Song List:
Assault and Battery - Howard Jones
Walking in My Shoes - Depeche Mode
Brick City - Strange Names
Double Trouble - The Cars
E.S.T. - White Lies
Walking Away - Information Society
Gun - St. Lucia
Bigger Than Us - White Lies
To Live and Die in L.A. - Wang Chung
Assault and Battery - Howard Jones
The lives were taken
For feasts at the table
A life of misery
Ending with a shock
Brutal murder (brutal murder)
All hands to the slaughter
Mass torture
All hands to the knife
And I can hear the screams
With the knife, the jolt, the wring
They must follow in our dreams
Carrying a twisted sting
Children's stories with their farmyard favourites
At the table in a different disguise
Don't talk to me of health
Or something someone else will do
We're talking about the act
Of taking life for me and you
And I hear their screams
2. Walking in My Shoes - Depeche Mode
I would tell you about the things they put me through
The pain I've been subjected to
But the Lord himself would blush
The countless feasts laid at my feet
Forbidden fruits for me to eat
But I think your pulse would start to rush
Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
[Chorus]
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Morality would frown upon
Decency look down upon
The scapegoat fate's made of me
But I promise now, my judge and jurors
My intentions couldn't have been purer
My case is easy to see
I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
Peace of mind after what I've been through
And before we talk of any repentance
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
[Chorus]
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
[Chorus]
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes (x2)
3. Brick City - Strange Names
Time won't travel
In a ripple city
The hours unravel
When the nights get rid of me
A systematic sin
Of all the reveling
The seconds wearing thin
Brought what I said I'd bring
I got a hex on a handsome devil
Who won't return my calls
The second strings along
But the bomb's already dropped
Why do I feel so good
Why do I feel so dry
Was under the impression
Overtaken by a guise
The wait's so slow
It's like summer
Like growing old
Just an afterglow
[Chorus]
I hit the wall
'Cause I can't work
In a brick city
In a brick city
I'm gonna throw it all away
'Cause I can't stay
In a brick city
In a brick city
I can't find a match
To compliment
My psycho sequence
Who acts that fragile
Unless they're sinking
I get a palm reading
But what do they really know
You're from a broken home
And the going's slow
It's just a show
[Chorus]
Hit it out of the park
A great place to start
I know you'll wait for me there
Don't sound the alarm
I mean no harm
Baby you ought to be careful
Baby you ought to be careful
4. Double Trouble - The Cars
They got a line on you
Little bit of trouble too
You got some jets inside
Cherry lips and delirious eyes
(Chorus)
You get in trouble
And it keeps you down
Double trouble
You get in trouble
When you come to town
Double trouble, oh yeah
They better chain your hands
Spread some evil, pick and pan
Hey, you sure got some jets inside
But you got to live with those empty eyes
(Chorus)
You've got some jets inside
Yeah, broken promises, broken pride
(Chorus x2)
5. E.S.T. - White Lies
If you tell me to jump then I'll die
In my dreams I'm there
I always hoped that I'd learn how to fly
In my dreams I'm there
You can tie my hands to the walls
But you can't tie my dreams to this place
I might fall like a rock from your heart
But you won't see me fall from grace
[Chorus]
Fate always loses hope
Like electric sparks in my heart
Fate always loses hope
Now be a good girl and do what you're told
If you tell me to jump then I'll die
In my dreams I'm there
I always hoped that I'd learn how to fly
In my dreams I'm there
I leave my memoirs in blood on the floor
And my fears with the nurse on the stairs
I'm only going where you'll be some day
So don't say rest in peace in your prayers
[Chorus]
(Bridge)
I hope you remember me
I hope you never pretend for me
I hope you remember me
I hope you…
[Chorus]
(Bridge x2)
6. Walking Away - Information Society
It is useless to resist us
Cold winds blow around me
And I can't help but think of you
All the things we wanted
All the things we had to do
Wrap yourself around me
We can steal away sometime
Your whispers surround me
But it's only in my mind
(Chorus)
'Cause I'm walking away from
Walking away from things in my own past
Walking away from
Walking away from things that just won't last
You got what you wanted
But you can't help but think of me
All the things you wanted
All the things you got for free
One thing to remember
Is that I have feelings too
I surely would have closed my eyes
If I had known the real you
(Chorus)
And I'm walking away from
Walking away from things that move too fast
Let's go see x8
(Chorus x2)
7. Gun - St. Lucia
You said you wanted to feel
A gun in your hands
Aluminum and steel
Measure the man
And in the distance you see
A promised land
Gilded with fire and gold
We’ll stick with the plan
[Chorus]
'Cause is there something so wrong with wanting to run
Through the dead of the night with my hair on fire
'Cause everyone does it
Everyone’s got their eyes on the reasons
You said you wanted to feel
The blood in your hands
I guess it’s just my opinion
At least we know where we stand
Oh, but who is gonna believe you?
Now that you’re back
Into all the lies that we know?
'Cause this wolf is down
[Chorus]
Did you feel it now?
[Chorus x2]
8. Bigger Than Us - White Lies
You took the tunnel route home
You'd never taken that way with me before
Did you feel a need for change?
Apologies on your fingernails
Love flickered in the city of lights
Like intermittent radio waves
I don't need your tears
I don't want your love
I've just got to get home
[Chorus]
And I feel like I'm breaking up
But I wanted to stay
Headlights on the hillside
Don't take me this way
I don't want you to hold me
I want you to pray
This is bigger than us
You went where the horses cry
You'd never taken that way with me before
Did you feel a need for change?
Guilt smeared across your lips
I was tired and cold from the window
You're tired nothing's changed
I don't need your tears
I don't want your love
I've just got to get home
[Chorus & Break]
[Chorus x3]
9. To Live and Die in L.A. - Wang Chung
In the heat of the day
Every time you go away
I have to piece my life together
Every time you're away
In the heat of the day
In the dark of the night
Every time I turn the light
I feel that God is not in heaven
In the dark of the night
The dark of the night
(Chorus)
I wonder why I live alone here
I wonder why we spend these nights together
Is this the room I'll live my life forever
I wonder why in LA
To live and die in LA
I wonder why we waste our lives here
When we could run away to paradise
But I am held in some invisible vise
And I can't get away
To live and die in LA
If I let myself go
And for where I just don't know
I'd maybe hit some cold new river
That led out to the sea
An unknown sea
I'd either swim or I'd drown
Or just keep falling down and down
I think its that, that makes me quiver
Just to keep falling down
Down, down, down
(Chorus)
In every word that you say
I feel my freedom slip away
I feel the bars come down around me
And I can't get away
I can't get away
(Chorus)
I wonder why we waste our lives here
When we could run away to paradise
But I am held in some invisible vise
And I can't get away
To live and die in LA
I can't get away
To live and die in LA (x4)

My headcanons for if banana characters were a rock band:
Eiji: guitarist/vocalist, as he has a beatiful voice and absolute pitch. A comedy duo with Shorter and the reason Ash started to think about he is not straight.
Ash: guitarist, best guitar player in the band, wild crush on Eiji and basically joined the band and ended his solo career at his invitation.
Shorter: drummer. He cannot decide whether he loves Yut Lung platonically or romantically, and, in principle, does not distinguish between this love. Always support Yut Lung in songwriting. Tries write his own song but something went wrong.
Sing: Bassist, the one person in any group project who tries to stay serious and asks to put aside unnecessary jokes. Take his job to seriosly.
Yut Lung: plays the synthesizer and suspects a slight crash on Sing. It is he who writes songs thanks to his artistry and very developed imagination.
Blanca: the manager of the group, tries to endure all the antics of its members and even succeeds almost always. Ambassador of ideas for Yut Lung's songs.

Chapter2
"Banana Fish...What an unique name."
Sienna flipped through the pages as she sat down thinking. War is a scary thing, isn't it? It could even cause a man to be so disconnected from the world around him, even his dear wife. She then turned around to look at the man in the wheelchair whose pair of jade green eyes that was just like Ash's, just that they were staring emptily on the ground. Did this thing did it to you? For what purpose?
"Are you hungry, Griffin? I will make you something." She got up and made her way towards the kitchen, ( it was barely a kitchen because there was only a stove and some other basic cooking stuff). She started by chopping the onions, sauteing them before cooking the bacon and adding some more other ingredients. She ensured that extra cheese was added since Skip, the young boy who was also involved with Ash's gang, love it when extra cheese was served. While waiting for the soup to be cooked, Sienna took the last remaining pills and began crushing them for Griffin to swallow better. She must make sure to tell Ash to to replenish the medicine.
Ash had gone to see Dino Golzine, the mafia don that 'owns' them and at the same time, a fat greedy creature who was good-for-nothing.Honestly speaking, why was he even alive? Sienna hoped that the meeting went well, after all, this thing called Banana Fish might be the key to her and Ash's freedom; a way to escape from Dino for good.
Suddenly, the unlocking of the door could be heard. Sienna took out her gun and hid right behind the door, ready to strike. To her relief, it was Skip.
"You are back, Skip. Food's ready I think." Sienna smiled as she kept her gun.
" Hi Sienna! Are you making potato soup? It smells great!" Skip said excitedly as he hung his jacket, "your cooking always taste good."
Sienna looked at Skip fondly, " thanks, Skip...can you help me get some bowls?"
"Sure thing! Anything for you, Sienna." Skip replied with a bright grin before going away with quicken steps.
Sienna was always happy to see the kid due to the fact that he was adding some innocence to the gang which was why Sienna treated him like one of her little brothers back home.
Home... She paused at the thought as she stirred the soup.
The memory of her home was vague but Sienna did remember her siblings. Her bestie older brother Angelo, her younger reliable sister Gina, the jokester fraternal twins Luca and Lucia and lastly, her youngest brother Santino. How are they? She wondered. Maybe Angelo got a nice girlfriend? With his looks, a lot of girls must have been swooned by him. Had Gina finally got the puppy she wanted? She used to cry for a puppy back then. Did the twins manage to invent the toffee yet? They once mentioned that they wanted to invent some sort of toffee that could cause people to fart immediately when consumed. I wonder if Santino is playing baseball? He had a strong grip so he must have a talent...
Memories flooded her mind one by one. Back then, she was very innocent and happy, probably a bit rough on occasions like Skip. Sienna chuckled, " I do hope that they forget about me though..."
" I will definitely not forget about you, Sienna!"
Snapped back to reality, Sienna jumped back in shock as she caught the ladle just in time before it fell on the floor. "Fucking hell, Skip! You scared the hell out of me!" Sienna yelped while Skip reacted by looking at her weirdly. He then took a breath before speaking, " There is no way in hell I will forget about you, Sienna. Without you, I would have starved to death!" Skip emphasised by exclaiming at the 'death' part. In return, Sienna gave a faint smile as she pinched his cheeks, " silly, don't talk about death while you are in the gang. You will jinx yourself."
Skip just pouted in reply, "I am already twelve years old, mom..."
Hearing this, Sienna slapped Skip's head in pretended anger. "Dude, I am too young to be a mom of a twelve year old so don't 'mom' me!"
"Yeah yeah, sis. I am hungry."
Sienna shrugged her shoulders, " go and get the portion you want. I will be feeding Griffin."
Happiness swelled in her heart as Sienna saw Skip's eyes brightening while scooping some soup into his bowl. She just needs to live in the moment...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Putting down the half empty bowl, Sienna sighed in dismay. Griffin's condition was not getting better and was eating less and less. If this go like this...
"Sienna?"
With her train of thoughts coming to a halt, Sienna turned around, seeing Ash who just came back.
"How is Griff?" He asked with a concerning tone as he took off his jacket before walking towards her.
"Same as always, nothing new...where is Skip?"
"He left just now." Ash replied. " Are you alright? You seem troubled."
Surprised, Sienna gave Ash a look with him smiling in return. " I known you for a long time, I can feel it when you are troubled with something."
"Nothing much, just about Arthur. He has been causing quite a stir." Sienna emphasised, remembering the scene when Arthur was in the room with Dino, together with the fact that Arthur was till on about his grudge with Ash about both his territory and fingers."We should do something it. He is power hungry and vindictive."
Ash hummed in return while taking out something from his pocket, "Yup. I heard from Skip. I need to settle with him one of these days."
Sienna nodded as her eyes landed on the pendant Ash was holding. It was what the man had given them before he died.
" Want to have a look?"
Sensing a nod, Ash gave the pendant to Sienna whom the later began to analyse it. Sienna thought, it looks like an ordinary pendant...wait, there seems to be something inside! She started to fiddle with it with her fingers and soon realised that she was able to open it.
"Found anything?" Ash moved nearer to Sienna to have a better view of the unknown object. " A locket..." He straightened and reached out, earning a nod from Sienna as she returned the locket back to the blonde.
" What type of powder is that? " Sienna questioned, her mind racing around. It is clearly not heroin.
"I wonder..." Ash murmured before moving towards Griffin and knelt down. Sienna watched silently as he put his hands on his knees and begged, " did this banana fish did this to you? Please tell us Griffin."
It was hopeless. Both of them knew. Ash stood up and sighed, " I need to go to Dr Meredith to get some more meds." Just as Ash was about to leave, Sienna grabbed his arms to stop him.
"We need to send Skip to school, Ash." Her eyes wavered. "He needs a proper education...not getting involve with all the fightings...not getting involve with Golzine...but getting a degree and mix with boys his age. Just doing what normal kids do. I don't want him to end up like us." She finished nervously as silence enveloped the room. While waiting for Ash's reaction, she held her trembling hand. It was her job to take care of Skip since he was a runaway orphan so she needed to take in great consideration of the boy's future. Skip was a brave and bright boy, it would be a waste for him to mix with thugs. Though both Sienna and Ash were properly educated in basic academics, nothing beats school where it can provide a better future for Skip.
To her relief, Ash nodded his head and a smile flickered across his handsome face as he put his hand on Sienna's which was a bit too intimate to be that of friends. " That's a good idea, Sienna. He needs to have a better childhood which we were not provided with."
Sienna's smiled back, her smile was like a sudden beam of light illuminating the darkest corners of the room. " Then how does St Andrew's Elementary School sound? It is within the area. Skip would like it there."
"There should do, he would like it there." Ash commented, excitement were hinted in his words." I will make some arrangements."
Happy with the outcome, Sienna waved, " have a safe trip!"
"I will, bye." Ash waved back and the door was shut.
A/N: Sienna found Skip in the streets when she was 15 years old while Skip was about 9 or 10. Apparently, Skip's father was an abusive man and his mother was very timid so he ran away from home. Sienna took him in out of pity to help her care for Griffin in case something happen to her and Ash.
Note: The St Andrew's school thing was made up after a high school in my country so it does not exist unless due to some coincidences. Plus credits go to Akemi Yoshida.
