AMIYA MAHI

PART-1

"She is none other than the daughter of the president of black ice!", Kazuya announced proudly as Mahi and I blankly kept staring at each other.

"Natsuki?", Mahi questioningly turned her face towards Kazuya.

''Hm? Isn't that your real name, parrot?''

"No, absolutely not", she fiercely stared at Kazuya's eyes, "Amiya Natsuki doesn't exist now"

"Ehh? Isn't that your birth name?"

"So what? I don't acknowledge any of that man's doings. Anyways, I'm a mistake, aren't I?"

"Haah", he sighed,"Whatever, I don't have the time to start a fight with you now, parrot ,unlike you who is always ready. Mihir, take your seat there."

"Ah also, now that my game is up; there is no need now to pretend in front of you. Even though, I thought finally things were slowly starting to fall in place.....", she sighed,"Well, why are you here, Mihir?"

"Looks like your demeanor has completely changed, huh?"

"Ahh, well probably you're correct"

"Well he is here for his own murder, you know?", Kazuya casually dropped the bomb.

"Uh?'', her eyes twitched as she went in a shock for some seconds. "For real?!", she exclaimed.

"For real", Kazuya smiled.

"Don't worry, I will play you a handsome amount of cash in return of your job", I said to her.

"Huh? What are you talking about? Is that what you think of me?", she closed upon me as she said the last line. "That's disgusting", she looked straight into my eyes with a creeped out look.

"Ah so you don't want anything? That's fine"

"You don't seem to understand but that's not the problem here. We're talking about your death, isn't it?", she said in a rigid yet worrying manner.

"That's right, so?"

"Is it that normal for the both of you? Isn't Mihir your friend, Kazuya? Then how can you talk so normal here?"

"I've killed countless number of my friends and comrades all over my life for whatever reason it may be and you expect me to put out some friendship drama now? You really, really need to change your soft mindset, Natsuki, that is if you want to survive in this world and find your family."

Mahi smiled and said,"You may be actually right, Kazuya, but sorry I...still won't let this guy die."

"What are you blabbering about?", I let out my words sharply.

"That's enough, let's get you back, Mihir"

"Who the hell are you to order me, huh?"

"I'm your Personal Assistant, Amiya Mahi"

"Stop your nonsense. I'll pay whatever you want if you leave me alone from here"

"I don't want your dumbass money, you asshole. Just stop this nonsense and come home with me."

"Now you're ordering me, huh?", I asked in a heavy noice, now a little triggered.

"Yes, you're right"

"And what if I don't listen?"

"Nothing. Kazuya, come with me and you can choose to enjoy your time here though I'll make sure to call and tell your family about you coming here. Also, if you plan to flee somewhere else, then I'm sorry to say you can't exit the campus without my permission."

"Aren't you crossing your limit? And WHO are you to make up these dumb rules?", my nerves were ready to explode at this point.

"I am the acting president of Black Ice. And thus I have the full authority to reject your order or do whatever I want, understand?"

That was it. Never in a long time have I been betitled or blackmailed by a person like such and thus it directly directly hit my ego like a bullet.

"Kazuya, if you don't mind, can I hit her?", these words unconsciously escaped my lips. This was probably the first time in a while where I lost my control and that too, to a petty girl like her. Huh, how far have I fallen...

"Ho-ohh?", Mahi chuckled and then spreading her arms wide,"Come boy, you can fight me", she said as she lowered her eye lids as if taunting me.

"Kazuya, this is my last warning, I must say", I gave a death stare.

As big of a scumbag he is, he smiled slyly and said,"Well, if parrot herself is inviting you so where do I come from?"

I know she is provoking me; alluring me into making the first move. This girl...she has something going on in her mind. I mustn't take her so lightly after all.

But still....

With adrenaline rushing through my body, I charged at her with a never felt before pumped feeling. I threw a first upon her face which she surprisingly defended and launched a reflex attack upon me using her knees which I barely managed to dodge.

Without wasting any time, I launched another attack; this time it was aimed at her shoulder. Not to my surprise, she deflected my hand and the instant I destabilized, she threw a mighty kick straight at my belly. As a result of impact, as I fell back a little, I came to confirm one thing- she was very experience in fights, same as me.

"You look quite experienced...", I said.

"Well, I might be? Who knows?"

"In acting that is"

Upon hearing that she smirked and said tauntingly,"I could same the to you, Mihir-sama~"

I smiled back at her ,"You really are an interesting one. I must admit my defeat here."

"Oh?"

"But, I must also ask, even if I return home now, what guarantee do you have that I won't turn to somebody or commit suicide myself?"

"If suicide was an option, you would have already done it Mihir if you weren't a coward by chance and talking about somebody else, you must mean the group of all the spies, assassins, murderers and all those types of crazy people right? The ones which are against Black Ice. What was their name again?"

"Mirage", Kazuya announced from behind.

"Ah, yes, that. Well, speaking about that, it would be very funny if they wipe of their own leader, you know?", she giggled at the last part.

I was speechless for a second. This girl knows one of my heaviest secrets which literally nobody in the world knows. Here I thought I had worked so perfectly and flawlessly to conceal my identity these past few years.Just how much does she know?

" That must have came as a veeery big surprise, right? Well, don't worry, I myself got to know this just today."

This girl seemed to be way ahead than I expected and it is almost fascinating....I was purely checkmated in this situation.

"Seems like I've no moves left, at least for now."

"So, what is next?"

"I'm going back, of course."

"Then, let's do one thing. We'll have dinner first and then go together by my car; after all, I'm your personal assistant."

"Hm? You gonna continue that drama?". Though, that wasn't a big surprise to me as I already saw something coming like this. It's not like, she knows about me and now can easily expose me so I've to obey all her orders as she too is a lot like me with secrets which I'm sure she doesn't wanna get exposed.

"Of course, you might've already guessed but I'm on a mission right now and this position is very crucial for me."

"It is something related to your family, right?"

Her face grew a bit grim."As expected from you Mihir, you caught on that line which Kazuya blurted earlier right? Well, yes, you are right; it IS related to my family"

"Ah, I see."

"Well, we'll talk more later. My stomach is burning right now....Kazuya, is the food ready?"

"Yes, parrot. Shall I send it to your room as usual?"

"No, set the dining, as Mihir too is there today"

"Oy, I'm not gonna dine here. Also, isn't it a bit too early to have dinner?"

"Well, I've had nothing since morning except the tea and snacks which your girlfriend served, so it isn't- atleast for me"

"Then you can gladly eat while I go back"

"No, we will go together Mihir. Just let me quickly finish my food and then I'll drive you back"

"Well, I don't have a choice but to listen to you, right?"

"That's the reason I offered you to eat together"

"Still I'll pass. You can have your dinner and come, I'll be waiting"

"Well, that's fine", she said with a 'I don't care' look. "In that case, Kazuya, I'll have my dinner in my room".

Saying this, she left leaving Kazuya and me alone.

"Kazuya", I slowly muttered his name

"Yes, yes. Though not everything, I can give you some basic information about her. Let's walk as we speak."

"Natsuki is the first daughter of Amiya Wakaya or Kimura Wakaya, as all know. To be honest, I don't know much about her since I never had much contact with her. All I know is that she is an exceptional lady. She is a trained professional in many forms of martial arts, her intellectual thinking is way beyond anyone else, her bodily abilities like pure skill, reaction time too are honed to perfection and not to mention, her memory too is astounding"

"You just bluttered out some really obvious nonsense, Kazuya, well though you did provide me a better insight."

"Regardless of all that, I think that she's the easiest person to beat."

"May I know the reason?"

"She is just far too emotionally unstable, you see. A little emotional game can easily end her. But that would be hard for you to initiate since you know practically nothing about her or her personal life. Anyways, I've some work now, we'll talk later."

"And what shall I do in the meantime?"

"You could go to parrot's room, you know"

"No thanks, I'm just fine here in your office", I bitterly said.

"Alright then, enjoy yourself. See you later!", he casually waved me goodbye.

PART-2

"Are you ready to go home, master??", a taunting female voice pierced into my ears as I was aimlessly operating my phone.

. She began to walk behind me and for some reason, the entire area became quiet while we walked.and only the sound of the wooden floor could be heard.

As soon as we got out, she called me from behind saying-

"Hey, the car is parked here", she said pointing towards the garbage.

"When did driving at 16 become legal?"

"Oh, I'm actually 18 you know, so I have my license", she stated it as a matter of fact.

"How many more lies are you hiding from me?"

"Many", she calmly responded as she opened the garage.

"Hop in quickly"

".....", I silently went and sat at the back seat.

Thereafter began our ride back to that house again, after all that.

"I have a question, care to answer?"

"Spit it out", I replied with my usual demeanor.

"Do you know about the Hirakans?"

"Ah what? What does that even mean?"

"Well nothing, leave it."

"Hmm, I've got a question too. How did you come to know about my connection with Mirage?"

"I made Kazuya spit the truth out just a few hours ago when I was scanning through some records."

"That bastard...", I clenched my fist."What else did he tell you?"

"Nothing much. But still, I wonder how no one except a very very few people know about your identity as Mirage's leader? At least, someone should have leaked it by now I think."

"Huh, you can't be serious right? Do you think Mikage is some C grade organisation that my identity would be revealed so easily? It's just like your father's case; only a handful of people know how he really looks and his real name."

"That man takes a lot of care regarding his identity. Using face masks, fake beards, moustaches and wigs, sometimes also sending other persons in his place and what not. But what about you? Mirage is not a small organisation, right? Hope you understand where I am getting at?"

I sighed and said,"I use a slightly different version of the 'undercover boss' method. Me and the six vice presidents disguise ourselves and act as normal members of the organisation while there is an enigma sitting right at the top and constantly exchanging information with us while he acts as the fake boss."

"And what if he gets caught? How can you trust that he won't betray you?"

"Eight people together have created the Mirage. That enigma is one of them. I hope this gives you your answer."

"Yeah, quite a bit."

"Since, now you know quite a bit about me, why don't you tell me a bit about yourself?"

"There's nothing to know about me. Moreover, you must have asked Kazuya about it, right?"

"Of course, but he just gave me something which I already had an idea of. Well, you left when we were talking about your family, so can you continue from there?"

"....."

"Hm?"

"We'll save that topic for later", she just brushed it off like nothing.

I sighed and kept a mum, well, because I had nothing to say here.

"I'm an ordinary person, Mihir; well I would sound very cliche if I said that but I'm not as special as you think. Though, I'd like to believe I'm not a bad person. You can choose to trust me from here on, if you'd like. Once my job is over, I'll end my relationship with you and leave you forever."

"Hmm?? You seem to act less cocky than earlier", I smirked.

She sighed a bit and then said,"Well, I had no choice but to act like that there or else you wouldn't stop."

".....", while giving a silent response I looked out of the window to witness the Tokyo tower, as beautiful as ever. It is the first place which I remember having went together with my mother. It is a very sweet memory including for the part where I got lost and then someone, whose face I don't remember clearly helped me find her. Thinking a bit about today's incident, was it mother who didn't wanted me to die today and came in the form of this person to rescue me? Is she trying to indicate something to me? Like something which I've yet to see before I die. Well, let's see.....
