Sousuke's Choice

Chapter 2

Far away from the campus and Kaname, Tessa, and Sousuke's drama, in the steamy jungles of Vietnam, a stealthy figure bent over a rotting map. Dark hair fell over its face, obscuring its features. A tan, baggy shirt hid any specific anatomical curves that might make it female or male. Pale eyes glistened.

"Yes, that is his weakness: the girls."

Back at the campus, Kaname was sitting on her bed brushing her hair before bed. She braided it deftly, the blue locks intertwining to form a shining plait. After washing her face with water and brushing her teeth, the tall girl scrambled into bed. Her dreams were fraught with images of Sousuke and Tessa.

Sousuke, covered in black facepaint ((and little else says shukuchi, my best friend)), climbed onto a railing. His dark eyes franticly looked from side to side. He frowned and bit his lip. A terrified scream penetrated the otherwise still air of the dock. He didn't jump at the sound but his frown deepened.

"Tessa.." He murmured. Running towards the cargo strewn across the pier, he stopped at a dark box. Muttering and pants were heard from inside the box.

"Tessa!!" He whispered. A moan came from the box.

"S-sousuke!" A stuttering voice wafted out, "Is that you?"

"Yes...hold on Miss Tessa." He quickly opened the box by means of a small knife. He pulled her out of the box and her legs gave way. She clasped on to him and he held onto her tightly.

"Oh, Sousuke!" She murmured. He pulled her closer and...

Kaname woke, adrenaline rushing through her veins. She was red and sweating with anger.

She fumbled with her alarm clock and as she tried to focus on the blinking red numbers, it went off, the piercing BEEP BEEP echoing in her head.

"Oh!" she cried and tossed it onto the floor, vaguely stomping at it in an attempt to muffle the sound. It stopped and apparently she had kicked its 'off' button. Groaning and clutching her head because of the headache the clock had caused, Kaname got up and fumbled with her clothes. Soon after, she was dressed, cleaned, and ready to go.She had combed her hair but the waves from the braid still stayed.

FIRST PERIOD: PHILOSOPHY

Kaname sat down in her chair and nearly jumped to find a certain sergeant (doesn't he ever get promoted?) sitting in the chair in front of her. The remnants of her dream caused her to blush as she stared at the back of his head. Dark brown head.

"Eep!" she squeaked. Gotta concentrate on something else!!! She thought.

"Miss Kaname!! Is everything okay?" He was squatting on the desk in front pistol out and ready. Kaname twitched. Its hard to not think about the idiot when he's right here in front of me...She thought.

"Get off there, baka!! Sousuke!!!!" She screeched giving him a shove. With a muffled cry he fell off the desk and onto several chairs. An ominous rip made Kaname shudder and look at him.

His shirt had torn down the middle exposing his finely chiseled muscles. He sat up rubbed his head, mussing up his hair.

"Miss Kaname?" He squinted up at her. Kaname was doing everything to keep the drool in her mouth. Xiera, her feisty red-haired roommate (she dyed her hair!) nudged Kaname as she passed. Kaname caught off guard, tripped over her desk, went flying over the desk and landed...

on Sousuke. A few buttons on her blouse had come undone as she turned back to yell at Xiera, revealing, well, some parts that she normally wouldn't want people to see. She turned back to slap Sosuke with her treasured halisen when she caught his gaze. He was blushing quite crimson.

His shaking hands reached forward and buttoned it back up. She blushed in return, looking at his hands. They were large hands with fine small scars from shrapnel and other such things. They were warm on her goosebumped skin.

"T-thanks." She murmured and touched his arm. Her blue eyes were large and pooled with sadness and what 'might-have-been.' He nodded and like a gentleman, helped her up.

He untied his sweater from around his waist and put it on, covering the fine specimen of manhood that was his chest. (hehe) Kaname quickly recovered and looked him in the eyes for a split second. She blinked and looked back down.

"Hey Sousuke!" A high-pitched girl voice cried out, with a slight shake to it. Tessa. Obviously she had seen his-their encounter.

She pranced up, a off-the shoulder dark top on and jeans. Her pale silvery hair was bound up into two French buns (those are the spiky messy buns). She smiled at Sousuke and Kaname.

"Hey, you two! Class is about to start. Lets get ready." She exclaimed with a false cheeriness.

So they took out their books and pens and whatever paraphernalia they needed. Tessa and Sousuke sat directly in front of Kaname. Sosuke had one arm around Tessa which made Kaname's heart pang. She remembered that arm pulling her close. Warm breath on her neck...

Kaname shook her head, in a desperate attempt to clear the thoughts from her head.

Mustn't think about that! She mentally chided her self.

Back to the Jungle...

A hoarse voice murmured.

"Very well. Good plan. Execute it by 012:00 today. I expect our 'guests' to arrive by 17:00. I will be in contact by the radio."

SEVERAL HOURS LATER IN HISTORY:

Kaname groaned and crossed out the spelling mistake on her notes. For the fifth time during this class she had spelled Sudan as Sousuke. She suddenly realized nature's call to use the restroom.

Suppressing her need until the bell rang, when it finally did ring, two minutes later, she strode through the door only to find Tessa there too.

"Hi." She murmured, stiffly and wandered into a stall. After sufficiently using the restroom, she stepped out to find Tessa gone. Kaname stepped to a sink and began washing her hands.

Suddenly, without warning, her heart began thudding in her chest. Her brain hurt dreadfully and voice screamed inside her head. "HELP"

Two dark hands clasped around her mouth.

Haha/ That is where I'll leave off....
