Aya rolled her eyes slightly at his remark that he would stare at her all day if she were naked. But she went back to drawing, putting her ear buds back in.

"The headmistress' welcoming speech will begin in fifteen minutes. All students, please report to the auditorium at this time."

The announcement was repeated a second time and was then silent. The hustle and shuffle of students all migrating towards the auditorium, the large building behind the classroom building, replaced the silence left in the wake of the announcements.

There were sounds of talking and whispers in the auditorium seats that were immediately silenced as a stern looking woman in heels and an expensive suit took the stage, tapping the microphone and clearing her throat before speaking. For the rest of the school year, this would be the only time the students witnessed the woman. In fact, this was her first ever public appearance, most of the time employing a body double since she was a high value target and...she hated doing mundane shit like this.

~"Welcome one and all to Seiko Academy!"~ In contrast to her firm appearance, her demeanor was sincere, jovial even. Of course, this was all a ruse played by the deceitful woman, fake, toothy smiles and all. The ten students sitting on the front row knew well Natsume-Sama was a devil in disguise. The woman would smile as she gave you a Sicilian necktie.

~"For years, Seiko Academy has been educating young men and women, molding them into model citizens and preparing them for a bright future upon graduation. I for one am very proud to be carrying on the tradition set forth by my grandfather, may he rest in peace. For those of you who do not know, my name is Natsume Hibana, Headmistress of Seiko Academy. It is both my honor and my privilege to ensure that your education proceeds as smoothly and as fully as possible. I work tirelessly to ensure that every minute of your time here is memorable and fulfilling. And I'm not alone."~

At this, Hibana turned to the men and women sitting behind her, among the teachers, her right hand Azuma, casting a vigilant glare upon Class Noir. Hibana then resumed, ~"These fine men and women you see behind me are not just your instructors, they are your friends as well. If ever you need someone to talk to, the teachers' offices are always open after school hours. My staff and I work hard to make sure that you enjoy every day, every waking moment of your high school life. With that said, welcome once again to Seiko Academy!"~

The auditorium filled with thunderous applause and cheering, more so from the teachers. Hibana left the stage during this time, followed by Azuma. Once they were behind the curtain, the true Hibana emerged like a blossoming, poisonous nightshade.

~"Ugh! I feel like I want to throw up after saying that..."~ She muttered in a venomous tone, taking a cigarette from her ornate cigarette case and clenching it firmly between her lips with a scowl. Azuma snickered under his mask beside her, producing a lighter to light her smoke, "That was quite a lovely speech, Natsume-Sama."

Hibana glared at him, taking a drag then exhaling a thick wisp of smoke, ~"If you ever say that again, Azuma-San, I will have you shot. Have Class Noir report to my office immediately."~ And with that, the woman strolled away, the telltale clacking of her high heels across the polished wood floor of the stage. "At once, Natsume-Sama." Azuma replied, but his boss had by then left the building.

The strange man appeared again from behind the curtain, approaching the podium and adjusting his crimson tie. "Will the students of Class 2-C please report to Miss Natsume Hibana's office at once. The rest of you, enjoy your free day at the academy. Classes will begin bright and early tomorrow morning. That is all."

Dai put his phone in his pocket and looked at his small map that only consisted of the way to Hibana's office. He eventually stopped by the door and sat down, wanting to see the other members of Class Noir. He hoped his predictions about the boy and girl were correct, as that would mean his skills had not failed him.

[Nikki Moonlight]

@Flightless_Soul@DriveEMOut@King Tai

Aya followed the boy very discreetly. She was new in Class Noir, just enrolled after she fought on the grounds of the school and had swiftly but efficiently taken down Class Noir students, unknowing to her, that got her into the Class. She felt like she had a hunch on who Daiki was, and what Class he was in.

[DriveEMOut]

@Nikki Moonlight
"Hello, Shi Aya. How has your summer assignment been? I assure you that I will not use this information against you, however I will put this down in my notes." He took out his phone and opened the Notes app, waiting for a response. "There is no harm in a little interview, is there? I enjoy expanding my knowledge, so that I may use your reaction in this situation for the future. So, how about it?"

[Nikki Moonlight]

@DriveEmOut

Aya did not answer him on that. But she finally said, "Why do you want to know how my assignment has been? Do you always stick your nose in other people's business?" Her voice was icy, quite cold, but there was an underlying hint of something else in her tone. Something unreadable. This guy had no reason to poke in on the assignment SHE had been given. So why was he?

Her mission had been to dispatch an enemy of the syndicate Headmistress Hibana had asked her to go on. The man was a huge pervert and it had been easy to seduce the man, using her womanly charm to get close to him, then take him out. Sure, she had lost her virginity to the asshole, but she was successful. She had read a file on him beforehand, knowing he liked younger women. Much younger. The man was a pedophile on his own time.

The loudspeaker rudely pulled Minato out of his half trance. He didn't really know the headmistress, but he really enjoyed her speech, and felt that she was a happy and content woman, eager to support the learning of the next generation. Hold on, class 2-C? That was him! He got up and rushed to the principal's office.

The inside of the office was well cooled and strangely ornate for a principal's office. It also had a severe lack of inspirational posters. Minato didn't really take notice of them in his other schools, but now without a kitty hanging on a branch captioned "hang in there", the place seemed a little devoid of joy. Maybe he should put something like that in the suggestion box, right after he suggests a suggestion box.

[King Tai]

After hearing out the welcoming speech, Ringo stood and headed out of the auditorium, looking at his map to the office. Seeing the other two he sort of met heading the same way he was, he knew these two were of the same caliber as himself but didn't say anything as he passed the two as they were talking. Class 2-C huh? well he was going to see what this woman was going to bring before them as he noticed another who was of the same class as himself and the other two as he crossed his arms and waited for the Head Mistress to speak.

[DriveEMOut]

@Nikki Moonlight
"Quite the contrary, madam. I could figure out everything about you if I wanted. But I gave you the option to tell me first. Yet you have the audacity to say I stick my nose in other people's business. Keep that in mind, Aya." He walked into the office and sat down in the nearest chair, entering more things on his notes.

[Nikki Moonlight]

@bloonewb@Flightless_Soul@King Tai@DriveEMOut

Aya rolled her eyes and got to the Headmistress's office, taking a seat away from the group that had formed. She was the only girl in the group, it seemed... At that she frowned slightly. She turned her attention to the admittedly beautiful woman in front of her. Aya was much like Hibana, however not quite as devious.

[Flightless_Soul]

@DriveEMOut@King Tai@Nikki Moonlight@bloonewb

They had all gathered in her lavishly decorated office, all ten of them, her deadly flock, and she, the shepherd that molded them into who they were. A wry smirk formed upon her luscious lips, her eyes twinking mischievously, even in the dim glow of her office as she stood, both hands behind her back.

~"Good morning, my angels of death."~ Hibana addressed them, her voice smooth as velvet as it escaped her lips, a sensuous purr. ~"I've missed you all summer, though, we have accomplished so much, you and I. Requiem is now more powerful than ever. We have cornered the drug market from our Colombian rivals, and now we manufacture and sell nearly eighty percent of all illegal narcotics in the world. All it took was the murder of eight prominent drug lords to incite a war between the major Colombian cartels. I can't thank you enough for a job well done..."~

Her voice trailed off however, her gentle, delicate features...now hardening like stone, her feigned smile receding into a bitter, vengeful scowl. ~"...is what I would be saying to some of you...if you didn't fail me."~ Hibana hissed like a black mamba coiling back to strike, her emerald eyes, the light fading from them, leaving two dark green orbs in sharp slits. The woman...was truly a serpent. ~"Out of ten operations, two of you failed! Your targets escaped and are still at large to this day!"~ As Hibana paced about the room before Class Noir, two students, visibly frightened, shivered at her mere presence. Twas as if Death herself had strolled past them. ~"No matter... The others will be sure to correct your mistakes, hopefully before the bastards launch a counter attack. These two, on the other hand, students, watch and learn... This organization does not tolerate failure, and neither do I. In fact, I frown upon it sorely. All failures shall be punishable....

BY DEATH!"~

The woman suddenly whirled around. Two loud, deafening bangs erupted throughout the room, followed by the two students crumbling to the floor, both with gory gunshot wounds spewing blood and brain matter. Hibana flipped her pistol back on safe and set it on her desk with an irritated sigh. ~"Just so we are clear, children, I will not tolerate any of you failing your contracts. You are paid handsomely for your services. We expect you to perform as well as you are compensated. If I am to ever hear that a target escaped unharmed...I will put a fucking bullet in your pretty little heads...JUST LIKE THESE TWO SORRY FUCKS!"~ She snarled pointing down at the two bleeding corpses with a sharp crimson fingernail. ~"Azuma-San, take these two corpses to the furnace. They're getting blood on my nice Persian rug!"~

Azuma nodded quietly and snapped his fingers. In a matter of seconds, the two burly door men rushed in without a word and dragged the bodies away.

Hibana then collapsed in her chair with an exasperated sigh, swiveling around to face the remaining eight and take a small sip of wine to cool her nerves.

~"Ahh...Sorry for that little display, children."~ Her voice calmed. ~"Tis a sad day when I have to execute one of our own, but I have a business to run, and I can't have any unsavory employees lingering about. So then, onto business. New contracts are in circulation for this year. I expect each and every one of them to be fulfilled before the school year is up. You will be briefed on your missions early tomorrow morning, 7:30 AM sharp! Until then, continue maintaining your cover as students of the academy. If your cover is blown...well...you know the consequences. That is all. Now go."~

Rather crass the woman waved them off with a flick of her wrist, lighting a cigarette and taking a drag. ~"Aya-chan."~ She called however to the only female student of Class Noir. ~"I need you to stay. There are important matters I must discuss with you privately. The rest of you, to your dorms. I expect you here bright and early tomorrow, or you'll be digging your own grave."~

[DriveEMOut]

@Nikki Moonlight@flightless_Soul@bloonewb@King Tai
Dai got up, amused. He hadn't expected a show. The execution was perfect, seeing as Hibana had reacted with emotion. Perhaps she wasn't the best assassin there could be. He walked towards the dorm, hands in his pocket, while his jacket's hood was still up. His crime boss had been one of the best. It had been hard infiltrating his ranks, but it was better than summer camp. Dai arrived at his dorm, and sat on the bed, going through his notes. I wonder who my roommate is.

[Nikki Moonlight]

@DriveEMOut@King Tai@bloonewb

Aya did not react to the execution with any emotion whatsoever, despite the fact two of the other students had just been killed. She simply blinked a little, her thick, long lashes brushing her cheeks a little.

@Flightless_Soul

As the others had gone, Aya was now alone with the Headmistress. "What matters did you want to speak with me about, My Lady?" she asked respectfully. Her normally icy blue eyes held respect in them, and some other unreadable emotion. Her hands were behind her back as she stood looking at the woman before her.

[Flightless_Soul]

@Nikki Moonlight

Hibana got straight to the point after taking another sip of wine, a professional and clean cut demure from her earlier snarling beastliness, ~"You've been my most trusted assassin for a year. After you took care of that libidinous prick and his child pornography ring, I knew I could call upon you for the most unsavory tasks, and you would answer without argument. You have no morals, no qualms. Sadly..."~ She sighed, her poker face seeming to peel away. The old bat, she was growing too soft with age, perhaps because instead of her out there with blood on her hands, she was letting the next generation of cutthroats take her place...in more ways than one. ~"As I grow older, my resolve is beginning to waver. I let my emotions get the best of me during that foolish display, and for that, I'm deeply ashamed. I guess I'm no longer Natsume-Hibana, the deadliest woman in the world. Ah...listen to me. Woe with me and all that shit. That's beside the point."~

She stood from her chair, a stern glance to the young beauty before her standing at attention. ~"I have a special assignment for you. The others, I'm sure they would object to it. Enrico Maracoli is an Italian Mafia boss located in Los Angeles, California. He's a hard nosed bastard, a conservative boss who won't allow any drugs or prostitution on his turf. We recently sent one of our advisors to negotiate a business deal between his Family and Requiem. He responded by sending our advisor back...cut to pieces. I want that son of a bitch to pay dearly for his insult. I want you, Aya-chan...to kill his entire family, his wife and three lovely little children. We will send a message to the bastard, no one...no one insults Natsume Hibana. You'll receive the details of your targets when you arrive at Los Angeles International tomorrow morning. You're dismissed."~

[Nikki Moonlight]

@Flightless_Soul

The young woman bowed deeply. "Of course, Natsume-sama. I won't fail you." Her expression was emotionless. She turned and walked out of the office. She wouldn't tell her father or mother until after her assignment. Though this was an assignment her father would definitely be proud of. Coming from a long line of assassins from her father's side, she was taught the basics of the trade at a young age: Be discreet, don't get caught, and use whatever means you have to accomplish your goal. Unfotunately for her, her mother never approved of anything, she never had. She didn't approve of her unless she got top grades in school. Her father was a part of Requiem. Though he worked from the shadows. She shook her head to clear her thoughts and focused on her mission. This should be easy. Unless this man's wife had a gun and was trained to use it. Then it would be slightly more difficult. But Aya was swift, agile.

@King Tai

Aya did not notice as she walked past Ringo, a look of emotionlessness on her face, though a tiny smirk played her plump, pale lips.

[King Tai]

@DriveEMOut@Nikki Moonlight@bloonewb@Flightless_Soul

Ringo listened intently but with a jaded look on his face, Hibana speaking to them about not tolerating failure, blasting to two students who failed their mission. Ringo had to hold in his laughter watching this cool calm students getting killed gangsta style, nearly wanting to point his fingers at the dead fools. One thing about Ringo was he never returns back home without finishing what he started. As the kids laid there dead, and his face scrunching up trying to hold in the chuckles, He straightened up hearing about getting their new missions.

Ringo hoped that he'd get a mission where he wouldn't have to kill from a distance. Those were the less favored ones as he loved using blades and choke wires to kill off his target. Even if he has to fight them...

As they were dismissed, Ringo was curious on what Aya received. He figured it was a mission solely for her. I mean, doing a little snooping around was what he does and...he heard about this girl handling some pedophile prick...he wished he was there to see it.

He spoke up to Aya "Someone seems happy. Have fun and make sure you bring me back a souvenir." Ringo's last mission was dealing with a terrorist supplier helping out one of Requiem's rivals. Killing off the supplier was not the hard part, getting out of his trap was. Either way, he had plenty of blood that night. He gave Aya a salute but wanted to ask something else.

[Nikki Moonlight]

@King Tai

Aya stopped and turned to look at him, smirk fading. "There's something else you want to ask me about." She had a small frown fixed on her face now. The young beauty folded her arms over her chest and she stared at him unblinkingly.

[Flightless_Soul]

As soon as the teen left the office, Hibana ambled weakly over to her record player, switching out the earlier record for something else. When the needle touched the black vinyl, the office was filled with a somber atmosphere, a traditional, yet tragic melody played upon a shamisen.

The woman sighed, abruptly blindsided by a fit of several painful coughs racking her body. She fell into her chair, just the mere act of crossing the room feeling as though she had run an entire marathon. Hibana...she couldn't deny it any longer...

She turned her chair to face the window. The view of the academy was lovely this time of year. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom all across the campus grounds, the grasses so verdant and vibrant with tiny white and yellow flowers. The warmth of the early morning sun felt good on her skin, good on her bones aching and shivering.

Hibana sighed taking a drag from her cigarette. She had made the right choice...hopefully.

It's no secret...I'm going to burn in Hell for all that I've done, but at least I will rest in peace knowing that my legacy shall continue.

[King Tai]

@Nikki Moonlight

Ringo noticed Aya caught him wanting to ask her something else. "Just a little curious about something....what's your weapon of choice? What did you kill that pedo-prick with?"

[Nikki Moonlight]

@King Tai

Aya raised a brow. She was quite good at reading most people's body language. She replied, "I used a pearl necklace his wife had to strangle him." She turned to leave, her scent quite noticeable as it hit his nose.
