Chapter 3: The Villain
"The traitor?" Mizuki said with a gasp. Motoko then smiled a bit, a teasing smile. "Ah…no…I was just testing your knowledge about the word 'traitor' and he's my senior, if I said that he was a traitor, it means that I wasn't respecting him " She said with an easy tone. Kitsune, Naru and Shinobu was puzzled of Motoko's smile, she never smiled at least it's what so far their knowledge is. But the thing they were most surprised in was that she teased somebody! 'Ok…so Motoko (chan, san) can smile…' The three thought unsurely.
"So, what about Koutarou?" Motoko asked Mizuki once they were inside, as always Kitsune, Naru, Shinobu, Suu and Sara followed them. Mizuki leaned to the sofa and went silence for a moment, "Hmmm…he became more handsome, in fact very handsome, he wears some kind of weird diadem, but that makes him looks handsome, his voice was like Seki Tomokazu with a soft tone, he has a pair of golden eyes and-" Motoko stopped her there. "Wow! That Koutarou guy must be very handsome" Kitsune exclaimed after she heard Mizuki's comment on Koutarou, her eyes are beaming with interest (you couldn't see it, but you could feel it).
"Yeah, only fake women wouldn't get attracted to him, even when I was walking with him, he gets a lot of eyes looking at him, even guys. Maybe they're jealous!" Mizuki replied to Kitsune. After 5 minutes of them chatting, Motoko went back to the main topic.
"My question is not that…" Motoko said with a sweat drop. Mizuki stared to Motoko. "So, what?" Motoko fell to the ground. Motoko sat back with a grunt, "I mean, what's he doing here? He's supposed to be somewhere in China right?" Motoko goes back to her usual 'ice menacing' tone. Naru was thirsty, so she brought tea for them all. Naru handed a cup of tea to Mizuki, "arigatou…Naru-san" Mizuki said politely.
Naru sat back to her chair and started reading some kind a dictionary for English idioms. Realized that Motoko was waiting for her explanations, Mizuki stopped drinking and held the cup in her hand, "I think he mentioned something like going to Japan just to meet someone he had a crush since he was a child and to take care of something about the dojo" Mizuki told all that she could remember, she was to busy looking at him, to remember anything more than that.
When Kitsune heard that Koutarou had a crush, her heart broke (as always). Suddenly the phone ring, "I'll go get it" Shinobu rushes to the phone and pick it up. A few minutes again she came back. "It's a phone for you, Motoko-san. It's from Koutarou-san" Shinobu then collects the cups onto a tray.
Motoko held the phone with no expressions at all, "Moshi-moshi…Koutarou-kun…why are you here?" Special to Koutarou, she shows much respect. "Didn't Mizuki tell you the reason?" The voice in the other end of the phone replied. "You're here to meet your girlfriend, right?" Motoko said with her hairs causing shadow over her eyes. Koutarou realized the unusual tone in her voice. "She doesn't even know that I like her, how come she suddenly became my girlfriend?" Koutarou said with a nervous laugh. "Anyway, Motoko…can we meet somewhere, just the two of us?" Motoko blushed of this sudden question. She glanced back to make sure that nobody is listening. "How about where you live?" Motoko suggested him. "Good!" then we'll meet at my apartment tomorrow. The address is…" After that they chatted on the phone for at least thirty minutes. Somehow, Motoko felt happy to talk to him. She knew that it was not herself to talk easily with a man, but she didn't care.
"Yes! We'll follow them tomorrow!" Kitsune was listening to the conversation with a device from Suu. "But it's not fair for Motoko-chan! She doesn't have any privacy!" Naru protested weakly. Suu was hanging from the nearest tree, Shinobu was stunned that Motoko accepted such a date, just as everybody. The three of them were in the roof with their ears on some kind of Walkman thingy that allows them to hear the closest phone call, and its Motoko's. "What's privacy? Is it delicious?" Suu asked with interest. Naru chooses not to answer Suu's question. Instead she tries to pursue Kitsune to leave Motoko alone.
"What? Don't you feel at least curious about Motoko's date?" Kitsune asked naru with one eyebrow up. She really looked like a fox now. "Not one bit" Naru was interested, but she wouldn't want to make Motoko uncomfortable, she wiggled her legs in to find a comfortable position for her to seat. Kitsune seems not to care at her statement and began to search something in the bag she brought with her. "Ah here it is" Kitsune showed the 'thing' out. They all stared at it. "Handy cam? What for?" Naru pointed to the handy cam. "To tape things in case if Motoko and Koutarou do 'something'!" Naru fell viciously.
The next day Motoko went to Koutarou's apartment in Shibuya, of course with Mizuki, Naru, Kitsune, Suu, and Shinobu following. 'I'm to idiot…to talk I such an easy to spy phone… maybe Suu had made some weird devices again…' Motoko thought hastily. She was bored at a long trip like that, Hinata-sou to Shibuya was long (long or not, just pretend it's long, I don't where Hinata-sou is), and from the worries about Kitsune following her, she just wished to meet Koutarou as quickly as possible, and then go back as quickly as possible again.
"Oi, Kitsune, is it safe to follow her like this?" Mizuki asked Kitsune. Her worst worry is; Motoko would chop them in half. Kitsune knew what was Mizuki worrying, actually she was worrying the same thing, kind of. "Of course, if she doesn't know we're her" Kitsune replied confidently, but a little shaky all the same.
"KYAAAA!!!!!!" some body screamed from the part of train behind Motoko, and there were gun blasts everywhere. "Stay in place or you'll die! Hand all of your precious things to us!" A ski masked man ordered, while his friend collected the things. When it came to Motoko's turn, the ski-masked man approached him, instead of his friend. The mask man stared at Motoko slowly, from face to leg, "seems that you don't have anything precious, except for virginity…" the man held Motoko's chin and forced her to face him.
Motoko looked at him in a boring expression, no glance of emotions, "what do you intend to do? Mr. Kidnaper?" Motoko asked him lazily. The man was confused of Motoko's 'show no emotion face', "You know what I mean, girl. You're kind of cute, so come with us and I'll spare your life" The man was starting to get angry of Motoko. "How 'bout it, gir-" In a sudden movement, Motoko has defeated the man with her kick.
It landed straight on the man's face, for a while all the passengers are stunned, they thought Motoko was a hero and they applauded for her. Motoko sat back to her seat, wondering something secret. "Wow! I don't know Motoko could do some karate" Mizuki whispered to Kitsune, it seems that they had been best friends now. Kitsune replied with a smug grin in her face, "she could do anything when she's angry, you know" Naru smiled at her friend's answer. 'Maybe at all this time, we don't know anything about Motoko' she thought sadly.
Koutarou lay on his futon impatiently. His sister, Kaori teased him from time to time, "ne, nii-chan how's the date, should I prepare a tape recorder? Or should I prepare that thing for you guys, or book a hotel room?" Kaori pushed Koutarou from the futon a laid there herself. "I said we aren't going into a date! We're just meeting as an old friend!" Koutarou tried to explain everything but Kaori wouldn't even bother to hear. Suddenly Koutarou's nose bleeds, "fantasizing your girl friend?" Kaori teased her brother once more. Koutarou turned his face away y from Kaori, "could you please wear your pant?" Kaori blushed but her expression changed quickly into a suspecting grin.
"Getting horny on your own little sister, are you?" Kaori smiled at his blush. "N, no, it was just a little bit awkward to see you just with your underwear and a shirt without a bra" He demanded nervously. Kaori held a innocent expression, "we're brothers and sisters, right? What to be embarrassed of?" "Even though we're blood related, it doesn't mean that you can just open your clothes and reveal your self in front of me!" He said in frustration.
"Hondou?" Kaoru asked him, Koutarou sweat dropped.
"Damn, where have they all gone to?" He put back the phone and walks in circles. 'I know Koutarou had lured her into a date! That damn fishy guy! What does he want to do with Motoko?' He starts to think crap, maybe from his frustration.
"Don't think about Koutarou-sama like that, he's your sempai" the sea cat in the TV commented him. Yuki glared at the sea cat in a boring expression, "that's because you don't know what my feelings are!" he spat at the sea cat. "Yuki…" it said in a sad tone, Yuki thought that the sea cat was going to say sorry, but, "you're the most selfish of all people" there were heard a loud crack, as the controller Yuki plays with broke.
"The traitor?" Mizuki said with a gasp. Motoko then smiled a bit, a teasing smile. "Ah…no…I was just testing your knowledge about the word 'traitor' and he's my senior, if I said that he was a traitor, it means that I wasn't respecting him " She said with an easy tone.
