Dark Kingdom 48

"Makoto, where are you going? ", Usagi dived after her friend. Why was she so fast even though she was walking normal steps?

"Makoto!"

She finally caught up with the brunette and held her back by the shoulder. "You don't really want to go there, do you?"

She had to take several deep breaths and was more likely to continue speaking. Gosh, she really should be doing more exercise.

"What if it is dangerous?"

"Believe me, it's not dangerous.", Makoto replied in a derogatory tone.

"What?", Usagi didn't understand. She was so confused by her friend's answer that she realized too late that she had broken away from her and headed for the vehicle. It wasn't until the loud bang when Makoto hit the roof of the car that she finally startled.

"Hey, do you have any idea how much the car cost?", came a loud scream from inside the car and the driver's door was thrown open angrily.

A young, blond man appeared. And suddenly Usagi was sure that she had seen him somewhere before.

"Do I have. I was there when you bought it. ", Makoto answered the man's question coolly.

"You ?!", he took a step back. You could literally watch how every color drained from his face.

"What the fuck are you doing again, Jedite?"

Makoto leaned against the driver's door with crossed arms until it closed automatically.

"Will you take care of the mirror, please?" , the young man asked, almost pleadingly.

"This one?", Makoto asked and put her hand on the round side mirror. The man nodded carefully. The cracking when Makoto broke off that mirror made Usagi winced.

"There! You take care of it. ", The brown-haired woman grimaced with a malicious grin. "Now tell me why you persecute innocent school girls. Have you discovered a new fetish?"

"Do you think I'm a pervert?"

Makoto held the side mirror like a newborn baby. "I'm undercover."

"Undercover?", Makoto suppressed a laugh. "With that cart?"

"I like my car, okay ?!"

"Since when are patrol officers actually allowed to carry out surveillance?"

The blonde pouted his lower lip pouting.

"Doesn't matter!"

Makoto didn't seem to like that answer at all. She grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pulled him close.

"Do I have to force you to tell me the truth?"

"This is a threat from a police officer," , he stuttered.

"Not when I'm very tender."

She smiled seductively and slowly ran up the inner thighs with her free hand.

The young man's face turned deep red and he squealed in alarm.

Makoto! ", Usagi called out loudly. Until now she had only followed the conversation, if you could call it that, of the two of them in silence. But slowly she finally wanted to know what was going on here.

"Still not got your turn?", Makoto asked the young man. Then she finally let him go.

He is breathing excitedly.

"That's not funny."

Usagi looked at him worried.

"Is everything okay?", Somehow she felt a little sorry for him. Well, he had followed her for who knows how long. But now to have to endure such a lecture, and that from a girl, wasn't exactly nice either.

Makoto noticed her concern for leadership, but just waved it off.

"He always has that when a woman comes too close to him. Usagi. May I introduce you to this pile of misery? Jedi. "

"Don't call me that. You know exactly my name.

"He rummaged in his pocket and took out a thin wallet. "My name is Jedite."

He held an ID under Usagi's nose.

"Why is a cop following me? Did I do something wrong? " , she asked confused. Suddenly she was scared. Not even for herself but for Mamoru. If that policeman had been chasing her for so long, he might have seen something. Something of what he did. From his work.

Usagi tried to stay calm. She couldn't let anything show.

Makoto suddenly leaned over her shoulder, also looked at the ID.

"Expired," , she stated. "All right, Jedi, what's this going to be? Spit it out or do I have to ask your mother first. "

Usai stared at her in disbelief. How could her friend be so cheeky with a grown man?

"No! Please don't. "Jedite fought off and quickly put away his ID. "She just worries unnecessarily again."

"You're not a police officer at all?", Usagi asked incredulously and with wide eyes.

The person opposite blushed again.

"But already. But I'm on leave. "

Makoto just groaned in annoyance before continuing.

"I looked at files that I needed for my second job."

"As a pizza delivery boy?", Makoto countered smugly. Jedite was getting annoyed by her belligerence.

"I'm a private detective.", The blonde explained without going into the swipe.

"Hold on!", The brunette pushed past Usagi, grabbed Jedite by the collar again and pushed him against his car. "Who hired you to shadow Usagi? You are certainly not doing it free of charge. "

His eyes narrowed.

"Do you seriously think I'll betray my customers?"

"Do you want to be brave?"

"Your friend is probably a lot more courageous, given the people she messes with."

Usagi's heart seemed to skip briefly. He knew it! He knew about Mamoru!

"Take it easy with the accusations.", Makoto's grip on his collar tightened. "Who do you think these people are?"

"Diamond.", came the short answer from him.

"What? Usagi has nothing to do with Diamond. "

"Of course! She is with him all the time. "

"Constantly?", Makoto turned to her friend questioningly. She just shrugged her shoulders and answered honestly.

"We met a couple of times by chance."

"So you're his girlfriend!" , Jedite interjected.

"What? No! ", Usagi raised her hands defensively.

"You can hardly believe it, but there are actually men who can also talk to girls normally without getting nosebleeds.", the brown-haired woman hissed at his ear.

"That happened once.," he defended himself.

"But why are you chasing me?" Usagi asked again. If the two of them kept arguing, she'd never find out what was going on.

"I want to know Diamond's weak point." , said the young policeman between clenched teeth.

Makoto let go of him abruptly. Almost too fast. He half slumped and was just able to stand on his feet by clinging to the remnants of the cables from his mirror.

"Are you still on your vengeance campaign?" , she asked in disbelief. "It's pointless."

"How can you say something like that?" , he snapped back.

"Because I finished with that." Makoto's voice changed. If she had just been cold and threatening, now suddenly she seemed close to tears.

"What do you want to achieve with this? Reparation? For whom? That doesn't bring him back either. Nephrite is dead. "

Usagi had to swallow. Was this really still about her?

She had never seen Makoto so emotional before. The brunette student groped her ponytail with a sigh and looked back at Jedite.

"Finally accept it. And damn it, stop chasing Usagi. She is neither Diamond's weak point nor his girlfriend. But if you keep harassing her, you will get to know her real partner. And that, my dear, is really a threat. "

She turned on her heel, thought for a moment, and turned back to the blonde.

"One more little thing."

Her smile seemed a tad too friendly. So it probably didn't surprise anyone when she lifted her knee in a split second and buried it between his legs with full force.

"It was for ruining my relationship,", she added. Left the whimpering policeman behind for good.

Usagi was far too shocked to react immediately.

"I'm sorry.", she whispered to Jedite, who had now slipped down his car like a wet sack and was holding his soft tissues with his face contorted with pain.

She tried to quickly leave the pitiful sight behind and ran after Makoto.

"Why did you do that?" She wanted to know. "You hurt him. You don't do that. "

"Says the girlfriend of a hit man.", added Makoto cynically.

That sat!

"Sorry!"

The brunette sighed. "I'm just so mad. And so damn sad. "

"Do you want to talk about it?" , Usagi asked sympathetically.

Her friend gave a pained smile.

"Let's go to that cafe from last time."
