"What is it?" I asked uncertainly.

She leaned back on her chair. "This island...you know that it doesn't allow drug trading and abuse, right?"

"Of course." Aria replied.

"It seems that someone has been making a new type of drug and is selling it to the new people who are starting drug business." she pointed to a spot at a map she unrolled. We leaned forward.

"We need the three of you to gather information on the drug from its creator." she said at last. We leaned back.

"That's it?' Aria asked.

"Yes, but don't think that all of you will do it together. We'll be needing cover-ups, fake relationships, and a backup." she counted off her fingers.

"Fake relationships?" I asked.

"Yeah. I need Tohyama and Harune to pretend that they're a couple. Kanzaki will be the backup, since she's a quadra, she'll arrest the guy who made the drug."

"Wait...what?" Luna and I demanded.

"Just for the mission. I don't believe you're already a couple. You just need to pretend you're dating and confront the criminal. By means, you'll be together. Tohyama will do the talking. Harune will be beside him, but if something goes wrong, she'll fight the guy. However, she'll call for Kanzaki for help. Kanzaki will do the final blows and arrest the guy. Tohyama will also fight with him if something goes wrong. But before that, he has to make sure he has info on the drug. Harune and Tohyama are supposed to pretend to start a drug business." she explained.

"We can't complain." Luna said at last.

"Yes, for the sake of the justice." Aria muttered.

"I can complain." I said quietly.

"Not only that, but because this is an important task, you'll be able to get credits, and it will be counted as an Inquesta quest." she said, looking at me.

"When will this take place?" I asked.

"Tomorrow."

"Right."

"Now, you are dismissed."

We walked down the hall grumbling for the rest of the trip.

"The hell? What a terrible mission." I said.

"My place is not needed of concern. I'm content with it." Aria said bluntly.

"I'm not very grateful of mine. But I'm sure there would be worse choices." Luna said at last. I looked at her.

"This just sucks. But oh well, it's just a mission."

"Hai." she shrugged.

It was the next day, and we had to get ready. I wore a white shirt under my short jacket and jeans. I decided to look casual and went to look for Luna.

Luna POV:

This was the worst mission I've ever done. I sighed, at least we get to wear pretty clothes. I tied my hair in twintails and curled them at the bottom. I wore a dress with strap sleeves and frills. I put my gun under my dress and then went out of the room, only to bump into Kinji. We looked at each other.

"Are you Aria in disguise?" he asked at last. I shook my head.

"Where is Aria, by the way?" I asked.

"Backup Quadra, right here!" Aria yelled as she flew between us.

"What the?" Kinji said as she landed put on sunglasses.

"What's with your getup?" he asked. She had her usual twin tails, but with a mini jacket and shirt that said "rock" and a small skirt and jeans. She had gray boots on.

Aria tilted her glasses so we could see her eyes.

"I gotta dress up too." she said and put them back on. She pointed at us.

"What a cute couple! This lady right here, is she your girlfriend?" she asked formally. Kinji rolled his eyes.

"No."

"She is, you baka. It's just that you don't look like one!" she pushed Kinji near me.

Kinji POV:

Aria pushed me closer to Luna. Doesn't she know the consequences of me? She walked back and looked at us again.

"Luna, you have to hold his hand." she said thrusting our hands to touch each other. Luna turned red.

"No no, not like that," Aria muttered and then took my arm and pushed Luna towards me until she held my arm. I grunted.

"Seriously, we don't need to that." I muttered.

"You're right." Aria said and then pushed Luna so hard that my arm was squished in her chest.

"I didn't mean that!" I said loudly. Luna turned even deeper red.

"Oh? So you wanna kiss?" Aria rolled her eyes.

"It's a mission. Save the fun for later. You gotta be normal. Stop blushing. Bakas." Aria reminded.

"What fun is there to this?" I yelled.

"Luna, don't let go of him. In fact, squish him harder!" Aria said.

"Sorry, Kinji." she whispered as she grew closer to me. Uh oh. My blood was going crazy. Luna held my side tightly. I looked down.

"Alright. Let's head-" Aria looked at me. She smiled.

"Great. Now we have the add-ons. Now that Kinji's in HSS, it'll be easier for him to talk. Good job Luna," Aria said.

"Yes." Luna whimpered and held my arm. I looked at her and smiled.

"Don't worry, sweetheart. It's just a mission." I said and patted her head. I seriously didn't know what i said. Either I was acting, or it was just HSS.

We walked out of the building, and then turned to a dark alley from the sides of the buildings where residents put their trash. Aria held her nose. Luna stopped breathing but inhaled every few minutes. I put a hand to my face as we walked further down the alley. Aria stopped abruptly, letting us go to the other side, where there was a guy in ripped jeans and t-shirt with his arms crossed and leaning on the side of a wall, well, not to mention a trash can. He looked at us with one eyes and smirked.

"So you're the newbie drug sellers?" he asked, reaching his hand out for a shake. I took it hesitantly with Luna still on my side.

"Yeah, um, I"m Toohyama, and this is my...girlfriend...Harune," I presented swiftly, even though I stuttered a bit. Hysteria was fading. Luna already noticed and squeezed me more, which probably wasn't going to work, it was just making me uncomfortable.

"I'm Takashi Kirishima. So...what do you wanna know about the drug?" he said and put his legs up on a can.

"What's the purpose for this?" I asked.

"Power." he said, his eyes lighting up. "Esper stuff, supernatural things, I mean. So we can all take over this city."

"What?" Luna blurted suddenly.

"Why do you guys need power? Are drugs seriously supposed to do this?" I asked. He shook his head.

"It ain't much of a drug...as ya see, it's addictive, and everyone will wanna be gettin' it," he said with an informal manner. I raised an eyebrow. Luna shivered and stepped a little back, still clinging to me.

"Um, demonstration?" I requested. He took a bottle out of his pocket that was filed with purple liquid spilling and splashing inside the container. It was toxic looking. Well, I guess you could say it was toxic...but it looked disgusting. He snapped the bottle opened and drank every last drop.

Suddenly his eyes began to glow, and his hands were turning red. Instantly, fire started to glow into his palms, and he showed up the flame that he possessed.

"Easy as that. You wanna try on your girlfriend or somethin'?" he asked, pointing to Luna. She shook her head.

"No thank you," she said sweetly in a high voice, trying to act a bit like Aria.

"Mmm, she's cute. Anyways, different kinds of power, different types of setting. It's the best drug yet. You gonna sell this?" he asked.

"Yeah we will." I said. Luna tugged on my sleeve. I looked down.

"Toohyama-kun..." she said sfotly, her eyes shimmering. I gulped.

"What is it...Harune-chan?" I stuttered, becoming mesmerized.

"Is this a good idea?" she asked again.

I looked away. "I don't know. But we're just new people to this. We should try..."

"Wait a second." the guy squinted at us.

"You guys don't look so normal. don't tell me you're...Butei?" he asked, his eyes widening. Luna smiled and let go of my arm.

She yanked out her gun from her thigh and aimed straight at his face.

"Kirishima Takashi, you're under arrest for illegal drug business!" she yelled. Luna's skirt fluttered while some strange wind flew into the alley. I closed my eyes before anything happened. I heard someone shoot.

"Backup! We need backup!" Luna yelled again. Aria was above my head, I felt, and looked up to see her standing on the roof, looking down.

A girl who fell from the sky... I thought, but had no time to ponder. Aria jumped down and I stepped away. She aimed her guns at him too. I shot at the bottle that was in his hands and we all saw it crash, spilling out more of the purple liquid.

"Damn!" he cursed and grabbed the front of my shirt. I clenched my teeth.

"He's got Toohyama!" Luna said. Aria muttered.

"We need to arrest this guy quick." she quickly flashed out handcuffs and kicked him on his back, which was about to make him throw him.

"Ugh!" he gagged, and let me fall to the floor. Luna grabbed my waist before I hurt myself on the floor.

"Egh...Kinji...are..you okay?" she breathed into my shirt, and then slowly let go of me. I stood up, because she couldn't really carry me or anything.

"Fine. And you?" I asked. She looked up to me.

"You really eat a lot! You need to lose weight," she puffed.

"I didn't ask if I was fat or not, stupid!" I said, sighing.

"Lunnnaaaaa! The bastard melt the cuffs!" Aria shouted.

"What?!" Luna cried as we saw two burned cuffs falling from his wrists.

"Did I also mention that just from one drop of this will make you have eternal powers?" Takashi laughed insanely. My eyes widened.

"What's gonna happen? He'll burn everything!" Aria demanded, who was sliding her guns back into place. Luna and I did too, in case he decided to some other scam.

"How will we get this to be?" Luna questioned. I looked at the spilled drug on the floor.

"Let's drink it." I said, pointing to the liquid.

"You crazy? We'll become insane!" Luna protested.

"BESIDES, it's not enough. THAT GUY ONLY HAD ONE BOTTLE WITH HIM!" Aria yelled partly for no particular reason.

"The dude said one drop will make you have eternal powers. If you just dip your finger it will be a a bit more than one drop. If one us is lucky, we'll have some kind of power that can arrest this guy." I explained.

"One shot..." Luna shrugged. She dipped a dainty finger into the slipped thing and sucked it. Her eyes widened.
"What the..." she gasped. Her whole body started to flash for some reason. Suddenly she was right next to me. I looked at her, surprised.

"What's this?" I asked.

"I'm...a teleporter." Luna smiled. "Sweet!"

"THE HELL?" takashi screamed. "I DIDN'T WANT YOU BASTARDS TO TAKE MY DRUG! GO BURN AND DIEEEE!"

"Shut up!" Aria put more cuffs and kicked him.

"I want to try!" Aria sucked on her thumb after dipping it. Her body started to glow and turned red. Fire came out of her fingers.

"Fire? Seriously? What will this do to help arrest this guy?" she asked, but went with it.

"Um, my turn," I said and wiped up the last of the drink. My hands began to strengthen and I felt like they were turning to rock. I put my hands down.

"So what happened?" Luna asked.

"I don't know..." I said, a little bummed.

Aria kicked Takashi again. "Hey! You made this drug. Don't you know the effects?"

"I...don't know all the powers made to this..." he stuttered.

"Stupid baka! Don't know your own creation!" Aria sighed.

"We'll find out later...for now..." Luna thought.

"Let's make strong-metal cuffs." Aria suggested.

"That's too long to make...but...iron is strong right?" Luna asked.

"Yes." I answered, still staring at my hands.

"Then I'll just teleport some iron." Luna said. She closed her eyes and soon enough she was holding a pole of iron.

"i wish we can hit this moron with this," Aria muttered and stomped next to Takashi.

"Kinji, this might have something to do with you." Luna said, pushing to the pole to me, since it was heavy. I grabbed it with my might, but slowly it started to soften and turn.

"What...don't tell me that ain't iron," Aria said.

"It is...wait...is this my power..?" I asked aloud.

"You're an esper that can bend metal?" Luna asked.
