* I closed the bedroom door behind me, leaning on it, I closed my eyes. How was I supposed to live under the same roof as +Takahiro Yanahi DPI. Every time he looked at me his eyes bore into me as though he could see deep into my soul and knew all my secrets. It unraveled me and made me feel vulnerable. No one has done that to me before. I shook my head and opened my eyes. I had to forget about him and start thinking of the mission ahead. I had to remember what Senichi was capable of if I didn't do my job. I snapped out of my daze and grabbed my suitcase, flinging it onto the bed I unzipped it and made quick work of hanging up my clothes and impressed with how clean everything was I placed my intimates into the dresser drawers. I hid my swords under the mattress on the bed and picked out fresh clothes to put on after my shower. Walking into the bathroom I helped myself to a towel and washcloth, turned the shower on and then slipped off my clothes. The bathroom was spa like. A nice soaking tub, a large shower with tile on three sides and glass on the fourth. Double sinks with lots of counter space. Grabbing my shampoo, conditioner, body soap and oil, I stepped under the spray of the steaming water and let it slowly relax me and then took my time cleaning up. *

  1. As I unpacked I could hear the shower in Kimiko's room. I could picture her, naked under the spray, her firm body wet, soapy. I shook my head to clear the image but, the hard on I was sporting now made it hard..literally. I busied myself with hiding my weapons around the spacious room. That helped plus, knowing that Senichi would blow a gasket if Kimiko and I did get together. Our world was so traditional, so ridged. I wanted nothing to do with most of tjr old ways but, for now I would do only what was needed. I had all of my things unpacked. I thought about a shower but put it off and just changed my shirt. It would be dark soon and we needed to go to town for food and other supplies. With that in mind I left my room and headed to the kitchen to check it out and wait on Kimiko.

  2. * Once out of the shower, I dried off, combed my hair out and pulled it back into a ponytail. After putting a little makeup on, I walked into the room and grabbed some clothes and got dressed. I grabbed my purse and walked out to the kitchen where I found Takahiro looking in the cabinets. * Find any boogeymen? * He turned a smirk on his face. * "No, just wanted to see how equiped the kitchen was. About time you got ready." * I shrugged. * Beauty takes time. * I turned on my heel and headed towards the door. * I'm starving, let's eat! * I could hear Takahiro's footsteps fall in behind me. He grabbed the keys to the SUV and closed the door behind us. It was still daylight out but you could tell the sun was on its downward descent. We both hopped inside the SUV and he started it out and backed out of the drive. * "What are you hungry for?" * I bit my lip, pondering. I had never been to the United States, I was excited to try their different foods, but I really didn't know where to start. * I have no idea, you choose. * He nodded and drove back into the small town of McGregor, the rental house wasn't even a mile away but it was still a private place from the town. We came up on a small pizza place and Takahiro looked at me, I shook my head no and he continued to drive. Then we came up onto a small little cafe that looked so inviting. * Let's try this place tonight!

  3. The cafe was small and didn't jave many cars out front but, it did look nice. I parked and we got out, Kimiko waited for me at the door and being a gentleman, I opened it for her. A little bell over the door rang and Kimiko laughed, I shook my head as the few townsfolk turned to look at us. I smiled and nodded before directing jer to a booth. We sat down and a older female brought us menus. Her nametag said Margaret. She smiled and asked if we were passing through or new in town. I told her we had just moved here and she welcomed us very excitedly. She told us what the specials were and took our drink orders. She told us to take our time and she'd be back to take our order. Kimiko looked through the menu, her smile growing as she basically read the thing to me. I liked how excited she seemed, and happy. It made her beautiful face light up. I set my menu down, listening as she continued to read. So, what sounds good? A burger, Cheeseburger? Fries?

  4. * I looked over my menu at Takahiro and he stared at me with a smile on his face. His eyes had a twinkle in them and I was struck silent for a second by how handsome he was. Finally after feeling my cheeks warm, I broke the silence. * What? * Takahiro laughed. * "Nothing, it's just nice to see you let your guard down and enjoy something new. * There was a cough and we both looked up at Margaret as she smiled slightly and set our drinks down. * "So what will you two kids be having tonight?" * Takahiro waited for me to answer. I looked at the menu one more time. * I'd like the fried chicken, with mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans! * The nice lady looked over at Takahiro and he agreed to the same meal. * I'll have your supper for you in just a few minutes. She gathered our menus and left us. I looked around the quiet cafe, the interior was decorated simple, but homey. * "So afterwards, we'll grab some groceries for the house?" * I took a sip of my drink and nodded. * That sounds like a good idea. Then tomorrow we can start our mission. Scope the town out, find our target. * Takahiro set back as Margaret approached the table and set down a large plate in front of both of us. My eyes lip up when I saw how much food set in front of me. Margaret laughed. * "I could tell that was going to be a lot of food for you. You're such a tiny thing, keep coming here and I'll help plump you up!" * Takahiro laughed and thank her for our meals. * "If you two love birds need anything else just holler." * I went to correct her, we were most definitely not a couple when I felt a sharp kick to my shin. I glared at Takahiro as he agreed that we would most certainly do that. When she was out of hearing distance I went to speak when he spoke up first. * "Kim, it would be easier if the town people thought we were a couple. Even Senichi said so. On the lease for the house he even told them we were married." * I huffed, said nothing and turned my attention to my food. I took a bite of the mashed potatoes and gravy and moaned, closing my eyes as I savored the taste. * "That good, huh?" * I didn't answer and just continued to eat. *

  5. There could be nothing more beautiful than Kimiko enjoying her food. We weren't used to eating like this, and it was quite good. We ate in silence, both of us cleaning our plates. Margaret took our empty plates and asked if we were interested in dessert. I declined, stating I was more than full but, when Margaret mentioned Apple pie with ice cream, Kimiko's eyes lit up and she said she'd loved to try it. I chuckled and Kimiko gave me a glare which only made me chuckle more. Kimiko ignored me as soon as the pie was set in front of her. The first bite had her grinning as she savored it. " This is very good! The apples are warm and the ice cream..I could eat this every day!" Could she be any cuter? When she was done, she sighed happily, something I'd never seen her do. Are you ready to go, or would you like some more? * Kimiko patted her belly and shook her head. Margaret brought our check and I paid her, leaving her a large tip. I thanked her and escorted Kimiko back out to the SUV. Once inside I pulled out and drove down to the only market in town. I parked and turned to Kimiko.* Are you ready to shop now? I could leave you here to nap. * She smacked my arm and I laughed as she got out. I took a moment to just watch her in the light of the setting sun before getting out and locking the doors. Together we headed inside the store.*

  6. * The market here was nothing like the market at home. I looked at Takahiro. * I have no idea what to even get. I should have taken American food cooking classes or something. * Takahiro smirked as he followed along beside me. * "Lucky for you this isn't my first time down this road. We'll have fun figuring it out together. I can make a mean cheeseburger on the grill." * I nodded as he took the lead in the store and followed him down the aisles. He picked out canned vegetables, bread cereals. I looked at him funny when he placed Cookie Crisp in the cart. * "What? Sometimes for breakfast you just need something sweet." * I smiled and turned towards the Honey Nut Cheerios. They looked yummy and would be a nice change to the normal grilled fish or miso soup that was normally prepared for me. I noticed that Takahiro grinned but said nothing. We made our way through the store and filled our cart. Only leaving when he was comfortable that we had enough food for a week. At the check out stand he tossed in a few candy bars, I was shocked when he grabbed my favorite. He smiled at me as he showed them to me. * "These are your favorite, right?!" * My heart thudded and I tried not to blush. * How did you know? * He placed them on the belt that moved the food to the cashier. * "Because I pay attention."

  7. Kimiko was beautiful when she blushed, even more so when flustered. She watched the cashier ring everything up and the teenage boy as he bagged it. I paid and pushed the cart containing our bags out to the SUV. Kimiko followed me and helped me load everything into the back. The ride home was quiet, Kimiko seemed lost in thought. I saw an ice cream shop in town, so perhaps while we are scouting things out we could go? * She smiled slowly. " That would be nice." I nodded, I liked making her smile. I pulled into the drive and parked. Kimiko was out of the SUV before I could say anything. She was opening the back and I joined her, grabbing a couple of bags. It didn't take us long to put everything away and when we were done Kimiko said she was going to bed. I told her good night and watched her go into her room. I stood there for a moment before going out onto the back deck. Standing there I looked up at the sky and in the quiet that surrounded me I wondered how I was going to get through all of this without falling in love with her.*

* Once +Loretta Blackstone told me what she needed I got up and left. Julian handed me his car keys and +Takahiro Yanahi DPI followed me out of the conference room. I was on the verge of losing it, my baby sister was missing. Taken by a witch and I had no idea why they would even want her. The thought's going through my mind of what might be happening to her were dark. I feared for her. I hurried down the hall and burst through the front door of the police station. I needed fresh air and solitude, I knew I couldn't hold myself together much longer. * "Kimiko, yamero." {Kimiko, stop.} * I stopped, but refused to turn around, tears slid down my face and I was ashamed that I was so weak at this moment. Taka turned me gently and pulled me against his chest, slipping the car keys from my hand. Wrapping his arms around me, he let me cry. * "Watashitachiha kaiyo o mitsukerudeshou, watashi wa yakusoku shimasu." {We'll find Kaiyo, I promise."} * I wrapped my arms around his waist. His gentle voice, embrace and his scent helped to calm me. I looked into my mate's eyes. * Why would they want her, Taka? Do you think that Senichi could be behind this? * My mate seemed to think for a minute. * "You and I know Senichi best. We could guess his next move in any situation and act on it before he even had to say anything. He knows he's gonna have to do something that we would never consider. I'm not saying he is behind this, but I wouldn't be surprised if he is." * I nodded, I knew he was right. Taka kissed me. * "Let's get to the house and get what Miss Blackstone needs." * I slipped into the passenger side of Julian's car and tried to pull myself together as Taka drove us to the house. *

* Raechel Hadrian​​ was finally sleeping as I quietly dressed and left the house. I had to deal with Mia before I dealt with the females of the pack. I was still furious, but everything with Jordan McCormick​​ overshadowed it. I still needed to tell Mikaela Kieschnick​​. Maybe I'd call Damon Kieschnick​​ first. Let him decide the best way to tell her. She'd taken to Jordan right off the bat and I think Jordan had loved Mik too. I kicked the truck engine over and rubbed my hands together. It was cold and the sky was just turning a bright orange in the eastern sky. I didn't relish the tasks ahead. I put the truck in gear and headed into town. We didn't have a large police department. It was a few offices for Slade Michaels and Cole Ross, the other enforcers were directed by them. Slade and I had talked about bringing Vincent Gaines on, but it hadn't gotten any further when we were called to help Bianca. Now that the females had pulled the stunt they did, he may not stick around long enough for me to offer him the position. We had eight holding cells, each one made with reinforced silver. They stayed empty most of the time with the exception of a drunk or two needing to sleep off their drink. I parked in the space designated for me and made my way inside. * Alpha. * Bernice ran the front desk and she greeted me with a smile. * Good morning, Bernice. * She stood up. * You look tired, sir. * She handed me the file on Mia. This was a small town, she knew why I was here. I flipped through the contents. * Its been a long two weeks. * I told her as I made sure everything was in order. * Who's running the morning shift? * I asked, closing the file. * Stretch and Monty. * They were relatively new trainees, but Slade and Cole had trained them well. * Thank you. * I nodded as I slipped past her. Stretch was working the radio system we had in place and I nodded to him as I made my way towards the basement and the holding cells. Monty guarded the door leading down. * Good morning, Alpha. * He opened the door for me. * Thank you, Monty. * He nodded in return. * Good luck with that one, Sir. * I headed down the stairs, the air growing colder. I stepped down the corridor and she was in the first cell to the left. I typed in the code and a small section of the silver bars opened, allowing me to step inside her cell. She sat up when they slammed closed. She smelled like day old booze and her make up was smeared. She stood up and made her way over to me. * Alpha Beck. * Her voice was anything but respectful. * I'd hoped you would come and see me so we could sort this misunderstanding out. * She stepped close enough to run her fingers up the arms of my jacket. She shivered. * Such big muscles. * Her eyes met mine. * Maybe we can work out a deal, hm? * Her fingertips grazed my neck and jaw and for the first time in my life, I wanted to throttle a female. I shoved the file folder between us. * For starters, seducing me will do nothing but get you killed. My mate would have your head. Secondly, we'd both suffer the mating rash. And last, I would rather be dragged behind a truck, over broken glass then continue to be this close to you. * Rage darkened her eyes. * You're a son of a bitch! * Her hand flew up to slap me and I caught her wrist. * I can be. Why don't we find out just how big of a one? * She jerked away from me. * I don't understand why you're so mad at me. Why I'm to blame. I didn't do anything wrong! * She sat on the bed in a huff. * So, you didn't steal drugs from Dr. Tukami? * She was silent. * And you didn't meet Jules and my mate to give them the drugs you didn't steal? * Her eyes snapped fire as they met mine. * Or, you did do all those things, but dont want to admit it. I find it difficult to believe that you did this for the females out of the kindness of your own heart. * I opened the file that I had. * You attempted to seduce the doctor, your boss and was fired for it. I see you lived here during O'Donnells reign of terror. Your mother left with some rogue shifter. You stayed behind with your father. * She moved from the bed. * I know my life's story. I dont need you narrating it. * She tried to snatch the folder from me. I didn't allow it. * And I dont need someone of your calibre in my pack. * That got her attention. * What do you mean? * I shrugged. * Exactly what I just said. I'm banishing you, Mia. * Tears filled her eyes. * Beck...I mean, Alpha, sir....please. * I steeled myself against her pleas. * I don't trust you. In fact, you attempted to seduce me, which means you will stop at nothing to get what you want. I have yet to determine what exactly that is. But its detrimental to my pack. And I will not allow it. * She was sobbing now. * I just wanted Julian. I just wanted him to love me! * I shook my head. * He doesn't feel the same, Mia. The last female like you caused a lot of hurt as well and she almost killed members of my pack. I cannot stand by and let this happen. I will not. You broke trust. And you crossed the line thinking you could seduce me. * She hit her knees. * Alpha, please! Give me another chance! I will stay away from Julian! I'll do anything, ANYTHING to make this right. Just please, don't banish me!! * I shook my head as I gave the signal to be let out. * You'll be escorted out tomorrow morning. You will have exactly two hours to pack and clear out your things. * She was still sobbing. * Where will I go? * I stepped out of the cell. * I don't know, Mia, nor do I care. But you won't be here. And I shouldn't have to tell you that if you attempt to come back to McGregor land, you'll be killed on the spot. * I slammed the bars closed. * I hope that you take this chance and become a better person. Perhaps find a pack that will accept you. * She hit the bars, screaming. * I don't need you or your fucking pack! I didn't act alone! And everyone knows that the only reason you won't banish the others is because of who they mated and your mate is one! * I growled. * You know nothing of what I will do. Don't push me, Mia. It's too easy for me to have you executed. And it'd be supported. * I left her screaming behind me as I made my way back upstairs. I was due to meet with Jules, Meghan and Chloe in an hour. I wanted to be done with this whole thing so I could move on. I had bigger issues to deal with and this was just pissing me off. I left Mias file for Cole to finish up and then headed to my office for round two. *

* I finished checking in at the front desk then sat down next to Caiden Bauer​. I was nervous. I worried about what they would find today. I worried that Gabriel Jericho​ was going after Quinn Cooper​. I just wanted to be tucked inside of Ama Maes bed and breakfast with Caiden. My leg bounced as anxiety pumped through my veins.
