Chapter 5: He's such an idiot….

Kurz and Kaname returned to her apartment. She was happy that Sousuke got out with out being caught. She sat down on the couch and sighed.
"Kurz…won't people know? I mean you are older than most of us…" She said looking at him. She was still confused as to how they expected him to protect her.
Kurz sighed as he got a glass of water and sat down next to her.
"I don't know…they didn't want Sousuke to do it, and you need to remain safe. I'm a sniper I can handle anything…" He said as he drank it.
Kaname sighed, there was something odd about this and she didn't like it.

Sousuke sat in his apartment reviewing old mission reports and yawning as he turned the pages. He was feeling much better now that he had seen Chidori. He put the files down and sighed going and taking a shower. He got out of the shower putting on a pair of boxers and climbing under his bed and yawning. It was still early in the evening but he was tired. He hadn't slept since before the flight there.

The next Morning….

Kurz brought Kaname to the train stop. They both arrived at the normal time but there was someone missing. Sousuke had not shown up. This was very much unlike him Sousuke never was late at least he wasn't when they knew he would be around, and for a fact they knew it was pretty safe to say Sousuke was still in his apartment. Sousuke blinked waking up and looking at his watch. He realized he had slept in, his alarm didn't go off.
He got up quickly throwing on his Jindai uniform grabbing one of the military rations he had brought with him and eating it as he ran as fast as he could to the train stop. Kurz sighed.
"Looks like he's not going to show up…." He said and sighed looking around.
Kaname blinked watching the train pull up and the doors open.

Sousuke, not showing up for school? This is odd…very odd.

She sighed stepping up onto the train. Kurz followed behind her. She stood in her usual spot near the door, the doors started to close and the train started to move forward slightly. Sousuke had reached the door but it was too late it had already closed. He sighed as he watched the train start moving, he blinked and ran jumping onto the back of it holding onto the metal and the slight groove where the back window was. Kaname blinked. She had seen Sousuke out the window but she figured he had just gone to get his bike and ride to school like they had one day before. She looked at Kurz and sighed.
"This is so stupid…Sousuke is the only person who can protect me…" She said under her breath. Kurz blinked and sighed.
"Well it's my mission so you're gonna have to live with it." He said a little agitated at her comment.

He looked at her and nodded. Sousuke held onto the back of the train getting odd looks from people the train passed. When they got to the school Sousuke jumped off the back of the train and started to walk towards the doors. Kaname and Kurz got off along with Kyoko and Ono-D. Kaname blinked seeing Sousuke.
"Looks like he made it after all" She smiled and sighed.
Kurz nodded a little and blinked as he walked into the school with her.

English Class

Sousuke sat at his desk typing on his lap top; he had a class assignment to complete by the time the bell rang. Kaname entered the room while Kurz was in the student council room talking to the president. She sat down to the left of Sousuke and watched him.
Sousuke didn't look at her he kept his focus on the screen as he typed. She sighed as she kept her eyes set on him. Sousuke shut the lap top just as the bell rang. He had finished just in time. He looked at Chidori and blinked realizing she was staring at him.
He reached into his pocket pulling the ribbon out that she had given him and holding it out to her. She blinked and shook her head.
"No …you keep it..." She nodded and smiled. He blinked and nodded a little putting it back in his pocket.

Suddenly a voice came over the intercom.
"All students please evacuate the building there has been a bomb threat called in. To ensure your safety we ask that all students please leave the building." Sousuke blinked as he stood up, He wasn't going to leave. He was going to find the bomb if there was one and disarm it. Kaname got up and started to leave the room. Sousuke blinked.

Isn't Kurz supposed to be with her? He thought as he watched her leave.
Kurz ran down the hall way and caught up to Chidori and took her outside. Sousuke waited until everyone left the classroom. He then headed down the hallway towards the lockers, he pulled out a paper clip and picked the locks of each one as fast as he could and searched each one for a bomb. There was nothing so far but there were still 2 hallways to go plus the gym locker rooms. He thoroughly searched each locker quickly getting done with all of the hallway lockers with in 20 minutes. He ran as fast as he could down to the gym locker rooms searching there.

Kaname stood near Kurz outside looking around. She hadn't seen Sousuke come out and she was beginning to get worried as she stared at the doors. She looked around at the students outside one more time, not seeing him anywhere she sighed uneasily. Kurz was watching the doors to the school as well only he wasn't looking for Sousuke he was wondering if there was really a bomb.

Sousuke sighed as he entered the girls locker room immediately going to the lockers opening each one and searching. He blinked as he heard a voice behind him.

"Sagara!" Mrs. Kagurazaka said as she looked at him. Sousuke kept going opening the lockers and searching.
"Yes?" He said as he threw the contents of the lockers on the floor.
"What are you doing? You are supposed to be outside…and you are in the girl's locker room!" She blinked watching him.
"I'm taking necessary actions to ensure the safety of the school…"

Sousuke blinked, it wasn't his mission anymore…it wasn't his job to ensure safety but he felt compelled to it. He needed to do it. He found nothing in the girl's locker room as he walked by Mrs. Kagurazaka in silence heading for the men's locker room. He immediately began opening the lockers in there. Mrs. Kagurazaka left the building after watching him enter the men's locker room. She walked outside.

Kaname's attention was directed at the door when she saw it start to open but she was disappointed seeing it was only her English teacher.

Sousuke opened the 3rd locker hearing a ticking noise he pulled the items out and studied the bomb there were five minutes left until it would detonate and it was digitally counting down. Sousuke pulled a pair of scissors out of his bag and reached in carefully cutting the wires and disabling the bomb. He removed the bomb along with the wires he had cut and started to head outside.

Kaname stared at the door intently, blinking as it started to open again.
"It has to be him…everyone else is out here." She said staring. Kurz sighed and nodded.

Sousuke walked out holding the bomb in his left hand he stood and blinked looking at everyone. "The school is now safe!" He yelled so they all could hear him. Kaname sighed and smiled. Kurz rolled his eyes.
What an idiot…Kaname thought but then she sighed and realized he was just ensuring safety but he had made her worry quite a bit.

"He is so foolish…thinks he is better just because he went and stopped the bomb." Kurz said staring at Sousuke. He had always known Sousuke to do crazy things. He sighed.
Kaname turned to Kurz. How could he say such a thing? Kyoko ran over to Kaname.

"Sousuke is amazing!" She said as she took a picture of him standing there with her digital camera. The teachers talked with each other and the principal and started to send the students back into the school. The principal walked over to Sousuke asking him to come with her.

"Yes Ma'am" He said in response as he followed her.

Kurz made sure Kaname was ok getting back into the English class and sat down next to her. About 20 minutes later Sousuke was returned to class he walked in apologizing for his tardiness and sat down. Kaname watched him and smiled, but yet she wanted to smack him for making her worry. She ran her fingers along the edge of the halisen but she decided not to hurt him. She picked up her pencil and began to write a note to him. Kurz was paying attention as well writing things down. He didn't want to be here but it was what he had to do. Sousuke sighed. Kurz was already doing a bad job. He didn't seem the least bit worried about the bomb threat which would have been a threat to Kaname as well as everyone else.
