Bounty Hunter

Authors Notes: Well, I don't' know what to say...Thank you? I really wasn't expecting this much reviews for this story in general...But on average ten reviews per chapter isn't all too bad.

I won't procrastinate any longer...

Mimi glared at him once he challenged her authority. He smirked and quickly snuck a kiss, which instantly triggered her anger. She threw a fist towards his face; he quickly dodged; grabbed the chain from the cuffs, and reeled her in.

"Are we really going to do this again?" He asked, soon enough he was doubled over, due to the blow to his stomach.

"Will you ever get your hormones in check?" she responded.

He only smirked at the question before he hooked his leg onto hers, which caused her to trip and fall. She pulled on the chain from the cuff; Yamato coincidentally fell to the floor.

"I can really get use to this position," he stated, a smile gracing his lips.

"In hell," Mimi responded, before she flipped him off of her body.

"So...You've made reservations there too? What a coincidence" Yamato responded as he gently shoved her off of him.

Mimi quickly produced a gun and shoved it none too gently into Yamato's skull.

"Whoa...Hey, whoa, hold on there......Be a good sport and play fair." Yamato said a bit of unsteadiness in his voice.

"Too bad this isn't a game." Mimi responded as she cocked the gun.

"Well if you aren't going to play fairly...I don't see why I should either" Yamato said as he presented a small sterling silver key.

"Is that supposed to scare me?" Mimi questioned.

"Put the gun down," Yamato negotiated. "Look at this way, Ms. Taichikawa...If you don't put the gun down...I will assure myself that we stay hand cuffed together. So put it down." Yamato said.

"You wouldn't." she challenged him. His face was not phased by her tone; he simply dangled the key before her eyes, before swallowing it.

"That was the key to the cuffs!" Mimi shouted at him as she smacked him over the head with her gun.

"Too bad this isn't a game or else you could've just hit the reset button." Yamato laughed half-heartedly.

Mimi took a deep breath trying to calm herself down. But Yamato's laughing kept on getting the best of her. "Not to worry...This is no reason to worry......Not to worry--my partner has a spare." Mimi told herself.

"I couldn't help but overhear that last statement...but who exactly did your partner go after again?" He asked.

"Jerry black-- Second largest bounty," she informed him.

"Jerry Hit-Man Black?" Yamato laughed

"Yes..." she trailed off.

"He went after Jerry--he ain't coming back." Yamato commented casually.

"What makes you say that?" Mimi asked in what seemed to be a worried tone.

"What? Well...Noting-- It's just that I've had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Black...Let me just put it this way. What I did to the grave keeper tonight would be Childs play to him...I mean it's five in the morning already. I set out to do rob that grave at about midnight." Yamato explained slowly, adding to his somewhat humorous tone.

"You're wasting your time. Incase you haven't noticed the cuffs are...T.A Prototype 6.0 Bounty gear--They're indestructible...Prototypes? These aren't even out on the market yet..." Yamato said, commenting the last part to himself, as he examined thee cuffs.

"I know what type of gear I use, no need to tell me. But I refuse to stand another minute handcuffed to you. I sweat can't you keep your hands to yourself for ten minutes?" Mimi ranted as she attempted to pick the locks.

"Let's just hope you remember that first comment you just made," Yamato told her as he watched her fidget with the cuffs. "And I can keep to myself for ten minutes, but I love watching you get angry." He added on.

"Just, shut-up for a moment." She told him as he continued to pick at the locks.

"I'll make you a deal. You let me go and I'll get us out these cuffs faster than...well faster than, I don't know. But I can get us out of here pretty quickly." He stated his proposition as he noticed the obvious predicament.

"Not happening." She stated bluntly.

"Your loss, really...I do have the required equipment in my ship...:" Yamato trailed purposely.

"Fat chance, Ishida," she responded.

"Well, I smell like crap, mind if I take a shower?" Yamato asked

"Not even that little joke would make me change my mind." Mimi informed him.

"Heh, heh...too bad it wasn't a joke." Yamato said with a straight face.

"That's your problem then," Mimi said.

"No, Mimi, it's yours-- Where's the shower at?" Yamato questioned her as he began to search the ship.

"You can't shower now! Incase you've forgotten, we're handcuffed to one another." Mimi protested as she dragged behind him in protest.

"To be completely honest with you-- I just don't give damn...Hey, I've found it!" Yamato announced as he stopped before the restroom door.

"Look, I really see no point in you bathing at the moment. I don't." Mimi commented as she moved her eyes around the room, looking at everything except him.

"Hey, your partner even left some clothes out for me, what a nice guy." He said as he began to peel off his dusting shirt. "Dude, Just turn around and face the other direction if it bothers you that much." He said as he unbuckled his belt.

Mimi quickly and swiftly turned around as his jeans began to drop, soon after she heard water running.

Authors Notes: Only two more chapters left...And I will warn you. Rock Legend did assist me in writing the next two chapters. So if you heeded my warning in the beginning of this story, you will know what his writing style is like.

I'll tell you now; it's nothing like The Great Disappointment. He was just bored when he wrote that...His true style you will see in the following chapters.
