Also, please leave a review. Sorry for the late update, I'm running out of ideas. I don't want this Fanfic to just be about the main points in the story. Feel free to give me some ideas.
Thanks for another suggestion CrimsonAegis!
Winter's POV
The next day, I wake up to an announcement from Hibari telling me to report for mission briefing. I put on my Battle attire and leave for the lower level of the Den. Once there, I meet Kota, Alisa, Sakuya, Kanon, Gina and Annette in front of Hibari's desk.
"Are you ready for the Lovely Lindow Luring Line-up Phase 2?" Kota asks me with his hands on his hips.
"You mean we're doing it again?" I respond with a question of my own.
"Of course we are. Now, everyone, get your stuff ready, we'll be leaving in 10 minutes!" Kota shouts to the whole group and we all disperse.
After we had all dispersed, I went back into my room to grab a different attire. After all,
'if the girls can look good on the missions, why can't I?' I kept the Battle Trousers on but changed into my sleeveless Petunia Shirt. After changing my attire, I collected my God Arc and headed for the roof. The blades on the helicopters are not spinning, suggesting that not everybody is up here. I headed towards the closest one and jumped in.
"Yo! Looks like we're in the same helicopter again." Gina says and I sit opposite her.
"Seems that way." I take in Gina's attire and notice it is, somehow, more revealing than before. Her top covered her stomach but it only covered about 25% of her breasts, revealing all her cleavage.
'She's not wearing a bra!' My thoughts screamed out at me and I turned to face the wall. I hear her giggle.
'Dammit! My face must be red!' I think to myself before giving my face time to relieve its redness. I turn back towards her once I was sure the redness subsided and I see the perfect opportunity to annoy her, although my redness comes back.
"Cold out here?" I ask and she stares at me with a confused face. Seconds later, she notices my expression before looking down and noticing.
"Pervert!" She shouts playfully before moving and sitting down next to me.
'Oh God, this won't end well.' I think to myself as she wraps an arm around my neck. I pull away but she uses her arm to pull me back.
"You've seen mine, why can't I see yours?" She whispers into my ear before moving her hand to take off my shirt. I pull away from her and move to the opposite seats. She follows me though.
'I'm going to have to wait for the rest of them outside of the helicopter.' I think to myself before moving to leave the helicopter. Gina attempts to pull me back as he grabs my top. I grab the doors to the helicopter as she pulls with all her strength but I launch myself out of the helicopter. I land outside of the helicopter and instantly feel a cold draught. I turn back to see that Gina had ripped my shirt off.
"Winter! What is the meaning of this?" Comes a new voice and I see that Sakuya's angry expression whilst it looks like Kanon, who is next to her, is about to cry.
"This isn't what it looks like!" I say in a panic and turn to Gina, "Tell them what happened!" Gina just retreats further back into the helicopter.
"Bitch!" I shout as she leaves me to explain what happened.
"She was grabbing my shirt and I tried to leave but she was following me and she was pulling on my shirt as I jumped out of the helicopter." I say, still panicked. Kanon holds back sobs as Sakuya comforts her.
"Were you two even listening?" I ask but they move to the other helicopter. I hear Annette's voice from the other helicopter,
"What happened?"
"This isn't going to be good." I say before re-entering the helicopter, glaring at Gina as I sat opposite her. She just smirked.
"Don't worry, she'll get over it." Gina says, trying to comfort me.
"It's your fault I'm in this mess." I say back to her.
"What mess are you in and why are you shirtless?" Alisa asks as she enters the helicopter and sitting next to me. I didn't even care that her outfit showed more under boob than usual.
"Gina decided to pull my top off and I jumped off the helicopter shirtless. Now Kanon and Sakuya probably think that I am cheating on her." I state matter of factly.
"Well, I'm sure she'll get over it." Alisa says and I turn to her as she says that. I notice that she has her eyes locked onto my body.
"My eyes are a little further up." I state as she moves her head up and notices that I caught her staring at me. She turns a little red as she says,
"I wasn't admiring your body. I was looking at all the scars. The ones I can see look very old as they are faint..."
"Pervert." I turn away from her as I feel the helicopter lift off.
"Kota got onto the other helicopter, so it'll just be us three." Alisa says, trying to change the subject.
"So we'll meet them there. Were are we going to first?" I ask.
"We're going to the Abandoned Carrier first." Gina speaks up.
The rest of the journey is a quiet one until I hear the pilot telling us that we've arrived. I jump out of the helicopter straight after I heard him. I land and see that nobody else has arrived yet. I hear two more people land and head for a huge stone nearby which I sit on, waiting for the rest of the team to arrive. Alisa and Gina wait with me. About 5 minutes later, we see the helicopter coming closer to us. It takes another 10 minutes before they land. Kota heads towards me but the girls that were with him, Kanon, Sakuya and Annette, stay back and give me the evil eye.
"You ready?" He asks with a plain expression and so I answer him with the same expression,
"Yeah."
"You lead, Kanon behind and the rest will follow." Kota states.
'He must be trying to help me sort this out with Kanon.' I think to myself and say,
"Sounds like a plan." I walk away from Kota and take up residence at the head of the pack with everyone else falling in line behind me. After a couple of minutes, I try whispering to Kanon,
"Kanon, about the earlier situation.."
"I heard what you said when we were on the roof. I know you wouldn't do anything like that but it will take me a while to forget." She whispers back.
"Holy hell! Large Aragami dead ahead!" Annette shouts which alerts the Aragami and comes walking towards us.
"Any idea what it is?" I ask Sakuya, being the most experienced.
"None at all, it is new to me." She answers.
"Right everyone, this is a new Aragami so be ready for anything!" I say to the whole pack. I turn back towards it as it comes to a stop about 100 metres away from us. It's almost like a stand off. I take in the appearance of the Aragami. It was a massive four legged Aragami that had blobs of jelly on its body. It also had two horns at the front as well as the body of a large chested woman.
"This is not how I wanted to see my first pair of boobs." I mutter silently and get a sharp smack on the head from Kanon.
'Dammit. She must have heard.' I think to myself while self-consciously rubbing the back of my head. The beast comes charging at us.
"Split off!" I command and I slash at the jelly filled sack as it runs by us. I hear Alisa and Annette charge towards it head first and it rears back before oozing a purple liquid. I jump to avoid the, what I assumed poisonous, liquid but the Aragami spins itself on the liquid and its leg swipes me out of the air. I land, hard, but I promptly get back up as I see it charging towards me with an electrical current located between its horns. I jump out of the way but the Aragami suddenly stops and unleashes the electricity in a 20 metre radius, hitting me in the process.
"Ahh!" I scream as the electricity courses through me and I find myself unable to move from the ground. Once the Aragami finishes its electrical attack, Kota shoots the woman's body on the beast and it moves towards him. I attempt to pick myself up but find myself unable to do so. I notice Sakuya come by and erect a healing pillar which gives me the energy I need to pull myself up and get back into the fight.
"Be careful next time." Sakuya says before running further towards the Aragami. I, too, run closer to the Aragami and start slashing at the jelly sack under its tail. After a few hits though, a Gboro-Gboro's head pops out and releases multiple balls of ice. Luckily, I put up my shield just in time to avoid being hit.
"Argh! Am I doomed to uncover all of its secrets by being attacked?" I say rhetorically as I am pushed back several metres. I move my target to the jelly filled sack on its leg that I was attacking earlier. After a few hits, I break it but I hear Kanon shout,
"Look out for its tail!" I see the tail of a Borg Camlann being swung towards me and I manage to jump over it with only milliseconds to spare. Once I land, I get back to swinging my God Arc.
After another 10 minutes, the Aragami finally falls and Kota extracts its core.
"Well, I think that's enough for one day." Annette says with her hands on her knees, panting.
"Yeah, I didn't expect to run into a new Aragami." Alisa says, sitting on the ground to get her breath back. I notice that I am not immune to being at a loss of breath either. It takes me less time than the others to get my breath back though.
"Yeah, we'll call it a day. I'll call the helicopters." I say before radioing to Hibari and asking for the helicopters. 30 minutes later and the helicopters arrive. I decide to get into the same helicopter as Kanon which just so happens to be the same as Gina's and Sakuya's. Gina and I tell them about what happened which earns both of us a slap of the head by the person sitting next to us, Kanon for me and Sakuya for Gina. A few minutes of silence later and Gina brings up a subject I wanted to avoid,
"So, Winter, how did you get those scars?"
