"No, I can't be seen in the school again after that last stunt, Sousuke!" Kaname yelled, a flush covering her face. "Everyone knows it was you that did it, and they think you did it to try to get to me!"
"That is inaccurate, ma'am!" Sousuke stood at attention as she paced in front of him in her apartment, fuming about the incident with the 'toxin' that had turned out to only dicintigrate polyester. Now she was a laughing stock.
"I don't care if it's inaccurate, it's what they think!" Kaname yelled, smaking him in the arm. "What am I supposed to do now? How am I supposed to stay protected when everyone is laughing at me, making me feel like a total pervert?"
Sousuke tried to hide his nervous expression, but couldn't help but let a bit slip. He had never seen Kaname this angry before. "I'm sorry ma'am, we'll just have to work through it!"
"No, we're not." She shouted, making him blink in shock and break attention for a moment.
"We're not?" He couldn't help the pain in his voice.
"I can't go back there, Sousuke." She sat on the bed, putting her head in her hands. "Even Kyoko is angry with you, and so with me because I'm so close to you."
Sousuke watched her for a moment, reaching a hand out to reassure her, but remembered his training and his place as her guardian, so brought his hand back to his side. He didn't really know what else to say at this point. There was nothing he could say to comfort her, and he knew she was right. He had messed up. He had blown his cover as a soldier.
"Sergeant Sagara, report to base immediately. Bring "Angel" with you." Melissa's stern voice came over his headset. Sagara almost swore to himself, remembering that Kurz and Melissa could hear everything they were both saying. The mission had been compromised. He had failed. He held a clenched fist at his side, gritting his teeth angrily.
"Permission to interrupt, Kaname." He snapped angrily. Kaname stopped her rant and looked at him in surprise, her eyes wide. She merely nodded, not expecting that reaction. "Mithril is recalling us back to base. We are to report at 2200 sharp for further details on reassignment."
"Reassignment?" Kaname said hesitantly. "You're getting reassigned.?"
"Affirmative. I am to bring you as well. Please pack a bag for long term travel." He held a finger up to his ear and nodded as he continued to listen. "Perhaps permanent."
"What?" Kaname gaped at him. "Permanent? I'm moving so suddenly?"
"Affirmative." Sousuke nodded. "I am to help you pack any essentials we may need for the journey, as well as anything you may need for a new apartment. We are being relocated to a new location with a larger school with far more security than our current district."
Kaname put her hands in her hair in panic, looking around the room at all her belongings. "There's so much to pack! I wish they could give a girl longer notice, what am I going to tell everyone?!" Kaname yelled as she dragged a suitcase out of the closet and started throwing her clothes in it. "What's the name of this place we're going to, anyway? How does it have more security than three elite squad members watching my back all the time?"
Sousuke put his hand back up to his earpiece again and nodded. "The school is called Ouran academy."
