Time for chapter 4! Alphard challenges Natsume when she insults Canaan. Based on episode 11.

Natsume pointed her gun at Maria and Yunyun. She was about to say something, but Maria threw questions at her, almost as if not caring, or possibly not even noticing, how easily she could be shot,

"Oh my gosh! Who are you? What are you doing here? Why is Canaan stuck under this ice? And do you even really know how to use a gun, or is it just for show?"

"Umm, Maira..." Yunyun tapped the blonde lightly, whispering, "I don't think you should anger her too much." Maria looked at her friend,

"Anger her?" she repeated, "I don't see how I could be angering her. I'm just asking questions."

'...Why me?' Natsume thought before she spoke up again, "My name is Natsume Yuri. It's none of your business as to why I'm here. That's not really Canaan, genius. And YES, I know how to use a gun." Maria looked to the side, in thought, before looking back at the woman,

"...Are you su-"

"YES, I'M SURE!"

"Alright," they all heard a familiar voice, "as much as I'm enjoying this scene, I can't let it go so far, as for someone to get shot." Alphard stood up from a small distance away from them, "And I can't take the chance of letting a certain someone here be killed by someone other than me."

"Woah!" Maria exclaimed, as if amazed by the woman's appearance, before her voice dropped back into a simple questioning one, "How long have you been there?"

"Since I got here." Alphard replied simply. There was silence for a moment.

"...So you've been here for a while, huh?" the blonde figured it out. Instead of carrying on that matter, Alphard changed the subject,

"How about you two get out of here? Go be with Canaan. She'll die if you're not with her soon." her words turned into thoughts, 'I'll let you go for now, but mark my words...or thoughts...wait, would it be thoughts since I've never actually said them to her...? Whatever. Mark my words, bitch. I'll kill you.'

Maria and Yunyun left, leaving Natsume and Alphard alone.

"...So..." Alphard started, "...Why ARE you here?"

"Well," Natsume started, before the other woman interrupted her again,

"You just want the data I possess, don't you?"

"...And if I say yes?"

"Well..." Alphard rubbed the back of her head, "I wouldn't say no."

"...Really?" the woman with glasses couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Yeah. I mean, I'm honestly kind of done with this whole thing. It's not really catching Canaan's attention like I had hoped it would, so I'm moving on to a new plan."

"Ah, yes." the Japanese woman related, "Still trying to win her over, are you? Do what you want, but if that means you won't be keeping the data, I'll take it."

"Ha, yeah." After a slightly awkward silence, Alphard threw the object containing the data they spoke of, "Here you go." Natsume caught it, entering thoughts,

'I can't believe ANYONE would do anything this woman does, as some sick, twisted way of getting someone's attention.'

Without saying anything else, Alphard walked over to the girl in the ice.

"...You got what you wanted." she said, still looking beneathe the ice, "Now go, and don't touch this one." Natsume was silent, before murmuring to herself,

"Why? You want to be able to stare at her, since she looks so much like the girl you're obsessed with?"

"What was that?" the terrorist turned around.

"Nothing! I'll just be on my way." Natsume turned to leave. Alphard turned back around, facing the Borner who looked just like Canaan.

"And you don't have to tell me twice about not touching her." the Japanese woman referred back to the previous command, "I can't stand how much she looks like that hideous girl." She heard the sound of a gun being raised.

"You calling my girlfriend hideous, bitch?" Alphard's voice was dead serious. The now threatened woman just closed her eyes, and gave a simple explanation,

"No. How could I possibly call your girlfriend hideous, when you don't even have one?" They both stood still in the same postions.

"...Okay, bitch! You're really pushing on crossing the line!" the terrorsit yelled. Natsume smiled, and turned her head,

"She doesn't show you anything in the way of affection or love. How can you be so intrigued by her?" Alphard closed her eyes, and lowered her gun, a slight smile crossing her lips,

"Obviously, you don't seem to understand how Canaan's mind works." the other woman looked with interest. She had always wondered how the synesthete thought about things. And now someone who had known her for a decent amount of time was about to explain it to her.

"...Canaan's not annoyed by me at all..." the young terrorist stated, "...She's just shy about her feelings for me."

There was nothing but absolute silence.

"...That's how YOU think it works!" the Japanese woman yelled, visibly annoyed, "You know what? Nevermind! I'm just going to go now!" she turned again to leave.

"Wait!" Alphard stopped her, "Will we ever meet again after this?"

"...Perhaps, but why do you want to know?"

"So that, when we do, you'll see that you were wrong, and I was right, when Canaan's officially my girlfriend." After a moment of silence, Natusme softly laughed,

"Yes. I have a feeling we'll see each other again. Would you like to go on a picnic if we do?"

"Bitch, please." the terrorist replied, "You can go on your little pinic by yourself, along with all of the other singles, and Canaan and I will go on one together as a couple." The other woman started walking away,

"Good luck with that." Alphard glared at the back of the woman walking away, entering back into her thoughts again,

'Alright, Bitch #2...You're lucky I'm more focused on taking out Bitch #1(Maria) first. Otherwise, you'd be dead right now...'

They sure do have quite a few silences whenever Alphard's around XD *cough* Well, two more chapters after this? I may combine them into one, but it'll depend XD And I swear, what happened to all of my descriptive writing skills?D8 It seems all of my stories are mostly dialogue nowadays ._.
