Chapter 6- One Tall, One Small

Nene walked out from her job as a dispatcher for the AD police, and noticed that Linna was waiting for her with a agitated expression on her face. Nene sighed to herself, she really didn't want to talk to her teammate just yet.

"Nene? I think we need to talk." the older woman said, as she approached the blonde.

"Look, if it's about you and Sylia, let's wait. I'm not in the mood to discuss that right now!" the younger woman told her.

"Actually, I was meaning to talk to you about that but that is not why I stopped by." The brown-haired woman told her.

"Then why did you stop by?" Nene asked, wishing she would hurry it up.

Linna looked at the ground. "Sylia wants to replace Priss and also add another new recruit to the Knight Sabers." she said sadly.

"Huh? I don't know why! It's not like we are crawling with rogue boomer's anymore! It has been what...four months since we took down that small one- just you and I! The only reason we had to do it was because Leon was in the hospital with his broken leg and Daley was sick!" the blonde argued.

"I know, I told Sylia the same thing." her friend said, looking at her sadly.

"Well, you have the most...shall we say...input with her. So you must have talked her out of it. Right?" the small woman said, as she held her hand up for emphasis.

"No, She threatened to kick me off the team! We had a little fight about it. Everything was going so beautifully and then this! I ended up just leaving. I guess that was a pretty short relationship. Oh well, it lasted a bit longer than Priss, I guess." Linna laughed a bitter laugh.

"I'm sorry, but you should have known that Sylia has never been the most stable person. Remember how she keep all those secrets from us? Especially the big one about who Galatea was? Poor Mackey, he loves his sister so much. But she didn't treat him right at first. Nigel was really the one who bonded with him and made him feel useful. It was only after we almost lost Mackey and after she married Nigel did she change her ways." the blonde explained to her friend.

"Nene, I think you are too being hard on Sylia. She was trying to protect us and the world too. Her father did unspeakable things to her. She was used in the worst way. She was just like an experiment to him! She has a past I don't know if I could live with. I knew she was tormented back then and I know she still is today. But she still keeps on trying despite Nigel's death and the whole Galatea mess. She feels responsible for Priss's death. I have been her close friend for this past year and I know she loves her brother. She loves that you love Mackey. She is so glad that he has someone who loves him and treats him just like anyone else." The older woman told her friend gently.

"Oh...well.. It makes me feel better that Sylia actually approves of us. I was wondering if she really did. She's always nice enough to me if we aren't fighting over something. We just don't always see eye to eye but I try to get along with her for his sake." the blonde girl said.

"Well, I just wanted to stop and tell you what Sylia is planning. I am sure she will mention it to you when you go to see him and I am probably staying away for a few days, or until she apologizes to me for threatening to kick me off the team. I don't know when I'll see you again." The brown-haired woman told her, a bit sadly.

"Linna, I am sorry for being so mean to you. I was just shocked that you and Sylia were together. I wasn't sure you were that way...except the Priss thing. Then to find out Mackey's sister was like that too.." Nene trailed off.

"What is so bad about it? Is it that disgusting? I don't want to be thought of like that. I can't help what my heart wants. I can't explain it. It's like you love Mackey but is he really real? You said that to you he was human. But would other people agree? Probably not. Would thatchange your mind? No, you would still love him because he's
who your heart wants. It's the same way with me and Sylia, and how it was with me and Priss. I hope you will accept me as I am and still be my friend. We were naked on that island for 3 weeks and I never had one kinky or impure thought about you!" Linna said firmly to her blonde friend.

Nene blushed as she thought over the words of her friend. "You are right. I shouldn't judge you like I have. It's just that I'm not used to it even though I should be by now. I don't think you are disgusting or wrong. And you are right, most people would never understand my relationship with Mackey. Sometimes I don't either. But like you said he is who I want." the blonde looked over at her friend and smiled. "No one ever said love was gonna be easy, did they?"

"They sure didn't." Linna laughed, as she and Nene shared a hug.

The Silky Doll- 4:45 pm- Tokyo

Sylia sighed to herself as she straightened her racks and waited for customers to enter her shop. She had had a big surge of customers around lunch time. They were mainly business woman who stopped by to shop on their lunch break and Sylia was glad to stay busy so she could keep her mind off the fight she had had with her lover. The woman was so hard headed! Sylia didn't know if she was upset over Priss again since she told her she was going to look for a replacement, since the singer obviously wasn't coming back. She just didn't expect Linna to get so upset. The fight ended with Sylia screaming at Linna and threatening to kick her off the team. Linna called her a 'Bitch' and left. What a way to end the time they had had together. Oh well...hopefully Linna would come and apologize to her.

Around that time, Nene walked into the shop. She noticed Sylia looked a little down.(I guess because of her fight with Linna). She decided she wasn't going to mention anything about either.

"Hi, Sylia, I'm just on my way to see Mackey for awhile and wanted to say hello to you." the blonde said pleasantly. She noticed that Sylia's attention suddenly focused on two women coming into the shop.

Both were striking in appearance. One was model tall, with pale skin, blunt cut black hair, and light blue eyes. She was dressed in black leather jeans, black top, and black boots. Her companion was a girl just a bit taller than Nene. She had blonde hair and green eyes. Her hair was long and hung lose down her back. She was dressed in jeans, and a black t-shirt with combat boots. They both seemed to be speaking in English, the blonde girl's had a slight drawl to it. Sylia smiled at them and asked in her best English if they needed help. The tall black haired woman answered her back in Japanese.

"Thank you, but we are just looking." she said, pleasantly, in a voice with a English accent.

"Where are you from?" Sylia asked the tall woman again. (She looks like Priss!) she thought to herself.

"I'm originally from London, but my friend and I have just moved to Japan." she explained.

"Regan, do you like this? I wonder if it will fit me?" Nene heard the blond girl ask her friend and noticed the girl had a thick Southern American accent.

Nene who spoke good English, asked the green eyed girl where she was from.

"I'm from the Usa. I lived in Tennessee before I moved here. I am here for training." she replied.

"Really? What are you training for?" the blonde asked curiously.

"Martial arts." she said simply, leaving the blonde to wonder if there was more to it than that.

"My friend is going to be the new singer of this band in town. They had placed a ad in a magazine she reads and she decided to come and try out. She's replacing the old singer who just up and vanished." The girl told Nene who told Sylia in Japanese.

Sylia and Nene exchanged a look. "The name of the band wouldn't happen to be Seikira, would it?" Nene asked slowly.

Both woman looked at her. "How did you know?" the tall, English woman asked in surprise.

Chapter 7- Double Vision

A/n-

Thanks to Ricadonna for answering my questions about Mackey, that helped a lot! I have never seen Blade Runner all the way through. I am going to have to watch it. I do remember Daryl Hannah looked real good in it, as well as Harrison Ford. I am trying:)
