Chapter five: Outlaw
Once the group, lead by Shakura made it back to their head quarters, they all met up in a large room, with windows of glass pane in the upper walls. Almost over 400 men and children were there. The only women that were in the area, were Lina, Parapu, Shakura and another woman, very big in stature and in weight, and a few other girls, close to Lina's age.
"My fellow outlaws! Our raid against the bounty hunters of Class B* was successful!" Shakura yelled out, while standing in the center of the room. Many howls and clapping noises were heard from the crowd, also some standing, whistling to these joyful words. Shakura smiled lightly, until she signaled Parapu to stand, along with her a labtop in her arms.
"WE have the results of each bounty on each of us now, the most high ranking of us, seems to be.." Parapu mused outloud, opening the screen and typing a few letters into the keyboard, built into the labtop. She blinked twice, her glasses sliding on her nose, reading the screen out loud. " Name: Lina Inverse, age: 11, height: 4'9, gender: unknown ,Eye color: red, Hair color: red, class: S, bounty: $222,453,879.00 American dollars."
Lina quickly stood up, yelling out at no one in peticular. "What the hell!? Gender: unknown!? I'm a damn girl!!! Fuckin' bounty hunter bastards!" Many of the men tried to calm her down, but still Lina squirmed and screamed, inraged at the comment of her gender. Shakura and Parapu both sighed, then dismissed everyone back to their respectful places.
Suddenly, a young man came running into the large room, panting as he skid to a hault infront of Shakura. He hunched down, trying to catch his breath. "M-m-miss Shakura.I have..news!" Lina heard this, and shoved all those around her aside to see what the man had to say.
"What is it, Aiko?" Shakura asked, blinking somewhat. He looked up to her, still panting, and replied.
"Someone .. was spotted around the area, looking for Lina..."
"Who, then?"
"..a bounty hunter..."

Lina laid in her bed, stareing up at her ceiling, while going over her thoughts quietly. 'I can't even remember how I got into this desert...I know I came on a ship, from Earth to here..but.' her thoughts were interrupted when Parapu knocked at her door. "Lina.? Shakura wants to see you." she spoke out, then walked away, down the stairs. Lina sighed and hopped from on her bed, and walked out her door to the large room, with the glass paned windows.
When Lina reached the room, she saw Shakura, holding a black material and a long blade. She blinked slightly, stopping infront of Shakura, looking up to her. "Yes?"
Shakura looked to her, those green irisis of hers dulled, and clouded. She smiled and handed Lina the black material, and the long grey blade. "Here, take these...you'll need them." She said in a hushed tone, a small smile plastered on her face. Lina blinked twice, then pulled the black over her, it was a long cape with a hood, which covered her whole body from the knees. She then pulled the hood over her head, pulling her long red hair behind it. She took the blade's hilt in her palms, looking over it...
"You know what you have to do, Inverse.." Shakura spoke out again, what seemed of venom in her voice. Lina looked up to her and nodded, her eyes fierce and filled with determination. With that, Lina made her way out of the room, back into the Desert of Sorrow, to claim her victim..
