Aiwa: Hello again! I think it's time for Chapter 4..?

Rin: Why are you so unsure?

Aiwa: I don't keep track of how many chapters I have.

Rin: ...Speaking of Chapters...how many chapters will there be in total?

Aiwa:...mmm..12 or less... maybe 8.

Rin: Not enough*Pouts*

Aiwa: But don't worry, there will be some afterstories!

Rin: Like what?

Aiwa:..Well...some rated M stuff between you and Kid... *Plays With Fingers*

Rin:Rated M? What's that?

Aiwa: You'll see when you're older.

RIN POV:

Lord Death had called us to his office. Thinking I had done something wrong, I timidly walked with Kid to the room, trailing right behind him.

"Heya, Kiddo-kun!" He waved a big comical hand to Kid, who's facial expression had not changed. He still looked kind of scary to me, so I hid behind Kid and clung to his jacket. Kid looked at me, confused.

"Hey there, Mandorin-san!" Lord Death's voice sounded quite sincere, so I stepped from behind Kid.

"H-hello..." I managed to say.

"Hey,hey, there's no need to be afraid of me!" He placed a cartoon-like hand on my head and ruffled my hair, just like Father used to. A tiny smile formed on my face. I felt like a little kid being spoiled.

"Father, is there a reason to why you called us here?" Kid cut it short.

"Why yes," Lord Death pat my head one last time. "I believe it is time for Rin to go on her first mission."

"Mission...?" I asked.

"In short, you and Kid will go to collect a Kishin egg together." The description sounded quite scary, and to be honest, I was terrified.

"That's it?" Kid's voice sounded a bit irritated.

"Yep" Lord Death answered in a terse reply. Kid facepalmed. As we walked out, Lord Death said, "Bring me back a picture!"

"Your father's really nice," I told Kid. He simply nodded in response.

"Kid...you love your father, don't you?"

"Well...I guess I do. He can be quite funny, I have to admit...B-but don't tell him I said that!"

"Why not...? I tell my father I love him. Why don't you?"

"I-it's pretty embarrassing..." Kid managed to find an excuse.

"Well, I'm sure that he'd love to hear those words from you one day..."

During one of our passing periods, Kid, Liz, Patti, and I walked over to the mission board.

"Let's pick out simple. You're just a beginner." We narrowed our choices to the easiest ones.

"Oo! How about this one!" Patti pointed to a poster that had a giraffe on it. According to the poster, a killer giraffe had been on the loose for a few weeks and had been eating the heads of several humans. I trembled at the thought of it.

"No," Kid answered. "That's sick and nauseating." Patti sighed, but quickly went back to cheerfully looking at posters.

"H-how about this one...?" I had found one that had taken my interest. It was a poster about a cute little bunny. I didn't see how a bunny could be dangerous, but I was pretty sure it'd be easy to take down.

"Hmm... seems reasonable..."

"Huh?"

"...Only someone like you would pick out something like this."

I didn't understand what Kid meant.

"What do you mean?"

"N-nothing...anyway, it's decided. We'll head out this weekend."

"Yay! Bunny mission, bunny mission!" Although Patti was a little upset about hers not being picked, I guess she also liked the bunny mission.

That Saturday, we head out to where the poster had directed. We arrived in a neighboring city and wandered around for a bit.

"How are we supposed to found one little bunny in a big ol' city?!" Liz huffed.

Suddenly, L and R popped in front of my face.

"Rin! We can sense something!"

"Hmm? Where?"

"Follow us!" They cried as they flew down the street. We ran after them.

"W-where are they going?!" Kid managed to say while running beside me.

"I don't know, but we should follow them." After a good five minutes, L and R stopped at a back alley. Sitting in the shaded area of the alley was a small white bunny.

"Awww!" Liz cooed. She stepped up to pet it.

"Liz! Get away!" Kid warned her. Just before she touched it, the bunny snapped at her. Liz immediately pulled back her hand, afraid she might be bitten. Suddenly, the bunny began to grow.

"Uh oh!" Patti cried. " 's mad!" The eyes grew red and they bunny grew as big as a human. The claws sharpened, and they mutated rabbit swung at as. We all jumped back.

"What should we do?!" Liz cried, hiding behind Kid.

"We can handle this." L and R transformed into thin halos and laid in my hands. I grasped them. This was my first mission, so I needed to take care of this by myself.

"Yeah, let's go!"

KID POV:

Rin lept into the air. She threw one of her thin halos at the beast. The cut was so clean, I couldn't pinpoint exactly where she cut it. While in midair, the giant rabbit slashed at her. She dodged, doing a flip. Before she landed, L and R turned into skates. Rin skated away from the rabbit, but then turned back around and zoomed at full speed. She jumped and slashed the animal in the face. Right before she kicked him, the wheels turned into blades. She landed, and when she touched the ground, the invisible cuts on the monster suddenly became large scars. I was shocked. Who would've imagined such an innocent girl was capable of violence!

"Let's finish him off! Soul Resonance!" My eyes grew wide. How did she know how to resonate souls?! Her thin matching halos glowed like multicolored magma and instantly grew. Once the glowing stopped, I could see that the small thin halos had turned into large rings of thorns. Rin jumped and launched the new weapons at the beast, which resulted in her extended arms overlapping.

"Crown of Thorns!"

All at once, Rin landed, and the bunny turned into mist and disappeared. A soul was gently floating in the spot the rabbit once was.

"Eh? Where'd the bunny go?!" Rin looked around, confused.

" 's right here." We turned around to see Patti holding the bunny, practically squeezing the life out of the poor thing.

"I guess he was probably possessed." I inferred.

"Oh! He's so cute!" Liz said, finally being able to pet him. "Can we keep him?!"

I crossed my arms and thrust my chin upwards. "Definitely not" I was not about to have some filthy animal in my house. We already had one (Patti).

"Aww!Please?!" Patti joined in.

"I said no!"

"Fine, meanie..." Patti pouted and put the rabbit down. The rabbit twitched its nose, then slowly hopped over to Rin. She leaned down to pet it. The bunny closed its eyes in satisfaction. Rin giggled and picked up the bunny, caressing it gently.

"It's like he's saying thank you!" She giggled again. I silently took in Rin's laughter. It was light and airy. It felt very relaxing. I closed my eyes and pondered for a bit.

"I guess we can keep it..." Liz and Patti stared at me.

"Does this have to do with you liking Rin...?"

"W-wha...!? N-no!" I panicked. Rin, innocent as always, tilted her head.

"Hmm?"

"N-nothing...ahahaha..." I laughed awkwardly.

"Oh well... I guess we're taking you home, huh, ?" The rabbit nuzzled against her nose, and she let out another happy giggle.

"Oh yeah! We have to take a picture!" L and R shouted, taking out a camera. I wondered where they kept that thing until now.

"Did you really think Father was serious about that...?"

"Yep!" We took a picture together, including the soul and the bunny. Because L and R did not consume souls, Rin gave it to Liz and Patti, which I let Patti have, in order to make the number even. Even souls have to be symmetrical, you know.

The next day, I arrived at Father's office by myself.

"Here's the picture you wanted." I turned my head and handed it to him.

"Oh, you look as handsome as ever!" Father complimented me. I blushed.

"Anyway, that was all I came to do. I'm going back to class now.

LORD DEATH POV:

I looked at the picture a little while longer. Then, I flipped it over.

Love you, Father

-Kid

Aiwa: Aww...he finally told his daddy he loved him! *Squeals Like A Fangirl*

Rin: And I got a bunny!

Aiwa: You know, having a pet is a big responsibility.

Rin: It is...?

Aiwa: Yeah...In fact, did you put the bunny in the cage?

Rin: No...we don't have a cage for him yet.

Aiwa: Then what do you think he's doing right now...?

Rin:...NOOOOOOO! *Runs To Her Room*
