"Major Mao, what would be considered appropriate attire for a date? Yet still conceal any and all weaponry.

Sousuke asked the drunken major as he pulled out one uniform after another. Setting down her beer Mao looks over at him and his choice of clothes. Most were cameo and those that weren't were a solid dark color. Shaking her head, Mao stands up an motions for him to follow her.

"Now Sousuke, on a date you want a dress suit, not military uniform. Also not a lot of weaponry unless you want to be clobbered by Kaname."

"Also don't forget condoms," Kurz says and pulls out a few and tosses them to Sousuke. Mao punches Kurz into unconsciousness and opens up her closet.

"It's a good thing I thought this might happen someday, Sousuke. I went and ordered a dress suit for you," saying this she pulls out a black tux and hands it to him. Winking at him Kurz puts some condoms into the pocket of the tux. Without turning around Mao kicks him in the head.

"Now when you put that on come back here to show us what you like. Also what time is the date?"

"6 o'clock, but I will be there earlier and perform a reconnaissance of the area."

Laughing as Sousuke left the room Mao ordered Kurz to go get some flowers for Sousuke to give to Kaname. Thinking about all the things that could possibly go wrong she grinned. Then thinking about all the things that could go right such as those packets of condoms, she laughed out loud.


Tossing another outfit on her bed, she looks around and glares. What outfit should she wear? The black dress, the blue dress, or the white skirt and blue blouse? Her make-up, what should she do? Put it on lightly or put on enough you can slightly tell. Damn Kyouko for doing this to her, it wasn't fair.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

She wanted to look good and impress Sousuke. Its not everyday that you had to dress up nice for the guy you love. There she said it, she loved him, but it was so frustrating. She knew how she felt for him, but how did he feel about her?

"I better not forget Tessa is after him too. She is his superior officer."

She sits down onto her bed depressed for the moment about that. All thoughts about the date were momentarily gone from her mind.

"Tessa gets to see him everyday and she could just command him not to see me. She's in love with Sousuke also. Damn him and damn her."

A few tears slip down her cheek, the thought of never seeing Sousuke again daunted her. Shaking her head she puts those thoughts from her mind. No since worrying about what hasn't happened yet. Standing up she grabbed the black dress and heads for the shower.

Slipping the dress on she puts a little bit of make-up on. Glancing over at the clock it read 5:45. Just as she walked over to grab the remote the door bell rang. Heading over she opens the door. Mouth slightly open in shock she could only stare at Sousuke. He was in a black tux and bow tie holding a bouquet of roses. He was handsome.

"Uh here are some flowers, Chidori."


"Uh here are some flowers, Chidori."

He managed to stutter out before shutting up. A bead of sweat was already going down his face. He was a Specialist, nothing should phase him, not even Chidori in a dress that left little to imagination. No he shouldn't be thinking things like that, he was a Specialist. The long black dress with a very long slit up the leg showing so much silky skin couldn't phase him at all. He gulps and even mores beads of sweat run down his face.

"Are you okay, Sousuke?"

"Affirmative, ma'am."

The slightly tingly feeling in his cheek was all that there was to show of when Chidori smacked him. After saying 'affirmative, ma'am' she hit him for being such an otaku she said. Now the four of them sat in a restaurant waiting for their food to come out. After dinner they were supposed to go and watch a movie. Except that one slap the evening was proceeding nicely. Although he was keeping an eye out for the possible kidnapping of Chidori. He reflects on what he was told earlier.

:4 hours earlier:

"Reporting, sir," Sousuke says as he salutes Kalinin. After changing into the tux Mao told him to report to Lieutenant Kalinin.

"At ease, Sousuke. I've heard from Major Mao that you had a date. Because of this you are off-duty for the rest of the night. Dismissed."

:Present time:

The server was bringing their food back. Not knowing what to expect and the possibility of a bomb was beginning to make him nervous. If he did anything otaku-like Chidori would hit him. Her safety was more important than his pain, he began to reach for the plates.


"Kana-chan! Lets go to the bathroom."

Kyouko distracted her from keeping an eye on Sousuke. Getting up from their seats they both head for the bathroom. Kyouko stood in front of the mirror and messed with her hair and make-up.

"Kana-chan, you and Sousuke look good together."

Kaname's face turned red and she began to laugh aloud. Turning around she began to mess with her hair and put on more make-up. She was slightly flustered and any person could tell it..

"Are you okay, Kana-chan? Your laughing weird again."

"Of course I'm okay, couldn't be better. Why are you asking?"

"No reason. Okay, I'm done."

The boys sat at the table in conversation. As they got closer they could hear the topic of the conversation. Armed Slaves and every other type of military vehicle. She felt her hand twitch seeking out her halisen. Hew was going to get hit and he was going to get hit good.

"Welcome back, Chidori," Sousuke says as he stands up and pulls out the chair for her to sit in. Instantly feeling bad for almost hitting him she sits down. Getting ready to eat she notices pieces missing from her meal.

"Why does it look like someone took bites from my meal?"

"Forgive me, Chidori. I had to check you meal for and drug and/or narcotics for your safety."

"Awwww, Kana-chan, Sousuke is worried about you."

This coming from Kyouko was all that stopped her from hitting Sousuke. She 'hmphs' and begins to eat. The rest of the meal went without a hitch. They pay for the meals and begin to walk to the movies.

A/N: Okay guys that's this chapter. Reviews are welcome and wanted. Uh if you're a Tessa fan beware because in the next chapters I'll start Tessa-bashing. This will not be a lemon yet, but the rating will go up in later chapters. Sorry for there not being a whole lot of action but I want to get the plot up and the relationship between the Sousuke and Chidori setup. There will be action you just have to wait. Ja ne.
