-Dear I wanted to say I l l l loved what you did to me today - she stated, sighting completely relieved of having said that that was extremely special something I am sure I will never forget in my whole life -T That is great Akira-chan! I replied completely relieved as well, because even if I already felt something very special for the little nekomimi, I wasn t sure I was ready for that just yet; I fondled behind her ear saying where you able to make some of your biggest dreams come true?
-Yes! she replied with a broad smile things I would never imagined to be even possible to me happened today until this very exact moment - Akira then pointed to my chest and yawning asked as a last wish co could we sleep like this? It is j just so com fy -Of course you can - I replied as I watched Akira s eyes slowly close.
It didn t take more than a minute for her to begin purring while being on that position, sleeping peacefully over my chest; I closed my eyes in sequence thinking in resting a bit as well although it was really early yet, as I woke up very early to prepare the little one s breakfast; all the memories from this day began parading through my mind, each smile, each surprised face, each word, gesture and even physical and intimate contact of the last moments; at that exact instant I began thinking again I might be starting to love the little one I pondered in sequence but I won t rush things I will let them them flow in their own pace as they should falling asleep next.
I don t recall dreaming anything, I just realized that I had a very relaxing dream as I didn t for quite a while; I just opened my eyes when I heard the first morning birds singing, upon looking at the bed side clock, I saw it was half past six, Akira was sleeping peacefully beside me; that was when I almost had a heart attack when the phone beside me rang, I got it as quickly as possible and answered, to what I heard Catherine's voice:
-Richard my boy! It is so good you are already awakened! Enma is here and wishes to talk to you urgently!
-Damnation! I had completely forgotten about her! I exclaimed, having an idea serve me the breakfast in my meeting room and tell her I shall meet her there!
-Yes Richard! replied Catherine before hanging the call up.
I stood up quickly so as to go down as quick as possible to the meeting room, I took random clothing from inside my closet, I dressed up in a complete rush and did my morning hygiene in also a hurried way, praying for me not to have a bad breath problem that morning, I was wearing my shoes when Akira woke up as well and, rubbing her eyes with her small paws, she asked:
-What time is it dear, why did you wake up so early?
-Because Enma wants to have a serious talk with me I replied already standing up to go there for the talk you are free to do whatever you want until said otherwise, understood?
-Oh! Dea - Akira was saying, however I was already running through the corridor before I could her finishing what she had to say.
I ran through the corridors in the direction of my meetings room, upon arrival I opened the door and stumbled upon the kitsunemimi, that looked me in the eyes, then down and once again to my face, she then grinned and asked:
-Good morning Richard! she then neared me with slow steps as I can see my advices for yesterday were very useful , making that night one of those unforgettable ones, isn t it Superman?
-Y Yes! I replied blushing, after remembering what me and Akira did together b but why Superman?
-Well! replied Enma with a surprised face, pointing down he is the only person that uses his underwear over his pants.
That was when I looked to where Enma was pointing and effectively noticed my underwear was over my pants, in a moment of embarrassment I said I was sorry and headed to the bathroom that was beside that office, quickly changing the order of my clothing; after recovering my composure, I left there and after indicating where Enma should sit, I asked:
-Enma, forgive me for what happened I admit that I was in a bit of a rush when I left my room.
-Not a problem at all Richard! replied Enma smiling broadly I bet you must have given one hell of a night to the girl, wasn t it?
-Of course Enma! I replied enthusiastically, blushing in sequence it was something that neither she nor I will forget so soon! I am grateful from the bottom of my heart!
-Oh don t mention it Richard Enma blushed slightly it was a pleasure helping a so interested in learning student as yourself!
-That is good then! I replied smiling, going for the other subject it came to my knowledge that you wanted me to call you yesterday, I am sorry for not doing it, because I ended up sleeping before having a chance, what was it about?
-I am glad nothing happened at all Richard! she then made a sign with her paw index finger when I call you, call back as soon as possible!
-I know I was gravely mistaken and I am sorry I replied noticing the seriousness of my mistake, asking but what could happen?
-Apparently Silva will act - said Enma, placing the cards on the table hem ight be tired of waiting the nekomimis act or even the other traitor I don t know -What makes you think he have finally decided to act? I asked, imagining the motive behind it.
-Well replied Enma, raising the index finger first, for some time now he has been saying that he is almost ready to begin our plan against you; which I found to be very weird since we haven t talked to any lawyer yet -I agree, really strange - I pondered, asking in sequence what do you think this means?
-I think he might believe he actually did seduce me replied Enma with a grin on her face because even if I still keep being the bad girl, I pretend to accept everything he orders me to do I also believe he think I do not tell you anything about us she then pointed to the reports handed down from her to me and according to what we agreed upon, I gave him some selected information, making him even more open with me in love I would actually say hence why he let slip something about it.
-And what did he let slip? I asked intrigued.
-That he was ready to demonstrate how corrupt the noble Montecchio was she then paused for a moment, continuing next and that he was just waiting a reply from one of his contacts , that was of vital importance to his plans to work and when I was going to ask him on details of it, his phone rang and he talked briefly with someone I believe was said informant -And what was said? I asked extremely curious.
-I couldn t comprehend it very well replied Enma with a disheartened face what I did understand was that he did confirm something was done and that they could continue with the plan, I actually even tried to ask about it as soon as he hung up, however he said he needed to run, as it was time to set up some things and asked me to let the mobile phone on all the time, seeing he could call me at any time and tell me what I would need to do.
-I understand - I replied while pondering and what do you think he wants to do?
-It depends, if he is as dumb as we suppose he is pondered Enma and really believes I am really siding with him, or even in love; he might be trying to take me away from the ruckus his actions will probably bring us, or he wants to create me an alibi or maybe -Or maybe? I asked, filled with apprehension.
-He might be trying to create an alibi for himself - she then thought a bit about it after saying that and frowned in sequence although that could be seen as if the niece Enma ganged up with the Silva to eliminate you what wouldn t be good at all for him -I agree - I replied, stopping to think for a while but what do you suggest then?
-I believe you should use this, as I cannot seem to get what Silva s real intentions are she replied while dressing the same tiara she used on Andrade s birthday party, which had a hidden camera so you can follow me in case I am called and we both can be updated simultaneously of each other s status she then handed me the glasses and other gadgets with that you can watch me whenever you find convenient, I suggest that we stay on guard and if possible out of here for a while, each one of us on their own place, without me knowing where you are, but you knowing where I am; what do you think about that?
-It seems like a good idea Enma I commented, explaining my point of view so that way we can be informed of what is going on and we can decide together what to do.
-That is it! replied Enma enthusiastically, clapping to me I knew I could count on your intelligence! However I believe we should leave the mansion for today, just to ensure we shall not involve any innocent people, you can go anywhere, I shall go - that was when she was interrupted by the mobile phone Silva gave her just one moment Richard.
-Of course, go ahead I replied, along with a hand movement.
-Hello?... yes yes I understand already? Wow! I can t believe it! Meet with you Rika? But are you sure? Will it be alright? Enma clearly had a face of someone that was doing a play of sorts, as not to raise any suspicion on her I understand where are we going? Caf Mew Mew again? In one hour? I comprehend deal, see you soon Rika - hanging up in sequence.
-Who was it Enma? I asked worried and what did they want?
-That was Silva s slave that plays out Rika so in case you intercept one of the calls replied Enma, with a serious face apparently the plan will start today, and soon! I shall get ready to Rika s meeting and you, for now leave this place and stay one a public place, preferably with a lot of people together, with the glasses and the gadget inside your ear so you can monitor me all the time; do you agree with our plan?
-Yes, place it into motion I replied standing up, ready to go change my clothing to something more common.
-Oh dear! Are you going somewhere? asked Akira, entering the room with a tray filled with breakfast things I thought you might be hungry as you haven t even eaten -Oh Akira-chan I looked at Enma, that just said you can eat, there is enough time thanks my little and favorite nekomimi! I petted her head.
I quickly ate the breakfast with my nekomimi, it was divinely delicious what she brought me and I even surprised myself that I actually noticed that in a time like this; it didn t take much time for us to finish and so I headed towards my bedroom and changed my clothes for something more common that was on my closet, now I looked like someone with a good taste, but simple; I was getting ready to leave when I stumbled across Akira, that asked me eagerly:
-Oh dear! Are you going out? Where are we going today? she smiled in sequence.
-Forgive me Akira-chan I fondled her head knowing she wouldn t like at all the news but this time I need to go alone, therefore you are free to do whatever you want until later today.
-Ahhhhh . replied Akira, lowering her ears, disappointed you really cannot take me along ?
-Unfortunately no little one - I tried to smile in the best way possible it is just for your own safety.
-It is alright - replied Akira, already tearing up I understand -Hmmm, Rick? said Dawn, showing up at the door can I suggest something?
-Of course, be my guest I replied.
-I came here with the intend to soliciting help, since this is the last day of the shops being opened before Easter Dawn then stopped for a moment and cleared her throat since Akira-chan won t be able to go with you, I was thinking into soliciting her help!
-That would be great! I exclaimed looking to the little nekomimi do you wish to go with Dawn?
-Can I really? replied Akira energetically, forgetting her sadness from moments ago.
-Yes! Go and have fun! I exclaimed, pointing to Dawn.
Akira then went together with the inumimi, right in sequence I went down and took my car, heading then to a known district, I parked the car and walked around ten minutes, always looking at what Enma was doing through the video; she was already inside Caf Mew Mew, together with Rika , until that moment they hadn t talked anything worth of mention, the kitsunemimi actually tried to ask what was going on and all that the girl , as she didn t seem to be older than sixteen, said was that Silva was preparing something and needed her at that place to preserve her integrity, Enma even tried to extract more information further, however that was useless, everything she replied was Please, Montecchio Enma-sama wait a little bit longer .
It passed over eight hours without anything else happening, neither with me in my privileged local bar seat, nor with Enma and her unchanging friend Rika , no matter how much they would chitchat, she wouldn t slip a single word out, I began thinking if something was really happening, but I had to believe in Enma for now; what does this mean? I thought, would this be that there are trying to fool us ? I don t believe it is that but it does not make sense! Why would they do that? Were they trying anything? What? Where? When? Against who? Why? my head asked those things, right after my mobile rang, in the Dusk was what showed on the screen; intrigued I answered:
-Montecchio Richard speaking, Dusk? How can I help you?
-RICHARD! Dusk shouted on the other end, sounding really desperate DAWN Yumi AND AKIRA WERE KIDNAPPED!
