Sakura Kiss: Part Two
"Atobe, what happened to her?" Taki immediately asked when he notices his buchou arrived carrying Asuka in his arms. His black jacket covering her body and her face and body bruised; both of them are soaked from the rain.
"It's better if we don't talk about it," he replied grimly, carrying her upstairs. The Hyoutei Regulars look at each other, wondering what had happened but all has an idea of what had taken place. They had been invited for dinner, but had not expected something like this is going to take place.
"Asuka-chan…" Jirou mumbled sadly, glancing at the stairway with a grim expression on his face; his usual cheerful expression gone and replaced by seriousness.
"She doesn't deserve this," said Shishido, his hands clasped together and supporting his chin then continues, "Especially not her," the remaining Regulars did not say anything but agrees silently.
'Asuka…' Oshitari silently thought, his gaze focused on the stairs where the said girl rests.
The dinner begins shortly after Atobe came down the stairs, and silence blankets around the room except for the occasional clinking from the silverwares.
"Keigo, what happened to Asuka?" asked Atobe Kiyo, the CEO of the Stock Exchange, glancing at his son and his friends. He had asked Asuka to join for dinner so he can talk to her after some business regarding what Miyagi family had requested prior to their leave.
"She...had an accident," Keigo answered hesitantly, glancing side away with a small frown on his expression while Kiyo looks at him with an eyebrow raised. His son nods in agreement but did not elaborate his statement, making Kiyo guess what had really happened.
"I see…" Kiyo responded unsurely with a sigh and stated, "I asked her to come regarding her parents' will," as he massages his temple, trying to ease the oncoming headache. He had not anticipated that something like this would happen, especially to her.
"Her parents' will…?" Taki echoed as he writes it down in his notebook. Kiyo did not say anything but nods in agreement, making the Hyoutei Regulars wonder what the will is about.
"Yes, that is something only she and I will discuss about," he replied seriously as the Regulars glance at each other, trying to decipher the meaning behind his statement.
"I understand," said Keigo with a nod, sending a look at his teammates so that they would not ask anything further.
'Where am I?' was the first thought that entered in my mind as I tried to focus my vision. Everything around me is so blurry… I noticed that I'm resting on a canopy bed and the room looks so huge. I let out a yawn before sitting up, trying to remember what happened. Suddenly, the incident rushed to me like a tidal wave; the talk with my boss and those men, the unbearable scene in the alley, the rain, and my savior.
'Who saved me…?' I thought, trying to remember who that shadowed figure is and mumbled, "Seems familiar…" It's too bad that I lost consciousness before knowing my savior. I let out a sigh and shake my head, then notices that I'm wearing a pair of pajamas. Wait a minute…who put these clothes on me…?
"At least that didn't happen…" I said quietly to myself as I get out of bed and puts on a pair of slippers then walk out of the room. I noticed in the mirror that I'm wearing an ice-blue camisole and black sweats. Not a bad choice.
"I wonder what the others are doing…?" I wondered out loud as I walk down the hallway, hearing indistinct voices from downstairs. I stopped outside of the living room, trying to listen in on their conversation but I couldn't make out anything.
"I wonder what they are talking about…" I murmured, peeking into the room. I noticed that the Regulars are talking to Kiyo-san about something, which made me wonder what they are talking about.
"So father, what's the will you're talking about?" Keigo asked, trying to pry the information out of his father; however, the said person shakes his head and refuses to answer him.
"That is between me and Asuka, Keigo," Kiyo replied strictly and notices the said person peeking out from the wall. Asuka walks out of her hiding spot and looks at everyone with calm yet saddening eyes.
"Konichiwa Kiyo-san, minna-san," Asuka greeted, bowing slightly to them then asked, "How may I be of help?" as Keigo raises an eyebrow in question at her sudden change of behavior.
"Come walk with me, Asuka," stated Kiyo as he stands up from his seat and walks out of the room. Asuka looks at him in confused before bowing once again to the Regulars and follows Kiyo towards the garden. The remaining Regulars look amongst each other before silently following the duo.
"What is it that you want to talk to me, Kiyo-san?" she asked, leaning against the gazebo with her arms crossed and her calm gaze looking at him. Behind many rose bushes, Asuka notices many silhouettes of the Regulars, trying to eavesdrop on the two. She lets out a soft sigh, pretending that she did not notice them and glances at Kiyo.
"Asuka, your parents left you a will," he started slowly and the said person nods in agreement, indicating for him to continues, "And here," as he entrusts her an embroidered envelope.
'What…? A will…?' I thought as I hesitantly accepted the envelope while glancing at the fancy title of "To Miyagi Asuka". I open the envelope, not knowing what to expect since this is too sudden… I mean first, I almost got raped by a group of men that I don't know and now this? I slowly take out the letter from the fancy envelope and unfold it, glancing at the letter briefly before reading it.
'Dear Miyagi Asuka,
You may or may not know of this but we are the owners and Executive Officers of CSA, which is also known as Central Starlight Agency. What is CSA you ask? For many years, many mortals had wondered what it is like to be a part of Central Starlight Agency, what it is like being one of its agents, and most of all, what is Central Starlight Agency. Yet, to them these questions remain unanswered and hidden. However, to you, the future owner and Executive Officer, I shall reveal them to you.
There are many classes and statuses at the Agency; Class 0 being the lowest and Class Z being the highest. However, many people think otherwise but none of the high-class agents bother to correct them; plus, there are many occupations concerning Class 0 to Class B. Each agent in the Agency has another occupation aside from being a part of the CSA and these are ranged from engineers to lawyers to doctors to physicians to spies.
The Central Starlight Agency has high expectations for its agents, and those who cannot or will not meet these expectations are instantly removed and/or punished. When a person wants to join the agency, he or she will be required to face a trail of qualification, and if excelled in trail, he or she will be recognized as a Class 0 Agent then work his or her way up the statues; however, each level is much more difficult than the last. We had made sure that all agents are fully trained and prepared, both mentally and physically, before they move up to the next class. Most importantly, the agents, of all classes, are expected to be ready at all times for any kinds of situations, no matter how trivial or how crucial.
The Central Starlight Agency is known for its precise intelligence on global adversaries, high-tech. gadgets, and excellent groups of spies and agents. However, bear in mind that some of the agents in the Agency are known as lawyers, doctors, engineers, and etc. Plus, as an Executive Officer, you must know how to use weaponries like all the agents and deal each situation calmly without giving in. We will not push to be an Executive Officer, Asuka; the choice is yours if youchoose to accept or not.
Executive Officers of Central Starlight Agency,
Miyagi Kouji and Miyagi Nadeshiko'
'Okay… that was some explanation,' I thought, blinking in surprise at the writing but instead of wanting to back out, I want to join and be that Executive Officer that mom and dad was talking about. I finally know what my parents do and their job is pretty exciting and I'm glad that they finally told me. I mean, all my life… I was only told that my parents do something important and left me at that. I was not told how they died, but as of now, I have a pretty good idea.
"So what does it say?" Kiyo-san asked me, but I just shake my head in response. I think this is something that must be kept within the family.
"Just entrusting their family business to me," I replied, keeping it as brief as possible, and said, "Thank you for giving me the letter, Kiyo-san," then I bow to him before leaving the garden.
