chapter 9 : crimson roses

flashback 2 years ago

getting off the car confidently walking to the inland depot along with ran and rindo where the bonten meeting is held.

"we have a new member, hana yuri" mikey announced as he sat on the steel shipping container.

the mini dress you wore hugged around your hour glass shape waisted perfectly, everyone can't get their eyes of you. especially haruchiyo.

"hey pretty doll, the names sanzu haruchiyo" haruchiyo came closer, fondling your soft lips with his thumb.

"or... akashi haruchiyo" he whispered.

"hey handsome" you flirted back, caressing his scars that you noticed earlier, he happened to noticed your scars too.

"sanzu get off from her" ran nagged, being way to overprotective again.

"ran relax, look at them. who knows they'll end up together" kokonoi replied.

"tsk" ran grabbed your wrist and pulled you behind his back.

the meeting wasn't that long since it's just introduction. haruchiyo won't stop observing you from afar so you gave him a wink making the corner of his mouth lifted.

ran gritted his teeth after noticing what the two of you were doing, rindo had to calm him down.

"she'll be dealing with the killings, bodies and a little help with the shipments" mikey continued.

"from now on, yuri will be partnering up with haruchiyo"

a playful grin spread across haruchiyo's face, walking towards your direction pulling you back from ran.

"she's mine now ran, come on darl let's go we have shittons of jobs to do. we'll be back mikey" resting his arms on your shoulders, guiding you to his car.

ran did expect you to be partnering up with haruchiyo, but he's worried about your safety plus the awful things he might do to you. even though your strong enough to protect yourself but still, he wouldn't want that to happen to his sister.

"IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO HER YOU'RE A DEAD MAN HARUCHIYO!!!" ran blustered.

"YEAH YEAH SHE'LL BE FINE WITH ME"

the evening sun cast long shadows on the ground, the slanting rays of the setting sun gave a warm orange tinge to the sky.

cars coming from multiple directions on the busy streets, thousands of people roaming around in tokyo districts.

"where are we going?" you asked looking at the bright street lights.

"you'll see"

"you're so slow, drive faster"

"oh so my partner likes it fast huh? then i'll make it fast till you puke" pressing on the gas pedal, the engine roared through the streets.

because on how fast you guys were going, ended up reaching the destination 30 minutes earlier.

you got out of the car, wandering around the abandon place which seems like their hideout. meanwhile haruchiyo was standing there blankly feeling dizzy.

"tch you're so weak, come on let's get going" you babbled.

walking down the metal stairs that leads to the basement, revealing a man who was tied up on to a chair.

"stole our drugs and sell it on the streets" holding your waist, he hands you his gun.

"i got my own gun" you pulled out yours from your holster approaching the man.

"any last words?" tilting the man's head up with the tip of your gun.

before he could say anything you shoot him right in the head, the sound of the bullet echoed through the basement.

"you've done this before?"

"i'm an assassin"

"now i get it why you're partnering up with me, i like you already" he laughs.

"judging by the way you looked at me earlier, of course you do" you gave him an innocent smile.

he softly stroked your hair, leaning closer giving you a kiss on the forehead.

"good luck on disposing the bodies, imma wait outside" he took out a small plastic bag, gulping down the pills walking up the stairs.

once you're done disposing the bodies, you walked out from the building only to see him leaning on his car smoking.

"i'll drive, you're slow" you giggled.

"hold on slow down slow down!!!" grabbing the handle, haruchiyo felt like vomiting. the drugs he took previously is still in his system, making it worse.

"relax, we're not gonna die" you can't stop laughing at the way he looked so terrified holding the car handles.

ran worrying about you because of haruchiyo? nah, it should be the other way round.

coming back to your new penthouse from your first day of work at the office, a bouquet of crimson roses was laying on the table. a note was attached on the bouquet too.

"you did a great job darl. here's a gift and welcome to bonten - haruchiyo"

you can't help but to smile looking at the note he had written. out of the blue, the door bell rang.

you opened the door revealing haruchiyo standing infront of you.

"do you like the gift?" wrapping his hands around your waist.

"i love it" you whispered, enough to let him hear you clearly.

"i never bought flowers for anyone before so i was worrying what if you don't like it"

"well red's my favorite colour" cherishing the bouquet of roses, you took it out placing it into a clear vast.

those crimson roses that he gave was the first decoration in your penthouse. you haven't bought anything yet since you're busy.

"i'm glad" a pinkish tinge appeared on his face.

"hey, do you wanna watch movies and maybe get to know each other more? we're going to be partners forever after all." walking towards to your television, you picked up the remote searching for movies.

"forever?" haruchiyo queried, hands resting on the kitchen counter.

"perhaps, who knows" you shrugged.

"disney movies?"

"isn't that for kids?" he pondered.

"you don't have a choice we're watching it" you grabbed your blanket, holding his hands pulling him to the sofa.

surprisingly, he ended up liking it but won't stop complaining about the plot because he doesn't understand it.

"ew why did she kissed the frog that's so gross what the fuck!!!"

you guys spend almost the whole night watching movies and sharing each other's past.

contemplate the serene night sky aglow with the luminous city lights, sequin silver stars dazzling like scattered moon dust in the sky.

you soon fell asleep in haruchiyo's arms.
