Emiri took her seat to the left of Sousuke and stared out the window. Kaname had pulled him aside after they entered Jindai High. Emiri just continued to walk and told him they could talk later. So here she was, sitting by herself looking at the fluffy clouds rolling across the sky.

"What do you require, Chidori?"

The blue-haired girl stood tall, but silent.

"Kaname?"

She took a huge breath and wiped the growing pools of water off her face. She glared up at him with those huge, chocolate eyes and said, "How dare you leave Emiri for months and not even call! She was worried sick about you, idiot! She even came to me, and I hated her! The only reason we became friends was because we had the same experience of you leaving us alone! She killed for you, Sergeant Stupid!" Kaname whacked him over the head with her harisen.

"Ow…" Sousuke paused for a brief moment, thinking about what Kaname had said. "Did you just say that Emiri killed some one? I find that completely and totally false-"

"Sousuke, SHUT-UP!" She hit him again, harder this time. "We were attacked and kidnapped, then Emiri killed every one of those terrorists without your help! I was there, I saw it with my own eyes! She told me after we were home that the only reason she did it was so she could see your face when you returned. And I heard you didn't say anything to her at all! I heard that you came in, hit her head on the floor and went to sleep! Really, Sousuke?" She held the harisen above his head threateningly.

Sousuke braced himself for impact, then when he didn't receive punishment, he dropped his arms and looked to her. Kaname was crying hysterically, the tears already pooling on the floor. Sousuke didn't move from his place; he squared his shoulders and looked straight at her. "Kaname, why are you crying?"

"Because you left me again, you jerk!" She showed her teeth, the tears still flying. She hit him with her left fist. There was no power in the blow. "Do you have any idea how scared I was? Do you? Emiri was trained; she was prepared for everything, she was completely together! If she wouldn't have been there, who knows what would have happened to me! I NEED you!" She drew up to him, and threw her arms around his shoulders, pulling in as close as possible.

Sousuke did not move at first, but eventually his arms made their way around the small of her back. He held her close, and spoke slowly. "I will never leave you. Not again, not ever. I need you, too. I missed you, Kaname." The words were heavy in the dead silence behind the stairs.

Emiri was whistling Tomorrow as her feet hit the stairs, moving slowly at first. When she heard Sousuke's voice, she slowed even more, and turned her feet so they would make no sound as she descended. Even one slip up, and her cover would be blown. This was a trained Sergeant after all. She heard Kaname talk about his absence and that she had been kidnapped. Sousuke gave a flat answer, then Kaname started crying and whining about how he left her. Emiri stopped in her tracks as she hugged him, soaking his uniform. She gasped silently as he hugged her back and told her he missed her.

Sousuke whipped his head around, staring up the stairs. Kaname opened her mouth, and her voice was frail, "What's wrong Sousuke?"

"Stay here." Sousuke whipped the pistol out of his pants and ran to the side of the stairs. He scoped it out with the tip of the pistol, then relaxed when he saw nothing. He stepped back toward Kaname and slowly put away his weapon. She cuddled back against him.

Emiri stepped back down the stairwell and stared, her heart slowly wilting. She frowned, and almost cried herself. He was such a liar; he said he didn't have feelings for her. Emiri cut herself off; she knew Sousuke. He didn't really have feelings for her, he just wanted to protect her. Emiri would not jump to conclusions. She smiled at the thought of Sousuke.

Stepping away without a sound, Emiri twirled down the hallway. She continued her tune where she left off.

The ring of the bell brought Kaname back to her senses. She pushed away from Sousuke and ran towards the classroom, him following in close pursuit.

"Kaname, would you like to meet me at the noodle shop just down the road from the school?"

She didn't stop to think about Emiri and immediately answered, "I'd love that!"

When Kaname and Sousuke sat in their seats, Sousuke leaned across the row and kissed Emiri's cheek. She fell out of her daydreaming and gasped at his show of affection. She turned her head and smiled at him. He laughed a little at her red face.

The homeroom teacher tapped the board with her fingers and all the students stood up as usual.

Lunch came quickly, though Emiri found herself eating with only Sousuke on the roof of the school. He fumbling around in his pack for his usual military lunch. Emiri was nibbling on her ham sandwich with cheese.

When he pulled out the wrapped package, Emiri looked up. He pulled out five strips of clean cut beef jerky. Emiri's eyes lit up.

"Sousuke, can I PLEASE have one? I'll, I'll trade you for, um…" Emiri looked at her lunch. Half eaten sandwich and a water bottle. She pulled at the sandwich on both sides, then stopped as she got an idea. "If you could have your way with me, what would you want?"

Sousuke had swallowed one strip already. He lowered the next strip from his face as she spoke. He looked at her with wide eyes and laid the strip with the others on the opened paper. He slowly made his way to her, and made her lay her sandwich down. He intertwined his fingers with her and kissed her.

Emiri's eyes fluttered shut as the sergeant's tongue made its way into her mouth. She leaned her head sideways as he held it to his mouth. His other hand travelled lower onto her chest. She made a small noise and pushed away from him, remembering the morning. Her eyes focused on the ground.

"Sousuke, you're such a pig!" She glared back at him with a pure hatred tint. Emiri snatched up her sandwich and bottled water. She stood up quickly, then thought about his true intentions. She looked back to him, then her eyes hit the floor and she sank to the ground. "Sorry, I was just thinking about…"

Sousuke finally spoke, "About what?"

"It's nothing, please disregard that." Emiri pulled closer to him, dropping her lunch. She sunk her fingers into his uniform and cuddled close to him. She spoke to re-assure herself, "I trust you."

"It's not a problem. I am glad." Sousuke held her back, pushing her into his lap. "I believe in you. I knew you would be fine by yourself, I knew you were strong. And still are."

"I was lost without you, you know. I may have been tough, but it was only because I had to see you. I couldn't die without seeing you again. The thought fueled my actions; I killed all of them." Emiri's eyes were dark, and her tone was cool and even. "I never thought I would have to kill, but then I understood you. I know killing is hard, even when it is the worst enemy. Even when they just had their hands glued to your throat five minutes ago, it's hard. I learned why it's so hard for you to show emotions; they just get in the way of your job. I learned why it's hard for you to trust some one enough to even frown at them. I know, Sousuke."

He thought about her words; he remembered why he had fallen for her. She knew the real him; not the fake high school student he pretended to be. That was the side Kaname loved; not the real Sousuke. Emiri loved him for his gentleness, for his skills, his nature, and even for his very existence. He amazed her; he could pilot that awe-inspiring machine and he could load a double barrel shotgun in under 3 seconds. He showed his feelings to the ones important to him, and Emiri was glad she was on that list. Sousuke smiled gingerly at her, and kissed her cheek lovingly. He rubbed his nose across hers and smiled wide. She giggled back at him.

Bringing his arms around, Sousuke tickled her stomach. Emiri laughed and tickled under his arms. He didn't react at first, then burst out laughing and rolled away from her. She crawled after him and tickled across his stomach, sending him flailing with laughter. He swerved forward and grabbed Emiri, slipping off her shoe. He tickled her foot with no remorse and watched her squirm. She grabbed his face and kissed on it as she laughed. His hands came away from her feet to caress her face as he returned the kisses. She pushed his chest playfully, and laughing she jumped up away from him. As she jogged to the door, Sousuke jumped up as well, chasing her. He snatched her wrist and turned her around just as they reached the door. He pushed her against the wall next to the door and kissed all over her. Emiri laughed as he did, and his hands came up to grip her shoulders. As the kisses became slower, Emiri tried to return some of them. He stopped as she dragged her tongue across his face into his mouth. His body wiggled as her fingers danced across his back. Emiri's leg came up and wiped down the back of Sousuke's legs. His hands came down to grip her firm cheeks just above her thighs. He pushed her back against the wall, lifting her some. Emiri laced her arms around his neck and leaned her head against his collarbone.

Her breath was warm and even on his writhing skin. "Sousuke…please…"

Sousuke thought for a moment, but he didn't understand the meaning of her words. Was she asking him to go farther? Or was she asking him not to? He leaned his head to touch hers, his chin resting peacefully. "I won't remove your clothing."

Emiri nodded, her head still pressed close to his neck. "I want what you want, then." She opened her mouth slightly and playfully nipped his neck.

This little action made something snap, and Sousuke held her with one arm against the wall. He unzipped his pants and pulled out his throbbing member. He pushed up close to her, holding her to him with both arms now; one on her hip and the other around her back. Emiri looked down to his crotch, as she watched this new part of Sousuke squirm close to her body. She brought an arm down from his back and laid her hand over his crotch. Sousuke breathed heavily once at the sudden contact. Playing with it, Emiri cupped her hand around the length and pumped up and down slowly at first. Sousuke let out another breath he didn't know he was holding as she sped up. Suddenly, Sousuke began bucking his hips against her hand. His mouth lay agape over her head, hot breaths landing on her hair. She was watching his crotch intently with each new action to try and figure out what he liked. She took her hand off the length, and slowly slid her finger down the side. The thing jumped under her touch, and with it, Sousuke let out a raspy breath. As she touched all her fingers to the tip, he brought his head down to kiss the top of her head, nibbling a little. She traced all her fingers down the sides of his member, then over his whole package. Her hand landed square in between his legs as she massaged the two dangling things. They were kind of squishy in her hands, and she could feel the skin on his legs quiver. She brought her slender hand around his package, tracing her fingers lightly over the skin around the member. Sousuke bucked his hips against her vigorously once she trailed over the skin above his member. Emiri made a little sound of joy at his aggression, even though the leadership lasted only a few seconds.

"Can you hold me up?" She looked up to him with large round eyes. Sousuke only nodded and held her up off the ground. Emiri wrapped her legs around his back and rocked her hips against his crotch. Sousuke leaned down into her, and gave her a deep kiss as he moved his hips in motion with hers, him pushing forward, then her pushing forward. Sousuke pulled out of the kiss quickly, and he grunted in satisfaction. Though this wasn't the real thing, he was feeling extreme pleasure. Grasping her hips, he pulled her down onto him, thrusting against her as his member pushed against the thin fabric of her underwear. Emiri groaned against him, pressing her head to his collar.

The strength of his hips was inevitable; he pushed hard against her. His length was half way into her, even with her underwear. She seemed to mewl into his uniform, and he was clenching his teeth to keep from growling out of pleasure. Emiri dug her fingers into his shoulders for only a moment, until his cock buried deep inside her. It was at least a foot long, if not longer. Her underwear pulled all the way with it, causing it to pull against her other hole. Liquid spilled from her lips, covering his member and the inside of his pants. Sousuke pulled her face up only to bury his tongue in it as he thrust extremely fast in and out of her. Her underwear snapped, but she didn't care. Emiri groaned at the sudden burst of power, as it hurt a little. As their tongues and hips danced, they fell into each other. Her hands travelled through his hair quickly, her gestures only speeding him closer to the edge. When she thought he was at his peak speed, he pulled all the way out of her, only to push his way right back in with such ferocity, Emiri thought she would faint of pleasure. He was even faster than before, and now his thrusts sent her liquids down his legs and hers alike. His passionate kisses on her neck set her skin aflame, and her returning them booted him over the edge. Thrusting in one last time, he pulled out sharply and exploded on her thighs. She kissed him crazily after he finished, as she had received hers as well. The cum slid down her slender legs, pooling up slowly. He leaned in and continued to kiss her hungrily.

Sousuke swiftly checked his watch and noticed the time. He whipped out a white cloth he always kept with him and brought his hands up and down her legs to clean her. The rag was already dirty from just her thighs. Sousuke leaned under her, and before Emiri knew it, he was licking around her underwear, moving it aside for a moment to lick over her slippery lips before letting go. His hands travelled down her sides as he swiped his tongue over the side of her underwear. Emiri widened her legs so he could finish up. Standing up in a hurry, he wiped off her face with his sleeve, even though the action was unnecessary.

"Will those be okay?" Sousuke pointed to her panties through her skirt.

Blushing a little, Emiri answered, "Yes, they'll be fine, Sousuke." She smiled up at him.

Taking her hand, Sousuke dragged her back to their things. He made her just stand there while he cleaned and collected everything. Emiri leaned down to grab her sandwich. She ate several more small bites before Sousuke decided they had to throw it away. He handed Emiri her bag, and pulled his over his shoulder.

"I love you, Emiri." Sousuke squeezed her hand as he took it.

Looking up at him, she returned his loving gaze, "I love you, too-" She drew close to him and pressed her finger into his chest. Turning it around in circles, she mewled, "-Sergeant Sexy."

Sousuke smiled warmly at her and turned her chin up with his free hand to lean in. Kissing her passionately, he only backed away with the sound of the bell. He sighed on her lips as she returned his smile.

Turning slowly, the two walked hand in hand back to class, keeping each other's loving gaze as they walked, making small comments and laughing together. Before they sat down, they kissed for only a small moment. Looking to Kaname after Emiri's attention was occupied by Kyoko, Sousuke spoke.

"Will you still meet me?" His voice was hushed, but steady.

"Of course. Why would you think I wouldn't after just the first half of school, dummy?"

"Emiri and…well, we shared…there are no handbooks on this and I think one should be published…um…Ah! The perfect way to say it!" Sousuke look triumphantly at Kaname. He remembered how Kurz had told him about him and Melissa. "I nailed her so hard, you couldn't even pull her out with a diamond hammer!"

The whole class stopped talking and looked to Sousuke. No one spoke, though Kaname's mouth was wide open because she knew who it was he "nailed". Emiri looked at him, completely red. Sousuke, completely oblivious, spoke a quiet, "What?"
