"It turned out better than I expected, wouldn't you agree?" Tobias smirked as he extracted the now named rifle from the delivery box. He'd liked the story Yuuki told him about the incident, and the $35,000 she showed him as proof was officially hers, so he spent his own money to have the rifle specially engraved with an adaptation of the rifle's name, Lucky Lady.

The tasteful cursive writing on the sides of the wood below the bolt were inlaid with silver that glittered like his and Yuuki's hair. Likewise scripted with inlaid silver along the length of the barrel on both sides was the same quote. First in English near the firing chamber and the fixed iron sights, then in Russian script in the middle and then in Japanese kanji near the barrel, 'A swift death to those with honour, which never runs out when you need it.'

Lastly, the leather ammo pouch on the stock was likewise customized with gold, proudly displaying her name on both sides. Lucky Lady was even more beautiful now that she'd gotten an identity of her own.

"Oh yeah, definitely a sexy Lady." Yuuki accepted the rifle as he offered it to her. She opened the bolt to check for any more engraving, and found the name was neatly carved on the inside of the casing deflector. "Absolutely gorgeous."

"With this much work into the gun, plus the name, I think it's time I tell you the truth about the Lady..." Tobias smiled warmly at his daughter's suspicious stare. "I did all of this as a gift, for you. I was planning to give it to you at the end of the school year, but I think that's pointless now."

"Wait... She's mine?" Yuuki's suspicion was quickly replaced by surprise. "You're serious?"

"Absolutely. She's already gotten your seal of approval, but now that you've got personal involvement with her, it's only natural that her ownership belong to you."

"I don't believe you..." Yuuki was still in disbelief. The gun had almost ten grand in custom work - she could see the $2,000 bill in the box - and it was all for her?

"Did I stutter?" Tobias smiled proudly at her, which was the final key she needed before she shove her arm through the shoulder strap and rushed to hug her father.

"Thank you, I'll take good care of her." Yuuki was so happy. Any normal girl - Ghoul or human - would get this excited about getting a nice car from their parent, but not her. She got a beautiful, customized antique sniper rifle, because being normal was boring.

"I think her taking care of you is a better choice of words." Tobias returned the hug, noticing the nearby camera crew that had been recording the whole exchange were all tearing up with emotion. "I'll get you a safe for your growing arsenal, mine's a bit full."

"I already have an idea for what I want as my next gun." Yuuki adjusted Lady on her shoulder. "I want it to be a surprise, even for you."

"I can hardly wait." Tobias smiled at his daughter taking to the family tradition of being a professional badass.

He just hoped that she didn't learn about the Fourth Wall... Right Acidika?

"Oooh, that one's really nice." Sherry commented as they scrolled through the numerous images on Yuuki's laptop while Jake did the same on his phone beside them.

"How the hell do these bastards get such amazing artwork so quickly? We watched this week's episode at the same time as everyone else! It's been four hours since it ended, and they've already got pictures of me with Lady..." Yuuki gestured to the image on screen, which showed her in her usual leather corset and pants with her studded and bullet belts around her waist in her signature style with her holster bag around her thigh. Lady's stock was resting on her hip with that hand supporting the rifle by the foregrip area. Her other hand was depicted in the act of flipping a gold coin, and her face was a cocky, sassy little smirk. Written in silver across the bottom of the image was the the rifle's iconic quote in English. "If I find someone drew porn of me with my rifle, I'm probably going to break something."

"Do fanfics count? I found a few about you and Lady... This one's magically turned Lady into a human so you could have sex with her." Jake reported from his phone.

"That... actually sounds worthy of my attention, gimme that." She quickly grabbed the phone and started to read it. When she finished, she was actually slightly turned on by the mental imagery of her humanoid rifle. "Who wrote this...?" She scrolled back to the top and found the author's pen name. "How-Not-To-Do-Something, huh? I approve of your story, you crafty bastard. I just might... Pay you back for that." She spoke to herself as she gave Jake's phone back and returned to the fan art site.

Later that evening, Yuuki had the story prepared on her phone for her little idea. She sat at her desk, getting herself ready to record a video showcasing opinion of the fanfic of her and Lady.

Pressing the record button, she began her usual introduction. "Ohayo, privjet, what is up internet! It's me, Yuuki, and today I've got something a little bit different to discuss instead of a singing song. So, if you've seen the episode of Darkwood that was aired earlier this evening, you'll know who... this is!" She reached off camera to pick up Lady from where she'd been leaning.

"For those that don't know, this is Lucky Lady, a Mosin Nagant Model 91/30 that my dad customized from end to end. He was going to give it to me as a gift for the end of my school year, but there was a bit of an incident over the weekend. I was home alone with Jake for the whole weekend while my parents were away on business, and in the middle of the night, some guy broke into the house and tried to rob my dad's gun safe. So me and Jake got the jump on him and I shot him with Lady." She cradled her precious rifle to her chest. "So after we called the police to clean things up, the guy's gang of men come sneaking into the house looking for their boss guy. Obviously, I killed them." She shrugged slightly. "So the same cops come back, and the detective in charge made a joke about how she was so lucky for me taking down the whole gang with Jake, and that's how Lady got her name." She paused to lovingly pat the side of her gun before continuing. "So, when my dad finally gave her to me to keep was recorded for Darkwood, and I'm very pleased about all the amazing artwork that I'm still finding even at this moment." She indicated her nearby laptop with her thumb. "But, there's one thing I found that I particularly enjoyed. a fanfic about me and Lady, written by an author named How-Not-To-Do-Something. I wanted to say, whoever you are, I really loved your story, that way you described the humanoid version of Lady was really beautiful and very sexy. You're a great writer, you shouldn't be saying that your stories are 'amateur writing'. If you think you're being humble, that's fine, but I'm giving you credit where credit is due. You've impressed me, and I'd like to pay you back for that with this video."

Yuuki paused, thinking of her next train of thought, then had an 'aha!' moment that clearly showed on her face.

"I know! How about those lovely artists that keep making such amazing artwork of me take this special request from me: I want you all to draw me and Lady as we were depicted in How-Not-To-Do-Something's amazing story. I'll leave a direct link to the story in this video's description, maybe as an annotation... probably right here on the screen." Yuuki jokingly pointed at her chest. "Keep up the amazing work, sweetheart, you've earned it." Yuuki kissed her fingers and blew a kiss to the camera with a little wink before stopping the recording.

"Fuck you dad, I've known about the Fourth Wall for years. I've gotten used to Acidika's crap." Yuuki smiled as she glanced over at the Wall before setting to work with getting the footage prepared for editing.
