What I did in the last chapter was a great error on my part. I admit my mistake on it and I hope that people will continue to enjoy my story despite my own foolish and chlidish mistake. An authors work should be his own and I'm sorry for what I did. I don't own Full Metal Panic or Metal Gear. I do own this idea, and this is my own creation with the help of SniegZ. Thank you.
The next few days after the dance passed relatively fast. It had been a long time since Kaname had any kind of peace and quiet.
Even though Sousuke and Michael blew up the lockers for the third straight time this week, it was still quiet by her standards.
The events of the dance played strongly in her mind as she smiled whenever she thought of it. Kyoko had given her and Sousuke copies of the pictures that she took at the dance.
Looking at the picture with just her Sousuke standing next to each other and smiling she thought back to what Sousuke asked.
'A date,' She still couldn't believe that he had asked her. No doubt a little encouraged from his brother Michael, 'He asked me on a date and I refused.'
Kaname felt a ting of guilt every time she thought about it. It was a fact that she did care about Sousuke a great deal and wanted to be closer to him.
It was all because of Ocelot.
Ocelot still presented a great threat to her and her life. She never forgot the fear in Sousuke's eyes when he saw Ocelot again. Though he was old and did not do anything, that childhood memory played again in Sousuke's head.
Ocelot was indeed a dangerous man and it would be no surprise if Ocelot used Sousuke to his advantage.
Michael warned in great detail that Ocelot was not a man who knew pity or mercy. If he could kill you at that moment, he would do it without a warning, pity or any kind of remorse what so ever. If he wanted something he would use any means to get what he wanted. Blackmail, kidnapping, extortion or threats he had done it all.
Ocelot was the least of her problems.
Leonard Testarossa was her biggest concern.
The fellow whispered that she meant in Hong Kong presented more of threat to her than Ocelot.
Where as Ocelot would kidnap her for her secrets, Leonard would take her because he liked her.
She shivered at the thought of him watching her in her room at night while she slept. It was a fear that she had recently ever since Michael told them he saw Leonard at the dance.
Needless to say, Sousuke wanted to know why he wasn't dead or captured.
His response was, "Okay, we kill him. Yeah us. But, his robots go and attack people and I don't have to weapons to stop them."
Michael response was less than polite but a good point.
She still could not believe that Leonard expected FOXHOUND to pull out because he asked Michael to do so. It was as if the world revolved around him and anything he wanted he could take without a fight.
A childish thought that could very well be true.
His organization had access to Lambda Drivers and if he could get mercenaries like Ocelot to work for them than what she thought could be true.
Anything he wanted he could get.
Maybe even her.
'I know Sousuke and Michael will fight to protect me, but who will protect them?' Kaname thought sadly.
She put the picture back into her bag and headed for the door. She just finished doing some work for the school council and was going to meet Kyoko for a little snack.
Kaname had made plans since Michael and Sousuke were going to hang out and do whatever it was they would.
Sliding the door she thought that they would trade guns and grenades if they were trading cards.
Giggling at the laugh she almost forgot that they would be at Sousuke's place. Maybe she would invite Sousuke over for a little dinner and they could talk.
Maybe it would be time to address her fears about this matter.
"Hey Kaname what's wrong?" Kyoko pointed out when they meet.
"Nothing just sorting out a few things." She said with a small smile.
"What, like how your going to tell Sousuke you like him?" Kyoko teased.
Kaname blushed, "What now why would you say that?"
"Because you've been looking at the pictures I gave you deeply since than." She pointed out.
Kaname looked stunned and embarrassed with being caught, "Well, that is neither here nor there. Let's go eat."
Kyoko threw her hands up in defeat, "Whatever you say Kaname."
Michael was leaning against the school fence waiting for Sousuke. Sousuke needed to take care of a few things before they could go over to his place.
Apparently he wanted to talk to Michael about this VR training that they had at FOXHOUND.
The VR training, or Virtual Reality training, system was a new way to train soldiers without the hazard events that could happen in real training.
It was an effective system in which you could run any simulation you want in any situation but it could never replace the real deal.
Real combat with real bullets was the only real way to go.
However, politicians had been advocating it since the issue of training safety came into the new things to discuss.
Michael shook his head silently thanking whatever deity that was up there had Colonel Campbell as a commander.
A real commander with experience in the field. He knew what to expect and cared more for the survival of his men than the completion of the mission.
Snake had said once that, "I would rather have an old man whose had experience than a young man with none."
Michael had admitted that Mithril was good. They did a lot of good things in the world and he respected them for it.
It was Captain Tessa Testarossa the head of the Pacific Fleet in Mithril that he had problems.
Michael would not deny the fact that she was a genius. He would openly admit that. Her choice has a commander was something that he would always be against. She was young and knew very little of the battlefield. She had seen men die at close range in a sub.
It was different when you're in plain with men screaming around you. Bodies flying and limbs and blood rain the sky.
Tessa had no idea who the true enemies were in the world.
If Tessa had minded her own business Leonard Testarossa would have been dead long ago.
He snapped out of thoughts when his CODEC went off.
Without even checking he answered it, "This Sword-One, what is it?"
"Sword-one, is that you codename?" He recognized the cute voice and sighed.
"Hey Mei-Ling." He was hoping to avoid this.
"You haven't called me or anything." She said a little annoyed by him.
"Well, I've been busy and-"
"Busy with what? School work?" She teased.
Michael laughed nervously.
"I was wondering if some cute girl had taken your attention away from me." She said in a pout way.
Michael laughed, "No I'm not that lucky Mei-Ling."
Mei-Ling laughed at his joke, "So, that girl Sousuke has quite the temper. Don't you agree?"
"Ask my head." He said stating the obvious.
Mei-Ling giggled, "True but that is your own fault."
Michael just shook his head.
"So what are your plans after this mission?" Mei-Ling asked out of the blue.
Michael froze, "Go back to FOXHOUND. What else?"
"No I meant after you leave FOXHOUND. What are you going to do?"
Michael had given very little thought to it. Colonel Campbell was the one who talked with him the most about it. He kept encouraging the young man to consider a career outside of the military. Snake agreed with the Colonel and plainly said, "You've seen more than enough. Its time to let the old men die before you join them."
Mei-Ling continued, "What about college? I know a few people that could give you a great recommendation to M.I.T or somewhere else?"
Michael didn't answer, "I don't know. I've already talked about this with the others about it."
Mei-Ling was silent.
"And you and I have talked about it be-"
"I know. I still don't believe that you will die on the battlefield Michael." She said sadly.
"It's my fate." He stated.
"Since when did you ever believe in fate let alone anything that relates to God?" She questioned.
"Mei-Ling, I'm different from Sousuke. I was born into combat not like he was. I was born that way and I will die that way." Michael defended.
"You have a right to happiness. He has it, and I know that-"
Michael stopped her, "I can't. I don't have a right. I've killed many people and my sins are still too great. I have too many ghosts that haunt me."
Mei-Ling was silent.
"I've accepted my fate Mei-Ling. Why can't everyone else?"
"Because we believe that everyone can have happiness! Michael if you just-"
"Mei-Ling, we've talked about this before. Please, don't make it harder on yourself." He said trying to show that it did not affect him.
Mei-Ling didn't say anything for a few minutes, "Can we still have out weekly café sessions?"
Michael laughed a little, "Of course. Why did you think I would cancel that?"
Mei-Ling giggled, "I guess not. Michael I just want you to hear this and think."
Michael was quiet wanting to hear it.
Mei-Ling cleared her throat and started, "Man can make heaven and man can make hell, we both know that very well. Only man decides his fate. If you think of dieing in hell before reaching heaven then that's what you'll get, but if you're determined to reach for heaven then you will."
Michael was confused, "What does that mean?"
Mei-Ling nodded, "It means never giving up on your dreams Michael."
Michael was silent than answered, "I don't have dreams," He paused, "Only nightmares. Mei-Ling gasped and Michael ended the transmission.
He stood silent thinking about everything he had seen and done. He had no heaven for him just hell waiting when he died.
He turned and saw Sousuke "Yo, got your stuff taken care of my friend."
"Affirmative. All things have been squared away with the President. He wanted to talk to me about a few things." He gave Michael a hard look, "You know what I'm talking about."
It wasn't a question, it was a statement, "Yea, I do because he told me."
Sousuke was silent as they walked on the crowded sidewalks. They had a lot to talk about.
"So how is it going with Sousuke?" Kyoko asked as they left the small burger joint they went to.
"For the hundredth time okay." She was getting frustrated with that question and just wanted her to stop talking about it.
Kyoko and the others wanted to know if she and Sousuke were an item. They were all surprised when she told them no.
Kyoko continued, "Kaname you do care about Sousuke right?"
Kaname could only nod, "I do but I have a few things to work out. I just don't think I am ready for it. Let alone with that military nut."
Kyoko just shook her head, "Don't be afraid about. Sousuke isn't the kind of person that would hurt you. In fact, I would be more worried if other guys started talking to you."
"Yea, well putting a gun at them would be enough really." She said laughing at the thought.
"What if Tessa made a move?"
"TESSA!" That name boiled her blood. It was no surprise that Kaname did not like her. A pampered girl that really didn't know how to give up. Kaname was at least happy that Michael did not like her at all. She was appalled to hear that she interfered with the assassination of Leonard. Her problems could have been dealt with if he was gone. But would she have been alive if he was dead?
She touched her lips thinking of him kissing her and the memory still burned. She still had not told Sousuke about it.
"Kaname are you okay? Your thinking about something?" Kyoko asked.
Kaname snapped out of it, "Don't worry about anything Kyoko. It's not Sousuke its really more me. I've never really been in a real relationship and I'm not really sure if I can handle one with Sousuke."
"I know what you mean. He probably be more protective than he already." Kyoko said.
Kaname laughed nervously thinking about the different things that would happen.
They reached Kaname's apartment and Kaname was saying her goodbyes.
"Kaname one thing you should think about tonight." Kyoko said.
Kaname looked at her.
"It is only after that we lose something that we really appreciate it. Sousuke is really one of a kind but you can't expect to just wait on it. He could very well leave the next day." Kyoko said. Her tone and eyes told Kaname that she wanted her to hear and think about it.
Kaname looked at her sadly, "I know, I just want to be sure that nothing else will happen." The elevator door opened and Kaname entered it.
As the elevator rose she touched her chest and listened to her own heart beat. The care that she had for Sousuke was strong and his devotion to her was just as strong.
Kaname knew that no matter she did or happen, Sousuke would always come through for him.
She exited the elevator on her floor and looked over at where Sousuke's apartment was. She looked down and saw Michael and Sousuke entering the elevator. Kaname sighed wondering the kind of trouble they were going to cause.
Kaname was happy that Michael was as a supportive brother as he was a friend. Still, she wondered what kind of soldier he was. She remembered his fight with Tsubaki and the seemingly merciless and overwhelming way he beat him.
Kaname thought about a few things that they talked about before.
It was no guessing that Michael knew what was going on. After the dance he encouraged it between the two. Teasing and just being himself. His teasing however got him hit quite a few times with her fan.
She unlocked her door and slipped her shoes off. Kaname put her bag down and set her keys on the key rack.
Kaname looked up and heard the TV running, 'That's strange I didn't leave it on. I was in a rush this morning so maybe I did."
She opened the door and gasped.
Someone was in her.
Someone she did not want to see ever again.
The young man rose as he turned off the TV and got up from the couch. He moved his silver hair from his face and gave Kaname a sweet smile, "Ms. Kaname Chidori, a pleasure to see you again."
Kaname leaned back against the wall, "What are you doing here?" Absolutely terrified that this man was in her room. Was he in here before?!
"Don't worry, I just came to talk and that is it." Leonard said walking up to her.
She moved away from the wall trying to keep distance from him, "Whatever it is, I don't want to hear so get out!" she yelled.
"How rude. It would be in your best interest to listen since your guard dog is busy." He responded slyly.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"Ocelot did want to see both of them." Leonard looked at her with a cold yet calming look.
Kaname reached for the phone.
She felt a hand on hers.
Kaname looked and saw Leonard very close to her face. She jumped back stunned by how fast he moved.
"That will not be necessary. I assure you that nothing will happen to them. However, how long that will be is up to you." Leonard response was meant to get her attention and stop this nonsense.
Kaname's fear started to rise more and more with each word he spoke, "What do you mean?"
Leonard walked over to her table and pulled out two chairs across from each other, "Please take a seat. What I say you should listen to."
Sousuke was not mad at Michael. He was more upset that he kept this from him.
"I had my reasons to keep this from you." Michael defended.
"I can understand if it relates to me. If the school wants me gone than I am okay with that. However, to bring Chidori into this is a different thing." Sousuke stated.
"I understand that believe me I do. But telling you would have only eased my conscious and not yours. I was going to tell you after we dealt with Ocelot and Leonard. This kind of thing can wait." Michael said ending the discussion.
Michael was the only thing that Sousuke had as family. The two were inseparable in battle and knew how to watch each others back. What is different know is that just as Sousuke changed being with Kaname, Michael changed when he was with FOXHOUND.
The personal there were said to have the qualities of a spy and a soldier. They knew how to get the job done and they would get it done. The difference though is that they know how to keep secrets and to tell who and what they were to know.
Michael exemplified that comparison.
"I understand that you don't want Kaname to be forced out but I think that you don't want to be the one to spoil her life here." Michael smiled slightly. He hit the arrow right in the center.
Sousuke was silent for awhile trying to figure out what to say, "I came into her life and turned it around. She became aware of things that she should not have to be aware. A girl her age should not have to have the trials that she went through or face the people that she has."
Michael listened to him. He understood where he was coming from and where this guilt he had in his voice, "So you feel responsible for everything that has happened to her right?"
Sousuke nodded a little.
"It wasn't your fault that she was born a whispered. It wasn't your fault that in her memory there are secrets that could change the political and military shape of this world. It is what we call run of the mill." Michael stated.
Sousuke looked at his friend and listened.
"Whatever happens with this happens. However, you realize that she depends on you for strength and protection. Such a thing is hard to find in this day and age but remember this old friend."
They reached the elevator and called it.
"Whatever happens, you stand tall and face it not with fear but with courage. If you don't who will." Michael turned the elevator door opened, "If you care about her as much as I know you do, than you have no choice."
Sousuke looked at Michael, "Affirmative."
"So you going to ask her out again?" He asked smiling.
He nodded, "When she is ready."
Michael laughed, "When this is over, I would not be surprised if she dragged you straight to the bed my friend."
Sousuke froze blushing hard.
They reached for the door and stopped.
Michael turned to Sousuke, "You know it too."
"Affirmative." He dropped his bag and pulled out his Glock. Michael unbuttoned his jacket and pulled out his SOCOM gun.
They opened the door fast and peered in with guns pointed at the hallway.
Sousuke nodded and Michael took the lead. Slowly and quietly he walked through the hall with Sousuke watching his back.
Someone was here.
The person left no traces of it on the door. It was more of a sixth sense feeling about it.
They reached the door and froze. An old and intense fear started to creep through the two young men.
After there departure years ago they tried there best to remove that fear.
But here, right now it was returning.
The memories of that white haired man and his twirling revolver.
Sousuke looked at Michael and nodded.
Sousuke leaned against the wall opposite to Michael as he moved to the front of the door.
Sousuke started a silent countdown with his fingers.
On the third one the door kicked opened and the two men rushed in.
A familiar face wearing a brown cloak turned to them.
Sousuke and Michael kept there guns pointed at him, "Long time no see my old friends."
"OCELOT!" Sousuke yelled, "On the floor now!"
Ocelot shook his head, "And I thought you were polite know."
Out of nowhere two soldiers appeared behind Sousuke and Michael with the use of stealth camo.
"Please gentleman put your guns away. I only came to talk." Ocelot responded.
Michael and Sousuke raised there arms with there guns hanging on one finger.
The guards reached for the guns.
Sousuke and Michael nodded to each other.
Michael gave a back head butt on the guard.
Sousuke gave a fierce elbow in the face to his guard.
Michael's guard reeled back in pain. Before he could even register what took place someone grabbed his shoulders and kneed him in the gut as hard as that person than threw him against the wall and was out.
Sousuke's guard grabbed his face touching where he was hit. Sousuke turned to him and punched him across the face. He then kicked him in the ribs and a jab across his face. The guard slumped against the wall.
They grabbed their guns all aimed at Ocelot.
Ocelot just clapped, "Impressive. You two have improved a great deal but I only came to talk."
Four camo soldiers appeared behind them and grabbed there arms pinning them against there back The guards took their guns and dragged the two toward the table and slammed them on it.
Sousuke and Michael growled in absolute humiliation about this.
Ocelot walked over twirling his revolver, "Now than, I take it you know why I am here."
Sousuke struggled to get up but the two guards holding him slammed him down harder, "To get Kaname right?"
"Very true Sousuke very true." He holstered his gun and took a seat directly in front of them, "I came here to see you two as well. I heard that you have been quite successful in the mercenary fields. Than you two join very promising organizations. Sousuke you went to Mithril and Michael was at the SAS than at FOXHOUND."
Michael grunted as his arms started to hurt from the pressure the guards were applying, "What's your point?"
"Let's just say that meeting you two again is a bonus for me. I mean Michael its been a while since we last saw each other and we left on such bad terms don't you agree. That person was interesting." He laughed mocking him.
Michael gritted his teeth and tried to rise but the guards kept pushing down on him.
"With what we have planned I wonder if you are really as good as you say you are. However, Sousuke you disappoint me." Ocelot looked directly at him.
"What do you mean?"
"A child could break through your security set-up." Ocelot just smiled.
Sousuke thought for a moment than started shaking his body and became violent. He grunted trying to get free. The two guards started having a harder time holding him down.
"Who is in there?!" Michael started fighting more to get the guards off of him.
"Leonard Testarossa."
Kaname sat down and looked at Leonard long and hard, "What do you want?"
Leonard leaned back into his chair and just smiled, "It's simple really. Just pack your bags and come with me. If you do that, everything around you will be okay. You just have to forget about everything here."
Kaname was stunned to say the least. Did she just hear him right, "You want me to leave here and go with you!?"
"Yes and if you do I promise that your accommodations are perfect. A wonderful room is set-up for you along with facilities that can help achieve your full potential as a whispered and you will never have to worry about threats like before again." Leonard gave her a small smile. The look in his eyes were enough to tell her that he was serious.
"So you want me to just get up and leave with. Is that right?" Kaname asked.
Leonard just nodded, "That is it."
"No."
Leonard was surprised but his face was unchanged.
Kaname rose from her seat and looked at him with furious intent, "I don't know where you get off on this! How dare you come in her and say something like that. What makes you think that I would just go with you anywhere? Do you honestly think that I will go with you of my own free will!?"
"Yes I do." Leonard said calmly.
Kaname didn't know if she should hit him or kill him, "Listen you what do you-"
"They started to change haven't they? Your friends?" He looked at her casually giving a smug look.
Kaname gasped.
"Ever since that time in North Korea they have started to notice things. They know that you are special and they are scared of it."
"Stop it." She quietly wanting him to stop.
"It is not just that." He rose from his seat, "They have noticed that what makes you special is starting to come out. The work that you do makes it clear that you are better than them and that is enough to started being jealous and angry at you."
"Stop it." She said a little more loudly.
Leonard walked behind her and rested his hands on her shoulders. He whispered in her ear, "It is only a matter of time that they start to hate you. Resent you that which they do not understand. It is fear that drives there hate and no one can understand it. Soon it will be-"
"I SAID STOP IT!" She turned to him tears in her eyes and pushed him back as hard as she could.
"Your time here is over. Your place is with us and I offer you-"
"I said get out right now!" She said ready to take his head off.
Leonard just sighed heading for the door, "Kaname Chidori, I came here trying to avoid what will happen. I was hoping to solve this peacefully and without violence but it appears you give us no choice." Leonard turned to her.
"Why are you doing this?" She pleaded wanting an answer.
He gave her a sweet smile that would make an angel jealous, "Because I love you." With that he left.
Kaname stood there silent for a second. Her body started to tremble with him just being that close to her. The words 'I love you' made her sick.
She covered her mouth and rushed to the bathroom retching in the toilet. When it was done she curled into a ball and leaned against the wall, "Sousuke please help me." She kept saying over and over again.
"LEONARD IS IN HER ROOM!" Sousuke yelled trying to force himself up. The guards slammed him harder causing him to bleed.
"Yes, just to talk and nothing more but I have something to tell you two." Ocelot smirked, "Your organizations have become a thorn in our sides."
"Sides?! Since when did you take sides?" Michael laughed. The guards lifted him up and slammed his head on the table silencing him.
"Needless to say your organizations are getting close to our secrets and we can't have that. As of today, the following orders were given. Crush the enemy and behead the hounds and take Angel." Ocelot said.
"Angel!? Kaname?!" Sousuke yelled.
"Crush Mithril and FOXHOUND you don't have-"
Ocelot cut him off, "Ahh but we do. You underestimate us and that will lead to your deaths. Can you two really stop what is about to happen tomorrow? Can you really hope to just survive?"
The two were silent.
"However, I am a man that wants a good show. So I want to play a game." He smiled looking at them and rested his elbows on the table.
"A game!? This isn't some movie or bad anime Ocelot." Michael grunted out.
"True but I like to have a little fun every now and then don't you agree Michael?" Ocelot continued, "Tomorrow morning I will call you with tasks. These tasks relate to things that are important to you. If you fail people will die and it will be on your head. If you try to leave the city or get Kaname out of the city, I will destroy every place that has a great deal of people. Preferable with women and children." Ocelot rose to leave. He motioned to the guards and they let go.
Sousuke and Michael panted moving there arms trying to make sure they were one-hundred percent.
There was a knock on the door. The guards raised there guns at them making sure they did not move or anything.
Leonard entered in a graceful manner, "Ah, Mr. Ocelot are we done here?"
"Ah yes we are Mr. Silver." Ocelot rose from his chair. He went put the guns that the guards took on the table.
"Ah Mr. Sousuke Sagara is it? I'm Leonard Testarossa." He said politely with a small smile.
Sousuke looked at him, "What did you do to Chidori?"
"Nothing you shouldn't be worried about it. She did take my offer rather nasty don't you think. I wonder if you have anything to do with that behavior of hers." Leonard taunted.
Sousuke clenched his fist.
"A violent person usually leaves violent tendencies in normal people." Leonard mocked.
Sousuke would have ripped his head off if the guards were not point semi-automatics at him.
Michael laughed looking at Leonard, "How is your nose? What did you do bleach your nose or something." Remembering his kick in the face.
Sousuke took a shot, "I guess that kick did a number on him. He looks like a mime"
The guards started to break in laughs. Even Ocelot had to look away to hid his laugh.
Leonard just sneered at them.
Michael continued, "I guess he is a pro in make-up Sousuke."
"He can give Captain Tessa a run for his money." Sousuke joked.
"So he is a girl." Michael looked at Leonard just breaking up from laughter, "It makes sense. He is so thin and scrawny it's no surprise he would look like a girl. I wonder if he shops in the girls section."
The guards started laughing out loud. Ocelot even could not keep his laughter showing it to everyone. Sousuke was having a hard time from keeping himself from rolling on the floor.
Leonard started getting red in the face and got in front of Michael.
"Hey Leonard? Your make-up is running." Michael laughed more.
Leonard pulled a gun out and pointed it right underneath his chin, "Be careful with what you say," Everyone stopped laughing, "Do not underestimate people by looks. I have more power than you could ever imagine and I could kill you anytime I wanted to."
"And I can kill you just as easily as breaking a twig and without help little man. Do not underestimate what men of our caliber can do." Michael said not backing down.
Ocelot stopped them, "That is enough; we did what we wanted to do now lets leave."
Leonard holstered his gun and left not saying a word to either of them
The door closed and the two were silent for a moment.
Sousuke gasped, "Kaname!"
Michael nodded, "Get over there!"
Sousuke rushed out with all his speed leaving a dust cloud in his wake.
Michael contacted Snake, "Snake, we a have a code-2."
Sousuke rushed to over to Kaname's place in record time.
He immediately took at the spare key that Kaname gave him and unlocked the door.
Without even thinking he yelled, "KANAME!"
He was panting and his heart was racing. Ocelot said they wanted to talk but still he didn't trust him.
Leonard could have done anything to her and he would have been helpless. His rage drove if he-
He heard crying.
Sousuke rushed to the living room and found nothing. He turned and heard something in the bathroom. Walking quietly into Kaname's room he saw the bathroom light on.
The door was closed slightly.
Sousuke gently opened it and saw Kaname leaned against the wall clutching her legs crying softly.
"Kaname?" He asked but got no response.
He gently touched her shoulders and she jerked away.
"Kaname it's me." Sousuke said quietly.
Kaname looked up and her face was a mess with tears. Her brown eyes were red from all the tears she had to have been crying.
"I'm sorry for what happened I-"
Before he could finished Kaname rushed at him with her arms around him crying, "Please tell me everything will be normal tomorrow?!"
Sousuke did not understand, "Kaname I-"
She clutched his shirt with her face into his chest, "Just tell me everything will be normal when you stop this?"
Sousuke gasped when he heard this. He was facing a powerful enemy with an unknown amount of back-up. Worst-off, Mithril and FOXHOUND could be attacked and there support would be cut.
He would be separate from the Arbalest and in real trouble if the enemy had AS units.
Things looked impossible for him even with Michael being here.
Sousuke looked down at the young girl crying into his chest, "Everything will be okay." He said not sure if he could keep that promise.
Sousuke wrapped his arms around her and held her close.
The battlefields were calling again and this time victory was just impossible.
I do hope that I can count of peoples support from now on. What I did was take the storyline of COMO and just changed it a little. The events from this point are still going to follow the FMP timeline but not the story. I do hope that I can count on tidoos continued support.
