Make A Man Out Of You

A/N: This is embarrassing, but the DMC x Disney Crossovers were a little bit fun, so I did one more.

[Make A Man Out Of You]

Wu Ling adjusted her shirt so that the top of her bindings would not be seen, looking around self-consciously to check if anyone had seen her movements. It was good luck that she had grown up with small breasts, and flattening them had not been much of a problem with the bindings as long as they were tight enough.

It appeared that nobody had caught her strange movements, and she breathed a small sigh of relief. The guys around her were still discussing about the hottest girl in town; a topic that Ling knew that she would have to learn more about if she wanted to blend in. She hadn't been bothered to judge the looks of her fellow gendered species, but it appeared that the ones of the opposite sex made a hobby out of it.

"Next!" The no-nonsense voice called, and Ling rushed to the counter where a tired face had waved his hand to call her over.

"Wu Ping, reporting for conscription." Ling announced, passing over the letter of conscription that she had stolen just a few hours ago. Most of the information written on the form had been real, with the exception of the gender. It was quite fortunate that she and her twin brother had the same blood type, which would make things safer for her in times of emergency.

"Add a 'sir' behind every sentence, Recruit, if you want to keep your head." The man advised, and Ling took it well. The last thing she wanted was to be targeted by any of her superiors and be singled out. She needed to blend in and stay low for the next two years of conscription. That way, nobody would know that she was a girl, much less someone standing in for her sickly twin brother.

Ling and her brother Ping had been born as fraternal twins, but they looked so alike that most people had assumed them as identical twins. Unfortunately, looks was the only thing that they shared in common. While Ling was a happy, healthy and easy-going girl, Ping had always been sickly with weak constitution. Because her little brother had always been in bed or having troubles with his health, Ling had learnt over the years to grow stronger and more masculine to protect her little brother from bullying in school. Just like that, Ling –and her parents –had always put Ping as the number 1 priority of the family all the way until the both of them turned of age.

On the day of their 19th birthday, a letter had been posted to their home address for Ping.

It had been the start of the family's worry for the next month: Ping's mandatory conscription as a demon hunter.

The kingdom of Haven where they lived in had been facing the threat of demons for as long as history could be traced. In fact, Haven had been created long long ago for the single purpose of having a place that was free of demon invasion. For that reason, it was mandatory law for all boys who had turned 19 to be conscripted for two years of training to be a basic demon hunter. Those who did well in their training stood the chance of being a professional demon hunter and to join the governmental army of demon hunter. The cream of the crop were recruited in the Elite Force, where they would be able to work with the Lieutenants and General Commanders to mark out high-levelled demons terrorising the areas near the kingdom.

It was within the Elite Force where the most stories of grandeur about demon hunting came around. No normal man could make it into the Elite Force, and anyone who made it in was considered a legend. Of course, the Legend of legends always sat on top of this chain of command: the two General Commanders who were the pioneers of demon hunting. In the kingdom where demon hunting was the primary way of survival against demons outside their walls, the General Commanders sometimes held more power than the government –particularly in times of demonic emergencies.
