Mayuki Saitou casually brushed her short hair with a fine tooth comb, as her dark eyes scanned the report in front of her. It seemed that events were starting to unfold that could be catastrophic for Tokyo. Knight from the late Crashers wasn't dead, and it seemed that his contacts had brought him into a new arena of death and betrayal.
Mayuki smiled quietly, and said, "It seems that father will have his work cut out for him in the coming months. If Knight meets with Rook, things could get messy very fast. But if he doesn't, he might get interested in reviving his late father's ... ambitions."
"Yes, that could very well happen, if you'd tell me what's going on!" Hajime said as he walked into his only daughter's room, and stood in the doorway. "Who's Knight, someone special?" Hajime said, his amber eyes narrowing.
Mayuki felt her cheeks redden, yet quickly shook her head in the negative.
"You've kept too many secrets, maybe you should spit a few out. I am the new police commissioner, after all, since Takatori is gone. And I am you father, you can tell me if these things-" He started.
"No! It's fine, gotta go. Um, could you let Mr. and Mrs. Himura know that I'd like to meet them at Sarata Cafe at six tonight, and Kenji-san too! If the Sagaras want to come, they can! Oh, you and mom too!!!" She said as she quickly stood up, and went past Hajime to the front door and left.
At Kitty in the House Flower shop:
"Aya! No! Not the crisantains, the roses, and the lillys! You overwatered them all, and dropped them!" Omi said in shock as he quickly ran over to Aya and took the said plants out of her grasp, and started to pick them up from off the floor.
"But, Omi-san! Brother said to water them, and I thought they require lots of water. Sakura-chan told me!" Aya said, thought she was out of breath from working at the shop all day.
"Well they don't. Why don't you go help Sakura-san, and Aya! Yoji and Ken have the later shifts, so the front needs help more than tending to the back. So, go already, I'll clean this up!" Omi said, his gaze hard on the broken containers and spilled dirt.
"Sure." Aya said uncertainly, and she slowly walked out of the back room.
"Aya-san! Help me over here okay?!" Sakura Tomoe said as she tried to lift a particular large plant.
"Hm" Was all he said as he walked over to Sakura and easily picked up the growing tree she had been struggling with. The bell ringed and a new arrival came into the shop.
"Down boys, I don't have any assignments. I'm here to talk to Ran and Aya, I'd like you two to meet me to Sarata cafe this afternoon. Around six-ish, if you will. It's important, so don't go objecting." Said a dark haired woman, named Mayuki Saitou.
Ran just stared at her, and his red hair slightly covered his violet colored eyes.
Aya looked startled, and her dark black/blue hair was grasped by her small hands. She blinked her lighter purple eyes and looked anxiously at her brother.
"Can we go?" She asked quietly.
"Yeah." Ran said, then turnt away from Birman and smiled down at his sister.
"Good, we'll be there, Birman!" She replied.
Sakura looked surprised and just blankly nodded when Ran asked her to inform Omi about them later, and to ask Yoji and Ken to actually tend the shop.
"Good, I have someone I think you'd like to meet." Birman said as she smiled at the two.
Mayuki smiled quietly, and said, "It seems that father will have his work cut out for him in the coming months. If Knight meets with Rook, things could get messy very fast. But if he doesn't, he might get interested in reviving his late father's ... ambitions."
