BLADE III

It was Sunday morning. I looked at my Puppy clock on my night table beside my bed.

Exactly 11:30 was it as I sat up from my bed. My TV was on and showed the Sunday morning cartoons.

The thin cloth of my curtains swayed calmly as wind came in through my open window.

"Good night and have bloody dreams… ushishishi"

Weird, I could have sworn that my window was close as I fell asleep last night. But then again, I always knew I had a wild imagination, in more ways than one. I yawned and got up to do my morning routine.

Opening my door a flash of black rushed passed me.

"Sorry Mizuki, I'm late for my date~!" Emi said and rushed down the stairs. A date, at this time? I looked at her with a slight frown. She is off to a date and I just woke up, wow, were we really sisters? A strand of hair fell into my face and I blew it away.

Murmuring to myself how loveless I was, I entered the bathroom. Almost everything was black or white. A big mirror hung above the sinks. I knew Emi had overslept just looking at how scattered her makeup and tooth paste was.

"That girl… seriously… I mean what's the big deal? He loves her with or without make up." I said to myself and took my toothbrush in my hand. My left hand ran though my messed up hair before grabbing the toothpaste. It was in a white, blue and red combination of colors. Odd was it not? After Scrubbing my set of teeth clean I exited the bathroom and went back into my sanctuary, my room.

Dragging my feet over the carpet floor I collapse back in my bed. As you can tell, I'm not a morning person, and I will never be one. I had to be at Black Cats at around 2-3 pm. Still a little time for some ice cream and good anime…

"Mizuki!!!"

Or maybe not… I pushed myself of my bed and shouted back to my mother

"What?"

"Would you come down?" She yelled. I could, but I didn't want to.

"Why?" I asked.

"Would you just come down?" She asked. I frowned and got up. She wanted something from me, why couldn't she come to me then?

"Yes?" I looked at my mother who sat at the Dinner table and held her cup of coffee in her left hand.

"I have some problems with my Computer could you check it later on?" She asked. I sat on the sofa and looked at the turned off TV.

"I could, if you would tell me what exactly the problem is." There was a moment of silence and I turned to the woman.

"You will see once you turn on the Computer." She said and got up. I watched how her elegant figure almost glided over the floor.

What would I offer to be as lady like and elegant as my mother? I heard a door close and presumed that she had disappeared in her little home office, probably to read her 8th book this month.

In it was a mini library! No joke. The Shelves that went from bottom to the ceiling were filled with books.

Some were so old, you thought they would turn into dust if you breathe against them! I got up to make myself breakfast.

Breakfast cereal, hot chocolate and a little bit of ice cream. That was my breakfast for today, and I was happy for it. I sat on my usual place on the table, at the left side. While eating I remembered that my TV was still on. But if my TV was on, and the whole thing last night was a dream… then… Was it not a dream?

Or did mother turn on the TV as he got into my room this morning to get my dirty laundry? But why would he turn on the TV for that?

My head started hurting and I decided not to think about it. After finishing breakfast I went up the stars again, did I mention that I hated stairs? If not, then I did now. Once I was back in my room I turned off my TV and glanced at the open math book on the table, mood meter just dropped by 99.99%. Not only did I have math homework waiting for me, but in 4 days, on Thursday, I had a Test in the subject that I hate most!

"Oh how I wished to have a vicious dog to eat you up." I told the book. And now I was talking to my math book, again.

Yes, again…

I always did that, so it knew how much I hated it! I would much rather draw some of my favorite anime characters or read a manga, but no, math has to ruin my perfect world.

"I'll do you later..." I murmured and glared once more into its direction. The house was silent since Emi was out. Normally you could hear her music or hear how she laughs on the phone.

I gently closed the door and looked out the window. I see could the street before our house from here. It was very silent today. You might even call it boring. I wondered if the whole day was going to be like this, if it was, I might just think that quiz shows aren't that boring after all. Sighting I closed the window and looked at the clock once more. It was little past 12 now.

"I'm going to work Mizuki!" Called mother from the floor below. I rushed down the stairs to see her standing on the door.

"Bye mom…" I said with a smile which she returned.

"Be a good girl, till later, and love you." She said.

"Love you to mother." I said as she pulled open our door. "Remember to check my computer." She said before closing the door. I sighted and turned to look what exactly her problem was with the PC. I heard the car of my mom start up and drive past our house. Opening the white door to mother's home office I entered the hideout of mothers 3 year old Computer.

"Let's see what the problem is." I murmured to myself and started up the Technical device. Like I thought, before mother had left she had read a book. It still lay on the small table beside her lather love chair.

I turned my attention back to the computer. Of the 3 woman that live in this house, I was our computer expert. I wouldn't say I was a genius in this field. I just knew more than mother and my sister. See? Another positive point for me and my brain!

"So far, so good." I said and stood before the computer as it started up. I gave in her password and was satisfied as it continued normally. But then a high pitched Alarm like tone went off. "What the?" I backed away from the computer as it begun to shake.

"Oh no! Don't you dare!" I screamed as the screen turned black and a bunch of numbers appeared in it.

Soon smoke came and made the room darker than usual. I rushed to the nearest window and opened it. I leaned out of it and gasped for air. "I hate mother's computer!" I shouted.

"What's wrong Mizuki? And what's with the smoke? Have you tried to cook again?" Our neighbor's child said. I glared at the 9 year old boy.

"No, and my cooking skills are just fine, thank you very much…" I said and covered my mouth and nose with my shirt before going through the smoke again. The beeping finally stopped and the Computer stood there on the desk, still and, well, ruined.

"Mother is going to kill me later on… At least I get to tell Aki to come to my funeral later on." I murmured and hoped the smoke wouldn't damage any of the books mother had in here, cause then, I would really be dead meat. The Fire alarm in our house went on and the sprinkler when on suddendly. "Oh no no no! Stop! The books!" I screamed as I ran around in circles almost pulling out my hair.

"Stop!" I shouted and hoped the sprinklers would listen. But of course they didn't. I took as many books in my hand and rushed out the room with them. This process continued a few times till I was out of breath.

I rushed out the room once more and looked for a way to stop the sprinkler. The front door suddenly broke down and a man from the fire department stood there. I stared at him and blinked.

"Can I do something for you?" I asked. The man lifted his fire mask and looked at me and then at the room where slowly water came out.

"Miss?" He said looking between me and Mothers now, soaked Office. Well, at least they have fast service…

"Like I said, I did nothing! I only did what you told me to and that was checking your computer…" I said with crossed arms. My mother was called to the police station after the little shower I had in mother's office, and she was furious.

"All the books! Do you know how expensive some of them where?" She asked a raised her voice. Oh I know how she felt, If my mangas where being soaked I'd be just as angry, but still!

"Ok ok, it's my entire fault. Lock me up in my room forever and were quit ok?" I said and murmured under my breath

"It's not like you can take more away from me…" "Excuse me?" she asked with raised eyebrows.

"Nothing dear mother…" I said with a fake smile. How come this was all my fault! Wasn't she the one who said I was supposed to check on her computer? She could have called up a professional to check it, but no! Something told me it was not my lucky day. And why did I have the feeling someone was secretly laughing at me?

Ushishishi

After an hour of discussion and glares of my mother I was finally allowed to go to work.

I kept my eyes on the ground as I walked into the alley. I felt guilty, yes, but it was not completely my fault, right?

"Aki, I'm here, sorry that I'm late." I apologized opening the old door.

"Mizuki, you're here… Where have you been? I was about to call the police…" He said and walked over to me. I looked at him.

"I just come from there…" at this reply he looked at my worriedly.

"I gave mother's computer a check up, and it went POOFFF and that caused mothers office to take a blown out shower that would last for the next century." I explained as I walked behind the counter and placed my jacket and my bag behind it.

"I see, sounds interesting." Aki commend.

"I agree, just like mothers endless blabbering about responsibility and how I was supposed to survive on my own." Aki came to me and looked at me. I felt bad for making him worry and forced a smile up.

"But don't worry! Is there something you would like me to do today?" I asked.

"Yes, could you get me a piece of cake from the bakery a few streets from here?" he asked kindly.

"The new one? Sure why not?" I smiled. Somehow he always knew what I needed. Like right now, a little time for myself. But before I left. I had to ask a question, a question that had bothered me since yesterday.

"Aki, please answer this question, who was the boy with the blond hair and the shiny tiara? And what did you mean 'stay away from him'?" Aki struggled with himself a little before starting

"You see…"

"M-Mafia?!?" I asked and stared at him. "But he's not much older than me!" Aki nod and looked away as if he was ashamed of something. "I see, so that's why..." I looked at Aki. I was thankful he told me, not it made more sense. I smiled and said, "I'm off to get your cake then... The usual?" I asked as I turned back to him already standing by the door.

With a nod and a warm smile he confirmed my thought and I dashed off. The usually was strawberry cake.

Aki loved those and I was just hoping they had one of those. My thoughts then went back to the boy. He was really in the mafia…

How odd, I only knew the mafia from video games and movies. But now I could go around and tell people that I meet a real mafia guy. Somewhere I as proud of myself, it's not everyday people get to meet mafia people and survive, right? Soon a Singe came into my view. 'Rosa café' said the singe with golden letters. From that I could tell, it was new, obviously, and it must be expensive.

That was when I remembered that I didn't take money from Aki to pay the cake, but I would just have to pay it with my own money for now. The door to enter the café was placed on the corner. Beside each door flowers and plants stood. I heard bells as I pushed open the glass door. Tables and Seats where in partner look, on top of the tables were the menus and a little flower vases.

A few costumers looked at me shortly before returning to mind their own business. I walked over to where the store presents their cake on display. Chocolate cake, strawberry cake, Muffins, Colorful donuts, brownies, everything! I was mentally drooling over all that delicious food. It all looked so nice decorated and tasty!

"Need help?" Asked someone. I looked up and faced a Blond boy with pretty blue eyes. The way he leaned onto the counter and placed his head in his palm made him seem either Carefree, or Flirty.

"What are you doing here?" I asked the boy.

"Hello to you to Mizuki." The Boy said and chuckled lightly.

It made me blush slightly and look away. That boy was Rei, yes, the Rei was here, and just a few foot's away from me!

"Not to sound rude or anything, but what are you doing in a place like this?" I asked and tilted my head to the side.

"My brother owns the shop and asked me to help out a little…" Was all he said and smirked at me. Why did he smirk? Was something in my face?

"So why are you here, Mi-zu-ki~" I blushed even more, stupid him!

"I was just getting some cake for Aki…" I murmured and looked at the cakes.

"Oh, the old men by the weapon shop, right? He's cool…" He said and walked over to the Cakes.

"So what does he want?" He asked and looked up to me. Rei wore a blue sweeter with a black skull on the front. Several necklaces hung around his neck and so did bracelets around his wrist. I liked his style. It reminded me of a tiara…. How? I have no idea… A tiara was all that popped into my mind, a shiny one at that.

"He wanted strawberry…" I replied and looked at one of many different decorated strawberry cakes.

"Say, do you like eating cakes?" Rei asked as he slid the glass aside to get the cake out.

"Once in a while there pretty good." I said and smiled.

"But ice cream is going to be at your top list forever… right?" Rei said and laughed. I grinned sheepishly, he knew me better than I thought. Rei sliced the cake into pieces and placed 2 pieces on a Paper plate which he placed in a small cardboard box and shoved it across the counter to me.

"Here you go." I moved my hand to my wallet and got it out. "So, how much do I get to pay for this nice piece of cake?" I asked.

"Nothing..." I blinked at him.

"What do you mean nothing?" Was this somehow a promo or perhaps a bonus as such?

"Take it, it goes on me…" He said and turned to leave though a door behind him. Before he disappeared he turned and gave me a thumb up and winked. "Don't get fat eating too much. You won't be cute anymore…"

I stood there dumb folded. Wallet in my hand, standing still and cake before me. I stood like that… for… well… a while.

"Miss, I want to get cake to, so if you are finish, could you please move?" Snapped a voice. I turned around and apologized with a bright red face. I grabbed the White box with the label of the shop on it and went out.

That Rei can really be…. Be a pckle in the ocean!

I finally reached the Black Cats and placed a smile on. I was sure Aki would like the cake. I wanted to surprise him and took the way to the back door. It was open. Aki had it always open during nice warm spring days as such. I stepped in and heard a few Voices.

"If you don't give the money back and if you don't get the guns and knives done, you will regret it…"

"I'm already working on it… I promise to have them done by the end of the month."

"You better do, or we would have to kill you, just like your pathetic wife."

"…."

"You should learn to pay respect to the mafia more old bag…"

"I don't even think he's worth killing, He's probably going to die by the end of the week. I just mean look how old he is and how crocked he walks… big deal"

I heard them laugh as they exited the shop though the squeaking front door. My back was pressed against a wall.

The mafia?

They wanted to kill Aki?

But what for?

Then something appeared in my mind. It was mental picture of a blond boy with a tiara. That's right. He's in the mafia to… He's a bad person to if they treat Aki like that. And what did they mean by 'kill you, just like your pathetic wife'?

D-did they kill Aki's wife?!?

I griped the Box in my hand tighter, but not too tight to squash the cake in it. I shut my eyes tightly.

That boy was nothing but bad news. He is one of them! Slowly hate build up inside me towards the tiara boy and the rest of the mafia.

How could they to that to Aki?

I heard a thud and snapped my eyes open. I rushed in to the shop and saw Aki Laying on the floor.

The box with cake fell to the ground.

"AKI!!!"
