Chapter 2
Me and The Bodyguard
CHAPTER LINKS HERE~ I was so stupid that I just allow myself to be so vulnerable that time when Nakajima Yuto embraced me. What can I do, I was so scared at that very moment. But I admit that he is the first guy who hugged me that way and even makes me feel secure for the very first time. I do want to push him away but there is something I don’t understand--- or something I rather like to be understood. He’s kind of nostalgic as if he resembles someone but who is that someone?...
~Meeting of the Royal Ministries and Government Officials~
“What report can I hear from you Detective Lee?...” asked by the Head Empress while flipping a bound document on the table. She is seated at the far most edge of the table accompanied by heads of different ministries on her right, head of the different government officials on her left and the prime minister at the opposite edge. Royal guards are on stand in every corner while the bureau of investigation representatives including the detective she’s talking at are standing on her side.
“There is still no evidence about the incident yesterday… but we are----”
“Are you telling me that you can’t find the culprit who almost sabotage the place of Lady Yuri?...” she gives a disappointed look at the Detective but turn back to the papers again after a second. “That’s quite incompetent on your part…”
“I’m so sorry for being incompetent----”
“You’re fired…”
“B-B-But…”
“You admit it right?... that you’re incompetent… so you’re fired…” she restated and give a gesture to her guards to bring the man outside the room. After the detective and the rest of the bureau of investigation representatives leave, she waved a hand to her butler to come. “I want you to find someone much better than him… I want the investigation to end as fast as possible…” She whispered and the butler immediately bowed before leaving the room. “So let’s start this meeting… sorry for doing something unnecessary before your eyes…”
“It’s ok your highness… Japan will never become this great without your judgments…” the prime minister appraised.
“Thank you for such wonderful words of yours but I’m not flattered…” she closed the bounds of document on hand and clasp a palm on top of it. “I called this meeting because the incident that happened yesterday compels me to move the coronation of Lady Yuri…”
“Was it very serious?...” asked by the ministry of internal affairs.
“Anything that threatens her life is serious Mr. Kogoro… so I’m not allowing the granddaughter of my sister to just continue on doing the ceremony with a killer lurking around her…”
“So this means everything is cancelled…” asserted by one of the council.
“Yes…”
“By the way your highness… have you made a decision about the talk we had done a week ago?...” asked by the prime minister.
“Of course… your son is the only official fiancée of Lady Yuri but we can’t proceed to the wedding if the coronation is cancelled… hope you can bear with me…”
“Excuse me your highness… does Lady Yuri knows the things to be done on her coronation day?...” asked by the lady seated on the right.
“Good that you’ve asked about that… because I want you to look for someone who can give her proper knowledge on what will happen and what will be done on the coronation day…”
“Your words will be done…” she bowed her head as soon as she stands up. “So I’ll be sending one to her place tomorrow…”
“About that… I would like to inform everyone that Lady Yuri has been transferred to the mansion situated not far from here… she will be there for the meantime until the culprit of yesterday’s incident is arrested…”
“What if the culprit is not arrested?...” interjected by the ministry of global communication affairs.
“Stop asking negative questions… because everything will be done justly once it happens under my territory…”
------------------------------------------------
“Will you stop glancing at me and just focus your eyes on the road!...” Yuri complained. She is seated at the back seat while Yuto drives the car. Since the time they left the main palace, the guy keeps on gawking at her through the center mirror and even smile once she frowns.
“You did not told them…” he uttered and gives a wink this time when the girl instantly gazes at the mirror.
“About what?...” she rolled her eyes away until it fixed on the view outside the tinted glass window.
“About the reason why I become your butler… I told you that I accept this job because I like you…” he smirked.
“So?...”
“So you’re allowing me to continue even though there’s a possibility that we’ll end up to be together…” he teased while tapping his forefinger on the wheel.
“How sure are you?...” she flouted in a tone of doubt.
“One hundred percent!...”
“Shut up and just drive!!!...” she twisted herself more to the window where she is staring at but her peripheral view is still doing the glancing at the center mirror. “Annoying…” she muttered.
“I heard that…” he replied while decelerating and eventually stops beside the street. He disembarks the car and drags the girl outside of it after opening the door at the back seat.
“Why did we stop?!!!...” she asked after the guy closed the door.
“I want you to be frank…” he locks the sides of the girl using his arms with his hands resting on the roof of the car. “Do you like me?...”
“What guts you’ve got there?!!!... since I did not report you to the head mistress… does it means that I like you?...” she chuckled while crossing an arm over her chest. “Wake up!... because it’s daylight already Mister!!!...”
“Then why didn’t you report me?...” he leans closer this time as he flexed his elbow. “Because…” he whispered.
“Because of my parents!...” she looks down and starts fiddling the hem of her blouse just to get busy on something. “You’re the first one who made it possible for me to meet them even it was just a couple of minutes…”
“I see… so how are you going to reward me?...” he hissed with his mouth almost plunging on the forehead but before he can move to any further extent. “Auuugh!...” he groaned when the girl knee his inner thigh. “Why did you…” he paused and just hunkers down as the pain starts killing him like hell.
“I give you another chance to become my butler because of what you did yesterday… but don’t think of me as weak or easy to be taken because I’m not that kind of girl Mister!!!... now stand up and drive!!!...”
-------------------------------------------------
~At the Mansion~
Yuri immediately dashes inside the house after she gets off the car.
“Ohayoo gozaimasu Yuri-ojousama…” greeted by the servants while bowing respectfully.
“Ohayoo~…” she replied rather awkward since this kind of greeting always surprised her. She walks steadily and gracefully while marching on the aisle made by the servants just to show modesty on her part. After reaching the last two servants stooping at the last line, she starts speeding up again until someone blocks her way. The approach is very familiar thus she looks up and realizes that it is no other than the pervert who stole a peck on her lips a week and a day ago. (in her thoughts----“What the heck is this?... first Nakajima and now him?... why they keep on appearing one by one?...”)
“Wow!... Am I so stunning that you can’t even make a sound while opening your mouth that wide?...” he grinned.
Yuri covered her mouth instantly as she step back. She stops when her back bumps to someone’s chest. She looks back and found Yuto provoking a glaring competition to the guy. “Do you know each other?...”
“No…” they replied in unison and eventually flout each other’s sight.
“Remember me?…” asked by the guy after bending a little before the girl but the butler mediate in between abruptly.
“Who are you and what are you doing here?...” Yuto asked while keeping a grip on the hand of the girl.
“Takaki Yuya…” he replied while chewing something on his mouth. He extends a hand but the boy refuse to accept it thus he transfer it on rubbing his nape. “I’m her bodyguard…” he nodded.
“Bodyguard?!!!...” Yuri reacted and the grip on her hand tightens. This incites her to look at her butler, who is now so angry and even sweating for no reason. “What’s wrong?...”
“You need to rest…” Yuto replied and start dragging the girl until they arrive at the room. “Stay here and don’t get out…” he demanded.
“Great!... so now you’re the boss!!!...” Yuri objected.
“This is for your safety…” he pleaded.
“Shut up!!!... You’re a butler and not a guard… so stop saying stuff as if you’re the head of the security agency Mister!!!...”
“Just stay here!!!...” he exclaimed while striding his way outside the room. Then he turns the security device to lock after closing the door.
“Hoy!!!... Who the hell are you to lock me like this!!!... Open this up!!!... Nakajima!!!...” she yelled while banging the door. “Nakaji----” she was cut when a cold breeze coming from the veranda swathes around the room and even causes her to shiver. Hurriedly, she closed the sliding door and about to grab some jacket but the moment she turn around someone is already standing at her back. “What the!!!... God!!!... You freak the hell me out!!!...”
“It’s so good to see you again Yuri or should I call you now Princess…”
“H-H-How did you get in?...” she stuttered almost wavering in shock and apprehension as the guy starts approaching her just like before.
“I’ll get into that later…” he carried the girl on his arms as soon as he opens the door that was just closed a minute ago. He keeps on walking toward the veranda while enduring the torture of the struggles and protests he gets from the girl.
“P-P-Put me down!!!...” she exclaimed while slapping the guy and grabbing the hair alternately. “Nakajima!!!...” she exclaimed and her butler did arrive. “Help me!!!...”
“Lady Yuri!!!...” Yuto shouted and starts rushing to where his lady is taken but unfortunately the two disappear after the guy jumps outside the veranda. He tried to survey the ground but to no avail. “Shit!... why did he take her?!!!...”
-----------------------------------------------
“Stop the car!!!... I said stop the car!!!...” Yuri keeps on punching the guy and even disrupting the wheel but everything she does is ineffective. “What do you want from me?!!!...”
Yuya stepped on the brake and the tires screeches before the car stops. “Calm down…”
“You’re telling me to calm down after what you did?!!!... This is kidnapping!!!...” she grabs the air freshener and smashed it on the face of the guy. “Go back!!!... Go back to the mansion!!!...”
Yuya ignores the girl and starts driving again even the harassment and disruptions doubles. He keeps his cool and maintains his patience until they arrive at the destination where he wants to bring the princess.
“What is this---” she is about to continue whining but the scenery outside the window catches her sight so as her breath. “My school…” she smiled. She jolted when the guy leans at her thinking that maybe a kiss is about to commence but instead a click which comes from her seatbelt occur. “Why did you bring me here?...”
“No particular reason… I just want you to be with me without that nasty butler of yours…” he replied while putting the strap away. Then he grabs something from the back and placed it on the head of the girl. “Wear this cap…”
“Why should I wear this?...”
“For fashion…” he joked. “Of course to cover your face… everyone knows you already…” he removes his jacket and placed it also on the back of the girl. “Wear this also…”
“To cover my fancy dress?...” she asked.
“For cold…”
They step outside the car and proceeds at the gate of the school. Yuri can’t help but to hug the jacket more tightly to her body since the breeze is really cold. She’s lucky to get enough warmth from it because it was worn by Yuya before and not to mention, the jacket smells really nice.
“It’s lock…” Yuya asserted after noticing the padlock and the note that says “Closed during Class Hours”.
“Yeah… because the principal doesn’t like late students and those who are escaping…” she justified. “I guess I’ll just look from here…” she walks toward the gate and grabs the bars with her hands. By just staring at the buildings and trees inside, all her memories since the time she took an entrance examination suddenly flows back. “I really miss this place… I wonder how’s Yuki…” she murmured.
“Want to break some law…” he suggested while clasping the hands of the girl on the bar.
Yuri shivered a little since no guy has ever clasp her hand like that before. “Why are you holding me?...”
“Because I want to…” he drags the girl and heads to the hindmost part of the school where there are lots of cracked walls and untrimmed weeds.
“Why did you bring me here?!!!...” she yelled anxiously.
“To climb…” he lifts the waist but the girl struggles thus he put her back on the ground. “I’m helping you to get in so just cooperate…”
“Are you dumb!!!... I’m on skirt!!!...”
“Oh… I see…” he chuckled. “So lets forget this and go back…” he proposed but the girl clings on his arm before he can make a step to turn around. “What?...”
“I want to get in… but…” she paused as her head shy away. (in her thoughts----“How could I trust this guy who’s a pervert in the first place…”) Unconsciously, she starts to blush which makes her very cute yet very vulnerable. “But---”
“That’s cute…” he pinches the cheeks and squeezes the face with his palms subsequently. “Don’t blush too much princess… because you’re cuteness makes me want to kiss you again and again…” He taps the lips and even squashes it to pout before lifting the girl again. “Don’t worry… I’ll close my eyes so just climb…”
----------------------------------------------
Yuri is still annoyed on what happened during the time she was heaved for the second time. She would like to scowl at the guy right now but everytime their eyes meet, she can’t help but to look away. “Why he is much annoying compared to Nakajima…” she murmured while fisting her hands.
“Nice butt…” he uttered while tailing behind.
Yuri stops at once and turns to the guy but her eyes lay affixed on the floor. “Pervert!...”
“Is that how you get angry?... yelling at me while looking at the floor?...” he tilted his head as he bend his kness just to catch the sight of the girl. “Come on… it was an accident…” he forces the head of the girl to look at him and rationalized. “I touch it accidentally because I’m pushing you up…”
Yuri is about to lift her hand but the guy embraced her first and even rotates their position. Before she knew, a ball coming from nowhere hit the head of the guy which is supposed to be for her. “Oh my God!... are you ok?...”
“Not unless you kissed my head…” he received a slap after that. “Ouch… is that your thanks?...”
“No…” she slaps the other side of the face and pushes the guy away. “Now that’s thank you…”
“You’re welcome…” he reacted while easing the pain on his cheeks. “Why are you so----”
“Yuki!!!!...” she exclaimed just to ignore the guy. She dashes her feet to the group of students who just came out from a room.
“Chi Chi!!!...” Yuki hurriedly run toward the girl who seemed to be running like lost and enclosed an arm the moment they crash on each other. “Miss you best!!!...”
“Miss you too!!!...” (in her thoughts----“I’m lucky that she found me first…”)
Yuki notices that all the students who just came out from the other rooms start encircling them. Gossips, murmurs and noises creep up and this urges her to pull her friend away from the crowd. “Come with me…”
“Where?...”
“To a place where no one can see you…”
“Why?...”
Yuki did not answer and just continue on pulling her friend until they reach the clinic. She unlocks the door with a key from her pocket and pushes Yuri to enter but before she closes the door someone stopped her.
“Can I come in?...” asked by the guy.
Yuri tilted her head to look at the door as soon as she hears the voice. “Let him in… he’s my bodyguard…”
Yuki offers a way and allow the guy to settle inside before closing the door. She instantly pulls her friend and starts giggling like a duck. “Oh gosh!... is he your bodyguard?...” she hissed while pinching the waist of her friend.
“Ouch… stop pinching me…”
“Kinda like his height… so as his eyes… and of course his body…” she chuckled like an idiot this time.
“Oh really?... it doesn’t look that good to me…” she flouted. “By the way Yuki… why did you pull me out from the crowd?… I want to see some of our classmates…”
“You better not… they’re using you for media… your pictures, your notes, your grades and even our friendship…” she justified.
“What about our friendship?...”
“Some are pretending to be your bestfriend so that they can have an interview with the media… worst part is… they’re asking for fees…”
“Oh my God… why they are----”
“They’re all plastic… many of our classmates hate you because of your brain but now they’re acting very nice everytime a media comes here…”
“It must be hard for you… I’m so sorry….”
“You don’t have to say sorry… Remember we made a promise…” she sticks her pinkie and Yuri grabs it with a pinky also.
“No matter what happens… in good terms or in bad terms… we’ll be bestfriends forever and ever…” they chanted in unison and laugh afterwards.
“I think you need to leave Chi… media will rush here like horses any second… I don’t want you to get hurt…”
“Ok… but let me hug you one more time…” she requested and her friend gives her an embraced tight enough to erase all her longings at once. “I love you best…”
“Love you too…”
----------------------------------------------------------
“You look very happy…” Yuya asserted while striding beside the girl. They just finished climbing out the fence and now heading back to the car.
“Thanks…” she uttered rather shy. This time she makes an effort to look at the guy straight into the eyes since her anger and annoyance a while ago are now dissipated in the air. “You bring me here so that I can have some free time, right?...”
“Nope… I bring you here because I want to have a time with you alone…” he lifts the hand of the girl as soon as he holds it. “Can you teach me that pinky swear…”
Yuri takes the words of the guy as a joke. “You bring me here so that you can have time with me alone?...” she chuckled.
“Yes… now teach me that pinky swear you did with Yuki…”
Yuri got startled because there were no pretences on the eyes of the guy the moment she heard the answer. She shifted her gaze down to her hand which is now being squeeze gently. The eyes, the tone of words and even the hug before when the ball hit at them made her wonder. “You have something in common to someone…” she muttered.
“What?...”
“I said you have something in common to someone…”
“Who?...”
“My butler…”
“That’s impossible because we are not even acquainted to each other…”
Yuri retrieved her hand but it was retracted back when the guy grabs her pinkie using a pinkie also. “What are you doing?...”
“No matter what happens… in good terms or in bad terms… we’ll be together forever and ever…” he chanted while swaying their interlocked pinkies up and down. Then he lifted the finger until it touches on his lips. “I made this pinky swear because I want you to be with me forever…”
“You’re joking!!!...” she pulled her hand with effort this time and even hides it behind her back.
“I’m not…”
“Do you----” she was cut because the boy she saw yesterday is now again peeping at them. She did not bother to tell her bodyguard since the boy hitches a taxi right away and just continue her amended question. “Do you know the rules of being my servant?...”
“Of course…”
“Then stop pursuing me if you still care about your job!...”
“I’m not scared of the consequence...” he pulled the girl and heaves the waist closer to him. “I’ll definitely make you fall in love with me…”
“That will never happen…”
“Then let see…”
