Gone

By Enchanted Echoes.

I know It's been a short while since I plublished the story but I'm going to be out a pair of days and I wanted you to read this while I''m gone xD. Anyway let's star this.

Chapter 2. Get Back!

Ban stepped his buggy's accelerator, he was following a special route Paul had created to reach the kidnappers truck in matter of time. A bit of luck will be enough to finally get to their objective.

If Hevn info was true, Natsumi was in really danger, especially because he was with her…

- That lunatic of Akabane… - he muttered

- I'm worried for Natsumi, do you think she will be okay? - asked Ginji

- She's just being transported. But if they manage to get to Okinawa, I can't tell what could happen.

Ban accelerated even more. He drove like a NASCAR racer, barely dodging he other cars, but he didn't care.

Ginji looked out at the window thoughtfully, not that he could see something threw it. Ban was driving to fast to being able to see anything clearly. Besides it wasn't the moment to enjoy the panorama, he was afraid. Afraid of having to fight with that psycho mass-killer, and afraid of what could happen if they failed. He shook his head at the though. They couldn't fail. It had been Natsumi the one who saved them from boring and starve. She even had pasted banners at her school about the Get Backers so they increased they job rate, of course they had spend time looking stupid things, like pens and notebooks or missing cell phones, but at least they had win some yens.

- Don't worry Ginji, we're going to bring her back.

- Why are you acting so apprehensive? I'm not going to hurt you- said Akabane, looking at the girl he had in front, provoking a slight frown on her face.

Natsumi had been looking at Akabane doubtfully the entire time, thinking a million ways to escape. There was no way she would trust in a man like him, Ginji was afraid of him for a reason, and Ginji didn't get scare easily, did him?

She changed, as she could, of position, her legs had started to ache. This whole trip was really uncomfortable as she barely moved.

- Maybe you'll feel better if I take that off of you- he said, standing up.

Natsumi pushed herself backwards trying to avoid the man, unproductively. Akabane placed his hand over Natsumi's left cheek making her quiver at his cold touch (A/N: I know he uses gloves but blah!)

- I've told you. I'm not going to hurt you- and he pulled away the tape on her mouth- unless you get noisy.

Natsumi was shocked, she knew the guy was a bloodlust, merciless serial killer. She never expected to see such a gentle gesture from him. Maybe he wasn't that bad. No! That couldn't be possible. This must be part of a plan…

-Why you did that?- she asked fiercely.

-No reason at all- answered Akabane calmly, returning to the corner he was sitting moments ago- It's a long trip.

-"What he mean by that?"- thought Natsumi, now really confused. He looked at the mans face, he was smiling.

Ginji was now looking trough the rooftop of the buggy, seeking the truck Natsumi was in.

- Ban-chan I think I see the Truck- said Ginji happily.

Ban grinned.

- Perfect. Let's catch 'em up -

Natsumi looked silently through the truck's little window when she saw Ban's buggy approach. Her eyes opened widely and her heart filled with hope.

-" I'll get out from here"- she thought – " Ban, Ginji…."

Akabane let a short laugh go out of his lips. He stood up and went out without Natsumi could notice.

- Whaaat??- She yelled in surprise- How he did that? …. And where he went?-

The truck wouldn't stop, even when they were being attacked by Ginji. Natsumi heard steps all over the roof and an electric noise. She looked back at the window, the buggy was now attached to the truck's defense and Ban was getting there too.

The fight took long. Natsumi was only able to hear the loudest noises, but she knew things weren't going that well. Even when she desperately wished to get out there.

Luckily for her, her wish came true after a few moments. A strong noise came from the roof, then a crystal was broken and the truck stopped abruptly. The back doors of the truck were opened and Ginji came in. With a bad appearance, tough. He had several injuries and he was bleeding badly.

Ginji unleashed her hands and feet.

- Hurry, we only have little time- he said.

Both jumped out of the truck and ran to the buggy. Ban appeared suddenly and entered quickly, he had many injuries too. They fled from the place as fast as they could.

- I knew you'll come for me- said Natsumi as happy as ever.

Ban and Ginji smiled, but they knew this wasn't over yet.

Akabane woke up in the truck's windshield. They had knocked him out for a short instant. He grabbed his hat and placed it at the top of his head again.

- Interesting- was all what he said.
