Sky's room, Sky is staring blankly at his computer home screen, then Chris gets in. "Worried about Itsuki-kun?" "Shut up..." "You afraid that he will be a sacrifice of this stupid chaos?" "Nah...It will be better if he been killed by the KILLER group, at least they are not allies with the Gospeler. If the Gospeler got him then..." "Don't think too much about that. I'm sure you wouldn't let that happen...right?" "You give me stress Chris...By the way, aren't you having a tennis practice right now?" "Yeah! I totally forgot about that! I need to win that tournament...*get his outfit and racket*...see ya!" "Cih...You better win the tournament!"
Yes, totally normal for a tennis practice at night time.

The next day, in school... "Hey Chris, where's Sky?" "Hell like I know... *took out his racket and outfit*... Anyway~ I have to go, the tournament will start soon. See you later Kenji." Chris walked away. "Hey! Wait! Damn! What's wrong with them? And where's Itsuki? Ah! Whatever!"
At the same time, somewhere near an abandoned school block, Ai-chan seems to be alone, staring blankly at the old building as if it gives her an old memory. Suddenly, a tall figure appeared behind her. "So you are here after all." "Itsuki-kun..." "Just going to stand like that for the whole days? Well, that will not solve anything right?*smile*" "..." Ai hesitated for a while then took out her dagger, she walks slowly towards Itsuki, she rises up the dagger as if she wants to stab Itsuki at his chest, but then she stopped. "I can't do it, after all, I can't find a reason why you should die." "It's that so?" Itsuki seems a little bit disappointed, blanked for a few second, he grabbed Ai-chan's hand that is holding the dagger, pushed that hand along with the dagger to his own chest, blood spilled out from the wound... "See? It's not that hard right?" said Itsuki with his signature big smile...

Chapter 11- The Truth?
"Hey! What the hell are you doing?" said Seito that came out of nowhere. Ai stare sharply at Seito for a few seconds before she leaves with the dagger still at Itsuki's chest...
Later, in hospital... "For the God sake, I can't believe that you actually crazy enough to do that, my stupid cousin!" "Well~ I did that every time, it's not like that kind of injury will kill me or what. *smile and open up his shirt a bit to show his wound* see? It's just a small cut, this kind of weapon and attack will not be able to give me any big damage." "You really leave me speechless... Thanks for your unique body mechanism, if not you would have died countless times!" "*Knock knock* "Must be the duos(Sky and Chris), I go open the door *open the door* Damn! It's really you two." "The hell with that damn?" "Sky, stop that, we came here to visit Itsuki-kun alright? *look at Itsuki* You sure looks energetic for someone who just got stab in the chest a few hours ago." said Chris "Haha..." Seito can't help but laugh at what Chris just said. "Hey! Itsuki..." Sky tries to say something but stop all the sudden, the atmosphere around turns heavy, after a few second of blank, Sky spoke. "Hey... you know that you should not even stay alive? You should just die..." Hearing that Seito became enraged and pushed Sky to the wall. "Is that all you can say?!" Sky remains silent "Come on! Speak out! What the hell you mean by that?" said so, Seito about to punch Sky". Seeing this Chris quickly pushed Seito away from Sky. "You have been quite rude Kenji, We are at the hospital..." "Rude? I'm.." "Don't interrupt me when I'm speaking!" said Chris with a serious or rather scary face. Seito is a bit shock and remains silent. "Well... I'm sure that he didn't mean what he said but still, I need to tell you for the one last time. This guy here is not anyone that you should pin on the wall and punched whenever you want, got it?" Again, the heavy atmosphere... "Alright! I think we should be leaving, sorry for all the chaos, have a good rest Itsuki-kun." Chris leaves the room while dragging Sky along (What?) leaving those two in a totally confused state...
That night, Sky's room… "Hey Sky, about just now, is that really what you mean to said?" "Yes! So what?". Hearing this Chris gives Sky a really annoyed face for a few seconds. "Alright! Alright! I admitted that I really didn't mean to say that, it's just… I suddenly have a strange feeling that Itsuki should die, although I'm not sure why but just feel that he should die, but don't worry I'll fix whatever I bring up just now." "Hmmm… That's really strange… You know what? I have that exact same thing flashed in my mind too just now." "What do you mean by that?" "I don't know…" At this moment, Sky and Chris stared each other anxiously…
The next day, Ai seems to be sneaking in the hospital area, spotted by Itsuki. "What are you doing right here? Worry about me?" As usual, Itsuki gives her a big or rather evil smile, Ai remains silent and tries to walk away but Itsuki grabbed her hand. "I have been thinking this for sometimes, for my parent's death, I think I should forgive you." Ai get her hand out of Itsuki's grip "Well, I don't think there is anything you should forgive me for, as I never killed you parents." said Ai-chan before walking away to another random direction leaving Itsuki standing there alone.
"Now you know why I said you should just die yesterday?" Said Sky that suddenly came out of nowhere with Chris. "No… I don't really understand what is all this about…" "Uh…explain it, Chris." Hearing this, Chris gives Sky a 'I will kill you' look. "Please…." "Damn! Alright! Let me explain…uh…*look at Sky*… Where and what the hell should I explain?" "Ei…. anything…" "O.. kay… well then, Itsuki-kun, don't you even curious about why Ai-chan's 'occupation' is called as a 'killer' instead of some better name like 'assassin' or 'hitman' or how this 'killer' thing different from assassin and hitman?" "No…" "Well…This killer thing is a bit or perhaps a lot more cheaper than a hitman, a hitman is a person that you paid with a large amount of money to end someone's life, but those 'killer' in the killer groups is somewhat like a… domestic animal… if that's the right term to use, domestic animals that people 'buy' for killing purposes. Once they been paid, their life belongs to their 'master' which is the client, if their master wants them to die, they must die, that word 'killer' is literally showing that how low are those individual status in society, usually in the killer group the leader is the master, and that 'KILLER' the killer group Ai-chan's belongs to is the worst of the bad, the leader basically 'buy' all the members into the contract where they are forced to kill whoever they been asked to kill, that 'leader' is basically providing 'killing service' for their customer… uh… out of topic, that's not important, the important thing is that in that KILLER killer group, when the 'killers' fail to complete their quest they will be executed, but it is different when one chooses to give up the quest, which they most probably will get a harsh physical punishment, but as for Ai-chan's case, she is trying to give up her quest but then… uh… you somehow make her failed the quest before she was able to cancel that quest…" "You mean that I cause her to an execution?" "Probably yes."…that leave Itsuki in quite a shock and speechless
"Let's go Chris! I think we should just leave him alone and think about his mistake." "Okay… *whisper* Actually who is the one that doing the cover-up for you?." "Haha! Don't mind! Hey! There is a new event in 'New World' today!" "Ah! Thanks for reminding me, let's go home ASAP."…
