Disclaimer; I don't own Outlaw Star or any of the characters or any of the other elements of the series. There, that pretty much covers it. However, I do own the characters and situations presented in Boutou Hoshi. If you want to use them, please e-mail me and I'll probably let you do it. Please don't sue me! I've only got some old drawing books and empty pocky boxes anyway so you wouldn't get much. Okay, I'm done.
Dedication; This story is dedicated to the people who've stuck by me for the past three months, especially Jade S., Anime Angel, heehee, barbo-chan, and Trunks. Also, this is dedicated to my friends Legacy Lost, Bishonen no Miko, Tamahome no Miko, Shattered Stars, and (especially!) my sis Blayse! Thanks you guys! ^-^
Notes; Eeh, stupid FFN, sometimes I really hate those system errors. Grrrrrr. Perhaps I should sick my muses on them. Yes, yeees . . um, eh, sorry. Hehe . . . eeh, anyway! Well, I can't check my reviews but maybe that's a good thing considering I can't get too depressed about them if I can't see them. Hehehe. ^-^ 'Kay, well, I know that the last ch. was pretty hastily written and it probably wasn't very good and . . . ehh, I'm under a lot of stress. Dang. Anyway, I'll try and make this one better! (It's the big emotional crying scene, ooh! TISHUE ALLERT!! ^-^)
New Notes as of October; Wow, this took forever to write. Stupid school. Stupid play. Stupid Anime Weekend in Atlanta. Wait a minuet . . . WHAT AM I SAYING?!
AWA was great, actually it was the best weekend of my life!! I cosplayed as Suboshi from Fushigi Yuugi (go to my author page for pictures, just click on my name at the story information at the top of this page ^______^) and a surprisingly large amount of people liked my costume. ^-^ A really good friend of mine had an amazing costume as Vash (Trigun), her dad was Genma Panda (Ranma 1/2), another friend was Shampoo (Ranma 1/2), and three other of my friends who came down for the day were Lena Inverse (Slayers), civilian Sailor Jupiter (Sailor Moon . . . 0.o), and Hokan version Miaka (Fushigi Yuugi, now that one was fun!! I didn't do anything to her, honest! 9.9).
I saw a girl there who was Amiboshi (Kaika version, REALLY nice costume) and the two of us managed to get into the big Costume Contest! That's what the picture is of. My friend who was Sailor Jupiter got in too, she was cool (I loved her umbrella). ^-^ It was a LOT of fun and I'm thinking of doing a Con report on my new webpage.
All right, enough of this rambling. On to what you really came for; the fic! Please don't kill me for being so late with this!!
Tarian Ch.6: Separation
By; Adakie
A loud pounding at the door woke Gene from a dreamless sleep. Throwing on a shirt he stumbled out of his room. A quick stop at Jim's door told him that the unexpected visitor hadn't woken the boy. He was glad, he didn't think he could face his young partner at the moment. The pounding still persisted.
"All right all right! I'm coming! Hold your d*mn horses!"
He unlocked the door and pulled it open half way. Two men stared back at him with dark eyes. The one closest to him had clean cut dark hair and hard, gray eyes. The other man, standing back a little from the door, was completely opposite. He had sandy colored hair that was obviously overdue to be cut and light green eyes. Both of them seemed rather casual, but the odd look the second man was giving him made Gene uneasy. Gazing past them slightly he saw a large, dark gray van parked in the street.
"What do you want?"
"Mr. Starwind?"
"Ya, that's me. What's the idea of barging in here in the middle of the night?"
"Simply a matter of business Mr. Starwind. I understand there is another person living in this apartment."
The warning bells went off in Gene's head. 'Oh no, no way, this can't be happening.' "Well I don't now where you heard that, but you're wrong. Actually -"
"Gene?"
He turned to find a pair of bright blue eyes staring back at him. 'Oh sh*t!'
The first man stepped forward, shoving roughly past Gene. "What was that about our information being incorrect Mr. Starwind?" With one swift movement he grabbed Jim's wrist and pulled his arm behind him.
"Hey, what are you doin?! Let go of me you b*stard!!"
Gene started forward, fully intent on wrapping his hands around the mans neck, when he felt something grab him from behind. He found himself starring into the blond mans eyes.
"Please, Mr. Starwind, don't."
"What do you mean 'don't'!! You have no right to do this, get out of here both of you!!"
The mans eyes seemed to bore into him. There was something about the man that Gene couldn't explain and it was starting to freak him out. "You have to trust me Mr. Starwind, I can't guarantee your safety otherwise . . . or his."
"What are you talking about?"
The man didn't answer, he simply let him go and walked quickly out the door. With a quick glance around, Gene understood what had happened. 'Sh*t!' He ran out the door, not bothering to close it. The gray eyed man had his hand over Jims mouth and was carrying him out to the back of the van. Jim, for his part, was thrashing wildly. The second man unlocked the back doors and pulled them open. Gene ran forward, but a shout made him stop.
"Aah! He bit me! You little b*stard!"
"Gene, help me! Gene!!"
He took off again on a dead sprint but fate seemed intent on keeping him away. The blond was there again, holding him back. However, this time, he decided he wasn't going to take it anymore. He shoved the man down.
"Jim!!"
But by that time he was too late. The doors were closed, both men were gone, and the van was starting to pull away. Another yell caught his attention, one he knew by heart.
"Aniki!!"
~*~*~*~
The doors slammed shut. Gene hadn't been able to get to him, and now they had him. Now it was all over. He hit the door but it had no effect what so ever.
"Aniki!!"
He lashed out again, pounding against the dull metal, tears streaking down his face. Cold hands pulled him away. There were other people there with him. He looked up and saw a tall man and a slightly shorter woman staring at him. They were filthy and their cloths were ragged. The sight of them was so familiar . . . but he couldn't think of that now. He wouldn't.
"What's happening? Where are they taking us?"
The two didn't speak, they just stared out a small window as the scenery rushed past them.
~Owarii~
