WAR

Early the next morning, all of Antieku was gathered upstairs in the lounge, however, the atmosphere was dark and dreary. Usually, the room was full of pleasant chatter, recounting tales of crazy customers and past experiences.

Today was different.

Himika of all people had called for this meeting, and she sat in a comfy striped armchair with her legs crossed and fingers tapping away nervously.

"What the hell did you interrupt work for?" Nishiki asked, an irritated look on his face.

"This is important, so please listen," Himika said, ignoring Nishiki's comments completely. "We're all in great danger."

The room burst into outrage, starting with Nishiki.

"Bullshit!" He roared. "The twenty-fourth ward, while it used to be pretty crazy, is peaceful!"

"Not anymore." Touka sighed. "I don't know if the manager told you what happened yesterday, but we've been discovered."

The room went silent again, everyone exchanging worried glances.

"What are we going to do?" Roma, the newest staff member asks.

"Yomo, take Hinami, Himika, and Touka to the safe house and stay there." Mr. Yoshimura said standing up.

"Wait," Himika said. "I wasn't finished."

Everyone sat back down and looked to the white-haired girl.

"The attack should happen anytime between now and tomorrow, but civilians must be evacuated before the attack." Himika said. "That gives us time to get out of here together."

"How do you know this?" Irimi asks the question they were all thinking.

"Long story incredibly short, I have an informant whose dad works with the CCG." She replies.

"When did this happen?" Koma inquires.

"When I went on a date with that idiot Kentaro." She scoffed.

"That's right!" Hinami agreed. "And Kentaro even gave me information yesterday, which I never got to tell you Himika!"

"It's alright Hinami, I already know." Himika reassured her best friend. "But now that we know an attack is coming we really should get out of here."

"Sorry, but that's not happening," Koma said, Irimi nodding along with him.

"We owe a debt, and we will defend Antieku with all we've got." Irimi added.

"This is a safe place for Kimi and me, and although it's a pain in the ass, I'll fight for it too." Nishiki said.

"I guess that I won't be able to convince you all to get out of here then." Himika chuckled. "But I'd like to fight too."

"No, you will go with Touka, Hinami and Yomo." Mr. Yoshimura put his foot down.

Himika nodded in defeat. She'd probably get out of there later anyway.

"Let's go," Yomo said, looking at each of the girls individually. "I'm taking you to the safe house."

Touka begrudgingly agreed and walked out of the room with Yomo, Hinami and Himika right behind her. They walked down the flight of stairs and into the main part of the coffee shop. Himika looked out the huge windows and noticed the van sitting out front. Normally people would be concerned if three girls were being lured to a van by a tall intimidating guy, but civilians were too busy evacuating to notice. That, and it was a familiar van that they had all been in before on numerous occasions, however, Hinami never went 'grocery shopping' because everyone at Antieku had agreed to keep Hinami as innocent as possible. This might have been a mistake, the world is rougher than Hinami realized, and the death of her parents had only opened her eyes.
