Hunter heaved out an especially deep sighed before he wiped his palm over his face downwards to his chin. "Of course you can counterattack me 10 times better, chief," the senior bounty hunter said out monotonously right after Jean had finished his part of the debate. That's the final blow and Hunter stood up from kneeling in front of the chief's desk, dusting off some dirt from his pants.
"I hear ya," he commented, now sounding rather seriously. "If that's how you put it, then fine. I accept her in the team..." Hunter has no choice. In order to do everything in his to-do list involving Mitsuko into the team, then he has to receive the given situation willingly, or he won't do a very good job. At all.
After that's taken care of, Hunter returns with his usual trademark childish idiocity, singing happily, "YAY~! Miki's gonna be in our teaaam~ I can spend time with her longeerrr~"

Mitsuko looked at the two men and smiled happily. She was glad that Jean got through to Hunter with his expertise. And as for the song she was glad that Zero heard the words, and got the message. A best friend listens, but who says that a best friend can't be a hero? Zero protects her, Zero understands her, Zero is her sword when she can't fight for herself. And he is her shield when she is ill or in a saddened mood.
Zero was her treasure that she never ever want to lose. She has no regrets in being a part of his life, and showing him the way. When she does things for someone else she does it genuinely without negative feelings.
The angel slowly let go of his hand and gave him a big hug as she always does.
"You are a part of me Zero... and being on your team means so much to me... Now you can help me break out of this sheltered lifestyle. I won't lose my innocent kind nature because of this change.. Just gain more knowledge, courage and understanding."
Mitsuko then hugged Hunter tightly. "And Hunter you have my respect. I will be your mentee so please show me everything that I do need to know. I'll listen and I will learn from you."
She encouraged Hunter to do his best when he was training her. She will work hard, and be a good student, the question remains...
Will she be able to shoot a gun?

"One of these days Hunter and Zero, you will thank me for this decision that I have made. It is kill or be killed out there, and I am sure you boys do not want to lose your lives out there, regardless of the non guarantees. There are no guarantees in life in general but having a healer with you will help prevent any further injuries. You both have a lot left to experience in your life, and I mean this outside of being a bounty hunter."
"From what I can see there is a bond between you three, and you will always make each other stronger. I can see your resolve Mitsuko and I know you can do this. Believe in each other, have faith in each other, and oh. You need these."
Jean smiled at Mitsuko and gave her, her own pair of handcuffs, they were pink with a silver dove engraved on it. "These cuffs suit your personality, and your love of doves. As what madame May told me... on the phone and thankfully we were able to get these cuffs custom made. And please don't ask how long it took, all it took was a little elbow grease determination, and hard work."
Placing it in her hands he could see that she had a little bit of fear but not too much.
"Don't be scared. Everything will be fine."

"He's right you know. Our enemies can smell fear, and if they smell fear then they can prey on that and use it against you. Never EVER go into the battle field with fear because it can cost you your life."
A mature voice was heard as a young woman in her late twenties entered the HQ Her name? Was Eve.
She than got a closer look at the young lady that had the hair of gold, eyes blue as the ocean, and the outfit as white as a magnolia flower. She realized that all of these features had drew her to the conclusion that this person was the angel that Zero had spoke so highly about.
"My my my..... You're M-Mitsuko! The angel right? I mean I never believed that they actually existed.... But to see one standing right here, in the center of this drabby HQ, wow. You young lady blow me out of the water. Zero was right you really do give off this gentle like aura just from the first meeting...."
Eve went over to Zero and gave him a punch in the shoulder.
"SO your best friend finally graces us with her presence. Honestly I thought she was just this figure that you pray to or something. You really do pick em as you see them don't ya? Kudos to you!"
"Mitsuko my love are you sure you want to be in this drabby place? I mean c'mon have you taken a look around yet? It's crawling with Hunter's "friends" What I mean by is essentially bugs. I mean just the other day there was a centipede that freaked me out that I had to get Hunter to send it packing. Don't worry I made him bury it. In the fields far away from here. You won't believe all the disgusting things he has lurking around, and his laundry? T_T it makes me tear up! I have to literally walk around with an air freshener."
With that said she took out her vanilla air freshener and sprayed it.

For a short moment, Zero stared at Miki for a while. Sometimes it's nice to just stop everything, and simply look at his best friend beside him. They've gone such a long way. The last time he tried to stop time and just stare was 10 years ago, when Miki was gazing at a lone butterfly.
Comparing then till now with his thankfully strong memory, the angel had grown a lot. And he didn't compare her just physically too. She had grown much more mature mentally and spiritually, plus she had endured through pain to grow emotionally. That reminded Zero he still has to hunt those two friggin sods who dared touched her heart and left her alone when Zero's not there.
Though now that they found each other again after a decade of separation, Zero promised himself and to his ever-flaming will that he will never ever leave Miki's side again. He will protect her at all times, shoot the bloody hell out of the one-eyed creepy bastard who admitted he's Miki's father, go on a friggin hunting season if even ONE man had got too close to her(Hunter excluded because his IQ points had bumbled under double digits), and bite whoever the hell else that tries to harm her.
So much expletives in his mind, so little time...
His 'stopping-the-timeflow' tactic was then gently phased off when he felt a pair of familiar arms wrapping around his bare body, and reminded himself that he's still without a shirt at the moment. His widened eyes slowly drifted from alarmed, to tranquil. His upper eyelids slowly slid down to cover only half of his eyes in a calm placid manner as he listens to her soothing voice.
"...Like I can ever say no to you, anyway.." Zero joked before Miki lets her go to not forget about Hunter, as always. So the young bounty hunter just sat there on the bench, still very pleased with the warmth he was granted. While he was still in a partly dazed state, he doesn't even realize the chief went over to them and giving Miki her new set of handcuffs.
It's only until a punch was delivered to him by none other than Eve did he snapped out of it and regained back his usual Zero mood. "Knock it off, Eve. It's hard enough to ignore you with your voice so obnoxiously loud all the time." He sighed, but then figured a little introduction is needed before the female bounty hunter fawned over his best friend blindly.
"Yes Eve, this is my best friend, Mitsuko. Miki, this is Eve, possibly your first fan."

Hunter was caught off-guard when the young angel suddenly launched a hug towards him, so his hands are in mid-air awkwardly at first. "Miki, hahah. It's alright, no worries, I trust that you'll do your best, and automatically, I'll do my best too."
The elders in the organization often referred to Hunter's training abilities to be similar to a mirror. If the student's lazy, then Hunter would teach lazily. If the student's harsh, then Hunter would teach harshly. If the student's dedicated, then Hunter would no doubt do his job with the utmost dedication.
He smiled at her as she broke the hug, then he turned to Jean, "I just hope you're right, chief. I can just hope from here," Clearly, he's still worrying, but he's not going to let that get him down, because like the chief said, all it takes is faith to get the going.
Then he spotted Eve in the distance, walking right towards them. "Yo, Eve!" He greeted cheerfully, but that didn't last long when the female bounty hunter mentioned of bugs as his friends, and further crushes his dignity with his laundry issue.
"H-Hey!! Could you at least PRETEND to have a heart and not talk about it when I'm within 10 meter radius near you?" Hunter feigned a hurt facade, but all the people in the headquarters know of Hunter's acts as a joke, that's why none of them take him all that seriously.

Mitsuko turned around and faced this bold but mature woman. She smiled at her and shook her hands. Then Zero mentioned how Eve could possibly be her first fan. Sure Mitsuko knew that Zero had a lot of fans himself, but for her to actually have fans too overwhelms her a little bit.
She's not used to the attention nor does she look for it, however if this woman was going to be her first fan then she didn't have the heart to turn her away. The angel could see in the female bounty hunter's eyes that she was astonished that an angel does exist, and not just a holy figure that guides people.
Mitsuko looked over at her best friend who had just introduced them and she stared in his blue eyes too. She was at a loss for words at this woman's excitement but then breaks out from the shock and greeted her.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Eve. I look forward to working with you, even though I will be new at this. ^_^ I promise not to get in your way either. I doubt I will since I have someone really great training me."
Then Eve questioned if Mitsuko was sure that she really wanted to join the two boys especially HUNTER. She complained about Hunter's hygiene and his laundry. To further add into the complain as well as insulting him in a way she sprayed vanilla air freshener. Seeing this the angel placed a hand on Hunter's shoulder.
"Oh surely it isn't that bad as you make it out to be right?" But then again once Mitsuko sees the state his laundry is in, and what is crawling on the floor, she was sure to be surprised.
The angel turned to go back to Zero but Eve got hold of her hand,
"?"

"Wait... Wait.... Don't go yet. I mean I guess that is just your adoration for Hunter speaking and defending his state but... I mean... Look at what I found in his laundry today!"
Eve put on a pair of gloves and showed Mitsuko Hunter's piece of laundry which was his boxer shorts that were turned inside out, but you can vaguely see the pattern on it which where little smiley faces. Eve was trying to prove a point that Hunter was gross and that an dirty room represented disorganization in a person's life.
The bounty hunter saw Mitsuko's cheeks turn rosy and that she was beginning to get uncomfortable with the sight. Eve wasn't sure why exactly so she just speculated the fact that Mitsuko was an angel and that it was inappropriate to see such things, when in public.
"Oh don't be shy it's just clothes. And speaking of clothes you need some new ones..... Jean better not send you out there looking LIKE THAT. And...-" She took Hunter's list and read it.
"I have just the thing for you to wear. Come with me, and watch your step. We don't want you to suffer any broken bones before your first hunt."
"Later boys! I'm borrowing Mitsuko for an hour or so, and then Hunter I'll give her back to you."
With that said she grabbed Mitsuko's hand and took her to her quarters.
"We'll have you looking more sophisticated when I'm done with you!"
She shut the door once they arrived and began to untie Mitsuko's hair from the bow that she had, and then took out the braids. Poor Mitsuko was turning red by the minute, Eve saw this and told her to relax. She said that this is her other identity while she was here, but her personality will be the same.

Jean chuckled to himself and than looked at Hunter and Zero.
"Now you two please make sure you make Mitsuko feel comfortable with her new surroundings after all she may come across a few things in which she hasn't seen before. And she may get spooked. However she seems connected with you Zero... You have a bond with her that has blossomed like a flower.. And Hunter yours just starting with her so make sure you don't screw it up. Like I said before there is a bond between you three regardless."
"After Eve is done with Mitsuko you'll see a blossomed flower I am sure. Behind that white dress there was a girl that was struggling to break free from what she knew.... I mean I am sure there was nothing wrong with what she was taught but... When you are sheltered as much as Mitsuko is..... you feel trapped. - Uh oh...."
His words were cut off when....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kevin a young male bounty hunter walked in. He was known as the cocky egotistical brat, known for bothering Eve on a daily basis but also.... questioning each bounty hunter's reason for taking the mission that they chose.
He felt like he was higher than everyone else and that the bounty hunters with the exception of Hunter were noobies and would just cause trouble on the battle field, along with getting in the way. He felt like those bounty hunters that were in training were just dead weight. His famous line that took a toll on some of them was: "The battle field is no place for you...."
What made him a more irritating man to deal with was the fact that he didn't believe that women should be bounty hunters. He believed that their roles were cooking and cleaning, while taking care of kids as well as making them. He had heard rumors of a new recuit, and this annoyed the heck out of him.
Don't forget in every group of people there always has to be a bad apple among them. Kevin was this bad apple. He gave a death glare to Hunter, and Zero... and on occasion the three of them would butt heads. He hadn't recognized Zero's skill fully as a bounty hunter yet though.
"YO Jean! is it true? You hired someone else today? -_-;;; Please don't tell me it's a woman... It's bad enough that we have Eve....... What is with you recruiting people with least experience? Don't you know... to just hire people with loads of experience? It takes time to train someone."

Just by the look of how Miki reacted to her sudden fan made Zero chuckled. Perhaps that's how he himself looked like when he first got those creepy love letters...okay, maybe Zero shows more fear of his own fans than how Miki fares with hers.
So while Eve and his Miki is talking and bonding, Zero's currently trapped in his own pool of memories of his fans...or stalkers, perhaps. He has no idea why the hell girls would go to great lengths just to..stare at him? It's starting to really freak him out.
"Uh... w-wait, Miki!" Once he realized his dear Miki being pulled away from him that he awakens from his thoughts, then sighed exasperatedly as he watches his fellow bounty hunter pulled the angel away to her quarters.
"Ugh... Eve and her girlish tendencies.." Zero ran a hand down his face before turning around to get something to wear too, it's getting a little chilly. "Yea, I'll just go grab a shirt or something. Be right back."
As he went up the stairs to reach his room, he could hear the chief talking about Mitsuko. Zero only smiled as he climbed up, reaching his room and closing the door just in time as Kevin, his least favorite of the hunters, made his presence known downstairs with the men Zero left behind.
Good thing too, or Zero would've shoot a hole in between the jerk's eyes at the very sight of him.

Hunter swore that if there's any other woman other than his ex that could make him so embarrassed, it's Eve. "Eve!! Have a heart, would you?!" Hunter all but spluttered, grabbing a hold of his boxer which the female bounty had exposed to an innocent angel, "And what are you doing, stalking around and stealing my under garments, COME ON! And you're carrying it around you, that's just freaky, Eve."
Though, Eve's little show did set an alarm in Hunter's head. He DEFINITELY must clean up more now, plus with having Miki visiting his and Zero's quarters often soon, since they're now a team and all. "Fine, Eve, you're the lady out of all of us anyway," Hunter waved a hand as the girls escaped his line of vision. Though he said that, he mentally pouted that he's unable to drag the angel to the mall or something for her change of clothing. The off goes Zero too to get a spare shirt, since his earlier one got soaked on so much blood.
"Yea yeah, chief, we get the idea, don't worry. Zero can take care of Miki, while Miki can calm down Zero. And I'm in the middle adoring them. It's gonna turn out fine," Hunter shrugged, though listening to Jean's every word. He did have a few points, it's also quite like the chief to be so detailed, it's almost like he's stalking the angel.
Hunter shook his head. No, that'd be too creepy to imagine.
And of course, since Hunter was destined to lead a lousy life, plus he kills people so he was meant to lead a lousy life, this brat strutted in his view. 'Aw damn, just GREAT.' He inwardly praises the deity above to send both Miki and Zero away when Kevin stepped in, though at the same time frustrated as to why HE has to be the one to be standing here and face this cretin.
"Ahh Kevin, nice to see you're well and alive," though despite Hunter's intense dislike of anyone, he always has a smile on his face to any moron present in the room. Spiritedly, Hunter then tapped Kevin's shoulder twice in an attempt to calm the lad down, then laughed light-heartedly to calm the already-hectic air the cocky young man gave off.
"Now now Kevin, what did I say about expanding your view out of the box, hmn?" He asked similar a loving father to a very hard-headed son, "Look into the future! If we don't hire new people, then what happens if each and every one of us grows old and weak, and there's no one to succeed us~! And please do understand, Kevin, experience are best taught than keeping it locked."

Mitsuko was a little tense as she was getting pampered. I mean she did pamper others with her motherly personality but for her to be pampered herself was again new and overwhelming, perhaps this is what others feel when they are not used to being pampered. But the angel took a deep breath and allowed Eve to work her magic.
The angel was excited but nervous at the same time, she was no longer going to be just the angel that guides others but an angel that is a interventionist bounty hunter. She wasn't going to be just arresting people but allowing them the freedom of choice.
The feeling of being excited caused her heart to almost jump out of her chest so much so that she had to place her hand over her heart. Her cheeks were of course rosey as ever as Eve began doing her hair and letting it be open and free.
"If... If I can make a request in regards to the outfit... that you are choosing.. please make sure it has the colour white incorporated in some way. It's the symbol of me being pure, and untouched like Zero."
She blushed as she admitted this to a total stranger but it had to be said.

Eve was hard at work in bringing out the beauty in Mitsuko's hair more and she was doing such a good job. When Mitsuko made her request in regards to the clothing and explained what it meant for her to have white in it, Eve started to tease the angel a little bit. It was so tempting that she couldn't resist.
"Untouched and pure huh? Wait.... You mean you haven't done it yet?! What are you waiting for...... aww no don't tell me your one of those people that wait till your married? I see... I see so that is what you value as a woman. And as an angel."
"Well it's to be expected I suppose since you are a sinless creature or supposed to be. So you know about Zero's red tie right? he uses that as a symbol of his purity too... but as a man he get's teased for it. YOU have at least been kissed by him though right? Since I get the feeling you two are more than just friends.... I mean you guys look at each other as if you are the answer to each others prayers."
"If he hasn't kissed you yet..... hmm....."
Downstairs Eve heard Kevin's loud voice and the conversation he was having with Jean.
"Crap not that idiot again. HE is such a sexist jerk it's not even funny so don't be surprised if he verbally attacks you and calls you "the baby carrier" since he believes that women are the ones that exist to serve the man and make babies. He doesn't believe that lovers should work together since it causes a hindrance, and women should just stay home and be in the kitchen, and looking after the house hold."
Eve than gave Mitsuko her new clothes to change into, and took out pair of boots for her to wear instead of the heels that she wore. While the angel changed, Eve took out her extra strap gun holder, and waited until the Mitsuko finished changing.
"Wow look at you... I was right about your size then. See? there is white in your new outfit.... and pink. Hope you don't mind but it does look good on you. Now for the finishing touches to your hair."
She slipped in a butterfly clip into her hair.
It gave Mitsuko the decorated look as if there was a tiara on her head, but it wasn't ugly it was simple and pretty. The angel slipped into her boots and Eve strapped the gun holder to her leg.
"There now you are ready to kick ass. oh yeah...." Before she forgot she clipped on Mitsuko's handcuffs to the angel's waist.
"NOW you're ready. By the way have you tried the new way to get back downstairs? It is SO in right now."
She leaned close to Mitsuko's ear, and said some bounty hunters slide down the banister since a lot of them can be child like, and suggested that she try it.

Mitsuko took a moment to take a moment to look at herself in the mirror that was in front of her. Her whole outer appearance change, in some aspects but Eve was right she still felt like the same Mitsuko but with more freedom, strength and courage. Especially when it came down to making her voice heard for once.
As she looked at herself in shock at the mirror she spoke to Eve.
"We haven't kissed since we are only best friends though there is something that I promised myself that I would do once we got reunited, and that he is older. That promise is that I would be the one to grant him his first kiss.. Even though we are just best friends. ANd it's not only the fact that my kisses can have a healing effect once it is activated.. but it is one experience I don't want him to miss out on. IF he chooses not to get involved with a lady of his heart then he would always have that kiss. That memory will always last forever."
"If he gets involved with a lady, because he wants to then he would always have that experience and not be afraid to kiss the person he cares about. In general I have been kissed before 2 was with my boyfriends of my past since we did at one point love each other. and the third was with a man named Dark. but it will be our first kiss with each other."
"And also I have helped Zero gain a lot of firsts, but I think this will be my last one. The rest of his experiences should be one with another person. I can't be selfish and keep him all to myself."
Before I lost my memory I promised to myself that I wouldn't kiss a man until I granted Zero that experience. but things happened and the first half wasn't kept and I do feel terrible so-"
Her words got cut off by Eve's sudden facial expression. The mature bounty hunter had an idea, to make it happen faster especially since Kevin was downstairs.
Mitsuko was curious but she allowed Eve to have her thoughts, as well as heard Eve's earlier comment about sliding down the banister. The angel nodded and decided to try it out, if it was going to help her fit in to her new surroundings why not try it?
Eve helped Mitsuko sit side ways on the banister and the angel giggled as she slid down. This was an experience that was fun.
"Yay! here we gooooooo~! I sure hope I don't get in trouble..."

Jean got irritated in an instance. He was disappointed in Kevin's one track mind, and his attitude. He thought about firing him a lot of times but one less person to work for him would make splitting up the bounties a lot harder, so despite the unpleasant atmosphere that Kevin brought with him, Jean had to keep him.
Perhaps Mitsuko can counter Kevin's rudeness, that's if she is brave enough to speak her mind for the first time. Jean can only be positive and hope that she would find her voice.
"For your information Kevin I DID hire someone else and she is a female. We need the help but you are letting your one track mind and your beliefs interfere with everyone's moods. Don't you realize that it offends everyone here? Women and men should be treated equally, after all isn't that was what fought for in history?"
Jean's eyes drifted as soon as he heard Mitsuko's voice and saw her sliding down the banister.
"hahahahaha! speak of the angel there she is. It seems to me that she is getting used to the fun things that are done here. ^_^.. Now now be careful Mitsuko. Though I do commend you for trying something new."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kevin looked at the female sliding down the banister and raised an eyebrow.
"That's Zero's girlfriend that he spoke so highly about? I admit that she is good looking but being a bounty hunter with least experience.. is ONLY a hindrance even more so since she's a woman. AND she should act like a lady.... Sliding down the banister is a guy only Zone!"
What Kevin didn't know was the fact that Mitsuko was going to voice her opinion, he has no idea that this change had occured in her, and she wasn't going to be showing her innocent side when she speaks to him, as he overheard the stories that Zero told about her. His best friend.... Best friend yeah right. Kevin believed that these two were more then best friends.
