(Kazuki pov)
I toss the empty beer can against the wall and chug another one, the maid casually cleans up the mess I had just made and sighs.
"Master Kazuki, If I may speak?"
I try to look in her direction but end up seeing an image of Kana instead of the maid.
"Goooo Awayyy, Kana...im sorry..."
The maid sighs in irritation upon being mistaken for Kana and snatches my beer can from my hand.
"For the last time! I am not Kana, She's dead because you had her killed! Now, will you sober up before our lord shows up!"
I was to drunk to care about her status when she yelled at me, instead I just groan and slouch in my chair.
(What have I done...The only person I have loved...I had her killed and I did all of those terrible things to her...)
Just then the door is pushed open with a loud bang and a grumpy vampire who I immediately recognize as our king comes in. He was old but still did not look old.
He has deep blood red eyes that could easily kill by fright just by looking at them from and snow-white hair like his sons, He has a few wrinkles and a long scar across his face.
With a serious and stern look on his face, he waves the maid away and I try to stand but tumble over my own feet falling flat on my face.
"Kazuki..."
I sit up and look up at him.
"Yes?"
His eyes seem to have started glowing with rage and I instantly became sober realizing how much trouble I was in at that moment.
"I-I'm sorry my lord, Please forgive my foolishness!"
I bow my head but he bends down on a knee and lifts my chin up so I could meet his eyes.
"I'm a man of few words Kazuki...I don't care what sorrows you are facing right now but if this next job isn't done in this next week I will personally kill you with my own hands."
His low and demonic voice made me shutter and I silently nod knowing full well that the death he meant would be a slow and tortured death no one else in this world wishes.
(Heck I would rather be killed by a dog than this man!)
My thoughts kept me sane for a moment until he left throwing a stack of papers on the floor in front of me.
I pick them up and a weary smile slowly creeps upon my face.
"Brother, it seems you we're not to careful this time aye?"
I chuckle and toss the papers aside after going over them.
(I guess this will be my come back.)
(Yuki pov)
I finish putting my laundry up and make my way towards the kitchen where I hear Kirito talking on the phone.
"Ok, Thank you ill let her know."
-Brief pause-
"Yes, I'm sure she would love to do it."
He hangs up the phone and I walk in grabbing a water bottle from the pantry.
"Who was that?"
Kirito smirks and takes my water bottle away teasingly.
"Headmaster, He said he was able to talk to the president. The president said good job and said he has a mission only we can do."
Shocked by this my eyes open wide.
"No way! Why us?"
Kirito shrugs.
"Something to do with an investigation of their High Mages, along with some other officials. They think there is a mole amongst them."
I giggle.
"Well, they aren't wrong...To bad, we can't just tell them who it is."
Kirito pulls me into a hug and I blush.
"We both know that that would be a dangerous move considering there are probably more than one mole other than Kazuki."
(He does have a good point. If we were to point out Kazuki who knows what would happen. They might already have a backup plan and scapegoat for this issue then it would backfire on us.)
"Your right Kirito, Let's let them deal with this issue while we take on the other task they gave us."
Kirito lets go of me and rubs my head.
"Speaking of the mission. We're being sent to Country C to do some investigating on an official close to the president himself. His name is Dosin ChiYu and they haven't been able to make contact with him for some time. They think sending teens would be a better cover, especially during this lockdown.
Considering the information I received they do not think he's a threat. They think he's missing or being held captive. Our mission is to locate him and bring him back."
I nod listening to every detail.
"So when do we leave?"
I put my finger to my lips thinking about the mission.
I was filled with both excitement and worry.
"In two days time, We will be given some more information when we board the plane, there will be another person who will lead our team considering we are still underage. I do not know who that person will be but we will find out more then."
I keep nodding.
"Okie dokie, Well I guess now we should just prepare ourselves. Kirito, I want to go out to eat tonight."
Kirito chuckles at my request and throws me my water back. I catch it with ease.
"Alright get dressed we will leave in about an hour."
I smiled at him.
(He's so thoughtful, It seems I've been seeing this side of him more often. I really like it and the feelings I get when I see him smile like that and how he treats me.)
I run into Kirito's arms giving him a hug. I stand on my tiptoes and plant a simple kiss on his cheek.
I could tell he blushed right away but I quickly went to my room leaving him standing dumbfounded in the kitchen.
-At the restaurant-
We decide to order the same thing, a classic steak with veggies and mashed potatoes.
"So have you heard anything about the school reopening yet?"
I ask with curiosity in my eyes. I had really missed being at school and was patiently waiting for it to open back up.
Kirito shakes his head and I couldn't help but sulk some.
"Well that sucks, I kinda miss the social experience."
Kirito chuckles and speaks nonchalantly.
"Maybe we can have a little fun on our mission while we pick up leads."
My ears seemed to perk up as soon as he says that.
"Oh yeah? What's the plan big shot?"
Kirito lays his fork and knife down and wipes his mouth before speaking again.
"I did some research and I saw that there is a social gathering that our targets been invited too 3 days after we are supposed to arrive, its perfect for both socializing and keeping on top of our mission."
I nod in satisfaction and wipe my mouth too.
"That sounds so exciting! Maybe we will see some big shots there as well!"
Kirito pays the bill and takes a hold of my hand leading me out under the stary sky and warm night breeze.
"Yuki where do you want to go most?"
The sudden serious question caught me off guard and I had to think about it for a minute.
"Well, Maybe to one of the faraway islands. I heard that Petal Island is really beautiful and warm all year round, it is also supposedly covered in cherry blossom petal trees hence the name."
Kirito chuckles and rubs my head.
"Sounds interesting, Let's go back home."
I nod not thinking to much about the question and follow beside him.
