Chapter 45:

Bring Takashima home.

Yui


“Is everything fine?” Kimori asked through the headset.

“Can you please wait a little? I’m just opening the door” Aku put the key she was given in the keyhole for Yui’s house, the black suit she wore covered almost her whole body, the only thing visible was her azure-green eyes.

“Ok I got in” Aku opened the door and locked it again behind her.

“Good, go upstairs and enter the door with the word Yui written on it” Kimori whispered to the microphone.

“Understood” Aku went upstairs quietly so no one will hear her.

As Kimori said, there was a door with the word “Yui” written on it, Aku opened it and entered the room.

“Is he there?” Kimori asked, if Yui wasn’t in the room he would have to make another plan on the place which he doesn’t like at all.

“He is so cute when he sleeps” Aku smiled under her mask.

“Good” Kimori signed in relief when he heard Yui was there “take him on your back and exit the house before he wakes up.”

“Going outside the door will take too much time” Aku opened the window and jumped with Yui.

“I’m outside, proceeding to the next part” Aku said quietly.

“Be careful” Kimori was a bit worried, this part was pretty dangerous.

Aku got ready and started to run as fast as she could, jumping over cars hoping no one would see her.

“What?” Yui woke up suddenly.

“Ahhh!” Aku lost her focus and fell over, Yui fell on her.

Fortunately for them Aku fell on the sidewalk, only her leg was on the road.

Yui stood up and started running, he didn’t see Aku’s eyes so he couldn’t recognize her.

“Takashima stop!” Aku said, she was a little hurt from the fall and needed a few seconds to stand up again “your house is a big number of kilometers away, you can’t go there like this.”

“Aku?” Yui turned back and saw the azure-green beautiful eyes.

Aku was about to stand up but a car went over her leg making her scream in pain, the wheel was on her leg for a second but it felt like a whole minute for her.

“Is everything fine?” Kimori heard the big scream.

“Nothing but a scratch” tears of pain started to get out of Aku’s eyes.

Yui ran to Aku and moved her leg off the road.

“Thank you Takashima” Aku breathed heavily.

“Why are you wearing those clothes?” Yui sat near Aku, the street was empty from pedestrians, only Yui and Aku under the glowing night sky.

“We had a plan to return you home so you will be with us on election day” Aku struggled with the pain.

“Silly people” Yui smiled sweetly “I thought of returning by surprise and giving you one more surprise too.”

“A surprise?” Aku thought Yui never gives gifts to people “what surprise?”

“If I will tell you it will not be a surprise anymore” Yui helped Aku to get up.

“Is it an object?” Aku stood on one leg and leaned on Yui, she was very curious what it is.

“You can say” Yui tried to leave Aku so she will stand by herself “although it’s something a little more important than an object.

“What are you talking about?” Kimori thought Aku was talking to herself.

“Yui thought of returning to us tomorrow for the election day so this whole operation was useless.”

“Where are you right now?” Kimori asked Aku.

“Near that Italian restaurant a little after the main street, why?” Aku didn’t remember the name of the restaurant.

“If you are injured and can’t go home, please wait there, we will take you both home so don’t go anywhere” Kimori said.

“Is it Kimori?” Yui knew the headset trick too.

“Yes” Aku said she couldn’t stand by herself anymore so she fell again “they will come here to take us so we need to wait here a little.”

“Not anymore!” Nakata appeared out of nowhere smiling brightly.

“You scared me” Yui’s eyes were wide open.

“Come on princess” Nakata put Aku on his back.

“Princess?” Aku didn’t like what Nakata just said “I got injured because I fell while running and a car got on my leg!”

“What happened? slipped on your fancy princess dress?” Nakata laughed.

“I remind you that my leg might hurt but my hands still work perfectly” Aku raged loudly.

“Uh” he kept laughing “so sorry evil queen, so beautiful yet so evil.”

“It’s not funny Nakata” Yui went to protect his girlfriend.

“Sorry mister prince” Nakata was the only one laughing from his joke.

“If I’m the princess and Takashima is the prince, what are you?” Aku was still angry.

“I’m the beautiful brave knight of the kingdom” Nakata played with his hair.

“No, you are the maid” Yui said with a serious expression on his face.

“Wha…” Nakata tasted from his own medicine, this time the two laughed.

“Hey! do my hair maid!” Aku said, she looked a little weird when she wore the black oversized suit and spoke like a princess.

The three entered the forsaken street, the same thing once again, the same way the pretty buildings become negelated and dirty.

“There you go” Nakata put Aku on the couch when they entered their home.

Eda checked Aku’s leg and put a plaster cast on it “your leg is broken, I think I have something to help you, please wait.”

“Takashima, come for a second” Aku said to Yui when Eda walked to the sleeping room.

He sat near Aku and put his ear near her.

“Minato is the knight, Eda is the blacksmith, Kimori is the advisor, Nana is the queen, Natsuki is the king and Fuyuki is the royal clown” Aku thought of it in her head.

“Are you the daughter of Nana and your clown is your uncle?” Yui thought of the little flaws in it.

Aku laughed sweetly with a soft voice “you know what I meant…”

“I know what you meant and I’m really grateful to have a maid like Nakata” Yui started to laugh, Aku didn’t laugh but smiled sweetly.

“Here it is” Eda brought two crutches “I bought them when Minato broke his leg from colliding with a piece of furniture.”

“You don’t have to say everything” Minato said awkwardly.

“Try them” Eda ignored Minato and handed the crutches to Aku.

Aku tried them, she could stand easily now.

“How they feel?” Eda asked, he might need to make some adjustments.

Aku smiled, closed her eyes and said three words “they are perfect.”
