Full Metal Panic: Fox Hunt
By: Azurathe

Disclaimer: I own nothing involving Full Metal Panic, except the DVD’s I bought ^_^, so anyway yeah. Read the story and I hope you enjoy.

Okay this is a short chapter providing some information about the events after Kaname and Sousuke left the room inside Sousuke’s flash back during chapter 6. The fight between the Shadows and Sousuke will be presented through a combination first person point of view chapter, then the Gauron fight will be told again in chapter 8. All the events leading up into the Gauron fight, Kaname and her friends sent back to Tokyo, and the Sousuke returning to Japan again will be explained in chapter 8. So if you do read chapters 6&7 you will understand chapter 8.

Fox Hunt...

Chapter 7

It was early morning, the morning mist was rising very slowly as we drove down the winding mountain back road. We left the TDD-1 to check up on Sgt. Sagara, and to evaluate his current involvement with Kaname Chidori. Some of the trainees we brought up here for winter training while we were conducting our investigation. Most of the trainees are laying in the hospital at the base of the mountain due to lack of militaristic sense. Sousuke is an excellent soldier, it took us a good four hours to make it to the cabin Sousuke, Mao, and Kurz.

“Well Sousuke, I see that your concern for safety has caused some trainees to take up residence at the local hospitals.” Mardukas stared at the high-ranking officer who had finally spoken up. “I can see why most officers’ call you bomb shell,” the man then let out a chuckle as he took off his hat.

“Sir, please refrain from talking about Mithril or any missions while staying at this cabin.” I noticed that Mr. Judicia was observing the surroundings as we passed by some of Sousuke’s guest. Kurz and Mao seemed to be entertaining the guest to keep them distracted.

Again the man chuckled; “well Sgt. I must say that the report I was given about you doesn’t match you very much. It described you as a ‘lone wolf’ who didn’t really enjoy parties or any kind off get together.” Sousuke frowned, “but you make up for it by being a dedicated, loyal soldier who would put his life on the line to finish any mission.”

“Affirmative.”

Sagara guided us to the room we would be staying in, that is when Mr. Judicia began speaking again. “Well Sgt. Sagara, my name is Robert Judicia. Mithril high command sent me here to see how ‘close’ you really were to Miss Chidori.”

“K-Kaname?”

“Yes Sgt., the high command is worried that you may have grown to attached to Miss Chidori.” It was about time to stop this. We needed to find out just how involved Sousuke and Kaname are.

I walked over to Mr. Sagara and wrapped my arms around his left arm, “well Sagara; will you show me to my room?”

“ ‘Gulp’ Uh...” Bingo, I knew it. This was the only available room in the house at the moment, maybe I will just walk into his room and board with him.

“Are there any rooms available?” Grinning I gazed into Sousuke’s eyes but then he quickly averted them.

“Uh...”

“Well this should do for now. It’s not the palace but we won’t be here for very long. Oh,” a young woman, about 21 years old ran walked into the room. When she caught sight of me holding on to Sousuke and quickly snatched him away from me, “oh Sousuke darling, I’m so happy to see you again.”

“Sousuke I need a...” I giggled when I noticed the nervous expression on Kaname‘s face. “ Ok... Sousuke... who... the... hell... is that?”

“And who is this darling?”

Kaname gasped, “ d-d-darling!”

“Yes little girl, Sousuke and I were suppose to get married as soon as he turned 15 but then he disappeared during a fight in Helmajistan. I searched all the world for him, hoping to find my fiancee.” So what Kalinin told me was true, Sousuke did have a fiancee.

In all the commotion Sousuke took Kaname and left the room. ‘Damn it Sousuke, you play with my emotions and leave your childhood fiancee. Jerk!’ Glaring at the woman I stood in wonderment. “Who are you Miss?”

“My name is Natsuki Gaushi.”

I folded my arms across my chest and sat in a vacant chair near the fire place. Miss Gaushi sat on the couch across from me, Cmdr. Mardukas stood next to me as Mr. Judicia went down into the living room to greet Kurz and Mao. “How do you know Sgt. Sagara? Further more, why did you decide to come see Sousuke now?”

The raven haired woman smirked, “I see that you are jealous Miss Tesstarosa. Well I will tell you my story.” I requested a warm cup of hot coco as I prepared for a long story. “When I was around twelve my father was killed by a group of terrorist during a mission in Iraq. Sousuke’s father Sejiro promised to honor my fathers last wish.”

Natsuki frowned, “I loved Sousuke, and I still do. I didn’t care that he was only seven at the time, I still would have died for him. My father knew all to well how I felt for him so he requested that Sousuke and I were to be married when he was fifteen years old.” I noticed tears forming in her soft eyes, “and then he disappeared after his mother and sister died. I have searched everywhere for him and up until I met Mr. Judicia I had no knowledge or clues as to Sousuke’s location.”

I smiled, “touching story Miss Gaushi but this just adds to the game. Sousuke has three women after him now,” I stood and walked over to Natsuki. I quickly grasped her hand and shook it with a firm grip. “May the best woman win!”

Natsuki grinned, “I accept your challenge Miss Tesstarosa!”

At the moment I thought that it was just another rival but little did I know that this woman, Natsuki Gaushi, would be one of the greatest threats to world stability. She would betray us and lead us into a trap that would thrust Sagara into a conflict no man should ever face. Can Sgt. Sagara face his father and kill him, or will he lose to his emotions?
