Ba-bump

The sound of her heartbeat was the only sound in the quiet and dark Paris night. She swiftly moved down the street of darkness, not wanting to attract the attention of the Nazis. She ducked into a small alley, her wig flowing freely in wind. She tucked her right hand into her skirt pocket that her close friend had sewned on for her before they were forced apart. She will never forget that day, when her friend, a golden haired 15 years old girl, and she were forced to go their separate ways after their old apartment was searched, taken over, and trashed by the Nazis. Her hand grips harder on the pocket knife she stashed in her skirt pocket last minute. A shadow joined her in the small alley. She was ready to stick a knife in the stranger's stomach but she heard the stranger say in English.

"The ingredients for bread-making is ready." She couldn't stop herself from grinning.

"I shall try not to burn the bread, mademoiselle." She replied happily in English as well. The stranger grinned widely.

"I knew it was you, Haruka!" The stranger said to Haruka (she).

"Where have you been, my friend? I was worried sick..." Haruka replied in French.

"C'mon, you know I hate it when you speak French with me." The stranger whined, nevertheless, the stranger still had a big grin on her face.

"Oh, Koneko, how I've miss you over the past 6 months. We have to move before they find us." Haruka said. The little kitten nodded, her face suddenly solemn. You could barely tell that the kitten was grinning just seconds ago. The pair moved fast and ducked into another alley to aviod the Nazis before entering a shop that use to be a fashion store. Haruka stepped into a dressing room, pulling the other girl with her. She pulled on the hanger on the back of the door. Within seconds, the mirror split in half and showed a wooden box. She placed her hand in it, then the box retreated, revealing a hidden room inside the walls of that dressing room.

The kitten was amazed. She haven't seen any type of technology like that in her entire life. Haruka saw the look on her face and explained.

"The headquarter has very advanced technology to prevent someone from breaking in by force." Haruka answered and grabbed the kitten by the arms. Both girls squished into the tiny room. Haruka pushed in on a piece of concrete and the tiny room they were in soon expanded to a room with multiple doors, leading to who knows where.

The two girls soon reached their destination. They were greeted with a raven haired girl with violet eyes. The girl gave her a suspicious look for the stranger Haruka had dragged along with her. But Haruka waved her off, they exchanged the passwords and Haruka told her to pass the words to the other in the headquarter to meet up in the meeting room.

In less then 5 minutes, Haruka and the kitten was greeted by 8 people in the meeting room. Haruka took of her wig and disguise, revealing a sandy blonde girl with a white blouse and green long skirts. The kitten's eyes darted around nervously, she haven't made contact with anyone in the past month after she had an accident trying to rescue a kid from the Nazis' wrath. The old her had died that day, when she couldn't do anything but watch as the Nazis' took a 7 years old out of his house and into a truck along with some other kids, some even younger then him, going to war, to death.

The kitten took off the hood of her dirty, old, jacket, revealing her golden hair in two pigtails and buns. Her eyes were sky blue, her skin turned somewhat grey-ish due to the dust and dirt she had gotten on it during the day. She wore a simple sky blue dress with a white belt. She lost her heels somewhere in the city when she was running away from the direction she heard gun shots.

"This is Tsukino Usagi, one of my old colleague. Her code name will be Koneko, Little Kitten in English if you prefer that." Haruka said. Usagi stayed silent, not wanting to cause more distraction then needed.

"Hi, Usagi. I am Tomoe Hotaru. My code name is Firefly. I am one of the youngest agents here. We will need new names with to go along with our disguises, so try not to get used to one name." A young girl with raven hair explained. Usagi nodded.

"Kaioh Michiru, code name Ocean." Michiru said shortly.

"Meioh Setsuna, code name Time." A lady in her mid 20s said.

"Mizuno Ami, code name Water."

"Kino Makoto, code name Wood."

"Aino Minako, code name Love."

"Hino Rei, code name Fire." Everyone but a little pink haired girl traded their code names and real names. Usagi look at the pink haired girl with curiousity.

"ChibiUsa Serenity, code name Small Lady." the pink haired girl said. Usagi nodded and smiled softly. I hope her family is alright, she looks young, too young perhaps, to be involved with this whole ordeal. Usagi thought.

"Well, we all have up to 3 different disguises. Why don't you go to the wardrobe to get some proper clothing." Haruka said. Usagi nodded, after giving her the direction to the wardrobe, Haruka turns back to the group.

"What in the name of God were you thinking, Haruka? Who told you to bring a random girl from the street into our headquarter?" Rei yelled in French. Haruka glared at her.

"She understands German, French, English, and Japanese! She would be our translator in case General Chiba needs us back in England! Half of you don't understand or speak fluent English. Plus, she took self defense classes with me when we were 12, she can defend herself." Haruka replied.

"Haruka, that was five years ago, how do you know she still remembers it? Didn't you mention something about getting separated with a colleague in a mission about 6 months ago? How do you know she is still the person she was?" Michiru replied calmly. Haruka muttered a curse under her breath, a sign to show that Michiru has a point.

Recap,

Weapons : none yet

Injuries : none yet

Haruka brings a mysterious stranger home. Everyone is at least somewhat suspicious of her. Is she truly an alley? Or is she an enemy? Is she as innocent as she seems? Or is she someone who would kill dozens of people in a day just to survive?
