9559. Kongo, Kirishima, no matter how satisfying it may feel, you can't murder Hiei's ex. That's a surefire way to land yourselves in the brig.
9559a. "Don't worry Onee-chan, imouto-chan. Haruna handled it."
"Imouto-chan, how do I look?" asked Hiei. "It's not too gaudy, is it?"
"Onee-chan, you look perfectly fine." said Haruna, smiling.
"Just fine?" asked Hiei, causing Haruna to sigh.
"Fine as in drop-dead gorgeous, make every other woman invisible, that sort of thing." said Haruna. "Hiei, you're the fashionista of us all. Whatever you wear will knock Kito-san's socks off."
"I know," said Hiei. "but, I want this to be perfect."
"Oh?" asked Haruna. "Something special happening today?"
"Well, I'm not sure you're old enough to hear this one yet, imouto-chan." said Hiei with a grin, causing Haruna to playfully swat her with her magazine.
"Now I need to know." said Haruna. "Spill it."
"I'm thinking that tonight's the night me and Takashi-san make it to third base."
"Third base?" Haruna sputtered. "That third base?"
"Yes." said Hiei. "We've been at this for almost seven months now, and I think we're ready for the next step."
"Wow."
"Really? "Wow?" That's it?" joked Hiei. "No "Oh my God, my sister's purity!"?"
"That's Kirishima's thing." said Haruna. "I'm just happy that you found someone to share yourself with."
Hiei laughed. "I think Mutsu is starting to rub off on you, little sister."
"Perhaps." said Haruna, looking at her watch. "Say, it's almost three. You ready to go?"
"Almost. Just let me get my raincoat."br /br /Twenty minutes later...
"Alright." said Hiei, grabbing her bag from the backseat. "Takashi-san shouldn't get off shift for another two hours, so I have enough time to get everything ready."
"Everything?"
"Yeah. I'm gonna try that whole romantic candlelight dinner thing tonight. The website I used said that's the best way to get one into the mood."
Haruna laughed bemusedly. "Just don't burn the apartment down, onee-san."
"Hey!" said Hiei, swiping her little sister playfully. "That happened one time! And it was not my fault."
At Haruna's raised eyebrow, she wilted slightly. "Okay. Maybe it was half my fault. But, in my defense, either Kirishima-chan or Washington-chan should have marked that box flammable."
Haruna merely shook her head in amusement. "Just have fun, Hiei. Oh, and when you get back Monday, I want the details. All of them."
Hiei smiled and waved goodbye, heading up the stairs to Takashi's apartment, while Haruna stopped starting her car to answer a text from
Mutsu: Hey beautiful. You on your way back?
Haruna: Just about to leave. What's up?
Mutsu: Which sounds better? On Wings of Love or Journey to the Shore?
Haruna: How about Wings? Can't go wrong with the classics.
Mutsu: Ok. See you soon.
Haruna turned her Treuno over, but before she pulled out, she heard a door slam open, followed by a woman angrily shouting something. A woman who sounded very familiar. Looking back towards the building, she saw her older sister bolt down the stairs, followed by her boyfriend wearing only his boxers. Easily outpacing him, Hiei ran towards Haruna's car and jumped, not even fastening her seatbelt before telling her sister to floor it.
Once they had gotten a few blocks away, Haruna pulled into another parking lot and stopped the car, letting a sobbing Hiei bury herself into her arms.
"Takashi-san is," said Hiei through her tears. "having an affair."
At Haruna's choked gasp, she continued. "I heard noises when I walked in, and I caught him with another woman."
"Oh, Onee-chan, I'm so sorry." said Haruna as she held her sister close. "I'm so sorry."
"I thought he was the one." mumbled Hiei quietly.
...
A couple hours later, outside Takashi's apartment.
"Remember Kirishima, we have to be quick." said Kongou. "If he gets off a scream, we won't have enough time to do ti properly."
"Right, Onee-sama!" said Kirishima. "He will not make a sound!"
"Good." said Kongou grimly. "Now, I got some of the Yubari's more painful tools, so if we do this right, we can make this last a long tim-"
The sound of a hand pounding on the Aqua's door caused both battleships to jump. Turning to the driver's side, they saw a visibly breathless Haruna leaning against Kongou's car.
"Imouto-chan?!" gasped Kongou. "What are you doing here?"
"Stopping the two of you before you do something extremely stupid." panted Haruna.
"What?!" said Kirishima. "Haruna, you can't be serious! He hurt Hiei-chan!"
"You want him to get away with it?" asked Kongou incredulously. Hiei and Haruna were thick as thieves, and the only reason why they hadn't taken her along was becuase Haruna had refused to leave her older sister's side.
"No, but what the two of you are planning isn't going to solve anything."
"He deserves what's coming to him!" retorted Kirishima.
"He does, little sister." snapped Haruna. "But Hiei doesn't."
"Huh?"
"Think, both of you." continued Haruna. "Our sister is hurting. Badly. But, ultimately, which is going to hurt Hiei-chan worse? The fact that her boyfriend cheated on her, or that fact that two of her sisters ended up in prison for murder?"
Haruna's two sisters looked at each other, reason slowly overtaking the rage that had been built up in the both of them.
"You're right, Haruna-chan." said Kongou somberly. "We'd only hurt Hiei worse."
"We were just so..so angry." added Kirishima.
"I know, but killing Hiei's ex, no matter how satisfying it would feel, isn't going to help our sister. What Hiei needs right now is us by her side, to show that she's not alone. Right?"
Both her sisters nodded in agreement, so Haruna continued. "Now, why don't the two of you head back, and I'll follow in a few minutes. I really pushed my engine to catch up with you two."
As Haruna watched Kongou's car slip from view, she turned and walked up the stairs to Takashi's apartment. While killing him was completely out of the question, he had broken her sister's heart, something that she wasn't about to let go unpunished.
...
Kito Takashi grumbled as he went to answer his door, wondering if maybe Hiei had come back. Doing his best to look remorseful, he put some drops in his eyes to simulate tears while he thought up some cheesy heartfelt plea that Hiei could fall for. But, as he opened his door, he came face to face with a woman who wasn't Hiei.
It was far worse.
Having turned fully Abyssal while waiting for him to open the door, Haruna's hand clamped down on Takashi's throat, lifting him off his feet while she used her free hand to close the door.
"Hello, Takashi." said Haruna grimly.
Takashi's only response was a choked gasp as Haruna lifted him ever further off the floor.
"I just spent the last few minutes convincing my sisters not to kill you." continued Haruna. "So, now that that's out of the way, let's chat."
She loosened the grip on his throat just enough to allow him to breathe, but Takashi was still two feet off the ground.
"My sister fell in love with you." said Haruna, lowering Takashi until he was eye level with her. "She was ready to give herself to you earlier today, before she caught you in bed with a cheap woman, and I don't know when she'll ever be the same again."
Takashi was sweating bullets now as he felt Haruna's eyes boring into his soul.
"The only reason why you are still alive right now is because a cheating dog like you isn't worth the effort." said Haruna. "But, know this. If your lying, cheating ass comes within two miles of my sister ever again, you and I will have another "talk". And that time, I won't be so merciful. Is that clear?"
The tone of Haruna's voice scared Takashi to his core, and Haruna put him down in disgust as she heard him wet himself.
"I'll ask again, Takashi. Are we clear?"
"Yes! Yes!" whined Takashi. "Don't kill me, please!"
"Good." said Haruna, returning to her normal form. "In that case, there's just one thing left to do."
With that, Haruna backhanded Takashi, sending the cheat flying into his couch.
"That one's for my sister, you son of a bitch!"
"In all fairness," she mused to herself as she drove back to the base. "I only promised to not to kill him. Harming him on the other hand..."
A few minutes later, she entered her house, and, bidding goodnight to her girlfriend, joined the rest of her sisters in Hiei's room
"Sleep well, onee-san. We're all here for you," thought Haruna as she drifted off to sleep, holding Hiei in a protective embrace.
