Makoto yelped when Ribbon restricted her. She struggled slightly until Perfect told her that it would lead to her dying. She sighed as she listened to Perfect ramble on. He seems to know Akane a lot better than she does, though he only stated to obvious stuff. She already knew the internship for Akane would give her good money. In fact, she was actually surprised the knife actually got to him. When he asked her a question, she had an answer. "I have an assumption but that assumption must be kept a secret in terms of their race. However, I heard about this... 'Ribbon' name before. You're working with that damned CROSS organization, aren't you? The Civil War's over. You're just wasting your time hunting us down for your non-existent goals." She said, assuming that's what Perfect was after. Her silent assumption however, she wasn't even 80% confident in her assumption that Perfect was a Sanctum. That and Akane. She sighed before she looked at him straight in the eye. "So now what, creep. You have both of us. What do you plan to do now? Experiment on me? Kill me? Or are you going to surprise me and let me go and only take Akane, or Annora, with you?" She said before she remembered him talking about her life force. Did he know she was an Intoner? If she was just going to be crushed, she would have been brought back to life within a minute. But he threatened her life force. She wasn't going to gamble anymore by trying to get out somehow. If Ribbon was wrapped around her, she can't do anything but comply. She then her form so she could save her energy for some other time. Though when she did so, her glasses weren't on right and it made her curse under her breath that she can't move to fix them. "Fuck..."

Perfect took one of his hands out of his pocket, revealing his knife. As normal as it seemed, it was far from it. The blade was forged with a special material that he had stolen during his departure from Euphoria. Of course she didn't know that, but he did. Pointing the blade at Makoto, he smirked, pointing in the air, "Well? Experiment on you? I don't think so. I can care less about anything having to do with you, besides the fact that you're here with this wench." He said, shaking his head. He then knelt down in front of Makoto, placing the tip of the blade on her cheek. He looked her right in the eye, smiling as he did so. "You know, there's many thing you can do. Many choice you can make..." Perfect started to say as he sat down in front of Makoto, his knife still placed on her cheek. "...Yet you choose to work with her, for a pay? With the way this world works, why not just take what you want? I mean seriously. Ribbon back there does it. She's living pretty well, besides trying to kill me." He said, before cutting a piece of ribbon that was slowly making its way up his shoulder. "I do it also. I started out with nothing, then I killed some fucker and took his house. Pffft, and his money. But that isn't enough. The thing I plan to take next is her power. I'm sure you've witnessed her skill by now, but what you truly haven't witnessed was her full power. Wouldn't you like to have a taste of that power? Isn't that why you agreed to train under this old hag? That power would be me in a position of an organization that has the potential to be something so great... So, is what I asked before true? Do you wish to have power such as hers?" Perfect asked, wondering if what he asked was true. "If you want to act all tough and whatnot and decline my offer because of a worthless teacher/student bond, I guess I could take you back to my place. We'd love to have a maid. Would make life so much easier."​

After hearing Perfect's reasoning, the knife didn't scare her anymore as she chuckled to herself. "Heh, that surprises me too that you would stoop to such levels of a totally pathetic scumbag who leeches off of others who have done their work to achieve their goals. And her power? Judging by what you say, do I want her full power? No. She trained herself to obtain it, so I would like to achieve my own power. Besides, she and I probably have different tastes in fighting styles. Maybe similar traits but not the exact same style." She said before she smirked and moved a bit, making the knife adjust her glasses. "Stealing in my opinion, is immoral and lazy. But I guess filthy rats like you two wouldn't understand that. I do not decline your offer because of our bond, I decline it because apparently my mother raised me to be better than you fuckers. And to steal her skill? Pfff, that's a laugh. You may have the power, but you will probably lack the skill to even use it for skill is obtainable only through training. True, it'd make life a lot more easier. But I rather not use it to become the no-lives you two have become." She said still smirking wondering what else Perfect will do next. In fact, this is the most confident she's ever become without her other form. And she's proud of it.

At this point, Perfect didn't see any reason to keeping Perfect here anymore. "Well, there goes any reason to keeping you alive. Might piss off this bitch, but doesn't matter. She'll be powerless anyways." Perfect said, swiping the knife across Makoto's face, leaving a small cut. "Then again, I can't bring myself to hurt a pretty face. No matter how lowly you think of me, just remembered I spared you." Perfect then hit her upside the head, not hard enough to do any major damage, but just enough for it to hurt badly. "Ribbon, carry her back to the car. I got Akane." He said, picking Akane up and tossing her over his shoulder. "Never knew a kidnapping would be this interesting. Anywho, one word out of that little mouth of yours, and I'll have you choking on your own blood in the blink of an eye." Perfect told Makoto. "No exceptions." Ribbon and Perfect then carried the two of them to their vehicle. While Perfect could have just used his powers to get them there much faster, he preferred taking cars. They were a lot more relaxing in his opinion. "Alright, to the penthouse we go. Oh, and make sure to pull around the back, Ribbon. Don't want anyone seeing us as we go in." Ribbon looked at Perfect and grit her teeth, "Why the hell can't you drive? I don't even like cars, they took too long." Perfect shrugged and chuckled a bit. "I'm the boss here. Besides, I don't have you do too much. This is the least you can do for me, that along with keeping hold on Makoto. Don't want her getting free."​

Makoto's smirk was immediately erased as the knife cut her cheek, making her face the other way so it didn't cut anymore. She gritted her teeth as she looked back at Perfect. This guy really is a creep. Since she was threatened, she decided to keep silent. No use in trying to get free, she was really being kidnapped. When she was hit upside the head, it made her nearly lose conscious which was weird. She felt sort of dazed now and didn't feel like doing anything. She listened onto their conversation and it seemed like they weren't really on the same terms with one another. She just wondered why Ribbon decided to work for this ass hole. And this guy the same. Well, what would Ribbon get from this? Money? More stuff to be stolen? As she was being kidnapped, and more questions were formed in her head, she slowly let herself drift off to a nap.

"Alright. Thank you. By the way, what do you mean it will light our taste buds on fire? Is it spicy? I don't think Reika can eat it then haha..." She said giggling to herself remembering how Reika disliked spicy foods and would just have to have an ice cream mid-meal. Yuki wanted a meal that the family could enjoy, so she wondered if the recipe had a non-spicy version. (Sorry for the short post. I don't know what else to put on here besides a question.)

Ansom held out his hands and shook his head, laughing. "No, no. It was simply an expression." He smiled a bit and cleared his throat. "Let me try it again. The dish will fill your mouth with flavors. A medley of sweet and tangy that simply is divine." He nodded a bit and gave another chuckle. "Is that better?" He asked before standing up and smoothing out his outfit. "I'm sure it wouldn't be bad with a spicy kick to it but it probably wouldn't be the time to try it." He offered his hand to help Yuki stand from the booth.

Yuki smiled before taking his hand and getting up. "Alright. I'll make it tonight then." She said before she smiled up at Ansom. She gave him a quick hug and pulled away. She then looked around, and seems like she couldn't find for what she was looking for. She looked back up to Ansom before blushing a bit, asking him. "Um... Where's the restrooms?"

Awhile later, they had arrived to Perfect's place. He and Ribbon had got Makoto and Akane up to the penthouse. To keep Makoto from escaping, Ribbon was holding her tightly with her ribbons. Akane had woken up yet, so Perfect didn't bother to tie her up or anything. Honestly, he was hoping the spell he had learned didn't just flat out kill her instead of temporarily take her power. "Ribbon, you know, I wonder what will become of CROSS with that new guy in charge. I mean, with the old guy, there wasn't much going on, and now there's even less going on with this dude. Any opinion on this?" He asked Ribbon, as he went and got himself a glass of water. She sighed and looked out the window, enjoying the view. "Honestly, I don't care what happens to CROSS. I mean honestly, do you even know why I joined up with those pricks?" She responded by asking him a question. "Uh... Actually, I don't. Enlighten me my murderous friend." He said, smiling a bit as he plopped down in the chair at his desk. "For that very reason. Simply to kill." She told him, looking at Makoto and Akane. "Well then, that doesn't seem too far off I guess. I never really joined. I just used them, but now I see the true power an organization like that can hold. I want it. Just like I want Akane's power." Perfect then stood up from his seat and walked over to the two unconscious hostages. "I feel bad for harming this one's face." He said, rubbing his chin in thought. Looking at his glass of water, he sighed and splashed Makoto's face with it, hoping it wake her up. "You there?"

Looking at his glass of water, he sighed and splashed Makoto's face with it, hoping it wake her up. "You there?"

Makoto immediately woke up, shaking her head so it would shake the water off. She coughed a bit because apparently, as she was breathing, Perfect had to throw in some water so it went up her nose. "Ack...! Wha--- Fuck, fuck... What the hell?!" She glared up at him as her face was wet along with her glasses. She looked sort of pissed because she was actually enjoying the nap. Minus the fact she was being kidnapped. She sighed as she looked around. She then looked at Ribbon and Perfect. "What's next now? Ugh what time is it anyway?" She asked, annoyed at the two before shaking her head some more to shake off the water.

She asked, annoyed at the two before shaking her head some more to shake off the water.

Perfect blinked, taking a step back as a reaction to the sudden outburst. "Sheesh. So noisy." He said, setting the glass down a table. When asked what time it was, Ribbon held out her cellphone, close enough to Makoto that she could see it. "Not like time matters in your case... Or well, Akane's. I'm considering letting you go since you pose no real threat." Perfect told Makoto. "I mean, truthfully, there's nothing you could do." He then pointed at the ribbons, and the started to loosen up, and soon Makoto was free. "We haven't done anything to you. Not a single bit of your energy zapped from you. Now. You're next action determines what I do. The door is right over there, or... Whatever it is you plan to do, I say go for it. Ribbon, sit this one out. I'll handle it." He ordered. She looked at him, pouting a bit before making her way out of the room. "I'm going to sleep. You know where to find me." She said, walking into a bedroom, closing the door behind her. "...At this point, I might as well just give her the master bedroom. Anyways, now that its just us. What will it be?"

Makoto glared up at him as the ribbons were being undone. She got up and dusted herself off before speaking. "I won't say leaving would be a good idea..." Makoto then slowly pulled out an automatic pistol and aimed it at Perfect. She could just pull the trigger now, but it wouldn't do much against Perfect. So instead, she spoke and pointed it at Akane. "But I won't allow you to have such power." She said before she pulled the trigger to shoot just centimeters away from Akane to try and distract Perfect but she quickly jumped back and began shooting at Perfect, all shots going directly towards his head.

Perfect grinned, watching Makoto closely. With the way things were progressing, seems like she was looking for a fight. One that would keep Perfect from obtaining his power once more. "I see, well then, I wonder how you'll go about stopping me." He said, and just as he finished, Makoto had started firing away. He was fast enough to dodge the bullets, and deflect a few. The ones he deflected started to ricochet around the room. One of them hit Akane in the head, and she slowly started to move again. Perfect didn't take notice to this until he felt something grab his foot as he went to close in on Makoto. "Owowowowowow!! What the hell was that?!" Akane said, holding on to Perfect's ankle, and her free hand on her head. Since she wasn't expecting the bullet, it hurt like hell. She then looked up to see Makoto, "Oh! Makoto! Is everything okay?" She asked, looking up at her from the ground. "Oh, and I can totally see up that skirt. You have very good taste might I add." Perfect giving you any trouble?"

Makoto wasn't expecting Akane to wake up. Nor her compliment on her panties. She blushed and closed her legs as she used her skirt to close off the view. "Of course he's giving me trouble, he stuck a knife in my face! And is now the time to comment on my lingerie?!" She asked, very embarrassed. Her entire face was red as she was still closing off the view with her free hand and moving away from Akane so she could stop staring. She then wondered if Akane was awake the entire time.

 

[Nona]

Asako just grinned at his comment about his arm. She knew very well how hard she was gripping it, in her defense, it was the nearest thing to her during one of the creepier scenes so grabbing onto it was more of a subconscious thing then intentional. She raised an eyebrow when he said it was the most un-threatening thing he'd ever heard. Her mouth slightly hung open and she held a hand up to her chest, pretending to be offended. "Well, it looks like someones not invited when I win an Oscar for my totally amazing directing." She stated before tilting her head slightly at the question. Did she want to go home? She pulled out her phone, checking the time. Hakuru was most likely at work, so it's not like she could just go home and hang out with her. Her eyes lit up as an idea popped into her mind, "You've never really seen the inside of my apartment, right? How about you come with me and we can play video games or something?"

------------------------------------------

Allen was kinda wary when she raised her eyebrow, was what he said weird? He was sure it was a pretty normal thing for them, after all, they used to just walk around and do whatever looked interesting, like that one time at the pool. He was immediately relieved when she agreed though. He nodded as she talked. The chipping incident, right, he remembered that. The whole thing was pretty intense, and he was so glad it was over and that no one he knew got chipped or hurt. "Ah, right. Well, as far as I know not too many of the places we'd visit are shut down so don't worry, I'm not exactly sure which ones though" He said and smiled. He was glad to hear that she hadn't gotten mixed up with all the chipping, really that was one of the last things he'd ever want. "So, where did you go during the chipping incident?"

• Kenai Yelil •

Kenai waved his hand what looked like an exaggerated dismissive manner "Pfffft. Yeah, it'd be for best kids movie probably. Though telling me I can't go if you do win is a bit cruel" he joked as his eyes glanced to Asako "Besides. Shouldn't I still be invited?" He asked pointing to himself "After all, here I am. My criticism a shining beacon of motivation, giving you the inspiration to direct and everything in the first place" he added, gesturing to himself in a joking manner with his arms slightly raised "If you're not going to invite me, at least mention me in your speech" he said before laughing a little, his hands retreating into his pockets as he walked along.

He stopped his joking around when she mentioned going to play video games, blinking a few times. He rubbed his chin briefly in thought at her suggestion before just holding his hand there. Come to think of it, Asako had been to his place loads of times since they started hanging out together which was quite some time honestly, she had even stayed over before. Yet, he had no memory of ever being to her apartment. Granted, Kenai was quite a forgetful individual at times but he was sure of that at least "Oh, yeah. I guess I never have now that I think about it..." He answered, lowering his hand from his chin and casting his gaze towards Asako once more "Sure, my sister's are both out for the evening so I'm not expecting visitors and I don't have any other plans, chances were I was just going to play some video games or something by myself." he answered with a shrug and a smile. "Let's get going then"

​

• Ilaani •

Ilaani seemed to grin contently when he had informed her that only some of the the places they used to go to for fun were closed and the rest were still around, or atleast he thought they were. That was a good enough answer for her, some of he best memories came from living around here, going to these places to meet up with Allen and her other friends and classmates... or rather what was left of them, quite a few of her friends seem to have left the school and the town in her absence. Thinking on such a thought had caused her content expression to falter only slightly, like a threatening frown but she had caught it before it could happen. "Ah well, a good walk around will let us know which survived and which didn't, hopefully way more survived than not. Besides, we haven't gotten to do that in a long time" she added as she gave another smile.

She had paused for a moment at his question on where she was during the chipping. "Well, a few places. I stayed in the next city for a while since I had been spotted a few times here, while there a whole load of weird...demon stuff started off, that's where the whole almost getting possessed thing happened" she laughed softly as she shook her head "Uhm...things got weird so I left and kind of... wandered? I guess? Things were too crazy here to come back, my ex had fled without me and I didn't know anyone else" she admitted with a shrug "But hey, I managed to only get involved with the authorities once and that's because they were looking for someone else...What did you do?" She then asked, tilting her head slightly.

​

 

[Nona]

" Oh really? Was it that good?" He grinned before she mentioned she couldn't use it on him anymore. " My bad, I guess I'll have to stop talking about it or else Im gonna be prank-proof." He said along with a chuckle enjoying how she lilted her voice in a joking manner. In fact he was so distracted by it it took him a few seconds to get the joke she told about her wrist, once he understood it he laughted for a while. " Oh I get it now! Sorry If I was slow I was thinking about something." Matsui said with a slight smile. He was glad Rose liked the flower he placed on her ear since it was purely improvised. When she said that the insects must like him he simply shrugged. " I think that's the case, although ants and bees are the only ones that have this behavior towards me" He added " Maybe they see me as a really big queen..well king to be correct" He laughted abit at his statement that he was their queen which sounded ridiculous. Matsui was quite happy that he study with Rose, he though it'd be way more fun than doing it by himself. When she mentioned it'd be fun since she got to hang out with him he looked at her with a curious smile. " Hmm? I didn't knew you enjoyed my company that much."
His smile faded as so did hers, and when she had mentioned that her powers could get really grim he already got an idea of how it could. He completely ignored just how strong Sound Manipulation can get to be until this point, if it got out of hand it could go from leaving someone deaf to killing someone. Sure almost any power could be very dangerous if out of hand, but unlike electricity or other elemental powers there isn't much you could do against sound itself. With this new knowledge he now understood why she is so hesitant about using her powers offensively. He wasn't scared of her though, she seemed so pure she wouldn't even hurt a fly atleast not on purpose. " I understand, hopefully you wont have to. Though you never know when a giant gummy dragon comes for all your sweets or something." He said trying to lighten up the mood a little but at this point it was probably too late. As she talked about her childhood he paid full attention to her words and expressions. Even though she smiled occassionaly she seemed like she didn't like talking about it. " I see..maybe you're right about that, people are usually scared of things they can't comprehend. I found out about my abilities around 2 years ago and while I didn't experience the same struggles as you during childhood I still sympathize with you. Once I discovered my abilities I had to be very cautious about not blowing my cover at work or in other social activities." Matsui then looked at her feeling guilty of making her dwell on that past. " Agh Im sorry Rose.. I made you talk about bad memories.. I feel somewhat guilty now.. Should we change subject?" He asked her slight smile trying to remove some of the tension. As she took the piece chocolate he offered and thanked him he simply replied. " You're welcome~" taking another bite of his chocolate.

Rosalie nodded as she laughed silently "Yeah! Silly, but definitely a good one to keep in mind for someone else" she said with a smile. "And yeah, good idea to keep them to yourself...I mean, unless you're making yourself prank proof on purpose...even if you are ill still catch you out somehow" she grinned enthusiastically. She tilted her head in a curious manner when he seemed to only be getting her joke after a few moments "It's fine, don't worry about it...what were you thinking about?" She blinked before quickly waving her hands "Nevermind. I probably shouldn't ask something like that" she quickly added.

She couldn't help but giggle along with him when he had called himself their queen or well, king. Either way she still found their antics really cute. She smiled brightly when he mentioned her enjoying his company, immediately nodding "I do! You're really interesting, Mat! I'm glad I didn't decide to just take a seat somewhere else or something" she answered in response to his question and curious smile, which she had caught.

Hearing his odd joke about her powers, she raised her brows at first before laughing a little "Oh yes. I definitely couldn't hold back if a gummi dragon was taking my things." She joked back, obviously had noticed his attempt to pick up the mood of the conversation even though it wasn't exactly guaranteed to work, thinking it was rather sweet of him to try do so. "I can't imagine if I had only discovered my powers recently...they've already taken this long for me to even get them to work properly...I've accidentally smashed a lot of vases and windows" she answered, her tone sounding like a joke near the end of her sentence...but she wasn't joking full, the breaking things part was pretty true...kind of embarrassing if anything.

She paused in her movements as he apologised about making her talk about difficult things. Blinking a few times she smiled gently and shook her head a little "It's fine, don't worry about it...don't feel guilty either, it's not like you really made me as such..." She assured him with a slight nod "Either way...I've been told talking about it is a good thing... or yeah...apparently..." She shrugged her shoulders, she wasn't sure if it was or not, but she normally avoided such topics. "So...uhm...thanks for talking to me about it" she answered softly. Her expression remained somewhat serious for a moment, like she was thinking. Which she was, he had asked to change the subject after all. After a moment of silence thought she looked towards Matsui for a moment before offering a smile. Moving forward a little she took both of his hands making them face eachother first before letting them go them holding her own hands the same way. She then held up her two index fingers straight before bending them towards eachother "That's how you say hello" she explained as she made the motion "I'm not making you study lots and lots right now or anything, I just atleast knowing how to say hello is a good start before you actually start right into studying, right?" She tilted her head and beamed a smile, she had also been trying to give him the option to change the subject like he had asked

Makoto wasn't expecting Akane to wake up. Nor her compliment on her panties. She blushed and closed her legs as she used her skirt to close off the view. "Of course he's giving me trouble, he stuck a knife in my face! And is now the time to comment on my lingerie?!" She asked, very embarrassed. Her entire face was red as she was still closing off the view with her free hand and moving away from Akane so she could stop staring. She then wondered if Akane was awake the entire time.

Akane slowly got off of the ground, letting go of Perfect as she did so. He then dusted himself off, Akane doing the same once she was back on her feet. She smiled and gave Makoto a thumbs up, "Very mature choice is all I'm saying. Sorry about that, and Perfect might I add. He was helping with the training. Everything he did, that was me." She admitted, nodding her head. Perfect sighed and sat down on his couch, upset that his apartment was going to need some repairs after Makoto decided to fire off in his place. "Yeah, I owe her my life. She had the opportunity to kill me, but she didn't. But I wasn't lying about taking this place, and money along with it. I'm a criminal in the eyes of many, and a businessman in the eyes of a few. A target for Ribbon though. She doesn't know when to quit." Perfect said, looking at the window. "Sorry about the cut on your face." Akane then looked at Makoto, immediately seeing the scar. She walked over to Perfect and punched him in the face, breaking the couch under him. "You didn't have to cut her face, you imbecile." Akane then made her way over to Makoto, placing a hand on the cheek with the cut, healing her and removing any traces of the cut, leaving not even a scar. "And there you have it. I was testing you."

Makoto was surprised but something overwhelmed her before she collapsed to the floor after the scar was healed. To be honest, she was really scared about the kidnapping and the idea of intentionally killing someone. She was on her knees now, breathing heavily as she was trembling, gripping her arms as she tried to calm herself. She never really killed someone, let alone still putting up a fight when she knew it was suicide. She also never actually watched someone who could potentially die right in front of her. She silently started to sob as the experience was way too real for her.

She never really killed someone, let alone still putting up a fight when she knew it was suicide. She also never actually watched someone who could potentially die right in front of her. She silently started to sob as the experience was way too real for her.

Laying on the broken bits of couch, Perfect slowly started to get up, placing a hand on his head. As he did so, he heard sobbing. It wasn't Ribbon. That was almost impossible, and Akane was someone he felt was too strong to cry. At least in the current situation. That left the girl. Looking at Akane, he sighed, "You put the her through too much. What are you going to do now?" He asked, stretching, his body healing as he did so. "Whether her tears be ones of sadness, or whatever they may be, she's made progress. Luckily I got up when I did. I've learned quite a bit about Makoto from this training session alone. She's confident. Willing to fight for her comrades. And she's strong willed, even when the odds are against her. While this all may be something even new to her, she has what it takes to be my apprentice." Akane explained, placing a hand on Makoto's head. "No need to cry. Everything is alright now. I'm sorry if the training exercise was a bit much, but it had to be done." She said, as Perfect walked over to her. "I guess I'm sorry or whatever too. I'll make up hurting you anyway I can. Just say the word, and I'll do it." He said, putting his hands behind his head. "My damn couch..."

Makoto eventually calmed down her sobbing. She then slowly started to get up, clearing her eyes and then her glasses. She looked up at them with her slight traumatized look on her face as she spoke. "Just... show me where the bathroom is please. I'm just gonna clean myself up now..." She said as she put her gun away after discarding the clip which was completely empty. It had a symbol on it, making it seem like her signature mark. It looked what to appear like a four pointed star, pointing vertically and horizontally. It was colored white with Makoto's name written under it in Japanese. But besides that, she just wanted to wash her face and fix her clothes. And probably needing some time to herself.

Akane could tell Makoto wasn't exactly happy with her, and she could understand that. Perfect could care less, he was just being asked to repay Akane the favor she called in for sparing him. "Bathroom? First door on the left in the hall." He said, pointing in the direction she'd have to go. He then looked at Akane and shook his head, "I'm gonna need at least 100,000 for the damages. That isn't even a penny coming from your bank account, so it shouldn't be a problem. Thank you very much." Perfect's request and the way he worded it resulted in another punch to the face. "Fine. I fear she may not want to speak with me at the moment. Hopefully she understands why I did what I did though." Akane said, looking down towards the ground. "I mean... Yeah? I don't necessarily care about all of this. I just want the money for the damages. That, and I want some of your power. Just a bit." He said. Akane stared at him, wondering why he would even make that request. "Is that why you were so quick to help me? To ask for my power?" She asked. "Well... Something like that. I have my reasons, and if you help me, I can help you." Perfect told Akane, explaining his entire plan to her as they waited for Makoto to return.

Makoto went inside the bathroom and closed it. She leaned against the door and looked in the mirror at herself. She was still pretty scared about the entire experience. She then pulled out her pistol and loaded it. She set the fire mode to a single shot and put it to her head. Without hesitation, she pulled the trigger and fell to the floor.

As the two of them talked between one another about Perfect's plan, which the conversation consisted of nothing but endless bickering, the two of them heard what sounded like a gunshot. It had come from the bathroom. Akane hopped up and ran to bathroom, opening the door. Perfect didn't run, but instead walked. "Make that 125,000 if she killed herself. Getting rid of things like that can be costly when you're working with the guy I do... Mainly because he does quality work and nothing less than it." He said, leaning against the wall outside the bathroom.

All there was to see was Makoto lying on the ground, lifeless as blood came from the hole in her head. Beside her laid the gun she used earlier. Her blood splashed onto the mirror and the walls around it. Some even getting on the door. Though the surprising thing about it was that even though she left a pile of blood, her finger that pulled the trigger seemed to twitch... Soon her body began to move again as the blood evaporated and the hole in her head closed. She seemed to slowly sit up and rub her head in the area she shot herself from. She groaned before she looked at Akane. It looked as if she woke up from a long nap. "Oh. Hey Akane. Was that Annora part also fake or was that actually your real name?

Forgetting what Makoto was, Akane wasn't prepared to tell someone that she let their child die. Wouldn't be the first time it happened either. Just not too long ago, her own grandchild had a hole for a heart. Makoto's wounds started to heal, Akane smiled and it reoccurred to her that Makoto was an intoner and that wasn't enough to put her down. When she saw Akane and asked if her name was Annora or was that also fake, she looked at Perfect, who had closed in on the scene to catch a glimpse. "At least she kept her sense of curiosity." He said, before looking at Akane with a smile, who at the time, had changed into one of her different forms. She looked at him and smiled right before decking him right in the nose. Perfect fell back and yelled, holding his face. "This is like the fourth time already, stop." He said, as he got up and began walking away. "I want my money for these repairs damn it." As he walked away, Akane silently mocked him. When Perfect was out of sight, Akane's attention was put on Makoto. "It was all made up for the training. A way to keep you more engaged sense you seem to think there's more to me than meets the eye. Figured it would help. Now, we're leaving miss fancy panties. Pull the trigger again and I'll kill you myself." Akane said, grabbing Makoto and rushing for the door. "Be fast. There's something I have to do once I make it back to the estate."​

Nyn walked slightly behind him. For some reason she felt like she was being watched, she looked everywhere but she didn't see anyone looking at her. She then looked forward trying to convince herself it was just her imagination. Nyn watched how Yoichi crossed as the light was red and the walk signal was up, she quickly realized how the system works.When Yoichi mentioned that he had to go back to his place once they were done with the signing she felt somewhat downcast. She never had so much fun since.. Well she just didn't know since when, but when he added that they could meet again sometime she lit up again. " Oh.. yeah umm maybe tomorrow? Any day would be good for me." She wondered why he wasn't looking back at her, maybe it was something she said? She was unsure whether it was something to worry about or not.

Yoichi yawned a bit, starting to show that he was rather tired from all the walking and constant movement from earlier in the day when Nyn had passed out. While today had been an interesting, it was just as tiring for him, especially since he had planned to do a quick training session then head back to his dorm for the day. Not like he was against the day's events though. In the end he made a friend, and got a burger for lunch. When she suggested tomorrow, he thought about it for a moment. "If I'm free tomorrow, I'll come tell you. If I can't come to you, then I'm for sure too busy, but don't take it the wrong way. Its not like I'd be trying to avoid you or anything. We are friends after all." He told her, as he continued to walk, kicking a can that was on the sidewalk in front of him. He continued to kick the same can a few times as they went along.

Makoto was still in a daze after what she had done, and being dragged out annoyed her and she sort of whined half awake. "Stop commenting about my panties. They're not even that fancy!" She then started to walk normally out with Akane wondering what she had to do. She was also even more annoyed that the Annora part was bullshit. "What's the rush anyway?"
