Disclaimer: Oh, of COURSE I own it! Didn't you know? *Sees several attornies glaring* Oh fine. It isn't mine.
Warnings: Ummm, something happens to Chichiri's counterpart, but don't worry. She'll be fine.
::Chapter Three::
::Counterpart #1::
Tasuki and Chichiri landed hard in an alleyway, in what looked like the worst part of town. "Ugh, what now?" Tasuki asked, sitting up like it was the hardest thing in the world.
"I guess we could ask for directions." Chichiri suggested half-heartedly, realizing he had NO idea how to find the people they were looking for.
Tasuki opened his mouth to reply, when they suddenly heard screaming coming from a few blocks down. It sounded like a girl, and she was screaming, "GET OFF OF ME!!!!"
Tasuki and Chichiri both jumped up, and began rushing to the sound. They got there and saw a man holding a young woman down, trying to rip apart her shirt. Tasuki snarled, and reached for his tessan, when a calm, cold voice, said, "Why don't you do like she asks and get off?"
The man on the girl whipped his head around to face the shadows where the voice had come from, and growled, "This ain't none of your business! If you don't want any trouble, leave!"
The voice chuckled darkly, and there was a flash of silver as the person pulled out something long and metallic. "Baka yaro. Didn't I give you a fair warning last time?" They said, and stepped out of the shadows.
Tasuki and Chichiri stood frozen as they saw the person come into the yellowish light of a street lamp. It was a girl, about 5'9" with wild orangish-red hair, ice cold golden eyes, and a sharp fang poking out of one corner of her mouth. She was dressed in khaki pants, a black jacket with light blue inner lining and a white shirt underneath that, and black boots. She was also carrying a familiar looking metal fan.
"G- Genrou!" the man gasped, and jumped to his feet, looking at the girl in fear, and grabbing his arm, a scar from a terrible burn just visible in the dim light. "I- I th- thought you h- had moved." he stammered, backing away from the girl, who was smirking, and tossing the fan from hand to hand.
"Obviously." she answered coldly, and helped the woman up, who immediately ran and hid behind the red haired girl. "I believe we discussed what would happen if I caught you trying to do this again, yaro." she said, narrowing her eyes, and holding out an arm with the tessan pointed at the man.
The man suddenly turned and began running down another alley way as fast as his legs could carry him. Genrou's eyes narrowed even more, and she growled, "You can run, but you can't hide." and took off after him. After just a few seconds, they heard the yell, "REKKA SHINEN!" and a scream, then all was silent.
Genrou came back after a minute, and gently put a hand on the young woman's shoulder, asking kindly, "Are you all right?" The woman instantly collapsed into Genrou's arms, sobbing uncontrollably, and shivering. "Shhh, it's all right. You don't have to worry about it anymore. It's over." Genrou said soothingly, and rubbed her back while letting the frightened woman cling to her.
Chichiri looked at Tasuki, who was staring at the red haired girl with wide eyes, and said weakly, "I think we've found your 'counterpart', no da."
