Chapter 10 (Part 1): Tomoka Kusoniki

There was never a more cheerful morning. A petite girl with her red hair neatly cut into pixie look, walked into the classroom. Her shirt barely reached up to her mid-waist, evidently made shorter for attention. With the tie conveniently absent, first two buttons of her blouse undone showing off a hint of her cleavage. Three alice controlling devices pierced her right ear lobe and another one adorned her left hand in the form of a bracelet. She looked more mature for her age, but that was because she indeed was. Doing missions in the dangerous ability class exposes you to the harsh realities of life, and age wasn't a limitation.

Tomoka Kusoniki was 13 and a half, yet she understood about the outside world better than any of the students older than her. As she walked towards her seat, one of the boys flipped up her skirt, but before he look get a look at what he wanted, his face met with a fist.

"Perv," she muttered as she walked to her seat. The victim on her fist sat with a blood soaked tissue to his nose.

"That's what you get from messing with a Dangerous Ability," his friend mocked him as he helped him stand up.

"Settle down people," Narumi announced as he entered the room. He started his boring lecture and as usual Kusoniki dozed off.

"Tomoka-chan!" A small boy of about six years called out to her, vehemently waving his hand to show off his new watch to his best friend. "See what Otousan sent for my birthday. A cool watch, isn't it?"

"Wow, Haru-kun!" The six-year-old Kusoniki explained. "It really is cool."

"Ne, Tomoka-chan," he said with a serious expression. "Is it true that you are being transferred to Dangerous Abilities?" He shook in fear as he spoke the last two words.

"Huh? Where did you hear such silly rumors?" Kusoniki asked him.

"Everyone's talking about it," he reached out her hand and comforted her. "Tomoka-chan I'm worried about you."

"Don't worry Haru-kun, I'll be just fine," she gave him a huge smile and a warm hug.

"Kusoniki. Report to the DA HQ," A voice on the intercom speaker interrupted her sweet dream. She knew the voice well. It was his voice. The pixie haired girl stood up and walked out of the class, the whispers didn't stop even after her exit. Narumi had to quiet the class up.

"I heard Kusoniki does the missions which even the senior division students fail at," one student whispered.

"No way!" Another student replied.

"Yeah, the other day a senpai was talking about it. He said she's the best they've got in DA right now."

"I heard she's a murderer."

"Of course she is. There's no doubt about it. Have you seen the aura she emits? It's like she was born to kill."

"I also heard she's really hot in bed too," one of the boys chuckled.

"Yeah she's been with almost every senior division student I know of."

"That's enough talk on Tomoka Kusoniki!" Narumi warned them, "Focus on the lesson!"

"Hand over that blueprint now!" Kusoniki said as she grabbed the neck of her victim.

"It...it's...in...the la...lab," he managed to speak out as he choked. She hurled him on the floor, kicked him hard on his stomach just when he landed on the ground. He winced in pain. She took out her gun and pointed it at him. "Please I told you what you needed. Please let me go," he begged. She pulled the trigger without even considering his request. He was dead. She truly was merciless. She observed his looks carefully and morphed herself in his likeness. She then walked into the laboratory.

"Dr. Fujiwara," A lab technician greeted her. He was completely unaware that the man in front of him was not but a girl who was about to end his life.

"The blueprints for the Alice Project," She demanded. She was stern and demanding. never talked that way to him. He was confused.

"Sir?" He asked her again.

"I said the blueprints!" She had lost her patience. She took out her gun and threatened him. The poor fellow opened the safe using his keys. The keys slipped from his trembling hands. "Faster, you son of a bitch!" Kusoniki hit him hard. He managed to open it for her. She snatched the blueprints titled "Project Alice." She double checked it. Yes, it was the object she was sent to retrieve on her mission. She zipped open her jacket and kept the papers in there.

The technician took the opportunity to run for his life, but he couldn't even make it to the door. She was sharp, agile and fast. She knew well that no witnesses should ever escape. That was a rule which every DA student was well aware of. The last blurred images technician saw, was turn into a red haired girl, walking victoriously out of the lab.

"Here," she said as she flung the blueprints on Persona's desk later that evening.

"Impressive as always. You finished the mission faster than I expected," Persona said.

"Yeah. Piece of cake," she said as she flipped her hair. "I'll be needing a new supplies of bullets."

"Done," Persona assured her. "Take a night's rest. I want you ready for tomorrow's mission."

"Whatever," She mumbled as she walked out. Persona knew well she wasn't gonna "rest" that night. She never did. She would prefer doing something else. Something more enjoyable than sleeping. It was her routine after almost every mission.

"You seem very busy these days Kusoniki," Said a blond middle division student as he unhooked her bra. "We barely met this week."

"Missions. Can't help it senpai," she told him, though he was too busy to listen to her answer. He was trailing a path of wet hot kisses all over her back. She moaned as he bit her nape. He turned her, to face him, he wanted to see her face when he sucked onto her. He continued doing what he was best at. She moaned in pleasure as he went further downwards.

FLASHBACK:

"Tomoka! I have liked you ever since we were kids," Haru was standing at her window holding her hand.

"Haru..." she touched his face, caressing his cheek softly. "I..I..like you too..." Tears of joy rolled down the cheeks of the 11 year old Scarlet. "I always have..."

"So will you be my girlfriend?" She nodded in agreement.

"Now stop crying, you baka!" He wiped off her tears. And leaned in slowly to give the 11 year old her first kiss. The two were smiling like idiots. And so the childhood friends turned to lovers.

A knock on Tomoka's dorm door broke the two apart. "Bedtime. Lights out," Takahashi, the robotic matron said.

"I should probably go." Haru gave a peek on her cheek and jumped off. Giving the three star room a last glance he went back to his dorm.

She woke up with a start. Glanced at the clock. It was barely five in the morning. Kusoniki sneaked out of the boy's bed. He was too busy snoring. She put on his shirt, for he had torn hers last night, and walked out. She slipped out without even making a slightest bit of noise, which in the end wasn't too difficult for her.

She sighed as she laid down on her king size bed in her special star room. Threw aside the shirt, which landed on the floor scattered with books, clothes and bits of snack food. She snuggled into her warm cozy blanket and closed her eyes for the little sleep she needed.

"Kusoniki's back?" A young male student asked.

"Yup, she was with me last night," his blonde friend assured him.

"You dog!" His friend hit him jokingly on his head. "You could have called me. I wanted to meet the Legendary Kusoniki."

"Well, she barged into my room at around 8 last night and started 'attacking' me. The next thing I remember is waking up naked in my bed today morning," he smirked.

"Introduce me to her next time. It's not fair that you have all the fun," his friend complained.

"That was the first time I'd seen her all week. She's very busy these days. Missions and stuff."

"Is that all she ever does? Missions and screwing?" His friend wondered.

"She's strange. She's 13 but she sure is good in bed. I heard she's a badass of a fighter, too."

"The best in Dangerous Abilities. Almost as good as Persona. Some say even better." His friend added.

"Persona?" A tall guy with shoulder length straight black hair joined the conversation, "Why are we talking about the Dangerous Abilities all of a sudden?" He questioned his two friends.

"Yo! Tono what's up man!" The blonde gave him a high five. So did the other guy.

"Yo! Ken! Shinji. Why the sudden interest in DA?"

"It's not DA, its Kusoniki we're talking about," the blonde guy, Kazu replied.

"Kusoniki?" Tono questioned.

"Don't tell me a player like you doesn't know who Tomoka Kusoniki is?" Shinji smacked him in a friendly manner. "Kusoniki,13 years old. A first year junior division. Class 1-B. Currently best DA member in the Academy and apparently hottest in bed too."

"I'm really not into younger girls you know," Tono joked.

"Shut up man," Kazu said. "We all know that you don't care at all about age. "Kazu showed him a picture of Scarlet he had in his cell phone.

"She seems interesting," Tono said as he examined the photo closely, observing all her curves and crevices. "Very interesting."

It was five in evening and the last bell for the day echoed in the hallways outside the empty Class 1-B. It wasn't completely empty actually. A certain red haired girl was packing up her bag and preparing to leave. She had the cleaning duty this week, so she was the last one to leave the class. As if missions weren't enough, to deal with and she was given another stinking job.

"Tomoka Kusoniki," she looked at the class door and saw her sempai blocking the exit.

"Akira Tonochi," she greeted coldly. He walked towards her, while loosening up his tie.

"You know my name. Gotta say I am getting more and more impressed," he smirked, cornering her towards the wall as he spoke.

"What do you want?" She was in no mood of wasting her time.

"Relax, baby," he drawled as he caged her, raised her chin towards his face and narrowed the distance between them.

"Piss off man!" She pushed him away. "I'm really tired, okay?"

"Well then this should be a stress buster for you then." He was persistent. He grabbed her hand and caught her in his embrace. Before she could protest further he smashed his lips onto hers. She struggled at first, but he had a charm which she couldn't resist. Tono was a great kisser, after all. She gave in. And the two began devouring each. Hungrily. They kissed each other's throat with their tongues. Gasping for air, they parted.

"I knew you'd enjoy it," he said messing with her hair.

"Shut up," she muttered while getting rid of his tie all together and proceeded to get rid of his belt. He on the other hand was caressing her smooth well-toned thighs, her extra short shirt made it easier for him to do that. His hands made their way up, to the rim of her skirt which he soon disposed of, revealing her sexy panties.

"Nice choice," he admired the underwear of the 13 year old.

"Your's too," she smirked at his briefs. Only then did he realize that his pants were long gone, he was so absorbed in admiring her thighs he didn't notice her undoing his pants.

"You've already done the first two for me, how thoughtful," he thanked her for having her first two buttons already undone. He continued the job by undoing the rest. After it was done the shirt was tossed off and it probably landed on one of the benches. He started alternately kissing and nibbling her soft skin. She moaned in pleasure. She didn't want to admit it to him, but Tono was the best she'd ever done. He got rid of her black lacy bra and continued what he was doing, at the same time he slowly laid her down on the freshly cleaned floor down. "You have an amazing body Kusoniki. Best ever in my opinion." Tono said as Kusoniki mentally thanked herself of cleaning the floor earlier. And the two went on and on all the way...

FLASHBACK:

"Let's grab some fluff puffs." Kusoniki literally pulled Haru's sleeve.

"Yeah..Yeah...calm down," her boyfriend said. "I can't understand your fetish for this awful cotton stuff."

"Hey don't call it just some 'cotton stuff'. It's fluff puff and its cute and sweet," she said as she reached the shop. "Hmmm…"That's delicious. She said as she ate her first piece.

"Hey check it out its Haruko and Tomoka!" A group of junior division school boys arrived at the spot.

"Hey guys," Haru greeted them. Kusoniki gave them a distasteful look. They looked like punks.

"Aren't you going to greet us missy?" A tall boy asked.

"Yeah it's rude not to greet your boyfriend's pals" his friend supported. Kusoniki gave Haru a hard look. He looked away.

"I hate delinquents," she got angry and stormed off as she stepped onto one of the guys shoes on purpose.

"Hey!" He yelled out.

"Your girl's quite a fire Haru!" His friends teased him.

"Speaking of fire…." Another one elbowed him, "Tell us about her in bed,"

"Yeah man! I bet she's really good!"

"I...I-I don't know….we haven't…"

"Don't tell me that. You've known her since like preschool, still you haven't done it with her?"

"But-" Haru tried to protest.

"Tch, and your call yourself cool?" The tall guy said.

"Yeah man! I can't believe I'm a friend with this uncool virgin,"

Haruko looked down in despair. He wanted to fit in this 'cool' gang, but how?

Kusoniki watched the entire incident from afar hoping Haru wouldn't fall in their trap. She closed her eyes….

One year later. Kusoniki:14 Tono:16

Kusoniki opened her eyes."Good morning," Tono yawned as he leaned and planted a kiss on her lips. She woke up with the kiss.

"'Morning Tono-senpai," Kusoniki greeted him, rubbing her eyes. Her shoulder length red locks were messy from the steamy night she had. She had grown her hair over the year. Tono suggested it to her. She got up from the bed, stark naked and started fishing for her clothes in the mess on the floor, not bothering to even wrap a blanket around her body. She found her panties on the floor beneath the bed, she got up and slid her smooth legs in.

Usually she leaves way before the guy wakes up, but it's different with Tono. He'd told her once, "Tomoka, I don't like to wake up alone in bed after having such a lovely time with you the previous night," so she'd always stay till he woke up. She had gotten a lot closer to him in last one year. They were both very similar after all. He was her favorite sempai.

"Over there," Tono pointed out her bra for her, which rested on his study table.

"Thanks, Senpai," Kusoniki replied. Tono winked. She dressed up perfectly, so perfectly that no one could make out that she just had hot sex last night, after all she was an expert at this.

She picked up her bag and made her way to the door.

"Hey! Tomoka don't forget your keys," Tono reminded her. Last mo he'd given her spare keys to his room.

"Oh! Shit I totally forgot about those, where are they?" Kusoniki said with a worried expression on her face. Tono smirked as he jingled the keys in his hands.

"Sempai!" She lunged for them. He dodged.

"After another round, okay?" He whispered in her ears.

"What? Are you out of your mind? We'll be late for breakfast, you dumbass!" She was right.

"Besides don't you have to study? You've your finals coming up. If you flunk you'll never make it to high school next year!" He grabbed her and tossed her on bed. Him on top of her.

"Relax babe," he said tasting her neck which still was fresh, even after last night. "I didn't get those freaking triple stars for nothing. Your Tono-senpai's a genius," he started undressing her.

"You're impossible sempai," she muttered. "You've told me earlier, I wouldn't have gone through the trouble of dressing up again, you know. Ahhh...Sempai!..." He had just left a hickey on inside of her thigh.

"But I just love undressing you...To-mo-ka..."

"I told you we'd be late for breakfast," Kusoniki complained as she entered the cafeteria to find all the counters empty. Thanks to a certain someone they arrived past the breakfast time and it was cleared up. "And I'm starving," she complained.

"I just had the best breakfast ever back in my room," he joked.

"You're hopeless," she smacked him friendly.

"Kusoniki report to DA immediately," the intercom announced. She sighed. Probably another damn mission.

"That's my cue. Gotta go. See ya," she said as she ran down the hallway.

"Yeah. Call me when you get back," he waved. He knew she'd come first to his room, after she returned.

"Your mission for today: the AAO. We've observed their activity since a long time now. Their boss it seems is a clone of the ESP, but he's out of our control. Your mission today is to sneak into AAO southern HQ located near a warehouse in south of Tokyo. That division is under control of a man named Zagi. He has the pain inflicting alice. Be careful I heard he's one of the strongest members of AAO. We want you to find out about 'that woman'. She was last spotted at this HQ with her 'partner'. We're suspecting she has made a pact with AAO. Capture Zagi and find out about it. Got it?" Persona was never this precise in describing a mission for her. This must be important. Persona's trying to get his hands on 'that woman' for a while now. Kusaniki wondered just how important 'that woman' must be for the ESP.

'But doesn't he already have that Luna bitch serving his ass. Then what does he want 'her' for?' She wondered as she walked out of the gates. She gave a one last glance at the Academy before sitting in the car. She never knew that this was the last time she'd ever see the academy as a student. Next time she'd be coming to these gates, she wouldn't be a student, but a something far different.

What dark path may await Tomoka Kusoniki? Stay tuned to find out.
