"Man, I can't believe we got stuck with being frickin babysitters for a little brat! Hell, we are the two top guys on the force!" Agent Kyo huffed, kicking a trash can out of his way. "Shut up stupid, you should be thankful Captain Shigure even let you come back...If anyone had a right to complain it would be me. I'm stuck overseeing you and doing the measly little jobs until you straighten up." Agent Yuki retorted in a very annoyed voice.
They were heading to a small home on the outskirts of New York City where they would perform their first assignment as a team. "Hey, why are we walking to this freak's house anyway? Why didn't we drive?" Kyo muttered in an unconcerned tone. "You have a right to talk...the only reason you are on this force is because you can turn into an animal...and to answer your question, we are walking because it's only three blocks to this girl's orphanage," Yuki replied, "It would be a waste to drive."
"Whatever rat boy..." The two continued walking until they reached a small townhouse that moaned with the sound of lots of small scampering footsteps, giggles, and the occasional squall throughout the house. 'Great...this is going to be hell...' Kyo thought as he and Yuki took a deep breath and stepped in the door.
They were immediately greeted by an older lady with a bonnet and a big smile. "How may I help you gentlemen?" she asked kindly. "We...uh...request the presence of uh..." Yuki quickly took a note out of his pocket, gazed at it, and returned his gaze to the woman, "Miss Tohru Honda."
"Here I am! Hope I didn't keep you all waiting! Don't worry nana; they came to take me to my job. Remember, the one I told you about?" A young, smiling voice said from behind the older woman. "Oh, yes I remember! Well you take care dear, and I'll miss your help," Nana then looked up at the CIA agents, "You all keep her safe!"
After she was done, a young, beautiful woman stepped out from behind her guardian. "Don't worry. Nana is all bark and no bite," she smiled warmly. Yuki and Kyo were both gaping at her. "I...I...I thought...you were...." Kyo stuttered. "What my idiot of a partner is trying to say it that we thought you would be a little kid."
The color in Tohru's face ceased to exist and huge eyes started to well up. "I'm sorry...did you want me to be little?" "No!" the two men yelled simultaneously. "Oh, thank you! You know, I think we will be friends, you all and I. What do you think?" A big smile incapacitated the two from any smart comment that could have been possible from them.
Thankfully though, a mob of small children surrounded Tohru before she could get an answer. "Tohru Tohru, are you leaving us? Will you ever come visit? Will you send us presents when you get to California with your job? We will miss you!"
Tohru smiled with tears welling up in her eyes. "Oh you guys..."
Kyo, Tohru, and Yuki walked down the street side by side to the headquarters of the city in silence, Yuki and Kyo each holding one small suitcase of Tohru's each. "So...I thought you all wore black suits and sunglasses and stuff..." Tohru pondered out loud, hoping for a reply. She got one.
"Do you believe all the crap you see on movies?! Jeeze!" Kyo huffed, sifting the suitcase into his other hand and running his fingers through his hair. "I'm sorry! I'm not insulting you! I think you both look very nice in jeans and t-shirts! Very modern!" Tohru cried. "You don't have to apologize to him Miss Honda. Is it ok if I call you that?" Yuki asked, smiling when she nodded enthusiastically, "You see, he got kicked off the force and recently put back in....so he's just a grump puss."
"Oh...how long have you all been...er...hired? You both look so young...even maybe my age! Oh, lemme guess!" she squealed fondly at herself for thinking up a new game, "You all are........21!" Yuki smiled and Kyo rolled his eyes.
"We're 19 dufus...wha?!" Kyo gasped in shock from the pressure on his hands. He looked down at them to see Tohru grasping them tightly. "Really?! You all are exactly my age! That's so cool!" The boy blushed faintly and shook the girl's hands off his. "It's no big deal..."
Then something formed in Tohru's little mind. "Hey, how did you get to do this then??" Both boys fidgeted at the question and walked a little faster upon seeing the entrance of the headquarters. "That's not important Miss Honda..." Yuki mumbled and the three of them stepped into the building.
"Ahhh It was an ambush!" a man screamed as he ran by, covered in blood. "What the hell is going on?" Kyo questioned him, grabbing him by his tie. "Men...in...gray...they're here for the girl!" he gasped. Upon learning this new information Yuki switched into command mode. "Ok, the captain is in his office no doubt. He'll be safe. Kyo, we need to get to him for new orders on the double. Miss Honda, come with us. You'll be safer with the captain.
The two boys un-holstered their hidden guns, grabbed Tohru by the hands, and ran to the next door across the room. When they were safely inside the deathly silent hallway, they put the girl between them and walked carefully past each open door. "I need to go help that man!" Tohru cried, "I can help him!"
"I'm sorry, but your safety if more important right now..." Yuki whispered. They reached the end of the hall where Yuki knocked on the last door in the rhythm of 'It's a Small World After All', unlocking it and letting them in where a disheveled, worried looking twenty seven year old man was waiting for them.
"It's a small world after all? That's so gay..." Kyo muttered. "Welcome back agent Kyo, and for your information, I like that song!" Shigure barked, and then turned to Tohru, "My dear girl, you must be the one and only Tohru Honda! Nice to meet you!"
He plastered his face with a goofy grin and held out his hand. Tohru giggled and took his hand shaking it timidly. "Now that formalities are over with," Shigure continued, "Yuki, you need to go check out the damage throughout the building, pronto!" The boy nodded and started for the door.
"Wait! It will be too dangerous if you go in that form!" Shigure scolded. Yuki looked back at his commanding officer with a pouty look on his face. "Please sir...not in front of her..." Kyo chuckled at the boy's despair but was quickly shut up. POOF. Shigure had pushed him into Tohru, who had instinctively reached out to catch him, turning him into a cat.
"Oh, by the way...Did they mention that have animorphing powers....er...well...not powers per say, but man do they help the government!" Shigure smiled, "Now Yuki, it's your turn!" Yuki sighed and walked to the girl. "I'm sorry..." POOF. A mouse lay in her hands.
"Oh this is wonderful! You are both so cute!" she cried with joy. "Wonderful?! Cute?! This sucks!" Kyo hissed and walked to the corner where he would most likely stay. Yuki just scampered out a little crack in the door.
"Of course you know though, if you tell anyone we will have to kill you..." Shigure warned. Tohru blushed and began waving her arms around frantically. "I would never tell! My mother always said it is wrong to gossip! Besides, you all are protecting me...I owe my life to you..."
The three people waited for several minutes until a little white mouse popped back into the room through the same hole. "There is no one left in the building sir...not even our men..." POOF both boys changed back into their original states....totally naked.
"EEEEK!" Tohru covered her eyes and went to the corner where she accidentally stumbled over Kyo, who was still crouched down, bumping her head. "Ow..."
The agents quickly reclaimed their clothes and waited for more instruction. "Kyo, Yuki, wait in the next room...I must have a word with the young lady," Shigure ordered. Once they left, the captain turned to her. "I don't want you to feel unwelcome. "Is there anything you request before we relocate you to California?" Oh, and don't worry about those two...I'll get you some other agents..." he sighed, rubbing his temples.
The girl blushed fiercely and nodded her head slightly. "I...would like to keep Yuki and Kyo as my body guards....if that's ok with you and them...That's all I ask..." Shigure smiled at his guest, "Very well my dear...if that's what you want..."
After their meeting was over, the man beckoned the two agents back into their presence. "Miss Tohru Honda has requested you all stay in her service, although, if you wish to be redeployed you may." Shigure informed, "What will it be?"
"I would be honored to stay in the service of Miss Honda," Yuki said. "......I guess I'll stay too...." Kyo muttered. Tohru smiled generously and took their hands. "Thank you so much!"
They were all briefed and left immediately for the next flight to California.
Once sure they were gone, Shigure pulled out a devise from his pocket and opened it. "Dr. Hatori, please connect me with President Akito. I have some important information..." A few moments of waiting later, the man was connected personally to the president of the United States.
"Yes sir, things are going as planned...the attack was pulled off beautifully. There is only one set back. Yuki and Kyo are still in her service at her request..." Shigure said nervously. "Ah, that is too bad...Kyo is expendable but Yuki...he was a good man. I'm sorry to have to exterminate him with the others..." Akito replied coldly.
