Feeling anxious

Kanae Kotonami lately was anxious. Something told her some things weren't right. Everyone seemed to keep her away from LME head quarters. It was really suspicious. She didn't get any message from Kyoko. She knew her friend was on her Violent Mission, but for her not to give any sign of life from that long… it sure was wrong. It was pissing her to no end and she decided to find out what was going on!

First she wanted to entrance LME from normal passage but strangely everyone who saw her there gave her just new job outside LME main building. For Kanae it was only new evidence something was going on and she was meant not to know. She couldn't agree to that!

There should be the way to get there and she decided to do everything it would be needed to do it. After a little reconnaissance she put on herself a disguise. She was an actress, confusing few LME workers shouldn't be that hard.

She slipped inside, trying her best not to bring attention on it. She noticed almost no changes, everything seemed working fine. She tried to spy on receptionists; they always knew the most gossips. It didn't help. And yet inside of Kanae grew the feeling, Kyoko was in bigger danger that she thought her friend would be.

She would never admit it, but Kyoko was precious to her and she would never let her feel the pain. It was very strange bond and yet it was the first friend Kanae wouldn't just give up to anybody. She noticed how that playboy- Tsuruga- adored Kyoko. It is not that she hated (that good-for-nothing-fake) him… It was clear he cared about Kyoko… It is just that… Kyoko is too innocent. He could easily manipulate her…

Ok, she had to admit it… it was about the winning too… She liked the way he looked after loosing to her. He, the oh-so-cool-model-and-actor, was easily defeated by her… Such a lovely feeling!

Kanae composed herself. No one should have seen her like that. She had a mission to do! She chosen the best place to observation and waited. If the fate is grateful to her, it wouldn't be long to find the best sacrificial lamb.

The truth is out

Down LME corridor jumped up and down happy Yukihito Yashiro. He was clearly joyful, twirling in the air with big grin on his face. In his state, he couldn't feel the danger which was in the shadows. He did feel it however in the moment rope caught his legs in mid-jump. It squeezed on his ankles and made him fall on his face with loud "Ugh…" He lost his conscious.

After Yashiro came back to conscious his face wasn't smiling anymore. He woke up by a slap in his face and now his live was on a very thin line. He was facing Kanae Kotonami, called tenderly by Kyoko "Moko-san". He was however in front of Kotonami-the-dangerous-kitty than delicate lady. Her eyes emanated very angry energy that was inside of her. He knew what kind of questions she would be asking. He gulped.

"Kotonami-san, you look beautiful today! Is it the new mascara on your eyelashes? Astonishing!"

"Silence! Stop with the crap! What did you do to Kyoko!"

"But Miss Kotonami!"

She tightened the rope which was holding him firm to the chair.

"Don't make me use force, Yashiro. Spill it out and no harm will be done!"

She wasn't joking, to give him the taste of her anger she smacked him with the whip. (He didn't notice it before in her hand but now its presence was undeniable)

"But I can't! I… I… don't know where she is now!"

"Oh? So you knew where she was before? That's good too, you know… Spill it!" (Smack)

"President is going… Oh!" Yoshiro's eyes went wide. He would have smacked himself for this obvious slip, but his hands were bound.

"I knew it was President's job! Now spill it all!" (Smack)

"Never! Ren is my friend and… Noooo!" (Smack)

"Ren? She is with him? When I get my hands on that stupid President… Where is she?" (Smack)

"…"

"Oh… You're not going to talk?"

Yoshiro decided to sacrifice himself for his friend happiness. Her smacks weren't really hard. It brought him… instead of pain… pleasure?

"Babe, please tell me everything, will you?"

Kanae hated using her sex-appeal; another idiot in love with her was just another nuisance… But her friend's happiness was the most important (And not loosing to the oh-I-am-so-handsome), so she had no other choice.

She threw her hair back and put her finger in her mouth. Her eyelashes started biting up and down. She touched his knee by her own.

"Please, tell me?"

Easy catch.

Author's note:

Thank you guys about your response on my last chapter! It does make me happy!

Okinawa Haruhi- I hope you are not disappointed about my tease… *blink blink* some anticipation will raise your hunger I think…

Mangaaddict300- I guess this time counting is not possible… Or maybe I'm wrong?

Deathofmichiko- Guilty. I admit. My fault. But I'm not regretting!

Rui- thank you for information about spelling. No more that one in future I hope! And don't be sorry about reviewing when you feel the need to, not every time! It is Ok with me! I like them, yes… But it isn't any kind of duty! Bow! Bow!

MangaAddict2688- I guess Natsu shouldn't be the only one putting Emperor in order. Kyoko herself has the guts to do it, she only is bounded by her sempai-kouhai relationship, don't you think? I had to agree… Ren would definitely let her touch and much more if only she would tell her needs… (Evil grin) Maybe she should?

Shizu2- You are probably right… Emperor should be more… irresistible? I just hope to explain his behavior… he is facing the first time a girl, who is ashamed of desiring him I suppose?

Hello! Thank you for your review! About the tango… Well my parents are learning it and that's why I decided to write something about it. The scenes… Well one could see them in movies. They are very impressing. (I mean the closeness of two people… it seem short in time yet full of emotions, right?) Hope you will still continue your support! Bow! Bow!

Mimim0a- I'm actually blushing. My self-opinion is a little bit higher thanks to you! Thank you… Hope new chapter isn't disappointing?

Y'Svel-For me Kyoko is still childish so I figured for her that thing will be for now a magical object… Well when I was thinking how to describe it… and that phrase entered my mind and just wouldn't go… I'm happy you were laughing about it just as I was laughing writing it! (Ekhm… as for the welcome- you guys are my story's most important part. All in all, if I didn't have you I would stop writing…so… Thank you! Bow, bow!
