(A/N: HEY! Shinigami-chan here! Nuff chit chat! YOU READ NOW!)

(Should Angel: ...wow...someone has control issues.)

(Shoulder Devil: Shut it ya airy fairy.)

(S.A.: WAAAAAAH!)


Akane gaze through the glass with a look of childlike adulation.

Her lilac eyes sparkled at the sight of the firearms, lovingly polished and laid out on velvet lined stands behind the translucent glass.

She was in that store like white on rice with a glass of milk in an albino's mouth in a snowstorm.

"Oh wow…Akane said, admiration filling her voice as she took in every inch of the rifle, "The workmanship on this 30 aught is fantastic!"

Another firearm caught her eye and she shot over to it.

"Oh MAN!" She cried, eyes flashing excitedly, "An original S&W! The First American made model! HEEE! You can NEVER find these anymore!"

"It's nice to see a girl who knows her guns." An elderly voice said smirkingly.

Akane glanced up and grinned at the old man standing behind the counter.

"Firearms, explosives and weaponry are my forte." She smiled, "You're guns are so well cared for. This is a rare thing for me to say, but I am impressed."

"Thank you kindly." He grinned. "So…what's your make? Personally, I go for H&K."

"I've always been a Taurus girl myself." Akane said eagerly.


Heero's eyes gleamed lustfully at the firearms establishment Akane was currently within.

So…many…

Duo saw that look and knew what it meant.

"Down boy." He chuckled, patting the Perfect Soldier's head.

"…you're drooling Heero." Wufei said, voice dripping with disdain.

Quatre laughed quietly into his hand as Trowa wiped away the thin line of saliva with a handkerchief.

Domino was already making his way over to the building, stealthily this time.

He pressed himself up against a car.

Sora could not help herself.

She began singing/humming the 007 "I'm-A-Sneaky-Spy" background music.


"Doo-deh-deh-doo-doo!" she sang softly as Domino shot across the street, "Doo-deh-doo-deh-doo-doo!"

Hinode heard her and began to snicker.

Duo just stared at them.

Being from another dimension, he failed to see what was so funny.

Domino pressed himself against the outside of the gun shop, and without any warning, kicked the door in.

"I FINALLY found you Miss Kakyoin!" he growled.

"Shit." Akane grumbled.

"Friend of yours?" the shopkeeper asked.

"More like a permanent pain in the ass." Akane moaned as Domino latched onto her arm and dragged her out of the store, "Personally implanted by my dearsweetbrother."


Upon seeing that Akane had been found (-koff-captured-koff-), Wufei and Duo decide settle their business with her right then and there.

They were on her faster than you can say "WHOASHIT!"

"Alright." Duo said, "What's th' deal?"

"Apologize." Wufei growled, "Or I shall see to it that you suffer all the torments of hell."

Akane smirked at them maliciously.

"In this order." She sneered, "Number One? None a yer DAMN business. And Number Two? Sounds fun."

Duo's jaw dropped.

He could not…buh-lieve…her nerve.

Wufei took several quick steps away from the midnight blue-haired teen.

"It really makes you wonder why Hideki stayed with her." Sora sighed.


"Hideki?" Duo gaped, "Waaaait...you don't mean t' tell me...SHE hadda BOYFRIEND?"

"That's a lie." Wufei snorted.

Akane glared at them in a way that would have made lesser men piss themselves.

"Just because you don't find me attractive, doesn't mean others don't." she snarled.

"Chyeah right." Duo laughed.

"Prove it." Wufei snorted haughtily.

A strange look passed over Akane's face before her lips broke into a poisonous grin.

"Fine." she smirked, "But…let's make this a little more interesting freaks."

"Oh?" Duo raised an eyebrow.

"Elaborate." Quatre pressed her, getting interested.


"I bet you…that I can round up a date faster than you losers." Akane grinned wickedly, "The loser has to be the winner's slave for the remainder of the trip. Whaddya say?"

"I say you're on!" Duo smirked, "But just how will we know who's won?"

"Walkie talkies, naturally." Akane said, rolling her eyes, "God, whadda dumbass."

Duo twitched.

Ooo, she was gonna get it one of these days.

Girl or not.

"I never back down from a challenge." Wufei growled, "Count me in woman."

"Heero's out!" Sora called.

"Yeah!" Hinode said defensively, "He's with Relena!"

"Um…I suppose it could be fun." Quatre murmured, "Trowa? Will you be participating?"

Trowa looked at the blond Arab and gave a slight inclination of the head.

"Miss Kakyoin…" Domino growled.

Akane patted the over tall man's arm.

"Chill." She said, "I promise on my title as Byakko that I'll be at Club Raro at eight o'clock sharp, 'kay?"

Domino sighed tiredly, released his grip and nodded.

Akane grinned sadistically at the G-Boys.

"See ya at eight." She snickered, darting around a corner and disappearing.


"You guys are in truh-bull." Hinode sighed, shaking her head.

"Huh?" Wufei asked, face blank.

"Whaddyou mean?" Duo asked.

"I mean that whenever she WANTS to…'wants' being the key word here…" Sora grumbled, "…Akane canamp up the charm."

"Yeah." Hinode nodded, "You guys are fine cuz she hates your guts, but any other guy had better watchhis back."

The color drained from Duo's face.

"Y-you're kiddin'…right?" He asked weakly.

They shook their heads.

"Uh-uh."

"I refuse to believe it." Wufei snapped.

Sora and Hinode exchanged looks.

"…come on." They sighed, taking off in the direction Akane had gone.


Akane scanned the streets.

"A lot of potential targets." She noted, observing the wide variety of handsome, cute, pretty, gorgeous and hot boys (Hey! What are they? Produce?)

She spotted a very likely candidate.

One who she could tell from a single glance was all looks and no brains.

The type to not ask too many questions.

Perfect arms for cuddling, too.

And to top it all off, no girlfriend (or boyfriend) in sight.


The G-Boys watched as Akane made her move.

"Here we go." Sora smiled, "Now you'll see."

Quatre observed as Akane tapped the taller boy on the shoulder.

Duo watched in amazement as they shared a brief conversation.

Wufei watched in disbelief as the boy began to blush.

Duo's jaw dropped as Akane actually (DUN DUN DUNNN) smiled...for REAL!

Quatre grinned at their stunned expressions and continued to watch.

Only seconds later Akane buzzed into their walkie talkies.

-("Mission accomplished, Animanga Freaks slash looooosers.")- She taunted.

Duo's face was contorted in shock as the unknown boy wrapped his arm around Akane's thin shoulders as the two walked off.


"How…could we lose…to her?" Wufei mumbled.

"Shuh-she takes all contests suh-suh-seriously!" Hinode howled, rolling with laughter, "She has a competitive streak a mile wide!"

Trowa looked very amused.

Quatre was already climbing to his feet.

"Whadd're you doing, Q-man?" Duo asked dully, still very much in shock that ANY sane person could find that girl attractive.

"To find a date." Quatre smiled, "I don't know about the rest of you, but the idea of being Akane's slave isn't really to my liking. If you'll excuse me."

Quatre disappeared without another word.


"Oh CRAP!" Duo cried, leaping to his feet, snapping out of his daze.

"Shit." Wufei growled, dashing off.

Trowa merely stared after them.

He looked from Hinode to Sora.

"It seems…they've forgotten the fact…that you yourselves are girls." He said evenly.

The two nodded and sighed.

"Would you be my dates then?" he asked calmly.

They instantly brightened.

"Of COURSE we will!" they squealed, glomming onto him.

Heero looked at him.

He shook his head and smirked.

"Tooo easy."
