So guys this takes place after episode 7, so the only assassins left are Nio, Isuke, Banba, and Sumireko.
Tokaku groaned as she fumbled around the covers of the bed for the phone that just so happened to wake her. Finally finding it she flipped it open only to snicker to see it was another text message from Kaiba with another of his uncompressible riddles she was required to answer. She sighed snapping it closed not wanting to give herself a headache in the morning… morning?
The sun shined heavily through the window, it obviously wasn't early morning anymore.
"Ichinose wake up, we're going to be la-" Tokaku began until realizing the cheerful red-head wasn't in her bed.
A knot began to form in Tokaku's stomach, she wasn't the type of person to assume things but strangely when it came to the other girl, even when she went to the bathroom or the shower and she couldn't be by her side, it made her grow incredibly uncomfortable and a nervous wreck.
Several scenario's played through Tokaku's head as she imaged the different reasons why Haru wasn't here. Did one of the four remaining assassins sneak into the room while she was asleep? Did Haru get tricked into leaving the room in the middle of the night?
Tokaku gritted her teeth together as she jumped out of bed and made her way toward the door. As she rounded the corner she bumped into something, receiving a surprised yelp.
"Owowow, Tokaku-san where are you going to in such a hurry?" Haru asked rubbing her backside.
"H-Haru" Tokaku sighed with relief. "I was worried when you weren't in your bed."
"Sorry, Haru just took a quick shower, and decided that Tokaku should sleep in a while." Haru said with her usual perky attitude 'Tokaku-san just called me by my first name didn't she?' she thought to herself with a grin.
"I see… what's with the grin?" Tokaku asked raising an eyebrow.
"Ahaha" Haru laughed nervously "It's nothing, but you should get ready or we'll really be late."
Tokaku stared at her suspiciously, but decide to leave it be for now. She nodded turning around walking toward her dresser and grabbing her usual outwear.
"Ichinose, are you planning to go to class like that?" Tokaku questioned the other girl who still stood in the doorway with nothing but a towel on.
"O-of course not!" Haru stuttered blushing slightly, as she quickly walked into the room 'I guess it's back to Ichinose huh?'
The day went by pretty normally to say the least, with no surprise assassinations so far. Tokaku stretched her arms as she leaned back in her chair waiting for the last bell to ring.
"ohoho, Tokaku-san you look pretty relaxed." Nio snickered "But I wouldn't let my guard down if I were you." She teased.
"Tch, go bother someone else." Tokaku said not entertained by the other girls company.
"As cold as ever I see, that's no fun." Nio pouted "You should loosen up a bit." She said placing a hand on Tokaku's shoulder.
"I would prefer if scum like you wouldn't touch me." The blue hair girl growled in a dangerous voice slapping the hand away.
"You're pretty scary Tokaku-san." Nio smirked not fazed by the other girls tone.
"Are you guys fighting again?" Haru asked walking up to the desks with a slight frown "Wouldn't it be better if you guys tried to get along?"
"I don't want to be friendly with that thing." Tokaku spat bitterly
"I'm a thing!~" Nio stated happily as if she was agreeing with it.
Just then the bell went off and Tokaku got up immediately from her seat, wanting to get away from the annoyance.
"Let's go Ichinose."
Haru nodded following the other girl. "Oh, one more thing before you leave Tokaku-san"
Tokaku barely glanced over her shoulder to acknowledge the blonde hair girl.
"This is for you." Nio called out jogging forward and handing the blue haired assassin a letter. Although unlike most of the black letters she got so far in this class from the other assassins, this one was white with simple decorations over it. The letter also gave off a very sweet but faint smell.
Tokaku looked down at the blonde hair girl questionably.
"It isn't from me if that's what you're thinking. It's from a girl from one of the other classes. She asked me to give this to you. Apparently she was too shy to do it herself" Nio shrugged.
"Why would someone from another class give me a letter?" Tokaku questioned, eyeing the shorter girl suspiciously
"A secret admirer maybe? Judging by how the card looks it seems to be a love letter." Nio guessed.
"A-a love letter?!" Haru interrupted "B-but Tokaku-san doesn't talk to any of the girls from the other classes."
"True~ but Tokaku-sans actually pretty popular with the girls in the other classes. I think she started to get a lot more attention after the Romeo and Juliet play." Nio exclaimed in a matter-o-factly tone.
"But I personally think it's because of Tokaku-sans boyish looks and personality-" Nio began only to be interrupted when Tokaku flicked her forehead. "owwww" she whined rubbing the spot the taller girl hit.
"let's go Ichinose" Tokaku muttered literally dragging the girl out of the classroom.
Tokaku breathed a sigh of relief when they finally got to their room.
"Finally some peace and quiet" Tokaku sighed plopping onto her bed.
"Tokaku-san?" Haru questioned.
"What is it?"
"Aren't you going to open the letter you got?" Haru asked.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about it." Tokaku said as she reached into her pocket and pulled out the letter, and examined it.
Haru sat on her own bed and watched the blue hair girl fiddle around with the letter before opening it and reading it.
"What does it say? Does it say who's it from? Is it really a love letter?!" Haru asked bombarding the other girl with questions.
Tokaku raised an eye brow at the girls strange behavior but answered her questions anyways.
"The only thing it says is to meet up with this person after school behind the dormitory tomorrow, and as for if it's a love letter; I guess I wouldn't really be able to say since I've never acquired one before."
"I-I see" Haru muttered. "Are you going to go?"
Tokaku closed the letter and placed it on the night stand "It could be a trap…" she began. "But I'm also curious to see who would send me such a letter."
"…."
"Ichinose? Are you alright? You've been acting strangely ever since the end of class." Tokaku asked worriedly
"I-I'm fine" Haru reassured "Haru… Haru thinks you should go."
'Why? Why is it bothering me so much that Tokaku-san got a love letter? I mean it's not really any of my business, right?'
I hope you guys liked the first chapter guys, I'd love to hear your opinions of what you think so far! :D
