Thank you guys so much for your responses from the last chapter! :D They were really really much appreciated. I'm glad that you find this interesting. ;)

So, uhm, this chapter will be Isuke's, somewhat a continuation of her part from the previous chapter.

Disclaimer: See previous chapter.

Chapter 2:

Isuke had promised to herself that her last mission as an assassin was to kill Ichinose Haru. Needless to say, it was a mission which she had failed pathetically.

Damn that Azuma for making her look weak. Damn her for getting her expelled with a broken arm and wrist. A predicament which had confused and worried her papa greatly. Especially because he still had no idea about Eisuke and Isuke's line of work.

That was months ago, now, after everything, Isuke didn't find the need to continue being an assassin anymore.

'Ah, well, it wasn't the killing nor being an assassin that Isuke likes. It's money~'

Her papa could now provide her as much money as she wanted. Yes, she was spoiled like that.

Besides, the reason why she decided being a part of black class was because her wish was supposed to be her gift for her parents in exchange for the love and care that they had been giving Isuke.

Although Isuke had been ecstatic about their business' success, she still couldn't help but be worried about their safety, mostly her papa's. She and Eisuke could handle anybody standing in their way.

'If only I were there whenever they got close to papa, then those idiots would be dead by now.'

Before Isuke could finish contemplating whether she should go back to killing idiots or not, the sound of a chair scraping against the floor broke through her thoughts.

Eisuke stood up, folding the newspaper and setting it on the table.

"I'll be going now, Isuke. Mama also has some business to tend to." He didn't need to elaborate much because he knew that his daughter could already tell what he meant by that.

"Okay, Mama. Take care~" Isuke flashed her mama a sweet smile, a genuine one.

When Eisuke was about to walk out the door with his briefcase, Isuke shouted after him.

"Don't forget to bring something home for Isuke!" Her mama only raised his hand.

Minutes passed after Eisuke left, Isuke remained sitting, finishing what was left of her late breakfast, or, err... brunch would be the appropriate term.

"So boring." She glared at nothing.

If Isuke had prepared a list of everything she hated, boredom would be present.

So, here she was, taking a walk around the mall.

Guys and girls alike were looking her way whenever she passed them, giving her appreciative glances and stares full of envy.

Well, how could they not?

From her high heels to her fashionable glasses which, by the way, were all branded, she effortlessly attracted attention to herself. Especially so because she had left her midriff bare as usual.

'That's right. Look at Isuke with those expressions.' The pink-haired girl was clearly enjoying what was happening around her.

She went into every stall that she had taken a liking so far, buying anything she thought would complement her.

Isuke's sudden shopping frenzy resulted in a handful of bags.

'Ah, I really need to find someone who could carry these.'

She looked around her, and as if on cue, she saw a tall, good-looking guy beginning to walk towards her.

'Perfect~' She smiled to herself.

A smile which was misinterpreted by the guy whose ego had clearly skyrocketed. His smile became wider and continued to walk like he owned the place.

"You look troubled, miss...?" The stupid guy trailed off.

"Inukai Isuke." She answered with a sickeningly sweet smile that actually meant the opposite.

"Ah, Inukai-san. I'm Takahiro. So, you need any help with those?" He gestured at Isuke's hands.

"Please~" She immediately proceeded to give him the bags. "And if you don't mind, Isuke still needs to look around."

"Sure." He flashed her a toothy grin, which he supposed was charming enough. What a wasted effort.

'Isuke had already seen a more charming grin~' From where she suddenly got that thought, Isuke had no idea. Or she had, she just didn't want to admit it.

The poor guy didn't have any idea on what he had gotten himself into.

Every time he would start a conversation with Isuke, she'd just brush him off by telling him to take a seat because she had to browse for something. And when they were walking together, Isuke would leave Takahiro behind, then fake a smile at his way, encouraging him to follow her. They continued on like this until Isuke was eventually satisfied and went straight to the parking lot where they reached her car.

Takahiro had finished loading all the bags in the car's backseat when he noticed that Isuke's already settled into the driver's seat.

"Thanks for helping Isuke~" She singsonged at him.

"What? Inuka-" Before he could finish talking, Isuke had maneuvered the car around and out of the parking lot.

The poor guy had his jaw hanging open because he thought he had a chance with her. What an idiot.

Isuke spent five hours at the mall. Not that long for someone who had all the time for herself.

The cars of her parents were already at their parking spot when she finally arrived home. She parked her car alongside theirs and exited quietly, bringing the bags with her.

When she reached the door, Isuke could hear some murmurings which she was sure were her parents.

"I'm home~" She greeted them as soon as she walked in.

"Welcome home, Isuke." Her mama was the first to greet her back.

"Where did you go, hon-. Oh, nevermind." When her papa turned around to ask her where she'd gone off to, he immediately decided against it when he saw what was in Isuke's hands.

"Hurry up and put that away, Isuke. Your papa has something important to tell you." She was about to complain when Eisuke's sudden stern gaze almost startled her. It was unusual for him to look that way while at home.

Isuke immediately obeyed her mama, then went back to the living room as fast as she could.

'What is going on?' She thought because her mama was acting weird.

When she came back, her parents were already seated, just waiting for her to do the same. So, she did.

"Can you just tell Isuke now what is going on here?" She was becoming impatient by the suspense.

"Isuke, papa had almost been attacked earlier." Her papa was looking worried when he told her this. Though whether he was worried over his safety or what her reaction would be, Isuke had no idea, but something's telling her it was the latter.

"What?!" She quickly sent a glare to her mama who tried his best to avoid her gaze.

"B-but papa's okay, honey. They didn't even touch me because someone swooped in to save me." He sweated when he saw his daughter's eyes.

'How did we raise her to be this scary?'

"Still, papa! How many times do mama and I will have to remind you to get a bodyguard so you wouldn't be put in a situation like that again?" Isuke uncharacteristically pouted at her papa and folded her arms. Her parents softened at this sight, Isuke's such a good child.

"Actually, I was planning to hire a bodyguard." He smiled at Isuke and Eisuke.

"Really, papa?" Isuke looked giddy, which was really really not like her. Daiki almost wondered where his real daughter was. Almost.

"Yes."

"That's good then~" Isuke seemed genuinely relieved to hear this.

But Eisuke...

Eisuke's frowning. 'I honestly don't want someone by Daiki's side. I want to be the one who will protect him. Just to be sure.'

This hadn't gone unnoticed by Isuke.

"I'm sure mama is happy as well, papa." She casually brought her papa's attention to Eisuke.

"Is that right, Eisuke?" Daiki's excitement over his husband's reaction was clearly seen.

"Yes, Daiki. I am very happy with your decision." Though his face told the exact opposite of what he said. Isuke almost laughed at her mama's answer. This scene was something she would always remember.

"Oh, I'm very sure you are. Because I'm planning to hire a bodyguard for Isuke."

And just like that, Isuke's good mood turned into hell.

"What? Papa, can you please repeat what you just said?" She smiled sweetly at her papa.

"U-uhh. I said I'm going to hire a bodyguard for you." Daiki felt shivers running down his spines by the way his daughter was smiling at her.

"Isuke doesn't need an idiot following her around~" Her face didn't change as she continued to look at her papa.

"But Isuke, it's for your own good. If I have people going after me then it's not impossible that they will go after my daughter as well." Daiki tried to reason out with her.

"What about you then?" She scoffed.

"I'll have your mama by my side, honey."

"Ah, mama, can you just tell papa that I can manage by my own? ~" Isuke's gaze went to Eisuke, who looked like he didn't know what to do.

"Daiki." The white-haired man found it hard to choose a side when his husband looked at him in such a way that would make his heart melt while on the other hand, his daughter's stare was making him unusually nervous.

"I think that… that is such a great idea, Daiki. I am worried about Isuke's safety as well." Eisuke just went with what his heart was telling him.

While Isuke, for the first time in her life, cursed both of her parents.

"Good! It's settled then. I'm just waiting for that person to come here and talk with me." Daiki couldn't be happier by how all of this turned out.

This chapter's kinda short but the next one will definitely be longer.

Well, was Isuke Isuke-like enough?

So sorry if they're kind of OOC for you. Eisuke and Isuke mostly, I mean, since Isuke's papa wasn't really there in the anime.

Thank you for reading! :D
