Sakura's POV

'I wonder when she's going to stop yapping,' I thought to myself then I look towards my friend, Kotori, doing her Geometry homework and sigh before looking back at the clock, watching it tick away the seconds. Kotori is wearing a black sleeveless turtleneck nylon top with black trench coat and black jeans which has black belt with silver buckle with an initial "K" and along with black knee-high high-heeled boots. I am wearing a pale pink sleeveless turtleneck nylon top with black trench coat and black mid-thigh plated skirt with black belt which has silver buckle with an initial "S" and ankle length black high heel boots.

'There goes one minute, only thirty-seven more minutes to go until the class ends,' I thought darkly to myself before sighing softly to myself before leaning back on chair.

'Allow me to introduce you to me. My name is Sakura Tenkou, and I am in Second Year at Skyline High. Currently, I am sitting in my Foreign Language, Spanish, class,' I narrated boredly and continues while pretending to listen to the teacher, 'That's my friend, Kotori Tenou. She's in her Third Year at Skyline High, we became friends in Spanish class, but that's a different story in which I won't go into details. Lastly, that's my Spanish teacher, Mrs. Tuttle; do you notice the name? It's sort of similar to turtle,'

Reader's POV

"Do you understand, class?" Mrs. Tuttle said, even though half of the class doesn't seem to be listening, then she stops her lecture for the day and goes to her desk. A few minutes later, the school bell rings for a moment, indicating that the whole school is in lock-down mode. Sakura and Kotori thought of the lock-down as another drill and begins working on their homework; suddenly both of their laptops begin beeping. For a brief second, the two look at each other then nods before taking out their representative laptops and headsets. On both of their screen displays:

'Phoenix, Angel:

An assassin is your school, searching for you two. You know what to do. Afterwards, you will be sent to rescue the Pilots at the coordinates given. Do you accept the mission?'

"Mission Acknowledged," stated Kotori and Sakura in monotone with a snide smirk before closing their laptops and puts our things away in our black backpacks.

"Call the Agency to pickup the guy, Kotori," instructed Sakura to her friend coolly then she continues, "I'll deal with our target. It'll be a snitch," with that, she zips her backpack casually. Just then, the classroom door slams open, scaring everyone but the two girls who turn to look at the assassin.

"Everyone on the ground, NOW!" yelled the man in his late forties with a pistol in his hand, pointing at anyone, who dares to defy him.

"W-what's going on?" asked Javey Tri, a classmate sitting next to Kotori in scared yet curious tone. Without any warnings, the man pulls his triggers as Javey quickly ducks and the bullet heads straight towards Sakura while Kotori finishes dialing to the Agency.

Chapter 2: Kuroi Tsuki (Black Moon)

As the bullet approached its destination, Sakura stands up from her seat and flips her waist length black hair over to her shoulder while looking calmly at the assassin. With a swift movement, she caught the bullet with two fingers, stopping it from hitting her.

"Nice try, but you LOSE!" stated Sakura to the assassin coldly and crushed the bullets with her hand then she flips over two desks and landed gracefully on the other side, a few feet in front the shocked assassin. Sakura kicked the gun from the man's hand and grabbed the gun, twirling it in her fingers before pointing the barrel at his forehead. She chuckles at his shocked expression then tosses the gun to Kotori who catches the gun and aims it at the assassin's chest while waiting for the call to get through, and without even looking at her friend or would be assailant while Sakura swiftly slapped handcuffs on the assassin.

"You are under arrest for attempted murder in the second degree. You have the right to remain silent and anything you say can and will be used against you in the Court of Law," recited Sakura after she handcuffed the assassin and she continues reading his rights, "You have the right to attorney and if you can not afford one, we will give you one," then she looks at Kotori, who smirks at her, the assassin's gun still aimed for his heart.

"Hey, Seishiro!" Kotori says when the agency operator picked up, "Send an agent down to Skyline High, will ya? Sakura and I've got an assassin on our hands and a call to arms from Madame S."

"Sure, Kotori," says a cool voice on the other side of the line, "Subaru should be there in 3…2…1!"

Sure enough, at that very moment, a black haired man with green eyes wearing a black t-shirt, jeans, boots, and a white trench coat walked in, his face showing no emotion.

"Thanks a lot, Sei-chan!" Kotori said and hung up, tossing the gun to Subaru.

Subaru caught the gun and stuck it in his pocket and smiled, saying, "Well done girls, now, don't you have a mission to take care of?"

The two girls laughed and Kotori grabbed her backpack and Sakura's and they left the class with the Omnyouji, dragging the handcuffed assassin away with them, leaving behind a stunned class and teacher.
