[Tempest35]

Hnn, good thing I decided to stick with the short story scenarios for IS. Seriously, I can't tell what the author is doing. He's gonna lose a lot of readers if he's just relying on his artist to keep interest in his books...

A Cat(suit) Chifuyu is fine too - I can use her in an AU setting. Dat ass is a terrible, terrible thing to waste.

Spoiler for Slight Deus EX xover.:

"Welcome back, Chifuyu-nee."

"Ah, tadaima," she answered, pulling out the small band holding her hair in a ponytail. Shaking her head from side to side to free her hair, she detached the small headset and placed it on the counter. "Did the client receive the package?"

"Yep. Payment's already collected in our Trimen account," the male voice answered from the next room over. He sounded quite pleased. "You were awesome tonight again. I was getting worried when that high-spec tank drone came out."

"Pfft," Chifuyu scoffed. "Have more faith in your big sister you idiot," she said with no real anger in her voice.

"Hai hai~" came the easy reply. "I have the bath already prepared for you. Take it easy tonight, I'll finish up the details of our next job for you."

Chifuyu walked to where her younger brother was typing away at the terminal, several screens open to different windows. Due to her 'unique status', he was forced to pretty much care for her even though she was the elder sibling. He didn't even give a start as she draped her arms around his shoulders, holding him tightly. "You're the best brother ever," she whispered to him, resting her head against his.

"Only because I have the best big sister in the world," he replied, covering her hand with his own. The two of them stayed like that for a while before she stood up again and went to take her bath. "Our next job will be in Argentina. Tabane-nee said that the Habeneros Corp has been skimping out of details in their reports to her company. She wants all the info and evidence that they're keeping the projects that she banned still operating within their facilities."

"That Tabane...working us like we're her pets."

"We still owe her for the operations, Chifuyu-nee."

"Yeah, yeah, I know," Chifuyu resisted the urge to touch her right eye - the one that wasn't real. Hell, half of her wasn't real by this point. She was the first of Shinomono Industrial's first cyborg implant test subjects. Her little brother was the second. Doomed to this life because of a careless mistake...and now, they will all pay the price.
