I'm so dead. Why's she here anyway? Is she a stalker?

"Haha, hello Sakura.. I was just meeting a friend. W-what're you doing here?"

This is the worst! Do I even have a thing called 'luck'?

Did she see me meeting with Riku? Or walking me together with Saito? If she saw me then everything is over. I might die before fulfilling the mission.

"Me? I'm just shopping to buy new dolls. My old ones are getting boring so I'm replacing them with new"

I've a feeling that those words are directed to me. If I translate it into my language, 'if you go around with other people and disobey me or become boring I'll replace you just like a doll' - something like this.

"You like dolls?"

It wasn't on the information! No, even the fact that Saito is school director's son wasn't on his  information so something like a doll won't be mentioned here. Looks like I can't believe everything in the system.

"Of course! Because they acts just like how I want and can't disobey me. Plus they're so pretty"

She's definitely referring to me.

"..Anyway it must be hard for you to welcome the new year by yourself right? How about come to my home?"

Is she asking me to enter the lion's den willingly? Is there a chance for me to refuse?

"I'm afraid I can't. I decided to go back to the orphanage and greet my siblings there. I've managed to save a lot of money to buy gifts. I believe the kids will be happy"

As a person who lied to save my ass for over ten years I managed to find somewhat decent excuse. But I realized it wasn't a great idea to deny her after seeing her smile drop.

She reminds me of Riku from few moments ago.

"Again with the orphanage... why're you making such a pitiful excuse to avoid me? Come to thing about it who's the friend you were meeting earlier?"

She seems so pissed off. I can feel her anger from the way she is grabbing my wrist and it hurts so damn much. What's wrong with this monstrous strength coming from a girl shorter and slimmer than me?

Logic really doesn't work in this game.

"You're acting strange these days. You never refused my request before. Is it because of that boy who sits in front of you? He really is in the way.."

"W-wait, I've to go home. There's something I really really need to do.."

"Go home? Where? To that shabby orphanage or the empty dormitory? Or to your boyfriend's house?"

Sh*t! She knows! She knows I'm staying with Saito but pretended to ignore it!

"You're not going anywhere near those places!"

She dragged me towards the black car that's waiting in front of the shopping.

"N-no, I've to.." I struggled to stop her but I her monstrous strengh wasn't letting me go.

[Yoshimoto Sakura: 8]

It's getting more and more dangerous. I should quickly escape.

"Manabu-san, get her into the car and don't let her escape!" Sakura ordered the middle aged butler and he helped Sakura.

I can't believe I'm being kidnapped by a high school girl. My strength was even more useless against the two people that's still dragging me towards the car.

The three of us stopped after hearing the sound of a camera. Someone just took a photo of us.

"Wow, to witness people kidnapping someone so openly in the streets... I wonder what'll Mr. Yoshimoto think m after seeing this funny scene"

The red haired guy was laughing with a camera in his hand. Sakura clicked her tongue and finally let go of my wrist. I quickly stepped backwards to keep my distance from the two.

"Mind your own business, Yukino-kun. Or I might do something reaallyy bad to you by 'accident"

It was a meeting of two extremely sly and two faced people. Both of them are very dangerous and their background is also equal. I can't help but tremble in fear.

"Did you also threaten your 'friend' over there like this? As a citizen of this city I can't just ignore someone who is kidnapping people on the daylight"

"I'm not kidnapping her. We're just going to hang out at my place"

"You're dragging her without considering her opinion. That's same as kidnapping right?"

Damn, I can't say a single thing.

I'm an adult but why am I unable to participate in a conversation of these two teenagers?

"T-then I'll be going now. Let's meet up later Sakura. Thanks and good bye Yukino-kun" it took my everything not to stutter. They were too busy arguing with each other to hear me so I ran for my life.

I rushed towards the opposite direction without turning back until I reach my limit, leaving the two scary people behind.

I only realized I don't have a place to go after reaching a place I've never been before. Sakura knows I went to Saito's house. Dormitory is a dangerous place for me because of Katsuragi. Sakura might destroy the orphanage if I go there.

My only choice is to call my savior, Usato.

He wasn't picking up his phone so I just left a message. With the help of the map I also sent my location.

"Hey look at that girl?"

"Where?"

"That girl over there. Doesn't she look like Asuka Yoshino?"

"She doesn't look like one. She's the real deal. Get her!"

Hearing the two familiar idiots talking loudly behind me, I started to run with all my might again although my knees are ready to give up after running for so long.

I can see Katsuragi's two followers running behind me shouting after me to stop.

First awkward meeting with Riku then bumping into crazy Sakura and now these guys.

This is the most unlucky situation I've ever experienced in my whole life.
