My second Get Backers story. I'm writing this one because I should be able to update it if I write shorter chapters. This chapter is based off scenes from volumes 1 and 2 of the manga.

And for this story, I'm using the Japanese endings, because I like Ginji saying Ban-chan. And I would really appreciate any feedback. Might change the title. And the rating may change in later chapters.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything from Get Backers.

"Baan-chan, I'm hungry," Ginji whined, curled up on the ground in fetal position.

"Shut it. You ate yesterday, so you won't die. Get up off your ass and help me hand out fliers," Ban retorted, ignoring his partners' dramatics.

Ginji glanced up, watching as Ban pursued people around, handing them fliers or attempting to talk to them to try and get their attention as they walked by. Ginji rested his head on the sidewalk and tried to ignore his rumbling stomach. They had been at this for hours, and Ginji was ready to call it quits. They hadn't even gotten one job.

A few minutes passed before Ginji spoke up again, "Ban-chan, we should go and see if Natsumi-chan will let us have a free lunch. Maybe Hevn-san will have a job for us." Ginji winced as Ban aimed a kick in his direction.

"Quit being lazy and help me already," Ban grumbled, while noticing that people were beginning to avoid him.

Ginji glanced over his shoulder as he heard a loud rumble that didn't come from him. A tow truck was driving by, with Ban's Subaru in tow, "..." Ginji's hope for food sunk lower. Great, now their car was gone. They really needed a job now. Ginji sighed. And Ban wasn't getting anywhere with the fliers.

"Ban-chan?"

"What?"

"The car got towed again."

"..."

"Ban-chan?"

"..." THUNK!

"Owww...why'd you hit me? You were the one who parked badly."

"..."

"Ban-chan?"

Ban moodily stirred his cup of coffee, sitting at a booth in the Honky Tonk. Across from him, Ginji took a sip from his own mug, using one hand to hold an icepack on top of his head. Ban had hit him too hard.

Paul glanced over at them from behind the counter, "Your car got towed again, didn't it?"

Ban ignored him.

Natsumi leaned on the counter, "It did, didn't it?"

Ginji nodded gloomily, dodging a swipe from Ban by going chibi for a second.

"Hey you two, how did the fliers work out?" Hevn questioned as she entered the Honky Tonk.

"What do you want?" Ban grumbled irritably, not bothering to look at her.

Ginji, however, was smiling, "Hevn-san! Do you have a job for us?" Ignoring Ban glaring at him, he added, "We really need the money..."

"Sorry, nothing new," Hevn responded, then held up a bag, "I have this, though, as part of your payment form the last job. I had a feeling you'd probably not hold onto the money.

"What is it?" Ban asked with interest, his irritability gone with the arrival of the bag.

"Look and see," Hevn responded, setting the bag down on the table. She walked over to a barstool, "I'd like a cup of coffee please."

"Coming right up!" Natsumi replied. Once she had given Hevn the cup of coffee, she turned her attention to Ban and Ginji, who were staring at the bag.

Ginji stood up and peered inside.

"What is it Ginji?"

"Ban-chan...it's...it's..." Ginji reached into the bag and took out...

"SUSHI!" Ban exclaimed, diving over the table and wrestling with Ginji for the food, which Ginji was attempting to keep out of reach as he began downing it. "Dammit Ginji! Don't keep it all for yourself!"

"Mpf...you already ate more than me last time!"

"Gimme it now!" THWACK!

"Oww..." Ginji dropped the plate of sushi onto the ground as he chibified and rubbed his head where a new bump had appeared.

Ban dove for the plate of sushi and began to eat it," Hahaha! It's mine now!" Ban didn't notice that sparks had begun to fly from Ginji.

"Ban...chan..."

Ban glanced over his shoulder at Ginji's tone of voice, and failed to move fast enough to avoid being shocked by 30,000 volts. Ban backed of for a second, cursing, as Ginji was on the sushi in a flash, happy again.

Natsumi, Hevn, and Paul watched the exchange in amusement.

"Hey, Hevn-san?" Natsumi whispered.

"Hmm?"

"You do have a job, don't you?"

"Maybe."

The sushi was gone within minutes.

"Any chance of getting more?" Ban asked Hevn hopefully as he retrieved his coffee.

"You can get more with the money you earn from a job I have for you." Hevn responded.

"What? I thought you didn't have any jobs." Ban said in annoyance.

"Well, you want it either way, right? Your car got towed again, didn't it? So wouldn't it be nice to have a little extra cash after you get the car back?" Hevn commented.

"Dammit."

"Oh, and it pays four million." Hevn said off-handedly.

"Done! We'll take it!" Ban said at once. He glanced over his shoulder at Ginji, who was chibified and gazing sadly at the empty sushi plate. "C'mon Ginji, get moving. Four mil!" When Ban saw that Ginji was getting up, he turned his attention back to Hevn, "Okay, so what's the job?"

"I think you'll like this one," Hevn replied with a smile.

Review if you like. This is just to see if it flowed all right. Hopefully it wasn't OOC. The next chapter will be more interesting.

So, until the next update, thanks for reading and/or reviewing.
