Hey everyone! I'm going to try my hand at a little action writing, don't know how this is going to turn out. Its going to take a few chaps to get the story rolling.
Shout out to Vividpixie! Starring Misaki and Usui as spies.
Chapter 1: Legendary
We, the daughters of Grace Marshall, swear to bring worldwide peace and justice.
We place our duty before ourselves and dedicate our entire lives to the International Affairs, just as our sisters before us did.
By our blood, tears and sweat, we protect the innocents of the world.
A mission that the male race failed, we will succeed or die trying.
To fight we stand
To surrender we fall...
History has been secretly altered by the world's most looked down upon people; women. Ever since the beginnings of civilization, they have been silenced and hidden away. They were denied education, denied rights and forced to submit to the will of a man.
Not every woman will submit to such a fate though. The most legendary woman that ever lived was Grace Marshall. During the American Revolution, she and a few other housewives banded together. The war was dragging on much too long and it was time to take matters into their own hands. They formed a secret society and began learning what had been denied of them for ages. They became educated, they became fit, they became spies...
After the American Revolution ended, Grace Marshall knew it was because of the women. America was now an independent country and they owed that to the female race. Of course no one would admit that. No woman received a pension or reward for her heroic deeds. History left no record of them.
Grace refused to let that happen. So many women lost their lives for their country and they will soon be forgotten as time goes on. She pooled in all her money and opened a small parlor school only open to young girls. From that point on, the era of female spies began.
Almost a century later, a giant school opened. Grace Marshall never lived to see her small dream grow into a worldwide renown academy but Grace Marshall's Academy for Prestigious Young Girls became the world's most elite boarding school recruiting girls from all over the world.
To the outside world, it is a school for the millionaires who can't put up with their daughters but the hundreds of girls attending were spies in training. From a young age they begin learning languages, combat, sciences, and the unknown history of their kind.
After graduation, the girls begin working in a program called the International Affairs. They was divided up into different parts of the world. Some go into Co Ops which are spies who go on missions while others choose to work in high tech labs.
Misaki sat on the shores of a beach. Summer was actually her least favorite time of the year. The academy let out and everyone went home...everyone except her. She stayed at the academy all year round because there was no where else for her to go. Her sister, Suzana, spent summers at a friend's house but Misaki chose to simply stay. It saved a lot of trouble. She sat on the warm sand and watched the waves lap the shore over and over. The pattern was strangely lulling.
Misaki's mom had been a famous spy known by all in the IA. Many year ago, Minako had been partnered up with Misaki's father, Sakuya, on a mission where they fell in love. Minako then asked to be discharged from the International Affairs. The IA was reluctant to let their star spy go but eventually agreed. Minako and Sakuya left the undercover world and got married. Following that, Misaki was born. A few years later while Minako was pregnant, Sakuya was called back to action for the FBI. A third world war was threatening to break out and the IA couldn't allow that. They called for reinforcements all over the world. Hundreds of retired spies went back into action. Minako should have returned too but she couldn't with Suzana in her.
A third world war was prevented but the cost was massive for the IA as well as other defense/ investigation programs. Sakuya never came home. He was deemed missing in action. The funeral didn't even have his body. Shortly after all this, Suzana was born and Minako became distant from even her children. As soon as Misaki was old enough, Minako sent her to Grace Marshall's and later Suzana joined her.
Misaki strolled along the beach with her flip flops in her hand. The sun was beating down by noon and Misaki eventually decided to return to the academy.
The campus was massive. It was bigger than any college campus. The main school itself was an old fashioned looking building built with gray stones and had metal wired gates. The door handles were made of shiny bass and cobblestone sidewalks were still found around campus. There were many open fields for physical activities and tiny groups of trees around the campus. The inside of the school wasn't old fashioned in the least though. It was as up to date as it could possibly be. Fast high tech computers and a security system were just the beginning. There were several gymnasiums on each of the seven floors. What rich academy wouldn't be complete without a dining hall, ballroom, small hospital, indoor pool, and science labs?
Misaki could still remember orientation like yesterday. She was going to be a senior this year and was closer than ever to going out into the real world. Now she was reflecting on all those years of schooling she had. The first day of orientation was unlike any other. All the girls were in the auditorium when all the doors automatically closed and locked. It was pitch dark until a spotlight was shone onto the stage. Headmistress Collins stood at the podium looking without a hair out of place.
A large screen had materialized on the stage as she promptly went through a slide show. The girls were revealed the secrets of the academy. They were now training to be spies and were never going to live a normal life now that they enrolled. Misaki remembered looking from one face to the other. The girls all took this realization differently. Some cried, some were excited, but Misaki was silent. She finally understood her family history. Her mom came from this place and now it was her turn...
Back in the present, Misaki came back into her dorm room. It was three girls a room. Misaki shared a room with her friends Sakura and Shizuko. Each girls got a bed and a wooden wardrobe. The white walls were covered in posters and drawings.
Misaki laid down on her bed. Her bed was done in sky blue, white and silver. Sakura had a purple themed bed while Shizuko loved green. But right now, their beds were empty and stripped to the mattress.
Misaki opened her wardrobe and scanned her belongings. Her normals clothes and uniform were all hung up neatly. The doors of the wardrobe had shelves that held her toiletries, jewelry box, few lip glosses, and other random things. The bottom was cluttered with shoes and her messenger bag. Misaki decided to spend the afternoon sorting her shoes. She lined her flips flops into a section, her boots, her sneakers, flats and her dressy shoes.
It was nearing evening and Misaki left campus again in search for dinner. During the summer Misaki decided to try every restaurant and diner the city had to offer. Today she decided on an old fashioned dinner. When Misaki walked in, she saw old fashioned booths with red and white everything.
"Hello, Welcome to Sandy's. Here is your menu!" a bubbly waitress said as she was seated. Misaki nodded and took the red and white (of course) menu from her. She scanned down the menu.
"Would you like a drink?" the waitress asked.
"Lemon and water, please" Misaki told her. The waitress gave a curt nod and walked off. Misaki's eyes drifted back to the menu. She wanted something interesting and ended up choosing something called; special steak. She then ordered sweet potato fries and an ice cream sundae.
Special steak was definitely special but not sure if it was good. The steak was good itself but a strange sauce was over it. Misaki used her fork to scrape the sauce off. She lazily picked at her meal and ended up eating the ice cream first (it would melt!) and then chewed on the steak and fries.
The bubbly waitress stopped over twice to refill her water then forgot about Misaki. Misaki lingered there until closing time. She paid for the meal and the waitress was rather surprised that she was still here.
"I hardly noticed you there quiet one!" she laughed.
Misaki simply politely nodded. Spies were suppose to easily blend in...hardly noticed by anyone. Misaki sighed as she found herself once again wandering the streets.
She couldn't wait until the school year started. Everything was going to change after this year. She was going to be graduating. Misaki knew where her future was headed. She was going to be going into Covert Operations and follow in her mother's footsteps.
