Author's notes: This fanfiction is a gift for my best friend, Sethra Ri-Senzo, for her birthday. (Even through it is too early!) Sethra-chan, I hope you like this fanfic!
And, readers, I hope you like it too! Enjoy!
Ginji Amano and Ban Mido are driving to a restaurant called Honky Tonk, after paying another tow bill for Ban's car.
"I'm soooo hungry!" chibi Ginji said. He rubs his spiky blonde hair. He accidentally creates the electricity from rubbing his hair. Ban hisses at him because he feels the hairs on his bare arms are standing out to respond the electricity.
Ginji grins in a goofy way. He wears an oversized white T-shirt with green vase and light brown short pants. His shoes are brown too. Ginji's eyes are lovely brown shade.
"If you start to eat me, I'm going to beat you up." Ban said as he parks in front of Honky Tonk.
Unlike Ginji, Ban has wild brown hair. His T-shirt is white. The ends of his shirt are long in the seaweed-style. Ban's pants is black. His shoes are brown. He slides his purple sunglass up on his nose. Ban's eyes are handsomely blue.
"I hope that Paul gives us the food. I mean we didn't pay the bills for a long time." Ginji said.
Ban does not say anything. He stands out of his car and walks inside the Honky Tonk. Ginji follows him.
"Ginji-san! Ban-san!" Natsumi said.
"Natsumi-chan! O genki desu ka?" Ginji asked and held Natsumi's hands. (A/N: translated: "O genki desu ka?" is "how are you?")
"Genki desu! And you?" Natsumi asked. (A/N: "I'm fine!" in English)
"Genki desu! Can we have something to eat? Pretty please with a cherry on top?" Ginji asked.
"Yes, you can have this." Paul said.
He places a plate on the bar. It is plainly peanut butter with grape jelly sandwiches.
"Aw, man! Sandwiches again?" Ginji complained.
"No real food until you pay the bills." Paul said as he was returned to his newspaper.
Sullenly, Ginji eats the sandwiches.
"Hey! Leave some food for me!" Ban said.
Usually, Ginji and Ban are fighting over the food. Paul read his newspaper again. He hopes that his reading would drain the electric and scream noises out. Pore looks up when he hears the bell ring, which suggests a guest comes inside.
"Hi, guys!" a blonde woman said.
"Hevn-san!" Ginji said cheerfully.
Hevn does not notice that Ban walks behind her and grasps her in an improper way.
"How nice for you to fix those 'things' for me!" Ban said cheerfully.
As usual, Hevn hits Ban hard as she can. Ban almost disappears inside the wall. Chibi Ginji is panicking about Ban's disappearing in the wall. He pulls Ban out of the wall. Paul tells Hevn or Ban to pay for the damage on the wall. Coldly, she tells him to put it on Ban's tab. Ban curses at her about having to pay Paul MORE than before.
"I got another case for you. So, here is the client. His name is Atsushi Daiki." Hevn said.
A middle-aged man walks in. He is a well-groomed man. His outfit shows that he is very wealthy. Sadly, he is not a quite popular man because of his weird looking hair.
"No woman this time?" Chibi Ginji whispered to Ban.
"No thanks. We are not interesting in." Ban said quickly. Perhaps, Atsushi's weird hairstyle scares a crap out of Ban. (Ban: That's a lie!!)
"But, you haven't heard what I offer you!" Atsushi cried tearfully.
Yup, Atsushi is a VERY unpopular with people. Ban keeps stares at Atsushi's hair. For a minute, he thought he saw one of the client's hairs started to move as if it was reached out for Ban. Chibi Ginji secretly hides behind Ban from the client's hair.
Ignoring the world's most of the two idiots, Hevn offers Atsushi a place to sit down on the booth. Ban and Ginji are joining them, but they are sitting away from the client's wagging hair. Hevn sits near the wall. She is trying to sit far away from the client's hair, so she would not drown in monstrous hair.
'Hevn-san is such a brave woman.' Chibi Ginji thought.
"So, what is your offer?" Ban asked.
He reaches out for a cigarette and lights it out. He puffs a smoke out and surprises that Atsushi's hair backs up from the smoke. Ha-ah.. He finds a weakness in the hair! With that weakness, he could win the battle! Maybe Atsushi leaves him alone!
"I'm supposed to retrieve my order few days ago, but something's happened to it. Here is the picture of my order." Atsushi said.
He hands out a picture. Ban and Ginji look at it and shock about the picture. A lovely necklace with forty or fifty diamonds lies on the royal blue cloth. Atsushi is filthy richer than Ban thought.
"This necklace is for my wife on her birthday." Atsushi said.
Wait a minute… He has a wife? Is she willing to marry him or forcing to marry him?
"This necklace is worth four million dollars."
'Four million dollars….? Holy shit.'
'You said it, Ginji. You have said it.'
"Normally, I could go to the cops, but I take my action back. Something's weird about it's missing." Atsushi said.
'Weirder than your hair?' Ban thought.
Chibi Ginji panics when one of Atsushi's hairs crawls towardly to him. He attacks it with the fork. Again…Again.. and again.
Hevn buries her face on her hand because she embarrasses about Ginji's action. Obviously, the client does not notice Ginji's killing the hair.
"Weird? What do you mean?" Ban asked, puffed another smoke.
"The truck driver, who was supposed to bring the necklace, was found by the cops. He was barely alive in the truck. I heard that he would make it. The doctor said that the driver lost a quart of blood by through the bite marks on his neck. The guards, protectors of the necklace in the truck, were discovered with bizarre wounds as if they were attacking by somebody with long blades." Atsushi said.
Ban is going to tell Atsushi that they are not interesting in his case, but the client bows down. Ban nearly jumps out of his seat when his hair almost touches him. Ginji almost drowns in the hair.
"Please, get my necklace back! I'm willing to pay you 40,000 yens!"
Now, that gets their attention! Lusty of the money, Ban and Ginji stands up in front of Atsushi.
"You got yourself Getbackers." Ban said.
"Yeah!" Ginji said.
They are walking out Honky Tonk to Ban's car. Ginji and Ban are not aware that it is not going to be an easy mission, especially that their lives are depending on it. The deadliest hour has begun.
