Chapter 1: The First Task.
In a bright white lab, there's a man sitting on a chair and his fingers never stop tapping on the alphabetical buttons on the keyboard. He seemed tense on the work, until he finally gave it up and let out a small sigh. He glanced on the cell phone nearby before he dialed up to calling someone. Patiently, he waited for the receiver to pick it up.
"...It seemed that some of the targets were unexpectedly changing their route. However, I'm not entirely sure if they might be heading back to the location as we speak. I ensure you that it's better not to dismiss the team yet."
"...About the remaining, I will use my team to eliminate them. I know they're still in training stage, but I'm sure they are ready for the real business." With that, he ended the call and stared on the monitor.
He reached another computer and pressed a single button and patiently waiting for someone to greet him. He slowly rested on his palms under his chin before glanced to his computer. "It's finally begun, isn't it?"
"He will be the first to test. If he failed on this one, then the rest of them will be..."
"Is there something I can help, Master?"
The man turned his head to another male figure, who's standing near a closed elevator. Then he turned his chair to face him and began the conversation.
"KAITO. Do you know why I'm calling you here?"
Kaito frowned then looked straight to his master. "I'm not sure what's all about, but I can tell by looking on Master's face, it's a serious problem."
"Well, it's not that serious anyway." he chuckled.
The man stood up, facing Kaito with both hands in the pocket. "KAITO, you will give a mission as your priority job. Your mission is to eliminate a virus before it entering the core. Is that clear?"
"U-understood!" For the first time, Kaito never had a dangerous mission, and his master noticed that he's quite nervous. Kaito stared aimlessly on the floor, thinking about his task. "Um... I wonder, where's the location of the virus?"
"Ah, I forgot to brief you about this."
'Because you kept this matter by yourself, Master.' Kaito thought.
"Ehem, so. We don't know who cause this virus to appear, but it travels through the net and searching for valuable resources. Fortunately, we discovered a group of viruses and set a trap for them. The other team was waiting to destroy them there. However, some of the viruses suddenly separated from the group and heading for other resources..."
The man walked back to his table and opened an image in his computer. "One of them heading to this place. It's one of the best collages in Tokyo. Your mission is to find a virus called 'The Red Skull'."
"Sounds creepy." Kaito said in low tone.
"This collage has a lot of government top-secret files, so you will disguise as a student and search the virus through their net." He ended.
"W-wait, hold on! Disguise as a student? Why not tell them straight away?"
He paused and turned to Kaito. "Like I said before, they have top-secret files, KAITO. We can't simply go there and tell them about this. If this matter leaked to the public, you know what the government will do to you."
Kaito gulped and remained silent before he nodded without asking further questions.
"Very well." The man stood up and smiled at him. "Tomorrow morning, come and see me. I'll provide you the uniform and some documents. All you have to do is go in there, find and eliminate the virus, isn't that simple?"
"Err... right. Simple." Kaito narrowed his eyes and sighed before he exited the lab.
A slide door closed behind Kaito and inspecting his room. His room was mostly white and blue, a set of table with two chairs, a rack with full of discs and of course, a bed. Quickly, he went passed the furniture and buried his head on the bed. He wasn't sleepy, but he felt annoyed instead. Then he took a pillow and covered his face.
"Feeling trouble, onii-chan? It's not like you."
Kaito knew that voice because only one person who called him that. He jolted awake to sitting position and his eyes narrowed to the door. He wondered why he didn't hear the sound of sliding door.
"Oh, am I the one who troubling you? I'll come back later then."
"No. It's okay, Miku. Have a sit."
Miku approached to the seat nearby before she turned to her not blood related brother. He did look in trouble after all.
"Thinking about collage stuff, wasn't it?"
"Yeah... H-how did you know?" Kaito grabbed the other seat, looking a bit surprised.
"Soon after you got out from the lab, Master called us. He thinks that it's better to inform everyone about this, for precautions."
"I see. Why not he just admitted this case is serious? Instead of a group, he's sending me alone eliminate one dangerous virus." He complained.
"...Really, onii-chan?" Her tone changed.
Kaito happened to look into her innocent eyes, and he could tell how she'll look like when he's not around. 'Damn it, Kaito. Watch way you're saying.' He thought and took a deep breath.
"Hmm, looks like we have to cancel our shopping plan tonight. How about tomorrow night then? Taking care of one tiny virus isn't tough as you think." He grinned as he crossed his arms.
"I suppose you're right. Besides, you're not that bad getting the fourth place in shooting contest. So in my prediction, it will take a loooong time for you to destroy it."
"Not my fault for not being game maniac."
"And you claimed yourself as an awesome big bro even though you lost to me, Rin and Len?" She smirked.
'She got a good point.' Kaito sweat dropped. "A couple of shooting practices would be fine then."
"Okay, I'm going to go practice my new songs. Remember, tomorrow night. Don't forget!"
Kaito nodded before Miku bounced out from his room. And again he's alone, thinking about the mission. What possibly the virus would go if its target is at the collage?
"If government files are there, the first place to find is inside..."
"The office, of course."
The short answer made Kaito turned to the long pink haired woman with books on her left arm near the door. 'Why they aren't knocking the door before entering today?' He frowned.
"And I don't think I gonna love those, Luka." He pointed to the books.
"My, you're not dumb as you look. I'm impressed!"
"Is that a compliment?"
"You'll thank me later, Kaito-san." Luka walked to the seat and dropped the books on the table in front of her. "Once you study all of these."
"No way!" Kaito exclaimed. "Why do I have to study collage standard lessons, if only I got twenty-four hour mission inside the net!"
"No one said you've to stay inside the net."
"You don't mean that..." Kaito got bad feeling about this.
"You'll follow the routine of regular collage students, and what I mean is, lessons in the morning and afternoon. Your golden chance to find it between recess or the last lesson of the day. So, I bring these books to make sure your brain processor to keep working. Study them."
"This is crazy." Kaito glared to her.
"...By the order of Meiko-san."
"! F-fine! I'll do it!" He pouted as he flipped open on one of the books. Luka chuckled as she noticed he was sweating in bullets.
"Well, that works. Good luck for tomorrow." She took her leave until the door closed behind her. By that time, Kaito slumped on the table with the opened book.
"Mei-chan, you know I'm not good with studies..."
Tomorrow, school nostalgic will hunt him down, and it'll be one tough day for Kaito.
