Bad Boys and the Bitch (Bonten! Mikey X OC)

Dealing with fame, Finding Ben 10, and Failed Kidnapping

Author's note.

So here we are with the third chapter.

This is supposed to be Pace's POV but since she's a very chaotic person, I had to revise my draft 5 times before finally deciding that no, Pace can never have a POV of her own. The whole chapter will probably be filled with her babbling the most random things and wont settle to just one topic you'll all probably have a headache the way Takeomi did from the last chapter.

(Apologies for the cursing all throughout the chapter)
English is not my first Language so please apply tolerance on my grammatical errors.
Enjoy reading~

A day later,
East Shinjuku


Haitani Rindou is frustrated.


He's currently in Shinjuku with Kakuchou, scheduled to have an exchange with one of the gangs in their area. They mentioned they have something that Bonten will definitely want so Mikey immediately paired them together instead of his twin since he's busy being in charge over Sanzu today.

That schedule went off the hill though when upon getting down from their car, some people immediately noticed him, more annoyingly they recognized his suit.


"Oh! It's that Gucci guy!"

"Oh yeah, I think he's that angry one in Ropponggi."

"That mullet looks hot in him. Huh"


"Waah! He looks more handsome in person! Too bad Pace-chin said on TV that he's rude. That's such a turn off."




Some people started crowding him, with their phones out making his skin crawl. Rindou hates being surrounded by crowd, especially at an open space like this. But ever since their new-found fame by association to that psycho chibi, his life was never the same.


"He's with another guy! A new one huh? Whoaaa. Those scars look scary! But look, he's wearing a Tom Ford suit, for sure Pace will like him."

Kakucho who's beside him suddenly sighs at the unwanted attention. "Your face is gaining recognition. This is bad."

Wordlessly nodding to that statement, his companion sighs again. "You can't come with me at the meeting place then."

Immediately he starts to protest at that. How can he do his job as an Executive if he's not involved with their transactions?! "The fuck did you mean by that? Are you trying to isolate me?"


Kakuchou immediately raises both his hands in mock surrender. "Whoa, Rindou, chill. All I'm saying is, your face is still fresh on people's mind. Look around. If you didn't notice, people seem to stare to both of us. Specially you. They recognize you."


Rindou discreetly looked around while they maneuvered around the streets of Shinjuku and immediately noticed that some people are still looking his way. He even saw 3 women discreetly taking a photo of him with Kakuchou but one of them forgot to turn off the flash of her phone.

This is stupid.

Three strangers are even brave enough to tap his arm, asking for a fucking selfie. Smiling as fake & bright as possible to the camera, all that Rindou wants to do is bash his head to the nearest hard surface available at the sheer stupidity of his situation.

After nodding at them before saying goodbye, one of the teens asked him a question. "Are you planning to open a dorayaki store branch here?"


The fuck? Dorayaki store branch?

All he can do is blink trying to process how to answer the weird question. Thankfully, he got saved from answering by Kakuchou who answered at his stead.


"We're still scouting the area for that, but if you would suggest which do you think will be the best spot?"


Ah! That joke-of-a-tough-10 interview! He finally got the reference.

There's an excited murmur from the teens upon hearing this then after a few discussions they told them what they think is a prime area. Nodding as if actually considering their suggestion, Kakuchou nudges Rindou who smiles at his so called "fans" again to say goodbye.


Before they completely leave though, the fan taps Rindou again.

What again?! He screams internally.

The fan gives him a calling card. "I'm actually owner of one of your popular fan pages on twitter. If you have social media account, will you follow us? It would mean a lot. Really. Thank you!" The teen bows and he's left with a weird name card and a frown in his face.

"@Purpleguccigang huh? Not bad." Kakuchou chuckles as he reads the card given to him.


The purple part seems to be a reference to the color of his suit that fucking night.


Since when did I become a sissypus celebrity like this?! The fuck?


"Don't start with me. Fuck. This is bad."


He's a Bonten executive for fucks sake! He internally screams to himself. He seems to do that a lot these past few days. Quickly managing to sort his thoughts and turned to Kakuchou.


"What's the plan then?"
Quickly switching to business mode, the Bonten number 3 spoke. "We should part ways from here. You need to go to that prime area that your fans suggested and pretend to check it while I go meet that small time gang using our name. That way you will divert the people's attention to something else. Yourself. We also need to keep up with our appearances now, especially since that crazy girl from the TV has put up a weird front for us to work on. Weird, but manageable."

Needing no other explanations after that, Rindou nods to Kakuchou then proceeds to go to the opposite direction. Some people are still staring at him, he can feel it but he tries hard to ignore them and walks until he gets in front of his a quaint taiyaki store in East Shinjuku.

Upon entering the store, Rindou is immediately reminded of a small psychotic noisy midget he met 8 days ago. Noting that at the interview last night, Taiyaki seems to be her favorite food.

"Taiyaki. Anytime of the day."


Realizing he's thinking about her, he quickly shakes his head. Erase! Erase! He knows it'll just give him headache.

Ordering a taiyaki and tea at the counter, Rindou decided that asking wont hurt so he spoke to the old lady preparing food in front of him.

"Ano, excuse me?" The grandma answered "yes? Do you need anything?"

"Do you know any dorayaki place near this area that's for sale or is on the state of closing?"

The old lady seemed taken aback by an unusual question but quickly leans into him as if whispering. "I don't think that's a good idea young man."


That intrigued him. "What do you mean?"


"You're trying to buy a dorayaki store near here, aren't you?" He nods at the question, pretending to play along. "Rumor is, somebody already purchased all the dorayaki stores from this district."

Odd.

"But then the next day, the rumor expanded and said it that the very same person also purchased all the dorayaki stores from neighboring districts too. By the end of the week, the narrative is that they bought all the stores in the whole prefecture."

That kind of information immediately puts an alarm in Rindou's head. While it has nothing to do with their underground transactions, someone with that kind of purchasing power is usually is flagged immediately by Koko on their meetings.

"Do you know the one who bought them?"


At that question, the grandma laughs at him as she gives his order. "I don't know if you'll believe this, but when I asked one store owner that I knew of, all they said is it's named to someone called "Hottie."

Rindou falls silent after that.

Munching his taiyaki at the corner counter, he wonders why the way those dorayaki stores are purchased seem familiar to him.

"Oh I assure you, I can buy you, your friends and every fucking Dorayaki store for the whole prefecture. Or this country."

He got a sudden flashback of that scene from 8 days ago.

"Ah, I'll name them all for you Hottie if you like. It's not like Dorayaki is my favorite food anyway. I prefer taiyaki, thank you very much."

Eyes widening at the sudden realization, Rindou wonders if that girl is really crazy or not.   Probably the latter one. He thought she was joking that time. Damn.

"If it's really her, then damn. Boss is a dorayaki-llionaire." He snorted at the new term he coined. Reminding himself to ask for Koko to check it later, his thoughts stray back to the damned little psycho bitch.

She arrived like a whirlwind to their life and managed to turn it upside down in more ways than they can even imagine. She's definitely an enigma. And it seems like a lot of members are drawn to her especially their leader. Rindou never saw their leader get so whipped to a stranger in less than a day much more the whole time they were together in the gang, but it seems like Mikey got wrapped around that psycho bitch's pretty little finger.

A sudden sound of door chime ringing had him checking out who went it but his brows rose up when he saw 3 men wearing what seems like a gang uniform arguing pretty loudly.


"I think she said the matcha flavor idiot." Said a green haired guy.


That earned him a hit in the head by a blue haired one.

"I'm pretty sure it's the chocolate one, doofus."

"Are you both stupid? Didn't you remember what she said to us?" exclaimed the small guy with them.

"No? What is it?" Idiot Number 1 asked.

Seemingly impersonating another person, the small guy posed with arms folded, brows raised and right feet impatiently tapping in front of him.

"I want the red bean, custard and chocolate flavored ones only. If you three get me the wrong ones I'll ask my boyfriend's men to kill you on the spot. Or maybe I'll just sic you three to Ugly. That horrendous Gucci suit of him needs to be stained by blood anyway." Then finishes the sentence with a flip on hair.

That definitely got Rindou's attention. The pose seems familiar enough but what really got his attention is the use of "Gucci" on that statement. (He's ignoring the Ugly part) It definitely feels like something that a small mouthy girl that he knows of would say. But the question is, how is she acquainted with these idiots?

Idiot number 1 & 2 seems to pause at their companion's impersonation then they burst out laughing.

"Puwahhahhahhahahha, you definitely got her mannerisms right! Come on! We need to order her food before that girl throws tantrums."

"Oh yeah, Im scared" Idiot number 2 fake pretends to bite his nails "My boyfriend is part of Ben10. So, you should be scared." Pursing his lips the same way as Pace does, Rindou wants to gag at the sight.

Ew.

At that line, idiot number 1 and small guy bursts out of laughter again. "PWahahahahhahaha, Ben10. HAHAHAHHAHAHAH" they almost got tears to their eyes.

Rindou wants to punch the day lights out of these idiots at that. Are they laughing at their organization's reputation? But wait, he remembered the name that they mentioned.


Ben 10? Was it supposed to be their name?  Bonten? The fuck?


Did that psycho bitch just mistake their name to that alien hero TV show? How did they even got hold of her?

Still unsure on how to proceed, he pretends to use his phone as he listens to their conversation. They certainly are a noisy bunch.

The small guy immediately went to the counter to order the said flavors of taiyaki while the other two spoke with each other.

"Hey, you know, my sister is a fan of that girl." Idiot number 1 spoke suddenly

"Who?"

"That girl at our hideout, Pace."

"Ahhhh. And?"

"My sister sent me this bunch of numbers, asking me to help decipher it with her. Something about unfolding the identity of Pace-sama's boyfriend as she told me."


"Really? She's putting up quizzes on national TV now?" Idiot numer 2 asks scratching his head.


"No idiot. Just a clue from an interview last night. It was pretty intense you know."


Oh yeah, Rindou remembered. That interview and how it ended was also too intense their conference room almost got destroyed last night.  He's never seen Mikey so livid and mad at them after he might as well exile the executives for the whole year and they won't complain.



*Flashback*


"Hello Baby."


Mikey's voice rang just as the same line was muttered in the studio.


There's been a pause in the audience as the crowd waited for Pace to reply.


At the conference room, Mikey has put his phone in a loud speaker while staring in front of him hands crossed. He's waiting at the other side to answer.


A pause, then suddenly a man's voice spoke.


"Uhm, apologies sir! My name is not baby! This is from ***** dorayaki store? Your number was given as contact for my delivery. I am currently outside your building and unable to get in since the guards won't let me. I am looking for a person named Frigid Pink and I would like to ask if he's available to receive his order? Is he present?"

All eyes of the people from the conference room went on to Sanzu who was seated frigidly at his seat.

Their leader's eyes are staring at him, deadly and hollow. Rindou could've sworn he saw Sanzu's  life flash through his eyes at that moment.


After a beat, Mikey, Bonten's Leader, Sanzu's King, wiped his face with his hand eyes closed with contempt.


"Explain." He told him with a dead tone.

Not paying attention to the interview anymore all of them waited for him to speak.

Sanzu who's panicking, blubbered out. "M- my- k-ki-king. You told me you'd like to have dorayaki before the Tough 10 interview started. So, I ordered online for the delivery."


"And you used your pseudonym to order?" a nod. "Why did you give my number?"


"Uh.... B-b-because it's your dorayaki???"


Needless to say, Sanzu almost lost his position at number 2 after that. The interview was forgotten and no one knew who the other person on Pace's call is. All they know is, Mikey is pissed off as he stormed out their conference room.


*Flashback Ends*


Rindou was brought back from reminiscing by the voice of the small guy.

"We need to go. The boss called. The VIP arrived at the base and he wants us to feed the girl again before handing her over."

Upon hearing this, Rindou finally decided that he'll rescue the girl. Not because he cares about her or anything. Don't get him wrong. But if their boss finds out his ladylove was taken by a smalltime gang right under his territory, he'll probably get more moodier than he is now.

We all don't want that to happen.

Anything for Mikey the executives will do. He's been through enough already. They just want him to be happy.


Even if his happiness comes from a 4'10 sized potty mouth, rude little bitch.

Standing up, he follows the 3 idiots navigating to different alleys in Shinjuku until the three stopped in front of a club where he and Kakuchou is supposed to meet the gang that's told them they have something valuable for Bonten.


Do they mean her?

He enters the vicinity and was immediately and was immediately stopped by the bouncer.

"Authorized personnel only sir. We're still closed."

Glaring at the guy, he flashes a smirk at chins up at them. His tattoo immediately showing, the bouncer seems to recover from shock and bows deep as he immediately opens the door for him. "Apologies sir. Kakuchou san is already inside. I'll assist you to his location."


"No need. I can find him on my own." He glowers at him. "And you haven't earned the right to even walk the same pace as me."

"I am sorry again!"

Walking past the bouncer, he's welcomed by a wide space with a bar on the right side and lounges on the opposite direction. He immediately saw Kakuchou who was talking with a guy with a big smirk on his face. He definitely doesn't like that look.

"I thought you're scouting the area?" Kakuchou, who was surprised to see him asks as he walks near them.


Before he can speak, a clicking of heels was heard as a person walks near them.

Upon turning, Rindou recognizes her immediately followed up by the 3 idiots from the store.


"Oh? Hey! I know that suit!" She waves her hands as she walks near them.

"Yoohoo! Ugly! Ugly! Turn your face in front of me you Gucci loving fucker!" She yells in front of Rindou's face.

Immediately the other guys divert their attention to her.

Rindou's patience immediately snaps.

"The fuck did you just say you Psycho chibi?! And what the heck are you doing at this shady place?!"

The girl in question seems to roll her eyes at the nickname given to her. "Remind me to ask for your address later so that my insurance company could send you a letter. You are testing my tolerance for height related nicknames this past few days." She huffs. "Anyway, apparently I'm a hostage here."

Upon hearing that, his hands immediately went to his waist to draw his gun just as Kakuchou's did but the three idiots behind her raised their hands as sign of surrender.

"No! No! This is not a kidnapping sir! We only took her since she seems lost and was asking for some gang named BEN10 on the streets! We don't know any BEN10 gang in area so we brought her to our boss here who then decided to just give her to your gang to go to the leader!" Idiot number 3 answers the question.

Idiot 1 & 2 nods eagerly at that. "Yeah, yeah! And she went with us without objections anyway!"

Kakuchou who can't believe the situation in front of him looks at Pace for confirmation of the guy's statement. "Is what they're saying true miss?"

The girl in question seems to think about it a bit, hands on her chin while frowning.


Seems like a habit huh.  Rindou thought to himself.

"Ah! That's why you gave me a taiyaki when you called me here!" she said to the guys who still have their hands up. They immediately nod at her like eager dogs. "That's true. That's true. We plan to give you to them so that you can contact whoever you're looking is to Bonten."

"Bonten? The fuck is that? I remember saying BEN10 right!?"  shaking her head, she still frowns at them though as she pouts then looks at her surroundings. "You should've told me though. I mean you won't let me leave this place after we entered my gosh! I was worried! Also, you made me sit in a wooden chair which looks old as fuck by the way, I don't even know which type of wood it's made of but it certainly isn't a comfortable one. Look! It scrunched up my Prada skirt! Not only that, what's up with the dingy basement below anyway? So cheap."

Rindou can see Kakuchou's brows ticking at his peripheral and he could feel an impending headache going through him as he continues to listen her rants.

Here we go again.

"Release her." Kakuchou commanded these idiots while pinching his nose.

They immediately left her side to stand behind their boss who is silent all throughout the ordeal.

"Give us a fucking reason why we shouldn't kill all of you right now." Kakuchou stared at the large faced leader and 3 idiots with a threatening tone.

Instead of letting the guys answer though Pace immediately walks in front of the new guy, eyeing his scar and his style up and down while ignoring Rindou. She then offers him her hand with a bright smile.


"Hello! Thank you for saving me! I'm L/N F/N but you can call me-"


She didn't get to finish as Kakucho interrupts her "Pace, I know. Nice to meet you, I guess. Now can you sit first miss? We got a gang issue that needs to be addressed before we bring you back."


Blinking in shock at being interrupted the girl quickly composed herself.

"You're very fucking rude. I'm not yet done introducing myself." She rolls her eyes on him then shrugs her shoulders. "But I forgive you, I like your suit. Tom Ford never fails to impress." She then raises her brows to Rindou's direction. "Unlike others out there who seem to think that just because people in social media praised his looks, doesn't mean that purple patterned suits look good on them."

Son of a- Rindou tries to regulate his breathing to control his temper. As much as he wants to shove the girl down like before, he doesn't want to lose his cool in front of strangers.

And certainly, don't want to explain to her insurance company too.


"Still as bitchy as ever I see." He calmly replied.

Glaring at him, she turns back her attention to Kakuchou.

"As I was saying, My name's L/N F/N. You can call me Pace." She paused a bit then continued. "Powerful, brave, beautiful as fuck, sexy as hell-" She didn't get to finish her introduction for the second time when the large faced leader of the 3 idiots interrupts her.

"I agree with sexy as hell." They all turned to look at him. He winks to Pace's direction and offers her his hand. "Ibusaki Subaru. I'm the head of the Shinjuku East bikers club. Nice to meet you."

Pace looks stressed as she folds her arms and bitchily looks at Ibusaki's still stretched out hands in front of her. "One of the things I hate the most is being interrupted when I'm talking."


Pot meet kettle immediately pops up in Rindou's mind. He tries to cover his snort at the irony of the situation.

"And you, Mr. Large faced gang leader wannabe, are not allowed to speak to me, look at me or even come close to me until I'm done."

Kakuchou finally getting fed up with all the nonsense he was put up with for the last 10 minutes snaps.

"We're going." Turning his head to the 3 idiots he warns them. "Any word about this situation from other people and your face will immediately be in the news, heads separated to your body. Got it?"


The three nods as they shake their leader out from stupor.


Not happy with the situation Pace tries to glare at him but Rindou's already dragging her at the exit.


Shrugging his arms touching her, the psycho chibi then proceeds to walk ahead of them.


Rindou whispers to Kakuchou's direction as they walk. "Do you plan to bring her to the base?"

Nodding at his question, he answers back. "I don't think she'll shut up if just leave her somewhere and it'll be riskier. With her asking that fucked up version of our Organization's name, who knows what kind of gang she'll attract more to her attention." Rindou understands what he meant by that.

The less people finding out about her connection to Bonten, the less chances of their gang being dug out from underground.

"Plus." Kakuchou adds. "Who knows, she might fix back Mikey's mood."

"Before thinking about that, I'm more worried of our drive back to the base."

"Why? You're afraid it might expose our hideout?"


"No, I'm afraid I might strangle her if she can't shut her mouth."

At that, Kakuchou laughs at him then raises his hand which is carrying a plastic with the logo of taiyaki place he went before.

Ah, the food those 3 idiots bought.


"Good thing I took this, no?"

Chuckling at his ingenuity, they immediately stopped when they heard her voice.


"Oh my god?!"

Running immediately to her location, they saw her staring at the mirror near the exit.

"What? What's wrong chibi bitch?" Rindou asks.

Ignoring his question and the nickname he gave her, the girl still stared at the mirror flipping her hair and touching her face.

"Oh my god?!" she exclaims again as if fascinated to see her face for the first time. "I'm so pretty!" fixing her hair, she then patted the wrinkles on her clothes and fixed the zip of her jacket.


Acting as if nothing happened, she turns at Kakuchou.


"Let's go?"


Fuck. This will be a hellish drive.


Rindou prays after.
