Chapter 4: Uncharted Missions

Haruka found herself fifteen minutes later sitting in the office waiting room, wrenching through her mind to figure out what she might've done this time. Suddenly the secretary perched behind a desk that was too tall for her stood up and peered over the top. Miss Tenoh, Meiou-sensei will see you now. The blonde nodded and gulped, heading towards her office. Knocking on the door, a faint voice called out, Come in. Upon opening the door, she found Ryu sitting in a chair opposite to Setsuna.

Haruka gasped and started pleading immediately, M'am whatever he told you about me it isn't true!! He's been out to-- Please take a seat. I assure you this has nothing to do with the gibberish you are speaking of. Ryu grinned for a moment as Haruka took her seat. Now, as I told you earlier, we have a serious situation to deal with. Three years ago the Canadian government gave our own authentic mint printing plates. They were stolen from the museum two nights ago, and have been tracked to the possession of Tomoe Inc. Through video surveillance, we now know they are being kept in the storage room under tight security. In two weeks, they will go up for auction on the black market. We need you- Whoa whoa whoa, _us_?! Yes you, please do not interrupt me again, to enter the premises and take the plates, switching them for a fabricated copy we have made.

With all do respect m'am, we are not qualified to do such a mission! Never are students supposed to go out on such important matters! Isn't this a time when you should send someone who has already graduated? Ryu barked, not liking the idea of having to put his life on the line. Mr. Konachi, we would not be asking you if we were desperate. You two are at the top of the class, our biggest chance of retrieving these plates. But her!? Don't you remember what happened during training?! He continued to wail. You will not question my selection again Ryu. Now, do both of you accept? Haruka blatantly stared at her. She couldn't be serious. It didn't say anywhere in the Creston Handbook that a student would ever go on a mission like this. And of all people to be paired with, this stupid idiot? Not that she had a choice anymore; she nodded still in a trance of shock. Ryu acknowledged as well. Very good, here is what you will do. Two nights from now you will ...


The two left her office once their mission was explained to them, Haruka was still confused as to why they were sending them of all people. This sounds just a little too fishy to me, Meiou-sensei still didn't explain really why *we* of all people are going. Haruka said, and though Ryu agreed he wasn't about to tell her so. Setsuna suddenly stuck her head out of her office and called out to them. And if either one of you sabotage the mission because you're trying to get even with one another, you can be sure there will be SEVERE consequences!! They both eyed each other carefully, before leaving the office heading to the dining hall.

Haruka immediately found Michiru to spill everything that she was just told. Once finished, Michiru's jaw remained sitting on the table. You can't be serious! Haruka retorted, No one is s'pose to know! The aqua haired beauty shook her off and continued in somewhat of a whisper, That's unbelievable!! You're getting real-life experience! Forget experience, this is way beyond our league! The bell suddenly rang, signaling students should be heading to their first class. Michiru got up and picked up her bag, This is all way too cool! She exclaimed, before heading off to her class. Haruka sighed and grabbed her own, I wish I was excited as you. I'm not ready to get my head blown off just yet.
