A/N: Yea, yea I know I'm hopeless --;; Well what inspired this fic you ask? Why the ever interesting anime Cowboy Bebop!! But it's not a crossover. I'm gonna incorporate various titles like Tenchi Muyo in it too! So I'm deleting Mimi Muyo because well…I don't like it ^^;; and this will have Tenchi concepts in it anyway ^^;;

"Space...the final frontier."



Who am I you ask? Just an everyday nobody, people have gotten into a habit of calling Yamato Ishida. I'm a Bounty Hunter.



**Zoom to a fluffy headed man, trying to operate a blender**



That over there is my partner and associate Taichi Yagami. He may not be the brightest guy in the cosmos but he's good with his trigger and can knock a can off a fence from 20 yards away. Yea...he's all right.



Right now we're floating our way through space, in the fourth quadrant to Jupiter. How you ask? Our ship called the Digimon. Sure it's a piece of junk but it gets us to where we want to go. Plus it was cheap.



"Hey Yamato!!" scowling, Taichi wiped strawberry cream off his face and dumped the appliance into the garbage, "How many more hours?"



"Huh?" drifting out of his reverie, Yamato checked the controls, "Two hours."



"Good, then I have time for a shower. Who's the bounty head this time again?"



"They call her Lady Luck because no one has ever been able to catch her."



"The Lady Luck? The legendary Bounty Hunter? You have to be kidding! She'd be over a thousand years old if that were true! Plus she's just a fairytale people tell little kids."



"May be but this little lady has seemed to have turned over a new leaf. Instead of catching outlaws, she became one. She's been breaking into various government areas and records, taking information. The heads want her big time, she's worth 500,000 million, dead or alive."



"Sheesh, do we have a photo?"



"No, that's the problem, no one has ever seen her. We don't know if she's even a woman! Only that her code name is Lady Luck."



Leaning against his chair, Yamato sighed, "It will be almost impossible to catch her...but we need the money."



"Damn..." Taichi looked out the window, into a vast pit of nothingness, "And her last signal was traced to Jupiter...it's like finding a needle in a haystack."



*****



"Man it's cold here!!" Taichi cursed, pulling his jacket tighter around himself, "We've been to every bar and computer cafe on this fricken planet! No one has any information!!"



Blowing cold air from his lungs, Yamato snorted, "We have to keep looking. It's not called bounty 'hunters' because criminals just fall into our hands."



"Hey girly, you looking for a good time?"



A burly man grabbed a young woman's arm with a sneer; "I'll even pay ya for your services."



The women tossed him a disgusted look before jerking her hand back with a smirk, "I'm afraid I'm out of your league...you couldn't get me in a thousand years sleaze ball!"



"Why you bitch!!" bringing out a knife, the man charged at her, "I'll show you sleaze!!"



"Hey!" Outraged at the display, Taichi was about to intervene when he stopped dead in his tracks.



Pulling out a gun from seemingly nowhere, the young women smiled wickedly, shoving it under the attackers chin, "Run away little man...you don't know with whom you're messing with."



She gave the gun another harsh shove, before letting off. Stumbling back, fear in his eyes, the man ran away leaving the woman to watch him go in amusement.



She then flicked her auburn hair, tossing it over her shoulders and looked directly at the two stunned bounty hunters. Winking, she sauntered away without another word.



Her figure almost out of sight, Yamato whistled, "Tough chick."



*****



"Yo," Taichi greeted, sitting at the bar, "Any suspicious idiots yet?"



Sipping his wine, Yamato shrugged," Just a bunch of rich snobs showing off their expensive cleavage and eating 2,000 dollar crackers."



The two men were situated in the Rime L' carat, a pricey establishment on one of Jupiter's moons. Taking a swig of his own beverage Taichi sighed loudly, "Come on! I thought our info told us Lady Luck was gonna break into that Gov. safe upstairs? I mean that's why there are so many trench coats hanging around right…?"



"Shh!!" Yamato scowled at him, "Shut up! You want us to get caught?"



Smiling innocently as a soldier walked by them, he continued to whisper hoarsely, "I know it's boring but keep your eyes open! Any one of these prisses could be L.L."



"Is this seat taken?" a sultry voice questioned from behind them.



Turning around the two men were about to answer yes, when their eyes widened in shock. Standing in front of them, dressed in an elegant white satin dress, the women from earlier smiled, "I knew I recognized you boys. You two were the ones who got a free show yes?"



The first to regain his composure, Yamato coughed, "If I wasn't mistaken I would think you were following us."



Taking his glass he saluted her, with a crooked smile, "Cheers to a beautiful women, who has graced us with her presence."



Her smile growing, the woman sat down, "Charmer. So tell me why two fine men such as yourselves are here unaccompanied? Let alone here at all."



She frowned disdainfully at one of the passing CIA, catching Yamato's attention. Watching them with a blush, Taichi tried to get into the conversation, "I remember you sure scared that guy earlier! Where the hell did you pull that gun from so quickly? You must be a super fast or something!"



Stiffening at his comment, the women forced another smile, "You're funny! I'm just a simple girl, trying to make a living in today's harsh society. By the way, my name is Mimi."



"Taichi Yagami."



"Yamato Ishida."



"Well, well! Aren't you two open! Didn't you boys know it isn't safe to tell people your whole name in this sector? Fraud and all."



Grinning curiously, Yamato asked, "So will you honor us with your full name? Aside from the dangers."



"Hmm," she gave them another devilish smile, "maybe…if I still like you by the end of the night."



"I'll wait with bated breath."



Fierce electricity passed between their gazes and even Taichi noticed the intensity of their conversation. But it wasn't of love. More like rivalry and the thrill of an enemy.



Staring, Taichi ordered another drink, 'I hope he doesn't kill her or something…she's a cute one.'



*****



The night went on and soon it was almost time to put her plans into action. She had the brunette under her control but the blonde one...he was interesting. She couldn't figure out what he was thinking, for the life of her!



What made him so mysterious? Looking at him he was just another attractive man but the universe was full of those. His eyes were what set him apart, those deep blue orbs.



'Like an ocean,' she mused, taking another sip of her wine, 'But I won't drown.'



Setting her glass down, she stood up, extending her hand, "Yamato, you haven't danced one dance with me yet! Taichi has already five times and I'm sure he's wiped out!"



Taichi was about to protest but Yamato stopped by taking up her offer, "You're right Mimi. I haven't yet, have I? And this night just wouldn't be complete without a waltz with a beautiful lady."



"You are one of a kind Mr. Ishida."



They took off to the dance floor, leaving Taichi to scan the area bored. What was he supposed to do now? Wondering what Yamato did when he was gone, a cloaked figure suddenly caught Taichi's attention.



Following the man with his eyes, he jumped, hearing gunshots erupt through the crowd. Men in black suits stormed into the room firing into the air, "Everyone quite! The Dark Dragons are here and you will all follow our orders!"



Screams echoed through the hall and Taichi cursed, bringing out his gun, "What a time for the Dark Dragons to show up! Yamato where are you?!"



Escaping from the chaos around them, Mimi had pulled Yamato and herself into a secluded area. Breathing heavily, she leaned against him, trying to hide from the mafia men.



Also breathing deeply, Yamato brought his gun out of its holster. Making sure the coast was clear; he was about to go back up Taichi, when Mimi grabbed him.



A gun in her own possession, her beautiful smile was replaced with a flushed glower, "No you don't! You're coming with me!"



Glaring at her, Yamato raised his arms in surrender, "I knew you were different. Lady Luck."



With a smirk, Mimi pointed the gun to his back and began to march him up the stairs.



"I knew you were special Yamato Ishida. Too bad you'll have to die."
