Heiress

Chapter 1: PHILIPPINES?!

—

“Akane calm down! You're ruining the place for pete sake! ”

Most of mirrors are broken, those furniture belongs to this house are broken too. A lot of plates are broken, geez. I should've told them first that Akane really hate here. All I can see is, how Kenta and Takashi panicking. Iwas at salag ang ginagawa nila sa bawat pag hagis ni Akane ng mga gamit mula rin rito sa loob ng bahay.

“s**t! That was close. Akane please calm down first can you? ”

She stared at Takashi for a second.

“Why.. do I look not? ”

Then she finally sit and just look at the window. Calm eh. She almost ruin this house after knowing where she is exactly. Kadarating lang namin ng Pilipinas, at kung bakit ganoon ang reaksyon ni Akane? well, hindi namin magawang pilitin s'ya ba sumama, kaya naisip ko na lang na turukan s'ya ng pampatulog. At nang magising s'ya, heto agad ang ginawa n'ya.

Kinuha ko ang silya at naupo rito. “So much mess. Akane, I brought this house for you but you almost ruined it. Do you even care about my feelings. eh? ” I act as if I'm hurt. But knowing her, she'll not fall for that.

“Nande? Come on Kuya, come here let me punch your f*****g face right here.” (translation: what) now I can say that she's really pissed. Nakakunot ang noo n'ya, nakatingin ng masama sa'kin.

Kenta chuckled, “Imouto you're too harsh. He really brought it and choose the best house, and kuya Katsuro make sure that you are going to be comfortable while staying here in Philippines. ” (translation: Little sister) he sincerely states those words.

With that, I saw how her face calm and express a guilty expression. How cute, I just smiled.

Lumapit si Takashi.

“Katsuro, I'm out now. May kailangan pa akong puntahan maybe I'll visit next time.” Nagpaalam na si Takashi. He is my friend. I nodded and he get going. Maybe he's going back to Japan,

“Kuya Katsuro! You still fooled me, Argh! I hate you so damn much. ” I chuckled. This is her usual mood, I'm used to it. Everytime I did something wrong for her, she always cursed me.

“Oh well, you hate me that much... that you almost ruined the house I brought for you? ” I repeat again.

“Eh! Hindi ko naman a-alam. Tss. ” malakas ngunit pahinang sabi n'ya. Dahil don, humalakhak ng tawa si Kenta. While Akane is still frowning, she really felt guilty.

“Never mind. That's fine, so as what I said earlier, you are staying here for a mission that oto~san gave you.” (translation: father) she just stare.

“You also have your motor, weapons... you have the access for whole house even the secret passages and I also brought you a new porsche that you can use for everyday. Kenta and I will accompany you but we are not allowed to cross to your mission. ” I said.

She stare at me giving me disappointed look. Even if she hate me doing this to her, I can't stop. Besides it's normal for us to do missions. Akane is the only one who hate it.

Tumayo sya at lumabas sa veranda. In her position she can clearly see the sea and buildings. This place is far from the city, and only I, Kenta, and Takashi knows. Rinig ko ang paghugot nya ng malalim na hininga kasabay ng pagtatama ng mga mata namin ni Kenta.

“Is that so. Then I'm going back to Japan. To kick that old man's ass. How dare he! ” nagwala na naman sya at nang-gulo. Yes she hate our father, for a lot of reasons.

“Akane. The one you're pointing are still our father!” Kenta exclaimed.

Sinalubong ko ang tingin ni Kenta. I keep staring him and gesture to stop and go outside. Hindi s'ya makakatulong kung magpapadala s'ya sa init ng ulo. We all know what Akane is capable in her state.

“Really? Father my ass. A father would never ever put his daughter's life in danger. That's a real father! ” nangingibabaw ang inis sa boses n'ya. And she's angry.. this is bad.

Everytime she's in that situation where her anger controls her whole personality. There's always unpredictable situation that may happend. At ayokong mangyari, na mangyari na naman ang ganoong pangyayari, enough na ang ginawa n'ya noon sa Japan. She murdered those people who's behind our mom's death. Halos lahat ay hindi nakalimutan 'yon, some of them called it as m******e.

Lumapit ako, tinitigan ko s'ya ng seryoso.

“So do you really hate oto~san that much Akane? Then you hate me too, because I always agreed to whatever he say. ”

she stared at me in curiosity.

“No. I do hate oto~san. But he is way more different from you Kuya... he doesn't care about me at all he just care about his business.. the clan. Tsk. ” seryoso pero mahinanakit na paliwanag n'ya. Hindi ko s'ya masisi kung ganon ang tingin n'ya kay oto~san.

“But you, I hate you because you can't say no to him.” he added.

At ang lahat ng sinabi n'ya ay totoo. Halos naka focus lang s'ya sa business all around the world, our family owned a lot of businesses that made us the largest and richest family in the marketing world. Also in the underworld, at the black market too. But we are also a part of a clan which is Shiragami Clan. it's headed by our father at bnubuo ng sampung elders who's our alliance clans. And also, under Shiragami Clan there are a lot of assasins, gangsters and mafias working on us.

Isang buntong hininga ang nagawa ko, habang seryoso'ng nakatingin sa kanya.

“I know. Naalala mo ba kung anong ibinilin sa akin ni mama. She said to obey our father so that's why I'm doing it..” nilingon n'ya ako at pinakatitigan, alam ko'ng alam n'ya ang sinasabi ko.

“But you know.. I can't risk your life by doing what ever he said. So I made a deal with oto~san. ” bakas ang lungkot sa boses ko pero pinilit kong itago yon. Our mother died when she was five and she really reminisce me of our mother. I managed to smile and keep her comfortable for what I said.

“What Deal? ” nakatingin sya sa akin ng matalim. She's curious.

“Just a small deal. ” tugon ko. It is just a small deal, na kapag life and death situation na ang kinakaharap ni Akane, ako ang magpapasya ng gagawin. Hindi s'ya ang magdesisyon kundi ako.

“By the way, you're going to a University while doing the mission you can still continue your study here. Don't worry, I already talked to the Head Master about your requirements and for fake identity. ” pag-iiba ko ng usapan.

“Disguise again? Psh. Ano pa nga ba. ” walang sambit n'ya. I handed her the folder. Binuksan nya ang folder, binasa ang nasa loob. Nangungunot ang noo nya habang nagbabasa nito.

lumakad ako pabalik sa loob,

“Packed your things and move to Yoshio's condo. Ipapaayos ko na rin itong bahay. ” I said.

agad nya'ng naibaba ang folder na binabasa n'ya, masamang tingin ang ibinigay n'ya sa'kin. I knew it, sinasabi ko na nga ba't magugulat s'ya.

“What the fuck.. are you even serious Kuya, that.. that crazy guy. ”

“What's wrong with that? Yoshio manage to accommodate you in his condo when you need help, so I guess you are. So go at his place okay? ” masamang tingin ang ginanti nya sa akin. Hindi na nagbago, para n'ya parin akong pinapatay sa tingin.

Anyways Yoshio, that guy is our cousin, but he likes my sister or should I say he's in love with her. Insane right, but still, kampante naman akong walang gagawing kalokohan ang lalaking yon sa kapatid ko. Just he make sure or I'll surely end his worthless life.

“Kuya Katsuro?! ” inis na sigaw nya. Nginitian ko sya ng malawak, inilapag ko ang susi ng motor at kotse nya sa table. Then, leave her there. She's so pissed.

AKANE'S POV

“Argh! What a life, indeed. ” nausal ko na lang dahil sa inis.

Pabagsak akong nahiga sa kama at tumitig sa kisame. Lahat na lang di ayon sa gusto ko. First, doing this bullshit mission, coming back here then living with that crazy Yoshio. At, naiisip ko palang na titira ako sa puder ng baliw na yon parang gusto ko na lang ulit bumalik sa Japan. He admit that he likes me, no it's love. Ew, for his information we're cousins.

But I know I can't do anything, I should obey what oto~san said. Ano pa nga bang bago. Argh, walang kabuhay buhay na bumangon ako sa kama at nag-impake ng importanteng gamit. Matapos non, bumaba na ako. May naghihintay na tauhan ni Kuya Katsuro sa akin ng makababa ako. He took my things and carry those. Habang, sumakay na ako sa sasakyan at hinayaang ihatid sa condo ni Yoshio.

A minutes passed, nakarating kami sa isang building. Not bad, sumakay ako ng elevator going 3rd floor, isang malawak na hallway ang sumalubong sa akin. Guess this whole third floor of the building belongs to him. How did I know? Because there is nothing here except from one door.

Bumukas ang pinto at tumambad ang maingay na tunog. Kitang kita kung gaano kagulo sa loob ng condo nya, may mga babae at lalaking naghahalikan may nag iinuman at kung ano ano pa. The fvck? Patitirahin ako ni Kuya Katsuro rito? As in here?

“Akane my life! Bakit hindi ka nagsabi na ngayon ka na pala lilipat hehe. ” there he is walking towards me. What the f**k he is actually?

“Kuya Katsuro told me, don't think that I heartily agreed with it. ” I replied. Pumasok na lang ako sa loob ng condo nya. Psh, what a mess.

Those people doesn't give a care and they still continue what they're doing.

“And who are these people? ” tanong ko while creasing forehead.

“Don't mind them they are my visitors. Halika, I'll guide your way to your room. ” nakangiting sabi nya sa akin. Iginiya nya ako sa isang sulok. Niloloko nya ba ako, pader to.

May pinindot syang isang button, ang pader sa harap namin ay nahati at nagbukas. Then I see another room. What the heck. Pumasok kami, inilapag ko ang gamit ko ang naupo sa sofa. This room seems comfy hindi tulad kanina tahimik rito at walang maririnig na kahit anong ingay mula sa kabila.

“Do you like it? ” tumango ako. Yes it's quite comfy and I like it. “Well, as what I've expected. ” mayabang nyang sabi. As usual!

“I heard you owned a business here. ” I said. Well I heard it to someone. Napansin ko'ng bumagay sa kanya ang kulay ng buhok n'ya ngayon. It's an ash gray, his well defined jaw also his pointed nose looks good, not forgetting his beautiful gray eyes. He's good looking, sa hitshura n'ya na 'yan marami syang mahahanap na babae.

“Ah yes. It's quite tiring doing business meetings and such. ” tumango ako sa sinabi nya. “So how's life there. Kamusta ka, are you even enjoying your time there? ” he's smiling at me.

“Enjoying. From what? slicing their neck, breaking their arms, bones. Psh, you know that, that thing never existed there. ” seryosong sabi ko. He just smiled bitterly at me and then sit beside me. Nagtaka ako ng tignan nya ako sa mata ng seryoso. Bipolar?

“Woah. That's quite cool tho' but..” he said. I wait him to utter a word and just stare at his ugly face.

“Let me help you enjoy your stay here. Just trust me and I won't do such a jerky things. ” he plaufully said. psh. Jerky things

“Trust you eh? it's like saying me to let my guard down. No I'm not a fool to let that happen. Besides, hindi ka katiwatiwala. ” walang ganang sagot ko.

Umasta pa syang nasaktan sa sinabi ko. Nag pout pa sya. Damn this duck. But he's kinda cute tho, just a bit!

“You're too harsh.. but that's what I like about you. You are such a great lady. ” I rolled my eyes. Crazy cousin! . “Pero, seryoso sa sinabi ko. It's for you, I want you to feel and realize that you can still be free, far from your life right now. Will you trust me? ” by that one I stared at him and seriously think.

Is that really possible. Can I really escape from them? Napailing ako. I don't want to, It's a responsibility I should stand.
