EPISODE 3:

Didn't I promise to protect you?

You believed me, right?

I would never ever break that promise...

I wince at our charge voice. She's supposed to be well-mannered not like some weird banshee spurting nonsense about being to young to have a fiance. Unless she hadn't notice, I too don't like this predicament.

Being tired of her constant pacing and screeching, I decided to stop her by pulling her arms, which in my opinion, is the stupidest thing I've ever done. I know I'm smart for a reason and I would leave the stupidity to the other members of Class Q. But for some odd way, I think stupidity is contagious.

Have you ever heard the saying that in every action there is a reaction? Well, after pulling her arms to stop her pacing she spun around and landed on me. Her sof- I mean her unattractive lips landed onto mine. That stupid, self-centered girl stole my first kiss! Argh! I really hate this mission.

I could feel the members of Class Q's eyes widen and stare at us. Unfortunately because of shock or some unknown reason we stayed in our 'kiss' longer than necessary until she realized that we have our lips upon each other did our charge leap 3 feet away from me. She then shakily point at my indifferent face and shouted, "You stole my first kiss!"

I snort at her accusation and at that point, I think every member of Class Q had a heart attack. "As if I would stole a kiss from an unattractive girl like you?" I taunted.

I look at her and found 'Sakura-san', I would never call her by her name, shook with rage. That's right princess, cry like a spoiled brat you really are. But I guess, I was wrong in my assumption of character. Especially, when she marches in front of me and slap me in the face.

STUPID!STUPID! GIRL! I gritted in my mind. I glared at her in utmost anger I could feel in my heart. I really want to choke her or something. I HATE HER!

"How dare you!" she muttered under her breath, "You stole my first kiss and look as if it's my fault we kissed? I don't care anymore! I don't want you protecting my life!"

She then turns around, stiffly bowed at everyone of us and run outside. I can't help but feel a twitch of annoyance in my eyes. That girl is really testing my patience. I was about to walk out of the mansion and never look back at this mission again when the rest of Q class barricaded my way. HOW DARE THEM?

"Move it! I'm not in the mood to indulge your silly games." I told them and I expected them to actually make way but they stand there ground.

"Ryu!" Kyu was the first one to speak, "Do you know what you did? You just let our mission walk out on us."

"And she's your 'fiance' starting now! Therefore, she's your responsibility. That is why I decided to let it be your job to actually find her and apologized." Kinta declared that earned nods from the remaining three.

I can't help but glare at them. As if, I'm going to search for that woman. Who does she think she is?

"She's our charge, Ryu-kun." Megu answered as if reading my unspoken question.

"Besides, are you alright to have your very first failed mystery case?" Kazuma taunted.

Twitch. Twitch. Twitch. "ARGH! Fine! I'll search for that girl! But don't you dare accused me of hurting her more! It's your fault for sending me!" I told them and push past my annoying members. And just before I reach the door I could faintly hear Kyu said, "Something is definitely up. I've never seen Ryu so worked up."

"Ah, Kyu-kun! You're just to young to understand! It's something that is called "sexual tension"." Kinta's said followed by a booming laugh.

Thirty minutes has passed. I, Amakusa Ryu, have been searching for that girl for thirty minutes! And my usually long patience is wearing thin. For some odd reason, this girl, is doing this to him! Alright Ryu! Think logically. You're usually calm. Breath in and out. Come on. Don't let anger cloud your judgement.

In. Out. In. Out. –sigh-

"I guess… it really is my fault. I shouldn't have let my anger get the better of me." I said to myself. As I realized my mistake, I tried to remember her character from the first time I saw her. Maybe it would give me some clue on where to find her.

Pretty girl, so it's a possibility that she goes to the mall and buy things to blow off some steam. However, when we met her she's not wearing any make-up and her jewelry is consists of a pair of earrings and a watch. Too plain, to be considered a shopaholic. In addition, for someone who is an heiress of a multicompany, she's only wearing a simple jeans and a collared shirt. Therefore, I guess she's not the type to go to the mall for a shopping trip.

Hm. Where could she be? Wait! The painting! How could I have not noticed it? Smirking at my own deduction, I hurriedly went to the nearest library.

Searching frantically for our charge, I was relieved to find her silently ranting in one cubicle a book in hand. Smirking, I walk towards her and stand behind. "So I was right to know that you're a book geek." I told her and I was amused to see her face turn so fast to look at me.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" she screamed that earned her a glare from the librarian and a "SHHHH" from the people inside the library. I saw Sakura-san blush a bright red before she gave me a withering glare and buried her face in the book she's holding.

I slowly sat beside her and lazily looked at form. I saw her stiffen consiously before her shoulder sagged. "Seriously, Amakusa-san, did I ever do anything to offend you?" I heard her ask.

At first, I contemplated my answer to her question. The truth is she never did anything wrong. I was just preoccupied. It seems like there something important that I need to do. I guess I need to apologize. "Sakura-san…" I started but she interupted me with a mumbled, "Yume… I'm not my dad, you know."

Strangely, I can't help but gave a small smile at her words. She's a really weird girl. Weird but interesting. "Alright, Yume, I'm sorry." I said, as she slowly looks at me, that made me avert my gaze. "It's not really your fault why I'm acting this way. You just caught me in a wrong time. I'm sure it's not a proper excuse to be mad at why I'm sorry."

Silence enveloped the two of us as she gazed at me intently. At my peripheral vision, I saw her close her book and put it in the desk. She then faced me and gave off an apologetic smile. "Truthfully, I'm also at fault, Amakusa-san." She started thoughtfully. "Well, considering that I'm the one who throw out a fit when I heard your going to be my fiance and even screaming and walking out is unrecalled for. That's why I'm truly sorry."

I shrug at her and gave a slight nod. She then smiled happily and said, "It's a truce then?"

Finally, facing her, I slowly put my forehead unto hers. Yume blush a heavy color red and I smirked evilly. "Sure but only if you do my two conditions."

"And what are those conditions?" she squeaked that made my smirk wider. "First, you should call me by my name." I told her slowly which she answered with a soft "sure". "And the other is that you're going to accept our proposition of protecting you as well as our disguises."

"I… alright… I agree." She accepted hurriedly her forehead feeling warmer against mine. "Great." I told her and I slowly straighthen up. "Again… Hello, I'm Amakusa Ryu, your fiance. And I promise to protect you as long as I can princess."

Then, I held her hand and pulled her to her feet. "Come on, princess. Let's go back to your home." I said as I pull the blushing heiress. I think this mission is not so bad at all. Our charge amused me that I didn't even realized that someone was staring at our exchange.

Somewhere, beehind the row of bookshelves stood a man. He has a deep set of dark eyes. A scar run from his left cheek to the corner of his lips. He was wearing a simple black polo and a slacks. To everyone inside the building, he would look like a regular person searching for a book for his research but if you look closely, you could see a dark smile painted in his lips and a hawk-like stare that is fixed in the two teenagers that exited the library.

He slowly reached for his phone and dialed a number. "Master." His deep voice said, "We have a problem. It seems Yoshiyo-san called some very talented kids to protect his daughter. And I think you would be happy to hear that one of the person gaurding her is none other than the Pluto's heir, Amakusa Ryu…"

A/N: I have no excuse why I'm so late updating. Alright maybe I have one… I'm losing my idea about this story! However, I'm not giving this up yet. Hopefully, I would have enough idea juice flowing in my brain regarding this. Another is I'm very busy at a moment you see I'm already graduating from college and it's a little hectic but that's not a valid excuse. That's why I'm sorry for the late update. Anyhows…. Haha… I hope you would enjoy this chapter although Ryu is a little OC at the end. Another, is I'm thankful for your reviews. I so love it and sorry for the grammatical errors above. And if my idea is a bit… hmm… ugly? HAHA. Well, that's all I could tell you and again THANKS FOR YOUR REVIEWS! MWAH! And hope you'll continue reviewing!
