Capture the Three

The lovesick Lupin the 3rd and the diabolical Fujiko Mine have just settled down on pink plush loveseat just minutes back from their outing together. It was the perfect date, a moonlight candle dinner at a classy Italian restaurant, a walk through the park, and some more wine at the hotel he was currently staying. This was his night to get lucky he could feel it in his heart and that little important part south of his waist too. It was at the part where the red wine was served Fujiko began to talk about a few heists that would be worthy of Lupin’s consideration. Lupin’s mischievous black eyes took this time to rake in Fujiko’s well developed form.

“This is for you my love,” Lupin dug into his red jacket pocket and revealed a blue velvet colored box to the love of his life. He opened the box carefully making sure that what was inside would hit the light at just the right angle for it to be displayed at its maximum quality.

“Oh Lupin, it’s beautiful!” She greedily snatched up the blue sapphire ring and held it to the light examining its beauty, but then started to pout. “It’s a shame though…”

“Huh?” Lupin looked quizzically at his love, “What’s wrong?”

“Oh nothing…” Fujiko stuck out her bottom lip a little more and made her eyes fill with tears, “It’s just…well…I don’t have a necklace to go with this.”

“Is that all? C’mon Fujiko baby anything for you,” Lupin said as his fingers trailed down her thigh. “Just tell me what you want and I’ll personally see to it that you get it.”

Those sinful cream colored thighs and large supple breasts seemed to be magnified in the lustful eyes of Lupin. The red corset and blue skirt ensemble lifted her bust an inch or two from where it normally fell nearly placing her breasts in Lupin’s face. Lupin’s tongue dipped dangerously low almost low enough to steal a decent lick when Fujiko leaned backed drawing the globes of flesh back and out of Lupin’s tongue’s reach.

Fujiko closed her eyes and thought for a moment. When she opened them again a strange sparkle formed in her eyes, “Get me the Heart of Eternity.”

“T-the Heart of Eternity?” Lupin stuttered, eyes wide with surprise and his hands wringed in nervousness.

Fujiko laid her delicate manicured hands on Lupin’s chest and lazily drew circle patterns on it, “I would do absolutely anything for you if you got me that beautiful piece. Imagine me with that piece…and only that piece.”

“Ayaya…” Lupin’s tongue lolled out of his mouth in anticipation of what may come.

Fukijo smiled mischievously and scratched the underside of Lupin’s chin, “Just think about it.”

“Oh baby doll I’m thinking,” Lupin crawled on top of Fujiko and puckered his lips, “So how about a down payment so I know what I am expecting.”

Fujiko playfully pushed him to the hard wood floor, “What kind of girl do you take me for darling? You must me give the goods before you can expect anything in return.”

With that all hope with Lupin the 3rd was lost….If only Jigen and Goemon could see him now.

…………………………………………………………………

“Gather around you guys. I’ve decided on our next heist,” Lupin announced happily as he began to set up the projector.

Jigen who was rudely awakened from his nap by Lupin’s chatter stretched and yawned, “This better be good. You promised us a few weeks of rest you know.”

Goemon who had been meditating opened his dark eyes and stoically said, “After that heist in Japan you did say we could rest longer than usual.”

“Bah! We’re young and only live once,” Lupin grinned while Jigen scoffed at this.

“Young says who?” The hit man muttered as Lupin rolled his eyes.

“Goemon and you probably need the exercise for being on vacation for so long,” The young thief commented offhandedly.

“Normally I would agree…If it were not for the fact that we have only been on this vacation for 2 hours,” Goemon moved himself to the couch next to the now upright Jigen.

“Anyhow let’s get started.” Lupin briskly walked over to the wall and flipped off the room lights.

“This is the Heart of Eternity. A 27 carat blue diamond that was cut by the Steinmetz group and later sold to the Da Beers Group, a diamond cartel,” Lupin said as the slide showed the picture of a brilliant blue heart shaped diamond, “It is categorized as a vivid fancy blue and perhaps the largest of its class.” Jigen let out a low whistle of astonishment.

Lupin continued to lecture as he flipped through the slides, “At the moment it is worth at least $16 million and is currently on display at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. Of course the security in place was state of the art, lasers, motion detectors on the gem itself, and security guards.”

“So just your run of the mill security rig?” Jigen smiled knowingly, “Well, that is a pretty nice rock there. It’ll sell for quite the pretty penny. Ever since your little girlfriend went on another shopping spree we couldn’t restock our supplies.”

“She isn’t that bad…” Lupin defended, “So my little Fujiko went a little crazy.”

“Tell that to my stomach,” Jigen said sarcastically, “I could really use a steak but having beef broth is so much better. I never liked that bitch you know.”

Goemon nodded, “I too could use the money…”

“You know you’re almost as bad as Fujiko with money so don’t you start berating me about this too,” Lupin raised his left eyebrow in question, “You didn’t give your money to another girl cult leader did you?”

Goemon’s eyes twitched in annoyance, “Of course I didn’t do that. What kind of fool do you take me for?”

“Ah.” Jigen reached out for his glass of scotch on the rocks and took a generous gulp, “Well as long as you didn’t do anything stupid. We all know how bad you are when it comes to dealing with money and women.”

“There was this little girl who needed money for this organization. I believe it was called scientology.”

Jigen stopped breathing and within that minute the scotch that was on route for his esophagus traveled down his windpipe causing him to nearly choke. Lupin on the other hand shook his head disbelievingly and was about to inform his deadly samurai friend when there was the sound of scratching on the door. On cue Goemon leap to the side of the doorway hand on the hilt of his sword and swung the door opened.

“Hmm,” Goemon stepped in front of the doorway and looked around.

“Uh G-man…” Jigen said.

“Yes?” Goemon replied quietly and looked back at his partners. Lupin pointed down a few times to emphasize his point.

“Woof!”

Down on the ground was a large black dog with pointy ears and a bushy tail with a white tip at the end of it. The dog looked quizzically at the man with the sword as if he were saying ‘What? Never seen a dog at your door before with a note?’ After waiting for a few minutes and realizing there would be no treats the dog walked off towards the staircase door. The animal cleverly used it paws to apply pressure to the turn handle and pushed successfully opening the door.
“Smart dog,” Jigen said.

“Hey, what does it say?” Lupin inquired.

Goemon reached down and weighed the message before untying it, “Goemon Ishikawa the 13th, for many years while working in the underworld I have not come across many worthy opponents and those that did possess some skill were already corrupted by greed and power. In you I see the skill and purity. I wish to challenge you to a duel. However, a duel to the death is something I would to rather steer clear of. I am a firm believer in the phrase “To live to fight again another day”. The time and place will be determined by me, but it will be at both of our conveniences especially not when thievery is taking place. I will give you a day to consider it. –Kaito Hamamoto”

“Hamamoto…Where have I heard that name before?” Lupin made his way to a small computer and typed in the puzzling name. “Ah, that makes sense…”

“Whatcha got?”

“The Hamamoto siblings consist of two members Kaito and Kiyumi Hamamoto. They are wanted in 25 countries on accounts of burglary and impersonation of important personals. Most targets of burglary consist of private collectors. Both are masters of disguise. Wow this Kiyumi is pretty hot.” As he looked over the picture of the gray eyed blonde, after a moment of observing Lupin cleared his throat, “Anyways she is an expert in firearms.”

“What does it say about Kaito?” Goemon asked.

“Kaito is a supposed ninja and has never been seen with a firearm. However, he wields two kodachi and an arsenal of smoke bombs, shuriken, and other standard ninjutsu weaponry. His face is always covered by a mask so no one knows what he looks like. Both are considered armed and dangerous. These two should be approached with caution.”

“I don’t know if you should accept,” Jigen said after a minute of thinking, “This Kaito seems dangerous.”

“I could not call myself a samurai if I turned down every challenge,” Goemon unsheathed his blade and gave it a look over, “The shadow of death does not appear, but I shall meditate on this predicament and come to a decision tomorrow.”

Lupin’s and Jigen’s eyes followed the retreating renegade samurai’s figure, “I don’t like this Lupin…I don’t like this one bit.”
