And now without further ado, I present the 16th chapter to 'Rebellious'

Chap 16- The shot heard around the world- well, at least to the ice cream shop.

Disclaimer: don't own it. So no suing.

"You wanna stop for some ice cream?" hitomi asked van as they walked down the street.

"Let me guess, YOU want some and YOU want ME to pay for it." Van said emphasizing you and me

"Yup. See, you're learning already." Hitomi said as she patted van on the head, earning a kiss.

"Fine, but you owe me." Van reminded her.

"Of course darlin'. Now let's go get some ice cream!!!" she squealed.

"Well, well, well. Little hitomi is still addicted to ice cream, ne?" an all too familiar voice teased.

"Midnight." Van spat out.

"Why hello I- don't-care-what's-your-name." Midnight said.

"What are you doing here midnight?" hitomi said straightforward.

"Well, well aren't we little Ms. Anxious?" midnight taunted.

"Just cut to the chase midnight. What the hell are you doing here?" hitomi said.

"I'm just getting some ice cream." He said innocently.

"Midnight. Don't play me for a fool, 'k? I know that you are lactose intolerant, and that you hate the smell of sugar anyway. So what the hell are you doing here?" hitomi asked, her patience wearing thin.

"Fine, fine, fine. I just wanted to say that…you win." Midnight said. Hitomi snorted.

"What?"

"You win." He repeated.

"Yeah like I'm gonna believe that. You most likely have a gun hidden in you left boot." Hitomi said eyeing him carefully.

"How'd ya know?" he said as he bent down to reach for it. Fortunately, van saw this and push hitomi and himself to the side, just as midnight fired.

"Are you ok hitomi?" van asked.

"Y-yeah." She replied.

"Good. Call 911" van ordered.

"What!" hitomi nearly shrieked?

"What? You have a cell. Call 911 and get the cops, what else do ya think?" van said strictly.

"No, that's the last thing I wanna do right now van." Hitomi said.

"What? Why?" Hitomi sighed.

"Because van, if you may have not realized, I'm not exactly the type of girl with a perfect clean record. If I call the cops, then both me and midnight will be arrested." Hitomi snapped.

"But what have you done?" van asked.

"I used to be in midnight's gang, remember? Even though I didn't do any thing bad, except raid a couple of shops, every one in the gang's is wanted. But I was let go, but under a warning: if I engage in any sort of contact with midnight or his gang, I'll be put in jail." Hitomi explained. "But, he's the one whose been stalkin ya!" van shouted.

"I know! One would think they would be nice to me, but you see… midnight has a couple of friends in the police." Hitomi said.

"What!!" van asked. "

Why else do ya think he's still walking around on the streets?" hitomi asked. Suddenly midnight's face appeared.

"Well, well well, makin'out in the shadows ne?" he taunted as he aimed his gun at van. "You die first." he said as his finger neared the trigger. Suddenly, a crash was heard and Midnight fell face ward. Behind him was……………………………………….

A cop holding a steel bar and next to him was the ice cream man, Mr. Jenkins.

"M-mr. Jenkins?" hitomi stuttered.

"It's alright hitomi. I heard a gun shot and saw that hooligan, so I called the cops. Hitomi paled.

'Well, so long freedom. It was nice knowin' ya.' she thought sourly.

"I must say miss, you have a very loving boyfriend to have saved you like that. Well, you guys can go home now. I'll take it from here." The police officer said.

"Wait. Aren't ya gonna like arrest me or something?" hitomi asked.

"Do you want to go to jail?" the officer asked. Hitomi shook her head. "Then you are not." The police officer replied. Hitomi just stared confused. The officer smiled.

"Don't worry. Mr. Jenkins told me your story with the gang and all, and I'll say it's fair let you go, since you did not commit a crime. Don't you think so?" he asked van.

"What? U-uh yeah sure, I think it's fair" van said quickly.

"Well, before you two go, hitomi obviously wanted some ice cream so c'mon, you both can have whatever you want. It's on the house." Mr. Jenkins said. Hitomi grinned.

"YES!!"
