I do not own Azumanga Daioh.
"Help me!!" Osaka screamed out the window as she struggled against her ropes. "No use yelling, pretty thing. You might as well sit back and enjoy it." Yukari laughed as she sat down and placed her gun on the table, looking dead at the pretty songbird.
"You're so mean!" The brown-eyed girl sniffed, her eyes glassy with tears. "How can you be so mean and ornery?" Yukari sighed and lifted the brim of her hat.
"Well, little girl, It all started when my man left me for another woman, and I couldn't have that. So I decided if I didn't get him, no one would." Yukari strummed her fingers on the table. "And then I got addicted to killing and robbing soon after." She chuckled evilly.
Osaka sniffed and shivered. "Don't worry, I'll won't hurt you; In fact, I'll hold you for ransom." Yukari laughed evilly as Osaka whimpered in fear.
Meanwhile, Tomo and Minamo were riding out into the desert, hoping to find Yukari's hidey hole. " Hey, Nyamo? What do you think Yukari looks like? Is she ugly? Or crazy? Or just plain weird?" The sheriff asked her deputy. "I reckon with the way she lives, she must be a dirty-faced varmint." Minamo sighed. "And don't call me Nyamo!" Soon, night set in the desert.
The two stopped and set up a campfire. "This is a mighty good fire," Tomo sighed. "And just the right fire to warm my feet." "Sheriff, someone's coming towards us." The duo looked at a young girl in a pink dress riding towards them. "Oh, hello there! I was wandering around and just happened to notice your campfire." "What's your name, stranger?" Tomo asked.
"My name is Kaorin and you two are the prettiest ladies I ever did set my eyes on." She winked at them. Minamo shivered suddenly. "What brings you here?" She asked.
Kaorin smiled. "I was just looking for this beautiful girl..." She held up a warrant poster with a girl's face on it. "Eagle-Eye Sakaki, the woman I'm destined to marry...!" Kaorin sighed in bliss. The duo widened their eyes.
"Eagle-Eye" Sakaki was wanted in six counties and her bounty was $20,000! The two looked at the lovesick girl, then to each other.
"Stranger, what coffee would you like?" Tomo hestiantly asked. "Oh, just decaf for little ol' me." The two looked at each other, then back to Kaorin. "You know, stranger? I think it would be best for all of us if you just rode on tonight." Tomo advised. Kaorin frowned and huffed. "Fine! You two smell like horses and dirt anyway! Hmph!" With that, she sped off.
"She was riding a side saddle, wasn't she?" Minamo blinked. "Well, Deputy, I reckon that's why they call them strangers." Tomo sighed and lay down to sleep. Minamo shrugged and did the same.
Soon, a new day would dawn and the duo would be closer to nabbing Yukari the Kid.
