Chapter Three

"Forever lailala lailalala. Hito shizuku no hamon. Forever…" Misao sang softly. Kaoru smiled as she watched her friend dancing around the room as she went to retrieve a few books on a shelf. She didn’t mind Misao’s singing. The girl had a sweet voice, but at the moment it contrasted slightly with this song by L’arc en Ciel.

The door to their room was open by Hajime Tokio. She smiled as she watched Misao dancing around. Her braid swinging back and forth as she moved her body around to the beat. "Misao…Kaoru, may I speak to you for a moment about something."

"Sure," Kaoru murmured pausing the stereo for a moment.

"Hyde’s voice…ahhh…" Misao said dreamily as she drifted back to reality. "He’s so kawaii."

"He looks slightly albino these days."

"But his voice…mmmm…" Misao’s eyes turned heart shaped and sparkly.

"Misao!" Kaoru smacked the other girl behind the head with a textbook.

Misao rubbed the back of her head which now sported a small bump and glared at Kaoru. The young girls turned to look at Tokio who took a seat on one of the girls’ beds. "Micaela Lavender is still lose right now."

"I thought the other group took care of it," Kaoru replied as she set a textbook down.

The older woman shook her head. "No…they took down Patrick Lecross, one of her closer associates. She knows we’re coming after her. Have I ever explained the other team to you?"

"Here and there," Misao replied sprawled on to the bed.

"As you know, you three were chosen out of many to be taken from your original orphanages, and to be raised as my own daughters. Hiko-san and Saitou-anata chose you three girls by looking at your ki," Tokio began.

"Ki? As in battle spirit? Megumi has no ki!" Kaoru exclaimed a bit surprised at the news.

"Oh yes she does. But she just happens to focus it elsewhere. She is quite the hacker you know," Tokio answered with a soft smile. "Three other boys were chosen by Hiko-san and Saitou-anata, those three were to be raised by Hiko-san himself. He chose the first one four years before the others and taught him the Hiten Misturugi Ryu technique. That boy is the oldest of the group by a year, Himura Kenshin. The other two chosen later on were Sagara Sanosuke, and Shinomori Aoshi…"

"Interesting…" Kaoru thought, "so that’s who our T.A was. Thought he was a bit…different." She thought for a moment more and her eyes widened. "Caudillo Hiko is the same Hiko-san Tokio’s talking about? That’s not possible."

Kaoru cast a look to Misao. The other girl seemed oblivious to anything for the moment. "We were going to introduce you to one another three years ago, but Hiko-san brought up the point that at that age, you might be distracted. Due to this issue with Micaela Lavender, we think it’s a good time for you six to pair up and finally meet."

"Why choose three girls and three boys for this team? Why not go for just a single male team, or a female one?" another voice asked.

The girls turned their heads to see Megumi leaning against the doorway. "When did you get back?" Kaoru asked.

"Since you started this little conversation. Thank you for telling me my boyfriend is actually in a…certain occupation."

"No problem," Kaoru replied with a slight sarcastic grin. "So how was it?"

"The rooster head is still the biggest baka I’ve ever known," the elegant girl murmured looking at her nails. "Tokio-san, please continue."

"You know how males and females both have their qualities. We though an equal balance might be nice. But of course you know how pig-headed those men can be sometimes," Tokio continued with a smirk. Misao and Kaoru burst into giggles, with Megumi standing there with smile on her lips.

"You are a cruel woman koishii," a deep voice mumbled going past the room.

This caused the two girls to burst into laughter, with Megumi now trying to suppress her giggles. "Megumi has found out about Miss. Lavender’s little extravagant party this weekend. We would like you six to be a little…undercover work."

"Sure."

"Completely sure?" Tokio asked.

"Very," Misao replied.

* * * * * *

"Undercover de gozaru?" Kenshin asked tilting his head to one side.

"Yes undercover you baka!" Hiko snapped. "You’re working with the other female group to get some papers that we’re looking for. It’s Aoshi and the girl Misao to get these papers possibly hidden in a room. It should give us a list of…clients…that Miss. Lavender has."

"Female group?" Sano asked from sprawled position on his coach. "There’s a female group?"

"Yes there is…Saitou’s Angels…as we refer to them as. No pun on the movie or TV show intended," the tall built man replied crossing his arms. "They are the females equivalent of you three…any more questions?"

"Ano…yes, why were we not told?"

Hiko gave Kenshin one of his famous you-must-really-be-a-baka-deshi look. "Introducing them any earlier and you would be distracted to no return."

"Sweet…" Sano replied with an evil smirk.

"Oro?"

Sano waved off Kenshin’s questioning trademark. "Ignore him Hiki- san, he’s been lacking sleep lately.

Aoshi quiet until now finally spoke up, "So when is this?"

"Tomorrow night, at the Hatheway Mansion near West Point Grey Academy."

"West Point Grey Academy?" Sano whistled, "damn…rich area."

"All right, enough said. Go do whatever you guys do at night. I have labs to mark," Hiko said waving his hand to dismiss them.

Sano, Aoshi and Kenshin all gathered in the study room. Aoshi went to his research, Sano to the Playstation 2, and Kenshin to the computer to finish his essay. The room was relatively quiet except for the clicking of the keyboard, and some muttered profanity from the spiky-haired man.

* * * * * *

Kaoru watched Megumi typing away on some program on a computer in the study room. There were two, one for their…research…and another for normal use. "What are you doing?" the younger girl asked.

"Nothing."

The other girl raised an eyebrow and put her book down. She leaned over Megumi’s shoulder and looked at the screen. "Nothing my ass."

"You don’t have an ass," Megumi quipped. This earned her a smack from Kaoru. "Just kidding…god."

"Who’s computer are you hacking into?"

"I don’t know. But it’s guarded quite well."

"Do you really have nothing to do tonight?"

"I just don’t feel like doing it, that’s all. When you spend most of your life at the books, you would want a break some time too."

Kaoru returned to her desk and continued to finish off her lab report.

* * * * * *

The red-head idly typed away at his essay humming softly to an mp3 playing on winamp. With a satisfied style he moved his mouse over to the print option. Leaning back on his chair with his hands folded behind his head he waited for his essay to print.

"You done?" Sano asked.

"Hai hai."

"Good, because I want to surf the web."

"Fine. As long as I get Final Fantasy X."

"Deal."

Kenshin grabbed his essay from the printer and moved off the chair, on to the beanbag in front of the TV, which they used especially for their video games. He was surprised that Sano even allowed him to touch Final Fantasy X since they got the game. Sano had been quite possessive over it.

"Shit," the spiky-haired brunette cursed as the screen in front of him shut off suddenly. His download was almost complete, but now would be completely erased. The computer loaded quickly and opened up to the desktop. On the desktop was a picture the famous Japanese romance author Yuki Eiri, half naked.

Sano raised an eyebrow and cast a glance over to Kenshin. "I never knew you had a fetish for Yuki Eiri."

"I don’t, why do you ask?"

"There’s a picture of the guy half naked on the desktop. What the hell did you do with my pictures?"

"I didn’t touch the desktop."

"We never touch your desktop," Aoshi added in without looking up from his work.

Sano pursed his lips and he stared at the computer screen. Then something clicked. He moved his mouse and double clicked on a certain program.

* * * * * *

Megumi hummed along with a song as she clicked around the computer. Then suddenly her computer shut off. The elegant girl narrowed her eyes at the black screen as she reached down to start the computer again. Once the computer loaded, the desktop displayed a picture of a scantily clad Britney Spears, with the words in the bottom: Don’t fuck with me.

"Don’t start a war Megumi," Kaoru warned from the desk, "you practically got our whole hardrive erased last time."

The other girl flipped her hair. "I had backup disks, it was fine."

"Really, you would be thinking that you would be old enough not to start these wars, considering you’re always telling us how immature we are."

"This is not some childish fight over who has the possession of Yuki Eiri. Considering he is dating the lead singer of Bad Luck, who just happens to be male," Megumi shot back as her fingers quickly typed on the keyboard.

* * * * * *

Sanosuke browsed through some sites on upcoming games for Playstation 2. Suddenly the internet window shut off, and Microsoft Word suddenly turned on. Words began to type across the screen. "You’re such an idiot." Then the CD-Rom drive began to open and shut by itself.

The young man rolled his eyes. "Such amateurs," he muttered to himself and restarted the computer. Clicking on to his "special program" he began to type again.

Hours later Sano let out a loud yell. "THAT FUCKING LITTLE SON OF A BITCH!"

Aoshi raised his head, and Kenshin, now reading a novel, looked up from the mini couch. "Nani?" the raven-haired man asked.

"MY HARDRIVE IS GONE!"

"Excuse me?" Kenshin and Aoshi both asked, now both alert. They had some important files saved on the computer for their classes. Aoshi had whipped out his kodachis out of nowhere suddenly had both sharp blades were pressed against Sanosuke’s throat.

"Do you have backup?"

"Relax…" Sano brushed the man off. "I have backup."

"You should stop doing this de gozaru," Kenshin muttered from the couch.

"Hey, I didn’t start it!" the other man protested.

Kenshin shook his head and sighed.

* * * * * *

"Now that was simple ne?" Megumi asked no one in particular.

"It’s almost 2 in the morning," Kaoru yawned.

The older girl ignored Kaoru’s comment. "The stupidity of that person matches the Rooster Head."

"Whatever. I’m going to bed."

Megumi smiled in satisfaction as she turned off the computer for the night.
