Your Pov

I came running in the room filled with people, the others were discussing plans while Tetsu handed out beverages. I sat down and apologized for being late.

No one noticed I was there so I was pretty left out in shame but Ash eventually told me that it was fine.

"The museum, huh?" Misono held his chin, "curious.."

"Yeah, heard stuff about seventy people injuried two days ago?" Mahiru asked which Misono shooked off.

"I have.. heard not about that. It's practically something related to the enemy. If it is, then I'm sure the enemy has some.. vehement purposes of why they commit an arson."

"Nu-uh, false alarm." I cutted in, scraping my finger across the dusty map. "The enemy has an objective. They're trying to find something valuable. Plus, judging by these purple flames, it should mean that it's.. y'know.. Aizen and Reo..?"

"Purple.. flames?" Misono frowned in confusion which made me curious. "What are you talking about?"

I lifted a brow but gained no answer or explanation.

"Y/N-san.. The photo only reveals natural flames. Not purple." Mahiru spoke up which made me into a shock. "Are you sure you haven't rested fluently?"

I gave him a glare and snapped. "Excuse me? Are you implying that I'm crazy?"

"I-It's not that! It's just.. uhh, Kuro.. You explain!"

Ash yawned lazily, "what a pain.. oh well, I'd do anything for Y/N." He turned to me, "what the housewife meant was that the hue of the fire is particularly yellow and orange, not anything similar to purple. Also, are you sure you didn't rest well, he said."

I glared daggers at Mahiru, "so are you saying that I'm not responsible enough?"

He laughed nervously. About to speak but Lilly unfortunately backed him up, "Y/N-san, there. There. Mahiru-kun is just worrying about you."

That made me calm down a bit. I sighed, "Sorry guys. That was too much, wasn't it?"

"Could be." Sakuya answered, who from the corner of the room, listening to his headphones and not paying attention to the plan discussion at all.

"Watanuki Sakuya. Would it be a pain if you listen to the plans?" Asked Keima, the mister.

He and the others were here as well.

"Nah. Just tell me what I'm goin' to do. I don't have to listen to everything you guys say."

Rose sighed in despair, "agreed."

She turned to us, "Eve of Sloth, Eve of Lust. We're splitting up, aren't we? Which group is Y/N and I'll be attending?"

Both Eves exchanged glances. "Uhm.." Shirota started. "That would be.."

Just a nick of time and I was with the Sloth pair, the Lust pair, us Demise pair and both Rose-chan's most counted associates: Arata and Lepido.

We were heading out to the museum. We'll be infiltrate the museum, act as night guards and head to the security room. Using the surveillance cameras, we might be able to spot if it really is the Hate pair's doing.

Half of us will act as night guards and spy on anyone whoever comes in. While the other half watches from the cameras.

Anyways, I've got more problems to handle. Ash wouldn't stop glaring at Arata. How can one man be such a nuisance to him?

Isn't Aizen there? As far as I've heard, he doesn't really hate Aizen that much. He hates Arata more.

Gah, there's no way I'm getting this!

I shrieked when an arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer to a body. Ash's, particularly.

I blink while I blush, "u-uhm, Ash? What are you doing?"

He didn't answer. Instead, he locked glares with Arata.

I'm assuming that Arata was confused of why he was angry at him so he glared back.

Shirota noticed, then heaved out a sigh, "C'mon. I'm totally tired of seeing this.. 'reign of anger' you two are putting up and nobody's asking so far, so I'll be the first."

"What's been happening to you two? Why are you.. fighting over Y/N like a bunch of ransack dogs?"

"Ransack?" Arata batted his eyes.

"Dogs? Tch! I hate dogs." Ash said, "They're a pain."

Of course they are. Only to you since you're a cat.

"Th-They're not fighting..!" I shooked my hands, "I'm obstinately in love with Ash! A-Arata is just guarding me.. f-for Rose's sake!"

"Hey, not everything about my subclasses is about me." Rose stated. "There's actually something else related to their pasts without me."

"So the Servamp of Sloth is jealous then?" Misono asked.

Lilly chuckled, "whenever there's love, there's always envy. Right?"

"True, it's the worst case from the sin of love." Lepido agreed but changed it gawkily, "actually, I'm mistaken, jealousy is the worst sin of love."

"So that means.. if there's love, there's jealousy?" Rose asked which made me curious.

Why would she be curious about it?

"Yup. Though there is love that doesn't involve envy, but I've never heard that from anyone. So.. it's fifty-fifty."

"I see.."

I nervously laughed when Ash started embracing me. "Ash.. can I talk to you.. alone?" He glanced down at me, then nodded.

The others' tracks stopped while the both of us made our way into an alley.

"You gotta stop this." I said.

He frowned, "stop what?"

"Stop being jealous. I told you  Arata doesn't like me or anything."

His face bummed out. He sighed, "I understand, then. Just don't leave me."

I chuckled by that, "why would I do that?"

Short chapter, very much a short chapter but I'm in a hurry so forgive me!
