So, So Wrong

The rest of the night passed, and everyone had somehow managed to stumble into their suites, Eisuke lending the Foxes a place to stay for the night with the empty suites left in the penthouse. 

The next morning, the Foxes all appear along with the bidders into the lounge, Paris having left with her father the night before. All the girls, were wearing Sakura's clothes, fortunately almost the same size as her. The boys, were wearing the bidders' spare clothes, surprisingly.

Kenshi, who had almost the same build as Soryu, was wearing the mobster's spare clothes. Hiro borrowed Ota's, Riki borrowing Eisuke's with Atsumu wearing Baba's. Takuto on the other hand was wearing one of Eisuke's as well, since Mamoru said his closet was too much of a mess to find any clothes in.

"Hey, any of you have hangovers?" Sakura asked as she sat beside Soryu with a glass of water. They shook their heads no. Although they were slightly drunk last night, they weren't that hammered.

"Which is a good thing because we're starting LRN today so costumers'll be coming... Hopefully." Atsumu smiled, his hand wrapped around the waist of his wife, who grinned.

"Thanks for letting us borrow your clothes. We'll wash it and return it by tomorrow or today." Cecilia smiles, gesturing to hers and the Foxes' clothes.

"Take your time. We have more clothes than those." Sakura chuckles, downing her water. 

"Okay, as much as I do want to stay here and chat, we have work to do. Thanks for the invitation last night, Ichinomiya," Riki nods to Eisuke, who nods back, "We'll see you later. Let's go, Foxes."

The groups of thieves leave, the bidders beginning to chat as Sakura heads into the kitchen to make breakfast for the boys.

~*****~

After their breakfast, the groups changes into more casual clothes, well, the boys in their usual suits and such, Sakura in skinny jeans and a slightly bigger sweatshirt. 

"Okay, so ya'll got any-" Sakura was cut off when a sharp knock came from the door. Everyone's heads turned, well, everyone but Mamo's, who was asleep with his head to the side.

Sakura opens the door and in front of her stood a young woman, around her age, or maybe a year older. She had dark blue eyes, long black hair, showing off a dark outfit made of dark jeans and a black tank top, a black leather jacket over it with dark gray combat boots.

"Um, hi? Who are you?" Sakura asked, staring at the woman. 

"Detective Greene. I'm looking for Mamoru Kishi."

"May I have your relationship to him?" Sakura smirked, ignoring the fact that she was Mamoru's girlfriend. 

"I'm supposed to be on a case with him about Soryu Oh, the mafia leader." Obvious panic flashed across the hacker's face at the woman's words. Shit...

Then she laughed, "I'm joking. I know he's your boyfriend, you're Sakura right?"

"How do you know me?" "Mamoru told me about his friends, and the auctions, and everything. But don't worry, Ichinomiya might not know, but I help Mamo with covering his tracks about the IVC."

"Ah, so that's how you two met. Come on in, Kishi's sleeping on the couch over there." Sakura lets the girl step in, and she immediately brightens when she sees her boyfriend asleep on the couch.

The rest of the bidders were obviously skeptical and concerned, looking to Sakura for answers, the hacker only waving a hand and gesturing for them to wait. Just then, the mystery woman whispered something into Sakura's ear, the two girls giggling right after with mischievous smirks.

The woman hides behind the couch where the detective slept, Sakura walking up to him. "Kishi! Kishi!" she begins shaking him awake, making the detective looked up at her irritably with one eye open, and another closed. 

"What, kid?" he grumbled, closing his eyes again. She holds in a laugh before she spoke in a panicked voice once more.

"I just got a call from your station in Japan, they said Greene's been in accident with a bombing. You were the first person on her contact's list." the detective shot straight up from his seat, wide eyed. 

"What?!" he yells, looking at her with disbelief. "No... Shit!"

"They said she's in surgery right now, 5% survival rate..." "Dammit!" he curses, grabbing his jacket.

As he turns towards the door, Shay runs up to him and wraps her arms around him, "Where you going, Mamo~? Are you leaving me for someone else?" she says in a teasing tone, looking up to him with a pout.

"What the-? Kid?" "Hey!" she giggles, pulling him into a hug. The couple share a quick kiss, making Ota groan in mock-disgust.

"Ewww.... Get a room!" he groans, sticking his tongue out. Mamoru sighs and slings an arm around Shay's shoulder. 

"Now, what are you doing here, sweetheart?" Mamoru ignored the artist's comment, turning towards his girlfriend. 

"Ah, the chief offered the senior officers a transfer to another place. I managed to slip in and get assigned to a place. There were only three sent though, one to the States, one here to Dubai and another to China somewhere."

"Well why didn't you take the States position? I thought you wanted to see your family?"

"Eh, my parents are actually on vacation with my brothers in Korea. And besides, I wanted to see you. Now, how messy has your room gotten?" the detective sighs again and smiles slightly, "You don't need to know." was the reply that came.

"ANYWAY...." Sakura interrupted with a cough, seated with Soryu again. "Care to introduce us, Kishi?"

"Ah, well..." he mutters. "Well, this is the kid I told you about." 

"Mamo!" She interrupts bluntly. "Introduce me properly!"

"Then you do it, I"m too tired." he replies, sitting back down. She sighs and smiles. "Shay Greene, Interpol agent and co-worker/girlfriend of Mamo's."

"Nice to meet you!" Ota grins. "My name's Ota, this is Baba-" Baba interrupts Ota and kneels before Shay, grabbing her hand to place a kiss on the back of it.

"Pleased to meet you, pretty lady. My names Mitsunari Baba, but you can call me Micchy, or-"

"Stop hitting on my woman, Lupin," Mamoru sighs, standing and pulling Shay close to him, glaring at the thief. "Or I'll have arrest you. Or I can have her do it."

The thief gets off his knees and raises his hands in mock surrenders, falling back on his seat beside Ota. "Alright, now let's get started with proper intros."

~*****~

After a few more introductions, Shay spent a few more hours idly chatting with them before leaving for some unattended business.

"Alright, now, as I was saying..." Sakura said. "Do you have any free time today, guys? I wanted to spend some times with all of you."

"Aww, you want to spend some time with us, Koro?" Ota grinned, sneaking an arm around her shoulder, which she shrugged off casually.

"Yeah, pretty much because of something..." she muttered. "I actually have some news for all of you, but we'll tackle that after our trip, that is, if you have time right now?"

"Then come on!"

~*****~

After their long trip which consisted of shopping, time in the casino and a movie, they were all back in the lounge in the evening, sharing some drinks.

"Sakura?" Eisuke turned to his friend. "You still have something to tell us."

The girl nods and lets go of Soryu's hand, standing in front of all the boys. "Now... As much as I hate to say this, I know we've only been here about three days but..."

"But?" "I actually have some business to attend to in my team's HQ back in Paris... I can't take you due to some incidents, and the trip will last 5 days. I really need to settle this, especially since I'm the head of this team. Even Rin is coming from Japan. It's a deal that we need to settle with a team of mobsters, and they specially requested for my presence."

"So... You're leaving for Paris for 5 days? When do you leave?"

"Tomorrow morning."

~*****~

That night, Sakura and Soryu were in their shared bed, Sakura's breaths even and measured as she slumbered peacefully. But Soryu couldn't shake it out of his mind.

That nagging feeling that's telling him... Something's going to go so, so wrong...
