Chapter 4

I do not own Full Metal Panic


Several hours later, at 0600 hours

Tokyo even this early in the morning is always a flutter with activity, an unchanging fact as time moves on, people waking up to go to work, shops opening and tourists who refuse to let the good times end. All of these noises and distractions at this moment would be unable to wake to sleeping form of Kaname Chidori.

Still in her school clothes from the previous day, she slept peacefully on her bodyguard's shoulder, without a care in the world.

Sousuke Sagara, waking up from a long slumber, notices Kaname, and slowly moves out of bed, replacing his shoulder for a real pillow for Kaname to snuggle against.

"Alright, time to begin morning preperations."

Sousuke turns on the light in his living area, to find Kaname's bag, and pet hamster (now fully awake) rolling around aimlessly. He takes the ball containing the small mammal and puts it in his kitchen sink so it had nowhere dangerous to roll into. Seeing this, the young sergeant begins his daily morning workout routine.


(inside the dreams of Kaname Chidori)

There she was again. The same old dream as before, the school in a total uproar, her heart going a lightyear a minute, the world spinning, as her friends become subjected to the Full Monty Virus, there she sits naked as a jaybird behind the curtains of the bed in the nurse's station. The only thing in front of her is Sousuke.

"S-Sousuke, you still haven't said why I-I-I need to take off my clothes, I mean, I just don't think I'm ready."

Sousuke moves closer to the bed, only the thin sheeting protecting him from the view of Kaname's naked form.

"We don't even have any......protection."

She felt like her was about to explode, as Sousuke continued to stare intently into her eyes from the other side of the curtain.

"It's not a problem."

The curtain is flung open.

(end of dream)

THWACK

"OW!" Kaname finds herself on the floor, a large welt on her head from landing from the top of the bed. She is still only half awake in spite of this, vaguely recalling the dream, causing a deep blush to develop.

Figures the dream would end there........again. Usually its my alarm clock that ruins that moment.

She stands up slowly to take stock of herself. The first thing she notices unfortunately was the usual wetness that comes from that particular dream. Needless to say the blush on her face only deepened.

DAMMIT! JUST WHEN I DONT HAVE A CHANGE OF UNDERWEAR!! HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO EXPLAIN THIS AWAY!?

Underwear situation aside, the young high schooler's uniform was also in a state of disarray, all wrinkled from a long nights sleep. Then she noticed the bed.

"Sousuke? Where did that otaku run off to?" All this is muttered under her breath, as she teeters over to the living room in search of shower to keep her cool and bring her to a state of alertness. She found a lone towel for herself and continued on her way to the bathroom, not registering that Sousuke was nowehere to be seen in the living room either.

If that pervert tries to peek in on me he will pay. That damned military maniac!

Her thoughts ran short as she opened the door to the bathroom only to find Sousuke at the sink shaving, his body completely naked. Kaname admittedly stares on, while Sousuke looks bemused.

"Chidori? The bathroom is currently occupied, you might wish to leave."

Perhaps it was because she was still in a daze from just waking up, but this was one request she could not follow right away. Not before she got a good look. The scars and muscles from yesterday went unnoticed, as her eyes traveled southward.

Woah. Clearly the dreams never did him justice. Woah. Wait, why am I turning into the pervert here!?

What was once a healthy red of embarrasment blemishing Kaname's cheeks turned into a deep dark color filled with rage, as she took a swing at the ever clueless sergeant. Unaware that the swing caused her to slip she went plummeting to the ground, Sousuke following quickly behind her to cushion her head.

With his lap.

"Chidori? Chidori? Are you all right? Should I take you to a doctor, please respond!"

This is has got to be some weird dream right? Total deja vu, I remember something similar from that hospital visit. At least he cares. Wait, whats that feeling on the back of my neck?

She begins to wake up a little as she realizes Sousuke is still naked.

OH MY GOD!!!

"You-you-you........TOTAL PERVERT!!!"

To her credit she could not get the full power behind her uppercut from laying down, regardless, to Sousuke's credit, he only had a quarter of his head embedded in the ceiling.

"K-Kaname, good your ok."

"Just get out of the bathroom I need to shower now! God, show some decorum, there is a woman here you know."

"Yes that would be best."

Sousuke extricates himself from the ceiling, grabs his towel and razor, and heads out into the main area, while Kaname undresses. She looks down at her school clothes, and notices a change of clothes left by Sousuke, mainly a pair of weathered pants a size too large and a dark green t shirt.

I'm still going to have get a new pair of underwear after this.

She steps into the shower turning the water on to the highest heat possible.

God this sucks. Why the hell is this happening now? I am not ready for this at all. Shouldn't I be more angry with him? I mean he destroyed my home, thoroughly embarrased me, made my school life complicated, and my whole life has gone upside down. So why am I so........happy?


Sousuke meanwhile outside in the living room found another pair of clothes to put on, preparing for the day. He began by disassembling his P220 and cleaning each individual part meticulously.

The situation is dire right now, I am sure Kaname will not let any of the past two days slide, possibility of retribution by the enemy force, 100 percent. Possible countermeasures? Every time I have done things for Kaname I generally have it backfire. The necklace and earrings in particular were a traumatizing experience. Giving weaponry to her has proven to be a terrible idea. Perhaps protective gear would suffice. This is most troublesome.

As Sousuke began to reassemble the P220, Kaname walked out of the bathroom wearing the clothes Sousuke had left for her. Noticing this, Sagara audibly gulped.

Two things immediately jumped out at him. First, that the shirt and pants fit to her form a little better than he would have liked to admit. Second, that Kaname did not have a bra on. These two stipulations made the specialist sweat. The two just stood there looking at each other, both unmoving, both projecting less than savory images in their brain, both unsure of what to do next. The silence ended when Kaname's cellphone went off in her bag.

"I better get that." Kaname said sheepishly.

"Um yeah, you better. I'll just be finishing up here." Sousuke pointed nervously at the half assembled pistol.

Kaname moved over to grab her cellphone and saw the caller id for Kyouko. She sweatdropped as she answered the phone in what she hoped was her best cheery voice.

"Hey there Kyouko, what's up?"

"Kaname! Since it's Sunday I was wondering if you wanted to go the movies or shop or something. You could bring Sousuke along."

The wink wink nudge nudge was so obviously telegraphed that Kaname didn't even bother to take note of it. She looked nervously at her present state of affairs.

Yea like I'm going to go hang out wearing Sousuke's clothes, that would bring a whole new realm of awkwardness into my life. She'd probably think we......we......

Kaname began twiddling her thumbs as she stole glances at Sousuke, who had moved on to polishing his Winchester riot dagger.

"Um, no can do Kyouko I have other things to do today, errands and stuff."

"Is that so? Your not meeting Sousuke behind my back are you?" Kyouko said as slyly as humanly possible.

"Pfft please, like I'd do that. Hahahaha." She laughs maniacally while Sousuke looks on confused and at a loss.

"Look I'll see you next week Kyouko for all that stuff ok? I'll even pay for lunch."

"Hmm......ok. You better keep your word."

"I will I will don't worry." She hangs up the phone and sighs.

"Chidori. I suggest that we go and get you some new clothes, as you will be staying here for the duration of the repairs. I shall accompany you, and I have no problem buying as much as is needed."

Kaname stands there for a second thinking it over.

"Hmm, ok then why not. Let's head out now. No guns, no knives, no exception. Got it?"

"Understood." Sousuke tucked a line of piano wire in his pocket to be safe.

"Good, then let's go get some breakfast Sergeant." She holds open the door for Sousuke, which the two go through, the start of a long Sunday out.


Authors note:

Surprise surprise another chapter up in two days. This is to make up for a week of inactivity. Not much happened here, but that's kinda the point to set up the oh so evil things to come. Mwahahahaha.

Anywho, please send in reviews if you wish. Also, I am thinking of 2 stories I wanna do when this one is up and not sure which to concetrate on. One is a FMP/Black Lagoon crossover, the other is a FMP/Darker than Black. When you review also mention which one you'd rather see. When this story is done (it'll be a while) I'll tally em up and go from there.

I'll use the underlining for telephone calls and things of that nature for future reference.
