"An Assassin's Blade comes as an example. Bloodlust, murder and shame." I murmur quietly. The light in my wife's eyes fades a little. My breathing slows. The metal stake on the ground next to me is dried with my blood. I cough, almost violently.

This final night, the only night I'll get to spend with the one I love and care for... under the stars. At least I can die knowing that Phantom won't be alone in this cruel world. "I... I'm sorry, Phantom. Please, tell Raine I will always love her. I love you..." Phantom trembles a little. "I don't... I don't want you to leave..." Her voice fades as darkness greets my vision. All I hear is her voice, cracked with grief. "Malice... I never got to say goodbye..."

Ever wonder what it'd be like going to a 'lower classroom' after your school finishes? Well, this classroom is set for AIT-- Assassins in Training. Class 3-E. 
Now, Malice Akabane, being in suspension for the time-being, has an idea of the new teacher.

Phantom, however, is stuck in Class without her. She's had to deal with the Willow Creek Academy boys more than once.

Before I even know it, a light wind stirs up. This wasn't any ordinary wind. It was magic. The wind blows my skirt to the left, and I hear a familiar voice behind me, as well as my hair being tucked behind my human ears. "Behind you, babe." My eyes almost fill with tears out of shock before I turn around and kiss her, dropping her book in the process. She doesn't even hesitate to kiss me back, but pulls away after a minute or so, nibbling my bottom lip as she does. "Not now. Later." She murmurs softly against my lips. I whine in response, resting my head against her chest and listening to her calming, steady heartbeat. 

She holds me in her arms for a while, before letting her arms fall to her sides at the sight of our new teacher. I keep my head on her chest for a moment longer, before I look up, "Go on. Introduce yourself, Mal." A smile forms on her lips.

"Alright."
