Chapter 12
Luna sits on the ground outside for her advanced Dragoon class. She watches the teacher show the students how to handle a colt 45. He shoots a rubber bullet and it hits the target. "Who would like to try shooting next?"
Luna raises her hand.
"Miss Wilk, thank you for volunteering."
Luna gets up from her seat and walks up to the teacher.
"Alright Miss Wilk, I want you to load this rubber bullet in the barrel and shoot the target as close to the center as possible."
"Okay" Luna opens the magazine puts the rubber bullet in its place. Replacing the magazine she checks to make sure the safety is off and then pulls the hammer back. Using two hands she aims the gun with her sites and squeezes the trigger. The rubber bullet is released from the barrel and it hits the center of the target.
"Wow, right in the center. Very good Luna."
Luna bows thanking the teacher and she is excused to go back to her seat in the grass.
Suguro leans over and whispers, "Nice Wilk. You told me you shot with your dad but you never said how good of a shot you were."
Luna turns to face him and blushes when she realizes how close he is to her face when she does. She leans back a little. "We used to go to the shooting range a lot. My dad was friends with the guy who owned it and he would set up all kinds of targets for us to shoot."
"Mr. Suguro, your turn." The teacher motions for him to get up from the grass.
"Good luck." Luna Smiles.
Suguro gets up and prepares the gun. Using one hand he pulls back the hammer and holds it out aiming with the sites. He takes a breath and shoots the gun hitting the bullseye.
"Wonderful Mr. Suguro! You may sit down now. Class I'll be giving everyone that hit the target a gun to practice at the schools shooting range on their own time. Anyone else will have to come to the range between the hours of three and four to shoot with me."
Suguro sits down next to Luna.
"Good job, and you said I was a crack shot. I'm amazed you only used one hand. I thought that gun had a lot of kick to it but apparently not for you." She leans closer to whisper in his ear. "That's kind of hot." She sits back down and watches the teacher pull out several guns of different sizes.
Suguro meanwhile blushes and watches Luna's face. He is so engrossed that he almost doesn't hear the teacher come up to him.
"Mr. Suguro here's your pistol. I know you requested a bazooka but you'll start with this for now."
"Okay, thank you."
"Miss Wilk you requested a smaller pistol and caliber. That means it will have less bullets. I'd recommend a gun with a larger magazine."
Luna looks up to the teacher, "I'm hoping to not have to use my gun to often so fewer bullets should be fine." She smiles.
"Suit yourself, you can always be issued a larger gun later." The teacher dismisses the class.
Suguro and Luna walk to Mr. Okumara's class together. "What are you doing to night Wilk? Do you want to go out to the shooting range with me to practice?"
"I can't." Luna looks down and away from him.
"Got a big date you have to get ready for, or something?" Suguro put's his hands in his pockets.
"No, it's a full moon. I'll be changing in the woods tonight." She snaps her fingers nervously.
"Oh, that's right. I didn't even think about it. Maybe next week sometime."
Luna looks up at Suguro and smiles. "I'd like that."
He smiles back.
"Hey guys!" Shima runs up to them and wraps an arm around Luna's neck leaning it on her shoulders. "I heard you shot the target right in the center Wilk."
"Yes that's true I did. Suguro hit the bullseye of the target too." Luna nods towards Suguro.
"Yeah but its way more impressive when a girl does it." He smiles.
"Why is that?" Luna smirks.
"Well girls don't usually shoot guns. So it's just more interesting and sexy to hear about."
"Ah, now the truth comes out. You think I'm attractive because I can shoot a gun properly."
Suguro looks at the two of them and frowns but shakes it off quickly putting a stern face on. "I'll see the two of you in class I forgot something in my locker."
"Ok Bon" Shima looks his way.
Luna pushes Shima's arm off of her shoulder when she noticed that Suguro was upset about something.
"So it's finally Friday. Whatch'ya doing tonight Wilk?" ask Shima.
Luna sees Suguro's head turn to hear her response. "It's a full moon I'll be in the woods changing tonight." She sees Suguro nod his head and move in the direction of his locker.
Shima puts his hands behind his head. "Ah, so you're playing the lone wolf card tonight."
Luna smirks at Shima, "I wish I didn't have too."
"Well you could always come to my room just before you change." Shima winks at her.
"No thanks."
"Can't blame a guy for trying." Shima opens the door for Luna.
She walks into Mr. Okumara's classroom with Shima behind her. Luna sees Kamiki sneer and then gaze at her with daggers out of the corner of her eye. 'Geez what's with people today?' she thinks. 'I can just smell the jealousy.'
