CHAPTER 2- RATS & EXPLOSIVES

''Hey, I have a problem.''

A symphony was being conducted by the sound of empty shells falling on the ground. Shizuru Fujino looked curiously to her close friend's eyes.

''Ara, can't it wait after we take down the 40 angry man firing at us?''

She ducked down to change her fifth magazine in her Famas, a French-made automatic bullpup-style automatic rifle.

''Okay Shiz. I'm only telling this to you and I don't want to hear anything from Sunshine later on.''

She could see the seriousness in her friend's face, which usually meant a ridicule topic involving interactions below the torso in human anatomy.

''Oh dear Lord.'' she fired another round, crimson orbs detecting every movable object, and bringing down every target without a miss. There were just too many of them, that was their problem.

''Last night I didn't have orgasm. I mean, I always have my orgasms Shiz! I tried taking Viagra. Popped one, popped two. I've been eating them like Skittles.'' grayish eyes locked on crimson in anticipation.

If their current geographical position had been anywhere else beside the current, Shizuru Fujino would take her sweet time to tease her close friend.

''It's my sincere hope that you are aware of the fact that your chromosomes lack a certain Y. You're a woman Anh, consequently Viagra works on men.''

The duo turned back to take down another 4 men, Anh Lu smirked when all of them were clean head shots.

''Well is there a pill for us?''

''I do not presume so, no.''

''Well what the fuck are those scientists working on then..! If I'm not gonna be able to have my daily relaxation then do not expect me to clean up this messy world from all the trash.''

''Ara, I'll make sure to take the topic up to them. Now do you have a plan B?''

Shizuru was getting bored of their current mission. It felt as if they were in the practice range of the Academy but the amount of targets didn't seem to lessen. They were growing in population even faster than the March Hares and it annoyed Shizuru Fujino to her core. She preferred missions with more complexity, less like a war scene from Saving Private Ryan. She mentally congratulated herself for choosing ''The Intimates'' as her major in the Academy. Only a few more of these missions for the sake of newcomers and then the real fun was going to begin.

''I just want the fun in my playtime back... And tell me again Shiz, why do we have these two scared shitless rookies with us again?''

''Because we're role models Anh.''

''Did we pick them? I don't believe I've noticed them ever before. It is understandable though since they lack major on the looks department. But if we did, I think all this missions are creating an adverse effect on my brain.'' Gorgeous slim body shifted to catch a quick glimpse of the rookies, trying their best stand their position but poorly doing so.

''They were assigned. We weren't given a say. Though the blond is not that bad I guess. She did took down 8.''

The brunette copied her friend and pitied the two rookies. It was somewhat a though mission, for a rookie at least...

''Please Shizuru. When I took you on your first mission you were like the fucking Grim Reaper. And you were and still is the best piece of ass this Academy has seen close tie to me and Sunshine.

''Ara, thank you... Now, I think I'm getting bored. Shall we end this nonsense once and for all? We have to attend tonight's welcoming ceremony as well and I'd rather be in a presentable shape and at least have time to take a shower.''

The woman took her time to analyze her hair condition. All the explosions and what nots created a stress on the honey colored brows as her hair meant the worlds to her.

''Indeed. All right, you two rookies start shooting at somebody! Shoot! Shoot!''

Four woman raised up with the command and poured hell over their targets. One by one men started to fell on the ground like flies.

''Ara, I'm out.'' Porcelain hands re-checked the black assault vest.

''I got two rounds left Lieutenant!'' a small looking girl shouted back.

''Well, that just means you haven't been shooting! What the hell do you think this is? Funfair?!'' grayish eyes pierced into the ordinary brown as the owner shivered in fear.

''I'm out too Lieutenant!'' the second rookie, also nicked by one Shizuru Fujino as the blond replied back with excitement in her voice.

''Ara, and that just means you've been aiming for that flock of birds. All these guns in here, and none of us got any bullets?'' The crimson orbs looked around finally settling on her friend.

''I got one, in my hip!'' came the joyful reply.

''Ara.. you're hit! Are you fine?'' Things were not going according to the plan. This was bad.

''I just got the wind knocked out of me. I'm inhumanly fine... Or all those Viagra do serve a purpose in female body, one that was never tested for.'' The combination of the childish look and the devilish grin resulted in an escape of an enchanting laugh from the honey haired woman. She really did love her friend. Very much so.

''I believe it is time to relay on more unconventional plans Anh, seeing this will take more time than I intend to give. You two, cover for Lieutenant!'' she commanded facing the rookies who complied the order in mere seconds. Porcelain fingers reached for the assault vest once again, only this time skipping the empty pouches and reaching for the big candy.

''Hello beautifuls. I believe it is time for the fat lady to stop singing.'' and with that Anh watched her best friend jump over holding two explosives on each hand and making a run towards the enemy line. The rest was a view two rookies never forget for the rest of their short lives.


''Do you hear that ringing in your ears? That 'eeeeeeeeee'? That's the sound of your ear cells dying, like their swan song. Once it's gone you'll never hear that frequency again. Enjoy it while it lasts. Or on second thought I don't think I'll let you enjoy it much for long.''

Anh Lu aimed for between the brows, in a millisecond there stood a clean hole sprouting red fluid.

''Was that plan B?'' she turned back to her honey haired friend.

''Ara it was plan C of course!'' a childish grin showed itself.

''That was reckless, that was stupid, and that was dangerous Shizuru. I'm telling mommy...'' mischievous glint locked on the crimson.

''You wouldn't dare!'' widened orbs wished for the lustrous cobalt blue eyes to be bluffing.

''Watch me. By the way, you blond, did they give the rally coordinates yet?''

''Hai Lieutenant! We are supposed to go down there.'' and a finger pointed down on the ground. Both Shizuru and Anh looked at the direction quizzically. Down there could only mean... the sewers?

''Ara...'' a displeasure appeared on the calm face.

''No way in hell. Tell them we have a style and image to protect.'' Anh shrugged. It was out of the question.

''Umm... These were the orders Lieutenant and we lost contact when the explosions went off...'' the said blond dropped her head to their destination apologetically.

''I guess you'll have to take a shower twice Shizuru.'' and nudged her friend as she walked past.

''It seems to be. But remind me to bring this certain moment in this weeks conference.''

''Will surely do so. Pack up rookies we're going for a party with rats and other diseases.''

''Anh, you know all those stuff that we flushed down the toilet? Well its back, and it's pissed off.''

Anh gave a small laugh. She didn't care really. As long as she was in the company of her two best friend she would gladly go down to hell and bring Hades down on his knees for a mission. Her eyes drifted to the figure walking in front of her. She remembered her first encounter with Shizuru, well everyone else on the universe who met Shizuru Fujino remembered as well, if they were left to live to reminisce that is, but for Anh Lu it was a particular memory she would forever hold on to; it was love at first sight. The innocent looking newcomer had proved everyone wrong in mere days with her accomplishments and that was exactly why the duo let Shizuru in, to form the legendary Trio. Even though the girl was one year younger than them, the cool figure of the Kyoto born had stepped on to the Academy grounds knowing she already owned the place. Shizuru reminded her of those exotic deadly flowers, which ate flies for the breakfast. All pretty from afar and deadly when walked into her range. Anh was a player, or slut to be honest since she didn't give a damn for the labels. Yet for the second time in her life- first being Alyssa Searrs, whom she had not formed a sexual relationship merely because their tastes in women was similar, making them rivals rather than lovers- Anh Lu just wanted the simple pleasure of having a certain person in 'her life' rather than her 'bed.' That is not to say she didn't try... She tried countless times when Shizuru was just a first year but to no avail, until she learned the news that her best friend Alyssa had beat her to it. Or as the following days showed, it was more like Shizuru had beat them both. Shizuru's and Alyssa's relationship never took off from the point of occasional intercourses yet the trio never felt awkward and soon they merely became 'just friends' never breaking the code of conduct ever again. And now On their third year of friendship which would equal a thirty year one in an ordinary normal human life scale, the infamous Trio ruled the ALE to their heart's content, so much that Anh Lu dreaded the end of this year.

''Oh bloody hell. These are not normal rats Shizuru I tell you.''

''I believe they are a special breed called-''

''Big motherfuckers? Look over there! There is a papa rat humping the shit out of this mama rat. No, he's straight pile driving her!'' her fingers excitedly pointed over to the humping figures.

''Now that information could have been left out for further mental remembrance Anh.'' Shizuru shrugged.

''But they fuck just like us!'' And man was that incredible or what.

Soon the moonlight shone upon the four figures that arrived on their rally point where a vehicle and two woman stood, one of the figures clearly fidgeting.

''Ah civilization once again.'' the honey haired women let out a sigh as she dreamed of the hot shower waiting for her.

''Tonight was an unnecessary pain in the ass. Or hip to be exact.''

They started walking towards the monstrous vehicle as the only sound after two hour of bullet cases was the far away melody of the sirens.

''I believe it will get much better later on when you personally welcome all the newcomers.''

Shizuru nudged her friend playfully when she was sure the rookies were nowhere in sight, knowing very well how the welcoming procedure went for her best friend.

''Amen to that!'' Cobalt blue eyes shined with greater glimmer effect. Now all she had to do was stop by Youko, get the annoying bullet out, and her hip hopefully wouldn't affect her performance tonight. Man, did she need to bed a fresh tonight... All was good. Another mission had passed by and the presence of her best friend didn't just made it bearable but something she could never get enough of. Maybe Alyssa and Shizuru would work together with her after Academy. Now talk about Charlie's angels... Although since Anh counted herself as the Charlie himself, she wasn't sure about the third angel. She decided to give extra attention to tonight's welcoming party, there had to be an angel wandering off somewhere right? She was brought back from her Angel world when she heard her Captain's annoyed voice.

''I can't believe you guys. Do you get up in the morning, call each other up - "Good morning, Anh." "Good morning, Shizuru." "How are you doing?" "Ai'ight." "So, how are we going to fuck up the captain's life today?" "Gee, I don't know, I don't know... Ooh, look! How about 22 cars and a boat, totalled? How did hell you sink a boat?''

There stands no single soul that takes pleasure in the company of a whining woman. But both Shizuru and Anh had deep respect for their Captain as to give out an apologetic smile in sync.

''Ara, to be honest captain the boat was just in the way and we had no time to go around it.''

''Get your asses on the vehicle! You look an' smell like shit. We got a ceremony to run tonight!''

''Hai hai!'' Both girls grinned as they jumped into the vehicle.

The night was far from coming to an end...
