Chapter Text
Sorry, it took so long to update, but I have been working on my own original story about a person being sent into a fantasy world. The first five chapters are out, and the stories Waking Up In A New World if you are interested in reading it.
Stood in an elevator Suzuka couldn't help but feel irritated. If there were one thing, Suzuka hates it would be the stuffy suits and dresses her father would make her wear whenever she would joining him on business trips like she is today. Togging at the collar that feels to tight against her neck and praying that she can be out of her high heel shoes soon Suzuka would usually hope the meeting would be over soon, but today she had other plans when she heard about her fathers next business meeting.
"I'm happy to see you are taking an interest in the family business and othering to come with me today instead of being told to," Suzuka looks up to her father and despite the lack of a smile on his wrinkled face Suzuka can tell he's happy by the fact he's looking at her for once in her life. "I was beginning to think you were still deluded with the thought about being a Toji forever and guarding the Origami Family for the rest of your life."
"I am still committed to protecting the Origami's father, but you are right," Suzuka sees a small smile grow at the edge of her father's lips. "My time as a Toji is limited, and while I would love to be one forever, I know I need to plan for my future when my ability to use an Okatana comes to an end."
"Well, I am happy you are here with me today," Her father tells her. "The Toda Bussiness Group do a lot of business with us, and I'm sure that once you join the company, you will be seeing them a lot, so it's good that you are here with me today to meet them."
The elevator doors open and Suzuka follows her father into a wide lobby which offers a beautiful view of the city and houses a single desk where a busty receptionist looks up to spot their approach before telling them to go straight in, and they are expected. Her father knocks on a set of large wooden doors before stepping into an office where a white-haired man is walking towards them, extending a hand to her father.
"It's good to see you again, Mr Konohana," The man smiles as he shakes her father's hand.
"You two Mr Toda," Suzuka's father replies, returning the smile. "I see your son isn't with you today."
"Yes, unfortunately, Koide has personal matters to take care of today," Suzuka knows he means Hiyori's disappearance, and she can't help but feel like he blames her when he shoots her a look. "But I see you brought your daughter with you." Toda steps close Suzuka and shake her hand. "You look as lovely as always yo Suzuka."
"Thank you," Suzuka politely replies the way her parents taught her to. "It's nice to meet you again, Mr Toda. I don't think we had seen each other since that fundraiser three months ago."
"Yes, I remember," Toda nods her head. "You brought you, fellow guard member if I remember. It's unfortunate she nearly got kicked out after arguing with my son."
"If you saw someone trying to grope your girlfriend you would have been mad too," Suzuka thinks but bites her tongue before she can speak the words.
"Yes," Suzuka says. "It's unfortunate she behaved in such away."
After a little bit more of small talk, Suzuka's father and Toda begin to discuss the business of supplying Toda's company with raw materials they can refine into products. The whole time Suzuka acts the way her father expects her too during the meeting staying quiet and watching how business is conducted while only talking when spoken to. Suzuka can see her father smile at her as he spares a glance, and she feels slightly bad that she is using him as a cover to get into the building, but her resolve holds firm.
"I will make sure he doesn't get Hiyroi," Suzuka vows to herself before she gets up and excuses herself calming she needs to go to the bathroom.
Suzuka asks the receptionist where the bathroom is and heads in that direction but diverts once out of sight. Putting a hand in her pocket Suzuka makes sure the device is still there. Part of her wants to laugh when she feels it. After spending so much time finding hidden devises members of the press have tried to hide on the Origami estate Suzuka never thought she would be using one of them herself. Approaching Koide's office that she has the displeasure of knowing the location of Suzuka is glad to see the area deserted, but just as she was thinking that she was going to get away with it, Suzuka feels a tap on her shoulder.
"I wasn't expected you to come looking for me beautifully. Did you finally realize that you couldn't be a dyke forever and come to me?"
Waking up the leader of Yukina's Special Reaction Force 8 wakes up to find herself handcuffed to the chair facing her friend, but unlike the girl opposite, she doesn't have her mouth taped shut. Quickly she tries to free herself, but despite her enhanced strength thanks to the Noro injected into her body, all she can accomplish is to rattle her cuffs alerting her captor that she is now awake. She doesn't hear him approach, but she can see the eyes of the girl opposite her go wide as he approaches.
"You know I used to be loyal to Yukari," A man tells her as he circles around her and steps behind the gagged girl. "I was a member of the Special Ritual Riot Squad. I served Yukari for ten years capturing and integrating anyone who opposed her and I became very good and getting answers would you like to know why?" He doesn't wait for an answer before drawing a knife and slicing the gagged girls cheek making her cry out and drawing blood. "It's because I know everyone has a weakness."
"Leave her alone!" She eyes out, and to her surprise, he does.
"That's up to you," He takes a step back. "If you answer my questions, then I won't harm but refuse while the…" He moves faster then she would have thought possible quickly returning to the gagged girl and holding his knife to her neck. "The girl you grew up protecting from bullies, who you joined the Yukina's reaction for and love so dearly will die."
The gaged girl's eyes go wide, and tears start to roll down her cheeks while the leader of the reaction force can only helplessly watch. She tries to break free, but the cuffs continue to refuse to break. In the end, she gives up and sees blood start to seep from the gagged girls neck she sighs.
"What do you want to know?" She asks in a defeated tone.
"Where are Hiyori and Kanami?" He asks in a calm voice.
"I don't know," She tells him but looks down to her pocket where she usually keeps her cellphone only to find it empty. "But I can find out if you give me my phone."
She hates giving in but looking across at the gagged girl she knows the thought of losing her is unthinkable. "I can't lose her, not after everything I have endured to keep her safe."
"I'll be more than happy to cancel my plans to show you a good time," Koide says getting close enough that Suzuka feels like she needs a shower. "How about we go to my office and use my desk for better things than work."
"I can't," Suzuka replies trying not to cause a scene. "Your marrying Hiyrio I can't do something like sleeping with her fiance to her."
"We aren't married yet," He tells her trapping the elite guard between the wall and himself. "And even then there's nothing wrong with having a good time with other people."
"I can't do this," Suzuka says trying to get passed him, but he grabs her wrist and Suzuka wished she had the Noro still within her so she could throw him again. "Please let me go both of our fathers are waiting for me."
"Surely you want to spend time with me over being in a boring meeting?" Suzuka hates how confident and argent he sounds. "We can have a much better time alone together."
"I'm sorry, but I really have to get back," Suzuka replies, freeing her wrist and walking off while wishing she could have just slapped him.
"Remember my office door is always open for you," Koide calls after her.
Suzuka wanted to run, but she manages to control herself and settles for a brisk walk instead quickly reaching and locking herself inside. For several seconds she stares at the door expecting that Koide would have followed her but when she hears no one trying to force the door open Suzuka can finally relax. Taking a moment to steady her breath and stop her skin from crawling Suzuka reaches into her pocket and pulls out a small marble-like device that caused her such a headache at one point.
"It's hard to believe something so small could have caused me so many problems," Suzuka thinks as she rolls around the small object.
Suzuka's problem with these marble-like objects started when she first became a member of the Elite Guard. Akane would let local children play on her families estate, and a particular reporter ended up convincing the kids to scatter several marbles like the one Suzuka is currently holding around the Origami mansions ground. At first Suzuka and the other members of the Elite, Guard thought nothing of it and just saw the kids as untidy but when one day by accident when Maki stood on one of those marbles during a spare the real purpose of the small objects was revealed. Inside each of the marbles, Suzuka spent nearly a month tracking down across the estate was a microphone the press was using to get a story.
"I was so upset with the report and but no I am just like him," Suzuka shakes her head at the thought. "No, I am nothing like that scumbag who did it only for money."
Peeking out of the bathroom Suzuka is revelled to see that Koide isn't out there waiting for her. Stepping out still worried that Koide will step out from around some corner Suzuka moves as quietly as she can back to that creeps office where she finds the door wide open.
"He can't be expecting me to come crawling through his office door," Suzuka thinks with disgust as she tiptoes closer to the door.
Creeping forward inching closer and closer to the door Suzuka holds her breath as she hears him pacing back and forth with the room. Feeling sweat form on the back of her neck Suzuka takes out the small microphone and gentle rolls it into the room worried that he might hear. Letting out a breath she didn't know she was holding Suzuka feels her body relax as she turns to leave.
"You found them," Suzuka stops as she hears Koide's voice. "Bring her to me… I told you I don't care about her girlfriend just bring Hiyori to me."
