Ulterior Motives

A quick fic in celebration of me finishing this semester, and with one of my fav Tecchou frames (i love my husband mwah)

Scenario: Passing class is literally impossible when your professor has a nice ass. So in order to pass, you show him your tits

[Reader is an adult here. also NSFW warning but like it's really not explicit.]

This course had been a nightmare - it was the second time you had taken this class, and your second attempt was just 'barely passing'. Straight C grades across each test and paper, it almost made you want to scream.

It was nearly impossible to pay attention to your lectures when your professor wore tight pants and button-up shirts, like a whore. He was like candy for your eyes, walking around the front of the room and pointing at the board with his authentic Kyu Gunto sword.

Jesus. What a nerd.

How were you supposed to take notes on the history of pan-Asianism when he didn't even know how geeky he was? And when his shirt couldn't even contain his shoulders?

It was so distracting.

Of course you were close to failing.

Last semester had sealed your fate - you had failed so badly that he asked you to personally take the course again, discussing personal study groups and even asking 'Is everything alright?'

No, nothinh really was. But you can't go up and say 'Professor Suehiro, you're too distracting' when it's just his face.

Professor Suehiro was either ignorant or a masochist, forcing you to watch him stroll across the room and talk about the Russo-Japanese war with a warm voice; you prayed he didn't notice how much you shifted your legs.

Why did you sit in the front again? It wasn't a full class, half of them had dropped out throughout the semester, you could have always sat in the back if you really wanted to.

But god.

Every time you made eye contact and saw the spark in his eyes at the passion for his subject - it made you so happy you had a few more months with him. It was hell trying to focus when he looked at you, but it was so exciting each time he did.

Fortunately, it was the last day you had with him. Which meant that the man who tortured you with his existence would be just another page in your life.

Unfortunately, it meant passing your final exam.

You were pretty sure you were going to pass. This time you had studied and really tried, which was better than you could say than last semester - you had stayed up the entire night and got...distracted. (Professor Suehiro had a public Instagram. Of course, you were obsessed)

But you had a card up your sleeve this time. If you failed, then you had a photo of your tits with your number on the back.

It was pretty obvious what the implication was. You spent time trying to position the camera right, getting the right bra and lighting so you would look as fuckable as possible.

Hopefully he didn't notice that your apartments floors were from the 18th century and belonged in a horror film. It was hard to make the photo attractive when you had such a poor workspace.

Parts of you were really hoping he would call - if you can't use your brain to get through college, surely you can use your body, right? Professor Suehiro was attractive, you would have slept with him anyway, grade or not.

The smarter part of you was screaming at you - this was weird. It's really weird, actually.

But you needed every card you could pull to pass.

So against that small intelligent part of your brain that was beaten to death by regurgitating the semester's course material on the exam, you snuck in a photo of your tits and number into the stapled-together papers, praying to god that at the very least, dealing with the consequences later.

"Oh. Hello Y/n."

Professor Suehiro smiled gently towards you, shuffling papers that you were sure was among the hundreds he had to grade. His hands were elegant as he moved them around - his veins were so beautiful you wanted to bite them.

"You emailed me about my exam? Is there an issue?"

The smarter part of your brain was winning now that you were released from your test anxiety - right after you had left the room, it had won and had stayed winning, making you wish you had never left that stupid photo.

"Not exactly. I did wish to congratulate you on passing this semester - the minimum you needed was a 30, and you scored a 52. That brings you to a 79 as your final grade, if you're alright with that."

His deep voice drawled out the numbers, having them languish on his tongue as he looked down on you.

It was hard to maintain eye contact, so you stared a little past him, observing how his shirt was unbuttoned just enough to show the definition of muscle between his chest and collarbones.

"C's are A's for me. I'm happy enough."

It was like a piece of your anxiety left - finally, this class was over. After you walk out of this room, you would quite possibly never think of the Meiji era again. Ever.

Or the sexiest man alive, which was frankly a little disappointing.

"Are you sure? Student's ask me to round their grades usually, so I offer extra credit."

The brunette tilted his head like a puppy, his golden eyes calculating something as they grazed your form.

Today was one of the few outfits you had worn that wasn't revealing - you weren't even wearing a bra, instead opting for a large shirt and a jacket in order to avoid the discomfort.

Maybe he noticed? Fuck. You hope he noticed.

"What is it?"

Maybe it was a date. Or something better.

Was the photo actually paying off?

"I can text it to you if you'd like, you seem to prefer that."

You couldn't tell if he said this with sarcasm or not, but you nodded anyway. He smiled a little - maybe it was the right thing to say?

Casually, he pulled out the photo you left him, staring at the front for a long, hard moment. His face didn't tell you anything about what he was thinking, but you could feel your face warming up in a normal amount of shame, as his eyes turned to look back at you.

Silently, he turned the back of the photo around, typing in your phone number. His face cracked into a smile, his cheeks chasing his eyelashes as they pulled into little crescents.

"Oh! Yea."

Professor Suehiro wasn't well known for understanding social cues, but you could feel his knuckles graze against your chest, with only your thin T-shirt to protect you.

He was definitely far too close into your personal space.

"I don't think you meant to leave this."

His fingers tapped the photo against your chest, causing a furious red to spread across your face.

"Right. Um...you can keep it, if you want."

Why the fuck did you say that?

The older man just took the photo and stared at it for a moment again - it was so embarrassing, feeling like your chest was some sort of science exhibit.

His golden eyes moved back towards you again, after torturing you for the last few minutes.

"Thanks. Nice bra, by the way."

"I appreciate it, Professor Suehiro."

Was that a compliment or just a statement? His voice was hard to really know anything by, and his face currently didn't say much - he was just the same handsome guy who had been torturing you for half a year with your existence.

"Just call me Tecchou."

He leaned in closer, deciding that your personal space was his own as he fixed the collar of your shirt, tugging it around your neck and dragging his fingers across your skin.

What the fuck was that extra credit going to be?

This is very self indulgent but like *shrug emoji* anyway im gonna be a bit more active now I guess

Also edited cuz who is letting me post this while fucked up?

#bsd x reader #bungo stray dogs x reader #bungou stray dogs x reader #tecchou x reader #bsd x y/n #tetchou x reader #tecchou x you #tecchou x y/n #tecchou suehiro x reader #professor!tecchou #should i make that a tag #idk

Okay, so like, I see that discourse around Misaki is getting heated, and like I get it, but I feel like everyone saying shit like “You have NO RIGHT to break up their family.” and “Miri belongs with Kazuki and Rei so Misaki needs to gtfo NOW” are kind of ignoring the one major, glaring plot point that the last three episodes have been calling attention to, which is that Miri is being ACTIVELY targeted by hitmen??? Bruh this isn’t about Misaki, it’s about the fact that Miri is in danger. They are being watched. The organization is following their every move, and Rei’s father made two things very obvious 1. He will not tolerate anyone making Rei weak and taking him away from his inevitable family duties and 2. Even trying to leave the organization will result in you AND your loved ones getting brutally killed The message is clear. He WILL have Miri killed to force Rei to comply. That’s the entire reason Kyu got into contact with Misaki. Until they find a way to break free from the organization, Miri has a huge target on her back, and try as they might, Kazuki and Rei can’t always be around to protect her. This isn’t about whether you think Misaki is selfish or not, this is about the fact that Miri’s life could be in active danger and the show is basically spelling that out to us, but it feels like everyone is forgetting that in their hatred of Misaki as if she is the primary threat to their familial life. She isn’t the threat. She cannot force a legal battle for custody after blatant child abandonment. The only reason she is here is because she is the only safe and familiar home Miri can go to where her life may not be in active danger. It’s a sucky situation but yall, she’s NOT the villain, she’s NOT breaking up a family for no reason. She is NEEDED right now because until the organization is taken down, Miri is NO LONGER safe with Kazuki and Rei. This isn’t a comment on how good of a mother she is, this is a statement on how this is the SAFEST option for Miri right now, and I think people would do well to remember that Miri’s life being in danger isn’t a hypothetical ‘what if’ scenario when they are making posts declaring that Misaki needs to turn around and walk away. Do y’all think Kyu contacted her for fun? Because he made the executive decision that she would be the better parent? Come on, realize the gravity of the situation here

I've taken direct admission in my clg, (they gave me on the basis on my boards performance) and people which take admissions through entrance exams look down on people like me/us. They talk abt us with making all sort of faces and all, seeing us as most non deserving people.

BUT I am currently outperforming the same people in like almost every subject. The same people call me THE TOPPER now. They see me performing and ask me my JEE percentile or score on entrance exam and i don't even lie, I tell them the crt percentile and their first reaction is kyu juth bol raha hai, they just won't believe it, i end up giving them crisis after giving proofs that I person like me with that score can out perform them.

Anyways the point is I would have been the same as them, if i wouldn't have experienced what i have experienced, my whole out take has been changed, those people just won't consider and situations might me different for that person or their might me some issues he/she ran into at that time.

And now i look it as giving chances to those people, people like me, who for some reason just couldn't do it at that time. You never know what kind of potential a person is holding inside him. YES I AGREE that its kind of taking bets, but I believe people should get chances, I think every one deserves that.

PS:- Same topic pe mera kisi ke sath discussion hota hai toh and i just end up clearly saying ki because they are giving those opportunities I'm here, and I toh am very gratefull for it.

#I'm very grateful for this opportunity #and will try my best to this work this time around #spilled heart #my thoughts #desiblr #desi #desi teen #desi thoughts #people should get chances #grateful to my clg that they give chances to people like us

There were a LOT of very real, very excellent writing choices this episode, but at least one that I haven't heard spoken of yet is the way Kyu spoke to Rei and Kazuki, and the heel turn he made. Not only did he give Miri's mother all the ammunition she needed to take Miri, but he is unbelievably harsh in his language towards them, not only bringing up how they killed Miri's father and suggesting that Miri would hate them for it, but calling their current life "lies," a "dream," and playing pretend.

Which is a fascinating about face from him, considering how genuinely supportive he has been of their family (Covering for their mistakes on the job! Babysitting! Saying he understands why they did it! Commenting in a pleased way on the ways they have changed as people! His heartfelt conversation with them about how they will have to expect resistance for what they are doing! Delaying Ogino for 4 months!)

I find the contrast interesting for several reasons. 1) That Kyu's opinion and words are actually very influential on these two - Kazuki borrows his "dream" language later on in the episode, and I think they both started thinking more about change because of Kyu's previous conversations with them. But also - I wonder if either Rei or Kazuki have enough insight to understand how Kyu is being hard, not because those are his true feelings consistent with his actions, but because he wants to pressure them into giving up Miri in an effort to protect all of them?

I really like how Buddy Daddies takes their job as hitmen and implements it differently in each episode.

Episode 1: We get introduced to their job right away and how Miri later plays a part in disrupting their plans. Then we get a flashback and see how their jobs worked before Miri was present in their lives at all.

Episode 2: We see Miri interrupting their job and plan.

Episode 3: As a result of their jobs, they make the decision to bring Miri back to her mother.

Episode 4: The nature of their work and some of the more underworld stuff that they do (like forging papers) is said in the presence of Miri and is something that could jeopardize them getting her into a daycare. There jobs being something socially unacceptable also makes certain processes more complicated (like filling out the paperwork for the daycare).

Episode 5: We see them getting back into their job a little bit. This return to working results in work-life balance problems and Miri is placed in potential danger by being so close to Kyu’s bar and Ryo Ogino. Thankfully, nothing comes of this, but something still might.

Episode 6: Rei and Kazuki’s skills as hitmen are what keep Miri and her friends safe in the zoo, and against that loser delinquent, of course.

Episode 7: Kazuki’s past trauma due to his the loss of his wife comes from his job as a hitman. Rei’s lack of life skills is a result of his childhood, which was solely focused on Rei learning how to be the perfect hitman, rather than on life skills. Their flaws and traumas interfere with their mental health and well-being, as well as their ability to raise Miri. Things work out in the end, but there is a lot of hard, scary growth they both experience in this episode.

I feel if they implemented the hitman aspect into the show in the same way as Episode 2 more often, it would have gotten very repetitive and boring after a while. The way they have it right now keeps things fresh, but also doesn’t make their hitmen professions irrelevant either.

It’s been handled very nicely so far!

Kazuki Kurusu as Your Lover ❣

Genre: Headcanons | Fluff + Smut Word Count: 2k Content Warning(s): Mentions of somnophilia, light BDSM, intoxication, discussion of nsfw ideas/kinks

⊲ SFW HCs: [gn!reader] ⊳

➵ Kazuki is a dedicated man to his partner, when he dates you he imagines a future with you and would stop fooling around with anybody else he is seeing weeks before he asks you out.

➵ Kazuki has to make sure you’re a good fit in the family with Rei and Miri before bringing you into their lives. He wants a lifelong romantic partner sure, but he puts his family as a priority as well.

➵ Kazuki fell for you when he noticed you as a regular at Kyu’s cafe back in the day and as a regular at his new diner.

➵ You interacted with Miri back then before at the cafe and have been acquainted with them during their old life so she definitely remembers you which makes Kazuki smile.

➵ You fell for Kazuki’s humorous charm and his fatherly caring nature.

➵ Kazuki loves to make sure you are pampered by him. Whatever you are craving he’ll make for you. Wherever you want to go, he’ll try his best to plan a trip with you there.

➵ Kazuki appreciates you doing household chores with him, it’s a way the two of you bonded as Miri is always busy and Rei mans the front of the diner so things get pushed to the side in their own living space.

➵ Kazuki loves to be open and communicate with you to avoid misunderstandings and fights. He’s very patient with you and will hear you out, even if you may be the one in the wrong.

➵ Kazuki is a gentleman in the fact that he’ll hold doors open for you, take you to fancy places, and put your needs first when you’re in public.

➵ Kazuki is really good with his mouth and tongue, not like that, well… he adores flirting with you and making you blush up a storm.

➵ At home, Kazuki is very domestic and loves just daily routine with you. He doesn’t find it boring tag teaming dishes with you or folder clothes together.

➵ Kazuki loves to cook new recipes for you. He asks for your opinion in a dish that he contemplates about adding to the diner and he appreciates your honest and critiques better than Rei and Miri because sometimes, they have a very specific opinions about taste.

➵ Kazuki is a very openly jealous lover. He hates it when people flirt with you and will make it a point to call them out for it and tell them that you are his.

➵ Kazuki is also an overprotective lover, not a bad sense. He’ll always ask to make sure you’re doing okay or comfortable in a given situation. If you get a muscle twinge or an accidental papercut, he’ll treat it like you broke a bone but give you the upmost care to make sure you are not in pain or discomfort.

➵ Kazuki loves your appearance, no matter what you wear or put on your body he’ll always compliment you and try to boost your confidence, because he means it like that.

➵ Kazuki would always try to impress you and take your opinions into his consideration. If you mention that you would rather go without his facial hair, he’d shave it immediately for you. If you mention that you wanted to match outfits, he’d change for you in a heartbeat. You’d always find him attractive or charming though.

➵ Kazuki’s dream date with you is taking you out for a dance on a cruise ship with just the two of you to preserve that intimacy and privacy.

➵ When Kazuki has the chance to, he loves traveling with you and exploring the world with you. Of course he’d love to bring Rei and Miri along, but he acknowledges that some journeys are reserved for the two of you.

➵ Kazuki is a very physically clingy person and will show lots of PDA. You’re walking in public? Your hand is being held by him. You’re waiting in line? He’ll offer you his shoulder to lean on. He wouldn’t be obnoxious about this but he loves giving you small pecks on the forehead or cheek just to show you off to the world as his.

➵ Kazuki loves your cuddles and spooning you. He loves how small your figure is next to him. He is also a sucker for your kisses.

➵ Something that makes Kazuki really melt is the times when you would just lovingly make out with him in bed. It doesn’t always lead to anything explicit but the times when he would just hold you and let his heart take over in pampering you with kisses and press your mouths together for minutes at a time.

➵ Kazuki loves waking up to you still in his arms and sharing your warmth, especially in the winter. He saves on heater bills sometimes because of you.

➵ Kazuki likes to be very cheesy with you, tell you that you’re his world and play with your fingers or hair while whispering sweet nothings to you. He blushes easily when in vulnerable moments like that with you.

➵ When the two of you have to do long distance, Kazuki would constantly be texting you asking how you are doing and that he misses you lots.

➵ Kazuki would want to call you at any given time if the two of you are long distance for awhile. He is a sucker for sleeping on call too and hearing your voice.

➵ The one thing Kazuki would not be open about is how much ‘wrong’ he did when he was doing ‘bad business’. He doesn’t like talking about that time with you, not because he’s afraid of your judgment, he doesn’t want you to get involved in any way just in case of the risk of the organization coming back to hurt him and god forbid, you.

➵ You are easy to talk to when it comes to Kazuki sharing the most painful parts of his life such as his time with Yuzuko and his lost child. You bring comfort to him very easily and even Karin has met you and loves you.

➵ Kazuki loves watching you be silly when you think you’re alone in the house. He loves seeing you dance around to your music while you’re cleaning, you bring him so much joy.

➵ Kazuki loves switching clothes with you. The two of you share sweaters and hoodies all the time. You love his smell and if he’s away for awhile, you’ll sleep in his clothes to pretend he’s next to you.

➵ Kazuki hates arguing with you and it rarely ever happens. He is reasonable and you are open to minded many ideas and situations.

➵ The biggest argument the two of you would have is over rice, the one time you messed up by putting too much water in the rice and learned that Kazuki likes his rice overcooked and you hated the texture.

➵ The two of you rely on each other for help equally. You need his assistance with certain chores like unclogging the sink sometimes whereas he needs your knowledge on how to sew certain loops or use a sewing machine.

➵ Overall he is happy to share his life with you and he would absolutely be the one to ask for your hand in marriage a year or two after your domestic life with him starts.

➵ Kazuki trusts you with his world and you are all that he’s ever wanted. When Miri goes off to college, he even thinks about having a kid of your own with him if that is what you so desired.

➵ Kazuki puts up pictures of the two of you on his desk so he can stare at them every time he goes on his computer and treasures the ones that you are in with him, Rei, and Miri like a true family.

⊲ NSFW HCs: [fem!reader] ⊳

➵ Kazuki loves sex with you. The two of you get freaky on most nights, especially in the start of your relationship with him.

➵ You in general are a turn on for Kazuki so not much is needed for him to be aroused and ready for you.

➵ Kazuki is very vocal with you in bed. He loves to dirty talk to you knowing that it is a turn on for you.

➵ Kazuki focuses on your pleasure first before his own although he definitely feels good if you show that you’re enjoying what he’s doing.

➵ The two of you got spicy pretty early on in your relationship, it all went from a casual make out session on the couch when Rei and Miri were out to your first time together on his bed and he treated you like royalty.

➵ When Kazuki knows the two of you are about to get frisky and he makes out with you, he gets hard really fast and makes it known to you that he wants you.

➵ You know when Kazuki is horny in general just because he makes it known. In the morning if he wakes up with morning wood, he’ll grind on your ass if time permits and you are alone with him. If he’s needy when you’re lounging on the couch, he’ll be kissing up on you more than usual and letting his hands wander.

➵ Kazuki loves your touch so much. He can easily finish if you just give him a handjob, but he usually prefers longer sessions than that.

➵ Kazuki loves to be in control, he tries to top but a lot of the time ends up as a bottom but he doesn’t mind. He’s a switch and so are you when it comes to your relationship.

➵ Kazuki will suggest new ideas to spice things up in bed and run it by you before doing them obviously. You’ll also ask him to try new things too such as asphyxiation which he did not like or food play which he secretly enjoyed licking whipped cream off of your nude form.

➵ You once suggested to bind Kazuki’s wrists together as a light attempt at BDSM and he enjoyed it more than he’d like to admit. He likes being in control sometimes but also at your wits when you have full control of teasing him and making him beg.

➵ You enjoy Kazuki begging for your touch a lot more than you like to admit.

➵ Kazuki loves consensual somnophilia with you. He loves the idea of waking you up with him inside of you.

➵ Kazuki also really enjoyed intoxicated sex with you, consensually agreed upon before of course. Things get more heated when the two of you feel silly.

➵ Kazuki is too possessive for to fully enjoy exhibitionism but he loves to tease you in public and grind against you when the two of you are alone in a public setting or about to return home.

➵ Kazuki fucks himself to pictures of you a lot. You love sending him images of yourself in lingerie or full on nudes and every image of you being seductive goes into his spank bank.

➵ Kazuki has a couple toys of his own, nothing too fancy just a vibrator and a fleshlight, maybe the occasional dildo. Just for you though, he would allow you to buy a strap on to fuck him with if you were really into it.

➵ Kazuki really loves to mark you as his with hickies where people can see them, just to show off that you’re his. He loves to make you feel effects of the night prior in a good way. You enjoy it too knowing that he was the one who was rough with you, making you moan.

➵ Kazuki loves penetration with you, feeling your walls and feeling that intimacy with you.

➵ You also adore it when Kazuki eats you out, he’s really good with his mouth and his tongue, yes like that.

➵ Kazuki has a very high libido, he can go for multiple rounds and realistically tire you out before he’s exhausted himself.

➵ Kazuki may be rough during love making but he treats you with amazing aftercare. He will run a shower for you and clean you up and massage your body if you’re really sore.

Buddy Daddies Vol 3

Alright! I’m wide awake and have Buddy Daddies vol 3~ forgive my blankets in my pictures… I am not bothered to get out of bed…

Let’s begin!

The package arrived in shiny plastic - I noticed it was immediately lighter than the first two which had me worried lol. Nothing to worry — the bonuses this time were just very light/ small.

The box cover~ as I predicted in my last post, this one features Rei and Miri together with Kazuki alone. I was also correct about it being blue. I wanted a rainbow but hey, sticking thematically to colours works too!

We’ve all already seen Vol 4’s colour scheme so I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that maybe we’ll get variations of red/ pink and blue.

Now inside! Disclaimer: this volume comes with a serial code for a digital copy of the entire series (Yay!) so for this reason, a couple of papers (with the serial code) are missing. Edit: Turns out I cannot read as well as I thought I could without glasses - the code is actually for an hour special with Rei and Kazuki's voice actors. I can't share recordings or anything, but they play mini games. (Who can thread a needle the fastest, quizzes on small details in the anime [they had to remember what pattern was on Kazuki's underwear lol], folding socks fastest, a cook off where they make french toast and more!)

The DVD case! The only complaint I have about these cases is the fact that they don’t click shut — they’re cardboard, similar to the ED song album. My only fear is that stuff falls out as I put it away, but it’s a small fear and not really a big deal.

We have shopping with Kyu-Chan! And of course Rei and Miri on the DVD

Disc on the left is episodes 5 and 6…. And disc on the right is the Drama CD Vol 2!

(I’m not planning to immediately translate it as I’d like a break after I finish drama Vol 1, but if no one else does it, again, I’ll take a crack at it lol)

The booklet! Same stuff as before is in it: image references of scenes in the episodes (the daycare especially). And a new art! You may have seen the left side all over Twitter — well, the right side is here too! Since it’s for the drama, and the drama preview is about Kyu-Chan’s stalker… I’m guessing that might be her?

The drawing image is of all the children’s parents — with of course oil baron Rei and comedian Kazuki.

The caption in the bottom says:

園児たちの絵描き

Enjitachi no e kaki

Kindergarten student’s drawings.

Aaannnddd that’s a wrap! I’ll see y’all next time for Vol 4… (but I suspect you’ll be seeing me much sooner for the Drama Vol 1 translation)

またね〜

Imagine kyu having like writers block or smth for a song when you come in the studio at just the right time to give him the fuck of his life….and that ladies and gents, is how MOVE was born

He'd be sitting in front of his computer, trying to figure out what to do further but luckily you come in the studio just in time to see him (or so you thought). He'd stop working and pull you on his lap, as he complains on how he has writers block and can't come up with lyrics for his song, which gives you an idea. You slide off his lap and get on your knees in front of him, as you pull down his pants and boxers. He doesn't stop you as you eagerly grab his cock. He'd make you take off your shirt and only leave your bra on, as you both adjust yourselves so he can fuck your tits. Let's just say that was all he needed to create something like MOVE.

Kitty (part 12)

Parts 1-11 here. Rei x (afab) reader

Kyu remains silent for the rest of the drive. Rei’s words circle around your head.

“You need to go, Kitty. It’ll be all right.”

Kazuki had said that too – why did you need to go? It didn’t make any sense. They’d said you could stay there as long as you wanted, what’s theirs is yours, you’re part of the family… so why had they changed their mind now? Had something happened? Had Misaki said something about you being around Miri? Had you done something wrong? But that didn’t make sense either, Rei had held you in his arms all night. Surely if you’d done something wrong or upset him, he wouldn’t have done that, he would’ve been mad or distant or angry… It doesn’t make sense. You felt settled and safe for the first time in years and now the carpet has been pulled out from under you. Stupid, stupid girl. His voice had been getting quieter in your head, but now it’s back with a vengeance.

You’re not sure how much time has passed or even what city you’re in now when Kyu begins to slow the car to a stop in a suburban street.

“We’re here.” He pulls on the handbrake, switches the engine off and undoes his seatbelt. He looks over his shoulder. “Before we go in, I’ve told them I’m a social worker who’s been assigned to you after you were rescued.”

You nod, though you know it’s not a question as such but a statement. Kyu exits the car. He goes to the trunk first, retrieving the duffel bag, before he opens your door and steps back, waiting.

You undo your own seatbelt before stepping out of the car – there isn’t much alternative. You feel horrendously sick. You’re surprised it didn’t hit you earlier. Breakfast had been Kazuki’s rich French toast – laden with syrup – and now it’s all swirling around your stomach as you take in your surroundings.

It’s a large, unassuming building peeking out over a large concrete wall. There’s an iron bar gate with a buzzer besides it and Kyu presses it confidently. You assume this must be the entrance.

“Hello?” The voice is robotic through the speaker.

“It’s Kyu Kugi. I have an appointment.”

“Can you present your identification to the camera, sir?”

Kyu digs in his pocket and pulls out a card – a fake ID, you guess - holding it towards the lens as requested.

There’s a pause for a moment. “Thank you. Come in.” The gate pops open as a loud buzz emits. You wonder if this is the last time you’ll be this side of it. The other side of the gate is completely different though, opening out into a garden, which you imagine would be pretty in the spring sunshine but is a little gloomy in the grey of December. There’s a water fountain in the middle of it, trickling gently. Opposite the fountain is a few stairs leading up to a double set of metal doors, where a kind-faced middle-aged woman with a blonde bob is standing. She’s dressed in a soft pink cardigan over a white shirt and slacks, her hands clasped in front of her and a warm smile on her face.

“Kyu, I presume.” She nods in greeting, before her eyes turn to you. “And you must be Kitty. I’m Hikoti. It’s lovely to meet you both.”

You stare at the woman for a moment before dropping your eyes to the stairs. Your stomach is still swirling violently and this is all becoming far too real.

“Are you feeling all right, Kitty?”

“It’s been a stressful morning,” Kyo replies on your behalf.

“That’s understandable. Come inside, I’ll get you a glass of water and we can talk, okay?”

She leads the two of you up the stairs into what is a small reception area. Another woman is sat behind the desk, typing away. There’s another set of heavy double doors, this time with a keypad and card scanner to the side. Hikoti presses her staff card against it and the door gives a thud as the lock releases.

“I know it might seem intimidating with all these locks, Kitty, but it’s to keep unwanted people out, not to keep you in.” Hikoti holds the door open and waves you and Kyu through. You want to believe her, but you can’t quite bring yourself to – why else would she bring attention to it? The woman leads you through to what you assume is her office – a spacious room with a desk, a sofa and a coffee table with a couple of low chairs.

“Take a seat, please, get comfortable, and I’ll go grab some water.” You sit on the sofa. It’s firmer than the one at ho… You stop the thought, you don’t want to cry in front of the two of them. Kyu takes the other end of the sofa, keeping distance between the two of you.

Hikoti returns a few moments later, holding a tray with three glasses and a pitcher filled with ice-cold water. She pours the three of you each a glass before she sits down opposite you in one of the chairs, hands once again clasped in her lap. You nod, slightly, taking a sip of the water and hoping it’ll settle your stomach before carefully placing it back down.

“I know it’s a little overwhelming here, Kitty. So I’ll introduce myself again, okay? I’m Hikoti and I run this centre. It’s my job to make sure everyone remains safe and well, and help you adjust after what’s happened to you.” She speaks softly, slowly, as if to a child. You continue staring at the glass of water.

“Kitty?” Kyu asks. You realise they want acknowledgement, so you nod, meeting the woman’s eyes briefly. “Sorry, she’s usually a little more talkative. As I said, it was a stressful morning…”

“That’s okay. Kitty, I know it must be a bit scary to be here but I promise you, this is a safe place where no-one can hurt you anymore.” She leaves a pause in case you speak, but you don’t, opting to dig your nails into your palms instead. You know she sees.

“Kyu’s shared your history with us. I understand this is be a big adjustment after all those years, but we’re going to try our best to make it as easy as possible.”

You wonder how much he told them. He could have only got his information from Kazuki, surely. Was it all in preparation for this?

“I’ll tell you a little bit more about our centre. Don’t worry if you forget – I know it’s a lot to take in. I’ve got a welcome pack you can keep in your room to refer to, or you can speak to any of the staff and they can explain it all. Our aim is to help women escape harmful situations, rebuild their confidence and abilities, and readapt to the world. We have an in-house medical team, consisting of doctors, nurses and therapists who you’ll see regularly, if need be. We’ll do workshops and life-building skills. You’ll have free time too, of course, and you can leave the premises to do whatever you wish. For now, though, whilst you settle in and become comfortable, we’d like you to stay within the grounds. I’m sure it won’t be for long and it is to keep you safe.”

You’re very aware that ‘we’d like you to stay within the ground’ means you aren’t leaving the grounds.

“Sounds good.” Kyu responds for you.

“We cater for ten women here, so you’ll have some company. We can introduce you to them later on, though. I know this must be overwhelming enough already. Is there anything you’d like to ask me, Kitty?”

You look up at her then and she smiles, kindly, genuinely. But you shake your head. You can’t say what you want to – there’s no point – so what’s the use of saying anything at all?

“Well, my door is always open if anything comes to mind later. How about we show you to you to your room? I’m afraid you missed lunch, but we kept aside some sandwiches so I can send those up for you two whilst you get settled.”

“That’s very kind of you. I’m afraid I can’t stay for long, but I’m sure Kitty would appreciate that.” Kyu replies. You dutifully get to your feet as they do and follow the woman along the corridor, past a few doors where you can hear some muted chat behind. She leads you up a set of stairs to a long corridor – ten identical doors, five a side, and whiteboards on them, each displaying a woman’s name. Halfway down she stops at a door – ‘Kitty’ is written in black marker pen in a cursive hand.

“This’ll be your room whilst you’re with us, okay? I’ll let you and Kyu have a look around and I’ll go see about that lunch.” Hikoti opens the door for the two of you and steps back, gesturing you in. You step inside as Kyu thanks the woman, and swiftly steps in behind you, shutting the door as you hear her footsteps retreat down the hall.

“Seems all right here, huh?” He places the duffel bag down on the floor, looking around the room. There’s a single bed, a desk, a chair and a dresser. There’s another door within the room that’s open, leading to an en-suite. It feels sterile to you after being in Rei’s room. “It’ll be good for you in the long-run, Kitty.”

There it is again – why does everyone else get to decide what’s good for you? You were doing well, you were happy, why is everyone suddenly acting as if you weren’t?

You sit down heavily on the bed and stare at your feet. Kyu sighs before he crouches down in front of you, trying to get in your line of sight.

“Okay, I admit Kazuki could’ve handled it better, but surely you’ve got to understand that you don’t belong in their world, especially after what you’ve already been through. I don’t know what they were thinking. And I’m taking some of the blame here because I let it go on too long, but I’m making it right now, okay? For you and Miri.”

The mention of the little girl breaks your silence. “M-Miri?”

Kyu nods. “She’s going to go and live with her mother – where she should be.”

“B-b-but…”

“I promise you – give it time,” he cuts across your protests, “you’ll realize this is where you should be and you’ll have forgotten all about them.”

Forgotten? You want to say that it’s impossible, that you could never forget any of them, how could he think that? How could you forget Kazuki’s joy when he was cooking, Miri’s squeal when she was excited, Rei’s shy smiles, the way you felt when you held hands, or how safe you felt within his arms…? But, the bitter thought wins over, you’d forgotten your own name – stupid girl - so why not them too?

There’s a knock on the door. Kyu answers and it’s Hikoti, bringing in the promised sandwiches – a plate covered in clingfilm - along with the welcome pack and a bag of what she calls ‘essentials’. She places it all down on the desk, says you’re welcome to wander around the centre, of course you are, but she understands if you just wanted to take the day to settle. You don’t want to settle, you want to go home.

She asks Kyu to pop by her office before he leaves and then she’s gone again, leaving the two of you alone in the room.

“T-take me h-h-home.” You’re trying not to cry. “Please.”

“Kitty,” he crouches down in front of you again. “I can’t do that. Besides, that wasn’t your home.”

“I d-don’t un-understand. D-d-did I do s-something w-wrong?” Your breath catches in your throat again.

“No, but Kazuki and Rei did. I don’t disagree with them taking you out of Aktomi’s place, but they should’ve taken you to a hospital or a place like this straightaway. I don’t know how they’ve looked after Miri for so long, but you need proper help.”

“They w-were help-helping m-me.” The tears are burning your eyes now, but you’re trying your best to hold them in.

“I know you think that but, Kitty, come on,” he lowers his voice now, “they’re assassins, a part of the underworld that abducted you. What help could they really be? Surely you want away from all that.”

“I w-w-was away f-from it.” You stress back.

“No, you weren’t.” He sighs. “Look, they didn’t tell you this because they didn’t want to scare you, but maybe this is the only way. Being associated with them makes you vulnerable – it put a target on yours and Miri’s backs. Rei’s father was asking questions and, trust me, you don’t want him being interested in you. This keeps both you and them safe, understand?”

“Rei’s f-father?”

“He expects Rei to inherit the Organization and he has no qualms in eliminating anything he deems as a distraction. I’ve seen how you and Rei are around each other, and I’ve also seen what happens to those who don’t uphold what the Boss deems the values of the Organization. As his son and heir, Rei’s held to an even higher standard. Trust me – this is the only way.”

You’re silent at that – would the Boss really hurt Rei over you? You’d seen the scars on his chest, you thought they’d been from some of his jobs, but was it possible some were from his own father…?

Kyu continues. “You’ll also understand why I think it’s best if you don’t talk about Rei, Kazuki or Miri anymore, okay?”

You swallow – hard. “O-okay.”

“Good. The refuge is going to let me know how you’re getting on, but I don’t intend to come back – a clean slate for everyone, huh?” He gets to his feet, slips his hands in his pockets. “I do wish you all the best, though, Kitty.”

He closes the door behind you, but you keep staring at the floor where he used to be.

Hours pass – the conversation with Kyu swirling around your head. Is it true? Is that really why they sent you away? Was whatever this connection you had with Rei really putting lives in danger? Hikoti visits again at 6pm, takes you down for dinner, introduces you to the other women there but their names all go over your head. You pick at some food, your appetite still eluding you. The woman besides you says something about how she was also too nervous to eat when she arrived and that you’ll get there. You nod, politely.

In the bag Hikoti brought earlier, you find brand-new toiletries and some sets of clothes to wear. A lot of other women came here in different circumstances than you, with nothing at all. The black duffel bag still sits in the corner, untouched since Kyu placed it down hours ago. You assume it’s full of the clothes they’d bought you and you don’t know whether you can face wearing or seeing any of them again – won’t it hurt too much?

The tears burn at your eyes again. You push the duffel bag into the corner and you take out pyjamas from the bag of clothes the refuge provided, swallowing down the lump in your throat.

Kazuki and Rei had picked up Miri together that afternoon – silently noting it was the last time they would. They hadn’t spoken much since that morning. Kazuki busied himself with chores whilst Rei retreated to the tub, saying he wanted to catch up on some sleep. He felt beyond tired though, and found himself staring at the ceiling. The look on your face when he’d shut Kyu’s car door was burnt into his brain. It wasn’t how he wanted to remember you, but it was all he could think about. They were doing the right thing, though, weren’t they? He knew how serious his father was about what was expected of him, of what his father had done to those who disobeyed his will. Again, the image of his instructor’s wife flashes in his brain.

He's done the right thing. Maybe that’s why it hurts so much.

Miri was delighted to see her papas both there – clearly she’d forgotten her foul mood from this morning – but on the arrival back at the apartment, she noticed your absence.

“Papa Rei, where’s Kitty?”

It was inevitable they’d have to tell Miri – of course she’d ask – but Rei’s frozen as the little girl looks up at him, her head tilted in confusion. Kazuki comes to his rescue.

“Miri,” The blonde knelt down, tugging her around to face him, “Remember Kitty’s voice was poorly and she couldn’t remember her name when we first met her?”

“Yeah, but her voice got better.”

“Yeah, that’s right. Well, Kitty’s gone somewhere to help her to continue to get better. She’s sorry she didn’t get to say goodbye, but the place is really far away and she had to leave straight away…”

“Oh. Won’t she come back when she’s better?”

“I’m not sure, Miri. We don’t know how long it’s going to take Kitty to feel better. It might be a long time.”

Miri frowns for a moment, before taking it all on her chin and giving a brave little nod. She looks back to Rei, standing to the side, and leans in to whisper in Kazuki’s ear. “Is Papa Rei sad?”

“Yeah, I think he is.”

Miri nods, solemnly, before running over and hugging his legs. “It’s okay, Papa Rei. Kitty wouldn’t want you to be sad. She likes it when you smile, remember?”

Rei ruffles her hair, forces a smile. “Yeah, she does.”

Days pass.

You miss them.

You have a thorough check-up with a doctor, who seems to have notes in front of her in Kazuki’s handwriting. He must’ve written it all down when you got back that night. The doctor’s nice enough, agrees with what was said at the cash-in-hand clinic. The refuge has a full-time kitchen staff, a laundress and cleaning staff, they just want you to take the time to adjust, heal and overcome. Let us look after you, they stress. You’re given a schedule of workshops and activities – in a group and solo – and you listen and try and engage, fill out the worksheets as directed, try and face some of the unhealthy thinking habits you’d developed. The therapist is nice – she seems to know what you’re thinking before you even say it and, slowly, you begin to open up again about what happened in the house, what he did, what he said… and his voice quietens down again. You miss them, but you don’t talk about them.

Four days after you had arrived there, you place the duffel bag on the bed and finally begin to unpack. You can tell Rei must’ve packed it – his folds aren’t as neat as Zuki’s but it’s clear he tried his best. You transfer each of the garments into the dresser drawers carefully until you reach the very bottom. There’s a shirt that’s not yours – a cartoon cat smiling up at you. It’s Rei’s – the one with the cat in a pocket back and front. You clutch it to your chest – he must’ve grabbed it from the laundry basket because it smells like him. Something crinkles as you hold it – tucked inside is a drawing of you, Miri, Kazuki and Rei in Miri’s cute style.

You slip the drawing under your clothes in the dresser and go to bed, cuddling the t-shirt.

You miss them, but they’re safe and that should suffice. Maybe tomorrow the hollow feeling in your stomach will pass.

The days all blur into one since Miri went home with Misaki. The last day with her had been difficult. Rei knew they were doing the right thing, but there were moments in the day he’d look over his shoulder for you wanting to see your reaction, the adorable look on your face when you were charmed by something, but then he’d remember.

He games all night, sleeps all day, emerges for food once in a while, which he and Kazuki eat in the dark – all instant stuff. If Kazuki has noticed the plush lion that is now always besides the tub with Miri’s rubber duck, he’s kind enough not to mention it. Nor the fact that his phone’s background is the photo of him and you at the zoo. He’ll delete it before he returns home.

He will, but not now.

You’ve been opening up more in the sessions recently. They seem surprised, commenting on how well you seem to be doing already. You realise it’s because they think you’re only weeks out of there. Kazuki, Rei and Miri have been some sort of therapy for you in another way, you supposed.

There’s a calendar in your room – void of any of the comments that were on the ones at home, of course, but Miri had drilled this particular date into your mind. It’s the day of her concert, when she’s going to be singing Silent Night with her class. You wonder if Misaki, Rei and Kazuki will all go together. Surely, even if Miri has gone to live with her, Kazuki and Rei would still be allowed to see that?

You try to push the thought to your back of your mind as you leave your room to head down for breakfast, but there’s a hub of activity at the end of the hallway. Hikoti is in whispered discussions with two other staff members.

“Good morning, Kitty.” Hikoti smiles when she sees you. “Do you mind popping by my office before you go for breakfast, please?”

“S-sure.” You nod and follow the woman down the stairs. She encourages you to take a seat on the too firm sofa.

“There was an incident this morning which I believe you should be aware of.”

“O-okay.” You don’t like the sound of that.

“I don’t say this to frighten you – it’s been dealt with, but it would help if we had some more information about the nature of it. Do you know a man called Rei Suwa?”

Your stomach flips. Is this a test from Kyu, to see if you would tell them about Kazuki and Rei? Or did Rei come for you? Could his father have changed his mind, somehow…? The possibility of seeing Rei again wins.

“Yes.”

“And is this him?” She slides over a photograph from what looks like the CCTV at the gate, but when you see the man in the grainy image, your stomach sinks.

“N-no, t-that’s n-not him.”

“Mm. Do you know who he is?”

It’s that man from Kyu’s café – weeks ago now. The one with the protruding eyes and the blank stare, the one who made you feel uneasy. You shake your head.

“I’ve s-seen h-h-him before, but I don’t know h-his n-name, though. S-sorry.”

“That’s okay,” Hikoti removes the photograph from your view. “He was at the gate early this morning asking for you by name. We didn’t confirm you were here – we don’t give out anyone’s names as a safety concern. He refused to leave, so we called the police. He finally left after he heard the sirens.”

You nod. Is this what they’d been trying to protect you from?

“I’m sorry if this has upset you too, but I wouldn’t worry about it, okay? You’re safe here. It looked to me like he was a journalist. He kept pulling out a notebook of sorts. Sadly, they go to horrible lengths to get a story.”

A horrible thought dawns on you - if he had come for you, would he try for them next? “C-can y-y-you let Kyu k-know, p-please?”

“Of course.”

Kyu hesitates before he says it. They haven’t told him their plans, but he can guess and what he’s about to say is probably just going to add fuel to the fire, but after the events of last night they should know. “Ogino was at the women’s refuge early this morning.”

“What?” Kazuki and Rei say in perfect unison.

Rei’s heart is in his mouth. “Is Kitty okay? What happened?”

“She’s fine.” He stresses. “He didn’t get anywhere near her. I told you, this place is good. He tried to get in by saying he was Rei Suwa, the idiot. He refused to leave, but when they called the police he scarpered. Probably regrouping.”

“Well, hopefully we’ll see him at our little chat, huh?” Kazuki nudges Rei.

“You need these to chat?” Kyu quips as he opens the trunk, handing over the case.

“You know what the Suwa family is like.”

“Rei…” Kazuki says cautiously. Miri’s asleep upstairs and the two men have been sitting in silence in the living room. Kazuki’s been watching trashy television whilst Rei’s been scrolling on his phone. They’ve been holed up in Kyu’s safe house a few days now, since after Miri’s Christmas concert. They didn’t really want to go back to the apartment funded by the Organization. Kazuki had hired a packing service to box things up from there and transfer them to a storage unit. He was waiting until after the holidays to try and find them a new apartment with the money Karin hadn’t taken – a smaller, more affordable apartment - but Kyu had said the house was theirs for as long as they needed it. He dropped off supplies and, thankfully, painkillers. They would need something closer to Miri’s daycare come January, though, but there was still some time.

“You know, Kyu said he can go take you to see her in the new year, if you like.”

“No.” It’s not the answer Rei’s heart gives, but he’s already been lucky enough escaping with Miri. He doesn’t want to chance it, he can’t risk it.

“Rei…” Kazuki sighs. He knows Rei is thrilled to have Miri back, he is too – it’s more than he could’ve ever dreamed of – but when Miri’s asleep, Rei seems to deflate. He thought at first it was due to his arm, but Rei had never been one to feel sorry for himself when injured or sick – it is what it is, he’d shrug off. He appeared to have already come to terms with the sacrifice he’d made. So there’s only one other explanation Kazuki can see and it’s one he knows - he’s lovesick.

“Kitty deserves better than me.”

“Don’t you think you should ask her what she wants? I mean, I’m pretty confident what her answer will be.”

“It’s like you said at the top of the Ferris wheel – I had more than my fair share.”

He goes back to his phone, signaling the conversation is over.

Kyu’s in the café, wiping down the counter when his phone rings. He sees the caller ID and answers, a little hesitant.

“Hello?”

“Hi, Kyu. It’s Hikoti. Are you free to talk?”

Kyu casts an eye over the empty café. “Of course – is everything okay?”

“Yes, sorry, I should’ve started with everything’s fine. Kitty’s doing incredibly well, to be honest with you – she’s continued to engage well in therapy, workshops, the activities. That’s why I’m calling - we review each woman’s progress bi-weekly and, well, we’re not sure how much more we can do for her here.”

“Already?” You’d only been there a few weeks, after all. Could it have been that whatever Kazuki and Rei had been doing with you had actually set you off on the right foot…?

“I know it seems quick but we are all of the same opinion. I want to stress that it’s never a decision the team take lightly and, of course, she’ll need to continue some of the things we’ve worked on independently, but I do think we should begin to look into what the next step for Kitty might look like.”

“Mm.”

“We wouldn’t ask her to leave or force her out until we knew she’d have a safe and stable place to go to, it’s just you’ll appreciate how our capacity is limited and there are others who need our help. Besides, it’s unfair on Kitty to hold her back, especially after she already lost so many years to those horrible circumstances.” Hikoti sighs.

“I don’t intend to put pressure on you, just to raise it. Ideally, this is when we’d recommend they return to live with family or a trusted friend, but I remember from our initial conversation you were having difficulty in locating any relatives for her.”

Kyu pulls open one of the drawers under the register without thinking, moving a couple of envelopes out of the way until he can see a photograph.

“Funnily enough, Hikoti, I think I might have a lead…”

You’re worried when you see Kyu sat in Hikoti’s office – she’d asked you to come by after breakfast. He said you wouldn’t hear from him again, so why is he here? Did something happen…?

“Hi, Kitty.” He smiles, though there’s something different. It’s a genuine one, rather than the sympathetic one from a few weeks ago. “You’re looking really well.”

“T-thank y-you.” You sit down, hesitantly, on the sofa.

Hikoti smiles, trying to sooth your nerves. “It’s okay, Kyu’s here with good news. Or at least we hope you’ll think of it as good news.”

It’s then you notice that Kyu’s holding a manilla file in his hand.

“I think I’ve found your family.”

Your eyes widen at that. Family? It had just been you and your father in your spotty memory. Is it some sort of relative - some great aunt or cousin twice-removed?

“I’ve spoken to them and, if you’re happy to, they’d like you to come stay with them for a bit.” He places down the file and slides it over. “The information’s all in there, if you want to take a look.”

You can’t stop your hand shaking as you pull it closer to you, flipping it open. There’s a document but your eyes focus solely on the photograph that’s clipped in front. It’s of three people – a little girl holding aloft a gold medal with a huge smile on her face, a blonde man to her right, beaming, and a dark-haired man to her left, a cute, but awkward smile on his face. You can’t stop the smile on your own before you look up to meet Kyu’s eyes.

“My family?” You repeat. “T-they w-want me?” You’re trying to contain yourself in front of Hikoti. You have so many questions.

Kyu nods, “If you’ll have them.”

Am I extremely cruel for making you all wait another chapter for a reunion?! Maybe... I hope this snippet-style across the days reads okay, I didn't want to rehash a lot of the stuff we already know!
