Natsu: Hello! Mabushii no hikari proudly presents... Maku-chan's fic!

Makubex: … stop it Natsu… you're embarrassing me…

Natsu: Heh?

Makubex: 'sigh' Anyways:

This is my first time to write a fanfic, so please pardon me if I'm doing it wrong. I planned to make this a doujinshii, but I'm a pretty busy body to draw so here you go… complains are welcome by all means… looong chapters, too long perhaps. I'll be using Kadz for Kadzuki. Italic letters for thoughts and etc. Warning: spoilers, shonen-ai, fluff, yaoi, Ban x Kadz, & Jackal x Kadz, a bit change in Akabane's attitude …-;

K Island

Fuyu: I can't wait for it!

Aki: Me neither

Haru: ... BXK?

Chap1: shonen-ai alert

Nothing like a cold drink on a hot afternoon at Honky Tonky! Hevn, Ban, and Ginji are having a usual meeting for their next mission. Ginji sips from his lemonade, listening to Hevn blabber. Mean while Ban is blankly staring outside, his hands in pockets, a cigarette on his lips, silent as a snake, thinking of someone… 'special'.

"Ban-chan? Baaannn-chhhaaannn? HELLO! Earth to Ban, come in, Ban!" chibi Ginji called, waving his hand frantically in front of the pale face, - there was no answer.

"What's with him?" Hevn startles at the tare.

Ginji looks at the direction Ban is staring at, "Maybe he saw something."

Hevn follows but there's nothing there, they looked harder, still nothing. Paul, out of curiosity, takes a glance at them across his newspaper. After some moment, Hevn grabs a pitcher of ice water.

Ginji tries to stop her, "Hevn-san dame (don't)...!" but it was too late.

Ban pops up from his seat, his fangs showing, "DAMN IT! Why did the hell you did that for !"

"You were obviously not listening to me you dumb-head, you should thank me! And- you're kinda creepin me out…"Hevn protested.

"She's right, Ban-chan…" Ginji returns to human form, a worries expression on his face.

"Shut up, will ya'!" Ban slams chibi Ginji's chin down the tabletop.

"Aaaawwww!"

The door chimes rung as Kadzuki and Akabane enters the café. Hevn welcomes them, "Finally, I thought you guys would never come." Dakkanya froze. Jackal's killer eyes targeted on the shaking chibi. Ban lets go of his punch and looks away of Kadz's innocent hazel eyes and ever-so-sweet smile, fixing his wet violet glasses.

"Hello, Ginji … and Ban." The girl-like-guy cutely smiles at them, walking closer to the frightened chibi.

"Kadzuki-chan, why is Akabane-san here?"

"Hevn called me here, so she must have called Jackal here for your next mission too."

"Noooooooo!", he whines with waterfall tears.

Ban stares at the slim figure from the corner of his eye.

Kadz notices Ban, " Ban, what happened to you?"

"Hn? Oh, Hevn just splashed me with some ICE WATER.", he stresses out his last two words.

Hevn grins "Well, if haven't been daydreaming you should still be dry now, won't you!"

Kadz eyes widened, "Ban? Daydreaming?"

Ban tries to distract Kadz's thought, shouting at Hevn, "You could've at least just called me to wake up!"

"We DID. – Anyway let's get to business."

"FINE!" Ban sits down and places his arms over his seat.

Tare Ginji pulls his sleeve, "But- but-... Ban-chaaannn…"

"What?"

Ginji shows him a puppy dogface, waterfall tears, pointing at the tall black 'doctor' across the room.

"So what? You've been with him and never end up dead, right."

"But Ban-chan, I don't wanna be with him, he's scary!"

"Eh, shuddup!"

Akabane sneers at Ginji's pitiful sight as he hides behind Kadz, filled in cold sweat and trembling. "I guess I'll be having 'fun'."

After their meeting, the guys went off in Ban's car to an abandoned fishing port, where Juubei is ready with a speedboat, and to their destination- an island found nowhere in the map of Japan.

flashback—

"I got some info from some retired fishermen that anyone who goes there never comes back…" Hevn points at the middle of the island's map, "… and over here is where your target is. This guy…" she takes out 2 pictures, a man and a mansion, "…Yami Kuroushide."

Ban took the picture, looking at it as if he knew the man, "Kuroushide," he murmured then glances at Jackal. Hevn continues, "He bought this island and made a mansion where your target is hidden. He's not very popular and how he got rich is a secret. He is declared dead many years ago, but nobody knows where his body is or what happened to him.

Our customer is one of his keepers and the others are presently in other countries holding his money and he wants you to do is bring back Yami if he IS still alive and to bring his secret treasure back. He gave me no description of it though. Each will be paid 5 million yen in cash…. take it?" Everyone agreed.

end of flashback

They scanned the island's bare shores. Ban squishes his cigarette into the sand, "So, this is Kuroushide's island." They headed for the forested area when out of the sands sprung sharp metal thorns. They jump, trying to keep themselves out of range.

"BAN-CHAN!" Ginji cries out.

"GINJI!" Ban shout back as the towering metal separates them.

Juubei couldn't help but yells, "KADZUKI!"

They got surrounded and divided; only a path towards the forest was open. Ban is left with Kadz, Juubei with Jackal and Ginji. Juubei tries cutting the thorns with his needles but the metal is too tough. He got so desperate, wanting to be near his angel, that he kept yelling his head off. Akabane tips his hat, "Save your strength, Mr. Needles, even though your partner can hear you he won't be able to cross this barrier." He looks ahead, then at Ginji, "-Shall we?" Ginji turns to chibi and steps back a bit, getting a cold sweat.

Juubei stops, Kadzuki, please be safe…

Ginji begins to feel desperate too, Ban-chan, doko ni iru(where are you)? I don't wanna be with Akabane-san! I'm scared! BAN-CHAN!

From the other side Kadz touches the cold metal of a thorn, a hand on his chest, Juubei. Behind him, Ban lights up a cigarette, trying not to feel the other's emotions, thinking that Kadz is worried about his stupid protector.

He notices the blank path, "Let's go. He can take care of himself." Kadz looks at him, his sad brown eyes seemed to pierce him through and all he could do is to look away. He searches for good words, "Don't worry about him, he's a strong enough guy." He turns around, walking ahead

Kadz startles at him, "But he's still blind …"

"Are you coming or not?"

A trap suddenly opens beneath their feet. Ban and Kadz fell as the ground caves in downwards, not having a chance to jump away; the edges are too far from reach. The pit's walls shoot arrows at them. Ban protects himself but finds his back against Kadz's, being protected by his strings.

Darkness engulfs them more. Ban sees a faint shining below, water? "Kadzuki, hold your breath !" SPLASH!

On the other side Juubei hears the calling of Kadz's name. Its tone of voice makes him uneasy more than he already does. Their ground suddenly opens, sending the 3 falling into a long large tunnel. Juubei lands painfully faced down, his shades/goggles/whatever receiving a crack from the impact. Ginji falls on him, back on back.. Jackal (keeping his 'cool') lands beside them, a hand on hat, the other in pocket (as usual).

"My, my, what do we have here?" They got into a cemented room underground. No doors, no other openings. Ginji sees soft green and yellow light from his view.

Makubex: Ok, I know it's not that good, and it's too serious, but hey, at least I had a start

Natsu: Is my edit quite ok? Please Maku-chan tell a.s.a.p okie! X 3
