(Riko Hibana's prespective)
"Come on wake up, sleepy head, or were gonna be late for school."
I let out a small groan as I tried to get up. The ceiling I saw was unfamiliar, different from the one I as used to.
Where was I?
I tried to sit up but was greeted with intense pain in my back and head, my hand shot up to where I I found ,to my surprise, bandages covering my forehead and my right eye.
"Here, take this pill you'll feel better."
From my right, a two hands appeared one with a pill and another with a glass of water.
Something in me told me to trust that voice.
I obliged as the pain was becoming greater and unbearable. I quickly took the pill and drank the water, and in seconds the pain went away.
"Feeling better? Here let me help you up."
The hand appeared again but this time with a face with it. It had pearl white hair, with deep black eyes and a thin sharp face, moreover his chest was bare, and had numerous scars on it, most of it healed and one which was still red.
I could feel my face get red, and seeing it he stepped up a bit and put his hand just above my shoulder pinning me between himself and the wall behind the bed. I could feel his breath on my face and he looked me deep in my eye and spoke.
"I bet your wondering, where you are, How you got here, and what happened last night."
He moved more close, his lips just inches away from mine.
Do I want to do this?
Looking at him, he was a handsome person, and something in me was telling me to trust me.
"You were the one who told me to go all out last time, and then you passed out, but you satisfied me fully. You gave me a whole lot of forceful blows."
WHAT? DId we do something last night?
"And that last shot, you impressed me with that, surviving three shot and one to the head and still having energy to pull it off. Impressive"
"Tha...thank you?"
The moment I said that his eyes constricted for a second, and he pulled back started to walk towards the table. In his back pocket, slung over was a gun.
(Ryu Narsius's perceptive)
"Your not Anguis, your Riko Aren't you."
I could see puzzlement on her fully red face. Her breath was labored, and was slow.
Even when I said her name she didn't come out.
I pulled out the Glock-19 that was holstered in my back pocket, and walked towards her and forced it under her neck.
Then I clocked it.
"What do you think you're doing," Anguis spoke, her voice deep and dark, confidence present in it.
"So you are back, nice," I said as I pulled my gun back, "Next time, you left Riko take over, tell me beforehand. I can't stand her."
"She seems to like you tho."
"I don't care," I found myself saying before I could think of something else," I already have someone."
"Shame, I thought I could make you fall for me," Anguis said as she unbuttoned the shirt and stood up just wearing her underwear, her chest bare naked. She put her right hand on my shoulder and looked at me straight in the eye.
"Nice try," I shoved her back," But as I said, I am already taken. And TRUST ME you don't wanna mess with them."
"Them?"

After this we both just got dressed in silence and walked to school though Rex did compliment in the break that we looked good with each other and that he was jealous of me and all that jazz.
He did get dropped kicked by Jess, when she heard of his comments.
Nothing interesting apart form this happened at School, but when I reached the food house, it was another story altogether.
There were two parcels waiting for me. First was a letter, which read as follow:-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
X
Recruit Anguis, on order of the Council, has been declared to be fit for duty. Her activation has been recommended and has been assigned under the care and supervision of Warden Zero.
Ave.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What the fuck is a warden?
In the second parcel there was some papers on information, and a card. The info was on a group of gangsters that have been working in this prefecture. But recently they have became more bold and have shown signs that there leader one 'John Pelby' was recruiting mutants. Which was weird.
In the current society, mutants were not well-known, I mean, to even know that they exist means you have to be quite high in society in the information ladder. In this world, Money or power was not the absolute but rather Information was. If you have information of the 'Truth of the world' then you were almost unstoppable, kinda like the Order and Faith, both of these entities knew what the 'Truth of the world' was.
Me, I was two too low on the info ladder.
Apart from the leader's info, there was info on his brother's, Arthur and Thomas Pelby with Thomas being the smallest brother. All three of these brothers were involved in Drug dealing, prostitution and manners of such sort.
And now, someone in the order wanted them to be removed.
Sitting in the food house, In front of me, Anguis was sitting eating a plate full of spaghetti, I excused myself and walked into the bathroom. I pulled out the card and called the number on its backside.
After a couple of seconds the line connected.
"Zero, was it?"
"Reporting," I blurted out- some habits die hard.
"Yes, yes I believe you have read the documents provided? Yes?"
This guy was impatient as hell.
"Yes? Do you accept your task or not? Yes?"
"Affirmative," I replied.
"Good. Good. then report to me once your done."
-Click.
That was one hell of a yes man,
-Cue the head slaps.
While still being in the bathroom, I decided what to do.
I returned to my seat to discuss my plan with Anguis.
Tonight was going to be a hell of a night, for one of us at least.
