5 MAY 18

A bunch of stuff added to this chapter! Enjoy and review!

"This place is starting to shape up Reaper, but I do wonder how your Soldiers obtain some of their gear?" The General was walking beside Marco as he surveyed the progress that was made in the last month.

"Minor details General, minor… what matters is my troopers are ready to be put to use. Training is starting to get boring around here!" Marco was hoping he wouldn't ask too many questions about the equipment.

"I see, by chance, you wouldn't know anything about a shipment of mine going missing last week, would you?" The General was the one who fed him the information about the shipment seeing how it was meant for the rear detachment units. Reaper didn't know that.

"No Sir!" Was all he said.

"Well then Commander, here are your orders. This is your moment to shine and prove yourself young man." They stopped and faced each other, The General placed his hand on Marco's shoulder.

"I wish you luck my friend..." Then he walks away with his private security detail.

Asuka was behind them as The General was making his checks, she was sweating her ass off when the equipment came into question, "That… was weird, I thought we were done for?"

"He's not so bad... let's see where we'll be going... I'm too nervous, you open the envelope!" He was shaking with joy.

"GIVE ME THAT IDIOT!" She snatches the envelope from him and rips it open.

"Hmmmmmm uh huh... okay... well duh!" Asuka was reading to herself out loud knowing that pissed him off.

"Any chance you're going to tell me what the hell it says?" His eye was twitching in annoyance.

"Give me a second... sooo it says we're going to Shula? Never heard of it? We have three days to get there." She passes the orders back to him.

Marco smiled and then looked off to the side where a group of his men were training.

"Wait, what the hell was that?" She was confused.

"It's a miserable shithole where Soldiers go to die, I think it's perfect place to show what we're made of!" He looks at her and then smiles.

Asuka looks up to him as their eyes meet, then her chest starts to hurt as he smiles more, "*cough* unmmmm Sir… should we tell the others?"

"I'll leave that to you Major, assemble the CO's and make them aware of the orders. I have something to work on for tonight's celebration!" He starts to walk away.

"You're not talking about that warehouse you turned into a bar with all the bullshit on the walls?" She couldn't believe he was sticking her with this alone.

He turns around and points a finger in her face, "It's called The Outlaw Star and the men love that place after kicking the shit out of each other… plus, bar keep saves the good stuff for me!"

She smirks at him, "I still think you should have named it Shenanigans!"

"Yeah sure, now move your ass Major!" Reaper was ready for a drink.

Later That Night

"CAN IT AND LISTEN UP!" Captain Reinhardt stands on top of the bar ripped off his ass, "Tonight we have a special guest in the bar… come up here you ugly fucker!"

Asuka shoved Marco forward as the CO pulled him up onto the bar. While there was never a true uniform that was to be worn, rank was to be pinned under the left collar bone. Being the Battalion Commander, his rank was one gold star with two swords crossed, handles on top.

Now that he wasn't wearing a shirt, he was just another Joe just trying to relax, "Okay, okay, I'm up here… what do you want?"

"Well Sir, this is the first time anyone saw you here beside the bar keep, we just wanted to pay respect to that man that made this place happen!" The room roars as everyone yells and drinks some more.

"He looks good up there huh, what do you think Asuka?" Ryoko was drinking herself wanting to poke fun on how Asuka kept looking at him.

"Oh god, he looks amazing with all those scars and muscle…" Miia couldn't take her eyes off him.

"I'm not looking at him in that way, just admiring some of my work that I left on him!" Asuka points to a rather nasty scar over his heart.

"See that one, that was one of the first ones I made!" She smiles to herself now having a warm fuzzy feeling.

"Ouch… the Commander must have really rubbed you the wrong way?" Ryoko winced in pain.

Reaper looks down to see Asuka pointing at him, so he points down back at her and blows her a kiss.

She looked up at him with surprise and blushed, "Stupid…" Then she laughs it off and flips him the bird.

"He's one hell of a man…" Miia starts to blush some more.

"Alright, listen up you dirty drunks!" Marco downs a large mug all in one shot.

"Now *burp* I want you all to know I'm proud of every single one of you, these last few weeks have been hell… but we have made the best of this bullshit and… what… wait… one second." His XO was trying to grab his attention.

Asuka felt he might get a little long winded and wanted to put an end to it before it got out of hand. She made her way to him, "Oh shut up you loud mouth monkey and have another drink!"

"STOP CALLING ME A DAMN MONKEY, HE'S A MONKEY!?" Reaper takes the drink and points to Staff Sergeant Mitch that's just an overgrown size monkey.

"Yeah, it's very rude and discriminatory. I have a tail, he doesn't. He's an ape!" The SSG wanted to make sure everyone knew the difference.

"Real smooth Mitch… thanks a lot for that lesson…" The bar broke out in a huge laughter.

"Anyway, I have one rule, everyone fights, nobody quits, you don't do your job and I'll end your life myself… you read me?" His eyes were dead cold staring everyone down in the room.

Seether - Careless Whisper… I never done this before, but I think this song fits this small part perfectly.

Everyone cheered so loud they almost blew out the windows in the warehouse and the juke box starts to play a song, he pulled Auska onto the bar next to him and held her hip tight to him.

"These Warriors are going to fuck some shit up… just you watch!" Now finishing his drink.

She couldn't pull her eyes off him as he kept talking, she didn't understand what she was feeling right now, but she likes the way he held her and how wram his hand felt. Asuka kept looking at the side of his face until he turned to look at her.

"I couldn't have done it without you..." He closes his eyes and smiles at her.

"We really could have really fucked this up, but we put aside our differences to make it happen… together… thank you." Now opening his eyes and rubbing his hand on her hip. Reaper felt that little ping between his legs going off.

It had been so long since the last time he held a women like this… too long. She was amazing in every way and the latino would be crazy to think she wasn't sexy in her own way. Better yet, she wasn't attacking to get him off and seemed to be enjoying the contact also...

"There's that fucking smile again… why does he make me fe-" She shakes the thought and then shoves him into the crowd as everyone held him up and moved him throughout the room.

They kept looking at one another as he drifted away from her sight.

Later That Night

Marco was able to hide in his favorite booth that was deep in a dark corner, alone and having a drink by himself like always. The warehouse was still packed with people passing by him every now and then.

"Mind if I have a drink with you, Sir?" Ryoko asked him as she held a large full bottle of ale.

"I'm not on duty Captain, Reaper is just fine… I could use the company." Taking the last swig from his drink and placing his right arm up on the headrest.

"Thank you for the offer Reaper..." She fills up the mugs and curls up close to him, this was the first time with her being so close to him and was not going to let it pass by. The smell coming off him was playing crazy with her as she started to get wet with wanting.

"Look at them…" He says to her.

She snaps out of her trance and looks up to him, then to the crowd, "Reaper?"

"This day shall be one of the best we'll ever have, we could all be dead in a few days and not give a damn… kind of funny if you think about it!" He laughs at his own joke.

"I don't see it that way." She starts to massage his thigh.

"They fight for you and refused to die, it's more out of fear from your call sign. A lot of them think that if they die in battle, you'll be the Reaper to take them while kicking their ass the whole way for eternity!" They started to laugh together as Ryoko felt his hard on and wanted it in her.

Reaper let's out a soft moan loving the contact, Ryoko was an Officer just like him and this wasn't an issue. She places a hot kiss on his neck that felt too good for him, her hand starts to pull at the hard item between his legs and was amazed by the size.

Asuka catches Ryoko's little show as she keeps pushing her luck and finds Reaper more then happy with her advances. "I need some air."

She starts to feel sick while walking out the bar. Why the hell was that sight making her sick to her stomach? It's not like her and Reaper had anything more the a mutual hatred for each other. That wasn't true, it was her with the issue, he never truly hurt her like she did so many times to him.

He would always hold back and she hated him even more for that, why wouldn't he just put her in her place? Asuka hate to admit it, but he was a better Swordsman than her. Due to her species, she was 5 time stronger and faster then him.

It never seemed to matter with him, he always had this flow to shove off her attacks or use her talent against herself. "Maybe… it would be too easy for him to defeat me?"

How she envy to say those words out loud, no one had ever bested her, everyone knew she was just a powerful as him… what they didn't know, she could never beat him. It was always a game to him, but not to her.

"So Reaper, is there anyone important in your life right now or you more just into having fun?" Ryoko grabs at his erection harder and bites his ear.

"Hssssss it's a little odd, I don't do a lot of dating nowadays… or ever, but I kinda have this odd thing with this woman. We hook up sometimes, but we haven't seen each other in like a year. I don't know, what's the deal with Hekapoo?" He was enjoying the attention and wanted more.

"Hekapoo?" The room grows quiet, "As in our Goddess?" She pulls away in shock.

"Actually, I worship Rhombulus!" Someone in the back yells out loud.

"You got a shitty god Steve!" Another drunk yells out and then thrown a mug across the room.

"That's blasphemous dickface!?" Steve wasn't going to take that shit tonight.

"BITCH!?" The drunk looks like he's itching for a fight.

"Oh and I'm dating Jessica Rabbit!" As someone else slams their hand on Marco's table.

"Don't be silly!" Ryoko starts to laugh and smacks his chest.

"No really, check it out!" Reaper takes out the picture of their first date in a photo booth with one hand on Hekapoo's hip and the other pointing at her with a goofy smile. It was one of the few items he always kept on him, everyone stares in awe.

"Sir, I've never had more respect for anyone in my life right this moment!" The man in front of his table said.

"Holy crap!" A female peeks her head over the booth.

One of guards that's part of the team to break up Marco and Auska's fight pulls the picture, "IS.. IS HE OUR NEW GOD!? HOW DOES THIS WORK?! DO WE WORSHIP HIM NOW TOO?!" He looks back to the other members on the team as they start.

ROCK

PAPER

SCISSORS

SHOOT

They all nod to him and gave a thumbs up.

"I need a priest, I think I've had some thoughts that will get me smite!" Miia was now shaking with fear.

"HOLY SHIT?! Is it a sin to give God's boy toy a BJ?" Ryoko licks her lips with hunger.

Marco was laughing his ass off until hearing the last part, "Wait, what was that?"

So right now you guys want to know what's up with him and Hekapoo, right? Well he's in love with her, but not tied down, hell in the last year he hasn't seen her once. Sex is pretty much is sex unless you love someone I guess.

I do need to fit in the next chapter or something that she's been watching him, but I would say she's giving him room to grow right now and seeing what's out there now rather than him wanting other women when they're officially together.
