Dark Anty – Whatsup people, I'm Mychel, but you know me as Dark Anty (Either or is fine by me). This Fan Fic will be about an original couple people barely uses in such stories: Aisha Clanclan and Gene Starwind. I think this will prove most interesting with these characters and I hope you think so too. Therefore, without further ado, let's begin the show.

Chapter 1 – Starting a New – Pt.1

Another day with the Starwind & Hawking's crew as they busy themselves with menial tasks. Melfina was in the kitchen cooking dinner as always with the help of the Gilliam II helpers from the ship, bringing in ingredients for the dinner tonight. Suzuka sat in the living area, watching the news as she sips on her green tea for the day. Jim busied himself with the computer, searching for job openings him and Gene can take while they wait for their next job. Finally, we have Gene who lounges in his chair/bed on his platform.

The sun courses through the open blinds on to the pilot of the greatest ship known to the universe. His lightly tanned skin and short fiery red hair with his hard-sculpted body always gave him an exotic look many girls woo for. Surely, he had many fares, but now his time is only spent with his job, his ship, and his crew. Speaking of crew, Gene yawned, waking himself from a peaceful sleep and looking out to his side to see his crew, his family, doing the things they do best. As he looked around, he noticed one thing out of place.

Now where did that animal go? This is the sixth time out of two weeks she's been out of the shop. Not that he was concerned for Aisha's safety for she was powerful enough to take on a small army and win if need be. However, her absence has been bringing up stirs of questions as to where she could be going so early in the morning, when at times she's just as lazy as Gene, more so than usual on most occasions. Gene rose from his comfy chair and made his distant to the kitchen to see dinner in progress and a booty waiting to be pinched.

"Hehehehehe, (:-3)" Gene have always had a perverted mind when it came to women, Melfina being no exception. He carefully creep up behind her as if a lion stalking his lustrous prey. He wiggled his fingers, preparing for the grab, his hand coming closer to its target. -WHAM!- "AHH!" Gene grabbed the back of his head where a knot was forming and turned around, with an angered visage, toward a fully-grown Jim with his fist in front of him and smoke coming off it, his angry face put on as well. Melfina turned to see Gene and Jim in the kitchen, unaware of the act Gene was about to commit.

"Ara! Konnichiwa, Gene and Jim. Dinner will be ready in another hour, so be patient." Melfina spoke with a glowing smile that could melt the ice caps of Mt. Nyotai of Planet Tenrai. Gene smiled lecherously at Melfina as Jim gave a cheerful smile while scratching the back of his head.

"Ara, mochiron, Melfina. Me and Gene were just leaving." Jim spoke the last word through clenched teeth, making Gene growl with annoyance as they go into a 'Stare-n-Glare' contest, shooting lightning at each other to signify their challenge toward one another. Melfina turned back around to the two men she grew to love, acting like a bunch of ten year-old's.

"You guys still here? Go on now. Dinner will be ready soon." Breaking their challenge, they went back to the living area, Jim sitting next to Suzuka as Gene took his seat in his Lazy Boy.

"Oi, have any of you seen Aisha? Cat-girl's been missing for some time now."

"Ina, can't say that I have." Spoke Suzuka.

"I haven't a clue." Said Jim.

"Hmmmm. Where could she have gone?" Gene spoke to himself that time. As if on cue, the door opened and Aisha walked in. She placed the keys on the counter next to the door, ran up the stairs and went to her room, not speaking a word to anyone or going to the kitchen to take part of the food being cook. This disturbed Gene because for as long as he has known her now, she would be barging in with her loud mouth voice and go straight to the kitchen to eat as much food there was in the fridge. However, today was very different, very out of the ordinary, and so not like Aisha. In a way, he couldn't help but almost feel worried about the cat-girl. Almost.

"Aniki, do you think something's wrong with Aisha?" Jim asked.

"I'm sure it just a Ctarl-Ctarl thing. I wouldn't worry so much about her. Better yet, I wouldn't worry at all." Jim grunted at Gene's cold mannerism towards Aisha. Six years together and Gene still can't bring himself to respect Aisha as a person. It sadden him to think that Gene could still act this way towards her, forgetting the fact that she has saved his life numerous times and helped him in many jobs in the past.

"Gene, why do you keep treating Aisha like she's nothing but an animal to you?! What's wrong with you treating her like a good person that she is?!"

"Ano, the fact that she's part animal gives me right to say anything I want about her, so who cares…?"

"I DO! Gene…ugh…hmph…arrggh…-growl-…Why!? Why can't you see that she's more than a fuckin' animal to you?! She has been more of a person to all of us than you have in the whole time she's been with us! I'm tired of her always getting the short end of the stick when it comes from the people she cares about the most! Has it ever occurred to you that just because she can't be hurt physically, she's not hurting emotionally?! Why have her here if you don't give a damn about her?!?!?"

Wow! Jim was pissed! However, wouldn't you be when the person you care about and who cares about you the most is treated so coldly and badly. Jim has grown the love Aisha as a sister and she loves Jim as her little brother. They spend all their time together and have grown a great bond with each other. Jim, until now, has never said anything about Gene's attitude towards Aisha, but that didn't mean he didn't take it in.

Gene sat flabbergasted by Jim's outburst. For Jim to be this pissed would take his computer crashing on him. So much anger was radiating off him, it smothered the room and it occupants. Gene opened his mouth to speak, but no words left his lips. It was nearly a minute before Gene spoke out.

"Jim…c'mon…I know I act harsh towards Aisha, but that doesn't mean I don't care about her…"

"THEN WHY?! WHY DO YOU TREAT HER THIS WAY ANYWAY?! WHY CAN'T YOU BE A FRIEND TO HER FOR ONCE IN YOUR DAMN LIFE?!" That said Jim ran up the stairs and into his room, locking the door behind him. Gene stared where Jim stood and then looked towards Suzuka. She looked at him, shoke her head and left the room to the outside world.

Chikusho! Am I that bad towards her? Gene was now left with his thoughts in the slightly silent room, thinking over the times has he ever treated Aisha with such cruel intent. Melfina stood in the doors, hearing everything from Jim's outburst to the departure of everyone from the room except Gene. She felt sorry for Gene, but what Jim said was right, and she can't help but feel the same as everyone else.


Night fell and everyone was at the table except one certain feline. An hour passed before she finally came out of her room, her less-than-cheerful self than the original. She sat at the table and grabbed a plate next to her.

"Ookii! Now that everyone is here, let's all pray." Melfina announced. Everyone said their silent prays and their Amen's. Now everyone took in the delight sitting before them, a great feast indeed. Aisha reached for the Teriyaki squid when Gene snatched it from the table and her grasp. Aisha growled in frustration and yowled out towards him.

"-SLAM!- GENE! DID YOU NOT SEE ME REACHING FOR IT?!?!?" Aisha shouted as she slams the table, making the dishes fly mid-air. Gene munch down on the squid and looks at her without a care.

"Un. So what?" This would be the time that Aisha would blow her top off and make an illustrious speech about how the Ctarl-Ctarl have honor and respect, or something of that B.S.……But nothing came. Not a single word escaped her lips. She just looked down to her food and did nothing. This shocked everyone at the table. They would usually duck under the table when she acted out on pure rage, but now they see Aisha, sitting in her chair in complete silence and…crying?! Tears slides down her face, a sight never seen on Aisha! EVER!

"…Aisha?" Melfina called out to her, but was called back with her silence. Aisha pushed away from the table and rose from her seat.

"I'm not hungry anymore. Gomennasai (Excuse me)." She left the dining area and went straight to her room, closing the door silently. Jim looked at Gene with so much frustration that words couldn't describe how he felt. He looked down to his food and suddenly rose from the table, his chair flying back.

"Jim? What's wrong?" Melfina asked, shocked from sudden rush.

"I suddenly lost my appetite as well. I'm going to bed." That said, he stomped off to his room and slammed the door behind him. Now it was Gene, Melfina, and Suzuka who were left. They looked at him and he looked back.

"Kana?" He jaws was clenched, he annoyance radiating off him. They looked at him a little longer and continued eating. Gene felt a gnawing pain in his stomach and thought on going to bed earily, leaving a dropped chair and two confused women at the dining table as he walked up to the shower.


The moon shone brightly onto the building of sleeping people, its beams hitting softly on a troubled-minded pilot name Gene Starwind. He sat there, his stomach doing flips and twists as he replayed tonight's dinner in his head. He felt like a horse's ass, filled with shit and constipated. He couldn't believe what happened at the table. If he was another person, he still couldn't believe it. For the first time since they been together, he has seen Aisha cry…and he was the cause of her tears. Never did he think that his actions or words would hurt her in any way, but now that he thought about it, he would be mad at himself too for treating Aisha so cruelly all this time.

"Dammit! -Sigh- What have I done?" The million-dollar question that ever poor, wrongdoing fool has asked themselves. They know what they did and yet they still ask that same idiotic question, so let's enlighten him, shall we? Over the past six years, Gene has treated Aisha with nothing but harsh words and cruel acts. Through the time of bounty hunting jobs, Aisha has saved his ass more times than he could count from near-death experiences and he barely says 'Thank you' to her. He calls her an animal, beast, and never treated her anything more. Yet, with all the time he has treated her so badly, she still stayed.

Why? Another question he asks himself. Why does she put up with his ass? She could have easily gone home now that her planet finally decided to take her back. But here she stayed, on Sentinel III, in Locust, as part of the crew of the Outlaw Star and as part of the family that has been created with that crew. Therefore, the more he thought about it, the more he wished he would just crawl into a cave and die.

Yeah, that's Gene for ya.


Morning rose. Gene was awakening, as were everyone else who were to wake up and leave their rooms soon. The first was…Aisha! Gene was in shock! Not that she have woken up before everyone else, but that she was a stunning beauty in the morning light. She came out of her room and faced the window, unaware that Gene would be awake before her, in a elegant and sexy red short set sleepwear, a cami top that snuggled her lavishing curves with pure meaning in it appearance and short shorts that showed a fine small portion of her well-defined ass that Gene can tell she put effort and hard work into getting it that way, her long soft tail curving over her large portioned booty and waving lazily onto the floor below her. Her hair, usually wild and spiky, was actually straight and silken, thick with life and flowing from her head to a foot from the floor as if an ivory waterfall, and up until now, Gene have never noticed how beautiful and glowing her dark skin truly looked, the beams from the sun radiating it glory on the cat-like beauty to make her shine as if a golden idol as her deep viridian green eyes looked out to the world glowing wonderously underneath the galaxy's largest star. Gene was truly amazed at her beauty, but what truly hooked him onto her was her well sculpted body.

Her curves were simply perfect with breast deifinition that supremely ruled over Melfina's large bust size, and her hips were near pefect alignment with her shoulders and bust, her hips slightly much wider than her breasts, but that simply made her a turn-on for Gene and a good canidate to bearing a child with her wide hips. Her arms, legs, and abs were perfectly built and sculpted with muscles, flexing underneath her beautiful taunt skin as she moved with single motions at a time, her actions and movements bringing some serious heat to Gene's overzealous sexually-driven body, which in truth shocked him even more for he never considered Aisha as a sexual partner, but after the sexy and powerful display she brought before him, maybe he should change his way of thinking of her from now on. Sitting up ever so slowly, Gene turned over to the side facing Aisha and finally let his presence be known.

"I'm surprise to see you up early."

"-Gasp!-" Aisha turned with a slight jump. Gene looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Oya, Gene. I thought you were still asleep?" He knew that much which would explain her slight jumpiness, so he let it pass, but what he couldn't let pass was her voice. The years have changed the crew quite a lot.

What he noticed most about Aisha was that she definitely grew over the past several years, her height now measuring up to 5'8, a supermodels height and she definitely fit the bill for the profession. What he also noticed was that her voice suddenly changed as well. That alone surprised him for when she now speaks, she didn't have the high-pitched gruff sound to her anymore, but a more mature, smoother, deeper, and dare he say sexier tone to herself. Why he barely took notice to this before, he will never know and should royally kick himself in the ass one day for now of the changes she went through, he can honestly see how tolerable she have become along with how gorgeous her body have grown, his eyes finally seeing her amazing assets instead of seeing the many faults he deeply believed she had before.

However, Gene was not the only one with wandering eyes and deep thoughts as Aisha had many things to say about Gene's appearance as well. At first, she couldn't stand him, even to a point where she could have killed him if she saw fit to do so, but now as she looked at him, what she can definitely say about him was that he was absolutely a drop-dead-gorgeous man with his exotic features and perfectly sculpted body that Gene have built to last in any situation, may it be a battle on the field, or a battle in the bedroom from the many stories and activities that Jim have told Aisha about Gene. Hearing such racy details of the aftermath of his late night flings really brought a burning flame into Aisha's heart. She quickly noticed his handsome face, golden tan, young, passionate, fierce, and at times very charismatic with fiery red ear-length hair and steely gray eyes that held passion, mischievousness, lust, power, and honor with a big dose of almighty bad ass. She admired how true and honest his eyes were, even though his full luscious lips tends to say things otherwise.

She took quick and subtle glances at his golden tan body bulging with muscles in his forearms, biceps, triceps, deltoids, teres majors, and torso where his pecs, boxer's muscles and eight-pack abs were truly defined, lean and trimmed as a runner's body should be as: a body with a great physique and major potential. Aisha's mind with in jubilation of the sight her eyes were feasting upon and the slight twitch of her ears signified how joyous she really was. Shockingly to herself, Aisha had even dreamed of being held close to Gene's battle scarred body, dreaming so vividly of running her hands over his body, her fingers rubbing and running over each dip, curve, bump, and ridge Gene's body have built over so many years, even caressing and kissing his scars that never faded away, leaving a hurt and painful memory of the day they were placed on his person. Many of times, she wished for a way to remove those painful scars, take away those hurtful memories, and maybe Gene wouldn't feel the need to put up a guard or feel the need to do things on his own, and for once trust someone other than a hooker to get so close to him.

For a while, they looked at each other, not speaking any other word than the ones they said before, but the silence was too much and so Aisha went back to watching the sun rise, looking down to see a few people walking along the sidewalks with either a lover, a friend, or a loved one, and even times with groceries in their arms. Watching her suddenly turn from him feel dejected, making him realize that last night's have not been passed over Aisha's mind, leaving him with the need to say something so that if anything, they can go back on some level of good terms. Taking a deep breath, he finally spoke, saying the words he had practiced in his mind many times over.

"Ashikarazu (I'm sorry), Aisha…for what happened last night. I didn't mean to hurt you."

Aisha was clearly surprised by his apologize, though she kept her gaze towards the outside world.

"…It's…It's okay. I'm fine now. Everything's cool."

Silence passed by once again, but only for a little while. Gene stood up and walked over to Aisha, standing closely beside her. He gives her a side-glance, looking her body up and down, detailing every curve and dip upon her, and then he sighed and looked out the window towards the buildings.

"Anna, Aisha, care to tell me where you have been going to for the past two weeks?" Another surprising moment from Gene, but Aisha kept her cool as she answered.

"Ina…Not yet anyway."

"…You know Jim has been a bit worried about you." Though he wouldn't admit it, he was now worried himself.

"Hmm. It's just like him to worry about others more than himself. You can tell Jim that it's nothing. Just small errands I'm running for myself."

"Oya? What kind?"

"Like I said: I can't tell you just yet."

"…-Sigh- Yoi, I'll buy that. Demo, I just want to know if what you are doing will put you danger?" Gene spoke in a more serious tone. A tone not used by him so often. Aisha turned her head to Gene, quite shocked that he would care, much less want to know. He looked at her, and she smiled. Gene gulped and quickly turned to the window.

"N-not that I care, it's just…um…Jim is worried aaaaaaaand he doesn't want you hurt. That's all." He spoke quickly, his voice went to a mid-high pitch, knowing he sound nervous toward Aisha. He side-glanced again to see her still smiling and humphing at him. Her smile was very genuine and very beautiful, a smile his never seen before and he liked it very much. She then looks back outside to the world in front of her.

"Iie, nothing of the sort. Just small errands."

"Hmmm. Then I guess you're ok."

"…Un," Aisha turned toward the stairs to head for the kitchen, leaving Gene with the window in front of him. Gene was caught by surprise when he felt the lips of a woman kissing his cheek. He turned to see Aisha, beaming a great smile as she hugged him tight to her and leaned toward his ear.

"Domo arigato for caring so such, Gene. You're a good friend." She kissed his neck, pulled back and kissed his cheek once more before heading toward the kitchen, blushing and not believing what she just did, and leaving Gene completely dazed and blushing himself! To say he was shock would be a high understatement. He was beyond words of how he felt, but two things were clear: confusion and happiness. Confused about Aisha actions and emotional act, but happy that she forgave him and was able to do that so openly, but never would he thought she would be THAT open to him. He somewhat wished it could last.

As he continued he stare toward the kitchen, another door opened and out came Jim with his long messy blond hair, muscle shirt and boxers on. He yawned, little tears at the side of his eyes, and scratched the side of his stomach. He looked around, then spotted Gene. His grumpy face just went to a new level of grumpy and walked downstairs to the kitchen and meet, to his surprise, Aisha scurrying for food if nothing else. But what shocked him most was a beautiful sexy rump staring right back at him and a beauty that was definitely Aisha standing in the kitchen, searching the cabinets for food of any kind. He wanted to keep his gaze on the Ctarl-Ctarl he grew to love as a sister, but made the biggest mistake of his life…he spoke.

"Aisha? You're up early?" He made it sound so questionable, but he did want to know what could wake Aisha so early in the morning. When Aisha turned to him and smiled brightly, which made him take back his regret as seeing the front was ten-times better than the back.

"Oi, Jimmy. Just wanting something to eat, that's all. Then maybe I could cook you guys' breakfast." This really threw Jim off. Aisha? Offering to cook breakfast? And wearing sexy red sleepwear to boot? What is going on? Did he just step into the Twilight Zone or something? He shoke his head and beamed at Aisha with a worried look.

"Ummm, Aneki, I don't think you should cook breakfast for us. Remember the last time you cook for us?" (Episode 15 – The Seven Emerge) ('Aneki' means 'Elder sister' like 'Aniki' means 'Elder brother')

"Yoi, yoi (Ok, ok), so Suzu-chan got a little sick off my cooking, but I'm not cooking my home meals. I'm cooking yours."

"Huh?"

"You know: Pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs, biscuits, bacon, fresh fruits—the basic food you Terrans eat."

"Ara! Demo, how did you know how to cook our food?"

"Melfina,"

"Oyaaaa," That's all he needed to hear since Aisha and Melfina do spend more time with each other then they do with the others. He sat in the kitchen, observing what Aisha has picked up from Melfina and was surprised with the results. Aisha was cooking like a pro, doing everything that Melfina taught and coming up with the best results. Now what took place of an empty kitchen were mile high pancakes, a platter of sausage and bacon, fresh baked biscuits, and chopped assorted fruits, fresh from the market.

"Wau, Aneki, this looks amazing!"

"Ookii! Part 1 is finished. Now for part 2." That said she placed three pancakes with bacon and sausage in front of Jim with maple syrup on the side. He pours the syrup, cuts and takes a bite out of the pancake.

"Woow-weee! This is awesome!"

"What's awesome?" They turned to see Melfina walk in with Suzuka and Gene.

"You guys! You have to try this! Aisha's cooking is as just good as Melfina's!"

"Ittai?" Melfina took a biscuit and took a bite.

"Mmmmm, -Giggle-. Wau, Aisha, this is wonderful! It soft, flaky, and buttery. Also sweet. I love it!" Melfina praised Aisha on her fine work.

"Domo arigato, Mel-Mel. It means a lot coming from you."

"Douitashimashite (You're welcome)," Melfina sat at the table and fixed her plate, eating along side Jim. Suzuka however was a little skeptic about eating anything Aisha cooks, but seeing the reaction everyone was getting, she couldn't help but try to indulge in the food in front of her. Gene sat last and fixed his plate. Aisha brought back juices and cups for everyone to take and sat at the head of the table. Everyone was eating in silence, except the occasional 'Mmm's' and 'Yum's'. After breakfast, they thanked Aisha and went back to their rooms for their daily showers. Gene stayed at the table to help clean up, which shocked Aisha, considering that he barely helped around the house, but she was happy to take his help.

The food was put up and now it was left with Aisha to wash the dishes. She reached for the dishwashing detergent, but was stopped by Gene's hand on hers.

"How about I wash the dishes for you? You must be tried from all the cooking." Gene beamed a smile at her, acting polite and considerate which blew her mind out of the waters!

"You don't have to. I'm fine. I can do this myself." Aisha tried to sound cheerful but sounded a little nervous. Wouldn't you when the guy who hasn't treated you much like a person act's like a totally different human being? Gene could sense her nervousness, so he did something he thought would calm her down, but the results was the slight opposite.

Aisha was really in shock when she felt Gene's lips in her forehead, holding her head close to his lips. He let go and looked down to a shocked, blushing Aisha, which made her look very adorable in his eyes.

"I insist," Gene moved her to the side and started the running warm water.

"Y-Y-Yoi, Gene. Arigato," Aisha was halfway through the doorway but stopped, her hand on the door frame.

"…Gene…please don't change. You don't have to treat me so kindly because of what happened last night." The water stopped running and then there was silence.

"For everything that I done to you before…Hai…I do." Gene spoke in a low tenor's voice. That said Gene began washing the dishes, hearing the cat-girl leave off to her room, as he stood in the room alone once more.


Aisha had so many feelings rushing through her body: Fear, happiness, confusion, joy, shocked, amazed. So many rushing to her at once and she almost felt faint from it all. Gene kissed her. Gene actually placed his lips on her person and treated her, as she was a…a person. She was completely overjoyed with it, yet somewhat sad because all good things must come to an end, and she knows that it won't last. Even so, she's still happy that it happened.

Who would have guessed that the man that she loved would treat her so nicely.


To be continued…


Dark Anty – So? What do you think? Good, huh? Well, don't worry. More to come soon.

Aisha – Yay! A love story starring me! How cool is that?!

Gene – Oi! I'm in it too!

Aisha – Yeah, but Anty likes me better than you.

Dark Anty – Yeaaahhh, she does have a point.

Gene - -Grumbles- Damn women.

Melfina – Send reviews!

Jim – No flames, please!
