Chapter 11
From where she sat in her room, she could recall what had happened earlier as she gazed out the window. She sat comfortably in a chair that easily rolled across the floor, and while she'd been attempting to work, she found herself rolling the chair over to the window.
Had that really happened? Had he...kissed her? She remembered...looking at him, with such...confusion as he was so angry of his demotion...he'd been yelling minutes before...then he'd kissed her. No warning, no reason. Then he'd stormed out; leaving Aki confused beyond her own belief.
Why did it happen? What was it for? She put a hand to her forehead. "This is all...too much to think about..." she muttered. Standing up, she walked across the room to her computer, to where a new message beeped for her this time.

I don't really know what to say. This is...crazy. Your oh-so-special doctor sent me a message, claiming there are only two of your 'spirit waves' left to find, and he told me to notify you, and go out to find them. I still don't know why the good doctor sent ME the message, and not you. He's probably on to me. By next week, I bet I'll be lower than a major. Damn him.
--End message--
Aki frowned. What was this all about?

Hein paced back and forth in his room. He was sure the scuff marks on the floor were from his boots.
What had he done that for?
"I'm such an IDIOT!" he growled, banging a clenched fist against the table. The items on the table rattled with the force, and he was pretty sure there was a dent in the table that hadn't been there before.
There was a beep at his door, signifying someone there. "What?" he growled.
"Uh...Major? It's Aki, I'm here about the...spirit wave?" came her voice from outside his door. Walking to the door and banging his forehead against it a few times, he decided to let her in.
"What are you talking about this time?" he muttered as she walked in, without giving him a second glance.
"The message you sent me. About Dr. Sid?" she asked.
Hein frowned. "...I didn't send you a message, what's going on?" he asked.
Aki sat down in the seat across from his computer, ignoring his protests, and logged into her message control center.
"See, right here." She pointed to a tiny icon that read: 'Major Hein-09: 43am'
Hein frowned. "Weird...I didn't send that. What does it say?"
Aki opened it so he could read it for himself. Hein smirked after.
"It's Sid. The good doctor is playing with us."
"Why do you say that?" Aki asked, turning to face him.
He simply smiled and patted her shoulder. "We'll find out soon. Come, let's go look for the spirit wave."
"What is this all about?" Aki muttered to herself. "Maybe I should have just shoved him in jail..." She grinned. It was going to get interesting.

Solo by Raine and all that
Severus here. I finally figured out what to do with chapter 13 (bah) and Raine did chapter 15 without a cliffhanger. Hehe. Anyway, so, enjoy this chapter. I kinda forgot the last one I posted was a cliffhanger itself. I wasn't paying attention.
Thanx to all those great reviewers and the people with this on their favorite list!
