Thread: Ansatsu Kyōshitsu: Bye Bye Yesterday (Athene & East)

Megu Kataoka Rinka Hayami Megu wasted little time in refilling her cup back up whilst Nagsia gave his answers. Oddly ... it seemed very applicable. In fact, it made quite a bit of sense. The harsh truth was ... he was right. The hidden bomb had been something that not only she couldn't control, but even Chiba and Rinka had failed to detect. Her head throbbed slightly, a clear sign the sake was beginning to work its magic on her. Still, she forced her memory to work, much to the annoyance of her body. ... They wanted .... diplomatic immunity or some shit like that? Of course, it would have been impossible. That possibility went out the window the moment they killed her friend and a passenger on the plane. The fact these terrorists were trying to demand it from Japan though ... why? It doesn't feel that simple. Not yet but ... maybe. Hopefully. Raising her glass once more, Megu took another sip. Finally, her tears had at least slowed as she solemnly thought about her school days in 3-E. She had been trained to fight. To kill . And while some could say the life of an assassin wasn't a pretty nor honorable one, at least the targets were justified. Considering she was starting to question if she had somehow gotten out of a very political - and maybe even religious - crisis, was that another sign? Granted, not everyone who perished would likely want to be avenged. But she at least wanted to help Emi rest in her afterlife. She deserved it, and dying in such a violent way wouldn't allow her to find peace or serenity. At this rate, it's becoming obvious I did more than survive. I got ridiculously lucky and avoided .... something. This wasn't a mere hijacking. Not sure what it was, but even the government workers got that impression. I heard that much before leaving. Sniffling softly, Megu rose her arm and wiped any tears remaining on her face off. That ... actually made perfect sense. I'm not completely done coping with this, but compared to a few hours ago, I'm definitely better. So .... thanks. Finishing her second - or was it third already? - cup of sake, Megu would refill it before smiling softly at Nagisa. So ... what are you going to do then since you've decided teaching isn't your calling. I still don't know for myself. Not sure if I'll stay with anything feminine that seems to be a cursed request with me. It wasn't the best joke then again, humor had never been her strong suit. Still, it was enough to make her chuckle softly. And even if it may not seem like much, it actually was quite the start toward treading down the right path. Oho? Am I rubbing off on you, Ryunosuke? Hayami mused with a sly smirk. You don't usually curse, Mr. By-The-Book and all that shit. True though it definitely is time he turned around and joined us. Not that I think he was a horrible teacher but .... he did graduate as our valedictorian for a damn good reason. A soft sigh passed her lips as she leaned back and rested her head against the headboard. Already, she was making a mental to-do list ... well, trying to. The main thing she continued to come up with - annoyingly enough - was all of that goddamned paperwork. About time, she teased, Something has gotta give. You've still kept your face and eyes hidden, so .... reveal something else to me. And boy did she get quite the revelation. He ... did want her as much as she'd wanted him? ... Chiba-san ... Her face flushed, turning quickly red within mere seconds of hearing his confession. Her heart was beating wildly ... and after at least twenty seconds passed, she pinched herself with her empty hand. Just to be damn sure she wasn't dreaming. Alternatively, if Rinka was, she hoped to fall back asleep so this could never end. They were paired up for a damn good reason. While sniping was their forte, they could use any type of firearm if push came to shove. And right now, she felt as if he'd shot her at point blank range. But rather than being hurt by the bullet, she was fueled on. Inspired, and even more determined than before. If you think you can keep handling my flaws for another long while, then yes. I'll definitely have you, Ryunosuke Chiba. Turning in her seat so she was siting sideways, Rinka rose the hand she was still holding and lightly pressed her lips against Ryunosuke's hand. I'd do that on your lips ... but you're driving. Best to avoid crashing the company van and all. That being said ... you sound like you have something in mind? Feel free to fill me in. Just don't forget that we still have that nuisance known as paperwork to deal with ... eventually. We can't hide from that forever, unfortunately. They were both similar in that regard both were people of action ad thus plans. Unfortunately, this hadn't been something she could admit to expecting to hear. Not now ... maybe not ever. So, she didn't have any immediate plans on how to help accompany her partner. However, he seemed like he had some thoughts, so Hayami would gladly hear them out. There were few things that could even make Rinka uneasy or deny anything, more so if it was applied to Chiba. So there were more chances she'd agree than disagree to whatever he had going through his mind.
