AN: Hi everyone. I hope you have been enjoying the read so far. I am trying not to have the updates too far apart but with several ongoing projects, it is easy to get a little split up. Anyways, here is the next chapter so please enjoy. Once agan, I do not own Full Metal Panic nor it's Characters.
"Kaname I am sorry for having done this to you, I didn't mean t-"
"Sousuke, just shut up already, baka" While she normally would have been overjoyed over finally getting this military maniac to talk, she could only handle so much otaku drivel. She pulled his face up closer to hers and puckered her lips, diving into the gentleness this warrior hid. He immediately responded to her kiss with passion that caused her to moan into his tough, something Sousuke genuinely liked.
His hand slowly began to slip down the spaghetti slaps that held her dress up, as she removed the blood stained shirt he was wearing. Her dress remained only by clinging to her supple chest, just a tug away from falling down to her waist.
Sousuke parted from her thirsty lips and moved down to her neck and found a spot she particularly enjoyed. This information was quickly stored and labeled it 'critical' in his mind. This was already a rather successful recon mission. As her moans increased, he fell to the floor when a knock on the door was heard and Kaname sprang to her feet, pulling the straps back over her bare shoulders.
She hurried to the door and then looked back to tell Sousuke to get out of sight but he was already thinking several steps ahead. She opened the door just a crack to see who was outside, to see who was going to fall victim to her latest string of verbal bashings for ruining her most intimate moment with Sousuke yet. She was a bit surprised to see a courier tip his hat and nod towards the young beauty.
"Ms. Kaname Chidori?"
"Yes…?"
He held out a package along with a clipboard with a form to sign. Kaname opened the door all the way and accepted the package, signed the form, and left the courier no tip having ruined the mood. She slammed the door into the confused messenger's face and returned to the sofa looking around for Sousuke but he remained hidden. She was about to call out for him when she realized the shower was on with his gun bag was just outside the bathroom door now. Naughty thoughts flashed through her mind but were quickly dismissed. There would be time for that later.
She sat down on the sofa and crossed her legs wondering who exactly she was acting so dignified for. Kaname tore the upper contents of the package apart and reached for the documents held within. She read the first page with a newfound interest.
"The final will and testament of Sgt. Major. Sousuke Sagara." That statement alone caused her to chuckle, but as she continued reading, the papers slipped from her hands and scattered over the floor. A look of utter shock was plastered upon her face.
The Sgt. Major was not a poor man by any means having worked for a well funded mercenary organization with almost no expenses. As it turns out the young man also had a knack for investing due to his faith in his instincts and proper intelligence. He had left everything to her, absolutely everything. The staggering amount of bank accounts along with the numerous zeros each one had would certainly ease anyone's doubts as to their financial future. Kaname now found herself as one of the richest women in the city. Curious as to something more, she searched through the scattered papers to find one in particular, the one with his signature on it. The file was dated like she hoped.
Sousuke had signed the will when they were still in high school just before the Hong Kong incident. How long had he loved her so much? It seems that even after his death Sousuke Sagara would continue to provide for Kaname, a thought which truly touched her heart.
She was gazing so intently upon the documents she never noticed the soldier step out of the bathroom and approach her from behind wearing only his cargo pants as he wrapped his well toned arms around her. "Kaname, what are you looking at…oh"
She turned around and kissed him before finding comfort in his bare chest, the tears streaking down her eyes meeting his abdomen and followed it the rest of the way down. She slowly beat against his chest lightly with her fists, a flurry of emotions besieged her.
"Stupid sniffle otaku jerk. sniffle why do you have to keep doing these things to make me fall deeper in love with you." She gasped and looked up at Sousuke. Had she really said that? Yes, she had. She almost lost Sousuke again, taking him for granted, thinking he was as invincible as he seamed.
Her glance was not met with the usual emotionless steel grey eyes. Now her affection was returned with eyes full of concern, patience, and most importantly love. It was a look he never showed anyone else. A look reserved for Kaname. He leaned down and placed a kiss upon her forehead, his lips slightly moistened by the shower. He continued to hold her tightly, offering just as much assurance to himself as he did to her that this was real, they really were together.
"I needed to know you would have been taken care of in case my time finally caught up with me. " Sousuke had unusual success in his missions; the numbers were bound to catch up to him sooner or later.
"I told you Kaname, I would always come back to you, one way or another. Because I…um…uhh..." Kaname decided Sousuke was rather attractive when he stuttered, at least while holding her.
"I uhh...Think I'm…I mean I know I'm…I...Uhhh" If she didn't take charge, this could go on for quite a while. She knew what Sousuke truly felt in his heart, he just needed help expressing his emotions. Despite all the growth he had all these years, he remained a slave to his tragic past.
"Soldier, just kiss me. That's an order!"
On instinct the Sgt. Major complied and thus clearly established the chain of command without his knowledge. Their passions combined with the kiss that was full of emotions led by love though they would get no farther that day since the two now had all the time in the world.
Or so she thought. It would not be so easy to escape from such an organization, issues still needed to be dealt with. But that would be for tomorrow. Let the next day bring what it may. For now, for this one moment, those two finally found each other, after searching for so long.

Sousuke would be the first to wake ensnared by his loves arms. The moonlight that showered down now accentuated her creamy skin and natural beauty. She lay on top of him on the sofa with only a shawl to cover them both, forcing them to find warmth within each other. Not wanting to risk waking her up he thought back to the events of the day, remembering that this was what he now wanted out of life.
The rest of the day had been well spent talking, as openly as a man like Sousuke could. They talked of the future, what he would do next, and more importantly, how a dead man could continue on in society. He would have to deal with these issues sooner rather than later but that could wait till morning. He glanced out the window and determined it was still rather early in the evening, explaining his hunger.
His Kaname slept like a baby in his arms, almost cooing with each passing breath. He placed a little kiss on her nose and shifted to see if he could slip out from her and surprise her with dinner when she woke. The guilt of all he had put her through now weighed down heavily upon him and it was best to take the offensive before punishment followed. However his actions were met with much resistance for with each attempt, Kaname only gave a disturbed murmur and snuggled tighter onto Sousuke. Deciding to abort the mission wouldn't be so bad if it meant staying near her so much longer.
Nevertheless his attempts were not without consequences. Her eyes fluttered open, almost batting them in a seductive manner as she stirred from her much needed rest to find Sousuke analyzing her form.
"Better take good notes soldier. There will be a test later." Her wit never left her
"Uhh." How she loved that word, but her temper was soon finding its place within her again.
"Sousuke!" He was by no means a quick learner when it came to things related to Kaname, but after a while you pick up a trick or two.
"Yes Mam!" He would have saluted where his arms not prevented by her body.
She rolled off the bed and stretched while purring like a kitten, both meant for Sousuke's enjoyment. "That will be for extra-credit" Sousuke was never so fond of school before.
"I don't suppose you will be able to go out for a while?" His nod confirmed the answer she already knew.
"Guess I'll just have to make us something both to eat. Stay here and rest. We wouldn't want you all exhausted before the final exam now would we?" A wicked smile grew on her face. 'That should keep him dumfounded long enough'
She neglected the fact that Sousuke prided himself on being able to adapt though the one into civilization was a slow process.
"Then would it not be proper for me to take a few practice exams? I'm sure I could find several versions to practice with to do well on the final. It is your commendable abilities as a student that has provided me with such insight." His voice retained its usual calmness to match the stone cold look that had returned.
Kaname held back both her laugh and her halisen at the Sgt. Major who seemed to be feeling much better. "Keep this up and the Final Exam will turn into a self-graded quiz, Baka" No one outdoes Kaname Chidori in her arena.
She turned around on her feet and left to go prepare a meal for them both, just after catching the look of shock left upon his face. 'Never fight on the enemy's term Sousuke, You of all people should know that.' She stopped halfway to the kitchen. 'Did I really just think that? That nut is starting to rub off on me. But now there won't be anymore of that. It'll just be the two of us living a happy normal…..scratch that, no such thing as normal with soldier boy here.'
She adorned a white apron to wear over her wrinkled dress, having just slept in it. Her hair almost blended into the color leaving one unsure and curious where the hair stopped and the dress began. She did something she hadn't done in over a week's time, smile while she cooked. There is no sight more attractive than a woman cooking for the ones she loves. She loved catering to Sousuke once he finally accepted that food had other purposes besides providing adequate nutrients. She stole a smile from a Cheshire cat as she thought to add aphrodisiac to the list of benefits of food.
Whenever he was gone on missions she usually just ate MREs, protein bars, and yes, plain dinner rolls though she would never let that otaku idiot find out. On a dime her mood changed again yet her smile remained. It could only be described as looking kind of dopey as she thought of all the possible romantic futures that lay before them. Hey, a girl can dream can't she?
The weary soldier made his way from the room, still only having a pair of pants to wear, his shirt determined a biohazard. Kaname almost cut herself watching him enter when she heard the footsteps. 'Damn, I need to find him something to wear. I wonder if he would accept anything in my closet...' The image of Sousuke in different blouses stuck in her mind as he kept saying 'This is NOT fit for a Specialist.' Too bad he wasn't really a specialist anymore.
