Toxic Romance

Chapter 39

"I'm...Malori Taniguchi?" Mitsuko asked as she trembled
What the hell is going on today?
"Relax I know it's shocking at first but...you can't deny it. You are me..." Malori said
"This can't be true..." Mitsuko said
"Well believe it little Taniguchi. Besides...I helped you back there" Malori said
"But why did you save me?' Mitsuko asked
"I wasn't going to waste my life just like that. There is someone out there that I just wanted to see" Malori said as she smiled
"Is it...Matsuri?" Mitsuko asked
"Miaseakuu..." Malori said
"Miawho?" Mitsuko asked
"Miaseakuu is your mate or...well that Matsuri girl" Malori said
"Who the fuck is Miaseakuu?" Mitsuko asked
"Matsuri..." Malori said
"Wh-what? What's going on?" Mitsuko asked
Is this what happened to Matsuri last night? What did father tell her to search up?
"Listen little bitch. You are me. I am you. Your real name is Malori" Malori said. Mitsuko only walked to the desk and sat down
My brain needs to process all this...
"Wait...what about Mei?" Mitsuko asked
"Hm? Ah our beloved Aihara? Hehe...let's talk about this when we reunite" Malori said as her body turned into a shadowy figure
"Where the hell are you going?!" Mitsuko exclaimed
"Bye bye" Malori giggled and vanished. Mitsuko felt everything go black and passed out
"Hey Mitsuko. Wake up damnit"
Mitsuko groaned and blinked a few times
Wh-what? Wait! What happened?!
"Earth to Mitsuko" Henrik said
"A-ah Henrik..." Mitsuko said
"Did you sleep well last night?" Henrik asked
"Y-yeah I did" Mitsuko said as she rubbed her head
Ouch...
"Are you sure about that? I found you here asleep. You must be tired or something..." Henrik said
"No. I'm not" Mitsuko said
"Had too much fun last night?" Henrik asked
"H-henrik" Mitsuko growled as her face redden
"Just joking. Here" Henrik said as he handed her a folder
"What the hell is this?" Mitsuko asked
"Dunno but that Estella bitch told me to give it to you..." Henrik said
"Estella?" Mitsuko asked
"Yes..." Henrik said. Mitsuko looked at the file and looked back at him
"No..." Mitsuko said
"Hm? You don't want to see what's inside?" Henrik asked
"Do you know what's inside?" Mitsuko asked
"No. I didn't look inside" Henrik said
"I have a bad feeling about it..." Mitsuko said
"I can take it back if you want..." Henrik said
"No...actually...I'll keep it. Maybe even take a peek..." Mitsuko said
"Okay. I'll be going" Henrik said as he walked away. Mitsuko looked at the folder and let out a deep sigh
Whatever it is...it's all a lie. Keep that in mind...
Mitsuko opened the folder and her eyes widen. She gripped the folder tightly and gritted her teeth
It's a lie...right? Aihara wouldn't do this bullshit...
"Hm? What is it?" Malori asked
"You again?" Mitsuko asked
"Just checking up on my little girl" Malori said
"What the hell?" Mitsuko growled
"Oh..? Hehe Min had some fun with another bitch..." Malori said
"Wh-who?" Mitsuko asked
"Find out yourself. I may help you but...I'm only helping you get strong. Not guide you or shit like that..." Malori said and vanished. Mitsuko looked at the picture and leaned back in her chair
It's fake...it has to be...because if something like this happened...then they would've told me right? We always tell the truth...
"Hey bitch..." Mitsuko said. That's when Mitsuko felt a tap on her shoulder
"Yes?" Malori asked as she giggled
"You said...you helped me with my strength right?" Mitsuko asked
"Huh? I said that?" Malori asked as she smiled
"Bitch...shut up" Mitsuko growled
"Hehe what does my little girl need?" Malori asked. Mitsuko stood up holding the folder and stormed out of the room
I'm killing that bitch for good. I had enough of her bullshit...
The employees looked at their computer while Mitsuko passed by them. All the sudden they heard a slam as Mitsuko opened the door
"Estella! What is this bullshit?!" Mitsuko exclaimed as she held the folder
"What about it?" Estella asked
"This is bullshit! Stop putting ideas in my god damn head!" Mitsuko said and threw the folder
"Maybe Aihara-san wasn't being honest..." Estella said
"Shut up! She's changed!" Mitsuko said
"And since when did you two get along?" Estella asked
"Shut up you stupid bitch" Mitsuko said as she walked up to her. Estella only laughed a little as she stood up
"Challenging the top Alpha again little girl?" Estella asked
"Stop calling yourself top Alpha. You're not worthy of being top Alpha" Mitsuko said
"Hey! What the hell is going on?" Henrik asked as he stepped inside the office
"Tell this bitch to fuck off and leave me alone" Estella said
"Stop fucking up my relationship!" Mitsuko said
"Why on earth would I want to ruin your disgusting threesome?" Estella asked
"The two of you bet-"
"Shut up Henrik! This is none of your business" Mitsuko hissed. Henrik flinched and sighed
Shit...this is going to end terribly bad
"Stop trying to stop her. Let the little girl fight" Estella said
"Little girl? Stop talking bullshit" Mitsuko growled
"Jeez calm down" Estella said
Damn she's fucking pissed. I never thought that picture would piss her off that much...
"Explain yourself already damnit" Mitsuko said
"Stop it!" Henrik said as he walked up to them and stood between them
"Get the fuck out" Mitsuko growled
"This is none of your business big bro" Estella said
"Estella...just fucking get out of this place. Go home" Henrik said
"What? Why should I? Just let the little bitch fight" Estella said
"Shut the hell up" Henrik growled
"Fuck off!" Estella said. Mitsuko only glared at her cousin and growled
I'll murder you...
Mitsuko ran up to her and punched her across the face
"Mitsuko!" Henrik said
"Stupid bitch!" Mitsuko said. Estella fell down and touched her mouth
Heh...she's definitely asking for it!
"You're the bitch here!" Estella said as she stood up
"The two of you! Enough!" The man growled. Hojo glared at the two women and sighed
"Leave old man" Estella growled
"Let me beat the shit out of her" Mitsuko growled
"Stop it...not here" Hojo said
"Alright then...let's go Mitsuko" Estella said as she walked away and left the room
"Mitsuko. Don't" Hojo said
"Shut up. I want to kill her" Mitsuko growled as she walked out the room as well
"Should we stop them?" Henrik asked
"There's nothing we can do..." Hojo said
I recognize that look...

Mei was filling out a couple of paperwork and tried to focus but kept getting headaches
Fuck...why does my head hurt?
Mei blinked a few times and her eyes widen as she saw a shadow
Wh-what?
"Hehehe..." It giggled. Mei shook her head and saw nothing
"What the hell? Am I sleepy?" Mei asked as she touched her head
"Min..."
Mei looked around not knowing where the voice was coming from. She stood up and gasped feeling someone behind her
"Who's there?" Mei asked and growled. It was quiet for a moment until she heard her laptop
Huh? A message?
Mei looked down at her laptop and saw the email
Who is it? Unknown?
"Who the hell is this person?" Mei asked and clicked on it. Her eyes widen as she saw a picture of herself with two other girls who looked like Mitsuko and Matsuri
"Wh-what?" Mei asked
Who are they? Is that...m-me?
"Hehehe..." The shadow giggled. Mei's body froze as she felt the shadow place it's hand on her shoulder
"Hello Aihara" The shadow said
"Wh-who the hell are you?" Mei asked as she turned her head slightly
"Who am I? Hehehe...oh Min...you don't know?" The shadow asked
"M-min?" Mei asked
"Hehe that's you" The shadow said and played with her hair softly
"M-me? What do you mean by that?" Mei asked
"That you are Min Aihara dumbass" The shadow said
"I am?" Mei asked
"Of course you are. How do you explain that picture of yourself with your two mates?" The shadow asked
"What? B-but they...l-look different" Mei said
And why am I talking back to this shadow thing? Wait...is this what Matsuri was dealing with?
"Min..." The shadow said and wrapped her arms around her neck from behind. More pictures appeared on Mei's laptop and they were images of three girls together on their dates
Is this...us? But we haven't gone to these places before...
"Hehe do you remember?" The shadow asked
"Remember what?" Mei asked
"Awww so you don't remember? I rescued you" The shadow said and smiled
"Y-you did?" Mei asked
"Of course" The shadow said
Flashback
Mei only sat on the bed while holding a knife. She looked at it and trembled
"I hate everyone...no one listens to me..." Mei mumbled as she looked down
'Father is gone...why did he have to leave?'
"Do I not matter? I am your daughter...you're suppose to stay by my side..." Mei said as she teared up
"I hate you so much...for leaving me like that in this miserable place" Mei growled as tears built up in her eyes. She looked down at her wrist and placed the knife against it
'I...I can't take it anymore...'
Mei slid the knife against her wrist cutting herself. She watched the blood start to roll down her wrist. Mei trembled as she gripped the knife tightly. She raised the knife as she felt like stabbing herself until she felt someone grab her arm. Mei gasped and looked up as she saw a person. The woman only looked at Mei and smiled softly
"Don't hurt yourself dear" The woman said as she stroked her hair softly
"Wh-who are you?" Mei asked. The woman only got rid of the knife as she pulled it away from her
"Just an angel wanting to protect my girl..." The woman said and held her bleeding wrist. Mei's eyes widen as the mysterious woman removed her hand from her wrist
"I-it's gone..." Mei said and touched her wrist
"Hehe next time don't do this okay? If you need someone to talk to then talk to me" The woman said as she held her hand
"Wh-why do you l-look like her?" Mei asked as she trembled
"Eh?" The woman asked
"L-like mom...it scares me..." Mei said as she hugged herself
"O-oh no no no! I'm not like her. Trust me I am very different from that bitch" The woman said
"Bitch?" Mei asked
"Uhm...it's best if you don't say that word hehe" The woman said as she patted her head softly
"What does that mean?" Mei asked
"It's just a...you know what? Take a small nap" The woman said
"B-but-"
"No buts. Now just try and rest for a bit" The woman said
"But I wanna play..." Mei said
"Play?" The woman asked
"Mhm" Mei said. The woman only sighed and nodded
"Alright" The woman replied
End Of Flashback
"Wait...you were my imaginary friend?" Mei asked
"Yes but I wasn't just imaginary" The shadow said
"Wait...you're saying that you're real?" Mei asked
"Of course I'm real" The shadow said
"So others can see you?" Mei asked
"Depends if I want to be seen but yes... some can" The shadow said and giggled
"But why are you appearing now? You never showed up again.." Mei said
"You were so focused on your work so...I left to see how you would turn out to be. It seems you turned out to be a beautiful young woman like me" The shadow said as she turned into a human figure
"Why do you look like me?" Mei asked
"Hehe...because I am and you're me" Min said and cupped both her cheeks
"E-excuse me?" Mei asked
"You heard me...Min Aihara" Min said
