A Pig’s Reward A Side Story by Ryuujin Tatsu and XxGigasboltxX Note: {} indicate telepathic thought. Kai: *Sits at a table alone in a crowded and dark bar. Wanting to earn some money, he snuck out to catch some bounties.* Sakura: *bored with just sitting at home all the time while Satsuki and Kanoe go out and hunt bounties and stuff, has left the house and is now looking for a place where she can go and have a little fun* *Elsewhere in the city, Yoshi Sinjo, a wanted felon, is executing his next big crime.* Kai: *sits at bar wearing a black tanktop and black jeans, waiting for a potential bounty to come* Sinjo: *Stands outside of the doors of an art museum, places some C4 on the handles, then steps back. He presses an activator and the doors explode.* It's all too easy... Sakura: *finds a place that looks pretty nice and ducks in* Hmm... this club looks all right... Kai: *drinks soda* Damn, nobody is even looking my direction... Maybe I should just wander around fighting crime... Kai: *laughs to himself* Sinjo: *Pulls off a successful job and decides to go out and celebrate tonight. Maybe he could even find a lucky slut to take home...* Kai: *gets up from his table in the corner and goes up to the bar for another drink* Sakura: *looks around, sipping her cooler, then double-takes* Kai?! Is that you? Kai: Sakura? What are you doing here? Is Kanoe here? Sakura: Nah, K-chan's busy doing something with Satsuki... I was home alone, so I decided to come out. What are you doing here? Spending some time with Sailor Bob? Kai: Nope, he’s sleeping. I wanted to sneak off and get a bounty on my own... Sakura: Aaah... A little excitement in your life? Kai: ^-^;;; I would rather be at home keeping Bob-chan company. Kai: But I want some money. Kai: Nobody has even looked at me twice, though... Kai: Wanna help? Sakura: Sure... You have any suspects picked out? Kai: Well, the bounty list had a thief who goes here... It isn't a very high bounty, but it still is money... Sakura: Is he here? Kai: Not yet... Sakura: Okay... So, what's my job if he comes? Kai: Well, if he isn't gay, you could try to get him to leave with you... Sinjo: Hmm... I think I'll hit one of my old hot spots tonight... *drops into the bar, not loudly, trying not to make an impression* Sinjo: *a small star tattoo under his left eye is one of the only things about him that could tie him to his identity as a major criminal* Kai: *looks around the bar* Kai: Ummm... What exactly can you do with your powers? Sakura: Well... I like to call it "persuasion." I can make people think stuff... influence them... and, I can paralyze them. Sometimes even zap them if I'm worked up enough. Kai: OK. Kai: Can you read minds? Sakura: Yeah, that too. Kai: That could be pretty useful. ^-^;; Kai: *spots the bounty sitting at a table in the corner* There he is... Sakura: Heh... Kai: ?.? Sakura: *looks, sees a bald guy with a star tattoo* That him? Kai: Yeah. Sakura: All right... So, what, all I have to do is convince him to take me home, then leave the club? Kai: Can you check his mind to see if he’s gay or not? Sakura: Yeah, sure... *begins to scan* Sakura: Well, he just finished a big heist, and he's looking for a slut to take home... Not gay. Sakura: Oh, and he's already checking out the blonde bimbo with the big breasts... Kai: 9.9 Kai: Go and talk to him... Try to lean over a lot also... Kai: *blushes* Sinjo: *makes a rather lewd comment to the blonde with the big breasts, gets slapped* Bitch... Sakura: So, you want me to use my body to wile him? Well, it's been a while since I did this to a guy... Kai: ^-^;;; Well, either that or you could use your powers to make him gay. Sakura: I can't do that much... Oh well, I'll give it my best shot... *adjusts her top and hikes her skirt up a bit, creating a mini-skirt* Kai: *watches his soda* Sakura: *smiles like she's just gone braindead and bounces over towards Yoshi's table* Kai: *blushes again, thinking about what she is doing* Sakura: Hi! *waves at him a little bit, then sits down* Sinjo: *Raises an eyebrow and looks at her. He takes a scrutinizing look at her body, then smirks and makes the same lewd comment he did a moment ago.* Sakura: *speaks back, just as lewd as he is, then smiles at him and gives him a come-hither look* Sakura: *The two of them walk out of the bar arm in arm. She signals Kai somehow to follow them.* Kai: *finishes his soda quickly and follows* Sakura: *is leading the man on, laughing at his stupid jokes and basically acting like a slut* Kai: *fingers gun in his sleeve as he follows, hoping he is taking her back to his place* Sinjo: *not paying attention to anything but Sakura* Sinjo: *stops in front of an apartment building, goes up and opens the door for her* Sakura: *speaking telepathically to Kai* {Kai, what do I do? Go to his room with him?} Kai: Yeah... try to use compulsion on him to take his time or something... I'll be there in a minute... Sakura: *Enters the building with him. She follows him up to his room, beginning to wonder what Kai is planning.* Sinjo: *goes into his room, shoves Sakura in after him* All right, slut... Take off your clothes... Let's see what you're hiding under there. Sakura: *angry at him* Back off, jerk... I don't know if I wanna do this anymore. Kai: *goes up the stairs to his door and knocks* Sinjo: Feh... Lucky bitch... *walks over to the door, swings it open, still talking to Sakura* I'm not done with you yet... Kai: Hello! I moved in downstairs. I just came to say hi! ^-^ Sinjo: What? You interrupt me for something that stupid? Get outta my face, kisama... *shoves Kai, then turns back to Sakura* Now... Kai: *presses the muzzle of his gun to his head and cocks it* That isn't a very polite thing to do. Sakura: *smiles* Sinjo: The Hell? *stays very still* What are you, her keeper? Fine, you can have her... Kai: *tosses Sakura a camera* Take pictures of anything that looks stolen. ^-^ Sakura: *adjusts her clothing back to the way it was, catches the camera* Gotcha... *begins snapping photos* Sinjo: Oh... Oh, what is this? Some kinda raid? Kai: Raid? No, of course not. Sinjo: Then what...? Kai: *takes his wallet and takes out all the money and throws away the wallet* I am a bounty hunter... Sinjo: Damnit! Bounty hunter!! Who the Hell is she, then? Kai: My sidekick. ^-^ Sakura: *finishes up* Taken pictures of every stolen item. I picked the right ones out of his mind... Kai: Okay. Kai: *pushes him into the closest corner* Don't move. Sinjo: You sunnavabitch... *begins sliding a hand down towards his pants, the movement shielded from sight by the wall* Kai: If you brought home my friend Kanoe, you would be long dead but I’d rather just mark you and get my money. Sinjo: Heh... That's where you made your mistake... *Turns, a hidden handgun in his hand. He levels it and fires right towards Kai.* Kai: !.! *dives to his right instinctively* Sakura: *unfortunately, was standing to Kai's right* Uoof! *is knocked down* Kai: *takes a snap shot in his general direction* Sinjo: Well, isn't this just perfect... I'll shoot you both - *ducks the shot* - with one bullet... *levels the gun* Say your prayers. Sakura: *grabs the camera and takes his picture, the flash going off* Sinjo: AGH! My eyes! *begins to rub them* I can't see!! Kai: *aims his shot this time and hits Yoshi's wrist* Sinjo: OW! DAMNIT! *drops the gun, his hand limp* Kai: Strip! Sinjo: What? Kai: Strip off all your clothing. Or I will shoot your heart this time. Sinjo: *muttering under his breath, he does as he was told, although it takes a while because only one of his hands is working* Kai: *grabs his gun and clothes and gives them to Sakura* Think I should kill him or just leave him tied up for when the police come? Sakura: *giggles when he finishes* I don't know... *takes the gun and clothes* What do you think? Kai: I don't feel like killing him... Kai: *to Yoshi* Turn around. Sinjo: *does so* Cold-hearted bitch... Can't believe I hit on her... Sakura: Do you think he should be killed? Because if you do, I'll do it... Kai: He is only a worthless thief... I would kill him if he had raped someone or something... Sakura: All right... Let's just tie him up and leave, then... After you mark him. Kai: *knocks him unconscious, then uses his clothes to tie him up, then marks him so he will get the bounty* Kai: How much of the bounty do you want? Sakura: Oh, you don't have to give me any. I get my money from K-chan. Kai: OK. Sakura: But Kai. Kai: ? Sakura: Remind me never to go out with you again... Okay? *smiles after she says it* Kai: ^-^;; I'm sure going out with Kanoe is more exciting. Sakura: *sighs* You don't know the half of it... *offers him her arm* Kai: *takes it* I hope you don't look into my mind much... Unless you want to see stuff about Bob-chan. ^_^ Sakura: I don't invade people's privacy, unless they ask... *winks at him, then they walk out of the door together* *The scene fades...* Credits: Sakura: XxGigasboltxX Kai: Ryuujin Tatsu Sinjo: XxGigasboltxX
