~*~Chapter One~*~

~The Offer. ~

"What do you want?" The woman asked Hizanco with an aggravated tenor in her voice. A group of four outlaws were currently sitting on the right side of a fairly long table on the Kay pirate's ship.

"First off I would like to thank you for coming here on such short notice lady Aki" Hizanco stated prior to getting cut off by Aki.

"Really it wasn't a problem. But do me a favor and drop the lady Aki crap. Just Aki please." The blonde at the head of the table across from Hizanco corrected.

"All right then La-.Aki" Hizanco corrected himself and stared at Aki for a moment. "There is a bounty that I have recently placed on a man's head," Upon saying this Hizanco handed a small peace of paper to the man standing next to him. The man proceeded to walk around the table and hand it to Aki. "That's the gentleman. His name is Richard Arani. However he has been known to go by the name of grim."

Aki looked at the picture for a second, seeing a fairly tall, well built man with black hair and green eyes. She lifted an eyebrow then proceeded to pass the picture to her closest comrade. Each girl glanced at it briefly then passed it on; not really caring who they had to kill, only how much they made for it. "You have my attention" Aki said as she glanced back over at Hizanco.

"Very well," he said with a smirk. "The job until now paid 4 million but after the first few people departed this life going after him no one is very eager to take the job over. So I've upped it. 6 million" he shouted as he struck his hand on the table. This drew every ones attention directly to him.

The seemingly youngest of the group's eyes got wider as she leaned over to the woman with brown hair. "Shit, that's a lot of money," She whispered.

"Ninii, shhhh" the brunet hissed back.

Aki only momentarily looked at the two who were about to start quarrelling, then rolled her eyes. Hizanco sat in silence for a few moments, gradually beginning to lose his patients at the insolence that was being shown to him.

"So. Do we have a deal? Do you accept?" he asked hastily, obviously having other things to attend to latter. Aki looked around the room at her fellow outlaws. Eyes darted around until finally, all three of them nodded.

"Yes" Aki said to much of Hizanco's liberation. "But if you don't mind me asking, why so much? What did he do?" The girl questioned. It wasn't apparent to her why exactly any one person's life would be worth that much to some one; especially to such a great power like they pirates.

"Well that my dear is a fairly long story, which I don't want to bore you with. But lets just say for the sake of time that he tested my patients one to many occasions." Was all that was said as an answer to Aki's query. The way that it was said almost sounded fabricated, perchance he was trying to hide something.

Once again eyes darted around the room. The girls not really satisfied with the answer given as to why he was fated to die but not wanting to turn down that much hard cash.

"Good enough for me ^_^;" Said aki with a smile. She then stood up.

"Here you go" Hizanco handed Aki a disc and shook her hand, as well as all of the others.

All four girls were then escorted out of the room and down the foyer; but not before Hizanco made one last statement. "Excuse me Aki, but should you happen to find some sort of note or letter amongst his corps please return that to me. I will gladly pay you further. Much further." He finished. Aki simply nodded and ran to catch up with the rest of her party whom were still on their way out of the room.

They exited the area and then began to walk down another long corridor. On the way down the gentleman escorting them began to converse with them.

"You know people have died going after this guy right?" The man asked as he stopped and pressed a button by a door marked -Dock 8- .

"Yeah.Hizanco told us a few went down" Aki alleged as she leaned against the wall on the other side of the elevator and waited.

"No big deal. Nothing we haven't handled before" Ninii added as she glanced at the numbers above the door.

The door then opened and the man held out his hand signaling for them all to board. He pressed the button and as the doors were closing added on last article. "37 died. 16 were hospitalized. Have a nice day ladies ^_^" he waved and the elevator door closed completely.

All four of them stopped and looked at each other blankly. Almost as though they weren't sure weather what the man said was a fictional creation in there mind or true; then at the same time each one lunged at the door and screamed "WAIT!" but it was to delayed, there screams went un noticed.

Every one was silent for a instant, until Kuroi began to converse. "He may just be over exaggerating."

"Maybe the people that were sent weren't trained at all" whispered Nicoli as the elevator came to a stop. This caused aki to stumble into Nicoli, causing her to hit Ninii. Nicoli rolled her eyes. "Speaking of which" Nicoli said with a little to much attitude, hinting at the fact that Aki some times acted a little to klutzy. They were now on the lower level of there own ship. The crew exited the elevator.

"Hey! What does that mean?" Aki questioned as she ran out after Nicoli.

"Sure, maybe they weren't trained. Or maybe were all Fucked ^_^" Ninii added as she merrily skipped past every one in the elevator and climbed the ladder across the hall.

Aki and Nicoli's faces went blank and Kuroi rolled her eyes, then proceeded to fallow Ninii.

Once all of them had gotten back to the cockpit Aki put the black disc into the main drive and began to quickly click away. After about 30 seconds a picture of their next target came onto the screen.

"Where can we find him?" Asked Nicoli as she sat down in her chair.

" Just hold on one second, shesh" Aki again began to press buttons until she finally got to a page that consisted mostly of information. She scrolled down. "Lets see.um.looks like sentinel" She finally decided.

"THAT PLACE!?" Nicoli screamed and jumped up creating a load bump.

"Yeah. what's wrong with it?" Asked aki as she turned around in her chair.

"It's like.o hell I don't know.just a really bad place," Nicoli stuttered out as she slowly sat back down. Still looking very tense with worry.

Aki only stared blankly, then lifted an eye brown. "Soo.we shouldn't go?"

"O Hell NO!" you want us to loss that much money because you don't want to spend one day on a slightly dire planet?" Kuroi questioned.

Nicoli got a look of deep thought on her face. "Yeah." She finally stated.

At this point Aki was still at the computer trying to find a more specific location to find the man, then she suddenly stopped and turned to look at Nicoli. "Hey," She smiled evilly, crossing one leg over the other and leaning back in her chair. "Isn't that where you met what's his face?"

"CRAM IT BLONDIE! " Nicoli turned and hissed, Leaning closer to aki and griping the back of the chair.

"It is isn't it?" Aki laughed.

"What's his face?" Kuroi asked as she to turned in her seat to join the conversation that had recently developed.

"Fill us in aki" Ninii pleaded.

" OK ^_^" She consented. "What's his face was Nicoli's first guy. But he dumped her for some chick named cookie." Aki slapped her leg and bent over laughing. "She cried over him for a damned month- O.o;" All the color ran out of Aki's face as Nicoli lunged at her. Aki ducked out of the chair and took off running down the hall, sliding on the way out and hitting the corner of the door.

"I TOLD YOU TO STOP!" Nicoli screamed as she chased after Aki. Aki ran into the kitchen of the ship and jumped behind the table. Nicoli took a position directly across from the blonde.

"Can't we just talk this over?" Aki pleaded. Nicoli got a death glare and reached to the counter, grabbing a metal dustpan. "Guess not." Nicoli darted to the left causing Aki to jump. Not seeing an alternate escape Aki dove under the table and resurfaced on the other side.

"Fine! If you wanna be that way" Aki warned as she reached behind her and grabbed something out of the sink. Nicoli only looked back with an -I dare you- look.

"Do it. See what happens," Nicoli demanded; Her eyes turning in to dagger like slits and her lips losing all signs of emotion. Aki smiled in return and pelted Nicoli in the head with a soaking wet sponge. Nicoli got a shocked look on her face as the sponge slowly ran down her face, leaving a trail of soap and water.

O my god. I'm gonna die the younger of the two thought to her self as Nicoli glared at her. ".Your mad.aren't you?" Aki asked in a very meek voice.

"O Yeah" Nicoli responded calmly, taking the lower part of her shirt in her hands and whipping away the water on her face.

"This is gonna hurt.isn't it?" Aki questioned.

"Most likely" Nicoli said cracking her knuckles.





At this time Kuroi and Ninii were preparing the ship to launch. They had already pulled completely out of the dock, and were now preparing to start up the either drives.

"Hey Kuroi.Do you hear something?" Ninii asked upon hearing a series of load thuds and crashes.

"Umm...I don't think so" Kuroi answered as she finally got the ship ready for departure.

"HEY AKI! CAN WE LEAVE NOW OR WHAT?" Kuroi yelled. All she got in reply were a few gurgles and chokes for help.

"I'm gonna take that as a yes ^_^" Kuroi said as her finger reached over to the button on the far side of the control panel.

"Wait." Ninii spoke upon grabbing Kuroi's hand. "Shouldn't we wait till they get in there seats?"

"Na. They'll be fine." Kuroi said reassuringly. And pressed the button. A lifeless voice then came on over the intercom.

"Launching in..10..9..8" Nicoli herd the message and let go of Aki, who was currently pressed against the wall with her arm behind her back. She then darted into the room, jumped completely over her chair and sat down. Making sure that her restraints were nice and snug.

~Well that was odd~ Aki thought as she rubbed her shoulder, trying to stop the strange sting that had recently developed.

"7.6.5.4.3." Aki then walked in with a hand on the side of her neck.

"Hey.what's going on- O.o;" Aki stopped to see the number 2 up on the main screen. "SHIT!!!!!" Aki screamed as she lunged for her seat.

"1.ignition" The ship started out to full speed and aki went rolling back to the very end of the ship. Cursing the whole way.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Well I got that done. Not bad right? Not good.but not bad. As for all you Gene-a-halics out there, don't worry.
