Omg guys! Your reviews have been awesome. You're too good to me. Sorry I haven't uploaded anything in a while. I'd like to say that I've been super busy, but sadly I've just been lazy. So guys plz review and tell me how I'm doing, because if I didn't get reviews, I would stop writing. (also if you haven't already please check out my other story.)
So when we last left off the boys were getting into bed and Ayase was wearing big ol' boxers. Lolz lets continue shall we
I awoke the next day by the smell of sulfur and the sound of gunfire. I opened my eyes and shot up. I could see Someya run by my tent, with out a shirt as he attempted to button his pants and load ammunition into a gun at the same time. I, myself wasted no time in grabbing my gun and stepping into my boots as I ran out the tents open door flaps.
Outside was complete chaos. My men were scurrying about with guns and sandbags trying to add more cover. In the distance I saw the enemy. About twenty men were running about. They were from Lamia: A country that we had been at war with for about sixteen years. It wasn't difficult to spot a Lamian solider. They wore bright white uniforms and had light blond hair. In all my fourteen years of fighting in this war I had never seen one without blond hair.
I was shaken from my thoughts when on of the Lamian soldiers started to approach our camp. With out a moments hesitation I brought my gun up and shot him twice in the chest. Jumping down behind a barrier of sandbags I saw the tents start to gain bullet holes. Next to me sat a wounded Gion.
"Are you alright" I said looking at the wound in his right shoulder that he was meekly attempting to wrap.
"Yea I'm fine. What took you so long? We've been at this for twenty minuets already? He said giving me a big grin I just rolled my eyes and scoffed. Turning my head around the side of the sandbag, I could see two rushing forward. I easily took both down. "WOULD SOMEBODY CALL FOR BACK UP GOD DAMMNIT! WE NEED A CHOPPER OVER HERE!" I screamed to my men. I could see Someya fumble with a radio.
"Gion did we get any files regarding a Lamian squad headed our way." I said shooting another enemy. I pulled back as a bullet flew just inches away from my nose.
"No sir. The last report file I got was the on the bombing of Fei, but you scoped out the place yesterday. Wasn't it a ground zero?" He said throwing a sticky grenade towards an oncoming jeep.
"Ye-" I was cut off by the jeep getting blown into pieces behind us. "Yea. No one was left. Except for…." My eyes went wide.
"…Except for what?" Gion said, but I didn't hear him I was already army crawling back to my tent. I had completely forgotten about Ayase. Once I was finally in my tent I stood up. Ayase wasn't in my bed. Perhaps he had been woken up by the gunshots. I quickly searched my ten completely looking for any sign of the boy.
BOOM
My search was cut short by a large explosion. I decided I would look for Ayase later and cautiously left the tent. Out side I could see a large Lamian tank about fifty yards away from our base. Well what's left of the tank any way. The entire side was blown off and it was lying on its side. There is no possible way my men's grenade could have done that, even if they had thrown every grenade in the camp at once. Those tanks were basically death on wheels, but they weren't usually sent into battle, except on rare occasion. I had only ever seen four counting this one. I stood there amazed, as did my troops who were peeking out from behind their barriers. It was as if the entire battle had just stopped, the Lamian troops looked just as bewildered as we did. The quiet scene was soon broken by the sound of a chopper approaching, our air support was here. The Cobra proceeded to wipe out the remaining soldiers and land. Five men approached us from the chopper carrying, medical supplies.
After All my men had been treated and stitched up they were each questioned by the troops about the tank. Apparently none of them had a clue how it happened either. Finally one of the men approached me and saluted.
"At ease"
"Sir, we are very sorry you did not a get a report on this before it happened. The Lamian troops must have built another tunnel system beyond out radars. We will see to it being found and getting closed, but in the meantime I would like you and your men to investigate the reason for a tank being sent all the way out here. My men and I will send the bodies back to Lamia."
"Very well. You are dismissed" The man saluted one more time before taking his men out to clean up the bodies. They left the tank for us though, bloodstains and all.
Lighting a cigarette I sighed. Today had been a complete mess. It was already nearly five and my team had still not been informed of…. "DAMMNIT" I yelled causing my team to turn to me. I had forgotten about Ayase again.
Just then, behind me I heard a small voice say my name. I, along with my team turned to the opening of the mess hall to see Ayase standing in one of my shirts and Someya's black boxers.
"um, Kanou." I ran to the small boy and grabbed his shoulders.
"Hey Kanou why is that boy wearing my underwear" Someya whined. I ignored him.
"Ayase are you alright? Did you get injured during all the gunfire?" said doing a one over of the boy. I didn't see any bullet holes, or blood, or even dirt for that matter.
"um no, I'm fine." Ayase yawned. " I heard the gunshots and hid somewhere behind a tent, then I ended up falling asleep." I sighed with relief.
"Sir, who is this boy?" Misao said leaning down next to me.
"Oh I get it" Gion laughed. "Kanou had a cute little prostitute sent here." He bounded over to Ayase and put his arm around the boy. "Kanou, you can't keep him all to yourself you know. He's too cute for just one person." Ayase looked up at Gion and to every ones surprise; he slapped him, leaving a red mark.
"I'm not a hooker!" He yelled. His voice was shaky and he was trembling a bit, but he held his ground.
Gion touched the red mark on his cheek and took a step back. "Well then who are you." He demanded trying to mask his pain.
"He's the only survivor of Fei," I cut in, standing beside Ayase. "And he's also our guest for the next few weeks. Now you men will act civilized around him or I'll see to it that your filling our paperwork in a desk for the rest of your time in the service. Is that clear?" I said sternly.
"Yes Sir." The men chimed in unison.
"Someya, I need you to get him some clothes." I said in a softer tone. He cant continue to wear my clothes. The queer man's eyes lit up.
"Why thank you sir. I would be honored to dress up this little cutie." He sang taking Ayase by the hand and escorting him out of the tent while I rolled my eyes.
"You three, go set up a shelter around the tank. Get in done before nightfall." I ordered as I left the main tent. Behind me I could here them gathering the poles and tarps. My cigarette had gone out long ago. Throwing it on the ground I walked to my tent and shook off my shows. I then fell onto my bed and proceeded to pass out. It had been a long day.
Wow I'm happy with this chapter. I think this is a good length for the chapters. It feels as though I'm letting you guys have just enough of the story with out making you feel antsy. Two and a half pages. XD!
