Richard awoke slowly, his body surprisingly warm. He lifted his head, a little confused as he seemed to rise and fall every few moments. His eyes opened, he gazed upwards to two large tan hills that rose on either side of him. The memories of last night flooded into his head. He rose to his feet, leaning back against her breast as he stretched his back. He felt a large movement beneath him, "Oh no." He mumbled. He turned to run but it was too late as Kina rolled to her side. The breast to his side was soon beneath him, the large warm mass of the other gently pressing around him. He heard a giggle from outside of the fleshy confines.

"Finally awake?" He heard her muffled voice call to him. She rolled onto her back and sat up, letting Richard sit comfortably between her breasts. She let out a wide yawn, "How are you feeling?" She asked with a grin.

"Fine. Yourself?"

"Mmm. I feel great." She said with a wide smile. Her eyes shifted over to her clock and then back to Richard. "It's still early."

"You made it seem like I slept through the afternoon." He groaned, running his hands through his hair. He grunted as his sides were pinched between a gentle thumb and forefinger. Her brown eyes focused on him for a few moments before she slowly turned to her stomach and set him down on the pillow before her, "You're worried about my father, aren't you?"

"A little." Richard admitted.

She smiled, "Theres really nothing to worry about. I wont tell, you wont tell. No one else will know." She lowered her lead towards him, her tongue snaking out and giving a playful lap against his stomach. "Once more? It will be a lonely couple months I imagine." She said with a grin.

Richard stood silently, debating in his mind, but she seemed to answer for him as her fingers gripped his boxer shorts and pulled them down.

He felt her lips press into him softly, her tongue slipping around him skillfully, "Come on." She whispered, "Just for fun."

Kikata slept soundly, she had not realized how tired she had been. She awoke sometime in the early afternoon, her arm dangling off her bed and a small pool of drool kissing her cheek. She groaned as she sat up, placing her feet on the ground. Her keen ears picked up a quiet hissing coming form below, she bent over and saw the door closed on Richards bathroom. She nearly fell out of bed as she got up, stretching her back and giving a wide yawn. She checked under the bed once more before slipping out of her clothes and into her black jumpsuit.

Richard washed himself off vigorously, much as he had the first day he met Kikata. "Stupid. Stupid. Stupid." He muttered to himself. Why did that Kina have to be so intoxicatingly beautiful? Kikata was sure to give him a hard time about this one. The first time was understandable, how should he have known? But this morning he was fully sober and fully aware. He shut the water off and grabbed his towel. His eyes fell on the black jumpsuit that had come with his new armor, similar to Kikata's in some ways. It had a few extra areas of padding, and wasn't quite as figure hugging as hers. He tried it on, looking himself over in the mirror. He wasn't really thrilled with the looks. He removed the suit and pulled on the generic sweat pants and t-shirt instead.

He stepped outside to see Kikata's legs folded over one another sitting at the table, the clanking of utensils sounding through the ship. He walked over to the small circular platform and laid his hand down on the pad. The elevator rose slowly to the top of the table, Kikata's golden eyes falling on him with a slight smile.

"I see sleeping beauty is finally awake." He said stepping onto the table.

She nodded as she spooned up another scoop of what ever it was that she was eating, some sort of Neko cereal. "I've got more if your hungry."

"No I ate already." He said sitting down next to her.

"So. Have a fun time with Kina last night?" She asked with a grin.

"You could say that. But I feel like someone should have told me that she was the Generals daughter a little earlier." He commented with a sigh.

Kikata laughed, "Oh right. Yeah sorry about that." She eyed him for a moment, "So I guess you means you did it?"

Richard sighed, no use denying, "Yeah. You know she isn't that bad. Just sort of wild I guess."

Kikata laughed, "I see her feminine charm has worn off on you?"

"It's not that. The girl is very beautiful, I'll give her that. She could probably get anything she wants out of a man." Kikata rolled her eyes, "But she just has some interesting world views, I mean she's not that dull."

"I still can't see it." Kikata scoffed taking another bite of her meal.

"She knows how you feel about her, but she told me she still respects you."

"Hmph." Kikata huffed as she chewed.

"I don't know, I wont get into it. Whats done is done."

"I'll say. So how was it?" Kikata asked, legitimately a little curious.

"She seemed to enjoy it. And I'd say it was pretty incredible, a little strange but I guess nothing all that new to me...aside from the sexual part."

"What do you mean?"

"Well you know, being completely inside of someone."

"Oh that." Kikata said with a grin, "I would admit it's pretty cool on our end. I mean how often can you say-" They were interrupted as a loud beeping sounded through their ship. They shared a quick glance before she laid her hand down before him. Richard hopped on, Kikata swiftly carrying him towards the cockpit. She scanned the panel for a moment before she noticed the small chair just under the window on top of her display.

Richard hopped off her hand and leaned back into his chair, "This is a lot better than the cup holder."

"Blocks my view a little." Kikata's voice called from behind.

"Yeah right." Richard called back, Kikata just laughed. He watched on his own display as Kikata brought up the signal.

"This can't be right."

"What about it?" Richard asked, struggling to take in all the information before him.

"The signal is coming from just outside of the atmosphere. This is coming from one of our own ships!" Kikata ignited the engines, her hands nervously clutching the joysticks, "Okay are you ready?"

"Ready." Richard said with his eyes plastered to the glass window. The chair vibrated slightly as the ship rose into the air, the white world outside coming into view as they rose out of the docking bay. The atmosphere started to darken as they flew higher and higher, soon a small blip in the distance appeared.

"There it is." Kikata said quietly, her ship was one among many approaching the distressed vehicle. Neko voices called through the radio.

"What are they saying?" Richard asked his finger pressed into his headset.

"They are just asking for a response."

"And?"

"None yet."

Kikata followed closely behind a line of ships that were all heading for the darkened vessel. The ships came to a halt for a few long minutes, no lights visible within the seemingly abandoned ship.

"I don't like this."

"Me neither, this seems fishy."

"Seems what?" Kikata asked with a raised brow.

"Strange, suspicious." Richard chuckled back.

"Oh yes. I agree."

"So what are we waiting for?"

"They are still calling out to the ship. In a few minutes they will board it."

"There has to be someone in there, I mean someone had to trigger that beacon?"

Kikata nodded silently, her eyes narrowing as two Guard ships approached the vessel. One circled around behind the ship, it's air lock reaching out towards the others. The second ship hovered just outside of the ships cockpit, a white light shining inside.

The Nova Guard in the first ship pulled on his helmet as he walked into the air lock. He hoisted a large black cannon in front of him as the doors opened. He stepped inside, the radio had fallen silent. "Guard 00543?" He called out the owner of this ships number. There was no response. The ship was only illuminated by the bright white light of the ship that hovered in front of them, the long shadow of the pilots seat running down the length of the ship. He took another step forward, his foot sliding slightly. His helmet turned down, stepping back as his eyes fell on a dark pool of liquid. He followed the trail to the living quarters. "Oh no."

"Whats happening?" Richard asked.

"They...They found the body." Kikata whispered, the airways had become very tense.

The Guard approached the body that had been strung up on the bunk beds, hanging with it's arms stretched outwards. A metal hand reached forward, a note had been pinned to the dead mans chest. "To...new beginnings?" He read aloud. His eyes shifted to a single blinking light coming from behind the body. He crouched down eyeing the large box. His eyes widened.

"Whats that supposed to-" Kikata was cut off as a sudden white flash erupted in front of them. The vessel splintered into thousands of shards, the ship that had been hovering in front of it spun slowly away from the explosion, a hot blue flame spilling from its hull. The other Guard ships backed away from the scene, the radio suddenly alive with chatter. Then after a scream over the radio the damaged ship blinked out of sight.

"What the hell is going on?!" Richard said looking around at the chaotic scene.

"It was a trap. And that ship just malfunctioned, we need to follow it."

"But what about our job? Aren't we supposed to go back to patrol-"

"No. This is our job." Kikata said sternly. She located the ships location and entered the coordinates into the computer. "Strap in." And within a few moments everything turned to a blur.
