(A/N: It's been a challenging week for me and it somewhat affected my updates on my WIPs because of how busy I was. It's a good thing that my Muse is certainly present for this latest chapter of my Maisenju fic. It's quite short but I'm still setting up some foundations of the story so probably the next, future chapters will set a pace and progress things for a bit. Hoping that you enjoy this chapter as much as I did when writing it).


Chapter 2

By: Aztec999


"So, we'll have an upcoming family gathering of some sort and our grandpa indicated that we can bring some of our closest friends around." Emma began talking after sipping on her milkshake. She was currently lounging idly on Senju's bedroom.

"It sounded ominous coming from you." Senju arched a brow as she stared at the starry-eyed expression of the blonde beside her.

"Hush. Don't be like that. This is a great opportunity for us to start our plan. There is no strict dress code but I believe that you'd catch my beloved brother's attention wearing this classic, little black dress." Emma brought out her phone and showed her a picture of a glittering black dress that had a high cut on the left side.

"Why is there even a high cut around the left leg area?" Senju complained as she faceplanted her face on the mattress.

"Well, duh. You're not going to a church service union so we're not aiming for a conservative style. Besides, it's still classy! It's not that revealing c'mon. I know you're not used to wearing girly dresses perse but this is completely tamed compared to what I own in my closet." Emma tried to persuade her.

Senju's grumbles were muffled under the weight of the mattress before she rose her head with a small pout on her face.

"Fine. Since this is part of your so-called plan, I'll wear it. But no damn high heels of 4 inches and above! I already accepted the dress so let me at least wear a pair of stilettos that has normal heel height!" She quickly intercepted as Emma was about to say something on her own.

"But at least let me do your hair and make-up!" Emma tried to bargain.

Senju narrowed her eyes at her. "I may not be too feminine like you but I'm not completely helpless! I know how to dress and make up like a girl y'know? I even go to shopping sometimes using the black card of my big brother."

Emma stood up and put her milkshake on her small table before putting both of her hands on her hips. "My brother may be somewhat oblivious into this kind of matters but I know what catches his attention so we will enhance your natural charm and beauty. Look, I believe that you can do it but it would be easier for you if you'll let me help?" She flashed her award-winning smile at her direction to which Senju could only sigh in half exasperation and half defeat.

"If you make me look like a clown or a tramp, I'm out of this plan." She warned her without any heat to her words.

Emma squealed out in delight and rushed towards her side to embraced her tightly. The force of her action landed them unceremoniously on the other side of the mattress. "Get off from me! I can't breathe!" Senju groused as she tried to push her away to which the other did the opposite and just hug her tighter in return.

"I'm so excited to do this! Mikey's brain will go offline once he sees you at the gathering this coming Friday!" Emma gushed out and Senju thought to herself to how she did even get into this kind of mess.


Senju kept her eyes close as Emma appliedeyeshadow to her eyelids using the flat shader brush and blended the colors carefully.

"Are you sure this is going to work?" Senju couldn't help but ask as the anxiety and nervousness inside of her began to rose which was uncharacteristic of her since she's usually confident in what she does on an everyday basis of her life.

It was Friday night. And the date of the Sano's family gathering with some few guests invited.

But this was different since she was going to seduce Mikey for fuck's sake.

She didn't have any come hither attitude in her bones and even though Emma gave her a crash course on the basics in gathering the attention of the opposite sex, it made every fiber of her being squirmed weirdly at the mere thought of doing so.

Because again… it was Mikey of all people.

This was the guy who never failed to taunt and ruin her day with every chance that he got. Whenever they crossed paths with each other, it's like a damn warzone between the two of them because of how they exchanged insults and bicker with one another like some cat and dog on the street.

Not to mention they're both competitive in the field of martial arts and it didn't help that she was one of Mikey's grandfather students in their martial arts club and they didn't waste a chance to one up each other whenever they got a chance to do so. Especially Mikey. Him and his bragging rights because of him being a damn prodigy in martial arts alone.

So, did he have to rubbed it on her face with every chance he got?

Ugh.

Seducing him was like requesting for the moon to turn blue or some shit like that.

Impossible.

But then again she already agreed on Emma's crazy plan to 'seduce him with her charms' and she doesn't back down on her word and promises.

Even though she had an urged to sock him on the face with one of her fists to wiped off that infuriating smile on his face.

"Of course, it will work. Trust me on this. Sometimes men are simple beings. They know how to appreciate a pleasant looking face and body of a woman in front of them. And I will cheer you on! How hard can it be?" Emma asked cheerfully.

Senju resisted the urge to snort at her words and kept still. "This is your dear brother that we're talking about Emma. It's like getting an attention from a rock y'know?"

"Give my brother some little credit, will you? I'm sure everything will be fine. Now open your eyes slowly." Emma replied.

Senju did as what she had told her to do so and stared at the mirror owlishly.

Holy shit.

Was this her?

Emma held a triumphant look on her face as she saw Senju's shock expression in the mirror.

"See? Even yourself is captivated. Nothing can go wrong in this plan."

"Somehow it's too early to say that and there's a probability that you might jinx it." Senju replied wryly as she realized that Emma had unleashed her 100% femininity with her new look alone.

It's Senju 2.0 version for tonight.


Mikey tugged on his necktie idly as he stared at the surroundings with a bored look on his face.

"Stop doing that you idiot. It'll ruin your shirt." Draken pointed out with an annoyed look on his face.

Mikey pouted. "But Kenchin this suit makes me feel itchy and uncomfortable. Also, when is this gathering going to start? I'm hungry." He whined slightly.

A tick mark formed on Draken's forehead. "We've been here for just like 15 minutes and you're being this petty already?"

"Oi Kenchin don't talk to me like—."

Small whisperings and mutterings from the crowd made Mikey stopped midsentence and turned around out of curiosity.

But lo and behold.

It was Senju.

In a glittering black dress with a high cut style on her left leg.

Her hair was styled in a French twist updo.

And she was wearing a damn make up and black stilettos.

The dark, smokey palette of her eyeshadow magnify the chartreuse hues of her eyes and the coral pigment of her lipstick brought out the lovely shape of her cute, little lips.

Mikey's thought processing came to a screeching halt.

This wasn't the Senju that he usually saw and bicker with.

It was like he was looking at another ethereal being who stepped down from the clouds above and mingled with human beings.

She stood out from the crowd with her captivating looks and Mikey didn't know how to process this information.

Their eyes finally met and Senju held a certain look on her face that he had trouble deciphering with. But before he could even gather his wits and thoughts about the matter, another voice from behind caught not only his attention but the others as well.

"There you are Mikey! It's great to see you!"

Mikey had a confounded yet blank expression on his face as he turned around to see a smiling blonde in front of him.

Emma narrowed her eyes at the woman who greeted him.

….and finally, Senju's smile remained frozen on her lips while she stared and analyzed at the other woman who greeted him.

This was going to be a long night.
