I am sergeant Sagara Sousuke of the Counter-Terrorist organization Mithril.
Seven months ago I came to Tokyo, Japan to protect a Whispered from the enemy forces.
My assingment was to sign up in a High School, stay close to the V.I.P and protect her from all harm, secretly. I think I have been exceedingly successful so far.
This was before I got a message from HQ that there might be someone after her again.
Today he might have showed up.
First day:
It was normal morning as I walked towards my school. Chidori was walking in front of me and talking with her friend Kyoko. Everything was perfectly normal except a guy I had not seen before was standing in front of the gates. He clearly wasn't from here, even though he wore our uniform.
"Sousuke? Are you listening?"
It was Chidori. I wonder what she had said.
"Yes. I agree."
"So you weren't. Are you okay?"
"No problem."
"Oh, fine then."
We headed to the line to bagcheck. No problem there either.
"Uhh Sagara. Just empty your bag to that trashpile. NOW!" Kagurazaka-sensei said.
I went to the pile and dug a hole where I could safely hide my bags content. Then I proceeded to fill the hole and lay some antipersonnel mines around it when I heard Chidori yell my name and hit me in my head with her bag. Why does she keep doing that?
When class started, our teacher introduced a new student to us.
"Everyone! This is John Yvonné. He transferred to our school and he is new here so please be extra nice to him." She announced.
"Does anyone want to ask some question from him?"
The noise reminded me of my first day here. Kyoko asked him where'd he came from
Apparently he has been around the globe.
His hobbies include parkour and snooker? Interesting.
Inaba is being herself again, guess she has already forgotten her yesterdays broken heart.
Sensei stopped all hassle.
"Open your books from page 46! Oh! Yvonné-kun. You can sit there, next to Sagara-kun"
He nodded to her and looked around the class room until he noticed me, there was a sudden cold feel in my spine when our eyes met. He walked towards me, his eyes locked at mine. I didn't like the way he smiled. Rest of the day went by without too much commotion. But when classes finished everyone rushed to the new guy. I stood back and observed.
He asked Inaba something, judging from her glancing at me, it was something about me.
They just kept talking, nothing too suspicious.
"Kana-chan! Come here! Yvonné-kun has a motorcycle!" Kyoko yelled out.
Chidori got there also, interested in this guys bike.
Inaba shrieked about something she wanted to see. And soon after all four of them stood up and began moving out.
"You too Sagara-kun! Come." Kyoko said.
They told me we're going to see new guys pet and then take him to city.
He lived near me and Chidori. When we got to his apartment and he opened the door, something attacked from inside. I took my trusted pistol and pointed it at the assailant.
"Critter! Relax!" he said to it
The dog barked happily and stood still... well stiller. I retracted and returned the gun to holster. New guy looked at me just then. Shit! Did he see my gun? Damn. That irritating smile again.
I noticed pair of military grade boots inside his apartment with bullet hole in the right one.
"Yvonné-san was it?"
"Call me John. Yvonné-san sound weird coming from you."
"Those boots there." I pointed inside his apartment. "Those are military boots, right?"
"Yes, my father was serving in the army of my former home."
His father was a soldier?
"He was killed while protecting our borders from the Soviet army 10 years ago."
"Hmm..."
Ten year ago? That's when soviets invaded that country what'sit'sname..."
"Why are you two so gloomy?" Chidori interrupted
"No reason" I said.
"Well anyway. I'm hungry, let's go somewhere and eat." She suggested.
"Okay!" the other girls joined
During our walk to a small family restaurant nearby, I noted that New guy had nearly straight line-of-vision to Chidori place from his I go and get more better look of his room? Yes, I must do it tonight.
The New guy was chatting with the girls looking very innocent, but something in him felt odd to me.
Nothing alarming happened during our stay and soon the girls were getting ready to leave. Kyoko said that she would go home now, so me and Chidori left too. Mizuki left behind with Yvonné and when I glanced behind they were walking together towards her home. Perfect, now I can break in his room.
"What do you think of him, Sousuke?"
"I think you should be careful around him. He might be an ene...*THWACK!*"
She hit me again.
"When are you going to learn!? He is not... Everyone is not enemy."
"But Chidori..."
"Even though he came from other country, like you. Doesn't mean he is just like you."
"Like me?"
"A Military freak! He doesn't carry excessive amounts of guns or explosives in his bag where-ever he goes, lie you."
"I don't carry explosive with me, it's dangerous."
"Eitherway, he's just a normal guy."
"Mmh. Like m.."
"NO!" Chidori interrupted me.
Maybe she was right. Maybe I'm overreacting. I propably should apologize him tomorrow.
Our ways separated when Chidori went in her building. I went to my house also.
I checked my e-mail; "Someone might be after Chidori Kaname again." said the newest mail that came last night.
I had to make sure after all. I took my climbing gear and my MP5 from closet and rushed out. Soon I was on his buildings roof and ready to descend in his balcony.
"Here we go." I muttered and hurled myself over the edge.
I landed on his balcony silently, even though I knew he was with Mizuki. Hmm there was laundry hanging here. Oddly it consisted of few pairs of bra and lace panties. So he lives with his sister, she could be an enemy as well.
Quietly I opened the door and sneaked in... Nothing too revealing yet, perhaps too feminine decoration that's all.
Closet, nothing here. Was Chidori right after all?. Damn.
Suddenly I heard a noice from the bathroom and immediatly sprinted out to the balcony and closed the door.
"Whew, too close." I sighed and proceeded to get down. that's when I saw movement on my buildings roof. Someone was there pouring something over something else that I could not see, then there was flash and some dim light. I rushed there but when I got up, there was no-one left. A splash of blood was on the door leading here. I looked down from the edge and saw someone running away. No use trying catch him anymore. Shit...
I must go and report this to TDD-1. I still wasn't too sure about Yvonné either...
