UNEXPECTED LOVE



---"My love, my dreams, and you.....I won't let those go, no matter what."---



Stars. Stars filled the sky. The 'twighlight' sky. So calm and quiet. Like the soft whispers of a ghostly spirit. The moon full and bright, casting it's shadow onto the face of the Earth. Twighlight Suzuka ran out into the open field as two cars steered passed her. Keeping up pace with the beautiful assassin.
"Give up," one of the guys squealed, his voice dry against the cool wind. She stopped, in silence, breathing heavily.
"Bastards!" she yelled out, grabbing onto her komono. A tall, blonde handsome young man stepped out of the car. He slowly made his way to her, and looked her over, hungrily. Then he quickly reached for the opening of her shirt. Suzuka immediately reacted to his insult by slapping him hard across the face. Before she could pull out her trustworthy weapon, the man had placed his hands on her shoulder and pulled at her clothes. Tugging hard, making Suzuka fall to the ground to cover up her naked body.
"Take her in," a man yelled out, into the night.

"This lil pig went to market....this lil pig stayed home...," Gene sat with one hand on the steering wheel, boring himself with rhyming songs. Jim turned up the radio, shaking his head, disapprovingly. He turned over to the grassy fields when he noticed someone familiar.
"Hey, Gene. Isn't that Suzuka?" Jim questioned, turning off the volume, as Gene pulled to a stop.
"Jim, take over the wheel," he replied, jumping out of the car. But turned around to grab a pistol, then ran out into the open field.
"Let me go, you Fucken Bastards!!!" Suzuka yelled out as she pulled away from the man. But his grasp was too tight.
"Ay!!" everyone turned in the direction of where the voice was coming from.
"And who the hell is this guy???" one of the men yelled out.
"The name's Gene, Gene Starwind," he replied, with a smile.
"Get him!" one of them yelled, still holding onto Suzuka. She began tugging, then kneed him hard. She quickly ran over to where she had dropped her weapon, grabbing it, Suzuka ran behind Gene. He looked her over once, and sweat dropped. Standing in front of the naked woman, Gene swung around and grabbed at Suzuka's hand and began running into the direction of the car.
She tried hard to cover her nakedness, but it was just no use. Gene immediately took off his trench coat and handed it to her. Suzuka grabbed at it, and quickly pulled it on, without saying a word. But suddenly stopped, making Gene swing back and nearly falling to the ground.
"Aaaayy!!! What the hell you stoppin' for??!??!" he yelled at her.
Suzuka looked down to see Gene's hand tightly on hers, "I didn't need your help."
"Listen, we have our differences, but what the fuck?!? This ain't the time to be tellin' me this, hurry up!" he said aloud, as he continued to tug her until they reached the car. Suzuka climbed in, followed by Gene. Jim stepped on the accelerator, as the engine roared.
"There's some clothes back there, put it on," Gene uttered, staring straight ahead.
"And who the hell do you think you are to tell me what to do," she replied, glaring at him. Jim shook his head, but continued to stay quiet.
"Hey, if you wanna be naked the whole time, I'm alright with that, because it's gettin' a bit chilly," Gene said, pretending to freeze, with a kiddish smile on his face. Suzuka rolled her eyes, and looked around, finding a short skirt, a tight tank-top and a pair of boots on the bottom of the seat.
She pulled off the jacket, as though not realizing her nakedness. Gene stared up at the rear view mirror. But immediately turned away, trying hard not to look. Although, he had practically seen everything of Suzuka's. And it wasn't all that bad.
"Tell me this," she began, "Why is there woman clothes in your car?"
Jim laughed, "Don't mind it, Gene likes to encounter his feminine side every once in a while." Suzuka smiled, as she finished pulling on the clothes.
"Hey, shut up, Jim. A girl friend of mine left her clothes here, that's all," he answered, reassuringly.



The car slowed to a stop at Starwind & Hawkins Enterprises. Gene got out of the car and stretched out his arms. Then turned to Suzuka who handed him the long coat. He took it, but looked her over, how the clothes fitted tightly on her slim figure. Such a nice figure too. It was quite unusual to see Twighlight Suzuka in this state. She was always covered up, from head to toe. Every bit of detail, trailed away.
"Hello! Gene!" Jim yelled, waving a free hand in front of him.

Jim pulled open the door, then clicked on the light. Letting Suzuka enter before the both of them. She studied the room wearily as she sat down at the counter that was quite familiar to her. Jim walked up beside the young woman.
"You hungry?" he questioned, out of curiosity.
Gene walked up behind him, "We're goin' over to Clyde's tonight." After saying so, he turned to face Suzuka, who sat and returned his gaze. But quickly spoke up.
"Is it alright if I shower here?" she questioned.

Gene paced back and fourth, continueslly, waiting impatiently. Jim smiled, thinking of a sudden thought, that would have made his friend feel that way. Women. In the company of women, Gene could never stay in one place. But what was odd, that it were Suzuka instead of someone else. Why would Gene even bother to try to impress her, he and she never really gotton along.
"What the hell's takin' her so long??? Shit, I'm cravin' for some whiskey," he moaned, turning to Jim. Who sat on his bed, flipping through a engine catalog.
"I have no idea, you should know, Gene....you're the one who's interested in women," he replied, with a dim smile. Gene stopped and looked at Jim, giving him an annoyed expression that told him not to know too much. He quickly walked into the hallway, then stopped in front of the open door of the bathroom, listening to the soft dripping of the water. It had been weeks, since he accidentally shot at the bathroom door, and never bothered to get it fixed or try to fix it. Some life.
He slowly leaned into the door, his arms crossed in front of his broad chest. Suzuka didn't seem to notice Gene's company. Instead, she sat in the white marble tub and gently carressed at her delicate pale skin. Her long black hair rested on her shoulders, not up in it's usual place. The jet black reflecting the bright light of the room. Gene stood in place, leaning against the door, looking and waiting for Suzuka to notice him.
She turned slowly as she recognized a tall dark figure standing near the door, which surprised her.
"We need to talk," Gene uttered, walking in, but stayed back a couple feet.
"Well, do you mind? I'm not the type of girl who would let a guy like yourself take advantage of," she replied, smoothing her black hair behind her.
Gene let out a laugh that was his usual, "Let's get to the point, I wanna know what you're doing here? And whatever happend after I landed with the Outlaw Star?"
"Put it this way," Suzuka began, as she turned to Gene, "I needed a change, and I was onto someone, until those ignorant fools showed up......can you hand me the towel?" Gene glanced into the direction she had pointed out. Then grabbed the towel handing it to her, but stayed a couple steps back.
She looked up at him, as though waiting. And so Gene did as he was told, without Suzuka even saying a word. He turned around, obediently. Suzuka slowly stood up as she quickly wrapped the white towel around her body, then stepping out of the lukewarm water. She immediately walked passed Gene without saying a word. He turned to look at the girl as she exited, her deep black hair swaying behind her.
