CHAPTER 8: PLANE
I don't own the characters or anything about this fiction except the plot and some OC's.
Somewhere in Uchiura,
A beautiful woman with long dark-blue hair was wearing a fitted swimsuit and had sat on the chairs in front of her diving shop. The sunset had changed the shade of her violet eyes which was looking over the ocean, appreciating the beauty nature had offered in front of her.
Her phone had rung for a call and she answered it as she had been expecting it already. A smile was placed on her lips as she had greeted the caller. "This is Matsuura Kanan speaking, how may I help you?" As if she didn't know who was the caller.
"SHIIIIINNNYYYYY~!" A loud shout came from Kanan's phone that made her distance her ear from the device to save her hearing. She should have expected this reaction from her blonde lover. Heaving out a sigh, Kanan placed the phone near her ears and she could hear Mari's cackling voice. That woman was so lucky that she loved her or else, she would have hanged up on her.
"Can't you just answer with a normal tone? I don't think that my hearing would survive more of this." Kanan sounded tired already and this conversation had just started.
"No need to worry about that, darling~! I have all the resources to fix that because I still need you to hear the sounds of pleasure that Dia and I make under your touch~!" Her lover's seductive and teasing voice came out of her phone. With face flushed, Kanan just palmed her face strongly to let her ignore the rush of memories and heated feelings that Mari's statement induced in her.
"Stop teasing me, Mari. Now, let's talk about the schedule of your return first." The diver leaned back on her chair and situated herself to relax.
"Oh, also Dia had said to me that she had succeeded in inviting Ayase-san and her wife for the celebration of Chika-chan and Riko-san's graduation. Though Ayase-san tried to invite their other members, we can't really tell who would be able to come because of their busy schedule. You had already returned here in Numazu from a long expedition for that schedule and she said Hi, by the way."
"Please say Hi back to You-chan for me too. You can tell Dia that everything would be fine, we can finalize it later when I am back there in Japan." The blonde responded with a laugh because she knew that with the confirmation that some members of the µ's would be coming, their black-haired lover would be neurotic to make everything perfect.
"For now, everything is going along to Dia's schedule plan and of course, I will be having my cousin with me too~! Though there is just an unexpected person that will also be joining us too." Mari answered back with something in her voice which told Kanan that her lover seemed amused.
"Oh, and who will be joining you, Mari? So that we can inform Dia to increase the lodging where your cousin will be staying in Tokyo." Their black-haired lover had been stationed in Tokyo for some time already because she had been handling some exporting problems in their business. With the location and being the best person to hide a secret from their group of friends, Dia had been appointed responsible for the location of the celebration and the task of inviting the µ's members.
"It is just my cousin's bodyguard who is also a fellow Japanese. Her name is Rossa Leone and curiously, she reminds me of Chika-chi. There is just that something in Michelle's bodyguard that is really familiar to me like I have seen her before but I do know that this had been the first time we've met." Mari honestly answered even though the latter part had been vague.
She could not really think why the ginger-haired woman reminds her of their former idol group leader. It might be their energy but the blonde knew that wasn't it.
"Well, that is definitely something. I can't wait to meet her then if you say that she is like Chika-chan." Kanan responded, intrigued. No matter how Chika thought of herself as average, the diver could tell that her younger childhood friend is definitely special that she doesn't realize it. And if Mari said that a person was like her mikan-loving friend, there must be something special about that person.
"She's also very beautiful and fun too~!" Mari added as an afterthought which made Kanan frown because of the slight twinge of jealousy that she felt in her heart.
"You can't be possibly be hitting on her, are you, Mari?" The diver asked her lover with a stern voice. The blonde on the other side of the call just laughed in amusement once she realized that Kanan was jealous.
"Don't worry, Kanan~! You and Dia are the only person for me and probably the afterlife. You two are my most important persons in the world and I would never endanger what we have in a one-night threesome." Mari had stated with a rare seriousness that surprised the dark-blue haired diver. That isn't the only thing that caught her attention too.
"One-night threesome?" Kanan couldn't help but ask. She was confused where that came from especially if they are talking about the bodyguard.
"I heard from my cousin that her bodyguard only joins a threesome and never had a one-on-one with anybody ever. Rossa-chan's quite kinky~!" Kanan could tell from her tone that she had her mischievous face and she just sighed. "If that bodyguard is kinky then so are we, Mari~!"
"Never said that we aren't, Kanan." The blonde laughed but was soon distracted by the person knocking on her door. "Well, we need to cut this short, darling~! We'll probably reach Japan this weekend and I'll be calling you once we arrive." Mari had hastily said as she went to the door.
"Okay, I'll tell Dia about this. Bye and take care of yourself! I love you." Kanan had said on the phone and it had been returned back by her mischievous lover who couldn't help herself but get the last word.
"I love you too~! Just take some of our 'tapes' if you missed me and Dia too much, Kanan. Also, please send some clips to me after, Bye~!" with an energetic goodbye, the blonde had hung up leaving Kanan blushing at her lover's insulation. The dark-blue haired woman just sighed and looked out towards the sea.
'Looks like the reunion would also be exciting. I can't wait to see them again.' Kanan thought with a smile gracing her lips.
A few days later, in the international airport…
"Miss Ricci and Miss Ohara, you can board the plane now. Here, please let me take your luggage for the trip." Their private plane attendant had told them but had also noticed that none of the blondes carried any bag with them.
"Oh, our luggage was with my bodyguard. Have you seen her? She has reddish hair but looked like an Asian." Michelle and Mari had gone to the bathroom, leaving Honoka alone with their bags. The attendant sheepishly looked at the waiting area and the two blondes also followed that direction. There, laying on the luggage, was a sleeping Honoka in a black suit with an orange tie.
Mari couldn't help but laugh out loud in amusement for the bodyguard and her younger cousin's facepalm in embarrassment. She just watched with bright yellow eyes, amused as her cousin went to the ginger-haired woman and pushed Honoka off to the ground.
The younger woman then continued to berate Honoka who collected their luggage with a sheepish smile on her face. "I can't believe you fell asleep like that when we were just gone for just ten minutes, Rossa!"
"Sorry~! Sorry~! I slept late last night, Michelle. I had a hard time sleeping because I was so excited." The ginger-haired woman replied with a placating smile. She had been nervous about this trip because she was finally coming back to her home country.
"What are you, a kid?" Mari could hear the sigh after her cousin's sentence which led her to snicker. The attendant reached for the luggage as they were about to climb the stairs but Honoka held them off. She wouldn't let anybody come near to their things, because they might use it to harm the two women that she is with.
The ginger-haired woman placed their things in a secure area accompanied by a lock. Lorenzo had advised her to check the backgrounds of their service and pilot. He had also advised checking the cockpit and the pilot before surveying the whole plane for things that might hurt Michelle and Mari.
All of which Honoka did before she sat beside the two blondes who were both excitedly chattering. After a few minutes, she again fell asleep on her seat which made Mari laugh a little. Michelle just looked at her bodyguard with exasperation.
"Has she always been like this?" Mari couldn't help but ask about the older woman. Honoka might look like she was an outgoing person because of her child-like energy and charming smiles. The blonde could tell that she was kind of mysterious too because she looked a little distant from the situation.
"Yes, Rossa always had this habit of sleeping everywhere we go. Last time, we went to the zoo with Lorenzo and my father's bodyguards, Rossa had disappeared. We only found her sleeping with the lions in the zoo exhibit. She was very lucky that it had been past their eating time or else she would've been their lunch." Michelle laughed at the story as did Mari because it was truly ridiculous. "And note this, I was just 13 years old at that time. She had always been reckless and unpredictable like that."
The older of the blondes was impressed that she couldn't help but look at Honoka's face. She really reminded Mari of someone like she had already seen her in the past. 'Maybe I had met her when she was in Japan?' The blonde couldn't help but think since she heard from Michelle that the ginger-haired woman had been living in Japan in the past.
Mari had known that her current name was not her real name as joining the Oro Sciabola meant casting away one's past identity. She and Michelle had talked about the ginger-haired woman back when they had first met and the aforementioned woman fainted at the stairs.
Mari knew that Honoka was the Ginger Devil and was quite popular in the underground business. It was because the Ohara Family was responsible for the legal business of the Oro Sciabola and it was her duty as the heiress to know what might be going on the other side of their family's coin.
She had heard a lot of rumors about the Ginger Devil and she had thought that some of them were borderline insanity. So Mari couldn't believe that the so-called legend was sitting in front of her and all that she could see was an average charming young woman. Though because of her association with Takami Chika, she knew that she can't let the word "average" fool her.
There is nothing "average" with a woman who had joined a mafia group in her late teens and actually survives for almost 8 years now.
Surely, the additional person on their trip would make their celebration interesting.
I have an image of the plot's end but really, I am just winging this writing thing. I'll just follow the flow of words in my mind.
