AN: now with lemons!

Sosuke Sagara arrived early for his first day on the job, wearing his usual assortment of gear under his black suit. He stood there by the limo that was waiting to take his 'target,' Juliet Davenport, to her private school. Julie was 16 years old and was sent to one of the most expensive schools in Japan. As he waited, her mother came walking towards him.

"Mr. Sagara, right?" she asked, more of a statement than a question. "Don't be surprised if she tries to ditch you. Her favorite trick is sneaking out the bathroom window with her friends." She paused, then said, "Or she might try to make you quit."

"I am prepared to do my job, ma'am," Sosuke replied.

"Well, I hired you to keep her safe. As long as you do that, I don't care how you deal with her, understand?" she said as she flipped out her cell phone.

"Understood. Ensure her safety at all cost," Sosuke said formally.

"I like the way you think," she said to him, before her tone turned angry. "And don't even think about trying to hook up with my daughter. I -"

"I am in a committed relationship," he said, before adding, "If I did, she might kill me, at best."

"Introduce me some time. She sounds like my kind of girl."

"Understood," he said as Julie came out to meet her new bodyguard.

"So is this him?" Julie asked, her tone clearly not happy.

"It is very nice to meet you, Miss Davenport," Sosuke said to the younger of the two.

"It's just Julie," she said, sneering at him before turning to her mother. "Mom, I can take care of myself."

"Whatever. We've had this discussion before. Mr. Sagara is staying, and that is final. Get going or you'll be late for school," her mother said tersely.

"Fine," Julie whined again before entering the limo, Sosuke right behind her.

"So here is the thing," Julie said as the limo got moving. "My mother is just paranoid, got it?" she said looking Sosuke in the eye for the first time. "Let's work out a deal, okay?"

"What kind of deal?" he asked, suspiciously.

"1 pay you to get lost, the school has great -"

"Denied."

"10,000 a day!"

"Denied."

"20,000 a day!"

"Denied."

"50,000 a day!" Julie yelled at him.

"Denied."

"Oh come on, your throwing away a fortune," she said.

"No amount of money is worth a life," he said staring her in the eye. "There are somethings you cannot buy with money."

"Like what?" she asked sarcastically.

"Life, love. Having someone you care about say they will wait even hundreds of years for you."

Something in his tone touched her heart in a way she did not understand. He sounded so... sincere, in love.

"Whatever," she said dismissively.

They rode the rest of the way in silence. Eventually they arrived at the school. More of a palace, Sosuke thought. He evaluated the security of the school grounds. All in all, it wasn't bad. Guards at the gates, 12-foot walls, security cameras everywhere. The glass of the buildings looked bullet resistant, at the least.

As Julie got out of the car and strutted up to the school entrance, Sosuke was a step behind and scanning the crowds of obviously rich kids. Most had the harmless look of children raised in luxury and who never had had to work. Spotting a serious threat should be a easy. Remembering the countless lessons pounded into him by Kaname kept him from tackling the girls running towards Julie. He did have his hand on his Glock, fingering the safety though. His fears proved unfounded.

"Hey Julie, so who is your new friend?" one girl asked.

"The latest stiff my mother hired. Would you believe he turned down 50,000 a day to leave me alone?"

"What a jerk, he probably doesn't even know how much that is," a second girl said.

"And how gross is that suit, its like something you see in a bad movie. It's so cheap it's just rude."

"And what about that scar on his face? No, just no."

"I don't know, it's kinda hot." another said.

"Whatever," they all said in unison as they turned as one and headed inside. Sosuke followed Julie as she made her way to her class and Sosuke was relieved to see he was not the only bodyguard assigned to the students. He counted four others in the room, as well as a few maids, one of who had cold, hard gray eyes despite her smile that made him wonder if she was more bodyguard than maid. The other bodyguards seemed uninterested, even bored. Sosuke found their unprofessionalism disturbing.

As the class started and the day wore on, Sosuke fell back into familiar patterns. This was very much like guarding Kaname, but this time he was just guarding, not trying to fit into high school life. Soon, Julie raised her hand,

"Teacher, I have to go to the bathroom," she said.

"Oh, me too," one of Julie's cohorts said, with the other two nodding in agreement.

"Fine, fine," the teacher said waving them out. The four girls got up and headed out of the room. Sosuke followed Julie as the four of them wound down the halls to a girl's bathroom on the first floor.

"You can't come inside, you know," Julie said to him.

"I'll be near by," he told Julie.

After the girls went in, Sosuke listened to them as they opened the back windows and snuck outside. He raced outside and around the building just as he spotted the quartet of girls leaving out the back gate. He settled on tailing them, as his assignment was to protect, not to keep her in school.

It had been a while since he had to tail anyone, but thankfully these girls could have been tailed by the greenest of recruits and they would never known it. He had no trouble keeping them in sight for the hours they wandered around the high-end shopping district.

As the day wore on and sunlight turned to night time, they all headed back to the train station. Julie boarded a different train and headed to the mansion where she lived. Sosuke took a seat a few rows back and watched her in the reflection of his window. He continued to tail her until she hailed a cab. Fighting panic, he stood in the road until a car stopped in front of him. Pulling out his gun he walked up to the driver side window.

"Please give me a ride," he told the driver, who did as instructed, the gun deeply influencing his cooperation.

"Is this a carjacking?" the driver asked nervously,

"No," Sosuke replied, "I simply need you to follow that cab in front of us."

"Okay man," he said, still nervous.

They had driven a few blocks when Sosuke instructed him to pull to the side of the road.

''Please don't kill me," the driver cried.

"Thank you for the ride," Sosuke said as he got out, tossing the driver a business card of his employer. "Please see them for reimbursement."

"You're not going to kill me?" the driver asked, but Sosuke was already running down the street where Julie had gotten out of the cab. He rounded the gate just as Julie tried to sneak inside.

"JULIET WINSOR DAVENPORT, GET UP TO YOUR ROOM! " her mother screamed at her.

"THAT GUY YOU HIRED IS A LOSER! IT'S NOT MY FAULT," Julie screamed back at her mother.

"THAT'S NOT FOR YOU TO DECIDE!"her mother yelled back as Julie huffed and sighed as she passed her and headed inside.

"You," Mrs. Davenport said, hate in her eyes.

"Sosuke Sagara reporting," he said.

"So what now, you tell me she didn't lose you?"

"No ma'am."

"You weren't in the cab," she a said darkly.

"I enlisted the help of the car directly behind her."

"Enlisted?" she asked curious. "How?"

"Glock 9mm."

"I see," she a said, a dark smile forming on her lips, "Well, you have impressed me. You get to keep your job." She turned around and slammed the door in Sosuke's face.

"Thank you," he said to the closed door.

It was well after dark when Sosuke got home. He opened the door and was as quiet as he had ever been on a black op, not wanting to wake Kaname if she was asleep. As he walked slowly in the darkness, his foot his hit something soft that mumbled, "Oof."

"Hey, you back," Kaname slurred from the floor.

"Why are you on the floor, Kaname?" he asked her.

"And why not?!" She yelled at him back, clearly drunk.

"You're drunk."

"Well, I had a crappy day and I wanted to celebrate your new job, but you were late so I got bored and started without you and, yeah, guess I got a little drunk," she said, adding a hiccup.

"A little? Time for bed," he told her, hoping she would cooperate.

"No," she protested, "I'm a big girl, don't wanna." She paused, straightening up and pointing to the living room, before yelling, "To the couch, Sosuke. Search and destroy!" He urged in a British accent. She took a step, but ended up falling on the floor and bursting into a fit of the giggles.

"Okay, to the couch it is," Sosuke told her, before lifting her in his arms.

"Yeah, I meant to do that, really," she said, as she traced his jaw with her fingers. "Nice scar, Sosuke, have any more?"

"Many."

"Show me," she said as he set her down on the couch.

"Very well," he said as he took off his shirt.

|"I see, I see," she said, her voice unsteady.

"Are you okay, Kaname? You're breathing hard."

"Nope, just fine. Damn, you're fine," she said as she admired his shirtless form. She had another giggle fit before patting the seat beside her. "Sit." As he sat down, she kicked him off the seat and on to the floor.

"What was that for?" he asked. She just giggled and hiccuped.

"What?" she said, jumping off the couch and straddling him on the floor. "Sosuke, I...I..." Her smiles turned to tears. He sat up and held her as she cried, her hot tears on his bare shoulder.

"It's okay, it's alright," he told her, the smell of her hair deep in his nose.

"No, it's not alright," she said as she sniffled. "It's not alright. It's not okay. I feel so deeply for you, and I can never say it. I can never tell you how I really feel. I just..."

"It's not a problem," he told her. She started crying again and held him tight, wrapping her legs around his back as she cried on his shoulder. He stroked her hair, not knowing what else to do to comfort her. As he held her, his body reacted to her very female form.

"So you are a guy after all," she said after a few minutes, feeling the hardness in his pants as she sat on his lap. He started to deny it, to say anything, but before he could, she cut him off with a smile.

"I was worried it got shot off somewhere," she said, still smiling. She leaned in and kissed him, not the docile kiss they shared at graduation day. This was all hunger.

"Stop for a minute, Sosuke," she said, leaning back and putting some distance between them.

"Kaname, I'm sorry. I just -"

She cut off his apology with a smile and pressed her finger to his lips. "The bra is in the way," she said to him as she took off her top and then her bra. As she sat there on him, topless, Sosuke started to doubt he should do this.

"Stop," he told her. "I can't take advantage of you when you are drunk."

"Idiot. I'm not sure I can do this unless I am drunk," she a said to him staring deeply into his eyes. "I want this, Sosuke. Please trust me. I know what I am doing."

"I can't take advantage of you like this."

"Idiot," she said, smiling, "You would never take advantage of me. And that's what I love about you. I'm always safe, no matter how exposed I am." She smiled again and shoved him to the ground, grinding her body against his and kissed him again. She grabbed his hands and placed them on her breasts. His calloused hands softly gripped her erect nipples and a small moan escaped her lips as she came up for air.

"You don't know how many times I dreamed of this, Sosuke."

Sosuke wanted to say something, but she spoke before he could an answer.

"Well, he seems happy," she said, as her hand went down to his pants and fumbled with his belt. She leaned on him again as she guided him into her, her nose scrunched in concentration. Once inside, she rocked her hips to a rhythm only she knew, the two bodies moving to each other. Sosuke held back until her moans grew louder and louder and her body spasmed against his.

The two lovers stayed on the floor, enjoying the afterglow, both of them dozing in happiness and contentment. It was Kaname who spoke first.

"Hey Sosuke? Can you do something for me?" she asked softly, her breath warm on his ear.

''Anything." He would conquer the world if she asked him to.

"Get me some toilet paper?" she asked, with an uneasy smile.

''Toilet paper?"

"Yeah,I'm leaking," she said, embarrassed.

"Leaking what?"

''Idiot," she said., taking his hand and placing it between her legs.

"Get it now?" she said to him as he his hands came back wet and sticky.

"Toilet paper, not a problem."

"1 love you, Sosuke," she a said softly,

"I love you too," he said as he gently got up.
