Aniki?
Chapter 1
It was a perfectly sunny day in Shinjuku. The weather was fine, the atmosphere was fine, everything was fine.
The birds that were perched on a tree sang their lively tunes while the squirrels ran playfully on the said tree.
It was a very normal day, or so anyone would have thought.
CRASH!
"You're who's what?…."
And the birds flew away, afraid for their dear lives while the squirrels fell off the tree where they had played; their ears were almost bleeding from the sudden outburst from a nearby café.
So why, would you so kindly ask, would someone be making such a ruckus on a perfectly sunny day?
To answer the said question, let's have a flashback of what had happened shall we?……
Honky Tonk-
A teenage girl entered the doors of Honky Tonk early in the morning, seven to be exact. If you would look more closely, she seems to resemble someone with her long black hair and amethyst eyes, but Paul left that thought behind.
"Ohayo!" the dark haired girl greeted. Paul just nodded. She took a seat at one of the stools at the far end of the bar. "Can I have a cup of green tea?"
"Hai."
While waiting for her order to come, she glanced at the clock.
"Here you go" Paul served her tea.
"Arigatou Gozaimasu."
"You don't look like you're from here…"
"Hai. I'm from Kyoto. I came here to wait for my brother.. I hope that you would not mind…"
"Lie. Customers are always welcome in my café."
After a while, two men, an urchin head and a blond who was still yawning came in.
"Ohayo Master…."
"Oi Paul, I want some coffee." As if on signal, Paul suddenly took a newspaper and pretended to read it.
"Damnit Paul!" The urchin head started to curse the said man.
"Ban-chan…." The blond tried to calm down his friend.
"I'm not giving anything until you pay your tab!" Paul rebuked.
"Teme…. we are gonna pay you, but not now! Ban growled.
"Prove it first!"
His blond partner looked worriedly at his friend and at Paul. "Ban-chan, there's other people here…" well, other people meant only the dark haired girl who was drinking her tea peacefully.
"I don't care Ginji, what I want is coffee!" Ginji cowered from his friend.
"Yare, yare…aren't the two of you too noisy on such a nice day as this.." The girl smiled at the two. "…very well, please serve them each a cup of coffee and sandwich.."
The two, apparently surprised at the girl, stared at her.
"Don't worry, it's on me."
Ginji nudged Ban. "Arigatou Miss, demo we don't know who you are yet, it's…"
"Why thank you very much miss!" Tare-Ban butted in from Ginji's speech and went straight to the girl, shaking her hand. "You heard that Paul!"
"Alright! Alright!"
While Paul prepared their orders, or rather, the girl's order for them, they surveyed the girl who continued to sip her tea. She appears to be the same age as Himiko or a year older. She has long midnight black hair and amethyst eyes.
"Ne Ban-chan, don't you think she looks familiar?" Ginji whispered to Ban.
Ban lighted a cigarette. "Nah. You just think too much.."
"I guess you're right, and besides, she looks cute, doesn't she?"
The girl placed her empty cup down on the counter and stood up. She walked closer to where the two was seated.
"Do you mind if I have a seat here besides the two of you?" she asked.
The two dakkanyas appear to be….well staring at the girl, especially Ban who was almost drooling at the sight.
The girl, who was currently standing before them, was wearing a short black hooded jacket, which was open, revealing a short black tube inside. She was also wearing short denim shorts and rubber shoes. Her skin was pale and her figure was just perfect for her height.
"Hello?" the girl waved a gloved hand to the two. They hadn't noticed that they were staring for almost a minute and were drooling.
Well………. Ban was drooling.
"Oh…er…" Ginji, however, was the first to snap out of his trance.
"You can sit here!" Tare Ban offered a seat at the middle of him and Ginji.
"Here you two go." Paul interrupted.
"So what's your name?" Ginji asked first.
"Just call me Shiki…" Shiki smiled. "..and the two of you are?"
"Ore wa Amano Ginji and he's Mido Ban!" Ginji stated proudly.
"We're the Getbackers, we can get back anything, and we have a 100 success rate." Ban added.
"..and they're always broke.." Paul injected.
"Urusai!"
Shiki chuckled. "Well nice to meet the two of you, ban-kun, Ginji-kun.." Ginji suddenly shivered by the call of his name, unknown to why. "Retrievers, you two must often be busy.."
"Not quite, jobs are a bit low nowadays.." Ginji took a bite from his sandwich.
"you mean, pay is low" Paul butted in again.
"Teme Paul!"
after 3 hours-
"You seem to be not from here are you?" Ginji asked.
"Hai! I had just arrived from Kyoto. I'm here to visit my brother.." just then, her cell phone vibrated. She took it out and read the message, then placed it back in her pocket. "It appears that my brother will be late…as expected." She sighed.
"If you had known that your brother would be late, then why did you come here early?" Ban questioned.
"My brother had mentioned that the food and drinks here are exquisite, so I thought, I'd spend some time here to see my self. She beamed at Paul.
"Why thank you very much from the compliment. I'm grateful that there's still customers like you.."
They continued to talked some more until the clock striked 11. The doors opened once more and the air shifted. In came a man clad in black and a longhaired, big breasted blond.
"Ohayo minna!" the blond cheered. The others just nodded. Shiki stood from her seat.
"Oi! Hevn! Have any j-"
"Onii-chan!" Ban, Ginji, Hevn and Paul were surprised from the sudden call. The man in black tilted his hat and looked at the girl.
"Onii-chan?" Tare Ban repeated.
"Shiki-chan?"
"Oni-chan! I missed you!" Shiki hugged the man tightly.
"I can't believe that Akabane-san has a younger sister.." Hevn said.
Ban was still in quite in a state of shock. He shook his head, looked at Akabane then at Shiki. "You're who's what!…"
