scared.

"I'm… I'm feeling faint…" she whispered, "Hanai… he finally did it."

Yakumo Maiden, in the kitchen, started to growl a bit.

"Who is this bimbo?" She growled, "She cannot have Hanai! He's mine!"

She rapidly cut the leek with the knife, turning the long stalk into pieces, and then into small mulch. Of course, she did it in anger and jealousy.

"I know it is against my prime directives, but I must keep his heart intact."

She held up the knife and grinned evilly, "Hanai, my hot stud. I'll have you all to myself."

The next day, Eri Maiden entered the dojo and went to see Hanai, who was setting up the table for Yakumo Maiden. She approached him and suddenly bowed at him.

"Oh, Miss Sawachika," he remarked, "What brings you here?"

He doesn't know that this Eri is a robot.

"Is your Maiden present, Class Rep?" She asked, "I want to speak with her… alone."

What is Eri Maiden up to? Perhaps SHE wanted to learn about Hanai's new Yakumo robot girlfriend (IF you call it a girlfriend). This is only the beginning.
