Unbelievable...
"I'm back." Yumiko enters the penthouse close to the hands striking 11:00. Her jacket was covering her black dress tightly, not revealing a single bit of the dress of her skin apart from her legs and face. "Is Yukio back yet?"
She shrugged the jacket off her shoulders, revealing a blood drenched dress. "Whoa, what happened?!" Baba cries, looking at the expensive clothing. "I'm an assassin. It's a... hands on job. I need to get down and dirty sometimes."
"How do you move in that dress, then?"
"Bodysuit underneath. Never leave home without wearing it, same thing with my brother."
"Sensible logic that I will not question." Eisuke quips as he reads over an auction list. "Mhm. But seriously, is my brother home yet?"
"Haven't seen him since you left earlier." Ota and Baba answer as they ogled her, taking off her dress to reveal the promised one piece tight bodysuit, but this time a bit more different than the last. Instead of a one piece with long sleeves and legging like pants, it was just short shorts and a black tee-like outfit but the same color as the shade of black.
Pulling off her wig, her silver hair flows down to her back as her red eyes re appear with the contacts now gone.
"Man, those killed. Gave me another head ache, tch." she clicks her tongue, massaging the bridge of her nose with her eyes shut tight. Just then, the door opens to reveal her brother, who was carrying a box, looking tired as hell.
As the bidders expected with her stubborn attitude, Yumiko turns away from her brother and heads off to a corner of the room by the window.
Her brother sighs and pulls off his jacket to reveal his own bodysuit with the long sleeves and pants, covered in crimson red. But despite himself, he approached his sister with the big box, the girl pouting off in the corner trying to hide from him.
"Come on Yumiko. You know I just don't want you getting hurt." he urges, hiding the box from view as he tried to turn his sister around to face him.
"..."
"Fine. Here, am I forgiven?" he opens the big, decorated pink box to reveal a chocolate cake. She glances up before looking away and only to glance back with wide eyes, perked. Her brother never bought her cake. It was usually her who does it.
"Absolutely." she grabs the box and sticks her tongue out at him. "I can solve anything with sweets with you, hm?" he teases, affectionately ruffling her hair.
"Yup." she replies, popping the 'p' in the end with a cake-stuffed mouth. She already dug in with an unused fork at a nearby table.
Yukio leads his sister back to the others, who were watching her scarf down the cake in a much better mood. "Let me guess, the way to her heart is through her stomach?" Ota chuckles from the side, staring at her.
"Not really. She just enjoys sweets when it's from someone she loves. If it's from some stranger, she takes it, but she throws it out soon." Yukio replies, patting his sister's head.
"Pft, how much sweets does she eat everyday?" Eisuke laughs. "Not much but when she finds a lot, she will eat it all."
"How does she stay so skinny, then?" Ota questions hesitantly, glancing at Yumiko every so often, who was off on her own little world, sitting cross legged like a child as she wolfs down the dessert.
"Assassin work is much more tiring than you think. And we train more than any other assassin out there. Strictly 3 hours per day nonstop." Yukio replies. But with 2 final pieces, Yumiko suddenly cries out. "Aw, man!"
"What's up?" Yukio peers over at the box, which Yumiko was staring at regretfully.
"I feel bad... I got mad at you for nothing." she mutters, scratching her head awkwardly. "Here..." She looks at him with puppy eyes and holds out a cake piece.
"Aww! That's adorable!" Baba squeals, trying to hug her, but Yukio glares at him to back off. "Wait... Don't I get one?" Ota whines, gesturing to the final piece, seeing as Yumiko fed one to her brother.
"Hmm..." she mutters, staring at it wistfully. She picks it up and was about to hand it to a grinning Ota when...
"Nope! Syke!" she giggles and stuffs the cake into her mouth, finishing it off. "You don't deserve cake."
"Well you're going to get fat eating that." Eisuke chuckles from the side.
"Nope. I've eaten three boxes before, but it stays the same! Besides, I go to the gym and training arena for my job." she replies with a her own chortle, sitting beside Soryu and between the mobster and the CEO.
"Sis, you should probably get back to the room... You're going to-"
A small snore cut him off and everyone turns to Yumiko, who was sound asleep, knocked out cold with her head on Soryu's shoulder, who was stiffened up, blushing slightly.
"Well that was quick." Mamoru comments from the side, watching her.
"Yeah. I was going to get her to get to the room. Once she eats a lot of sweets like that, she knocks out. But we know the sugar is actually powering her. Once she wakes up, she'll be ready for training for 6 hours straight."
"Seriously? Man, you guys are weird. Can you please remove her from me, now?" Soryu demands, trying to wiggle away form the sleeping assassin. "Wait, let me just..." Eisuke and Baba laugh as they snap pics of the two.
"Hey!" the mobster only moves around more, until Yukio stops him. "Calm down. If you wake her up from any sort of sleep or rest moment she has, she gets tantrums. She'll hit who ever woke her up, so..."
"I can stop that, just get her off-" "You probably shouldn't. I am still stronger than her, but when I woke her up, she left me a bruise. It's still there."
Yukio shows them a bruise on his right shoulder. "Whoa, that looks painful!" Baba exclaims, looking at the big bruise. "Is that a tattoo?" Ota joins, looking at a small decoration peeking out form the cloth.
"Yup."
"Wait... Does your sister know?" "She's got one, too." "Since when?!"
"When we were 17. It has a... symbol, let's say."
"Really?! Tell us!" Baba and Ota urge. "I told you about our past a little bit. But this tattoo has more secrets about us than any other. Only with Yumiko's permission can I tell you."
"She's got you wrapped around her lil' finger." Mamoru snickers, putting out his cigar. "That's true. I won't deny it in the least. She is my only family left, after all."
"So watch'a guys talkin' about here?" Yumiko's voice suddenly joined in and everyone turned to beside Soryu, where Yumiko's once sleeping figure disappeared. A pair of arms looped around Soryu's neck from behind.
"So? Are you going to tell me, your highness?" she purrs into his ear. Instead of getting mad like everyone expected, Yukio watched on laughing with a flute of champagne in hand. But Soryu's cheeks redden when Yumiko began nibbling on his ear before pulling away.
"Haha, his face... Let me guess, you've never had a girlfriend before?" she giggles as she walks over to her brother's side. "Well, anyway. It's midnight. I need to go sleep before..."
*knock* *knock*
A sharp knock comes from the door and everyone stands but Yumiko was the first to the door.
Her face turns angry and her words were sharp.
"You... Unbelievable."
