Yako Katsuragi looked up from her mathematics homework and balefully glared at the door. Certainly, she needn't expect anyone to come knocking, let alone with some sort of distraction when she desperately needed to pass this class, which meant finishing her homework in spite of herself, but Yako still found herself hoping.

Neuro, from where he sat, tinkering with something Yako didn't recognize, looked positively glowing. The entire time since Six had revealed himself had become a turmoil of extreme anger, and extreme bliss. Having just recently found a certain, immeasurable degree of pleasure in forcing Six's most loyal pawn to salivate over his shoes, Neuro was in extreme bliss. Yako was very reluctant to bring him out of it, which was for the better. She sighed, and turned back to her work. From Akane's corner, she could hear a soft, steady flow of typing.

All was relatively well with the world.

A/N: I do not own MTNN or any of its affiliated characters. I will not be repeating this every chapter, as this is "Fan Fiction" and not "Original Author Writing Stuff."

This story is placed after the Six/Sicks arc. Does that mean there might be some retconning? Well, certainly, but I'm waiting to see what happens during Six/Sicks to really effect anything that happens in this story. As a result, if you are not a reader of the manga, or if you are not current with the manga, I will let you know when you have something to worry about content-wise. If you've only seen the anime, the presentation of characters will be quite different. Please contact and advise me on IC/OOC lines based on the manga, and not the anime. Thank you!
