Money darlin'

"Oi, what's this? You tryin' to stiff me?" Mei glared at the delinquent in front of her after counting the cash.

His knees were shaking in fear. No. He didn't mean to. He already had the money, but unexpected things happened and it got stolen the moment he got home. He had some cash from his savings but it wasn't enough to pay her.

"I-I'm sorry! Akari-san I didn't mean to! I-"

"Damn it," She lowers her glasses to look him in the eye. Her voice was low, it wasn't like her to yell, but sometimes they'd wish she does. Because dealing with Mei truly is frightening.

I don't have time for this. She breathes out and signaled at the male beside her who was standing guard.

"Haruchiyo." His smile widens upon hearing his name. The other male trembled in fear as Sanzu grabbed his metal pipe and dragged him out of the den. Screams were heard outside, but it didn't matter. There's no more people in the area, or so she thought.

Today was the cut off, and also her last day. But she didn't tell anyone that. As far as she's concerned, they're all dead to her and she wanted to milk every last bit of money from them before she leaves.

"Oh come on, leave some for me." Mei glared at Koko when he tried to come closer to her towers of cash. The man only chuckled.

"You know he'd would be looking for you when you disappear. You're his favorite." The ash-blonde looked at him for a moment and took a thick amount of cash in rubber band and tossed it at him.

"That buys your silence." Kokonoi smirked before placing a quick kiss on the side of her head.

"Adios."

He was about to walk away when another thick cash came flying at his head. Koko's brow raised, Mei isn't this generous. Especially when it comes to money.

"That one buys your silence on Toman." She says, not bothering to glance at him once and just continues to work. A faint chuckle escaped his lips. Looks like she's really set on leaving everything behind.

"Noted, boss."

"Who the hell are you?" Mei raised a brow at his rude tone, but she was captivated the moment she laid eyes on his peculiar looks.

"Come on, Sakura don't be rude. This is Mei-chan, she's a part time here." Kotoha introduced the two. 

Mei puts down the mug and lowers her vintage-framed glasses as she leans towards the counter. She comes too close to his face while inspecting his features, it made Sakura blush madly.

"Are those real?" She asked. 

Those eyes...

"W-what the hell?! You wanna fight or something?!"Sakura instantly stepped back and puts his fists up. The girl chuckled softly which made his stop for a moment. 

"Sakura right?" She hopped on the counter and made her way towards him with an unnerving smile plastered on her face. 

She then lends her hand. "The name's Akari Mei."

Sakura contemplated if he should shake her hand, I mean who in this era even shakes hands anymore. But he didn't want to seem rude, so in the end he still took them.

"You have very pretty eyes." He was surprised when Mei suddenly pulled him closer and wrapped an arm around him.

"You wanna sell them? I'll give you fifty percent."

"No! A-are you crazy?!"

"Mei-chan stop trying to sell Sakura's body parts."

"Oh come on, you can make more than 600,000 yen on those babies."

"Get away from me you maniac!"
