Gone
By: Enchanted Echoes
Chapter 1. Kidnapped
It was late on the night, but there where still some people inside the Honky Tonk. None of them were clients, though.
Ban and Ginji were eating ham sandwiches Natsumi had specially baked for them, free. Once again, they have found themselves workless, penniless and starving.
- If you keep feeding them they'll end living of you, Natsumi- warned Paul. Looking over his always-present-newspaper.
- I can't help it. I feel really pity for them- answered the young lady, as she placed the last dry dish on its place, provoking Ban with her comment.
- p-pity?- he humbled, trying his best to do not jump on Natsumi and made her retract for that.
- Shhh Ban. She's the unique one who fed us when we're like this, don't make her anger- begged Ginji with puppy eyes.
Ban couldn't deny that and he sighted in resign.
-Well, once I'm done with this I gotta go home to finish a scholar project….- said tired Natsumi- it will be a long night. She was about to take the sweeper when a she felt a had in her shoulder gently restraining her.
- It's okay, Natsumi, you can go. -
-Thanks Paul- Natsumi hanged her uniform on the wall and walked out of the Honky Tonk, saying goodbye cheerfully to the boys.
Outside, the wind was cold and strong. A few drops of rain felt from the sky, it was going to be a tough storm…
Natsumi ran to her place, trying to get there before the rain got worse, but she stopped a few blocks before at the sight of a black band. A man, dressed in black was staring ant her through his dark glasses. She didn't know exactly why, but she ran in the opposite direction.
The man started haunting her…
Kyo Haruno was in his office, patiently waiting the arrival of his transporter when he received a call from his men. He draw a smile on his face when he heard the news and it widened when the door was opened by a slender man, dark dressed with a long hat at the top of his head.
- It's good that you came- said the man standing up- I have a job for you.
Akabane smiled.
Natsumi had, both her feet and her hands tied, she was inside the black band. That man had managed to capture her and get her in the truck just before she could do something or even scream for help.
Several hours have passed, and she had no idea where they where taking her to. She was scared, tears were forming on her eyes, but she wouldn't cry.
The truck suddenly stopped, the man stepped off and dragged Natsumi with them. She forced her way, but they were too strong for her. She would have screamed if it weren't for the tape in her mouth.
-We want you to escort her to Okinawa. To the Kisaragi's residence- Informed Kyo – You'll win a lot of money.
-That's not of my interest- explained politely Akabane while looking out the window. Kyo's crowd was aggressively changing the girl to a more spacious truck. He thought he new the girl somehow, she worked at the Get Backers coffee shop if he remembered well. –That girl…-
- It's possible that the Get Backers get on our way, that why we request your help Dr. Jekyll - continued Kyo (a/n: is jackal or jeckyl? I saw the series in Japanese and the subtitled it as Jekyll, but it seems like jackal. Please let me now)
- Possible?-
-Almost granted- answered, knowing that Akabane will accept at the knowledge of strong opponents implied.
- In that case, you count on me- said Akabane smiling. He made a goodbye gesture with his hat and then he leaved the room.
Natsumi hit her arm when one of the men threw her carelessly on the truck. A few tear drops started forming in her eyes for the pain.
Little after a man entered the truck and Natsumi wanted to scream really hard.
" Akabane-san?" she thought " Why him?"
The engine could be heard as the truck started to advance.
El motor se puso en marcha y el camión se puso en camino.
-You must be Natsumi-kun- said Akabane with his there's-nothing-wrong-here tone.
Ban and Ginji were sleeping In the buggy outside the Honky Tonk. When they where awakened abruptly by Paul.
- What's wrong, Master?- asked Ginji yawning.
- It's Hevn. She says there's a work for you two, and can't wait-
-It was time for that woman to show up. Maybe we can eat something decent for a couple of days- said Ban with illusion. Magically getting up.
- But it may not be a cool job- informed Hevn. Sick of waiting the boys in the coffee shop she had gone to the car too. – Natsumi has been kidnapped.
Both guys got serious instantly and they looked at Hevn anxiously.
-She's in danger, as Kurodou Akabane is with her.
