A/N: This is my first Get Backers fanfic. I don't much about GB, but this idea was driving me crazy(not that I'm not already). I hope you like it and stuff.

Disclaimer: I do not own Get Backers.

Chapter 1: Enter firestarter stage left

Anger boiled within her, growing too hot to ignore. She stared at her captors one by one. Her golden eyes finally laying on the man who killed her father; the man who threatened to hurt her grandfather and mother and the man who ordered for her to taken to such a forlorn place. The place scared her but that was the farthest from her eight-year old mind. She glared at his face, wanting to hurt him for hurting her daddy and taking him away. Who is this man? Yimura Ryou once a highly respected and feared employee of Lightsoft, her grandfather's company. The heat continued to grow.

"Hey is it getting hot in here?" Asked the man sitting near the window, with a cigarette between his lips.

"Now that you mention it-" The second man's words were drowned by Ryou Yimura's screams of pain. The other five men in the room froze in horror as Yimura's entire body was engulfed in flames. Their frightened eyes laid upon the third grader tied to the swivel chair. Heat seemed to radiate off of her tiny body. They screamed and scambled for the door.

Pireth's face was one of shock and horror. She stared at the evil man's body slowly burn and could not surpress her feelings of amusement and wonder. 'Did I do that?' The once 6'1" of a man was now barely five feet. He staggered toward the open window and jumped. It was more like falling, but jumping was his intention. The girl stared at the window before struggling with her ropes. 'Maybe I can do it again.' She closed her eyes and felt heat against her skin. It felt nice at first begining hauled into an old damp apartment. She opened her eyes and jumped out of her seat. The green swivel chair with the red faded diamonds was now an unrecognizable molten object, twisted and turned black by the heat.

She stumbled into a corner and put her face in her knees. 'I want mommy. And grandpa too.' Fire sprouted in the opposite corner but she paid no attention to it. The fire spread. It felt good, and warm. 'Just like home.' She turned her face into her knees and cried. The flames rose and fell like the tide. It was getting difficult to breathe but it felt good. It felt good to cry and let the flames express her sorrow. The apartment was getting too small and the fire needed more room to grow. Pireth stood up slowly walking through the red-orange flames as in a trance. She made her way down the building complex leaving a burning trail in her wake. When she reached the front doors, the spiderglass in the broken frames exploded. Oh how it felt good.

Outside it was getting dark. To her left was the body of Ryou Yimura. She walked over to him. "You won't hurt no one no more." She said in her small childish voice. The blackened blob, once head of the financial department and would do anything to get to the top, even murder, was burned to ashes by a little girl. Pireth spit in the ashes, just like she had seen in the television. "That's for my daddy, you big meanie." She smiled and turned around looking for her next victim. She spoted a group running towards her. They stopped in front of her. They consisted of some older kids: a blonde, and two brunettes. One looked like a girl with her long chesnut hair tied back.

"Hey kid, what happened? You alright?" The brunette asked. He placed a hand on her shoulder, only to recoil from the heat. "What the hell? What are you?"

"Better question: Who are you?" The blonde kneeled in front of the eight-year old.

"Ginji, I don't think that's a good idea."

"Like your's was, Shido?" Ginji said this never taking his eyes off the girl. "So who are you?"

"Pi...Pireth."(A/N: Sorry to interrupt, if you indeed are liking this fic, but Pireth is pronounced Pier-reth not Pie-reth. Just if you wanted to know.)

"Well, Pie, I'm Ginji. Ginji Amano. Leader of the Volts." Ginji knew by the way the girl was dressed she wasn't from around here. "Come on." He stood and extended his hand. "It's not safe for a little girl to be out on the streets." Pireth stared at his hand.

"I want mommy." She looked into his eyes and he could see she was crying. "I WANT MY MOMMY!" Ginji, Shido, and Kazuki were pushed back by a warm jet stream of air.

"Ginji, we should get out of here."

"For once I agree with Shido. She's too dangerous."

Ginji took a step closer, and Pireth backed up one.

"I want mommy. I want mommy. I want mommy." The flames grew more intense, but Ginji didn't back down.

"Listen, kid, your mom's not here now."

"No, no, no. I want mommy!" Ginji slapped her across the face, not without adding a little spark. The girl kneeled before Ginji, head down. "I want to go home."

"I'll help you, but you have to calm down first." Pireth stared at the blonde. She believed him. Heat was gone just as quickly as it came. Beads of sweat lined the boys' foreheads. Ginij put a hand on her shoulder and Pireth rested her head on his chest. She wanted to return to her family but she wanted to stay here...with Ginji. She thought, 'Ginji Amano,' and snuggled deeper into his warmth.

Please review. Your comments/critics would be appreciate all except ones on Pireth. She's my character and she's staying that way.
