Basic summary: The guys have gone trough the things of the Ijin. Nancy got her memory back and they are all still working for the British Library. The exception that Nancy is always under surveillance as probation that's her punishment. And so let's move on...

Prologue:

Nancy sat with one leg perched up on the windowsill looking outwards outside and watching cars and people walking by.

Every once in a while she would hear Yomiko squealing of excitement from whatever she was reading. She glance around the room just by seeing all the books occupying the room she felt claustrophobic 'but better than being out there and having agents up your ass' she thought.

They always left her alone whenever she was with anyone else who was part of the British library.

Nancy sighed and looked down at the crumble paper in her hands. 'Damn' she though she loved origami but truly sucked at it.

Yomiko looked up from her book and saw Nancy trying to make an origami figure. Yomiko smile she looked down at her book she was barely halfway and decided to give it a break. She looked around she was amazed at how many books she had and more surprisingly they were in order in bookshelves.

Nancy, when she was starting to regain her memories, Yomiko had brought her to her apartment to have her escape the hospital for a bit and in the end. Ended up organizing all her books.

Soon after a few months Nancy soon became the old Nancy again being fun and flirtatious.

"Here let me try" Yomiko said taking the crumble paper from Nancy's hand, while so they touch lightly. Nancy felt a tingle as it happened.

Nancy looked amazed, at soon as the paper touched Yomiko it immediately folded into a crane.

"There" Yomiko smile and handed it to Nancy. Nancy took the crane and gave Yomiko a lopsided grin.

"Arigatou" murmured Nancy and then pinched Yomiko's cheek. "You haven't changed at all troughs all this time ne?" Nancy commented as she set the crane down and stood in front of Yomiko.

Yomiko blushed slightly and rubbed her cheek. "I don't understand what you mean Nancy?"

"Never mind...I better get going now." Nancy said as she stretched and started to walk towards the door.

Yomiko's smile immediately disappear as she followed she asked, "do you have to go."

Nancy looked at Yomiko and cupped her face, " Nancy" stutter Yomiko.

"No, No I don't have to" Nancy replied close to Yomiko's lips then she let go and stated to walk towards the window.

Yomiko just sighed, she had very strong feelings for Nancy, but she couldn't act on them one she was very clumsy and two well she remember why she stayed on that rocket she was in loved with Ikkiu (sp?).

Key word was 'was' but still Yomiko was too shy and a bit clueless when it came to real love. Sure she read about it but it was completely different from the real life one.

So she always acted clueless when Nancy flirted with her.

"Are they still out there?" Asked Yomiko sitting on he futon.

"Like usual waiting till I leave and they'll be at my heels again" replied Nancy.

"Wanna eat something?" Offered Yomiko.

"Sure...wait did you finish that book you were so giddish about?" Nancy asked. Yomiko didn't talk or look up until she usually finished a book that took about and hour and a half-top if it was around a 400 page book.

"No, I haven't but its good to stop stay in suspense then go on" Yomiko explained smiling brightly.

"I see," Nancy said cautiously as she sat down on the futon next to Yomiko, "can we order take out?" Asked Nancy.

"Sure" nodded Yomiko and called for Chinese take out.

Yomiko opened her eyes as she realized she fell asleep after eating her take out and finished reading her book. She looked around and was surprise to see Nancy asleep next to her. Yomiko glance at her clock '11:07' then at the window, the sun was long gone by now. She glanced at Nancy again; she looked so different than from the days of the Ijin she no longer wore provocative clothes unless it was her mission outfit. She had on now basic civilian clothes a black sweater and a pair of blue faded pants.

It was chilly and Yomiko got up and unbuttoned her shirt and took of her tie and changed her skirt and put on a pair of black sweats. She then brought out two blankets and covered Nancy then she laid down and went to sleep.

(Ring, ring)

Nancy groaned as she stir herself awake and the telephone ringing wasn't any help. Suddenly Yomiko shot out of bed and made a startle 'eep'

"Hello, this is Yomiko Readman" she answered.

Nancy rolled her eyes, 'that girl' she tough.

"Of course uh hu" Yomiko spoke, then she hung up and giggled and then fell backwards on the bed with a sigh.

"Who was that?" Asked Nancy as she looked down at Yomiko. She placed her right hand beside Yomiko's head and lowered herself till their faces were just inches apart.

Her hair fell around making a curtain and covering the outside.

Yomiko turned bright red; "I got a job being a sub for a week at a school about two miles from here" breathed out Yomiko, having said all that in one breath.

Nancy could feel Yomiko's breathing picked up. 'Why she so nervous' thought Nancy. She had always done things like this before her loss of memory. Lately Yomiko seemed to be getting more fuse up and shy.

Nancy sat up and got off the bed. "Man I better go home and change and get ready for my trip"

Yomiko just laid there still stunned they had been so close so very close she could feel her breathing and warmth.

"Well see ya Paper." Nancy bid farewell and left.

Yomiko finally let go of the breath she was holding unconsciously.

Nancy knocked on the red wooden door.

"Enter" came the British replied form inside.

Nancy stepped inside and walked up to Joker's desk.

"So, Ms. Mukahari lets review" Joker said as he pulled out a folder from his mess of papers lying about on his desk.

"Well it looks like you been spending a lot of time with Agent Paper, which is perfectly all right" Joker smirked.

Nancy avoided eye contact as much as possible.

"Still you have a few more months of being on probation and if a mission were to arise your participation will reduce some time." Joker said as he wrote something in Nancy's file.

"But I will advice that even after your probation is over you will still be working for the British Library so if I were you, no planning retirement just yet." Joker said as he put the folder away.

"I never tough of leaving just yet" answered Nancy.

"Very well then you're dismissed" Joker said waving her to go.

Nancy just turned and left.
