Chapter 8
From Mio to Maiden (Part 2)


The next day, Mio & Minako were walking to the Tsukamoto House. Mio asked her, "Minako, I've been thinking… You're new here, and yet you know about Tsukamoto-Senpai's house. Tell me… Is there something I would know?"

Minako replied, "Well, no… I've only been here, for a while now… and already the city is new to me. I guess I was just lucky."

She thought, "I'm happy that the Maidens for Hire HQ saved the address of Miss Tenma & Yakumo Tsukamoto. Miss Tennouji must never know."

Mio said, "It's not that far, right?"

"Indeed."

They continued walking, as Ayame, the first Maiden V, was above the trees, viewing the action. She groaned, as she thought, "What the hell is she doing here? And why is she with that crybaby Tennouji?"

She asked, "Hold on… She's going to Tsukamoto Yakumo's place? Uh… uh… Ohhh… I better think fast…"

She thought, as she held up a small metallic pen, "This is perfect~! No one in their right mind would ever consider Ayame Model as a spy… But I'm spiced up and all over with savor!"

She held her pen up and cried, "MAIDEN POWER – Change me into a Yagami High student!"

Ayame's pen is similar to Sailor Moon's Moon Pen and Sailor V's Moon Compact, as she is able to change into disguises, with ease. She changed into a high school student, with a light brown blazer, red skirt, black socks, and brown shoes. Her hair was done up in a tuxedo braid, and is also wearing glasses.

She giggled, as she said, "Spanking!"

Minutes later, Mio & Minako arrived at the house, as Ayame was almost there, but in the opposite direction.

"Well, here we are." Minako said, "I think it's time."

"Minako… Thank you so much. I long to meet her."

"Anytime, Miss Tennouji."

She shook her hand and Mio said, "You know… You can call me Mio, if you like. We are in the same class, after all."

Minako smiled, "Okay… Mio…"

She gasped in horror, as Ayame finally arrived. She saw her and growled, "You…"

She waved her arm up and cheered, "Wassup, my maidens~!"

Mio asked, "Huh? Another girl?"

Minako whispered, "Ayame Model? No…"

Ayame laughed, "Hey, bite-sized! Long time, no see~!"

Ayame glared at Minako, and then turned to Mio, "Hey, cutie~!"

Mio shivered, "Uh… er… Ahhh…"

Minako barked, "Ayame Mode-, I mean, Ayame! Leave her alone! She's fragile!"

Mio asked, "You know her?"

Minako sighed, "She happens to be my sister…"

Ayame barked, "Hell, no, we're not sisters! She's not LOOSELY related to me, like born in the same WOMB as Mom!"

She whispered to Minako, "Quiet, you shithead. You want to expose yourself? I know the mission, yes… But I have bigger shit to worry about."

Minako whispered, lightly angry, "What are you even doing here?"

Ayame whispered, "Hey, I have to watch my fellow Maidens."

Minako sobbed, "Please leave!"

Mio asked, "Excuse me… Uh, Ayame, right?"

Ayame bowed and said, "Yes. I'm Ayame Kajou. I'm going to be a transfer student in Yagami High, along with, uh…"

Minako replied, "Minako Aino."

Ayame barked, "That name? Such a stupid, yet obvious, alias."

Minako wept, "Don't blame me! That's Hanako's fault!"

Ayame smirked, "Sure it is."

Mio asked, "What was that about? And who's Hanako?"

Minako and Ayame cried, after they gulped, "URK! Nothing…"

Mio asked, "Are you going to be in 1-D with Shuji?"

Ayame asked, "Who?"

"Shuji Harima." Minako said, "He's in 1-D, while Mio and I are in 1-C. She likes him, but… you know."

"Sucks to be you, huh?" Ayame said to Mio.

Mio blubbered, "Thanks…"

Suddenly, the door opened, as a woman in short black hair, wearing a blue shirt and beige pants appeared. She asked, "Um… Excuse me… But, why are you arguing in my house?"

Mio gasped, as she recognized her, "HER? SHE LIVES HERE?"

Minako & Ayame bowed and said, "Oops, sorry."

Ayame said, "We fight a lot, that's for sure… Also, she started it."

Minako cried, "I did not!"

She walked towards Yakumo and asked, "Yakumo-senpai?"

"Uh, yes?" Yakumo blushed, as she was nervous.

"My name's Minako Aino. I'm going to be in Class 1-C, next week, with Miss Tennouji."

She showed her Mio, as Mio was shaken in nervousness. Yakumo smiled, "I see… We've met before, back in the Culture Fest, two years ago."

Mio blushed, "Uh… Uh… Yes, ma'am… I mean, Senpai, uh… uh… I'm… uh…"

Minako giggled, "She's just nervous, because she's going to be alone. But I'm going to watch over her… from time to time. I figured we come to you, reluctantly."

Ayame sighed, as she thought, "Oh, brother."

Mio asked, "Should I stay with you, for a mome-, I mean… May I come in?"

Yakumo said, "Well, okay. I mean, it does get lonely, without Tenma. Would you like to come in for tea?"

Minako giggled, "Lovely~!"

Yakumo asked, "What about you, Miss?"

Ayame was sneaking out, but stopped and nervously smiled, "Uh, eeyeah… I'd love to, but… You see, I was going to, but… something came up and-."

Minako clasped her right arm and growled, "You're coming in."

Ayame gulped, "Mercy."

In Yakumo's living room, they were having tea (though Ayame and Minako refused to, since they're Maidens).

"Enjoying the tea?" Yakumo asked.

Mio smiled, "Thank you."

Yakumo asked, "Uh, how come you aren't drinking your tea?"

Ayame huffed, "It's shit."

Minako barked, "Language!"

She replied, "Well, it's too hot, is what she meant. Me, it does taste a bit bland."

Ayame whispered, "You do know we're robots… We can't drink anything."

Minako whispered back, "Stay OUT of this…"

Yakumo smiled, "I see. So, tell me about yourselves, you two. I mean, you are new here, and I want to know more about you girls. Are you like best friends or something?"

Minako said, "Well, sort of."

Ayame laughed, "Oh, you could say that, Ma'am! Minako and I live together, in the same apartment, when we were kids! And we had such fun, together, until Dad moved our family to Kyoto, only for Middle School."

Minako thought, "It's a good thing Ayame has nothing to do… but tell stories. But she knows what she's doing."

Ayame continued, "And when we returned to Tokyo, I wanted to study abroad, so Dad enrolled me to Yagami High."

Minako gasped, "AH!"

Yakumo said, "I see. When do you start?"

"Next week."

"Liar." Minako thought, "She's on a mission, right now. She can't enroll in this school!"

Minako said to Yakumo, "Anyway, you know of Miss Tennouji's debut in high school, and she's upset. The boy she loves is in another class."

Yakumo asked, "Oh, I see… Who's she in love with?"

Minako thought, nervously, "Oh, boy… I wonder if she knew Harima…"

She asked him, "Do you know of a gentleman named Shuji?"

Mio panicked, "Uh, Mina-?"

"Shuji?" Yakumo thought, pondering over who Shuji was. She nodded and said to them, "Oh, yes. I remember. Tenma and I went with Shuji, when he was with Harima, his brother."

Minako thought, "So, she does know!"

Yakumo said, "That was on Tenma's birthday, which I believe was Harima's birthday, the next day. But that was years ago."

"Oh…" Minako replied.

Ayame asked, "Wait… They share the same birthday?"

Mio asked her, "When is her birthday?"

Minako replied, "Sorry. But I do not share personal information towards others."

Yakumo said to Ayame, "Tenma's birthday is November 30th, while Harima's is on the day after: December 1st."

Ayame replied, "Oh, right… And I thought they share one on February 29th."

She beeped, "Error. February 29th is every four years."

She gasped and responded, "I mean, if they had the 29th, they would be children!"

Minako asked, "You okay, uh, Ayame?"

Ayame said, "I'm fine… I almost slipped out my tongue to cheek…"

Minako replied, "I'm not going there. But I have a feeling she dodged the bullet."

Yakumo asked Ayame, "You're okay? You almost sound like-."

Ayame blushed and said, "UH, NO! No, no, no, not at-at-at all. I should be-should be go-go-go-go-going."

She rushed off, while she was smoking from her head. Minako thought and said that she was overheating, after a near-accidental blurt. Minako whispered, "Ayame Model…"

She bowed to Yakumo and said, "I'm sorry for her rudeness… but Ayame's a handful, when it comes to making mistakes."

Yakumo smiled, "Oh, that's alright. I mean, you girls are… uh… sisters… For some reason."

Mio said, "Poor girl. I wish I knew what it was she was going to say."

Minako said, "Ayame denies it, but we're more of a blood-related family."

"Unlike the Maidens for Hire?" Mio asked.

"Uh… Yeah, that… It's complicated to explain, though… (Rats, I knew she'd jump the gun…)"
She actually meant "Jump the shark".

Yakumo asked, "So, about Miss Tennouji… What is it that you want?"

"Advice." Minako said, "You see…"

The TV played, as it showed a news report of two Maidens for Hire, performing in a Manzai act. They were the same gynoids that appeared and made complete fools of themselves, acting like funny girls. The girl in red hair was dressed in a purple and white maid outfit, while the girl in black hair was wearing yellow and green. They were a Manzai Comedy Duo that was discovered. Minako was only paying attention to Yakumo, as she was given advice on how to comfort Mio, since she's going to the same school as Shuji. She didn't mention that Mio is in love with him.

Minutes later, Ayame called from the window and said, "Psst! Hey, Minako!"

Minako said, "Oops. Sis needs me. Listen, thank you for the talk… and the tea. You should give me the recipe for it."

Yakumo replied, "It's not a problem. And thanks for looking after the girl. If you need me for more talk, please… come see me on the third floor."

Minako giggled, "Right. I'll see you then… Senpai."

She said to Mio, "Be right back."

She left the living room, as Yakumo said, "She seemed nice."

Mio said, as she was alone, "Uh, well… Yakumo-senpai… now that they're alone, I need more advice… about Shuji…"

She left the house, as Ayame was waiting for her. She giggled, just as soon as Minako would leave through the front door. She mocked, "Senpai~! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Minako roared, "SHUT UP! Like you'd be a saint!"

"I know."

"What do you want?"

"Listen, while you were yoking it with Tsukamoto, big news… The two Maidens I have spied on… Get this!"

She explained to Minako that the two Maidens, Rie & Luno, are in Tokyo. Rie, the girl with big breasts and long red hair, and Luno, the girl with black hair, were last spotted near the spot of where Miko Maiden died. They even said that they were on an important mission, only to change into their humorous side. What's worse was that, before that, they attacked an innocent man, for his perverted ways, and used Defense Mode. After that, an old man recruited them to perform in an act, and that was it.

"So, you mean… You were gonna tell me that?" Minako cried.

Ayame said, "I saw the news, and looked up on the internet, inside me. No doubt… Rie & Luno Models are here in Tokyo. I'm going to check their show, later on."

Minako asked, "Are they defective models?"

"Not sure. But I may look it up, once I have a look. In the meantime, I'll leave Tennouji in your care."

Ayame walked off, as Minako asked, "WAIT! What was that about, almost exposing yourself to Miss Tennouji?"

Ayame said, as she held her head, "To be honest… I have no idea. I may have to return to the nearest Maidens for Hire HQ for a checkup. For now, you got this…"

She hugged her and said, "Just take care, and grab an ass."

"EW! AYAME MODEL!" Minako roared.

Ayame dashed off, sticking her tongue out at her, "BLEH! I'll see you in school, sucka~!"

Minako yelled, "I HOPE I EVER SEE YOU AGAIN, YOU JERK!"

She calmed down and sobbed, "How embarrassing…"

She then said, in complete worry, "But still… Rie & Luno… What could they be doing in Tokyo?"

She scanned their model numbers and found a match:
"Rie Model #1K1R1… Luno Model #3NJ1… Both Maidens from… … …"

She gasped, as she cried out, "NO… They're from… THEY'RE FROM KAWASAKI?!"

She thought, as she was nervous, "That's where another Maiden was built in Kawasaki… But… I always thought they were wholesome and family-friendly. So, why are they that voluptuous?"

Back inside, Mio told everything to Yakumo, as she confessed that she loves Shuji. Yakumo was amazed, as she said, "I didn't know that… I'm sorry to hear that."

"I am surprised that you even knew him."

"Well, he and my sister had a feud, but she says that Shuji might be in love with me… But I never bothered to tell him."

"I know… Shuji is known to have a very strong brother… My brother, Noboru… well, he knew Shuji's brother, too well…"

"I understand."

"But after he said that he met him, one more time, he stopped caring about it, and changed."

"How so?"

"I told him that he cannot be a bully, forever." Mio replied, "It's only because he's been covered in welts and bruises. I scolded at him, saying that he is going to get expelled for this."

Yakumo asked, "Uh, curious… Was this Noboru… a huge bald man?"

She was scared, as Mio was curious, in confusion, "Huh?"

Back outside, Minako and Ayame waited, as they were downtown. Minako said that she was looking for her for more information. Ayame said, "I'm good enough… by myself. Why did you abandoned Tennouji?"

"I'm sorry… I have bad news to confirm… Those two Maidens you're looking for? Rie & Luno Models…"

"NO!" Ayame gasped, "KAWASAKI KANS?"

"Uh, you're saying it like a controversial fighting game."

"Sorry… It's how I'm built… to enjoy smut and lewdness. But I'm a polite and honest to grain Maiden, down to my soft boobs and cozy butt."

Minako sighed, walking away in disgust. Ayame cried out, "WHAT? Can't a Maiden compliment on someone's assets?"

She sighed and said, "Never mind… Kawasaki, huh? I better find them. They could be rogue…"

She dashed off, heading to where Rie & Luno are located, as Minako rushed back to Mio.

Moments later, Mio left Yakumo's house, as Minako was tired out, running back from downtown, for 25 minutes. She panted and heaved, as Mio cried, "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?"

Minako moaned, "My… body… is… Ungh… Sorry. But Ayame Mod-, er, Ayame had an emergency… I had to help her."

Mio smiled, "Well, while you were gone, I told her everything. You don't mind it?"

"I don't. Not at all. Come on. I'll take you home."

They walked together, with Minako holding Mio's hand, taking her home.


Days later, Mio was in her classroom, as Minako was sitting next to her, in complete anger. She was sulking in her seat, as she was fuming. Mio was shivering, as Minako was grumbling. Mio tried to ask her, but was scared to ask. Why? Because Ayame was sitting behind her, in the next desk.

"I can't believe you had to come here…" Minako grumbled.

It turns out that the black-haired gynoid wants to assist Minako, all while finding Rie & Luno, along the way. So, the company approved of Ayame coming to Yagami High's transfer, without Minako's consent, which infuriates her.

Mio looked at both of them, as she thought, "Oh, my… This will be a long school semester…"


We learn of their names, and now, we learn of their actions. What are Rie & Luno's plans?
And will Minako & Ayame help Mio AND stop the Kawasaki Maidens, at the same time, without being exposed?
The answers lie ahead, next week!
