SD27: Yeah… I'm sick as hell… but, since you've all been waiting patiently, and PK threatened me… I'm updating. So yay Ra. Enjoy! HWGA might be up later tonight- depending on how much I get done after this chapter. (Erupts in coughing fit and leaves room)

Chapter 2- Lunchtime with the ATP
While the whole "CIA" meeting was going on, a similar meeting was going on only a hop, skip, and jump away. (Really, it was about two miles and a block away… but hop-skip-and-jump sounds cooler.)
The only difference between this meeting and the CIA's was the fact that the attendees were of a …higher stature.
Literally.
A large group of men- and one girl- sat around a round table, discussing the first and most important order of business.
There was a pair of nearly identical teenagers with shocking snow-white hair and brown eyes; though one of the two had a wilder look to his hair and a crimson, sharpened glint to his eyes. This was Bakura Ryou and his counter-part, called "Yami" Bakura.
A raven-haired man with the same shade of eyes sat next to the Bakura's, combat-booted feet propped up slightly on the table-edge as he surveyed the talk going around amongst him. His name was Roy Mustang, Colonel Roy Mustang, the Flame Alchemist, if you wanted to get specific, that is.
Another pair of white-haired bishonens sat in the seats across the table from Roy; these two were brothers, and took every opportunity to insult one another. The eldest of them was named Sesshomaru, and the younger, more hot-headed and prone-to-violence one was called Inuyasha. Currently, the two were in another one of their glaring matches, and Sesshomaru was winning by far.
The seat next to the brothers held a silver-haired, golden-eyed, kitsune-in-human-form that was surveying the room with slight interest. Youko Kurama was his name, and more than likely he was judging mentally who would be the easiest to steal from as well as who'd be the likely person holding something of value. And right now, he was eyeing the shiny metal object strapped to the arm of a tall, blonde-haired and brown-eyed teenager named Joey Wheeler.
However, every time he tried to reach out when the blonde was distracted, a certain orange-haired oaf had to strike up conversation. Youko knew Kuwabara had very strong supernatural senses… but to pick up on when Youko was thinking to steal? Every single time! That had to be more than a coincidence.
But then again… that might be giving Kuwabara too much credit. He was, right now, a little occupied talking amongst the other members, a tall, brown-haired man whose hair was spiked and reminded one of a rooster, in particular. Kuwabara and the man- one Sanosuke Sagara- were bragging about fighting skills or something of the sort.
Nevertheless, despite all these men at the table, there was one young woman, who seemed to be the head of everything seeing as she was lounging in a plush, throne-like seat while the rest of them were in swirly chairs.
The young woman, whose long, dark-brown hair streaked with pink and tipped with silver was pulled into a long braid, turned deep blue eyes to each of the members of the table as she addressed her fellow "ATP" members. ATP being short for, of course, the "Army of Taller People".
The woman, one PK Dilefea, wasn't too good at coming up with group names. She would have preferred "PK's Harem of Hot Bishonens", but one- she didn't consider all of them to be hot bishonens, and two- she practically was glared to death by said ATP members.
Now, one would find it highly ironic that the ATP would be headed by Miss Dilefea as the CIA was run by her best…err, ex-best friend, SD. Since the two groups were created just to war against each other, that is.
"Okay!" PK exclaimed, standing up and drawing attention to herself even more than before, "We're getting two supreme, a pepperoni, a Hawaiian, and a cheese, right?"
Bakura slammed his fist on the table, "Ra damn it, woman! I said I wanted sausage!"
Ryou sighed as his yami continued to complain about the pizza order; he just couldn't bring him anywhere, could he?
I swear, he just starts stuff for the fun of it… he hates sausage, why would he want a pizza full of it?
"Yami, sit down!" Ryou hissed, yanking on Bakura's shirt sleeve and giving a look to the spirit, who glared at his hikari before sitting down.
PK looked at her list and shrugged, "There's sausage on the supreme; you can pick off the rest of the stuff if you don't want it, okay 'Kura-koi?"
Bakura twitched at the nickname and more than a few of the men at the table held back chuckles at the look on the spirit's face. Joey and Sanosuke just outright laughed.
"Onna…" he growled.
PK gave a big smile in Bakura's direction, "Yes, 'Kura-koi?"
The white-haired spirit was about ready to strangle the girl when Roy cleared his throat and asked when they were getting down to business as well as why they were there.
PK blinked and sat down, pulling out a laptop and projector from her Bottomless Purse.
(A/N: PK really does have one of these. It's nuts.) Setting up said projector and laptop, PK yelled for someone to shut off the lights, and as if by magic, all the lights in the room went off except for a small one over PK's chair.
The girl clicked a button on a small remote and a crudely drawn stick-figure- obviously drawn to insult the person- with blonde and red hair, fangs, and a big mouth was shown on the screen.
"This, gentlemen, is SD Zephyr. The ATP's Numero Uno Enemy-o… thingy."
She received blank stares from a good number of the group.
"…It's a drawing." Inuyasha bluntly stated.
"Doesn't look very accurate, either… unless we're to be actually encountering a cartoon stick figure, that is." added Roy.
A harsh glare from PK shut them up, "Whatever. ANYways- this despicable creature is the head of the CIA-"
Youko raised an eyebrow, "She's head of that ningen intelligence agency?"
PK sighed, "No… it's a different CIA. One- that my sources tell me- is also called the "Chibi-sized Individuals Army". Hehe… that's a funny name. Well, moving on…"
She clicked another button, and the SD stick figure was replaced with a diagram that looked somewhat like a cross between a pyramid and a family tree.
"Okay, as you can see, this is a diagram of the CIA's ranking- the members, and what position they have." PK pointed out.
"…How exactly did you acquire this information, PK-san?" Ryou asked, noting with a bit of apprehension that a good number of his friends were listed in the ranks of SD's army.
"Trade secret." was what the girl replied, eyes flickering up to the rafters, where a pure white raven with startling green eyes rested, a tape-recorder dangling on a string around his neck.
Hehe… good Rakir. I'll make sure you get to terrorize that Hell-spawn of SD's all you want for this.
The ATP looked at the screen with interest; Roy smirked upon seeing that Ed was SD's second-in-command. Oh… he'd have fun making the Fullmetal Alchemist run for his life again. It'd been a while since their fight.
Kuwabara was grinning upon seeing Hiei's name on the list, though all of us know what the outcome would be if the two started fighting. Joey had an identical look on his face after reading the name of the elder Kaiba brother… although he was listed as a non-combatant.
Ryou, of course, wasn't too happy about seeing Yuugi's, Rebecca's, nor the Kaiba brothers' up there, though Bakura thought much differently. Especially when he realized that Yuugi's yami, the Pharaoh no baka, wouldn't be there.
I wonder if I could still win the Millennium Puzzle by beating him in this little game… it's not a duel, but would it still count? He thought, gaze flickering to the rest of the names on the screen, none of which seemed any familiar to him.
Sanosuke seemed a little apprehensive at seeing the names of both Kenshin and Misao on there… until he realized that Kenshin wouldn't fight unless he was provoked- which meant that he was safe unless he wanted a death wish.
PK watched her guys look over the screen and mutter to themselves, or flash grins at the names set before them. She already had a few plans for the CIA, but they still needed some bugs worked out of them, that's where her guys came in. SD would really regret getting her angry… that she would.
A faint ringing sound was heard in the distance and both PK and Joey sprang towards the door.
"Pizza's here!"
Too bad no one noticed that they had a little spy in their midst… PK wasn't the only one who had a pet who could sneak in unnoticed, after all…
A/N: I know, I know- short chapter. But this is gonna be a short story; not more than 5 chapters at most. THIS one we will finish really soon. Hopefully. I have to write a novel for Creative Writing class, and it's been sucking a lot of my inspiration out of me.
And due to stupid-ass new policy, we can't reply to you guys. BUT THANKS SOOOOO MUCH FOR THE REVIEWS ANYWAY! PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING!
Ja ne, minna-san!
