Bloody Crush!

Rated: PG-13 for mild violence and yaoi

NOTE TO READERS: Hi, Readers! Sorry this took so long, I've been very busy lately. 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 12: When Will They Learn?

Ginji turns into a chibi, takes out his "happiness" fans, and starts to perform his happy fan dance, "Yay! Akabane! Akabane! Akabane-chan! Akabane-chan is back! He- is- back!"

"My, my, how amusing," Akabane comments with his usual smile; he tugs down his hat while watching Ginji through the slit that is now one of his trademark fashion statements.

After his dance is finished, Ginji turns full size again and smiles at Akabane while blushing very cutely, "Akabane-chan, you won't leave soon, will you?"

Akabane gives a hint of a smile (since he already had one on his face, it looks like a smirk), "Well, I was thinking I would take on another mission soon; I would be grateful if you come, too."

Ginji looks over at Ban, who has finally calmed down since the "incident" about a minute ago, then looks back at Akabane, "I'd like to go, but, um, is the pay good? Ban-chan and I are broke."

"Of cours-"

"I don't need your sympathy!" Ban shoots a venomous glare at Akabane, then grabs Sorin's hand and states, "Sorin and I will go on a mission! I bet he's more dependable than you guys! He won't ditch me in a fortress!"

Sorin gives a surprised look at Ban and starts to look around in confusion, surely Ban doesn't mean him, they're supposed to be rivals, "What, me?"

Ban drags Sorin over to the farthest corner of the Café and gives a frightening glare where no one but Sorin can see it, "Yes, you. You will go on a mission with me."

"What's in it for me?" Sorin bluntly asks.

"Want another illusion from the Evil Eye?" Ban smiles, it's frightening the way he can turn a smile into an intimidating scene like that...

"Alright, I'll help. Just don't bite my head off..." Sorin retorts sarcastically, then adds in a low voice, "You'll do anything to spite Akabane, won't you? This is pitiful..." The green eyed fighter then walks up to Akabane and matter-of-factly says, "Ban and I will be sure to help you guys when you we're done with a huge mission. You and your blonde better stay alive until then..."

Sorry it's so short, but oh well, I have a lot to work with idea-wise because of this chapter. I'll try to make the next one bloody brilliant. Oh well, Read and review! Voice your opinion, but no flames, OK?

Cold Rain: Score one for Sorin-kun and Ban-chan! (Writes one tally mark under their side of the "Authoress of Doom Score Board".)

Akabane: Then that means Ginji-kun and I will have to earn a hefty reward from our mission.

Cold Rain: Yup.
