Yesh! This ones is more action packed! There's some knife throwing action happening. Haha. Enjoy!

Before I even have a chance to question our location, it realize this is kanda sense's office. Why are we here? I think I'll do less talking and more watching though. I've been getting ahead of myself here. Kanda takes us in and pretty much covers Toki and Ogami's wounds, but something seems off about Ogami. He's breaking out in a sweat since we got here and kanda has been whispering stuff in his ear and looking at me. Are they talking about me? Honestly, I'm not feeling to good myself, and is it me, or is the room getting colder? "Is it me, or is the room getting a little chilly?" I whisper through chattering teeth right when Kanda takes off her jacket, revealing her tank top underneath. Ok, I'll take that as just me. "Really? I'm sweating it's so hot in here." Sakura exclaims, but Toki and kanda look at me while Ogami's trying to keep his gaze on me, but I can see his eyes close in pain. He may not show it, but I think he's getting sick. "Why are you guys looking at me?" I speak with as much authority as my shivering body would allow, but none said a word. The looks to me as if they were denying something, as if something were to happen, it would have happened by now. But then again, I've never really been good at reading lips. Kanda wraps her jacket around me and instantly I feel better. Maybe I'm just a sensitive temperate person. On the way out, Kanda takes me by the shoulder and I motion for Sakura to take them while I catch up. She's taking my power zapping moment kind of well, then again, she's seen enough of it with Toki and Ogami. OR she's just waiting for the right moment to snap. Ha, nah, not Sakura. Anyway, I make sure kanda knows She has my full attention and that she can continue. "Listen olive, something is going on with Ogami." She struggles for words, not knowing how to say what she has to say. Maybe she doesn't think I'm ready? "I noticed that. Is he coming down with something? He was breaking into heavy sweats. Then again, I just fingered it was because he was hit." I do my famous thinking man pose while actually considering my worry of sickness nothing. "No, we'll, it's that to. You're right, he's coming down with a cold that'll make it very difficult for him to do anything. He's gone lost." Lost. That word..... Familiar in a different sense. Why does it feel like I know what she's about to say. "Lost." I repeat, letting the word with the new meaning roll of my tongue. Kanda nods her head before studying me. "I know that word." I chirp stupidly. Duh, of course, everybody knows the word. My cheeks turn a light shade of pink and I rub the back of my neck while attempting a small chuckle.Laughing, kanda nods again. "I know what you meant. You know, you used to do that all the time. Nervous habit I guess." Then she points at my hand on my neck. "Haha yeah I guess. Ogami said that to." I look at the ticking clock behind kanda and freak out. The fifteen minute conversation felt like five minutes. I rush out the door, waving my goodbye and snuggling into he jacket she let me borrow. The entire way home I think about the fact that the way Ogami and Toki are now wasn't how I expected them to meet my parents. I reach the house to find mom and dad in the kitchen, but one I walk in, all eyes are on me. I know what's coming. "So, Sakura brought. Home some boys a few minutes ago. Which one are you aiming for? Mom giggles, holding a wooden spoon. Dad plays along, telling he to shoot for Ogami, but he just described him as the black haired tall dude. I explain that they're just friends and that that's the whole reason we brought them home, but they wouldn't have it. The chill is back even with the jake met, so I excuse myself from my parents prying and scurry up the stares to Ogami Toki and Sakura. Shutting the door behind me, I turn to again find all eyes on me. Amazing. Hear the sarcasm? "I'm guessing mom and dad put you through the questioning session to?" Sakura speaks up first. Man, Ogami really looks terrible. Knowing him, I'm surprised he hasn't told us he's going home yet. Does that mean.... "Yep Sakura, they did and let me tell ya, it wasn't easy convincing them we're just friends. Dad kept telling me to shoot for you Ogami." I joke, waiting for a smirk, a scowl, any kind of reaction besides his usual stone face... Or the one he's carrying now. It's barely noticeable, but his eyes are shut tighter then normal and he's laying on his back covered up. "Guess he's not in the honking mood. Toki." I switch victims as his head flies to my direction. Funny how he hasn't said anything about my little joke. "Are you two supposed to be here?" Laughing, he nods. "Well duh, you tel invited us." I roll my eyes. Wow, haven't done that in a while. "You know what I mean Toki. YOUR boss obviously knows that we know about you. Why not get rid of us already? Unless you're here to study us." I conclude, amazed that something like that could come from my mouth. His eyes narrow playfully and that smirk sticks. "Never could get anything passed you olive. Remember that time I tried to sneak a cigarette past you?" He tries to change topics, but since I'm the master in the art, I know when somebody is taking a crack at it. "Cut the crap Toki and give me a yes or no." Serious, our gazes are evenly matched in the studying each other mode. Eventually Toki caves in. "Yes, so? You're an assignment just as much as you are a friend. Eden found out about you and wants you back. My guess is he wants something over Hitomi's head. Your brothers a free spirit after all. But he doesn't want you unless you remember who you are. That's why we need to keep the fact that your remembering things a secret from him. As far as he knows, you've lost them forever until we're back into your lives. As long as you don't know anything, your safe." WOW. That's got to be the longest speech Toki has ever given me. I don't know what to say, so I just sit on the floor, staring weirdly at Toki. Nobody talks until puppy breaks the silence with a bark ing the leap of faith into my arms, licking my face. "Puppy." I giggle, getting her away from my face. With a sigh, I again try to process what Toki told me. "I think I'll need a good nights sleep to process that. Embarrassed that I actually need time to think about those words, I rub the back of my neck, again having somebody comment on in. Toki to be exact. "Looks like somebody is embarrassed. Your so obvious about it." Ugh. I curse myself for giving them to much about myself. Stuff that I don't even know until they call me on it. "Yeah yeah whatever." Night expands across the evening skies, getting darker and darker every time the sun sinks deeper into the earth. Wow, I could be a poet with that line. I contemplate being edger Allen Poe when puppy wakes me late at night. I sit up, everybody else is asleep. Guess I'll take puppy out then. I take her out the back since walking all the way back to the front door would be a waste of time and when you gotta go, you gotta go. It takes a few seconds for puppy to go, and just as she makes her return into the house, she starts barking. That's when I take notice to a flashing shadow in the darkness. Puppy comes racing towards me when a hand grips my shoulder, pulling me away from the door, hand smothering my scream. "Shhh." It's Ogami shushing me. He points to the door he just pulled me away from and I find two very sharp looking throwing knives engrave wholes in the back door. Shock turns to worry because I know Ogami isn't in a very good state right now. Kanda told me he can't use his powers, so how can he protect himself now? "So underneath that cold exterior is a kitten after all huh?" I know this isn't a good moment for teasing, but I can't help it. "What?" He whispers, truly wondering where that came from. "Saving me doesn't seem like something on you to do list." As those words leave my lips I think of what Toki told me before. That I'm just another assignment. "It's not, your so random When getting in trouble I don't have time to make a list." Hah, look at that, Ogami isn't limited to smart ass serious remarks and cruel talk. Who knew the guy could joke around. "Come out Olive and Sakura Sakura. Destiny calls." The shadow calls once puppy is sadly inside the house. It sounds like a woman calling. So destiny calls huh? I thought sleep was calling me. Is sleep what destiny feels like. I'm tempted to ask Ogami just for the fun of it, but determine the time not fit for more bad humor. "Who are you." Ogami answers for me since I'm slow with communication at the moment. Sleep can do a number on somebody. Not that I've ever tried any drug, but I've seen people use it and my guess is deprived sleep is worse then getting drunk. "Fool, bring me Sakura Sakura and Olive Sakura or pay a dear price." I roll my eyes. That's what they all say. Wait, Ogami is defenseless. Might want to listen to the capturer. "Who are you?" I finally get the lady balls to speak up, I step into the light, sure the person can see me now, not even considering the fact she could have more hidden knives. Ogami thinks faster than me ad a gain pulls me back as two more knives join their buddies in the door. Moms gonna kill me. "I'm your worst nightmare." I restrain laughing in the situation considering I almost lost my life twice if it wasn't for Ogami. I think she's watched to many movies to come up with that line. As she does her little rant about how stupid I am, I turn and have a more or less silent conversation with Ogami. "Ogami, what do I do?" I whisper after I've gone brain dead from thinking through possibilities. He looks at me like I've always had all the answers. Hmmm I might have.
