Hajime glanced around nervously as he waited in the elevator. A drop of sweat trickling down his forehead as he cleared his throat.

"What does she want?... and why in the middle of the day like this?"

The elevator made a light 'ting' noise as he stood forward and stepped out of the opening doors. Bright pink just seemed to gleam and sparkle off of the walls as he took a few more steps towards the large door.

"You are fine, she still doesn't know about cell 13. Everything is under control". He spoke to himself quietly before he knocked on the door twice.

" Come in"

The warden called him from the other side of the door. As he stepped in he saw her there, a very serious face staring back as she held it in her hands.

'Shes holding a file?!' Hajime thought to himself as he silently gulped and looked her in the eyes for just a moment, before he heard another voice.

" Hello big brother!"

Hajime raised his eyebrows as he looked to his right, his younger brother Hitoshi waves to him, a giant smile on his face. This brought some ease to him, and in response he gave a sigh of relief before he focused back on the woman in the chair.

" May i ask why i was called here? This isn't the usual time of day to have a meeting."

Momoko and Hitoshi both motioned him forward to the desk. As he walked up she held out the folder to him. Hesitantly he paused before taking it and opening it.

His eyes widened as he opened the file and saw a guards application, as well as a picture of a girl. She had long, deep brown hair and bangs that matched, flowing like two ribbons down her cheeks. Her eyes were a shade of bright lavender, with a darker ring near her pupil. She also had very light freckling on her fare skinned cheeks.

Momoko, noticing his sudden change in expression spoke.

"I guess that you know her?"

He straightened his face up and nodded, Hitoshi still smiling as he swayed side to side happily.

" Yeah, she is a family fr-"

" We've known Mai forever! She used to help nee-san train and she was amazing!"

Hitoshi interrupted him as he joyously fawned over the photo.

The warden let a small smile slip as she looked over to the bouncing ball of joy. She couldn't help but feel a bit of jealousy, but she soon shook her head and mentally told herself to cut it out.

" So she can defend herself in a violent situation? That is good. Supervisor Sugoroku the reason i have called you down here was to ask your opinion as to whether she would make a good guard or not."

Hajime blinked for a few seconds before looking back to her application. While it's true they've been friends a long time, he still hasn't seen her in awhile. Reading through the pages, he's impressed with all she has accomplished she has gotten numerous letters of recommendation as well as references.

" To be honest, she has what it takes to make a great guard, or even supervisor. But i am worried about one thing... "

He looked to his brother, then back to the warden as he handed her back the file.

" I'm just worried that the men will try and harass her. "

Hitoshi then giggled and shook his head, pig-tails waving. " you know she would kick their butts. She's an amazing person and i think she should join. Besides, it would be like a little reunion!"

Hajime sighed once more, and then nodded in agreement. " Yeah, she can more than handle herself."

" So you believe that she would do well" her deep crimson eyes looked into his as she put the file away.

Hajime looked towards the ground once more, trying to avoid her gaze

"Y-yes. I do."

"Very well then. I shall call and get her set up for training." She responded calmly, yet one could tell something was off about her tone. She then sent them both out of her office, watching Hajime leave as she blushed a deep pink.

' ah hajime, someday you will call me by my name!~'.
