Chapter 23: The Evil Victim of Love. Meeting a Purple Person.

Teto's POV

I woke up to see myself sitting in Akaito-nii's lap. We were in the car, with one of the people from our group driving the car.

"Mr. Driver! Where are we going?" I asked the man driving.

"Shh, you'll wake Meiko-sama and Akaito-sama. We're on the way home." the driver answered me and smiled.

I looked up to Meiko-nee and Akaito-nii who were sleeping. Meiko-nee's head was bobbing sideward to Akaito-nii's shoulder.

Teto-chan finds Meiko-nee and Akaito-nii adorable together! Teto-chan shall ship them!

I made Meiko-nee's head rest gently on Akaito-nii's shoulder. I grinned at the sight of my two precious people.

It's making me harder to tell them the truth. I can't tell them that I could remember, and I have to save Lady Pink nee-chan before the purply woman does anything bad to her.

Flashback, 2 months ago..

One day in the mansion, it was dawn and I suddenly woke up. When I went out, I passed by Nee-chan's room, and I caught Nee-chan talking to a purple haired woman. I stood by the door and eavesdropped on the conversation. Nee-chan had this scared tone of voice, something I heard for the first time.

"How long do you intend to make me wait, bitch?!" the woman said.

"I'm sorry! Please, just a little bit more! I'm going to conquer both families, I'll get them to kill themselves soon enough!" Nee-chan begged.

"Then go hurry up, you slow bitch! Or do you want me to send him farther away from you? Do you want to NOT see him again ever?"

"No! Please, not him! I'll do anything; just don't do anything to him! I'll do this job, but please keep your promise!"

"Whatever. Go get me the files that I came here for."

I peeked to see Nee-chan walking towards the second door that leads to the next room, and I saw the woman smirk.

I heard her mumble. "Love-crazed bitch. You won't get my son even if you died. What a puppet."

Oh no... Does this mean Nee-chan's efforts are futile? She won't get the man she wants?

I... have to save her.

End Flashback

Somehow... I have to tell Meiko-nee and Akaito-nii. But how?

We stop in front of the mansion, and driver nii-chan decided to wake up Meiko-nee ang Akaito-nii. Upon waking up, they blushed at their position.

"Teto-chan! Why didn't you wake us up?" Meiko-nee says, blushing in embarrassment.

I grinned at her. "Because Meiko-nee and Akaito-nii were too adorable, Teto didn't want to wake you up!"

Akaito-nii patted my head. "Don't tease your Meiko-nee too much. Come on, let's go inside the house."

The next day...

Rin's POV

I and Len were chatting as we walk to school. Later, Aunt Luka will talk to us. I need to act well.

On the way, we were blocked by some men in suits.

"Is there anything you might need, mister?" Len asked the man in front.

"Oh, you're students from Crypton, right? Could we ask for a favor?" the man asks.

"What are you talking about?" I ask. It feels suspicious, these men.

"We would like to scout you as actors for our movie. We are in desperate need for actors, particularly students."

"Sorry, but we have to decline." Len answers. The man's expression changed into an evil one.

"Well, if you don't want to agree..." He pulled me and had his arms around my neck. He's about to choke me!

Good thing I always have a screwdriver in my pocket for self-defense, I was about to pull it out until a man interrupted.

"What are you doing to my daughter?" the purple haired man asked.

The man who was about to choke me let me go and pushed me. I staggered but Len caught me before I could fall.

"Who are you?" the man who tried killing me asked the purple man in front of us.

"I'm the guardian of these kids. Now, I'm not allowing them to get into your dangerous business. Would you still be persistent?" the purple man warned.

"What if we still pushed our motive? We're just asking them to be actors." the man defended.

The purple man showed his camera to the man. "This will definitely reach the police. Are you still going to push it?"

The man had a terrified look on his face. "Fine. We're leaving." he said and left with his accomplices. I wonder; what was in the camera that terrified him?

"Are you alright?" the purple haired man asked me.

"We're okay. Thank you so much for your help, um... what's your name sir?" I thanked him and asked.

"I'm Gakupo Kamui. It's no problem, I was passing by."

"Oh, thank you for your help, Gakupo-san. Rin almost got hurt." Len said.

"I'm curious, what was on the camera?" I asked.

He showed me the camera. "This."

My eyes widened. It was what exactly happened, when the man grabbed me and almost choked me. How did he get a picture of it that fast?

"You're fast, Gakupo-san!" I said in amazement.

"Thank you for your compliment. I'm a photographer, actually. I happened to pass by and take a picture of the surroundings, but then this happened. I took the chance to take a photo." Gakupo explained.

"Wow, that's amazing! We're lucky to get to know you, Gakupo-san!" Len said. Gakupo laughed and patted his head.

"You should be weary of those kinds of people. They're going to trick you into something bad, I tell you. They're known to fool people as talent scouts but they'd be kidnapping you for a ransom."

"Thank you so much, we'll make sure to remember. What are you going to do with that photo?" I asked.

"I'm showing this to the police, of course. We can't have those criminals roaming free. I fooled them so that they're out of your way at least. The police would be chasing them soon." Gakupo grinned.

We laughed. "You're a sneaky one, Gakupo-san! But really, thank you!" I said and smiled. He patted my head.

"It's no big deal. Now, now, you might be late for school. It's nice meeting you lovebirds." he said as he showed us a photo of me and Len smiling at each other when we were walking. We blushed when we saw the photo. "I hope you don't mind me keeping this photo. See you next time!"

We nodded. When we looked back at him, Gakupo-san was already walking away. We called out and waved, "Thank you, Gakupo-san!" He faced us and waved at us with a smile before he walked away. We proceeded to walking towards school again.

A photographer. What an interesting person.
