" I Hope You Have Good News For Me Mrs. Kaori... I Don't Leave The House On The 29th For Just Anybody Or Anyreason... Now Then, Shall We Discuss Our Business? "
" Glad You Could Make It... But... Why Exactly Don't You Go Out On The 29th? " At Least, That's What I Think She Said... I Wasn't Really Paying Attention. I Was To Busy Looking Around For Some Maniac To Jump Out Of Seemingly Nowhere And Attack Me... " ...SK? " Alittle Startled I Turned My Attention Back To Her And Tried My Best To Focus
" Um, Yes? " She Stood Up And Gathered Her Things.
" Come With Me SK. We Have To Discuss Our Business Elsewhere Anyway. " She Walked Past Me And Led Me To The Nearby Park. I Had No Idea That This Park Was Here Albeit I Usually Walked Right Past The Place In A Trance On My Walks. I Looked Around Though Probably Not For The Same Reasons She Was, At Least I Assume She Was Looking Around, Once Again Completely Paranoid. I Half Expected Some Psychotic Fish Butcher To Jump Out Of The Bushes And Gut Me On The Spot...
" Alright, We'll Sit Here... Uh... SK? " Once Again I'm Not Sure If It's What She Really Said Granting That I Was Still Looking For The Psychotic Fish Butcher. " SK... What's The Matter? "
" This Day... That's What's The Matter! " I Snapped. " You Never Know What Might Happen On A Day Like This... That Cursed Number... " I More Or Less Was Talking To Myself By The Time I Finished My Sentence...
" SK Please... Just Sit Down. " She Stated In A Slightly Firm Tone. I Thought It Over For A Second... There Could Be Some Oderless Acid On That Bench That Would Eat Away At My Flesh Or It Could Be Some Invisible Super Glue To Keep Me In Place As Some Escaped Mentle Patient Attacked Me... No Don't Be Crazy Just Take A Deep Breath And Sit Down This Is What You Wanted You Idiot I Took A Deep Breath And Sat Down Trying To Look Less Paranoid...
" I Will Not Refer To What I'm Speaking About So Openly... But I'm Sure You Understand Without Me Having To Phrase It Outright Anyhow. " I Remained Silent. I Couldn't Think Of A Thing In The World To Say To This Woman, This New KIRA... She Took A Deep Breath. " I Have Decided... I Will... " She Paused... It Felt Like An Eternity For Me... Then She Continued " ...Accept Your Offer. Now Don't Get All Excited Or Anything... You Have To Prove Yourself To Me. I Can't Just Openly Trust Someone I Know Virtually Nothing About, But Since You Do Share A Very 'Specific' Similarity With Me... I'm Willing To Give You A Chance. As Long As You Remember This ONE Thing... Above All...We CANNOT Be Caught. I Don't Care What We Have To Do... We Cannot Risk Being Captured And Revealed. What We Do... It's In The Savior's Name... In Order To Realize The World They Were Trying To Create... We Must Stain Ourselves In The Blood Of Criminals... And This Is Why We Shall Take Up The Name... As Well As The Cause... "
Her Voice Became Naught But A Slight Whisper. Only Kept Loud Enough For Me To Hear. A Slight Smirk Began To Play Across My Lips... This Was It... This Was What I Had Been Waiting For Ever Since Mrs. J.J. Gave Me The Note... Joy Over Came Me But In A Rather Sadistic Way, I Gazed Deep Into Kaori's Eye's With A New Found Sense Of Excitement... A Sense Of Purpose... A Sense Of Need. Finally I Could Show Her... The WORLD What KIRA Was Truely Capable Of... " So What Do You Say SK... Can I Trust You... With My Very Life? With The Duty To Carry Out Our Pious Task Against Any And All Obstacles That Would Dare Stand Against Us? I Offer You An Olive Branch... This One And Only Time... Do You Accept It Wholeheartedly? Or Meet It With A Dagger... " She Spoke In Riddles... Such A Fasinating Woman... She Seemed So Strong And Yet The Mystery Remained In Those Near Black Eye's... The Wind Began To Blow... Tossing About Her Hair... It Made Her Look That Much More Mysterious... More... Almost Captivating... She Sat In Silence Awaiting My Responce... Finally I Spoke...
" You Offer Me A Branch... " I Started Picking Up Her Riddles Where She Left Off... " Then I Will Take Of This Branch And Work My Way Up The Tree... I Will Give Of Myself To Shield The Tree From The Harshness Of Its Enviernment And Meet The Farmer With The Knife. This Partnership Will Florish As The Field Does With The Rain... This... " I Paused To Look Deeper Into Her Eye's " Will Be One Decision You Will Not Regret Making Mrs. Kaori... " I Left My Eye's Lingering On Her's For A Moment Longer Before She Turned Her Head And Pushed A Box Of Bento Toward Me... I Looked At It Then Finally I Let A Small Laugh Escape Me And I Took The Box From Her Hand Thanking Her For The Lunch. It Was Quite Exquisit. I Wouldn't Think Of Mrs. Kaori Having The Time To Prepair Such A Meal For A Mear Lunch Date Considering She Has A Little Sister At Home... At Least If What Mrs. Megumi Was Telling Me Is True She Has A Little Sister... I Left It Alone For The Moment And We Ate In Silence For The Most Part Before I Asked Her About Her Work And How It Was She Came Into The Field... It Was As If All Thoughts Of Our REAL Business Had Been Forgotten... I Had Pushed Thoughts Of The Day Out Of My Mind Aswell But... If Only The Peace Would Last As Long As I Had Hoped... I Fear... It Was Not So...
