Blood and Roses (Karma Akabane)

Chapter 10 - A Friendly Date

- I think you forgot that you have the ball of Mr. Beiming tomorrow at eight. I'm sorry but I can't come with you, Harnold's voice tells me.

- It's okay, I already know who to bring with me.

- Ok, bye!

I close the call and think again about my idea. I think he might say yes. And he won't mind staying with me for another day. I'll have to ask him before we sleep.

Your p.o.v

I start to check some documents on the new students of the class. Ritsu doesn't seem like a danger to anyone but this Itona is raising a lot of suspicious thoughts. I asked Harnold to do some research on him and after a few weeks, I finally received the results. He is, like Koro, a humain used for scientific research. I should really keep an eye on him. I look at the clock and notice that I've been sitting for two hours. Bloody hell! I still need to talk to Karma about the ball thing. I get up and go to my shared room. I knock on the door and when I hear a 'enter', I get in.

- Hey! Redhead, can I ask you a question?

- Of course, shorty. What is it?

- I actually got invited to a ball and Harnold couldn't accompany me. Would you like to stay for another day and be my partner at the event?

- Well, of course!

I smile and then tell him:

- Then you can put your things back in the closet and follow me downstairs for supper.

He smiles and then turns back to his mall.

Timeskip

I am standing looking at my personal plane. All my classmates and my cousins are on it. There's only Redhead left. He is currently standing beside me, drinking his strawberry milk. I turn to look at him and say:

- Ready to go?

- Always, Princess!

I smile and start to walk outside of the airport, Karma on my heels.

We make it to the big manor and get in our chamber. My gaze rests on the bed where several letters lie.

- Did you expect something from someone? Bakabane asks me.

- No, I hope it's not from work.

I get to them and open the first one. Just like I thought, it's about some assassination work. I need to kill a lot of people. I started my list about a week ago and didn't have enough time to kill anyone. An idea pops into my mind and I look at the time. Perfect! We still have a few hours before the event of Mr. Beiming.

- So? What is it? Redhead looked at me, curious.

- It's some work. I need to go but if you want you can come with me?

- Sure!

- Okay, you will need to be prudent because it's dangerous.

- Why? What is it?

- Some killing missions, I reply happily.

He smirks and we get out to the HQ of the L/n Company.

When I open the door to my office, I get in, followed by my pupil. Everything is in place except my desk. A black letter and a black rose lie on my laptop. I never saw this sign before. I smile and go see what's written in it.

I told you once and now I'm doing it again,

If you don't give me your company, I will kill you and all your employees,
