Chapter One

Chapter one

Nonon Jakuzure, knew that she wasn't strong.

She knew that underneath her arrogance, sharp tongue, and fearsome Goku uniform, that she was rather powerless.

Well… she knew that wasn't entirely true, but she doubted that her sound negation would help, especially now.

After her little… boat trip, she ended up waking up in some city back alley, surrounded by thugs.

'Shit… these pigs are still behind me… here!'

As she's running, she takes a sudden sharp turn, going to a different part of the alley.

'Hopefully there's a… exit… here…'

Trailing her eyes down the long alley, she can only be disappointed at the absence of an exit, or rather, the presence of a large wall blocking her way.

'Dead end…'

Pivoting on her foot, she spins around, prepared to start running again but.

"Heh, you sure did give us some trouble, girly!"

As the sun just behind the wall raises from behind her, lighting up the entrance of the alleyway, three suited men appear from the darkness.

With two men infront him, as if acting as guards, was a man in a black suit and tie, with golden blond hair sweeper to the side, a small smile on his face. The two other men are rather nondescript, both having black hair wearing black suits as well as dark, heavily tinted glasses.

"To think such a small thing could incapacitate two of my men…"

Saying this, his face twists into a crazed smile, his eyes going to pinpoints. At the same time Nonon tenses her legs, ready to run away at a moment's notice.

'I might not be strong but I'm sure as hell fast…'

Then, the mans face turned stone cold, completely calm, yet just behind his stoic expression, one could easily tell an undesirable rage was burning.

Turning around, the darkness of the alleyway covers his face, a single red peering back at her in the dark as the man stuffs a cigarette in his mouth.

"Kill her."

Just those two words and the men at the front had already pulled out their guns, SMGs of a compact design with a wire stock and extended mags.

And then, lead filled her vision.

As her body tenses, her eyes shrinking, her whole body freezing, everything around her seems to slow to a stop as her mind races, trying to figure out how to get out of this one.

'Not… Fast enough…'

'Not… Strong enough…'

'I can't do anything…'

'Im… Dead…'

Coming to that single thought, Nonon closes her eyes as the time around her starts to flow again, her mind calming down as it had reached a decision.

…

'Tch, as if!'

Snapping her eyes open, a sudden dark barrier expands from herself, causing her nearby surroundings to darken slightly.

'[Nonon, Sound negation!]'

As the bullets hit the barrier, nothing happens as they faze straight through, yet she can tell otherwise.

'Even if it's just a little… the impact from my sound negation barrier and the bullets caused a decrease in their force… even if only a little, they're slower!'

As the bullets approach, her mind running at its fullest, a heavy sigh escapes her heart.

'This is gonna hurt…'

CRUNCH

As the sound of bullets crumpling into the alleyway wall echoes throughout the alleyway, the two suited men lower their guns, reloading them in the process.

Quietly, they wait as the dust from their bullets settle, trying to confirm the kill. Yet as the dust falls, their shock rises.

"W-where is she!?"

The only thing left behind from their attack was a bullet ridden wall. Rays of den peaking through the holes in the wall, piercing through the darkness of the alley.

"Damn… BELOW YOU!"

At the sudden shout of their boss, the two men move their guns downward, only…

"Huh?"

Feeling resistance, the man looks down towards the barrel of his gun, seeing it being gripped firmly by someone's hand.

Looking down he finally spots Nonon, her jacket tattered and ripped, her hair covering her face.

'Nearly a dozen grazes… And a hit… But I did it…'

Ignoring the sharp pain in her abdomen she lets out a slight sigh.

"right… I'll be taking this, glasses!"

BANG CRACK

"Ugh…"

Slamming her knee into the man's crotch, she wrenches the gun away from him at the same time. Looking at the man on his knees, she flips the gun in her hand into the correct position-

BRRRRRT

-before filling his body with lead.

As the mans body falls backwards, riddled with holes, Nonon suddenly throughs her body to the left, towards the other end of the alley.

Glancing back she sees as her previous spot had been filled with bullets, turning her eyes towards the other man, the one who had shot at her.

BRRRRT

With little remorse, she removes the other man with pinpoint accuracy.

'Good thing I've shot a gun before… These guys though… They're worse shots than a blind monkey…'

Turning towards the last man, the blonde, she prepares to fire the gun again.

CLICK CLICK.

'No ammo? Guess it's time to end this show…'

Tossing the gun to the side, she prepares to make a break for it, intending on running past the last man and escaping.

BANG

Just as she was about to start running, a single gunshot stopped her right on her tracks as a bullet hit the space just in front of her, on the ground.

"Sorry girl, I can't let you go…"

Looking up towards the blonde, she's surprised to see him turned towards her slightly, a handgun pointed at her as smoke rises out from it's tip.

Seeing that he had succeeded in stopping her the man smiles lightly, slipping the gun back into his suit pocket as he turns around, walking away. Stopping a moment he takes the cigarette out of his mouth, blowing out a puff of some before tossing the cigarette behind him.

'What is he d-'

Eyes widening, mouth agape, Nonon witnesses as the cigarette suddenly burst into flames as it falls, and eventually, when it hits the ground-

FWSHHHH

-a torrent of flames fills the alleyway, returning everything to ash.
