"MOU!" A muffled Kaoru whined under the pillow that was smothering her. It was raining buckets outside as she laid sprawled on her living room couch watch her life slip slowly away from her with the incessant ticking of the clock. Kaoru had determined six ticks ago that she was bored out of her skull. Sometimes she just wanted for something to happen. Was it a little too much to ask for some excitement? So far it was.
The only things that ever were a tinsy bit exciting always came with Captain Saitou. He was an old war buddy of her father's and he would sometimes use her expertise for helping crack cases. Kaoru was a very talented girl after all. You would be too if your father was one of the top spies in Japan. He had died when Kaoru was thirteen and it hit the young girl hard leaving her to care for her little brother, which was eight at the time. Her mother was long since dead after a misfortunate car accident. But before her father could die he taught her many things. Languages, speed reading, sight memorization, how to control you heart rate and of course the family kendo style the Kamiya Kasshin Ryu. Her and her brother now ran the family dojo while juggling part time jobs to pay for the bills and school even though neither had trouble in it. But, Kaoru was a free spirit, just like her mother and she craved adventure, travel and action. She was twenty years old and was allowed to do none of it, she begged Saitou to take her on as his assistant or something, but to no avail, Saitou was the closest thing to a father she had and he felt entitled to keep her safe.
She sighed miserably and dropped the issue knowing that she was destined for this subdued life of peace and tranquility.
"Dammit Yahiko, just bloody call!" She said not wanting to wait for him to call for her to pick him up. She glared at the phone focusing all her mind power onto it willing for it to ring, but alas no luck. Kaoru flopped back down and found her head going hazy that was a sign of sleep creeping upon you. Soon she was sleeping calmly.
~*~*~
An insistent sound was banging of her ears as Kaoru's eyes slowly fluttered. Her first action was to check the time
"SHIT! It's ten!!!" Kaoru had been asleep for four hours. Then she finally registered the sound that jostled her from enjoyable slumber. THE PHONE!
"OH DAMN YAHIKO!" She said making a mad dash for the receiver and nabbed it in triumph flashing a victory sign.
"Moshi Moshi,"
"Koban wa Tanuki-san ." Kaoru's face faulted as she realized she had made all that effort to catch the phone when it was only the extraordinarily infuriating Saitou Hajime and call her by her pet name too!
"Look Saitou, I have to keep the line free so my brother can call for a ride. So just go away." She snarled wanting to keep this conversation as short as possible.
" But on the contrary Raccoon girl, Yahiko is staying at Yutarou's tonight." Kaoru was dumb struck,
"But how did you-"
"You slept through his call so he called me. I was surprised that I even got through with your snoring." Kaoru's face went red with anger, she couldn't wait to get her hands on him!
" What the hell is that you want? Hmm translate for some drunken foreigner or something? We all know how much you love to make me do that!" She hissed in upset and frustration, but it was true. 4 out of 5 it was some gurgling tourist idiot that couldn't hold his sake and harassed some people.
"I would never dream of it! Besides we haven't had any reports of drunk gaijins tonight."
Kaoru frowned in distaste. The man could be such a prick sometimes, but it was still the only parental figure she had. Sometimes she couldn't believe Tokio married him.
" * Sigh * So get on with it I haven't got all night."
"I have some people I want you to meet." Saitou replied coolly, this peeked Kaoru's interest
" And who might these people be?"
"Don't be a baka Raccoon girl. Just come down to the station." And with that he hung up.
"Great!" muttered an irritated Kaoru as she grabbed her keys and headed for the door.
~*~*~*~*~
"GREAT!" cried Dr.Takani Megumi as she looked at the poor man whose head was now the size of a beach ball. Then she turned to get ready to chew out the quaking new girl who had given him the shot.
"It was a bloody flu shot!" She started, but decided not to after looking at the pure fear on her face and remembering her first day, "*Sigh* Next time please have the common knowledge to look at the chart." The girl blinked a few times shocked at not getting a severe tongue lashing from the infamous Megumi who was known for her cynical wit.
"Go!" Megumi said in irritation, " Stupid new kids. Don't know how to do jack squat ," Then she looked back at balloon man and reassured him, "Don't worry a Nurse will be here soon to deal with the swelling ."
Megumi quickly trotted out of the room pinching her sinuses with her thumb and for finger. Sometimes she wished she would of stayed in computers, but as soon as that thought came up she dismissed it remember of how close she was to the cutting block when in that business. Beside she did like helping people and giving back to the society she did wrong to. Then she caught a glimpse of that all too familiar blue shirt and a smoldering cigarette out side the Hospital doors. Megumi knew in instant it was Saitou Hajime the asshole who she owed everything too.
Megumi had always had quite a knack for computers. It was a natural talent she guessed, because the day her brother got the thing she knew exactly what to do with it. She even helped him set it up and program it. Her whole family was amazed at her skills with the modern piece of technology after all she was only eight.
But some gifts can become curses. The Takani's were a very well known family of doctors and Megumi was the next expected to be the next M.D with her sparkling wit and stunning intelligence, but this was not exactly what the seventeen year old was concerned with. Long since were the days of playful amusement with the simplicities of program and coding on the computer, a women of her natural skills needed a challenge and so this is how she fell into the world of cyber hacking. She took on the identity of "Fox" and soon she became addicted to the lifestyle. Unfortunately Fox's talents didn't go on noticed, a man named Kanryuu found her useful and offered her a job. But Kanryuu wasn't a man you wanted to go into business with, he was a double crossing gangster who didn't take being told no too well. Megumi was soon kidnapped by the madman and had to work at the threat of getting killed. But luckily this job was to be short lived because there were inside men working for Kanryuu. And it was his bodyguards.
Soon the information trickled to Kanryuu about the betrayal and he was less than pleased, he managed to kill four out of the five cops in disguise but not before the SWAT team broke in with a Saitou leading them.
Saitou agreed to keep her identity as the infamous hacker a secret because of the high status her family held and that it could ruin her life. But nothing in life is for free and Saitou told her that one-day he would call on her for a favor.
And Today was that day.

Phew Sorry that I didn't spend more time on Megumi and Kaoru but Misao is probably my favorite and I hate flash backs! I can't do them and I don't like writing them so there won't be many flash back scenes in this thing.
