"ON you're left Senpai. Meters away. There's a door but be careful." Ran warning Tetsuya Mokuyama as she lead him the to the victim's room.
"What's inside Ran-Chan?" Ran grimaced as the loud error from her earbud.
"Keep you're voice tune down Tetsuya Senpai. You're going to break my eardrums anytime soon." She complaint as she dig and crashed her chips inside her mouth. Mokoyama tsk! As the sound of it.
"And for goodness sake! Stop eating while talking onto earbud! My ears can't handle it anymore! I can't clearly hear you too!" He hissed. Ran have to take out her bud or else it will broke her eardrums.
"Stop shouting then! Tsk!"
"Sorry, sorry. Now what's inside?" He asked calmly.
"There's a one eyed giant orc guarding the door." Ran said sarcastically. Mokoyama groaned in annoyance.
"Remind me to call Ryu Sazuki to Annoy you." He said firmly annoyed. Ran pout. Even if that 'guy' will the last person left in the world, she will definitely ignore him.
Her lips pout even more when she remembered that annoying brother of her.
They are the same. Sooo annoying. The least I would want to do is to interacted with them!
"Fine. There's a trap and a dozen of army of that Mafia boss. I think they already knew that you were coming to save their precious hostage." She said flatly.
"How come?"
"Haller! You've been yelling the whole time. How would they know some intruder got in? Even when I already hacked their system. They will still find you because of you're high pitch voice." She said sarcastically and rolled her eyes. "You acted like you're not in a mission."
"Oh..."
"They expecting you to crash the door."
"They will regret ambushing Tetsuya Mokoyama then." He boastfully said. Ran tsk!
"Tetsuya Senpai. You have a victim to save you know? Save him first and then do whatever you want. Don't disappoint Keir okay." She remind him seriously. Keir asked her assessment for Tetsuya Mokoyama's mission while ago. She gladly took it since her subject didn't move yet. Now she's in her room busy typing the two keyboard--of course while eating her favorite chips. (Tetsuya Mokoyama was unlucky today because she have her chips, she can't stop eating it) while assisting her Senpai to complete his job. But this boastful creature has been ruining her plan!
As much as possible. She don't want a fail mission. Not in Keir watch.
"Okay. Okay. You're so serious. Don't worry. I won't fail. Not in my master's watch." He said while smiling. He can't believe sometimes how Ran so passionate of her job. She don't to disappoint her life saver. Of course, just like him. "Lead me to another way. Our bookkeeper." He smirked. She's right. Job's come first before plying.
"Roger that Senpai." Ran said as she navigate her Senpai to the safest way to save the victim.
I hope it will done early. I have gig tomorrow to prepare with.

Yukimura has been in a bad mode since Friday, when he came back to the court. The whole regulars can feel it.
They didn't know what happened to him before that but they can clearly seen the dark aura around him. Even though his smiling but his eyes were sharped and menacing. They almost died because of his way of training.
But to Yanagi Renji, Sanada Genichirou confusion. The wicked captain of Rikkaidai fuzoku tennis club was torturing Akaya Kirihara more than anyone else. The other regurals might not see it but not to them. They know Yukimura Seiichi more.
"Yukimura. What's the problem?" Sanada can't take it anymore and asked. He had enough.
"Problem what Sanada?" He asked gently at Sanada and give him his usual smile.
"That! You've been creeped us out you know? You acted differently since last Friday when you came back to practice. What happened?" He carefully asked. He don't want to be in lion's bad mood.
And then Yukimura smiled devilishly. The kind of smile that all you wanted is to hide. The regulars saw it and shrunk away in an instant. They don't want to get in his monster mood today. For goodness sake! They already had enough!
Especially Kirihara who experience Yukimura's wrath the whole time. He think that his punishment was way more heavier than others. Even though he really don't know of what he did something wrong.
'I didn't do anything!'
"I plan to tame an wild animal Sanada." He looked Sanada who's eyes wild open at the same time confused.
"Y-You're kidding me right? What kind of animal is that? Tiger? Lion? Elephant? Snake? What? And since when did you became interest of wild animals?" Yukimura laugh at Sanada's retorted and question.
He really creeping me out!
"Please Yukimura. You just back from your illness and we have national. Please be rational." Sanada said and asked him self if Yukimura got sick again.
"I didn't forgot that Sanada. And I'm not sick." Yukimura state while looking at Sanada's confused looked. "It's all over your face."
"I'm just worried. You've been really acting strange these past few days." Sanada sight. "I thought something strange happened to you again."
"Really?"
"Really." Sanada eyeing Yukimura suspiciously. Something's really off with him.
"Did...something happen that Friday afternoon?" Sanada asked. Yukimura acted differently after he came back just to drink water.
"Nothing."
"Hmm."
"Don't worry Sanada. I will deal that wild Cat after Nationals. For now, we will focused to our training." Yukimura said as he gripped his racquet firmly.
Sanada didn't say anything. He just wondered who is that wild cat. Yukimura is hiding something.
From meter's away. Yanagi immediately right something on his note for his data. He him self was curious who was that wild cat. Hmm..

"Akaya!" Ran happily wave her hand at Akaya---but instantly pout when she spotted all the regulars including of course her brother approaching to her direction. She thought Akaya was alone.
"Ran! Whats up?" Akaya asked when he approached Ran.
"Hello Ms. Asusagawa." Jakal
"Good afternoon my Ran-chan! Did you miss me?" Niou. As usual.
"Hey! Niou! Have shame!" Yagyu
The three men Yanagi, Sanada, Yukimura just nodding.
"Ran-chan! You want to go with me later?" Ran furrowed. The rest of the regulars glaring at Marui. "I will visit my favorite pastries shop." Marui said and ignore all eyes that glaring at him. On the other hand.... Ran's scarlet eyes was sparkling with delight while looking at Marui.
"Really?!" She excitedly asked. The rest of the regulars were awe of the sudden change except Akaya.
"Y-Yeah.."
"Ran's weakness." Akaya sigh and all of them looking at him. "That's her motto. Food is life."
"It's settle then. I'm coming with you after my class okay?"
"Okay.. they have new menu of pastries. I want to try it." Marui blushed as he look away. "I want to share it with you though--" Marui didn't finish his sentence when Ran suddenly jump and hugged him.
"WHAT???!" All of the regulars except Akaya. He already knew this side of Ran. But Yukimura didn't...so his dark aura was getting darker even more by the sight of the two individual hugging in front of him.
"Oh. Akaya? How's my bento that I made for you last Friday?" Ran asked suddenly. She didn't have time to ask him this morning cause she unfortunately forgot but now that she remember...she wants to know so she will make another one again. For him.
But to Ran surprised. Stiffed and frozen. And then everyone grimace and look to other direction.
Yukimura's dark aura gone and replaced by stiffed. She caught him of guard.
Even Yanagi and Sanada grimace and the color of their face drain. Actually all of them. Kirihara on the other hand was relief that he didn't eat but at the same time felt guilty for some reason.
"So...?"
"I-It was d-delicious Ran-chan. Although my cake was a b-bit b-better." Marui was stutter the whole time that Ran give him a suspicious look.
"Did you eat my bento too?"
"Actually. All of us Ran-Chan. We try it and it's d-delicious." Niou trying to explain.
"S-Sorry Ran. They want to try it so I gave them." Kirihara.
"No problem. If you want. I will make another bento, but this time to all of you---"
"DON'T!" They shout in union. Even Yanagi,Sanada and Yukimura joined. Remembering the horrible tasted make them sick.
"Huh? I though---"
"That's not it! We love it but we don't want to bother you. We are eight and you just alone making it." Akaya exaggerated explain. Ran raise her brows but didn't say anything.
"How about I'm going to make a bento for you instead? Do you like that?" Marui said.
"Really! I can't wait! You will save my allowance and time. Thanks!" Ran said and smile at Marui.
'That Marui got a two points!'
"Eherrmm.. I will make a bento too for you. If you didn't asked." Niou interjected with a proud tone. "I help my mom prepared bento everyday for our lunch, so it's a piece of cake."
"Oh. Okay! I'll take it." Ran.
"Me too Ran. So you'll not buy a lunch at cafeteria." Akaya represent. Since Ran's cooking was this horrible. It means she didn't properly. And she's saving her allowance.
All regulars plan to make a bento for Ran. Yanagi and Sanada didn't say anything but Renji noted that already.
As for Yukimura.....
"Do whatever you want. But don't ever hinder your practice. You will receive my wrath if we lost to National's." He said with a serious tone and threat. He's face was so serious with out his usual smile. His different from the usual Yukimura.
The rest of the regulars gulped as they watch their captain walk away.
'I will deal with you after National. Just wait.'
Hi! I return from my vacation!
