The dessert sun shone on a little village far away in the wild west. Skeletons of old cows and horses were littered here and there. Vultures dominated the sky searching for easy prey with their sharp vision. Rattlesnakes lied on the warm boulders soaking up the heat and enjoying the quiet environment.
Off in the distance a young man riding a beautiful white stallion with a blue mane could be seen, his jet black haired reached his shoulders and he wore a white short sleeved shirt with a brown leather jacket. Around his neck was a red bandana trimmed in silver silk along the edges. He had a flat brown tin gallon hat and blue leather pants that reached to his black boots that had two sharp spurs each. Along his waist was a gold belt that held his pants up. On his belt were to guns one on each side and golden bullets lined the rest of his belt. His small dagger sword that was hanging around his neck on a piece of thin leather glistened in the sun.
The stranger arrived at the little village, he lifted his hat a little and read the writing on the old signpost quietly to himself.
"Cherokee City" said the stranger as he tugged down his hat and went into the village.
A beautiful young lady wearing a white dress, white sun hat and long gloves that reached up to her shoulder carrying a light pink umbrella walked into the local saloon.
She walked up to the bar and took a seat while the old pot bellied bartender greeted her cheerfully.
"Good afternoon Miss Shizuka what brings you here today?" asked the bartender as the young lady called Shizuka smiled and answered.
"Nothing I just got a bit bored and came over, maybe I could help you run the bar for a while?" asked Shizuka as the bartender chuckled.
"Ha ha your always being so helpful Miss Shizuka, but if you like then you can come and run the bar with me" he offered. Shizuka nodded and stored her umbrella underneath the stair way leading to the hotel rooms in the saloon and got behind the counter.
"You know Miss Shizuka I noticed that every time you're here I get more male customers then normal" teased the bartender as Shizuka giggled a little bit.
"You saying I attract more attention then those business pamphlets and signs you stick outside the bar then?" she asked.
"Ha ha ha way more" said the old bartender as they laughed together.
Outside the mysterious stranger was getting quite the attention from the local's since they don't get much visitors and outsiders coming to their village. The stranger and his horse walked by the saloon when he heard an angelic voice and laughter reach his ears. His eyes swung to the doors of the saloon were the angelic voice seemed to be coming from.
'Hmmm I guess a room and a bit of booze will be nice after my long journey' thought the stranger as he tied his horse beside the drinking trough and ruffled it's mane affectionately before entering the saloon.
When he entered a few guys stared at him while some ladies had hearts in their eyes at seeing the handsome young man. The stranger ignored the stares and sat on a random seat at the bar and motioned for the bartender.
"May I help you Sir?" asked Shizuka as she studied the handsome young man in front of her. The stranger lifted his hat a bit and looked at her with warm black eyes that held power, wisdom and intelligence. They stared at each other for a while both thinking 'Wow, she's/he's so beautiful/handsome'. The stranger then snapped out of his daze and pulled down his hat.
"A glass of cold beer would do" he said. Shizuka also snapped out of her daze and blushed a little bit.
"Coming right up" she said barley above a whisper. Needless to say everyone else in the bar noticed their little 'staring' contest. Some guys glared at the stranger with jealousy while the ladies glared at Shizuka with jealousy. The only person that didn't glare was the old bartender who was sitting on a stall taking a nap before the stranger came. He raised his eyebrows when he saw Shizuka blush and chuckled to himself. "Ahhhh young love" he mumbled before going back to snoozing.
Shizuka served the handsome stranger his beer and watched as he drank it slowly enjoying the taste. 'Those lips of his look so kissable...wait what the hell am I saying! I only meet him for less than a minute and I'm already thinking of kissing him!' Shizuka shook those thoughts out and returned to drying some glass cups.
When she was done drying the cups two tall men walked into the saloon. One was bulky and dressed entirely in black with a yellow bandana around his neck and two guns at his side. He also wore a flat black hat with the letter 'G' stitched on it. The other man wore the exact same clothing only he was shorter and skinnier than the first and he had the letter 'S' stitched on his hat.
The saloon fell quiet as everyone in the village knew of the two. They were experienced and ruthless gunmen who lived in Cherokee City. Nobody in the village dared to go against them in a shoot-out for those who have were killed by their bullets. The two men walked up to the bar, the bulky one stared at the stranger and thundered out.
"Oi, stranger do you know whose seat your sitting on!" when he said this everyone finally noticed that the stranger was sitting on the bulky man's special seat which was reserved for him only.
"No, I don't know. To me this is just a random seat in the bar where anyone can sit on" replied the stranger calmly that shocked everyone to the core including the two men. Nobody in the history of Cherokee City has ever dared to say something like that to them without getting their head shot of by a bullet.
"You fool! do you not know who we are?" roared the bulky man that made the windows rattle.
"Nope" replied the stranger. Which shocked everyone even more.
"I'm Takeshi Goda, the strongest gunmen in all of Cherokee City!" the man named Goda thundered again.
"And I'm Honekawa Suneo, the second strongest gunmen in Cherokee City!" thundered the shorter man.
"...Is that so?" said the stranger as he continued sipping on his beer. During this little verbal exchange Shizuka couldn't help think how brave and bold this stranger was, she gave a dreamy sigh which made the old bartender grin widely.
"Grrrrrrr you need to be taught a lesson stranger! I challenge you to a shoot-out!" declared Goda which gained a lot of gasps. The stranger finished his beer and turned to face Goda and Suneo with a cold look and grin. He then stood up and stood face to face with Goda making Goda and Suneo sweat a little from his bravery and confidence.
"I Nobi Nobita accept your challenge" declared the stranger which earned even more gasps including Shizuka herself.
"Very well...EVERYONE OUTSIDE!" shouted Goda as his voice cleared the saloon within seconds.
"I'll meet you outside as well" said Goda as he and Suneo left leaving only Nobita, Shizuka and the old bartender in the saloon. Nobita began walking towards the exit when a trembling hand grabbed onto his arm. He turned and saw Shizuka with a terror stricken face.
"Hmmm?" mused Nobita as Shizuka stuttered a bit.
"Um...Mr Nobita...I...uh...don't think you should go against them. They've...killed every single gunman who dared to accept their challenge" Shizuka chocked out.
Nobita stayed silent for a few seconds before his eyes softened and a grin was plastered on his face
"Don't worry I won't die, not when there's a beautiful lady I want to get to know" said Nobita which caused Shizuka to turn bright red. Before she could say anything her new found love already walked out of the door.
"...you better not die...I want to get to know you too" she said. All the while neither of them noticed the bartender's grin that threatened to split his face.
"Ahhhh it's good to be young" he muttered and lead Shizuka out to watch the gun fight.
