Kaga wasn't stalking…
She definitely wasn't stalking. Kaga told herself as she peeked through the corner.
If you were to pass Kaga on that day, she would tell you to move along with your day and leave her be.
But who could be so interesting enough to be stalked by Kaga you ask? Most likely the others in the naval base would first think of Akagi. Kaga's fellow carrier. But that wasn't the current case whatsoever. Kaga peeked again, looking at her current target.
Kaga hid her head back, as her target turned to look if anyone was watching. She sighed in relief as she went on unnoticed. But once again the question remains. Who was Kaga stalking? And why was Kaga stalking them?
Let me tell you why. Kaga was stalking this person because she felt a strange connection to them. And who she was stalking? She didn't know. But she has every intent in finding out.
She followed him for the whole day as he toured out the naval base. She hid herself whenever he looked back. She peeked whenever he wasn't looking.
To any normal person, it would look as if Kaga was head over heels for this person. But how could that be? Kaga barely knew this person yet she couldn't keep herself away from him. Its like there's a certain attraction to him. He felt like a male Akagi to her. Maybe that's why she was following him around. Cause he had the same aura as Akagi surrounding him. But how could this male even compare to her lovely Akagi?
As Kaga's thoughts rambled on, she didn't notice that her said target was now in front of her with an amused look on his face as he saw her face flush.
"Why were you following me?"
"What do you mean?"
"You were following me since this morning."
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
They rambled on like this for a few minutes, as the man asked Kaga more questions, and Kaga doing her best to dodge them. They went on like this for a few minutes before both sides stops talking, basking them in an awkward silence. Kaga assessed the man in front of her. He had short brown hair, much like her's and he wore the standard male sailor uniform with a captain's hat on his head. By the looks of his face, Kaga guessed that he knew what she was doing.
"Like what you see?" He teased. Kaga shook her head.
"What's your name?" Kaga asked.
"Shouldn't one introduce theirselves first before asking for another person's name?"
Kaga silently glared at the man, who had a cheeky look on his face before she sighed.
"Im from the First Carrier Division… Kaga." Kaga introduced herself. "Now tell me your name." She demanded.
The man looked taken aback as she introduced herself. Yet his surprised face, slowly formed itself into a grin.
"Nameship of the Kii-Class Battlecruisers. Kii." He introduced himself.
"Eh?" Now it was Kaga's turn to be surprised.
He sighed. "Like I said. My name is Ki-" before he could finish he was interrupted by the carrier who suddenly latched herself onto his chest, holding him close.
"Kii…" She started to sniffle.
Kii chuckled nervously.
"C'mon Kaga… are you actually crying…?" He asked. Concern filling his voice.
"I've been through so much… Kii…" Kaga said between sobs.
Kii smiled softly as he rubbed her back in a supporting matter.
"Mhm. You did well Kaga… one of the most prestiged carriers in Japanese history… Tosa would be proud." He said reassuringly.
Kaga's sobs could be heard for a long time that day.
Now Kaga definitely wasn't stalking. She never stalked anyone that day nor she ever will.
But if she never followed this man around that day, she would've never met the ship that never saw the light of day.
She would've never seen the only one with the connection to who she was once before.
The Tosa-Class Battleship. Kaga.
