Chapter 1. Meet The Dog

Ran winced at the pain. Another mission shot to shit, along with himself. He hated being shot at, especiallly when he got hit. The redhead sighed and stared at the white walls. During the last three months they had messed up four missions and this time he and Omi had been hurt. A soft knock on the door made him turn to the left and a sharp stab of pain shot through him.
"Shimatta!" he growled through clenched teeth. "Come in." The door opened and Ken came in.
"How are you Ran?" the brunette asked and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Sore," the older man answered with indiffrence. He was in pain, tired, kranky and wanted to be alone.
"Omi… hasn't come around yet," Ken sighed and fiddled with the laces on his boot. Ran swallowed the worry he felt for his team-mate who had been beaten pretty badly.
"He'll be fine."
"I hope so… Anyway, Manx wants to see us as soon as you two get out of here," Ken mumbled. Great! Ran muttered in his head. Kritiker isn't going to take our constant fuck ups lightly.
"Did she say what she wanted?" Ken shook his head.
"I have a feeling it isn't good though."
"I'd like to be alone now," Ran said flatly. The brunette gave him a hurt look. "Please Ken," the redhead added with a softer tone in his voice. The slightly shorter man nodded and left.

A very pale and shaky Omi sank down on the couch in the mission room. His vision was foggy and his head hurt like hell.
"Omi are you sure you're up for this?" Ken asked with concern. The slender blonde gave him a small smile.
"No not really but I'm here now so…"
"Well we're all here so where's Manx?" Yoji muttered and checked his watch.
"Are we keeping you from a hot date again?" Ken smirked at the lanky blonde and got a dirty look in return. The door opened and a woman came in.
"Manx, we thought you had forgotten about us," Yoji smiled at her and ran his green gaze up and down her body. As usual his flirting was ignored.
"I'll get right down to business," Manx said and looked at them one by one. "Abyssinian and Bombay isn't going to be doing any missions for a while so it has been decided that a fifth member will join Weiss." Four pairs of eyes stared at her.
"What?" Ran's eyes were dangerously dark as he glared at Yoji. "Aya don't look at me like that!"
"Balinese you have a mission to finish and you will need at least three people. Now between you and Siberian you're one person short!" Manx frowned. "You will get the help you need from Siamese who'll be joining you tomorrow morning."
"A new guy," Ken sighed and remembered the time when Aya had joined them.
"So who's this dude anyway?" Yoji asked with a lazy tone in his voice. Manx suddenly grinned and gave the lanky playboy an amused look.
"Oh a dude right up your alley Balinese." Confused eyes stared at her as she left them alone.
"What the hell is that suppose to mean?" Yoji muttered after her.

Yoji paced the kitchen impatiently. He didn't like the idea of a new member any more than he had liked getting up at 6 am. Mornings were meant for sleeping! He lit another smoke and rubbed his eyes.
"Will you sit down Kudou!" Ran growled.
"Shut up Aya!"
"Please Yoji-kun sit down you're making me dizzy," Omi whimpered and rubbed his temples.
"Sorry." The lanky playboy sat down and gave the petit blonde an apologizing look.
"Where is this Siamese guy anyways?" Ken yawned and pulled at his oversized shirt.
"He'll be here," Ran said quietly without looking up from his paper. Almost as a confirmation of what he had said there was a knock on the door. Yoji shot up from his seat and yanked the door open. His green eyes stared into deep pools of azure. Infront of him stood a beautiful woman.
"Um eh can I help you?" the blonde studdered as his eyes feasted on the creature looking back at him. She was almost as tall as him, slender and with perfect curves. Long legs that seemed to go on forever made his mouth fall open.
"Up here blondie," she said slowly with a slightly hoarse voice. Yoji snapped his head up and stared into her face. Her skin was ivory making her deep blue eyes almost glow.
"Can I help you?" he asked again and felt how his fingers twitched. He really wanted to run them through the flaming locks of auburn hair that framed the angelic face.
"I believe you were expecting me Balinese," the woman smiled.
"You're Siamese?" She smiled again. Those blue eyes squinted slightly and indeed seemed to be fit for a Siamese cat.
"The one and only. Now are you going to let me in or am I suppose to camp on the doorstep?" She let out a soft husky laugh that almost sounded like a purr. Oh dear Gods, Yoji moaned inside, am I going to have to work with her? He stepped aside and let her in. Completely baffled by the view of her behind and swaying hips he followed her into the kitchen. Omi, Ran and Ken greeted her with the same kind of staring as Yoji had.
"Another one of your dates Kudou?" Ran asked coldly after taking his eyes from the woman.
"Not really Abyssinian," she smiled. "I'm Siamese. The word on the street is that I'm gonna be taking over your role as the leader of Weiss until you get better." Aya gritted his teeth. He was being replaced by a woman? Her blue eyes left his face and moved to Ken and winked at him. "Siberian." She turned to the left and nodded to Omi. "And the brain, Bombay. A pleasure to meet you all." None of them said anything. How on earth was this fragile woman suppose to kill anyone? By the looks she'd probably die from fear if she saw a spider.
"There must have been some mistake," Ken mumbled and looked at Ran who was far from being stoic at the moment.
"Well you sure are males," Siamese chuckled. "Listen guys… Just because I have tits and sit down when I pee it doesn't mean I can't kick your asses." Omi blushed and squirmed as her azure eyes met his. "You are a real cutie Bombay," she winked at him.
"Wh… What kind of weapon do you use?" Yoji studdered and tried to pull his eyes from her breasts.
"I use several actually. But my weapons of choice are these," Siamese answered and patted her legs, "and these," she added and clapped her hands together. "Usually I have some help from bugnuks and small daggers."
"You use bugnuks?" Ken stared at her. There was no way in hell she could have enough strength in her arms to work that kind of weapon.
"Yes but only one set of them sweetie. I want one hand free for daggers. Well I doubt any of you will believe me unless I prove that I can fight so how about it Balinese? Want to try a little tumble with me?" Yoji swallowed with difficulty and nodded not thinking about the same kind of tumbling as she was.
"He can't fight you you're a…" Ken objected.
"Woman? Glad you noticed sweetie. By the way is there any chance we could use first names here? I'm starting to dislike cats." Siamese tilted her head and looked at Ran who barely nodded.
"I'm Omi," the petit blonde smiled at her.
"Ken," the brunette mumbled and blushed when azure eyes ran up and down his frame.
"Yoji at your service," the playboy grinned. "And that's Aya, um I mean Ran," he added when it was obvious that the redhead wasn't about to answer.
"Nice to meet you all. I'm Borzoi."
"Borzoi?" Blue eyes met azure and seemed somewhat confused.
"Blame my mother she was from Russia and had a thing for dogs," Siamese muttered. "At least I have a good excuse to be a bitch. Now is anyone going to fight me or what?" The four males looked at each other.
"I'm the only one who carries a weapon that doesn't kill so I suppose I'll be fighting you," Yoji smirked and patted his watch.
"You have yourself a date blondie," Borzoi smiled. "Just let me change first huh?"

Ran was upset. Okay so he was furious. Manx had sent them a girl. How the hell was she suppose to kill targets? Not to meantion the fact that the other three members had been staring at her in a way that Aya didn't like at all. He could guess where things were leading and it was unplesent to say the least. Borzoi was, and not just because of her name, a dog among cats. What Ran wanted to know however, was whether or not the cats could get along with that dog present. He sighed to himself and glanced at the brunette next to him then he turned his eyes to the other two persons in the otherwise empty room. Yoji was stretching his muscles as Borzoi circled him.
"Well blondie are you going to do something or are you too busy drooling?" she mocked the playboy. The auburn haired woman was dressed in a black catsuit that hugged every curve of her voluptuous figure. At that comment the lanky blonde narrowed his eyes. Without any warning a thin metal wire shot out from his wrist. Borzoi easily avoided it by dancing to the left. So fast it was hard to see her she darted towards Yoji and sent him crashing to the floor with a well aimed kick to his chest. Purring in delight she sat down, straddling his hips. "1 point for me and none for you sweetie," she purred and tapped his chest. The lankly blonde let out an angry growl. Chuckling Borzoi got off him and took a few steps back.
"Stop playing around!" he snarled at her.
"So you are going to take this serious then?" she asked and tilted her head. Yoji launched at her. Strong fingers got a hold of an ivory throat. It was obvious he thought he had her and was just about to bring her down when a surprisingly strong hand grabbed his wrist. "Better luck next time darling," Borzoi smiled and used his strength to lift herself up. With little effort she delivered another kick to his torso and again sent him sprawling to the floor.
"It's not a fair fight," Ken muttered to Ran. "He's holding back just because she's a girl." Aya didn't move or answer but he knew that that wasn't true. She was extremly fast and very agile, not to meantion the fact that she was unarmed. If she had had daggers and her bugnuks Yoji would probably be dead.
"I heard that Ken," a husky voice mumbled. "How about we even the odds then? Why don't you join blondie here?" The brunette glanced sideways at Ran who nodded to him. Ken was the best on hand to hand combat but he was also the one most unlikely to hit a woman outside a mission, along with Omi.
"O.. okay." Two men were now circling her slightly crouching looking exactly like two cats about to attack a prey. Almost at the same time the charged her. Just as before she danced out of the way. A swift kick was aimed at Yoji as her left hand caught Ken's sweater. Borzoi made contact between hers and the brunette's forehead. With a yelp Ken found himself on the floor next to Yoji. Borzoi smiled sweetly as she took a seat on the brunette's chest resting her knees on his arms.
"I win, you lose. It's a good thing we fight unarmed," she purred as her soft fingers played with his hair. "Wouldn't want to hurt your face or that wonderful body you got there baby." Ran gritted his teeth and had had enough.
"Okay so you can fight!" he growled. Deep blue eyes met his.
"Am I playing with your toy Ran?" Ken turned a deep shade of red and tried to get loose. "I don't blame you though," Borzoi smiled and ran a finger along the brunette's jawbone. "He's a sweet looking toy. But I'll give him back to you now, no hard feelings I hope?" The redhead snorted and left. Damn! he cursed as he marched out to his car. How did that damn woman managed to step on his toes? What went on between him and Ken was nobody's business and as far as they knew their secret was well kept. Yeah was is the right word, he muttered.
"Ran?" the redhead turned around.
"Yes Ken?"
"Are you angry with me?" The brunette's face was sad. Aya wanted to be angry with him but he couldn't, he never could. Instead of saying anything he reached out his hand. Ken came up to him and took it. After making sure they were alone Ran pulled his lover into his arms.
"I'm sorry Ken," he sighed and drew in the other man's familier scent. "Let's go home, catwoman can go with Yoji."
"Okay Ran. We probably should get back to Omi."

Ken sighed as he rested his head on Ran's shoulder. His lover was angry with him no matter how hard he denied it. Their relationship was difficult enough without that kind of problem. He sighed again. It was tearing him apart that they had to hide their feelings all the time and now Borzoi had blown their cover. Yoji had been giving them weird looks ever since they got back from the fight.
"Ran?" The redhead tilted his head and looked at him.
"Yes."
"What did I do wrong?" Ken asked quietly. A soft hand caressed his cheek and amethyst eyes met his.
"I just… didn't like the way you looked at her," Ran admitted slowly. The brunette lifted himself up on his elbow.
"You're jealous?" The redhead sighed.
"Ken, Borzoi is a beautiful woman, she's warm and open. She's all the things I'm not. If you had a relationship with her you wouldn't have to hide it…" The sadness in Ran's voice ached in Ken's heart.
"If I had wanted someone like her I wouldn't have fallen in love with you!" he objected.
"I'm just saying that your life would be so much easier if…"
"Stop it Ran!" Ken interrupted him. "Why are you saying things like that?" The redhead refused to meet his eyes and moved away from him.
"I know how much our relationship hurts you Ken and I hate that. Every morning when I have to sneak out of your room before everyone else wakes up it strikes me how difficult it is for us. Maybe it would be better if we just ended it?" The brunette almost panicked. If Ran was serious his life would be over. His older lover was the only person he had ever felt safe with, the only one who had been able to convince him that he deserved to be happy.
"So to hell with what we feel for each other? You're suggesting that we should just sweep it under the rug huh?" Ken fought the tears that threatened to spill over. Strong arms wrapped around him and Aya's cheek pressed against his hair.
"I'm sorry. I just… want you to be happy," Ran sighed and kissed his cheek softly. "I can't help feeling that you deserve better than me, better than this."
"Don't say that! You know it isn't true. I have never been this happy before so please don't even think about taking that away from me, please Ran."

"No wonder you beat them the last time," a smooth voice said. "They fight like declawed kittens.
"Just watch yourself with them Malice, they aren't exactly harmless." Malice raised an eyebrow and looked at the man infront of her.
"Harmless no, but pretty close to it," she snorted with contempt. "You do realize that they will kill a few of our people, don't you?"
"I'll make sure it's the ones we can spare. Gives us the chance to get rid of a few people we don't want around anymore," the man shrugged.
"By the way… I know Ran is a thorn in your side so here's a free little tip. If you want to nail the redhead you should set your eyes on a certain brunette. Apparently most florists are gay after all," Malice laughed and rubbed against the man. "Well, well, well… Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just glad to see me Takagi?"
"Aren't I always glad to see you baby?"
"I would love to stay and play with your 'gun' but unfortanelly I have to go back to the cat-house." The woman snorted and shook her head.
"In due time you'll be allowed to get rid of a kitten or two," Takagi smiled and let her go.
