Chapter 12:
"Hey Yuriko, I was wondering if you could help me?" Tatsuha looked around to make sure Aiko wasn't anywhere close by. Then he filled the bar maid in on his plan. He put the phone down with a smile…Jake fuller was going to get what he deserved. Then he went back to shadowing Aiko as he had been for the last two days. He wanted to make sure she didn't try to face Jake.
Then he called Tohma and Yuki and asked them to come over for dinner. Tohma would be able to handle this better now that he'd gotten all the necessary proof. He and Aiko cooked very simple food and waited.
---------------------------------------
"Hey guys, there's something I have to tell you…" Tatsuha repeated everything he'd heard and all the proof he'd got. "I'm done getting everything yet…there's one last thing I need…"
"Then you want us to wait? You do know you're in a lot of danger now right? On top of it you're living with Aiko…there's no knowing what he can do…" Tohma cupped his head in his hands. Yuki just watched Aiko subtle-ly and carefully. The girl seemed calm enough except for the concern for Tatsuha on his face. He wondered if she was planning anything under it all.
"I think we should notify the police immediately, but ask them not to press charges until Tatsuha has collected his proof. I think we can hold out until then." Aiko said to Tohma.
"But in the meanwhile, this Jake guy might find you and even if we notify the police we'll still have to keep you under guard with plain clothes detectives or something." Yuki added, still watching her, something really wasn't right. She looked up at him and smiled.
He smiled back at her. He was worried about her not just the baby she was carrying. She stood up and looked at him. "Yuki-san, would you like to help me get the ice cream and chocolate sauce out? You all haven't had dessert yet, forgive the simple food, but we were too tired today."
Once they were in the kitchen, Aiko turned to look at him. "I know what you're thinking Yuki-san, you're right! I do want revenge. I want to kill the bloody bastard in the cruelest possible manner…but you needn't worry, I wouldn't endanger your baby. But I will tell you one thing, if he dares come here and attack us; I will blow him to bits." Yuki involuntarily shivered when he looked into her eyes, he'd never seen her look like this and hoped to god that she never looked like that again!
"I understand Aiko-chan. But I'm worried about you and Tatsuha as well…as much as I hate it, you've made a place for yourself with us, so it's not just the baby. Please take care and don't do anything stupid." His eyes widened with surprise when she hugged him and gave him a sweet smile.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"Kiss me baby, oh…….." Yuriko leaned into Jake's chest. He bent down and kissed her hard. "You're so hot!" she giggled as the drunken man lifted her up into bed. She reached for her back slowly and shuffled around for a minute. Then she scrambled on top of him and kissed him along his neck line. "Baby, you're o hot…you can get any woman you want!" she poured him another drink, which he downed in one swig.
"Not any girl…" Jake mumbled as he hugged Yuriko. "You see that girl over there? In that picture? I can't get her…she always likes someone else." Yuriko looked at the picture of the beautiful sandy haired girl and almost smirked. There was no way in hell a girl like that could fall for a gudgeon like Jake!
"Tell me about it sweetheart" she purred sliding her hands up under his shirt. "Tell me about that stupid girl who could refuse a hunk like you…" her cooing worked really well and Jake started to spill the beans in no time.
"I killed the bloody bastard! You should have seen it Yuri…I punched the life out of him. Are you scared of me now Yuri?" he slobbered all over her neck. But she humored him. "No Jake, I think you're the perfect man! I would kill any girl who tried to take what was mine! But why cant you get her now Jake?"
"That damn bastard, a stupid punk named Tatsuha, I warned him away from her, I hope he took my advice or it'll be his blood spattered all over!" Jake clenched his fist, but Yuriko cooed to him a bit more calming him down and giving him more drinks. She waited till he passed out and left quietly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aiko opened the door. Who would be calling at this hour? She saw a pretty woman, with short dirty blonde hair and wash-out blue eyes. "Is Tatsuha there?" the woman's voice was husky. Aiko felt a wave of jealousy envelope her, but she invited the woman in with as much grace as she could manage.
Tatsuha came in and saw the woman. "Yuriko! He hugged the other woman, a little too tightly in Aiko's opinion. "Have you got it?"
"Yes I have it. but that is the last time I do anything for you! The jerk was so disgusting! I had to let him slobber all over me!" she made a face and Tatsuha laughed.
"I'm sorry, but it's all on the tape? Good! Oh Yuriko you're awesome!" he grinned at her again.
"Can someone fill me in please." Aiko tried to keep her voice neutral, but she couldn't help sounding a little acid. Tatsuha looked at her puzzled. "Yeah, I got Yuriko to get Jake drunk and she got his confession on tape."
Aiko looked from Yuriko to Tatsuha in disbelief. Then she suddenly hugged Yuriko. "I love you, thank you so much!" when a thought struck her. "Hey wait a minute, you're not the one that helped Tatsuha become an alcoholic are you?"
Both the others blanched a little. "Uh…" Yuriko nodded. "I'm sorry girlie, but he was so into you and that other guy Sakuma, that he kept coming to the bar. I don't hold with students having to pay heavily for alcohol. I'm sorry."
Aiko didn't know whether to fume or laugh. Yuriko turned to her again. "That Jake dude is certainly very besotted with you. He told me all about how he killed that Tim guy over and over again. Personally I think you should get away from that maniac girlie." Tatsuha tactfully steered Yuriko to the door and gave her the promised sum of money. Then he walked back in to find a very angry Aiko.
"I wish I could kill the idiot. I really do!" Aiko pounded the table with her hands. "It's not fair! Let's get him Tatsuha, nail him for me and then hand me a gun! I'll kill the man!"
He hugged her close. "I'm sorry; I know you want to do all that. But come on Aiko, we really have got him nailed." He rubbed his hand over her swollen tummy. "And really don't be so mad, this kid will grow up with the worst temper on earth. He'll have tempers from Eiri and you and he doesn't need all this anger adding to it."
Aiko looked at him for a moment before she burst out laughing. "Sure, he'll take over the world and become Hitler or something!" she let him lead her to the bedroom and cuddled up with him.
----------------------------------------------------------
Tatsuha hugged her close. He wondered how long she'd be able to hold in all the murderous feelings. He hoped that Jake could just get his ass to jail soon. He ran his fingers over her smooth skin. Now all they could do wa wait…
