Laughing, Yuya dropped her bags and doubled over to wrap her hands around her stomach as the laughter morphed into a full belly laugh. Tears prickling the corners of her eyes and her breath difficult to catch afterwards as Kyo was still arguing with the police officer that had pulled him over not fifteen minutes after she had made the call.
It had taken her a couple of minutes to catch up to where the police car had pulled over Kyo, but when she had it was worth the rush.
Kyo was angrily arguing with the officer about something that she didn't care too much for, while the officer looked both intimidated but determined to fine Kyo's ass.
Yuya could have kissed the officer as he got out his notebook and began writing out the fine, while Kyo continued to rage at the officer.
It was at that point when she had begun her hysterics, which caught the attention of both the officer and Kyo, the later who looked absolutely livid.
"Dogface, you had better not have something to do with this." He didn't raise his voice, it wasn't really in his nature to raise his voice at her, but the warning was there and the laughter began to die.
"Ma'am, please be on your way." The police officer just made her laugh again. Poor man lacked any presence. Her laugher calmed down to nothing and she wiped the tears from her eyes. "I'm sorry." Sniggers of laughter still escaping.
"Ma'am is there something funny to you about this situation?"
"No of course not. I was the one that called the police to get him to stop."
"You did what?" Kyo yelled, pushing by the officer that now physically restrained him backwards. Yuya, unable to help herself, was laughing again, not as loud as before but undoubtable sniggers.
Seeing that the two knew each other, and that some payback looked as if it had just been paid he officer quickly caught on. "Did you call the police in order to settle a person dispute here?" He was still restraining Kyo, although it was more Kyo restraining Kyo, as the office did not look like he could hold a candle to the Mibu. Neither in strength or stance.
Taken aback, all the laugher left her in an instant. "What?" Her face a picture of alarm.
"If you called the police in order to get back at this man here, then I am going to have to ask you come in too. The emergency services is not for settling personal matters."
"You can't do that!" Yuya protested. "It… it wasn't personal… not entirely… well… m-ma… he was driving dangerously!" Pointing an accusing finger at Kyo, whose face had lit up delightedly at the prospect of Yuya being in trouble along with him.
A quickly laughed before Kyo stood back and stopped trying to get at Yuya. "Looks like karma has come to bite you in your fat ass, Yuya." He taunted.
"Shut up Kyo! This is all your fault to begin with!" Shouting at him not helping her case at all. "If you weren't such a hot-headed idiot then you wouldn't get yourself into the trouble that you do!".
Yuya now advanced on Kyo but the officer put a hand up to stop her from going any further. "You two that is enough. I am taking the both of you in."
"I refuse." Yuya snarled, her eyes locked on Kyo's.
"Try me boy." Kyo responded, near giddy at the anger that he could see burning in Yuya.
The officer clearly now having had enough pushed both of them apart as they eased closer to one another. The push being a little too forceful for Yuya that she slipped on some gravel and fell to the floor landing painfully on her rear.
It happened so fast. One moment the officer was standing, the next her was on the floor not so far from Yuya, leaving Kyo the only one standing with a dark look in his eyes. "Bastard." He gritted out.
The officer was on his feet, a little unstable but dodging the next punch from Kyo before managing to make one of his own. Kyo laughed when it landed, his muscular body taking the shock as if it were nothing. "You're going to have to try better than that." Kyo taunted.
Yuya was up on her feet pushing back Kyo when the two had a little place. "Kyo that's enough! You're only going to get yourself into more trouble!" She pushed herself between the officer and Kyo, now being the one to hold them both apart.
At that, Kyo stopped. He did not seem happy when he looked down at her. Turning around Yuya checked to see that the office was okay, reaching out to steady him a little.
The officer grabbed hold of her arm quickly and tugged her forwards to put handcuffs on her so quickly that it left her in a momentary daze. "You two are both under arrest." He snapped, pushing her into the car a little too forcefully for her liking, and Kyo's too as it would happen. "Let go you bastard. You're hurting her."
Yuya now sat in the back of the police car a little shocked. While Kyo was clearly pissed, he complied and got into the back of the car a few minutes later. He sat there with his legs spread widely that his knee touched hers for a moments before she shifted closer to the window.
What had she done?
Yuya Shiina. Sister of the towns beloved Nozomu and Sakuya Shiina.
In fact the whole Shiina family was highly respected as law abiding citizens that would always involve themselves eagerly into the community.
And here was the youngest Shiina getting herself carted off towards a criminal record.
She'd never work again in the town. Everyone would know! Her siblings would be so disappointed! Yuya would have to move to the next town over to escape the stigma.
No! The next town over was not enough. The stigma would follow her there. Three towns over… maybe five.
Misery was consuming her, drowning her… there was no escape…
Her phone gave three little chirps, sounding vaguely like a bird and too cheerful for her current mood.
Kyo looked down beside her curiously at the sound. Still in a miserable mood, Yuya pulled out her mobile to see she had a message from her brother.
Her stomach dropped ten floors at the thought of her brother. How would he respond when he had to come pick her up from the police station? Forget about what the town thought, her brother would be so disappointed. If there was one thing that upset her more than anything, it was the thought of letting her big brother down. Everything else she could endure, but that. Kill her, it would hurt less!
Yuya could never do that to him! This wasn't her fault, surely he would understand and forgive her? Except this was all her fault, if only she had been a little less bitter then she wouldn't have gotten both herself and Kyo into trouble.
Yuya, were understaffed at the hospital at the moment so I'm having to take overtime. Won't be back till tomorrow. I'll make pancakes in the morning to say sorry xx
She read it twice just to make sure that she hadn't imagine it. Then when she was fully certain that she had read it correctly relief flooded her in that moment.
This was perfect!
Well, not that her brother was having to take overtime at the hospital. He did that way too often that it maddened Yuya. He wasn't invincible, he could succumb to exhaustion like anyone else.
But it was brilliant because she wouldn't have to tell him! No one would have to know!
Her life as a respectable person could continue.
Unlocking her phone it gave a loud sound, and Yuya began quickly typing a response when the officer in the front yelled at her to hand over her phone. "I just need to message my brother."
"Hand the phone over now!"
"Sorry." She quickly yelped when the man shouted at her so angrily and she near threw her phone through the bars separating the back from the front seats. Besides her Kyo glared darkly at the officer while sparing a brief glance at Yuya, taking in her frazzled appearance.
That left her a little rattled, but not unnerved entirely. Yuya could handle twenty four hours in jail. She was nineteen now, so they didn't have to call a legal guardian or anything.
Twenty four hours and they would have to release her, maybe even earlier is she behaves well. Yuya was sure that was how it all worked, that's exactly what it was like on the tv…
More importantly, her brother would never hear anything about it!
Suddenly getting arrested wasn't going to be that big of a deal.
She could do this, right? One night… what could possibly go wrong?
