After hours the sun began to set. Everyone was at their place and some just went out to work their night jobs. Yuzu stopped by a store and looked at it as she saw a 'Help Wanted' sign
Hm? I do need the money and I want to help grandmother
"Yuzuko?" Shai asked
"H-huh?" Yuzu asked
"Come on we should head home" Shai said
"Yeah I know but...I need a job and help out grandmother" Yuzu said
"But it's dark and remember last time?" Shai asked
"Yeah but it won't happen again" Yuzu said
"That's what you think" Shai said
"Stop worrying so much about me..." Yuzu said and headed to the store. Shai stood there nervously not knowing what to do and sighed deeply
"Wait for me!" Shai said and ran up to her following her. Yuzu got in and she saw the cashier
"E-excuse me where's the manager?" Yuzu asked
"Oh the manager? He's getting ready to leave. You can see him in the back. Follow me" The man said and walked to the back being followed by Yuzu. Shai stayed behind and looked around the store. Yuzu followed the man and saw a woman
"Hm? Who is this?" She asked
"This girl wants to see you" The man said
"What for young lady?" The woman asked
"I-I came here for a job" Yuzu said
"Oh..hmm?" The woman asked and checked Yuzu out
She isn't bad at all. Guys would usually come at night and check her out. Sweet. This is perfect. She's perfect
"Very well. You're in. Chuck please show her around and everything. She'll do the night shift" She said
"Yes ma'am" Chuck said and looked at Yuzu. Yuzu trembled a bit at the man and he only bowed down
"Chuck Wilde" Chuck said
"Y-yuzu Okogi" Yuzu said
"Nice to meet you Yuzu. You'll do amazing in your first day" The woman said as she packed her things. She grabbed her bag and walked away. Shai looked up seeing the woman leave and found Yuzu with the man
"Alright I'll show you around" Chuck said and began to walk around telling Yuzu where things are and what chores she had to do
"You got everything?" Chuck asked
"Yes sir" Yuzu said
"Alright. I guess I'll go as well. If anything goes wrong just call me. Here's my number" Chuck said as he handed her a piece of paper. Yuzu held it and nodded
"Okay" Yuzu said
"Good luck Okogi-san" Chuck said and walked out the store. Yuzu stayed behind and walked to the cashier
"So you really are gonna work here?" Shai asked
"Yep!" Yuzu said and sighed
"I'll stay just in case" Shai said
"Jeez Shai just go home. I can take care of myself" Yuzu said
"Yuzuko you already got healed. If you get hurt again you might die or something" Shai said
"You're worrying too much" Yuzu said
"Yeah but I'm worried because I care" Shai said
"Fine fine whatever" Yuzu said. Shai nooded and decided to stay near the entrance to see if any customers seemed dangerous. A couple hours passed and Shai began leaning against the wall as she was feeling drowsy. Yuzu was just cleaning the floors keeping everything neat. Suddenly the bell rung and Shai jumped up. Yuzu looked up at the person and saw it was Matsuri's father...Taruto
What the hell? What is he doing here? Oh...yeah. her father is a drunk asshole who does drugs
Shai backed away from the man and Taruto walked to the register
"Hey! Give me some god damn cigarettes!" Taruto said
"Coming sir" Yuzu said and grabbed a pack of cigarettes and placed them on the table. Taruto looked at the blonde and smirked
"Hey cutie. You're really cute" Taruto said as he tried reaching up to touch her but Yuzu backed away
"H-hey don't touch me" Yuzu said feeling uncomfortable
"Hey I won't hurt you" Taruto said. Shai walked up to him then grabbed him
"Take your god damn cigarettes and leave" Shai said sternly
"You little bitch" Taruto mumbled and slapped Shai hard across her face
"Sh-shai!?" Yuzu exclaimed and glared at the man. Shai was on the ground and laughed softly
"Hey hey hey...haven't you heard you shouldn't hit girls?" Shai asked and looked up at the man as her eyes flashed a blue color. Shai stood up and smiled as she kept staring at the man
"Wh-what the hell?" Taruto asked. Shai grabbed the cigarettes and shoved them inside his mouth then kicked his stomach hard knocking him back against the glass door. Taruto coughed and trembled as he looked up at Shai
"Hahahaha...defeated by a little girl. How does it feel asshole?" Shai asked
"Y-you stupid bitch!" Taruto shouted as he ran up to her but Shai kicked his balls hard and punched his face hard breaking his nose
"Aaaggghhh!" Taruto shouted in pain. Shai laughed and punched him hard in the face again. Yuzu stood there watching seeing how Shai was so strong and seemed a bit crazy. Shai panted heavily and glared at the man
"Leave...bastard" Shai mumbled. Taruto held his nose and stood up running away from the store. Shai groaned and leaned against the wall as she fell down
"Shai!?" Yuzu exclaimed and ran up to her
"Shai you okay!?" Yuzu exclaimed. Shai groaned and slowly woke up
"H-huh? What h-happened?" Shai asked
"You fought that man and suddenly fell down" Yuzu said
"O-oh...it happened again" Shai mumbled and sat up
"Can you walk? Are you okay?" Yuzu asked
"Y-yeah I'm fine hehe" Shai said rubbing her head softly. Yuzu helped her up and she looked at the mess and blood
"I'll clean it up" Shai said
"Thanks" Yuzu said. Shai grabbed the cleaning supplies and began to clean up the mess she made. Yuzu was in the register and groaned feeling bored since she was just standing there doing nothing. She grabbed her phone trying to find something intresting
Hm? Something's going viral? What the hell?
Yuzu checked a few people posting something about lesbians and Yuzu decided to check it out. She looked at the picture and her eyes widen. She trembled and felt many emotions going through her body
Wh-what!? No! What!? What the fuck is this?! That bitch lied! That bitch fucking lied!
Yuzu growled in frustration and threw her phone
"DAMNIT! THAT BITCH LIED!" Yuzu shouted
"Y-yuzuko!? What happened? What's wrong?" Shai asked. Yuzu's tears built up in her eyes and felt a painful sting in her chest. She gasped for air and felt sick. She covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom
"Yuzuko!?" Shai exclaimed and looked at her phone. She picked it up seeing it cracked but it was still working she saw the picture and her eyes widen
Oh...now I understand...poor Yuzuko...that bitch. Seriously? Kissing some other bitch? I hope Yuzuko is doing okay...
While Shai was in the store, Yuzu was in the bathroom vomiting. She coughed and trembled as she saw blood. She gasped and flushed the toilet. She ran to the sink and wiped her mouth cleaning it up. She lifted her head up and gasped seeing a black shadow figure.
"Okogi..."
She panted heavily and trembled as she felt fear. She teared up and felt her head start to hurt
Ugh! Headache!
"Gaaaaah! Aaaaaaah! DAMNIT! Raaaah! ARRRGGHHHH!" Yuzu shouted her voice changing and growled furiously. She hit her head against the wall hard and felt her heart ache as well. The door opened and Shai walked inside. Yuzu fell to the ground and her eyes flashed a dark color
"Yuzuko!" Shai exclaimed and walked up to her then helped her up. Yuzu trembled and coughed
"You okay?" Shai asked
"...no...I want to die..." Yuzu mumbled. Shai held her and patted her head softly. Yuzu trembled and teared up as she cried again. Shai hugged her tightly and gritted her teeth
That bitch will pay one day...

The Taniguchi family were at the mansion having dinner together while Matsuri was left home. Everyone was quiet while Harumin was in fear since she knew that her father would be angry. Mitsuko just sat straight and stayed silent
"So how are my wonderful granddaughters?" Their grandmother asked
"We're doing okay" Mitsuko said
"How about you Harumi?" Their grandmother asked
"I'm doing okay as well" Harumin said
"That's great" Their grandfather said. Harumin just looked at her father seeing him glare at her a bit
Shit...he knows. Obviously that picture went vibral...
"And Harumi...have you seen or heard anything about the Aihara?" Her grandfather asked. Harumin jumped a bit and looked down
"Not really. I have heard a few things about them but I haven't made any contact with them" Harumin said. Her grandfather looked at her for a moment and let out a soft chuckle
"Harumi you know very well that we love you and care for you but our reputation means so much to us. Us Taniguchis have caught up and reached second rank above the Momokinos...but our goal is to top the Aihara. Isn't that right?" Her grandfather asked
"Yes..." Harumin replied
"Your sister here is a great example. You should be more like her. Mitsuko is our most valuable treasure. She'll inherit the company and be the best. Heh I can tell she'll be even better than that Aihara. Speaking about that Aihara...have you spoken with her? Because I heard a few small rumors about a certain someone reuniting with another certain someone" Her grandfather paused as he put his fork down then looked up at Harumin
"Care to explain that picture that has gone viral?" Her grandfather asked. Harumin just looked down at her food and clenched her fists tightly
Damnit...I don't know what to do or say. Shit...Mei Aihara if I make it out alive I will go after you and fuckin kill you. This is all your fault! Fuck you!
"Harumi...answer me. Now" Her grandfather said sternly
"U-uhm...well you see-"
"Can't you just leave her alone?" Soha asked interrupting her
"Excuse me?" The old man asked
"I said leave her alone" Soha said sternly
"Hojo..." His father said as he glared at his son
"U-uh sorry father. I'll take care of this" Hojo said and looked at his wife
"Honey please..." Hojo whispered
"You can't let him talk to your daughter like that. Harumi had nothing to do with it. It's not her fault and stop comparing her with Mitsuko. Both of them are unique and they deserve to choose their own destinies" Soha said. Hojo just looked at his wife with pleading eyes and looked at his parents who were glaring at him
"Hojo...I thought we've been over this" Her father said
"I-I can-"
"Don't disappoint us Hojo. You must learn to be in charge of your family" Her mother said
"Y-yes mother" Hojo said as he looked down. Soha just stood up and walked up to her two daughters tapping their shoulder lightly
"Let's get out. Now" She whispered loud enough for both of them to hear. Mitsuko and Harumi nodded then stood up from their seat
"S-soha wait!" Hojo said as he stood up
"Hojo you better fix this" His father said
"Y-yes father. I've got everything under control" Hojo said and ran after his wife. Soha just grabbed her coat and put it on
"He never listens..." Soha mumbled and grabbed her car keys
"S-soha please just listen" Hojo said as he caught up to her
"No you're the one who has to listen. I thought we agreed on not to speak of that or talk bad about your daughter. I especially hate it how they compare them both. Harumi doesn't have to be like her sister Mitsuko. Sure Mitsuko is a great example to be successful but Harumi is doing great. She doesn't have to be like her sister" Soha said
"We are doing this for our reputation" Hojo said
"Reputation reputation reputation. I'm sick of that damn word. All you ever cared about was being the top and richest man ever" Soha said
"I'm doing this for you and our daughters" Hojo said
"Oh now you want to call them your daughters? You just want everything for yourself. You do know very well that you weren't there when I gave birth to them and the way you treated Mitsuko is something I will never forget about or forgive you. You've done nothing but make us suffer" Soha said and sighed deeply
"Y-yeah I know but I only wanted to help" Hojo said
"I don't care anymore. You know what...it's over. I should've done this a long time ago..." Soha said
"Wh-what? What do you mean it's over?" Hojo asked
"Girls...please go outside and wait for me" Soha said as she kept looking at Hojo. Harumin and Mitsuko walked away leaving their parents alone
"S-soha what do you mean by that?" Hojo said
"It's over. We're getting divorced" Soha said
"Wh-what? No Soha!" Hojo said
"It's over! All you want is money! Your parents made you marry me so they could have my family's fortune!" Soha said
"That's not true!" Hojo said
"Whatever...I'm leaving and taking everything with me. Even my daughters" Soha said
"You can't take them. You can take Harumi but not Mitsuko. She's too valuable" Hojo said
"Stop treating her like some creation you made. You're the reason why my little beloved girl suffered. All your beatings made her change...completely. I-I still remember how she used to smile and l-laugh...but now she's broken. All because of you..." Soha said as she teared up
"S-soha think-"
"Hojo we are over. I've already had my things packed. Goodbye...you can keep your fuckin mansion. I'm staying with my beloved girls" Soha said and walked away
"S-soha wait! Please!" Hojo said but a bodyguard, that belonged to the Taniguchis which was Soha's family, stopped him. Hojo just watched her leave and the bodyguard released him as he walked out the mansion. Hojo stood there and fell on his knees
"What a shame..." His mother said
"You've done nothing but disappoint us. Now for your stupid move we are all at the bottom! The Taniguchis were the reason we were rich! Now we've got nothing but a stupid house!" His father said. Hojo just looked down and clenched his fists tightly
So you care so much about your daughters...? Guess it's time to get rid of that little kid once and for all...
