Ha!
The first time Kame shot a firearm, Ryo nearly killed him.
That in itself was rather illogical, since *he* was the one with a deadly weapon, while Ryo was pretty much weaponless (except for the blade he kept hidden in his left boot, but since he didn’t actually use it, it didn’t count.)
It went like this. There was a factory, about a ton worth of illegal drugs, a police raid, and *innocent* bystanders. Innocent in the sense that they weren’t on duty, that was, so technically they weren’t supposed to be involved. Long story short, one well-placed detonator, and the police went down like flies. Unfortunately, so did the building. They were just about to go through the back exit when a lone police with crazy eyes caught up with them and pointed a gun to their heads. Ryo immediately held up his hands in surrender, since they were, once again, off-duty, and he refused to exert any energy if he wasn’t gonna get paid for it.
Kame often suspected if someone tried to kill Ryo when he was off-duty, he would actually *let* them.
To make it even more absurd, the police was actually delusional enough to think out of Kame, Uchi, and Ryo, Ryo was the least dangerous one, and proceeded to make him hostage. Seriously. Did he not notice the manic eyes?
(To be fair, Uchi had the height advantage, while at the time Kame was wearing a black leather overcoat on top of his Kevlar vest, which made him appear bulkier than Ryo’s thin shirt and letterman jacket.)
“Seriously, are you even for real?” said Kame, because it bore mentioning.
“Ohh, I’m so scaaaared,” said Ryo, looking bored as all hell.
“Shut up! All of you!” said the sorry excuse for a police.
“Now, now, why don’t you keep the gun away from my friend’s temple, and talk about this? I’m sure we could find a way to compromise.” Said Uchi, forever the smooth talker of the group. Looking at him, you’d never guess he’d soon stab you just as your back turned.
“Look pal,” said Kame, “have you never watched any action movies at all? You’re the police here. We’re the bad guys. It’s practically a rule we’d save our own asses before anyone else’s. Besides, have you even *looked* at your hostage at all?”
“Help me! I’m so hapless! I’m a useless damsel in distress!” Said Ryo pointedly.
Uchi turned his head away, his body shaking violently. From hiding his laughter, most likely.
“Shut up! Throw away your weapons!”
Uchi cheerfully threw away his Beretta.
Kame sighed. “You asked for it, buddy.” And then threw away the grenade in his hand. The pinless grenade.
“Watch out!” Said Ryo, and then fly-kicked the grenade out the window. It exploded loudly just as it passed the windowsill, showering them all with flying debris from the destroyed wall. “That was a fucking grenade, you frigging moron! Are you trying to commit a frigging mutiny against me or something?!”
“See, Mr Police?” said Kame triumphantly. “Do you still think he’s a hostage material?”
Uchi’s shaking only got harder.

Again, I'm mostly done with this thing. Except there're these two scenes that I kept rewriting because I just can't seem to get them right. *sighs*
