lumigo akvo9504: I I'm honest, neither of them are my favorites. I ship Haruhi with Mitsukuni (sorry, I love him), but as I'm already pairing him with Nagisa... well, I had to improvise. Your Tamaki-Kyoya-Haruhi-Takashi theory is really interesting, though, I liked it a lot. But just for you to know, here Tamaki won't be gay, and Haruhi never really thinks about the second year's relationship to make her decision. That's all I'm gonna say for now. Yesss, little Nagisa keeps ending up in the middle of every bad situation, doesn't she? And I'm the one writing her story, as she doesn't even has time for it, don't you see she's busy all the time? And about Mitsukuni's dad... well, I did promise some interesting events, didn't I?

Caibb: Yeeep, dramma everywhereee! And yes, this was happening, and it's just the beginning. I'm exited about how will it end up, actually hahaha.

Did you noticed I updated two days in a row? I'm proud of myself. I don't even know how I made the time to write this today. I'll regret it later, when I'm taking my tests, failing all of them, but for now I'm just proud, so lets leave it there.

Hope you like this!

"When Horite Asasaki told me you were the one who finally put an end to Gwendolyn Surrey, I must admit I was surprised. The girl my son was helping with her fighting skills in our private dojo was actually an assassin who worked for the Ministry of Defense." Nagisa lowered her head, nervously biting her lower lip. He didn't seem specially mad, but Nagisa wasn't buying it. He was in all his right to be mad, she had blatantly lied to him and his son. And it wasn't a small lie, it was a life-or-death one. Literally, as she could have killed any member of his family or staff while she was in his house.

"I..." Nagisa closed her mouth. She didn't know what to say. She couldn't just tell him she was gonna confess someday, because it was obvious she wouldn't. But she couldn't say she was sorry either, 'cause she wasn't. Her life as an assassin wasn't related to her everyday life. That was the reason she had a nickname, and why she never left survivors if they had seen her. It was a rule she would never break. She hadn't plan on her two lives mixing anytime soon.

(She had no idea of how things would change rather sooner than later. But that was a story for another time).

"I want to make a deal with you, Nagisa-san." she sudden use of her given name made her jump a bit in surprise, but Yorihisa didn't look phased by it. "I want you to work for me. Don't worry, it would only be as a contact. I know you're bonded to the Ministry until you retire. But I talked with Horite-san, and he agreed that, if you wanted, you could take the offer." ok, so now she was really confused. When did they got to that point in the conversation? Because she had totally missed that turn.

The bluenette stood still, following Haninozuka-san with her eyes. He drew a stack of papers out of his expensive-looking suitcase, and he positioned it in front of her. Nagisa, still in the same position she was before, gazed at the papers. It was obviously a contract.

"You... I don't understand." she finally said, and Yorihisa smiled a bit. It was a strange thing to witness, as the man didn't smile often. But he had sort of a likeness towards the girl, and she looked like a little mouse right there, standing, confused about what was going on.

"Everything is explained there. If you read it, you'll understand." he then motioned towards the exit, turning around one last time. "You don't have to answer me now, Nagisa-san. Next time you come to my house with Mitsukuni, come to my office and tell me what you have decided." and then he left, leaving Nagisa alone in one of the various conference rooms of the Ministry, with only her thoughts for company.

The bluenette was still processing what had just happened. She was still alive? How? And she had gotten an outside contractor. Karasuma-sensei warned her that it would happen eventually, when her name started to get some recognition in the world of assassins, but Nagisa never expected it to happen so soon. Was she ready for it? And working for Honey-senpai's dad as an assassin, of all people? She wasn't sure.

'I need to think this carefully. I don't want to waste this chance, but it is more important to keep my secret like one.' she thought. Maybe she could ask Karasuma-sensei, or Bitch-sensei... the 3-E could help too.

Yeah, she couldn't decide something as big as that on her own. It was time to call the gang again. And to buy food. Yeah, she would need to pass by the market on her way home.

"Do you know what's going on?" Gakushuu was worried. Nagisa had called half an hour ago, saying that she needed his help, and that she needed him to come over to her place as soon as possible. Minutes later, he found out Karma and Ren were called too, as well as the rest of last year's E Class. Hell, Karasuma-san and Jelavic-san were called too! What was so important that Nagisa needed all of them?

"I'm as clueless as you, Ace-kun." sighed Karma, who was walking by his side. They met while going to Nagisa's, an decided to walk together. They were going towards the same place anyway, so there was no point in walking on their own. "But Nagisa did sounded worried when she called, and today is training day, so probably something happened while she was at the Ministry." said the redhead, shrugging a bit. "We'll know soon, anyways, so it doesn't matter. But if she called Karasuma-sensei and Bitch-sensei... well, surely something's going on." assured the boy, and Gakushuu sighed. Karma was right, there was obviously something going on, but there was no point at stressing out about it before even knowing what it was.

When they got to the house there was chaos. Of curse, at least ten people were already there when they entered Nagisa's. Nakamura was talking with Kayano and Okuda about something, while Isogai and Maehara were sitting together in one of the couches. Itona was there too, talking with Kimura and Ritsu, and Kurahashi was looking for something at the fridge. Hayami and Chiba, the Assassination Classroom official snipers, were greeting Nagisa, who looked like she was about to have a mental crisis just that moment.

Just as those two went to sit with Isogai and Maehara, both boys came to greet Nagisa themselves.

"Hey, Nagisa, are you alright? You sounded like crap at the phone, and you don't look any better." those were Karma's encouraging words. Nagisa rolled her eyes. Why was she expecting any better from him, anyways?

"Gee, thanks, Karma. You know just what to say to make a girl feel better." she said monotonously, before turning to look at Gakushuu, putting on a slight smile. "Glad to see ya, Shuu. Hope you're not having workaholic tendencies again, though." she said, sending him a stern look, and Gakushuu had to look away. He couldn't just lie to her, not with those bright, big blue eyes piercing straight through him.

"Sorry..." he said, looking down, and Karma laughed. "Shut up."

"It's funny how you look oh-so-mighty, but this midget can put you down with one sentence. It's hilarious!" he clapped, still laughing, and it was Gakushuu's time to roll his eyes. He was so childish.

"Karma..." Nagisa didn't have to say anything else. Karma stopped intermediately, looking the other way. Yes, he was too a bit scared of his friend's repercussions. Probably more than a bit, but definitely not unfounded.

Gakushuu was about to say something, probably mocking Karma, but decided against it when he saw Nagisa.

Rio, who was looking at the whole exchange, huffed.

"You're both such cowards. I get it, it's Nagisa, but still, man up you idiots..." she murmured, before turning back to her conversation. Karma and Gakushuu looked at each other, processing Nakamura's words. Yep, that didn't help them. At all.

They had to wait a little longer before everyone showed up. Surprisingly, Ren and Hinata came together. Was something going on there? Probably yes, but now was not the time to pray about those matters.

"Ok, Nagisa, break it down. What was it that you had to call us all here?" asked Maehara, raising a eyebrow. And as Nagisa was who she was, she told them everything.

"Alright, I'm gonna star from the beginning." she sighed. It was a long story. "So, you know I'm friends with this rich guys at school, right? Ok, one of them is Haninozuka Mitsukuni. I mean, the heir to the Haninozuka family." everybody knew the name. It was well known for the 3-E, as the Haninozuka's were the reference they used to train back at the mountain. And Nagisa was saying she was friends with him? "I know, it's crazy. But he's nice, and cute, and super sweet. Like, too much. But that's not the point here!" she said. Damn her dispersed mind! "The thing is, he, of course doesn't know what I do for the Ministry, because why would he, right? But he knows I work there. And then I met Haninozuka Yorihisa, Honey-senpai's dad, while I was in his house. And more or less an hour ago I found out he figured out I'm an assassin." an all hell broke loose.

Everyone was shouting, either freaking out like Nagisa had done, or trying to come up with ideas to get the bluenette out of the country without being noticed. They could do it, they had Ritsu, and they had already interfere with a spaceship launch, so everything was possible at that point. One more illegal thing... it didn't really made any difference to them, specially if it was to help dear little Nagisa, who had helped all of them at some point. It was time for them to return the favor, it seemed.

"Ok, calm down everyone!" shouted Tadaomi, one of the only calmed presences in the room, and everybody else fell silence. "Thank you. Now, Nagisa, please continue."

"Yeah, so... where was I? Oh, right. Ok, so Haninozuka-san talked to me, and somehow he decided not to kill me, and instead decided it was a good idea to offer me an employment contract. I haven't read it yet, just a few things here and there, but he said I would be a freelancer that would work for his family if required." she said, and everyone started to think. "Now, the problem is, I'm friends with Honey-senpai, A.K.A. Haninozuka Mitsukuni. Next head of the Haninozuka family. And I really don't want him to know I'm an assassin because that would be extremely awkward and unpleasant. But if I agree, probably he'll find out."

Nagisa bit her lower lip. She needed advise, and she needed it quickly. Her next meeting with Honey-senpai would be the next day, and she would need to have an answer by then. If she didn't... well, she didn't want to think about what could happen. Yorihisa Haninozuka was no game, he could be a real threat if she wasn't careful. Nagisa couldn't just come to his house empty handed.

"Wait a second. You're saying you call Haninozuka Mitsukuni, the Haninozuka Mitsukuni, as in the one you based all your fighting style last year... Honey-senpai?" asked Gakushuu, gaping at her with disbelieved.

"He's pretty nice. I thought he was a toddler when I saw him for the first time, though, because at first glance he looks like he's eight years old for some reason, but he's actually very mature, according to his age." commented Karma, and Nagisa felt like throwing herself from her balcony. Did they really had to discuss that right now? She was having a crisis here!

"You've met him Karma? And you didn't tell us?" the 3-E looked hurt, not really noticing how the bluenette was freaking out.

"That's not important right now, guys! I'm having an existential crisis! I have no idea what the fuck am I gonna do! What if he tells Honey-senpai if I say no! Or what is he tells him if I say yes!" she cried, desperate. Nagisa really needed help, she had no idea what to do. Her life was at risk this time, and she wasn't sure how she would get out of the mess this time.

"Hey, Nagisa, calm the heck down, alright?" she turned to face Ren, who had walked towards her, and was looking at her straight into the eyes. "We're gonna help you fix this, ok? But you need to calm down."

Nagisa nodded, breathing deeply, trying to stop her heart's fast rate. They were gonna help her. She wasn't alone this time.

"Now now, we can fuss over the fact that Karma didn't find necessary to tell us he knew Haninozuka Mitsukuni, or that Nagisa was a friend of his, later." stated Yuuma, deciding that his blue haired friend needed a hand first. "For now, how about we help Nagisa?"

Everybody ended up agreeing, and so they started to think on a plan that would benefit both Nagisa and the Haninozuka's, so Nagisa's secret would be safe.

"Hey Nagisa." the bluenette looked towards Kimura, who was frowning, thinking over his idea. "What about you accept his offer, 'cuz we all know it would be great for you and all that, but with the condition of making him sign an NDA? That way, you'll get an outside contractor, and your secret would be safe." it was actually a very good plan, better than the ones she had hear until now. They mostly were about threatening Yorihisa, change her identity or directly help her leave Japan undetected. Yes, not likely to happen, not with Kyoya-kun's police force. Though with Ritsu... no, Nagisa needed a plan that let her keep her life as untouched as possible.

(And yes, most of those ideas were given by Karma, Rio or Itona. Those three had some twisted thoughts on those heads of theirs).

"That is actually the best idea I've heard so far. I like it." Nagisa thought about it, and then looked over to Karasuma-sensei and Bitch-sensei, who just nodded. They thought it was worth to give it a shot too, so Nagisa was going with it.

"I can help with the contract. Be sure you read yours before signing, though, Nagisa." said Karasuma-sensei, and then it was settled. She was almost ready for her meeting tomorrow. Now she just needed to go through that stack of papers. Ugh. That sounded even worse than her math homework.

...which she had forgotten at Haruhi's.

God-fucking-dammit.

"Akabane... yes, that name rings bells. Where did you heard that, boys?" Yuzuha Hitachiin was thinking. Her sons had come to her office just some minutes ago, asking is she knew the name Akabane. She surely did, but she wasn't sure is she should tell her children. Kami knew what they could do with the information.

"Akabane Karma, he's Nagisa's friend. You remember her, right?" said Kaoru, and Yuzuha nodded. Yes, she remembered her sons talking excitedly about how that girl with blue hair could tell them apart. She was still wanting to know her, as anyone who could see through her boys' acting was someone worthy of her attention. Besides, the twins seemed to be happy when they talked about her.

"Oh, in that case... the Akabane family owns a lot of banks around the globe, and that's why they're always traveling. I only get too see them once or twice a year, but I was friends with Rusu-chan at school. You said Nagisa was friends with Karma?" she asked. Yuzuha hadn't seen little Karma since he was a boy, but she knew he wasn't living at his family mansion anymore. Apparently he had moved out years ago, when he entered Kunugigaoka's middle school instead of Ouran, where his parents wanted him to attend. Yuzuha never thought she would hear about him from his sons. The world was small, it seemed, especially if she considered this Nagisa girl was Karma's best friend. Huh, the ironies of life.

"Yeah, he came to the club room some days ago. You know why isn't he enrolled at Ouran?" asked Hikaru, seeing that his mother was up to talking about it

"Well, he didn't want too, and he had a fight with his parents about it. In the end, he won, and he started middle school in another school." she said, not wanting to disclose so much information. She told them the truth, but without telling them the really important thing, as she knew they would bother her with questions until she answered them, or worse, they would find out with somebody else. That way, Yuzuha made sure her boys wouldn't trespass any lines. If they really wanted to know, they would need to ask Karma himself, and see what he answered.

The twins, on the other hand, were quite satisfied with that new information. At least they now knew why the name sounded familiar. Now they only needed to know why Karma didn't want to attend Ouran. Maybe Nagisa would know.

"That was a good fight, Nagisa. You're really improving!" Nagisa smiled at Honey-senpai's words, but she knew he was only being nice to her. Yes, she lasted longer than when she first started her training with him, but still... it was unfortunate to see how bad she looked after she fought him. She looked like crap, as if a truck had crushed her over and over again. Yeah, not good.

"Thanks, senpai, but I'm not that sure about that. You still beat the crap outta me." she sighed, and Honey-senpai chuckled.

"I beat the crap outta everyone, Nagisa, don't worry." Honey-senpai laughed, but Nagisa didn't. It was sadly true, though, that he did mopped the floor with everyone. "What I mean, is that you last longer than before. I would dare to say you could fight with Chika-chan with fair chances of winning soon." he said, and Nagisa's head lit up. Yasuchika was Honey-senpai's little brother, but he was a beast. Not nearly as strong as his brother, but then again, nobody was as great as Honey-senpai, so that was never a good comparison.

"You really think so? I mean, you told me Chika-kun is pretty good. I don't know if I'm on his level yet." she laughed nervously, playing absently with her hair, like she did when there weren't any knives. Mitsukuni thought she looked adorable that way, and smiled a bit.

"Of course! You need to give yourself more credit, Nagisa." he assured her, and he wasn't lying. He did think Nagisa would soon be ready to spar with Chika, she just needed to believe in herself a little bit.

That was the moment Nagisa noticed something was off. Where was Mori-senpai? She didn't notice when he left the dojo, but obviously he wasn't with them anymore.

"Hey, where's Mori-senpai?" she asked, and Mitsukuni internally swore. He had hoped Nagisa wouldn't notice, but she was too perceptive for that. Mitsukuni asked Takashi if he could leave while they trained so he could get some time alone with Nagisa, and so far it had worked wonderfully.

"Oh, he said he was going to get something for Satoshi that Chika-chan has in his room, so he'll be back soon." he lied, turning his phone on to send Takashi a message about it. He could get something from his own room, but Nagisa could never know about his plans, at least not until he was done with them.

"Oh... ok, then. I guess we can wait for him, right?" said Nagisa, and Mitsukuni nodded, happy that sh didn't want to leave just yet.

The truth, unfortunately, was that Nagisa was waiting for Yorihisa to call her so she could tell him her answer. But of course, none of that Mitsukuni needed to know. She had the contract the head of the Haninozuka had given her the day before, and her own confidentiality agreement contract in her bag, waiting to be signed. If she needed to be honest, Nagisa was anxious. She was sure of her decision, but Haninozuka-san's answer was something she couldn't predict. He could either accept or deny her request, and everything could crush depending of that.

"Hey, Nagisa..." Mitsukuni spoke, and Nagisa turned her head to look at him. "I was thinking... there's a new bakery that will be opening in a couple of days, and... I don't know, would you like to come with me? Takashi can't come because he has kendo practice, but I really wanna go, and I would be so happy if you come with me." that's right, he said it, he actually asked her out. Not that Nagisa needed to know he wanted it to be a date, or anything, but still, it was a win for him.

And yes. Takashi not coming was all Mitsukuni's doing. It had took a little for his cousin to accept, but in the end, Takashi agreed on letting the blond to go without him.

Nagisa looked at him with surprise. Was he...? No, of course no. Why did she even thought about it? She was just being silly. He had just said he was asking her because his cousin couldn't go.

'I would be nice, though...' Nagisa's cheeks turned pale pink with the thought. It would, wouldn't it? In the end she smiled, and nodded happily.

"Of course, senpai, I'll be happy to come with you. You know I never say no to sweets." she winked, and Mitsukuni laughed. She was so cute...

"I'm sorry to interrupt, Mitsukuni-sama, but Haninozuka-sama requieres Nagisa-sama's presence." a maid had popped out of nowhere, almost giving Nagisa a heart attack. Where did she come from? A moment before there was no one there!

"Otôu-san?" asked Mitsukuni, looking slightly surprised. The maid nodded, and the Haninozuka heir sighed. "Well, I'll accompany you to his office. Thanks for telling us, Kama-chan."

The maid just bowed and left as silent as she came, and the two hosts stood up, grabbing their things. Training was completed anyways, and they were really just waiting for Takashi so they could take Nagisa home, as they did every time she came to the estate. It had come to become an habit, because neither Mitsukuni nor Takashi wanted Nagisa to walk alone in the night. The bluenette thought it was a sweet thing for them to do, as they were literally leaving their house to take her home and then coming back.

When they arrived to Yorihisa's office, though, the head of the Haninozuka family stopped his son, asking him to wait outside for his friend. He assured it would only take a moment, and in the end Mitsukuni had to comply, leaving the office reluctantly.

When the door was closed, Nagisa bowed to show her respects, as she was in his house. Yorihisa bowed his head in acknowledgement, and then Nagisa sited across the desk. There were some business to discuss.

"I take this as that you have already an answer to my proposal." said Yorihisa, and Nagisa nodded, drawing out the papers from her bag.

"Yes, Haninozuka-san, you are correct. I decided to accept your offer, on one condition." she said, smiling politely, and Yorihisa raised and eyebrow.

"And what would that condition be, if I can ask?"

"You'll have to sign this NDA, if it isn't too much to ask." she handed him the contract. "It states that you cannot talk about me, nor my identity to anyone who doesn't have prior knowledge of my involvement in this deal, and that applies too for when the next head of the Haninozuka family takes over." explained Nagisa, pointing everything as she spoke. Yorihisa had to admit, she was good. He couldn't see any loopholes in the contract, not that he minded. If the girl wanted to keep it a secret, he wouldn't argue. But he knew why she was bothering on making him sign the contract.

"Alright, I agree to your demands. But sometime you'll have to tell my son about it, you know? Specially if you want this to continue once he takes over." he said, signing his part of the contract, noticing Nagisa's firm was already there.

"I know, but that's something for another day." she assured him, and he nodded. If she wanted it to go that way, he was no one to interfere. At least, not for now. "I've already signed my part of both contracts, you only need to sign and we'll have a deal, Haninozuka-san." she said, confident about her decision.

In the end, everything worked out pretty well, if Nagisa was to say so herself. She was glad Haninozuka-san had agreed to her demands, as she actually wanted to work with him... sort of. They wouldn't work together, but to have a contract with the head of the Haninozuka family was no minor thing. So when she encountered Honey-senpai and Mori-senpai waiting for her at the living room, she was smiling.

"Ho did it go? Did Otôu-san said something bad to you?" asked immediately Mitsukuni, standing up the second he saw her.

"It went pretty well. Your dad's pretty nice, Honey-senpai." she assured, and the senior felt taken aback with that statement. Were they talking about the same person? Probably not. He would have to talk with his father later, make sure he hadn't been abducted by aliens that left a copy of him instead recently.

"If you say so... come on, we'll take you home." Mitsukuni finally said, and the three hosts leaved the room.

The rest of the evening went pretty well. Nagisa called Karasuma-sensei to inform him of how it all went, and she sent a message to the E Class, Gakushuu and Ren to tell them she was still alive. And when she was already on her pajamas, getting ready to sleep like a rock until the next morning, she noticed something else. Honey-senpai had called her by her full name all day. The thought made her smile.

Ok, did you like this? I decided to finally put the gang together! Even if there wasn't that much interaction, they all were there. And the contract? Did you expected that? Maybe you'll think Nagisa overreacted a bit, but remember that it was her life at risk, everything could have gone so much worse. Actually, this wasn't gonna end like this, but I was in a good mood today, so I decided to give little Nagisa a rest hahahaha.

Part of Karma's mystery is out! I always thought of this Karma to be from a wealthy family, and to have connections somehow, and now you know! Tell me what you think about it.

And what do you think about Mitsukuni's move? I've been wanting this to finally happen since I came up with this story, so I'm happy I'll finally write it.

Well, that's all for now. See ya next chapter!

Patolemus.
