Note: This is
set directly after the end of the series, starting with the two
landing in China and ending…when I get fuckin' bored of writing
this shit. Uh, yeah, I think that's about it. Please don't
forget to review, though I'm not expecting a great deal
of them considering the fact that this insanely kickass show is
constantly overlooked by those too arrogant and self-righteous to
watch a show that doesn't have some form of pointless
self-indulgent romance bullshit in it. But due to my girlfriends
never-ending nagging, I'm almost entirely convinced I'll end up
throwing one or two 'scenes' in here. I'll warn you before I do
in case you feel it to be…Well, not your area. I don't give a
shit really…
(For the record, the vehicles used in here are ones
that are actually SOLD in downtown Hong Kong, China; yes I did have
so much time on my pitiful hands I looked it up.)

Enjoy…or something…
Chapter One/Prologue
The sound of the roaring engines came to a slow stop as the plane rounded the final turn, leading to the gate. The huge airliner was beginning to stop when Revy turned to her partner, who had fallen asleep, she assumed, sometime after her. She had just started to rub her eyes when the sound of the roaring engine dying had pulled her completely out of her state of sleep. "Hey, Rock…Get up!" Revy commanded as she started pushing his shoulder. "Ugh, go away! Damn it all…" he muttered as he turned uncomfortably in his small chair to face away from Revy. This did nothing to improve her mood. "Damn it Rock! Get the fuck up!" She commanded, more loudly this time and punched him in the shoulder, hard. Rock jolted upwards and looked around his hand grabbing his shoulder. "The hell..?" Rock asked confusedly to no one in particular as he looked around to see Revy's clearly annoyed face. "Oh shit…" he breathed as she raised her fist again. "Hey! Hey Revy! Calm the hell down alright? I'm up…Jeez, such a pain…" Rock said annoyed at being woken from his dreamless and otherwise uninterrupted sleep.
Rock
had grabbed their luggage and brought it down from the rack in a
single motion and was walking behind Revy, who was still limping from
her sword-wound three days previous. It was when they reached the
exit of the plane that Revy's leg gave out and Rock barely caught
her arm and helped steady her, meanwhile trying to hold on to all
their luggage in his left arm. "Shit…" Rock growled as he put
his arm around Revy's waist to keep her up while he re-adjusted all
the shit he now had to dump on his left arm. "You alright?" Rock
asked, finally balancing the two equally. "Yeah, you can let go
now!" Revy said, steadying herself. "Ok good, no more falling."
Rock said cautiously as he grabbed the suitcase he had been holding
in his left hand and switched it to his right.
"Do you mind?"
A man behind the two asked, impatiently. "Not at all…" Rock
mumbled annoyed as he walked slowly behind Revy, insuring that she
would not topple backward.
It seemed like forever before the two had made it out of the gate and to one of the chairs that surrounded the gate. "I need to re-wrap that leg" Rock said, absentmindedly as he lit a cigarette and offered Revy a light. "Yeah, yeah…" She said through the cigarette in her mouth. "So where-to now?" Rock asked Revy as he took a long drag and looked out over the sea in the distance. "We're in Hong Kong; we might as well do something interesting while we're here! Japan was all business." Revy said, looking excited. "Fantastic…Can I sleep first?" Rock asked, clearly still annoyed that Revy had woken him up so unconventionally on the plane. "Yeah well, actually we do need a place to stay; we don't have the Russians watching our asses this time." Revy commented, looking towards the window Rock had just been staring at. "It's nice out here, don't you think?" Revy asked looking at Rock, "eh? Damn it Rock! Wake the fuck up!!" Revy roared, shaking him gruffly. "Wha-? What the fuck's goin on? Oh it's this again…" Rock sighed as he narrowly avoided Revy's fist. "Ok! Ok! I promise, no more sleeping until we find a place to stay!" Rock promised, raising both his hands in mock surrender. "Damn right…" Revy grumbled hauling herself to her feet, Rock picking up all of their luggage.
The two had hustled into a taxi and Revy had ordered the driver to go downtown, to an area where they'd be able to find decent hotels. The driver smirked perversely as he complied, which did nothing to improve Revy's fiery mood and did nothing for Rock's initial safety. Though Revy had no way to sneak her weapons on board the plane, he was still pretty sure she could kill him in his sleep if she really wanted, which seemed highly possible given current events. Rock sighed and leaned his head against the window, staring out at the cold night; the snow fell thick and fast as the cab sped through the downtown district. "Hey, what are you sighing about, it's nice out here!" Revy shot at him as she cupped her hands around her cigarette to warm them. "Yeah, I know…Just…So…TIRED!" Rock said as he lifted his head up and sent it crashing back into the window, resting his head their once again.
They had been driving for about an hour when Rock felt a sudden weight fall against his shoulder. Looking up slightly, Rock saw Revy leaning against him, her eyes closed in a peaceful sleep. "Tch, but you can sleep huh?" He smiled slightly as he looked down at her. "Fine, have it your way…" Rock grumbled as he looked up at the now smirking cab driver. "You still looking for a hotel sir? Or would you rather hang around in my cab all night?" Rock smirked sarcastically at him. "Yeah, yeah, just pick one you think is good." Rock sighed as he returned his gaze to the stores and entertainment zooming by the window, the snow had let up and was now falling gently, as though from a dark veil that the dark sky had become. After another fifteen minutes of what seemed mindless turns and twists, the cab pulled up to the front of a hotel that appeared to be decent. Commanding that the driver should stay there, Rock ran in to check for vacancy.
"Yes,
are there any rooms available?" Rock asked quickly. "There is
sir, just one room left, a single occupant." She smiled. "Damn…"
Rock grumbled, "She's not going to like this…"
"Sir?"
The clerk asked, "Yeah, I'll take it." Rock said, handing over
several bills and returning his gaze to the Taxi outside. "I'll
be right back." Rock said motioning towards the cab in front. "Oh!
Sir, your room key, here you are!" She said bowing. "Enjoy your
stay" Rock nodded, "yeah, thanks" Rock called as he ran out
into the snow again and slowly pulled Revy out of the car and carried
her inside the hotel, placing her gently in one of the chairs in the
lobby as he ran outside to grab their luggage and hauled it inside as
well, paying the driver at the curb, he drove away, leaving Rock to
drag their luggage and an essentially unconscious Revy to their room.
"Fourth floor, fantastic…" Rock mumbled as he asked the Clerk
to watch his bags as he carried Revy up to 'their' new room.
Rock opened the door with the cardkey and placed Revy gently in the bed, so as not to wake her. Then quickly disappeared downstairs again to retrieve their luggage, as he reached the ground floor he glanced around to notice the clerk was gone. Shrugging, he picked up their luggage and walked back towards the elevator. "Oh! There you are! Sorry, I thought I could catch you at the elevator, I forgot to give you this." She was holding a do-not-disturb sign and another cardkey. "Uh, thanks…" Rock said nodding to her. Though Rock couldn't imagine what they were going to need a do-not-disturb sign for after the first morning they woke Revy up too early, he took it graciously anyway and stepped inside the elevator. "She's not going to like this…at all…" Rock sighed as he exited the elevator and pulled their stuff into the room. Placing it in a corner he quickly located the couch near the window and closed the blinds, the sun was now finally peaking over the mountains in the distance. "Damn it, already almost sunrise…" Rock grumbled as he collapsed onto the couch and, was almost immediately asleep.
