Random Emishi Sketchiness
WARNINGS: ...this isn't really good enough to fit what I'd call a fic- the best part is the series of puns at the end. I wrote it at 1 AM for no real reason other than to see if I could still write, and, frankly, it looks like I can't. So, if I hate it so much, why did I upload it? ...because that's about how much respect I have for FF.Net, and because Get Backers deserves its own subcategory, already!
...it occurs to me now people looking for GB stuff will stumble across this. I apologize in advance to those people.
Oh, yeah, but the real warnings: incredible OOC and perhaps a few spoilers for the Venus de Milo arc of the anime, seeing as that's about where this fits in.

Emishi strolled into the Honky Tonk with his hands resting comfortably behind his head. Spotting Shido was easy in the undercrowded bar, but he still took a look around to familiarize himself with the place. Maybe living in Mugenjou had made him a bit paranoid. Wasn't everyone allowed to be a little crazy?
"Yo, Shido-kun!" he greeted, walking towards the predictable isolated booth his longtime friend had chosen. Except, as Emishi noticed mid-step, Shido wasn't isolated. "Oh, Hevn-san's here, too," he amended, forcing his gaze quickly upwards as he sat down across from the well-endowed woman. After a moment of silence everyone but Shido considered nervous, Emishi decided to lighten the mood. "So, who else is invited to this little party?"
"I've asked for Kadsuki-kun's assistance in this mission as well," Hevn replied. "He should be here-"
"Any minute?" Kadsuki finished, pulling up a chair to sit beside the booth.
"What kind of mission is it? A recovery?" Emishi continued, eyeing Shido's apparently untouched coffee. Hevn nodded, taking a sip of her own.
"What about Ginji-kun?" Kadsuki inquired, resting his hands in his lap.
"Those two... are part of this mission," Hevn answered vaguely.
"Get back the Get Backers?" Emishi quipped, raising an eyebrow and slouching in his seat. Shido gave him a look, but no one else so much as acknowledged the pun.
"Something like that..."
----------
Even cowering before Shido with his head two inches from the dirt, Emishi had to admit to a certain amount of respect for Ginji's new partner. Fortunately for everything but what remained of Emishi's ego, Shido didn't seem that upset about the fact that the whip-wielding joker had failed. Grumbling to himself, Emishi followed his partner down to the docks. By the time they arrived, however, the excitement of the heist (and the fact that odds were good they'd run into Ban again) had raised his spirits somewhat.
"I can't believe I let those pigs outfox me," Emishi complained. "That snake bastard just slithered off," he reiterated, with a motion to illustrate, "and I'm stuck here eating crow--" The rest of the sentence was drowned out by a loud whistle. "Shido-kun, quit monkeying around! Where's Kadsuki with the boat?"
"Not coming," Shido answered stonily.
"Bull..." Emishi continued. "What does he expect us to do, swim out there?" This time he was interrupted by a spray of seawater. As he coughed, wide-eyed, Shido knelt on the edge of the dock to greet the pair of dolphins, pulling harnesses out of his pockets. Recovering, Emishi grinned.
"I knew there was something fishy about this plan...!"

...all I'm saying is, I told you so. XD It's your own fault for actually reading it, you nutcase. Now, be a smart little fanperson and go watch more Get Backers. *shameless promotion for A-E fansubs (http://a.scarywater.net/ae/)* ...and I can do that, because I'm not in any way affiliated with them. ]
