Kaname: Sosuke's Wife?
Chapter 1: Chikana!
Kaname sat on her bed, thinking. She heard the door click and the tell tale "Kana!!" of her roommate.
"'Ello Xiera!!" Kaname jumped up and wrapped her arms around the taller girl. Xiera shrugged off Kaname's arms and grinned, foolishly.
"Yup, I'm back."
"So how was the Tour de la basketball??" Kaname fumbled over the strange sounding foreign words.
"That would be Tour du Basketball, hon. At least I think. Not quite sure. I bombed my French mid-term." Xie responded.
"Ok miss Smarty Pants." Kaname teased slapping herself in the head with her hand. A shaft of lamplight caught her silver ring and expanded the mini light-glitter that the ring put out. Flashes of color sparkled all over the room.
"Kana...."
"Eh?" Kaname looked up, oblivious to the beacon of light on her finger.
"Y-your ring...its on your left hand...on your /ring/ finger."
"Oh!" Kaname blushed, scarlet diffusing through her cheeks, "Sosuke gave it to me. It's a promise ring. It means he will be faithful 'till we are old enough to marry."
"Well, you sure sound as if it's nothing!"
"Whatever...anyway! How were the games?"
"We played well, if that's what you mean. We lost though."
"You didn't just play well, you played very well." A deep, warm voice sounded from the door. A strange sound to Kaname. Very familiar.
"SOSUKE!" Kaname tackled the boy in the doorway. He was tall and muscular. His dark hair was ruffled in a perpetual bedhead look. His eyes sparkled at the sight of his girlfriend. "Chidori..." He murmured. Kaname raised an eyebrow.
"Call me Kaname, or Kana if you can. We are going out you know." She said looking at him with a smile on her face.
"Very well, Chi-Kana." Xie looked at Kaname with upraised brows.
"Chikana, eh? I like it." Kaname took a step back. The look on her face was definitely a "Kodak Moment." Her rich blue hair spread around her shoulders and her deep violet (her eyes are violet right?) eyes widened in maidenly confusion. She tilted her head slightly and regarded Xie with a stunning blush spreading over her cheeks. Her hand fluttered at her throat.
"Chikana?" Her lips pursed together and the blush deepened. Xiera looked closer and saw she was not confused, merely trying to suppress a laugh.
"Ch-chikana?" She stuttered again, then burst out laughing, in a full throated roar.
"I LOVE IT!! Its sooooo cute. I always wanted a cute nickname from my boyfriend." Sosuke stood in the midst of this looking very confused. Girls were soo confusing and he might as well just look as if he understood although he sure as heck didn't. At this moment a beep sounded in his ear.
"erm..Chikana-chan?" He asked trying to use the nickname properly.
"Yeah? What is it Sosuke?" Kaname looked up from tickling Xiera.
"I gotta go the Men's room.I'll be right back."
"Sure.." Kaname replied, hesitantly, "You don't need my permission to heed nature's call or anything Sosuke..."
"Yes, Chidori...erm..Chikana-chan." Sosuke rushed out and ran to the elevator. He stepped in and after making sure no one was around, pulled out a small device that looked like a compact. He opened it and sent an invisible ray of light into the elevator's mechanisms. The elevator stopped ascending, allowing him a brief moment to return the call he received on his Codec radio.
"Yes, Captain?"
"Sergeant Sagara? We have an emergency situation, here. We require your assistance. Be prepared to leave for the sub at 06:00 hours (that's 6 in the morning for all you civilians)."
"But Captain..I just ...Yes, Captain. I will be there." Click
"What??? You have to leave again??" "Yes, Kaname."
"But, you just got back." Kaname pouted, her eyes swimming with tears. It wasn't fair she had to go through this. It just wasn't right.
"Captain's orders." Sosuke tried to smile. That was the last straw for Kaname. Note to Sosuke: never mention Tessa when Kaname is on the point of breaking down.
"Well, then marry the captain, Sagara." Kaname threw the ring at his feet. Sosuke looked up at her, for once, hurt and pain showing through. All the times she yelled at him, all the times she threw things at him, he never complained. He would just bow his head and quietly say, "Yes, Chidori" or "I'll do my best, Chidori." This time was different. This time the years of pain and angry words showed on his face. His facial features were impassive except for his eyes. They were drowning in fear and shock. They seemed glassy, like mirrors, for a moment. Then, he recovered his stiffness and bowed.
"Very well, Miss Chidori." When he bowed, something shining fell to the ground. Only after he left did Kaname examine the spot where she was positive the thing fell. A small wet mark was all she could find. The evidence of a teardrop.
"Damn him.."She cried. "I hate the filthy jerk. Four times in the past six months he's had to leave. Y'know something? I have been going out with him for six months and I have only seen him two of those months..." Xiera listened, comforting her, all the while knowing something just wasn't right.
At the sub, the next morning:
"Sergeant Sagara. Your mission is to take out an enemy platoon (10-15 men, Army term) in Vietnam. They are a terrorist group and armed. We will drop you off by the secret Mithril base, Akagi (Red castle, Japanese, name of a Jap warship in WWII), so weapons OSP (on-site procurement, I.E they give him the metal, he does the grunt work). You will work alone. Sergeants Mao and Weber are on vacation in the Caribbean" Tessa briefed Sosuke. She noticed his hands were shaking.
"Why not yank them out of their little soiree then Captain. I just got back from hell, and I sure don't want to go back." Tessa took a step back. This was most unlike the stiff, restrained sergeant she knew.
"Or was this one of your plans? Working your best soldier to death? My girlfriend broke off our relationship not to mention an engagement because you can't drag two drunken soldiers out of their bar." Sosuke panted, vehemently. Who gives a crap anymore. What if he died? Would anyone care. Hell no.
"Sosuke..."
"My name is Sergeant Sagara, Captain." He cut her off. Sosuke took a step forward and grabbed her arm. He waited for the bite of a bullet from the security guards. There came none. Tessa had ordered the guards to wait outside because she was hoping for a good-bye kiss. Sosuke pulled her close and tilted her face up to his.
"I know how you feel about me, Captain." This was just as Tessa had planned it. Now she closed her eyes, waiting for the kiss.
"But I do not love you." He released her and she fell to the floor.
"Sergeant Sosuke Sagara. You are hereby released from Mithril for a consecutive period of 30 days. Take your leave. Marry Kaname and get the fuck out of my LIFE!!!" Tessa yelled. It was her turn to surprise Sosuke and come out of her fragile façade. She was not to be toyed with.
DING DONG
Kaname opened the door and saw three roses on her doorstep. She looked confused and startled but stepped out side to pick them up. When she turned to step back inside, she almost fainted. Roses were everywhere. Hundreds of them, all red. They spelled out,
"Forgive me."
TO READERS: As a mention, Tessa is supposed to be out of character..ok?
