Kantai Collection: A New Force For Good

For A Cat

A/N: Way shorter than the recent chapters, I know. But I'm really feeling this. And besides, who can hate a new chapter?

The room was quiet, only the sounds of three people breathing softly filling the air.

She glanced down at the destroyer fully asleep, her face pressed against the Admiral's stomach, her pajama clad arms practically wrapped around the woman's middle. But for all she was, Anya couldn't bring herself to he mad at the destroyer. Not at all, she decided as she gently stroked the girl's hair, simply looking down upon her as she laid quietly. She wasn't quite tired yet after all.

But not nearly as miffed as the battleship glaring holes into the destroyer's head laying next to them.

"At least try to hide your disappointment." She said with a light chuckle. Maryland's gaze shifted from the sleeping Bristol to Anya, her gaze only changing somewhat.

"Two days. Two. Days. In a row. She's never done that!" The woman said in a heated whisper. Anya simply smiled at that as she nodded.

"True." She offered in support. "But then again, she hasn't done this in a while. So I'm gonna cut her some slack." Anya said. Maryland groaned as she firmly planted her hands on her face.

"Why can't you be a no nonsense Admiral and send her back to her bed with a pat on the head and a stern warning?" The battleship asked through her hands, slowly dragging them down her face. Anya arched a brow as she glanced at the battleship.

"You realize that would include you too, yeah? Because if you want to get technical, Bristol had claim to my bed long before you did." She said with a playful smirk. Maryland grumbled to herself as she turned to lay on her side, facing away from the woman. Anya shrugged at that, going back to focusing her attention on the black clad destroyer laying on her person. Still stroking her hair softly, she eventually leaned over and turned off the bedside lamp, cascading the room in darkness.

Turning on her side, Bristol still clinging to her, her head hit the pillow.

At that, Maryland turned onto her other side, now looking at the woman. Anya offered only a soft smile as she leaned over, pecking the battleship on the lips before settling down, closing her eyes.

"Love You Mary." Anya said as she laid there a moment all before sleep took her within it's embrace, the last thing she knew was Maryland moving herself closer to the two.

Bristol didn't even stir.

The next morning found a group of Shipgirls making their way towards the nearest Pet store, being escorted by Sofia and Saradia.

"Sendai, you do know where we're going, right?" Sofia asked, glancing at the light cruiser. The leadship offered a thumbs up in reply to the question, much to the quiet amusement of Jintsuu and Naka, who were trailing after their oldest sister.

The three light Cruisers had been selected as their guides that morning, the three of them actually knowing the surrounding area. But given that the three of them also made up most of the social center of the Ship girl fleet at the moment, their outfits were too easily recognizable. Which is why everyone out and about for the day were dressed in civilian attire.

They still were bound to garner attention, considering in tow, they had:

Sendai.

Naka.

Jintsuu.

Yorktown CV 5.

Saratoga.

Bismarck Sea.
