"I forget to do it." say Yukiko. Both of the girls leave Ryosuke. Chinen takes chance to get near him and says, "I will make Rin-chan as mine. No one can get her except me."
"You think you can get what you want?" ask Ryosuke.
"I'm not baka like you. I will use any possible way include dirty way to get her." say Chinen.
"You..." Ryosuke tries to control his anger as he knows everyone will be his side if he begins hit him.

After school, Chinen heads out from school and it seems a car already wait for him. The driver goes out and say, "Chinen-sama, you have to join us fot today's meeting. Oyabun ask me to get you."
"Why I have to join you guys?" ask Chinen.
"I don't know. I only know that Oedo have meeting with Mamoru tonight. It seem Mamoru want to say something to Oedo and it's not a good thing to hear." say the driver.
"Why you say like that?" ask Chinen.
"You will know it soon." say the driver.
Chinen change his uniform in the car and when arrive at a place, Chinen join others. The meeting at an old Japanese house and it seem someone already wait for them. They get into a room and Chinen can see a girl in his age sit near to Mamoru's leader.
"Why a girl at here?" ask Chinen.
"She is Mamoru's leader, Takashi's cousin. She can be recognize by her dragon's birth mark at her right shoulder. Make sure you becareful with her as she really fast to hit someone." say Minoru.
"I know what I should do." say Chinen. All of them take place and wait for anyone to begin speak at that place.
"I heard your people cause something at a hospital. From my information, one of your people put something in Hakushika Tomo's IV that cause his death." say Oyaji.
"Why you really concern about something like that?" ask Oedo's leader.
"We already agree not to involve anyone who not related with us. I don't want anyone to break the agreement no matter what's reason." say Oyaji.
"I really want to apologizes on behalf of my people. We will handle these things after this. I hope our relationship don't affect because of this stupid problem." say Oedo leader.
After that meeting, Oyaji treat them with dish and Chinen take chance to get closer with the girl. He asks, "Can I know you name?"
"Why you want to know my name?" ask that girl as she looks to other way.
"I just want to know more about you. I heard you really fast in fighting. By the way, I'm Chinen Yuri." say Chinen.
"I just can do that to win." say that girl.
"What can I call you?" ask Chinen as he still want to know her name.
"I will never tell you my name." say the girl. After the girl finish her meal, she quickly leave the place and get into the car. Chinen just can see it as he want to know about the mysterious girl.
***************************************
"Wah, that's close. He almost know who is me." say Karina after she get into car after the meeting.
"You know him?" ask Tezuka.
"He's one of my classmate but I don't really believe him." say Karina.
"Eh, you think he will never regconize you?" ask Tezuka.
"Don't worry. I only show this birthmark during with you guys and cover it with make-up during usual days." say Karina.
She takes out her phone and dial a number. She wait for several second before someone answer it, "Hello."
"Yo, it's me. It already been confirm that he has connection with Oedo, oyaji's ally. You have to become more careful after this." say Karina.
"Until when you want to hide from them? Are you running away?" ask Ryosuke.
"Baka, I just tell lies to you that I'm hiding but actually, I go to my another identity and do some work. I think maybe I will go back to school next week." say Karina.
"One more thing, that guy already said that he want to make Rin as his.” Say Ryosuke.
“That’s sound a bit fishy. It seems I need to go back school earlier from what I plan. We will talk about it when we meet at school.” Say Karina. She hung the call without wanting to hear response from Ryosuke.
***********************************
“Ohayou, Rin-chan.” Say Yukiko when see Rin in the class that morning.
“Ohayou, Yukiko-chan.” Say Rin.
“Why you look gloomy these past few days?” ask Yukiko.
“I worried about Karina-chan. It already 3 weeks she didn’t attend school. When I ask sensei, no one knows about it.” Say Rin.
“Maybe she still sad about her aniki’s death. Just give time to her.” Say Yukiko as she tries to make Rin less worry about their friend.
Ryosuke just get into class and go to his seat. He greets Rin like usual and Rin ask him, “Ne, Ryo-kun, you know where is Karina-chan? I can’t contact her.”
“I don’t know. She will never contact me.” Say Ryosuke.
Rin begin imagine bad things happen to Karina. Suddenly, they hear bang sound from back door and curious who do that. Rin see who do it and run to that person is before hug her as says, “Thank goodness you still safe.”
“Hey, I’m not sick. Why you say like that?” ask Karina as she giggles a bit.
“You haven’t come to school for 3 weeks and no news about you. I can’t contact you during that time.” Say Rin.
“Gomen. My phone missing and I buy new one.” Say Karina as she shows her new phone.
Not far from there, Chinen sees it and bit his lips. He says in his mind, “Why she appears at time like this? I thought she already don’t want to come to this school.”
Karina goes to her seat and when she realizes Chinen stares at her, she just smirks to him. She also gives look not-so-easy-dude to him before begin talk something to Ryosuke. Both of them talk in super low voice to avoid anyone eavesdrop their conversation. Rin get near to them and ask, “What are talking about?”
“Oh… we discuss when we will fight. I always want to fight him.” Say Karina.
“No, I will never let both of you fight.” Say Rin.
“See, I already say she will never allow us to fight.” Say Karina but it just lies to Rin.
Sensei gets into class and everyone go back to their seat. After school, they decide to go out and Karina drags Keito to tag them along. When they get near to front gate, Rin suddenly says, “You guys go first. I think I leave something under my table.”
“Okay.” Say Karina.
They watch Rin leaves them. Ryosuke want to say something but Karina says, “We will meet you guys at usual place.”
Ryosuke follow Rin from far and try to avoid Rin notice it. Rin get into class and takes something under her table. She says, “I almost forget about this. I can’t do my homework without this book.”
When she turns around, she notices someone also in the class. She asks, “What are you doing here?”
