2 Chapter 1: Ryuki Masaomi

The winter morning was much worse than normal days. It was 5:30 AM, and Hikaru Suguro was wrapped in fifteen different blankets trying to get some sleep. As if she didn't need anything else bothering her, a massive noise came from the kitchen. Hikaru instantly jumped out of her bed unwrapping all of the layers of blankets. She forcefully opened the door handle dashing out of her room, running down the rich caramel brown stairs, ignoring the possibility of falling. She finally reaches the end of the stairs, making her way through the translucent brown corridors opening the kitchen door handle swinging the door open only to see Kujou in a complete panic over a pot of burnt stew spilled all over the floor. What an idiot Hikaru thought to herself. Then she ran straight towards Kujou yelling "Kujou, what the hell do you thinking your doing so early in the morning?" looking at Hikaru, she was pretty tired already but all Kujou ever did was smile back at her. He nodded his head and pointed at the spilled stew. "Ah, why it's Miss Hikaru. You're up awfully early that's not like you at all." Hikaru rolls her eyes ignoring him. "I'll ask again. What the hell are you doing? I thought there was an explosion!"

Kujou's face expression shifted from happy-lucky to surprise, but soon it went back to that idiotic smile. "Well... Something did happen." Kujou stood up on his feet flicking his lengthy, short scarlet-orange hair while at the same time walking towards the ruined pot of stew that was beginning to stain the perfectly crystal clear-white floor. "I accidentally overcooked the stew. And..." hesitating, he continues, "in a panic I knocked over the pot. And now there's no breakfast." Hikaru glared at him while he was cleaning up the mess of stew with a mop. "Idiot. You can't even cook a decent meal can you? Oh and people DO NOT eat stew for breakfast!"

Kujou swore under his breath. Angry, Hikaru walks up to him and kicks at the back of his right leg causing him to drop down onto the floor. Kujou screams glaring at Hikaru saying some Russian swear words.

Hikaru looked down at him with a smirk. "What's so funny twerp"

"Nothing."

Kujou glared at her. Hikaru couldn't help but snigger, this really embarrassed Kujou as he was getting up from the pain in his leg was throbbing like a heartbeat. He gave out a loud moan. "I'm gonna get you for this you know." Hikaru stared at him with those glimmering emerald eyes of hers answering back, "how're you going to do that?" Walking across the kitchen, Kujou stopped and opened the reddish cupboard taking out a Salvia 630 and a few silver bullets to go with it. Giving Hikaru a confident smile Kujou says "a sparing competition is the only way to resolve things with you."

"If you're trying to be funny then it's not working"

"Scared?"

That's it. He's dead meat! Thought Hikaru. Kujou doesn't give her a chance to get a weapon. He shoots five bullets at Hikaru mercilessly. Hikaru managed to dodge four and only one bullet grazed her right arm. Running towards him, ducking down using her left leg to kick him in the stomach, Kujou tumbles backwards. "Urgh!" Kujou shouts out. Hikaru stands up focusing her eyes on him.

Kujou gets up on his feet though not steadily. He gives her a nasty glare, "damn you."

"It's not my fault you know. You started this fight and you should've known better that even without weapons I am very skilled when it comes to combat."

Kujou scowls at Hikaru, "that's not fair!"

"Sorry sunshine, but life is never kind to anyone, plus you're the one who started this fight so I'm being nice by finishing it for you."

Furiously, Kujou drops his gun and pulls a punch at Hikaru throwing her backwards. He yells "YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH GOOD COMBAT SKILLS!!"

Hikaru gives Kujou a lunatic look. Smiling confidently she runs towards him kicking up high so that her foot would reach his chin making him stumble backwards. Hikaru slaps her right fist against her left palm, "well see about that... after I've beaten you to a pulp you cocky bastard!"

Kujou attempts to punch Hikaru in the stomach however, Hikaru blocks

him with her two hands holding tightly then she pulls his fist towards her

kicking him in his weak spot. He screams in agony! Giving Hikaru the chance to end the final blow.

"STOP!" Hikaru freezes and both her and Kujou turn to the direction of the kitchen door only to see a boy about the age of twelve-years old. The boy had curly-short, blonde hair. He was wearing a navy blue jumper and dark green trousers hanging down his neatly polished white shoes. Hikaru approached the boy, stopping an inch away from him. Kujou sarcastically laughs, "well, well. If it isn't the little master Allen Yeager, our little hero who came to saving our darling princess! Right Hikaru?"

Hikaru glares at Kujou, "die for me, okay?"

Allen sighs, "as usual your jokes are as stupid as ever."

"You wound me Allen."

Hikaru steps on Kujou's foot while saying "your stupidity will get you killed one day."

As Kujou collapsed on the floor trying to endure the pain in his foot that Hikaru gave him, she turns back to Allen with a sigh. "Now I'm probably guessing you're going to make me sing some stupid lullaby to you for the fun of it. Aren't you?"

Allen smiles cheekily while shrugging, he nods his head mockingly and takes a deep breathe. "Well, I wouldn't mind very much if it was you who sang me a lullaby because you have a pretty voice that can rival the Japanese singer Suzuki Yuki. However the place and time needs to be planned first, after all, it would totally ruin my vision of you as a fairy of music. So how about we plan this out first before we get started?" Hikaru slaps him on the head, "Allen, you brat. What fairy of music? Are you trying to get on my nerves? The next time you use me for your disgusting delusions you're not going to get off with just a bump on your head."

"I'm not a brat." Allen pouts "just treat me as a brother you never had!"

"Um. Hey, I don't know whether you've forgotten that I'm still here but can you not treat me as a third wheel? It's insulting." Kujou smiles stupidly as he walks over towards them. Hikaru and Allen sigh at him.

"He's an idiot." Allen shakes his head in disdain.

"No, he's not an idiot." Hikaru corrects him, "he is a shameless moron who can't even tell the difference between dinner and breakfast." She points towards the ruined pot of burnt stew. Allen sniggers rising his chin up and

laughs while sighing. "Yeah, you're right! Even if you tell him to make you

a French breakfast, he would probably mistake it for an Italian cuisine! If you asked him to cook a traditional Japanese dinner he'd cook you a British Dinner! He's a natural born retard!"

Kujou cried out in frustration and ran out of the kitchen. Hikaru ran after him. "Oh no you don't! You are not leaving without cleaning that bewitching pot of stew!"

"B-bewitching?!" Kujou turns around to face Hikaru, "how can you say such a mean thing?! It was made with all my love for everyone!"

"Disgusting! Don't go making perverted things in the morning! Who in their right mind would want to eat such heavy foods in the morning?!"

"Ugh... Why are you so mean to me?!" Kujou runs out of the kitchen. Hikaru and Allen run after him. "Hey! Don't run off without cleaning up your mess!"

"Leave me alone!"

Allen suddenly snaps, running forward even faster, taking out an ugly looking ball which had a yellow string attached to it. He pulls onto the string, then throws it at Kujou like a baseball. Then KABOOM! The ugly looking ball explodes with Kujou in it.

"Whoa." Hikaru widens her eyes with anticipation. Smoke spreads out in the corridor, they both stop running. Allen smiles, "that should slow the retard a bit!"

Hikaru looks at him awkwardly. "You did stop him... But I think you went overboard."

Allen innocently smiles with fake teary eyes, "no, it's not going

overboard. Not for stupid Kujou, 'cause he's so stupid and his skin is really thick so he won't die from something like that! To be honest the only thing he'll die from is that stupidity of his."

"Hah! Such harsh words coming from a twelve-year-old brat!"

"Why're you taking his side?!" Allen pouts. "Even if he died, I

wouldn't care."

"WADDA YA MEAN YOU DON'T CARE?!!" The smoke finally clears, while coughing, Kujou runs up to Allen grabbing his navy blue jumper. Getting all teary he yells at Allen, "Are you trying to kill me?!"

"But you're not dead are you?"

"Well it was an attempt wasn't it?!!"

Hikaru stares at the frustrated Kujou and Allen who was obviously enjoying it.

"Look here Kujou, who told you to run off like that? If you ask me, it's your own damn fault. You know? Who told you to leave your mess in the kitchen and take off like that you douchebag?"

Allen laughs.

Kujou widens is his eyes like an abandoned puppy. "Why're you taking his side?! Why is the world so cruel to me?! Lord have mercy on my fragile and pitiful soul!"

Hikaru smirks, "what fragile soul? You should leave out the fragile part. It needs to be 'pitiful soul' to match that stupid personality of yours."

Kujou snaps, "Shut up! No. actually both of you stupid assassins can go start looking for missions! Wait, don't tell me your no long needed because you've lost your touch? Pathetic!"

Allen snaps, "what?!"

Hikaru glares at Kujou, "now you've done it."

Both Allen and Hikaru land a punch at Kujou's face, he collapses with a loud thud.

Allen smiles blissfully, "so Hikaru, you don't mind if I go ahead and teach this moron a lesson?"

"He's all yours."

Hikaru walks of as Allen mercilessly beats up Kujou.

HIKARU SIGHED MASSIVELY, after the commotion early in the morning, Hikaru was exhausted. She was laying down near a tree reading a large book. She had wrapped herself with a thick blue scarf and wore a red coat with white shorts above the knee.

"Hmm? What do we have here?" Hikaru looked up to see a beautiful young foreign man. His silky long, blonde hair reached up to his shoulders. His blue eyes reflected like sapphire stones. His lips were rosy red and his skin was as white as pure white snow. He wore a plain white long-sleeved shirt and light blue jeans which reaches to his feet. He was around the same age as Hikaru.

Hikaru stares at the boy indifferently, she ignores him and goes back to reading her book. Five minutes later, the boy is still standing there watching her. Hikaru closes her book shut and looks up to the boy once more. "What?"

The boy smiled arrogantly, he crouches down and strokes Hikaru's hair. She flinches at his sudden movements. "So, you must be that ace assassin everyone in the white house praises about all the time."

Hikaru stands up holding the book in her left hand. She motions to walk away when suddenly the boy sticks his leg out which makes Hikaru trip and fall. She lands on ground with her face. Hikaru angrily gets up again and furiously turns to face the boy while shouting, "What the hell do you want?"

"Nothing really."

Hikaru's face heats up in anger just by looking at his face. "If you don't tell me why you came looking for me right now, I'll seriously kill you!"

He smiles mischievously, the boy grabs Hikaru by the arm and abruptly pulls her towards him. Hikaru falls into his arms, he hugs her tightly while at the same time laughing before letting her go again. "My name is Ryuki Masaomi." He gallantly walks of leaving Hikaru speechless.

HIKARU SIGHED AS SHE DREW ON KUJOU'S SLEEPING FACE. Allen glanced at Hikaru, "what's wrong? You've been sighing a lot recently." He paused looking sheepishly happy he yells excitingly, "Maybe you fell in love at first sight?!" Hikaru stares at him blankly and Kujou abruptly wakes up, "Wait, that's not true is it?! You, the beautiful ice queen who has rejected over one hundred guys actually fell in love with someone at first sight?"

"Huh?" Hikaru asks confused.

"Oh my god, the world's gonna end." Kujou cries.

"All Hikaru's fans will go into a frenzy." Allen exaggerates, "It'll be all on the newspapers headlines: WHITE HOUSE'S NO.1 TOP BEAUTIFUL ASSASSIN FALLS IN LOVE!"

She hits both Allen and Kujou and glares at them, "On what basis made you think I actually fell in love?! Don't make false accusations!"

The two boys look at Hikaru then give a sigh of relieve.

Kujou scratches his head, "Phew, so I guess we'll be able to live another day of peace."

Hikaru asks angrily, "what do you mean by that?"

Allen answers for Kujou, "what he means is that all those people who

admire you would harass me and Kujou who are closest to you if you actually started dating someone."

"What a joke." She retorts.

"Well," Allen smiles happily, "to those who really respect you see us as your right-hand men who basically keep away unnecessary people who try to get close to you. Basically we decide to whether or not that person is worthy of your love."

"Well actually," Kujou interrupts, "it's mostly Subaru's decision to decide that. Since to everyone, you're like an untouchable goddess."

Hikaru laughs, "Subaru doesn't have a right to decide my future lover. Just like he has no right to decide my friends and colleagues and place of work."

"Hikaru—"

She cuts Kujou off with a glare, there is silence between the three of them. Just when Allen was about to say something to Hikaru, a middle aged woman with bright blonde hair intruded in on them. "Miss Suguro?"

"Yes?" Hikaru replies politely. The lady continues, "The director is calling for you. You've got a new mission. Go to the office right away she says."

Hikaru beams up forgetting her conversation with Allen and Kujou. "Yes! I'll go right away!" she skips of happily.

Allen laughs while Kujou Sighs aphetically. The lady looks at them scarcely, "what's wrong with you two?"

Allen smiles sympathetically, "Ah, I feel a bit sorry for Subaru right now. His unrequited love is really pitiful. His love for Hikaru won't end well."

Kujou nods his head agreeably.

The woman clicks her teeth at the boys. "Instead of worrying about someone else shouldn't you two accept a mission? You're both are top agents of the white house. Please act like one."

"Ah it seems that we have an appointment, right Allen?" Kujou avoids the woman's words and prompts Allen. He catches on and violently nods his head. "We should be going now!" they both sneak away scarcely. Before they managed to get away the woman suddenly speaks catching them off guard. "Ah come to think of it, that mission the director gave to Hikaru was quite special." Allen and Kujou stop, turning around Allen asks, "what do you mean Miss?"

She smirks, "the young Miss is going on a special mission with another agent."

"What?!" Kujou shouts and Allen panics.

"Hikaru would never agree to that! She's always done things solo and discriminates anyone else who tries to go on a duet mission with her."

Kujou joins in, "That's right, that's right! Who would dare to go against Hikaru the almighty ice queen? It won't end well."

The woman smiles sinisterly at Kujou and Allen, "Miss Suguro may be the top female agent in the White House however, I hope you haven't forgotten that top male agent Ryuki Masaomi? He's a total hunk, all the women drool all over him. However, he rarely shows an interest in women. More like he sees them as trash."

"That doesn't matter!!" Allen shouts out hysterically, "That despicable guy is known to be a complete psycho!"

"Urgh..." Kujou puts his hands over his head restlessly, "There's a storm brewing. Ryuki the psycho and Hikaru Suguro the ice queen on a mission together? Bad move."

STANDING THERE OUTSIDE THE OFFICE, Hikaru knocks on the door. A voice replies, "Come in." Hikaru opens the door and enters the office calmly.

There is a woman wearing a white suit and silver hair, she was sitting in a big chair near a glass desk, her eyes was the colour of the evening sun, and her smile was devilish yet at the same time, it was as sweet and gentle as an angel's.

"I'm here director." Hikaru bows before the woman. "Hikaru, it's good to see you again, how are you?"

"I'm fine thank you. The mission you set for me, who is it this time?"

The beautiful director smiles then speaks, "this mission requires two agents.

This mission is not necessary to eliminate the target. You will need to go on a mission with another agent. Don't worry. He is quite skilled; you could say he's on the same level as you."

Hikaru protests fiercely, "Director! You know that I absolutely detest working in duet missions! Please give this mission to someone else!"

"I can't."

"Why not?!"

"Because this a special mission involves your birth family, the Kamiyas."

Hikaru goes quiet suddenly realising what the director meant.

"So, who's this so-called agent that I'll be working with?"

The director smiles triumphantly, "come in now."

The door behind Hikaru opens, she looks behind her to see a familiar face.

A plain long white sleeved shirt, light blue jeans, deep blue eyes like sapphires, silky long blonde hair and skin as pure as white snow. It was Ryuki Masaomi.

"What the...?" He swears the moment he sees Hikaru. Furious, Hikaru glares at the director, "director! What the hell is that thing doing here?!"

"What did you just say, you stupid little queen!" he yells back.

"Shut it Dandelion!!"

As the two yell at each other forgetting the presence of the director. The director watches and laughs loudly startling Hikaru and Ryuki.

"Um, director Anise? Why are you laughing...?" Ryuki says nervously.

"It doesn't matter why the director's laughing." Hikaru says irritated, "all that matters right now is that I am not going to this mission if I have to work with him!"

"Hikaru. Ryuki." The director glares at them so intensely that a chill goes down their spines. "It has already been decided. You will both go on this mission whether you like it or not."

"I refuse. I'm going on a different mission." Hikaru protests as she walks away. "I'll think about this after I finish my mission in Kyoto."

"I thought you said you weren't interested in the mediocre mission?"

"Well I've changed my mind." Cutting of the director, Hikaru walks out of the office furiously.

It was now just Ryuki and director Anise. She smiles gently at him and asks, "So Ryuki, what do you think Hikaru after meeting her for the first time?"

He smirks, "she's different from those annoying bitches that's for sure. She didn't even squeal like other women do whenever they see my face."

The director laughs out loud, "Well, Hikaru is not a normal person anyway! If looks alone could make her fall for you then she would've fallen in love a long time ago."

"However! That doesn't change the fact that I hate women, don't forget that!" Ryuki walks out of the office slamming the door.

The director laughs out loud. She then glances over at the black, she smiles to herself, "you can come out now Leo."

"Ah, it seems that you've caught me red handed Miss Annise."

"How many do I have to tell you not to call me that Leo? It's 'director' not 'Miss'." She hisses at him.

"Yes ma'am."

Leo comes out the curtains and walks his way to director Annise's desk nonchalantly. He is a tall young man in his early thirties, he wears a long black suit along with a butler's white gloves smart and black shoes. He has amber-brown hair which reaches from his head to his shoulder, he wears thick temple glasses and his skin is slightly tanned like burnt ginger.

Leo smiles brightly at the irritated director, "hmm? Why the sad face? Did the rejection of both the top employees of our company on this mission make you depressed?"

"Do I look depressed to you?" she says bitterly while glaring at him. He winces and looks the other way, "no, not at all milady. You look rather angry."

"And why is that?" she asks.

Leo hesitates nervously, "because..."

"Because...?"

Unable to take anymore of the director's torturous questions, he gives in with a heavy sigh as if he has resigned to his fate. He bows to the director pleadingly. "Because I so shamelessly hid in the curtains to eavesdrop on you and Lady Hikaru's and that young man's conversation! However, what I did was just out of curiosity since there was the talk of Lady Hikaru the infamous ice queen: heartbreaker of men and Ryuki Masaomi the psycho prince: hater of women are going to be working together on a mission! The number one heartbreaker and the number one woman hater! The perfect match! It's a perfect love story between two of the most famous top agents in the White House! I just couldn't hold myself back from the gossip and rumours! I am extremely sorry! I swear it will never happen again so please let me off just this once!!"

"Alright, alright, I'll let you off the hook if you answer my question."

"Yes ma'am!" he says eagerly.

"What do you think of those two?"

Leo is taken aback by the director's question but snaps out of it and answers "in my opinion, they are a match made in heaven."

"Right, right. You think so too." She smiles mischievously, Leo suddenly realised the real reason why the director assigned Hikaru and Ryuki on the same mission. He smiles to himself, "Director Annise, you are extremely cunning I must say. Very cunning indeed."
