The next day, Yuno and Akise were discussing their plans to defeat the 11th. Neither had mentioned the almost kiss, although Akise WAS eager to address it. Yuno, on the other hand, was still confused about how she felt about Akise and chose to pretend that it had never happened.

"As he's the mayor of Sakurami City, he's bound to have tons of security members, so it could be rather hard to get to him," Akise explained. "So there's a pretty big chance we could be killed before we even find him."

"Damn..."

"We do have one advantage though. I've got some information on his diary, which is known as The Watcher. It allows him to check the entries of all of the diary holders."

"And how does that help us?"

"Just think about it. I don't have a diary, and now that Yukiteru-kun is dead, your diary is useless. Meaning he won't be able to see what we're doing in his diary."

"Oh! So... If we were to sneak in to wherever he's currently hiding out, he won't be able to use his diary to see that, making it easier for us."

"Exactly. Although it's not too much of an advantage, with all of the bodyguards and security cameras he most likely will have."

"That doesn't matter. That man is nothing without his diary. Do you know where he's staying?"

"I do."

"Then what're we waiting for? Let's go!"

"Actually... I was wondering if we would talk about something first," Akise muttered, a faint blush on his cheeks.

"About?" Yuno asked as she tilted her head.

"Yesterday on the Ferris wheel."

Yuno instantly reddened. "There's nothing to talk about."

"I tried to kiss you."

"I know."

"You didn't try to stop me."

"I know."

"Does this mean that you-"

"Shut up! We don't have time to waste. We're going to go kill the 11th! Right now!" Yuno yelled as she let some of her hair fall into her face to cover her burning cheeks.

"Alright," Akise sighed as he stood up and offered a hand to her. "But just so you know, this conversation isn't over yet."

Author Note: Sorry if this chapter was kind of short and boring. Once again I'll try to make up for it in the next couple of chapters...
