Chapter 6

Animals, ice, skateboards and dynamite

For a unknown reason Saitô Hajime had kissed the Itachi girl.

Green eyes stare at him asking them self the same thing. But when she could speak her question the only answer that occur him was "I don't know". Then he keep enjoying the taste of her lips. Maybe it was seeing her melting on his arms, or maybe the way that his hands adjust just perfectly to her curves…, or the way she can take the correct nerves at his neck while caress him that make him shiver at her wish…

When he move out oh her lips he let his amber gaze mesmerize with her pretty face. Trying to script down on his memory each detail that she own. He know well he had bad luck with women and even more with the petite one in his arms, when less expect it she can send him flying away.

Those thoughts and the number at the caller id of his cell phone bring him back to reality. "Alicia." Showing anger to the annoyed one who dare to call he answer, and when Alicia throw him the words "Party at pier 32" he understood that 'cabin boy' was her informant.

"And you have to lure him for that?"

At hearing the words Misao snap back to reality with open wide eyes as she take a step out of Saitô's arms with the unbelievable think of….

"I loose my one week slave."

He end the call while watching the weasel walking front and back, blabbering things that make him understood, that all this kissing the Itachi was Alicia's doing. And that made his anger turn on in 0.3 seconds. "Damn girl!"

-"What you call me?"

-"Not you weasel! So this was all Valentino doing. That kiss and everything was a bet? I never though you weasel were that kind of women."

"LISTEN YOU DAMN WOLF."

"Stop it there! You're the one who must watch her doings. I'll not tolerate that a girl like you come and try toying me around."

Saying that he step out of the building showing a kind of anger that made Misao shiver. "I…Saitô, it wasn't my intention." But her words get on deaf ears, there were too late because he was now behind his car wheel and on his way to the 'party'.

A good excuse for a good fight and drawn out his fury. That kind of discussions put his testosterone's levels up. OH yeah! The wolf of Mibu will kick some asses tonight.

In the nick of time, and at the high floor of a deserted building at the piers, were Himura, Sanouske, Shinomori, Kamiya and Valentino checking the information were true. With the help of a silent scope Alicia was watching the 'red zone', as technically they call the area where everything will happen.

While she was doing that, the others were preparing them self with arms and bullet proof vests. "Shinomori can you come" Say her, "check this."

As he took the silent scope she was explaining: "I count almost 32…" The number get by surprise the others, but they say nothing about it. "Twelve has AK-47 and they are divided on pairs watching the outside perimeter that is from the vehicles to the entrance to the ship. There is no other than Seta Soujiro him self; and he is in company of a woman and two bodyguards. the bodyguards had semi automatics and I think they must be very equipped with recharges for the way they're dressed maybe they had white weapons too at the belts back or on their shoes. Seta himself has a katana and a shot gun, so I realize he must be very confident or really fast."

"Fast, very fast." Say Shinomori.

"The 17 left?" Ask Himura.

Aoshi answer that one: "Armed but they are the ones that are getting down the merchandise."

A smile Draw on Sano's lips while saying: "Well Sergeant, I think you indeed know how to pick a party."

"Sanoske! That's our job." Say Kaoru to pull out the nerves.

"Whatever, raccoon girl. Iceberg let me check out too." Aoshi move leaving Sano had the space between him and Alicia.

Seeing his companions immerse in observation, Kenshin get close to Kaoru who was having trouble adjusting her bullet proof vest. Without a word, and so softly he pull out her hands of it and help her closing it, double checking everything.

"I'm out of practice. It has pass time since my last time on a mission."

"You have nothing be afraid of Kaoru-dono, not, you don't."

"I think is more the stress of the situation. In fact I don't know what's with the Captain to put me on paper work and out of the streets."

"Maybe," say Alicia interrupting the sweet scene, "because he and his subordinates think us women as inferior to them, they underestimate us Kamiya."

That made, me and Sano forget about the silent scope and the narks that were 300 feet from us. We turn around just to find the view of her, leaning to a wall were she had two windows to each side of her letting the streets light in, while she light on a cigarette on a wolf made posture. And I can't ignore that one.

But the red hair can just say "Nani!" Because grumble of no other than Saitô didn't let him continue.

"The best is that Kamiya ask Himura about it. But you, Sergeant Valentino: I hope you haven't trying to take out the chief commander position tonight."

Amber fight Amber as they glances grow in distrust for each other and voiceless menaces. But just to end in words full of sarcasm: "Of course not, …Captain."

This made me know that she wasn't really thinking like that and in a way it amaze me, because she know well the consequences for what she was trying. Even for a elite soldier like her it will end on a marshal court, but she tried it no matter what. 'How many times has she make that and get it?' How many times was the question that make me worry and made me alert of her.

Just the way she make it sound it seems as she have been successful many times with this charade. 'If tonight had been with another captain, she had been successful,"

But Wolf here make it worst, he only ask about the information we had and for a map of the area, ignoring her completely as he get it and start discuss strategies with me at seeing that we're unnumbered and out of the alternative of call the s.w.a.t. And that because of their ostentatious ways; "all that force demonstration they always made will only made Seta set sail", conclude Saitô make it time for new ideas.

That was when Sano had his 'brilliant idea'. "Hasn't this a party invitation to Sergeant here." She eye him trying to get his point, and when she get it the smile on her face was priceless. Sano smile back and they clash hands, only to have her signaling a possible entrance that made her possible put her ways.

But only at announcing herself as the bait Hajime say dry and soundly that her idea was the worst stupidity he had ever hear. "Is better call S.W.A.T"say him. That made both have a eyeing fight while Himura and I were thinking how to ending it.

"The worst stupidity you ever herd? I can't believe that your stupid machismo,… Captain, is making you take a decision like that."

"And I don't believe that you, Sergeant, be here questioning you superior instructions."

"Don't' made me…"

"Your treats can't scare me Valentino, not your superiors, because I'm the one in charge here and now. Had you more clear things now?"

"Good."

As she get back on posture, hand out a paper. A paper that made her pride up while ask Saitô if he know what is it.

"This Captain Saitô Hajime is power. Power to me, that your superiors sign. The same people you had manage at your joy for years as the reports say. It had the signs of the Police Chief of Japan and the first minister of your country."

For the first time in his life he felt as his hand were tie up, and only saw as she end the preparations. It was like little girl playing with everyone around and I can't stop ask my self why she planned all of this.

But for Saitô it was worst, he was a man who know himself. A man that made his job no matter what, and that was on of the reasons to her wife put the divorce ten years before. But this girl was obsessing on this, and for obsessions there it was Shinomori as example, even an obsessive boy like him take time out to meditate and do other things work no related. But this chick use fun and friendship as an excuse to pull up information or at least he knew that for Weasel…Misao 'conversation'.

'Can this revenge for her aunt, or for her mother…'

Then, as Saitô though that, it make it clear. As when a thunderbolt light up the darkest night sky, the call his ex-wife made to him four years a go make it back to him.

"I will be the bait Valentino." He offer himself in a quite voice just watching her as she check her weapon one last time.

"What!?" Ask her, she can't believe her ears.

"I will go."

But no one of us can believe it either. Sanouske and Kaoru faces where cartoon mode as if the end of the world were coming commanded by a giant meteor guided for wild horse and aliens with green heads that terminate the human race, and Kenshin had a thousand question marks on his head. All this for the overprotective ways of our captain after being under ranked for a 20 years old chick.

But. "You're being like the ahou there."

"Who you call moron, damn Wolf?" shout Sano from the other side.

But that kill any logic from Saitô and whatever point he had win to prevent the girl commit suicide tonight going all alone to confront a little bastion of narks.

"You come to reason captain, and stop seeing me as inferior to you. Why you don't open your eyes and start see that we women are not less than you men."

"Sergeant Valentino, I don't think any of this is something about men vs women." Say Kenshin.

"I will let you these clear, Himura. The reason why Saitô can't go there is because they will recognize him immediately. And will not let him in. His appearance will make Seta sail out with all the merchandise there and unload it tomorrow in another pier out of our reach. The boy that dance with me tonight only need a single glance to recognize him as the wolf of Mibu on a pub full of people. But with me is different; was trying to get a person inside the department using the new girl. An obvious option that Shinomori and I were discussing early tonight."

"Obvious was that the boy were trying to get on your pants" Say an angry Saitô.

"Let me tell you that if you think I will end dead and raped on a mission is because you don't had any idea of who the hell I am and less know the abilities I had…Hajime."

"I already tell you not to go Sayuri Takagi."

The name made every one stay on their spots asking what the hell is going on here. But the effect on Alicia was more than admissible making a single drop of tear roll through here cheek. By fortune It was only see it by Hajime, and Aoshi.

"here and now." Say Alicia recovering her self on a way that only remind us of Saitô. "For everyone here and in this damn country I'm only Alicia Valentino. Get it!"

She didn't wait an answer and step out to streets behind the building. The ones that came from the east side, and took whoever don't know the area.

This point Ikawa took in as he spot her walking all alone as he wanted. He tell Seta that his 'girlfriend' arrive.

Guards look at her devouring her figure, all well conscious of her simple black shirt, one that show all her sun tan arms; accompanied of a blue jeans that she change on before just to complete the sexy girly look. More beautiful that what there friend had told them.

Once she get close to them Ikawa was behind telling that let her pass. And when he can reach her, took her kissing her so softly on the cheeks getting on smelling her neck. "Better of what I remember." He told her on musky voice.

"And you seem to had been smoking something, because I make you clear that…"

"You don't go out with cabin boys. But even that you're here."

She shrug while answer: "I like parties, what can I say?"

They keep walking to reach where Soujiro Seta were.

But all they movements weren't on blind eyes because the others were waiting for her sign to made entrance to the perimeter.

All the tension was on skin as the body heats were on preparing to make a big….KABOOM!!
