Mosaic City, located along China's coast, is quite large city sometimes called the Crossroads Between Nations due to its diverse population. While it was once a large tourist spot, the city was placed under a blockade as the military appeared claiming there was a radiation leak. The true hazard, however, is much more sinister.

With the high pay that arose from cold-blooded murder of what basically amounted to criminals, Sakuya was able to afford a reasonable place out here in the residential district. Of course, she also had a proper den back in the Shadowlands, but that was for... special instances. Hopefully it would be put to use later. She was on her way out of the apartment for some exercise at the time, but she would soon realize she spotted a woman, while definitely a little shorter than her, definitely seemed physically older. Long, beautiful orange-red hair. A graceful step. Quite a stunning sight! Wow, was this Sakuya's lucky day. Stepped out of the building and immediately she saw someone worth getting to know.
Unfortunately, she was already a ways away, she seemed to be busy for something. But that would not deter Sakuya. She began to tail the woman slowly, her steps barely making any noise. She licked her dry lips, the weather was unusual today. A little uncomfortable. But again, that wouldn't stop Sakuya. She had a GIRL to get to know!

Maria was a little tired today. She shouldn't have tested that new game for her father. It was a little addictive and She ended up playing about an hour and thirty minutes later then she usually went to sleep. This had as a result that she wasn't that well slept as usual. Nothing really bad, it wouldn't affect an average day. She just had some coffee in the hopes of getting more energy. She rubbed her eyes and went down the building, as today would be totally like any other. The elevator was busy at the moment, so she decided to take the stairs. It was a few floors down but it was a good exercise.
Maria had to walk more then a few blocks walking to the Kindergarten as it was in an entire different district so she leaved good on time. When she was outside she saw the same as always. Almost always the same people, cars at about the same place. Now and then something or someone that wasn't there usually. It wasn't raining. The sun was shining over the top of the buildings but the sunshine couldn't reach the ground yet. Some she felt strange, but it was probably just her imagination. So she just walked towards the Kindergarten she was working at.

Nice weather, Sakuya thought. Well, it was quite bright, and so it was very easy for Sakuya to discern where her particular target for the morning was. As she continued to follow the redhead, she realized she was finding her way towards a kindergarten. Looks like the target this time was a teacher? Soon, she hastened her own pace to try and catch up to the teacher, even though the distance was quite far. If the teacher had felt something strange earlier, she'd definitely feel it...
Right now.
Sakuya soon walked at the same pace as the teacher. "Goooood morning, Miss! Nice weather we're having today, huh?"

Maria quite couldn't really tell what this thing was what she was feeling. It was strange, she never felt it before. It was like she was being followed? She wasn't sure as she couldn't really know. Why would anyone follow her? Did they found out her secret? That she was a shadow slaying persona user? Well she basically only attacked shadows because they attacked her first. If they wouldn't be aggressive she would most likely leave them alone. But why was this feeling there. Suddenly she heard a voice behind her. greeting her a goodmorning. What was this? someone selling some silly stuff again? That happened every now and then. The girl that greeted Maria walked beside her and adjusted her pace. Then she started to talk about the weather. So she wasn't about to sell anything? What could she want then? hmm... just asking could be rude. "Yes, it's seems to become a really nice day, isn't it?" Maria told the young girl. It couldn't hurt to just talk to her. "A walk in the morning before going to work is really nice, especially on a day like this" She told the girl that was walking aside her.

Sakuya smiled as the redhead responded pleasantly, and not grumpily. After all, it was rather early in the morning, and she was probably going somewhere. Indeed, she mentioned on top of it being a nice day, that a 'walk in the morning before going to work was really nice.' Well, Sakuya certainly couldn't argue with that logic. Hopefully she didn't seem too random. First impressions last the longest. Or so they say, and so they believe. Heh. 'Really nice.' Sakuya knew who looked really nice, anyway. "Work, huh... You must be busy, hmm~? Hopefully there will be a time when can chat for a bit longer, then, you know~? I saw you from afar, and... Well, I couldn't help myself, I had to get to know you, ma'am." Sakuya fidgeted and feigned innocence in front of someone who looked several years her senior. Actually, in total years, Sakuya was older.
"I apologize if you may have felt odd or felt like you were being followed. That was probably me being a little rascal." Sakuya giggled, trying to do her best cutesy impression. Hopefully, she didn't fail it big time.

Maria was kinda busy at the moment. After work she didn't had to do a lot though. Children at that age didn't make any homework so she didn't need to correct that. The young girl seemed to want more time to talk to Maria. Well Maria had nothing to do after her job and it this girl seemed honest and polite. She also looked quite nice. But, Maria was just to shy to ask so much about a total stranger. "Do you still go to school?" Maria asked. "Anyway, I don't have very much time to sidetrack right now, but after my work about halfway the afternoon I am totally free." She told the girl. It was the best offer she could give at the moment. They almost at the Kindergarten so Maria soon would have to say goodbye, but she really would want to meet later, maybe even today.

Oh, the woman asked if Sakuya still went to school. Well the answer would be 'no, I don't go to school now, instead I kill criminals undetected in cold blood.' Obviously, that was not, in fact, what Sakuya said out loud. "No, dear, I do not attend schooling as of the present," Sakuya said, sighing wistfully. "I'm sorry to be of such a distraction. If you would be so kind as to grace me with your presence sometime after your work shift... ...Please let me know. Here's my number." The young girl procured a piece of crumpled paper with her cellphone number written in elegant script on it, giving it to the kindergarten teacher. Yep, if she was going there to work, she was probably a teacher for kids. Well, kids were okay. She guessed.
"Please, have a wonderful day~" Sakuya nodded off as she realized the woman was probably close to where she needed to be, and she didn't have much time to get distracted!

Maria said goodbye to the girl. "oh, thank you. A good day to you too" Maria answered the girl. Then she forgot that they both forgot to introduce each other. Well, they could do that later. Maria had her phone number. She seemed like a nice girl and so much more polite then most youth's were these days. She looked at the clock she just passed and saw she was almost to late. Maria rushed to the kindergarten only to arrive only at the bell sign.
-Several hours later-
Maria hadn't much to do after the children went home or stayed at the childcare for after school. It wasn't her business anymore. She left the Kindergarten and took her GSM and pushed in the number of the girl she received this morning. She send a message. 'I will be waiting were we left this morning. Is that alright for you?' It read. Maria pressed as she arrived at the place.

Sakuya had bid the woman a goodbye for the meanwhile, hoping to see her again later. As she saw her rush off to the kindergarten before she was late, Sakuya had retreated to run her errands which mostly consisted of grocery shopping, checking out the girls at the grocery, and glaring at guys who tried to get in her way.
Later that day...
Sakuya had received a message on her phone. Smiling excitedly, she saw that the number was one she didn't recognize, but the message that was written could have only come from one person - that woman from this morning. 'I will be waiting where we left this morning. Is that alright for you?' it said. Sakuya grinned and immediately replied with an eager "Yes!" before making her way to the precise place where she parted with the woman this morning.
"Good afternoon, madam! I believe we have not been properly acquainted with one another," Sakuya grinned. "I'm Sakuya Kyoudou. What might your name be, miss~?"

Maria heard her phone signaling her that she got a message. The number was unknown but it was most likely the girl from this morning. She smiled a little and patiently waited for her to arrive. With all this shadow business going on it would be nice to forget the shadows for a day. She wondered what to girl wanted to do but she already had her ideas. Maybe shopping or going to eat somewhere. That would be nice.
It didn't took long before she heard a voice speaking behind her. The girl of this morning started right of the bat to introduce herself as Sakuya Kyoudou. "Nice to meet you Sakuya, my name is Maria Stark. So how was your day Sakuya?" Maria asked. Maria's day was great. The children weren't as wild as usual and she didn't had to shout a lot. Which means a lot, as they constantly forget things.

So her name was Maria Stark. Nice name. Maria was a nice name. Sakuya smiled and curtseyed as she held a bag of groceries in her hands. "Mmm... My day was fine, just took care of some groceries, busy with stuff, you know... Just life," Sakuya heaved. "But... more importantly, how was your day, Miss Stark? Would you like to chat over some coffee? Afternoon tea, perhaps?" Sakuya soon smiled again. She wanted to take Maria out for being nice, but mostly because she was starting to get a little tired of carrying these groceries around, the mall was quite a ways away and her hands were starting to get tired after several hours of lugging it around running her errands. Fortunately, none of those errands involved killing people. Hopefully, the kindergarten teacher would accept the invitation. If not, well, there were always other things to do.

Grocery's huh? Guess everyone had to go there once in a while. She told her that her day was fine and she did some stuff. Maria was slightly curious about it but didn't ask. If the girl wanted to tell her she would have done so just now. She asked how Maria's day was. "Well, the children were busy as usual. Luckily they behaved better today then most days." Which could really be bad sometimes. Sakuya also invited Maria for some coffee or thea. Well wasn't that nice. "Sure! Where did you had in mind? Maria asked the other girl. This girl really was polite. umm... Maria started to think were did they have good coffee or tea in this city. Maria liked almost equally so it didn't matter where they went.

Sakuya tilted her head. So, she was able to handle children fairly well. That was a decent skill to have. Sakuya would know all about how to handle children badly. One of those was pimping out your daughter to get easy bucks. Sakuya thought it was more productive to kill evil dudes for easy bucks. Anyway, sidetrack aside... Sakuya looked about the area before stroking her chin. "Hmm... There's a cafe I know that's not too far from here," Sakuya pointed towards the distance. "It's somewhere over there. I'll take you there and maybe we can hang out there, Miss Stark." The young girl nodded and bowed.

Maria saw Sakuya thinking before pointing to a certain place a little further. She asked Maria out there. That was nice but first there was one other thing she would ask. "Sure, but o please don't call me miss Stark, calling me Maria is fine. you don't have to be that formal around me." She told the younger girl. Maria didn't saw a reason for Sakuya to call her miss. Maria was only about a few years older. (or seemed that way, but Maria didn't knew that.) Hell, they could have been friends from school, if you looked at them. Maria moved her hand in the way Sakuya pointed. "Shall we get going then?" She told Sakuya, while starting to walk towards the place. She really was exited to go with Sakuya. She walked a little slower at first so that Sakuya could catch up, but speeding up afterwards.

"Very well, Maria," Sakuya said before realizing that Maria had already gone off, soon Sakuya had to hasten her pace to catch up, but soon they were at a brisk pace to match each other, and it was a rather uneventful walk. But soon, they had reached a quaint little cafe in the mall district. There were only a couple of patrons already inside, so there were many places to sit. Sakuya had the two of them sit at a table for three, but she placed her grocery bags on the empty chair. "Please, go ahead and order first, if you would like anything. I will hold the fort here," she said once they were situated. "Or would you like me to get you something instead, dear?"
