Hiroki's POV:

"Katsuko, I..." I stuttered.

Katsuko ran off downstairs, I chased after her.

She ran outside and sat on the porch, tears poured from her eyes as rain dripped on her head.

"Katsuko? Please, dont hate me. I know you're not innocent either.." I said.

She looked up.

"I KNOW! Im just...scared for us, I mean, we...we kissed other people..What does that mean for us?" She asked.

"Katsuko, I still love you." I insisted.

"I do too, but what have we done?" She asks.

"I dont know.. I was just mad and frustrated when Saruko told me you two kissed.." I said.

"He told you that?" She asked.

"Yes.. He did.." I said.

"Look, lets just go inside, its pouring out.. Maybe coming to America wasnt such a good idea." Katsuko said.

"Agreed." I said.

We walk into that house and see Arnia and Saruko awkwardly standing there.

Nira's POV in Nao:

I search the whole alley way for the 4 guys. Where are they? Where did they go? Did the flee? Will they be back? I want to help them, oh so desperately.

Those guys fled! Are they stupid?! Now Nao will get even MORE destroyed.. I need to go to the town hall and get their phone information and call them, we will need to form a plan, I already have an idea.

I run to the town hall and see the Governor tied up in his chair and Hideki and the force trashing the place looking for valuables and information on Katsuko and the gang.

"WHERE. ARE. THEY?!" Hideki yelled crumbling papers and chucking them across the room.

"Who?" I ask.

"GET OUT, YOU LITTLE URCHIN!" Hideki ordered.

"Im not scared of you, Hideki. You're a weak, weak little boy." I say.

"Ergh...JUST WHERE ARE THEY?!" Hideki asked me.

"Heh, if Its Katsuko and the others you're looking for I would tell you but, I apparently am a little urchin so, no thanks.." I tease.

"WAIT!" He yelled, he climbed over the table and landed infront of me.

"Please...do tell.." He said, gripping the collar of my shirt.

"Alright, Alright.." I said, thinking of an alibi.

"I...I killed them.." I lied.

"YOU DID?!" He asked.

"Yep.." I said.

He lifted my arm up and said,

"THIS GIRL. ENDED THE TARGETS." He said.

The governor began to sob.

"HOW....HOW COULD YOU?!" He yelled.

"Quiet you!" I said, kicking his chair. I then leaned in and whispered to him,

"I will explain later.."

"Anyways, next...I will kill the guy." I said, sheathing my hidden blade to his neck.

"Well do it.." Hideki cheered.

"Um, I prefer to kill in privacy. So, I will imprison him in the fallout shelter." I say, untying him the chair and holding his hands together and walking him out the room.

"Please...HAVE MERCY!" He said.

Once outside I say,

"Okay...I will.." I say, cutting the rope that tied his arms.

"What...What are you doing?" He asks, rubbing his chafed wrists.

"I didnt actually kill the guys, I lied to protect them. And I lied about how im killing you to protect you. You may thank me later, now RUN!" I yell.

He takes off running. I look around for something that could portray blood. I find berries up in a tall tree.

I climb up and sit on a thick branch and cover my hands and clothes in the juice. I look down and see Hideki.

"What are you doing in a tree?" Hideki asked.

"Oh...I was just um...hiding the evidence, just incase the authorities find out.." I said.

"Haha, the authorities are all dead!" Hideki chuckled.

"Oh yeah, haha.." I fake laugh.

"Ugh just get down.." He said.

I swung down.

"Woah, all that blood was from him?" He asks, handing me a towel.

"Yep, he was....interesting to say the least." I chuckle and wipe myself off.
