Akai Ringo Novels & Stories

"Should I jog your memory? You told us someone tailed you and took away the technique, but right after you quit, our competitor released a new project. It was supposed to be ours." That did bring up some memories. It was a damp alleyway, and the ground was little better than mud. I could still feel their hands crawling across my body. "Excuse me, they told us to create an accident and cripple her, not…" "Ah, who cares? Her lover's not trying to stop us, so why should we be gentlemen?" All the color was gone from my face. My silence excited Rachel. "I think this whole encounter is a setup you came up with."

Tora whispered as she hugged me in my seat. "Sure. Rest well," I replied as Tora pulled away and ran towards my brother. Dylan chuckled and whispered, "I doubt she'll be able to rest well, my dear." I was confused and looked at my brother's flushed face as he held Tora's hand. My brother suddenly lifted her into his arms as they walked away. I looked at Macan's reaction, but he just looked back at me and smiled, then crawled near me. "Ahri, where did you get that ring?" Macan asked curiously, holding my hand before pressing his lips against it.

Luna placed the tuna sandwich in front of me before they started pigging out with the pasta and chips. “Oh,” Luna cried, making us all look at her. “Roux, this is Akira. I know you don’t like people but Aki is part of our circle so we decided to bring him here. Aki, this is Roux.” My gaze fell on Akira. I assumed that Akira is a girl. He’s still watching me with those pair of piercing eyes like he’s trying to decode me. He put down his coke and offer me his hand which I just stared at. Luna and Lucas exchanged awkward glances. Finally, Lucas shook his hand for me. Akira didn’t say anything.

“What?! You’re Rin?” Julian froze. A wretched look appeared on his face. “You’re the sovereign of the Shindan Way and one of the Island Nations’ greatest Sword Saints!” “How are you the leader of Misfortune?!” Akio chuckled bitterly. “If I wasn’t Rin, why would I even know why you’re here?” Harvey frowned. He had predicted it somewhat, but he still found it a little unbelievable even after Akio revealed his identity. “Fine. If you’re really Rin, I’ll have you answer a few of my questions.”

He turned to Aiko while raising his brows. Aiko rolled her eyes and looked the other way. "By the way, this is Aiko, Rina’s sister. Remember, Rina?” Kalli nodded. “Yes, your girlfriend.” At the same time, Kalli extended his arm to shake hands with Aiko. Aiko didn’t know how to react at first. She was quite hesitant to correct Kalli that Rina is no longer Goo’s girlfriend and to take Kalli’s hand, the gesture was too formal when he actually looked like a snob when she saw him last night with Goo. It didn’t suit him. But she took his hand anyway.

Michelangelo rolled his eyes. Vicktor knew Michelangelo was being condescending, yet he replied, “Tikhon is boss because he is smart and cunning and ruthless and not at all greedy, all at the same time. Yoshiro was ruthless and cunning but not smart. His cosca has a rule, never use the product yourself and they have been abiding by that for so long yet when it came to the auction ring, Yoshiro has the largest number of Odals right after your brother. The auction ring is for clients not for us. Yoshiro has been using the product and outbidding our clients resulting in pissing them off.

It was the highest level of perfection. “How about we buy that?” After silently accompanying Akiko for a while, Kenji suggested letting her do whatever she pleased. But instead of doing anything, Akiko stood there, overwhelmed by happiness. “Huh? What?” Akiko turned to look at him. “That.” Kenji pointed at a stall selling ringo ame. “YES!” Akiko raised her hand in enthusiastic agreement, rushing ahead of Kenji to the sweet-smelling stall. Ringo ame is a classic snack at summer festivals. It’s made from a whole apple pierced with a stick at the base, coated with warm liquid sugar, and left to cool until it forms a thin crystalized sugar layer on the outside.

Alpha Angelo asked. “Nothing, share with me Alpha.” “Do you remember the book that lost? Did you see the picture of its book cover? Isn't it similar to the one Aubrey is putting on?” Alpha Angelo asked. Actually, you made me so curious now. I didn't pay attention to it, but now you have said it….” Alpha Angelo hummed, “she is the chosen one too,” he said nonchalantly. “Huh? How is that possible how does a human get to have that ring? Is she from Diana's hunters generation?” Beta Dagon asked.

The echo slammed into empty air where Tanaka had been and instead smashed into Ringo’s unguarded back with his own stored power. Tanaka was breathing heavily at this point. Ringo stumbled forward with a strange laugh, the grin twisting into something feral. “Oh, you’re clever.” Tanaka twirled a green card into his hand, smirking despite the ache in his rib, jaw and shoulders. “You haven’t seen anything yet, brochacho.” Ringo rolled his shoulders, still grinning, but there was a twitch. "I got to admit, I didn't think you would take my punch and hit me by dodging it."

“Kismet…Rings of Truth…the soft wings of your love caught me unaware. Apart we were like missing puzzles, constantly missing the other halves of ourselves. Missing you daily, calling your name…Peter…you saying Sammy…our fantasy…our reality, emotional, determined, and persistent, the soft wings of our love, magnetic, passionate, loyal, sensual, loving…you are mine, Peter, I am your Sammy.” END
