The next morning Hinamori pondered what the girl had meant about seeing each other again. There was a knock at the door. "Come in," Hinamori said, glancing at the looming pile of paperwork before her. The door slid open, revealing the blonde girl from the night before.

"M...m...Medusa!" Hinamori exclaimed. She was confused but knew to stay quiet when Medusa sent her a death glare. Then Medusa turned all innocent, flipping her blonde hair behind her shoulder and giving a sweet smile to Hinamori.

"I've come to apply for the 5th squad," she said.

"Apply? What?" Hinamori asked.

Medusa clicked her tongue in fake sympathy and said, "It's Trainee Choosing Day. I suppose you've gotten extra paperwork." Medusa glanced at the tower of papers Hinamori was standing by.

"Yes," Hinamori sheepishly said. "What position?"

"This should be my paper," Medusa said, passing Hinamori a piece of paper.

Hinamori glanced at and and one word hit her. Captain. "Captain," Hinamori said faintly, falling back into her chair.

Medusa smiled again and said, "If you wouldn't mind."

"Maybe this is for the higher-ups," Hinamori said, standing up.

"No!" Medusa said harshly grabbing onto Hinamori's wrist and squeezing hard. "You will not tell anyone about this. You will say that I'm your cousin, and you reccomend me. If you don't I'll--" Medusa made a strangled noise and pretended to cut her throat.

Wrist throbbing and frightened, Hinamori nodded her agreement.

"Good," Medusa said, smiling. "You can go now."

Slowly, Hinamori trudged out of her office with Medusa following behind her.
