JackalGod: (limps on stage with various injuries.) Another chapter has come into being. I couldn't resist doing this to Akabane and Ginji it just seemed so right. So enjoy and tell me whether I've stuffed it up or not.

Ginji hesitated then opened the door and walked in closing the door behind him. Akabane was sitting behind his desk concentrating on some books in front of him. Behind him was a small table and chair supposedly for if he game a detention in his office. Stacks of forms were neatly piled on the table. Just in front of Akabane's desk was another chair

"Umm, Akabane-Sensei?" asked Ginji quietly. Akabane looked up at Ginji and smiled although the friendly gesture did nothing to quell Ginji's overwhelming nerves

"Don't just lurk in the doorway Ginji-kun come and sit down." said Akabane gesturing to the chair. Ginji nodded and quickly sat down, then after a minute of silence

"I'm sorry Akabane-Sensei I know I shouldn't have but I just wasn't thinking and I've never been good at sport and I really didn't want to do the extra class and is wasn't fair because everyone was standing on me when I tried to leave but Ban and Kazuki waited for me and told me that you would be mad and I know it wasn't right and I'm sorry..." said Ginji in one breath

"What are you sorry for Ginji-kun?" asked Akabane placidly

"You mean Hishiki-Sensei hasn't told you?" said Ginji terrified

"Told me what, Ginji-kun." repeated Akabane smiling like the cat who'd caught the canary and it was starting to freak Ginji out

"Oh, umm nothing." said Ginji knowing his teacher wasn't going to be fooled

"Don't lie to me Ginji-kun. What happened between you and Hishiki-Sensei that you would be saying sorry to me for?" The blond sighed and stared at his knees but began to explain to his teacher

"At the end of class Hishiki-Sensei said that the last one out the door had to stay behind and train with him. When I get excited or scared I get really small so everyone was standing on me on the way out." began Ginji looking up at Akabane who was still smiling "So uh Hishiki-Sensei said I had to have the extra class but I was already exhausted so I told him I already had a detention with you and he let me go."

"So you used me as a scapegoat?" summed Akabane his smile having faded

"I'm sorry it's just you were the first teacher I thought of. I didn't mean to use you like that."

"Never mind." said Akabane suddenly

"Pardon?" asked Ginji in surprised

"I said never mind. I have a job for you." repeated Akabane gesturing to the paper on the table behind him "Next week everyone in the school, including teachers are having a medical check-up to make sure there's nothing nasty going around. It's compulsory but I'm giving the parents warning. Each pile is labelled so just take each pile to the appropriate room and give them to the teacher. You might have to make several trips."

"Okay." said Ginji walking over to get some piles "I'll come back later then."

"Make sure you knock when you return in case I'm speaking with someone." said Akabane as Ginji slipped out the door.

Ginji spent little time going from classroom to classroom delivering the forms returning to Akabane's office every now and then to get more. On his last trip, he noticed Hishiki-Sensei coming out of the staffroom and panicking dashed into Akabane's office without knocking

"I thought I told you to knock first." came Akabane's displeased voice from his desk

"I'm sorry I saw Hishiki-Sensei and I panicked." explained Ginji quickly "I'm sorry for barging in." Akabane rose from his chair and glided out of the room only stopping to tell Ginji to "stay here." Ginji obeyed quickly gathering the last two piles from the table while he was waiting. On his way back to where he had been standing, he noticed a letter lying on Akabane's table. Normally he wouldn't have read it but the name 'Dr. Jackal' made him look

Dear Dr. Jackal,

I know this must seem like short notice with your busy schedule and all. But yesterday a client called and specifically asked for yourself and Mr. Magaruma for a Transportation job tonight. Overall, it's straightforward but the opposition has hired 'help' and the client refused to have anyone but you. If it is too much of a bother, I understand but the pay is also quite good and it should also provide your kind of 'enjoyment.' If you want the job, come to the Church Street Railroad crossing at nine o'clock tonight. Your partner and myself will be waiting.

Yours truly,

Gendo Aida

Ginji stared at the letter stunned, so his Maths teacher really was the cold-blooded killer Dr. Jackal

"It's impolite to read someone else's mail." came a sudden voice that made Ginji jump so badly that on of the form piles flew into the air. On it's way down it bounced off Akabane's head and landed in the man's hands "You should finish your job the period is almost over." said Akabane handing the pile back to Ginji who nodded and practically fled out the door. On his way out, he tried not to think about what looked like specs of blood on the floor that he was certain hadn't been there before.

Ginji delivered the last of the forms and ran back to his own class just as the bell went

"Well that's the bell." Pore was saying calmly "Mido I suggest you stay behind and clean up the pizza you somehow exploded." Ginji looked over at his table and winced. The table and Ban were covered in Pizza dough not to mention there was a smouldering crater where the oven used to be. Ban growled and cleaned up the mess

"Ban-chan?" whimpered Ginji wanting to comfort his friend. With no warning Ban grabbed him around the neck and slammed him into a nearby wall

"Don't call me Ban-chan!" he hissed before storming out of the classroom. Ginji pulled himself off the floor tears in his eyes. He'd never felt so hurt in his life why did Ban do that?

"Ban-chan?" whimpered Ginji again trying not to cry

"Don't take it personally Amano. I thought he was going to ram you into the wall the first time you called him Ban-chan. I'd start calling him Mido-sama if I were you. That is if you don't wanna get 'Snakebited' into the ground," said Pore from behind his desk

"Snakebited?" asked Ginji confused

"It's some weird way of fighting he has. He's broken a lot of school property with his Snake Bite." explained Pore

"He must be really strong."

"He brags that he has a 200kg grip. I'm not sure whether it's true or not." said Pore standing up and walking to the door "You should hurry or you'll miss lunch." with that, he left Ginji alone in the room. The blond sighed and picked up his books, on a scrap piece of paper where Ban had decided what to put on his pizza there was a small badly drawn Ginji in the bottom corner. There were two little speech bubbles coming from it one had 'Ban-chan' written in it and the other had what looked like a heart. Ginji stared at it for a bit before setting the scrap alight with a spark of lighting. He dropped the ashes to the floor and left the room.

As Ginji was putting his books away he couldn't stop thinking about the letter he'd read in Akabane's office. The meeting location and time seemed to have branded itself into Ginji's memory

"I wonder if Tashimine-San would let be go out that late."

At ten past nine that night, Ginji was hiding in the bushes beside the railway from some guys in black. A large semi trailer was waiting and a man with short brown hair and a bandana was leaning up against the side of it also waiting. The lights from the truck were their only source of light. Suddenly it seemed to get really cold and Ginji shivered without meaning to. A man dressed in a long black coat a large black hat appeared as though someone had paused time put him there and pressed play again

"Well I'm here." came a familiar drawl that Ginji recognised

"Took you long enough." grunted the man near the truck

"Forgive my lateness Magaruma-san. I had a teachers meeting tonight that I had to attend." explained the man in black. A sudden wind picked up and the man pushed his hat down so it wouldn't blow away. From the angle it was now sitting on his head Ginji could just make out the mans face in the truck lights

"Akabane-Sensei." he gasped a little louder than he would've liked and caught the attention of the nearest waiting man. Before Ginji could think, he was yanked out of the bushed and thrown at Akabane's feet

"Looks like someone followed you." said the man who'd found Ginji

"So it would seem." drawled Akabane "And if he wants to continue breathing he'd keep his mouth shut."

"Akabane-Sensei how could you?" exclaimed Ginji standing up facing his teacher "How can you kill people without even thinking about it?"

"It's quite easy my dear Ginji-kun. I've been doing it for years. Now I suggest you run all the way back home and don't tell anyone about this." replied Akabane tilting his hat up so Ginji could see his face perfectly.

"How can I stay quiet Akabane-Sensei?" exclaimed Ginji in a high pitched voice "You're Dr. Jackal and you're teaching at my school."

"All the more reason for you to stay quiet. I have you for every maths class. Not to mention the school check-up next week which I shall be performing. It's in your best interests that you stay on my good side."

"But I..." began Ginji before he was cut off by a gun at his head

"Do you want us to get rid of him Akabane-san?" asked the man holding the gun. Ginji panicked and sent out a huge blast of lighting that easy knocked the men surrounding him unconscious. Ginji looked up and noticed that his teachers eyes had widened in excitement and he noticed that the hand that wasn't holding his hat was fidgeting slightly

"How interesting." said Akabane his voice less calm more 'excited.' (A/N and as everyone who's even heard of Akabane knows. That's not a good thing.)

"Interesting?" questioned Ginji taking a step back, was his teacher going to kill him

"Hey Jackal." came a gruff voice from the man leaning up against the truck

"Yes Mr. Magaruma. I'm occupied here this had better be good." replied Akabane making Magaruma sweatdrop

"We have a deadline to keep." then hastily added when Akabane slowly turned his head to look at him his all creepy angled (A/N you know in the anime when he says "how interesting" his eyes get all big and more angular than usual.) "Only if you still want to do the job that is."

"Ah, yes our job. We shouldn't keep the opposition waiting." said Akabane then turned to Ginji who was trying though badly to slink away "Where do you think you're going Amano-kun?"

"Well if you've got to do your job then I'll just be going." said Ginji sheepishly

"Oh I don't think so. You're going with us on our job after which I'm going to make sure you go straight home." said Akabane flicking out four scalpels into his hand "That is unless you want me to kill you here and save us all a lot of trouble." Ginji shook his head franticly and when his teacher gestured to the truck with the sharp weapons the blond hurried over and got in the truck. Smiling evilly Akabane withdrew his scalpels and joined the petrified, now chibi, Ginji in the truck.

"You know Mr. Magaruma I think I'm going to enjoy this job."

JackalGod: Voting time again

1. I skip details of the job and go to Ginji at school the next day or

2. I write about the job and have Ginji kick some bad guy butt or

3. I write about the job and have Akabane be really creepy but end up saving Ginji or

4. I write about the job and Yamato, Ban and Himiko turn up as the opposition or

5. Above idea with Akabane kills Yamato and become Himiko's enemy instead of Ban or

6. Idea 4 with Yamato getting seriously hurt and Ban killing him so he doesn't have to suffer. Himiko takes it the wrong way, leaves Ban and becomes a Transporter.
