Don't Leave, I Need You

Chapter 59

"Yuzu-chan where the hell did you leave that video game console?" Matsuri asked as she was searching for the console
"It has to be in there somewhere" Yuzu said
"Hey Shai help me!" Matsuri said
"Fine" Shai said and walked up to Matsuri helping her find the console
"Ayyyy! Found it!" Matsuri said
"Let's plug it in" Shai said. The girls went to the TV and started connecting it
"Are you sure it's okay for me to leave Matsuri with you? I can go and look for someone to take care of her" Soha said
"There is no need for that Miss Taniguchi. She is an angel. I've taken care of her before" The lady said
"Ah I see. Well thank you so much. I'd better head back and deal with work and her school" Soha said and walked up to Matsuri
"You behave now okay?" Soha asked and kissed her head softly
"Yes mother" Matsuri said and Soha ruffled her hair a bit. Soha smiled at her and left
"Awww how adorable" Shai giggled
"Sh-shut up" Matsuri said as she blushed a bit
"Have you two finally connected it?" Yuzu asked
"Nope" They both said
"Seriously? Here let me help" Yuzu said and walked up to Matsuri and Shai helping them with the console. Once it was connected, Matsuri immediately began to play
"Come on Shai. Let's play for a bit. You know how to play right?" Matsuri asked
"Of course I do" Shai said
"Hehe but I bet you can't beat the master of this game" Matsuri said
"You're on!" Shai said. The two girls began to play while Yuzu went to her grandmother
"Grandmother are you feeling okay?" Yuzu asked
"Yes I'm fine my dear Yuzu" Her grandmother said and smiled
"Sorry for worrying you..." Yuzu said
"There is no need to apologize. I'm just glad you're okay" Her grandmother said and stroked her hair softly. Yuzu smiled softly and hugged her grandmother
"Do you have to go to work?" Yuzu asked
"I'm afraid so..." Her grandmother said
"No...don't. I can go to the cafe and work over there" Yuzu said
"No Yuzu. Stay. You don't know if anyone else will hurt you" She said
"Okay grandmother" Yuzu said looking down a bit
"Don't worry about me so much Yuzu. I will be okay" Her grandmother said. Yuzu just looked at her and nodded
"Okay grandmother" Yuzu said
"Okay then I better get going" Her grandmother said as she stood up. Yuzu looked at her and watched her leave. Her grandmother said goodbye to the two other girls and walked out the apartment. Yuzu sighed deeply and Matsuri noticed her expression
"Yuzu-chan you feeling okay?" Matsuri asked
"Yeah just tired from all this bullshit..." Yuzu said and walked to her room
"There is something definitely wrong..." Matsuri said
"Probably something with her girlfriend" Shai said
"Ah yes...I heard from Harumin that she was with that Aihara bitch in the mall. Something must've happened between them. If they were able to kidnap Yuzu that easily then she was probably alone with no one to witness the kidnapping" Matsuri said
"You're right but Yuzuko would probably never talk about it. You know how she is about these situations...she always keeps it to herself" Shai said
"Yeah...maybe we should give her time and let her have her moment
"Yeah we should..." Shai said. The two girls were playing video games while Yuzu was just in bed thinking about Mei. After a few minutes the doorbell rung
"Eh? Who could it possibly be?" Matsuri asked
"Probably my mother. She did say she was coming back" Shai said and stood up from her seat. She walked up to the door and opened it revealing the three adults. She blushed deeply seeing Himeko and shut the door as she covered her face.
"Hey what happened? Who is it?" Matsuri asked
"I-it's...them...y-you know your sister and uhm...teacher" Shai said. Matsuri dropped the controller and sighed
Great...why are they here?
Matsuri stood up and walked up to the door. She took a deep breathe before opening the door
"What the hell do you guys want?" Matsuri asked
"Yuzu...where is she? I need you talk to her" Mei said. Matsuri just gave her a glare and looked away opening the door
"She's in her room..." Matsuri said allowing them inside. Harumin immediately ran up to her and wrapped her arms around her
"Are you okay baby? Nothing happened to you right?" Harumin asked
"Y-yeah you can let me go now" Matsuri said trying to get out of her grip but Harumin kept holding ber closely
"Whatever at least let me play" Matsuri said
"Fine" Harumin said and carried her
"E-eh?" Matsuri asked. Harumin walked where Matsuri was sitting then sat down with Matsuri on her lap
"O-okay this will w-work" Matsuri said blushing deeply. Harumin smiled and held her closely. Mei just walked away heading to Yuzu's room. Mei gulped and knocked on the door
"Yuzu...it's me..." Mei said. Yuzu gripped the pillow tightly and growled
"Why are you here?" Yuzu asked
"Yuzu...I'm sorry...please...please forgive me..." Mei pleaded as she leaned against the door
"Leave me alone..." Yuzu said
"Yuzu...please...I'm begging you...just open the door...I want to see you..." Mei said and teared up. Yuzu just kept silent and stayed in bed. Mei sighed deeply and clenched her fists tightly
I need help..
"Awww man!" Shai said and groaned
"Hehehe I win again!" Matsuri said and cheered
"Pfft whatever. Let's go again" Shai said. Mei just wiped the few tears she had and took a deep breathe. She walked away from Yuzu's room and walked to the living room
"Taniguchi-san..." Mei said. Harumin jumped a bit and turned around meeting up with Mei's lavender eyes
"Do you have a moment? I need to talk to you..." Mei said. Harumin stared at her for a moment and nodded
"Okay" Harumin said and got Matsuri off of her
"Hm? Where are you going?" Matsuri asked
"I'm going to see what she wants...I'll be right back" Harumin said and gave her a kiss. Matsuri blushed deeply and Harumin stood up. She walked up to Mei and noticed her expression
"Let's talk outside..." Mei whispered and walked to the door. Harumin followed her and Matsuri felt her heart tighten. She gritted her teeth seeing them both walk out. Once they both walked out, Matsuri sat up dropping the controller
"Matsuri-chan?" Shai asked
"I'm following them..." Matsuri said
"Wait Matsuri-" Matsuri just gave her a glare that told Shai to shut up. Shai felt a shiver go down her spine and just looked down
What's going on? Everything that's happening is turning bad for them...there must be something I could do...right? I can help...I don't want to be a useless bitch...I must be useful for something
Himeko walked up to Shai and kneeled down stroking her hair softly. Shai blushed and turned around to look at Himeko
"You okay?" Himeko asked
"No...I want to help them. I want to fix this..." Shai said
"There is nothing you can do. You must let them fix their problem..." Himeko said
"But...I want Yuzuko to be happy. She always found a way to make me smile and Matsuri...well...she may seem like a troublemaker but she's just a kid. She's our little sister in the group..." Shai said and teared up as she clenched her fists tightly. Himeko wrapped her arms around her and hugged her. Shai buried her head on her shoulders
"I-I want to help them...I don't w-want to be useless and stand there w-watching them suffer...not like this...I want them happy...I-I want them both to be happy..." Shai said and cried a bit. Himeko teared up a bit and held her tightly
"I understand you...I sometimes wish I could help her be happy too..." Himeko whispered
