Rated: PG-13 for mild violence and yaoi
NOTE TO READERS: Hi, Readers! Chapter 4 already! Awesome, ne? Sorry for how pitiful Chapter 3 was, I'll try to make it up with this one. Lines between paragraphs mean scene/time transitions (including flashbacks which will be written in past tense). Translations for Japanese phrases will be at the end of the chapter. Oh, and I don't own Get Backers, any of the characters, etc.
DISCLAIMER: If you didn't read the Note to Readers here it is again: I don't own the Get Backers, any of the characters, etc. I just own the fanfic.
CHAPTER 4: Is He Really, OK?
Ginji and Akabane walk down the deathly silent hall. It wouldn't be so bad to Ginji if he 1) wasn't alone with Akabane and 2) he felt bad about Akabane still coming with him when he's wounded. Ginji gives a guilty pout and says, "Akabane-san? Are you really OK?" Akabane stops and looks at Ginji, a little pale.
"I will be fine," he smiles. He can't turn back now, even if it is painful.
"You should leave when Ban-chan catches up," Ginji states. Akabane bled quite a bit, how could he be OK? Ginji didn't mind helping someone who bled that much, but Akabane? He's... what, scary?
"I won't quit this job, I'm too far in now," Akabane leans against the wall, "Why are you so worried, Ginji-kun?" A little blood started to seep through the cloth "bandages".
"Akabane-san, it's getting worse! We should leave!" Chibi Ginji grabs Akabane's hand to drag him out of the fortress. Sadly his chibi feet can't reach the ground so he just kind of hangs there for a second before flailing pitifully to reach the ground, "Akabane-saan!" Akabane holds the chibi up so they're eye-level.
"Do you really want to leave, Ginji-kun?"
"Mm," Ginji nods his head yes. A shadowy figure walks up to chibi Ginji and Akabane and puts a hand on Ginji's shoulder, who immediately lets go of Akabane's hand, turns full size, shocks the figure, and screams, "AAAGGGGHHHHH! LET"S GET OUTTA HERE, AKABANE-SAN!" Ginji then grabs Akabane and drags him down the stairs to the second floor.
(What was that about!?) Ban wonders, stunned at getting shocked by Ginji, (I finally find them and they run off!)
"That was way too close!" Ginji gasps, "This job is too dangerous!"
"I have to admit, the difficulty is more than I expected," Akabane agrees, looking at the worried blonde.
"Where do you think Ban-chan is?"
"Good question. He has a cell phone, right?"
"Hai, we share one and he has it."
"Alright," Akabane pulls out a black cell phone, "What is the number, Ginji-kun?"
"653-8812," Ginji recalls, as Akabane dials the number.
"Hello, Midou Ban-kun. We are withdrawing now. I've sustained an injury. Meet us at the Café when you are able to," Akabane hangs up and puts away his cell phone.
"Is he OK with us leaving?"
"I wouldn't know. I left voice mail because he didn't answer his phone."
"You should've left your number, Akabane-san."
"No need to worry, Ginji-kun. He'll understand our predicament."
"Oh good, the cell phone didn't get fried," Ban smiles, finally some good luck. He turns it on and notices that, "Hey, I have voice mail."
'Hello, Midou Ban-kun. We are withdrawing now. I've sustained an injury. Meet us at the Café when you are able to.' BEEEP...
"WHAT!? THEY'RE DITCHING ME HERE!? NO WAY!"
"I hope Ban-chan will understand," Ginji smiles. A familiar shriek starts to sound. Ginji cowers, "Not that psycho Protector again! Let's get out of here quick!"
"Hai, Ginji-kun."
A shriek can be heard across the hallway. "Huh?" Ban looks across the hallway, it's too dark to see completely across, he smirks, "Sounds like someone is picking a fight they can't handle... Show yourself!"
Chapter 4 is done! I think this one is the shortest yet, I'm really sorry. I write as I go, so that's why it sounds so spontaneous. Poor Ban is still alone, gomen Ban fans (I'm also a Ban fan, so I feel guilty). Read and Review! No flames, but advice is appreciated.
Cold Rain: Whoa, it sounds like Ban is underestimating the Protector, ne?
Ginji: Is Ban-chan in trouble, Rain-chan?
Cold Rain: Sorry, but you're not supposed to know.
Ginji: Rain-chaan! turns into flailing chibi Tell meee!
