We were in the coffee shop the next day everyone was busy as usual, but I wasn't feeling well. I hardly slept last night, I was thinking about her. I was thinking about the things that happened. Snow suddenly tapped me on the shoulder and said:
"Are you okay?"
I was startled and I didn't know what to say. And I barely heard what she said.
"Kunimitsu Tezuka is it something I can listen to? Is it about… Setsuna?" she asked with a mixture of concern and pain in her voice.
"Yes it's her." I sighed.
"Can you do it tonight? I think you're sick, maybe you need to rest." She said in a worried voice.
"Yes I can do it and I'm alright. By the way can I talk to you later, after our work?" I asked hesitantly.
"Sure!" Snow said with a smile.
That night before our mission Snow and I went to the seashore. We sat on the sand beside each other. We always go here to talk about things important or not. At first we were both quietly listening to waves that reached the shore.
I looked at her as she looked at the sea with her cold eyes. I inched a little to fill in the gap between us and then I leaned against her shoulder. She did not react in any way but I felt her muscle tensed a bit and then almost instantly it relaxed.
"Snow—"
"—you don't need to talk if you don't want to. We could stay like this as long as you want, so suit yourself." She said quietly.
We stayed like that for a few minutes and just by staying like that made me feel better I don't know why, but I really felt much better. Then she broke the silence.
"Everything will be alright. If she really loves you she'll accept you. She'll love you even if you're an assassin. No questions asked. "She said in what seemed to be a strained voice.
I was about to ask her if there was something wrong when her phone rang and I know that it was the go signal.
Both of us went to our positions. Niquita stood in front of the gates, while the others including me hid behind trees and bushes. A car stopped and three armed men went down. Another car arrived; the Daidouji family went down from it. Niquita shot one of the guards and the guard fell to the ground lifeless. Ayame got Daidouji's eldest son with her cable. And that same time Snow and I attacked the others.
Snow was instantly beside one of the guards; we heard her voice and all of us turned around. She was stabbed on the arm by one of them, but she did manage to kill him. Niquita had shot the driver's head, while I slashed the throat of Daidouji's younger son. Snow had captured Mrs. Daidouji, and she had her slashed several times.
I was about to slash Daidouji with my katana when one of the guards shot me, I was hit on the shoulder. Ayame tightened the cable around the neck of her victim and the girl dropped dead. She then captured the guard by the neck; I stood up and slashed his throat. I then turned to our target and I was surprised by his reaction. Instead of pleading for his life he said:
"I'll kill you…"
But I didn't want to hear what he was saying so I slashed his body. My katana was once again filled with blood. I turned around to ask Snow if she's alright but…
