A/N: I want to apologize for the suddenness of kyoteshaman76's take over. To be fair he reads more manga than I do and he didn't like the way the manga was going. Now that being said, I - .125 am still actively writing the fic as well, we really are co-authors on this. It will NOT be full cross-over because lets face it folks, Shadowrun kinda sucks for fanfiction purposes.
Also, I hate to lose fans because of a decision I make, but the decision is mine to make and where I will take your thoughts and opinions into consideration, I have a story I'm trying to tell and tell it I will. Please stop reading if it is not to your liking, where that will hurt my feelings it won't change my story. I hate when authors do that, change the way they were writing or change something in a story to appease the fans.
I hated the change to ME3; it was unnecessary.
I do promise that KRD will only have a truly minimal impact on the story, even later as we get into FUMOFU and Second Raid. Really, we just wanted an excuse to put in better security for Kaname, because it was one of the things we always felt was missing from the Anime.
Now, I don't normally take up this much of your time with the a/n because I know you're more interested in the story, but I needed to get this off my chest. Again, I know I lost a few people due to the change I chose to make; but if you stuck with me and keep reading you will see that I am still the driving force behind this story and that I won't let KRD or Shadowrun take over. I didn't move it to crossover for a reason, it will never be a true crossover.
Love you all and enjoy the latest installment.

Kurz looked the strange man up and down in blatant assessment. All in all, he was rather non-descript. Short, spiky black hair. Lean, half-Japanese features. Fit, but not over muscled. His overall look would let him blend into a crowd quite easily. The only thing about him stood out were his eyes. Despite the fact he did not look one specific age, his eyes betrayed his age. There was a lot of experience and life in them, with a spark of mischievous humor.
He was fast, though. One of the paper bags in his hands had their handguns in it. In the split second it took for him to enter the room and set down the coffee, this man had also snatched the guns and put them in the bag without making a sound. That wasn't skillful, that should have been impossible.
"Sorry. I did not mean to be rude. I am Killroy Deathrax. Would you like the guns back or the rest of the doughnuts", he asked.
There was silence for a few seconds. Mao took a big bite out of her doughnut. "Mmmm. More of these, please. What kind of coffee?"
Killroy politely handed her the bag. "A little mom and pop place on Tsunade road. They make the doughnuts, too. My security team here in town has made it their second home."
He sets the bag of hardware on the end table by Sousuke, who immediately began pulling the guns out of the bag and handing them to his team.
"Seriously, though, you guys have been covering Ms. Chidori quite well given the fact you are only a three person team," He sounded quite impressed.
"It should be easier in two days. By then, your backup teams will be available to cover you when you might be busy. Though you shouldn't be. Ms. Chidori is our top priority. If some higher up tries to get you guys off the case and on to something else, let me know. I will have to have them detained and questioned for ties to Amalgam. You would not believe the sheer number of their operatives I have been finding."
Sousuke, having retrieved his pistol, joins the conversation. "I vaguely aware of them from when they tried to take Ms. Chidori before. They seem unduly interested in her. Do you have anything to add about them?"
"We have a file of the details you can peruse if you renew your contract", he answers. "The long and short of it is; however, they seem to be trying to corner the market on Black Box Technology," He reached out and snagged a coffee cup.
"I would go into further detail, but Sousuke and I have to meet Ms. Chidori at the train station. I have already set everything up with the school. I will be their new homeroom teacher. If either of you needs needs anything above and beyond the usual tell Ms. Testarosa that I said it was authorized. If all else fails, go to the Bob's down the road and ask for a Shadowrunner Chummer. They'll get you in contact with KRD security." He waited for Sousuke to once again pick up his school bag and headed for the door.
"Oh, and I would really like to keep you two of you with Mithril. The three of you make an excellent team. If the new pay doesn't suit you, call Kayla or Yama," he nodded to the two before opening the door and letting Sousuke walk through before him.
Sousuke and Killroy walked down the hall quietly. Killroy seemed to start to vibrate by the time they reached the elevators.
"Sergeant, I know you aren't going to leave Ms Chidori; and I have no problem with that. Your dedication to her has been nothing but an asset to your team and your effectiveness," They waited for the elevator to open while he spoke.
"That being said, you may want to rethink your decision to not actually live in the same building at least," the older man patted the younger on the shoulder in a fatherly way then changed the subject completely.
"Dude, you seriously need to invest in one of our coats or jackets. You'll thank me later."
Sousuke looks to Killroy. "Why is that?"
"The personal pocket dimension allows you to carry whatever you would like and not ruin the line of the jacket or put a giveaway twitch in your trousers. Makes carrying a decent arsenal a breeze."
Sousuke frowned. "A pocket dimension? If that were possible, the only problem would be keeping a proper inventory."
Killroy practically bounced with glee. "Kid, you are gonna love working for me. I swear, we have the best toys! The Ares line of firearms alone would make you drool! And all of them can be turned nonlethal! The cops here in Jindai have already converted from nine millimeter pistols to Ares Predators!"
As they exit the elevator, Sousuke shakes his head. "You are a weird individual."
"Hey!"
Hours later
Jindai high school
Lunch hour
Sousuke had been carefully watching Kaname throughout the day. Thanks to the 'incident'; as it was being called, he was now in all but one of her classes and that was gym. The principal of the school had made that change without any prompting from Mithril or KRD. She had also apparently taken KRD up on their added security for the school itself. From all that Sousuke had seen it was far superior to anything Mithril had, much less what they had been willing to give to the school. He was beginning to wonder if there weren't more to what Killroy had told them that morning.
"Ms. Chidori; my name is Killroy Deathrax and I am going to be your new homeroom teacher." He bowed briefly to her, as a senior to a junior. She returned the gesture automatically.
"Sensai Deathrax," she said respectfully. He watched how she moved closer to Sousuke, almost behind him and nodded to himself. She trusted the boy and that was good.
"I am also your boyfriend's new boss, miss. If you should need anything and he is unavailable you can call on me," he then bowed again and left them to make their way onto the train. Sousuke had to explain to a very confused Whispered what had transpired.
Now the military boy watched with concern as his Kana seemed to be more withdrawn than usual. He was afraid she was suffering undue trauma from her experience. Her friends had been good enough to ask only if she had been hurt and even though they had coddled her they hadn't pressed for any more detail. Yet not even her best friend Kyoko had been able to pull her completely out of her shell.
"Kaname, I would like to speak with you privately before our next class, will you come with me?" he said suddenly. She raised her brown eyes to his and nodded before rising from the table and gathering up their dirty lunch dishes. He helped her as so they could leave faster. He ran through the school blueprints in his mind and found the perfect place to go in order to speak with her.
He led her quickly through the halls, and grew even more concerned when she didn't begin yelling at him to slow down or demand to know where they were going. He found the door he was looking for and quickly pulled her inside and locked the door.
It was an old music room, and his memory was correct in that it was still soundproofed. He hoped it would allow her to feel secure enough to get her emotions out. He didn't like her holding whatever she was feeling in.
"You have been very quiet today, Kana; it has me concerned," he said; reaching out to pull her into a hug. She surprised him by wrapping her arms around his waist and holding tightly to him. When she started crying he became alarmed.
"Kana, what is wrong?" he asked her. He wanted to sound gentle, but he didn't know how.
"You're going to be taken away from me," she said through her tears. He gasped with understanding.
"No, my Kana, they are not," he assured her. She shook her head in denial.
"New leadership means they won't waste the money-" he kissed her to stop her talking. He had found it a most effective way to to make her stop talking as well as to make her listen to him.
"This Deathrax person has made it clear, he wants Urzu team to stay on the job; he's making it possible for me to stay with you," he said when she looked at him after he broke the kiss.
Her eyes widened when she realized that meant he wasn't leaving her.
"You're going to stay with me?" she asked with hope. He nodded curtly and she squealed and hugged him even more tightly.
Then she kissed him and passion flared between them like a sunburst. He gripped her ass and pulled her closer to him to deepen the kiss while her hands reached from under his arms to grip his shoulders tightly.
"Kana," he growled into her mouth as he lifted her higher. She whimpered with desire as his hardened cock rubbed against her. It had been over a month since he'd fucked her; far too long. He broke the kiss and quickly looked around. There was a pile of gym mats in a corner of the room.
"Sosuke," she pleaded. "Please!" His control nearly broke from the need in her voice. He swung her up into his arms and carried her quickly to the mats. Once more he kissed her while he slid his hands under her skirt and pulled down her panties. Her own hands weren't idle, she was busy pulling his jacket apart and opening his pants. While he was sliding his fingers through her pubic hair to spread the lips of her pussy she grasped his dick in her slender fingers.
"Aaah," he moaned, unable to make any coherent sound. The heat and wetness of her pussy combined with the feel of her hand squeezing him prevented him from thinking anything. He moved her hand and guided himself to her opening. He started slowly thrusting into her, but she started cumming immediately his head was inside her. He growled something she didn't understand and wrapped his arms under her to begin pounding into her. She responded by locking her ankles together with her legs on his slender hips and using her elbows to leverage her hips up to meet his thrusts.
"Kana!" he shouted when she kept milking his dick with her pussy.
"Yes!" she shouted as well as she kept cumming. He shouted again, this time wordlessly as he pumped his seed into her. He collapsed upon her when he was finished, panting heavily from the suddenness of their exertions. They dozed like that for a while.
"Habibi," she heard him mutter in his sleep. It sounded as if it were Islamic; which would make sense as he had spent so much time in Afghanistan when he was a child. She had woken when he shifted his weight so he was lying beside her. She took out her cell phone and looked at the time.
"Ack!" she said, a little more loudly than she intended. He jerked awake, pulling his gun and aiming it at the door. At first she was startled by the action and his speed; then she really looked at him. He was sitting there with his back against the blind covered window, his pants open and his penis bare to the world with his gun drawn on a locked door. She couldn't help herself and started laughing.
Sousuke realized there was no threat when he heard her laughter. He put his gun away and looked at her with confusion.
"What is so amusing, Kaname?" he asked her, standing up and straightening his clothes. She laughed even harder. He frowned at her and looked at his watch. He was surprised to see that they had only ten minutes until the bell for class rang.
"Kana, please put yourself to rights, class will be starting soon," he said in his matter of fact way. She laughed even more, curling into a ball on the mats as she laughed. He frowned again as he watched her.
"Kana-chan, what is so amusing?" he asked her. He had to wait for her to wind down before she could answer him, breathlessly.
"You were ready to shoot someone with your penis hanging out of your pants," she said to him. He shook his head to show his confusion. She chuckled and rose to put her panties back on.
"Sousuke, it was funny to me, don't worry about it," she said as she headed for the door. He reached out and took her hand in his. She turned to face him, her eyes wide with expectation.
"I am sorry to have …" he seemed at a loss for a word.
"Fucking me?" Kaname asked, and he could tell the word; as well as the concept, was distasteful to her. He also decided, right then, he didn't like hearing her say it. Especially in conjunction with herself.
Four hours later
Outside Kaname's apartment complex.
The ride home had been uneventful. It had been nice having him on the train with her, instead of just there. Even when he had made it clear they were dating, he hadn't actually done more than walk behind her when they were going home. She wasn't sure he understood the whole dating concept.
But today had been different. He had met her at the train station, sure; but he walked to the station with her after school. He sat beside her on the train, even held her hand. She had enjoyed it.
Now they were outside her apartment building and he was going to leave her there alone, and she felt frightened. She didn't want him to leave her alone. After they had come back from the Tuatha this time she hadn't wanted to be alone at all; this was unlike her. She just couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was going to happen to her, again. She knew it was unlikely, she knew all three of her bodyguards would be more on guard than they had before; but still.
She turned her blue-black head to look at her bodyguard cum lover and squeezed his hand tightly.
"Don't leave me alone," she pleaded with him. His frown of concern gave her hope.
"I cannot stay with you, Kaname, it will draw attention," he told her. Tears welled up in her brown eyes and she started to shake. He saw her fear, and then watched as her eyes began to frost over. He could actually feel her pulling away from him. He wasn't sure how he could feel that, her withdrawal from him.
"Fine," she said; he could see her swallow her fear. He watched her turning back into the girl she had been before Okinawa.
"Kana-"
"No, it's okay. I understand; you have to worry about how it will look," she turned away, attempting to withdraw her hand from his. He didn't let go. He felt strange a heat filling his chest, rising up and causing a buzzing in his ears.
"Kaname Chidori, stop talking," he ordered her softly. She turned back to face him with a look of shock. "You will explain that statement," he said as he pulled her off the sidewalk and into the shadow of the building, keeping her close to him. "Because if you mean what I think you mean we will have a problem," he finished with soft menace. She raised her chin with false bravado, trying to show she wasn't intimidated.
"You won't stay with me because you have to worry how it will look to Mithril," she said, and cursed herself for the tremor in her voice. How had this boy's opinion come to mean so much to her in so short a time?
She began to tremble harder when his brown eyes went from merely annoyed to black with anger. She didn't know what he was going to do when he raised his left hand and pressed the left button on his collar.
"Mao, disconnect all surveillance at Kaname's domicile, now" his voice was ice cold, his body rigid. He was clearly furious. She heard a squawk from his earpiece, but he simply repeated his command. When he heard the click that told him the listening device in his clothing was disconnected he reached down and swung Kaname up over his shoulder.
He was inside the building before she could do more than squeak. He didn't take the elevator to her apartment on the fifth floor, he ran up the stairs. He wasn't even breathing hard when they reached the landing to her floor; but she was still speechless from the shock of it.
When he reached into his pocket and pulled a key to her door she almost found her voice; but then he was inside and had slammed and locked the door before she could do more than take a deep breath.
Yet for all his anger and rushed movements he had been sure not to cause her hurt and even now when he put her down he did so gently.
"Now, why do you think that I care if Mithril knows you are mine?" he asked her, again with that soft menace. He had placed his pack next to the door, he was now unbuttoning his coat as he walked towards her, maneuvering her back to her bedroom. She swallowed when she realized just how angry he was.
"Sou-Sousuke, I didn't mean-" she started to say when he cupped the back of her head and brought her mouth to his for a punishing kiss that left her breathless.
"Answer the question, Kana mine," he demanded against her lips.
"You said you couldn't stay because it would draw attention," she whispered back, he could feel her trembling in his hands. He kissed her again, deeply; his hands quickly removing the blouse of her school uniform.
They had reached the door to her bedroom which was open. He had dropped her blouse and his shirt just outside; he had already kicked off his shoes and was now unfastening her skirt. Once it was on the floor he lifted her by the waist and tossed her onto her bed. She landed with a soft wumf and he took the time to remove her shoes and then his pants and underwear.
She raised herself up on her elbows, planting her stocking clad heels on the bed and looked at the Sergeant. She swallowed hard when she saw him standing there; fully erect and his entire body wound tight as if ready for a fight. From where she lay she could feel the ferocity in him, the anger.
"Sousuke, please," she whispered; a fear of him sneaking in. He surged onto the bed, between her legs and into her in one swift move; his mouth clamping onto hers with barely restrained violence.
Kaname was shocked to discover she was wet and ready for him, was even more surprised when she started cumming once he was fully inside her. He growled in her ear, she thought it was her name but wasn't sure. He shifted her so her legs were held apart by his thighs, she was more open to his invasion than before.
Invade her he did; he gave her no chance to recover from her sudden orgasm. He withdrew almost completely from her tight sheath only to slam hard into her. Her pussy was grasping to hold him inside her but he was implacable in his movements.
Sousuke Sagara wasn't thinking this time any more than he had in the old music room earlier that day. He heard her gasping his name as her body came undone beneath him and it urged him to keep going. All he knew was she had tried to take herself away from him; and he wasn't letting her go.
No one was taking her from him; not even her.
Kaname kept repeating his name as he moved inside her, almost all the way out and then slamming into her with a ferocity that bordered on painful. He kept his mouth hovering above hers as he did; letting her speak until her voice started to rise. Then he sealed his mouth over hers, breathing harshly through his nose. Her cries became whimpers, she finally grasped his shoulders with her hands, her nails digging into the muscles. As her body relaxed under him he changed his strokes to something more gentle; although no less frustrating for the Whispered girl.
"You are mine, Kana-chan, never forget it," he said into her ear. Then he pulled out of her and turned her over, onto her knees and elbows. This time he had his legs outside of hers as he thrust into her. She was always tight on him but this time he almost didn't fit inside her. She started to scream when he leaned forward and covered her mouth.
"Bite your pillow, Kaname," he ordered before he removed his hand and gripped her hips with both hands again. He looked down as he thrust into her, watching her full ass shake as he slammed into her. Hearing her grunt and moan as he did drove him over the edge; he lost control.
Kaname wasn't sure how it happened, but she was suddenly lying on her stomach on the bed, the full weight of him driving her into the mattress as he thrust into her. She couldn't believe how good it felt. She thought, briefly, that she should be terrified of this but instead she was cumming harder than she had since he first fucked her.
She didn't kid herself that he wasn't fucking her now, though. She could feel each of his fingers as they gripped her ass. She heard him murmuring Kana over and over; and she had cum repeatedly. He wasn't trying to please her, though. Somehow she knew this was something far more primal.
He stopped moving long enough to nearly howl in frustration before turning her back over. He lifted her left leg and hooked it over her shoulder; keeping her right leg hooked around his thigh. When he looked at her face, he could see tears rolling out of the corner of her eye but wasn't sure what it meant.
And at that moment he didn't care, he simply reached between her legs and tugged gently on her clit. The contrast between that and the violence of his thrusts sent her over the edge once again, this time he didn't try and keep her from crying out; this time he came with her.
They both slept for an hour when Kaname woke with a start, causing him to awaken as well. He heard her crying and frowned. In the fading afternoon light he saw her flinch from his hand when he reached for her and it caused him to still.
"Kana?" he said, and he heard a tone in his voice he'd never heard before. He also felt something cold start in his chest when she had pulled away.
"Don't," she whispered quietly.
"I don't understand," he said. She looked up at him, and she could see he truly was confused.
"Don't pretend I matter," she said by way of explanation. "Because I know I don't," there was no mistaking the heartbreak in her voice and Sosuke knew he'd put it there. He'd done it; although he didn't know how.
"What did I do wrong?" he asked her, and if Kaname hadn't known he truly didn't know what he'd done she would have gotten angry; but she couldn't even laugh.
"Why did you fuck me like that?" she asked him, some part of her feeling satisfaction when he flinched at her use of the verb. "Even when you were fucking me before, it wasn't like that," she went on. Seeing his eyes squinch with her use of the vulgar term eased some of the bile that was rising in her throat.
"I wasn't fucking you," he said. Oh she wanted to believe him; but how could she.
"The only reason you saved me from those Americans for America assholes was because I am easy pussy," she said. He heard, but didn't understand the bitterness that came out of her mouth.
"You tell me to spread my legs and I do; I don't even try to stop you!" She stood up from her bed to face him, wearing nothing more than her white bra and white stockings. Her hair had come out of it's confinement and was flying around her face.
"You only ever have to say stop" he said to her and she screamed in frustration.
"You wouldn't even let me speak just now!" she shouted at him. That she was angry was clear, and he knew he should be glad she was yelling at him, but he wasn't sure he actually deserved to be yelled at. This was a first for him, not thinking she had the right to berate him.
"You accused me of caring more for Mithirl's opinion of me than I care for you," he said with a vehemence that matched her own. He had even moved so he was standing naked before her. He kept his hands at his sides, although hers were now akimbo on her hips.
"You said it would cause undue attention!" She shouted at him, trying to use sheer volume to make him smaller than her since he towered over her by half a foot.
"Yes, it would cause you embarrassment if it got back to the school that I had spent the night!" he shouted right back in her face.
That took the wind out of her sails.
"What?" she said softly, suddenly embarrassed.
"I told you I didn't care if they knew we were dating, I am proud that you are mine," he reminded her in his normal tone of voice. "I will not; however, have any of the men in that school assuming that they can have sex with you just because you have sex with me," he said. His voice had taken on that possessive tone she had first heard three months before. The possessiveness that she heard when he called her 'Kana'.
"Oh," she replied, lowering her head in shame. She heard an exasperated sound explode from his chest before he lifted her head up.
"Kana mine, you are allowed to be angry," he said. His voice was softer, if not gentle. "I am sorry if you thought; ever thought, that you had no say in what we do together," he said with a seriousness that startled her. "I will stop if," he stopped speaking when she kissed him as ferociously as he had kissed her earlier.
"I was afraid," she said, and he felt that chill again.
"Of me?"
"A little, yes," she admitted, and he pulled back from her. "No, don't leave me," she said with a desperation he didn't like to hear from her.
"I -" he stopped. "Kana, did you not want me to have sex with you?" he finally asked, unsure if it was the right thing to do. She lowered her eyes and took a deep breath before shaking her head in the negative.
"It's not that, Sousuke," she said. "No, I didn't want to have sex," she said, only to hold his arms tighter when he again tried to pull away. "I don't mean that you forced me!" she said vehemently. "I, I just- it just felt like you were using it to punish me," she finished quietly.
Sousuke thought about what she said, not sure exactly how to answer her. He went with the truth; as always.
"I was not thinking of punishing you, Kana-chan," he replied after a few moments. "I-I heard you say that I was worried about how it looked, and it - felt- like you were going to tell me you were leaving me," Her innocent brown eyes widened with shocked understanding of what that meant. "I only thought that no one was taking you from me; not even you," he swallowed as the implication of what that meant for him began to fill his mind.
"Stupid," she said with sudden humor before she kissed him softly. "You should have asked why I wanted you to stay," she whispered in his ear as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her body close to his.
