Connor: Part 1

While walking through the hallways of school, Connor felt like someone was following him. Connor was gonna ignore it when he notice someone running to him and hug him. Connor looks down to see Sally smiling and giggling. "Hey sweetie, how are you going?" Asked Connor. "I'm ok! Where were you? You weren't here yesterday!" Said Sally. "Sorry sweetie, daddy was hunting the man who hurt Rin." Said Connor. "Really? Did you get him?" Asked Sally. "Yes." Said Connor. Sally smiles. Suddenly someone else comes to them. "Sally, your in big trouble!" Said Niko. Connor looks down at her to see she had a guilty face. Connor smirks with a playful look in his eye.

"What did you do?" Asked Connor. "Nothing?" Said Sally. "Your gonna pay for eating my cookies!" Said Niko. Sally jolts, making Connor laugh. "Little cookie thief huh?" Asked Connor. "Pwease no give me away..." Said Sally with a pout and cute eyes, asking to not let her get caught. "Sorry sweetheart, but you stole cookies, you gotta give into your punishment." Said Connor. She playfully screamed as he lift her up and over his shoulder. "Daddy noo! She'll be maaad!" Said Sally. "So what? You stole something that wasn't yours, you atta apolegise or else." Said Connor. She pouts more, kicking and punching Connor playfully, making him laugh.

"Nikooo, I got your cookie thief~." Said Connor. She yelped as she turns to see Niko running to them. "No! Daddy please! I'll give you hugs and kisses always! Just please let me goo!" Said Sally. "Sorry pumpkin, but you were naughty, you gotta get punishment." Said Connor. She pouts as Niko got to them. "You caught the cookie thief! Good job!" Said Niko. She playfully slapped Connor's stomach, which hit his bullet wound and Connor growls in pain, holding it. "Oh! Sorry, was that too hard?" Asked Niko. Connor smiles at her. "N-No, I'm ok..." Said Connor. Sally looked at Connor worried. "Daddy, you said, you went after the person who hurt mama Rin...did they hurt you?" Asked Sally.

Connor makes a small jolt, hearing her and realising she and Niko will figure it out and worry again. "Connor..." Niko muttered. "I'm ok...trust me this is nothing, your slap was just unexpected." Said Connor. "Even so..." Niko muttered. Connor put Sally down and Connor smiles. "It's really ok you two." Said Connor. Niko suddenly lift his shirt, revealing his stomach and saw that Connor had two patches, in the middle of his stomach while the other was on his side. "Connor..." Niko muttered again. "Trust me Niko, I'm ok...its ok." Said Connor. She lowers Connor's shirt and hugged him, which hurt but Connor Ignores it as he hugs back and Sally joined them.

Once it was lunch, Connor and his friends and kids started eating when Sally reached out for Connor's arm and tugged on it, making Connor turn to her. "Yes sweetie?" Asked Connor. "Is your tummy ok daddy?" Asked Sally. "Yeah, its ok." Said Connor. "Does your stomach hurt or something?" Asked Emily. "Actually that reminds me...Connor, why did you have those patches on your stomach." Said Ruby. Connor looks at her before sighing. "I...got hurt." Connor muttered. "What?! What happened?" Asked Yue. Connor took a moment before answering. "I...was shot and stabbed." Said Connor. "What?!" Yelled everyone. Sally suddenly got closer to Connor, hugging his arm.

"Are you ok now? Do you need a doctor?" Asked Sally. Connor smiles at her, patting her head. "It's alright..." Said Connor. "So what happened?" Asked Charlotte. "Rin told me who poisoned her." Said Connor. "Wait really?! Who was it?!" Asked Fuko. "Issei...that's why I wasn't here yesterday, cause I hunted him down...when I found him, we fought and he shot and stabbed me." Said Connor. "Damn...what about now? Is he..." Jason muttered. "Dead? Yeah..." Said Connor. Connor took a bite if his food before noticing someone stomping to him. Connor turns to see Yang. "What did you do to Matsuri?!" Yelled Yang. "Define what you mean." Said Connor. She then out a note, shoving it into his face. "I mean this!" Said Yang. Connor took it and look at it to see what it reads.

"If you wanna see your sister again, bring Connor to the Purple legion for death -Purple legion leader." the note reads. Connor looks down at it, tearing up. "Izeki..." Connor muttered. Yang grabbed Connor by the collar and yanked him up slightly. "What did you do?! Explain! Now!" Yelled Yang. Ruby suddenly pushed her. Yang went to punch her when she realised it was Ruby.
