In the darkness of a traditional looking household, with only the moonlight showing the outlines of its sheer size, its frail-looking but notably dangerous master sits on the futon with a slight frown.

"What do you mean she's not at the academy?" Her old, irritated voice spoke over the telephone. "With the target, hmm? ... I see. Thank you for the information." she hung up the phone and sighed, "Tokaku... And here I thought you wouldn't be a disappointment."

The woman shook her head before calling someone into her room, "Gather the branch families, we need to have a meeting."

Warmth. That was the first thing Tokaku felt as she woke up. Her eyes fluttered open and instantly gazed upon the oranged haired girl who was snuggled against her. Tokaku briefly wondered what this girl was doing in her bed before she remembered the events of last night.

Haru had begged Tokaku to let her sleep in the same bed with her. They'd been living together for three months as well as dating. However, the two had not done much together other than go on dates.

Tokaku thought it was kind of nice to wake up with the one you love snuggling against you. She smiled a little and tried to get out of bed without waking Haru up.

Tokaku's movement had woken Haru up. She sat up, rubbing her eyes.

"Good morning, Tokaku…." she yawned.

"Morning, Haru." Tokaku replied.

"You going to shower this morning?"

Tokaku nodded, heading towards the bathroom.

"Want me to come with~?" Haru asked in a slightly teasing manner.

"No thanks, I'm good." Tokaku denied the offer.

"Here you go! One hot breakfast for Tokaku!" Haru exclaimed with a grin as she set a plate on the table for Tokaku. Curry and toast. It wasn't a rare thing for Haru to make in the morning, she knew how much Tokaku liked curry and the toast just gave it more of a breakfasty feel.

Tokaku gave a small nod of thanks before beginning to eat, Haru quickly joining her at the table. "Soo, Tokaku, want to go to the park today?"

"The park?"

"Yeah! You can do some workouts, if you'd like."

"Hmmm… Alright…"

Though Tokaku was no longer an assassin and no longer needed training, she still liked working out. Her goal to protect Haru had not changed since Black Class ended. Even if Haru would no longer have people after her life, Tokaku always wanted to be prepared.

After breakfast, the two immediately left for the park.

"So, Tokaku, what should we do first?" Haru cheerfully asked the blue haired girl as they walked into the park.

"I don't care, go swing or something."

Haru felt something bump into her leg. Looking down, she noticed it was a blue ball. She reached down and picked it up before she noticed two kids running over to get it.

"Is this your ball?" She asked, "Mind if I play with you?"

"Sure!" One of the kids exclaimed, grinning.
Haru waved to Tokaku and ran off with the kids.

Tokaku decided to train nearby so she could keep an eye on Haru and her newfound "friends". Tokaku's mind was filled with nothing but the thought of protecting Haru.

Tokaku looked over towards Haru and noticed something hurtling towards the girl. Her eyes widened, "Haru!" she cried out, tackling the girl to the ground as something flew of their heads.
"Tokaku? What's wrong?" Haru asked, worried at how Tokaku had so quickly tackled her to the ground.

Tokaku got up a little bit, now unintentionally straddling Haru, "Something was flying towards you." she replied, looking down at Haru before realizing their positions and getting up to inspect what had flown at Haru with a slightly flustered look on her face

"What is it?" Haru asked, getting up.

"Baseball" Tokaku replied, picking it up with a relieved sigh.

Suddenly, Tokaku was tackled down to the ground by what seemed to be a man. Tokaku quickly threw the man off and tackled him, reaching for her knife to go in for the kill if needed.

"Tokaku! Wait!" Haru exclaimed, "Don't hurt him!"

Tokaku glanced over at Haru then back at the man, who now looked terrified. He looked to be in his middle ages, black eyes, what was left of his hair was the same shade of blue as Tokaku's.

"What do you want?" Tokaku asked the man.

"Please! Spare me!" The man begged, have noticed the knife Tokaku's hand was hovering over.

"Then answer me." Tokaku replied, pulling the knife from its sheath.

"I-I was sent here to assassinate you!" The man cried out.

"By who?"

"I-I can't say!" He said, "Please, Tokaku! Just let me go!"

"Tokaku… Please let him go. He won't do it again, I'm sure." Haru told Tokaku, who hesitated for a moment.

"... Fine, have it your way. But, next time he attacks, he's dead." Tokaku replied, standing up and not putting her knife away quite yet.

The man quickly ran off, still scared of what Tokaku might do.

"Haru, we're going home."

"Maaaan! Can those two ever stay out of trouble?" Nio giggled, standing before the chairwoman.

"It does seem like they've been through a lot lately. Black Class, and now this." The chairwoman agreed, a small smirk playing at her lips. "But this time, the role's changed. Tokaku is their target, not Haru."

"Yeah, but I wouldn't be surprised if they attacked Haru too." Nio stated, "I mean, she is apart of why they're so angry with Tokaku."

The chairwoman nodded, "Indeed. Why don't you go meet up with them?"

Nio was caught off guard, "What? Really?"

"Of course, someone needs to warn them of what is to come."

Nio gave a nod, "Yes, ma'am! I'll get going!"

"Excellent" The chairwoman replied, watching Nio run off before turning her chair around to face the massive screen that spanned around her office, "I think things will turn out quite interesting."
