Living Forever In You by kara papas
Madness lead Love
The ideas filtering through the hired hitman's mind could be no worse than anything anyone had thought to do the three HiMEs. Goshi decided, like most men hired by evil societies, to keep his evil plan to himself before altering the hands that feed him. The plan required time, craftiness, and manipulation to woo the women into trusting him as a friend. Goshi was convinced that if the two massive murdering women like Natsuki and Shizuru could peacefully live with Kenshi, there would be no problems at all. Goshi's goals were quit simple as he read over the files which had the most absurd information in them about these women having super powers. He needed to convince Ken that these girls were actually using him. However Goshi was well aware that he had an obstacle in the way; Mai Tokiha.
The way to draw the HiMEs out into the open and reveal their true killing forms was tough plan yet. Goshi went over many scenarios in his head over and over on which angle of attack to approach. If what they said about Natsuki and Shizuru was true then it was possible that Mai was like that too. It explained much to Goshi, and yet not much at all. The story was more deep than he wanted to know and as his job dictated he was not to care about such things anyhow. A killer's job was exact, cold, and calculated. Goshi's job was to be a walking smiley face carrying a handgun concealed in a bouquet of roses. This was exactly what he planned on doing.
The next day came as did those in the flat the night before. Mai happily buzzed around the kitchen only wearing Ken's shirt. Within a few minutes Natsuki lazily walked into the kitchen barely aware that Mai was bumbling around, and Natsuki also forgot her present lack of attire. The blue haired biker was clad in only a black thong and skimpy mid drift tank top which covered just enough of her pert breasts. Mai just stood there and blushed for many different reasons. First off, Mai realized the expression on Natsuki face was the very same one as Ken's one after they had sex for the third time in one night. Second, Natsuki had a very impressive body and it was obvious that is why Shizuru always lusted after Natsuki. The final reason that really made Mai blush was she was technically naked in her best friend's presence if it hadn't been for the shirt covering her body.
"Natsuki..." Mai whispered, but channeled her voice in such a way that it would alter Natsuki's attention. The blue haired woman's stance of laziness went rigid upon realizing her present appearance and the company that was with her. Natsuki slowly shut the cabinet she was searching through to face Mai.
"Mai...good m-morning? Wait...." Natsuki stuttered at first embarrassed with her own issue when her mind furiously put all the visual information before her together. "That's...Ken's …. shirt. And...you're... OH MY GOD!" Natsuki's face boiled red and a gun materialized in her hand as she quickly turned on her heels to kill Ken. Mai flailed out after Natsuki quickly wrapping herself around Natsuki.
"Wait!" Mai squeaked and snickered. She lovingly kissed Natsuki's cheek disarming the biker of all thought.
"What is that for? Why in the hell did you kiss me? What's wrong with you?" Natsuki blabbed out.
"He didn't take advantage of me. I seduced him at first...and then...we had sex. Lots of sex." Mai said in amused college girl tone. Natsuki sucked at her teeth and dematerialized her gun. The biker turned to walk away realizing Mai was still attached much like Mikoto would have mercilessly held onto Mai.
"Mai..." Natsuki grumbled.
"What?" Mai chirped.
"Get off." Natsuki responded with a growl.
"But it's so nice to be with you like this. I see why Mikoto did it. Ah, to be right by the one you love." Mai said squeezing tighter on Natsuki. The biker's face boiled bright red and her right eye began to twitch up controllably.
"You need to get off me right now..." Natsuki muttered before the cold icy aura of Shizuru crept upon Mai and her.
"Ara, you should stay like that. I need blackmail against Natsuki." Shizuru said cryptically.
The two other HiMEs just stayed still as Shizuru smiled that oh-so-Shizuru smile, and off went the tea drinking HiME to her aptly fitting job at the tea store. The night seemed more than just brisk for the young woman as the guilty image of her lover's face was etched into her mind. A pleasant smile drifted across her cream skin and she needed nothing else to sustain her for the reminder of the night as she toiled away. The owner returned to shop during the off day unknown to Shizuru and as she approached the back entrance she was greeted with open arms of the family of the tea shop. Her manager paid her under the counter with no issue of guilt. Shizuru elegance and appearance alone scream high class so for a woman like her to be in the red light district was enough said.
Shizuru's hair was kept up and held in place by one harmless stick that Natsuki handed to her about three years ago. It was a keep sake of Saeko Kuga and Natsuki felt it should go to her beloved friend. So with ease Shizuru quickly reached up to readjust her hair letting her fingers graze the etching of the hairpin to calm her spirits. Shizuru smiled and looked around at the small tea shop which was crowded with love alone from just five people, not including herself. The owner of the shop was an elderly man, but his family much like him has spunk. There were what appeared to be three generations excluding the owner's. The owner's name was Kisho Uji. The man would be about the same age as grandfather if he still were alive. The four remaining people in the shop who seemed delighted to see her were a mystery, but she could tell that these were his family members.
"Ms. Fujino, let me introduce you to my family." Kisho motioned for the youngest to come up to him who at first Shizuru assumed was grateful like all the other, but as the young boy got closer the redness on his face became more evident. "This is my grandson Taji Katsuya."
"So you're ji-chan's fallen angel? You're very beautiful." The young boy said. He was just a tad taller than her and very handsome at that too, and he was very keen on learning about Shizuru. The boy stepped aside letting his grandfather go on with the introductions. Kisho grinned at his grandson's attempts and waved for the next person to come over.
"And this is my oldest grandchild, Mika Katsuya. She is a detective here in Tokyo. I'm so very proud of my little Mika." Kisho beamed as the woman walked up to greet Shizuru. Shizuru keenly looked at the suit Mika was wearing.
"Ms. Fujino, my grandfather is very good at telling stories, but I have no idea if this one is make believe. I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am to you. If you ever need anything. Call me." Mika said smiling handing Shizuru her official card and walked back smacking her brother before he could tease her. Kisho gave a quick stern look to the two and motioned for what Shizuru assumed was his daughter to come over.
"I'll introduce myself oto-san." The middle aged woman said passing her father who crossed his arms across his chest. The middle aged woman had beautiful snow white skin and short hair cropped around her ear with stylish bangs. "My name is Ai Katsuya. Like my daughter said if there is anything you need. Let us know. Even if you are a fallen angel it seems to me you must be living amongst us." Ai laughed patting Shizuru on the shoulder lightly. Shizuru blushed at how wonderful Ai was and the liveliness she brought to the tense environment of introduction land.
"I too will introduce myself, and it is only right that a man should." A rumbling deep voice said from a very well aged man who would be about the same age as Shizuru's father. " I am Akihiro Katsuya, oh mighty akuma." Akihiro laughed and looked at the solid composure of Shizuru and had a chill run up his back when he realized that eyes he was looking into were absolutely rich crimson red. Perhaps she is a demon. What has Kisho gotten us involved in?
"Well, I am pleased to have met all of you. It was more than my pleasure to prevent any harm from coming to Uji-sama. He has been my personal slice of redemption." Shizuru said very crispily in that Kyoto accent. Koshi beamed with happiness upon hearing praise from his protector. Whereas his children and grandchildren looked at this savior with new eyes. Their thoughts went to the idea that she really could be what he described; a fallen angel.
So the day drifted on to night and the Mai found herself neck deep in rave scene at the bar that Natsuki and Ken worked at. The busty girl borrowed one of Shizuru's clubbing outfits and was from Ken's perspective the most beautiful woman he had ever set his eyes on. The problem with that possible fact for Ken is that most of the men in the club thought that too. Natsuki got out from behind the bar and quickly went to Mai who was dancing with an overly friend man who kept trying to grab Mai's ample chest. The blue hair bartender had no problems getting rid of the guy when she got closer. The guy happened to frequent the bar and Natsuki had to beat him off a few girls before earning her the nickname "fucking dyke" from him. The guy scrambled away and Mai walked over to Natsuki right as the songs switched to a slowly piece just as her arms wrapped around Natsuki's neck.
"Are you okay Mai?' Natsuki asked in a very soothing husky tone. Mai's face was already flushed from dancing, but it flushed deeper. Natsuki grinned and pulled her best friend closer. "Do you think you do a relationship like this?"
"Natsuki? Are you hitting on me?" Mai stuttered. Natsuki laughed wanting egg on her friend more, but she knew better.
"No, I'm referring to dating someone who works in a place like this. Do you think you could transfer up here? To be with Ken. He's good for you Mai." Natsuki said as Mai rested her head against Natsuki shoulder. People around them began to whisper about them as someone else approached them.
"Natsuki, I think I could it. As long as I have you...close." Mai whispered back as she looked Natsuki in the eyes barely inches away from Natsuki's face. Natsuki looked back with caring eyes and was about to respond when she felt a heavy hand land on her shoulder. The green eyed HiME turned in response to see Goshi looking at her with a drunken smile. Natsuki scowled at him and he gestured if he could cut in. Natsuki looked back to Mai and the orange haired girl didn't seem to mine so Natsuki walked away to return to the bar.
"You two looked like you were about to kiss and I thought that wasn't right for such a beautiful creature like you to kiss such a cretin like Natsuki-chan." Goshi said wickedly. Mai was feeling slightly off because of the way Goshi held onto. "You know Mai, I have something to tell you."
"What?" Mai sounding more than slightly disgusting with her present company.
"I know you and Ken are all lovey dovey. So I wanted to give you a heads up about your so called friends. You have no idea what they went through after what happened to them. They killed innocent people. Stole money, cars, just so they could get away to be together. As long as those two can be together that's all that matters to them. What if whatever is casing after them catches up to them? Those two will do anything for each other." Goshi said whispering hotly into Mai's ear before walking away as another song died down. Mai's face was flushed with confusion and flung into a type of doubt she hadn't dealt with since the carnival. Goshi had planted his seed of doubt perfectly and had the very possible the most powerful HiME lead by madness to defend her new love.
Kara Corner
Kara: Today interesting questions are. What do you when drunk? AND! What do you do about fustration?
Natsuki: Get more drunk so you can't be held accountable for you releasing you fustrations?
Shizuru: Ikezu
The next chapter should be good but it will be a while before that one is out too. Sorry this one is so short. I'm trying to keep a promise to someone. I'll never end it.
