The moon was out, which meant Asa was as well. It was a crisp cold night and the walls of the abandoned building her gang stayed in didn't help. Winter was not Asa's favorite season, but she liked it more than summer. Being sweaty was awful. Her pink hair blew in the wind, and the stars reflected off her blue eyes. Asa was beautiful and she knew it as well. And although she had enemies, most couldn't help but be attracted to her. "Hey boss, what are we doing tonight?" Asa was snapped out of her thoughts by one of the gang members. "I figured we could all just hang out tonight. It's nice out and the other gang seems to not be active right now." She sat at the edge of the top floor, her hood over head to keep her ears warm. Just because the others weren't out right now, didn't mean they wouldn't be later. So she kept her eyes on the ground waiting and watching.

From the bedroom window of his small house, Kira stared up at the moon. In exactly two minutes his family would be going to bed, and that is when he would take the chance to run. He quietly got himself changed into his black attire, sliding his bow onto the hook on his back. Three, two, one. Lights out! He slid open the window and clambered onto the tree branch outside. From there he made his way down, and ran through the shadows of the streets to his gang's meeting place.

Ara had come from her job over to the gang hide out. She was still covered in a layer of grease and oil from working with cars and such almost the entire afternoon. Her parents knew she wouldn't be back until a lot later into the night and they had no problems understanding Arashi could take care of herself. She was watching the entrance at the moment making sure no one got near that wasn't supposed to.

Are they really not coming out tonight? Asa knew not to underestimate the Blue moon gang, but they shouldn't underestimate her group either. Most nights they wouldn't bother each other, but sometimes a fight would come out of no where. "Well, seems clear tonight." She decided to join the other and just have fun drinking tonight. Asa loved the nights she could just hang out and not worry. Although tomorrow she had to go to a party with her parents. She hated them. Behind her back her parents have been talking about an arranged marriage, but there was no way in hell she was going to go through with that. She chugged down a bottle of beer without a care in the world.

Someone stood, watching the entrance to the hide out. He could see her as clear as day.
Ara…
Ara had been a part of his gang for quite some time, though he never really knew how she joined. Usually people only joined the Blue Moon gang if they were chosen by Kira, however, the boy had no recollection of choosing Ara. on the other hand, he was no way inclined to kick her out. She was a useful, loyal asset to his group, which was more than could be said for some of the members that were actually chosen.
All I know is that she does this for her family, but why my gang, why not the Arc Angels?
As he approached the entrance, he picked up a small stone from the ground and launched it at the doorway. The stone broke into pieces as it came into contact with hidden laser beams, which revealed themselves after coming into contact with said stone. They were a little something that his resident computer whiz managed to build and install into the hide out. However, they could only be turned on and off from inside the building.
Guess I'll just have to do this the hard way… Kira thought with a sigh. He sauntered up to the lasers with a tired, defeated look on his face. "Araaaaaaaaaa? Please turn them off." he pouted for effect.

Ara saw Kira walking up to the entrance, and she had never hid her intentions of joining, but kept the reasons why close to heart. He, of course, checked for the lasers before finding them on. She had left them on for the people stupid enough to try and just walk in. Ara had a light smirk deciding to have a little fun with the leader before calling back, "Got a password for me?"

Mre was sitting in the park, escaping his loud family for a bit to do some studying. He knew it was only the start of this year, but he wanted to be prepared for college exams he would have to start taking. It was a pretty quiet night in the park, a few teens sitting on the swings and smoking, but that was about it people wise. However, this time was the best time to observe any of the animals that came out.

They hadn't used passwords since the gang first began! Kira let out a long groan, kicking at the dirt as he paced around, trying to think of what the password would be. Birthday would be too predictable, so would a colour or animal. He had a feeling he knew what the password was, but saying it would bring him some amount of shame.
I thought she had grown out of teasing me, just because I can't argue with her doesn't mean she has power over me. Well, in some way it did.
He came to a halt and stared above the lasers. If I climb onto the roof behind me I can fire an arrow at the button, no, that wouldn't work, I would break the machine.
Reluctantly he mumbled his answer. "Ara is the best girl in the world?"

Ara heard his answer, and moved her hand to almost flip the switch. She would have taken whatever he said, but saying that just was the icing on top of the cake. There was no password at the moment, just Arashi being a little butt. She didn't let her smirk grow before she shouted back, "What was that? I couldn't hear you."

Kira clenched his fists, he should have chosen something different to say had he known she was just been an ass. Hopefully no one else was inside the hide out yet, if they were he was about to get no rest for the next few days. He glanced around him, no one was watching from outside.
Why I put myself through this I will never know.
His fists relaxed and he took a deep breath. "I saID, ARA IS THE BEST GIRL IN THE WORLD!"

Ara let out a short laugh before turning the lasers off. She had a grin on before slipping it off again. She couldn't show that much emotion, not to the other gang members, "Correct! Though anything you would have said also would have been correct. The lasers are off now."

"Boss." Asa turned to look at Jax one of the gang members. He jerked his head to the entrance and saw one of the enemy gang members walking by. "Leave him, he's not bothering us." Even though she said that, she kept a close eye on him in case he started something. Right now she didn't want to ruin her fun. "Keep a close eye on him." Jax nodded and headed to the roof to watch. Asa had a bad feeling and set her beer down. She decided to follow behind him. Grabbing her baseball bat, she headed out into the dark.

"I can see that." Kira mumbled, walking through the gap where the lasers once were. He was about to make his way over to Ara to give her a little thump on the arm, but snickers and giggles caused him to stop in his tracks. Slowly, with something of a pained smile, Kira turned on the balls of his feet, and came face to face with the rest of his gang members. Each and every one of them had smirks on their faces. He glared daggers, his eyes shining dangerously underneath his hood. Instantly they turned away and went about their business like nothing had happened. Kira turned to Ara with a concerned frown. "Miki is missing, where is he?"

Ara looked around the gang for a quick second. She didn't recall Miki leaving, or even entering in the first place. She let out a slight shrug, "I don't know. He didn't show today. The only idea I have is that he might have gone to scout around. That could be a problem if it's true though."

"If he's out there alone who knows what could happen if the Arc Angels get to him." Kira knew that Miki was more of a pushover than one to stand up for himself, he was only young after all. "I'm going to go and search for him, do you think you can handle things here until I get back?"

"I could," Ara agreed with him. She looked around the gang, "Or any other person here could and I could come with. If someone spotted him, it's more likely they'll be two or more people. Do you really want to go up against Arc Angels alone with Miki? Or with Miki and me?"

"I'd rather face her alone." Kira knew that only one person would be on the prowl if Miki had been spotted. That being said, he didn't like saying no to Ara. "You may come along if you wish, but do so at your own risk." Without another word, Kira turned to leave the building, lowering his hood. If he was to fight tonight, he wanted her to see him.

Ara gestured to one of the other gang members to take her place before heading out after Kira. She wasn't going to let him go alone, even if he was sure it was just going to be her. She didn't like the idea of someone going alone our into Arc Angels territory, even though that person was the gang leader.

Asa followed in the darkness, stalking, the kid? He seems young, I wonder why Kira would bring such a young kid into the gang. Jax was following from above. He was the one right under Asa and he best fighter besides herself. "Asa, your not going soft are you?" Jax asked through the ear com. "Of course not." But in reality she had a soft spot for weak people. The feeling of protecting someone felt good. Maybe it was because her parents ignored her, so she got bullied a lot. In the distance she heard foot steps and turned into a corner and watched from the shadows. "Jax be careful." Blue Moon, it had to be.
