AN: Hello to those who still read this! Sorry for the long absence as I'm currently REALLY bus with university. And also since after new year I have gotten a part-time job. So my time writing the continuation will be far in the future, but I try to work on it maybe during classes at uni.
Also, there will also a new OC in the future story so there will be a different flow now. And that has made me thinking how to get this OC into the story so it doesn't seem to be really weird where this person suddenly pop up.
So have this one chapter as an apology from me, and I do hope you will enjoy it.
Disclaimer: I don't own MSB, but only my OCs
Chapter 06:
"I want to be her bodyguard."
The person who raised his opinion was Kaiji. All of the bodyguards looked at him with wide eyes, wondered why he wants to be her bodyguard and why did he raise his opinion faster than anyone. And the girls were surprised that Kaiji wanted to be Ai's bodyguard.
"Chief, you will be having a meeting with Mr. Takizawa after this meeting. He will explain more detailed information, because he wants to assign me as her exclusive bodyguard."
Daichi understood the message from Kaiji, and continued talking. "If you say so, Kaiji, then I will put you as her bodyguard. Then next, who wants to be Ana's bodyguard?"
The discussion continued on, and after they finished appointed the bodyguards to the girls and were on their way to the guest rooms, the girls were a few steps behind the guys and whispered about their bodyguards.
"You guys realized something, right," Ana whispered to the girls.
"Yeah, the guys had chosen us just like we had the discussion earlier before we met Ai's father. Do you guys think this is coincidence that the guys had chosen us just like that? Well, beside Ai's bodyguard though," answer Mimiko in whisper.
"I don't think so. There's nothing like coincidence, unless they actually stood outside our room when we were waiting." Ai said this in a loud voice, and this made the guys beside Daichi twitch their shoulders a bit which only Ai saw this and smiled. Because she actually did this on purpose to see their reaction. "So I guessed right, huh?"
Subaru stopped walking and turned around to face the girls. He wasn't the least glad with the tone Ai said that she guessed right, and talked back to her.
"It's not our fault that you guys were loud that could make the whole world hear your discussion about us."
"You know that it is very rude for a guy, or guys in this situation, to actually listening other people's discussing, even you are a bodyguard?" Ai said this to Subaru with a bit harsher tone, but Kaiji asked her one thing that made him realize something.
"But how come you know that we were outside your room? It is impossible for you guys to hear us when we were really quiet."
"Huh? Well…I could sense that someone or somebody was outside the room, but I wasn't sure how many there was out there."
Ai said this so bluntly that it made Vivian and Mimiko questioned her too.
"Then it means that at home when I was going to call for you that dinner was ready, you could tell that someone outside your room?"
"Huh? Yeah. It has been like that since I was small, as far as I can remember."
'So she still has that ability even though she lost her memories…,' Kaiji thought while having a distant between him and her while the others were talking to the girls. 'But there is something about her eyes that tell me she still somehow recognize me. So there are still chances that her memories will return.'
"Akizuki?"
A sweet and concerned voice interrupted his thought and when he looked where the voice came from, he saw Ai looked a bit worried for some reason.
She had managed to sneak out of the discussion and went up to Kaiji because there were a few questions she wanted to ask him, and without having him notice her sneaking up to him.
"Is it okay that I ask you about something? Because there are many things that make me wonder after I met you."
"Sure. And you can call me for Kaiji, no need for formalities. The same go for the other guys, as we are going to hang out pretty much closely than being strangers. Pretty much like 24/7." He said with a smile to hide his worries about her, and took his hand and patted her head.
"It seems like either Ai or Kaiji has made the first move already!"
Mimiko, who just noticed that Ai wasn't around them and saw that she was with Kaiji, teased them and made the rest of the gang, turned their faces to them. This made Ai and Kaiji distancing them, but Ai blushed slightly even though she didn't know why, and Kaiji looked at her with surprise at why she blushed.
"What? They made the move already?!" Sora and Ana screamed with surprise at the same time, while Vivian and Ellen went straight to Ai, each hooked her arms and took her away to a room nearby and locked the door.
Subaru, Daichi and Kaiji looked stunned at how Vivian and Ellen just took Ai away from them, Ana and Sora were still talking somehow happily about the situation, while Mimiko and Mizuki understood the while situation. But then it all ended up in a heavy silent.
"Just what happened?"
It was Daichi who broke the silent, and Mimiko answered him with confidence.
"It is nothing to worry about, but since most of the guys already heard the girls' talk while we were waiting for you, Daichi, and Mr. Takizawa to come back, we didn't manage to fish out any information from Ai. So now, she will be experiencing hell, as she is the youngest among us."
Subaru was about to speak up but stopped abruptly when he heard screaming came out from the room Vivian and Ellen dragged Ai in to. Everyone went silent as they could only listen to the screaming for help, but couldn't move to do anything. When the screaming finally died down a bit, Subaru began again to ask Mimiko what actually happened in there.
"It is something related to her dislikes. The punishment against her for this time, and from the screaming, I can guess it is tickle attack on her for now. There is a lot more under our sleeves, but it would be better that it is not being spoken." She answered him with a smirk, it made him uncomfortable which made him somewhat understood the situation, and he wouldn't ask about it any further.
They were silent and waited for them to get out of the room. When they saw the door finally opened, not sure for how long they stood there, only Vivian and Ellen went through the door and closed the door. The bodyguards weren't sure how to react to this, but Sonja and Ana just smiled as if nothing had happened. They stood there until Vivian and Ellen came up to them, and gave them a small and easy request.
"I think it is best that Ai rest up in that room now or we could have Kaiji to carry her to her room. But we think that you, Kaiji, carry her to her room. We don't want her to sleep at the floor, though she needs a lot of rest now," said Ellen when she faced Kaiji, "This week, she has worked more than necessary, and she nearly gets any rest. She woke up early to make our breakfast, left for classes, and then worked at her part-time job till late at night."
"And as for who made the dinner this week, it was between me and Ellen, as Mimiko and Ana are banned from going into the kitchen to make food. They almost blew up the kitchen, so we don't want anything like that ever happen again." Vivian said the last remark before the guys ask about who made the dinner.
Mizuki noticed something that wasn't correct about how Ai's schedule, but asked Kaiji to carry Ai to her room first and then asked the girls about something a student should have been doing. "But how does she doing her studies? You said that she went to her part-time job right after her classes, so there is barely any time for her to study."
This made the rest of the guys questioned themselves too. But they got the answer when Vivian answered them.
"She works with her study during eating breakfast, during working at her job as in during her breaks, and right after she came home. This only makes things worrying for us, since she only gets few hours of sleep before she wakes up to make our breakfast. So this is why we want her to rest as much as she can now. You can share this information to Kaiji afterwards when he comes back from carrying Ai to her room."
Kaiji carried Ai to her room while she seemed to be asleep. He was amazed how she is fast asleep now after all of the tickling she had been through. When he put her to her bed, unconsciously he whispered that he wished Ai will get her memories back.
'It is really sad that I'm the only one who has the memories of us two. I'm just glad that I got to see you again. But to think that you actually lost your memories and had to move out of country because of dangers, that news is really a shock for me. I hope that everything will calm down soon.' He thought when he went through the door of Ai's room and on his way back to the rest.
After he finally reached them, he got a fast and short summarize of Ai's condition for the week that was, and he understood why she was fast asleep when he went to carry her to her room.
"It was no wonder she would tire herself out, and she would break down if this is going to continue. But good thing that she finished to take cover-up shift for the person who was sick."
For the rest of the day, Ai kept sleeping until the next morning, while the other, beside Daichi who went to meet Mr. Takizawa to get more information about why Kaiji being Ai's exclusive bodyguard, were getting to know each other while discussing the schedule, things in common, about themselves, but Kaiji was away from them to clear his mind about things that had happened to Ai so far.
