~Mikawa café~

"...?" Ina grunted a little as she lugged the box of supplies into the storeroom "oof! Why is this so heavy?" She frowned and grabbed some box cutters to open the box and see what could be making a measly 25 kg of coffee cups so heavy; when a rustling sound from within the box made her jump 8 cm off the ground. Soft murmuring and scratching noises echoed through the small storeroom followed by a high pitched female gasp "Eeeek! I'm stuck!"

"..." Ina's feet shot up 15.78cm off the ground and she scrabbled to the nearby shelf, using it as a shield and pointing the box cutters in front for protection. "Who's there? Show yourself!"

A muffled voice from within the box replied "Uh..um..I would, but I'm stuck!" More scrabbling sounds came from within and Ina cautiously hit the 'security' button hidden discreetly under a 'Press here in case of emergency' sticker on the wall.

"Fwaah!" Gracia burst out of the box with her arms spread out like a butterfly "Good morning!" She smiled brightly at Ina who stared back with her mouth gaping open.

"Ina? Is something the matter?" Nobuyuki stuck his head in through the doorway, glanced around the room for 5 seconds until he saw Gracia. His expression never changed. Ina only pointed silently at Gracia who was struggling to free herself from the mess of packing tape, coffee cups, bubble wrap and Styrofoam beans. "I see." Her boyfriend nodded slowly and swiftly withdrew his phone from his pocket.

"Deputy Chief Akechi?" Your daughter has been found."

"Oho! Hanbei's scored another point!" Yoshimoto cheered as Hanbei managed to score another goal making Ranmaru fall flat on his face as he dived forward to protect Kanbei's limited edition RYUMI statue from smashing to pieces.

"Wow! Amazing!" Naotora clapped her hands cheerfully and watched with interest as "I'm so glad they let us in!" When nobody replied, she looked downcast and shuffled back to the corner."..sorry.."

"...-you're wasting space. sorry. you should be.*sob*"

Kanbei watched the kemari tournament in complete silence, the veins on his head slowly growing bigger by the second. The demonic arms floating behind him were multiplying by the second and twitching madly."*smack*" A barrage of kemari balls hit him face on.

".ah!" Hanbei gasped with shock and sweat immediately started pouring down his face as he desperately thought of a strategy to escape. "...oho~" Yoshimoto quickly gathered up his kemari and tea promotional tools and fled through the cat flap with Naotora following after. "..unhg!" Due to certain space limitations imposed by her body, she couldn't fit through the catflap and apologised tearfully as she smashed open a window and made her exit. By the way, that window happened to be the one in Kanbei's office. Not that Naotora knew. "...hyeek!" Ranmaru's flight-or-fight instincts awakened and he rushed towards his Nobunaga altar and began praying for some divine intervention.

"..." A deathly silence filled the air as Hanbei grinned sheepishly and made a run for it. "*whoosh*" A demonic hand grabbed him by the collar, fished up Ranmaru and threw them far away.

"kaaaannbeeeeiii! Yoooouuu meeeeeeaaaaannnniiiiieeeeee!"

~Police Force B HQ~

"Ara! Kenshin,look a shooting star." Aya smiled at the streak of light in the brilliant blue sky with interest.

"Yes Sister." Kenshin nodded while concentrating on colouring in the outline of their latest brochure. He frowned in concentration as the mouse refused to move where he wanted it to, shaking the table to realign it and then sighed as his coffee mug fell over. Again. "Blip" He turned his phone on and dialled a contact. "It seems you were correct my Nemesis." He glared at the computer which was breathing out coffee scented smoke and small flames. "I failed to tame the beast known as the 'mouse'. You win the bet."

~Mikawa Café~

"Move it people! The one and only YASUO HAYATORI is here!" he spread his arms out like a preacher and sat down onto the VIP chair with an arrogant smirk on his face.

"Hicanihelpyou?" Stone-faced Ina spoke as politely to Yasuo as possible with a faint angry vein pulsing on her head.

Of course, an asshole like Yasuo who is also AWARE that he himself is an asshole (Yasuo: Oi! I'm not an asshole, I'm just ABOVE these lower life forms. Whatever. Asshole.) takes great satisfaction in making things harder for everyone else. Maybe it's easier to say that for him, there is an art to be an asshole on his level. *ahem* anyway, back to where we were supposed to be.

"Hmm, I'd like the Riceball Deluxe Set #5, hold the rice and only the freshest seaweed and pink rock salt thanks." Ina suppressed the urge to fuse Yasuo's face with the table and managed to crack a smile. "ofcoursepleasewaitamoment."

Ina slammed a plate of seaweed and side dishes onto the table. The marble table cracked in two pieces sending the plate flying into the air.

~x~x~x~

Seated at the table behind Yasuo and facing the window, Kiyomi spoke quietly "Magoichi Saika? Police Force A representatives present. Requesting proof of identity.

Magoichi who was currently facing Ina's chest nodded and spoke softly "I'd say C or perhaps -er wait. 'IMP69HM'

That was the agreed on exchange to prove their identities. Kiyomi stood up and walked over to Magoichi's table, sitting down right in front of him and obstructing his mission 'gaze at Ina's chest'. Somewhat annoyed, Magoichi sighed until he saw where Kiyomi was more gifted than Ina was. "Good eve-NING~!" He instantly switched to flirt mode, winked and smiled suavely at Kiyomi who remained silent.

"Good evening." Kiyomi bowed politely before slapping him directly in the face. Magoichi was sent flying to the ground with enough force to create an imprint of his body on the floor. The repair bill will obviously be charged to Yasuo who will then dump it on a new girlfriend (read: victim) to pay. Anyway...

"Bwaaah! What was that for?" Magoichi picked himself off the ground with an imprint of a hand on his cheek and slowly peeled himself off the polished tiled floor. "You don't normally behave like this to someone!"

"I apologise. I merely reacted. " was all Kiyomi had to say as she calmly withdrew her whip and stared blankly at him "Additionally, I sense you pose a threat to womenkind. " she cracked the whip loudly (causing Yukimura who was on lunch break to spill his long awaited coffee and scream in pain) and looked blankly at Magoichi who was sweating madly and trying to escape " Apologies. Mr. Saika. Please explain to me the best way of expressing my gratitude and feelings for a certain man.

"...huh?" Magoichi for once, was stunned speechless. To think that the 'expert' on love would be unable to answer something like this. "w-wait... wait..wait!" he sat back down on the chair, shifting around to find a position where he could gaze at Kiyomi and Ina and stopped. Nobuyuki quietly switched shifts with Ina and glanced meaningfully at Magoichi who stared down at the Magoichi-shaped crack in the floor instead. "a kiss of course." he nodded intently though his attention was completely on something else. Namely Noh who happened to be on her lunch break.

"kiss?" Kiyomi repeated his word and looked confused. "I understand. I shall ask Yasuo for further information. Allow me to express my gratitude to you. " Without warning, she grabbed Magoichi by the head and kissed him deeply before leaving quickly.

"...what have I done?"

~Police A HQ~

"Nagamasa." Kiyomi walked into the 3rd floor's medical office where Nagmasa Azai was working on something with a few other (generic) members. Now, right in front of the office is a long hallway, however the walls are missing (Yasuo blew them up last week) and opposite the office is the cafeteria. At the moment the cafeteria is filled with (generic) staff members who are either on lunch break, slacking off or admiring Kiyomi's new nurse outfit from the safety of the water cooler.

The kind hearted, understanding, patient medical officer within Police Force A and Oichi's devoted husband stopped what he was doing and smiled kindly at the robotic beauty of Police Force A. "Y-yes? What's the problem Miss Fujisaki?"

Kiyomi blinked back silently and bowed a perfect 90 degree bow. "Nagamasa. Regarding your assistance with the previous mission; I would like to express my gratitude to you." She blinked again and spoke calmly, methodically "Now commencing expression of gratitude."

Before Nagamasa could even blurt out "No! I'm a married man!" or even manage to process the thought of what Kiyomi was intending to do, she had grabbed his collar with her iron grip, pulled his face down to eye level and proceeded to kiss him passionately on the lips.

*splash*crash* GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH* The first passerby dropped his steaming mug of coffee onto the shirt of the person walking next to him.

"is..is..this..a...scandal?"

"No...it's an affair...*gasp*..what's going to happen to the No.1 raburabu couple?"

*click*click*SMILE!*chk-chk*

"DAAAAYUMMM, I'm jealous."

"KIYOMI-SAMA! GRAHHH! OUR GODDESS! YOU DA- *hbguuhh*"

Instead of stopping the wrong in front of them, the other members of the police force were intently watching, taking photos, whispering gossip, being jealous of Nagamasa or escorting the raging Kiyomi fanboys out of the building.

"Mmmmphhh!" Nagamasa flailed his hands uselessly, desperately trying to free himself from the hold Kiyomi had on him. Kiyomi continued what she was doing, not realising that her iron grip had caused Nagamasa's hand sewn shirt to tear, or that his shirt was now reduced to a collar around his neck and tatters flapping onto the ground.

"N-n-naga...masa?"

Everyone within the room fell silent (apart from the sounds of coffee cups falling and whispered gossip) as Oichi entered. (She had entered from the lift down the other end and saw almost the entire thing)

"*sniffle* Naga...masa...you...Fujisaki...*sob*" Tears began to stream down her face, making the important AA rank information documents in her arms wet. "uwaaaah! How could you!" Oichi sobbed and delicately used the first page of Mitsuhide's report as a tissue.

"N-no! This isn't what it looks like!" Nagamasa pushed Kiyomi away (the latter seemed unperturbed and merely straightened her revealing nurse outfit) and ran towards Oichi. The crowd parted to make way for him, everyone watching with intense excitement written over their faces.

"it is! I saw!" Oichi half sobbed half yelled and tossed the documents onto the ground. A snow of white paper swirled around her as she turned her back with anger "I...uwaaah! *sob*" she ran in the other direction towards the lift. Fortunately or unfortunately, the lift was still on Level 36 of the 40 storey building. Remember, the current location is floor 3. A lift usually takes a few seconds or miliseconds to reach its destination, which means then it sho-I don't think anyone cares. *cough* w-with all due respect...

"Ichiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!" Nagamasa dropped to his knees with his right hand outstretched towards her fleeing back "Ichiiii...NOOOOO!" His hands dropped to the ground and he raised his face to the ceiling before yelling shounen style. "WHYYYYYYYYYYY"

"Correction. That is the incorrect response. Oichi is not dead refrain from making dramatic shounen yells into a meme. " Oblivious and as emotionless as always, Kiyomi cut in and attempted to pick up the documents. "However, my gesture was not appreciated. Requesting an explanation as to why. Nagamasa?"

Tears filled Nagamasa eyes again as he crawled to the corner and began murmuring depressing things to himself. One of the more sympathetic (and more intelligent) members handed him a clean shirt.

"Oichi's still waiting for the lift if you want to catch up with her."

Nagamasa's eyes widened with the thought of hope "Thank you so much." he grasped the man's hands with gratitude and shining eyes until he heard the dreaded high pitched *DING* of the lift.

"...*sob*" The storm clouds once again gathered around Nagamasa nad began raining gently on him.


[*kzzt* We interrupt this program for a brief news update*kzzt*]

This is Kurumi Natsumura with the afternoon bulletin. Shocking news! A freak storm cloud has appeared within the 3rd floor of Police Force A's headquarters! Why does it only appear in that one area? What is the reason for this? *gasp* Could it be...a sign that something bad is going on? a threat to the peace? Mr. Takeda has lost his mask? *gasp*Or maybe...the No.1 rabu rabu couple have broken up due to a mutual disagreement for both parties and no sign of reconciliation. Ah! I can see the headlines! Number one couple split due to misunderstandings. boring. True love? is it real? My! that sounds more like a teen girl's novel. Mmm, "breaking!Trouble within Police Force A? A scandal? an affair? who cheated first? *cough cough* excuse me. *ahem* Teehee, no way that can be true. My! I've certainly deviated from the topic have i? Eeek! My glasses! *ahem* Until next time! This has been Kurumi Natsumura of CBR news!

[*kzzzt* End news broadcast*kzzt* now switching back to normal channels]


~Somewhere, sometime~

"Ah, um. god?" The well-dressed man looked nervously at his superior who was on the verge of tears while gazing at one of the multiple monitors in her room. "*ahem* god?"

"*sniffles* " "Hmm? What?" she raised an eyebrow and looked dismissively at him "I should let you know I'm in the midst of making a very difficult decision. An incredibly heart aching decision no less."

"It makes me happy to hear you are feeling sympathy for Oichi and Nagamasa." The man smiled proudly and wiped a tear away from his eye.

"*pfft* No. What made you think that?" His superior scoffed and waved a hand lazily and stared with intense concentration at the 2nd monitor and then back at the 3rd monitor. "I'm trying to decide which route I should follow. Should I go for the ikemen tsundere or the ikemen yandere? hmmm...ah!"

A floating notification appeared on the furthest left monitor and the atmosphere in the room changed. "how..did I not realise...what a pain.." Facing an unknown audience, the girl rushed to her desk (the one with the 'bow down to me nameplate' and smiled cheerfully.

"Oh. Right~ You probably have no idea what's going on, henceforth *cough* I don't think that's the correct usage of the term-guh! –shut up.it sounds cool.-I understand –good. I'll just rewind time and it'll be self-explanatory that way-but that's abusing your godly pow-guh! where was I? Ah yes, you'll figure out the reason and history behind the recent events. Now, let me game in peace.


[3 days ago]

"Muahaha, you two will be working with Auki Samida for the next assignment." Nobunaga smirked and carefully polished the XM-25 launcher in his hands. Why he was calmly carrying a high powered rocket launcher is unknown.

"Understood." Kiyomi bowed a perfect 90 degree and collected the paperwork. On the front page was a photo of a serious young woman with a long brown ponytail and glasses."..."

"Threat detected..." Kiyomi snapped to attention and pulled out an arsenal of weapons from out of nowhere as the young woman in the photo stepped out from the opposite office. *clack* the briefcase in her hands dropped to the floor as she noticed Kiyomi.

"Augh! Why do I have to work with you two?" Auki Samida, one of Police Force A's only proper workers and one of the few with common sense (its actually not that common) jabbed a finger at Kiyomi and Yasuo with a look of horror on her face. "Chief! I told you!Working with these two...pests will cause problems!"

"*sigh* Look, I'm not the one with a problem." Yasuo smirked at her and blew gently on his coffee "You're the one who has a problem... with me. Huh!"

"..."Auki's eyebrow twitched slightly but her eyes were glued to the cup of steaming hot coffee. Kiyomi walked up to her and blinked emotionlessly "I fail to comprehend your inability to cooperate for the sake of the assignment. However, I understand that you presence is a hindrance to Master."

"Just...what...are..you...wearing..." Auki practically hissed with anger as she glared at Kiyomi; who was wearing a short and very revealing nurse's outfit. ".. Wearing clothing like that...have you no sense of decency?" *click* she coolly withdrew a P-99 from within her trench coat and pointed it at Kiyomi. "I'm SICK of it!" *BANG* she opened fire without any hesitation at a blank Kiyomi who merely moved slightly out of the bullet's paths."I find no issues with my clothing. Yasuo? Is there an issue?"

"Haha! So the lower life-form decides to challenge it's patheticness. Well," he paused and gave Auki a pitiful glance before waving his hand at her "No need to be so jealous of Kiyomi's good looks. I mean, you are pretty lacking." He cupped his hands near his chest mimicking Kiyomi's assets and pointed to Auki before placing his hands flat against his chest. "Flat as a board I say."

"...patheticness isn't a word ANYWAY!" The already angry Auki's anger levels rose to the point she exploded. "Grah!" She grabbed Nobunaga's XM-25 rocket launcher and pointed it at Kiyomi who stared back at it unblinkingly before widening her eyes in alarm." Threat 20% success. Retreat 74% success. Defeat 58% success. Kiyomi will now retreat. Yasuo. Requesting your assistance."

"Maan, stop trying to kill little Kiyomi each time you see her. Geez!" he smirked and shook his head as he began to pull out a machine gun "No need to take your jealousy out on others!"

"SHUT IT!" A few shots were fired as Yasuo laughed sadistically. Nobunaga calmly ducked and dodged approaching bullets while continuing to polish another gun. Several screams were heard from surrounding rooms where innocent furniture were hit.

~ 2 hours later~

"Have fun~" No cooed teasingly as she calmly filed her nails and giggled as the group; a fuming Auki, a slightly confused Kiyomi and a dismissive Yasuo walked out. The other generic staff who were responsible for the cleanup glared angrily at the trio.

"I'll begin the briefing." Auki snatched the papers and flipped through quickly " We've received a tip-off that the professional chef Date Masamune has arranged to meet with members of Toyotomi-kai in Sekuhara Warehouse for a weapons trade." [*smack* how could you? What if someone googles it? w-w-well it's T!]

Yasuo chuckled as he texted a few girlfriends on 3 different phones and Kiyomi calmly stood with her hands held out acting as a table for Yasuo's phones.

"..." An anger vein throbbed on Auki's head as she frowned and continued "Our task is to wait until the trade happens, confiscate the weapons and arrest the criminals. Of course, our undercover agent Ishida Mitsunari should be providing us with updated intel later on. We'll begin now. huh?"

She looked up from the document to see a Gold Star taxi drive past slowly outside the glass wall of Police Force A HQ. The window slowly rolled down as Yasuo waved mockingly, saluted and sped off. "Damn you Hayatori. I'll show you what being a member of the police force really means."

~HanKanRan Information Brokers~

"Tsuki! here! some tea!" Hanbei cheerfully placed a tray on which 5 teacups were neatly arranged onto the small table in front of Tsukiko. "ah! it looks so pretty!" The popular female idol giggled and admired both the teacups and Hanbei. "Where did you get them from Hanbei?"

Hanbei froze and cautiously glanced at the tall male standing in the kitchen who was in the middle of finely slicing the cabbage for dinner. The man in question, Kanbei remained silently chopping the cabbage and ensuring that each piece was fiber thin. "I got them from Imagawa! hehehe he came by this morning and Naotora was so nice I just couldn't say no!"

*SLAM* The chopping board was sliced in two as Kanbei placed the knife down with the gravity of an assassin laying down his gun after a kill. "Hanbei." He spoke slowly as Hanbei and Tsukiko turned slowly towards him "Stop feeding the clown."

"Aww, don't be such a killjoy Kanbei!" Hanbei giggled and helped himself to some tea "here have some! The teacups were a great bonus as well!"

"i-it tastes really good!" Tsukiko attempted to lighten the mood and nervously drank some tea while Kanbei deadpanned at them.

"Hanbei! The 50 kemari ball set you bought has arrived! its at-" Ranmaru rushed into the kitchen-dining hall combo room and skidded to a stop right in front of Kanbei. "I'm sorry!" he bowed down and quietly backed out the room, shutting the door gently as he exited.

"..." Kanbei remained silent and stared straight ahead. Hanbei giggled nervously and grabbed Tsukiko by the wrist. "Shall we go collect the kemari set Tsuki?" Tsukiko just nodded and allowed herself to be tugged along by an overexcited Hanbei. "can I come too?" Ranmaru peeked out from behind the back and joined the group on their important retrieval mission.

~Sekuhara Warehouse~

Hanahime Saika sat on a milk crate in the middle of an intense stare-off with Kurokasa Kurenai. "I don't get why you're here. Just step out of my way and leave." She tapped her Ak-47 frantically on her right arm and raised it up to show she meant business.

"Shut up! I'm here under orders from Masamune! now get outta my way!" Kurenai crossed her arms and tapped her foot impatiently on the cold concrete ground. "Now..get out before I count to 1. FIVE! FOUR! THREE! TW-"

"Be in awe of my godly presence! Bow down before me! Hayatori Yasuo is here!" A certain arrogant bounty hunter and currently in debt temporary member of Police Force A slammed down the metal doors of the warehouse and stomped inside. "Arghh! You! I hate you! You.." Kurenai broke her stareoff with Hanahime and aimed a ferocious glare at Yasuo.

"I know! I know! You hate me because I broke your heart. Perfectly understandable!" Yasuo spoke dismissively as he strode confidently past Kurenai and stared at the neatly stacked crate at the back with interest. "I'm really, really sorry I was born with such good looks, skills, intelligence and everything required to be a god! truly, nobody is capable of understanding the burden of being so perfect!" he sighed and shook his head sorrowfully and dramatically. "It's so sad, is it not, Kiyomi?"

"Affirmative." Kiyomi replied almost automatically and opened the heavy 50kg briefcase she had been effortlessly carrying.

"..." Hanahime opened and closed the safety on her gun.

"..." Kurenai's anger timer began ticking. [10 more seconds until limit is breached]

"..." Kiyomi calmly stared at everything with a blank look on her face."Master. Suggestion. Best course of action right now is to follow Auki Samida's instructions." She nodded once and moved to the back of the warehouse and hid herself behind a stack of random machinery.

"Huh! I was going to do that anyway!" With a flick of his head, Yasuo walked over and hid next to Kiyomi who remained silently watching Hanahime and Kurenai continue their stare-off.

"Come~into~ the darkness~"

Music suddenly blared from Hanahime's Police issued phone inside her pocket. "*blip* Yes?" She grabbed it and answered, never once taking her eyes off Kurenai. "Fine! ok!but I can shoot as much as I want right?...YES!" Her eyes gleamed dangerously as she pumped a few shots into the air and grinned. "HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Sparks flew everywhere as Hanahime ran happily around the warehouse firing away with a dazed smile on her face. Never give a trigger happy person a machine gun.

"Mitsunari. You there?" Auki sighed as she again tried to contact Mitsunari Ishida. aka the undercover police detective who had infiltrated Toyotomi-kai as one of their top ranked officers. aka her rival. aka her 'real' partner for most missions. "Cheh. Fine. I'll be meeting you soon. Make sure you don't mess anything up. Though I shouldn't have you tell you that. Good luck."

She hung up instantly and crept around to the back where Kiyomi had managed to shove Hanahime into a crate and tie up Kurenai. "..."

~X~X~X~

A parade of shiny black cars surrounded the warehouse and members of Toyotomi-kai slowly stepped out. Kiyomasa, Masanori, Mitsunari and a few grunts calmly walked into the warehouse, pausing once to adjust their sunglasses and straighten out their sleek black suits. Even yakuza guys need to look classy.

"Alright. You all know what to do right? We'll meet up with Masamune's assistant, Kurenai and collect the items." Kiyomasa looked around at the group and stopped at Masanori who was frowning with confusion "Heh? Don't we just get in there and beat everyone up?"

"Idiot." Mitsunari scoffed and crossed his arms "There's no way we'd get into a fight. The police won't show up as well. I've taken precautionary measures."" He gace a smug look "I'm heading in first."

When the group reached 20m in the 150m long warehouse, they became aware something was off. Random bullet holes were peppered all over the place and Kurenai was nowhere to be seen. "Just look for a red girl." was all that Kojuro, Masamune's right hand man had written on the memo.

There was no red girl in sight. Only a strange group of people. A busty woman, an arrogant looking man and an extremely exasperated looking young woman. "...Hey!" The young woman whirled around to face them, her trench coat twirling around as she moved and jabbed a finger at Kiyomasa "Stop right there! You're all under arrest for possession of illegal weapons and criminal activities!"

There was a short moment of silence which was interrupted by the sound of the back door opening. Since it was a very rusty door, everyone winced and held their ears in pain as Hanbei scrawled through the gap.

"Ah? Wow! SO much people! Are you all here to collect the 50 kemari collections too?" He grinned innocently and examined the crates at the back. "aha! Found it! yay~" he held onto Tsukiko's hands and danced happily while she blushed and giggled bashfully "Ok! Let's bring it back home! Hopefully Kanbei's calmed down! hehe!" They were off, skippinh away as quickly as possible while lugging a large crate behind them."w-wait! Hanbei!" Ranmaru scrabbled awkwardly in, mumbled an apology for disrupting an important looking meeting before running off.

"What are you waiting for? RUN!" Kiyomasa yelled loudly, giving Masanori a thwack on the head as he stood staring with his mouth wide open. "This way."Mitsunari pointed to another exit and prepared to leave but was stopped by Auki. "Mitsunari.." Auki glared at him, her face looked like she had sucked on a lemon. "I can't believe you've stooped so low..."

"Hmph." Mitsunari tossed her arm away and scoffed "I've realised one thing while working on this assignment. Toyotomi-kai is the only place that acknowledges my talents and allows me to really live. working in the police force was nowhere near as fun as now."

"..." Auki stared back at him, her mouth opening and closing in shock. "B-but...what about.." Mitsunari only scowled and pulled out a gun "Goodbye Auki."

"**beep*beep*beep*beep*" A large truck with 'AISU-CREAM' printed on the side suddenly barrelled through the warehouse, blocking Police Force A members and Toyotomi-kai members.

"Is everyone alright? Did I come at a bad time?" Nagamasa rushed out of the truck and looked at the somewhat stunned (except Kiyomi who was blank as usual) group. "Ah, Miss Fujisaki! I brought the limited edition Motochika poster you couldn't get because of your assignmen-"

Kiyomi had charged forward and grabbed the poster before he was done. "Nagamasa. My current vocabulary is inadequate to express my gratitude." She knelt down on one knee (giving him an unwanted view of her chest) and nodded "Yes. I shall endeavour to properly convey my appreciation."

"N-no. It's alright..."Nagamasa blushed and backed away "Y-you don't need to Miss Fujisaki." Ichi might get the wrong idea again...


[PRESENT TIME]

"*pwhoo*"
A handsome and somewhat scary looking young man extinguished his cigarette onto the provided ashtray and stretched leisurely. "Awwright.I should be going now." Readjusting the pale blue surgical mask around his face and whistling the chorus of 'Theatrical Blue Black' to himself as he helped an old woman cross the road, he stopped at the shiny glass doors of Police Force A HQ, stepped casually through the reception area and into the main office area where a few familiar faces were. this sentence is too long right? silence. sorry... "wonder how Oichi and Nagamasa are doing..hm?"

~right at that moment~

"*sob*sob* Ichi.." Nagamasa stared longingly at his 'Ichi and Nagamasa 4eva luv' hand-knitted jumper and broke down crying again.

"...hahaha." No chuckled as she reapplied nail polish to her fingers.

~x~x~

"Nene. I'm staying with you for a while, is that alright?" Oichi spoke softly to her friend and stared with interest at the bottles of alcohol lined around the kitchen "Sure thing! Stay as long as you like!" Nene chirped happily and placed another plate of food on the table "I've been so lonely lately. B-because everyone's been ~" *gasp* I almost reminded her of Nagamasa.

~Police Force A HQ~

"-because I am the only one who can comprehend the greatness of my actions!" The generic subordinate nodded sadly and slunk off . "hmph!" Yasuo flicked his hair back and sighed again. The mysterious stranger grinned and clapped a hand on Yasuo's shoulder.

"...!" Yasuo turned around and spun back in surprise. "...agh!" His facial expression instantly changed to one of extreme horror, as though he had been forcefully reunited with the one guy from his childhood who always beat him at everything. The guy who was your best friend, rival and enemy. The kind of guy who knows all your weaknesses, but seems to have none. The guy who is popular with everyone, got that job you would have died for and every single girl you had a crush on fell in love with him. You know, that guy.

"Hey. Been awhile, hasn't it? Kaoru Tsukasa." The mysterious guy-who-seems-like-the-guy-everyone-may-or-may-not-be-waiting-for-to-appear waved cheerfully and laughed. "ah! Actually, you changed your name right? My bad~"

"...guh..." spluttered Yasuo as his facial colour shifted through 50 shades of *censored* on his face and pulled down his cheeks as he screamed in terror.

"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Somewhere behind the jungle of potted plants and overgrown vines, a camera clicked softly and a pair of shining glasses glinted before falling onto the ground.


[Notice: Database has now been updated]

Yasuo Hayatori: Apparently his real name has been revealed to be 'Kaoru Tsukasa' *pfft* how girly!

Mysterious man: What more to say? More should be revealed soon. Don't hold your breath though.
