GB: Girls

Chapter 1

It was just an ordinary day in Shinjuku. People are either walking or running to work or just hanging about anywhere. We can see children playing, schoolgirls laughing, cats yawning, couples kissing, but enough about that,'k? Now, let's peer inside that little shop around that corner. . . no, not the one on the left, back up a little. A little more, that's right there. There. Now, let's look inside the place called Honky Tonk. . .

Natsumi sighed as she continues to polish the already clean plate she's holding. It's been a while, she thought to herself. Three days ago, Ban-san and Gin-chan received a great job from Hevn-san ("No Freakin' way!!!!" Ban- san vehemently tried to refuse the request). The mission was something about lost cats or something, and they have to go to the mountains just to finish the job. Happy that they have a new job, however, the young waitress can't help but miss them, especially the happy-go-lucky blonde.

"Sempai? Is something wrong?"

Natsumi snapped away from her thoughts, and turned to the girl beside her. Rena Sendou is a fourteen- year old girl who has short hair and nice eyes. She used to hate adults but now she serves them coffee. Sadly, she her coffee skills are not that good (she nearly killed Ban once) but she's really trying.

"Oh, nothing, Rena-chan. It's just that the guys haven't been in here for 3 days and I miss them. . ."

"Don't worry about them, Natsumi," Paul put down his newspaper, "At least, they are working for a change instead of staying here and build up their tab."

"You're right, master. Oh, welcome!" the bell suddenly rang, signaling a customer. A very elegantly dressed man, around 40, came in and looked around the coffee shop.

"May we help you, sir?" Rena asked the man.

"I'm looking for the GetBackers."

"I'm sorry, but they're not available right now." Paul answered, "They won't be here for awhile so. . ."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO . . .!!"

The man fell to his knees and bawled like a great baby, much to the surprise of Paul and the girls. Natsumi made coffee while Rena and Master helped the man up. They brought him to the table. Natsumi serve the bitter beverage and sat down across the man.

"Sir, would you like to tell us what's wrong?" the girl asked carefully.

The man took a few minutes to steady himself before speaking. "I am Mr. Matsuda and I own an antique shop here in Shinjuku."

"An antique shop?"

"Yes, and we have very rare items that can't be found anywhere else in the world. However, there's one thing I can never sell. . . ." Matsuda-san pulled a photograph from his pocket and gave it to Natsumi. Rena sat beside her sempai while looking at the picture. The girls gasped.

"H-how lovely. . ." stammered Natsumi

"Sugoi. . ." Rena blushed

It was a picture of a porcelain doll, dressed in a long, white, frilly dress with puffy sleeves and a pink ribbon on her head. Her curly hair was black and shiny and her eyes are almost the exact shade of Ban's eyes; looking at them makes you wonder if you are dreaming. The doll's smile rivals that of Mona Lisa. Most of all, it looked extremely valuable.

"Is she not a beauty?" Matsuda-san smiled at the girls expressions, "This was my late daughter's doll, her last birthday present. I have no intentions of selling this doll but I Display it in the shop to remember my Aki by. . ."

Rena sniffed while Natsumi wiped her tears away.

"A few days ago, a trio of strange fellows came in and wanted to buy the doll. I refused, of course, since it is the only thing I have left of my Aki. They tied to bribe and threatened me but I was firm. Last night, however, I discovered that someone broke into the shop! I checked if anything was missing. None of the items were stolen or broken, but when I looked where the doll should be, it was gone." Mr. Matsuda broke down in tears. "I must have that doll back, I must. . . I must!"

Natsumi looked at Matsuda-san then turned to Rena. Rena also has the same look on her face. Both girls stood up and nodded at each other with fierce determination in their eyes.

"Don't Worry, Matsuda-san. GetBackers Natsumi Mizuki . . ."

"And Rena Sendou. . ."

"Accept this request!" the girls ended the speech at the same time.

Matsuda-san looked at them, stunned but not as stunned as Paul. Paul Wan spat his cigarette and looked at his protégés.

"Are you two out of your minds?!"

The girls were already out of their aprons, and were almost out of the door.

"Don't worry, Master!" Natsumi made a V- sign.

"We can do this, you'll see!!" Rena smiled at their boss.

"That's not what. . ." the door closed before Paul could say more. Mr. Matsuda looked at the red-haired man. "Are those girls really retrievers?"

"A-ah. . .well, you see. . .it's. . ."

The poor man tried to explain, utterly failing. All he could do now was worry about what those two will do next. . .

What do you think? It's not that good but I need to write this (sweatdrop)

Pls. Review! Chapter 2 will put up soon. . .

Pinoy Ako, by the way.
