Morrigan Aensland stares at her 'sister', formed by the half of her power that her father took from her. "In Darkrealm? No. There's a reason why this is the land of the dead, you know, because this place is truly dead!"

"Well, let's go to Earthrealm then. It's been a while since we been there. We should find ourself a strong soul instead of staying here in this castle."

"Um you know what? I have a target in mind already. Why don't we have a little race? Whoever steals his soul first wins."

Lilith grinned. "You got yourself a deal. Let's go,"

Kaori turned around, getting ready to leave when a teenage girl walked up to the board and picked up a chalk. Kaori gasped as the girl started writing the letter 'X', then 'Y', then 'Z'.

Kaori glanced at the girl. Business! Yes! But she's a cute one. I don't think I want to have Ryo anywhere near her. Ryo is afterall known as the #1 pervert here. He won't be able to think straight with this girl around. But we need money..argh what the heck I'll just keep an eye on Ryo. "Excuse me, you're looking for City Hunter?" she asked the girl.

The girl turned to Kaori. "Yes, and who are you?"

Kaori studied the girl. She was wearing a red leather jacket, a white tank top and a matching red leather mini-shirt. Her socks were knee-high and she was wearing red high heel shoes. Her hair is short with chunky layers. At least she's kind of flat-chested. Maybe Ryo won't go too crazy for her. "I'm the person you're hiring,"

"You?" she looked at Kaori and giggled. "No offence, but I was thinking you'd look more, um, masculine."

Kaori stared at her with disbelief, her face turning red. She thought I'm a guy! "Um, I think you are mistaking me with my partner, Ryo Saeba. My name is Kaori Makimura."

"Oh! You're a girl! Sorry, I thought City Hunter refers to a guy only. So where is Mr.Ryo?"

"We'll go find him now. What's your name?"

"Lilith. Lilith Aensland."

"Hey Falcon. Where's Ryo? He said he'd be here," Kaori asked.

"He was here, not anymore."

"Where did he go?"

"He heard a radio commerical of a grand opening of a new restaurant down the block so he went there,"

"What restaurant?"

"Go down there and see for yourself."

"Fine." Kaori turned to Lilith. "Let's go, Miss Lilith,"

She answered her own question when she arrived.

"Argh! No wonder Ryo came here! A restaurant filled with big-chested girls! This is his heaven!" Kaori read the sign placed in the entrance. " 'The famous Hooters Restaurant from North America has hit Japan!' How can they open a restaurant like this here!"

Suddenly, she heard a girl's scream. Kaori looked inside and saw Ryo lifting up the skirt of a waitress. The waitress screamed as she ran away, with Ryo chasing behind her.

"My beauty, come back!" Ryo spreads his arms as he chased the waitress.

"RYO!!!!!"

Hearing his name, Ryo turned around and caught a glimpse of Kaori charging at him with a 1 tonne steel mallet. "NOOOOOOO!" he screamed as Kaori slammed the mallet on him.

"You pervert! I can't take my eyes off you for a minute can I?" Kaori dragged the fallen Ryo out the door. "We have work to do. Come meet our new client."

"Client? Better be a beautiful girl," Ryo said. He stood up and saw Lilith. Lilith gave him a warm smile.

Struck by her cuteness, Ryo quickly went to Lilith's side. "Wow Kaori you really chose a great client this time!" he took Lilith's hand. "Ryo Saeba at your service," he said, trying hard not to drool over her.

Kaori taps Ryo's shoulder. "Keep your hands off her," she said coldly.

Staring at the 1 tonne mallet Kaori was holding, Ryo dropped Lilith's hand. "Man I can never have fun with you around,"

"That's because anything you consider 'fun' is never appropriate!"

Lilith giggled. "It's ok, Miss Kaori." she stared down the street. "Ah, here comes my sister."

"Your sister?" Kaori turned to the direction Lilith was looking at and saw a long haired girl walking towards them. She looked about 20 years old, wearing a grey tank top with a mini-skirt, clearly showing her body figure. Oh great, this girl even has a bigger chest. I'll have a tough time keeping Ryo from them.

"WOW," Ryo stared at Lilith's sister, wide eyed and drooling. I'm going to have fun with this job! Look at this two hot sisters! If only I can get rid of Kaori.

"Meet my sister, Morrigan Aensland." Lilith introduced.

Ryo, too love-struck to say anything, remain motionless. Morrigan smiled. This is going to be so easy.

"So, Miss Morrigan and Miss Lilith, what do you need us for?" she asked after they were seated at a table.

"Well, you see, me and my sister are here for vacation. We'd thought we should get a bodyguard to protect us, since we are strangers to this place." Morrigan explained. "The streets nowadays are not safe for two young girls like us."

"Exactly. And I'l protect you two every inch of the way." Ryo took Lilith's and Morrigan's hand. "And when you get tired I know a few hotels where we can-" the next thing he knows is a 100 tonne wooden hammer slamming on his head.

"Can't you ever get serious about anything?!" Kaori said, lifting the hammer back up, exposing the flatten Ryo.

Ryo moaned. "I was just joking."

"Joking? You expect me to believe that? Miss Morrigan, I think it's better for me to protect you and your sister alone. You'll never be safe around him."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO I want this job!!!"

"Since when are you so eager to work?"

"Miss Kaori, it's ok. I'm sure it will be better to have Mr. Ryo around," Lilith said. This girl is not going to spoil our race.

"But-"

"YOU HEARD THAT KAORI?" Ryo stood up and gave a teasing smile to Kaori. "We MUST obey the demands of our clients," he turns to Lilith. "Now Miss Lilith, need not to worry, I'll not leave you sight for one second."

Lilith smiled. "Okay then. Let's go back to our hotel suite. I'm tired."

"HOTEL?" Ryo eyes widen. "Sure!!!! Let's go!"

Kaori slapped her head with her hand. I'm going to have a major headache.

"Well, you think it's approriate to have a guy sleeping in the same room with two girls?" Kaori said.

"BUT I'M THEIR BODYGUARD!!"

"We'll call you when we need you," Kaori dragged Ryo down the hall and to his room. She shoved him into the room and slammed the door. "Now you stay in there!"

"NOOOOOOO! Morri, Lilly, wait for me!"

"No one will be waiting for you." Kaori went back to Morrigan and Lilith's suite. "Don't worry, Miss Morrigan and Miss Lilith. He won't be bothering you two."

"But isn't it better for him to be here?" Morrigan asked. This girl is interfering with our race.

"No. Definity not." These two girls are so clueless of what a perverted monster Ryo can be. Kaori thought. I guess wealthy girls are always clueless. These girls must be wealthy to afford a hotel suite with a living room. "And to be secure," Kaori took out some explosives and hooked it to the doorknob. "There."

Morrigan and Lilith stared at Kaori, eyes widened with a disbelief look. Kaori saw their expressions and asked "What's wrong?"

"Um, nothing," Lilith stammered. Is it just me or is this girl being paranoid?

Morrigan glanced at Lilith. Lilith shrugged, not knowing what to do about Kaori. I guess I'll pay Ryo a visit when Kaori is asleep, Morrigan thought.

Lilith looked into the eyes of Morrigan. She's probably planning to sneak into Ryo's room and steal his soul. Well, not if I go there first.

Ryo set his feet quietly onto the floor. I'm in! He looked up and saw Lilith. Almost immediately, his eyes were widen and mouth was watering. "Miss Lilith! What are you doing up so late?"

Lilith gave him a sexy smile. "I couldn't sleep. I was thinking of you,"

"ME?!?!?!?!"

"Yes," Lilith walks up to him and placed her hands on his chin. "I'm attracted to you, you know."

"REEEEEEEALLY?!?!?!" Ryo was so stunned that he could barely keep his balance. He flapped his arms to keep himself from falling.

"Yes," Lilith whispered and pulled Ryo's face closer to hers. Your soul is mine now.

Suddenly the door opened and Morrigan came in and saw Lilith and Ryo. Lilith was getting ready to take Ryo's soul. Why is Ryo here? Hope I'm not too late. "Lilith!"

Startled, Lilith and Ryo turned to Morrigan. I was so close! Lilith thought.

"Morrigan? Where did you go?"

"I felt lonely so I went looking for you,"

"MEEEEEEEEE?!?!?!" Ryo stares at the two sisters. Wow, two hot sisters has the hots for me!!!

"Morrigan, leave us alone!" Lilith demanded to her sister.

"Leave you alone? You should leave me and Ryo alone, kid!"

"Hey, hey, calm down," Ryo puts one arm around Lilith and one arm around Morrigan. "We can ALL stay,"

Hearing noise in the living room, Kaori stepped out of her room. "What's with all the noise?" Then she saw Ryo sandwiched between Morrigan and Lilith. "WHAT THE?!?!?!"

"Kaori! I-I-I..."

"RYO!!!!!!!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING HERE!!!!!" Swinging the 100 tonne hammer, she batted Ryo out the door. "AND DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT COMING BACK!!!!!!"

Lilith and Morrigan glanced at each other. This girl is going to be a major pain.

"Um, Miss Kaori, are you sure you can handle this?" Morrigan asked as the waitress cleared their table.

"Yes, I can protect you two no problem. This guy won't be much help anyways," Kaori replied, indicating Ryo with bandages all over his body. "Look at him, he looks like a mummy,"

"THAT'S BECAUSE OF YOUR HAMMER SWING LAST NIGHT!!!" Ryo shrieked.

"WELL SERVES YOU RIGHT FOR SNEAKING INTO OUR ROOM!"

"Um are you sure Mr. Ryo will be ok? He looks badly hurt," Lilith said.

"Don't worry about him, he'll be fine after a day or two," Kaori paid the waitress and got up. "Well, Ryo, you can go back to your room now as I take Miss Morrigan and Miss Lilith out,"

Ryo stuck his head up high and walked out of the restaurant. You can't keep me from having my fun, Kaori.

"Well, Morrigan, what are we going to do?" Lilith asked.

"Just sit back and relax. I have a feeling our prey is going to come to us,"

"Huh?" She went to investigate and saw Ryo searching through Morrigan and Lilith's luggage. He didn't hear her come in and she took a step to take a closer look.

Ryo was holding a pile of Morrigan's and Lilith's underwear in his arms.

"Ryo, what do you think you're doing?" Kaori asked in a cold voice.

Hearing Kaori's voice, Ryo turned around uneasily. "Um, I'm, um, looking for, um, evidence!"

"Of?"

"Of, um, anything! Doesn't this two sister seems strange to you?"

"YOU'RE THE STRANGE ONE HERE!" Kaori yelled.

Ryo didn't even have a chance to react when the hammer hits him.

"It's very nice," Lilith replied.

"Yeah," Morrigan agreed. Too bad I don't really care, all I care about is Ryo's soul. She turned her head as she sensed someone following them. She saw three dark figures coming up behind them. Hm, wonder what they want. The dark figures reached into their pockets and pulled out something. A stroke of sun ray shine on the objects - knives. They're probably trying to rob us, thinking we're poor little helpless girls. A smile spread on Morrigan's face. A little knife can do nothing to a succubus.

The three men walked up close to them. Morrigan, thinking how foolish these mortals are, just smiled and crossed her arms. Let them have their fun, then I'll have mines.

Kaori, totally unawared of the men's approach, jumped as one of them threw his arm around her neck and pushed the knife against her back. "Don't move if you don't want to die,' the man whispered to her ears.

The other two did the same action to Lilith and Morrigan. "Give me everything you got. Don't try anything funny, girl, or I'll slice your neck."

Slice my neck? You'll have holes on your neck before you know it. Morrigan was ready to counter attack when Ryo suddenly appeared in front of them, surprising even Morrigan.

"Pal, what do you think you're doing?"

The man, startled, screamed "Stand back! Or I'll kill her!" He pointed his knife at Ryo, challenging him.

With one quick motion Ryo grabbed his arm and twisted it. The man shrieked in pain as he loosen his grip on Morrigan and the knife fell out of his hand. Ryo then pulled Morrigan away from the robber, sweeped him and the robber fell heavily onto the ground.

The other two robbers, suprised and stunned, stood motionless for a while, then both charged at Ryo. Ryo dodged and the two missed him with their knives. Ryo punched one of them on the stomach, turned around, then did an uppercut on the other. Defeated, the three men ran.

Ryo smiled then turned to Kaori. "See? You can't do the job without me,"

"Hey, if you didn't appear I would've took care of them," Kaori said.

"Yeah, right," Ryo turned to Morrigan and grinned. "So, Miss Morrigan! How would you like to repay me spending the night with me?"

"RYO!!!" Kaori was ready with the hammer when Morrigan said, "Sure,"

"Reeeeally?" Ryo beamed. Kaori, surprised at Morrigan's reply, looked at Morrigan blankly.

Morrigan ran a finger through Ryo's cheek. "We can spend the night in my hotel suite,"

Ryo, as if being posessed by a love spell, nodded continuosly.

"Well you two are not spending the night without me," Lilith said, throwing her arms around Ryo. You're not taking him from me, Morrigan

Morrigan started to protest when Ryo said, "We can ALL spend the night together,"

Kaori recovered from her motionless state and said, "Miss Morri-"

"Kaori, you heard what they said, they're willing, so don't bother us!" Ryo interrupted. Putting his arms around Lilith and Morrigan, Ryo guided them away. "Let's get going, we must not waste time!"

"Argh! Fine! I won't bother you anymore!" Kaori yelled and walked the opposite direction. I can't believe the two of them will fall for Ryo!

Lilith free herself from Ryo's arm. "Ryo, you're going to have to choose between me or my sister,"

"Why? The three of us can have fun together,"

"Um, let me talk to my sister. Meanwhile, why don't you get ready for us?" Morrigan slided her hands under Ryo's jacket and slipped it off.

"Su...sure.." Ryo said in a shaky voice. Morrigan pulled Lilith into the bedroom.

"Lilith, let's just share this guy,"

"What about our bet?" "It'll take him forever to make a decision! You can either wait to get his soul or we each get half now,"

"Um, yeah, I guess you're right," Lilith grinned at her sister. "Let's share the feast,"

He smiled, picked up his jacket, and quietly slipped out the door.

She sighed and hailed the taxi to come back.

Morrigan followed her out of the room. She scanned the room and said, "Looks like we both lost,"

"He left?? But, why?"

"Simple. We cannot seduce a man in love."

"In love?"

Morrigan turned to her sister. "Kaori."

Morrigan stuck her head out the door. "Yes?"

"I left my keys in there, can you get it for me?"

"Why don't you come in and get it yourself?" She opened the door wider.

Looking inside, Kaori was surprised that Ryo is not in there. "Where's Ryo?"

"He left,"

Confused, Kaori stares blanky at Morrigan. Why would Ryo leave?

"Aren't you going to get your keys?"

"Oh, right," Kaori grabbed them from the coffee table. "Well, see you," What's Ryo doing, leaving two pretty girls? This is not like Ryo at all.

"I'm not exactly the person you think I am," Ryo said, then turned away, staring up in the ceiling, refusing to say more.

Kaori stared confusingly at him for a moment. Then, without knowing it, a smile spread on her face.

There was no need to say more.
