Luke Foster

A/N: This route is continued from Chapter 2 (Bidding For Two) And for the rest of the routes, all start at the same chapter.

"Yang!" Yukio, with his mask finally off, with the persuasion of his sister, and changed into casual clothes was chatting with the bidders when his sister calls. "I'm going out!"

The girl comes out wearing a yellow skirt, a white blouse with a pink cardigan over it. "Where?"

"Just to grab a quick snack. Haven't had sweets since we left the headquarters." Yumiko replies as she fixes her hair. 

"Alright. Got your gun?" "Always."

The twins nod and Yumiko leaves with nothing other said, just a quick wink and a two fingered salute. As the assassin exits the elevator, she gets looks from guests, who were all dressed up, unlike her. 

She quietly makes her way out and down the street and enters a small cafe, ordering ice coffee and a doughnut coated with chocolate, sprinkled with almost every single topping. She didn't talk to anyone, she didn't look at anybody, staring out the shop's window, where she sat beside.

After a good hour to staring outside and taking her time to eat, the silver haired girl makes her way out, wanting to take a quick walk before returning. She received weird looks because of her hair but because of her intimidating aura, no one spoke to her.

"Man... It's freezing out here..." she mumbles, rubbing her hands together as she sticks them into her skirt's pocket. Her silver hair covered most of her eyes, which were cast downwards. She was about to make a turn when she suddenly bumps into a strong figure.

"What the-?!" she cries, about to fall when she feels an arm hook around her waist, pulling her towards them.

"Sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going." Yumiko bows her head and tries to untangle herself from the sandy blonde man, who held her tightly. "Umm... Care to let go of me?"

But she notices the man's cheeks suddenly dusted pink as he stared at her chest. "Beautiful..." he mumbles, reaching out to touch her neck. "What the hell?! Pervert!" she smacks his hand away.

"Oh!" the man gasps as she glares at him, squirming to get out of his strong grip. "I apologize for that... But you have quite exquisite bone structure... Your collarbones are perfect." he... compliments? Maybe? I don't know.

"Um..." Creep...

"You know what? I've got places to be." Yumiko shakes her head as she finally manages to get away from the man. "Thanks for saving me." she thanks the man before stalking off quickly, back to the hotel, her walk completely forgotten.

'I'm never going out walking like that again...'

~*****~

"I'm back... Ichinomiya, you need to do something about this." Yumiko bursts into the lounge, where all the bidders were drinking and talking. In the middle of the day?

"What?" the CEO asks, turning to the girl. "There are bozos on the street. Perverts like Baba," Ota snickers at the pouting Baba at her comment. "One just harassed me."

"What do I do with that?" "Baka. You're the one with the most power here. Get rid of 'em."

"I have no use for that." "You've got time to run auctions. You've got time to rid of Baba- er, bozos."

Her words, once more, causes the thief to sulk as Yukio snickers. "Yumiko. I need to talk to you, anyway." Yukio suddenly says but his sister's arms shoot up.

"What the hell?!" "What?" "You just said my name. What the..."

"Oh shit...." His sister face palms. "Ya' know what? Screw it. I'm Yumiko, that's Yukio." she suddenly announces and the bidders stare, confused as she leaves the room, followed by her brother.

"Alrighty then..." Ota mumbles as the twins leave. "Why is she so mean to me...?" Baba sniffles from beside the artist, pouting. "It's fine Baba... She's just in a bad mood." Ota laughs.

"Eisuke?" A deep voice suddenly calls from behind them and the bidders turn to the door where a tall, sandy blonde man stood. "Ah, Luke... You took a while, where were you?" the CEO asks, standing up from the couch.

"I had to get some supplies for the clinic." the man answers shortly. "Wait, how did you even get in here?" Soryu questions from behind his friend.

"Your assistant... Kenzaki? He lead me here." Luke answers, welcoming himself in as he sat on the couch.

"Very well, we-"

"Yukio, we need to do- PERVERT!" Yumiko's scream turns heads as she points an accusing finger at the man. "Oh, Sexy Bones!" the man calls, and the woman's eyes widen.

"In the serious few minutes we met on the street, not even knowing my name... You already have a pet name for me? What the fuck..." 

"What happened, Yumiko? Baba! What are you doing to my little sister?!" Yukio comes out with a gun, glaring at the thief first hand as he enters.

"I did nothing!" the thief claims, hands up. "You still have exquisite bone structure Eisuke." Yukio turns to Luke, who was staring at the CEO. "Who's this?"

"This is Luke Foster, an old school mate of mine and Soryu." Eisuke introduces the man, who ignores them and keeps staring at Eisuke. "Luke," the man gestures to them and they all exchange handshakes, even Yumiko, who was a bit hesitant.

But the man doesn't let go of her hand, his eyes traveling down to her collarbones again. "Alright, that's enough. Let go of my sister." Yukio growls, separating the two, hiding Yumiko behind him.

"You know what? This is the weirdest introduction ever. I'm going to the roof. I'll see you later." 

~*****~

 She sits, looking out to the scenery before her. But as Yumiko sat alone, she still had a weird feeling within her as the warmth from her right hand, which Luke had held earlier, began fading. But it was replaced by his warmth from earlier, how his arm wrapped around her.

Her mind was occupied and she didn't even notice she was thinking about the mysterious, handsome man she had just met.

Hugging her knees to her chest, the assassin appreciates the cool breeze blowing through her hair as she rests her head on her folded arms, which rested on her knees.

"Luke Foster, huh...?"
