Her Shooting Star

Chapter 7: Nanami's Sister

"What are you doing?!" Mayu screamed. "I'm not doing anything!" Yuki replied angrily as she rubbed her aching butt.

"Y-Your face is this close to mine, yet you dare say that you are not doing anything?!" Mayu said as she tried to demonstrate the distance between their faces. "Are you nuts? I'm just trying to pull back your hair because I found you sleeping after I came back and I was about to put you to your damn bed when you suddenly fell over me!"

Mayu was about to say something when they heard a knock on the door. "Mayu-sama! Is everything alright?" Their butler asked. Yuki glared at her as if trying say "Don't say anything stupid!"  Mayu glared back at her before speaking. "Yes! Don't worry. You can go back to work now." Mayu said then she turned to Yuki. "And you! Get out of my room you pervert!"

"What?! Did you just call me a pervert?" Yuki asked angrily. "Yes. And now get out of my room."

"I should've known from the start that a spoiled brat like you will surely be annoying. I shouldn't have agreed to be your driver if I will be branded as pervert. I should just go back and take care of my sister." Yuki said as she stood up.

"Y-you have a sister?" Mayu asked. "Yes. Just for your information, I agreed to be your personal driver not because I am afraid that you will turn me to the police, but because of my sister. Now if you'll excuse me. I'm out of this place. Go look for another fool who will agree to be your driver."

"That kid really, if I know I wouldn't have accepted her offer back then." Yuki said as she slammed the door.

"Is everything alright?" Their butler asked, the moment he saw Yuki came out of Mayu's room. "Yeah. It's just that your master seems to woke up at the wrong side of the bed." She replied. Yuki then walked out of the mansion as the butler quietly watched over her.

Mayu came out of her room looking irritated but stopped when she saw all the plastic bags at the counter top. "What are those?" She asked. "These are the things that you asked Kashiwagi-san to buy for you earlier." The butler replied. Mayu walked towards them and one by one she takes them out. "So, she managed to get everything from the list that I gave her." She said.

Yuki walked aimlessly along the streets, not sure where to go. She's actually pretty tired but her anger needs to subside if she wants to go back. Suddenly her phone rings. "Hello?"

"Yuki-chan," said the voice from the other line. "Matsumura."

"Glad you can still recognize my voice."

"What do you want?" Yuki asked trying not to sound irritated. "I haven't seen you in the club for a while now. Don't think of trying to run away, alright?"

"I'm not running away. I just found a new target and this one, I will get a lot of money."

"Just make sure of it and don't ever try to run away from me, because I can always find you or better yet, I will just go to your precious little sister for the payment."

"I told you not to involve my sister in this."

"Easy there Yuki-chan. I'm just trying to remind you."

Yuki hung up the phone and continued walking while there's a figure watching her from a far.

"Nanami! Dinner is ready!" Sasshi said as she placed the side dishes on the table. Nanami spread her arm to look for her cane. A smile drew on her face when she finally found it. She held it tight and she stood up and used it as a guide to go to the kitchen.

"Careful." Sasshi said as she helped her sit on the stool. "You don't want to have another accident and have your sister worried." She continued.

"I know." Nanami replied as she placed her cane to the side and her hand starts to roam on the table to look for the spoon. "Here." Sasshi grabs the spoon and placed it on Nanami's hand.

"Thank you."

Suddenly, Sasshi's phone rings. "Hello?"

"Sasshi, it's me."

"Yuki! Where have you been?"

"Just working out of town. How's Nanami?" Yuki asked. "She's doing fine, don't worry."

Yuki sighed. "That's good to hear. Anyways, don't ever leave her alone okay? As much as possible please always remain by her side."

"Whoa. Yuki! Stop. You sound like you are already giving your final orders. Of course I won't leave her. She's already like a sister to me."

"I'm just saying."

Sasshi glanced at Nanami who was busy eating her dinner before she walked further and talked quietly on the phone. "Is this because of that Matsumura guy?" She asked. Yuki fell quiet on the other line. "Is he threatening you with your sister? Seriously when I see him I'm going to kick his damn face!"

"Hey, can you keep it down? Nanami might hear you!" Yuki scolded. "Sasshi-onee-chan? Is everything alright?" Nanami asked as she was about to get up. "Yes! Don't worry. Just keep on eating." She replied. "But.." "Dont worry Nanami. Nothing is wrong. Just continue with your dinner. Just tell me if you want more, okay?"

"See? I told you!" Yuki said angrily. "Alright! Relax. But seriously if that guy is threatening you, just tell me. You don't have to deal with this alone."

"I know. Just please, look after my sister for me."

"Yeah. Don't worry. I will protect her."
