Short A.N., I proofread this and added a few thing into it for your reading pleasure, plus I needed to straighten a part out. So, all is well. Enjoy!

timeskipping to july 15th, 2014.
pulling a ciggarette out of the packet, lighting it up as soon as it reached her lips, sakaki looked over the decrepit tokyo ahead of her. buildings collapsed, roads cracked, items in piles. The only thing was that there were bodies everywhere. The girls all have joined together and are now on the way to destroying the insects.
"sakaki, we have word of another colony of bugs." yomi yelled to her. They occupied a small office in a building, making it their temporary base. The girls, yukari too, all declared themselves as a group of exterminators, per se. They all had a specific role.
First, sakaki was the leader. I have no idea why, but she just wanted to get rid of the creepy things. She stood at the same height as she was in high school, same black hair, same everything. Maya was also by her side, day and night.
Next, chiyo mihama, who was the main weapons expert. She knew a pistol from another, and even how to get the most use from them. Modifying them too, she quickly became a useful tool. Standing at 5' 4", her hair now touching her waist and no longer in pigtails. She quickly grew, making some jealous, others in awe. She even had to start using a bigger brassiere in a bigger size. mr. tadakichi was not by her side, but was fortunantly replaced with a female cat, ginger. The same colour as her name, she gave birth to iriomote cross kittens, maya helping on that note.
Now, osaka was a diamond in the rough, for sure. She was the best geographical mapper of the lot, plotting ways through memory and terrain by sattelite imagry still whizzing by in space. Now over her blank moments, she was even gaining more energy, although losing some of her osakan accent has occoured. She still stood the same, but with a more womanly figure, hips growing a tad out, alongside her bust size, her hair also the same, a kaorin cross sakaki cut, the same diagonal cut but with longer hair.
Tomo still wasnt the sharpest tack in the office, but was, by far, the best sniper of the lot. Her rifles were all the best, having had time invested into by chiyo. She can hit a bug between the eyes from 5kms away, the added power assisting greatly. She also stood the same as high school tomo, hair grown out as well. Signature hair still there, she also never left the 'japanese club'.
Yomi was still cleaning up the wildcat snipers messes in the group, but was was also the best gal for radio, being a technologically minded woman. Now, she was always the one responsible of relaying information everywhere, as well as keeping the CB radios all intact and working. Having a lot of experience in small electronics from a small age, and also knowledge, she was armed to the teeth in everything, and also helped chiyo and tomo develop a electrified bullet, a tazer attachment, and more. Still the same as high school, in everything, it was no surprise that she gave in on diets.
Kaorin was the mastermind of mechanics, her father and his weekend projects always helping her. Having a plethora of spare tools, parts, and vehicles, the small and mighty grease monkey had transport covered for their treks. Standing at roughly sakakis height, having identical dimentions in everything, no matter what it was you measured. Her hair was akin to osaka, but now darker like the mapper. She made a mobile command centre, a trailer for the equipment of the base they carried to everytime it moved, and a small tank for the next person.
Yukari never changed, but sharpened her driving skills considerably. Kaorin built her a tank for the ex teacher, who in turn used it to level the school she taught at. She still missed nyamo, and carries a picture of her and the fellow teacher in her tank. Still looking the same as back then, she now carries around a small bear, dirty and ripped, but a present from nyamo. A sign of their friendship.
There was also a few lives lost.
Kagura was attacked by an insect, back at the high school when yukari knocked it over.
Chihiro was with the group, but didnt get out from their last building, some time ago. Chiyo always rigs them up with explosives, as to get rid of traces of living there. Chihiro was the same as kaorin, striving to be a mechanic. Unfortunately, they thought she was killed by a bug, but she was trapped in the basement.
Now, back to the group...
sakaki walked over to the small desk, kaorin grabbing the smoke, and dragged some nicotine out of it. The only supply that never went down is cigarettes. The two went over, and chiyo came up, yukari as well. "they said there was a small group of survivors in need of help, near toudai. This might be genuine." the radiohead explained. The last one was all a hoax, aiming to get their gear. This time, tomo walked up and said something straight, and truthfully, naturally a better plan of action. "just leave them be! No one is out to help, and quite frankfully, the best plan of defence is offence, so tell them to go suck a dick!"
sakaki agreed, the rest as well. Agreeing that its time to get another base, as theirs was becoming a little lop sided, kaorin and yukari got in seperate cars, kaorin got into a little toyota yaris, yukari in a honda civic. Both setting out, yomi switched the radio over to both cars. "spanner, driver, hear me alright? Over." she relayed, her natural tongue coming back in cameo.
"spanner here, driver giving a thumbs up. Get osaka on, we need directions. Over." kaorin said back, yukari having her "Andrew W.K." playing loud. "i have to kill her radio. And soon."
for an hour, the osakan gave directions, like a human SatNav. Stopping occasionally, to check her notes, she said that they were in a stable area. Yukari did her 'thing', and drifted into a stop. Getting out of the reinforced tunacan, she drew her small but powerful pistol, loading a fresh magazine. Kaorin did the same, and they searched the buildings. Finding one labelled koshima pharmecuticals, they stepped in. no sooner than that, an insect charged at them. A one two reload from yukari, and more of a blast from kaorin and her shotgun, the females walked up the stairs, finding a dead body, torn to shreads by the enemy. "typical bullshit. Lets go kaori," yukari said, seeing that on a daily basis. They came upon a small office, seeing a fire escape for the whole building next to the door. A warehouse that was connected to the back looked ok, with plenty of shelter for the vehicles, space for working on them, and extra room as well for the weapons and other paraphernalia. Yukari was also happy, mainly because there was working internet! Now their dreams were answered, they took photos of the place, noting some needed items, the fire escape plan, and some items back.
"wow, what a place..." the spanner happy girl said, now kinda dreaming. Yukari yelled out "BUGS!", kaorin seeing that she wasnt lying. She got in, fired the little hatchback up, and was just about to leave, but yukari got in. "my car is dead, take me with you!" she half yelled, meaning it too. Sighing, she booted the accelerator, and made haste for the base, alerting the others of the arrival.
flying towards the base at an incredible speed, kaorin got on the in-car CB radio yomi built up for the cars, she alerted the others to get whatever weapons they can and get outside, "because the freaks are coming" in kaorins words, and they agreed.

now after the siege, kaorin and sakaki were talking about the past, and of high school.
"yeah, kimura was a creep. A really big one. He even made me class rep!" kaorin shocked sakaki, the revelation of the creepiest teacher ever being true. "how was yukari after I left the class?"
"still the same, as always. But one time, I got chalk to my head." she said to her friend. "looks like it brought me back to life though. Why were you weird to me in high school?"
kaorins heart raced, she was going to say it now. "i loved you, crush and all." she said, after gulping hard. Now fate was in sakaki's hands now...
the taller leader just stood up, pulling kaorin with her, putting her up against the wall. Kaorin thought that now sakaki was really pissed off, and would kill her. Actually, much the opposite.
Sakaki, however, leaned in, kissing kaorin full on the lips, eyes closed.
Kaorin was a mixture of feelings, happiness, sadness, even joy and depression, but there was one, and that was total love and admiration. and it was all for sakaki.
"does that answer your question?" sakaki said to the young adult in front of her, flustered like she was.
"yes. Totally..." she said back, being in a dreamlike state.

later that day, osaka was out in a new car, yukari already writing hers off. Kaorin was driving, and getting osaka to point the way. They were having fun, but came across a distress call, yomi hearing it too. They went there quickly, about 5 kms behind them. Getting to the place, a house that appeared to be attacked by bugs, they parked the car, osaka staying behind with her pistol. Kaorin walked to the house, shotgun at the ready. It was good for close quarters attacking with bugs. Walking in the door, she saw a male in the lounge room sitting down.
"hello kaori, did you get my distress call?" he said normally, no slackness in his jaw, and civilised. Kaorin was relieved. For ONCE she could talk to him without any pervertedness from him.
"we did, mister kimura. Is your wife here?" she said, the male teacher getting teary at the question. "she passed on, my daughter too. I was here when it happened, and it shocked me."
"oh. I-im sorry kimura, come with us. We have a base." she said, helping him up and out. Seeing an assault rifle close to kimura, she asked him if it was his. "yes, but im out of ammo. You can have it if you want." he replied, kaorin getting it. "well, he came with his own gun!" the girl thought, not wanting to sacrifice any guns to him. There was plenty of ammo at the base for them, and it would be handy to have another percentage of firepower to back her up. Getting outside, they saw osaka still in the car checking her maps and laptop for where they are. Their location for whoever is out there and the base are always logged, so if they got off track, she knew where to start looking. Walking to the car, the mechanic and past-pervert got in, kaorin ketting the engine run for a few minutes.
"umm...kimura is coming with us." the mechanic said to the mapper.
"ok, well we should get back anyway, its looking like lunch is soon." the map happy gal said cheerfully, a permanantly plastered open grin on her face.
Kaorin slotted the automatic in drive, and took off, leaving for the base.

as I said, there were a few little bits I had to fix up. It will take awhile to update, busy and all, so just bear with me here.
