#7 Raksaya

After 1 week's time.

"I have decided on what to do." Raksaya approached me while I was practicing with a one-handed sword.

"What do you mean, Raksaya?" I asked with a slightly confused expression but deep inside I was hoping that she was talking about the subject of our last talk.

"I will help you with your request, under one condition." She said with a smile.

"...What kind of condition?" I had no time to feel "happy" that she actually agreed to my selfish request because her smile gave me chills.

"Before I tell you the condition...What does your mother seek the most? What's her dream?" She asked me with a curious expression and I got slightly puzzled.

Why is she interested in this? ...Well, it's pretty much obvious why but...should I tell her the truth? But judging from her eyes, I won't have any opportunity to lie plus I want to get it over with before I will change my mind.

"She is expecting a grandchild" I said with a straight face.

"?...hahaha" Raksaya got surprised for a moment before starting to laugh while holding her stomach.

No one was bothered by this sight except for a few new members who didn't know that our leader is an easy-going person.

"Sorry, fuuu...And? What's the progress? Haha" She calmed down and wiped away her tears before starting to laugh once again, this time more controlled.

"0 percent. This is the hardest mission I have ever received in my whole life." I said with my usual poker face.

"Pfff, please don't say that with such a face or you will make me cry while laughing...I understand, stop your training for now so we can get going." She said with a smile.

"Hm? Where?" I asked with a confused expression.

"To your home of course!" She said and bumped her fist into my shoulder.

...That hurt, but that's not important. Why would she want to go right now? ...Whatever, I will do it since I think that I more or less mastered the art of the sword already.

"Alright, I will just change my clothes and we can get going." I said and started walking towards the changing room and Raksaya followed right behind me.

"...Ehm, I would like to get changed" I said when I noticed that she also followed me into my changing cabin.

"You are an assassin...Do not tell me that you will get embarrassed by undressing in front of me. I think that we already know each other long enough to ignore such things." She said while leaning against the wall and looking at my lower part of the body with a smug.

"But there is nothing under those training clothes..." I protested with a helpless expression.

"I am well aware of that, you don't need to get embarrassed. I have already seen your rod during Arno's prank with aphrodisiac." She said with a teasing smile.

But that was through the clothes! Or is she hinting on something?

"Oh? Perhaps you have someone you like here so you don't want me to see you, is that it?" She asked me and kept pressing me for more information.

"*sigh* Nope, I just think that it's weird to be watched by someone while undressing." I explained and started to take off my upper clothes.

"If you feel that weird, I can also start undressing so it can be fair" She said with a smile and started to take off her black leather boots.

"No need! I am already undressing as you can see so you don't need to do it." I quickly answered.

Why the hell she keeps teasing me? It's like this for a few months but this time she is being exceptionally aggressive.

One of the reasons that come into my mind is that she likes me but why would she, the leader, be fond of someone boring like me? It could also be a test and she is just trying to seduce me.

"Well, too bad because I also need to change my clothes and since I am already here..." She said and continued undressing.

...Whatever I no longer care.

I was slightly irritated by all her teasing so I turned my body her way and kept undressing while watching her.

When both of us were naked, I quickly got an erection after seeing her flawless body and even though there were a few scars, they actually made her even more beautiful and wild looking.

However, even though I had an erection, I still kept my poker face while looking at her and her eyes were flickering down and up at usual intervals.

We kept on staring at each other for more than 5 minutes and none of us wanted to be the first to dress up. I guess both of us took it as a competition.

After another 5 minutes, she started licking her lips while looking at my erected rod.

Fuck this! I thought and quickly started dressing up while hatefully glaring at her. This was the first time I had dared to glare at her with such an expression, however, she wasn't offended and instead, she winked at me with a smirk.

This woman will be my death!

...

We finally arrived at my home and when I unlocked the door and walked in, I already heard my mother's footsteps nearing us to greet me like always.

From the corner of my eye, I could see Raksaya smile evilly which gave me chills for a moment.

She actually wrapped her arms around my arm and put it between her large rack.

"?! What are you-" I tried to quickly retract my arm, however, her grip was too strong and when I saw her smiling at me with closed eyes I stopped fidgeting while having sweat pouring down my back.

"Honey, you are earlier tod-ay? Eh? Oh..." My mother came smiling and when she saw me together with Raksaya clinging to my arm, she immediately released a knowing smile.

"Who are you, sweetie?" She completely disregarded my presence and asked Raksaya with a bright happy smile.

"Good afternoon, future mother-in-law. My name is Raksaya!" Raksaya happily exclaimed.

I couldn't help but look at her with wide-open eyes and surprised expression.

"...Hahaha, finally! Welcome to our humble home, please call me Jane!" My mother's eyes immediately started to shine.

*sigh* I guess there is no saving it any longer and as long as my mother is happy...I don't care. She most likely won't even remember this later.

I thought and started to feel slightly grateful for what Raksaya did.

"Dear, didn't you want to go take a shower?" Raksaya asked me with a smile but it felt more like she was ordering me.

To be honest, I really need a shower after that practice but...I don't want to leave them alone. I hope nothing bad happens.

"Honey, you can take your time" Even my own mother was trying to get rid of me!

"Fine, I am going, mom, please look after her" I said in an "affectionate" way with a forced smile while my eyes kept twitching.

...

---Inside the kitchen---

"How long are you guys together?" Jane asked while gently holding Raksaya's hands.

"Ehm, I think it's about...2 years!" Raksaya was slightly surprised by her question but she quickly answered with a smile.

"2 years?! I knew it! That boy was keeping it secret all along!" Jane exclaimed with a slightly angered expression.

'Oops...' Raksaya could only apologetically look towards the door leading to the bathroom.

"I will ask him later about this. How did you two meet?" Jane muttered and then asked Raksaya another tricky question.

"Umm, there is something I would like to tell you, mother-in-law. Something really important." Raksaya said with an uncertain expression.

"?! What? Are you perhaps already pregnant?" Jane immediately asked with a stars in her eyes.

"Wha-? No, no...It's something else..."

'This is going to be a gamble...I don't know Jane's personality but if everything fails...I can still do what Akashi requested as the last resort' Raksaya resolved herself.

"It's like this..." Raksaya started to explain things and after a while, Jane started to cry.

After 5 minutes passed by.

"Are you alright?" Raksaya asked with a concerned expression while firmly holding Jane's hands.

"I had no idea that he wants me to be happy so much that he would go as far as to sacrifice his own happiness." Jane said with a sad, yet happy tone while doing her best to wipe away her tears.

'?! That's the first thing she thinks of after I have told her all of that? I mean...I didn't exactly tell her that her son is killing people for money but still...She must have understood from my words that Akashi is having a very dangerous job, for both sides. I also explained how talented he is and that he chose this job on his own volition. She doesn't even care about safety of other people...' Raksaya thought while carefully observing Jane.

'...I understand now, in her world, there is only Akashi. She can't care any less about the lives of other people if they endanger Akashi's life. Now I also understand why Akashi is such a mama's boy, having such a parent, anyone would be like him. Maybe this is also the reason why he never showed any interest in any of the female members in the organization. He probably thinks that as long as his mother is happy, he will be too, he feels indebted to her.' Raksaya couldn't help but release a genuine smile.

'As long as he will have his mother around, he will never lose his sanity from killing too many people. But that for some reason makes me slightly jealous...' Raksaya thought while pouting her lips.

"Anyway...did my presence interrupted you somehow? If you want...you know...I can go shopping for a few hours." After calming down, Jane said with a teasing smile.

"Ah...I- no, I don't think you have interrupted anything. We just wanted to...have a lunch here." Facing against Jane's special smile, made even someone like Raksaya blush a bit.

The girls kept talking about all kinds of things. Jane didn't even care that Raksaya was "slightly" older than Akashi. Although Jane somehow accepted Akashi's job, there was still needed a lot of Raksaya's persuasion.

When I walked out of the bathroom, I saw Raksaya and my mother talking together, smiling and laughing from time to time.

...What had happened?

I felt slightly uneasy.

"You are finally out! Don't you ever do that again!" When my mother saw me, she stood up and approached me with her hand raised, ready to slap me which slightly surprised me but I didn't move to dodge.

However, instead of slapping me, she grabbed the collar of my shirt and started to cry while moving my body back and forth.

I couldn't help but stare at her in confusion but when I saw her cry, my eyes became cold and I couldn't help but direct my stare at Raksaya.

---

'Whoa, those eyes...Even I get slight chills from them. I better respond to him quickly' Raksaya thought and just shook her head with an innocent expression.

---

"Why didn't you tell me about your job?! Don't you trust me?! And why would you want me to forget about you and your father?!" My mother buried her head into my chest and started to shout at me while crying.

...Raksaya must have told her...I should have known. But it doesn't look like she minds it...she is angrier at me for not telling her.

...This will be a very long afternoon.

I couldn't help but think with a helpless expression while patting my mother's back.
