Guns, Knives, and the Hinata
Chapter 13: The Past Will Always Come Back to Bite You In the Ass Pt.2
By: Sano-kun
Disclaimer: I do not own anything from Love Hina, but I lay claim to Gunnar, the now late Manny (Just read and find out why he's 'late') and Aoki (Who will appear later on in the story).
Nothing could stop Gunnar as he rushed towards the school. Little dogs, they got kicked. Children, they got ran over. The police, were socked, bit, and had their eyes gouged as they tried to stop Gunnar. After he was able to break past the blockade of police, Gunnar began to check out some of the lower levels of the school when he nearly impaled by a sharpened yardstick. Breathing a sigh of relif, the young man continued his search for his friend's abductor. Elsewhere in the school, a tied up Suu and Shinobu were glaring angrily at the same man that they ran into earlier pace back and forth in front of them while muttering darkly with the occasional hysterical hyena-laugh.
"What are you going to do you crazy man?" Asked Suu.
"Oh quite child, you're just bait for Ghost." Said the man as he lokd at Suu.
"What there's a ghost?"
"No you blonde twit, your friend Ghost will come searchng for you once he learns of your abduction."
"We don't know anyone named Ghost and what is he anyways, does he owe you money?" Asked Shinobuu.
"You do know Ghost."
"We do?" Said Shinobuu and Suu.
"Yes, I believe you know him as Gunnar Geist Smith and as for what he is or was, he was the top contract killer of the Yakuza."
"You're lying Gun-Gun would never kill anyone." Said Suu.
"Oh but he did child, have ever noticed him wield knives with grace or shoot a gun with a inhuman accuracy before?" Asked the man as he saw the stunned looks on the girls' faces, "You believe now don't you, a person doesn't gain those types of skills in a arcade."
"It can't be true, Gunnar can't be a killer."
"Face it girl, besides you'll just end up dieing if Ghost doesn't meet my demands."
"Huh?"
"What did we ever do to you?!"
"Just my job from my boss; Get Ghost back into the fold using any means nessasary. Ghost always did have a soft spot for women, children, and the elderly." Cackled the man as he drew a pair of midnight black six-shooters from his back pockets.
While everything was happening in the building, outside Keitaro and the rest of the Hinata residents were standing outside of the middle school while wondering what was going on.
"Ara, ara is there a fire anywere?" Asked Mutsumi.
"Does it look as if a fire is blazing out of control?" Asked Motoko dryly.
"Now that you mention it, I see no fire."
"Anyways let's check to see if Suu and Shinobu are alright." Said Naru.
"Hold on there miss, nobody can get in." Said a police officer as he stepped in front of the group while causing everybody to flinch at the sight of his broken nose, black eyes, and fat lips.
"Geez what happened to you?" Asked Keitaro.
"Some madman entered the school and is holding two girls hostage..one Koalla Suu and one Shinobuu Mahehara."
"What?"
"That's not all some crazy black guy busted through the blockade we made and is in the school now."
"Crazy black guy?"
"Sounds like Smith." Stated Motoko lamely.
"What if that madman kills the girls and my Gunnar?!" Panicked Naru.
"Your Gunnar?"
"Forget that you heard me say that."
"Don't worry about Gunnar, it's the person who took Suu and Shinobuu hostage you need to worry about." Smirked Seta as he walked up towards the group as the policeman left.
"Seta." Greeted Kitsune.
"Seta you've been holding something from us and we want to know what it is!" Shouted Naru.
"Yes...what is your connection to Smith?" Asked Motoko.
"Easy, he's my baby cousin and a pretty good hitman when he was younger."
"Baby cousin?" Said Kitsune.
"Hitman?" Added Keitaro.
"He'll explain it all to you anyways let's just get some bandages ready for Gunnar, knowing him he'll come back with a bunch of wounds." Said Seta.
Back in the school Seta's words were coming true, Gunnar's clothes were ripped in mutliple places and stained in blood since he had to dodge a variety of traps. Growling the young man reached the top floor of the school when he heard a low chuckling ahead of him. Squinting his eyes, Gunnar saw Shinobuu and Suu tied up and laying on the ground as a man towered over them. Recognizing the man, the youth let out a rage filled scream as he ran over to the man with the intent to kill.
"DAMN YOU MANNY!" Seethed Gunnar as he performed a wild haymakeer which the man avoided.
"Ghost my old friend, I though that you would be happy to see me." Said Manny with mock pity.
"I will kill you."
"Heh so the bloodthirst of your hasn't been saitated."
"Oh it has, but I believe that when confronted by assholes like yourself my urge to kill gradually rises."
"Touchy, anyways I'm not here to fight you."
"Then what?"
"Aoki wants you back with the group."
"You can remind that bitch that I will have nothing to do with her anymore." Spat Gunnar.
"You see it's not that simple Ghost, either you return or you start planning funerals." Said Manny as he leveled his guns at Shinobuu and Suu.
"Gunnar!" Cried Shinobuu.
"Please help us Gun-Gun!" Wailed Suu.
"You won't even get a shot off." Stated Gunnar darkly.
"Really?" Said Manny as he blinked once as Gunnar suddenly vanished.
"Really." Growled Gunnar as he reappered behind Manny and kicked him in the back causing him to drop his guns.
"How could you move that fast?"
"Seig Kaiser Assasin Branch Skill Number Ten: Demon Walk, I thought your stupid self would remember that."
"Guess I didn't."
"Don't bother getting up...well you won't be getting up anymore."
"Come on Ghost...I mean Gunnar, Gunnar please don't kill me man I was only kidding!"
"Hmph." Snorted Gunnar as he turned away from Manny and begain to undo the girls' bonds.
"Gun-Gun?" Said Suu.
"Hey don't worry, I'm here and that bastard won't try anything again."
"Gunnar look out!" Shouted Shinobuu as she saw Manny pull out derringer pistol.
"Other part of my job, if you refuse still...DI....! Shouted Manny before a bullet to his forehead silenced him.
"No you die." Said Gunnar as he held out one of the Manny's black six-shooters.
"You killed him...." Muttered Shinobuu as she looked at Gunnar in shock.
"There was no other way to stop him, now let's go now."
"But..." Said Shinobu softly as a tear started to slide down her face.
"Suu take Shinobuu outside first, I'll follow in just a bit okay." Said Gunnar
"Alright, let's go Shinobu."
As the two girls exited the school they were immediatly scooped up by the police and taken to an ambulance where the rest of the Hinata group was waiting. A few minutes later Gunnar exited and was greeted to the sounds of many weapons being armed.
"Wait I didn't do anything!" Pleaded Gunnar.
"Then what do you call this?" Said one policeman who had a full leg cast.
"You brought that on your own damn self."
"Let him go, this guy saved those girls!" Shouted Naru as she broke past the barricade and ran up to Gunnar.
"How would you know?" Asked an officer.
"Would a person who went to go rescue somebody come out all fresh and clean?"
"No."
"Superman would!" Said another cop.
"Yeah!" Agreeded everyone else.
"Does he look like Superman to you?!" Shouted Naru.
"No." Said another.
"Then you will let him go right now and go get the real bad guy who's in the school still!"
"You heard the lady guys, let the boy go and let's go get that..." Said the officer before he was interrupted by Gunnar.
"Don't bother, he's dead. I shot him in self-defense with his own gun when he tried to kill me, so just send in the coroner." Said Gunnar softly as he walked past the startled officer and Naru.
Later on that night, Suu and Shinobuu retold their experience from when they were taken captive by Manny to when Gunnar shot the same man dead without any pity. Everyone who heard were all in shock. As the storytelling was going on, Gunnar, whom was now clean and bandaged, say on top of the roof gazing into the night sky. The assistant manager let a deep sigh loose as he made a descision to leave the Hinata to keep his friends safe just in case somebody else from his past came looking around for him again. Waiting until he was sure that everyone was asleep, Gunnar slipped quietly into his room and began to pack his bags with his belongings. Once he finished Gunnar crept downstairs when he heard somebody at the bottom step.
"You're leaving, aren't you?" Said Naru.
"Yeah, it'd be a lie to say that I didn't enjoy my time here." Said Gunnar as he walked past Naru.
"Don't go."
"What if somebody else from my past came back and tried to pull the same stunt like Manny! Naru...I don't want to see any of you get hurt because of me." Said Gunnar as he dropped his bags.
"Gunnar please stay."
"I can't, are you comfortable knowing that you live with a killer?"
"Listen I don't care about what you do...you're still the same annoying piece of burnt bread that I met all those months ago."
"Naru..I..."
"Please stay...for me." Said Naru as a few tears started to slide down her face.
"For you I'll stay, got it?" Said Gunnar softly as he wiped the tears off of Naru's face.
"Thank you Gunnar." Smiled Naru as she wrapped her arms around Gunnar's neck.
"You're welcome Naru." Said Gunnar as he wrapped his arms around Naru's waist and kissed her.
At the top of the stairs....
"Whoah do ya think they're using their tounges?" Asked Suu in a low voice.
"Looks like it." Whispered Motoko.
"Auu, Naru and Gunnar make a nice couple." Said Shinobu.
"Naru sure does know how to pick the good ones." Said Kitsune.
"Ara, do you think they'll start getting freaky and having kids faster than rabbits?" Asked Mutsumi.
"I wouldn't put it past them." Said Keitaro.
"You know I can hear you guys up there so if you don't want a bullet in your ass you'd better get back to your rooms." Said Gunnar as everyone began to scatter as they heard the cocking of a gun.
"You know that was just wrong." Said Naru.
"Hey, are you gonna talk or are you gonna get back to the kissing?"
"Shut up Toast."
"Cockroach." Chuckled Gunnar as he and Naru resumed their make-out session.
A.N.- So what do ya think? What will happen now that everyone know's Gunnar's past, who is this Aoki, and will there be anymore D.C. superhero references? Well ya just gonna have to wait, even I don't know. ;)
