Heyyaaaaaaa my dear readers! This oneshot is a request made by Ri-Ryn, Kazama and Osamu! Thanks so much for reviewing! If you haven't already, go check out Ri-Ryn's fics- they're awesome and about 10000 times better than anything I could ever hope to write.

EDIT:Ri-Ryn pointed out to me that Kazama was shorter than Osamu, which I completely forgot about. Just roll with it, 'kay? xD

"Hmm, against Yuiga, you can win seven times out of ten now. That's pretty good, considering the fact that you would win twice out of ten about a month ago." Izumi said.

"Does that mean I can learn the composite bullet now?" Osamu asked.

"Hmm. Not yet. Your way of attacking will work mainly against attackers who also use Kogetsu, likd Yuiga. A Scorpion user is usually faster and will dodge your bullets, which will put you at a disadvantage."

"Oh... so what do I do?"

"That's easy!" Izumi said brightly, "You've fought Kazama before, right?"

"Uh... yes," Osamu said, starting to suspect where this was going, "But-"

"Great!" Izumi said, cutting off his kouhai, "I'll go get him right now! You guys can fight in the virtual combat room. Show him how much you've improved, Mikumo."

Before Osamu could protest, his mentor had sped off in search of the A-Rank agent.

"Jin's kouhai. So you want to spar me?" the spiky haired teen asked.

"Uh, Izumi-senpai said that I needed the experience of fighting against a Scorpion user."

"Well, you guys go spar, there's something I need to do." Izumi said, waving. Once he was out of sight, he put his hands behind his head and whistled cheerfully.

"It's about time that someone gets them together," he said cheerfully, and walked off to relax and give the pair some time alone.

"Mikumo, bail out. Nine to ten, Kazama leads."

"…Ugh." Osamu groaned. "You seem impossible to beat, Kazama-san."

"Your moves are better, Mikumo. You may not be able to beat me, but if your team trains hard enough, you may have a slim chance of getting selected for the next away teams." Kazama acknowledged.

"Really? Thank you, Kazama-san!"

"Don't thank me. We still have one more round to fight," Kazama replied.

"Okay!" Osamu nodded, fresh determination flashing in his eyes. As they were transported to the virtual combat area, Kazama gave him one last tip.

"Remember, a Scorpion user will have the advantage of a shifting blade. Be on your guard."

That was how I lost the last three times... "Yes, sir!" Osamu replied.

As soon as they were transported to the combat area, Kazama leaped behind a cluster of buildings, out of Osamu's line of sight. As the B-Ranker hadn't seen where he went, Kazama had the advantage of surprise.

Or so he thought.

"Asteroid!"

"Tch!" Kazama leaped to the side, dodging the bullets. "Stealth on!"

Since they were fighting with a limited supply of Trion, Osamu knew that he wouldn't be able to fill the air with bullets. He heard a whistling noise behind me, and just barely managed to raise Raygust to block the first blow from Kazama. As the spiky-haired teen disappeared again, Osamu sent a hail of bullets hurtling towards the space where Kazama was.

"Too slow, Mikumo." Kazama chided, as he placed a fairly deep cut into his leg. "Remember, your opponents will not stand in the same place for you to hit." Another slash on his shield arm.

Osamu furrowed his brow, before summoning Viper and sending the bullets around him in circles, forcing Kazama to back away.

Interesting... Kazama thought, using Viper as a shield...

However, the bullets only circulated around the B-Ranker three times, before scattering in a bunch of random directions, one nearly hitting Osamu himself. As the B-Ranker leaped to avoid his own bullets, Kazama took advantage of his confusion and leaped in, slashing Osamu with Scorpion.

"Osamu, bail out. Kazama wins, ten to zero."

"Gah..." Osamu rubbed his head.

"That was better." Kazama said. Osamu shook his head.

"I still couldn't see which direction you were coming from."

"Usually, if someone uses Stealth, they'll circle around you and try to stab you in the back. One way to defend yourself from the attacker is to surround yourself with a shield, or Viper, as you had just done."

"Hmm... okay," Osamu said, storing this information away inside his head.

"That was ten rounds. Let's go find Izumi-san now."

As the two of them walked through the hall, Izumi observed them through the security cameras.

"Izumi-kun, is this really necessary?" Kunichika sighed.

"They have to get together! They'd be the perfect couple!"

"Or," Kunichika said, "The only reason Kazama agreed to fight him was simply do you a favor."

"WHAT? No! It's not my fault that Kazama's afraid to make a move!" Izumi defended.

"Izumi-kun, I agree they would be a perfect couple... but you should consider the fact that they don't have feelings for each other?"

"Ehhh? Are you insane?!"

"..."

Osamu was walking, deep in thought, his mind filled with fighting tactics, when he suddenly noticed that Kazama was gone.

"Kazama-san?" he asked, stopping and looking around. Suddenly, he heard the faintest sound of footsteps behind him, but when he spun around, nobody was there.

"Hello?" Osamu called out uncertainly. He was certain he saw a blur of someone, or something, and turned slowly. "Hello?" he repeated, only to yelp when he was pushed up against the wall.

"You still can't see where I'm coming from, even when we're not in our Trion bodies." Kazama stated, in a matter-of-fact way. Osamu's eyes widened, as the blur that he had previously seen materialized into Kazama.

"K-Kazama-san?" Osamu stammered, "Was that some sort of test-"

"You think too much," Kazama interrupted, "When someone tries too hard to read a situation, they miss the most obvious fact right in front of them."

Osamu paused for a second, before (finally) grasping a hold of the position they were in. Kazama had was pinning his wrists to the wall with both hands, and he was about half an inch from Osamu.

"K-Kazama-san-" Osamu started, but Kazama silenced him by putting his lips against his roughly.

Izumi, Kunichika, and Tachikawa were all staring at the screen intently as they watched Kazama pin Osamu against the wall and exchange a few words, before the A-Ranker kissed the B-Ranker. Then, that was all they saw before Izumi jumped up, yelling "I TOLD YOU!", knocked over the computer, tripped over the cable and raced around the room laughing.

When Izumi got like this, Kunichika and Tachikawa knew exactly what to do.

"Hah! I told you they'd get together...guys? Guys?"

When Kazama finally stepped back, the normally stoic captain had to smile at the flushed and dazed look on Osamu's face.

"Call me Soya."

"S-soya-san..." Osamu repeated. "Soya-san, would you mind if I did something?"

Kazama looked at the B-Ranker. "What?"

As an answer, Osamu leaned over and kissed him again.
