Life After The Limitless Fortress Is Sucure
Ginji's Hair Cut
"But Ban I don't want a hair cut! You know I hate sharp things. Especially after
that encounter when we were hired to get back that platinum melon from the
transportation service. Akabane is really scary when he uses those things."
"Nonsense Ginji, you know as well as I do that the barber is not come crazed lunatic
that will try to hack your head off."
"Well Ban you never know what some people will do these days. It could be some
freak from the limitless that has escaped and wants revenge!"
"Don't be ridiculous! Even if some wacked fruit loop did escape Makubex has
cameras all over and I am sure he would notify us right away." Ban sighs "You
know what? If it makes you feel any better I will go inspect the place before you
come in okay? I will make sure the guy isn't weird or anything. You know I would
never purposely put you in danger unless I was mad or something."
"Yeah Ban I guess your right. Well okay, you go in and I will wait here. Come back
and if anything looks weird we are out of here."
"Okay Mr. Lightning Emperor!" Ban walks up the steps to the barber shop and
opens the door. He hears a gentle, light voice say "Come on in and I will be right
with you." Ban looks at the assistance counter and sees a beautiful young woman
standing there while talking on the phone. "Wow." Ban quietly muttered to himself.
"I'll be right back I have to run out to the car!" Ban ran out the door and knocked
on Ginji's window. "Ginji you have to get in there, I promise there is now creepy
guy. It's a beautiful young woman.
"Really Ban, I really don't care I just want to get as far away as possible as I can
from this place! Please can we go Ban?" Ginji said while turning into a chibi.
"Ginji, wether you like it or not we are going in there and you are getting your
damn hair cut. Now come here!" Ban grabbed Ginji by his hair and picked him up
through the window. Ginji turned back to his normal form and was dragged up the
stairs by Ban.
"Oh I see you're back sir. Oh and you brought a friend!" Said the young woman
cheerfully.
"Yes mam I did. And he is the one who is actually getting the hair cut!"
"No Ban please you can't! NO! I hate sharp stuff !
"Don't worry, this wont hurt a bit. If it makes you feel better I will use the scissors I
use on kids because they sometimes squirm."
About thirty minutes later the job was done. Ginji had his hair cut and Ban was
exhausted from having to hold him down and the Young woman was surprised at
how the twenty one year old man could put up a hissy fit like that. "Wow Ban, your
right that wasn't so bad after all!"
"Shut up Ginji!" Shouted Ban while attempting to hit him over the head with his
fist, his attempt was futile because Ban was too tired.
"Okay Mr. Midou is it? That will be ten thousand yen please."
"What! Ten thousand yen! Uh oh Ginji I don't have that much on me!"
"Hey aren't you those to recovery guys or something? Well if you want you can pay
me by doing a simple job!"
"Uh sure, what is it you need found?" questioned Ban.
"Well about a year ago my barber shop was broken into and my precious family
vase was stolen. It is a priceless family vase that has been passed down for years and
I need it back. I believe it was stolen by a group of thugs known as the alley rollers.
They call themselves that because they roll down alleys and listen to by passers.
Usually if they hear something interesting they will follow that person to the location
of the item and at night steal it. I believe there are four of them the leader is a
woman named Akanae. She is a master swordsman. Which I find rather odd
because it's not like we are in the feudal period or something weird like that. I
would watch out for her, one swift lash and you would get the chance to say hello to
your spleen and then keel over. The second in command is Marumi." All if a sudden
Ginji gets up and walks out the door.
"Don't worry he will be right back." Said Ban assumingly.
FLASHBACK
Ginji is a small boy around seven years old running down the slim alleys
surrounding the limitless fortress trying to find one of his friends because they are
playing hide and go seek. All of the sudden Ginji trips and falls. He gets up and
notices he has ripped his overalls and is bleeding. He wipes himself off and looks up.
There is a small girl standing there staring at him. "Hi my name is Marumi." Said
the small girl. "What's yours?"
"Oh um, my name is Ginji, Ginji Amano. Would you like to play hide and go seek
with us? You can be a seeker with me until we find the others and introduce you."
"Okay, let's go. Oh wait your bleeding, do you need a band aid? Here take this."
The young small girl takes a small orange band aid out of her pocket. Ginji takes it
and looks at it for a moment, there is some writing on it. It says For an important
friend . Ginji put it on his scrape and the two ran off to go find the others.
END OF FLASHBACK
"As I was saying Marumi is a knife expert and she is very fast. She will basicly put
herself in front of Akanae and kill any one who tries to hurt their leader. She will
also kill any one in their path. You should be extremely careful around her. The
other two are both young men. Natsuhito and Satumo. Natsuhito is the smartest of
the group. He plans all the heists and what they will do if they trip a wire or trap.
Satumo is the Braun, he has all the muscle. He can take out any guards just by
sneaking up on them. Oh that's right I didn't mention that he is also very quiet.
"Wow these guys sound pretty good. We will get right on it. Where are they
located?"
"They have a small ware house in an alley at the south side of the limitless fortress."
"Thanks miss, don't worry we will get your vase back. We have a 100 success
rate. Oh and by the way, what is your name?"
"I'm Hanaka Seiichi! By the way thank you so much!"
Ban nods and walks out the door. Ginji is just standing next to the car staring out
into no where. "Ginji!"
"Yeah Ban!"
"You okay?"
"Yeah Ban, sorry. …. I'm coming Marumi." Ginji says as he looks up at the sky.
About an hour later Ginji and Ban pull up to the outside of the location in their
small white bug. Ginji looks out the passenger side window into the alley. The four
gang members walk out of the alley and stare straight back at Ginji.
"What the hell do you want?" Said Marumi.
"We're here to pick up something that doesn't belong to you" Said Ban as he
stepped out of the car.
"Please Marumi just give us back the vase you guys stole."
"Why the hell should we?"
"Because we didn't want to fight you for it!" shouted Ban as he lashed out at
Akanae. All of a sudden Satumo hit Ban with a square blow right in the gut when
he turned around. "Ginji! Take care of Marumi and mind freak!"
"Right!"
Marumi lashes out at Ginji with one of her knives and missed due to Ginji dodging
it. Ginji grabs her by the arm and gives her a jolt to render her unconscious. "Ban!
Do you need help?"
"Hell yeah! Get your butt over here!"
Ginji runs over to help Ban and notices that Satumo is gone. All of a sudden Ginji
feels a sharp blow to the back of his head and falls over. Satumo is about kick
Ginji in the side when Ginji dodges and jumps up. Satumo tries once more to
strike Ginji in the gut. Ginji dodges and pulls his belt off so it raps around
Satumo's arm and send around one hundred volts of electricity through his belt
and into Satumo's body. Meanwhile Ban is fighting Akanae.
"Your pretty good Mr. Jagan Man!"
"Your pretty good yourself. You handle that sword like a real samurai would! Oh,
and by the way my name is Ban! Not Mr. Jagan Man!" He shouted as he lashed out
at Akanea with his snake bite.
"You should really just shut the hell up and focus on our fight before I slice you to
bits! Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you! It isn't smart to flirt with danger!" Akanea lashes
out with her sword once more and manages to make some contact. "See, I told you
to pay attention to the fight instead of focusing on flirting! By this rate, within
twenty seconds you'll be dead! Oh well that's the penalty for your actions. You
should have ran when you had the chance!"
"I was just about to say the same to you!" shouted Ban as he hit Akanae square in the face. "I
don't think I will have to worry about you for awhile! Hey Ginji, how you doin!"
"Not so good! Satumo is still comin after me. I already shocked him twice. If I use anymore
power I'm might do some serious damage!"
"Serious damage or not, we have to finish the job and soon! You keep Satumo busy! I'll go after
computer freak!"
"Will do Ban! Okay, let's see. Where did Satumo go?"
"Right here!" Satumo hit Ginji as hard as he could in the stomach. Ginji felt as though all of his
ribs were just broken. To his surprise they weren't and the strong blow just shook his body a
little.
"You're gunna regret that!" shouted Ginji as he held on to Satumo's arm as tightly as possible.
I don't care anymore! I gave you the chance to stop and think but I'm not feeling sorry anymore.
I don't care if this does hurt! Let's see how you feel after you've been shocked by twenty
thousand volts!" Shouted Ginji while rendering his next unfortunate victim unconscious.
Meanwhile, Ban is looking for Natsuhito and finds him hiding behind a garbage can shaking.
"Please don't hurt me! I wont get in your way." Stuttered Natsuhito.
"Fine just tell me were the vase is, if you don't you will regret it!"
"It's behind a garbage can on the right side of the warehouse."
Ban ran as fast as he could to the warehouse, grabbed the vase and began to run to the car. "Come
on Ginji, we have to go! Wait a minute! One, two, three! Hey won of them is missing as he counted
out all of there enemies. "Where the hell did Marumi go!"
"I don't know but we gotta move!"
"You're not going anywhere with our loot!" Shouted Marumi
"Please Marumi stop! I don't want you to get hurt."
"Why do you care and who are you anyway!"
"It's me Ginji! The first friend you ever had!"
"Ginji? It's really you?"
Out of no where comes Ban smacking Marumi on a pressure point in her neck. "Ban why did you don that!"
"I had no choice."
"Uh fine! Lets just go." Quickly Ginji runs over to Marumi and sets a small orange band aid
beside her on the ground. It says For an important friend .
Ban and Ginji arrive back at the hair salon and find Hanaka sitting at the counter worried. " Oh
my gosh you found it. How can I thank? Oh I know free hair cuts for the rest of your lives! Here
my card!" Hanaka hands the card to Ban and Ban looks at it. It says Mrs. Hanaka Seiichi's Hair
Salon. Call 1-834-769-8935. Ban whispers to Ginji, "I think she digs me."
"Ban take another look at that card. It says Mrs. I think you were a little to late."
"No is d- It does! No why!"
"What's that?" said Hanaka.
"Oh nothing. Say hi to your husband for me. Bye." They walk out of the salon.
"There, There, Ban there are other fish in the sea."
"Yeah I guess."
It's near the end of the day and Ban and Ginji return to the Honky Tonk. "Whats wrong Mr.
Ban? ……. No response huh. How bout I make you a cup of coffee in your favorite mug and some
sand whiches on the house.
"I guess."
"Wow what's wrong with Mr. Ban lately?"
