Cold.

Cold steel was pressed against the throat.

Sweat.

The man gulped nervously, cold sweat running down his foreheat.

Fear.

He know that someone would try to take his life soon, he was a well-known businessman and he had enemies as far as the eyes could see.

Slash!

He felt a sharp pain at his neck, where the cold blade had rested just moments ago.

Blood.

He could feel the blood draining out of him as he struggled, trying to breath.

Smile.

The last thing the businessman saw was the smile of a young girl.

Nagisa sighed in relief as she finally closed the door to her apartment.

Home…

Safe!

Nagisa allowed herself to relax, she was safe now. Despite doing this job for a few years now she would never get rid of that nervousness after a kill. She was calm while doing it, at ease, even comfortable but after the job was done fear would settle in.

Had someone seen her?

Did the target make any sound that someone had heard?

Would the police arrive shortly?

It where does feelings that didn't allow her to relax until she was in the safe comfort of her own four walls again.

Nagisa got up with another sigh and started walking toward the kitchen. 'Time to find myself some food' she thought. Only to find the fridge completely empty. 'Oh yeah, I wanted to go grocery shopping today… guess it'll have to wait until tomorrow…'

Nagisa went into the bathroom instead. Stripping out of her bloodied clothes and stepping into the shower. She stayed inside for half an hour trying to wash away the scent of blood and death before finally giving up. She put on her pajamas and went into her bed sleep taking her over quickly.

Asano Gakushuu closed the door to his bedroom panting heavily. Tears were visible at the corners of his eyes and he had small cuts all over his torso. He walked towards his personal bathroom, wincing with every step, everything just hurt. He took the first-aid kit out of the cabinet and sat down on the cold floor. Gakushuu took the disinfection out of the kit and started applying it on his wounds before bandaging them. His father's words where still ringing in his ears.

"Asano-kun, you got three points off from perfect again. You know what that means, right?"

"No father, please!" Gakushuu pleaded but his cries for merci were unheard.

"You have to be punished! Maybe you will learn that you have to study properly this time."

"No father please stop!" but Gakuho didn't hear him.

"Please understand Asano-kun, I only want the best for you! I want you to have a bright future and for that you have to study, if you don't do that I'll teach you the importance of it as often as necessary. You are my only son after all, I don't want you to become such a failure as the students of the E-class."

'He doesn't want me to become a failure… all he's ever been doing is abusing me, he's not a father he's a monster!' Gakushuu thought.

I hate my father!

I hate his stupid school!

I hate the world for leaving me alone with him!

I just hate everything!

A few minutes later Gakushuu was lying on his bed. Tomorrow he would have to play the perfect son of the Chairman again so his father hopefully wouldn't teach him another one of his lessons.

Nagisa woke up to the ringing of her alarm clock at six a.m. She got up and walked to her closet, putting on her simple, grey school uniform and brushing her long blue hair.

She then got her back and tried to locate all the books she would need for the day. She grabbed some money for breakfast, lunch and of course the groceries she had to buy later. Lastly she got her small pocket knife and her keys before leaving her small apartment and making her way to the nearest bakery to get some food.

Nagisa entered the small bakery which was pretty filled for the early hours, it wasn't even seven in the morning after all. Most of the customers were elderly people though and a few businessman that had get to an early meeting and Nagisa briefly wondered if any of them would be her next target.

One person stood out in the small crowd however. It was a boy around Nagisa's age with strawberry blond hair. 'He looks familiar…' Nagisa noted.

Gakushuu looked the around the small shop, hoping to find the person that was watching him. 'Maybe someone that knows my father and recognized me.' He mused before his eyes landed on a small blue haired girl. 'Shiota Nagisa? What is she doing here so early in the morning?' Of course Gakushuu had recognized the girl instantly. For one because he was forced to learn all of the names and faces of every student that visited his father's school and secondly because like him she was kind of a celebrity at their school.

Gakushuu was known to be the perfect, caring son of the chairman who was always able to get his class through every kind of trouble. So had soon been dubbed the 'Prince of Kunugigaoka'.

Nagisa herself managed to get herself the title of Kunugigaoka's 'Ice Princess' as she was known for her beauty and ice cold behavior. She was never seen talking or interacting with anybody as if she was afraid of getting close to someone. And her marks where incredible as well. She always got one of the three top spots which where all reserved for Gakushuu himself, Nagisa and some Akabane guy from D-class.

"Oi brat stop standing there and get moving!" some guy behind Gakushuu screamed. Realizing that he had been standing there lost in thoughts for quite some time he apologized and started walking toward the exit but stopped next to Nagisa.

"Good Morning Shiota-san." He greeted her.

"Good Morning Asano-kun." She replied as Gakushuu left the small bakery.

'Time for another day as my 'fathers' little puppet…' He thought dryly.

A/N

So thank you everyone that decided to read this terrible shit until here. This was actually planned as some kind prolog but as I was writing the 'first' chapter I decided to have this titled first anyway since they have the same word length and I wouldn't feel ok if I posted the prolog and the chapter that follows with the same word length so yeah but maybe there will be some editing done to the next chapter anyway. I have been writing said chapter for the last 3 hours and actually wanted to post them together but I just don't like it, it feels way to rash (this ones kinda rushed as well but I still feel slightly comfortable with it) and I've written stuff in it that I didn't even plan to happen until chapter 6 or so. So yeah this fic was slightly(?) inspired by Kanon58's Connect Our Chains which I suggest you should really read. So lastly I want to apologize for all the grammatical mistakes I most likely made (English isn't my ehm how do you say it first language(?) but I hoped you could still understand everything in a way) and for this fic sucking so much. So we will see each other again in the next chapter… if I ever find the courage to update this. So if, by any chance you liked this review so I find the courage to update. See ya *bows*
