Peko Pekoyama had only been living with Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu for about a month, finally away from the stressful situation they had been living in, though they still do live in the Kuzuryu Clan’s area and are very involved in their business. Peko is still serving Fuyuhiko as a bodyguard and hitman and barely leaves his side in public, however, there was a new danger for her.

Peko was no stranger to assassins constantly going after Fuyuhiko, but one known as Maki Harukawa always evaded no matter how much Peko chased her away and fought, which always left her very injured, one time even left her in a critical condition. Dealing with Maki is frustrating at best, but agonising at worst, which often left Peko very agitated at times due to the constant threat, something that was rare to see out of her calm and collected self.

Peko and Fuyuhiko were walking through a park at midnight to go to an important Kuzuryu Clan event when another encounter with Maki happened. However, once Maki was fended off, Peko ended up unsheathing her katana and began taking her anger out on a nearby tree, but when Fuyuhiko approached her, she turned around and slashed him.

“...” Peko was dead silent when the realisation of what happened dawned on her. She was staring and was noticeably hyperventilating, still holding the katana in a now loose grip. She couldn’t believe what she had just done.
