THAT JITTERY FEELING NEVER LEFT RIKU'S BODY. Not once. She still felt as though they have been stalked, always looking over her shoulder whenever she felt someone's eyes glare holes into her back.

The girl didn't know whether or not to tell everyone, but seeing them trying to enjoy the trip while at the same trying to come up with a plan of assassination - Riku didn't have the heart to do it.

Plus, if they didn't notice anything strange, then it's probably nothing right?

Right?

Riku sighed, as she listened to her friends rant on and on about the different sightings in Kyoto, finally deciding to just ignore the feeling and say it was just chills that she got from the cold breeze. Not noticing the worried glances that belonged to a certain red-haired sadist.

"Gion is a really deserted place as you explore deeper," Kayano commented as the group journeyed further into an empty alleyway towards their next destination. Kanzaki made a noise of agreement, "That's because many shops refuse to serve foreign customers. Since no one will be walking through here there's no need for a nice view."

Riku hummed, looking around the thin pathway surrounded by local shops. "This must be why you included it in the schedule Yukiko, a place like this where no one is watching...it's a good place for assassination."

"Well done, Kanzaki-san!" Kayano praised, her eyes lighting up in admiration. "You've done your research well! Let's choose this place for the assassination then."

Everyone seemed to agree, including Riku.

Suddenly, the weird feeling came back, making Riku's stomach churn. She felt as if they weren't the only people here...The feeling of being followed came back - but worse, Riku wasn't sure what to make of it.

"Guys..." Riku muttered in a low tone. "Guys, I think we're being follo-"

"What a perfect plan."

The group came to a halt, stopping in their tracks when several men - they looked like high schoolers - casually walked in front of them. But with the evil smiles on their faces, Riku knows that they meant other businesses.

"Why do you guys choose to walk into a place perfect for kidnapping?" One of them asked, a big burly boy with a buzzcut and gap teeth asked. Riku gritted her teeth when she saw more of them coming up to her group from behind - completely trapping them in.

The group of middle schoolers compressed together as Riku's eye grew steely, her glare masking the slight tremble in her body as she reached for something in her blazer's pocket, doing it slowly as to not grab the wannabe gang of high school freaks' attention.
