Living With You
Day 01
~Risa Arakawa~
General Yagami Hayate walked along the halls of the Metropolitan Police Department –Uminari; greeting officers that passed her with a wave of the hand. After passing by a room, she started hearing groovy beats and started walking in rhythm. She bobbed her head left and right, matching with the shoulder movement.
She passed by Shario Fineo on the grounds as she walked a song definitely playing on her head. She stopped in-front of her and pointed at her with two index fingers, both thumbs pointing upward.
"Hello Gene—"
"I'd catch a grenade for ya~" General Yagami sang and moved her shoulders left and right forward and backward. "Throw my hand on a blade for ya~" She pointed at another passerby and did the same move.
"General?" Shari called to her and General Yagami went back to her. "Are you okay?"
"Man~ That song was so upbeat. Hello Shari-chan." The short haired brunette answered and wiped sweat from her forehead. "Don't forget to go to the Agency, alright?"
"That is where my new assignment is after all." Shari answered as she lifted up her glasses with a finger. "And Fate-san and Nanoha-san are very interesting people."
"Oh, ya? How so? Are they going," Hayate created a heart with her hands and moved it forward and backward like its beating. "already?"
"No, not yet. I do sense strong attractions though." Shari said as she lifted up her glasses again until it shone on the light and hid her eyes. "Lust. I think."
"You have to fill me up on that. Report later." General Yagami said as she saluted. "I need to go now as to a certain Blondie is waiting for me. Later, Shari-chan~" The brunette turned around and said hi to more officers that passed her.
Day 01, 05:04am
A brunette with a lopsided ponytail opened a door from the backside of the large house and descended the three-step stairs in-front of it until she was on the concrete ground. She wore blue jogging pants with white stream like patterns on each side of the leg, partnered with a blue jacket hoodie with the same design. And a white Tee inside the closed top.
Earphones hanging in her ears, connected to her pants' zipped up back pocket. The blue eyes searched around, looking left and right. She eyed the trashcan filled with bulging black bags, a few rectangular trashcans with the same sight. She looked around and found a small orange kitten lying down beside the stairs she just descended from.
It was an orange fur patterned like a tiger. It's lying upward with its paws stretched out on the crook of the stairs. It was around six inches in diameter. A very small kitten, it then shuffled around and curled around like a ball.
Blue eyes curiously looked at it and walked towards it. She kneeled down before it and started poking the exposed and fluffy stomach of the orange kitten. The normally stoic expression on her face changed into a calm one.
"Where's your mom?" the brunette asked the kitten, in a soft and sultry voice. The orange fur ball woke up from its slumber and hissed at the brunette's left finger. "Why are you hissing at me?"
The kitten then softly attacked the stretched finger with her left paw, and pawed at it softly. The brunette smiled at the act. The cute orange thing then lay down on the concrete, and rolled over. The brunette started poking its stomach again as it tried to catch the finger with its all fours and trying to playfully bite them.
"You're so cute." She muttered to herself and played with the kitten. Getting to into the cute feline, she stopped noticing her surroundings.
Unnoticed the door beside the stairs opened softly revealing a half-groggy blonde having a good look at the smiling brunette. Without asking she softly emerged from behind the door, wearing black pants and a black shirt. Surprisingly the brunette did not pay her any attention. She peered over at the corner and saw her playing with the kitten.
Not being able to stop herself, the blonde greeted, "Good morning, Nanoha." The brunette, quite surprised gathered her composure and stood up, leaving the kitten unattended. She turned her back towards the blonde and sighed.
"Morning, Blondie." She said her voice stoic her expression stone, as a light blush flushed on her features. "I'm going for a jog."
Red eyes blinked. Blonde hair swayed to one side, her head tilting to that direction. "Alright, take care."
The two of them engulfed in an awkward atmosphere, it was silent with no cars passing by, the kitten scratching on the cement, and there were just the two of them there, one staring at the other's back.
"You're not coming?" The brunette, obviously in a half-surprised tone asked. Obviously a criminal should not be allowed to wander around the cities alone without a guard on watch.
"Do I need to?" The blonde replied to her in a serious tone. Definitely meaning something with just those four words, the brunette just heaved a sigh and looked to her side. "And besides," The blonde added. She moved forward and showed the blue eyed female her wrapped up left leg which earned her a face palm.
"You're too kind." She told the blonde and then took a step to her left, and jogged away.
Day 01, 05:47AM
"What does she mean?" The blonde sighed and looked at the kitten. She went down the stairs and walked over the kitten. She looked at its cute blue orbs. "You have the same eye color as her, not to mention, almost the same hair color." The blonde chuckled. "Or fur."
She kneeled down before the kitten and neared her right index finger. She drew circles on the air as the small head of the kitty followed it. She then neared the tip of her finger in-between the eyes of the kitten and pushed it until the kitten softly fell on the ground.
The kitten rolled and laid down on its stomach, looking angrily at the finger. "Ah, sorry, sorry." She smiled at the kitten and pets its head. Not being able to resist, she picked up the kitten and pressed it on her chest.
"Where's your mom?" The same question echoed. This time, it echoed a bit of bitterness and sadness. "Did your mom leave you here?" She asked a question. Blonde hair then turned to where the direction the brunette went onto and sat on the stairs.
She looked at the kitten and placed it on her lap. She played with it as it rolled around. "So you're the only thing that can make her smile, furball?"
Day 01, 06:18AM
"Freaking Blondie." The brunette said as her face got stained by a blush again, not having to forget the moment that got her caught smiling at the kitten. "She… didn't have to see that."
She shook her head left and right and ran faster. She rounded up to a corner and encountered an unusual man.
He had dirty blonde hair with green eyes wearing eye glasses. He wore a solid green suit with a white button up collar and a green tie. He wore brown shoes and held his hair with a ponytail. A pet ferret then of almost the same color fur with his hair, with crystal-like green eyes, rounded up to his right shoulder.
"My, if it isn't Ferretcon." The brunette said as she stopped her tracks before him, looking up to him in his tall figure. Sweat trickling down her neck as small strands of hair stick to her neck and to her face and temples.
"Oh, look, a criminal." The man answered and looked at her. The ferret loving boy walked towards her and attempted to tap her shoulder when she took a step backwards. "Hey, hey it's been ten years since we were last together and the name's Yuuno, not Ferretcon."
"And so? That doesn't give you permission to touch me." She answered him and raised one of her hands in-front of her as if shrugging off something. "I was young and stupid."
"You weren't stupid. You were just young, precious and delicious." The man told her and walked towards her again. "Too bad you got caught all too fast."
"You sold me." She told him and glared, fierce. "You're a lolicon and a ferret boy, thus, Ferretcon. Later," She could feel a shiver running up her spine. She had a past with the said man. And there's only one thing clear. She isn't going to share it with anyone.
"Huh?" He glanced at her as she ran past him in a curve turning around to go back to the agency. "You've grown more beautiful." He said and petted his ferret as he walked the opposite direction.
Day 01, 07:15AM
Nanoha Takamachi, completely sweaty from her jog arrived at the backside of the Agency once more and found that the kitten she was playing with wasn't on the side of the stairs.
"She must've been picked up by her mother." Almost hurriedly she climbed the three step stairs and went inside only to find a lazy gray and orange streaked cat lying beside their living room couch. Inside its stomach feeding where three kittens, a pure white one, a black one, and the orange one.
She looked at the group of cats and to the blonde cooking breakfast, back to the cats and the blonde.
"Ah, welcome back." The flaxen haired female answered her ponytail swaying. Wearing tight jeans ready for deployment in job, and an off-shoulder black top as a white apron rests in-front of her.
"Blondie? Why? Cats? House?" The brunette said as she walked towards the living room and the cats. She took her iPod from her back pocket and wrapped her earphones around it, settling it on the living room table. She sat Indian style on the ground and started stroking the orange kitten's fur.
"I watched after the kitten after you left. After a while its mother came back with two more kittens following. The mother cat weren't excreting any milk, so I took them in and feed them." The blonde finished the eggs she was frying and settled them on the dining table. She washed her hands and removed the apron and put it on the cabinet handle hanging above the sink.
Red eyed the sweating brunette and gave her a towel. She sat on the couch space in-front of the kittens and looked over them. The brunette looked over at the blonde and stared on her nape, down to creamy shoulders, and luscious collar bone. She looked at how the off-shoulder top revealed the blonde's plain black bra strap, as the opening in-front of her outfit's chest clearly showed her breasts' cleavage
The brunette sighed and stood up, wiping her sweat off with the towel handed to her. "I'm taking a shower." She uttered and went into the bathroom.
"I wonder if she's okay." The Blonde said and picked up the kittens and the mother cat and laid them on the couch.
The brunette stepped in the shower her long hair covering most of her back side. She slowly turned on the knob until droplets of water appeared and the shower gained power and drizzled on her.
"I could barely…" She hugged herself, and looked up to the shower head. "…contain myself…" She reached her left hand upward as if trying to catch the light from the light bulb. "What are you doing to me?"
Day 01 09:30am
"Oh, Geek Girl, You're early." Nanoha Takamachi extraordinaire said as she sat in the Office couch with the orange kitten. Her feet wearing socks up on the cushion of the couch stretched from one end to another and the feline resting on her lap, playing with her finger. "Diligent, aren't we?"
"Of course, Nanoha-san. I am General Yagami's Chief Intelligence Officer and Head of the R&D after all." She said as she pointed to herself with her right thumb and sat on the front desk table.
"You two act alike, it's freaky." The brunette lifted up her free hand and shrugged off the desk lady and played with the kitten. Just in time when the Blonde emerged from the main house into the office dressed in a plain black shirt and her left leg has its bandage rewrapped. The brunette opened her mouth to say something.
"Are you okay, Fate-san?" But the eyeglass-wearing brunette beat her to it. "You did take bullet wounds yesterday."
"As you can see, I can walk properly. I'm sure I could still take someone out at a moment's notice, so no worries there." Fate Testarossa confidently said and sat on the couch right across Nanoha and the kitten. The black and white kittens had followed the blonde from their house and so did the mother cat.
"How did you suddenly get cats here, Fate-san?" Geek girl asked as she petted the gray mother cat that had went to her feet and snuggled on her leg.
"This morning, I don't know how long they'll stay here though." The blonde answered and smiled. Most probably remembering the memories of this morning, she probably thought that if the cats made the vigilant fugitive soften and smile, she won't mind having them here for a while.
Blue eyes widened as white skin got tainted in pink after her mind had caught up with the blonde's expressions and what she was probably thinking about. She shook her head left and right and started playing with the kitten she was holding again.
The Office then was suddenly subjected to an awkward silence. The brunette then tried saving the comfortable silence she once had and opened her mouth; "Fa—"
The door then suddenly bolted open much to her chagrin, jumping inside, was a person dressed in a cream colored trench coat with black leggings, brown boots and black scarf.
"Where are we going?" The person who went inside said as she positioned both her hands at half a meter distance from her chest, palms facing down fingers apart moving up and down at different timing.
Shario Fineo typically in the visitor's spell, stood up from her chair and did the same gesture, "Shopping~~" She answered. She looked around and saw the staring blonde and brunette. She quickly stood to her feet and saluted, "Good Morning, General Yagami!"
"Gotcha there, Shari-chan~" The short haired brunette said and turned her hands into two thumbs up and faced her two workers. "Hi there~ getting along well?"
(A/N: I totally White Chicks'd there.)
"Just…"
"Fine."
The both of them answered completing each other's sentence. They looked at each other and shrugged. They let each other's gaze linger on each other a bit longer before returning back to their problem; the bob haired brunette.
"General, what brings you here?" Nanoha Takamachi in her professional tone asked and settled down the orange kitten on the floor.
"I came here to talk to Shari-chan, give her your devices and explain how they work, if skill fitting finishes today." She said and signaled for the bespectacled brunette to join her outside the office to discuss the matter in private.
Day 01, 11:47am
"So, a mission." The brunette with glasses said as her spectacles shone on the light that was from the opened door. "You were asked to look for a missing ferret."
"…Goodness." Red eyes opened from being close as it blinked a few times. Fate Testarossa had taken a nap to the whole one hour duration Hayate had kidnapped Shari. "How important is this?"
"Very." The female said as she took the desk again, and opened a keyboard on the desk and a monitor pops out. "General Yagami told me that this relates to large-scale drug smuggling and money embezzlement activities in the city. Apparently a group of men wearing black have been looking for a dirty blonde furred Ferret. This ferret is owned by a well-known information seller called Yuuno Scrya, who has recently lost the said animal. He requested for intervention from the Agency, directly to the General's desk. And as it happens, it was granted."
"But there was just a…" the brunette mumbled to herself. When she noticed that the other two people in the room looked at her, she quickly shrugged. "Nothing. Continue the briefing, Geek Girl."
"So far, there've been sightings of the said ferret in the Uminari Park." She typed up information on the desk and a few photos popped out. "Apparently, children who are frequent visitors of the said park, have seen the ferret and have played with it. They said that the ferret might've taken refuge in the said park, but is yet to be found."
"Do you have any information regarding the men in black chasing this very important parent in our hands?" The blonde asked as she leaned over on the desk and pointed at a part of the monitor. "They look like ordinary men in suits."
"Well, information tells that these men are always on the go in the park. This embezzlement and smuggling information that the ferret carries must be this important after all." Shari answered and pushed her eyeglasses upward. "I've had a talk to Yuuno Scrya-san a while ago, and he told me that, this ferret was with him, as he was about to give the information when it ran away after being scared by a large black cat."
"Idiot…" The brunette muttered to herself again and brought her palms to her face. She felt two pairs of eyes gazing at her again, and shrugged them off once more.
"Who's the big name involved in this embezzlement?" The blonde asked. She was prepared for the answer the female was bringing to her.
"General of the Ground Forces Division, Regius Gaiz."
"Is that information Legit?"
"Only the ferret knows."
The brunette rolled her eyes and sighed. "What a pun."
Day 01, 01:12PM
Dressed in casual outfit, Nanoha Takamachi and Fate Testarossa walked around the said Uminari Park. They looked around not finding signs of any other presence of a human being. Peculiar, since it is a park, it would not be normal if it had no visitors.
"Hello, Fate-san? Nanoha-san? I have received reports that, the men wearing distinct black shades have cleared out the people in the park, to thoroughly search it. However, the Municipal Hall of Uminari did not allow them, so it'd be normal if there are civilians there. Please be careful. They might find you two hostile if they notice that you two seem to be looking for something as well." New Bluetooth headsets in planted as single earrings to the both of them sparked in a minimal sound.
"Alright, thanks for the heads up." Fate said as she looked around and saw the two men who just arrived in the park looking around. She and Nanoha started pacing their walk. In surprise, the brunette suddenly grabbed her left arm and wrapped both of her arms around it. "N-N-Nanoha?"
"If we pretend, they won't find us suspicious." She told her without looking at her face. She glanced at the men in black and then proceeded onto walking forward. "Parks are famous for couples."
Fate's face flushed red as she tried to distract herself by looking at different directions. She noticed one of the shades-wearing-man run after a bush and motioned to his partner that he seemed to have found something.
"Hey! I think it's here." That one man said as he pointed in a hole in the bush and saw a tail run away from it.
The two men chased it towards the inner parts of the park. Blue and Red met; they nodded at each other and ran after the men in black. Upon arriving at the depths, they did not see the men and proceeded to look around.
"You think they got lost?" The brunette asked as she flopped down on a free bench. The blonde took the space at the other end of the bench. "I do think they've notice that we're looking at them though."
"How do you know? It's just normal to have people in that part, right?" The blonde asked and looked at the brunette, who's sitting quite closer to her then she was before.
"We went into the same path they took. We ended up here earlier than them. I think that would be suspicious." The brunette looked to the direction they came from and saw a man in black walking towards them. "We should do something that's not very suspicious."
"Eh? Like?" The red eyed female asked and looked at Nanoha who stood up in-front of her. She suddenly walked up to her, and placed her knees on either side of the blonde's waist, straddling both of her thighs completely. "E-Eh? N-Nanoha?"
The brunette removed her one sided ponytail and let her hair flow, as the air got filled with her melon scented bath cologne. She sat on the furiously blushing blonde's thighs and wrapped her arms around her neck. Sultry blue eyes bore into red, her eyes completely serious. "If we act like, Lovers, they'd likely leave us alone, right?"
"We-well… that's true, but… n-not… this… umm… how do you put…" Fate Testarossa was someone who couldn't refuse anything. "Umm… not this daring…."
"It'll be more effective, right?" The brunette told her, as she reached for Fate's hands and planted them on her behind. She grabbed the blonde's face with both of her arms as she neared her face, and started out a soft kiss on her lips.
"Hmp—Nanoh—hold—" She could not reply. The brunette had closed her eyes, as she completely engulfed the blonde's mouth with her own. Burgundy eyes fluttered open and close as if her mind was being grilled onto a barbeque. Without knowing what to do, she had been returning the kiss since who knows when.
The brunette, opened her mouth and chomped softly on the blonde's upper lip as she braced her front, pressing it to the blonde's breasts, her arms, tightly wrapped around the flaxen female's neck. Her eyes fluttered open as the men in shades passed by them, in a shy blush, continuing their pursuit if a ferret.
She continued her ministrations to the blonde's mouth, as unconscious hands from her behind started to move upward inside her shirt. Her mind was screaming for a moan, but she knew that she couldn't do that. Not because of the blonde, not out there in the park, not to anyone. Because it's a sign of submission, she quickly withdrew her mouth from the hungry blonde, as she took her hands from her shirt and settled them down on the bench. A trail of saliva trickled from their mouths. She licked it out of the way and gave the blonde a chaste kiss.
"I'll continue that someday when we're not on a mission, hungry blondie." She said and stood from the blonde's thighs and quickly walked away.
The blonde blinked once, twice, thrice, four times. She forgot what was happening, but she knew of one thing that kept on consistently happening, "She was shaking…" She held onto her the whole time they were kissing. "But she was shaking…"
She moved her head left and right, vigorously trying to forget the intimate moment that she should've rejected and forgot everything else that went with it. "Focus! Fate! Focus!" She slapped herself with her both hands and followed the brunette in pursuit of a ferret. "Nanoha!"
The brunette quickly stiffened. Flashbacks of the previous hot steamy kiss scene right there at the park with an audience flashed onto her mind. She shook her head left and right and tightened her closed fists. She closed her eyes tight and opened them slowly; she glared at the ground and held on to her fists tighter, until her shaking subsides. "It's not the time for this…" She turned to look at the flaxen female, whose face was still red. "Blondie, let's go. The ferret's getting away."
She was turning to walk forward when she saw familiar feet right in-front of her. "Hi there. I already caught my ferret." The bearer of the familiar feet said and she looked up at him, taking two steps backward. "That was quite a show, Takamachi. A good one."
"Mind your own business." She told him and gritted her teeth. The blonde from behind her took two steps forward and scrutinized the man before them. "So are we done now?"
"Isn't that too fast?" Suspicious red eyes looked at the man and scratched her head. "What are we sent here for?" She said and put her weight on one of her legs.
"Sorry about that. I'll just relay the message to General Yagami. Thank you for your help." The dirty blonde man said and extended a hand. "My name's Yuuno Scrya. Nice to meet you." Fate took his hand but was surprised to find him kneel down and kiss the back of her palms. She quickly withdrew them from his hands and shrugged it like some dirt got on it. "See you two again, soon."
"Hopefully not." The brunette said as blue eyes rolled and landed on the red eyed blonde. She was about to open her mouth but quickly clammed up for some reason. "L-Let's go home." She almost wanted to smack herself for stuttering on a simple sentence, but she simply shrugged it off by walking away.
The blonde looked at her disappearing figure and tilted her head on one side. "Eh?"
Day 01 08:08PM
"If I were a booooyyy~~~ There would be one less lonely girl~" Yagami Hayate sang in a mistune as she sat on a balled computer chair as she spun around with her right arm raised on the air. An all too familiar brunette wearing a white worn down polo shirt with short shorts under it stood near her with the orange kitten walking around her one leg and a blonde wearing a black night gown sat on the couch as the mother cat lied down on her thigh in a deep sleep with the other two kittens.
"You just… mixed lyrics didn't you?" Burgundy eyes looked at her in confusion and then back to the kittens.
"I wouldn't want Justin B. to become the next Madonna." The brunette shrugged and rolled her eyes. "So why are you here in the first place?"
The short haired brunette stopped spinning on the computer chair right at the middle of the living room and looked at her seriously, with a frown on her face.
"To brief you about gearsXchange, and why you would have to need to use them soon."
