Haruto's P.O.V.

When Tai told me that he was dating Christina, I have to admit that I was a little upset. I think I may actually be jealous if Taisei.

Anyway, Ryoto called all of us together this afternoon. When we were all in the theatre, Ryo told us that the time had come.

"Time for what?" Christina asked.

"Time for step two." Ryoto explained. "We'll prepare until night fall, and then we'll attack."

We planned that Christina would act as a decoy and try to get inside their headquarters. Taisei would maintain a telepathic connection between all five of us. The rest of us will keep an eye out for any danger and tell Christina through the telepathic link that Tai set up.

When nightfall came, Christina wore the regular clothes that she brought from America. The other four of us wore black suits and had half of our faces covered.

"Christina, you nervous?" I asked her before we left.

"No, I'm pacing from excitement." She replied sarcastically.

"Don't worry, we'll make sure nothing happens to you. I'm sure Tai will do anything to protect you, as his girlfriend."

"What?!?" She asked. "That's just a rumor that Tai started. I'd never date a guy like him."

"That's a relief." I sighed.

"Awww, were you jealous?" Christina laughed.

"No!" I retorted. "I just don't want Tai to hurt you, emotionally. You deserve better than him."

The next thing I knew, Christina has wrapped me in a hug and whispered, "I think it's sweet that you are worried about me. And I'd be jealous if you started dating Yuki or anyone else."

"Really?" I asked, hugging her back.

"All right, let's go." Ryo said, entering the courtyard (Christina and I had been out there alone).

"Haruto! Get away from her!" Taisei shouted when he got outside.

Christina and I stopped hugging as I said, "What's the matter Tai? You jealous?"

"Yeah! I told you to stay away from my girlfriend!" Tai replied angrily.

"Taisei Murakami, I am not your girlfriend." Christina intervened.

"I knew it!" Ryoto exclaimed. "But we need to get going."

"Ryo's right." Yuki said.

Christina's P.O.V.

Even though I have only known Haruto for about a month, I think I may have a crush on him. What do I do? Should I tell him? I've never liked a guy before.

Tonight was raining and I was pretending to be lost. I knocked on the door of the assassins supposed hideout. There was an answer almost instantly.
