Chapter 2
Let's make a deal…
As Heedura and Rai walked along the streets, looking for any buildings that looked even semi perfect for there bar, Rai's phone ran. " Hello?" she said. ' Hi Rai!!! I just thought that I would call you and let you know that the outfits will be done by the end of the day, and that Una really hates them!!!' said Anna from the other side of the line. Rai couldn't help but laugh, " Well if she doesn't like them, then that means that they must be really good!!! Thanks for filling me in. Right now, were on the search for a good place to start the bar, and we haven't found anything that catches our…." Rai didn't get to finish, because she was too busy looking at the building in front of her. ' Rai…Rai??? Are you there???' said Anna practically screaming on the other end of the phone. Rai just made a noise too show that she was there, and said, " I'll phone you back, ok???" She didn't get to let Anna reply because she hung up the phone. " Heedura….." no answer." Heedura…. Are you seeing what I'm seeing??" said Rai. The only response she got, was Heedura pulling on her wrist and dragging her towards the old restaurant that was now for sale. The two barged in, to see 5 guys talking to some man. Heedura and Rai paid no attention to them, and hurried over to the one guy. " Excuse me sir, are you the one selling this place??" asked Rai with a gleam of hope in her eyes. The man looked at her, looked back at the guys behind them, who were a little surprised that someone, no less a girl, would interrupt business! He looked back at the two girls, put on a smile and said, " Why yes I am, and what can I do for you?" he asked. Rai looked towards Heedura, Heedura towards Rai…and they both started jumping up and down screaming with excitement. The man couldn't help but laugh a little. When they stopped, Rai turned towards him and said, " My name is Rai Fenel, and I am looking for a place to start a bar… you wouldn't happen to want to help us out would you?" Rai said, putting on a cutesy face. The man was about to speak, when one of the guys spoke up behind them, " Ah, actually, before you guys came along he was about too…" the guy who spoke up didn't get time to finish his sentence, " Listen, I have been going around town all day, and this is the first place that looks half descent, and, if you even think about getting in my way of buying this place, I will literally kick your lily ass….you hear me?" Rai said, as she spun around to come not even 30 centimeters away from the guys face. The guy turned about 3 shades of red. For the first time, Rai got a good look at this one. He had black hair that was pulled into a
tight ponytail, and he looked like he was Chinese. He was at least a foot taller then Rai, but it didn't intimidate her any! " Listen here, if you weren't a girl, I would pound you!" he said. Well, being the person Rai is, she took this as a challenge, " Bring it on tough guy! Just because I'm a woman, doesn't mean that I couldn't kick your ass!!! You look like if anything even came near to touching you, you would go into a corner and cry!" The chinese guys eyes grew wide, " Oh that's it!" he said as he started to bring up his fist to hit her. Rai just smiled. ' That's right,' she thought, ' just try me!' just as his hand was about to connect with her face, she stepped back, grabbed his hand, and twisted it. When
she saw he was in a moment of weakness, she flipped him onto the floor. " Now who's
the woman here?" Rai asked triumphantly. From behind her she heard a " Whoa." And she realized that she had totally forgotten about the other four guy's behind her, and, of course, her best friend Heedura. She turned around, and looked at the guys, who all had
surprised looks on their faces. She turned back to the guy who was still lying on the ground, and offered him her hand, " Sorry, I guess you just kinda pissed me off. Really sorry." He just stared at her, and pushed himself up off the ground, and walked over to where his friends were. One of the guys in the front looked over at him. He had a long braid, and shining violet eyes. " Hey Wu-man…. You were beaten by a girl…" he said as he snickered, then started to laugh hysterically. " Duo I suggest that you shut up before you get your ass kicked as well." A guy with really long bangs said, as he motioned over to Rai, who was looking a little pissed at the moment. Rai noticed how they covered half his face, but she could see clearly the beautiful emerald eyes that he had. The one named Duo, with the beautiful eyes stopped laughing and looked towards Rai. " Hey, sorry about my friend here, he doesn't have much sanity in there! My names Duo, and this is Quatra, " he said motioning towards the one with the platinum blond hair, " And Trowa, " he said pointing to the one with the bangs, " Heero, " he said, motioning towards one of the silent ones, with messy brown hair, and Prussian blue eyes, " And the one that is sulking is Wufei." Each of the ones he mentioned, waved, grunted, or said a cheery hello to Rai and Heedura. Rai just smiled, and said, " My name is Rai Fenel, and this is my sister, Heedura. I'm really sorry that we butted in, but we were just so excited that we had finally found a place to start the bar! Please, forgive us." Said Rai as she put on a cute face. Duo couldn't help but smile, " Of course! How could we not forgive a beautiful face like that?" he said, giving a sly grin. Rai just smiled and blushed, then turned back to the man, " So, will you help us?" The man looked at her. " You have a lot of attitude, and you can be very aggressive…" Heedura interrupted him, " Oh! She's not always like that! Trust me!" The man put up his hand, " You didn't let me finish, I was saying that she has a lot of attitude, which will get her far, if you guys are opening a bar, and she can be aggressive at times, which means that she will be able to take care of herself if needed, so, I think you guys could probably get far. Of course I'll sell you the place! I would be stupid not to!" Heedura and Rai looked at each other then started jumping up and down with joy. The man smirked, " Now if you will just come with me, and we can discuss the payment. " he said as he led the girls away from the five guys. " Man, she's hot!" said Duo, practically drooling over the view of Rai's ass swaying from side to side. " It's kind of mesmerizing…" he said, sounding doped up on something! He was pulled back to the
real world thanks to Wufei, who smacked him upside the head, " You baka!! They just took away our chance at buying this place!! Stupid woman, not knowing her place around a man!" said Wufei, still incredibly pissed off at the fact the he was indeed beaten by a woman. Duo turned to look at him, " Oh give it up Wu, it's not the end of the world that she kicked your ass… damn I wish I had a camera…" Duo said, thinking to himself of all the possible blackmailing that he could have done. " Meh, guess there's really nothing we can do about it now!" said Duo, as he started heading towards the door. He was closely followed by the rest of the guys.
Meanwhile, in the back room….
" So it should come to about 60,000$. You can pay in check, or you can pay over a period
of time…" he was interrupted by Heedura, " Would strait up cash be fine?" The man
looked at the two of them like they were crazy, " Cash would be fine, but where are you going to get…." Rai was already three steps ahead of him, as she pulled out the money from her purse and counted it. " Here it is, " she said as she passed him the money, "
60,000$ strait up in cash. It was nice doing business with you! Now, would you mind giving us the keys so that we can get started right away on fixing it up?" asked Rai. The man looked at in complete disbelief, but handed her the keys with shaking hands. Heedura smiled, " Thank you!" she said cheerfully as she showed him the door. When the man was gone, and they were all alone in the old restaurant/bar, the two couldn't help but scream with excitement. " This is so wonderful!!! I can't believe we found such a wonderful place, at such a good price!!!" said Rai, as she wandered around looking at everything that needed to be fixed, polished or just plain replaced. " Yeah I know what you mean! Did you see the look on his face when we handed him the money?" Heedura said while laughing. " Yeah, it was priceless!" answered Rai. As the two were looking around, Rai decided that she should phone everyone and let them know where their new bar was going to be. She took out her phone, and dialed the first number that came to mind, and it just happened to be Setsuna's. ' Hello?' came Setsuna's voice. " Hey Setsuna! I just thought I should call and let you know that we have a place for the bar!" said Rai excitedly. ' Peachy.' Said Setsuna, not all that thrilled. Rai couldn't help but laugh, " It's on the corner of 5th and Main ok?" she said, as she waited for an answer. ' Gotcha, 5th and Main… Bye.' She said as she hung up the phone. ' That girl sure is one hell of a peoples person!' Rai thought to herself, as she dialed the next number that came to mind, which was Michiru's.
