Fan Fiction ❯ Lethal Vengeance ❯ Nanashi Cause Trouble ( Chapter 1 )

Chapter One:

Nanashi cause trouble

A young woman sat down on the stool in the bar. "Just give me a rootbeer." She said to the bartender.

"Well, well. Look who we have here." A tall man sat next to her. His face scarred from battles. "The famous Hekele, Proffesional Bounty Hunter." He chuckled. "What's wrong, can't find anybody weaker than you?"

"I suggest you shut your trap before you say something you'll regret." Hekele's eyes were dark as she calmly drank the rootbeer the bartender gave her.

"Oooo...I'm so scared..." He waved his hands sarcasticly. Some of his men walked up behind Hekele.

Hekele grinned, and grabbed a gun out of her belt loop and held it up to his face. "You should be. You know I won't hesitate to pull this trigger."

" Just c a l m d o w n. I didn't mean anything by it. I was just kiddin'." He said nervously.

"That would be a waste of a bullet anyway." She pulled the gun away, and put it back in it's holster.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Anyway, I came here for a reason. We need your help."

"Help? Why should I help you?"

"C' mon. Were buds right?" He patted her back.

"Don't touch me." She sneered.
"Right, right." He backed off." SO, are you gonna to help?"

"How much are you going to pay me? I don't do this for free you know."

"We'll pay you ten thousand." He looked back at the gang for reasurance.

"Honostly, what kind of person do you think I am? You should know me better." Hekele began to make a deal. "You're most likely talking about a group of people, aren't you? I have a much higher price for killing other gangs. Depending on their status and how large they are, my price may be between 20 and 100, grand of course. If the gang is bigger than that, then we could be talking about going up to one million. Which gang are we talking about?"

"Well, we want you to kill the Nanashi Gang. They've arrived here recently, and they're driving us out of business. They're pretty big, but we're willing to pay up to a million. We just want to get our business back. They've taken all of our costumers."
"You mean your business selling drugs and weapons, right?" Hekele made sure.

"Yeah."

"Well, the Nanashi are pretty big. They have a pretty bad history too." Hekele was thinking of a price. "I'll do it for 1.5 mill." She decided.
He looked at his gang, they sighed and shook their heads in agreement. "Ok. We'll need a few days to get the money, though."

"Fine. I'll do some research while I wait. But I'm not going to do anything until I get at least half of the money, then I'll start killing." Hekele finished the rootbeer and payed the bartender.

"Fine." The man got up and motioned the gang to leave.

Hekele got up and left also. But not before scanning the bar for possible threats. No members of the Nanashi Gang were to be found though. She walked out into the dark streets of the city. Then proceeded to dissapeared into the darkness.

The sun rose into the sky slowly, accompained by the sounds of sirens and alarms. Hekele calmly walked behind the parked police vehicles, and looked at the bank. "I see the banks being robbed again." She said to an officer standing there.

"Yeah. And they got away again! How do they keep doing it?!" He looked to the side at her, expecting her to be a fellow police officer. "Oh. It's you. So, how'd they get away this time? Since you're the expert." He said in a jealous tone.

"Now, now. That's no way to talk to our expert." An older officer came over to Hekele and the officer. "She knows their ways so well, she could almost be a criminal herself." He laughed.

"Yeah. I wouldn't be suprised." He mumbled and walked away.

"He's just jealous." The older officer whispered. "So, have you figured out how they did it this time?"

"I just got here, but I think I have an idea. Do you know who it was?"

"Yeah, they left there mark on the back wall. It was the Nanashi."

"The Nanashi?" Hekele thought aloud. "Great." She smiled a little. Then walked past the officer, leaving him baffled to what she was grinning about.

"Oh well." He sighed.

Hekele crept past the cops who were investigating, and followed the trail of the Nanashi. The police hadn't noticed the apparent clues to where the Nanashi went. Then again, it would take a proffesional to put the clues together. One curious cop decided to follow. A young man who had just recently joined the police force.

Hekele walked down allie after allie, making it seem like a maze. She jumped over garbage cans and on roofs, then jumped down into small paths, making it hard for the police man to keep up. But he did the best he could. She finally stopped when she came to a dead end. "So that's where they are." She saw an opening in the wall. It marked the edge of a door. "I'll have to come here later. Now that I know where they are hiding out, I can figure out a plan to..." She paused, hearing a footstep from behind.
"Put your hands up!" The officer said. "Your part of the Nanashi aren't you?!"

Hekele got angry. "First of all, I'd rather die than surrender to a cop! And secondly, you shouldn't be following me!" Hekele walked toward him.

"I'm warning you!" His hands shook, making it apparent he's never shot anyone before.

"It's to bad you're career had to end so soon." She laughed. "Headline news: Young Cop killed by Nanashi. Might as well have happened since he would have turned out to be such a horrible cop anyway." She laughed again." Poor little police officer, killed on his first case."
"I'll kill you!"
"Oh, really. You and what army? You don't have any of your police buddies here to back you up. Remember?" She stopped in front of the gun. "I have to kill you now that you know." She grinned.

Fear filled his face as she dissapeared right in front of his eyes and re-appeared behind him. She kicked him in the back, knocking the gun out of his hand. He dropped to the ground. He got back up, angry. He started to swing random punches, but Hekele dogded them all. She then hit him in the face multiple times, as well as in the stomach. He fell to the ground and Hekele held her hand out. In her hand, appeared a sword.

"No! Please don't! I'll do anything, just don't kill me!" He begged.

Hekele held up her sword, preparing to kill him.

"No! Don't!"
Hekele swong down.

"NO! I can help you!" He covered his eyes with his arm. Prepared to die.
Hekele stopped abruptly. Getting an idea. "How can you help?" She pulled the sword back.

He raised his arm. "huh?" He blinked and looked at his clothes, trying to figure out why he wasn't dead. He got up, and brushed himself off.

"Well. How can you help?" She still had the sword in her hand.

"Well, you looking for the Nanashi, right? I can help you get information on them."

"Really? That would be helpful...But how can I trust you won't tell someone about this?" She grinned.

"Don't worry. I won't tell anyone. After that experience I'm not sure if I'll be able to sleep." He made motions with his hands while he talked. Making it very amusing for Hekele.

"That might be best. After they find out you're helping me, you're going to have to stay on your toes." Hekele teased. The sword in her hand started to glow, and then disinagrated.

He turned white after hearing what she said.

"So, when are you going to have information?" Hekele seemed impatient.

"Um, right away! What do you want me to find?"

"Find information on where they're going to be, when they're departuring, or anything else like that."

"Departuring? How do you know they're going to leave?"
"I know them. They travel a lot. They won't stay here when they find out someones after them." Hekele turned to leave. "And you better not tell anyone. Or else!" She started to walk away.
"Right! I won't tell anyone!" He sighed. "What did I get myself into?"

"Oh yeah! What's your name?" Hekele asked.

"I'm Hiroshi Masuyo. How about you?" He asked.

"Just Hekele." She turned and started to walk away again.

"Hekele..."
