Author's Note: Sorry for the delay of updating the story on the expected weekend but I have some errands to do and I have technical difficulties over my laptop. Sorry again and here is the chapter.

Chapter 7

Let's Play Some Games

It's been a month since what happened. Alice can't help but feel a little comfortable blending and living this life after that. Like she could feel the belonging around the bad guys around her. Dan took care of her needs and well on the other side, Shun keeps on barking out orders out of her like washing clothes, cleaning the dishes, you name it.

"Uhmmm…what's this all about?" Alice asked to Shun who reluctantly pass or throw her another pair of bathing suit for her size.

"You are going to join us in our little pool party…"

"But I thought I'm a maid here…."

"Change of plans. Go to my dressing room now and pick your like." said Shun and left his room without looking at her back.

On the other hand, Alice can't help but giggle in delight as she is about to experience some R&R for awhile. She never had quite a chance ever since her role was quite strict to her. She went to the dressing room and pick between three bathing suits whom she think is suited for her.

*How did Shun know my size anyway?* She thought and just shrug seeing no line of thoughts connecting even she thinks Shun is one of those pervert men who would know the exact sizes of their 'toys' and 'entertainment'.

"Ahh, nothing but a deep in the waters for a hot afternoon." Dan announce and dive in by the pool.

After a few seconds, Dan resurfaced and exhales, shaking his wet hair and wave to the girls who are just laying in their folded chairs with their sunglasses reflecting the sun's ray.

"Should we join him Mira?" asked Julie as she was about to reach her sun cream beside the table in between them.

"Should we?" asked Mira, bored by their conversation they are having. They much prefer stay in their shades and relax their backs anyway.

"Ladies! Come on! You'll get your skin dry anyways…Oh wait, your faces look like they are needed some makeover due to the heat of the desert huh!" shout Dan and lay his body and swam backwards.

"Should we?" asked Julie, copying her partner's question.

In a few minutes, Shun came in the scene and went to his private spa room just by the pool area.

He bathed himself with the aromatic green waters with a towel put on top of the head.

Back at Shun's private bedroom

"Arf!" "Arf!" "Arf!" barked the puppy again at her.

"I don't know Spot, This is the first time I wear something like this. Is it bad?"

Then someone knocked on the door. Alice quickly grabbed her bath robe found at Shun's bed and covered it in her body and opens it seeing the butler again.

"Oh Robin…"

"The Criminal called me to ask if you are ready…" said the butler looking at her now revealing figure.

"Uhmm, yeah I'll be right there."

"Good and Alice…"

"Y-Yes..?" she asked turning around to face him.

"N-Nothing…Just Jake called me to say his greetings and told me to say to you to meet him in the usual." said Robin lowering his head to hide his blush. Alice must have sensed the butler's aura and smiled softly.

"Oh okay. Tell him that I said hi and I'll see him there." And went down to the marble staircase followed by the puppy.

As Alice marched her way to the swimming pool area, Two reluctant girls just came over her view and squealed in delight.

"About time too!" said Julie and drag the dense Alice to their place and forcefully sit her in one of the folding chairs.

Mira snapped her fingers and three servers have arranged their beverages and diet snacks in front of them.

"Make yourself at home Alice." said Julie while snuggling the white brown spotted puppy in her arms much to the puppy's whimper of protests.

"Uhh…where's Shun?"

"Oh you know, getting some fresh start at his private spa before dipping in this pool and all. He'll be back eventually."

As just as about an hour later. Shun went out of his spa room and from Alice's peripheral sight, He is just a meters away from them.

"Mira…"

"Yeah, I know…" and the two girls excused themselves saying that they have to go take a shower leaving Alice with Dan still focusing his antics of showing off with his swimming skills in the pool.

Shun look at Alice and an evil thought was forming on his mind.

From the distance, Alice could tell that something was up, like Shun was cooking something delightfully evil to make her embarrass or hurt all over again. Well, heck, she is just a commoner, a personal maid or slave or whatever Shun would call it anytime.

"Come here!" Shun warned as he was launching Alice who is still sitting at her seat.

"Eek!" and she jump on her seat as he was about to be hold by her wrists. Then she runs away from Shun as fast as she can.

Aside from Dan who was leaning his jaw on the pool's ground tiles, He cannot find itself to hesitate to laugh hysterically as he watch the two running around in circles around the pool. He can't believe it itself, The Criminal, the most merciless and evil human being among the history of their organization and feared by the Government and Embassies of the Country Wardington and Bayview is now playing a tag with a girl whom her innocence is 100% clear and dense to be sometimes.

For the first time, Dan can't help but to thank the girl to make Shun have a 'normal' life as a guy sometimes, childish he knows.

Too bad that Alice made a wrong turn of deciding to head back to the right side, away from the pool area because Shun anticipated it and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Wah! Shun! Put me down!" cried Alice in plea much to Shun's arrogance. Alice hadn't got the slightest clue what will happen next until.

"No! Shun! I-I can't!"

"Hehehe, whether you like it or not, You're going to swim with me." He said huskily in her right ear and tried to nibble it which made Alice blushed a bit.

"But, I…I don't swim…" she continued but when

"Wah!" shout Alice as Shun let go of her making a huge splash making an impact that Alice have to wave her both arms frantically, scared to be drown.

In a flash, Dan used his floating balloon bed to recompose Alice's drowning state with Alice still gasping for more air. Dan turned around seeing Shun still clutching his tummy, cannot contain his laughter any longer too.

Dan arched his eyebrow and shook his head in dismay as he push the balloon bed with Alice riding on it.

From afar the pool area, the two girls just look at the three.

That's when Mira formulated another plan on her mind.

"Something to share Belle?" asked Julie as she was preparing her another batch of clothes getting ready for an adventure at the pool.

"I think Mr. Criminal wants to play his little games with our gal…" said Mira caressing her jaw using her right thumb.

"Huh, never in my entire life would see the day someone will actually make Shun pay all of his attention to anyone huh Belle…" said Julie as she was about to go out to her room

Name: Mira Clay a.k.a Belle

Position: Operation Team Leader

Rank: Unknown

Specialties: The one who is responsible of taking and observing the members of the organization and also the one handling various weapons to their allies. She is also the so called subordinate of the Reconnaissance Leader Trace or Ace that will take form his blueprints and plans to make their plans take action smoothly.

"Hold your nails sister…" said Mira raising her hand, still looking at the pool area. She doesn't have the 20/20 sight overall but she could clearly see Dan teaching Alice some basic swimming techniques with Shun glaring at them back.

Mira heaved a sighed and mess her hair in frustration.

"Julie….DON'T TAKE MY WORD LITERALLY YOU KNOW!"

"Hey! You never even mention that in a metaphorical sense if you flashback…"

*FLASHBACK*

"Start the flashback or else I'll rip your head off!" shout Mira back

*FLASHBACK ENDED*

"That's better, Julie…I think it's time to start to play our own version of games with our special Criminal."

"Okay, okay. I get it Mira, don't do it like you're in a real theater or something." said Julie and rolled her eyes out.

Mira rolled her eyes out too and put on her communicating earpiece.

"Yes?"

"I have an urgent request. May I?"

"Certainly madam"

[May 10, 2012; Thursday Morning; Underground Base 1]

"This is the training area, You could say we put a lot of pressure decorating and renovating the place last year…" said Mira then showing Alice a pair of rifles and machine guns found in their crates.

And as for Mira, she planned for her 'little' yet 'devious' plan for having Shun a little excitement treat and Alice is one great idea for her to make it work.

She was touring Alice to some areas unknown to her much to the nun's disagreement. Knowing Alice, she would eventually faint or get a trauma after seeing Shun's men firing varied shots from their assigned targets with a picture of a person on it.

The area is quite dim yet every step they take, they could hear a clank echoing the place.

Then, they went to another room.

"This is the theater room. Julie and I take our time to watch our opera shows on it…" and closed the two big doors behind her. After few minutes, she showed her the games room.

"The entertainment crib. If you have any leisure time with you, hoop up some shoots at our basketball court, pin the bowling room and take a smack at our table tennis court, we have the lawn tennis area but we put it up at the ground floor. To take a quick detour, take our personal slide here at our secret compartment." state Mira turning the turntable couch showing a red slide.

Indeed this was the first time Alice had discovered something interesting and cool at the same time. Well, maybe….

Meanwhile

"LET ME OUT OF HERE!" shout Shun as he attempt multiple times to break free from his personal prison a.k.a the control room a.k.a the security areas with many screens and cctv cameras to watch every of his men's activities on every part of the house.

On the other hand, Dan was still holding his tummy from too much laughter since Julie specifically told him to lock Shun in the control room and asked him to watch their favorite channel, happens to be Mira touring Alice around the mansion, including Shun's secret and magical place.

Well for starters, FORCE Shun would be a better term to use rather than pleading.

"I SWEAR, IF YOU STEP YOUR DIRTY FOOT ON MY !"

Far away from the garden area,

"This is Shun's magical palace…." said Mira dramatically and twirl her arms to add the drama showing Alice a very old…tree house.

"Wow….Shun owns this place too?" asked Alice as she followed Mira who was gently touching the branches.

"Correction, Shun owned this place." Mira said saying the past tense.

"Happens that Dan eventually invade his fortress of manly hood and awesomeness." said Mira with Alice scanning around the area.

The tree house is a big one consist of a mini living room with a fridge and a large 14 inches flat screen television and on the other end of the area is an antique telescope.

"Oh….cool" remarked Alice making Mira shook her head in disbelief.

"I say childish. Eventually Dan attempt to blackmail him to expose this tree house to his men if Shun doesn't give Dan what he wants…."

"And that is?"

"Later I'll show you…."

Julie was trying her best to tied Shun in his large couch after he was straggling Dan who was trying his best to make sure Shun isn't going anywhere.

"Danma! Anna! Why on hell would you force me to watch Mira guiding Alice to MY MANSION!" Shun shout with their alias names covered their identities.

Julie and Dan just shrugged in response until Mira spoke up through his communicating device.

"Come on Shun, the girl needs to learn how to adapt to her surroundings…." said Mira communicatory.

"LEARN MY BUTT! YOU COULD HAVE INFORM ME!"

"And what? Decline our offer?"

"She is on guard people! How would…"

"I ask one of your men to have me and Alice a full access around your house in exchange for cash."

It's not like the men chose riches over loyalty to their boss. It's just Mira death glares make them do so.

Shun heaved a very deep sigh in frustration and closed his eyes before he continue.

"Are you done touring her?"

"Not yet…I still have one more place I need her to see…." and chuckles dryly. Shun flinched and open his eyes in saucers. Almost Mira had showed Alice the places around and based by his point of view, only one place was left unknown to Alice.

"MIRA! Don't do it! Please I beg of you!"

"The girl need to learn the hard way Shun." compliment Dan and smirk at him, same goes to Julie.

"But, this is a storage room…" said Alice as she followed Mira to a very dark place. Mira was holding Alice hand to prevent her from tripping over metals and pipes.

"True, this is where we occupy and materialized our secret weapons thanks to our ranked blacksmiths and all…but this is not we are aiming for…" said Mira shoving the boxes, not caring if there are messed up in the ground afterwards.

"A door?" asked Alice looking the silver metal door.

Then Mira knocked the door with different pattern style indicating a code or message under it.

The door opens.

"Close your eyes." whisper Mira in which the girl nodded.

"No..." Shun murmur not believing his eyes.

"Boo!"

"GAH! Daaaaaaaaan Kuuuuuussssooo!" so much trembling Shun Kazami started to escape from the tied ropes and attempt to scratch Dan's pouting lips who was mocking at him back.

"Oh poor you, so hopeless from your comfortable couch, might need a longer sofa now Criminal?"

"SCREW THE TWO OF YOU! DEATH! DEATH SENTENCE, THE BOTH OF YOU!"

"Relax Criminal…" said Julie still looking at one particular monitor screen. Dan and Shun turn their heads in front view seeing the silver haired girl totally enjoying the view much to Shun's raging mode….and horror.

"Uh…I'm not sure If I could drink this…." said Alice holding a mug of personalized beer made by the bartender.

Indeed this is what Shun feared the most, having the thought of Alice GOING TO THEIR PRIVATE BAR was a BAD, BAD, IDEA because…well first she's a nun, an almost innocent and the dense person he ever met. Second, well he thinks there's a law prohibiting to NOT LET A NUN DRINK SOMETHING INTOXICATING LIKE BEERS, TEQUILLAS, WINES, ETC. Third….well let's just say that some guys inside can have a wild side when it comes to aching hormones when meeting someone like a nun, a child at a place like this. If you didn't hear the news, Almost 95 percentage of men have a huge interest over the nun and things couldn't got any better.

"WAAAAHH! PLEASE LET ME GO!" For the first time in his life, The Criminal is pleading and begging for mercy. Much to Dan's astonishment and his childish acts, He was videotaping Shun who is still tied up in his current situation.

"Shun, Shun, Shun, when will you ever learn? It's just Alice, the girl need to know what it feels o be wild and free from your harshness of bringing her pressure." said Julie still watching the screen as Mira is giving Alice a drink.

After a few minutes, Dan stop recording and went to Julie to show the video of Shun crying like a big baby who lost his candy from a 98 year old grandpa.

Julie took Dan's cam recorder and take the video's preview.

"Hmm not bad…but a perfect candidate for our future blackmailing eh…..Huh?"

Dan also turn behind seeing an empty couch with a rope on it.

"Where did he go?"

The entrance was slammed and hit bull's-eye to the bouncers badly as one particular and VERY ANGRY mafia boss just entered the scene with glaring eyes of passion and lust…oh wait angst and disappointment in his eyes. Sorry about that.

The music stop playing and almost the men with their 'partners' stop on what they are doing as they watch their boss marched its way to the bar.

Mira was looking from afar and raise her hands in surrender as Shun, not glancing Mira back, grab Alice's left arm and dragged her out of the place.

"Shun….you're hurting me…." She plead at last for Shun's grip cause his fingers dig her inner flesh on her arm making her whimper and cried a little.

At last, they went to Shun's private place a.k.a his master bedroom, well isn't this quite a loop playback….the story ends at Shun's private bedroom huh? I do wonder if there will do something romantic and intimate on what they called to be green minded to be.

"Shun….I'm sorry…"

"You always have a way to give me a heart attack, Alice." True to himself, I mean when did Shun learned to have a heart and conscience to a person like her?

"Sorry…" she apologized again.

After a consoling dinner, it's time to sleep.

"Come here…" motioned Shun to Alice giving her some space in his bed. Alice nodded and lay right beside him.

When fatigue and overreactions came to their minds, both of them went asleep.

What they didn't know was Shun subconsciously wrapping Alice's little waist as Alice's head was laid on his chest. Comfortable it seems as they're beating of hearts and their soft rhythm of exchanging breaths gave their way in.

"Hmmm, she smells…..nice…" Shun murmured as he smelled the shampoo's faint scent from her orange and silky hair.

"Shun…." yawned Alice as she snuggled closer to him.

"Trace, you there?"

"I'm having an important meeting with the mobster leader here at France Danma, this better be good."

"Can I have my prize now?" asked Dan excitedly which made Ace shook his head.

"If this is about our deal of the Criminal and Alice's situation…."

"I ALREADY WON DUDE! The Criminal's stares and way too over protectiveness to Alice gave a huge impression to us, even his subordinates tells and rumored this to the entire organization…"

"Huh, a month has passed huh….." said Ace blankly and an empty smile shine upon his face.

"Seems that way…oh! Trace, Belle's here at the mansion…."

"I see…." and somehow Ace smile grew wider just the mention of his "partner in crime's" alias.

"Heh….."

"What are you bluffing there…?" asked the Butler Robin to his partner.

"Nothing, just we found out there are girls in that Criminal's Organization…."

"They look weak and fragile, but they gained a high impression overall…be careful despite their deceiving images." said Butler Robin and continued.

"Besides…we're here for a reason…..to put that pathetic Criminal down."

"I wonder if our other partner is doing well…."

"Don't doubt our partner's ability, Raj…." said Butler Robin and a smirk was plastered on his face. Then, he gave a suspicious suitcase to his comrade.

"Just as we expect…..this plan will go smoothly afterall …." said Robin's partner as he opened and examined the contents of the briefcase, with a menacing smirk written on his face.

Author's Note:

As you can see from the last scene, Robin is a head butler to the Shun's mansion at the same time, the one responsible for the signal jamming incident of Shun's intercom conference to his branches across Bayview and Wardington. Just trivial facts to the story.

I apologize if there are grammatical errors and mistakes. I'm just not good at pointing right's and wrong's.

Anywhoo, thank you guys for reading! For the reviewers.

[Maudy! Sweetheart! Been awhile neh? The part when Shun need some advices from a dummy guide was something for me to share actually, hey?

Nah, just kidding but I still kind of scared to think or imagine you're my stalker...you know...following my moves and all...that's ninja like too. Anywho, Shun reading a dummy guide for courting girls is a natural thing...oh screw that...I almost laugh to my expense while rereading the said chapter. It just occur to me anyway, well reading a dummy guide too. Oh well thank you and take care okay?

Lame suspense story I know…I really suck at these things .…and I didn't have the time to review some stories….waah! Reviewer of what I be, I apologize if there wouldn't time for me to review…well first. I'm handling my issues of going to college and secondly, I'm too lazy to read stories. Same goes for writing. I just have to prioritize my work at home. Forgive me but seriously, I may be a secret reader and I couldn't help but appreciate the work and effort writing your stories! Now I'm jealous to think that your stories are better than mine. I suck to my first chapters.

Have a good life and pray to God always!

Until then (habit line)
