JackalGod: Second chapter enjoy

At the end of the day Chidori met Suzuhara at the lockers as had been planned. The only greeting he'd given was a curt nod before returning to the book he'd been reading, before following her out of the school with his bag over his shoulder. Chidori had several times attempted to strike up a conversation but was each time ignored and chose to talk to Kyoko as soon as they met up at the gate

"Hey Kaname, didn't you say Sousuke was coming to?" asked Kyoko looking around

"He said he'd meet us at the Ramen place." replied Chidori. Kyoko picked up on it immediately and leaned in close so Suzuhara couldn't hear her

"He's not getting more weapons is he?"

"Probably" said Chidori with a sigh.

They arrived at the Ramen place shortly after where Sousuke was waiting for them. He glared slightly at Suzuhara who didn't even acknowledge his existence before greeting Chidori. They ordered their food and waited for it to be ready. Suzuhara had put away his book and was gazing intently at Kyoko who was blushing

"So Mr. Suzuhara how come you've come to our school?"

"It was recommended to me." replied Suzuhara swiftly

"You know Mr. Suzuhara you should be a little nicer. I've done nothing mean to you yet you treat me as if I'm not worth your time." said Chidori her anger getting the better of you. Before Suzuhara could reply three boys walked over to their table

"I couldn't help overhearing your conversation." said one looking down Kyoko's top while speaking to Chidori "If these guys are bothering we'd be happy to show you a better time"

"But out boys." snapped Chidori

"Now that's not very nice." said one of the other boys stepping forward "We try to be nice and you go and say something like that. You know women are meant to be seen and not heard you know."

"What part of go away didn't you get?" spat Chidori, she could feel her anger rising and it would only be a short time before she lost it a hit someone.

"That does it bitch!" yelled the third boy grabbing Chidori roughly. Sousuke reacted in a second, rushed forward yanked the boy from Chidori and shoved his gun under the guys chin. It was only then did his gaze flicker sideways to see Suzuhara a mirror image of his stance, with an almost identical gun in his hand.

"Mr. Suzuhara!" cried Chidori eyeing the pair "What on earth!?" Suzuhara took a step back and pocketed his gun before turning to leave

"You seem to have things organised, I'll leave everything to you then Sergeant Sagara." with that he was out the door and away. The boy's who'd harassed them begged for forgivness before running out of the shop as if the hounds of hell were at their heels.

The next day at school Suzuhara was absent with a cold, at least that had been the excuse sent to the office. Sousuke was convinced that as he knew he'd been 'found out' he'd run away during the night and rendezvoused with his allies. Of course this theory had earned him a smack on the head from Chidori.

"Look just because he's got a gun doesn't mean that he's an enemy. He might be from your unit, sent as back up maybe?"

"No, I would have been informed." said Sagara "It would be necessary for me to know he was coming."

"Yes I suppose having you unknowing would be silly. But still that doesn't mean he's a bad person. I don't want you to hurt him unless he tries to hurt me. Understand?"

"Very well miss Chidori" said Sousuke finally giving up but privately promising himself that no matter what other weapons Suzuhara had he would not let him hurt Chidori or anyone else at the school.

Later that day after school had ended Sousuke was walking home thinking about Suzuhara. Who was he exactly, was he a terrorist or something else, was he just a war nut who carried a gun around. Was he a real danger or nothing to worry about.

"Either way, he shouldn't be a problem for me." said Sousuke confidently. No sooner were the words out of his mouth was he grabbed and forced to the ground. It took Sousuke a few seconds to realise he'd just been subdued so easily by someone who was currently sitting on his back and from the look of it was wearing a military uniform.

"Should pay attention to where you're going Sergeant Sagara." came a familiar voice from above him. Sousuke's eyes widened slightly and he attempted to throw his attacked off. He heard the familiar click of a gun being cocked and felt something press against the beck of his head. "Careful there. It'd be a shame to splatter your brains all over the pavement."

"What do you want Suzuhara!?" demanded Sousuke as he felt the boy above him relieve him of his gun

"Can I trust you not to run if I let you stand up? And believe me when I say I'm not above shooting someone in the back." Sousuke considered this for a moment before giving in. He'd play along for now then take advantage of the first opening. Sousuke pulled himself to his feet as soon as the weight on his back lifted. He faced Suzuhara and was suddenly speechless. He had been right Suzuhara had been wearing a military uniform, however was he was staring were the stripes on his shoulder that showed the boys rank.

"That's right Sagara." said Suzuhara with a grin "Allow me to introduce myself. Lieutenant Suzuhara, US Military. Though recently I've been assisting MITHRIL." Sousuke's brain a few seconds to process this bit of info. But as soon as he realised he was in the presence of someone who outranked him he stood attention

"Forgive me, Sir! I was unaware of the situation. I was not informed of your arrival..."

"Oh put a sock in it" snapped Suzuhara to stem the flow of mindless drivel Sousuke was currently saying. "You weren't told about me because none of the people in your unit knew I was coming. I've come here on my own accord. You see regardless of rank I've never had much attachment to rules. I do what I like and everyone who knows me knows it."

"Yes Sir." replied Sousuke in the brake. He was determined to make up for his earlier rudeness. Suzuhara was a Lieutenant, his superior, one word from him and Sousuke could be in a world of trouble.

"But that's beside the point. I decided to take a well-deserved vacation and I thought while I'm at it why not meet the girl that everyone's always talking about. Kaname Chidori."

"Feel free to get to know her Sir! She's a very nice girl." said Sousuke

"I intend to Sagara. I also intend to get to know you as well. You're a very interesting person on several levels."

"Thank you Sir." replied Sousuke not quite sure whether or not it was a complement.

"Of course needless to say you had better not tell anyone about this. If you do things could get complicated."

"Yes Sir I will be sure to tell no one." said Sousuke

"Good." said Suzuhara putting away his gun and throwing Sousuke his. "I'll see you at school tomorrow then." with that he walked past Sousuke and away.

"I think my life just got a whole lot more difficult."
