I closed my last suit case and headed out to see Jaye waiting for me. "Look, I know you're nervous about your first mission but it'll be okay. You have Snake Eyes. The best security ever" I smiled but it quickly went away "That's not why I'm worried." She was about to ask something when Hawks voice came in from the intercom "Japan in 5 minutes!" I felt chills going down my spine as soon as we walked in the elevator. "I'll take that my lady" A guy said as he took my suitcases from my hands. I walked over to where Snake was, he grabbed my hand and rubbed my knuckles with his thumb. I smiled at him and gave him the 'I'm okay look'
"Good luck Joes. And one more thing" Hawk said sounding very serious "Bring back candy" I rolled my eyes and nodded. I walked over to the jet with Snake following close behind. He helped me in and we took a seat with him next to me since we had all of our equipment in front of us. I felt the jet go up and soon enough we were flying.
"You okay?" Snake signed. I sighed "Yes, and I will be okay two hours from now" I said looking at him. "You just seemed off..." He signed as he looked away. I sighed "I just...I don't want to go back"
He rubbed my arm making me look at him "Everything will be fine. And besides you have the best security ever with you" He signed. I laughed "That's what Lady Jaye said, he chuckled "Well I am the best..." He signed crossing his arms over his chest. I rolled my eyes and laid back closing my eyes. I felt him shift a couple of times then it was silent. I opened my eyes and he wasn't next to me. I looked down and saw a paper on my lap 'Lunch date tomorrow?' I smiled, was this what he's been trying to ask me for a week? Was he trying to ask me on a date? I heard footsteps making me look up.
"What you say?" He signed. I smiled "As long as your paying." His shoulders moved and he sat next to me "We're landing in a couple of minutes." He signed as he started putting the equipment in a suit case. "We're here" A male voice I said. Snake and I both got up and headed to our hotel, since we already had the key we went to our room. Snake opened the room door only to see that there was one bed. "I'll take the couch." Snake signed. I rolled my eyes "Sharing is caring" I said as I closed the door. I took my shoes off and started getting everything ready for tomorrow.
"Okay, so you're staying here and I'm going over to my house." He shook his head "We're going at night and I'm going with you." I sighed "Snake..." He got up and grabbed my shoulder "No, Kimiko. I'm not letting you out of my sight. And there's nothing you can do about it" He signed as he pushed me towards the bed "Now goodnight" He finally signed making me fall on the bed. "I hate you" I mumbled on the pillow. I sensed him laying down next to me then he did the unexpected. He poked my sides. "SNAKE!" He put his hands up "Don't do that" I said as I looked away from him hiding my smile. He put the covers on me and started messing with my hair until I fell asleep.
