Archer 75: Chapter 3 everyone, enjoy reading. And thanks for the reviews. Special thanks for Minagi Ito for checking my second chapter.

"Shit what was I thinking? How did they found out?" She's trying to keep her mind on driving, making sure they are not being followed. "I need to get her somewhere safe." And she only knows one place.

"What the HELL are you doing here?"

She covered her ears, shouting is something that Yukino rarely do (not to mention the cursing part, she's known for her being cool and calm most of the time), in fact she never heard her shout this way before (it's more a scream though).

"I can't think of any place that would be safe for her, they found her place I don't know how, I already have the disc, I-"

"That's not the POINT!"

"Awww..." she actually felt her eardrum stir. She never thought Yukino could be like this.

"*Deep breath* That's not the point." She tried to calm herself. "No one was supposed to know I'm here." She kept her voice low, making sure that Mai can't hear her from the other room (it's a little too late for that I think).

"I know but Natsuki's not here, she left with Shizuru yesterday. And I can't take her with me. I need to finish this with a clear head. I won't be able to finish this mission if I'm worried about her. *sigh* Yukino I know it's been long, but she was your friend too. Are you just gonna leave her out there, thinking that any minute someone might just blow her head off? " She looked intently at her. "I know you still care. C'mon it's just gonna be for awhile."

" *Don't fall for it, no-no-* Oh-damn, Alright. But make sure she won't tell anyone where I am, or else."

"You can count on it." She went to check on Mai. She looked a little distraught, she haven't said a word since they arrived. "Hey-" she doesn't know what else to say, "Mai-are you alright? You look a little pale." She just kept on looking through her like her mind is somewhere else. "Mai" she waved her hands in front of her. She saw her blink.

"I-I"

"I know, I'll explain everything, I just need you to listen-"

"I'm alive-"

"What?" she's not sure if she heard her right.

"I'm alive."

"Oh-ah, you see there's this-"

"Where in the world did you learn to drive a bike like that?" she started to get a little frantic. "I felt like I was riding the wind!" her shock is starting to wear off; mix emotions are starting to get through her.

"Well, I-from Natsuki" she said in a low voice.

"I knew it! Why do you even ride that thing I thought I was going to die! One minute I was in my apartment the next thing I know I was riding a freaking bike running over 160. And now I'm in a place I don't know where. What am I doing here? What's going on? You better explain Mikoto or I swear!" She's starting to feel angry (more like frustrated) about her situation. "It's about that disc, isn't it?"

Mikoto was caught off guard by Mai's sadden outburst. "Well-uh-I-uh" suddenly she doesn't know what to say.

"What?"

"We-well, I-I" she stammered. She heard a giggle from behind, she turned and saw Yukino's amused look.

"Well I haven't seen that look from you for years Mi-koto." She teased; it really amused her to see Mikoto act like a kitten being yelled at. She haven't seen her act like that since they entered the academy, she had this cold and rough reputation. Nothing and no one can make her falter. Until now.

"Stay out of this-"

" What. You're the one who brought her here, I'm just saying." She gave her a smirk "Nice to see you again Mai" she said before she left the room.

Mai just gave a nod, things are happening way too fast for her, she find it hard to catch up.

"Mai-I'm going to explain everything please listen very carefully. I'm really sorry I dragged you into this. You are the only person I can actually trust with important things like the disc. I was thinking they were not gonna trace it cause I had no record about my past. The agency took care of it, plus you're a civilian. I didn't know how manage to dig it up and learn about you. I was investigating an organization-"

"I know what's on that disc."

"What?"

"I know what's on that disc."

"You told me you didn't open it!"

"I was curious! Someone sent me a package without a return address what do you expect me to do." What did she get herself into?

"Shit! Now you're in deeper trouble!"

"And who do you think put me in here?"

"I know I'm sorry. We need to get the disc to my boss ASAP. Yuki-"

"It's not the real disc."

"WHAT? Tell me you didn't, tell me you-"

"I hid the real one."

"What? Then what's this?"

"The Beach Boys" she said in a small voice

"WHAT?" Mikoto wanted kill someone right now. And she means NOW! "F^# A!"

"I'm sorry..." Now Mai is really scared.

Archer 75: well that's it for chapter 3...Please...please review.
