Mai HiME
Lost & Found
Chapter IV
Notes:Azn Homie: A stalker, a pretty girl (let me know when you find out who the stalker is). A player, a nice girl (this is pretty obvious, but keep reading). Angelronin: Haruka isn't just a loud bimbo kind of persona she usually seen in many of the other fics, I like to make her into something different than her usual role. Spikegitta: Now where's the fun in that if we didn't have someone to make things hard for our couple? 'grins'… krugern: Me too, I wonder what would happen to them then. 'laughs' Yeah, but I think Fumi fit well with him because of her smooth and calming demeanor (and that scythe she got in the anime is pretty disturbing), I just can't see him with a drunken Midori (and she's better off with Yuko-sensei anyway).
"You live around here?" Yukino asked as she kept her eyes on the ground while they walked. "I move around a lot to have a place to call home." Haruka replied tighten her grip on the bag full of books. Silence engulfed them as Haruka flagged a taxi down, Yukino rarely drive at night due to Mikoto told her not to because there are dangerous drivers out at night more than daytime.
"So," Haruka paused as she walked Yukino up to her apartment. "Thank you for taking me home," Yukino said shyly as she took the bag full of books from the older woman. "Is there any chance of seeing you again?" Haruka asked in a very husky voice. Oh shit! Did I just hit on her?! What am I gonna do now? Haruka's mind raced as she realized what had already spewed out of her mouth. "I am off tomorrow, so we can meet up for lunch if you like." Yukino answered with a light blush spreading steadily across her feature. "I'll pick you up around eleven then," Haruka said as she took Yukino's free hand and place a kiss on it before rushing away.
"I think I just found out who my stalker is," Yukino murmured as she turned around to open the door to her place. But before she could, a strong arm snaked out and grabbed her mouth to keep her from screaming while the other arm wrapped around her torso to keep her from trying to break away. She was suffocating and soon her vision failed her, another man appeared and together they hauled the young doctor away into a van and sped off into the night.
The screeching tires got Haruka's attention, she run back to Yukino's front door only to see the bag on the floor with books lying all over. "Shit!" the blonde woman cursed as she tried to get a glimpse of the direction of the van was heading toward to. "The dock, those fuckers trying to extract money from the other girl I'm sure." Haruka murmured as she gathered the books and put it into the bag and placing it by the door before taking off. Pulling out a set of keys, Haruka rushed over to the Honda R1000 and raved the engine before chasing down the van that took her Yukino away.
They were taking in the sight on top of a hill when Mikoto's watch went off into a frenzy alarming beep. "This is not good," Mikoto said quietly as she looked at her watch. Pushing the surface of the watch away, revealed a another surface that looked like a radar underneath with the red dot blinking evenly as the beeping continued without missing a beat. "I guess there's someone out there wanting to ruin my moments with you," Mikoto got up and smiled charmingly down at Mai. "Let's rescue our damsel in distress before something horrible happened to her," the feral girl grinned as she helped Mai getting up.
One would have to agree that Mikoto can be a very psychotic driver if needed to, and this is an emergency case. Of course, she got a very special watch for Yukino just in case someone trying to kidnap her. This isn't the first time people tried to kidnap Yukino to extort monies from Minagi Mikoto, this happened quite often Mikoto ended up giving Yukino earrings and a watch that's bugged in case of another kidnap. Many people does such things because they mistook Yukino to be a member of the Minagi family or maybe Mikoto's lover when they decided to kidnap the young doctor.
The van stopped by the warehouse at the dock; one of the men climbed out of the vehicle and opened the door to get Yukino out. Another got out and they laughed gleefully thinking about how much money they would make now that they got their hostage, sadly their dream was short lived when a light popping sound was heard and one of them fall lifelessly onto the ground. Another popping sound and the remaining man slumped against the van before sliding down leaving blood smeared because his head touched the van.
"You don't touch something that belongs to Haruka," the blonde said putting her gun away before kicking the body away from the opened door. "Is that something a stalker like you should be saying?" Mikoto asked from behind Haruka. Whirled around, Haruka got her gun and pointed directly at Mikoto, but the feral girl didn't even flinch at the sight of it. Though the girl sitting in the sport car behind her looked terrified, but Mai didn't scream or even made a sound about the situation in front of her.
"Don't think I don't know about you, Suzushiro-san. I don't mind about what you do, but be sure not to let Yukino-chan know about it. If you think about courting her, I'm all for it. But if you ever hurt her in anyway, you can rest assure that I will personally hunt you down and put a bullet in your head without a second thought." Mikoto said sternly. Her golden eyes looked like it's glowing, even though the lights from the car was behind her shadowing her face but her eyes shone still. "Fair enough," Haruka nodded after a long moment of thinking. She slowly withdraw her gun and put it away, Mikoto stepped forward and peek into the van seeing how Yukino was still out of it.
"I'm sure you're not thinking of taking her home on that motorcycle when she's still out like that," Mikoto spoke. "I can take the van," Haruka replied grumpily. "Aren't you being messy, that's crime scene evident which could tied you into murdering them." Mikoto nodded at the bodies. "Take my car; she's strong enough to ride with me. There's a spare key on the keychain to Yukino's place, stay with her for the night. Don't worry about this," Mikoto padded Haruka lightly as she turned around and headed back to her car. After a few words were exchanged between her and the other woman in the car, the woman got out and followed Mikoto back.
Haruka leaned in and picked up the young doctor with ease, "Thanks." She walked pass Mikoto and the other woman, who seemed to be pretty shaken up at the scene as she was clearly clutched tightly onto the feral girl's arm. "We'll talk more tomorrow," Mikoto replied. She gives Mai's hand a light squeeze for reassurance about the situation, but Mai hid her face on Mikoto's shoulder so that she wouldn't have to see the bodies or the blood. The feral girl instructed the busty woman to wait for her by the motorcycle as she cleaned up the mess, and cleaning up by the mean of dumping the bodies along with the van into the ocean then yes Mikoto was doing a very good job.
"So much for some fresh air," Mikoto smiled warmly at the stiffened Mai. "I'm sorry if all that scared Mai," the feral girl said softly. Mai could see the sincerity in those golden orbs, even though what Mikoto just did scared her beyond believe she still feel so damn safe and secured when the girl reached out and tuck away a strand of lose hair. Mai closed her eyes automatically when Mikoto leaned forward slightly, she was waiting for a magical moment but it never come only feeling something soft pressed against her forehead instead. "Mai can stay at my place tonight, it's getting late and I don't want to drive back to the clinic since it's farther than my house. Besides, I wouldn't want Mai to catch a cold out here," Mikoto whispered into Mai's hair after she placed a chase kiss on the woman's forehead.
Author's Notes: And so another chapter is done! Yes, this one is very short compared to the others… But my boss drove me over the brink of my insanity and pulled me back when he said I could get back to my cubicle. Besides, I also wanted to save the best part for next chapter, hopefully no more dead people but nothing is for sure until I start typing it down. Enjoy!!
