"Did i win?" i shouted while playing poker with Kazura. We are currently on their house and i enjoyed the games he prepared.

Kazura deserves a lot of friends, he is kind, generous and caring.

I feel sad knowing i will live him behind next week. I have to go back to my normal life as YN and not Astrid.

To bad, your mom didn't agree that the both of you will stay with your father. Either Astrid stays with her or you will stay in yokohama.

Its pisses you off thinking you can't be together.

"Okay, its getting late. I have to go home kazura-kkun."  you said while packing your bag shoving your phone inside and some snacks you pick on kazuras table.

"I'll walk you home. Its dangerous outside." he said.

"Im more dangerous Kazura" you look at him with no expression, still. Its sends shivers down his spine.

He gulped but still insisted, at least just near the bus station, he pleaded.

"Okay, okay , its not like someone would kidnap me or anything.." you looked at him while smiling. The two of you walked to the nearest bus stop.

No one was there and it was dark. Kazura keep talking about the drama series you two have watch and spoiling some of the few episodes.

You are walking ahead of him while listening to his endless talking.

You stop when you suddenly notice, he's not talking anymore and suddenly stopped. You turn your back and your eyes widened when you found him unconscious with a handkerchief on his mouth and being carried by a large man with scar on his face.

What the fuck is this? Kidnapping?

You scanned their faces and notice they are wearing the same maroon uniform and on the side it says "Tenjiku".

Ohhh shit, this is bad.

Time to run..

You were about to escape when you bump on someone's chest. He immediately put a handkerchief covering your mouth and nose.

You are aware that they have put chloroform on those handkerchief so you control your breathing and concentrate. You also pretended to be asleep.

Somehow, the scent made you feel dizzy but you are still concious. They carried you into a van with kazura and drive off.

You scanned the people around you with one eye open.

There are 6 of them in the van, after 10 minutes the van stops and they carried you out and tie you on a chair.

Not long after, You heard a loud and heavy footsteps walking toward you.

You still pretended to be asleep. You took a glimpse to look for kazura and there he is tied in front of you a few meters away.

You can clearly hear people talking.

"I'll take care of her myself. She ruined my pretty face." you heard a voice that sounded like Yuri. You almost chuckle from what you just heard. I surely beat the shit out of her last time. I wonder what she look like.

"Do what you have to do, just dont kill them. Police and dumping their bodies are such pain in the ass.. Its a lot of work" the one named Kakucho said.

"Thank you so much president for helping us get our revenge" i heard a group of girls thanking someone, he didn't answer back. I think its not the one they called kakucho.

That kakucho guy sounded like he was the right hand man.. Then who are they calling president.

"Just make it quick, i dont want to waste my time here" finally, that must be their president speaking.

After a few minutes, i can feel someone tap my shoulder.

"Wake up sleeping beauty "  yuri said and i open my eyes acting like i just woke up.

"Where am i? Oh? Hey there Yuri.. Geez you look like shit"  you said with a stoic expression then chuckled.

"You little shit" she said while holding a metal pipe.

"What now? Your gonna hit me with that while im tied up? Your that weak?" you said taunting her still.

You laughed so loud it echoed inside the building. You look around and saw some people standing in the dark, you cant see their faces clearly.

You narrowed you eyes before speaking again.

" You guys are bunch of pussies"  you said before spitting on the side.

"Dont act tough Astrid, you forget the fact that you just got dragged here and now tied up" Yuri said while some vains are popping on her forehead. Her grip on the metal pipe gets tighter.

What Yuri said made you laughed again.

"First of all, i let them carried me. I pretended to be asleep. The six of them inside the van clearly doesn't have any idea im awake. I know where we are right now.. The exact location to be specific. "

"Second, you are all bunch of cowards for dragging a girl and a fragile nerd into your hideout . You guys even have the audacity to use chloroform and tie us up like you can't even handle us. Are you that scared of the two of us.?"

"Third, didn't i told you the last time that you'll regret it if you bother me again.?"

You continue to laugh like a maniac, then you look at Kazura. Im sorry Kazura you got dragged into this.

You can feel a pair of purple eyes are looking at you from a far. That person seems to be smirking.

What Yuri didnt notice is that you already untied the rope on your back. This shit is basic. They cant even tie it properly.

Yuri had enough of you and now raising her hand and ready to hit your head with a metal pipe.

She swing the pipe as hard as she can but you caught it.

Everyone was surprised when they saw your hands are freed and its now holding the pipe.

I guess i have to beat you up into a pulp again this time around.

"Im getting tired of this shit." you said before kicking her chin upward and carried the chair throwing it to the girls at the back.

Now you were the one holding the pipe.

"What the fuck are you staring at bitches, attack me!" taunting them even more was your specialty.

After a few seconds, all 12 of them are now on the ground, you have blood all over your clothes and face.

You dropped the pipes while looking around. Seeing 15 men surrounding you and Kazura who is still tied up and asleep.

" Okay, no rush.. Everyone will get the pain they ask for." you smirked while looking at the tenjiku members around you.

Fighting guys were such a pain in the ass, they are strong and taller so you gonna have to be fast so that they wont catch you.

You already beat 10 men, only 5 left.

The remaining 5 doesn't look like an easy target, you could feel they are strong.

Specially the silver-haired one. He caught your eye.

He doesnt look like a member, his hanafuda earings dangle in the dark.

His hair is swaying together with the wind and his purple eyes are piercing through your soul.

Who the hell is he? He looks strong.

"You must be their leader?" you muttered after beating another guy. Only 4 left.

"Hmm" he hummed in response. But he is still looking at you while smirking.

He walked closer to you and his aura is intimidating.

You dont understand why but your body acted on its own. You started to walk backward.

You stopped your feet from taking another step. Why do i feel scared all of a sudden, this is new.. Im ussually fearless.

You gulped and shake your fears away.

He went even closer to you but you won't let him. So you landed a kick aiming at his neck but he blocked it with his arm.

You are pretty sure you kicked as hard as you can but he dodge the impact.

You clicked your tongue knowing this guys is strong, clenching your right fists and aiming to punch him on the face, he dodge it.

You smirked knowing he fell for your trap.,

You prepared your left arm already by the time you punched your right hand. You launched the left hand straight to his jaw.

He was taken aback.

Your smirked was gone when he only looked down and move a few inches away like it was nothing.

He suddenly spit blood on the ground and lift his head up to look at you.

"That was impressive" was all he said before he grab your wrist and pulled you closer to him. His other hand was on your waist.

His face is only an inch on your face. You can feel his warm breathing and you can also smell his perfume. He smells like lavender.

Shit what was i thinking, im in the middle of life and death situation here. Don't daydream!

You snapped out of your thoughts before responding.

"your men are weak" you smirked at him but he wont stop looking at you.

He glance at your facial feature then landing his eyes on your lips.

"Very interesting indeed" he said while looking at your lips. You blushed from what he did and looked down.

He then let go of you and spoke.

"I'll let you and your friend go in one condition..."

"you will be my girlfriend from now on"

He said and walked away.

"What!!! No way" you shouted and that made him stop from his track's.

"Okay then, kill them kakucho" he signaled kakucho and he took a gun out of his jacket pointing it on kazura first.

Your eyes widened when his index finger was about to pull the trigger without hesitation.

Why the fuck this gang has gun and stuff. Its illegal.

"Stop!!"

"Okay, I agree just dont.. Just dont hurt him" you said while looking down.

You were clenching your fists and greeted your teeth. I cant believe this is happening, what did i got myself into.

"good girl" his words echoed in your mind.

This fucker!

They all left and its just you and Kazura who was still sleeping in the chair. Aside from the unconscious guys you beat up earlier.

You untied his hands and now sitting on the side of the chair where he was sleeping.

You were hugging your knees and your forehead rested on top of your knees.

Astrid, i dont think i could let you go back for now.. I got myself into a big mess and i cant let you get into it either.

I guess the switch will be taking a few more months. I need to figure out a way out of this.
