The "Height Wars"
By: samuraiduck27; Plot by: PsychoKitty13
A/N: (receives glares from HWGA readers) Don't hurt me! Not my fault- it's PK's! (points to PK) Attack her! It's her fault I'm not updating…
ANYwho- yeah, I'll get back to work on HWGA's next chapter later. I want this out instead… mwhaha.
DISCLAIMER: SD27 owns nothing familiar in this ficcie… except for her… but not PK. Thank Ra for small miracles.
NOTE: This is completely separate from the SD and PK (Prankster Duo) Trilogy. Just think as though HWGA and ASOUS never happened, if you're one of the people who've read them.
Chapter 1- Forming the "CIA"
The room was insanely dim; the only focus of light was centered on the middle of the long table in the center of the space. Each chair placed at the table was filled, and the person sitting at the head of the table, face surrounded in shadow just like the rest of the group, gave an unseen smirk as they noticed that everyone that they had summoned- and a more than likely unwilling participant- had arrived. All was going according to plan.
The figures in the chairs shifted uncomfortably, waiting for the tense silence to be broken.
"Gentlemen, and Ladies," the figure spoke, a light alto voice revealing that the host of the get-together was a young woman, "I thank you for coming. As you all kn- well, scratch that, you don't know yet, d'ya?- you've been summoned here to join the best of the best, the elite few I've chosen to help me head what I like to fondly title the "Chibi-sized Individuals Army", or the CIA for short."
A braided boy jumped up from his seat and gave the speaker an angry gesture, "WHO ARE YOU CALLIN' SO SMALL HE-"
"Shut up an' sit down, Ed!" the hostess roared, to which the boy obeyed with a small 'eep'.
"Hn. Isn't the 'CIA' title already claimed by some ningen government branch, Onna?" a ruby-eyed figure scoffed from his seat.
"I believe that would be the American government's name for their intelligence association." one of the only two other females in the room replied.
Their hostess nodded, "Exactly, Miss Hawkins. Most people- at least those who don't want to get their asses kicked or know that they can get away with it- know that the American CIA is not something t'be messing with. Therefore, as long as no one spills the beans, they won't mess with us as we share the same name… kinda. Anyways! Introductions!"
She picked up a file off of the table and opened it to the first page.
"Major Edward Elric of Amestris." she announced as a light clicked on over a seat that held a teenager with blond braided hair, amber eyes, wearing a red trench coat over simple black clothing.
"Also known as the Fullmetal Alchemist. Rather hot-headed and a victim of over usage of insults on his height. Specializes in alchemy- psh, no crap- and close contact psychical combat." she continued.
"Damn right." Ed muttered, smirking.
"Oi! Ed! Y'wanna be my second in command?" the girl asked, breaking the mood like a ton of bricks.
Ed nodded and the girl continued on with an exclamation of "Sugoi."
"Alrighty… next up is Hiei Jaganashi of the… Makai." -cue light beam falling on a figure dressed in all black, with gravity-defying black hair that had a white starburst, and ruby-red eyes that glared at everyone around him- "A master of the sword and the Jagan eye he's got implanted in his forehead. Half fire-demon and ice apparition, bad-tempered and has the unfortunately horrible fate of dealing with dimwits who call him "Shortie" on a daily basis. Usually underestimated because of his height."
A "hn.", characteristic of the demon, came from Hiei as the girl moved on to the next person to be introduced.
"Next up, we gots one Misao Makimachi; a full fledged kunoichi and leader of the Oniwabanshu."
Misao was a lively looking girl of about 16 years; she had long black hair pulled back into a super-long braid and vibrant blue eyes. She wore the traditional outfit befitting a kunoichi- a female ninja- and smiled warmly at everyone. Because of her stature and figure, most people took the teen for a twelve-year old.
"Yugi Motou, the proclaimed 'King of Games'-"
The girl was interrupted by a snort and muttering heard from across the table, quickly followed by the sound of someone getting kicked harshly underneath the table.
A low voice growled, "That hurt, Mokuba."
"Ahem! As I was saying…" the girl continued with a glare to that corner of the room, "the KOG and an excellent strategist. Ooh… you can be in charge of battle planning!"
The tri-colored, spiky-haired boy blinked and looked up at her with very confused violet eyes. "Battle planning?" he asked, "Who are we fighting against? I-"
He stopped as he noticed the girl was giving him a look that said "shut-up-please-and-let-me-finish".
"Mokuba Kaiba, who's often used as a bargaining chip by creeps wanting to get back at his older brother since he's just a kid and therefore is easy to manipulate and isn't a threat. Psh- fat load of crap right there… well, moving on, master of the "Puppy Dog Eyes" and a overall sneaky little guy."
Mokuba turned out to be a raven haired youth still in his preteens. Flashing grey-blue eyes peeked out from underneath his unruly, long mop of hair. A rather bored looking teenager with brown hair and in black clothes and a blue duster sat closely next to him, ice-blue eyes reflecting boredom and distrust of the others in the room.
The hostess blinked before introducing him as well.
"Umm… Seto Kaiba, older brother of Mokuba. What the heck are you doing here, anyways? Not that I don't mind of course…"
Mokuba frowned and was about to answer before his brother could screw things up with a Seto-ish response when he was cut off by the CEO himself.
"I'm not about to leave Mokuba in the care of a bunch of lunatics I don't know. How stupid do you think I am?" he scoffed, glaring at the girl.
She just shrugged and wrote something down on a piece of paper, "Okay- you're down for financial supporter and bodyguard for the junior members."
Seto raised an eyebrow and deepened his glare, "Excuse me- I'm what, now?"
"You heard me. Now- back to introductions."
"Who the hell do you think you are, talking to me like that?"
Mokuba sighed and pulled his brother's sleeve, "Seto… Seto, stop it. Be nice."
The teenage CEO sighed before acquiescing to his brother's request and mumbled some rather choice words underneath his breath as the introductions continued.
After the Kaiba Brothers, there was Rebecca Hawkins, evidently an acquaintance of both the Kaibas and Yugi; a red-headed, violet-eyed swordsman who was called Kenshin Himura- Misao gave a cry of "Hey, Himura!" when he was introduced; a talking infant who went by Koenma (Hiei wasn't too happy about seeing him), and a young kitsune child named Shippo finished off the group of individuals that had been summoned.
"I have a question, that I do," Kenshin stated once introductions had been completed, "I do believe everyone here has been formally introduced- but you however, haven't told us your name, that you did not."
The girl blinked before smacking her forehead and began to chant "baka, baka, baka…". The group collectively sweat dropped while wondering who the hell they were dealing with.
"I knew I forgot someone!" she muttered, sitting up in her chair so that for the first time all meeting her face was clearly visible in the light.
The 'mysterious hostess' turned out to be a girl of about 16 years, though she looked younger. She had blonde hair that reached her shoulders with two red streaks that framed her face. Grey eyes sparked with mischief and what could only be classified as a hint of insanity as her mouth curved up into a smirk that reflected that same look.
"I am the one that runs this whole thing; I invited you all here to head this whole little army of mine with me. So congrats, woohoo, and etc. The name's SD Zephyr, Ladies and Gents. Better get used to hearing it. 'Cause here, I'm practically God. Err… Godd-ess… wait… no, that's not right… "
A few members of the newly formed CIA shared uneasy looks. This was their leader?
Oh Ra… they're so doomed.
A/N: Ummmmm… review? And anyone harassing me about HWGA will get stabbed with a spoon- I AM WORKING ON IT! IT'LL BE OUT HOPEFULLY TONIGHT! If not, then tomorrow evening. Yay for the weekends.
Ja ne, minna-san.
