CHAPTER 19: Dark Claws Tattoo

"Each betrayal begins with trust."

- Martin Luther

When I woke up, a white ceiling greeted me. I blink my eyes, to clear my blurred view of the surroundings. I then look side by side to see where I am, which made me wrinkle my forehead.

I mean who wouldn't get freaking annoyed with the vibes of the room I am in, right now? The whole room screams the word 'HONEYMOON' for Pete's sake! Which is not very suited to my freaking age. Just what the freaking hell Ms. Kazumi and the others are thinking?

There is this plain red blanket laying on the bed I am sleeping. The rooms are cold and air-conditioned. The whole place is in a combination of red and white.

It is a huge room, with red curtains hanging on a modernized sliding window, with gold rose sequence design on each side.

Rose petals are scattered around the white flooring, the ceiling has red linings. And a lot of scent candles were lit in every corner of this huge room where I am asleep just awhile ago.

When I tried to sit I realized that there is dextrose stuck on the back of my palm. I immediately took it off, from my hand before getting off the bed. I roamed around the room until it brings me to the comfort room, where I found a jacuzzi with petals floating above its water.

"What nonsense is this?" I murmured, asking myself, while dipping my hand on the cold water of the jacuzzi.

Later, the three wearing white long sleeves entered with their polo's buttons were open exposing their chest to their stomach while wearing white pants as its partner. They are also fully dressed as if they are going to have a honeymoon. I can also smell in my place the fragrant smell of them that looks like they took their first bath in ages.

"Hey, Rin! You shouldn't stand up! You are not recovered yet!" Sean exclaimed after seeing me in the Comfort Room, looking at them with wide eyes. He took a fast step, to reach my place, and help me out.

I swallowed my saliva hard upon seeing them and immediately felt the warmth on my cheek.

Why are they so handsome in the way they look today? Especially Sean! Oh good, Lord! I am fuck up!

I immediately turned my back on them, and absent-mindedly get a hold of my chest.

What the freaking hell is happening to me?

"Did you guys took a bath? And what are you fucking wearing for Pete's sake? You guys look like you'll be on a honeymoon, any moment!" I complain while stumping my foot in annoyance, before going back on the bed sitting on its edge.

If only you guys knew, what you're giving me, right now!

Oh shit!

My mind was too polluted in every earthly ideas. And now I am stuck! Damn it!

I face-palmed, as I felt the soft cloth of the beds cover touches my hand, and that's when a thought come up on my little head…

W-wait...

B-bed?

The three of them were just approaching me when I got up again and sat on the sofa ...

The three of them were about to approach me again when my naughty brain has given me more earthly ideas about the sofa again for some reason. So I just decided to stand up. There was a look of surprise on their faces, while Josh sniffed his forehead furrowed, and frowned again. This irascible jerk! TSS.

But the way I think is more annoying!

The hell!

IM FREAKING 12 FOR PETE SAKE! What have I been thinking!

All of this is those three's idiots' fault! They keep polluting my mind from every story! Everything is because of what they always tell me when they come with bread!

There you go! Even my brain is polluted!

"Are we fucking playing the freaking chasing game here Rin? Trust me, it's fucking annoying! Stop it." Irritatedly said by Josh, which I answered with rolling eyes and death glairs.

Oh great! Even Josh the ill-tempered jerk is looking so great in his top.

But still!

Sean's look is the best. He freaking looks like a sweet blue-eyed hunk angel, on his top! While I am just a sinful mortal, getting ready to be taken by him.

DAMN! I'm having wild thoughts now!

Who would have thought of taking me to this venue, and offering me these three sweets???

FUCKING SHIT! I'm ABOUT TO EXPLODE ANY MOMENT FROM NOW!

Later, Ms. Kaz arrived, smiling. Together with a few staff behind her with Iris.

"How do you like my present for you Rin-Rin san?" She asked smirking.

I annoyingly threw her a pillow in irritation after knowing she's the one responsible for all these shits. Which she was able to dodge easily.

"Oooooooohh!!! Easy girl!" She annoyingly said, while smirking.

I look at her with daggers because of this.

If she aims to annoy me, then she's achieving it, because I am completely annoyed with her big time.

"What present are you talking about? Putting me inside this fucking honeymooners vibe room? Or putting these three idiots on my plate, ready to be fucking eaten by me? So which one? "I asked her angrily as Iris and the bitch both answered with a loud laugh! That made me even more annoyed! These two bitches! ARGH!

"Both!" they said in chorus before laughing again hard.

I saw the three standing on the side, while their faces were red! I thought these three idiots are already used to this shits? So why do they seem shy? TSS.

"Are you guys stupid? IM FREAKING 12 FOR PETE SAKE !!!!! Respect my age! You idiots!"

Annoyed, I threw the pillow again which hit their faces this time, my remark caught the two off guard. The pillow fell off Iris, and Ms. Kaz, faces as they stare at me, with wide eyes.

"YOUR FUCKING WHAT?" Ms. Kaz and Iris asked at the same time while looking at me in shock.

Just what the freaking hell is their freaking problem with my fucking age for Pete's sake? I may be tall for my age, but I do fucking know I look like 12.

"I'M JUST FUCKING 12!" I repeatedly said, in annoyance.

The two of them look at the three idiots with wide eyes and confusion. The three were looking at their shoes, shy while blushing red. The hell!

"Why didn't you tell us?" Ms. Kaz asked the three of them, to which they replied while their faces were red.

"Well... You didn't ask." Kurt answered shy.

"And we thought if she ever asks to take us out we'll gladly obliged to give her our whole since she's already a Low Rank," added Sean, while blushing red.

Fuck! My heart drums inside my chest as if anytime she would jump out from my chest.

"We thought, that's the only thing we can offer for her, in exchange for saving our lives, always. That she even had to face death, every time she does so..." Josh added.

They are like abnormals in my eyes, and yet I find them adorable! Too cute for me to resist! They all look like cute puppies. I smiled at them while having this flashy red face on me.

"You know…

You don't have to do that...

You being with me always, and all of those sacrifices you have done to make me stay alive is already enough…

Thank you, guys! And I love you so damn much! You guys are always worth dying for!

And I will never regret doing all the shits over and over again if it means you'll be alive." I told them sincerely.

I was so surprised when they suddenly started crying in front of me, then almost ran to hug me tightly.

"Y-YOU SCARED THE H-HELL OUT OF THE T-THREE OF US!" Kurt complains, stuttering in between his sob, looking like a cute kitty while hugging me.

"I thought I'll lose you, on the arena, when you collapse on Josh's arms!" Sean cried, looking so relieved I am alive.

I never heard anything from Josh but he too is crying hard, while hugging me tightly. I wanted to tell them, their hugs were too tight I can no longer breathe properly. But I couldn't spoil the moment by telling them those. I too was so scared I'd die on that monster's hands when I felt dizzy.

They cried, even more, when I rubbed their backs with my hand and patted them like children in their mother's arms.

At first, I was still holding myself back from crying, but when I remembered, how scared I was when I was in the arena and the thought of dying, I could not get a hold of myself and start crying with them loudly.

Later on, some staff also approached me.

I was told, that they are here to put the tattoo mark which symbolizes that I am an official Assassin under the Dark Claws and to be an official Low Rank. They asked me which part of my body I wanted to get a tattooed on, which I answered on the left side of my abdomen, under the navel.

When the tattoo was over, I became an official member of the Dark Claws, which had its property, all located in the room where I am right now.
