Standard disclaimer applies"So, from what I gather, you three practice late at night, in order to impress me and let you go on missions."
"Um..."
"Then have the guts to yell at me on the phone."
"Well..."
"Do you have any idea..."
"Shishou, we're sorry!"
"What a grand idea this is?"
The three girls almost fell over. "It is?" Misao squeaked.
"Perhaps..." Hiko took a swig of sake and eyed Megumi. "Takani, you are a researcher, so I assume you know the dangerous people out there. Baka deshi, you're headstrong, so I suppose you never met people just a clever as you." He began making his two fingers walk across the desk. "And Makamachi, you are quick. I bet you never met people who are calculating and just one step ahead of you." He closed his eyes. "No, you three don't know what it's like on the other side of those office doors." Megumi balled her fist, as did the other two, fuming that this man was intentionally insulting them.
Hiko opened one eye and smirked. "Would you like to see the team that counterparts you?"
Kaoru tried to contain her temper. "Counterparts?"
"Baka deshi," Hiko spoke into the intercom, "You and your men get over here now." He put his fingers together and smiled. Kaoru's eyes widened slightly at the word 'baka deshi'. He never called anyone that but her. Who was this guy? The three girls in return felt squeamish.
About three minutes later, the door opened to reveal the so called 'counterparts'. "Shishou?"
"Get in and close the door." He did so without a word. "Kenshin, these three girls want actions as they put it. Baka deshi, Makamachi, and Takani, meet my first baka deshi, Shinomori, and rooster head." He introduced not really paying attention waving a finger around. The six young adults rolled their eyes.
The brunette coughed, "its Sagara..."
"Did I say you could interrupt?"
The girls glued their eyes to the floor as silence crept into the room.
Hiko narrowed his eyes. "I do not need you telling me how to call you, rooster head."
"Now, I'm sure you six will figure out who is whose counterpart, but I have a mission for the six of you. And I'm sure," he went to pull a folder from his desk, "you will get along."
"Yes sir." They all said in unison.
"Good, now Shishio is at it again, he is planning a dinner party by the end of this week. He is hosting his new cigarette company, which is being run by other drug dealers, ten to be exact. I need you to stop him at all costs. Report in the following Monday. Dismissed."
"You can't honestly-"
"I SAID dismissed, Takani." The six left the room silently.
"My goodness, that man is intolerable!" Megumi hissed to Kaoru.
"I know, but at least we got ourselves a mission!"
"I can't believe it, this is the chance we've been waiting for!" Misao began hopping up and down on one foot. "But...what about them." The three turned around to see their counterparts watching them with smirks on their faces. Well, save the man with the long bangs.
The man Hiko called 'rooster head' spoke up. "I'm Sanosuke but my friends call me Sano, this is Kenshin, and ice dude over there is Aoshi." The brunette said pointing a thumb to his left.
"Well, Sanosuke, I'm Megumi--"
"Sanosuke is so formal, call me Sa--"
"I," she paused to cross her arms over her chest, "will acknowledge you as Sanosuke, thank you." Sano put his hands up defensively and chuckled. "I'm Megumi, this is Misao and Kaoru." All four muttered their own greeting.
"So Kaoru-dono, what do you ladies do?" Kenshin asked.
"Well... I am just the leader... but I really do swordsman ship."
Misao coughed, "And poisoning."
"Shut up!" The girl began poking Misao as she laughed and bent easily out of her way.
"I'm a researcher and doctor, but I'm really good with bombs." Megumi said flipping her hair.
Misao jumped over Kaoru and walked up to the group of men. "I'm a spy, but I love practicing kunai and kempo!"
Aoshi snorted which made Misao glare at him.
Kenshin elbowed him, and grinned at Kaoru. "Well, it does seem we have counter parts! You see, I too am skilled in swordsman ship."
"I'm more into the brawl, if you know what I mean." Sano said cracking his knuckles.
"..."
Kenshin pointed at Aoshi. "Aoshi here is also a spy, he uses Kodachis and kempo. He doesn't talk much. Actually he doesn't do much of the socializing that he doesn't." The redhead smiled. Aoshi swiftly tripped him with his foot as the three girls giggled at the now oroing man.
Misao smiled up at Aoshi. "Well, I'm almost certain you're my counterpart, as Himura's is Kaoru, and Megumi's is Sano over there." He just peered down at the small frame before him nodding. "Well, I guess we'll do research hua girls? Lets go."
"Wait." Aoshi pulled on her arm surprising everyone in the room. "We will assist you."
"We?" Aoshi shot a death glare at Sano who just gulped. "I mean, of course of course!"
Megumi sighed, "Well if you'll be helping, follow me to the computer room...also known as my sanctuary." She laughed at her joke, pulling Sano by the collar towards the stairs. "But if you touch anything, boom you go!"
"Hey hey, who said I'd come with you?!"
"I did, so be quiet." Megumi dragged him up the stairs.
"Yeah, I'll go scouting the factory, don't slow me down Aoshi!" Misao disappeared from sight; not a second later so did Aoshi.
Kaoru shuffled her feet. "Er... well, I usually help Megumi or Misao, but they seem to have help already."
"Ah, well, you did say you practiced swordsman ship. Part of the mission will be penetrating a bunch of guards. Perhaps we should go to the gym that we should." With that they left for training.
