Sorry for my late, someone convinced me to watch Game of Thrones. I was busy finishing all the 5 seasons in one week. But I'm back, please enjoy this late chapter!

Shiena was typing on the keyboard, sitting in front of her computer. She was doing her usual job, finding the people who tried to hack Myojo's network. A lot of hackers tried recently, the brunette had to create a new protection system for the network.

She was working for Myojo since more than three years. It's been more than three years since the last time she saw Otoya. Shiena didn't speak or touched her girlfriend since more than three years. The brunette was now twenty years old. The first time she met Otoya, she was fifteen. She began to date her when she was sixteen and she didn't see the girl she loved since she was seventeen years old.

Shiena put her hand in front of her mouth and stifled a yawn. She was terribly tired, the brunette didn't sleep much last night. With all those work, she couldn't rest.

"You look tired, how about a coffee?" asked a feminine voice.

The brunette turned her head and saw Yukina, a cup of coffee in her hand. The assassin put the cup on Shiena's desk.

"Thanks." Shiena replied, before taking the cup of coffee.

"Are you done with your work?" Yukina asked.

"Almost, I should have finish today."

They both became quiet. The brunette noticed that her friend seemed to hesitate, like she wanted to say something.

"Did you watch the news recently?" Yukina finally asked.

"No, I didn't even watch TV since a while, I was too busy working." Shiena answered. "Why? Did something happen recently?"

Yukina stay silent for a moment, still hesitating to continue.

"Well, it's…" the assassin began to say.

"Yukina-san, why are you still here? Aren't you supposed to prepare for your mission tomorrow?"

Nio was in the room, gazing the assassin. Yukina recoiled a little bit.

"Sorry, Hashiri-san. I'll go now, bye Shiena-san."

Yukina seemed frightened by Nio's presence. She finally left the room, leaving Nio and Shiena alone. The brunette was quite calm, a little bit frustrated that Nio's arrival stopped Yukina to tell her what she learned from the news. The brunette took the cup of coffee and began to drink it.

"When you'll have finish, come to my office." Nio said.

"You don't have an office…"

"Come to the chairwoman's office, which is my office for the moment."

Meichi was absent for few weeks, Nio was the one who substituted her temporarily.

"I'm almost done, I'll go see you right after." Shiena promised.

"Good."

Nio left the room, while Shiena finished her coffee and went back to work.

Shiena began to slowly walk toward the chairwoman's office, a little bit fearful. She didn't know why Nio wanted to see her, the brunette was worried about her intentions. When Shiena was near the office, she was surprised to see the blond assassin in front of the office's door. Nio seemed to wait for her outside for an unknown reason.

"There you are, you took your time. I thought you had almost finished your work…" Nio complained.

"You know that hacking take couple of days? When I have only few hours before finishing, then yes it's almost done." Shiena relied.

Nio didn't say something back, she only showed her usual grin, before begin to walk away.

"Come with me, I'll walk you to the exit." the blond assassin simply said.

Shiena hesitated a little. She thought she was about to have a talk with Nio in the chairwoman's office, but it isn't the case. Why did she want to go with her at the academy's exit? Since she didn't think Nio could hurt her, the brunette decided to follow her. They both entered into the elevator, going to the first floor.

"Do you find your outfit appropriate to work?" Nio suddenly asked to the brunette.

Shiena was wearing a black and orange sweatsuit over a white shirt with a brown tie and her hair was tied in a fluffy ponytail.

"Hey, I do an effort. I wear a shirt with a tie and I tied my hair." the brunette protested.

"You look like a gym teacher who tried to be somehow elegant." Nio said. "You work as a computer scientist, try at least to look like one."

"To be exact, I'm a hacker, it's an illegal job. If I don't look like one, I'll be less suspicious. And I work alone in a room, who care about how I look like…"

"You wouldn't say that if Takechi-san was still living with you. Is it why you don't care about your appearance, because your girlfriend isn't there to see you?"

Shiena ignored Nio's remark. It was true that the brunette was scruffy since she was separated from Otoya, especially since she finished school. Shiena didn't find any reason to care about own she looks now, since the majority of time she was alone or with people she didn't care enough to be tidy.

"You don't want to talk with me just because of my outfit. Well, I suppose, I hope so." Shiena said.

"You're right, that's not the only thing I want to tell you." Nio admitted. "Since the last three years, you were loyal to Myojo, to the chairwoman. You don't even have to wear the bracelet GPS anymore since few months. You'll have a break for couple of days, starting tomorrow."

Shiena listened the blond assassin, surprised and confused. Except for the weekends, the brunette never had a break from work.

"You mean…I'll have vacation? For how long?" Shiena asked, incredulous.

"One week."

"Why suddenly I can have a break?"

"It's a reward for your good work."

The elevator's door suddenly opened.

"Be sure to enjoy your break, Kenmochi-san."

Nio showed her usual cat smile, like when she was hiding something. Shiena left the elevator, while she didn't know how to react to her current and unpredictable situation.

The first thing Shiena do when she go back to her room was to take a shower. The brunette went to the bathroom and removed her cloths, before putting them in the washer. She put her pajama on the dryer, beside her glasses. She went in the shower, under the tepid water.

"What could I do in my vacation? Nothing, I'm used to work, I don't know how to enjoy my free time anymore…"

Shiena began to wash her body, she soaped every part of her skin. The brunette put shampoo in her fluffy hair and washed them carefully, before rinsing herself. She came out of the shower and dried her body with a towel. When she was perfectly dry, Shiena tried to take her glasses. It was a shock for her when she didn't find them.

"How strange, I was sure I put my glasses close to my pajama…" Shiena thought.

Suddenly, the brunette noticed something strange about the bathroom. Even without her glasses, Shiena could see that the door was opened.

"I had closed the door, how it could be now open…don't tell me it's…"

Shiena quickly put her pajama and left the bathroom. Someone had entered and stole her glasses, and this person forgot to close the door. Since she finished school, Shiena was living in an apartment close to Myojo Academy. She was living alone, even if Yukina lived on the same floor.

"Who's there?" Shiena asked, frightened.

Suddenly, she saw someone near to her. This person was tall and seemed to have short dark hair. Shiena couldn't recognize this person, not without her glasses. The intruder had something in the hand, a red object. Was it a weapon?" The other hand was hiding behind the intruder's back.

"Who are you? Why are you here? What do you want from me?" the brunette asked with a shaking voice.

Shiena began to recoil when the intruder approached from her. Unfortunately, the brunette was now cornered against the wall, while the intruder was in front of her. This person began to approach the red object from Shiena's face, which terrified the brunette.

"Please, don't hurt me! I don't even know why you…" Shiena began to say, panicked.

The intruder suddenly pressed the red object against Shiena's face. The brunette noticed that it didn't hurt and that she could now see clearly. It was a shock for her when she saw the intruder's face.

"I'm sorry, I stole your glasses, again." The intruder said. "How many times it happened?"

"It's…the third time now…" Shiena answered.

Otoya smile a little, while Shiena adjusted her glasses, not sure if what she saw was real. Her girlfriend was quite different, her hair was now short and she seemed to have grown a little. Even if she changed, Shiena still recognized her. Otoya suddenly stopped smile, showing an emotionless expression. The serial killer had dark circles under her eyes and her gaze seemed somehow deranged. But Shiena didn't care, she was too happy to care. The only thing that matter was her girlfriend's return.

"Otoya, how…it's not important now. This is too wonderful to be true, it must be a dream, you can't be here…"

Shiena began to cry, while her girlfriend slightly stroked her cheek, trying to comfort the brunette. Otoya suddenly removed her hand from her back, showing what she was hiding. It was a flower bouquet.

"Did you…buy me flowers?" Shiena asked, while wiping her tears.

"No, I picked them myself. There have a lot of variety of flowers in Myojo Academy's garden."

Shiena suddenly kissed her girlfriend, the moment was too beautiful to be wasted in tears. She should be happy, the girl she loved came back, she shouldn't be crying.

"I love you, Otoya."

"I love you too, Shiena."

Otoya approached the flowers from the brunette.

"Do you want to sniff them? They smell quite good." the serial killer said.

Shiena approached her nose from the flowers and sniff them. They didn't seem to have a particular odor. The brunette examined them, a little bit confused. It took her few seconds to recognize those flowers, but it was too late.

"Aren't they…gelsemium? This flower is known to be able to…knock out people who…smell them…" Shiena said weakly.

The brunette almost fell on the floor, but Otoya catched her. Even if she knew what her girlfriend's intention was, Shiena wasn't mad or afraid. She was too happy by her return to care about the fact that she tricked her. The serial killer carried Shiena in her arms, like a princess, heading to the bedroom. Shiena finally fell unconscious into Otoya's arms.

Well, Otoya know how to make a good reunion. At least she bring a gift.

It seems this story might have an happy ending after all. Sorry if I scared you, I'm such a troll.

Brace yourself, because chapter 68 will be the last one! Don't be sad, I have a surprise for you, you'll see in the next chapter. I hope you'll like it ;)
