No Where To Run: Trapped With My Archenemy

After contemplating over sometime, Ming Yue decided to give Tora a call and speak to him. But before that she need to change into something else. She might have managed to fool her sister in law, but it won't be the same with Tora who had a superior fashion sense among the entire Kobayashi clan.

He would easily see through her lies, will catch the very next flight to check whether she is fooling around with anyone else.

"Noooo.... that will ruin the entire plan." Ming Yue almost cursed and held on to the bottom of the hoodie. However, just as she raised her arms to remove the hoodie, Kousuke's panicky voice heard from outside.

Something is wrong.

She dropped the idea of changing clothes and immediately knelt on the floor and pulled out her bag that was kept under the bag.

In Swift motions, she fished out a palm sized knife and hid inside her sleeves and dashed outside.

However, when she entered the living room, she saw a calm Yojiro on the couch and a panicky Kousuke chugging down an entire bottle of water.

"Oh Nechan...you are home." Kousuke wiped his mouth and rushed towards Ming Yue as if he got chased by a mad dog.

"Thank God, atleast you are safe. We..we. escaped from death..by the length of hair strand. He blabbered while trying to catch his breath.

"It's breadth...or hair strand's width." Yoji who silently listened to the other, corrected with a dead-pan expression on his face.

"What if it is length or breadth, we had a narrow escape from getting stabbed by a crazy boy." Kousuke argued back and turned to face Ming Yue who appeared clueless before him.

"Nechan, you won't believe me...what happened in the club...only god knows how many people are died there."

Watching Kousuke's restlessness, Ming Yue sighed heavily and made him sit on the couch as she took the seat opposite to her brothers.

"You take a break and Yoji," She called for Yojiro who was the apt person to report whatever happened to them.

"Since you weren't coming home and refrained us from calling you, we thought we will also go and enjoy the new year eve in some club."

"Hmm."

"Everyone was drinking and dancing.."

"Smoking and doing drugs." Kousuke who shut his mouth to catch a breath, added when he saw that Yojiro has missed an important detail.

"Yes. Everyone was enjoying and all of sudden, we heard a girl's crying. Some one has stabbed her with the bottle and that guy even tried to attack everyone who came in his way too."

"And," Ming Yue's eyes narrowed down as she carefully listened to Yojiro, her pretty face turning darker as the time goes by.

"We ran from there before the police came. But unfortunately on the way back we ran into that police officer whom we met in Rising Ravens." Yojiro somehow managed to tell her the truth and prepared to himself to hear an earful from his Nechan.

"We thought it was the safest club to go-" Just as Kousuke opened his mouth to speak, his words were cut off by Ming Yue's sharp gaze.

"Are you kidding me Kousuke? Out of all the clubs in the city, why did you go to that place? Even though Ming Yue spoke flatly, they could really sense her anger that was hidden behind her eyes.

"How would we know that some stoner guy will stab his ex over there?" Kousuke tried to convince her that it was totally an unexpected incident that shook him.

"Haven't you seen that place is frequently raided by all the police officers in imperial?" Ming Yue tried to remind him their first visit Rising Ravens.

"If some police car comes to this street, I will kill both of you." She stated with an expressionless face that was even more scarier than anything else in the world.

"But there is something I would like to tell you, Nechan. Someone did smuggled drugs from Daisun." Kousuke informed her, even though he knew that Ming Yue was disappointed at him.

"The stuff we got today…I mean I didn't use it...I just saw everyone using it...but it was indeed from Daisun." He said as a matter of fact and glanced at Yojiro who confirmed his words with a faint nod.

"I trieded to talk to the dealer guy-"

"You did what?" Ming Yue repeated as if she hadn't hear him properly,

"I tried to talk to the dealer regarding the place where they get the stuff and-" When he saw the murderous glare on Yojiro's eyes, he stopped in the midsentence and jutted his chin to ask what's wrong.

"Kousuke….why are you so dumb?" Yojiro let out a sigh and stood up from the seat, leaving other to deal with Ming Yue's anger. They were trying to keep a low-key profile, but thanks to someone's stupidity their entire existence has been put into danger.

With a cold smile gleaming on her lips, Ming Yue stood up from her seat and sat next to Kousuke who began to tremble in fear.

"Kousuke..." She gently called his name and placed her arm on his shoulder, while staring directly into his frightened eyes.

"Nechan…I did it because…I thought it would be helpful for us." He spoke in a broken voice and glanced at Yojiro for help.

"Yes, you did a great job." Ming Yue patted his shoulders and turned to face Yojiro who took a bottle of water from the fridge as if he is unrelated to any of the things that was happening between Kousuke and his Nechan.

"Yoji…book him a ticket and send him away before he comes up another way to H.E.L.P" Ming Yue emphasized on the word help and tightened her grip over Kousuke's shoulder, sending chills down his spine.

"Nechan…I'm sorry…I was wrong...I made a mistake." When he saw that Ming Yue has decided to send him off, he joined his palms and rubbed it together, while begging her to let him stay.

"Do you know what you have done wrong?" Ming Yue who completely ignored his pleadings, wrapped his arms over him, not so friendly way and began to elaborate,

"First, you went to that club and got your name in their visitor's list. Since there was a crime, the police will look for every single name on the list and where will they reach in the end?" She inquired in a jovial tone, only to scare the boy who was quavering in her arms.

"He…hee…here." Kousuke involuntarily answered in a shaky voice.

"Good, secondly you talked to the drug peddlers and even tried to get their location. So they will definitely want to silence all those who have a chance to share their location with the police. So where will they reach in the end?" She asked again as if she was talking to child.

"Here." Kousuke pointed at the floor and stated,

"So what will happen if they come here?"

"Either they will kill me or the police will find out that we are illegal immigrants." Kousuke admitted in a barely audible voice while trying to avoid her scrutinizing gaze.

"No…no..there is something else…something that needs more immediate action?" She paused, a moment for Kousuke to finish what she was intending to say. However, instead of Kousuke, it was Yojiro who answered her question.

"Nechan, shall we move to somewhere else?" Yojiro returned to the living room and joined the conversation.

"That would raise more suspicion. Let's track them down."

"But if they recognizes you,that would create more trouble for us."

"Big brother will know…Tora will know and All of us will be dead either by police or by drug cartel or by Kobayashi clan itself" Kousuke almost cried when he realised the gravity of the mistake that he has done. "What will we do now?"

"Let me try if I can hack into Rising Ravens visitors data and erase the information." Yojiro volunteered to minimise the impact of the impending horror.

"Since we were dragged into this mess, let's try our best to see the end of it. You two start tracking the dealers even before they come for us." Ming Yue paused and released Kousuke from her hold, only to take out the knife that hid in her sleeves.

"I will keep an eye on the police force."She declared in a firm and resolute tone.

The moment her words resonated in the silent room, even Yojiro who always remained calm and quiet, raised his brows as a sudden uneasiness spread over his mind.

"But Nechan it is equally dangerous..that police officer, he is hell bound on catching the drug mafia from Daisun. It is dangerous, let's not dwell into this." Yojiro tried his best to persuade Ming Yue to stay away from the imperial police force.

"It's alright, I have a trump card in my hand.." Ming Yue took out a visiting card from her pocket and placed on the table with a smile.
