"You are jealous~" Kasumi didn't forget to add as she nibbled on the chocolate bar. The three of us sat within the coffee shop, the blizzard is still raging outside. A lot of people stay within the café for shelter, I could see the profitable smile of the lady boss's face. I drank the hot chocolate Yui ordered for the three of us, I smack my lips, too sweet, still prefer hers. "No, I am not!" Yui snapped. "J-just that, I saw that his arm is stiff and suspect that he is injured. I am just worried." She came up clean of her reason, so that's why. "Especially when another girl is involved." She didn't forget to add the main point.
"Too bad he is already mine. We already slept on the same bed." Kasumi spoke proudly as she grabbed my arm. "We just take a bath together yesterday." She declared proudly. "No! you are not going to!" Yui stood up and shouted, almost everyone in the café shoot us dirty looks upon seeing her reaction. "Who is that weirdo girl who is acting like a boy." One of them whispered under their breath. I shoot him a dirty look; he immediately stay shut. "It is actually just a misunderstanding." I pulled Yui back down.
"Why are you keeping her at your house?" she asked, confused by my action. "According to that investigator, she is the one that is responsible for the b-" "Shhh!" I covered my hand onto Yui mouth while Kasumi placed her finger on her lips and shushed. "I will explain to you once we return alright?" I told her, not here, there are way too many people in here. "Mow!" She spoke, muffled. "Ai wantew ewplainawions wight now!" "Please!" I grabber hand and squeezed it tightly as I imitated the rape eyes of those anime protagonists. "Trust me."
Holy shit that seems to work. Her face blushes before nodding, I tried to let go of her hand, but she had locked her fingers on it. And this is how we spent the next hour, me sandwiched between two girls, don't know whether this is a lucky sign or not. And when the wind finally settles, the three of us, alongside some of the other people in the café get up and exited back to the streets. "So, you wanted to follow me back?" I asked Yui, she is still grabbing my hand while Kasumi grabbing my other arm.
"Of course." She replied. "Who knows the stray cat that you pick just days ago would scratch you in the face." She scoffed, staring at Kasumi. Kasumi stare back without any fear, here we go again, the goddamn tension. "M-meow~" And speaking of stray cats, the moment we arrived at my apartment's front door, we saw a cat cuddling in front of it. God of lucky and coincidence, you sure as hell are a bitch. "You alright little buddy?" Upon seeing the cat, Yui immediately approached to check it out.
"M-meow~" It meowed back; its fur were frozen stiff from the blizzard. It is shaking furiously in cold, even its meows were rough like a rock and roll singer. "It is a white cat, pure white, very, very white. If not for its blue eyes and meows, I would've passed by and even step onto it without even noticing. "We need to bring it indoors." She hug the cat up. "My house?" I asked. "Why not? It chose you?" Yui tilted her head and asked, a typical action of her when she is asking someone for help. "Argh fine." I let out a groan. "Make sure to keep it in the bathroom." I let out one last rule before opening the apartment door.
"I thought we had a deal." I stare at the cat messing with my blanket sheets. "How could you do that? It is inhuman." Yui stare at me unhappily as she sat on my bed and patted the cat. She is always like that, protecting the weak. And luckily for her, I am able to made it till this day. The cat seem better right now as the two played, my eyes had weed filter. Cause all I see is two Niko girls cuddling at each other. "So" Yui asked as she rub the cat's belly. "Explanations?"
"Alright, alright." I waved my hands. I drank down a cup of lukewarm water and cleared my throat. "This is a very serious matter alright? It may seem weird, but it is the truth." Kasumi stare at me, her eyes begging me not to, she couldn't trust Yui.
"Kasumi is a survivor from the bombing attack a few days ago." "Huh?" The two stare at me in disbelief. When Kasumi is about to open her mouth and ask, I pinched her in the tummy, telling her to shut up. "I met her at the site and brought her back to treat her wound." "Why didn't you call the police or ambulance?" Yui asked the problem in my statement. "B-because I had been hunted down by the terrorist, o-of the bombing attack." Kasumi joined the act. "Be-because they wanted that briefcase and I had it. I didn't wanted to inform the officials because according to my information, the government members are also a part of the terrorist attack." Damn, that is a perfect lie.
"You two, aren't lying?" Yui stare at us, suspiciously. "No!" We replied together. Yui opened her mouth and was about to say something again, but suddenly her phone rang. "Hello?" She picked up the call. "Yes? What? In the hospital!? I am coming, I am coming." She stood up from the bed and hurried to the door. "What happened I asked." "My mom, she slipped at the bathroom." She explained as she wore her shoes. "She is at the hospital right now, gotta go!" "Alright, bye!" I waved my hands while she exited the apartment, closing the door behind her.
"Phew" Seeing her leave, me and Kasumi let out a deep breath. "Why did you lie?" Kasumi asked. "I didn't want any more people to enrol into this mess." I spoke. "Speaking of this mess…" Kasumi mumbled under her breath, the two of us stare at the briefcase I placed at the corner of the room. It had been there since I found it alongside Kasumi at the drain. "Why did the government want this so badly…" I approached the briefcase. But the cat suddenly leapt into the way, hissing towards me before settling on top of it. "Go away!" I waved my hands, but it wouldn't budge. I reach my hands out to grab its collar, but instead I got a scratch on the back of my hand.
"Ouch!" I pulled my hand back and retreated. "What is wrong with this cat?"
