Protect Me Not
Prologue
"They're just children. Are you sure they can handle this job?" A man with reddish brown hair and purple eyes asked. He glanced at the man sitting in front of him to the two papers laid out in the said man's desk. The man, a 25 year old dressed in black with a white mask covering his face, looked at the young client in front of him. He pointed to one of the papers.
"With all due respect, my choices aren't wrong. This girl is the smartest and fastest we have. And as you know, our agency is the best of the best. She is wanted by several agencies. This girl is the best at what she does." He said, looking at the client straight in the eye. He wanted to say more, but there's only one man in the agency who really knows the achievements of these girls. Unfortunately, though, he isn't here.
'I can't believe I need that homosexual idiot now.' The man thought, rolling his eyes.
He sighed as the man in front of him still looked unsure. He decided that he would just proceed. He pointed at the other paper.
"This girl is the Number One agent we have. She's the best when it comes to improvisation, consideration, planning and protection. She's always ready to risk her life. More agencies want her more than the other one. This girl is fucking famous for saving important lives." He said, his tone with a tinge of finality. He gave him one last look. "I'm telling you, they are perfectly capable."
"But these are the heirs to two of the most famous companies that we're talking about. Can they protect them as well as men, Mr. Serio?" The man asked again and this time "Persona" couldn't help but notice his sexism. Just as he was about to reason out to his client one more time, the bathroom door opened, revealing a blonde man with purple eyes dressed in a suit. He waltzed into the room casually, looking at the ceiling as he did so. He went behind the desk and stood beside Persona, who was secretly thankful of his presence. The blonde leaned on the table before pointing at one of the papers and looking down on the client.
"This girl was able to devise a plan in 3 minutes to protect the target in a hijacked hotel. She also protected the daughter of the Japanese prime minister and the prime minister himself when their plane was taken over by bandits. She once took down 20 men trying to kill an heir to a company using only her 7-inch heels, and she can use the things in a hotel minibar to create a killer drug." He said with a monotonous tone before he pointed to the other paper.
"This girl was able to disarm a bomb strapped on the target, saving both the target's and a U.S. Vice President's life. She also took 5 bullets to protect everyone in a political meet. She protected the Prime Minister of Britain when his limo was ambushed by an enemy. She once took out 15 heavily armed men with only a butterfly knife, and she can use anything within her grasp as a weapon." He said, a little pride in his voice since this girl was also the girl he raised and trained. He tapped her paper thrice before grinning.
"She once used a bra she found in the hotel room of her target to kill 5 men coming after the man she was told to protect. Really, this girl has no shame and mercy."
Narumi then pointed at the client in front of him. "These two are the best of the best in their generation in this line of business. It would be such a mistake if you say no to them."
Persona decided that this was the time to cut the young director's speech. He looked at the client in the eye before leaning forward. "Now that that's done, let me ask you a question…" He smirked before he continued. "Do you really think your precious heirs will get hurt if they are protected by the two best agents in the business who have not only protected heirs but also political figures from Japan and other countries?"
The client gulped before he finally stood up and walked to the desk. There, he looked at the director.
"Make sure all you're saying is the truth."
The blonde kept his face stoic. "I swear on Persona's life."
The said man snapped at him. "Hey."
The blonde ignored him. He held out his hand.
"Do we have a deal?"
The reddish haired man took his hand and shook it. "Deal."
Persona looked at his table calendar. "We will bring them over to you on Saturday."
The client nodded before he signed the contract that had been laid out since the beginning of the conversation, bid his farewell and left.
Persona's office was engulfed in silence.
The masked man sighed. "Well, he was a sexist."
He was replied with more silence. He raised a brow.
Narumi, silent? Impossible. He looked at his superior but was immediately pushed to the floor. Narumi had thrown himself on Persona and he hugged the masked man tight.
"Persona! That man was SCAAAAAARYYYY!" The 25 year-old director wailed, holding onto Persona who sat up. He peeled the 'homosexual' blonde away from him.
"Narumi, one minute you're all cool and the next, you're a wailing cry baby. What are you, bipolar?" He asked, his brows furrowed and his tone annoyed. He stood up and fixed the chair that he had fallen in before kicking Narumi away from where his chair should have been. He wheeled his chair to its place before sitting on it. He decided to ignore the man still on the floor and started to keep the profiles of the two best agents in the agency.
A minute later, the blonde was beside him again. He leaned down and looked at Persona. He grinned.
"Persona thinks I'm cool." Was all he said.
Those 4 words threw Persona off. He glared at Narumi. "What?"
"You said so."
The masked man shut up as he tried to remember his words. When he did, he groaned.
"Just shut up, you faggot." He said, ignoring the grinning Narumi. He looked at his calendar one more time before grabbing his pen and marking Saturday with 'H.I.' and 'M.S.' Without looking up, he commanded Narumi.
"Call those two and tell them that their next job will be on Saturday, at the Hyuuga and Nogi Mansions."
Silence.
Then Narumi grinned wider. "You're so cute, Persona."
