Okay so I just want to start of with a thank you to Ochibii-chan for your review. I do plan to write more so hopefully I can keep up the good work for all you readers out there. :3

Chapter Two: Questionable Circumstances


*Flashback*

"So what exactly do they want us to do?" I turn to look at my partner perched on the buildings edge.

His raven hair fluttering in the wind, azure eyes deep in thought.

"SABER?"

"Our orders are to go in and eradicate the lab inside that building over there." He points towards a corporate building a few kilometres north-east of our position.

"Is that it?" I ask. Bombing missions weren't generally given to Brigadiers.

He looks down at his PDA.

"That's what it says. Apparently they got their hands onto something they shouldn't have. The higher ups are in a fit because of it and want something done about it."

"So security's going to be tight?"

"So they say. Come on, we better get going." He says, quickly standing up.

I nod. "Right."

We leap across the city rooftops to our target, stopping just outside of it.

SABER points to the right.

"There should be a maintenance shaft entrance over there." He whispers.

I look around and spot it just as a patrol passes.

I smirk at SABER. "I guess we better be quick then huh?"

"Yeah, we'll wait until they pass again, and then move in. Don't touch them though, if they go missing people will start to get suspicious."

His PDA beeps and he quickly looks at the update.

"The lab is underground, so we need to go down several floors to reach it." He murmured.

We wait for the patrol to pass, and then quickly make our way over to the entrance, closing it on the way through.

Using our PDA's, we navigate our way to the lab.

"Hey, don't you find it strange that we've been sent on this mission? I whisper to SABER. "I mean, don't Spec Ops usually do this kind of stuff?"

"They do. But for some reason the higher ups have sent us instead. Maybe there's something here that Spec Ops can't handle. Security's probably too tight for them to get through." He suggests.

"But we haven't come across or seen anyone other than the patrol up top." I state, something wasn't right about this mission.

He shrugs. "That's true ARCADIA. But we don't have any reason to abort the mission. It's best if we just get in, set the charges and then get out."

I sigh at his response.

"I just have a really bad feeling about this."

After reaching the lab we quickly check for any personnel. Nothing, the whole floor was completely empty.

'Where the hell IS everyone?'

I look towards SABER's direction.

"I know what you're thinking ARCADIA." He says quietly.

I huff at him. "So where the hell is everyone? I thought this place was supposed to be crawling with security."

He sighs. "I don't..."

*CLANG!*

We spin around, facing the direction the noise.

"What the hell was that?" I say breathlessly, looking at the far end of the lab.

SABER walks forward and stops at a door.

"It seems to have come from Bio-Engineering."

I walk down and stand beside him. We both look down to see a locked control panel.

'I wonder what's in there.'

"I'll open it." I say. "Watch my back 'kay."

"Sure."

I take out my PDA and connect it with the control panel and start hacking. After getting around a few minutes the panel lights up green with a successful ding.

*Access granted. Welcome to Bio-Engineering.*

"Alright." I say, giving SABER a thumbs up. He smiles back at me.

We step into the room, searching for the source of the sound. The room is filled with odd and grotesque experiments, obviously the creations of twisted scientists.

'Not that we weren't experiments either.'

I hear SABER sigh.

"Come on, let's go there's nothing here." He says walking towards the door.

Suddenly I see something move behind him. It's big.

"Oh shit! SABER! BEHIND YOU!" I shout.

"Huh?"

RRRRAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!

*CRASH*

"SABER!"

*Flashback End*


Yuzuki POV

Violet eyes snap open, gazing at a blue sky. I stretch my arms out to rid myself of the stiffness in them. Reaching into my pocket I check the time, seeing that it's halfway through fifth period I start cursing to myself.

'Damn, I must've fallen asleep. Oh well, I never liked maths anyway and I think I'll live skipping English.'

Sitting on the concrete roof I enjoy the tranquil atmosphere, once again I start to nod off to sleep when...

*BANG!*

The door to the roof was violently kicked open, a grumbling red head stalks through and goes up to the fence.

"God damn it." He curses, punching the fence. Silently, I giggle at his actions.

'Someone's pissed. I think I'll have a little fun with him.'

"You know, punching a fence isn't going to solve anything." I say smugly.

Castiel quickly turns around to find me sitting above the door, a brief flash of surprise in his eyes, quickly disappearing soon after.

Lips set in a thin line. "How the hell did you get up here?" He growls. Clearly not happy to see me up here.

"I'm sorry, am I invading your territory? I'll leave if that's what you want."

I stand up to leave.

"You didn't answer my question."

'Persistent bastard.'

"I climbed the wall, does that answer your question?" I reply.

"I'm serious here. No one but me has the keys to the roof, so how the hell did you get up here?" He spat.

Giggling, I turn and face him.

"I'll leave that up to your imagination, I can't give away all my secrets now can I?"

He glares at me.

Frowning, I walk up to him, standing only inches apart.

"Apart from that." I began. "I personally don't see why I should have to explain myself to the likes of you."

Stepping back and turning on my heel, I leave him and walk down the stairs and out the building.

'Time to go home I think. I've had enough for one day.'


Castiel POV

Standing alone on the roof, I watch Yuzuki walk off down the stairs.

Sighing, I lean against the fence.

'Great work Castiel. Your plans of apologising just went out the window there.'

I sit down and begin to ponder on how she got up here.

'Climbed up the wall? Does she really take me for an idiot, it's not humanly possible to scale a five story building without any equipment. Unless she put it somewhere.'

Quickly standing up, I start searching for anything that could've been used for her to climb up. Although why anyone would climb a building is just stupid.

After a few minutes my search revealed nothing, no clues or anything.

'Well that was a waste of time. What made you think you'd find anything in the first place stupid?' I curse inwardly.

'But the door was locked and I'm the only one with the keys. On top of that there wasn't any indication that it had been broken into. Either she's really good a lock picking or she really did climb the wall.'

The thought starts spinning around in my head. Add the scar on her face and things start to get interesting.

A small smirk tugs at my lips.

'I think it might be a good idea to watch this new girl.'


Author Note:

Hopefully this chapter was interesting enough to read. :3

I decided to add a flash back so you could get a little bit of an insight to previous events before the story and add a little bit of suspense, so I hope you guys enjoyed that. I will add more flashbacks, where I'm not to sure just yet but I will add them. :)
