Hitsugi's POV

If you only had one wish...

"Roll Call."

A voice and two knocks emitted from outside our door. Together Chitaru and I approached the door and opened it. Standing across from us was...Kaminaga Kouko, was it? She took a good look at both of us, and marked us down on the folder she carried in her hands.

"Attendee number nine, Namatame Chitaru and Attendee number four, Kirigaya Hitsugi are present." She muttered out loud. A small bow and a 'Thank you' followed after.

"Please do not forget the orientation tonight in room 1908."

Kouko continued walking down the hall to check the rest of attendance. Chitaru closed the door shut and turned back to me.

"I think we still have a little time left before the meeting starts. What do you think we should do from now till then?" She inquired to me. I gave a hum of thought, before saying anything.

"Actually, I was thinking to tour around the school grounds a little bit, but..."

"But?"

"A-ah, seeing that my, um, sense of direction and all is not very good..." I started to shuffle my feet around nervously and look to the floor slightly embarrassed.

"It was not exactly an option for me by myself..."

Chitaru looked down at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, we can do that now can't we? Let's go! Don't worry, I'll make sure you don't get lost, alright?"

"Wh-wha...? Are you sure it's alri-!"

Before I could have said anything else she eagerly but gently took my hand and walked us out the door together.

"Was there anyplace in particular you had in mind, Kirigaya?"

"Not...exactly. Myoujo is very big isn't it? I'm sure there are many interesting things to see around here."

A lot of things to see indeed...

And a lot of places to get lost in.

We continued to walk down the hall until we passed a window where the light could be clearly seen shining through. It was strange, the emotions within me just clicked, and I knew what should be done.

"Chitaru-san, since the sun is setting, perhaps we could go to the roof?"

She looked back at me with her scarlet red eyes, as if the same emotion had clicked within her, and nodded.

"Of course."

By the time we reached the rooftop, the sun was already nearly touching the horizon. It was at a point where the orange ball of light could be easily seen without being so harsh on the eyes. Chitaru and I stood next to each other, with my hand in hers. A gentle warm breeze could be felt sweeping across the rooftop.

"The world can be so beautiful sometimes." Chitaru commented.

"Yes, you're right..." I replied softly.

"...But at the same time the world can be so cruel." I added, tightening my grip on my bear.

"Kirigaya?"

It was true. It's not like the world is so forgiving one hundred percent of the time.

"Ah, Sorry, Chitaru-san. Sometimes I say things without thinking." I hug my bear even tighter as the words come out of my mouth. The star was now barely visible, silently creeping under the horizon. Grey took over of what used to be blue of the sky.

"Chitaru-san, I think it's best if we start heading to the orientation. It wouldn't do if we were late."

"Mm. You're right. Let's go, Kirigaya."

The walk to the classroom was a silent one. Fatigue had started to wash over me, and frequent yawns had started to invade.

"Kirigaya!" Chitaru said.

"Eh?"

"We're here. Are you alright? Are you sleepy?"

"A-ah, I'm sorry, Chitaru-san. I'm fine."

"Room 4, you're late!" Nio exclaimed.

"We're about to start, so please pay attention!"

I quietly scanned the room to take note of who was here and who was not. Banba, Suzu, and Kouko stood at the right side of the room. Isuke, Haruki, Shiena and Otoya took place in the middle, while we stood at the left. There was another girl with sandy blondish looking hair sat in rather plush looking chair. The only one who was not present was Azuma Tokaku.

"Yes, before we get started though, let me introduce student number eleven, Hanabusa Sumireko. So! Welcome, Myoujo Acadamy's assasssins. I am Hashiri Nio, Kurogumi's arbitrator. Orders are passed from the Chairman to me. I'm sure you've all noticed who our target is, but in case you haven't-!" Nio pressed her tablet screen and a picture of Haru showed up on the windows of what used to show very elegant stars.

"Now, will any of you be able to defeat Haru-chan? Or will she successfully graduate from Kurogumi? Reports should be given orally, and not written on paper, thank you! Onto the rules! Rule number one! The one to successfully assassinate the target will be given anything they desire as a reward! Rule number two! You cannot get anyone outside of Kurogumi involved! And last but not least, Rule number three! If you do not eliminate the target within fourty-eight hours of sending out your advance notice, or violate rule number two, you will be disqualified and expelled immediately!"

"Ah, so we won't be able to involve Mizorogi-chan, won't we?" Haruki said.

"You are correct. If you involve our teach, you will also be out! He is one hundred percent innocent." Nio answered.

"It looks like Azuma didn't show up..." Chitaru said.

"I've already contacted Azuma. The rest is up to her." Kouko responded.

"I am going to hand each of you your notice now. Use them wisely! Once you issue your notice, you cannot take it back!"

"W-wait!" I interrupted. Something didn't sit right with me.

"I have a question. Is there even a possibility of failing to assassinate Ichinose-san? I don't see how that is possible."

Nio gave a knowing smirk, showing surprisingly sharp teeth.

"Naive, aren't ya. Ichinose is the type to do anything to survive. It won't be as easy as you think, she's not just going to fall into simple traps."

Her response was a little startling to me. It must have been because I was so tired.

"I see..."

Chitaru noticed and bent down towards my ear.

"Are you alright?" She asked.

"Yes, Chitaru-san."

Nio cheerfully started to hand out envelopes with our notices inside. Each of us took one, until there was the last one left. Azuma's. A hand reached out from behind Nio and snatched the letter right out.

"I won't need this." She monotonously said.

"...Probably." Tokaku added. To everyone's surprise, she proceeded to rip the envelope into shreds as she stared intently. Carelessly dropping the remains onto the floor, she looked back at us.

"I won't let anyone touch Ichinose."

We reached our dorm after the events of the orientation. Hmph. It seems that there's another pestering obstacle in my way of taking down Haru. That being said, what would I even ask for when I manage to kill her? I guess I'll just give my wish to Datura. I'm only here because I thought it sounded interesting anyways. I sprawled out onto the beds, going over everything. However, my eyelids grew much too heavy to go far. I finally lost consciousness.
