CHAPTER 20

"Would you like some more Mei?" Asuna held the teapot as she motioned to pour.

Mei nodded slightly as she watched Asuna fill up her cup.

They had been talking for hours about a certain blonde. At first Mei thought that she would regret asking Asuna to share her stories about her time with Yuzu, but for some strange reason Mei felt all the more closer with her wife. She had a new found respect for the woman sitting next to her.

"She made a fool of herself so often, but she never gave up. I guess that's why I wasn't surprised when she graduated at the top of our class." Asuna took a sip of from her cup after she spoke.

Mei quickly placed her cup down as she turned her attention completely on Yuzu's ex.

"Top of the class, Yuzu?!" Shock was all over Mei's face as the question left her mouth.

Asuna let out a small giggle before continuing to speak about Yuzu.

"Yip, that is definitely one of the things I love about her the most. Just her ability to give 200% in whatever she does is really amazing."

Mei quickly recomposed herself before she grabbed her cup and had a sip.

"So, I guess it was love at first sight?" Mei kept her eyes down as she asked her question, but Asuna's answer made a smile form on her lips.

"Ohhhhh, no way. We didn't get along at all."

Asuna noticed the smile on Mei's face and couldn't help but ask, "Is something funny?"

Turning her face so that she could look the brown haired woman in the eye Mei spoke in her usual monotone voice.

"It seems we have something in common."

Mei looked down at her wedding ring before she returned her attention to Asuna as she spoke.

"Yuzu and I never got along at the start either."

There was a comfortable silence between the two. Then, simultaneously both were wearing smiles on their faces as memories of Yuzu seemed to fill their minds.

"So how did you two…"

Mei was trying to figure out the correct words to use but Asuna filled in the gaps for her.

"Get together?" Asuna answered, Mei simply nodded as she waited for her to continue.

"Well it's a bit of a long story, but while we were at university I was helping my family with the business. We supplied a lot of security to companies and sometimes special clients. It just so happened that Yuzu was out with some guys and they were being a bit rough with her."

Asuna seemed to be thinking back to that moment.

Mei could see the love in the other woman's eyes as she continued to speak.

"I don't care who you are, no one deserved to be treated like that. So I went over and told them to get lost, which they thought was a joke and laughed in my face."

Mei knew Asuna's family was among the wealthiest in high society, specializing in security. Asuna was the only girl out of 5 brothers, so Mei wasn't really surprised when she found out that she knew martial arts.

"We hung out for a bit after that and it turned out that we were into similar things and we kind of kicked it off after that."

Mei watched as Asuna took in a large breath before speaking again.

"I truly loved her with all my heart, when she left me that was the hardest time in my life."

Mei could see the tumult of emotions in the beautiful brunette's eyes.

"I believe that Yuzu loved you too."

Asuna smiled and replied, "You don't have to say that to make me feel better Mei."

Mei lightly shook her head before she spoke.

"I'm not, I'm simply stating from what I saw and felt from Yuzu. She truly loved you."

Asuna looked Mei straight in the eye's, but all she could see was honesty.

"I guess she loved you more though, right?" Asuna watched as Mei's gaze softened before she answered.

"Yes, I suppose you're right, at least you will always be her first, no one can take that away from you."

"We never went that far."

Mei nearly dropped her cup, she looked back at Asuna before she tried to speak.

"What do you mean? Am I Yuzu's…"

Asuna finished Mei's sentence for her as she spoke in a soft tone.

"You were her first. Didn't she ever say anything?"

Mei shook her head as she spoke.

"No, we decided to leave the past in the past. I just naturally thought that you two had been intimate since you were together for awhile and Yuzu seemed to know what she was doing."

Asuna let out a small giggle before she spoke.

"It's probably from all those Manga's she loves to read so much."

Mei smiled as she thought about how many times she had to scold Yuzu for leaving her Manga's lying around the house.

"Mei!"

Both women turned to see Lara run through the door, out of breath, as she spoke.

"Mei, we found the kids, they just turned up at the Police station we are heading there now"

All three women ran out the door as they hurried to their destination.

A FEW HOURS EARLIER, WHERE EVER YUZU AND THE KIDS ARE….

The door swung open and a tall man walked in. He lifted Yuzu to her feet as he spoke.

"Hmph what's so special about you anyway?"

-BOMP-

Yuzu head butted him, he placed both his hands on his head as he tried to stop the room from spinning.

"Run!" Yuzu yelled as she looked at the children.

Hiro grabbed his sister's by the hands and led them out of the room.

"You bitch!"

Yuzu tried to get passed him but he quickly grabbed her by the hair and slammed her against the wall.

"Ugh!" Yuzu coughed up blood as he punched her directly in the stomach.

The pain was nearly unbearable. Yuzu tried to fight back but her entire body was sore and unresponsive.

He punched her a few more times, she could feel her consciousness starting to leave her.

The last words she heard before everything went black were, "Hey the boss said to keep her alive."

Yuzu slowly opened her eyes, her body felt heavy and everything ached.

Each breath felt like it was stabbing her throat.

She looked around the room and saw that it was empty.

She thought to herself, 'I hope they made it.' And then she collapsed on the ground.

Yuzu could hear voices just outside her door. She closed her eyes as she tried to make sense of what they were saying.

"I have no idea where they went, those little brats disappeared on us." One man spoke.

"If I get my hands on that little punk I'm gonna make him cry for his mommy, he broke my fucken nose!" Another complained.

Yuzu couldn't stop a smile from growing on her face as she eavesdropped. But the next sentence that she heard made tears form in the corner of her eyes.

"I can't wait till the boss gets what he wants and we can get rid of this blonde. He should have just let me kill her off last time."

'So I guess this is how it's gonna end for me?' Yuzu thought as she opened her eyes and looked at the state she was in.

"Hey Boss is coming, get ready!"

Yuzu quickly turned her focus back to the door, she could hear the footsteps approaching and the men outside acknowledge this man that they called Boss.

The door opened and Yuzu couldn't believe what she was seeing.

'This can't be real, can it?' She thought to herself as she just sat there and looked at the figure standing in the doorway.

"What? No hello? Is that how you greet family?" His voice was cold and calm, Yuzu tried to understand why he would do this but nothing was coming to mind as she spoke.

"Why are you doing this Liam?"
