"If you don't need any academic help than i must be going." Barbara said as she went to the door as she was going to leave. Makoto ran up and grabbed her arm before she could leave she looked at her with desperation in her eyes.

"I just need you for protection. Please i beg you."

"Why do you need to enter such a club, student council president?"

Makoto let go of her hand. "Not today obviously. Just give me your number so i can call you up when needed."

Barbara looked annoyed "Dodging the question are we. If you are trying to be more social just say so."

"Yes exactly, I want to be more social. Just incase of anything going bad you step in got it."

"Ok, i do need to see more in this city, just call me when you want to hang."

"Thank you. If you excuse me i need to attend to something." Makoto bowed towards her and Barbara bowed back.

Barbara excited the school she thought she heard a cat screech but she knew there were strays around the city.

Break

Two days had passed since she met Makoto and nothing was really happening. That night she was stopping some thugs who were about to rob a bank. Then more thugs came out to get her when she was getting a call from her cell. "INCOMING CALL-MAKOTO" she heard in her cowl.

"Shit" she said trying to finish these guys off but they were not falling down easy.

"Hello?" Makoto said threw her ear communicator.

"Hey, can i call you back soon please?"

"I will be quick, Can you accompany me to the club after school tomorrow please?"

"Um.. sure." she said as another thug screamed at her while charging.

"Who is that?" Makoto asked.

"Oh he's no-one" she responded out of breath."

"Are you fighting someone?"

"No im.. Watching an anime and i sometimes get really into it ya know."

"It sounds really real. What it called?"

"It's called…" Barbara tried to think of something really quick. "The american power rangers, it's not really anime but it's still cool right."

" Whatever, anyways I will send the address to your phone ok goodbye."

"Bye" she said as she round house kicked the last thug.

"You guys just had to get up didn't you"

That afternoon

"Are you ok miss Gordon? You look really hurt." Makoto said trying to make small talk as they were walking up to the club. The club looked really unpolished. Why would Makoto chose this to hang out was beyond her, unless she had another goal in mind.

"I'm fine i just slipped on the floor last night." She lied.

"You must really like power rangers."

"Yep, why are we here? This looks sketchy."

"We will be fine, all according to plan now just follow me."

They entered the building and it looked like a typical strip club. The interior decor was purple and the girls were dancing solo on the poles. Makoto went up to a bouncer and whispered something in his ear.

"Right away miss." she spoke and directed to follow him. As they were walking she noticed that the thug would not let her pass into the room makoto was in.

"Hold it sir" Makoto said, she is with me. The man nodded and they entered the room. Inside there was a man who had the penguins physic. Chubby and rich. He held a woman close in his arms. Then he looked up to see the 2 girls that entered.

"Well look who we have here boys. What is the prosecutor's sister doing in the mafia club?

Barbara looked at Makoto "This isn't a social run isn't it."

"Junya Kaneshiro you will pay for blackmailing the students of shujin Academy."

Then suddenly the door busted open. Akira, Ann, Ryuji and Yusuke busted inside the room to interrupt the exchange.

"Makoto what the hell do you think you are doing? Why is Barbara with you?" Ryuji yelled.

"I dont know whats going on she just asked me to accompany her.

Then there was a flash of light. "Now i don't want this to get out of hand but you do realise that all 6 of you just entered an adult only club and are causing a mess of business. Now i have proof of this. This gets better and better." Kaneshiro said with glee

The group looked towards him with his phone out. He reached down and grabbed a suitcase. He gave it to the girl sitting on his lap. "Now get out of here." The girl nodded and left. He looked towards the group once more. "I just gave her 30k yen. Thats where you guys come in." he reached down and tossed Makoto an empty suitcase. It's your job to refill this case of 30k yen in 3 weeks. Other wise i will post these photos to the school and ruin you."

Barbara was feeling the same as the group. Makoto lied to her and now they were in debt to a mob boss.

Evening

"What the hell Makoto!?" Ryuuji said as they were sitting down at Le Blanc

"I'm sorry everyone. I just want to help. To prove my worth to you but now we are ruined." Makoto said with tears in her eyes.

Ann was going to comment against her when Barbara held up her hand. "Guys i think she has had enough. Arguing over this won't help anyone. Now how do we pay this 30k yen?

Then morgana the cat purred a couple of time.

"I have an idea. Since Makoto and Barbara are now technically in depth to kaneshiro then we could get to the thing." Akira said calmly.

Barbara looked dumb founded." What are you talking about?"

Ann had her eyes wide "oh wait Barbara doesn't know that we are the Phantom Thieves."

The rest of the group looked at Ann annoyed. "That was worse than Ryuji yelling it for all to hear" Yusuke commented.

"Shut up!"

It's alright I have secrets too, I might as well keep yours." Barbara replied.

"You are taking this surprisingly well" Akira noted.

"Well you guys are my friends so i know that you won't do any harm."

The thieves looked at her with determination in thire eyes.

So."Barbara said. "How do we take down the mafia?"

Wow this took a longer time than usual. Sorry about that. Had some family stuff and just thinking ahead. Anime is also a huge distraction.

Bye (P.S: If the spacing is off then PM me. Its has been that long since finishing writig this that i kinda for got. Let me know).
