Halo: Shadow Team (Fixed)

Quick Chap: Hunting a sneaker

[I know a lot of you may want to know when it is the next chapter. It's still in the works. Just try and be patient. In the meantime, I hope you all would like these quick chapters. Basically, a semi-canon short story in the AU featuring the characters currently introduced.]

. . . . .

Inside of a large room, both Shadow and Blue team took their time to relax, as instructed by the commander of the base. During this free time, they decided to do some of their more usual activities in more ways than it should. John had been reading some of the last few engagements against the Covenant; Arthur checking his blade; Heav and Havoc having an arm wrestling battle; Inferno writing some notes about the Spartans and the Covenant's alien species; Fred reading some philosophical novels; and The two snipers, Cross and Linda, playing chess at the corner. It all seems so quiet, so peaceful. But where's the other two?

"Ronin!"

The door slide open to reveal a panting Ronin. He seems to be exhausted after whatever has happened between him and Kelly.

Arthur: Ronin? What's seems to be the trouble, mate?

Ronin puts a finger to his mouth as he tried to find ways to hide from the Rabbit, who ironically is the Hunter.

Kelly entered the room to see her friends and "siblings" there.

Kelly: Hey guys, have you seen Ronin here?

Havoc: Why? Because if you... Had screamed, he must've done something to... Piss ya off!

Kelly: I'm serious. Where is he?

Inferno: Why ask us? If you were Ronin running away from a predator, where would you likely hide?

Kelly: Good question.

John: Kelly, what did Ronin do?

Kelly: I would tell you... But I'd be lying if I hadn't caught him in the...

Fred: You don't mean?

Kelly: Yep.

Heav: Well... That's something! Ronin... Almost always looked so... Sleepy.

Kelly: He is?

Inferno: Based on his behavior and combat efficiency, he has definitely been up to something passed his body's timer.

Kelly: Okay. If you did see him, tell me.

Almost everyone: Okay/Sure/Noted.

As soon as Kelly left the room, foe awhile, Ronin got down from his hiding spot, which is above the door from which he entered, and head to the couch.

Inferno: Ronin, I would recommend some sleep. You're body needs some rest, for you won't function properly and efficiently.

Ronin: Okay. But, you're not Med.

Inferno: I know. I hoped her eggs have granted some descendants from her linage.

Ronin: That's just disturbing.

Ronin lays his body on the couch as his eyes slowly getting more tiring to the point where he ended up shutting them both and let his subconscious drag him to a more stable and peaceful mind.

"There you are..."

Ronin jumped but the sound of Kelly's voice. However, he felt that he's being restrained by an iron grip wrapped around his body and arms. The only other person that could've possibly think would do this is... Kelly.

Kelly: Looks like this Rabbit have finally found her game.

Ronin: Kelly. I can explain the situation. *Yawns* If I could rest.

Kelly: Oh don't worry, Ronin. I will comfort you till you rest very well ~.

Ronin: Guys, is this normal?

Fred/John: Not always/ No

Kelly: Now, why don't we just drift ourselves to sleep ~.

Ronin: Kelly, I'm sorry for that happened earlier. Will you forgive me?

Kelly: I forgive you.

Both Ronin and. Kelly settled their rather quick feud with some good sounded rest.

. . . . .

Cross: Checkmate.

Linda: Man. Who would've thought that a simple game can be interesting to play.

Cross: Eh. It works fine for the both of us

Linda: Definitely.
