karoku coughed. I did it because before you came, gareki was my boyfriend when we were both 13.

gareki's eyes widened as he remembered.

they were boyfriends when they were younger. But karoku had changed a lot since that time, gareki hadn't realized it until now, until he actually took a good look at his face. he had changed his hair color and his eyes were a lot more brighter then they were before, and of course his features had changed. but the thing was he acted different. the karoku he remembered was always...nice. he didn't use him just for sex.

it was really too bad that you hadn't recognized me sooner even though I remembered what you looked like for so many years, even though you've changed a lot. karoku said whipping blood off his lip.

I don't care if you are my old boyfriend you still raped me! gareki yelled at him.

like I said it wasn't rape since you were enjoying it. karoku said.

yogi stopped clenching his fist together and turned to gareki. What does he mean you were enjoying it.

he couldn't stop moaning every time I thrusted into him- karoku started but stopped when gareki interrupted. You know that's a goddamn lie! you know what caused this, that stupid aphrodisiac that you made me swallow!

but still you were- karoku started but stopped as yogi punched him in the stomach. you need to stop talking! This situation is all your fault! you stay away from me and my boyfriend I don't care that you two used to have something between each other, I'm here now so get over it! yogi said. pushing him to the floor ruffly. apparently being told off isn't enough for you, if you get any where near gareki or me again I'll have you locked up. yogi said leaning over him.

yogi stood up strait and looked to gareki saying let's go.

right. he said. gareki looked over to airi. you coming or is dori picking you up.

I can go with you guys. she replied walking around the bar counter. she looked down at karoku in disgust. I don't know what your problem is, but you better not do it to my friend again. she said serious.

all three of them got into the black Mercedes and drove to college, leaving karoku in the bar.

on the way gareki thought of what he had said. It's really to bad that you hadn't recognized me sooner even though i remembered what you looked like for so many years. This was surprising news. There was no way karoku still liked him like he did back then, He had said it himself. he only liked me sexually and that was it, nothing else. What had happened to him over the years to make him only like me like that. The karoku from back then never really acted like that, they both may have been young but karoku always treated me like an actual boyfriend, not like a sex doll.

This is to much to think about now. I have other things to worry about. gareki thought.

do you want to change your schedule for the bar shifts. airi asked.

No. you don't need to do that at all. gareki said. yogi gave gareki a look. you still want to work with him? he said.

no that's not the point. gareki said looking at him for a minute then turned back towards the street. do you think it would be possible for me to talk to hirato today?

yeah you can talk to him. I can take you after college. but why?

I've made my decision. I'm joining the agency.

After collage gareki and yogi drove airi to the bar to get ready for her next shift. are you sure about this? she said. we'er going to have to get a new employee to fill in your place but it won't be the same since you won't be here.

I've got this, don't worry I'll come and see you at what ever time I have. gareki said leaning against the bar's brick wall.

yeah, But you know you still have time to make your decision, you have one more week. she said.

I know but I chose the time now because of karoku, I have a boyfriend now I can't let myself be involved with a past one. I know that sounds...petty but It's what I think. He only used me for sex, and I don't want that to happen again. when you tell hiroshi about me starting a new job tell him I said thanks for the advise he gave me. gareki said walking towards the car.

alright. she said waving goodbye. don't worry about picking me up later dori will do it.

okay. then he got in the car and drove to the library which was really a secret base for the agency hidden under.

once they were inside. it was dark except for a few lights that were on. gareki looked over to yogi. his face was expressionless as he brought out the black circular case and put it to his chest pressing the button in the middle of it. his black and grey skin tight suit covering his body ecept for his head.

It's still on your mind isn't it. gareki said.

of course it is, anything would upset a person in a relationship. he said his face still expressionless.

believe me, I can't stop thinking about it. if it helps I didn't enjoy it one bit. gareki said looking down.

even though he said you were moaning about it. yogi said with a little jealousy in his voice.

yogi even though we just started dating you know I wouldn't do that, I don't cheat. gareki said. stopping by the entrance to the agency.

yeah maybe. he said unsure. still looking strait ahead.

gareki grabbed his shoulder forcing him to face him. look at me, you can't let this get to you. I would never do that to you ok, trust me- gareki stopped as yogi kissed him. gareki's hands clenched yogi's shoulders then they went limp and fell to his sides.

The door to the agency opened to a startled jiki. Whoa! what are you two doing!

they both quickly pulled away. and stared shocked at him.

jiki stared at them both for a moment then his face went to a scowl he shook his head and turned away walking.

yogi straitened up. this isn't good.

what? gareki asked

in the agency relationships aren't allowed. It's mainly a place where it's serious and it's work all the time. if he tells anyone then..he trailed off.

I don't care. I won't let that jerk ruin or relationship, when I see him again I'll force him not to tell any one. gareki said his arms crossing.

me to. yogi said walking. gareki followed. yet again they walked in to all white hallways that looked like a maze. And of course all the halls were long looking to be endless but yogi knew where he was going. The black and grey skin tight suit looked vibrant against all the white.

the both of them passed the research room and heard a loud screech the same screech from when he had almost died in the ally way. a tiny singe of fear placed it self in gareki's gut. but he shrugged it off.

don't worry that always happens when there injecting them with some kind of serum. yogi said noticing the unsure look on gareki's face. They use it to see if it will change them back into humans.

yeah I heard about it from the last time I was here, from the research doctor. gareki said.

they both walked into a room where all computers, work desk, and paper work were in then they walked into another hallway leading to hirato's office. yogi knocked, then they heard a faint come in. they both walked inside to see.

Nai, Eva, Tsukumo,Kiichi, and jiki.

jiki looked to gareki and glared at him.

Gareki,... jiki told me you were both coming.

gareki ignored the look jiki was giving him and walked up in front of hirato's desk. I came here to tell you my decision..on the deal.

hirato had an amused look on his face. yes I figured you would come to talk about that sooner then later, But you do realize that you still have a week left to think about your choice.

I've had plenty of time to think about it. I understand that it's a life or death situation, but I still want to join. I thought about it you said that you need more people like me with my kind of talent. If I don't choose now Then more innocent people will be turned into varuga. My guess is that I have to hack into there base and figure out which location there in. gareki said.

humph..You are exactly correct, you have thought about this. This is why I chose you, someone with your smarts will be perfect for this. There is somethings that we have to discuss first though.

we have had plenty of guesses of where the base of the varuge have been made but none of them have been correct. we all have uncovered the name of the people who have been making these creatures. they call themselves kafka. these people are good at hiding there tracks. The main things that we are trying to figure out now is turning the varuga back into humans and bringing kafka to justice. saying that it won't be easy but I think you knew what you were signing up for when you agreed to our deal. hirato explained.

Your right...I'll admit I am a little scared but. Im doing this to help people.

thats an important thing to think about. said hirato nodding. Now we need to talk about what you will be doing as a hacker. We mainly go looking for varuga at any time, we do this because every time a varuga goes out to feed on a living subject they let out a signal to there base threw the loud noises they make. every time we try to locate the area of where there communicating it ends up being lost by radio interference. this organization only has two computers that can track down where the noises are going without being affected by radio interference. This is where you come in. since we only have jiki as one of our computer hackers were going to need two. since you and jiki have the same intelligence of hacking into things.

Having that said. I'll introduce you to them.

tsukumo. combat fighter

nai. combat fighter

Eva. combat fighter.

Jiki. area location on computers

yogi. combat fighter

and you will be. Base hacker.

The combat fighters are the ones who go on the missions at night to take down varuga, if the varuga is causing damage and is out of line then they must kill it, if it is not, then they bring it here so we can see what we can do about changing them back into human.

All of the subordinates here have to where the black and grey skin tight suits in case a varuga gets lose. The suit will help protect you against them just in case if you need it ,you will be carrying a machine gun if it tries to kill you. hirato said. any further info you can ask one of the others. I have a stack of paper work to handle. with that the rest of them were out of the office.

what your going to need first is your uniform. tsukumo said leading them all towards a room.

once gareki stepped inside he stared in shock at how many machine guns were in the one room, m73's, M85's,M60's, and a bunch more. Damn there loaded. gareki thought. all of a sudden tsukumo put a M73 machine gun in his hands. It's on safety so don't worry. you have used a machine gun before right.

of course not. gareki said.

then your going to need to train, Nai is good with this kind of thing after we get your uniform he will show you.

gareki didn't believe that nai would show him how to use a gun that looked like this, nai looked way younger then he let on to be. was he capable of showing him something like this?

they entered another room in which the walls were covered in the black circular cases that they used to dress in there skin tight uniforms.

eva grabbed one and handed it to gareki while yogi held the gun. Put this to the middle of your chest and press the button in the middle. gareki did as she said and soon his whole body was covered in the black and grey skin tight uniform that would protect him. on closer inspection he noticed the fabric of it was made of leather. the uniform stopped around his neck. the inside of it felt smooth and comfortable, like it fit him perfectly.

every time you leave the base unless your on a mission take off this uniform, you don't want to give away who we are.

gareki nodded and followed them out of the room. they headed down another long hallway. gareki wondered would he ever be able to understand where to go in this place? they all entered a room once they stepped inside it was gun shots hitting bulls eye. the people who were shooting were behind glass and crouching below an opening where the glass wasn't at. they all shot there bullets perfectly into the red dot.

here yogi said giving him the machine gun.

thanks. he said then he followed nai to an opening in the glass.

nai held out his machine gun and looked to gareki. your holding it some what right. your left hand is holding the front handle correctly your right hand has three fingers in the front of the handel while your thumb is pressed against the back, But your index finger shouldn't be on the trigger yet hold it outside the circular part. and the last thing take the machine gun off saftey by doing this. nai adjusted the top part of it. you held it well you only had two mistakes. he said. Nicely done.

Gareki nodded. thanks.

didn't you say you never used a machine gun before? nai asked. you look like you'ev used one.

I used to play games that had guns in it when I was younger. gareki said.

that explains it. said nai. alright then, stand in the opening. gareki did so.

you have to focus on the red dot in the middle of the bulls eye to get a bullet threw it. nai said it's better if you crouch on one knee. gareki did so. also make sure that your holding it away from your face and shoulder, once you start shooting it can push you back a bit. he said.

Gareki positioned it so it was above his shoulder a few inches in front of it.

when I say go you shoot alright. nai said.

yeah. gareki said focusing on the target. he closed one eye to line it up with the gun. Alright I can do this. gareki whispered to himself.

Go! nai said.

gareki put his index finger on the trigger and shot the the bullets out of the machine gun he pulled his finger off of it.

two of the bullets had landed a little above the red dot but the third bullet hit the red dot right in the middle. gareki stared in shock as he made a bulls eye on his fist try.

Whoa! your better then I thought you'd be. to bad your a computer hacker you would have made a great combat fighter. I guess so. gareki said standing up.

we can practice more on this tomorrow. nai said.

the others were standing against the wall watching.

I have a feeling that he's going to be good for this organization. said eva.

why do you say that. asked kiichi. It's still to early to tell.

he already proved himself to be smart while he was talking to hirato, he figured out the whole plan for himself without hirato having to tell him, he has experience with guns to, he needs a little more practice but other then that he's good in my book. said tsukumo.

hmm. what do you think jiki. you and him are doing the same thing, working with computers. eva asked

It doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't get in my way then he'll be fine.

yogi glared at him. what do you mean he'll be fine. it sounds like your threatening him.

well maybe I am. you and him better not slow us down. this is serious. People are out there being turned into varuga and all he's going to do is be your boyfriend.

shut up jiki! what me and gareki have is non of your business! yogi said.

wait a minute are you and gareki boyfriends. kiichi asked in shock.

yeah and I don't care what the rule is. me and him are staying together!

what's going on. gareki asked just noticing jiki and yogi yelling.

oh nothing just that you two are boyfriends. kiichi said

you told them?! gareki hissed at yogi.

No! jiki did. he replied

I didn't know you were gay!... I'm sorry but you can't date in this place. it's against the rules. eva said

rules, rules! that's all we follow in this places. it's nothing if just me and gareki are together. it doesn't even matter and it doesn't concern you! yogi said to jiki.

oh really! jiki said make his phone appear. let's see what hirato has to say about this.

gareki snatched it out of his hand. Damn your so fucking immature! just like yogi said it doesn't concern you! if me and him want to date then we don't have to show we have feelings for each other in this place! you all said it your selves this place doesn't allow relationships because it's all work here, then that's what we'll do!

jiki clenched his teeth together. like I said I told you not to get in my way. he lurched forward aiming for gareki's face, but gareki side stepped to the side just in time to let tsukumo knee kick him in the stomach sending him flying against the wall.

that's enough jiki! she yelled landing back on her feet.

jiki fell to the floor on his knees grabbing his stomach in pain...why'd you do that for..he's the one not following the rule-

I said that's enough! she yelled again. she turned towards gareki. It's true that you two can't have a relationship here but I never really much liked that rule in the first place. You two can stay together and just ignore these people unless they want to allow you to date yogi also. tsukumo said turning towards Eva, kiichi,and Nai.

eh. well it's fine with me, there not causing any trouble, eva said.

yeah what she said. said kiichi.

it doesn't matter to me. nai said.

okay then your all keeping this a secret. tsukumo said.

yeah,ok,sure. they all agreed.

tsukumo looked over to jiki. the only person left is you.

jike scowled. no way in hell would I ever agree about that. he said putting his glasses back in place then he got to his feet and left the room.

the room was in silence for a moment.

thanks tsukoumo. gareki said.

welcome. I hate it when people judge because someones different. she said.

The rest of the day gareki had been shown around the base and where his working post would be in the room full of computers, work desk, and paper work. he had discussed with hirato when he could go to college and about if he would be getting pad working under the agency. Hirato had said yes he would be getting paid and since the agency was such an important career job he would be getting paid a lot more then what he did in the bar. as for college. he would have to go to the agency in the morning then college then back to the agency again. the only break days they would have would be on Saturdays. It would be hard to put in work time since he had an upcoming test in two weeks, so he had to stay up a lot later then usual to fit in hours of it.

the sooner college was over the more he could focus his time in the agency.

he didn't have to worry about karoku at least he thought. he hand't showed his face in college that morning. gareki didn't think much of it, and why would he karoku had changed and not in a good way that gareki liked. he didn't know what was going to happen to himself now would karoku be pursistant like he had told gareki that day in the bathroom or will he give up. the giving up part gareki hoped he would do that.

gareki stood in his bedroom looking out the large window that gave a good view of the lit up city below it was a beautiful site. it was Thursday and tomarow would be Friday the day he started his career a dangerous and twisted one.

he closed his eyes in thought, after a moment he felt two strong arms rap around his waist a naked chest touched his naked back and a voice whispered in his ear.

you alright. yogi asked quietly.

I'm fine. gareki said quietly also.

come to bed then. he whispered.

gareki stared at the lit up city a little longer then he nodded in agreement. Okay.
