After her bout of crying, she felt no better than she did before she started. She loved Sousuke. How was it possible? How come she didn't realize it earlier? Okay maybe then she wasn't ready to accept it. Maybe she didn't know how much he meant to her. It was only till after he left that she realized how much she missed that crazy-military otaku.

"Sousuke, I miss you and I need you," Chidori says to herself before falling asleep.

Getting up for class she trudges around her apartment getting ready. A knock on the door stops her in her tracks. Coming up to the door she opens it then steps back in surprise. Tessa and Sousuke were standing at her doorway.

"Hello, Kaname-chan. Sorry we're here so early, but Sousuke wanted to make sure you were safe from terrorist."

Saying this Tessa looked a little embarrassed, but Sousuke remained upright and alert. He was constantly keeping an eye on everything and everyone.

"Terrorist?!? Why would a terrorist be after me? All that ended three years ago, so I don't need your protection anymore."

"Chidori, terrorist actions never end. So your protection is paramount."

At this statement Kaname flushed a little and Tessa looked annoyed. Sighing she steps back and motions for them to come in. They both do so, Sousuke immediately begins to search for terrorist threats in her apartment. Tessa goes over and sits in a chair that he had already cleared. Hands itching for her halisen she walks into her kitchen to finish her meal. Steam begins to rise from her kettle and makes a hissing noise.

"Chidori!! Get down!" Sousuke shouts as her shoves her onto the floor and shoots her tea kettle.

"You idiot!!"

Shouting this she punches Sousuke and he slams into the wall with a thump. Standing in the doorway Tessa began to giggle. Kaname stood in the middle of the kitchen surveying the ruins of her tea kettle. Sousuke lay in a slump against the wall, a big red mark on the side of his face.

"Are you okay, Chidori?"

"As well as I can be, you stupid otaku. I should have known you would do something like this."

"I was worried for your safety, Chidori."

Hearing him say that Kaname blushed, threw away the kettle, and went to change clothes. They managed to leave without anymore incidents. They make it to their first class just in time. In the class the teacher announced that they were having a pop quiz. In the middle of the quiz a pager went off and interrupted the silence of the class. Tessa stood up and walked down to speak to the teacher and then walked out. After the class ended Kaname went up to Sousuke.

"Sousuke, didn't you have to leave with Tessa?"

"No, Chidori, Captain Testarossa does not require my assistance in this matter. Because of this I can focus my attention to your safety."

Shaking her lead and lightly hitting him over the head she begins to walk away. Smiling slightly Sousuke hurries after her.

"Sousuke do you still sleep under your bed?"

"No, Chidori. Major Mao commanded me not to even though it is basic survival. She muttered about not being able to please someone if I sleep on the floor. I did not understand."

Kaname began to blush profusely, understanding perfectly what Mao meant. At that moment Kyouko came up and began to take their pictures.

"Sousuke are you doing anything today," at his response 'negative' Kyouko continued "Good then can you come on a double-date?"

"Why?"

"Kana-Chan needs a date and I already have Shinji as my date."

"Very well, mission accepted."

Upon agreement Sousuke rushed off mumbling about mission parameters, possible equipment, safety measures, and all possible terrorist actions. Kyouko slipped off after telling Kaname to be ready at six. Wh-what, go on a date with Sousuke. How will I make it through the evening. Kyouko you will pay doubly for this, Kaname thinks to herself. One that made her glad though was that Sousuke would be with her and not Tessa. And maybe just maybe she could come to terms that she was in love with that crazy otaku. But that was just a maybe.

A/N: Okay that's a wrap folks. Next chapter will be interesting and maybe just a little funny if ya get my drift. Please reviews and flames will be used to barbeque with. Ja ne.
