(Next post is my speech. But now for flashbacks!)
*Ace trains in his private room. He effortlessly completes some incredibly difficult training with his new equipment...*
-flashback-
*Kazu, the Kishi siblings, and Shiro are at Hotcakes, a few weeks after the Kishi dance ball*
Kazu: Everyone, I've got an announcement to make... I was accepted into Endymion as a rookie agent!
Kishi siblings: *silence*
Shiro: Awesome! Nice job, Kazu, congratulations!
Kazu: Thanks, Shiro-san! So, what do you siblings think? I can act as the Foxes' double agent and informant!
Haru: ...so that's where you were that night... we had a date to the ball together, didn't you remember? *feeling upset*
Kazu: ...I'm sorry, Haru... I didn't want to mess up the interview and my chances... I'll make it up to you, I promise.
Gen: I don't like this idea, Kazu. We all know how they recruit people and their methods and ideology. They're a dangerous group to be associated it. We're concerned for you.
Inashi: Dark magic is something you DO NOT mess with...
Kazu (Ace): *getting irritated* You guys don't get it. I'm doing this solely for the Foxes!
Shiro: Now I know I'm not part of either of your groups, but remember what I told you, Kazu. Don't let it change you. Remember who you are, what you stand for, and who your friends are.
Kazu: Yeah, I know, Shiro-san. *his cellphone bleeps* ...Oh, look at that. I've got to go. The leader is going to formally welcome me to the family. Don't worry, everyone *winking* I know where my loyalties lie...
*Kazu leaves Hotcakes*
Haru: Shiro-san, I'm worried. Please, as a neutral faction member, please watch over Kazu-kun. You have the best chances of not being detected by Endymion...
Shiro: ... that's what I was already thinking, Haru. Don't worry, I'm worried for him too. I'll report to you three periodically.
Gen: I just wish Sora and Tsuna were here, they would've convinced Kazu otherwise...
Inashi: Yeah, if they didn't beat him to death first... *the group chuckles*
*Shiro and the Kishi siblings finish up their food, with Kazu's chair empty....*
