A/N: As always, thanks for all the reviews!! I know what you're thinking ... Wow! Riva _actually_ updated this faster than I thought!' Well, technically that's true, but honestly, for the first Sunday in like ... well, ages ... I didn't have to go to work, thus leaving me extremely bored today. Anyhoo, like I said to Alexzandria, Storm Call, I'm getting to it!! There just aren't enough hours in a day -_-

And btw, I do watch too much Charlie's Angels ... but hey, who can resist Cameron Diaz?? *drool* AND two other pretty good looking costars?? *drools some more* No wonder why all the boys I know love this movie ~_^


Dedication: You know, I just realized that I haven't made any dedications in a while ... don't ask me why ... but this story is for Alex Tenoh, who was the only person who wished me a happy birthday (no, it's not my b-day for a while, but that's not the point right now) last year. So much for love!! *bawling* Joking, I'll get over myself. Now, on with the story!

Chapter 2: Monday Mission

Good morning angels! A voice came from a speaker box that sat in the center of the table. I hope that you're all rested and ready for your next assignment; meet Dr. Souichi Tomoe and his 10 year-old daughter Hotaru. Dr. Tomoe specialized in genetics where he manipulated the dna in cells creating new breeds of species. Last night they were both kidnapped from the Infinity Academy, along with all of his research.

Who do we think did it? Setsuna asked, wondering the same thing as the other two.

The speaker from the box continued with her soft, reserved voice. Jonathan Chambers, a wealthy british man who moved to Tokyo hoping to acquire new partners in business. He had approached Dr. Tomoe several times, however he had always declined, stating that his research was solely for the evolution of mankind.

So, Chambers is our one and only lead, and hopefully he'll take us to the Tomoe Family. Michiru said aloud, though morellos making a statement than anything else.

Chambers is to appear at the Cherry Blossom Fashion Show as one of the biggest sponsors--

Oh no, you can't be thinking what I think you're thinking. Haruka cut in, jumping up from her usual slouching on the couch.

Michiru however took a much different approach, Oh come on, it's going to be tons of fun! This may be the one and only time we get to see you in a dress! Setsuna sniggered at this, but silenced herself quickly from the glare that Haruka gave her. Besides, if this turns out to be a successful mission - which I don't see why it wouldn't - that means we have to have a mission success celebration! She leaned in towards Haruka and whispered a few words in her ear, causing the blonde to turn a deep shade of crimson.

Oh gosh, get a room! Setsuna wailed, throwing a pillow at the two of them.

First we'll analyze the crime scene, then head to the Fashion Show. Michiru giggled, We'll hopefully have a badguy by then. The other two agreed immediately, and they headed off into the computer lab to study the kidnap footage.

Michiru suddenly shouted out, causing Setsuna - who was sitting at the computer - to jump. Go back a few seconds ... there! Freeze frame, and enhance.

Hey, she's kinda cute! Haruka grinned, looking at the picture of a woman who had glanced up briefly before getting into the getaway car. Well, at least we have more leads than just a rich british guy.

Setsuna looked down at her watch, We better get going if we wanna make that fashion show. And as they all headed down to Haruka's car, the blonde seemed to be taking a very long time getting her car keys out.



Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 2003 Cherry Blossom Fashion Show! A loud cheer of applause could be heard from inside the backstage area, where dozens of models were getting the last touchups and alterations to their designer fashions.

Remind me again, how did I get this job? Why couldn't have I been the one who got to be a photographer or business woman ... or even the janitor! Haruka protested into her communication device, making it look like she was talking to her own reflection as she stood in front of the mirror.

Because you have the longest legs? Michiru whispered, nodding and smiling to the people she was talking to. No one else could look as good as you do in that outfit!

Setsuna snickered, Stop complaining and get out here!

What kind of idiot designs leather lingerie? Haruka sighed, trying to push her breasts back into the top where they belonged - concealed - when someone called out to her to get ready to get onto the catwalk. I think my IQ just dropped 10 points ... The blonde put on a fake smile and stepped out onto the catwalk, though the lights shining down on it nearly made her go blind.

Oh my god! Setsuna whispered, nearly bursting out into laughter and dropping her camera at the sight of her teammate. Haruka had been outfitted in a dyed, soft blue leather corset with black detailing and a matching mini skirt - though perhaps mini skirt wasn't quite the word for it, it looked more like an oversize belt that just covered the essentials. She had also been wearing high strappy heels, giving her more height that she didn't need. Michiru turned around and noticed Haruka striding down the length of the platform, and had to take a drink from her glass to cover her laughter.

Would you ever consider wearing that to bed? The aqua-haired girl mumbled through her glass, grinning widely.

Not in a million years. Haruka gritted through her smile, getting ready to bust someone's face in as Setsuna went crazy with the camera, flashes going off every five seconds. Someone is going to die ... She added, when nearly the entire male portion of the audience looked stunned at her. Hey ... there's that woman from the footage ... eight o'clock ... She said through her clenched teeth, trying not to make it look like she was doing anything else but smiling.

Let's go after her. Setsuna replied, casually standing up pretending to move over to get a different angle. She took notice that the woman was whispering a few words to Chambers and started to head out.

I ain't going out in public dressed like this! The blonde retorted as she was beginning to walk back into the dressing rooms. She finally spoke normally when she was backstage, Go after her, I'll catch up!

Affirmative, let's go Michiru! Sestuna replied, as they headed out the same door the woman had already exited from. They saw her run into an abandoned building in the nearby alleyway, and quickly followed her into it. Once they bursted into the doors the two wished that they hadn't; a dozen or so rather-large men stood up from the table they were all gathered around, looking in a bit of an angered mood for being disturbed.
