Her Shooting Star

Chapter 15: Yuki's Fear

"So that's why she wants to do everything in fast pace... Because... her time is running out..." Yuki thought as she looked at Mayu.

It's already past midnight when they arrived at the hospital in Tokyo where Rena works.

Rena went in first to accompany Mayu as they are about to perform a number of tests on her to ensure her condition. Yuki was about to enter as well when her phone rings.

"Hello, Sasshi?"

"Where have you been? I've been trying to reach for hours now!"

"Sorry, some emergency happened. Why? What's the matter?" Yuki asked.

"That bastard Matsumura," Yuki felt cold upon hearing that name. "He came here with a bunch of guys and he asked for you and then they broke everything in the house, saying that you won't be able to escape from him." Sasshi said angrily.

"And Nanami? Is she alright? Did they hurt the both of you?" Yuki asked worriedly. "No, they weren't able to lay a hand on her but she's still in shock and she kept on crying until she fell asleep."

"Don't worry Sasshi, I'm going there now and I'll try to get you away from there." Yuki said before she hung up but before she could move, she saw a familiar face standing in front of her.

"M-Matsumura?" she muttered as she stepped back.

"Yo!" Matsumura said with a smirk as he twirl the lollipop in his mouth. He walked towards her and Yuki couldn't do anything but to step back.

"Long time no see, Yuki-chan."

"How did you find me?" Yuki asked. "That doesn't matter. I already told you, there's no place that I won't be able to go when it comes to you. I will always find you."

"What did you do at our house?! I already told you not to involve my sister in this mess!" Yuki said angrily. "Oh, so it already reached you huh?" He said with a smirk. "I just had a little fun at your house. This is what happens when you try to escape from me, Yuki-chan."

"You bastard!" She said as she slapped him hard, making him throw the lollipop from his mouth. Yuki was about to slap him again but he was able to catch her hand and held it tight as he pulled her close to him. "That hurts you know." He said before he grabbed her face hard.

"Let go of me!" She said as she struggled from his hold.

"Try to escape from me once again and I will not only break everything from your house but I will take your sister as payment!"

"I... I already t-told you, I'm not trying to escape! I found a perfect prospect and after this I will pay you. Never try to hurt my family again or you won't get the money!"

"Is that suppose to threaten me? You are not in the position to give threat. Remember, I have your life as well as the people around you in my hands. One wrong move and I'll kill them all. Especially your sister and that young girl that has been with you lately!"

"No! Not them! They have nothing to do with this!" Yuki begged as she try to free herself, tears already falling from her eyes.

"Kashiwagi-San!"

Rena just finished checking on the dextrose attached on Mayu who was now lying inside the Intensive Care Unit.

"What am I supposed to do with you?" Rena sighed. "Please, for once, stop being stubborn for your own sake." She continued before she left the room.

Rena was already expecting Yuki to be waiting outside the ICU but to her surprise, the girl wasn't there. "Did she left already?"

-----

Rena kept on walking, looking for Yuki until she found her outside the hospital but was shocked to her struggling from the hold of some unknown man. Rena called the head of the security of the hospital. "Get the other guards and follow me." She said.

When the guards arrived, she went towards them and signalled the guards to surround the man. "Kashiwagi-san!" She called, making the two looked at her.

The man laughed as he turned to Yuki. "Your new friend?" he asked.

"Let go of her!" Rena ordered. "And what if I don't?"

Rena immediately signalled the guards to attack him. The guards went to him, making him throw Yuki in order for him to escape.

"Kashiwagi-san!" Rena rushed towards her while the guards went after him.

"We're not yet done Yuki!" He shouted as he flee.

-----

"Are you alright?" Rena asked as she escort Yuki inside the hospital. "Yeah." Yuki answered shortly. Rena ushered her to the bench and help her sit down.

"Who was that guy earlier?" Rena asked but Yuki didn't answer. She was staring down blankly as the tears flow from her eyes. "was  he threatening you?" She asked again.

"R-Rena-san, I'm sorry but I need to go see my sister now. He... He might do something bad again to them and... And I need to go there to make sure they're safe." Yuki said in panic but Rena held her down.

"Calm down, Kashiwagi-san. I can help you."

"No, you don't understand. That guy is not an ordinary person. I need to go now!" Yuki tried to get up but Rena was too strong.

"Alright, I will let you go but you need to tell me everything. I will help you. I'm sure if Mayu's awake, this is what she's going to say as well. Please, let us help you." Rena said with sincerity. Yuki looked at her and saw the sincerity in her eyes so she told her everything.

-----

"I can't let you drive at this hour. At least take the driver with you and take my car. And here's the key to our vacation house. It's safe there so feel free to take your sister there with you. I will tell Jurina to get everything ready for you when you arrived there. " Rena said as she handed her the key to their vacation house.

" Thank you Rena-San. You're too kind. I don't know how I will be able to repay you. "

Rena shook her head." No. I should be the who should be thanking you for taking care of Mayu. Take it as my way of showing you my gratitude."

"Alright. Thank you again. And I will come back as soon as my sister has settled down in your house." Yuki said before she entered the car. "When Mayu, wakes up, please tell her that I will comeback. No, I will come back before she wakes up."
