Anna hadn't heard what they'd said about the RPG's, since she wasn't right next to them. She just continued to watch her sector.

Seto watched much more carefully as the vehicle stopped and the men got out. All weapons were now aimed at the men, who were now quite armed. All would await Ackart's orders for fire. Seto shivered a little. He would soon get to fire his weapon! Now just so long as no one gave away their position.

Anna awaited the order to fire, holding her breath and hoping that she didn't give away their position.

There was a soft, metallic clinking noise. After a few soldiers found what it was that had landed, they quickly scrambled away. Seto's eyes widened as he saw the thing too. "Anna move!" he yelled. The thing -a grenade- had landed near her. Without really thinking, and against the protests of Ackart, who was now madly firing at the two men, Seto rushed over to where Anna lay, and bodily shoved her as hard as he could to get her out of the way. It seemed like an eternity, the three seconds before the explosion. The last thing Seto remembered was the yelling, then a sharp pain in his back.

"Seto!" Anna yelled before the explosion. Then she turned her head away to prevent any debris from getting in her eyes. She didn't know how it had turned out for Seto.

The men from below had been killed by now, as well as a third, who'd somehow been able to get behind them to throw the grenade. Seto lay face down in the dirt, he hadn't been hit too badly, but had been rendered unconcious. Sgt. Ackart was standing over him and, after checking on Anna, called out, "Man down!" until several soldiers ran up to place Seto in a poleless litter to get him back to base.

"It's all my fault," Anna muttered. "If I'd have just seen that grenade..."

Ackart was holding up one of the ends of the limp stretcher as they ran. "He should be fine! From what I saw there were only a few minor gashes on 'is back. He might even be alright by sometime tomorrow." he said. Soon they returned to the compound, and Seto was left with the medics.

Anna was once again sitting by the same wall she'd been sitting against the day before. For some reason, it seemed to be like her favorite spot in the whole place.

Seto's eyes finally opened the next morning. He jumped a bit at hearing Sugi's voice. "Kaiba-aa!!! You had me all worried there, yah jerk!" she said with a smile. Seto blinked a few times as he realized where he was, and who was there. "Kusari? What the hell? Whateryou...doing here?" he asked in an odd slur.
Sugi grinned down at him. "Awwwwww! You know I luh you, Sar'nt Kaiba!!!" she said in a fake accent. Seto just blinked. "Sergeant? Huh?" "You heard me!" Was Sugi's only responce.

Anna was also there when Seto woke up. "Yup, you're a sergeant now. That's what ya get for savin' me," she said with a small smile.

Then, all the memories of the night before came flooding back to Seto. He looked quite shocked. "Y-You're kidding me! There's no way that--" He was cut off by Ackart's laughter as he entered. "They're not kidding! You did real good, kid! You outta be gettin' a purple heart! But, since that isn't happening, I talked the higher-ups into getting you a little promotion, you might say." he said with a grin, giving a quick nod and pat on the shoulder to both Anna , and Sugi, as if in greeting. "Well, you're officially a sergeant now, but I think you're going to be stuck in my squad, either way." he said. Seto just had a look of excitement, and total surprize as he lay there silently. "Medics say you can get out of here some time today, too." Sugi said.

"Congradulations, Seto. Now you really are superior!" Anna said in a somewhat joking tone.

"Oh...Quiet, you!" Seto said, shaking a fist in mock anger. Ackart said something about not bothering them anymore, and then he left.
