Kira's blood ran cold, his breathing faltered a little at the thought of losing everything to Ryuu. The two of them used to be so close, almost like brothers, but everything changed when Ryuu did the one thing he shouldn't have done. He was out of Blue Moon in an instant, and Kira never regretted it for a moment. He'd seen Ryuu during the daytime a couple of times, but he only ever really paid attention to the boy's nighttime activities. He knew well of the gang he had become a family to, knew exactly what their goals were, but Ryuu always seemed to be a misfit in that group– he didn't want the same things as the rest of them, he only wanted one person. The only person who Kira couldn't ever lose from his life.

An icy laugh erupted from Kira's throat, sending shivers down Kano and Miki's spines. Kano himself had only heard that laugh once before, and it didn't end well for those who tried to oppose Kira. He suddenly started to panic, his mind becoming a blur of mismatched thoughts. What if Kira kills me?
Miki stood there in horror, the laugh was enough to make him want to curl into a corner and weep. *So this is what made Kira the leader, I should have known he wasn't as laid back as he appears.

With a deep breath, Kira relaxed, crossing his arms. "You know, I thought you were better than this, Ryuu. You thought I would be that easy to torment? I'm not giving you anything"

"Come on Kira, we both knew I wasn't any better than this. Who do you think set up the attack on you and Asa? I knew she would get kicked out of Blue moon, start her own gang. But when it comes to you she's still weak. And I need that affection to go away." Ryuu looked at Kira the same way he was looked Ryuu. "She has gotten better I have to admit, but she's still a weak girl. But a beautiful girl, definitely good enough to be a wife. Plus, you guys are technically enemies right? So I'll just take her." He snapped his fingers and one of his people grabbed Asa. Since Kira still didn't know this was her, Ryuu was going to tell him. "Kano grabbed the wrong girl, so we'll be taking her back to the party." He snapped and one of his people left with Asa.

As Ryuu was walking away with the girl in tow, Kira caught a glimpse of the shiny pink hair of the girl he loved with everything he had. His heart dropped to his stomach, everything around him going dark. His heart raced, his fingers twitched, his body began to shake. Asa…
"Don't you dare take another step." he made his way over to the car, pulling Ryuu out of the car, holding him by the collar of his jacket. "You give her back, now"

"Sorry." Ryuu gave a nod and closed the door. The driver took off, leaving Ryuu behind. "That won't be happening." He won, there was nothing Kira could do. Asa was going away, far away. Somewhere, where no one will find here. "You lost. Live with it." Ryuu pushed him off as a second car pulled up. Quickly he hoped in and drove away. Asa's eyes slowly began to open slowly. She was still a bit dazed and was sure what was going on. But when she sat up she knew she wasn't at the party anymore. No, she was in car with two men she didn't know. Each one sat on either side of her making sure she didn't try to escape. "What the hell?"

Rage built itself up from Kira's toes to his throat, everything inside his body ached from the heartbreak of an entire army. Then suddenly everything came crashing down, the reality of the situation hit him like a ton of bricks. His legs gave out beneath him as he stared in the direction of the cars. On his knees, his heart shattered into hundreds of pieces, he cried out.
"ASA!!!!!"
Birds flew out of the trees, Miki and Kano shuddered yet again, then everything fell silent.

In a flash, Kira was back on his feet and had Kano pinned on the ground, punching him in the face. "Why would you do that? How could you do this to me Kano, after everything that we have been through together how could you betray me like this?!"
Miki struggled to pull Kira away from the bloody boy on the ground, emphasis on struggled. Kira was strong and stubborn, but in that moment he was hurt. Both Kano and Miki knew what it felt like to have the love of your life ripped away from you, but what made it worse was that another gang had done it.
"I had my reasons for doing what I did." Kano sat up, spitting blood at the ground, wiping the tears and blood from his face. "But… I can't believe I would sacrifice Asa for my own family…"

The three of them stood there in silence, an uncomfortable air hanging between them. Finally Miki spoke up. "We need to meet up with the rest of the gang, explain the situation, and we'll work from there. I have number plates for both of the cars, I'll ask Kazi to hack into all cameras across the city and we'll track where the cars are headed." he placed his hand on Kira's shoulder, gripping it firmly, the expression in his eyes was stern. "I promise you that we will get Asa back."
Kira's eyes widened, he knew what he needed to do. With a firm nod he turned to Kano. "I'm going to give you one more chance, if you so much as breathe suspiciously you are dead."
The redhead could only nod, he knew the consequences if he failed to bring Asa home.

Still in their formal attire, the three boys made it to the hideout, calling for everyone's attention. Someone was missing. Arashi!

Arashi arrived at the hideout a lot later than she usually did and found it strange that there was no one there to put down the lasers for her. Which she checked were still on by throwing a rock through the field, the rock was no longer in one piece. She frowned a little and tried to see if she could spot what was going on inside, something had to have the gang's attention and it was her fault for coming later than she should have.

Asa knew there was no way of fighting out of this. So all she could do was wait till they got to their destination. The only thing was it was taking forever. How far are they taking me? Asa was getting a bit anxious and tapped her finger on her leg. Closing her eyes she and back and did her best to try and remember what had happened. The last thing she remembered was dancing with Kano, then waking up in the car. Of course he would have something to do with it. Asa didn't want to believe it, but she felt there was something different with Kano. How was her gang going to react when she doesn't show up for many days? Will they even care? She has been a bit hard on Jax, and with the whole one sided love thing, he might not even want to come save her. Asa came to the realization that no one would be coming. She didn't have any friends, or at least real ones. The gang would just pick a new leader. And Kira, well, he would probably think it was better if she was out of the picture. Letting out a sigh she tried her best to just fall asleep again.

Kano noticed Ara stood outside, and quickly deactivated the lasers for her to enter the hideout.
Kira stood on top of a large crate so that all the members could see him, fire burned deep within his eyes. "Asa Hashimoto of Arc Angels has been taken by another rival gang. I'm sure you are all aware that she is on my personal no-hit list, and I expect to have your full co-operation in order to bring her back."
A few murmurs wandered around the room, a couple of members wondering why they should be helping a rival. Of course, some of the newer members were unaware of the relationship between Kira and Asa– if it could even be called that.
"In order to increase our chances of success," Kira continued, glancing at Len knowingly. "I intend to join forces with the Arc Angels on the common ground that we both want Asa back."
A couple of Len's relatives were part of the Arc Angels, so it wouldn't be too difficult getting the message across to them. The only one they would have to worry about was Jax.
"I trust you will all be more than happy to join this endeavor?" Kira scanned the crowd, his eyes narrow as if he was daring one of them to decline the order. Thankfully, no such thing happened. Len placed a call to a relative, letting them know the situation. Hopefully they would comply…

Ara gave a glance to the strange guy in the hideout, but if he was in then Kira must have wanted something from him. She walked inside and watched Kira give his speech, yeah she didn't know why he was doing this. But was she going to question it? Of course not! Arashi had no reason to do so, so she would help out gladly. Besides, she might make a new ally too.

Jax heard about everything from one of his gang members. He walked up to the rival gangs grounds and saw Kira on a large crate speaking to everyone. Jax would help, but only because he knew he couldn't do it one his own. "Hey!" He crossed his arms as everyone turned to look at him. "Let me in." The only person he was looking at though, was Kira. Someone he's always hated because he was the center of Asa's affection. It made him furious, but there was nothing he could do at this point. "I'll join."

Nah, your good.

Kira's head slowly turned to the entrance, a figure he knew all too well stood there, much to his annoyance. He merely stood there, a proud expression on his features as he held his head high. Jax would be a valuable asset in this, however he needed more of the Arc Angels to make this work. Other members of the gang began whispering among themselves, a couple of them drawing their weapons in case of an attack. Len turned to Kira, a concerned frown on his brow. "Sir, what do you propose we do?"
It took him another moment of staring into the other man's eyes before responding. "Let him in."
The lasers were deactivated, by this point everyone else was on their guard. They didn't trust Jax any more than Kira did, however Len seemed to be a little more civil.
"Jax, it's been a long time. I trust you know what you're getting yourself into?"
"Enough small talk!" Kira shouted, making his way over to Jax, looking down into his eyes as he grabbed his collar. His breathing was rough, his voice seeped venom as he hissed. "You do as I say, one wrong move and I'll kill you myself."
Len stood there in shock, he knew that Kira wasn't kidding with his threat. Kira would not hesitate to kill someone in the current condition he was in, especially since the search was for Asa.

Ara was slightly shocked with how aggressive Kira was being. She had never seen him this worked up before from her time in the gang. She was just going to let this ride out and watch.

Jax slapped Kira's hand away without taking his eyes off him. "I know Ass better than anyone, so don't look down on me. I will work together with you just for the purpose of saving her." Jax then pushed him aside. Jax wasn't afraid of anyone in here. "Plus," He turned with a grin on his face. "You think you and your gang are enough to take down a mobsters son. You need me, and the Arc Angels. And they only listen to me now." Jax knew they wouldn't hurt him, no, they need him. "So, we will work together, as partners, for now."

"Call your gang, but do not underestimate the ability of my family. They are some of the most intellectual minds and strongest fighters the city has to offer." Kira snarled, his eyes narrowing. He didn't need Jax. Once the rest of the Arc Angels were getting into the swing of things, they would have no choice but to continue– with or without Jax. Turning his back to Jax, Kira searched for Kazi, the resident computer genius, among the small crowd.
"Virus, I need you to send a message to every member of Blue Moon. I don't care if they are on holiday or even in this country, get them all here NOW!"
A large section of the room lit up with the blue-white glow of computer screens, furious typing filled their ears.
"Len," Kira took a deep breath. "As soon as the other members arrive I want you to make a list of everyone." he slowly turned to Jax, if he was going to rescue Asa they would need to put their differences aside and work like civilised people. "I need you to give me a list of everyone in the Arc Angels and what their strong points are."

"I've already got someone here for that." From around the corner a small boy, with brown hair and green eyes walked in. He kept his head down and was playing with his fingers. "This is Yuki. He knows the names and abilities of everyone in Arc Angels." Even Jax wasn't sure how Asa found this kid, but his memory was impressive. And as to why such a young kid would join the gang, Jax wasn't sure of that either. "If you have any questions about anyone ask him. Yuki slightly looked up at Kira. He felt insecure. Kira was huge compared to Yuki, and if he wanted to kill him he could do so in one punch. "I want more info on this guy that took Asa and why he hates you so much." If the Arc Angels were going to help, Jax wanted to know everything. "And once we get her back, I don't want you involved with her anymore. She only gets hurt when she's with you." Jax looked Kira in the eye. It was true and Kira should know that.

Kira glanced down at Yuki, a faint sympathetic smile forming on his lips, but only for a second. "I shall discuss matters with you in a moment, Yuki." he turned back to Jax, the coldness in his features returning. "I can not promise you that, Jax." he couldn't give his reasons, no one was to know how he felt towards Asa. He knew that she got hurt when he was around her, and it killed a little part of him every time it happened.
A loud sigh echoed from where Kazi was sat, and suddenly the phones of every Blue Moon member present buzzed. They opened up the notification, the hologram of a bright blue moon lit up the room. No sooner had the moon appeared, so did about roughly 200 people dressed in all black clothing. A few of them glanced around in confusion, while others knew exactly why they were there.
"It worked!!!" Kazi lept up in surprise from his chair, running his fingers through his hair. "I have been working on that teleporgram for years and it finally works!"
No one thought to question what the boy had been up to in is free time, but it brought them all together, and now they could set to work.
"Yuki." Kira looked back down at the boy, placing a hand on his shoulder. "I'm going to need that memory of yours to unite the gang members, will you help me?"

Yuki nodded, he looked up and smiled a bit. He was a sweet kid, which made it even more weird that he was in a gang. Taking a glance at Jax Yuki looked for permission to go with Kira. Jax nodded. His mind was somewhere else trying to figure out a way to keep Kira away from Asa for good. Jax wasn't stupid, he knew we exactly how they felt about each other and Asa was close to just running back to him. He felt it was for her, but deep down, Jax was just possessive and wanted her for himself. As Yuki walked about not sure of what Kira wanted him to do exactly, he spotted a girl from the rival gang. Yuki looked away before she could notice him looking at her. His cheeks had a slight tint of pink. She was really pretty, but shy guys like him didn't get the girl, plus she probably already had a boyfriend. "So, Uh, K-Kira, can I call you that?" Yuki wanted to make sure it was okay for him to call Kira by name, before starting a conversation or anything like that. (And he was aking about Ara, just letting you know.)

Ara watched as the rest of the gang appeared. Technology could do so many things, and it was kind of crazy. She felt like someone was looking at her, but when she looked around whe didn't see anyone. Arashi shrugged and continued to lean against the wall.

"Of course you can, that is my name after all." Kira grinned, guiding Yuki away from Jax. "Listen, I need you to tell me the names of everyone in the Arc Angels and what their strong points are. Do you think you can do that for me?"
He knew it would be risky doing it this way, but if everything was planned out then it should run smoothly. He just needed to inspect the how well everyone fought…

"S-Sure." He thought for a moment. "Well, there's Jax, age 18, best fighter under Asa." Yuki looked around to make sure no one was around. "Honestly, only between us, Jax is better than Asa, but they don't tell the rest of the gang that. I've seen Jax training Asa before, they don't know that I know though." Yuki knew more then he let people believe. He watched his surroundings carefully, so Yuki picked up stuff easily. "Then Coco, She's the most popular girl in the gang, even more beautiful than Asa herself," Yuki pused knowing that something happened between Kira and Asa. "I mean that's what everyone else says." He cleared his throat then went back into serious mode. "18, She's an expert marksmen, and rarely misses when she has a gun. She may not look it but she's also very strong, that includes her personality. Asa likes to keep her as an Ace up her sleeve so she doesn't show herself much. Only met the girl once myself." Yuki hadn't noticed, but he spilling weakness of everyone as well with their secrets. Sure he was a human USB, but that was it, that was his job collect information about everyone, including weakness. So he was doing his job. Asa always sent him out to observe rival Gangs and gather their strong points and weak points. "She's really flirty as well, so if you met her be careful. Next is Makita, 15, she's sort of like me, but doesn't have as good of a memory as me. Computers are her thing. She's a great hacker, but she hates most people, so we have to bribe her to work for us." Yuki looked over and saw that girl again, he got a bit flustered and lost his train of thought a bit, when he realized it though, he turned back to Kira. "Me, 14 Great memory, graduated high school already. Weakness, I'm not strong and tend to be super shy around others. Um, there's Fox. We don't know his real name. Age 20, He's sort of our information gatherer, then he comes to me and tells me. He can hide his presence, and is really good at pickpocketing and can pick locks as well. No one knows much about him, not even Makita can find him. That's pretty much all of us. Asa likes yo make it look like she has a huge gang, when in secret it's only talk." Yuki didn't agree with all the things Asa did as the leader, but that didn't mean he hated her.

Kira was rather surprised by how small Asa's gang actually was. Compared to his own, they were needles in a haystack. "You're serious, that's all of you?"
Choosing his next moves would be difficult since there were a severe lack of Arc Angels, but he was determined to make it work.
"I want you to find them, bring them to me okay?"

Len overheard everything that Yuki was telling Kira, and sighed when he mentioned Fox. So he's still going by that name huh? He pulled out his phone, weaving his way through the gang until making it outside. With a heavy sigh he punched in a number, lifting the device to his ear. He picked up. It took Len a moment to process that the call had actually gone through before he took a deep breath. "It's me. I'm recalling that favor you owe me."

On the other side of the phone you could hear a chuckle. It was almost like you could see the smirk on Foxes face through the phone. "Len, my friend, it's been too long. What's this favor you need." Len was probably the only one who knew who Fox was, since they were friends. But with Fox being, well, Fox, he just disappeared one day.
Yuki looked around and caught Jax's gaze. "Um, well. I'm not suited for actually going out and retrieving people. I just watch from afar." Did Yuki know where they all were, yes, besides Fox, he was hard to track. "But, Um, if I have a partner it might be easier." He gave a small smile and looked at Ara. Sure Yuki was shy, but he could be manipulative, and knows how to get what he wants, sometimes. "I mean, I'm not the best fighter, so…"
Jax moved over to a crate and sat down he was going to watch everyone carefully.

When the car stopped, one of the men put a blindfold on Asa so she wouldn't know where she was. Instead of fighting it, she just went along with it. "Welcome." A familiar voice came from the darkness. Ryuu. "Of course." Crossing her arms, foot steps came closer and then stopped right in front of her. "Welcome home."

A faint smile grew on Len's lips, he hadn't heard that voice in a long time. He and 'Fox' had known each other since they were young children, went to the same schools, lived in the same estate. Despite being on opposite sides, they had always been there when the other needed help. "I'll skip the small talk. Asa Hashimoto, she's been kidnapped by Ryuu. You know what that means for Kira. I need you to gather all the information you can on Ryuu's activities over the last year, find everything you can that may lead us to where he has taken her." he paused for a moment, his faint smile becoming a grin. "I will meet you at a location of your choice, unless you want to be here in person. I will admit I do wish to see that beautiful face of yours again."

Kira thought for a moment, noticing that Yuki kept glancing at Arashi. Sure, she would have been a good partner, but he hadn't heard much about her opinion in all of this. There were hundreds of other members who could be Yuki's partner for the time being, but it needed to be someone he could trust. Perhaps it was better to go with Ara after all… He glanced over in her direction. "Ara, can you come here please, I have something to ask of you."

"Well, it's your lucky day." Fox came around the corner with a smile on his face. No mask needed. Around others though was a different story. Fox, or rather Kyo walked over to Len and ruffled his hair. He was a large man, tall and muscular. "It's nice to see you again." Kyo leaned against the wall, and pulled out a cigarette. "So, Asuna got kidnapped huh? I'll need more details. Like, who took her?" A puff of smoke escaped from his mouth, but because of the cigarette. The air was cold, so cold you could see your breath. "The nights are getting colder."
