Oh my god… He's a guard… What do we do? "Um… A sign back there was pointed this way so we thought we could see something here…" I made up. Good, looks like he bought it.
"Oh, well… I guess it wouldn't hurt to show you two…" The guard gasped when he looked at the door. "The door is opened!"
"It was like that when we got here… What's going on?" Hiro asked with an alert tone.
"Uhh…" The guard stuttered.
Most likely trying to find an excuse…
"We already displayed this so we're going to convert it to another room." The guard said quickly.
Hiro nudged me. "Liar." He muttered quietly so only I can hear and I nodded in return.
"Oh um… Can we look at it?" I asked. "We weren't here when it was displayed…" I made a puppy face.
He thought for a moment. "Well… I guess for a moment wouldn't hurt." He opened the door and once again, gasped.
"Hm? What's the matter?" Hiro inquired.
"The security is disabled." He whispered to himself. "Whoever did that must've also left the door opened…? Excuse me." He quickly ran out, leaving Hiro and I behind.
"Great job Takkun!" Hiro beamed when the guard was out of sight.
"Thanks, but it was you who left the door opened." Takuto replied.
"S-Sorry…" Hiro sighed heavily.
"Quit apologizing and see if that's what we're looking for." Riki interrupted.
"Alright." Hiro sang.
"Quit fooling around Hiro." Kenshi sighed from the other end of the transceiver.
"By the way, where are you guys?" I questioned, trying to change the subject.
"We're almost there." Riki replied.
"Better hurry up, people are coming your way." Takuto exclaimed.
"You gotta be kidding!" I exclaimed back.
"Alright, let's see…" We walked forward and Hiro took a picture of a box and sent it.
"Yes! That's it!" Takuto beamed.
"Great! Hiro, leave the card!" Riki commanded.
"Huh?" I made a confused face.
"Right." He drew out a card and placed it slightly under the box.
That's… "The Black Foxes Warning Card." I muttered.
"Yup." Hiro popped the 'p'. "They'll find it."
Then my eye caught the camera. "Hiro!" I spun his around.
"HUH!? Oh…" He gasped when I jerked around, but when he saw the camera, he smiled.
!?
"Hey Takkun!" Hiro waved at the camera.
"…Eww…"
"Huh?" I stared at Hiro.
"Takuto's in charge of the cameras at the moment… So he's gonna edit the part when Hiro slipped in the card." Riki explained.
"Phew…" I sighed in relief.
"Takuto can do anything…" Kenshi complimented.
"S-Stop that!" Takuto exclaimed.
"You're not blushing are you?" Riki asked.
"N-No! I'm not!" Takuto replied quickly.
"Hmm… I don't know…" Hiro said suspiciously.
"Shut up Hiro!"
"Are you embarrassed?" Hiro tilted his head to the side. He is clearly enjoying teasing Takuto… "You truly are amazing!"
"…" Silence from Takuto.
"Wow… He's rendered speechless!" Riki exclaimed with shock.
"I know right!" Hiro agreed.
"Hiro!" I shouted when I heard voices.
"I know…" He took my hand in his. We watched as several guards came in. "Did you find out the people who broke in?" Hiro asked with a serious tone. Wow he's so serious all of the sudden…
"No." The one we ran into before sighed. "We checked the cameras and everything, but found nothing."
Hiro's eyes were smiling, but he still kept the serious face. "We're sorry if we're disturbing you." Hiro quickly bowed and I followed suit.
"No, don't worry about it." Another said. "If you didn't show up, we wouldn't have known this door was opened."
"Umm… What is this exactly?" Hiro pointed to the box.
"It's called Nigihayami."
"Nigihayami?" I tiled my head.
"Yes."
"It's beautiful." I smiled. "What does it do?"
One sadly shook their head. "We don't really know… It won't open."
"Huh? Why not?" I asked.
"No key can open it. And we don't want to break it."
I looked closely and saw a dented circle… Fit for a ring… I gasped and covered my ring. I bet it's for my ring!
"Hey…" Hiro whispered to me and took my left hand in his, covering my ring.
"There you guys are." Riki slowly tapped on the door.
"Where were you? We thought you got lost and we panicked." Kenshi piped.
"What are you two doing in here?" Takuto asked.
"Well…" I have to play along.
"You guys should check out this box! It's so cool!" Hiro smiled.
"What is it?" Riki walked over. "Can I?" He asked and the guards nodded. "Hey… Is this supposed to be here?" He picked up the card.
"The Black Foxes!?" I exclaimed when I read the card.
"Let me see that." A guard read it over and looked at the other guards. "The Black Foxes are coming here to steal the Nigihayami tonight."
"Black Foxes? Why do they want to steal a box?" Riki inquired.
"It's not just a box…" One said.
"Then what kind of box is it?" Riki gave a slight smirk.
"It's um… A special box…" He answered.
"Yep! You can tell just by the designs!" Hiro's eyes sparkled.
"Do you want the card?" Kenshi asked and handed it off, which they took.
"Please don't tell anyone about this…" Another held up the card. "Make sure to keep this to yourselves."
"Yes sir!" Hiro exclaimed and made a salute with a smile.
"Let's go guys." Riki started for the door.
"Thank you for showing us." I gave a little bow and they all nodded. Then, we headed back to LRN.
30 Minutes Later
"Did you find it?" Boss asked when we were all in the kitchen. He was cooking for the customers and talking to us at the same time.
"Yeah." I replied.
"We left the card there, just as we planned." Riki beamed.
That was planned?! "And you guys never told me?" I asked and they all swallowed.
"Well…" Kenshi started.
"…" Takuto looked down.
"Umm…" Hiro stuttered. Even my boyfriend?
"You think I would mess up or something?" I asked. They've been doing this for the past missions… Don't they trust me or something? "Forget it…" I muttered and dropped my gaze towards the ground. I sighed and quickly walked towards the entrance.
"W-Wait! Kikyan!" Hiro tried to follow me.
"Hiro! Kikyan!" Riki called out, but I ignored both of them and left LRN.
Third POV
When Hiro tried to run after Kikyan, Riki stopped him.
"Hiro wait!" Riki called.
"Wah!" Riki pulled him back into the kitchen.
"Where are you going?" Kenshi questioned.
"To get Kikyan of course!" Hiro snapped.
"You guys are giving me a headache." Takuto types on his laptop.
"We can get her when we leave for the mission." Boss suggested.
Hiro sighed. "But..." They all looked at him. "A-Alright…"
"Let's go over the procedures again." Riki drew out a map.
Hiro wasn't looking at the others who were talking. Instead, he was looking at the door where Kikyan walked out of…
Kikyan's POV
Even if I'm part of the Black Foxes, the other guys still kept information or plans from me… There's so much that I do not know right now… If I can be more useful maybe they could trust me more… There was no point going back to the museum… I flopped onto my bed and fell asleep.
Hours Later
(DING DONG)
(mmm…) I sat up and slowly walked towards the door. "Hiro?"
"Kikyan!" Hiro pulled me into a tight embrace.
?
"I thought something happened to you." He said sadly. "Because you didn't answer my phone calls."
"Oh…" He looks depressed. "I was sleeping, I'm sorry."
Then, he looked relieved. "Thank goodness… I thought you were kidnapped or something."
"Pff, who would want to kidnap me?"
"…I would."
"Huh?"
"With a beautiful girl walking around, someone's bound to take her." He stroked my hair. "Listen, we just didn't want you to get hurt. We all care about you. No matter what."
"Do you guys trust me though?"
"Yes." Hiro answered without hesitation.
I smiled and wrapped my arms around him. He was shocked at first, but still held onto me. I knew he wasn't lying by looking at him in the eyes. He lifted up my chin was about to kiss me when…
(BEEP BEEP)
"Huh?!" Hiro and I both exclaimed and jumped back.
"Hey! Are you two done making out? If so, get in the car!" Riki shouted with a grin.
"Oh yeah…" Hiro laughed slowly and then glared at Riki playfully. Seconds later, after giving up the supposed-to-be 'staring contest', Hiro smiled at me. "Ready to go Kikyan?"
"Yeah."
"We shall continue this later…" Hiro muttered as he grabbed my hand and guided me towards the van.
Please Review Thanks :)
