DESPITE THE NEWS of you and several other people you know getting targeted by a rivaling ring, you still went on the date with Maki. But, an uneasiness still settled in your stomach as you walked into a secluded restaurant.
Maki noticed your mood and how uneasy you were when she helped you out of the car. She saw you trying to hide it behind your mask, stepping closer and closer to her. You both walked inside, completely paranoid and not hiding it well enough for Maki not to notice.
Maki had never seen you like this ever. In interviews, in shows, on modeling gigs. Hell, even in the club when you completely destroyed those three guys. The new emotion triggered 'Worried Maki' and she even became paranoid.
At first, she thought you were just nervous about your date with her, and she knew that it could still be a plausible reason, but she knew you were paranoid about something or someone.
She didn't like it at all.
Maki pulled out a seat for you, smiling softly at you as you thanked her and sat down. Maki eyed your form, the tenseness in your shoulders gone since you were out of the public's eye.
You both were finally seated and you began bouncing your leg up and down out of habit. Y eyes scanned through the menu and still held nervousness in them.
Maki's jaw clenched and slighted softly.
"Y/N?" Maki's voice shook you out of your trance. You felt a hand rest on your bouncing leg, causing your leg to stop. You blinked and looked up to see Maki's worried face. Your stomach dropped at the sight and immediately felt like shit.
You had not said one word since she picked you up from your house.
You cursed yourself for doing so and immediately set your menu down.
You didn't even mention how utterly amazing she looked in her outfit. Maki was wearing an actual dress that you rarely ever see her wear. The dress was black with lace on the ends of the breast part of the dress. The dress had strings that were wrapped around her back like a spiderweb, the design was fairly gorgeous despite that. A large slit was on one side of the dress.
And to top it off, the necklace you gave her not too long ago decorated her neck.
"Oh my fucking god, I'm so sorry, Maki. I'm being a bitch right now.." You said quite loudly, but you weren't worried since you and Maki were the only ones who were in the restaurant.
Maki was nice enough to rent out the restaurant for the night, completely shocking you to the max. You didn't even acknowledge her for going so far as to rent out an entire fucking restaurant for you.
Yeah, you felt like absolute shit.
"No, it's okay. I was just worried. You seem really paranoid..did something happen?" Maki's voice was soft, but careful, making your heart flutter. Maki's hand on your leg went to your hand on the table, softly stroking your knuckles.
You bit your lip, debating if you should tell her or not.
It would be really shitty to hide such a tremendous thing from a person literally involved in the problem. It wouldn't be fair to your or anyone, especially if she was going to find out sooner or later anyway.
"Um..a detective stopped by my house today." You said, cleaning your throat and looking at Maki in her golden eyes, despite your shyness.
Maki's eyes widened and you heard her suck in a harsh breath. "What?" She breathed out.
"Yeah..a man named Detective Satoru. Apparently.." You trailed off, biting your lip. Maki squeezed your hand and smiled at you.
"It's okay, you don't have to tell me if you don't feel comfortable—"
"No, I need to." You said sternly, cutting Maki off. Maki's eyebrows rose and then furrowed back into concern. "The Zen'in clan is after me."
Maki gasped, blinking and squeezing your hand tighter. A frightened expression is written all over her face.
"But, they're not only after me, they are after you and Megumi as well. I've been paranoid because I don't know if someone has been watching." You said, making the level of your voice lower.
"Why Megumi?" Maki asked.
"Megumi is a relative of yours. He doesn't know. The detective is his guardian. Has been since he was little. Megumi's biological dad asked Satoru if he could take Megumi in, preventing him from becoming a Zen'in." You explained. The news brought shock and confusion to Maki's features.
"I'm not surprised they're after you," Maki stated suddenly, the frown on her face deepening.
"Me neither. They have been for a while now. Apparently, they've hired an underground hitman group to take care of the three of us. Possibly, everyone, we know as well." You clenched your free hand and bit your bottom lip, nearly drawing blood.
"It's okay. We'll figure out what to do." Maki stated, smiling softly. You smiled back and shook your head.
"Satoru is offering to help us all and prepare for everything. He said he already has a team and a plan on what to do." You explained, hoping Maki wouldn't be angry that you're fucking around and making plans with a cop.
But, she wasn't angry. "Good. Whatever it takes to keep everyone safe, I'm down. Especially, you. I'll kill my entire clan if they even land a finger on you or anyone else. But, I was already thinking about that anyway." Maki humored, causing you to shake your head and let out a small chuckle.
"Yeah, thank you, for understanding." You beamed at her, letting your teeth show. Maki's cheeks reddened and she coughed ever so slightly.
"Of course."
"Okay, now let's enjoy our date because I am starving." You stated, that hunger hit you immediately when you said that.
"Thank god. I was wondering when we'd actually be able to order drinks." Maki teased, causing you to laugh and roll your eyes.
"Shut up. Anyways, are we getting dessert?" You asked cocking your head to the side.
Maki looked at you and smirked, leaning forward a little in her chair, causing you to raise an eyebrow. You saw as her golden orbs traced over your body and her smirk only got bigger.
"I think I'll have dessert when we leave this restaurant."
