10 Women are Dangerous!

"Did you hear? The Young Master brought home a girl today."

"Supposedly she was hired on as a bodyguard."

"Bodyguard? What nonsense! It's obvious she's just some little bitch who's trying to warm up to the Young Master!"

"Yeah! It was already too much with that she-devil whore beside him, but now there is another one!"

"We must take action immediately! The Young Master is far too young to know of the darkness of women!"

"Yes, yes! It is obvious that girl is up to something bad! Let's go now to ensure that he won't get betrayed later on!"

"It could happen anytime! Who knows when-"

"Silence."

"..."

Right now deep underground, in a large cave shaped room lit by torches, stood a large group gathered to discuss Keane's new servant, Nero. They were arguing over how to deal with Nero who seemed to approach Keane, with intentions -from their perspective- to corrupt him. The person presiding over the discussion is, Sakura Akagi, the wife of the head of the Akagi clan, creator and leader of the Keane's fan club, as well as his mother. As Keane got older, Sakura began to see him shaping into a handsome young man. To ensure that none of the employees attempt to seduce the innocent Keane (at least thats how Sakura viewed him), she formed the club to keep everyone in order. While she initially formed it to protect her son from the women on the estate, it appears now that the women she wanted to control are now doing the 'protecting'.

"Carole, show me what we have on the girl." Sakura, after silencing the group, requested her personal maid, Carole, to show her Nero's profile. Carole was in her late 20's and has been serving Sakura for closer to two decades. She was your average looking Japanese girl and was also there on the day of Keane's birth.

"Here you go Mistress." Handing her the file, Carole then stood behind her Master.

Flipping through the document Sakura said, "So her name is Nero, height 4'9, blonde hair, green eyes, and an ample bust when compared to her height. Dear me, I do wonder if my son has a thing for blondes as he also continues to have 'that woman' follow him around everyday.... Um she is 18? Is this confirmed?"

"According to one of the guards, the Young Master said she was 18." Carole confirmed the statement.

Sakura then nodded, "I see, well my child wouldn't lie, after all I raised him to be a good boy."

"That you did mistress."

"So did the guards say anything else about her?"

Carole was then silent for a few seconds, "The guards didn't say anything else, or rather I don't think they wanted to."

"Oh.... I wonder what happened..." Keane did pick Nero after all, so Sakura wondered if she had some talent. She then said, "Well, it doesn't matter in the end. I refuse to make the same mistake I did in the past!" Sakura was remembering 'that woman', who was able to get close to her son. "Let's continue with the 'test'. If for some reason the blondie dies, then it was simply an 'accident'." Sakura then showed a dark smile.

Carole and the rest of the club members also showed a similar dark smile at her words and gave a bow, "Yes Mistress! It will be done!"

The club members then began their plan, even though it was simple, it was plenty efficient as a 'test'. All they needed to do was drop some sleeping gas in Nero's room, then while she is knocked out, take her and drown her in the bay. Each room in the Akagi household was sound proof so no one outside the club should be alerted by their actions. As such, the task was simple and easy, nothing could go wrong.

That was what they thought as they crawled through the air ducts to Nero's room. There were currently a group of three, the one leading was Carole, while the other two were a couple of female members from the security team. It was already past midnight when they enacted their plan.

"It should be here, let me check." Carole whispered and then looked down at the room.

Currently in the room, Nero was happily writing on a sheet of paper, while nodding to herself with a smile on her face. Carole was curious as to what she was doing, but didn't care as she would be dead soon anyways.

One of the members then asked her while whispering, "Well? Is she there or not?"

"Yes she is, now get ready ladies." Carole responded back and were about to get their gas masks on. However, before they were able to get it from their bags, Nero suddenly looked up at the vent in her room. They became alarmed after thinking they were noticed.

Nero then suddenly called out to them, "Oh? Are you here to see my performance? Please come in! You will be the first audience to bear witness to my greatness in this world!"

She then ripped off the air vent and pulled the group out of ducts who seemed to be in shock due to her attitude. The reason why Nero didn't find them suspicious, was because she didn't have any knowledge of things like air ducts. This was due to not receiving any information about the world she was in prior to her summoning. As such, she thought the air ducts as some secret passage, similar to the ones in her palace.

By the time the trio came to their senses, they were already seated on the bed facing Nero who was standing in front of them. They were thinking of attacking her right now, but before they could even think Nero started to sing.

"LalALa LALalALAaalA LALaaalaLA LaAALlaLALLAlAaLA!" (a/n: let's just say her voice is awful)

After the first couple of lyrics, the trio was already rushing to the door to escape. The two women from the security team collapsed however, due to the strain of the song. When Carole was able to reach it, she was horrified by the fact the door was jammed.

By the time Nero finished the song which she was engrossed in, there were three women laying on the ground unconscious. Unfortunately for Carole, she was able to last until the later half of Nero's song, until she then also collapsed.

"UMU! If it's good enough to strike the attendees unconscious with its beauty, then it must be worthy for Praetor!" Nero said this with a large smile on her voice as she couldn't wait till tomorrow.

She then looked at the three on the ground, "Now what to do with you three..." Deciding to return them to their rooms, she picked them up and went to the common area for the estate's employees. As it was past midnight, there was no one currently there. Nero sat them down on a couch and looked for their ID's they had on them. After getting their names, she looked at the list of rooms and the people who stayed there. When Nero confirmed their living quarters, she carried them to their rooms, where each respective roommate (who are also apart of the club) received them dumbfounded.

Satisfied with her perfect work, she returned to her room to sleep while thinking of the praise she will receive the next day for her performance.

The next morning Carole was the first to wake up among the three and went straight to her Master to report her findings. She was able to find Sakura in estate's library and got ready to give her report about Nero. However, by the time she gave it nothing came to mind.

"Are you saying you forgot what happened yesterday?" Sakura asked in a stern tone, different from her cheerful personality with Keane.

"Yes, Mistress" Carole was slightly scared when responding.

"Well what do you last remember?"

"If I recall correctly, I was crawling through the air ducts with the other two, then by the time we got to the room, she noticed us and the rest is blank." With that the maid finished saying everything she remembered. It appeared that Nero's singing was traumatic enough to force itself out of the the listener's memories.

Sakura was a little shocked at her maid's experience. She was slightly concerned about the power that Nero possessed, as it was cable of making her head maid lose her own memories. In response to the current situation, Sakura told her maid, "I suppose I will have Keane introduce me to her. After that I will let the club know my decision."

"As you wish Mistress"
