[ooc] I'm surprised it took you that long to work out I like Terry Pratchet. I've used more than two quotes in this. You can only rip stuff like that off in a fanfiction, unlike my original works which I would really appreciate someone reading! Melanie is involved in the plot, that's why she's not menntioned at the moment, k? Wait 3 chapters. But good to know you remember her. By the way, if you're going to bag a part of my work, please tell me which part[/ooc]
"Hey girl, this isn't your territory."
"It's not yours either."
"Touché." Combo listened to the conversation with interest. He stood on the roof of some building at a corner in Shibuya Terminal. The conversation he was listening to, was one between a Doom Rider and a Love Shocker, neither of which should have been in the centre of GG territory.
However, they weren't spraying or doing anything else to threaten GG hold on the location, in fact, it looked like they were leaving. There was a general agreement between gangs that public facilities, such as doctors, schools, gas stations and some shops, were out of bounds and although they might be situated in the middle of one gang's territory, they belonged specifically to no one. Bus terminals also fell under this list, seeing as the transport system was all linked. Shibuya belonged to the GGs, but was used by many gangs.
There was another Love Shocker nearby, standing with a boy who was only about 2/3 her height, and clutching a black cat to his chest. She was arguing with a bus driver, about having animals on the bus from what Combo could guess.
Combo had accompanied Clutch, Corn, Jazz and Cube to the busses, and then had left them to continue to the doctors while he watched over his patch as always. The two other gangs had drawn his attention.
There was only the one Doom Rider poking his nose into the Love Shockers business, of which there was two. It seemed like the Doom Rider was bored, because to all appearances he was flirting with one of the Love Shockers, and not completely confident about it. It was the other Love Shocker with the little boy that was what he was really listening to.
"I'm sorry, but no animals are allowed on these busses, except Seeing Eye dogs. That's the rules. You cannot bring your cat on board. You will have to leave it behind," explained the bus driver once more.
"But it's part of our family!" insisted the little boy.
"It's the rules, son." The Love Shocker placed a hand on the boy's shoulder.
"Listen Dan, Savage can stay with Mina, and we can go to Uncle Roger and Aunt Penny's place in the country. Then we can get driven back here to find him again."
"No Kel!" insisted the boy, Dan, "Savage stays with us! He's family! Besides, he's not the sort of pussy Mina would take care of." Such a smart mouth for such a young kid, thought Kelly, stubborn too. Little brothers are such a pain!
"Alright, Savage and me will stay here, you'll be alright on the bus-"
"No!" Dan wrapped one arm tightly around Kel's waist while clutching the protesting cat with the other.
"We're staying together! And we can stay here!" Kel sighed and patted her brother's head. How could she say no to persuasion tactics as good as those?
"Alright Dan, we'll stay here. We can work something out." There must be a way to work things out somehow, she thought to herself.
"Mina, we're not going," she said as she tried to walk over to the other Love Shocker, away from the bus which was now leaving. It was harder to walk that she had anticipated with a small boy hanging off her waist.
"Why?" asked the other Love Shocker.
"It wasn't going to let us stay together. And we want to stay together. Um, your new friend seems to have just disappeared." Mina looked around, the Doom Rider had indeed scarpered.
"Damn. He was looking cute too," she complained, "Ah well Kel. Looks like it's back to Hikage street for you then, eh?"
"Yeah, I guess." There was a tug at Kel's shirt.
"I wan' an ice cream," said Dan.
"Dan, not now....."
"But I wan' an ice cream. I'm hungry!"
"Aw, go on Kel. Go get ice cream. They're only that cute when they're little," said Mina before leaving herself. Kel sighed as her friend abandoned her to her little brother with his irresistible charms.
"Alright Dan. Ice cream it is."
"Yay! I want chocolate and caramel and vanilla and chocolate fudge and sprinkles and nuts and a banana and hundreds and thousands and..." As you can imagine, his dream continued.
