Akemi: Princess of Bandits
Chapter 1: Pass the Diamond
Disclaimer: I own no characters or concepts from King of Bandit Jing, but I do own Akemi. But for the most part, a fanfiction is just that therefore most of the concepts are not mine. Meh.
A/N: wondering why she has the compulsion to write author notes so much Hmmmm...well, what is there to say? Jing is also a concept I am slighlty new to. Not quite as new as Shaman King so any mistakes I make in this are purely stupidity on my part.
Enjoy!

She was doing a job in the big city. She, like Jing, was going for the biggest fucking valuable in the place.
Obviously, they ended up going after the same thing. Several conflicts are produced from this.
"Hey, no way. I'm stealing this diamond!" the king of bandits said when he saw that someone else was already there before him.
That someone was a beautiful young girl who seemed to be 15 in appearance. She was short and fragile wearing a short, black skirt with net tights and black metal enforced combat boots. A net shirt was over a loose, black tank and arm warmers. Her hair was a deep plum colour with several layers and split ends, her skin silvery as a midnight moon.
"Oh wait, Jing! Hey gorgeous! If you go on a hot date with little ol' me, we'll give you the diamond with absolutely no problems," Kir said in his usual flirt fashion every time he laid eyes on a beautiful woman.
She sent them both a death glare before backflipping off a wall and grabbing the diamond hanging from a chain above their heads, "Tough luck suckers!"
And with that, she ran off as the place began to break apart and guards ran in after them.
"Ahhh! JING! GET HER!" Kir flapped his wings vigourously.
"I'm on it!" Jing yelled as he ran as fast as he could to keep up with the girl.
She dived over the cliff down into the city ahead and waved and grinned on the way down.
"Kir, you know what to do!"
"Way ahead of ya!" Kir latched onto Jing's collar and flew swiftly after the girl.
"YOU AIN'T GETTING AWAY THAT EASILY!" Jing yelled and laughed. He was having a quite a fun time on this chase.
On the way down, she pulled out her gun and shot at them. When it was time, she held out her hand grabbing a horizontal flag pole, flipping and landing on her feet on a rooftop. Her grin widened, "Really? I beg to differ!" She shot the flag pole breaking it down, grabbed it and swung at them.
"Ah shit. Kir, EVADE!"
She skimmed one of Kir's wings, but he flew faster and got right in her face, "I believe you have somehing of my friend's!" He took the diamond in his talons and flew off.
"AGH! You damn bird!" She shot out the right wing and fell over the side of the building while catching the diamond in mid air.
"Damn it! She got away with the diamond!" Kir mourned over his wounded wing.
"Eh...calm down, Kir," Jing pulled the diamond from his pocket as Kir was about to disagree, "We'd better get a move on though. If she's as good as I think, she'll find out very quite and catch on to our trail..."
Just as he finished the sentence, a bullet pierced the right side of his chest, "Thank you...King of Bandits!" she grabbed the diamond back.
"Ahh! Damn it! She must've hung over the edge waiting for me to confess! Kir! NOW!" though they were both wounded, the bandit king and Kir used the last of their energy to blast her and catch the diamond.
"Yeah! We got ...it..." Jing stared down at the girl unconscious and bleeding severly on the ground. It was pretty amazing that she survived it. He sighed, "Alright , lets take her to a hospital. Damn conscience..."
Kir looked at him as if he were crazy, "Are yo serious? Just leave her! Especially after what she just did!" He was trying to bandage his wing with his bandanna.
"We're taking her and that's all."

Later after taking the girl to the hospital, they decided to go to a bar to grab a bite to eat. As they entered they could hear people pointing at them and commenting on how he almost killed the "princess of bandits".
"Geez, you'd think a funeral happened...well lets get that food, I'm starving after that exciting chase!" Jing laughed as his stomach made the usual hungry noise it did when he hadn't eated in days.
A huge man stepped out in front of them before they could make it to their food. He was a giant! He crossed his arms and glared down at him, "I believe you have something that doesn't belong to you..."
Jing smiled big, "Hehehe. Well sir, no I'm sorry you must be mistaken," he began to walk past him.
The giant grabbed him by the collar and lifted him so they were face to face effortlessly. He shooks him forcefully and the diamond fell into his hand. Then, he threw Jing through the bar and left quickly.
"Who the hell was that guy!" Jing growled as Kir fused with his hand, "Bingo! KIR ROYALE!"
The giant ducked down out of the way just in time and then got up and ran into the building across the street.
The almost blew up the whole bar with the Kir Royale. The Manager wasn't too happy with that and threw them out, "Damnit! What's so important about that thing anyway? Well in any case, I want it!" Jing followed the giant man silently
Deep into the building, Jing found the man presenting the wounded girl Jing fought earlier with the diamond. She took it and smiled at him, "Thank you Balford..." her voice was cracking because the blow had centered on her neck and chest. Now she was only wearing baggy bondage pants while most of her upper torso was covered in a thick layer of bandages tinted red from the blood. Jing was amazed at the almost full recovery!
Balford bowed, "You're very welcome, Akemi-hime."
"Akemi" dropped it into her pocket and tried to stretch her arm but ended up cringing in pain, "Agh...that damn man...he must be the one they're all calling the King..."
Jing was becoming impatient with this game of keep away, "Okey Kir, try and aim for the big guy's legs and her side there...got it?"
"Easier said than done, but here goes nothin..." he fired out of now where and managed to temporarily paralyze the man from the waist down. Akemi jumped out of the way in time but the diamond flew out of her pocket.
"Hah! Got it!" Jing ran back through the hallway as quick as possible.
Akemi ran after him, slower than before due to her injuries, but still effective, "Why is this thing so important to you? Jing! King of Bandits! Am I mistaken?"
They stopped in a messy, filthy living room and faced one another, "Heh, maybe," He took out his blade, "Here i come! Kir get ready! he threw the diamond to her and he caught it with slight difficulty, "You know where to meet!" And with that, Kir flew through one of the windows.
Akemi grabbed the arm with the blade and held her own dagger to his neck, "Now you know I can't let you leave, right?"
"Heh and you know I don't go down easily!" He "teleported" behind her and put his blade at the back of her neck, "I don't wanna...well, okey maybe I do wanna kill you, but I don't have time for that," he ran.
"Nice Kir! Now, while she's playng sherlock and thinking she's smart trying to find us, we'll slip out the "back way". C'mon, how's your wing?"
Kir flapped the newly bandaged wing that was healing quickly, "As ready as it can be right now. Let's get the hell out of here!"
Akemi saw them flying through the clouds trying to escape out of the city and grinned, "They're pretty dumb for taking the sky route...Hah!" She shot into the air as she did flips up to the rooftops and jumped up high enough to grab Jing's ankle.
Jing's eyes widened and he stared in shock down at her, "WHA...? Damnit! She's...not that bad. "Persistant son-of-a...Kir get ready to blast over there,"He pulledo ut his blade again and cut her hand.
"KIR ROYALE!"
"AGH! YOU IDIOT! NOW WE'RE ALL GOING TO..." she almost dropped, but held on, then blasted Jing with her gun in the floot by accident causing them all to fall to the ground. Akemi landed on Jing and then Kir on top of them both. Kir jumped up and whined about his wounded wing while the other two slowly pushed away from each other.
"OW! Damnit!" Akemi held her side in pain.
Jing, being the lucky one of the group, was fine and ready to have his questions answered, "So, what's with this diamond, do you know?" he held it out in front of them.
Kir yelled disapprovingly, "What're you doing? Let's get the hell out of here now!"
"Kir, relax. Get your energy back...we'll need it..."
"Hand it over and then I'll tell you!"
Jing sighed and hit her gun away from her before she could get the idea to grab it and use it on him, and then pinned her down with her hands behind her back, "Now, you will tell me the importance and then i'll give it to you! Happy?"
She glared down at the ground and gave in, "It's rightfully mine...that's the importance..."
"Oh really, and how do I know that?"
She rolled her eyes, "Flip it to the side with the engravement on it."
He did so and when he held it up to the light he could make out a single sentence, "With love, my Akemi." He was surprised at first and then nodded, "Oh, okey...here catch," He threw it to her begrudgingly, "Well, for what it's worth, it was a fun chase...have to do it again sometime..."
"Obviously, my name is Akemi. I'm the princess of bandits," she smirked at him through her messed hair, "And I see why they call you the King."
"Yeah, but I think I'm gonna have the worst back pains ever..." he tried to crack his back to make it feel better, but it wasn't working.
"Heh, I could counter that pain easily..." Her smirk widened, "For a price."
"Nah...it'll heal...hopefully. Thanks anyway!"
"So, now that we're all good...how's about you and me go on a romantic date," He winked at her.
Jing laughed, "Back to liking her again, eh?"
Akemi moved away from Kir, "Sorry, I don't date outside of my species...and besides. I've never dated before, I'd end up just stealing your money and killing you," she casually replaced a round of bullets.
"Hmm, well, let's go Kir. I'm still starving," Kir flew onto his shoulder and Jing smiled over his shoulder at her, "Later Akemi, princess of bandits."
Akemi returned the smile, "Farewell...Jing King of Bandits," She bowed to him and he walked away.
