Title:Agents of the TSAB.
Chapter 5
Disclaimer:I do not own MGLN, but I do own the plot of this story. There is a plot in there somewhere, I promise.
Nanoha's POV:
"We should leave." Fate-chan said as she walked out of her room fully dressed for work. I was sitting on the new ,extremely comfortable, couch. She held a bottle of water in one hand and a handful of pills in the other. When she saw me looking at the pills she smiled and said. "They are vitamins." She then tossed the pills into her mouth and swallowed them with a drink of water.
"Oh." I stood up and glance at the clock on the wall. It read 7:15 there was about two hours until Yunno's flight. "Do you always leave this early?" We don't have to be at work until 8 and it only takes ten minutes to get there from here.
"No, but I have a stop to make before we go to work and I was going to take you with me." She said as she made her way to the door. "Unless you don't want to come."
"No, I'll come." I said as I stood next to her and put my shoes on. "Where are we going?"
"Shouldn't you ask that question before you say that you will go somewhere?" Fate-chan said with a smile as she locked the door behind us.
"Usually but I don't think that you would take me anywhere dangerous. I trust you." I said honestly.
"Then you don't know me very well." Fate-chan said as we made our way down the rickety stairs carefully avoiding the rusting spots. "I'm not the kind of person that you should trust so easily."
I looked over at her once we hit the side walk and smiled when her red eyes met mine. "I don't think that's true. The Fate-chan that I see everyday is a kind and trustworthy person." I said with certainty. I don't know how I can say that about someone that I have only known for a week but I can feel in my heart that it is true.
"Whatever." She grumbled as she turned her face away from me but before she looked completely away I saw a light blush dusting her cheeks. "We should hurry I told Arf that I would be there at seven thirty." She began to speed walk down the side walk and I had to jog to catch up.
"You never did answer my first question. Where are we going?" I asked again once I had caught up to her. There were very few people on the streets and the ones that were out were still in the process of waking up, so it was fairly easy walking side by side down the sidewalk.
"We are going to see one of my old friends." Fate-chan turned onto a small side street the I have never been on before. It was small, dark and looked like something you would see in a scary movie. There was a group people standing around carrying weapons, they kept a close eye on us as we walked by and once we were directly in front of them the one of them called called out.
"What are you lady's doing here?" The one that spoke to us stepped out of the group and walked over to us. He was a very large muscular man with a deep scar running across his face. His muddy brown eyes watched us with a intensity that I didn't think anyone other than Fate-chan could have.
"We are here to see Arf." Fate-chan said meeting his gaze evenly.
I looked around to see that the group of me that had previously been far away were now surrounding us. I tensed in preparation for a fight. With another glance I counted seven men and they were carrying various weapons. The weapons ranged from knives to bats and they didn't seem to have anything more high tech that a small blade they were just your average thugs.
"Arf?" He glanced over us again and laughed. "What would Agents of the TSAB want with her?" I looked down at our clothes and internally groaned. We were both wearing our badges which is never a good thing when you plan on going to the shadier parts of town. Fate-chan should have known that or she should have warned me that we were going to be here.
"We aren't here for the TSAB," Fate-chan said with a smirk. "If we were I would have kicked your ass already." Fate-chan discreetly moved her self into a defensive stance. " Now it's still early and I don't want to be late, I told Arf that I would be at her place at 7:30." She glanced down at here watch. "It's 7:25 right now. So you have two options get the hell out of our way or I am going to make you wish you did."
This caused the other men in the circle to laugh. "What is a little thing like you going to do. You look like you sit behind a desk all day doing paper work." He chuckled and Fate-chan sighed.
"That wasn't one of your choices." She said before her fist shot out, it came in contact with his face and the crunch seemed to echo around us. He hit the ground a few seconds later with a thud.. " You had only two options and you took too long so I chose for you." Was the last thing she said before all hell broke loose.
I turned to the nearest guy and sent a kick to his gut, then quickly ducked under the bat that one of his friends swung at me. Once the bat was over my head my hand shot out and grabbed the wrist that he was holding the bat in, and I twisted it violently. With a pain filled grunt he released the bat and it hit the ground with a resounding thud. I looked over to see that the first boy was still down and didn't seem to be getting up.
I guess I kicked him harder than I thought. I could hear the sounds of fighting behind me as I turned to face the guy I had my grip on
"You bitch!" He growled as he tried to pull his hand out of my grip. My left eye twitched at the insult and I twisted his wrist until I heard a snap and he screamed. In a moment of agony his free hand shot out in an attempt to punch me, I caught the punch and then let go of both of his arms. With one quick motion my fist was imbedded in his gut. I watched his eyes roll into the back of his head before he fell to the ground.
Man, this would be so much easier if I wasn't wearing a skirt and heels.
I heard the sound of a knife cutting through air and I turned quickly but even as I turned I knew that I would be too late to stop it. The knife was about six inches from my face when it suddenly stopped and the boy fell to the ground. In his place Fate-chan stood there looking at me worriedly.
"Are you okay?" She asked. Her wine colored pools grazed over my body looking for wounds. "I know that hand to hand combat isn't your thing but those guys had it coming." I looked around and saw that all of the men had be taken out and were lying on the ground in various positions.
I pouted. "I'm fine. I'm not that bad at hand to hand combat. It's just not my specialty."
"I'm glad that your okay." She said with a smile.
"Thank you, for helping me." If she hadn't got over here quick enough I would have been hurt and it is so much better to not start the day with a knife wound to the face.
"That's what partners are for, and it is kind of my fault for getting you involved in the first place."She said with a frown. "I'm sorry."
"It was not a problem really." I said with a shrug. "Shouldn't we go and meet this friend of yours?"
She glanced down at her watch and sighed. "Well we are late." We left the men were that were and made our way to the other end of the street where a few apartment complexes stood. Fate-chan stopped in front of one called the Dog House. It was a one floor apartment building shaped like a fire hydrant that had once been red and was now more of a faded rust color. It had ten apartments and it seemed to be in good condition apart from the paint job.
Fate-chan walked to the room labeled 101 and knocked. After about a moment of waiting the door opened to revile a woman. She was a few inches shorter than Fate-chan and had long copper colored hair that was hanging freely. She was wearing jean shorts and a white tee-shirt with a black paw print on the front of it for design.
Her blue eyes lit up and a huge dog like grin formed on her face when she got a good look at Fate-chan. "Fate, where in hells name have you been?" She asked as she pulled Fate-chan into an enthusiastic hug. "It has been three years now."
"I had some things to take care of." Fate-chan said as she returned the hug with a little less enthusiasm.
"Here let me get a good look at you." The woman pulled back and held Fate-chan at arms length. She looked her up and down from head to toe. "Well your still as sexy as I remember." She then glanced over at me. "And who is your cute little friend?"
"Arf this is Nanoha, and Nanoha this is Arf." Fate-chan said as she pulled out of Arf-san's grasp.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." I said with a quick bow.
"It nice to meet you too." She said with a grin. "So are you Fates girlfriend?"
"No, I am her partner." I said with a slight blush.
"Oh, I see." Arf-san said with a smile. "Well why don't you two come in?"
"We cant." Fate-chan said with a smile. "We have to get to work but I thought that we should at least tell you that we took out some of your guys. They are in the street unconscious."
Those where her guys. Just what kind of person is Arf-san?
"Damn it Fate!" Arf-san glared at us. "Why do you always do that, do you know how much money I have had to waste because you injured my guards. And you!" She said rounding on me. "You helped her. Whats wrong with you people, do you have to start a fight wherever you go!"
"They started it." I said in our defense. Guards?
"Sure they did..." She started when Fate-chan interrupted.
"Oh look at the time." Fate-chan grabbed my arm and pulled me with her as she walked backwards. "I will see you later Arf. Have a nice day." She called over her shoulder as we walked away from a fuming Arf-san.
"Well some things never change." Fate-chan said with a smile as she let go of my arm.
"What do you mean?" I asked as we made our way towards our work place.
"When I was younger Arf loved to yell at me like that." Fate-chan said with a large smile.
"Oh and what did you do to deserve to be yelled at?"
"Nothing much." Fate-chan said with a innocent look in my direction.
"Right." I said while she smirked.
"I'll tell you a secret." She said as she gestured for me to come closer. I walked until I was close enough for her to speak quietly without anyone over hearing.
"Okay, lets hear this secret." I said with a smile.
She leaned in until I could feel her warm breath caressing my ear. "I'm a bad girl." She whispered in to my ear. I shivered when she blew into my ear and pulled away.
Processing... Processing... Done! Initiating perverted thoughts. An light blush spread across my face when I looked into mischievous red eyes.
"You are the only one who knows so don't tell." She said with a wink.
"Fate-chan!"
She only laughed and checked her watch. "We better hurry, is almost 8"
I was about to say something when my phone rang. I pulled it out of my pockets and answered. "Nanoha here."
"Hey, Nanoha-chan." Hayate-chan said in a cheerful voice. "It's about five till and you aren't here. So I am guessing that you are going to be late."
"No, Fate-chan and I are right around the corner." Fate-chan gave me a questioning look and I mouthed Hayate-chan to her. She nodded and kept walking. "Oh and thanks for not telling me that I had a room mate."
"It completely slipped my mind."
"Yeah, I'm sure It did."
"Well anyway, I have an assignment for you and your partner."
"Really?" I asked excitedly. I looked up to see the TSAB building right in front of me. Fate-chan stood in front of the door waiting for me.
"Yeah, I'll tell you about it when you get here. Come to my office, I'll see you in a minute." She said before she hung up.
"What did Hayate want?" Fate-chan asked as we walked into the building.
"She said that we have a mission and that we are supposed to go straight to her office."
Inside Hayate's office.
The first thing you see when you walk into Hayate-chan's office is her large mahogany desk. It sits in the center of the room and it takes up about half of the space of the small room. The next thing you notice are the huge book shelves that line the walls, all four walls of her office are covered by book shelves. They even cover up her only window.
The shelves are crammed with all manner of books, that range from cook books to books on combat. She even has books on her desk, they line both sides of the large desk. But the most prominent feature of Hayate-chans office isn't her books or her desk, it is the small robot Rein that works here. Rein has her own small desk that sits atop of Hayate-chans, she is the one who keeps up with the bases day to day operations.
"Hi." The small humanoid robot called from atop one of the book shelves. She smiled warmly before she hoped down and landed on Hayate-chans shoulder. "Welcome to our office." The little gray haired girl said with a bow.
"How are you Rein?" I asked her with a grin.
"I am doing well, Nanoha-san." She answered cheerfully.
"That's good." Rein is both Hayate-chans secretary and her weapon.
"It's good to see that you made it on time." Hayate-chan said with a smile. She was sitting behind her desk doing some paperwork.
"I'm always here on time." I just get here at the last minute.
" Sure, you are." She said finally looking up from her paper work.
"So what is our assignment?" Fate-chan asked.
Hayate-chan folded her hands on her desk and said. " It's an escort mission."
"Who are we escorting?" I asked.
"Her name is Caro Lushe, she is twelve years old. Her father is in the running to be the next governor of Tokyo." Hayate-chan said with a frown. "She wants to meet up with her father before his next campaign speech. You will stay with her untill the speech is over."
"Okay, so when is his next speech?" I asked.
"In about five hours." Hayate-chan answered.
"Wait, what?" Fate-chan said with an incredulous look.
"It was a last minute thing. They just got in contact with us an hour ago and said that they needed people to escort her." Hayate-chan sighed. "Since her father is only running for governor the government wont give her special transportation, so they called us."
"They cant just expect us to be ready for this with only an hours notice." I said angrily.
"They can and they do." Hayate-chan pulled a case out of one of her draws and slid it across the table until it sat in front of us. " There are a few special requests for this assignment."
"Great not only do they want help on short notice, but they have special requests too." Fate-chan said with an annoyed flick of her hair.
"Think of it this way, if he becomes governor we will get more funding." Hayate-chan said with a smirk.
"Whatever." Fate-chan looked at Hayate-chan expectantly. "So what are the requests?"
"No killing, and you will have to pose as the girls cousins." Hayate-chan made a gesture to the case at the foot of her desk. "Since I can grant you permission to use Bardiche and Raging Heart on this mission I have put alternative weapons in there."
"Alternative weapons?" I reached over and opened up the case. In side there was a small foot long pole with a button on the center of it and a tranquilizer hand gun with several packs of ammunition.
"The gun is for you Nanoha-chan and the small pole is for you Fate-chan." Fate-chan pulled the pole out of the case and pressed the button. Once she hit the button the metal pole extended until it was about for feet in length. Both ends were blunt and it was about an inch and a half thick.
"Oh yes, I am going to strike fear into the hearts of people every where with this stick." Fate-chan said sarcastically.
"Don't worry if they aren't trembling in fear once they see you, I'll come out with my tranquilizer gun. Then they'll wet themselves in fear." She smiled in my direction and gave a light laugh.
"While I doubt you will have to use those, make sure you don't kill anyone." Hayate-chan said with a sigh. "Keep in mind you are supposed to be her cousins, make sure you act like a family. Don't forget to change into civilian clothes. "
"Okay, when and where are we supposed to meet her?" I asked.
"You will be meeting her at 11:30 in her hotel room. She is staying at the Grand D hotel in room 205. Rein will you get the key to the mustang?" Hayate-chan asked.
"Sure." Rein hopped off of Hayate-chans shoulder and walked over to a small shelve that held all sorts of keys. After a moment of searching she pulled out a set of keys and handed them Hayate-chan.
"Here." Hayate-chan tossed the keys to Fate-chan. "You can take the mustang. I think that's everything, so you're dismissed."As we turned to leave Hayate-chan called out. "Oh, I almost forgot. I want you to drop Yunno-kun off at the airport before you go to see your client."
I blinked. I had completely forgotten that Yunno was supposed to leave today. "Okay. We will." I answered.
In this chapter I posted my first ever attempt at something action-y. I am going to learn how to write action better but this is the best I can do for now. It probable makes you wonder why I would write a story that involved action but I don't know why I did. Also I don't know if the real Japan has a election for a governor but in my Japan they do. This is my AU so my word is law, I guess. School is killing me so my update will not be very often, sorry. My grades come before everything else.
I want to give a big thanks to everyone who has reviewed. You guys are great for putting up with all of my typo's. I probably wouldn't have written this chapter if it wasn't for all of the reviews, so thanks.
So what did you think of this chapter was it good or was it the worse thing you have ever read? If it was bad please tell me why, it helps me to know so that I don't make the same mistake in the future. I am actually kind of scared to read the reviews for this story.
Thanks for reading.
