To Catch a Thief (Fish)

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] “Hey! Jerk!” The voice of a rather angry man yelled out. Sen had no time to look back at who had yelled though he knew why he had yelled. Coming back to the Central Capital had been a good and bad idea. He had managed to make a bit of extra cash, however, it seemed the wanted posters has spread among the people. All day he had been running into old knights, guards, and other random people who believed they could take him down. He hadn’t had much time to rest at all. At this very moment he was being chased down by not one, but four money hungry guards. He had just managed to burst around the corner of one of the streets, knocking over a fruit stand and spilling it’s contents all over the ground. That had been what the man had been yelling at. However, Sen could hear the thumps of the other four men close behind him giving him no time to even apologize for the mess he had made. This street had a lot more people covering it, allowing Sen to wined around them and catching a bit of space between him and followers. A few of the other people attempted to grab him as the guards yelled out to stop him yet none had managed to actually grab hold of him. He didn’t want to push his luck, however, so without much hesitation he jumped up and grabbed hold of one of the lower flag poles. Without much effort he had managed to swing up and climbed onto the lower rooftop. The guards chancing him quickly turned down the side alley of the building he was on. Luckily for him, he was a bit faster. He had managed to jump down and turn another corner before sharply turning yet another corner and stopping. He held his back against the wall, sucking in a sharp breath as heard the fast footsteps of the four men getting closer. One flicker, two, three and lastly the forth. They had passed him without spotting him. He could hear them yelling at each other, asking which way he had gone before the footsteps had finally faded enough that he knew they were gone. Sen let out a long sigh before lifting his arm and brushing sweat from his brow. He didn’t mind the chase but this had been about the fifth one today. He was starting to get tired. Without much more thought on it, he stepped out from the alleyway into the larger alley and looked around to see if Ada had caught up to him yet. [/scrolly] [bg=4f2a66]

[KARP KARP!]

Jade had spent her morning scouting out wanted posters on the wall. Finally, she found one that seemed promising. Leaning in, she read the name. "Sen Onni...." Then, she planted a kiss on it, leaving her dark red lipstick mark. Jade Summers had just staked her claim.

Now, she was roaming the city; she'd heard he was in the area. Hell, everyone and their grandma seemed to be after him. But Jade wasn't just anyone, or their grandmother.

Suddenly, four knights went past her, almost knocking her over. Muttering a few choice words, she turned into an alley. She smirked; Jade had found her man. Or so she thought; hey, it looked right from behind, anyway.

"Well hey there, cutie." Okay, so given her leather jacket, black tank top, and leather pants...she prolly looked like a hooker, not a bounty hunter. Jade pushed her glasses up a bit.

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Sen paused mid step upon hearing a voice. It defiantly was not the voice of Ada or any pokemon for that matter. Still a bit on edge, Sen turned a bit and looked up just to set his eyes on a blond, leathered dressed, extremely good looking woman. Perhaps one of the local prostitutes but then... she looked a little too well taken care off to be one. For a few seconds Sen blink, then looked around a bit to make sure she was defiantly talking to him and not someone else who had walked into the alleyway. When he saw no one, he decided now wasn't the time to be rude to a lady. Well ok, no time was ever a time to be rude to a lady, but yah... "Heh... I think you have the wrong alley." Sen replied back with a rather goofy grin, though his voice was littered with a hint of fatigue, "The rich part of the city is another five blocks down. I don‘t think I’m your type." And he didn’t think that just because he was poor. Women in general just weren’t his type. Though he was more implying that she was too good for him. [/scrolly] [bg=4f2a66]

[KARP KARP!]

Jade smiled cooly. Yep, this was definitely her man. Stepping closer, the woman brushed her hair out of her face. Yeah, no way was Jade gunna pass up having fun with him first.

"Well, you are definitely my type. I didn't just start this game yesterday, hun. I know what I'm doing." Her deep blue eyes were kind of flirty.

But really, she was mostly after the bounty. Though....she did enjoy flirting.

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Maybe he had been wrong… maybe she was a prostitute… Well, sadly for her she wasn’t going to get any money out of him tonight and he wasn’t going to sleep with her. However, he did amend her for her efforts. She was by the hottest woman he had seen in a while and after having a bit of fun with her he was defiantly going to have to hit the bars and try to find a good looking man to accompany him to bed. Right now, it was time to play hard to get. “I… well I… I don’t really know how to… and I don’t, ummm… I don’t have money…” Sen stuttered out while his insides laughed. He was far from shy but he was pretty sure he was putting on a good act. Usually it was he who hit on the girl or guy, not the other way around. But this would be really fun to see how far she would go before he flattened her by telling her he was gay and giving her a real taste of his personality. Or so… he figured this was going to work out… [/scrolly] [bg=4f2a66]

[KARP KARP!]

"No, Hun. I'm not a prostitute. I'm just out looking for a man," Jade purred. "And it's your lucky day." Or unlucky, depending...

She strutted towards him, showing off her figure. "Don't be so shy, Hun. I don't bite." Jade leaned in a little, looking him in the eyes. "Well, not hard, anyway." Jade finished off with a wink, taking off her glasses and putting them in her jacket pocket.

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Woah… she wasn’t a prostitute? Well then, what was the catch? There was always a catch with women like her unless… she was a female version of him? Nah, she’d be looking for other females then… right? Well he had to at least play this game long enough to figure out what her real goal was. Unless it came down to… well… it wouldn’t be the first time he’d been with a woman. It just wasn’t really all that fun. Every time he tired he found himself getting bored. They just didn’t have that same, errr, spark like other men did. But she was incredibly hot. Ugh. Damn his mind. Damn his body. Sen stood there, putting on a rather dumbfounded look as he his mind raced through his thoughts. When she finally made it up to him, he sucked in a deep breath and listened to her words. She was close enough that he could… or he could break the news to her now and… but she was really hot… oh the hell with it. He could keep having a bit of fun. “I… I ummm…” He stuttered again, pretending to be lost for words as his purple eyes looked down at her lips. [/scrolly] [bg=4f2a66]

[KARP KARP!]

Okay, this was too much fun. Besides, whether she succeeded or not, she still won. In Jade's mind, she couldn't lose. On the one hand, she got sex. On the other, Money. And...he looked good, so...A would be just as good as five grand.

"You don't have to be shy, Hun." Putting a hand on his cheek, she leaned in and kissed him gently. He was wrapped around her pinky, and she just knew it.

Pulling back, she shot him a grin, sort of batting her eyelashes. "So? Whatcha say, Hun?"

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Sen froze for a moment when she kissed him before letting his eyes close and body relax. When the kiss came to an end he opened his eyes slowly and found himself looking into her eyes. For a moment he pretended to be lost by the sensation of the kiss, only to be partly woken by her voice. “I…” He cooed softly before slowly leaning in to whisper into her ear. A rather sly grin crossed his lips at the moment. “I’m actually very interested in…” His voice was soft, still sounding a little hesitant until he added two last words, “Other men.” He pulled away from her after that, a huge grin on his lips as he tucked his hands into the pockets on his long shirt. “Sorry hun, I couldn’t help myself.” He knew he was still close enough she could slap him but he was willing to take the slap. He knew he deserved it for being a jerk. [/scrolly] [bg=4f2a66]

[KARP KARP!]

Jade smiled softly, but it dropped very quickly when Sen said what he did. It wasn't a frown, just more of a straight face. Her feelings really weren't all that hurt; she was after two things: Sex and money. Her plan A may have fallen through, but there was still B.

However, Jade wasn't the kind of girl to take the first no for an answer. Leaning in again, she was mere millimeters away from another kiss. "You sure about that, Hun? I'm sure it just takes an....extreme measure...to change your mind."

Her eyes locked on his in a seductive gaze."Besides, I prefer other women. But that's not stopping me, is it?"

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Wow… she had to be his long lost twin or something. What better explanation was there? She was persistent and clearly wasn’t after money or any kind of goal like it. She was clearly in it for the sweat, senseless love making. But… women just didn’t have that smooth, flat, oh so muscular chest that Sen personally loved beyond anything. They had those big milk makers in the way. Ah well, if she was going to be persistent… “An extreme measure?” Sen asked, his voice matching the same seductive tone she was using, his lips keeping that millimetre of distance, “And what sort of extreme measure would turn a gay man straight for a night?” There was no doubt he was challenging her now while keeping the tease on by not falling into another kiss despite how close their lips were. He had to admit, he had never had this happen before but he had no issues with playing around so long as she understood the same rules he gave even the men. One night and then he was gone. It wouldn’t be as fulfilling as the men but… eh, sex was sex was it not? [/scrolly] [bg=4f2a66]

[KARP KARP!]

"I'm sure I'll find some way, Hun. You wouldn't be the first man I turned for the night. Hell, I've got a few straight women under my belt, too." Jade winked, still as close to him as before. Oh yeah, she was bragging, but not for the glory. She was bragging to show that she was very well capable.

"See, Hun, I've learned it's different from man to woman. I've just found what I like in each. Surely..." Briefly, her lips closed the gap. "There must be something, " kiss, "You like about me?"

Giving him a big pair of puppy dog eyes, she leaned in for another, deeper, kiss. He'll come around. Well, for his sake, he'd better hope so.

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Sen stood there as she spoke, allowing her to tease him with the light brushes of the lips. He was about to try and answer her question but just as he opened his moth to speak she planted a deeper kiss on him. He was trying, to at lest enjoy it. The kiss wasn’t all too bad and a for a slight moment as his eyes closed, he was getting into the mood to give it a try. It wasn’t until he attempted to place a hand onto her side that he once again felt a bit turned off. It was body. It had such smooth curves and a rather round chest… He couldn’t figure out where to put his hands that it would feel more like a man that he was holding. The idea of not having a flat chest to enjoy or a muscular body to stroke just… it just wasn’t right. He’d much rather find a guy for the night but then… those wanted posters were making it rather hard. When the kiss finally broke and Sen reopened his eyes again, he let out a small sigh. “You’re hot.” He complement her before adding, “But I just don’t feel it.” If he couldn’t get turned on long enough then how could he possibly do anything. Unless it was her doing all the work, but then, if she wasn’t getting paid for it, what was the point? [/scrolly] [bg=4f2a66]

[KARP KARP!]

Jade sort of pouted. But she wasn't out yet. "Well, I knew it wouldn't be easy. If it was, they wouldn't call it a challenge." She winked; nope, Jade was not done yet. In fact, the longer this went, the more she wanted him. Most likely one of those things that's more desirable when you're told you can't have it.

"Just relax, Hun. If it doesn't work this time, I'll stop. Promise. I just...I wanna try one more time." Normally she tried harder, but the more she thought about it, the better five grand was starting to sound. Besides, since he wasn't a woman kind of man, the sex probably wouldn't be worth near that much, anyway.

She planted one last, hungry kiss on him, her arms wrapping around and slipping under the fabric of his shirt to massage his back.

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] She did hold a good point. Though he found he only tried harder for the challenge if there was no one else around or money was involved somehow. Like that Ryan guy he had gone on a date with. He had spent his own money on the guy and he wasn’t going to just let him have a free meal without some sort of reward. But Sen didn’t want to think about that night right now. “A challenge am I?” Sen teased almost liking the sound of that. Well, he had no issues with her trying again. She was, at the very lest, a good kisser. It wasn’t like he had any complaints about that. So, without argument he let her kiss him once more, returning the kiss to the best of his ability. This time he managed to set his hand the back of her neck causing it to feel a little less odd to him. He felt his skin prickle a bit as her hands slipped under his shirt. He had to admit, she defiantly did know what she was doing. It was enough to cause him not to break this kiss this time. He was actually getting into it until he made the mistake of setting his other hand on her hip. It just… “Doesn’t feel right,” He sighed as he broke the kiss again. [/scrolly] [bg=4f2a66]

[KARP KARP!]

Jade had to smile, though. Progress was progress, however slow. And the man was one hell of a kisser. Putting a finger to his lips, she leaned in. "Sssssh..."

Taking each of his wrists, she lead them to her neck. "I say try keeping them there. I have nice hips, or so I like to think, but don't touch them." She winked, then kissed him one last time.

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Sen could only grin as he set his arms onto her neck and told him not to touch her hips. Well, he guessed that was one solution. It just left one problem; how were they going to get much further then kissing if he couldn’t move his hands without getting turned off. Well… he was the one being wooed this time so for once it wasn’t him who had to come up with the answer. It was a nice change actually. That grin was soon swept away as she kissed him again and he fond himself returning the kiss. This time he found no reason to break the kiss. It seemed her little trick of keep his hands over her shoulders was working. For now. [/scrolly] [bg=4f2a66]

[KARP KARP!]

Jade smiled behind the kiss as her fingers danced over his skin. But there was still the issue of going farther. Hey, Jade was no dummy; she'd figure something out.

The woman pulled back, licking her lips. "That's more like it." Honestly, she was enjoying this challenge she'd found. And hey, he was hot. And again, one hell of a kisser.

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] “What can I say,” Sen replied with a grin, “You’re a good kisser.” He liked to think he was too. After all, he had kissed enough people in his day to day life that he had to be good at it by now. Sadly, when it came to making love to a woman he only really knew or could stand two things. Kissing and… well… parking the car. Aside from that they were nothing like the men and Sen was pretty sure anything else would turn him off. It would mean everything else would be left out that he could. But then, a change would be nice. It wasn’t like he’d be seeing her again after this anyway. Without another word he planted his lips back onto hers, taking a few steps back as he kissed her until his back hit the wall. At least now he was in the mood to keep trying. Hopefully nothing would break that mood. [/scrolly] [bg=4f2a66]

[KARP KARP!]

Jade couldn't help but smile now. Hey, him kissing her was some kind of progress. When he hit the wall, Jade deepened the kiss, pressing her body into his. Her hands trailed his figure.

For a second or two, she forgot all about his bounty. And she forgot they were in an alley. Not that Jade was the type to care.
