(A/N: You are the person I want to be with everyday-
Sorry, couldn't help myself-)

Haruki was rubbing his fingers together behind the stage.

Kiyomi pat him reassuringly, "Calm down. You're fine."

"I'm not fine! I'm gonna mess up, and everyone, especially my parents, and Katashi's parents will hate me for ruining the play!"

(Shuichi and Kokichi were out doing their jobs.

Although, Kokichi kept whining when he couldn't attend Kiyomi's first play.)

Katashi pat his head, "You won't do that."

Haruki huffed, messing with his ponytail, "How do you know?"

"Cause you're you."

Haruki gazed up at Katashi.

"T-Thanks."

Kiyomi huffed, "Wow, get calmed down from him and not from me. I see how it is!"

"A-Ah, sorry!"

"Haru, I'm joking!"

"Ah, s-sorry!"

"You don't need to apologize."

"Ah, s-"

"Haruki..."

Haruki backed up, waving his arms around, bumping into something.

"Eh?"

He had bumped into a bow next to a bunch of arrows.

Christine walked over, "Ah sorry! I accidentally packed that. It doesn't have anything to do with the play."

The trio nodded in understanding.

"It's illegal to be cuter than me!" Kelly boasted from a distance.

"We're all going to jail then!" Kiyomi shouted back.

Christine high fived her.

Haruki and Katashi quietly chuckled.

-----------

"Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!" Kiyomi sang, dancing around the stage.

She and Haruki exchanged a smile.

A gunshot suddenly shot through the song.

Kaede stopped playing her piano and Haruki and Kiyomi froze.

All the spotlights turned on.

A man was standing at the top of the rows of seats. He held a gun in his hand.

Everyone in the audience suddenly ducked down.

"Eh?" Kiyomi muttered to herself.

The man started walking towards the stage, "None of you move."

"W-Who are you?" Haruki asked.

The man suddenly lifted his gun up and shot a bullet near Haruki. It narrowly missed him and shot through his hair tie.

Haruki's hair fell out of its usual ponytail, "I-"

"Keep quiet if you want to live. I won't purposefully shoot elsewhere next time."

"Hey, don't shoot at him!" Kiyomi shouted without thinking.

The man climbed onto the stage, walking towards Kiyomi, "I wouldn't suggest talking."

"Your dad is so fucking annoying, you know?"

Kiyomi heard Linda gasp from the audience.

Seriously? You're worried about his language?

"W-What?"

"Your dad is such a pain in my ass, so I'm going to be a pain in his."  He pointed the gun at her.

------------

Haruki quietly backed up until he reached the curtain. Even then, he kept backing up. His leg hit something.

Eh?

-------------

Kiyomi froze.

The man chuckled, "Goodbye. It was nice to not meet you."

He fired the gun.

An arrow flew past the man, hitting the bullet and knocking it off course.

The man whipped his head around.

Haruki was holding a bow with a pack of arrows on his back.

"Get away from my best friend."

The man aimed the gun at him, "I was being nice before. Now you've done it."

He fired at Haruki. Haruki simply pulled out another arrow and fired it at the bullet, knocking it off course yet again.

Haruki stepped closer and closer towards the man, knocking each bullet away.

Haruki eventually got close enough and hit the man in the head with his bow.

The man stumbled back, "You-"

Shuichi came in through the same door the man had, pointing a gun at him, "Freeze!"

The man froze, putting his hands above his head.

Shuichi quickly moved towards the stage, climbing up and placing handcuffs on the man.

Maki ran up and helped to restrain him. She turned to Haruki.

"That's my boy."

Haruki smiled.

Kaito ran up too, hugging the ever loving shit out of his son, "Haruki, please never do that again!"

Katashi walked out too, as the performance had been stopped a while ago, "On the contrary, please do that again. That was awesome."

Kiyomi nodded in agreement. Shuichi and Maki looked at each other.

"I got it."

Shuichi ran over and hugged his daughter, "Kiyomi, I'm so sorry-"

"It's fine!"

"It's not!"

Shuichi hugged her tighter, "You weren't supposed to-"

"Dad, it's fine."

".....If you say so."

----------

Christine watched Haruki, his family, his best friends, and his best friends' familes with a clipboard from behind the curtain.

She took out a pen and wrote something.

(There was a list of things that was crossed out beforehand.)

Christine wrote several things, crossing it out everything she messed up on or didn't like it.

Finally, she decided on something that sounded good to her.

Haruki Momota - Ultimate Archer

Yeah.

She smiled.

That works.

(A/N: OwO seems Christine has something more going on than just helping with the play-
I wonder what it could be?)
