I'm so sorry, guys. I had it all set up, but on Saturday and Sunday, I was preoccupied and forgot to actually post it.

anyway ...

Previously, Iku and Tezuka found some MBC agents harassing a library. There's also a media crew watching. Can Tezuka stop the MBC agents and leave a good impression to millions of viewers, or will they mess up and ruin all the chances the library has?

Tezuka Hikaru

I notice a cameraman and news reporter out of the corner of my eye. I ignore them. From the MBC Agent's stance and demeanor, he has yet to see it. "Yeah, right! We're here to collect those books. Besides, we're more than enough to take just two library agents!"

"Even if you must try to collect them, note the word 'try', it is unnecessary to harass the non-combatant staff." I'm acutely aware of Iku squinting at me. I glance at her but make no signals as to what I was doing. Iku's facial expressions were the opposite of subtle; the MBC agents would notice the camera too soon. "Molesting women is a new low, even for the MBC,"

There. That will paint a bad picture for the MBC, and shine a decent, 'upstanding citizen' light on me and Iku.

To my shock, the agent leans closer to the females. "Oh, so you've got a problem with us hurting your book trash? Maybe you're even dating this one. Bet you can't find anyone better, after all, library employees notoriously hate anyone who isn't in a book." He leans in closer to one of the girls, pulling her out from behind the desk. He squeezes her arm too tightly. "Is she the one you're so concerned about, hombre?"

"What I'm concerned about is what you guys do when you're let off your leash. I'm not dating anyone in this room," But I am in love with one, "This is my first time at this branch."

"The first ti-" He pauses, "What did you say your names were again?"

"I am Agent Hikaru Tezuka, and this is my partner, Agent Iku Kasahara. A pleasure to make your acquaintance," I fix a glare onto the MBC Agent, one of my scary ones. General Genka has been teaching me how. "Now leave the library before I force you to leave."

"I thought you said you weren't dating any of the book trash in here," The MBC Agent sneers.

"I'm not." I answer, "You were leaving?"

"Uh, no." The MBC Agent scowls. "You're going to have to make us!"
