Summary: COMPLETE! A bad spur of the moment idea costs Fujiko much more then what she might be willing to give up. Will Lupin be able to forgive her this time? And she actually feels--- guilty?

(Author's Note: Yes, after over a year in hibernation, this fic has finally been completed! My Lupin muse came back to me at last! Thank you all for your patience! I know quite a few of ya'll have bugged me about it's completion and I hope you will all be satisfied with how it ends. I know I am! Grins! Well, go on, read, review, and enjoy!)

Lupin cursed at what sounded like someone using a large battering ram to open the door to get into the room they were in. Lupin guessed it was just Pop's, hurling himself at the door in a desperate attempt to gain access. Jigen, Goemon, and Fujiko were frantically hurling the one billion yen in ruby's into the next room. Unfortunately, they couldn't get through to their remote controlled get-away vehicle in the room they were in, because of the heavy metal shielding that protected the vault.

The thief began to push everyone into the next room once all the rubies were collected. Pop's sounded like he was bashing his brains in to get to them. He knew the door was going to give way at any moment. It had been damaged during an ill-timed blast when they had infiltrated the vault that contained the rubies. And the internal door they were escaping through wasn't nearly as fortified. He had a spur of the moment idea and grabbed Fujiko before she could escape to the next room.

She cried out indignantly and punched the strong arm that held her.

"Distract Pop's 'till we can get our vehicle filled and in gear, got it?" He ordered her and roughly let her go.

"How?" She demanded petulantly.

But Lupin didn't have time to answer her. The door gave way and Lupin dove into next room, slamming the door. Fujiko threw herself at the now sealed door angrily.

"LUPIN!" She banged on the door as she called out. But it was a soundproof vault. She knew that he wouldn't hear her.

"LUPIN!" Zenigata called as he shouldered the door to the side. It moved enough to allow him to squeeze into the now empty vault where Fujiko stood. The old cop halted there, panting after his exertion. "Fujiko!"

Fujiko was at a loss at what to do. Had Lupin found out her plan to steal the ruby's once they were out of there? She felt a stab of anger at Lupin. The Inspector moved towards the other door, the one that Lupin and the others, and more importantly the ruby's had gone through. Frantic, she threw herself at Zenigata. He caught her in his arms, then held her away from him.

"Don't play with me, Fujiko." He said gruffly. "I'm not in the mood!"

She racked her brains, trying to think of a way to keep ol' Pop's from going through the next door. Then a thought struck her. It was the only thing she could think of and she couldn't believe she was going to go through with it. The things she'd do for a billion in gems! She did her best to psyche herself up for the act. But there wasn't time. Zenigata was about to push her aside but she fell to her knees and grabbed the belt of his pants.

"Fujiko, what--!" Zenigata barked at her irritated then froze when he realized she had unhooked his belt and was working at releasing the fly of his pants. His pants slid down to his ankles, and soon after, his boxers. "What--- do--- you think--- you're doing?" Zenigata asked wonderingly, too mystified to protest too much.

Fujiko didn't say anything. She was afraid to. She was trying not to think about what she was about to do. Lupin didn't say how she was supposed to distract the old man. Was he going to betray her to Pop's then, like she had intended on betraying him? Well, screw that! This would be the best payback to Lupin she could think of. She didn't give Zenigata much time to react as she took him in her mouth.

Zenigata gasped in amazed shock. His head emptied of almost every thought except for the one that was the most important, and that was--- Fujiko was going down on him. He hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath from trying to force the door open as of yet. His heart was going about a mile a minute and it felt like every nerve was having pleasure forced upon it. His eyes glazed over. It was easy to give in to the wonderful feeling. He couldn't remember how long it had been since the last time he had physical pleasure with a woman. It was just weird that the one to break the dry spell happened to be Fujiko. But at the moment, he didn't want to worry about that. He had to concentrate on breathing right then. It was hard to do. His breath came in quick gasps. His whole body seemed to quiver with the overwhelming sensation of Fujiko taking over his manhood.

Fujiko had been surprised the first moment she'd seen it. Bigger then she thought it would be. It pleased her on some weird level that Pop's was seemingly enjoying it as much as he was. She took pride in her abilities to bring men to their knees in multiple ways. This just happened to be one of them. Once she got over the initial creeps of the receiver being their old adversary, she was able to really get into it. Pop's didn't force it into her, he let her do as she would, which also pleased her. It always irritated her when they tried to shove it in as she was trying to do her thing. It didn't help.

After getting over the first few minutes of revulsion, she found it actually kind of pleasing. It was perfect payback for Lupin, and who knows, perhaps Zenigata would go easy on her after. For some reason, the old man seemed to not be easily affected by her feminine charms. Maybe because he knew he had no chance with her? Perhaps after this one time--- he'll be just as under her spell as Lupin was.

Just as she was wondering how long Pop's could last, he shuddered then moaned and she choked a bit as she swallowed him.

He just stood there, trembling slightly as she wiped her mouth off with the tail of his shirt, still in a state of shock.

"Was it good for you?" She smiled and tweaked his cheek, then turned and when she tried the second door again, found that she could open it. She left the old cop there who had a mixed look of confusion and pleasure on his face. He didn't move. Just stood there with his pants and boxers resting on his shoes, trying to sort out what had just happened, what he been doing before that moment, and why he was even there. About ten minutes past and he was still there, unmoving, when he managed to mumble, "Yeah." In answer.

Fujiko hadn't bothered to tell Lupin how she'd managed to hold her own against Pop's for so long without getting arrested. When she had been performing her specialty distraction on the Inspector, she'd entertained herself with the thought of telling Lupin in excruciating detail just how she held the old man at bay. But now, her courage left her for some reason she didn't understand. Lupin was being so nice to her. Not that that ever really affected her reasoning skills in the past. Lupin at his nicest was also the easiest to target. Which made it all the more confusing why she didn't tell him. Perhaps she'll just save it for later, when he really deserved getting taken down a notch. Right now, she was nearly rolling in her take of the ruby's from the robbery.

It had been a couple of days since the robbery. She'd hold onto her take for a few more days before she'd start to turn the gems into cold, hard cash. Gems were pretty, and she'd definitely keep a few for her own, personal collection, but you could always do so much more with a few million yen then you could a boat load of ruby's.

She spent her free time sorting the rubies. The one's she'd keep, the ones she'd sell. It was her idea of a good time. No man could ever out-shine quality gems in her eyes. Gems were definitely less maintenance then any guy. And though she could easily wrap both around her finger, gems always looked better anyway.

Fujiko heard the familiar sound of the roadster pull up to a stop in the driveway. Lupin and company were back from whatever errands they had set out to accomplish. It was by now a habit that she hid her gems from him. Once she felt they were secure, she hurried downstairs to meet Lupin.

"Lupin!" But her face fell at the haggard look on Lupin's and the similar expressions on Jigen's and Goemon's faces. "What happened?"

Lupin stared at her and she felt a pang of concern. Something was very wrong.

"Lupin?" She repeated. When she got no response, she turned to Jigen, "Come on, Jigen. Guys? Tell me what happened!"

Jigen's frown deepened and he kept his hat canted down so she could barely see his face. "Why'd you do it, Fujiko?"

Fujiko looked at him blankly. "What are you talking about, Jigen? Do what? What did I do?"

"Why'd you have to do that back there? And with Pop's?" Jigen asked.

Fujiko paused. He must mean the blowjob she'd given the Inspector. Oh God. But how'd they find out? She never told any--- of--- them. Then it dawned on her. Zenigata must have told them. Why?

Flustered, Fujiko threw her hands up, "I don't know, I was put on the spot! And--- I guess, a little angry at Lupin." She confessed for some reason.

"Well, that's just great, Fujiko." Jigen growled. "Do you have any idea what you did?"

Fujiko snorted angrily. Of course, hadn't she been the one doing it? "You going to tell me what the hell is going on?"

"Ol' Pop's is dead, thanks to you!" Jigen told her.

Dead? She stood there stunned, "What do you mean? How does this make it my fault?"

"The old fart was chasing us again today." Jigen explained reluctantly, "We were cornered. Guess he felt like gloating 'cause he was pissed off at Lupin. And he told us what you did to him. Real nice, Fujiko."

Fujiko was amazed. But, how'd that make him dead?

"Lupin lost his head then." Jigen said as if in answer to her thought. "Started raving then picked up his gun and, well, shot Pop's. We had to drag him out of there before the rest of the cops caught up to us."

Fujiko couldn't believe it. "But--- why?"

"You play with him, Fujiko!" Jigen spat in anger. "Get Lupin so wound up he can't think straight. Now you screwed him real good. You know how cop-killers get treated, don't you? You think we never got breaks in the past? Well, now the police will never let us rest. And you know that Pop's, pain in the butt that he was, always held a weird, if twisted place in Lupin's heart."

Fujiko frowned. She carefully came up to Lupin's side. He was staring at the floor. She reached out to him, but he jerked back.

"I killed him. I killed Pop's." Lupin muttered. He sidestepped around her and escaped to the next room to be alone.

Goemon remained quiet, his arms folded and walked off to meditate without looking at Fujiko once.

"Jigen---" Fujiko began but didn't have anything to say to the gunman, which was fine with him.

"Cops know where this place is--- it's in Zenigata's files. I'm sure they'll be here within the hour. If I were you, I'd start packing up."

"Where are we going?"

"WE are going somewhere else. You are free to go where ever the hell you want." Jigen broke away and went up stairs, leaving a blown away Fujiko standing by herself in the foyer.

She took a step towards the stairs, then stopped and inexplicably changed course and found herself walking in the direction Lupin had went. She found the young thief standing in front of a cold fireplace. She crossed her arms and slightly bowed her head as she slowly approached him.

"Lupin." She said softly.

"Haven't you done enough?"

She inhaled sharply. "Lupin. I'm--- sorry."

"Like I believe that one."

She heard the anger in his voice and balked a bit. "I really am!"

Lupin spun around and glared at her, "Don't you understand? Because of you I killed Pop's! What had I done to make you betray me like you did back there? Just when I thought things were going really well between us, you do something like this! What makes you think you can say anything that will make it all better again?"

Fujiko was wide-eyed. She'd never thought she'd see the day where Lupin would not forgive her. "You only said to distract him! You never said how!"

"Oh come on, Fujiko! We all know why you did what you did! You did it to get back at me!" Lupin fumed.

"I--- I---" Fujiko stuttered. "I thought you put me in that position to betray me!"

"What made you think that? Is that how I work?" Lupin growled.

Fujiko shook her head, "Well, not usually."

He snorted, "Wrong answer."

"Look, Lupin-"

"Save it, Fujiko. I killed a cop. That's all there is to it."

"But it was over such a stupid thing!" She almost shouted in frustration. "You could have chosen to let it go!"

"Why didn't you tell me right away, Fuj? I'm just curious. Was it 'cause you felt guilty? Or was it something else? Did you actually like it? Was Pop's the one you've wanted all along, though I find that one hard to believe, but at this point, I'm really not sure any more." Lupin asked.

"Why is it so important? We aren't 'together'." She spouted angrily.

Lupin glowered at her, "Has everything that we had together been THAT meaningless to you?"

"Of course not!" Fujiko countered unconvincingly.

Lupin snorted, "Don't make me laugh. You know how I feel when I see you with someone else. It drives me crazy! You knew and you went ahead and did--- what you--- did!"

Fujiko tried to reach out to Lupin but he batted her outstretched arms away angrily. "I don't know if I want you to come near me at the moment. I can't believe I'm sayin' this, but I think I want some space from you. If I want to get in contact with you, I'll find you. But otherwise, don't come looking for me."

Her lip trembled slightly and she took a hesitant step back. He really was angry at her! She was so used to him being able to forgive her just like that. She never thought that someday, she'd actually cross the line where Lupin might be beyond tolerance.

"Lupin---." She said, but the word was hollow and fell flat. She sensed she had to leave. Leave the house, leave the group, just--- leave. The beautiful young thief turned on her heel and quickly left the room and headed back to her own room to collect her hard won belongings. When she got there, she saw Jigen coming out of her room. Scowling, she quickly closed the distance between her and the gunman. "What are you doing in my room?" She noticed the suitcase. The very familiar suitcase, as a matter of fact. "Those are MY ruby's!" She tried to make a grab for Jigen's burden.

He easily avoided her attempts at retrieval and scowled at her from under the brim of his hat, "These are ours, I think. Consider them as payment for damages--- not nearly enough by my estimates." He growled.

"Those are MINE! I worked hard for my share!" Fujiko screamed at Jigen and balled her fists.

Jigen's laugh was short and without humor, "You haven't begun to work for YOUR share of what you've done." He then made an about face and left, turning a deaf ear to the barrage of colorful insults Fujiko hurled at his back.

An angry Fujiko left the house with considerably less then what she had originally planned. Much less. She had no idea where Lupin and crew's share of the ruby's had been squirreled away, though she had looked thoroughly and in the usual places. And with her own stash now a distant memory, she trod the gas pedal to her Mercedes mercilessly in a display of her anger. On the move again. She was used to that. But she hadn't counted on doing it in the shape she was in currently. She almost had it all! With this gig, she'd have enough to clear that mortgage on her flat in Tokyo. But now that was not possible. It wasn't fair! Lupin could have asked Goemon or Jigen to have hung back to stall the Inspector, but instead he had asked HER! What the hell was she supposed to do? She had no strength to overpower the cop. Only her excessive womanly charms held any strength that no man could resist. She sighed. And now, another man was dead because of her. She was sick of that. Why did this sort of thing always have to happen to her?
