Rescue: Save Tessa?

Chapter Unknown (I'll explain why in the Afterward)

Kaname straightened her shoulders, and remembered her pledge. She walked over and bent down over Tessa. There was a stab wound in her back and it was bleeding heavily.

Getting an evil idea, Kaname ripped a large piece from her shirt (hahahaha) and helped Kurtz bind the wound. Her shirt was now resembling some kind of bikini that had apparently recently gone through a paper shredder. The Mithril crew jumped into action, resetting the submarine on its correct course, sending their bearings to HQ and alerting them of the situation at hand. They cleaned up the blood and took Yatori to the Medical Room where she was treated for two gunshot wounds to her left breast, a punctured lung, a collapsed lung and minor abrasions. Yes, she was still alive. Sousuke sat back, running his fingers through his hair. A lot had happened since he had made up with Kaname. It looked, however, that their relationship was over. Choosing Tessa over Kaname when her life was at stake wasn't the smartest thing to do when their relationship was already on the edge of a knife.

He looked at Kaname. Her shirt was ripped and she looked concentrated on helping Tessa recover. She was beautiful in her own clumsy, awkward sort of way and her smile was just enrapturing. But she was very ignorant and uncareful. She would not make a good partner for a Mithril agent.

Tessa, on the other hand, was different. She sat up, wincing, as Kurt poured antiseptic on her wounds. She caught his glance and stuck out her small chin, a sign of her defiance and she did not wince any more. She had been so brave. She was smart, militaristic, and would understand his long absences. She would be the perfect partner.

Still, Kaname was his charge and she had been through a lot with him. She obviously liked him. They both did. Sosuke could feel the beginnings of a headache start at the base of his neck and creep up toward his temples in tendrils of pain. Beginnings...yes..that is what they needed.

Over the course of the next school year, he would evaluate both girls and then...and then, make his decision.

Kaname looked back at him and smiled, a worn smile. She thought about her decision to win him back and she nodded to herself. Yes, she would get him back.

Tessa mentally blocked out the pain and looked at Sosuke. He had chosen her, just her over Kaname. She grinned despite the pain. This was good.

"The Captain will be okay. She will just have to spend a while recuperating." The doctor nodded to Sosuke then turned to Tessa, "Madam Captain. Orders came in from HQ. You are to take this next year off and go to school as a transfer student again."

"The-the whole year??" Tessa stammered, despite her efforts to look nonchalant about the searing pain. The doctor nodded.

"This is gonna be interesting." Kurtz chimed in. The Mithril crew nodded. Tessa, Sosuke, Kaname, and school along with their complicated romances? Altogether at once? For a whole year? That was a recipe for disaster.

END!
