Today was an important day; Takashi was going to officially meet Miho's mother, Shiho (the first time that she saw him was when he was unconscious in the hospital after being hit with shrapnel). Shiho and Maho were coming over to his house for dinner at 19:00 and it had to be perfect.

He decided that a great European dish would be perfect for the occasion. While he debated on which one to cook, Miho constantly insisted that he make chicken paprika, a Hungarian meal which he ended up choosing. Since the dish took around five total hours to cook until it is ready to be served, he started at 14:00 so that dinner could be held at 19:00.

Since he could not be distracted and greatly feared making a mistake, he did not allow Miho to enter the kitchen until the noodles were ready to be cooked. Miho put the noodles on the stove when she was called over.

"Miho can you help me with something?", Takashi asked.

"Sure."

Miho walked into the bathroom to see her boyfriend with his shirt off and a straight razor in his hand.

"I don't think I have the steady hand for this, Miho...So I want you to do it. I trust you."

He handed her the razor as she slowly walked up behind him. She put one hand on his toned shoulder and began to shave him with the other. She had a bit of trouble reaching him because of his height (he is now 1.78m (5'10")), but she did a fine job.

"Thank you, Miho."

Soon after putting his uniform on and styling his hair, he heard a knock on the door. Takashi walked to the door and checked the peephole. No one was there. Suspicious. He drew his Browning HI Power and flung the door open to be met with a man lunging at him. Takashi immediately fired and dodged the man's body, firing one more shot into his head when he hit the ground.

Believing there to be only one more assailant, Takashi decided to go outside to pursue him, to find seven more men in his front yard. For the next few seconds, only gunfire could be heard. Hot lead flew around constantly in every direction before one second of sub-machine gun fire put it to an end. When the smoke cleared, the remaining eight men were on the ground and two men entered carrying Takashi entered. She didn't recognize either one. The first was and quite tall, at 1.9m (~6'3") with short, dark brown hair, a lean physique (about 82kg (181lbs)), and green eyes almost identical to Takashi's. The second man was also tall at 1.86m (6'1.25"), though not as much as the first. He was about the same weight and had a strong jaw, short blond hair, and icey blue eyes. Both were handsome and well dressed, and appeared to be in their mid-to-late thirties.

She turned to the first man and asked "Who are you?"

"The name's Bond. James Bond", he said before setting Takashi on the couch.
