New Life : A Second Chance

Sayuri observed Sarah closely.

This girl was more troublesome than she thought. 

Due to her mission on gathering information on Kyle, she had also collected and observed those around him - and this included Sarah.

That was why she knew Sarah's schedule. She always had her dinner at a particular cafe once a week, as it had 'special memories of Kyle' - though he had never brought her there. It was a place Kyle would go to sometimes with the Elite Five.

Sayuri had chosen to go all out on her disguise this time, for Sarah must not know that it was actually her. Thus, she had chosen what she felt Sarah would subconsciously create as the 'perfect' girlfriend for Kyle.

That had been Sayuri's analysis of Sarah's behaviour. Her almost obsessive behaviour - with the flower tribute in the canteen - not to mention the controlled methods and actions she had in guiding the fans of Kyle.

Sayuri wouldn't be surprised if there was a Kyle shrine somewhere.

So she created this 'Angel on the streets, Devil in the sheets' character. More importantly, the girl has to be someone that could be comparable with Kay's beauty.

Partly because Kyle's partner couldn't be overshadowed by Kay and partly because only 'the best' is suited to stand beside Kyle.

Despite all that, however, Sarah didn't appear to be giving up. There was a determination in her eyes that seemed to want to drive a wedge between them. Even though Kyle was obviously showering her with so much love and affection, Sarah wasn't giving up.

Was this because the girl was being tenacious, or delusional?

She had even said all of those things to create discord between them. To make her feel worried about Kyle's past, especially this 'girlfriend' that he had supposedly been so in love with.

Sayuri already knew that the ex-girlfriend was just a mission, but even if she didn't, she wouldn't have been bothered. That was his past, after all. So replying to Sarah about it was actually her honest belief and stance. 

As a ninja, she had been brought up in a rather liberal way, more so because of her training in the female ninja arts. They would utilize anything in order to achieve their desired goal. Even having sex, for that was the most powerful tool a woman can have against a man. 

She had long been able to accept that men (and women) would be able to perform such intimate physical acts without any emotional attachments, what more when they are in a relationship. So what the guy had done before hooking up with her is completely irrelevant.

What was important, was how he is when he is with her.

Deathly loyal.

She would be the same. She would never demand something out of her partner unless she, herself, was willing to give it as well.

Sayuri now looked at Sarah, who had still not given up despite all the hints she and Kyle had given about the nature of their relationship. She looked completely shocked but yet, still looked determined to keep at it?

This was going to be tougher than she thought.

"Baby, you don't mind me staking my claim like that, do you?" Sayuri asked, turning her head again to look at Kyle.

Kyle simply hugged her tighter, smiling indulgently, "Of course not. I'm yours completely, just like you are mine completely."

"Maybe I should put the hickeys in more obvious places then," she declared, touching his neck while licking her lips, "That would keep most of the annoying pests away."

Then she turned to look at Sarah, "Only the stubborn and delusional ones won't get it."

This time, Sarah's mouth worked faster than her brain. She had already been having it hard to keep it down so as not to spoil her image in front of Kyle. However, after hearing all the talk about hickeys and her claiming possession made her see red.

"What are you trying to say?" she screeched, her voice going up a notch in her agitation. 

Sayuri disentangled herself from Kyle and slowly walked over to Sarah. 

The smile on her face never faltered but her eyes were sharp and full of anger, "Since you do not seem to be able to get the hints, let me say this to you clearly."

"Stay. Away. From. MY. Man," Sayuri hissed, her aura and demeanour completely changed from the young, innocent angel of before. 

Sarah wasn't backing down.

"I'm his friend and have known him far longer than you. Who are you to dictate who he can see and not see?!"

Sayuri laughed at that, and looked at her in disdain, "Are you listening to yourself? Who am I to dictate that? Who else is better to stop the women who covet him?"
