"Aw, I was hoping for something sweeter." With a sigh Coco let go with a frown on her face. "Guess I'll have to try again later. Alright let's go." Yuki led the way back. And when they arrived, Coco was surprised at how many people were here. Asa's gang was so small, and whoever the leader of this one was must be an expert to have this many people following him. "Hm, so who am I here to talk to?" Coco smiled, the way she was dressed made her stand out. Many eyes were on her, although she was used to it and could ignore them.
Ara crossed her arms managing to have regained her composure around this alluring woman. She scanned across the gang member's making it abundantly clear to look away or pay the price. She nodded her head over towards Kira, "Him, he's the leader around here."
"Well, isn't he a sight for sore eyes. Not many guys like him around anymore." Coco waltzed over and did a circle around Kira once. "No wonder Asa is obsessed with you." Coco bit her lip, but took a glance at Ara. Was she trying to make her a little jealous, sure. But this is also just who she is. Coco had eyes for beautiful people and was a flirt. It would take a special person to tie her down. "Well, if you ever get tired os Asa," Coco ran a hand up Kira's arm and stopped at his shoulder. "You could always give me a call." She waited a few moments before turning to the many people around her. "I need new clothes and a gun, stat." It was time for her to be serious.
At first the gang was a little apprehensive, they in no way trusted this woman, but when Kira gave them all a very serious glare, they knew they needed to put their differences aside. Lexa approached Coco, a subtle hint of skepticism in her eyes as she handed over a change of clothes—hopefully leather pants, a hooded cape coat, and combat boots would suffice. "What kind of gun are you wanting?"
Kira made his way over to Len, feeling rather uncomfortable after Coco had touched him. "Where were you?"
"I was asking a friend for a favor." His reply was vague, but then he knew that Kyo preferred to keep things anonymous. "They're going to gather all the information they can find on where Ryuu might have taken Asa. We'll get her back, I promise."
Coco went to change. The pants were a tad tight but they would have to do. Once out she smiled at the girl who gave them to her. "Just surprise me with any gun. I'm good with most guns."
Mre was wearing blind when they got him out of the car. When inside they took it off and led him to where Asa was. As soon as Asa saw Mre her eyes lit up and she gave him a hug. "I'll tell you everything when we are alone."
(Sorry it's short. I had this whole thing written out, then it got deleted. Now I'm frustrated and decided not to write the whole thing over again.)
Mre nodded, something was definitely wrong, but he would play around. "Alrighty, are you okay?" He asked, his concern would be played off as just worry for his fiance.
"As good as I can be." Asa then looked up at the people still standing at the door and glared. "Um, leave." She said with a dangerous tone. Immediately they left her and Mre alone. "Come sit." At least the bed they gave her was comfortable. She sat and patted the spot next to her. "So, as you can tell I've been kidnapped. A mobsters son is demanding I marry him or he'll hurt the people I care about. Which would technically include you since you are my fiance. So having you close to me makes me feel better. But I'm most worried about someone I've loved for a long time. Ryuu has a lot of people that own him favors, so I'm not sure the guy I'm waiting for will win. So, I've decided I'm going to marry him." Her face turned a bit sad. She didn't want this. "But I'm just glad to have a friend here. Oh, sorry, this must be a lot, and we still barely know each other."
"It's fine. I can defend myself, so you shouldn't worry about me." Mre muttered, biting his lip in thought. "Is there anyone I should call for you? They didn't take my phone." He shook his head, looking disgusted. "What is it with people forcing others to marry?"
"Please follow me to the armory." Lexa wasn't asking, it was almost like she was demanding that Coco listened to her. She didn't like the look of the other woman, not to mention she was a little disapproving of her 'activities'— she knew all about what Coco got up to in her free time.
Miki pushed himself up off the floor, trying to regain his breath after being knocked down by Kira. He'd tried to copy Kira's fighting technique, but when the latter had figured that out he quickly changed his game.
"Don't beat yourself up about it." Kano helped him up, holding onto his shoulders. "You were pretty brave to challenge him like that though."
"I just can't figure him out." A loud sigh flew from the boy's lips as he paced around, running his fingers through his hair. "I don't understand his patterns, or the sequences in which he uses each body part."
"It's better if you don't try to figure him out." Len's voice murmured as the man himself walked past them. "For your own safety."
Asa shrugged and laughed a little, "Honestly I'm not sure." Thinking for a moment she actually remembered Kira's number, now if it was the same after all this time is the real question. "Can you call this number." She leand over and whispered it to him in case people were listening. If she could at least just hear his voice one last time, that would be enough.
Mre punched in the numbers and it rang, hopefully, it would pick up. His phone was on vibrate, so the mob people wouldn't hear.
"Pick up Kira, please." It was almost like Asa was praying. Knowing Kira though he probably didn't have his phone on him, since he was busy, or he wouldn't answer because he didn't know the number. She would have had him call Jax, but knowing him he wouldn't even let Kira touch his phone.
A subtle vibration in his pocket caught Kira's attention. He pulled out his phone, an unknown number? Perhaps it was Ryuu wanting to discuss something with him. He answered the call, bringing the phone up to his ear. "This is Kira."
"Hi, I'm Mre, I'm calling from my phone, Asa needs to talk to you." Mre spoke into the phone quietly, handing over the phone with a carefull hand.
Asa heard his voice on the phone, and her heart jumped she wasn't sure of what to actually do. Should she take the phone and talk, or just leave it to Mre. It may make things harder for her, but she wanted to say a proper goodbye. She took the phone and held it to her ear. "K-Kira?" Asa's voice was shaking as she held back tears.
"Asa? Oh my stars, thank God you're alright! We're going to get you back, you hear me?" Kira's heart leapt for joy upon hearing Asa on the other end of the phone. Although his happiness slowly faded when he realised there was something wrong in her voice. "Sweetheart why does it sound like you're crying?"
Len overheard what Kira was saying, and pulled him outside, away from everyone else. They had more privacy outside, and that way the phone could be put onto speaker.
"I'm not going to be coming back. I'm sorry." She grabbed Mre's hand since he was the only one there. "I called to say goodbye. Ah, one more thing. I should have said this a long time ago, but.." Asa finally broke and she started sobbing. "I love you Kira. I always have." After that she shoved the phone back to Mre. Whatever Kira was about to say she didn't want to hear it. But then thinking about it, she took the phone back. "I change my mind. Please come get me, I'm scared." Kira was about the only one who knew Asa's weak side. She wanted him here more than anything.
"I will, I'm coming for you Asa, we all are." Kira didn't realise the tears were falling down his face until a couple of drops hit the screen. "I love you too Asa, and I always will." He ended the phone call, staring at the dark screen in silence.
Len crossed his arms, shaking his head slowly. Young love has no place in a life like theirs. He took a deep breath, pulling Kira close to his chest, rubbing the back of his head. "We'll find her. Lets find the rest of the Arc Angels."
Yuki was around the corner watching the scene from a far. They may be working together for now, but Yuki was weak, blackmailing people was his only chance of surviving with people like them. "Quickly he left and headed back in. "Ara, are you ready to go find the others?" He looked at her. He was a bit jealous, since he saw how her and Coco interacted. "I'll go." Coco seemed to want to tag along. She knew the rest of them is hard to deal with, and with Yuki, well being Yuki, he wouldn't be much help. And Ara barely knew them. So it would be best if she went along.
Ara looked back at Yuki and gave a quick nod. She tried not to pay any mind to Coco, it made sense for her to tag along. The other girl was in the Arc Angels, Arashi was not. She looked at the pair, "Yeah. Let's get a move on."
Coco began walking out the door, when she saw a gun laying on a counter. "I'll just borrow this." It wasn't exactly her type, but for now it would have to do. "So I'd say Makita is next. Fox might prove more difficult to find." Yuki didn't necessarily like how Coco was taking lead when he was given this mission, but it was less for him to do. Around the corner Coco pulled out her motorcycle. Sadly, she would have to take Yuki since he couldn't drive. But she'd rather have Ara on the back of her bike. With a sigh, she threw Yuki a helmet. Then she looked to Ara, "Can you drive?" Coco wasn't sure how she was which is something she needed to find out.
Ara watched as Coco pulled out her bike. Arashi made her way over to the motorcycle and looked at it in awe. She hadn't seen such a well made bike in the shop, ever. She looked back at Coco with a smirk on her face, "I work with beauties like this all day, of course I can drive."
"That's hot." Coco had never met a girl mechanic, but she would love to see Ara work one day. Coco smiled as Ara looked over at her bike. "I say one day me and you should take a ride." Coco leaned in closer and looked Ara straight in the eyes. "What do you say?" Ignoring the Yuki was there he just rolled his eyes and looked away so they could have their moment, if that's what you would even call it that. Coco was seriously interested in Ara, even if they did just meet.
Ara gave her a grin that didn't meet her eyes. She had to remeber where she was and who they thought she was. She gave a slight nod, "Sure. Just tell me a when and a where, but for now let's get going."
Yuki put on his helmet and sat on the bike waiting for Coco. Coco was honestly and genuinely happy that Ara was putting interest into her. Usually she would just play around because she's been hurt a more than a few times. "Right, let's go." She put in her helmet and got on her bike. "Makita is pretty easy to find since she never leaves her house."
Asa was still crying when she hung the phone up. It was strange, but she was glad Mre was there. Just having a familiar face around made her feel better. "Not trying to be weird or anything, but would you sleep in here with me? I can sleep on the floor I just don't want to be alone."
Arashi borrowed a motorcycle from someone else since her own was still in the works. She hopped on and revved up the motor. She didn't bother with a helmet, it was more of an adrenaline rush that way, "Ready whenever you are."
As they rode off a man in a suit with a Fox mask was sitting on a crate. It was almost like he wasn't even there. Like he could completely hide their presence. "Len!" It was only until that moment when people recognized him. The only person he trusted in this place was Len. It was strange he had already got some info, but that was his job, and he was good at it.
Coco zoomed through the city. It wasn't as far away as where Coco was. But it was a drive. They got there quickly since they were walking this time. In front of them was a tall apartment. A extremely nice apartment. "Rich kid I see." Coco said as she walked some stairs to the second floor. "Yuki, do you remember which room it was?" The boy sighed and took the lead from here. He took on right turn and it was the first door on the left. Yuki stepped to the side wanting Coco to be the one to bother her.
Arashi could feel her heart racing from the ride over and just followed them into the building. She stuck towards the back of the group and let the other two do their thing. Ara might not be needed any further considering Coco was here and taking care of everything.
Len watched as Kira regained his composure and made his way to talk through the plans with the other members. A familiar voice called his name, and he wasn't the only one who had heard it. With a smile almost too bright, Len turned around to find Kyo sitting on a crate. He's wearing his mask, he means business…A couple of other members noticed the man sitting there, and jumped away in alarm. He had made no sound until calling Len's name, it was almost unsettling how silent his movements were. Before anyone had the chance to alert Kira that Kyo was sitting there, Len took his arm and pulled him into the darkness of the hideout, finding a dark empty room where they could speak confidentially. He didn't know why he did it, but something about other people talking to Kyo made him cautious. "So uhm… Hi." For the love of God can you be more awkward??
(I think it's funny how Kyo is the bold, sort of man of the relationship yet Len is older. It's cute.)
Coco knocked on the door rolling her eyes. Yuki has always been a bit of a chicken, he was never bold. Slow footsteps were heard. Coco was expecting the door to be open right away, but it was at least five minutes before it was even cracked. "What do you want?" A skinny girl, with long black hair looked through the door. Bags were under her eyes, and the room behind her was dark besides a faint blue light. "We need your help." Makita began to shut the door, but Coco but her foot in the way and smiled. Maki, clicked her tongue and rolled her eyes. She didn't like people, they weren't trust worthy. "Let us in." At her side Coco tapped the gun, and Maki's eyes followed the sound. When she noticed she smiled and opened the door, "Welcome." The smile quickly faded and she pulled her mask back over her nose and mouth. She was small, it looked like she would brake if you hugged her too tight. "Now what do you want?" She asked as she led them to the living room, although she didn't turn any lights on for them.
Kyo was debating if he should take his mask off. He wanted to properly see Len's face, but Fox knew better, so he kept it on. "Hello." Quickly he grabbed Len's hand and pulled him closer. "Come, sit." From a bag to his left, Fox pulled out a file, one on Ryuu. "He's 19, he's the next leader of the mobster group his father runs. His mom died when he was young. I heard she was a sweet woman and really cared for Ryuu, but he changed when she died. He became cruel, even to those closest to him. But.." Fox turned the page to a picture of Ryuu's mother and it looked oddly familiar. "Doesn't this look like Asa? I believe he doesn't actually have feeling for her and is just crazy." Kyo lifted his mask a bit to where his mouth was showing, he wanted to make sure Len could hear him clearly. "The kid is obsessed with his mother, and I feel he is using Asa to fill that void. He can't really tell the difference. There is something seriously wrong with him."
