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?"
