Just something I cooked up while taking a break from the Kodacha fic...

"Hello, m'am.  It's payback time."  The mobster was not a very happy
looking chap.  He held out a very large pistol.

"Oh my! Do you know what this means?"  Kasumi blinked.

The thug raised his gun and started to squeeze the trigger.  "Yes, it
means that I'm going to have to kill..."

"The tuna rolls won't be finished in time!"

The criminal blinked for a second, as the non sequitur shorted out his
brain cells.  His hand wavered for a short moment as Kasumi glided a
couple of centimeters sideways, just enough to let the bullets fly past
her.  She delicately kneed the thug in the groin and smacked him over
the
head with a cast iron pan that she whisked off of the stove.  The gun
fell out of nerveless hands.  Kasumi kneeled down gracefully and
picked up the gun with a dainty air.  She slipped a spare clip out of
the
mobster's pocket and stood up.  She then proceeded to kick the living
daylights out of the hapless fellow.

"The union representative again, Kasumi?", drawled Nabiki from the
family
room.

"Yes, sister dear!" Kasumi chirped brightly as she unloaded the rest of
the clip into the slowly reviving figure.  "I'll clean up in a sec."

She let the empty clip fall down and bounce off of the gurgling
near-corpse.
Kasumi slapped in a new clip and pulled the slide back.  The mobster
raised his head shakily and stared at Kasumi with rapidly unfocusing
eyes
as she fired all thirteen rounds into his head at point blank range.

"I'm done!"  Kasumi trod through the bloody remains on the way to the
broom closet to grab a mop, tossing the empty gun into the small pile of

firearms accumulating at the back of the broom closet.
