"Hiro? Who's that?" He asks.

"You are Hiro.."

The guy then gazes at Rin.

As they looked at each other, another guy then suddenly appeared.

"Hahaha! What's this? A reconciliation of two friends?"

"You!?"

"That's right! It's me! Kioshi Ito, at your service... Just kidding!"

Kioshi laughed like an evil madman.

Rin gnashed, while the other guy kept his gazing look.

"You said you killed him..."

"I did? Oh well, I guess I did then. Hahaha!"

"So, deceiving has always been your hobby, huh?"

Kioshi shrugged.

"This guy is Hiro! What have you done to him??"

"Oh well... He is simply brainwashed by us. Isn't that obvious?"

"I could see that.."

Rin then raised her eyebrow and began summoning her bow.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you..." Kioshi smirked.

Before Rin even summons her bow, Hiro's gun was already pointed at her.

"I don't think you can even evade his gunshot. After all, he is our best sharpshooter.."

Hiro's eyes are straightly gazing at Rin, while pointing his gun at the same time.

Rin gulped and immediately stopped summoning her bow.

'There's no doubt.. I learned my skill in range from Hiro. He's basically my teacher...'

"What's really the assigned task on you? It seems that eliminating us isn't part of your plan." Rin asks.

Kioshi then smirked.

"Exactly! My work is to not kill you all, but rather make you all be part of us! You know we are lacking manpower.. You are decreasing our numbers!"

"What? We can never be part of you! Hell we'd rather die than to serve any of you!"

"Blah blah blah... I've heard those words a million times! In the end, look what happened. Hiro is the perfect example of it. Hahaha!"

Rin gnashed once more.

"So... Are you telling me that Eiji's best-friend is still alive?"

"Oh.. Oh yeah! You were there listening and watching at us from the corner. So you heard it all?"

"Answer me first.."

"Yes! That boy is the most precious of you all! He is gifted! Hahaha!"

"What do you mean?"

Kioshi then rolled his eyes down.

"Do I have to explain everything!? Hiro! Knock her already!"

'Hiro may be good in range, but how is he in melee?'

As Hiro slowly approach Rin, Rin smirked.

She then, grabbed Hiro's arm and kicked him to the ground.

Kioshi's eyes grew in shock.

Rin then summons her bow and pointed it at Kioshi.

"Woah! Calm down there girl. Don't you know that you are surrounded?"
