40: Discovered

Four days had passed since Cloud and Yuriko had had their little sinful encounter in the purple-haired woman's office, time in which the two had been spending a lot of time together with the excuse of planning their new moves.

Saya was a bit confused and annoyed at this, though she simply decided to ignore it.

Shizuka, Miku and Kyoko, seemed to sense that there was something off about them, though simply brushing it aside, Saeko being the only one who was simply unconcerned, after all, she didn't care if Cloud and Yuriko ended up being a thing, her only desire was to continue by the blond's side and continue enjoying the life full of blood and destruction.

"I think we'd better distance ourselves a bit, my group is asking a lot of questions" - Cloud said as he let out a sigh. He was currently hugging the woman from the waist completely naked.

Yuriko was as she had come into the world as she nodded because she was also starting to notice the strange looks from her group - "That's right, though honestly this forbidden relationship is hard to contain."

Four days in which Cloud had shown her a whole new world of pleasure for all they had done, to the point that she had also lost her anal virginity.

Yuriko was not a woman to back down after making a decision, and seeing that there was no longer any reason to hold back, she decided to try to open her heart while enjoying the pleasure the blond was trying to give her.

Cloud had learned many things about how to please a woman thanks to the teachings of the girls of the Strife group.

[Yuriko Takagi: Affinity 90]

He didn't like to gauge the level of affection with other people, but he had to admit that this was a good function.

"Is something wrong?" - Yuriko asked as she cocked her head to the side.

"No, it's nothing, though we'd better get dressed" - Cloud said as he shook his head.

"You have a point" - nodded Yuriko as she walked towards her clothes, only to pale when she heard how someone was knocking on her door - "W-who is it?"

"It's me, Yuriko-san" - Saeko answered from the doorway.

Yuriko gave a glance to Cloud, who quickly grabbed his clothes and walked towards the balcony, only to freeze as he watched the door open, revealing Saeko, who was folding her arms - "I knew it"

"Saeko-san?!" - Yuriko exclaimed with a pale face.

Saeko quickly closed the door before entering the office, only to look at Yuriko normally - "You don't need to worry, I had already noticed your relationship."

"For you to do so, means that other people might have also come to this conclusion" - Cloud said as he frowned.

"Oh, you don't have to worry, I only figured it out because I was paying attention to all your interactions, but I'm sure others are still confused" - replied Saeko as she shrugged - "Honestly, I'm a little surprised, though not upset, I mean, a woman has needs, and Yuriko-san has to be going through a rough time and needs to release some tension."

Yuriko blushed at these words, though at the same time she was grateful that the person who had discovered them was an understanding one.

"Leaving that aside, for you to be in this kind of relationship, it means that it happened since long before" - Saeko said while narrowing her eyes - "Did Soichiro Takagi even know about this?"

Cloud remained silent, although to his surprise, it was Yuriko who answered while getting dressed - "Yes, he knew, he forgave us and approved our relationship, as for the motive, don't think anything weird, it's just that he had his... reasons for this..."

Saeko was silent as she came to a possible conclusion, though she didn't say it out loud out of respect for the woman in front of her - "I understand, and don't worry, I'm not going to tell anyone about this, I understand the situation, as well as the consequences, and I honestly don't think it's worth it."

"Thank you" - sighed Yuriko, now dressed and presentable.

Cloud was also dressed as he walked to the couch - "I guess we'll have to be more careful."

"Exactly, leaving that aside, Saya is looking for you, that's why I came to interrupt you" - replied Saeko calmly - "She said something about the preparations being ready."

"Oh, I see" - nodded Yuriko as she crossed her legs - "We'll go right away, I just have to clean up the office."

She had already regained her composure, so there was no need to act so embarrassed.

"Your mentality is just right for survival, I feel you'll be a good addition to the team" - Saeko nodded as she looked at the blonde, and nodded in his direction. She could see the power the woman had, and unlike the rest of the team, Yuriko didn't have that sense of morality that hindered many of her actions.

"Thanks for getting your approval" - Yuriko said as she shrugged - "That aside, I think I see the pattern in you, Cloud."

"?" - Cloud gave her a confused look, though he quickly snorted in disdain when he saw how Saya's mother pointed at her huge breasts and ass.

"Cloud's tastes aside, I think we'd better go to the others" - Saeko said as she retreated.

Yuriko remained silent, only to let out a small moan when she felt Cloud caress her delicious ass - "Really? Hmm ~!"

"Didn't you say I liked it?" - Cloud whispered to her as he grabbed the woman by the waist and hugged her against his body.

Yuriko smiled slightly because if she was honest, this situation brought back the memories of her first moments with Soichiro, and now that she thought about it more carefully, Cloud was a lot like her former husband, maybe this was the reason for her interest that was slowly turning into love. Both their identities, and their personalities, the two were very much the same, the only difference, was that Cloud was an animal in bed, while Soichiro was much more passive despite his cold exterior.

"What are you thinking?" - Cloud asked as he noticed the change in the woman's expression.

Yuriko gave him a glance before feeling the boy's silhouette blend in with her husband's again, only this time, Soichiro quickly disappeared - "No, it's nothing..."

Cloud raised an eyebrow as he saw how Yuriko's affinity meter, increased by 5 points.

"Where were you?" - Saya asked with a frown.

"Sorry, daughter, we were just finishing up with the final preparations for the mission" - Yuriko replied as she shook her head. She didn't seem much different from her usual present form, which made Saeko, who knew the truth, raise an eyebrow.

"She's a very good actor, though this would have to be expected from a former Secret Service member" - Saeko thought with more appreciation.

"I guess you heard that we are ready to start with the third phase of the operation" - said Saya as she folded her arms in annoyance, after all, she had seen how busy Cloud was during the last few days, that's why she had seen him rarely, a situation that the others shared, although at least they had the advantage of seeing him during the nights.

"Why did you turn red, Saya?" - Cloud asked in surprise as he noticed how the pink-haired girl's face, turned a tomato-like shade.

"I-it's nothing" - Saya answered as she coughed to push away those bad thoughts - "I just wanted to say that we're ready"

"I understand, we'll start first thing tomorrow morning, so I want you to get ready" - Yuriko said calmly as she pondered - "I will go myself to inform the others about the start of the operation"

"Do you want to use this last night so that those of us who will go to investigate the surroundings can release some tension?" - Cloud asked curiously.

"Exactly, that's why I'm going to give you the rest of the day to interact with your group" - said Yuriko as she folded her arms - "You've already spent too much time with me during the last few days, and it's obvious that they miss you."

Saya frowned slightly because even though her mother's words made sense, at the same time she could feel that there was something off about the way she said it. Yes, she was aware that they had spent a lot of time together working, but the way her mother said it, made her think something stupid.

"Is something wrong, daughter?" - Yuriko asked as she raised an eyebrow.

"No, I'm just thinking something stupid" - Saya replied as she noticed her mother's confused expression, which made her quickly dismiss her weird thoughts.

Cloud also raised an eyebrow, though he simply decided to remain silent.

"Is that clear, Cloud?" - Yuriko asked as she looked the boy closely in the eyes.

"Like water" - Cloud replied as he nodded - "Ok, I guess I'm on vacation, so we'll do whatever you want... By the way... Where's Kohta-san?"

"With Asami-san, the two of them have started a relationship, which is a surprise" - Saya replied with an amused tone - "I didn't think fat-kun could seduce the female cop."

"It's good that someone noticed Kohta's good points" - nodded Cloud with a small smile, after all, fate had moved in a mysterious way to bring those two together.
