Update: 10/22/13
In the darkness right before the dawn, Takashi awoke. He was naked, as was Saeko who had him clutched to her chest. He inhaled her scent as he moved his mouth to her nipple. He suckled at it for a minute, causing her to moan and shift in her sleep. He abandoned it and worked his way down her tight belly to her pubic mound. Positioning himself, he began to kiss and lick her womanhood as his own lust rose within him.
Saeko moaned again and shifted position, clamping her legs lightly to his head, as he worked his magic on her. Suddenly she let out a "AH!" as she awoke fully and raised her head to find her lovers head between her legs.
"Ah…aha…AHHHH!" she cried out as she climaxed.
Takashi climbed her body, hooking her legs over his shoulders as he did. He entered her quickly and shoved himself deep within her.
She grabbed his hair as he, after a few slow stokes, began to pound her with a lust he could no longer control.
After a few minutes of him grunting over her, he paused and quickly turned her over on her face. He reached out and took a handful of her beautiful long hair in his right hand and gripped her hip bone with his left. He resumed his pace until she screamed out his name as she orgasmed.
A few strokes more and he exploded in her, before collapsing, lust and strength exhausted.

A short time later, Takashi lay with his head on her lap as she played with his hair.
He reached up and caressed her face, "I'm sorry I was rough with you. I lost control of myself there for a little while."
She smiled slightly and placed her hand on his cheek, "It's alright, my love, I'm just glad to see you awake and alert."
He frowned, "Saeko…Saeko I didn't use…"
She nodded, "I know my love. It's alright, I should be safe right now, if not…well it might not be the best time, but I want your children, if not now, someday."
"I love you," he whispered.
"I love you too. I don't know what I would do without you. You complete me in more ways than you will ever know."
Takashi sat up and pulled her to him. He kissed her lightly as she maneuvered herself into his lap. They made love slowly this time, enjoying every second of their closeness, a physical promise to each other that they would never leave.

A very tired Rika came in the door and walked to her room to drop off her gear. Not finding Shizuka there, she headed to the kitchen area where she found Takashi with the fires lit, making tea.
He was dressed in his pseudo-uniform of black cargo pants, and black T-shirt. He watched as she came in and stood before him for a minute before wrapping her arms around him and holding him tightly.
He hugged her back and snorted, "Not that I'm complaining, Rika, but why?"
She lay her head on his shoulder, "Tatsumi told me about what happened yesterday. I forget sometimes you guys are still just kids. I'm sorry you had to go through what you did."
He kissed her on the cheek and then slapped her on the butt
She jumped back in shock, "While I don't mind, what if your girlfriend saw you do that, Takashi?"
"I did," Saeko said behind her.
Rika spun around to find the girl propped against the door frame watching them. "Oh, I see," Rika said with an evil grin on her face. "He feels me up, you get mad, and then there's mud wrestling or something right?"
Saeko laughed as Takashi snorted. She stepped forward and leaned in closer to the older woman, "Mud wrestling I had not thought about, but you never know, we might be getting bored and invite you to come visit one night."
Rika's grin widened, "Oh don't you tempt me, girl-child! It's been long enough that I might just take…"
They all turned and looked out of the kitchen door as the door to Tomasa's room crashed open and Shizuka ran out in nothing but a bed sheet.
"I gotta peeeee!" she squealed as she rushed by heading for the bathroom.
A second later, Tomasa stumbled out in nothing but a pair of shorts. He staggered to the door of the kitchen where he muttered, "Coffee?" as he rubbed one hand over his hair and the other over his stomach, a sleepy frown on his face.
Rika face-palmed herself and muttered, "Is everyone around here getting laid but me?"
Saya walked up with one eyebrow raised. "Why is sensei in such a hurry to…?" She stopped and looked Tomasa up and down. "Oh…never mind. Is there tea ready yet?"

Everyone gathered in the living area to sip tea or coffee before heading to breakfast. Rika was explaining what she had found out before she went to bed for a few hours.
"They're in a village near Mt. Ohira not too far north of here. Shouyou says it's so small it doesn't even have a name. There are ten fighting men guarding it and about seventy women, children and old people. All fighters are armed with the same weapon types the attack group was armed with. He also said the leader, Toma, brought a truckload of weapons with him when he and his four lieutenants showed up and took over. Toma and two of the lieutenants came with the attack group, and two stayed back to ride herd on the rest. Toma, is the only one left of the three."
Tomasa nodded, "I want to come up with a way to take them without any more loss of life if we can. Any ideas before you hit the sack?"
Rika shrugged, "If we had some helos we could…" She and Kohta grinned at the same time. "COWBOY!" they both said, as they remembered the Apache attack helicopter flight they saw the first day of arriving at the base.
Tomasa laughed, "Good idea, let's see if we can borrow them for a day or two. I'll get on it as soon as a satellite connection comes up. I'll try to get some new recon pictures of the area so we know what to look for."
Rika headed to bed as the rest went to get breakfast.
When they arrived, Tomasa headed up to communications while Shizuka and Rei relived Yukari and Urabe. The rest got plates of food and went outside on the porch to eat.
Nakajima came down the stairs and went in to get a cup of coffee. He returned and sat down beside Saya as she finished her meal.
Takashi, who was already finished, got up and stood in front of the colonel in a reasonable parade rest stance that he had seen Rika and some of the others do, "Colonel I would like to officially join. How do I go about that, sir?"
Kohta got up, touched Saya on the cheek and then positioned himself beside Takashi, "Please include me in that also, sir."
Nakajima glanced over at Saya who said, "We have decided this is the place we want to be. If it takes joining the defense force, then we will. All of us, colonel."
He sighed, nodded and rubbed his hand over his graying hair. "I've been expecting something like this since that call yesterday. I've thought it over and right now, I'm going to say no."
Saeko stepped up beside Takashi and Kohta and asked, "Why Nakajima-san?"
Nakajima waved his hand, "Wait, don't get all fired up. Let me explain what I am thinking and what I know." He sighed again and looked to Saeko first, "Busujima-san, you are already listed as a member of the Emperor's Own Imperial Guard. Technically that makes the guard commander, your father, your commander, but I know he has given permission for you to stay here so, we will say you are on 'detached duty' to FPB Onohira. We will recognize you as 'instructor' and you would basically be the equal of a corporal or sergeant. Now, that does not mean you should be running around giving orders, but it gives you the authority to handle training as you see fit with oversight by the officers."
Saeko nodded.
He turned to Saya next, "Takagi-san, I intend on listing you as a civilian volunteer over stocks and stores. This is not uncommon and has been done before. We may even set you up under a contract clause once things get a little more settled and we know what we are doing about all that."
"Where does that leave Hirano and the others?" Saya asked.
"Miyamoto-san is quickly falling into the role of teacher and medic's assistant to Marikawa-san. Marikawa-san will be listed as chief medical officer and Dean-san her number two, if they choose to stay. Flanery-san was already under contract to the national police and thus the defense force since it has become one in the same. His rank is basically sergeant of motor pool under the Captain and Lieutenant."
He turned back toward the boys and smiled, "And that leaves you two. I want to list you as cadets-in-training. You will be referred to as Cadet, and will have to follow all orders and assignments given to you by your superiors which is pretty much…well everybody."
They all laughed as Saeko turned to the boys and said, pointing to the ground, "Get down and push, give me twenty."
"Also Cadet Hirano, Toda-san wants you for his assistant in the armory, so you will have to cover that while training also. When the time comes, you will be sworn in as troopers."
"What about me and Dean-chan?" Alice piped up. "And Zeke!"
"Ah Alice-chan, I want the two of you to keep on doing what you have been doing. That was very smart of you yesterday and we are all proud of both of you."
Alice hung her head for a minute and said quietly, "But all those people still got hurt because of what I did."
Nakajima frowned, "No Alice-chan, not because of what you did, but because of the choice they made to try to attack this base. You were working on the side of the law and they were not."
This seemed to make her feel better and she asked again, "So what about Zeke?"
Nakajima smiled, "Zeke is special. His job is going to be to protect you and everyone else as a guard dog. I hope to find some more that are as smart as him and bring them in to help out also."
"Zeke was first so that makes him the sergeant!" she cried out.
The others laughed, but Nakajima said, "That's not unheard of. Many military and police dogs have ranks, but I think Zeke needs to grow a little more before he gets his."
He stood up and stretched; "Now I think we all need to get our day started. I was going to fly out today, but I think I will hang around till we get this raider situation is settled. Takagi-san and Busujima-san I need to talk to you about training and supply, so let's go to the supply hut and talk there."
Kohta, with the kids and Zeke in tow, headed for the armory. Takashi went to his patrol, which were forming up in the street under the command of Giba, since Tatsumi had been up all night.

Rika walked into the mess hall yawning and scratching her side, several hours later. Looking around, she realized the wounded were gone and the mess orderlies were scrubbing and disinfecting the floor to get the blood up.
Walking over, she got a cup and filled it from Cookie's never ending coffee pot before looking for the older man. Finding him out back overseeing meat being cut up, she asked, "Hey Cookie, where did they take the wounded?"
He pointed down the street, "To that building on the other side of the bathhouse LT, the Captain and Doc picked it out for our medical bay because it has tile floors and several other advantages."
Rika nodded, said thanks and went back inside to refill her cup before headed down the street to check out the building. Going in she found Saya was standing behind a counter just inside the door digging through some papers.
"What are you up to?" Rika asked as she leaned across from the pink-haired girl.
"Trying to make sense of this puzzle. This is the craziest village I've ever seen, not that I've seen that many. It's almost like every building was abandoned, but kept up well. There was no furniture before the engineering unit arrived and we no idea what each building was used for. We have the machinery that was in what is now the armory and it looks like it stamps or presses something, but no one can figure out what. Paddy has tons of farm equipment and it all seems to work fine." She sighed as she tossed the paper down, "I thought looking over these papers might tell me something, but they are just some kind of crop reports."
"Where are the Captain and Shizuka?" Rika asked.
Saya motioned over her shoulder, "In the back talking about what sensei needs to set this place up right."
Rika walked around the counter and through the door behind it. The rear of the building was an open space where someone had already set up folding cots that were filled with wounded. Rei was walking between them checking on them as Shizuka and Tomasa stood and talked. A couple of walking wounded troopers was sitting by the back door as guards.
"I'll need at least one good operating table beside the examining ones," Shizuka was telling him as Rika stopped next to them. "We also need to see about doing something for the two critical cases we have. One is holding his own, but the other is deteriorating and I'm afraid will die if we don't get him to a better facility."
"You two getting everything squared away?" Rika asked.
Tomasa sighed, "Yeah, but once we get this other matter settled we are going to have a lot of shopping to do."
Rika smirked, "Well one thing is for sure, once we get through everyone will be coming to us to find out how to set up one of these bases!"
"That's what I'm afraid of," Tomasa said with a frown.
They said goodbye to Shizuka and headed out the door to communications.
"You got your wish, LT. Cowboy flight will be in this afternoon. Destroyer JMSDS Kongou has tasked a drone to recon for us about now. They'll send the data to us this afternoon on the next sat pass," he told her.
"Good," she replied. "If this works right we can get this wrapped up and start doing what we were set up for."

About 4pm, Rika and Tatsumi stood near the motor pool as they listened to the sound of the Apaches approaching. As they walked out closer to the landing field the two helicopters screamed in at treetop level and did a fast orbit of the base. Stopping over the street, they made a slow 180 degree rotation like they were hanging on the shafts of their rotor blades. They then backed up till they were over the field and settled straight down, wheels touching the ground at the same time.
Rika laughed and shook her head. "I've never seen a gunship pilot yet that didn't like to show off!" she said as Tatsumi nodded in agreement.
Paddy stood with them till the engines shut down, then he ran forward, crouching, to the hatch of the first craft. He saluted the two men inside before shaking their hands. Talking for a minute, he then headed to the other gunship to repeat his actions.
Rika and Tatsumi started forward as the men in the first chopper stepped down.
My, my! Ain't that a tall, cold drink-o-watah! Rika thought as the pilot, at least six foot tall, reached back in the cockpit and pulled out a straw cowboy hat. His copilot, a head shorter than the pilot, pulled out a black one of a different style, black with a smaller brim, but had a band with silver buckles around the crown.
Rika looked them up and down as they walked over. The tall man was rugged looking. His chiseled features reminded her of an American movie star she saw in a western once. The shorter man looked younger, walked with a rolling gate and had a smile on his face.
They pulled up in front of Rika, stood at attention and saluted. "Captain John Richards, call sign Cowboy," in a thick Texas drawl. "This is Warrant officer Alan Traherne, call sign Mississippi, my front seat man."
Rika and Tatsumi saluted back, "Lieutenant Rika Minami, second in command of Onohira base, this is Sergeant Tatsumi my chief NCO.
They all shook hands as the other two pilots and Paddy walked up. They were introduced as Lieutenant Jonny Hays and Warrant officer Paul Rogers, call signs Colorado and Red.
"This is a nice little set up y'all got here," Cowboy said as they started towards the mess hall. "I like the moat system that British feller come up with. It's been a big help down south of here."
Rika nodded, "We like it. Since it's been finished none of the zeds have gotten past the first ditch. How are things going 'south of the border' so to speak?"
Cowboy smiled, "Pretty good so far. We've had a couple of problems with 'drifters' coming ashore on boats, but with tight patrols they are taken care of quickly and there hasn't been any real outbreaks. We got a couple of fast patrol boats working the coast now so they are finding drifting boats and ships before they get close in."
They went through another round of introductions as they met Tomasa and Nakajima out front. After getting coffee, they settled in communications to plan the operation the pilots had been called in for.

A couple of hours later Takashi knocked on the door frame to get their attention, "Colonel, everyone, cook says come and get it or he's throwing it out."
The officers laughed as Nakajima nodded, "Thank you; Cadet, we'll be right down."
Takashi bowed and went back out the door.
Cowboy looked puzzled for a moment, "You called him 'Kadet' Colonel? What's that all about?"
Nakajima smiled, "We have a very eclectic group here Captain. Some of the best of them not even out of high school yet."
"You've seen most of them before, Cowboy. They were on top of my Stryker that morning you found us," Tomasa told him.
Cowboy's eyebrows went up, "Oh yeah, that feisty little pink haired girl and her boyfriend with the glasses!"
Tomasa nodded, "She is our supply officer, and the young man is the assistant armorer and one of the best shooters in the camp."
"Really?" Cowboy said as he snorted. "I'd like to hear that story!"
Rika smiled as she got up, "You can, they'll be downstairs and they stay at the base commander's house, where the four of you will be bunking tonight. It's gotten to be tradition to sit around the hearth and talk before turning in for the evening."
Cowboy smiled as he let Rika go out the door in front of him. "That sounds downright relaxing!"

Later in the evening, after dinner and sitting around the fire telling stories, Rika finally got a bath and changed into night clothes. She was wearing a pair of boxers with a tank top shirt and a yukata that she left hanging open.
Coming around the corner from the bath, she could see someone sitting on the inner porch, down at the far end, smoking. Walking down that way, she found Cowboy leaning against the wall, looking into the courtyard with a small cigar in his fingers.
"You wouldn't happen to have an extra one of those would you," she asked as he looked up at her.
Smiling he held up a box for her to take, "For you? Sure."
Sitting cross-legged next to him she extracted one and handed the box back. By the time she nipped the end off he was holding a lit lighter for her. She held the cigar's tip to the flame and drew the smoke to life.
"Ahhhhhh…" she sighed as the smoke coursed through her lungs. "I ran out a couple of days ago and have been craving one more than I thought I would."
He nodded, "I had just gotten a couple of boxes right before it all went to hell. I've been stingy with them, but thinking about tomorrow, I felt like burning one."
"Yet you gave me one when you're about to run out?"
He shrugged his shoulders, "Sister-in-arms so to speak. It will be a sad day when I cannot share with a fellow soldier."
Rika smiled, "Still thanks, I needed it."
They sat quietly for a while, smoking and listening to the cicadas before Cowboy said, "Sure is nice out here. Quiet and peaceful, plus you can smell the flowers and trees. Y'all got a really nice place here."
"Yeah we lucked up," Rika replied. "How are things down south?"
"Not too bad. Lot of people running around and work going on, but it's still early in the game yet. I think it will settle down after a couple of months. This is nice though, reminds me of home."
Rika turned her head to look at him, "And where is home?"
"Uvalde, Texas, just to the west of San Antonio. My parents have a cattle ranch there, and yes, that's where I got the handle Cowboy, but I decided to give the army a try for a while. Liked it so much I made it a career thinking I could always go back when I retired." He sighed, "Not much chance in that now."
"What about the rest of your crew? They from Texas also?"
"Red is, his whole call sign is Texas Red because of his hair, but it always gets shortened to Red. Colorado is from Durango, Colorado and Mississippi is from Louisiana."
"Louisiana? Then why is he called Mississippi? I know it's the state next door but…"
Cowboy laughed, "The story is he was born on the Mississippi river on a boat. His mama started calling him that and it stuck. His daddy insisted he be named after his great-grandpa though."
Rika sighed and got up, "Well we got a lot to do tomorrow. I better turn in since I was up all night last night."
"Goodnight lieutenant," the man said.
She stopped with her back to him, "Call me Rika when we're off duty. Okay?"
Cowboy smiled as she walked away, "Sure thing, Rika."
A/N: Someone asked me recently what Captain Tomasa looked like. To see him look at Page 4, Chapter 13 of the manga, he is called S Squad Leader, I'm name him Tomasa.
