Glad you picked this story to read, I like it a lot! This is my first fic, unless you count the ones from sixth grade that I will never speak of again. This story has a little bit of everything, so enjoy!
"Since the class trip was ruined last time," Kaname announces at a class meeting, "we are planning an...interesting trip this quarter. And the thin is, the school was refunded most of the money from the last trip, so we don't have to pay!"
The class cheers and applauds, but Sousuke looks around, unsure of what's going on. After the class settles down, Kaname continues on.
"This meeting's going to be short, because everybody has the same assignments as last time. I'm not in the mood to recite the list, so I'll just put it on the table here. You can-"
She notices a single hand raised. It is none other than Sousuke. Kaname already looks annoyed, and he hasn't done anything for a while.
"What is it, Sousuke?" she moans.
"About our assignments," he starts, "Am I on garbage duty?"
"Yep," Kaname says, grinning a little, "Is that all?"
"Also, are you offering a refresher course on sorting garbage effectively?"
Kaname puts her hand on her head and sighs, "Sousuke..."
"Is that a no?" he asks innocently.
"Yes, it's a no," Kaname is starting to get really irritated, "You shouldn't need a class on how to sort trash, it's just common sense."
"But..."
That drops the hat. She storms to the back of the class, pressing her finger against Sousuke's forehead. He gets that 'uh-oh' look on his face.
"Look you melancholy military maniac," she's scolding him now! "Why don't you turn that thick head of yours off of 'Super Soldier Set on Shoot at Will' and switch it to 'Do Something Actually Useful For a Change'!"
Kaname's having a bad day. She goes on and on for a while, so...
Kaname and Sousuke head back to their apartments. As they part ways, Sousuke notices a suspicious truck outside Kaname's apartment building. Two men are unloading a large package from it. Sousuke hides his bag in some bushes and readies his gun.
He runs over and hides behind a parked car, watching the suspicious men. When they enter the building, Sousuke follows. The pair heads straight for the elevator, but there's a sign on it: "Out of Order."
"Damn," the first guy bites out, "looks like we're doing this the hard way..."
"What floor are we going to, anyway?" the other asks.
"Fourth."
That's Kaname's floor! Sousuke thinks. He follows them as they take the stairs, just out of view. On the fourth floor, they stop in front of Kaname's apartment.
"This is the one," one of the men says, putting down the package. He knocks on the door.
"I'll go get the truck ready," says the other as he leaves. A soon as he's out of sight...
BAM! BAM BAM!
That's when Kaname opens the door. The man falls unconscious, and falls onto Kaname, face first to her chest!
"What," Kaname's both angry and confused, "You...Wha- Um...Argh!"
She pushes him off, and his body falls limp to the floor. She notices the name tag on his shirt. "Watanabe..." She steps into the hall.
"Oh, good," Sousuke breathes a sigh of relief, "You're not hurt."
"Not hurt? Not hurt! Mr. Watanabe here is a delivery man! You know, some one who delivers packages? He's not some terrorist, and not out to get me, the world's not out to get me!"
Paranoid idiot, she says in her head.
Kaname hits Sousuke, and hits him hard. Then she storms back to her apartment, slamming the door. Instead of hearing it slam, they hear a feint grunt. She slammed the door on Mr. Watanabe!
"Oh, I'm so sorry!"
She takes him into her apartment with Sousuke's help.
A short while later, there is a knock at the door. Sousuke is quick to answer. It's the other guy from the truck.
"Do you know where Shintaro is?" he asks politely.
"Inside," Kaname says from behind Sousuke, "Why don't you come in?"
Inside...
"What!" This guy starts to freak, "What happened here! Who did this!"
"Sergeant Sombers here," Kaname says, pointing at Sousuke.
"What?" Sousuke defends himself, "You're the one who slammed the door on him."
"Urgh!" Kaname gets pissed once again, "You're the one that shot him!"
"Those were non-lethal rubber stun bullets. He only suffered a few bruises and a minor concussion. He'll be fine."
"Yes, and let's be thankful for that. But really Sousuke! I don't care if all you know is how to shoot a gun, just think before you shoot!"
"I guess we'll just leave you two to work this out," says one of the delivery men as the leave the apartment.
But that doesn't stop Kaname...
I don't like cliffhangers, so no chapter will have them! I want to know what you think, so replay! (shakes fist angrily) Replyyy...
