I can see her being hired out to protect some member of one of the harems.Running with this thought, consider Hit-Girl working for Mithril. This could let Sousuke know about her, and give her a reasonable explanation for her gear and weapons being in country. It's also justify her piloting a Arm Slave, and even more nifty personal gear. Heck, if she's from a different portion of Mithril, her presence could be a bit of exposition of just how bad things are. (The higher-ups must be getting desperate if she's here) That tack has the side benefit of Sasuke knowing her by reputation, but not in person.
Actually, I think Sousuke would be freaked out as well. Because he can tell that taking down Hit-Girl would a difficult undertaking even for him. (What? The whole Laura-Croft-ain't-got-shit-on-me-double-mid-air reload wasn't your first clue?)
As a side note, she's shown attending high school at the end of the movie, something like 4 years ahead. This alone could justify her knowing Japanese. (And maybe her dad had a few violent anime for her to watch growing up)
