Otoya finished reading one of Shiena's manga, bored. The brunette was late, it was already 22h, and usually she came back from work at 20h. The serial killer lay on Shiena's bed and hugged her pillow.
"Where are you, Shiena-chan. I'll be mad if you don't come back soon" she thought.
Suddenly, the phone rang. Otoya hesitated to take it.
"Should I? Even if it's not my apartment? Maybe it's important…"
Otoya took the phone.
"Hi" said the serial killer. "Sorry, Kenmochi Shiena isn't there, can I take the message?"
"Hi, Takechi"
Otoya blenched. She recognized the voice, and began to be afraid.
"Hashiri-san?"
The serial killer remembered about the blonde assassin, with her scary weird tattoos.
"Yep. But I don't want to talk with Kenmochi, I calling for you" said Nio.
Otoya became more afraid.
"Why?" she asked.
"Just with your voice, I know that you're scared. Don't be, I'm not after you, in fact, I'm the one who helped you to escape from prison"
"And why you did that?"
"Well, because I'm a nice person. I have something important to say to you, Takechi"
"What?"
"Kenmochi is in a serious danger right now" answered Nio.
This made Otoya feel worried.
"Huh? What happened with Shiena-chan?"
"An assassin, one of our old classmates from Black Class, kidnaped her"
"Who did that?" asked Otoya.
"I don't know" lied Nio. "But, I know that she will kill Kenmochi if you don't go save her before midnight"
The serial killer became edgy, Shiena who can be dead was a unpleasant thought.
"Where is she?" asked Otoya.
The serial killer took a pencil and a piece of paper, and wrote the address that Nio said to her. She hang up the phone, took two pair of scissors, and get out of the apartment.
"Wake up now, Isuke is bored"
Shiena opened her eyes. She was lying on the floor. The brunette looked around her. She was in a little room. Shiena stands up, and saw Isuke in front of her, sat on a chair. The pink haired assassin looked at her, with her usual plastic smile.
"What the…Inukai!"
"It's Isuke-sama"
"I will never call you like that" said Shiena. "Why did you bring me here?"
"Isuke has a contract, with Nio"
The brunette understood. Nio probably knew that she was trying to expose Myojo Academy's secrets.
"Hashiri hired you for killing me" said Shiena, on a nervous tone.
"Well, not exactly. I didn't understood all what this annoying girl said to me, but I understand that if that serial killer of yours didn't came before midnight, I should kill you. If she comes for saving you, it's her I will kill. "
"So, either Takechi or me going to die?"
"Exactly. Isuke don't care about the one who going to die, because Isuke will have her money anyway"
Shiena headed to the door and tried to open it. Unfortunately, it was locked.
"Only Isuke can open it" said the assassin, showing the key.
The brunette didn't have the choice. If she wanted to survive, she needs to attack Isuke and take the key. Shiena approached of the pink haired assassin, and tried to hit her. Isuke smiled, and grabbed Shiena's fist. The brunette didn't have any chance against a professional assassin like Isuke.
"Isuke is pissed off now" she said, with a fake sweet smile.
The assassin twisted Shiena's arm in her back and pushed her violently against the wall.
"Listen to Isuke's advice. Nio don't want you to die before midnight, but she never said that you had to be intact. Isuke don't like seeing blood or when it's noisy, so stay calm, if you don't want to suffer uselessly"
The pink haired assassin pushed Shiena on the floor, while her cell phone rang. It was the signal of Nio.
"Look like you won't be the one dying tonight" said Isuke, before leaving the room, letting Shiena alone.
Otoya approached of an abandoned plant. She entered in it, searching for Shiena. She walked in the plant, wondering who was the assassin.
"You really came, Isuke is surprised"
The serial killer turned back.
"So, it was you, Inukai-san. Where's my Shiena?" asked Otoya, menacing.
"She would be alright, but Isuke can't say the same thing about you" said Isuke, smirked.
Otoya took her scissors, angry.
"You're better not having hurt her" she said.
"Why are you so mad, Takechi-san? You didn't want someone else than you kill Kenmochi-san?" taunted Isuke.
"I will never kill Shiena-chan, because I love her"
Isuke suddenly began to laugh.
"You love her? You must be kidding. You're a total psychopath, you can't love, it's impossible"
"Yes, it's possible" protested Otoya.
"Even if you really love her, it's probably not the case with her. She will never love you, so why do you want to save her? Just give up, and go back to your serial killer's life"
The serial killer laughed a little.
"I know that she don't love me, but I don't care. I love her, and I will do anything for keeping her with me"
"Sounds more like a psychotic obsession than love" said Isuke. "Well, it doesn't matter, because you going to die"
The pink haired girl took two knives and run to Otoya. The serial killer blocked her blades using her scissors. Isuke kicked her in her stomach, which making Otoya recoiled. With one of her knives, Isuke gashed Otoya's arm, making squirting her blood on the floor. The serial killer whimpered of pain. Even if Otoya was strong, Isuke was stronger than her. The serial killer didn't have any chance against a professional assassin trained since she was a kid. Even with her advantage, Isuke took her time before killing Otoya, like Nio asked her.
Shiena sat in the corner of the room, confused. She knew that Isuke going to kill Otoya, but she didn't know what she felt about that. Even if the serial killer did terrible things to her, the brunette didn't want her to die. If fact, she was surprised that Otoya came to save her. Shiena felt responsible of Otoya's future death. Suddenly, someone entered in the room, and it wasn't Isuke, or Otoya.
"Hashiri!" said Shiena, surprised.
The blonde assassin approached of the brunette, smirked.
"Why you did this? You're the one who freed Takechi from prison and gave my address to her" asked Shiena.
"Because you try to destroy Myojo Academy. I can't let you do that, you cause troubles to her" answered Nio.
"Her? Who?"
"The most important person in my life. This is why I freed Takechi, I wanted her to kill you, but it didn't work. So I hired Isuke-san, for killing Takechi" explained Nio.
"Why her? I'm the one you want to kill!"
"Yes, but I decided to play a game with you. You have the choice of letting Takechi get killed by Isuke-san, or save her"
"You're lying, Inukai want her money, she will not spared Takechi"
"Don't worry, I promised to Isuke-san money, even if she didn't kill anybody" said Nio.
"So, what your conditions?" asked Shiena, suspicious.
"You have two choices. The first one, if you let Isuke-san kill Takechi, I let you go and try to hack our system. But, I will try again to kill you, it's only give you a little chance to succeed" said Nio. "The second one, you save Takechi, and you stop to hack our system. If you choose this option and you still try to expose our secrets, I'll kill you in the worse way possible and I'll destroyed your group, Collective Dismissal"
The brunette thought about the two choices. If she let Takechi die, she would have a chance to destroy Myojo Academy, but she will be also in danger of death. If she saves Takechi, she would stop hacking their system, otherwise her group will be in danger.
"Choose wisely" said Nio, with her cat smile.
If she let Isuke killed Takechi, she would be ridded of this psychotic serial killer who occupied her apartment. But on the other hand, Takechi came for saving her, it would be unfair to let her die. Shiena was in an impasse, she was hesitating.
"Hurry up, before Isuke-san killed Takechi" said the blonde assassin.
The brunette finally chooses. She wasn't sure of the consequences of this choice, but she can't take the other one.
"I choose" said Shiena.
"Good, what it is?" asked Nio, taking her cellphone.
Otoya tried to stab Isuke with her scissor in her back, but the pink haired assassin grabbed her arm and punched her in the face, before hit the serial killer behind her head. Otoya fallen on the floor, unconscious.
"Isuke took her time, and Takechi can't fight. It's time to finish her"
The assassin put her hands around Otoya's neck, and began to strangle her. Suddenly, her cellphone rang.
