Well here we go with another chapter! Props to Fade to Osaka for getting the film reference! The Technique used is based on the Ludovico technique from "A Clockwork Orange" and the two founders were taken from the same film as well. On we go then!

DISCLAIMER: Obviously I don't own any of the characters or themes of Azumanga Daioh, if I did, i'd be too busy rolling around in my money to write this.

The Pervert, The Officer, The Hero Part 10

"Wake up!" Bellowed the voice of Takejiro as Kimura was finally awoken from his slumber. "Okay, i'm getting up!" Kimura retorted, being in a rather bad mood as he'd been rather rudely awakened. "You seem in a bad mood this morning" Takejiro remarked as Kimura splashed a handful of cold water over his face from the sink in the corner of the room. "Yeah...I wonder why?" Kimura responded with a strong tone of sarcasm.

"Well in this line of work you need to be awake at least. You'd be pretty useless to anybody if you slept 'till noon" Takejiro commented as Kimura dried of his face and pulled on his now clean clothes. "Today is gonna be very busy, seeing as Akita is back. Oh, by the way, you need to pick up your ID from the boss" Takejiro informed Kimura as he raised his tie up to his neck.

"ID...?" Kimura asked sounding uncertain. "Yeah, it's to make sure you can access where you're allowed to, and keep you out of where your not" Takejiro told him with a grin on his face. "He doesn't like people being late either, i'd get down to his office quick if I were you..." He advised Kimura as he exited the quarters to go do whatever tasks awaited him.

"Well...best not keep Fujishima waiting then..." Kimura thought to himself as he exited the room himself and headed down the main stairway to the waiting area like place that was in front of Fujishima's office.

"Oh...it's the new guy..." came the sneering voice of Eisaku, as it seemed to be his turn to man the desk in front of the office. "Yeah it's me...I need to pick up my ID from the boss" Kimura said quickly, instantly feeling uneasy in Eisaku's presence. "You better stick to where you're allowed to go...i've got my eyes on you" Eisaku quietly remarked as he gestured for Kimura to enter the office.

"Shit...he must've heard about Tonomibe's outburst yesterday, I gotta watch him..." Kimura advised himself as he came under the glare of Masashi Fujishima. "Ah...you've arrived, and with time to spare" Fujishima said, pointing to the clock overhead that read "11:39" in big, red, blocky numbers. "I...I wasn't told a time...sir" Kimura nervously told Fujishima. "Yes i'm aware of that. It's just common courtesy not to take your time when going to a meeting with someone" Fujishima smiled as he said this, a rare occurrence in and of itself.

"With your completion of your mission and the return of Akita. You can now access many areas which were previously off-limits to you, with this" He said, reaching into one of his desk compartments and revealing a small, rectangular I.D card which read:

Taikan Shige

Level 3 access level

"It doesn't have much information on it right?" Fujishima asked a quizzical Kimura "Um...no...sir" Kimura replied uneasily "Everything is inside the thing, you simply swipe it down the panels beside the access doors and your granted entrance" Fujishima informed him, tossing the card into Kimura's open hands.

"The areas this card grants you access to are the server room, the communications room and the basement, which I wouldn't advise going into if Akita is down there, bad memories of his therapy" Kimura shivered at the sound of the Aversion therapy, he just hoped that he would never have to go through such a procedure.

"You will eventually gain higher level access, but for now you're restricted to those three areas. Violation of this rule will result in...lets just say you really don't want to find out" Fujishima said warningly.

"I'll call you down here when I wish to assign you something, for know you can check out the new rooms if you like" Fujishima told him, ushering him out of the office and out into the waiting area. Eisaku was gone, which was a big relief for Kimura, because Eisaku was suspicious at least.

"Now...there has to be a data bank of some sort...or archives of prisoners and such...if I can find them, i've got Akashi Takino solved" thought Kimura with a new found hope in his mind, "I might just be able to pull this off, and get out alive" thought Kimura, emitting a smile on his pale face.

"You're new right?" came the voice of Akita Tonomibe from behind Kimura. He temporarily froze, then slowly turned around to look Tonomibe in the face. "I'd just like to welcome you, if you need any help, i'll help you anytime" Tonomibe said with a large, friendly smile on his face as he grabbed Kimura's hand into a firm handshake. "See you later then, the boss called for me earlier" Tonomibe informed Kimura, dashing down the stairs Kimura had recently ascended.

"Hmm...I guess that's what his medication does for him, gives him a whole new personality..." Kimura thought with a slight shudder.

Well, I hope you all enjoyed that! I think i'm about half-way through my story now. It depends how much time it takes me to reach my pre-planned ending. Since thinking up the "middle" of the story has been the challenge for me. Pop me a review would you? Thanks for reading!
