Inside a red magma Maserati GT, two shadows were intertwined. MIB2 glanced at MIB1 who was seated behind the wheel and asked, "Do you see what I see?" MIB1 grunted at the vagueness of his partner's question and didn't dare to make a comment. MIB1 knew the double-meaning behind that question and his silence made MIB2 chuckle in his seat. "Geez. Loosen up, bro! I am just saying that million-dollar baby needs to get its windows tinted." MIB1 shushed his partner, his big palm covered MIB2's mouth, when the two shadows inside the car before them pulled apart.

Inside Maxen's car, he wrapped his hand around Olivia's wrist as she wiped the red lipstick smudge on his lips.

"Fiction," Olivia answered. 


"Unfortunately, that's a fact and you know it too."

"You see, the thing about facts are they didn't tell the truth, Max. They are only a piece of the puzzle. Get your facts straight next time because what happened twenty-five years ago was an accident and definitely not related to the Pyxis. Might be one of Henry Lin's ploy for all we know. Game over, Max. Let's go," Olivia rebutted, pulling away Maxen's finger that was caressing the skin under the strap of her tank top. 


She rolled her eyes and lightly shook her head at how busy his hands were, holding everything it could, in their brief proximity. Maxen flashed a smug smile, feeling every bit like a lottery winner, even when his game was cut short. He took a sharp inhale and unbuckled his seatbelt before alighting the car, rounding up to the other side to pull the door open for Olivia who shivered in her spot when the island's night wind blew past.

"Welcome to Nisia, where the mornings are summer and the evenings are fall," Maxen whispered in Olivia's ears and pulled his suit jacket from her grasp, covering her with it. The suit jacket that was twice her size covered her petite frame. "And thank you for my suit jacket to keep you warm tonight," Maxen smirked, annoying Olivia to the core. "After you," Maxen gestured towards the building, his hand hovered at the small of Olivia's back. 

Upon entering the building, Olivia peeled the jacket off her and gave it back to Maxen. "Thanks," she said while her eyes wandered around the place. Her brows furrowed as she could hear nothing from the outside, even when she saw a plane which just took off. 

The building's superintendent rushed to their side upon seeing Maxen. He welcomed them with a brilliant smile on his face and shook hands with the pair. He toured them around the building and did all the talking, from the square foot of the building, to the number of offices and bathrooms, plus the cafeteria on the second floor.
Maxen had a smug look on his face the entire time as he waited for Olivia to find anything to trash talk about the place yet she found none. After they checked the entire vicinity with, Olivia finally asked the question that bugged her mind.

"How much is the lease?"

The superintendent jerked in his spot when his eyes met Maxen's. He was told this morning that the prince would come in for an ocular inspection, but was not told that His Highness's private hangar would be put up on a lease. "Uhh… uhhh…" the superintendent stammered, sending codes through his eyes to Maxen who suddenly realized the gravity of the situation.

"Do you like the place? Does it pass your standards?" Maxen asked.

"Just one more box to tick off."

"The price."

Olivia nodded to his words. She knew this place would come in a hefty price tag what with how it was built for a very special purpose: the security system is top notch, soundproofed windows providing a noise-free environment which cancelled out the air traffic noise outside, and it has its own hangar too that could cater up to three private jets. She could not help but feel as if the place was built for her.

"It's cheap. $50K a month, all-inclusive: maintenance, tax, the works," Maxen casually replied, his hands dipped inside his pants pocket. His statement earned him a raised brow, both from Olivia and the superintendent. 

Who was Maxen kidding anyway? Why would the lease of a building be priced lower than her penthouse suite? But what shocked the superintendent the most was Olivia's counteroffer. 

"I'll take it for $45K/month. It's a bit far out from the city, don't you think? How much is the square foot value of this property?" Olivia shamelessly countered. She had an inkling that this property belonged to Maxen after hearing that bargain-priced lease. Why not milk him out of it and save her thousands of dollars? If she could be thick-faced enough, she could just ask for the place for free, but she won't because she may be a miser but she's definitely not a freeloader.

"You heard that," Maxen faced the superintendent and wiggled his brows.

"Yes, your High Highness. I will let the owner know," the superintendent clipped his chin in affirmation to Maxen's order.

"Come on, Max. Don't make it hard for him. We all know this place is yours," Olivia called him out on his pretenses which made Maxen chuckle that his shoulders shook and his eyes formed like a crescent moon. The superintendent marvelled in awe at how carefree the prince looked like and subconsciously mirrored the same expression. "You heard her. Go draft the contract for Ms. Olivia Lin," Maxen ordered and the superintendent was out of sight in a beat. 


Maxen leaned forward to tease Olivia and whispered in her ears, "It's not under my name though." Olivia's ear perked at Maxen's bold statement, a corner of her mouth tugged up. Maxen knew if there's one thing that excites her, it's knowing secrets that people like him hide. 


"Sooo…" she dragged the last syllable in her most sexy and confident voice while her finger flirted under Maxen's collar, stiffening him in his spot. "Besides the one in the contract, what other aliases does His Highness go by?"

Caught off guard with her reaction, Maxen grabbed the naughty little finger that was toying with the emotions in his heart and down under his pants. He decided to play along as he saw the glint of deviousness in Olivia's eyes. So he yanked her closer to him, and Olivia naturally wrapped her arms around his neck. Olivia gasped when she felt something hard poked her belly so she stayed still as Maxen's hot breath tickled her ears. For a moment, she felt her head buzzing as the strong scent of his cologne assaulted her nose. She closed her eyes to focus on what he was saying, but she was so distracted that she forced herself to pull away from him.

"Wha… what were you saying?" she asked, catching her suspended breath. She sent an evil glare towards Maxen who was annoyingly smug that she wanted to crumple his face.

"I said, only my wife could know."

“I’m not a ‘thing’ to be possessed.” Olivia pulled her weight with her elbows and stared at Maxen whose head was now wedged between her legs. 

“Absolutely,” he agreed, widening the high slit of her gown. “You’re a goddess, Olivia. And I will even worship the land that you would set foot on.” 

... 

Olivia Lin. Exiled heiress of the biggest corporation in the small island of Nisia. Nobody knew of her name. Heck, nobody knew of her existence. Henry Lin, her father, left her in the farthest place from the country as possible the moment she was born. 

Maxen Victor Eton Sui, a heartbreak dressed in a hot suit. What more if he's wearing a crown? 

Now when their paths collide, will sparks fly? 

...

"This is the 9th time you sabotaged a surgery!" Logan Jin roared the moment he entered Liam Jin's study.
"It's the 8th time," Liam Jin corrected as he took another long drag of the lit cigarette clipped in between his middle and index finger while his feet were languidly placed on his desk. 
"DAMON! What are you trying to do? Do you want to destroy our Jin family for medical malpractice?!" Logan Jin's voice raised, dismayed for the fact that his son alter ego took dominance of him for the past three months.
"Uh, no, daddy dear. If I wanted to destroy this family, I already did three months ago." Liam Jin uttered in a matter of factly tone. He was unaffected if his father would die from anger as he doesn't care. After all, if he died, Liam would get all the inheritance and won't hear his nagging. Alas, even though the idea was good, Damon doesn't want to bother and waste his energy.
"I just want my dearest fiance in my arms, why not find her instead and I'll leave your precious hospital alone," Liam added with a sly grin on the side of his lips. Indeed, the Liam Jin before Logan Jin's eyes wasn't his son but a demon -- a pure sadistic devil.
Logan Jin was confounded of the strong reason why Damon took control of his precious son Liam. Is it because he was under too much stress -- pressure? Is it because of Seraphina? Logan Jin was uncertain but what's clear to him was Damon was getting out of hand. Alas, none of them could do anything about it as Damon would do underhanded means and wouldn't let them be put to sleep, again.
God knows what he'd do this time if Logan Jin made a reckless decision. Recalling the past, they paid a huge price to bring Liam back several years ago. What's more, now that Liam is a grown capable man? The outcome would be dire if Logan Jin didn't abide by his condition.
"Seraphina Yue? I'll find her for you if that's what you want." Logan Jin affirmed through his gritted teeth. Though he was disappointed by Seraphina's behavior, Logan Jin understood her reasoning as it was his negligence as the head of the Jin family that nearly fastened the late Sebastian Yue. After all, Seraphina only wished for her grandfather to die a natural death in peace -- nothing more, nothing less.
Moreover, the Jin family owed the great Sebastian Yue a huge debt. Hence, Logan Jin warned Seraphina as he was afraid of this, of her knowing Liam's darkest secret. Alas, now that what he feared has already happened, then, Logan Jin was left with no choice but to save his own family than protect Sebastian Yue's beloved granddaughter.
'Uncle Yue, I must receive my retribution for putting your precious little girl in a complicated situation.' Logan Jin remorsefully apologized as he was reminded of the kind-hearted smiling Sebastian Yue.
"But… why are you obsessing over her?" Logan Jin questioned. Granting that he knew that his son truly love the girl, alas, Damon is a different case. 
To simplify, though Damon resides inside Liam's body, alas, both showed different interest. It's like two people lived in the same body which terrifies Logan Jin ever since.
"Ohh, that's because for once, Liam and I, finally had the same interest -- he foolishly loved her for years due to her pure innocence while I'm grateful to her!" Liam Jin gleefully affirmed changing tones from one to another. Yet, as he said his last remarks, a lingering danger went through the lines which weren't overlooked by Logan Jin.
Seeing the face of his son as he bore a maniac look, it instantly sent cold shrill on his spine. In Logan Jin's perspective, he doesn't recognize Liam anymore this time. It gave him the feeling that his filial and kind son would never come back and only this vicious side of him will remain and devour the original Liam.
"Eya~, don't give me that look, I just want Seraphina Yue and not the one you've been throwing at me -- she seemed... tasteless. No challenge at all." Liam tilted his head with a stultify look plastered across his front.
Logan Jin gritted his teeth which caused his jaw to tighten. In his heart, he failed as a father; ever since that incident from years back. Now, not only him but also his son was now paying the price for it.
Just then, a loud notification sound indicating an incoming message broke the stifling atmosphere inside Liam's study.
Liam glanced at the screen and grinned seeing Nathalie's name. "Speaking of that girl, since I'm as filial as ever, I must abide by my father's wishes."
Hearing what Liam just said, Logan Jin's eyes widened in disbelief. He froze that very instant as his heart throb louder than it should be.
"Damon, not that family--"
"I'm just acting just as you wish, what's the fuzz?" Liam abruptly interrupted his father's sentence midway with a sly smirk on the corner of his lips.
He languidly stood and grabbed for his uncreased jacket suit before he began taking a stride towards the door. As he passed by Logan Jin, he muttered.
"No worries, I won't hurt her…" And then Liam resumed taking slow strides, he added when he reached the door;
"... just a bit." Liam then exited leaving Logan Jin in a panic-stricken situation.

Resting his head against the car seat he turned his head to the right and watched the door of the house he stood in front.

---

Alchoen put the phone down then, walked to the bathroom nervously. Brushing his teeth he couldn't stop thinking about how scared he was at the fact that he was so easily found by Lee Won Ho.

After taking a shower he walked into his room and went to his closet. There were all sorts of clothes he could wear but Alchoen opted to put on a tracksuit.

The one he chose had loose fitted maroon pants that had elastic around the inside of the ankle that could be pulled up along the leg. He put on a body chain that tied at his waist which was a perfect fit that matched the diamond belly button piercing he had.

The body chain also had a neck piece and a chain going down his stomach connecting the two pieces together. He then put on a black tank top and over that, a maroon, long-sleeved crop top, that had a hoodie attached to it. He combed his hair then covered it with the hoodie.

Looking through his sock drawer he pulled out a pair of black ankle socks then put on a pair of black Adidas sneaker.

Picking up his phone, he looked through his bag for his wallet then headed to his father in the study.

Alchoen, "Daddy, I'm going out with my friend."

His father looked up from reading the newspaper and said, "Where are you going?"

Alchoen, "To the movies then we will eat out and go shopping."

"Make sure you come home in time for dinner."

Alchoen, "Yes sir."

"Alchoen?"

Alchoen, "Yes?"

"Don't go to Jin Ha's house, come straight home."

Alchoen, "Y-y-yes sir."

He turned around and went to tell his mother that he was leaving.

"Okay baby, just remember to be safe and come home alright."

Alchoen, "Mn."

Walking out of the front door, he closed it behind him and stopped while looking at the door. His body slouched. Turning his head to face the sky, he placed his hands on his face. Taking a few deep breaths in he took his hands down and turned around.

Walking to the gate he opened it and looked ahead.

Outside across the road stood a handsome man dressed in blue denim jeans with a poison green shirt and jacket to match it. This handsome man stood leaning against his black Audi with one leg up against the car.

Alchoen recognized him this time as Lee Won Ho and no longer a stranger.

He closed the gate behind him and walked across the road. He stopped in front of Lee Won Ho and looked up at him. Not saying a word, the two stared into each other's eyes.

Lee Won Ho was the first to speak, he smiled at Alchoen and asked, "Am I that captivating that you must stare at me for such a long time?"

Alchoen lowered his head and said, "I-i-i a-alrea-dy g-greeted yo-u-u o-o-over t-t-he p-phone."

Lee Won Ho chuckled. He placed his right and behind Alchoens back and opened the car door for him. After he helped Alchoen get into his car he jogged to the other side and got in.

Alchoen was struggling with the seat belt because he was way too nervous. When Lee Won Ho got into the car and by instinct, he leaned over and pulled the seat belt then clipped it in. When he was done he was about to put on his seat belt but before he could move, his eyes locked onto Alchoens and the two of them stared deeply into the other's eyes.

Alchoen's breathing became heavy as he saw that Lee Won Ho was inching closer and closer.

Before Lee Won Ho even knew it, the two of them were locking tongues. Lee Won Ho was gentler this time but Alchoen could feel that this man wanted to devour him.

Lee Won Ho cupped Alchoen's face in his right hand as he moved his tongue deeper and deeper into his mouth while soft muffled sounds came from Alchoen. Lee Won Ho finally moved his head back and unlocked their passionate kiss.

With a hazy gaze, he looked at Alchoen and lightly smiled. He could see that Alchoen was out of breath and deeply gasping for air.

He slowly pecked him on the lips three times, then moved to kiss Alchoen's nose, cheek and neck.

Lee Won Ho placed his nose against the left side of Alchoen's nose placing their foreheads together.

He could feel the warm air coming from inside Alchoen's mouth. He opened his eyes and looked at the flustered gaze Alchoen was giving him.

With a chuckle, he asked, "Aren't you glad you agreed to go out with me?"

Alchoen averted his eyes to look down at their nose and didn't answer him. Lee Won Ho smiled then pressed his lips once again onto Alchoens but didn't continue.

He sat back in his seat after kissing Alchoen then fastened his seat belt and started the car, driving off to the cinema.

---

Arriving at the mall, Lee Won Ho was the first to get out. Alchoen looked at him through the windshield. Lee Won Ho opened the door beside him and looked down at Alchoen with a smile on his face.

Slowly getting out he stood beside Lee Won Ho and watched him close the door. Locking the car and they were off.

Since it was still early in the morning, there wasn't a lot of people around, so Alchoen felt relaxed.

They headed to the cinema area and found out that the movie would only start half an hour later.

Looking at the time on his wristwatch, Lee Won Ho looked down at Alchoen who was staring into the distance.

Lee Won Ho, "Want to go shopping for the time being?"

Looking up at him he slowly nodded.

Alchoen walked in front while Lee Won Ho followed from behind.

Alchoen directly walked to the store he had his eyes on.

When he arrived he stopped in front of the window and looked at the boxes on display.

Each box was different and was selling for less than their original price. Walking in he went to the table that displayed the various boxes and picked up one.

Holding it in his hands he examined it and looked at the price. Inside the box were four mini cookie cutters and a cookie recipe book.

Looking at the second box, it had a heart-cutting set, a mini rolling pin and a different cookie recipe book.

The third box had a plastic piping bag in it with four nozzle tips, six silicone cupcake liners and a cupcake recipe book.

The fourth box had a cupcake stand in with a recipe book and the fifth box had stuff that could be used for a high tea party that included a recipe book with many snacks in it.

Lee Won Ho stood outside the store and looked at Alchoen with enthusiasm. Looking at the boxes Alchoen piled up he wondered if Alchoen was interested in purchasing them.

Walking into the shop, he bent over Alchoen's shoulder and said next to his ear, "Are you going to purchase these boxes?"

Alchoen answered while sighing, "Not all, just the one."

Soon he realized that he was speaking to someone and turned his head only to meet with Lee Won Ho's eyes.

His heart trembled quickly turning his head to look away.

Lee Won Ho smirked and moved away, "Why only the one?"

Alchoen, "It's expensive."

Looking at the prices Lee Won Ho frowned, these prices weren't expensive to him but at the same time, he didn't want to offer to buy it, just in case he upsets Alchoen.

He walked around the shop to look at all the different books and puzzles. After a while, Alchoen pulled on the side of his shirt.

Feeling the sudden tug at his shirt, Lee Won Ho looked to the side with a listless gaze but it instantly shined when he saw that it was Alchoen.

Alchoen, "I've paid, we can leave now."

With a smile on his face, Lee Won Ho nodded and the two of them left the store. Strolling along with the windows Lee Won Ho asked, "Is there anywhere else you want to go before we head back to the cinema, there are still 45 minutes left.?"

Alchoen looked up at him and asked, "Is there anywhere you want to go?"

Lee Won Ho, "No...I will take you out to eat later so besides there then there is particularly nowhere that I want to go but I will follow you to the places you want to go too."

Alchoen looked to the front and nodded his head.

Squinting his eyes, Lee Won Ho looked at Alchoen and said to himself, "He isn't stuttering anymore."

A/N Sorry! I was helping my family and hurt myself. I ended up hyper-extending my knee and arm, both of which locked up on me afterward. I haven't been able to concentrate that well and have been doing bits and pieces of the story when I can.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Logan was currently cruising at a high altitude in his 'Eagle-flight' which was on autopilot. Logan was currently going over his weapons 'Muramasa' and 'Jackals' as they were prototypes that have yet to be tested. The cases were open in front of Logan. The 'Muramasa' sword was singled edged blade with a gentle curve to it, the blade being bright pearl white seemed unreal. The handle was metal with a curved cover and trigger at the guard. The sheath was mat black with a gun-like mechanism at the top of it. Inside the case was several thin tube-like containers that glowed like a rainbow. After he was through checking the sword, Logan turned to the 'Jackals'.  They were a set of twin... hand-cannons to say the least about them. One appeared to be a magnum semiautomatic pistol that had no clear place were sliding parts could be seem, it was if it was one piece (think of a desert eagle with no clear indication of were the slide is), labeled 'Jack'. The other was a revolver with a long 18 inch (45.72cm) barrel, vented at the end, with an decagon (10) cylinder chamber, labeled 'Jessie'. Both of them were colored simply in gunmetal grey. As he was taking them apart, Logan got a call on his scroll, he quickly sent it to his visor.

Logan: "Hey Tai, what's up? Did I forget something?"

Tai: "Hey Logan, did you take Nagini with you? I can't seem to find her. She always comes when I call Zwei, but she isn't here."

As if on cue, Logan's started moving and chirping sounds start emanating from his bag. Soon a reptilian head poked out from the bag and then followed by a body. A armadillo girdled lizard with wings crawled out, usually they're small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, this one was at least two times larger and three times longer then normal. This golden colored lizard was Nagini, Logan's pet and local pest chaser for Tai and his garden. Nagini gave a cute yawn and a small flame emerged from her mouth.

Logan: "Found her. She was asleep in my bag. I'll deal with her and see what I can do."

Tai: "Okay, but knowing her, she'll try to fight and stay by you. She does have separation anxiety, and she hardly leaves your side or anything with your scent on it. I'm just worried about her at the school, I don't know what they'll do."

Logan: "I'll figure something out. Hmm? Gotta go, almost to the school. See ya."

Tai: "Be good, stay safe, and 'NO' more teaching classes. I don't need another call saying that you replaced another teacher. See ya."

As Logan got off the call, he lightly patted Nagini's head and told her to stay. Taking of his jacket, boots, shirt, and pants; he started putting on the 'Stalker' armor. Starting with the fabric he made and calls 'dura-coth'; the first part covers his torso which looks like a tight, fitted turtle neck, then he puts on dark pocketed pants, and then similar colored boots. Once he was done, he started strapping on the metal armor beginning with his legs. Logan's boot's, shin's, and knee's were covered by a dark blue/grey metal that covered most of the lower part of his legs. His thighs were also covered in a similar fashion to the lower part of his legs, on his right thigh was a metal case labeled P.A.K.; on his left was a leather holster that he put 'Jack' in.

Logan reached down into the 'Stalker' armor case and pulling out a thick, black leather belt and chest-rig. While the chest-rig had a holster for 'Jessie' under the left arm, the belt had fastenings that could pivot and turn for 'Muramasa' on his hip. As he went to strap the chest armor on, Logan heard a couple of chirps from Nagini. As he turned to look, armor still in hand, Nagini had gone and made a nest from Logan's discarded clothes. Logan continued smiling at Nagini's behavior, and strapped his armor. Once he finished, Logan grabbed the armor's cloak from the case, this cloak was the central piece of the armor; by running a electrical current through the cloak renders any who wears it invisible. Afterwards, Logan pulled several pouches that he clipped to his belt, and his helmet which looks like a simple face mask with a red visor and and the helmet it attaches to. After deciding to forgo the helmet for now, he attaches the armor's bracers to his arms. The right was a metal bracer that covered up till the elbow with a large bar that protruded out, away from the body, while the left had a LED screen under the forearm that could rotate up and form a holographic touch screen.

Once he was done, Logan placed 'Muramasa' on his hip and walked over to his bag with his helmet. As he knelled down, Nagini chirped, ran up and climbed on to his shoulder and perched there. Picking up his discarded articles of clothing and shoving them into his bag with his helmet, Logan got ready to disembark as his ship arrived at Beacon. Giving a once-over of himself, Logan made sure that he forgot nothing and disembarked.

As he left the ship and watched as it took off back to the house, the first thing he saw was a girl in red fall into a pile of luggage. Smiling, Logan began walking over to Ruby who was now getting yelled at by a pale girl in white. As he approached he could hear her scream at poor Ruby.

Pale girl: "Do you have any idea of the damage you could have caused!?"

Ruby: "uhh..."

P.G: "Give me that! This is Dust mined and purified from the Schnee Quarry."

Ruby: "uhh..."

P.G: "What are you, brain dead? Dust! Fire, Water, Lighting, Energy!

Ruby: "UHH.. UHH..."

P.G: "Are you even listening to me!? Is any of this sinking in!?"

The pale girl was shaking a fire Dust bottle around, Logan who saw the red hue that formed around them quickly jumped into action, while Nagini saw and understood what was happening hide herself inside of Logan's cloak. Dashing over to them, Logan pinched Ruby's nose and grabbed the pale girl's hand that held the Dust bottle. Surprising the both of them, the pale girl was the first to recover, but before she could speak, Logan cut her off while staring directly at her.

Logan: "As much as I would like for you to resolve this yourselves, your Dust bottle is open and going everywhere. If I didn't stop you two just now, you'd would have blown yourselves off the cliff. Now be nice and do NOT shake that bottle anymore and I will help you collect all the scattered Dust."

The pale girl went wide-eyed at what Logan had said. As she looked around, she realized he was right and that they very nearly did as the air was now red and the bottle was almost empty. She simply nodded her head and Logan let go of her while Ruby struggled not to sneeze. Logan took his free hand and used his wind to quickly gather all the scattered Dust in the air and formed it into a small ball that hovered in his hand. As Logan released Ruby's poor nose, she finally sneezed and looked at Logan.

Logan: "Bless you, Ruby."

Ruby: "Thank you, Logan."

P.G: " You two know each other?"

Logan: "Yes, she is my sister, Ruby Rose. And I am Logan Tenebris. And you are?"

The pale girl was a caught little off guard by Logan's manners, but quickly recovered. Doing a simple yet elegant bow of her head she said:

Weiss: "I am Weiss Schnee, the heiress of the Schnee Dust Company. I hate to break it to you but your sister was the one who caused this mess."

Ruby: "I didn't mean to! I was pushed by some students who were in a rush!"

Weiss: "Likely story! Your just a clumsy girl who fell.

???1: "Actually, I saw it happen."

???2: "What she said was true, she was pushed."

The two new voices chimed in for Ruby's defense. One was a messy, blonde haired, dark blue eyed boy with fair skin. Wearing a black short-sleeved hoodie with detached reddish-orange sleeves, a white diamond-shaped chest plate cut off above his lower abdomen, and placed over his shoulders are a pair of white spaulders with rerebraces set under them. He also is wearing blue jeans with a white patch placed on the left knee and black sneakers, two belts crisscrossing his waist, both different shades of brown, with a pair of small pouches on them, brown wrist-length finger-less gloves and small metal plates over the back. His weapon of chose seems to be a sword. While the other was a woman. She is fair skinned with ashen-black wavy hair tied back with a black bow and amber eyes. She wears a black buttoned vest with coattails, a single silver button could be seen on the front. Underneath this is a white, sleeveless, high necked, crop undershirt and white shorts with a zipper on the front of each leg, black low-heeled boots, full stockings with a color fade of black to purple at her ankles, and what appears to be her emblem on each of her stockings in white. Her left arm was covered with a detached sleeve with a silver cuff around her bicep to her wrist, while both of her forearms had ribbons wrapped around them. And a loose black scarf was around her neck.

girl: "I saw it happen. She was indeed push by some passing students who were rushing."

boy: "I saw it too. She really didn't mean it."

Weiss: " And who are you?"

Jaune: " Jaune Arc!"

Blake: "Blake."

Logan: "Thank you for saying something in my sister's defense. If you didn't hear me the first time, I'm Logan and this here is my sister, Ruby."

Ruby: "Thank you."

Jaune: "No problem. I seen what happened and I just wanted to help when I heard the fight. But I gotta say, your fast, I could barely see you move."

Blake: "I had a hard time tracking you move...as... well? Hey, you have a lizard on your shoulder."

Nagini had felt the danger pass and had climbed back out. She now sat proudly on Logan's shoulder. And was currently watching Weiss, similar to that of a predator watching it's prey.

Logan: Oh! Sorry, this is Nagini, she's my pet, Golden-armadillo lizard. Due to her semblance, she grew larger then normal. She's here because she was asleep in my bag without me knowing. I know you usually find them in Vacuo, but she was shipped as an 'Exotic' pet. When I found her, she was trashing the pet store that had her. As I was the only one that could get near her, she was given to me as they couldn't keep her."

Weiss: "Why is it staring at me?"

Logan: "She is a little overprotective of me, as she sees me as her best friend sense most of them are very social creatures. Here's your dust by the way."

After returning the dust, Weiss left as she had no business here anymore. Blake watched her walk off until she remembered Logan's previous introduction. Nagini, however, kept her eyes on her until she disappeared.

Blake: "Originally, you said 'Logan Tenebris' ,right? Then that would make you the maker of the 'Eagle-flight' shuttles, as well as the up and coming 'Aspiring Young Hunter-in-training' who foiled Roman Torchwick."

Jaune: "Two things; One, you fought Roman Torchwick? Two, what's 'Eagle-flight'?"

Ruby: "I was with him during that fight with Roman! I kick all his goon's buts! Yet he gets all the credit for it! All he did was get one lucky shot!"

Logan: "Sorry about her, she sensitive about that, as she was the one who fought Roman first and most of his goons. All I did was stop those who were trying to escape with stolen Dust. And she is right with the lucky shot as well. As for 'Eagle-flight', it's a small 5-6 person shuttle that is affordable to anyone regardless of were they're from, human or faunus. I just made a prototype and was testing it and my town asked if I can make them one if they payed me. I had to patent it so that others could make them without dealing with a lot of paperwork and lawyers. It only started about a year and a half ago, so it's not surprising that you hadn't heard of it. If anything, I embarrassed that it's getting so big."

As Logan talked to Jaune about what he did. Ruby was basically fuming with annoyance. Blake, however, looked at whim with approval.

Blake: {'He's not arrogant nor self-centered, also humble. He's trained as well, I could barely follow him when he rushed to Ruby's aid. Even his semblance is quite strong. Wind manipulation is it? Potent for offense and defense, if he has incorporated in into his fighting style, he could be unstoppable. Best to be careful around him; he could be the best ally or worst enemy.'}

Blake excused herself and left, leaving Jaune, Ruby, and Logan. After talking for a little longer, the trio then left for the auditorium. While Nagini had climbed to the top of Logan's head and fell asleep sunbathing as they walked.

We found Narchean in his chambers, he was operating on himself, taking a power nap (literally) many cords lay across the floor like snakes slithering as energy pulsed through them, feeding into Narchean's suit. We hit the button signifying that he was needed. This would notify him to wake up. Dellano and I stood outside the door and waited. "Maybe it is best that you are not wearing that jacket when you meet Narchean," I told Dellano
  "No," he said "I must trust all of you for anyone else to trust me. I will wear the jacket." Narchean calmly walked out, wearing a slimmer stripped down version of his armor under a suit jacket. His taste was interesting and never seemed to completely fit together. On top of his armor he had a bright pink tie slung around his neck, still untied.
"Why do you even try?" I asked him as he walked towards us, of course, he ignored me and walked over towards Dellano. 
"Who's the new guy?" He asked looking at Delano, studying him carefully. He leaned in to look closer when he saw the red surge symbols. "A leader of a small squadron I see. No military medals. I can see that you were not very good. In any case, I accept you into the gray surge. Jaku, get him some new gear and find him some quarters."
As we walked away I spoke to Dellano. "that went surprisingly well. I am honestly a bit surprised."
 "It's only because I'm bad at everything," Dellano said.
"Yes yes it is." we walked down to the armory where he replaced his red coat with a firm leather gray jacket. 
Given our selection of weapons, he selected the standard issue M7 pistol with a silencer and extended scope. He also picked up some night vision goggles. For actual armor, he picked up lightweight chest piece with short distance thrusters. As the short distance thrusters packed quite a punch, he chose shock resistant boots and gloves, using no other leg or arm armor. This according to him would help him survive falls and dodge attacks better than usual. I also gave him a dagger, just in case. 
I left him to repaint or personalize the armor set in any way he wanted. I went up to my room and lay down on my bed, staring at the ceiling. I thought about what Narchean was doing, I didn't quite understand. He had a theory that by pumping a certain type of energy into your body you could become more alert and have amplified abilities. I wasn't quite sure what type of energy this was, but it sounded very useful.
I shut my eyes. And sleep overtook my tired body. The next thing I knew, Dellano was knocking on my door. My alarm clock was going off as well.
I heaved myself with heavy arms off my bed. Slowly stumbling around on my way to the door. I opened it and let Dellano in.
When Dellano saw the state of me as well as my room he started laughing. "You look hungover and your room looks like that of a 15-year-old. 
"Yeah. Yeah. Laugh it up. I feel hungover too. Unfortunately, I didn't have any alcohol, I just am completely deadbeat."
I looked at the new paint job on Dellano's armor. It was pink and gray. With highlights on the old half rusted grills on the blocky boosters. And a black accent on the triangular main chest piece.
The boosters looked like clipped wings sprouting from a choppy metal back. There were vents all over the sad dinged up armor. 
Dellano wasn't complaining though, as it fits exactly what he wanted.
He would use the one thing he was good at, climbing and running. This would allow him to get into places and be our eyes on whatever we needed. This would be a very useful thing, provided that he could do it correctly.
"Tonight we drink," I told Dellano, but tomorrow "be prepared for your first official mission." I reached for a bottle of vodka, good vodka, that was hidden in my cabinet next to my bed. " let us just hope everything will be fine."

it's sort of a cross between sci-fi and fantasy just to  give you an idea.
This book is a story that takes place in a distant world, focusing on three friends leading a group of people who just want to survive amidst the planet-wide faction wars going on.
thank you to Shadox for editing a few chapters of my book (i think)
I am not sure how often chapters will come out. 
my writing is not great but I enjoy writing this, and I hope that by writing this my writing will improve.

Li Du was laughing at Da Mao at first, but then he got unto the dirt track as well. He flew from the motorcycle and almost lost his breath when he fell.
"This damn rotten road!" He could not help swearing.
Liu Zi chuckled and said, "Pretty good, young master Li. If it was raining, I would say that with your motorcycle-driving skills, you would die halfway."
In an hour, they drove less than ten kilometers. They had to push the motorcycle up certain parts of the road because the slope was too steep.
The road was full of dust. There was a lot of dust around all the sites. It was the inevitable result of mining the ore and digging the land. A thick layer of dust would be accumulated after a long time of such activity.
The most annoying thing was, stones were often hidden beneath the layer of dust and dirt. People might think that the dirt would reduce the impact and it would hurt less when they fell from the motorcycle. However, there could be stones on the road, waiting for the luckless riders.
On the way, they came across a fleet of land rovers, all of which were so bulky that the cars couldn't make it and were stuck halfway.
When Li Du and his men appeared, someone came forward to stop them and bowed low while he said something unintelligible in an agitated voice.
"Korean." Zhong Dapao stopped. "Is there anyone who speaks Chinese or Myanmar?"
Next to the man who bowed was the guide, who spoke Myanmar and could communicate with Zhong Dapao.
Listening to the other side, Zhong Dapao sneered. "Buy our motorcycle? In your dreams, pal. Actually, if you are willing to pay a hundred thousand dollars per unit, we are willing to negotiate."
The guide looked sulky and said a few more words.
Zhong Dapao guffawed, turned to Li Du and said, "This fella is trying to bully us. He doesn't know the identity of Master Pao."
Liu Zi lifted his jacket, revealing an Uzi submachine gun.
The guide and the Korean man trembled and hurriedly backed off to the side of the road.
This was just a small incident, and they continued their journey. After wading and crossing hills and passing several checkpoints, they finally saw Damakan, which looked like a stockade-surrounded village.
Zhong Dapao said that the market in Damakan did not have many quality goods, and took Li Du directly to the market to see the small private stalls, where the good stones that were mined by the bosses usually ended up.
Damakan was not the same as Longken and Old Hpakant. The market there was less crowded and was mostly based on the mine as a unit, which was one of the reasons why Zhong Dapao wanted to take Li Du into the mine.
The first stop was called Arakan mine. The villages there served as living quarters for the miners following the discovery of jadeite veins.
Entering the mine, they stopped the car. A few of them stayed back to look after the car and the weapons. The others went past the security at the entrance of the mines and got in.
"Arakan is an old mining area. It has mostly been depleted. People make a living by picking up jade fragments left by the miners," explained Zhong Dapao.
Li Du said, "Then why did we come here?"
Zhong Dapao said, "Don't worry, there are very few intact jade stones here, but there are many good fragments. Look at these fragments, what do you think about them?"
There were tall and short buildings in the mining area, in addition to the teahouse, restaurant, and red-light district. Most of the houses had shelves in front of them, and on the shelves were ore fragments.
Li Du looked at it and nodded. "Is this a fragment of ore? How can almost all of them have jade? Yes, the color of the stone is good, and the base is bright… not bad, not bad."
Zhong Dapao said, "Yes, all these pieces of ore are like this. So you can imagine how fine the quality of this mine was before."
He paused a little and then continued, "We can see if we could gain a little from these little things. If we can't, I would contact a few private markets. The private market has stones that were mined before, and the quality is very fine!"
Da Mao stood in front of a shelf and examined it carefully. Then he raised a fragment of stone the size of a baby's fist and asked, "How much is this, boss?"
"Fifty bucks," said the owner, who was smoking a hookah calmly.
Da Mao was stunned. "It's very cheap. What unit is that?"
"Dollars. Damakan has a lot of foreigners, so they use the American dollar as a currency," said Zhong Dapao.
Da Mao rubbed the stone fragment and said, "Ok, buying this seems like a good investment. We could get some jade. This kind of water source stone would cost at least 500 dollars in Ruili."
The stone he had picked up was broken and showed some light green, which proved that there must be jade inside, but the thickness and texture of the jade were unknown.
Jade ore was not necessary valuable if there was green on the outer side. Otherwise, betting on stone would be too simple. There were many stones which were green outside but, once milled, produced no jade.
Some stones showed a little green in their raw state, and a bit more green when they were milled, but it was a layer of green mist which was fundamentally worthless.
The raw material in Da Mao's hands was not bad. There was jade inside, with normal texture and thickness. However, the more they milled the stone, the more clearly it showed an emerald green jade hue. Da Mao's eyes were sharp and he did not judge wrong.
Li Du said, "Buy it, pick the stones which are less than 1000 USD as you wish. I'll pay for it, count it on me if it is a loss, and we will divide the profit if it is a rise."
This was an offer that was impossible to deny. Da Mao was ecstatic, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Master Li, thank you."
Li Du selected a piece of stone too. It had been cut and showed a waxy blue pattern, which looked very beautiful.
"How much is this stone?" he asked.
The boss looked and said, "400 dollars."
Liu Zi looked stunned. "Four hundred?" he repeated in a low voice. "I would say four million!"
This stone was big. The Damakan stones were commonly just a few kilograms, but this piece probably weighed ten kilograms.
When green was seen during the bet, the bigger stone would always be more valuable, because a bigger stone meant a bigger possibility to cut out a large piece of jade, and the jade price was often related to the size. When the size doubled, the price would grow tenfold!
Da Mao approached for a closer look, then took out a strong flashlight and shone on the stone. He sneered and said, "Ha, waste stone, this is used to cheat laymen."
Zhong Dapao asked, "This stone is a waste even though it has a nice color and texture?"
Da Mao rolled his eyes and said, "Master Pao, come and take a look. It is opaque, and what does it mean? It's not jade inside, it's plain stone. It's been cut away from the other side, and this is just the outer layer of the jade."
Zhong Dapao and Liu Zi looked again, then realized he was right.
Da Mao said confidently, "This stone has obviously been here longer than a day or two. Why is it so cheap but no one buys it? Because after looking at it, everyone knows that the stone is worthless."
Li Du put down the stone casually, then gave Brother Wolf a wink.
While no one was looking, Brother Wolf paid four hundred dollars and collected the stone.
Da Mao did not judge wrongly, it was just that he had no see-through eyes. What he said was right, this layer of waxy bluestone surface was a jade outer layer, but there was still a waxy blue emerald jade hidden in it. It weighed at least 4500 grams, which would come up to the value of ten million!


They love gold, and they love silver. Even more so, they love gems that dazzle, like stars across the skies. 
Firearms, jewelleries, and precious metals; A collector’s world will not be complete without antiques.  
Storage auctions, old goods trade, re-estate sales and gold-digging. But the truth is, if one wants to make money, then the supreme way is through searching for the legendary treasures. 
Holding the fort, there’s an ocelot, a wolf, and an Andes condor. At the side, there’s a loyal hound, an irascible ape, and an African honey badger. Who said that you can only rely on humans when treasure hunting?! 

Hanna sheepishly took Lisa's hand and stood up. Lisa smiled approvingly and then shouldered her coffin again. 

"I sorry you had to see me kill them." Lisa spoke softly to Hanna. "I hope you can forgive me."

Hanna slowly shook her head. "I'm ok." 

Her dark tan face was slightly paler than normal, but Lisa could tell Hanna was a strong girl. After fighting in so many battles herself, Lisa had grown numb to seeing death and she had seen many of her allies become as well. Hanna seemed no different. She too was seemingly growing numb. Unfortunately, a child should never become this way. 

Lisa shook her head to dispel these thoughts and started forward towards home. Hanna quietly followed close behind. The two were about to leave when Lisa suddenly remembered something very important. 

"Awe come on!" Lisa said giving an audible moan. "Hanna, I cannot believe I made a mistake."

Hanna looked up at Lisa confused. "What mistake?" She asked. 

"I forgot to bet on the fight for a powered computer or laptop. Now I can't read the blueprints!" Lisa said shaking her head. 

"That is unfortunate." Hanna replied quietly. 

"Oh well." Lisa said as she took a step forward. "Guess I better do it next time. Everyone makes mistakes." Then the two continued to head back home. 

The two women were going to cross back through the market area again to go back home. This time however, Lisa went down a different side road just to see the rest of the market before they returned. The road was the same as any other, trashy, wet and market stalls scattered on both sides. 

They were passing the last run-down stall when something familiar caught her eye. It was a grey plastic square corner of what might be some electronic device. It was under a stack of books and she almost didn't see it. 

The stall owner was an older woman. She looked about as decrepit as her stall. Lisa eyed the stack of books and asked if she could look at it. The old lady nodded looking happy that she might have a costumer.

Carefully Lisa took off the books to revile the object beneath them. Her eyes sparkled seeing her find. It was a small laptop!  

Carefully and with some hesitation Lisa lifted the top of the laptop. There was an audible crunching crackling sound as soon as she did. Lisa could feel her heart clench hearing it. She tried to peak at the screen hoping that it wasn't cracked or ruined. However, she couldn't tell yet. Closing her eyes, she carefully finished raising the laptop top, doing her best to ignore the horrid sound. 

Finishing to raise the top she opened one eye tentatively. The screen was ok! Only one corner was cracked, and the screen had lots of dust and dirt on it. The joints of the laptops lid and bottom must have had a lot of dirt in them. That's what caused the noise. 

Lisa sighed out loud. Next was to see if it worked. Looking down at the keyboard every key was accounted for. The touch pad and selection keys at the bottom of the board also seemed to work. 

Finally, the real test. Was the laptop capable of running? 

Lisa presses the power button gently. Nothing happened. She pressed it again a bit harder. This time there was a slight 'click' noise from the power button. Then the black screen of the laptop suddenly turned dark gray. The sound of a small fan running inside it could also be heard. Then the computer company name appeared on the screen. 

It worked!

Concealing her excitement, as best as she could, Lisa looked at the old woman. 

"I'll give you five dollars for the laptop." Lisa said. 

The old lady didn't budge hearing the price. She calmly folded her arms across her chest and leaned back against the wall behind her. "We both know it's worth more than that. It even runs. One hundred dollars." She replied flatly. 

Lisa sighed in her head. "Let me think for a moment." Lisa said unfazed. Just then the screen changed to a log in page. Seeing it Lisa then asked, "Do you know the password? I can't use it if it's locking me out." 

"I do." The old lady replied with a nod.

"How about twenty-five dollars. It's not like I have any way of charging it any way." Lisa offered. By trying to say it's use would be limited she was trying to negotiate the price to be lowered. A very simple tactic. 

The old lady sighed aloud. "Fifty dollars. I won't go any lower." She grumbled. 

"Deal." Lisa said gently putting the laptop lid down. Then she set it on the old ladies' stall and slipped of her coffin. Since she was in a public area, she was sure to be careful that no one watching them could see the coffins contents. After getting the money from her safe inside the coffin she gave it to the old lady. 

"Pleasure doing business with you." Lisa said giving a smile. 

The old lady did the same. "Like wise."

Turning to go she motioned to Hanna that they were going and then tucked the laptop gently inside her jacket. This way no one would see her valuable possession. 

The wall back home was rather uneventful. The wet roads puddle had shrunken considerably, and the sun occasionally peaked out from behind the clouds. They talked about some of the other things and cloths they had seen in the market, but other than that they walked mostly in silence. 

They arrived back at home far sooner than everyone expected. Lunchtime was still over an hour away. When Joan heard Lisa calling from outside, she had only just started the fire in the garage. 

"Your back really soon." Joan called to the two ladies as they entered the garage entrance. "Did everything go alright?"

"We had a few problems, but we got most everything I need for now."  Lisa replied. Then while watching Joan cook Lisa explained what had happened to them on their trip. Joan looked worried when hearing about the fight with Jackson's Match Fighters but didn't interrupt. Then only once Lisa was done did Joan speak. 

"My goodness that does sound rather like a very exciting trip. It makes my runs there for food sound so boring." Joan said with a sigh. "So, does the laptop work at all?"

"Yep." Lisa said taking out the laptop from her jacket. "I'll try to open the dam's blueprints after we eat."

Just then the rest of the neighbors arrived at Joan's garage. The smell of the soup cooking must have drawn them over. Seeing Lisa and Hanna were already present they asked why. Lisa then had to retell their trip to the market all over again. 

"You actually met one of the Mad Dog gangs' lieutenants?" Benny exclaimed first. "What a lucky break!"

"And you got a laptop." John said joining in. "So, you'll be leaving us soon?"

Lisa nodded slowly. "I still plan to, but only if I can read the blueprints."

"I see. Well at any rate the soup smells done. Let's eat." John replied licking his lips hungrily.

So, everyone had eaten their fill and got comfortable inside the house. Lisa sat alone at the kitchen table and opened the laptop. It creaked loudly again with all the dirt in its joints. She tried to blow the dirt way and managed to get a lot of it out. Then she started it up. 

While waiting for it to load up, she got up and headed over to her coffin that was still in the garage. Inside it mixed in with the electric parts box was the scanner she had taken from the AFR Officer. It had a port on its backside to where she could connect it to the laptop. Fortunately, the two could connect to each other. 

Then after typing in the password that the old lady had given her, did she finally have a chance to see the main screen. Glancing at the battery meter she saw that there was forty eight percent remaining. Plenty of power for the moment. 

Plugging the scanner to the laptop was a simple as it sounded. The file to the scanner's contents opened up immediately after plugging it in. Thankfully there were only three files inside. One was the system files of the scanner. The next one was labeled Random Files and had nothing all that important it when Lisa checked. Then the final file was labeled, Maple Valley Dam Files.

She clicked on it and watched as a loading screen popped up and slowly loaded the files. Then after a minute the files opened. 

Just as she had hoped it was all of the blueprints, schematics, maps and functions of the dam were all there. She could now start her takeover of the dam facility. She rubbed her hands together excitedly and started studying everything about the dam carefully. She could almost feel the money in her hands knowing that it wouldn't be too long before she would get rich from the electricity. 

However, the future would not be that easy as she was soon going to find out.

Several years after major nuclear events, followed by the rise of robotic armies, have caused the world to become post-apocalyptic. The year is 2276 and Earth is now full of anarchy, corruption and death.

5 Years Later... 



It was a beautiful month of June.  Kamikaze grew up to be a young woman of hope, well perhaps. 

Today is a big day for Kami, according to the paperworks, she just got hired from a cool facility in New York, though she never saw this facility before, yet sounds pretty exciting, and she'd get to work as a genetic engineer there. This is a very exciting day for her, she had been waiting for this in her life. 

Right now, she was about to get off the bus, she got used to riding busses nowadays, but sometimes, when she misses her stop, she would go a little cranky.

She got off the bus and took her steps towards the facility looking at the GPS. She took a good look at the building in the picture and faced the establishment in front of her. She gave the establishment a weird face.

The building looks.... Better in the phone
She thought

But it doesn't matter now, she's working here, and work gives her money so she can buy herself a new iPad. Or buy herself a new laptop.

She took steps to the lamppost, across the pedestrian crossing then went through the sliding door.

She paused in front of the door and gazed at her surroundings, after a few moments, she quickly went to the staffs locker. 
When she got there, the locker was pretty quiet, no one was inside but her. She searched for her number, and opened it. Inside, was her white clinic jacket, clinic gown, her ID, stethoscope, glasses. Well, her vision isn't that bad, maybe just in case if her vision starts to blurry so much.

She pulled out her white jacket, ID and wore them confidently. It feels good to finally wear a clinic jacket, like everything feels like a fantasy, having your dream laying on your shoulders is pretty cool. Then comes her ID, she found a mirror in the left corner and looked.

Wow
She thought

She smiled, she was so enlightened. Feeling blessed.

"Ms. Kamikaze Black?" a smooth voice called 
"Oh gosh" startled 
A pretty, wavy-brown haired woman in a white clinic jacket, just like hers, came in the locker room. She was startled, and didn't hear footsteps coming, she turned to look at the woman. 

"Sorry to have startled you" she said and moved closer
" I'm Coral Blakk, I just arrived here 15 minutes ago, the Dr. told me to contact you, but I saw someone walk to the locker room, I had to check it out, and, here you are... You are a bit late though." She said

She studied Kami and thought that she would say a word or something. But nothing came out of her mouth. Instead, Kami just looked at the door behind her then to the mirror. It's getting pretty awkward... Kami didn't know what to do either, she isn't used to socialize other people. She had a hard time doing it, though she was practicing the socializing thing with her cousins at home, greeting guests at home, talking to animals, texting, and chatting. But none of these things worked out for her, she feels really shy when facing other people. She already convinced herself to mingle others, or maybe try it on her first known fellow employee, Coral Blakk. The person with last name sounds like hers. 

" Okay, come with me please. " she said then turned to the door
"I'm Kamikaze Black... Nice to meet you" She said shyly
Coral just smiled at her and went on her way out, and Kami followed her.

"So... I'm taking you to your office then to the clinic where we check people who are with HIV, and that is your job, in that clinic you have everything you need... Test tubes, droppers, magnifying glass, microscope, you name it, I mean everything is in there, all it is left are patients and a doctor. "
" Doctor? But I thought I was gonna examine heredity and variations, or do crossbreeding and stuff. " Kami asked
" Well, seniors actually do that, but you are gonna test HIV positive patients. " Coral replied
Kami felt a little disappointed at this, she really wanted to work on DNAs and crossbreed something, she might produce something cool. But she needs to follow the facility rules. She just hoped that she would be a senior soon so that she can create hybrid stuff. 
The two went up to the 5th floor in the elevator to get to the office.
 The facility looks pretty big, every corner is very clean and white. Decorated with pretty indoor plants, and a few posters about health and medicine in every corner. There are waiting area with few people getting in line, while waiting, they are reading books or weekly magazines from the mini library. The window looks nice too, with the floaty blue curtains and cute pink flowers on it. The facility is not bad after all.

"Okay, office no. 46. This is all yours, you are assigned for this one." Coral said as she hands her the key to the office. "And also if you find a blue colored folder in there, give it to Doctor Maxwell, he's the secretary. And his office is located in 7th floor, no. 57. After you give it to him, I'll be waiting at the nearby lobby to lead you to the clinic. See you later then" then she walks away.

Kami looked at the key and then to her office door, it looks a bit dusty, but Its gonna be fine, maybe. There is a silver bar in the top middle of the door with the name on it that says 'Doctor Pendragon'. Well, must be the last owner of the office. Did he die? Or was he retired?, Kami should stop thinking about it coz it's making her head hurt. She placed the key into the keyhole and turned it and so the door opened.

 Kami's eyes widen. The place is a total mess! It's like it's been empty for ages. Well the bookshelf is empty, the cabinets, the side table, the furnitures are covered with webs, the window is even horrifying! Her heart almost broke at this image, Kamikaze hates dirty places, it makes her sick. There is a mirror in the left corner and you can't even see yourself in it because of the thick dust. Great, just great.

She sighed and quickly looked for the blue folder. She looked in the cabinet, all she found there was cobwebs. The side table, nothing. There's this table with a sliding hutch, she looked at it and wants to opem it. She hold the handle and pulled it. Good, she found the blue folder, and it's the only thing in this office without dust. She wondered how many months this office was empty, well maybe for years. She quickly got out and went to 7th floor no. 57.


10 hours later... 

It's already 5:15 pm and it's home time. The sun is setting, a smooth breeze was blowing and leaves danced with the wind. Kami is in front of the building, the day was pretty tough for her, and the people seemed to be pretty sensitive of her. Well, it is her first day, tomorrow will be better, let's just forget about the what happened earlier. At least she had her job, and she is happy for it, even if people are sometimes stingy.
 
On her way home, Kami is at the bus stop, standing right there waiting for the bus. It would take a little longer for the bus to come, she just looked at the view of the city, some of the lights are turned on, and pedestrians passing by the lanes, getting taxis, and university students walking with their group on their way home. Kami likes this kind of image, it makes her feel alive. 
She shaked her head to come back to reality, and glanced at her both sides, then her bag seems to virbrate. She took her phone and saw that someone texted her. 

Junjae: Noona, Are you on the way?

She swiped her screen and tapped the messages to reply. 

Kamikaze: Yes Junjae, just waiting for the bus now. 

She pressed the send button and was about to put the phone in the bag, until another vibration was felt. So she checked it out. 

Justine: Unnie, hurry home :(                                    

Kami took few glances to her sides, in case if the bus is on the way. She looked back at the phone and typed a message.
 
Kamikaze: Okay, on my way.

She sent the message and looked to her side and saw the bus coming. It stopped and the door opened, there were 3 people ahead of her so she was the fourth to get in. 

She sat two seats away from the door, and then looked at the window. The mood was a bit peaceful to her, as she looked at the sky, a song suddenly played on her mind, it went along the mood pretty well. 

When she got down from the bus, Kamikaze saw someone standing near the bus stop, the person looks very familiar to her, she can't make it out because of the dark, but she knew that this was someone she know. 

"Junjae?" she called 
The person looked ate her and noticed a smile. 

"Noona!" the person called
He gave her a warm hug and let go. 

"What are doing here Junjae? It's dark already." Kami told him

" Well, Judy told me that I should pick you from here." He said rubbing his neck

"Oh well... Let's go" she said

The both of them crossed the street then went home. It wasn't really their home, the three of them rented it on a low price since the house was pretty old, but everything still works. 

"How was first day?" Junjae asked

"I.... It was fine... Okay to make it certain." she answered 

" Okay? Noona, you should be answering 'great' I know there something fishy." He complained 

" ummm" she paused, didn't know what to say 

"Come on Noona, we're cousins, we lived together like 10 years now. And you always say those words when something happened." Junjae snapped 

Kamikaze didn't know what to say at this, she stared at a nearby tree and thought about what to reply. She didn't know that her cousins already understand her ways, it was a bit awkward for her, she didn't thought that her cousins would understand her. But it kinda feels nice that someone understood you. 

"Well, I just... Have a rough day" she said playing with her hands

"That's okay noona" Junjae sighed "First days are like that sometimes, tomorrow will be better" He convinced 

Kami nodded and went inside the house. Then a girl ran to her and jumped to give her a hug. 

"Unnie!!!!" the girl shouted 

"Judy! You're 19 you still act like a child" Junjae teased

The girl's eyebrow narrowed, and skipped towards Junjae and choked him with her arm. 

"Akkk! Judy! Okay okay, you win sis!" Junjae yelled

"That'll teach you!" Judy said then lets go of him

"That'll teach you" Junjae mimicked 
"I heard you!" Judy said

Kamikaze laughed at them, they still act childish sometimes, It's feels great to have sights like this. 

"Let's have supper, tonight's dishes are Bulgogi, rice, and were having samgyopsal. " Justine said with a smile

"Ahh, now I'm hungry!" Junjae exclaimed 

"Are you okay with the dish unnie?" Judy asked

"Yes, I feel like eating them, and I missed Korean food" Kami said
 
"Splendid! Noona lets have some Coke or Sprite with that" Junjae said to Kami 
"Okay" 

The three of them went inside the house and ate their supper happily. 
"jal meokgesseumnida!" the three of them said altogether as they dive in for the food. They usually say it to show appreciation to the cook, that they will have a nice meal.
