IX: Mendacious

The sun rose above the horizon, the sun shining brightly in Y/n's eyes. The color of orange and red plagued the room, intensifying its beauty. Y/n writhed under the covers laying on her stomach, covered by big soft blankets.

Her eyes opened slightly, groaning she turned over away from the sun's glow. Only to come face to face with Sanzu, their noses touching and their lips mere inches apart. He was dead asleep.

Y/n grumbled turning over, scooting as far away as possible. She found that she couldn't sleep at all, she was wide awake. Y/n sighed, sitting up in the bed throwing the comforter off of her. Yesterday, late in the evening Y/n called Kokonoi explaining her situation about having no pajamas and Koko was nice enough to let her borrow his silky Gucci pajamas. He said he wanted her to be as comfortable as can be, he was sweet...

The doorbell rang, it was dawn so Y/n thought it was unusual. The sudden noise made Sanzu stir in his sleep, to Y/n's relief he didn't wake up. Y/n made her way down the grand staircase and past the Haitani brother's room.

"Jet lag probably hit all of us like a bitch." Y/n yawned approaching the door, she unlocked it and opened it. No one was there, it was just two boxes. They were plumish colors and had very silky material, they each had a red ribbon tied like a bow. One was smaller than the other, Y/n bent down and picked them up carefully.

Y/n stepped inside and went to the kitchen, carrying the boxes along the way. Y/n was really curious.

She placed them on the table and decided to open the little one first, untieing the ribbon and placing it neatly on the table. She opened the lid which came off relatively easily, there was a notecard on the top, it was the exact length of the box.

Y/n gently sat down the box and picked the note out of it, Y/n let out a gasp reading the note. It was from Mikey to Sanzu...

Sanzu,I haven't heard an update in a while, call me as soon as you get this. I do remember from our last conversation that you forgot your pills, and that you were having withdrawn symptoms. So here, at last, I shipped you some Ecstasy and Prozac. Feel better and make sure to tell Y/n "Hi" for me.

- Mikey

Y/n put the note back into the box and quickly shut it, pushing it off to the side. She sat there, she didn't know how to feel about it. I mean she knew Sanzu still did drugs, but she didn't know that he was taking Prozac. Prozac is called the "happy pill" and it helps with severe depression, but could also lead to suicide. And Ecstasy or Molly was a drug that made you really empathetic and bubbly, it was widely known as a sex drug.

Y/n sighed, eying the bigger box. She starred at it for a moment and reached over to grab it, she pulled the ribbon apart, ruining the bow. She threw it to the side next to the other and placed the box in her lap. Opening the box revealed a notecard and some plum-colored wrapping paper.

A blush covered Y/n's cheeks after she read the note, the note was from Koko.

My lovely Y/n,This is a present from yours truly, I hope you like it. And come back soon, I miss you.

- Koko

Y/n went to open the box, but something clicked in her head. Something she probably would've forgotten. Y/n turned to stone, did they lie to her?

That question haunted Y/n's mind, weren't they here without the rest of Bonten knowing and what did Mikey mean by updates? What was going on?

A breath at a time Y/n opened the box, revealing a slick black dress. Y/n let out a gasp, picking up the dress gently, mentally praising it. It was the prettiest thing Y/n had seen, it had a corset-like top and a skin-tight skirt that had a really high thigh slit. This beautiful dress made Y/n forget just for a few seconds.

Y/n folded the dress and shut it in the box, she took both boxes and rushed upstairs to the master bedroom.

Y/n burst through the door with silky boxes in her hand, Sanzu was awake but still laying down. He had his phone in his hands, the light from the screen illuminating his face.

He looked up to see the commotion, Y/n stood there with boxes awkwardly, her silky pajama top was unbuttoned revealing cleavage and the pants hugged her hips nicely. Sanzu sat himself up, resting on his elbows.

"Why hello," Sanzu said seductively, wiggling his eyebrows like an idiot. He saw the boxes in her hand, they were intriguing, "What are those?" He asked pointing to the boxes.

Y/n let out an awkward laugh, she didn't want to ask Sanzu if they were lying to her, he would probably flip, "Oh these are presents, from Mikey and Koko."

Sanzu's eyes went wide, "Those idiots!" Sanzu screamed internally, if they sent presents it could blow their entire operation.

Sanzu relaxed and sat up in the bed, "Here let me see?" Sanzu smiled softly, Y/n calmly walked to Sanzu and handed him the little box filled with the pills.

Y/n coughed trying to be less awkward, "Uhm these are yours, they're from Mikey." Y/n almost choked, Sanzu looked at Y/n with a skeptical expression.

Sanzu opened the box and mentally face palmed himself, was Mikey really that stupid? Or did he want Y/n to know and suffer mentally?

He looked up at Y/n with a half-hearted smile, "What did Koko get you?"

Y/n's ears perked, "Oh he got me this really pretty dress, I'm in love with it." Y/n blushed holding onto the box tightly.

Sanzu didn't bother to ask what it looked like, he would see it eventually if she loved it that much, "Cool." Was all he said.

There was an awkward silence, they both knew that they knew. Frankly, Sanzu didn't care if Y/n got hurt, mentally at least, if it was physical then that's another story. Sanzu knew Y/n was mentally weak, she had always been like that. She could kick ass but had a hard time standing up for herself and sharing her opinions. Sanzu blamed all of the future problems that would eventually stir up, on Y/n. It was her fault for being so mentally weak, right?

Y/n smiled brightly at Sanzu, these smiles made him pity her. "How about we all have a movie day where we binge the Harry Potter movies?"

Sanzu laughed setting the tiny box on the bedside table, "You idiot, Harry Potter is in English."

"No shit," Y/n deadpanned, "We can turn on the Japanese subtitles."

Sanzu wanted to say no, but how could he resist the woman he was obsessed with. "You know what, fine."

"HELL YEAH!" Y/n shouted jumping up and down swinging the box in the air.

It took a menacing amount of time to wake the Haitani brothers, they were out. While Sanzu and the Haitani brothers went to the store, Y/n tore apart Koko's luxurious living room and turned it into a fort. She added little lights and closed the massive curtains, robbing the room of most of its light.

It was still Y/n alone in the massive home, the home phone rang. Before the phone automatically went to voicemail, Y/n had gotten there just in time. She picked up the phone and brought it to her ear.

"Hello?" Y/n spoke into the phone softly, sometimes Y/n would yell into the phone without realizing it.

"Y/n." The voice spoke softly from the other side, Y/n let out a loud gasp immediately recognizing the voice.

"Chifuyu?!" Y/n screeched into the phone, a feeling of guilt rushed over to her, "I'm sorry Chifuyu, about last time." Y/n recalled the moment Sanzu threatened them with a gun to their heads.

"Y/n I don't care about that anymore." He seemed stressed, "Where are you?"

"I'm in New Orleans," Y/n said suspiciously, "Why what's up?" Y/n was concerned now, Chifuyu seemed very distressed.

"Thank goodness." Chifuyu sighed with a smile, that Y/n couldn't see.

"What's up Chifuyu?" Y/n's tone turned serious, Y/n was surprised to hear him after a long while. She was surprised that Chifuyu even found the number to the home phone.

"Takemitchi and I had Naoto track you down." Chifuyu paused becoming serious again, "Listen to me Y/n, I don't think you're a real member of Bonten. I think Mikey is lying."

"What do you mean?" Y/n asked skeptically, she tensed up and let out a sigh of frustration and confusion. She had gotten a tattoo and everything, she was an actual member, right?

"Tokyo may as well be covered in blood by now, Bonten is going absolutely insane. They are fighting illegal traders who have been stealing their very illegal shipments. And if you were an actual member you would be here right now, wouldn't you?" Chifuyu ranted, he just wanted Y/n to listen to his words, he wanted her to be safe in his arms.

"Okay, well Rindou, Ran, and Sanzu are here, they're actual members?" Y/n fought, trying to push past it. She didn't want to believe it, it was a stupid thought.

"Y/n come on! They are killing people left and right, Mikey probably sent those three with you to keep an eye on you! Just listen, come on Y/n, please." Chifuyu begged, ever since the day Takemitchi and he found out, he made it his life goal to save her from whatever hole she dug herself into.

Y/n let out an agitated sigh, pinching the bridge of her nose, "You know how crazy you sound right now?"

Chifuyu groaned throwing his head back in anger, "I am aware, we just want you to be safe."

"Where did you even get this information? From Naoto?" Y/n asked, Chifuyu was being irrational and sounded insane.

"Yes!" Chifuyu said like it was supposed to be obvious, and it was.

"You know what Chifuyu, you sound insane. I'm hanging up." Y/n felt guilty for saying this to one of her closest friends, she didn't want to believe it.

"Y/n wait! They are brainwashing you-" Chifuyu shouted, his last hope going up in flames when Y/n hit this hangup button.

Y/n slammed the phone back into the holder, where was Chifuyu getting these absurd ideas? They weren't lying, right? She was a real member?

The door opening startled Y/n, Sanzu strode through the door with bags of snacks in his hands. Y/n took a breath in and out, relaxing, pretending nothing with Chifuyu happened.

"Hey guys, how was it?" Y/n smiled cheerfully, all three of them returned her smile placing the bags onto the counter.

"Sanzu got us kicked out of the store." Ran sighing in disappointment, pinching the bridge of his nose and shaking his head in defeat.

"We can't go anywhere with him." Rindou chuckled, rustling through the bags pulling stuff out, and setting it on the counter.

Sanzu let out a laugh, he grabbed Y/n by the hips and pulled her close, "Are you ready to get your wizard on Harry?" Sanzu smirked, the disappointment that Y/n felt was indescribable, that was such a lame-ass thing to say.

Y/n pushed away from Sanzu, shaking her head in disappointment.

Ran laughed, "Damn Sanzu, that was such a fucking lame thing to say."

Rindou choked on his laugh, Sanzu threw his arms up into the air, "What!? I thought that was pretty damn cool!"

The Haitani brothers and Y/n burst out laughing, fucking with Sanzu was the best thing ever. They continued to laugh while Sanzu was giving them a whole lecture about bullying while screeching. It was the best thing ever.

Little did Y/n know, she would, later on, regret choosing to blind herself and ignore Chifuyu...

[Sorta edited] If you guys thought this was going to have a happy ending then you must be insane lol. When the time comes, I'll pay for people's therapy. :)-Duvichi
