"Shuzo-sama!"

I looked up and glanced at Nijimura. We're in his office with me folding paper cranes and him managing paperwork as usual. He shot me a questioning look before allowing his butler to enter.

"Come in." he called out.

The door went open with a slam. "Genesis Throne is going on rampage! Three of our men on patrol were killed!" the butler, oh no, maybe his underman, panicked.

Nijimura immediately stood from his seat. "Call the others for meeting." he ordered calmly then turned to me. "Yana, don't ever exit this room. That's an absolute order."

I nodded and he got out with the man. The door went 'click' and I knew he locked the door from outside. Sighing, I continued my work.

....

"Joker! Come out here! You selfish coward bastard!!" a barely audible shout woke me up with a startle. I rubbed my eyes with the back of my palms before approaching the window, since it's facing the front gate. Right before the gate stood three men, no, four, glaring at the guards who were barely keeping their knees still. Too much fear, I see.

The shortest wore a mocha-colored cloak with a hood over his head and some strands of his light blue hair showed out. Next to him is a really tall guy, almost like a titan, with purple hair that reached his shoulder. He wore the same cloak but he wasn't wearing the hood. Not to mention he was nibbling the pocky stick on his hand, looking as bored as my chicken back in my hometown. The guy who was shouting has messy, spiky dark grey hair and a fearful glare. The other end has a bored look on his face almost the same as the purple giant. The guy has dark blue hair and tanned skin.

I kept on watching them shouting until suddenly, the shortest, the one with hood looked up to my direction, as if he's moving with instinct. We made eye contact before I broke it, turning away from the window and sat on Nijimura's chair, spinning around.

"Joker!" the guy shouted.

I went to the window again. The blue short guy was still staring at my direction. The purple guy muttered something and glanced at the grey male. LOL this is a funny way of calling them. But anyway, they turned around to walk away. The blue short guy turned but spared a last glance at me before joining his other friends. I'm getting bad feelings watching him staring at me like that.

A knock came on the door. Assuming that it's Nijimura, I opened it without hesitation. Instead, what I found was the light blue-haired guy with his mocha-colored cloak standing right in front of me. I gasped and took a step back.

"Are you Nijimura's fiancée?" he spoke, his voice so light, so soft and his adorable blue eyes are forcing me to speak.

"Y-yes." I stuttered.

He slightly smiled. "Nice to meet you. I am Kuroko Tetsuya, Blue Diamond of Genesis Throne. I am interested in you. Give me your number, I'm calling you tonight."

****

"Mind telling me why there are only both of us?" I asked Shintarou, putting my utensils aside.

He sighed and leaned back. "Seijuurou and Shuzo are facing problems. They might not be able to attend proper meals until it is settled."

"What's the big problem?"

"I'm sorry I cannot tell you."

I tch-ed and stood, leaving him in the dining room as I headed to my room, slightly pissed at the thought of those boys keeping secrets from me even though I am part of them, at least that's what I like to call myself. I was gazing at the ceiling when my phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, I recognized it as Kuroko Tetsuya.

"Kuroko." I spoke.

"Hello there, Yana-san."

"Yeah, so what is it?"

"Keep this as a secret from Crown Deck and I'll keep this as a secret from Genesis Throne."

I waited for further explanations.

"Apparently, there has been a commotion around Japan. Those who can bring down Crisis Soul will be given a huge amount of money."

"What!? I thought Crisis Soul is-"

"Yes, it's destroyed but lately, the remaining men of Crisis Soul decided to build it back by killing and kidnapping other gangs' underman. Since Crisis Soul is connected to Crown Deck in some ways, Shuzo-san is trying to help." He cut me off.

"And?"

"I'm going to help Shuzo-san. And with that, I need you."

"Why would you do that?" I frowned.

"You see, I'm a spy. I know who's wrong and who's right. Besides, he was my senior back during middle school."

"Okay. So how do you need my help?"

"We are going to catch Crisis Soul men and interrogate them because you're the next successor. With that, you need combat skills. I'm going to train you. Come to the park 20m from the mansion every morning at 8 starting from tomorrow. This is a mission between us two."

"I am going to trust an enemy?"

"No. For now, we're comrades."

"Deal."

****

Convincing the gate guards to keep secrets is really hard. They insisted on going along but I told them I'm just going to meet my friend. After like 15 whole minutes of chatting, they finally let me go. I called for a taxi and headed towards the park. Since it was early morning, the park was deserted and the breeze was cooler.

I sat down on a bench and watched as a flock of crows flew around in the sky, gawking. "Yana-san." A soft voice startled me. I yelped and looked around.

"I'm here."

I flinched and turned to see Kuroko beside me. Patting my chest, I exhaled sharply. "Can't you appear normally?" I asked.

"That's what I did." He said.

"You scared the shit out of me."

"I'm sorry."

"Shall we start?"

"Yeah, sure."

He led me further from the open street. It's quite far from other people and the area is secluded. "First thing first, knowledge." He began.

********

It's 10am and the sun is up high. Kuroko and I were sweating a lot. We took a break after 2 hours non-stop of training. Kuroko taught me about basic combat skills and of course, my muscles will ache by tomorrow.

"Yana-san, how's Shuzo-san doing?" he spoke.

I took another sip of my drink before replying. "He's busy these days. Last night we couldn't have dinner together because he was so occupied."

Kuroko nodded. "I see."

"How was Nijimura back in middle school?" I queried.

He let out a small laugh. "If there's an award for the bravest and the most fearsome captain of Japan, I'm sure he'll win a gold medal. Shuzo-san is very smart and he's the only person who could line us, the Generation of Miracles, properly, without receiving complaints from both sides. If I had to compare with Akashi-kun, maybe Shuzo-san is more fearful than him."

"Wow, he's that scary?"

Kuroko smiled. "But he still smiles like an angel and treat us with much kindness."

"Smiles like an angel?" I snorted. "More like smirking like a pervert."

"If you say so." Kuroko shrugged.

"Shuzo's maid?" suddenly someone called out. We turned our heads and I saw Karuto.

"What are you doing here-" as Karuto was about to babble anything else, I quickly got up and covered his mouth.

"Shh!" I said. "Don't let anyone know!"

He removed my hand. "Why? I just saw Shuzo earlier. He was eating in a bakery a few meters away from here." He said.

My orbs widened. "What!?"

Karuto gestured to behind me with his head. "See?"

I turned my head and sure enough, the bakery with the sign "Lolliterea" and Nijimura was inside. He was focusing on his laptop while munching his bread and sipping his coffee.... Or tea. Whoever cares. I winced and covered my face. Karuto stares at me innocently.

"Karuto, I need your help." I said.

He tilted his head. "Sure, what's it?"

"Prevent Nijimura from seeing me out here. Can you?"

Karuto blinked, confused. Kuroko glanced at me.

"We'll include you in our mission but you must promise to guard Yana-san from Shuzo-san." Kuroko interrupted.

I gasped and Karuto turned to Kuroko. "Okay then."

Oh, if Nijimura ever finds this out. We're dead.

No.... I'm dead.

********

"Yana, are you done?" Nijimura barged in my room and I turned to him, adjusting my clothes.

"Yeah. Let's greet them." I nodded and we got out of my room together, heading towards the main gate where two limos could be seen and around 24 bodyguards stood ready around the cars. Nijimura wore a skinny suit while the others, as in Seijuurou and Shintarou wore business suit. Ryouta is inside, in the dining room.

An elderly woman stepped out of the first car. She wore a red stiletto with dark brown fur coat, though it's not that cold, Marc Jacobs© sunglasses and blonde hair that is tied up to a bun. She glanced at the car behind her and nodded to one of the bodyguards. The bodyguards nodded back and turned around to open the door of the backseat of the second limo.

A beautiful lady stepped out. Her face looked like an England woman but Nijimura told me she's moved to Spain. She has slightly wavy reddish brown hair that reached her mid-back. She wore a black capelet coat and white boot cut pants with dark blue d'orsay high heels with a flower above the ankle. She smiled at the woman and walked towards us with a smile.

When they arrived in front of us, the lady bowed while the woman merely nodded. "Hello, nice to meet you. I am Rainara Torri." She said, her voice sounded so gentle as she held out her hand to me. I smiled back and shook her hand. She didn't even bother to shook Nijimura's hands and Nijimura don't really care so he just led her to the dining room where Ryouta's waiting.

The door opened and Ryouta immediately stood, smiling broadly, the smiles he used to flash to his fans before he stopped his modeling business due to Mafia's privacy. We sat around the table and waited patiently as the butlers and maids served the foods, drinks and utensils.

"Shall we start introducing ourselves? I'm afraid I don't know your names except for Kise-kun's." Torri spoke and I could see she's nervous though she hid it so well.

"Sure," Nijimura nodded. "I am Nijimura Shuzo."

He nudged my leg and I straightened myself. "Cozart Yana." I spoke. Torri smiled wider.

"Akashi Seijuurou."

"Midorima Shintarou."

Torri nodded and clasped her hands together. "Your names match your hairs!" she giggled. "Though Nijimura-san and Cozart-san's not."

"Torri-san, you may eat." I said, calling her first name, trying to be friendly with her.

"Oh!" she gasped and smiled then began to eat. Aww, she's really cute.

****

Karuto came over shortly after we dismissed lunch. We went to the garden as Nijimura, Seijuurou and Shintarou went for a meeting. Ryouta and Torri were already starting their 'introduction day' session. The woman whom I assumed is Ryouta's mother went somewhere no one knows.

"Who's the girl earlier?" Karuto spoke as he caressed the daisies. I watched his fingers twirled around the stem softly.

"Ryouta's fiancée. She's a nice girl." I replied.

"Maid-san, what were you doing this morning? And what mission was it?" he asked.

"Ayy, stop calling me Maid-san! My name's Yana!" I pouted. "I was having a training with my.... Friend. But since you saw us, and agreed to hide us from Nijimura, you're included in our mission. I assume you know Crisis Soul."

"Yes."

"They're going on rampage. Nijimura's trying to help and we wanted to help too but if he ever finds this out, we'll be dead. So you're acting as a decoy to cover us. For the mission, it'll be carried out when thing is going out of hands like literally."

"How are you going to help?"

"Nijimura wanted to stop what they were doing but I bet it can't be done without slight violence and negotiations."

"Maid-san I hope you won't kill people."

"No! I'm not going to kill anyone! We'll just catch some of them and interrogate."

"I see...."

"So, how's it? Yes or no?"

"....Sure, why not? I have nothing to do anyway and I want to help Shuzo as well!"

"Yeay! So," I held out my pinky finger. "Friends?"

He entwined it with his and nodded. "Friends."

****

"BEACH?!!" I screamed.

Nijimura winced and covered his ears. "Yes, we're going to the beach for Torri and Ryouta. You don't have to shout."

I jumped on the couch. "Yeay! After a painful month in this prison I may be able to see the sunlight!!"

Nijimura scowled. "Don't say it like I kidnapped you."

"But you really did. Anyway, when are we going to move?!"

"Tomorrow morning so you can pack up tonight."

I grinned and gave him a playful punch on the chest. "Nijimura rocks!" I said then left the room, jiggling happily towards my room.

To: Kuroko Tetsuya

I'll be going to the beach tomorrow morning and probably will stay for a few days. How about training?

Less than a minute, I received a reply.

From: Kuroko Tetsuya

I'm going there, then.

To: Kuroko Tetsuya

What about your friends .-.

From: Kuroko Tetsuya

They'll be fine. Besides, I can travel by my private helicopter.

To: Kuroko Tetsuya

Huwat!? o.o fine. Rich bastard.

From: Kuroko Tetsuya

You're jealous.

To: Kuroko Tetsuya

I don't want to talk to you -3-

From: Kuroko Tetsuya

Okay, goodnight then, Yana-san.

The door went opened and I threw the phone under the blanket. Nijimura entered and looked around. "Anything wrong, hubby?" I teased.

He chuckled and turned to me. "Don't test me, Yana." He said and approached.

"I'm not testing you~" I smiled.

He climbed the bed and crawled to me. Ookaaayyy what is he gonna do.... He stopped in front of me, our faces inches away then he smirked.

"I want you."

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! HENTAI!!!!" I screamed and unconsciously kicked his chest.

"Ow!"

"Huwaaaaa!! I'm sorry but you looked like you were going to rape me!" I whined and hugged my body.

He clicked his tongue and yanked his tie loose before patting his chest. "Your kick is deathly."

"Who wouldn't if they were going to be raped!?!!"

"I AM NOT GOING TO RAPE YOU!"

"BUT YOUR FACE!"

"I AM ALWAYS LIKE THIS!"

"HUWAAAA THEN YOU'RE A SERIAL RAPIST!"

"YANA!"

"NIJIMURA!"

"GO TO SLEEP!"

"GET OFF THE BED!"

"TSK!"

"DON'T TSK ME RAPIST!"

"STOP CALLING ME RAPIST! I'LL GET YOU TOMORROW YANA!"

"GOODNIGHT RAPIST!"

"YANA!"

"YES, NIJIMURA I LOVE YOU NOW GO BYEBYE!"

I pushed him off the bed and he left the room, grumbling to himself. Oh but tomorrow's gonna be fun!
