Rosa Annerito ch. 2: ombra fioritura di Una rosa
A/N: I do not own gunslinger girl only my OCs and I hope this story is good. Any comments and reviews are appreciated
"Figlio di un fottuto cagna!" Rose roared as she saw the time proving that she had overslept and missed the meeting with Triela and Hillshire before going to Hillshire's English class, although she wished she could call in sick desperately. Quickly throwing on her tank top and a pair of grey jeans as well as tennis shoes, not giving a damn if her hair was done she started her day off with a bang as her door slammed shut before she slid down the rail and took off down the hallway before nearly bowling over Hillshire and as he kept upright with Triela holding him, before he said
"You are late and you should be lucky she had me wait or you would be left to look around the agency on your own" and Rose just ignored the comment following her best friend and her handler, only pausing when rose felt a tug on her black leather jacket and turned around, not sure what was going on and saw Angelica. As Rose saw the brown haired girl tugging on her coat she dropped to a knee and said in Italian impressing Triela, who had figured with her long distance demeanor she would be as cold as Elsa
"Ciao il mio compagno ben poco, quello che sembra essere sbagliato?" and as Angelica, who had seen a big sister figure in rose, motioned to the wrapper in Rose's jacket pocket, she said
"Oh I think I know you want some of my chocolate, well you can have it on one condition okay?" and as Angelica nodded Rose pointed to Elsa and said quietly
"That girl looks lonely so why dont you promise you will share with her okay?" and seeing her nodding happily Rose passed over the candy bar and a note for Elsa that said
"My friend I hate to admit this but you are a great looking kid and seem to be in need of a friend so I am able to listen" all the while watching Elsa, who sat down and broke the candy bar splitting it with Angelica, talking like they were old friends. Smiling Rose ran to catch up with Triela and was holding her hand down looking a little sad until Elsa yelled
"Hey wait up, I was wondering if I could walk with you just for in case triela needs to leave early even though you maybe a little heart broken" and Triela blushed as she understood the innuendo. Either not understanding it or ignoring it Rose said
"I could use the company and at least it'll give me some one to talk to in case triela gets called away" before the wry little convoy went on its way. As Petra staggered up, a look of pain plastered over her face and the booze on her breath, she nodded before her boyfriend and Roses cousin, Chris grabbed her arm and said smiling
"Come on cutie it is time for us to get back to the unit we are running before the MOD decided that SWA agents cant be in charge of them". Smiling as Chris realized that his cousin was standing there he sang quietly
"We fired our guns and the british kept a-coming but there wasnt as many as there was a while ago" causing rose to sing
"We fired once more and they began a running down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico" before Triela caused rose to blush saying
"You have a beautiful voice and maybe I can hear it someday soon". Looking at Triela and Elsa, Rose just smiled before Hillshire showed her around and Rico smiled grabbing her hand saying
"We can go to class later but I have something to show you" and as Rose was trying to comprehend what she would see, Rico revealed the forge with a katana with a rose and naginata on the anvil Rico smiled saying
"That boy must like you because he made you two weapons" and Rose just smiled and said
"Yeah I guess you can say that even though I liked him alot longer than his girlfriend has" and as Petra walked in with Chris, she said, the jealousy obvious as she glared at the new girl
"Oh really and how the fuck is that true?" and Rose smiled saying
"My cousin is your boyfriend so yeah I win" causing Petra to smile before holding out her hand. As rose shook it she asked
"Are you Petra because I heard a lot about you. Most of it I wanted to know but some I am better off not knowing" with a chuckle as Petra blushed. Quietly muttering to herself Rose heard Petra say
"I am so going to kill that son of a bitch" and Rose hefted up the sword and the rose petal tsuba that blended into a dragon mark similar to the one on her palm, the gold accents shining in the light, before giving a swing singing
"Working hard all week put some beer on the table" only to be interrupted as Nick grabbed the blade and smiled before saying quietly
"Son of a bitch knows of the deal we made" before dropping Rose's sleeve revealing the mark. As rose remembered the deal she had made using black magic the day before her life changed, she smiled as the thoughts of the black snake and rose 'tattoo' as she ran her hand over it and noticed that the fangs dripped, almost as if it was hinting at the blood on her hands. As she ran toward the wall after Rico and Petra left thinking she was the only one besides her brother in the forge Rose ran and quickly jumped to the wall before in the blink of an eye deployed a shadow and then controled it to throw knives before she slashed its throat dragging a finger without even looking like she touched it. As that occured she then snapped a flame and turned it into a barage of what looked like throwing knives. As she rolled from the landing Nick moved right behind her in the blink of an eye. Feeling her vision go black with the trail her brother had followed, Rose slammed her arm back catching the blade snapping across his wrist snapping it before slamming a boot into his knee then put a hidden blade to his neck. Watching him squirm rose smiled and helped him up saying
"I wont kill you just know sneaking up on me is a bad idea" then she walked out of the room as Nick muttered
"Damn assassins. I mean its bullshit it was in her blood and all but throw in the magic and the additions she requested to go with the assassin heritage and she is deadly and it pisses me off". As Rose had sauntered off to lunch Nick followed and Rico and Claes stopped him and asked
"What the fuck was that because we saw what you did and wonder what it was all about" and Rose, who was walking back as Triela requested to see her in her room privately, said
"Come with us and I will tell but the short answer is magic, I aint gotta explain shit" and as the four walked into triela's room Nick said quietly
"No dear sister its more like dark magic you DO NOT want us explaining shit" and Triela smiled hearing that before saying
"I read your bio and it revealed you have no handler, something about the one they wanted, getting murdered when you two were training with the special forces and your US delta force training preached being self-rielent and the AFO wolfpack and task force lightning bolt, whatever those are, reenforced it and assigned your friend Allison as your handler, although she is no where to be seen". As Rose listened to what Triela said, she closed her eyes before responding trying to keep her voice level
"M-my 'handler' as you call her was my sister by blood. We were on an operation in the jungle down in panama and task force lightning bolt was in charge of aiding a panamanian resistance to try and overthrow the drug cartel controled government. We led a unit of soldiers who we had worked with and the funny thing is they were seals and green berets but we needed to have a proven track record so they had to be in the unit with an untarnoused record for two years before we even considered bringing them into the unit. As we were training a group of rebels we were ambushed. Looking around Danielle got hit by an RPG and as we fell back she was captured and tortured before we rescued her. As I pulled her out my sister got up to run and a lead slug smashed into her helmet knocking her unconscious. As soon as we got her to the hospital we found out she is resting in a coma now... I-I am scared she is going to die". As the group all fell quiet, Hillshire made his presence known by saying, with Elenor in tow
"I can find the hospital she is at and have her transfered here so you can see her more often also this girl has agreed to be your handler even though she refuses the title" and Rose just nodded, looking at her other sister, as Eleanor had walked in, before saying
"Thank you and that will be nice now my question is what exactly did you want when you stopped in to visit us and I hope you told my sister more about the others?" before he looked around and said, the tone proving that he was trying to be a good leader to his family
"We have been assigned a operation and it is Nick and Rose will be assisting us in a breaching and hunting a high value target." As the group let that sink in Rose looked at Nick and said
"Come on brother we have a lot of fun to do" before the two hopped in their mustang and tore out following the others with Triela muttering
"Well my girlfriend will know what she is doing and I wonder what her brother will say". As soon as they made it to the hotel everyone got dressed in hotel outfits being either maids or in Nick's case, room service, they all started to look for the HVT and Nick felt a tug on his shirt and turned to see angelica behind him asking rose and him both
"What is it like being a sniper and seeing the enemy drop and knowing that your bullet killed him?" and Rose said, her voice a somber and morbid
"It is like playing god with a high speed IMAX film in full blood and glory" and as they reached the room Nick caught rose's eyes and smiled before he asked Angelica
"Hey kid have you ever seen the red rooms? You know like on the internet" and as Angelica shook her head Nick smiled and said
"Well you are about to find out" and he pulled out a fragmentation grenade, thumbing off the spoon before kicking the door in throwing it in like a softball before it went off splattering the room in a gory grey pink mist. As the group all watched that Angelica just nodded before Rose knocked on the door and said, trying to contain her laughter as an old friend taught her that but she couldnt remeber why he did that
"Room service fluff your pillow" and the voice on the other side gruffly replied
"No go to hell" and Rose, slight annoyance in her voice, pulled her glock 22 and its surpressor to a low ready position before hitting the door again repeating
"Room service food delivery" and as the door opened to the chain and he snapped
"Bitch I said go the fuck away or I will make you and you will regret it" and Rose slammed her boot into the door at his knee snapping it then she walked in and shot the man in the chest twice and one round to the head. As the man fell with the only sound being a sound similar to a phone book being smacked with a rubber mallet. Quickly sweeping the hotel trying to find the other terrorist and the HVT she was hunting, rose stumbled across a scene that would haunt her nightmares. Locking eyes with the young girls she heard a mixture of serbian and English screaming for help. Turning around Rose shot the other terrorist in the head before knocking the HVT unconcious with a computer keyboard to the side of the head. Quickly tying him up and cutting the girls free Rose called into her headset, her calm voice laced with anger and disgust
"The job is done but I need a clean up crew now". Quickly escorting the two girls out Rose asked
"So what are your names" and the chesnut brown haired girl who looked like she had the most injuries
"Senka and my sister Alexia" and rose nodded before saying
"You are safe and I have a place you two can stay" knowing fully good and well it went against what the girls were supposed to do to witnesses and escorted the two back to SWA and the forge, all the while hearing Jean muttering under his breath about how that wasnt professional and started forging blades for the girls and Elsa watched and muttered to rose
"Need to make Nick a gift because he is kind of cute" before talking to rose about how to ask Nick out.
