Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits basket or Kiddy Grade, but Julian and Trent are mine! Pairings: There aren't any romantic pairings in this fanfic, at least not yet A/N- Occasionally, in specific lines of dialogue, there will be words in brackets. These words are simply thoughts, and are not spoken aloud.

"Ok. Tell me again where we are and what we're doing here?" Shigure whispered to Julian as they sat side by side on the couch out in the foyer outside of Chief Eclipse's office. They'd been left there just seconds ago by their 2 guides, Éclair and Lumiere, who'd said they were going to see if the Chief wanted to see them yet.

Julian eyed the woman Éclair had called Mercredi for a brief moment before she leaned closer to Shigure.

"I told you. We're in this anime called Kiddy Grade. We're currently on a planet named Aineias, which seems to look very similar to Earth. Right now we're at the Headquarters for the Galactic Organization of Trade and Tariffs, a group designed to monitor and mediate economic problems between planets. It's commonly called the GOTT. Those 2 girls we were escorted here by work for the GOTT as something known as ES Members. ES stands for Encounter of Shadow-work. ES members are like secret agents in a sense. They work in teams of 2, and are ranked based on their abilities. C class, which were what our 2 guides are ranked as, as the lowest ranking ES Members. S class is the highest, with G class of course being ranked in the middle. I have no idea who they think we are, but it would be best to just go along with them. Especially since we're stranded here until we can figure out a way to get back. You're a writer. I would think you'd be able to ad-lib your way through this. "She whispered, leaning away from him as the door opened to the office and Eclair stuck her head out.

"She wants to see you now." She said as Shigure and Julian stood and walked into the room. Eclipse stood staring out the window, her arms folded across her chest as we entered, Éclair pulling the door shut behind us. Inspector Armblast sat on the couch, a cup of tea in his hands. He smiled at Julian, his eyes scanning her from head to toe as they walked across the room. Lumiere was sitting on the other end of the couch, her back erect as she sipped a glass of what Julian supposed was grape juice, as she eyed them as well.

"You wanted to see us, Chief Eclipse?" Julian asked, keeping her face expressionless as she and Shigure stopped in the middle of the room, waiting for her to address them.

Eclipse turned from the window and glanced at us, a slight smile crossing her otherwise cool exterior.

"Ah, yes. My protégé's have finally returned. I trust everything went as expected."

Julian glanced at Shigure out of the corner of her eye, who was acting very much the cool, collected secret agent. Guess the man could act if need be as well.

"(Wonder what she's talking about) Of Course." Julian replied; figuring a brief answer would suffice.

"Excellent. I know your trip was long, so I'll be brief. "Eclipse replied as Julian nodded in appreciation. She didn't know where it was they've come from, but evidently it was far away. Hopefully far away enough that any " strange" behaviors of Shigure's or hers would be excused since they'd come from "there" Wherever that was.

"Inspector Armblast, Éclair, Lumiere. Allow me to formally introduce GOTT's Y class officers. This is Quicksilver and Titanium." Eclipse announced, her voice clipped and precise. Julian plastered a cool smile on her face, trying not at act as bewildered as she felt. It was a battle she was losing. She could tell.

"Y class? I thought S class was the highest rank at GOTT?" Éclair exclaimed in surprise as she glanced at us.

"They are. When we're not here." Shigure announced a grin on his face. Well. Someone evidently was taking to this whole situation like a fish takes to water...

"Quicksilver and Titanium have been on assignment for a long period of time. They were ES members when I was still a member. Now that they have returned, the structure of GOTT is about to change. That, however, was not my reasons for wanting to see them. Éclair, Lumiere. I have an assignment for you to complete. Quicksilver and Titanium will be accompanying you. They need to be reacquainted with the workings of the GOTT. If you'll watch the screen." Eclipse replied, gesturing at a Screen that was descending from the ceiling above her desk. An orangish, brownish, reddish planet with 3 intersecting rings appeared on the screen.

"This is the planet Alora. A backward society, it repeatedly denies the evolutionary changes of Technology. This makes it an ideal hotspot of the black market. Apparently, a shipment of Chlorophosfaphane has disappeared from the GU warehouse. "Eclipse said, pausing here as she glanced at Armblast.

"Why, don't look at me. I haven't any idea in the slightest what happened to it. I didn't even know it was missing." He protested a sly smile on his face. Now that Julian thought about it, he reminded her of Shigure slightly. That might not prove to be the best combination.

"Yes, well. We've received some information confirming that this Chlorophosfaphane has been located on Alora. Your mission is to go retrieve it. That is all." Eclipse added, clicking a button on the tiny remote she held. The screen rose back into the ceiling.

"Yes ma'am. We'll get right on it." Éclair replied a grin on her face.

"It can wait until morning. You can leave then. Here." Eclipse said, tossing a key to Julian. She caught it, a slight frown on her face.

"The key to your apartment. Éclair and Lumiere will show you where it is. Dismissed. "Eclipse replied, turning to stare out the window again. Éclair gestured to Julian and Shigure, Lumiere getting to her feet. They followed her from the room, the door soon slamming behind the 4. Armblast took another sip of his tea, before he glanced up at Eclipse.

"This Quicksilver and Titanium. They acted a bit...out of it. Wouldn't you say?" he asked as he sat his cup down on the table.

"Perhaps. "Eclipse replied, keeping her back to him.

"Yes, well, maybe it is because they've been gone for so long. Where did you say they were again?"

"I didn't say. That's classified information. "Eclipse said, her voice cool.

"I see. If I may ask, what makes those 2 worthy of such a high rating as Y class members? They must have some pretty awe inspiring abilities to have that rank." Armblast replied, eyeing her shrewdly.

"So it will seem. I suppose you'll need to find that out on your own. Now, don't you have some place to be?" Eclipse replied her voice cold.

"Of course." Armblast replied with a calculating smile as he got up and bowed mockingly in her direction, before leaving.

Eclipse turned away from the window as she heard the door shut, her expression unreadable.

"Hmm. Yes. Everyone shall see soon why they are the Y class officers. The ONLY Y class officers." Eclipse mummered to herself before she walked to her desk and sat down, pushing the intercom button on her desk.

"Mercredi. Page Dextera and Sinistra. I want to see them."

"Yes ma'am."



"I'm still confused." Shigure announced once he and Julian were alone in their apartment that after noon, Éclair and Lumiere long gone.

"Join the crowd, Shigure. Or should I say Titanium. You know, if I was a drinking woman, I'd want more than a shot of Vodka right about now. I'd want the whole bottle. Y class members. That's not even in the regular story line. But we do have pretty cool codenames, I suppose. " Julian replied with a sigh as she dropped down on the couch in the living room.

"Uh, what is this ES member stuff, anyway? I mean, if we're ES members or whatever, what do we actually do?" Shigure asked her, throwing his jacket over the back of one of the dinette chairs.

"We're like agents or something. You know. The people who protect the good guy, or whatever. You're a writer. Use your imagination. Oh, and so it doesn't freak you out, as ES Members, we're supposed to have these special powers or something. See, that's how GOTT determined what class the ES Members are. So, if we're top dog here or whatever, than I bet we've got some pretty awesome abilities. Whatever they are. "Julian replied as she propped her feet up on the end of the couch, an arm thrown over her face.

"Well, if we're here for an indefinite period of time, I'm sure we'll find out." Shigure replied after a brief silence as he glanced around the apartment. If those 2 other girls had been any indication, he and Julian must have been given a pretty upscale apartment. It was nice enough. But it wasn't home.

"...I wish I had a paper." Shigure finally said with a sigh as Julian began to laugh, though at that moment, she was feeling anything but jovial.

"When I finally see Trent, I'm gonna kill him. "She muttered as she closed her eyes.



Well, here it finally is! Sorry I took so long to update. I've been on vacation. ;) Anyway, thanks to all you who reviewed! KerriCarri, Body by Gen, Myu Higurashi, and Samika!

KerriCarri- Yeah, it is pretty cool that Trent can see them. But it makes me wonder (and I wrote this, which is pretty sad, lol), how Julian got trapped in her dvd player in the first place. Hmm. I'll have to think about that. Oh. And if you want some info on Kiddy Grade, check out their website, www.kiddygrade.tv/. Sorry, I didn't think about people not being familiar with the different anime's and manga's I'm going to end up using, I'll make sure to include a link to a good site about the particular series!

Body by Gen- Glad ya think it's interesting! I will say one thing though; it's easier to write fan fiction on Anime series you've seen all the episodes for, lol. But maybe that's just me.

My Higurashi- I thought about Inuyasha. I'm not sure yet whether they'll go there. Anyway, here's the update, see! I didn't forget about it or my expectant fans! Lol.

Samika- Yep, you guessed right! They get to work with Éclair and Lumiere! This particular episode if it exsisted, would fall somewhere between episodes 6 and 9.

Well, until next time!
