Well, people of the media was spreading news that the Quixotic Predators appear in different forms for different people. Of course, both of the Quixotic Predators deemed it as nonsense and thought that they were just rumours. But turns out, it was actually true?
It was not long that they realised the situation they are in. They also realised that there are not one, but two of them. They quickly step back and assume battle positions. Seems like a terrible battle is going to take place. Remember that, these two are crazy powerful creatures which can kill people so fast that their body can't even react to it and they die without dropping a single drop of blood.
Which of the Quixotic killers will last? Both of them have different reasons for killing, different perspectives and different personalities, yet they are assumed under the same name of 'Quixotic Predators". Its like they are fighting for their throne. The one who is deemed worthy shall bear its title. Truly scary stuffs.
Its the middle of the night, a cool breeze was blowing. They take a step back again before charging at each other at full strength. But... something feels wrong.
They didn't hit each other. Well, that might be a partially wrong thing to say, because it's not like they didn't hit each other, rather because they couldn't hit each other. Thats because they have no bloodlust for the other. Their dark side isn't coming out. Hiroshi was shocked at himself too. Maybe, just maybe, he actually likes this girl?
Nope. Not at all. Its not possible at all.
Well, he soon realises why his bloodlust isn't coming out. Hiroshi doesn't kill just anyone, he actually only kills lovebirds that act all lovey-dovey when they are alone. He intended to kill Yuki because he thought she was like that. But when he realised that she also kills lovers and is actually not like that, his bloodlust was completely gone. Thus, he was unable to kill her.
What about Yuki then? Why was she unable to kill Hiroshi? Well, similar to Hiroshi, she didn't kill just anyone. She has her own problems and her own reasons for killing too...
"Huh? It didn't ring.", said Yuki.
"What do you mean?"
"Don't you feel it too? The "rinnnggg" sound that echoes in the brain before you are trying to kill another person? Or is it just me?"
"Well. Umm, maybe."
Even though Yuki is a killer. She is a cutesy too. Unusually, Hiroshi found her "rinnnggg" sound to be cute. He is a guy after all.
Now, what shall they do? They can't kill each other. Seeing it as useless, they dropped their weapons on mutual consent. Hiroshi, being smart, decided to come to an agreement.
"Hey you. Let's make a mutual agreement."
"What do you mean?", Yuki still doesn't fully trust Hiroshi. Her thoughts are Hiroshi might be trying to abuse her with that agreement. Well, nothing can be done here. She was abused in the past, thats why...
"We have the same line of work. Well, work doesn't fit well here. Anyway, I want you to keep shut about my identity and you do your work without interfering with me. In return I will also keep shut about your identity and mind my own business and won't interfere with your work. What do you think?"
"Let me think about it."

There is no signs of abusing in his agreement, Yuki thought. Hiroshi sits down and patiently waited for her answers. While she was thinking about it. There were no signs of malice from him, nor there were any ill intentions from his agreement.
In the meantime, Hiroshi decided to pick up his weapon and start sharpening it. At first, Yuki went on guard mode. Seeing this, Hiroshi said,
"Don't worry about this. I am not gonna kill you. I've not stooped so low to kill someone off guard."
Huh? Thats ironic coming from a guy who kills people behind their back.
After some time, Yuki decided her answer. She agreed to the agreement. To which, Hiroshi stood up and went for a handshake. Seeing his intention, Yuki also stood up and went for the handshake. But when they shook hands, Hiroshi looked her in the eyes with the most evil look and said,
"If you betray me, I will kill you."
Yuki was surprised. That person didn't have a single ounce of malice when he was coming for the handshake. But now, he seems to be burning with malice. What actually is he? How dark is his past? Yuki went on guard mode again, preparing to fight. But then, Hiroshi pointed that he is unarmed and his knife was actually behind him.
"I told you. I won't kill you."
Yuki is still on guard mode. To reassure her, Hiroshi said,
"And also. If I happen to betray you, feel free to kill me. I won't resist. I might be a killer, but I'm not a liar."
Yuki is still on guard mode. A tsundere? It's actually terrifying how quickly she can change her personality.
After that, they decided to go their own way and head home. It was sure surprising for both of them that there was actually two "Quixotic Predators". Currently, they both now hold that title because of the agreement. Rather than fighting to their deaths, they ended it peacefully. Rather than only one being the sole ruler, one became the king, the other became the queen.
Hiroshi goes back to his home. But then, he realised... He hasn't asked about their relationship yet. I mean, he is not in love or anything. But he is sure to be interrogated by his friends tomorrow when he comes to school. If that happens, what should he do? Should he say that they broke up? Or should he say nothing about it? He is confused. But he is more tired than confused. Rather than thinking about it, he left it for tomorrow and slept like a log. It was pretty tiring. It was too much information for him to analyse in a day.
The next day, Hiroshi went to school. After a lot of thinking, he decided that the would say that the date didn't go well and they decided that they weren't a good match for each other. Well, even though he thought of it, it didn't actually go as planned.
As he was walking, Yuki came from behind him and grabbed his arm like a lover. He was surprised. Being flustered he said,
"What are you doing here?".
"This is just an act", she whispered.
"Are you planning to hold onto me like this for the whole time?"
"Yep. Thats the plan."
"Won't you have to go to school?"
"Well, Yes. My school is in the same direction. So we can do it for a little longer."
Didn't I tell you about her personality changing talent? Well, now she is acting like a yandere. I think it works to her favour though. That's because she can hunt down any and every prey she ever lays eyes on. Like you need different coloured camouflage to hunt in different environment, she needs different personalities to hunt different people.
Well, they are going to school, so many students saw them together. Hiroshi was embarrassed at himself. His friends saw him too. They decided to patiently wait and went on ahead to prepare an interrogation chamber especially for him. Hiroshi is in for a tough ride today.
Well, after some time, she decided to let go of Hiroshi in front of his school and went to her own school. She studies in a remote area. So no students of her school could see him. Although she didn't notice, but she made life harder for Hiroshi today. Seems like not only the boys, but also the whole class wanted to know about it.
Like I said, Yuki and Hiroshi both were good looking. They are like the perfect match. Some girls were grinning because now, Hiroshi was taken. I am sure it is good that Hiroshi is taken. Because, if any of them were to confess to Hiroshi, they would've become dead meat.
Suddenly, Hiroshi became the popular kid. He doesn't have any feelings for Yuki though, even though she was pretty. He was planning to murder her, what do you think? Is he such a softie that he would fall for someone who he was planning to kill? Nope. Not at all.
Maybe Yuki has feelings for Hiroshi, right? Too bad. That girl doesn't have a split personality, she has an arsenal of personalities. Her fake personality seems so real that even if she actually fell for Hiroshi, you couldn't actually tell if she is faking it or not. But I am sure she isn't in love with him. I mean, she is a killer too. Can she even fall in love? Does she even have feelings?
