Lea-Renee: So chapter 5.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh Gx, if I did I would have made more females, this time because I just can't see Fubuki as being gay and as much as I love yaoi he needs a nice girl that isn't a bimbo and I'm not too much into the idea of incest…

Haou's Pov

I looked down at the scene and him just standing there. Thank you? He said 'Thank you.' It had been so long since I had last heard those words from someone other than my brother but that was because Judai was a special case. Manners were a dying medium, so why did it hurt so much to hear those pitiful words. Why did my heart clench painfully when that tealette looked at me with sad orange eye? Why did my skin tingle as he grabbed the sleeve of my jacket his skin barely brushing against mine? And why did he have to say those two words? With his actions he had made me feel something I hadn't felt in a long time, love. Not the 'heads over heels, girly In Love' but just general love that everyone should have for others whether they realise it or not. The sorrow in his eyes brought sorrow to my heart as well but that wasn't what had truly made me sad, nor was the marred humanity in his eyes but it was the pity held in them. The pity for me.

Jehu's POV

When he flew off I just stood there, not because of shock but because in the few moments that followed our exchange the head of the research department of SIN had called me up and told me to wait there for the reconnaissance squad to come and question me. It didn't surprise me, I was sure there was not a single thing in this city that SIN didn't know about, the only reason why they did nothing in most cases was because the people involved weren't important enough, only the Heroes were.

Half an hour I waited, personally I would have thought that they needed to be a tad faster and sent some guys in helicopters or at least motorcycles so they wouldn't have to wade slowly through traffic in huge SUVs that should have said on the side 'fuck the planet I'm making up for what a little …. I have.' They got out with an artillery strapped on their chests, see compensating. I was quite seriously considering sending a letter to whoever created their uniforms because whoever did must have been a seriously deprived anime fan who liked them in tight leather and hiding all but their mouths under helmets, which probably cost more than my month's salary in technology.

"Jehu you are to come with us," the only female on the team ordered.

"Sorry I don't go with strangers," I replied, trying to see something under the darkened visor, "Tell me your name and rank then I'll go with you freely."

She laughed thinking I had said something funny. "Or I could just take you by force."

"Somehow I doubt that because though you're not saying anything about who you are I already know that you're a level two and you're name is Asuka Tenjoin," I stated, "the only girl who wasn't completely useless who joined the course. Initially you sat with the other girls but eventually you made new friend with those guys."

She was definitely not laughing anymore. "How do you know all this?"

I held up my finger to stop her. "I haven't finished. You're the highest ranked recon girl and your team consists of your brother over there, one Fubuki Tenjoin the self proclaimed ladies man."

"Hey I am not self proclaimed," He yelled out while the one beside him shushed him.

"And the guy telling him to be quiet is Ryo Manfujou, brother to Sho a boy that goes to the same school that my brother goes to and also happens to be my brother's friend. Edo who works at this shop is his special other half," I brought my fist to my mouth and in pseudo-despair I added, "Take care of him, for I know he will never be mine."

"You could have told the whole world who we are," Ryo hissed coming and grabbing me by the cuff of my shirt, hard enough that he ripped off a few buttons. "How do you know this anyway?"

I shrugged. "Well for one we all know that this area is cordoned off and any cameras, bugs etcetera have been blocked off, so telling the whole world is highly improbable. And with how I know what I know, well that's classified."

I felt like I could literally bath in the hate coming from Ryo but before he did anything to me Asuka pulled him away. "So Jehu now that it's certain that we are not in fact strangers are you going to finally come with us?"

"Do I have to?" I asked childishly.

"Yes."

"You know I can't believe that instead of following your dreams to become a teacher you turned to this," I said to her out of the blue.

Asuka stopped for a barely recognisable second. "Well life doesn't always work out as it's planned."

Sympathy flowed through me for a moment but I ignored it, I couldn't let myself feel anything for these people, feelings were mankind's undoing. Instead I walked ahead of them and into the van. It was funny though as I sat there with them being driven back to SIN they had no idea how I had saved their lives. As an assistant in the Research department you do a lot of things and most you can't be proud of but the few you can, well they just don't matter enough.

In secret I wanted SIN to burn in the ashes but not yet, I had to collect more information before my Superiors let me do anything. But that's classified and right now I shouldn't even let myself think it amongst enemies.
