Beat went to see how Erina was since they had been a bit busy and couldn't talk a lot. Erina tried to find time to talk with him but she couldn't find time. But Beat today had put all apart in order to have time to talk with Erina. Beat had been invited by a friend who is an actor and a pretty famous one to see a new movie and he thought that he had a perfect chance for a date.
Beat finds Erina in the office finishing reports.
-Beat: Hey Erina.
-Erina: Hey Beat.
-Beat: I thought that maybe we could... go... to see, huh, a movie?
-Erina: Trying to get a date?
-Beat: I think that sass got out from me.
-Erina: Learned from you, yes.
-Beat: Then...
-Erina: Of course! I was waiting that you asked.
-Beat: Okay, this afternoon then?
-Erina: Yeah just right after work.
-Beat: Okay. How's going all?
-Erina: Well. You?
-Beat: (sighs) Busy. But as always I'll manage.
-Erina: You put all apart today to talk with me, no?
-Beat: Yes?
-Erina: You are worried that you lose your chance with me because we are so busy.
-Beat: Have I become that predictable?
-Erina: Nope. But I know how a man in love thinks.
-Beat: Oh, I forgot to tell you. You know Samurai of Dreams movies?
-Erina: I love those movies!
-Beat: I know the main character's actor. He gave me two tickets for the newest movie...
-Erina: For Samurai of Dreams: Elusive Mist!? Oh, we are lucky!
-Beat: Seems so. "YES! She likes those movies! GO ME!"
-Erina: If you can help me with these reports...
-Beat: (looks to the sides) I shouldn't buuuut I say: To hell with that. I'll help you!
Beat started helping Erina with the reports, mostly storing them and sending them to Sylvia. Of course with Beat's help all was way faster than usual.

After 4 hours of hard work, Beat and Erina had finished all the work and they left to go to the cinema. It was in the leisure district and it was the biggest cinema in all the city. Three floors, 680 rooms, 30 stores of merchandising, big as a mall.
Beat arrived in his car and then a tall japanese man with long black hair, black eyes, with a scar on his left cheek, wearing white and blue kimono went to talk with Beat.
-Shiro: Hey Beat!
-Beat: Shiro! Thanks for inviting me!
-Shiro: Oh, who's the girl?
-Beat: Oh, well...
-Shiro: You won't tell me that she is your girlfriend? Of course not!
-Beat: She is...
-Shiro: The Beat I know wouldn't get a girlfriend.
-Beat: Well! Someday this had to happen! Unlike you and Sasha, I needed time!

Meanwhile Beat and Shiro were talking, Erina was red faced and did not know where to look. Shiro noticed that and smiled. Beat felt a cold chill on his back.
-Shiro: What's your name, lady?
-Erina: Erina. Erina... Hell.
-Shiro: Hell!? BEAT! You bastard! I did not know that you liked trouble so much!
-Beat: I can't die, so what risk I am taking?
-Shiro: Beaaat... I hope that this isn't your first date...
-Beat: Second date.
-Shiro: And you bring her here? You have no class.
-Erina: We both like your films! I am one of the first fans... (Whispering to herself) I even have that body pillow... I should do something about it.
Beat heard that and blushed. Shiro smiles.
-Shiro: Let us go to see the film.
-Beat: Seems so.
-Erina: Finally!
-Shiro: By the way, you kissed her already?
-Beat: Well...
-Erina: By accident.
-Shiro: Accident... Yeees....
-Beat: Stop trying to get more info.
-Shiro: Beat. I have 20 bucks riding on you getting to marriage in 3 years.
-Beat: You too!? Bloody Sylvia! Even my old partners participate!?
-Shiro: Yes. Unless Chase.
-Beat: He is dead. I killed him.
-Shiro: Really? He went crazy or what?
-Beat: Something like that.
-Shiro: Tell me all!
-Beat: I sent you a message!
-Shiro: I was in Japan until 3 days ago!
-Beat: And you haven't done that...
-Shiro: Guess that I am good at fencing...
-Beat: Poor Sasha... He has to keep up with your sassy words.
-Shiro: Better than with your salty sassy.
-Beat: That is an art.
Shiro starts laughing and starts walking to the cinema. Beat and Erina follow him into the cinema. They all go to the film room 666 were the film was going to be shown in it's premiere. Beat and Erina start watching the film and keep looking all the film that went about the samurai having to fight a magician that threaten all the world with covering it all with mist that was poisonous and that had kidnapped a princess in order to marry her but the princess was in love with the samurai.

After two hours and half of a movie of romance and action with a good part of fantasy, the movie ended and both Beat and Erina ended crying of how well it was.
-Beat: Truly... I hate this sugary kind of romance but it is done way too well!
-Erina: The story is so beautiful!
After getting out of the cinema a scream is heard and Erina and Beat rush to see what had happened. They found Shiro wounded and a fat, bald man with black eyes and wearing a suit dead on the floor. They were in a closed room and the only possible killer was Shiro. But he was trembling.
-Beat: Shiro... What the hell happened?
-Shiro: I have not killed him. It was someone else.
-Beat: Allow me to investigate that. If someone else did it, I will find him.
-Erina: I'll stop all the viewers and the workers that were today in the cinema!

Seems that a good date went up straight to hell. What has happened? Stay tuned to know!
