There's some japanese words included (sorry) but most people know those few standard japanese words. If not, TOO BAD ^_^ J/K...

"This is main office of SOK, how can I help you?"

"Great weather...don't you think so to?" The deep male voice in the other end responded, laughing.

"Sir, what can I help you out with?" The office operater lady replied. He only chuckled, and the woman sighed deeply. Damn him...it was obviously her brother again, playing his usual jokes on her.

"It's really peaceful out here..." He took the mobile phone in the other hand, to brush away a lok of black hair from his forhead. "And such a white sky...you almost can't tell the difference between clouds and heaven..."

The woman was losing patience. Damn Jacob, he had done that two times this week now! Still...it didn't sound like him...but who else than her big brother could be so stupid? He had ALWAYS been bulling her, and when she managed to get a job, he thought it was funny to play these endless jokes on her.

"Ok now, mister, I'll have to ask you one-last-time: What is it that you wan't?!"

"Senpai Ninja, Aikawa Kenshin. I want to report back."

She smacked her forhead. Stupid! Of course, Kenshin, returning. She shifted in her chair, clearing her throat. It would be SO stupid to screw it up in front of her senpai, she would most likely lose her job, and even worse than that, her jobutaitoru as a true kunoichi. That would be shame, shame on her and her proud family name.

"Oh, I see...I'll put you through to kouchou, just hang in there a sec-"

"It...won't be nessecary." Damn, it's beginning to get freezing here, he thought. Thought the darkness attracted him, and it was much more appealing for him, he despised standing there for too long. Even a creature of the dark can miss the light... He drew his glock 18, carefully switching the safety off.

"...Excuse me? I don't think I..."

"...Understand?" He changed his voice, trying to sound gently. "Tell me, what is your name?"

She gaped. He was acually...interested in getting on a conversation with her? Talking with his mappai? Very unusual...well, she thought, smiling while neatly tucking her hair behind her ears. Talk won't harm anyone...

"Hitohana Aijou." She chirped, shining like the sun while saying her mother's maiden name, been giving to every female in her family by tradition.

"Ahh..." He put on his most charming facade, and knew, a naive and stupid woman like her easily would fall for it. No woman could stand flatter, especially not kunoichi'es. "How beautiful. I bet you are a very pretty young girl too..." He almost couldn't supress a slight chuckle, when hearing her giggle in the other end. This was really a piece of cake.

"Sir, are you hitting on me?"

"No!" He said. "How could you think that of your senpai? I never flirt with my mappai's."

She cleared her throat, again. Oh, she knew it. It was too good to be true anyway.

"Oh, I-I'm sorry then mister, I'll just...I-I just thought, that, you know w-when you..." Her voice was trembling, and she could feel her confusion form itself as small drops in her ruby red eyes.

"No. Take it easy Aijou. I was just kidding you! Did I make you sad?"

As fast as it had felt from her heart, the happiness shot through her entire body, and she could almost scream by pure joy.

"Well, I guess...a little." She sniffled.

"Don't worry 'bout that, I didn't mean to. Let's have dinner! I think that'll make you happy again."

This time, she didn't mind screaming, and the sound of surprise escaped her lips, wich made her recieve several killing looks from the other kunoichi operators. "R-really? WOW, I mean...great...I..." Get your tongue under control! A little voice commanded her, inside her head. "Sorry. I'd love to."

"Great! Listen, There many places to choose from in this town, but I want you to taste my famous dinner. So how about it?"

She shut her mouth, when she discovered it had been wide open for some now. "You mean, at YOUR place?" Phew! Senpai ninja's...they had allot of cash, so it propably weren't roasted chicken they were going to eat.

"Yes."

"Okay...wait a second, I'll write your adre-"

"NO!" He almost shouted. "Ehe, I mean, we don't want Kouchou to know about our...little secret? Do we?"

Aijou smiled. "No...but..."

Don't worry, I'll pick you up at the office. What time is it that you're free of work?"

"13.30 PM."

"Be at the main entrance at 13.45 PM. I'll pick you up then."

"How do I know if it's you? I mean, what car...?"

Kenshin smiled at her attempt of getting to know what type of car he was driving in, typically girls...

"Black chevrolet corvette. See you...Bishoujo."

She giggled, then let out a sigh.

"Bye bidanshi."

"David? Are you in here?" Using his real name propably wouldn't make him respond as well as if he had been using his codename, but in public he couldn't run that risk; they were more than wanted.

Otacon winced when he saw his friend, lie at his feet, a bottle of vodka in his hand. He wore a thick grey blanket, wrapped about him tightly. Otacon bow over him, and smelled the man's bad breath. Carefully, he poked Snake with a finger in his chest.

"Snake? Snake!" He whispered. "Wake up! You're lying in the middle of the street, everyone's looking at you!"

"H-huh?" Snake snored. Slowly, he opened up his eyes, staring into two opposite eyes, icey blue. Not like his, warm, but still piercing, emerald green.

"Not..now. I'm sleeping, can't you see?"

"Jesus, this is embarrasing!" Otacon's voice complained.

Cars whizzed past them, and several horns blared in their direction. Then, Otacon lost it. Literally. He raised his hand, and saw how Snake was taken aback by the slap.

"PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER! IT'S NOT SOMETHING I ASK FOR NOW, YOU HAVE TOO!!!"

"O-Otacon..." Snake stuttered, but now it was Otacon who was in control, the scientist, not the mercenary. Otacon backed off, sighing deeply. But okay then...he began to walk away, and just when he was about to turn around the corner, he turned around.

"If you want to live the rest of your life like that, I'm not gonna stand in your way then." He then tossed some keys in his direction, and Snake grabbed them. "For my apartment, if you should suddenly decide to pull yourself together...I'm not gonna help you any further."

"I..."

"Snake?"

Snake looked at him, preparing to be scolded again.

"Do you know, what color your stupidity and sins' got?

"What a question to ask!...No?"

Otacon pushed back his glasses, and closed his eyes.

"Perfect Blue."
