Kira finds herself on a stroll through the streets, thinking on what to do about her current situation. She needed to take a breather and this was the only way possible she could come up with. As different plans and thoughts clouded her mind, clouds rolled in, covering the once bright and sunny sky.

Thunder could be heard rumbling in the distance as rain began to fall slightly, barely wetting her pale skin. Kira doesn't seem to notice it and continues walking, turning a corner. What did bring her out of her trance was a strong hand gripping her arm, and another covering her mouth with a piece of cloth. It dragged her into the alleyway and the more she struggled and breathed, the more faint she felt.

The drug on the cloth knocks her out soon, and men dressed in black began to gather in the alley, tying up her arms and legs. As the others left, one man stayed, a red paint can in hand. In big, bold and bright red letters, he painted two letters:

V.W.

~*****~

Kira soon awakes hours after in a place foreign to her, bound by strong ropes around her wrists and ankles. "Not again..." she growls, beginning to squirm to get out of the ropes. "Tch, assholes... HEY! LET ME OUT!"

She begins to struggle violently, trying her best to wriggle out the bindings. "Princess is finally awake..." an oddly familiar voice cackles in the shadows. Judging by the all steel and metal structure, and the catwalks hanging above, Kira could tell it was a warehouse.

A man slowly walks out of the darkness, a smirk playing on the man's lips. And instantly, Kira's mind flashes back to the day that the Venom Wolves have taken her, it was the same man. A bandage was tightly wrapped around his thigh, the spot where Soryu had shot him a year ago.

"What do you want from me?" she growls through gritted teeth, balling her hands into fists. "Simple, you, my darling, can get me leadership over the Ice Dragons through blackmail." he snickers, smirking confidently. "Ha," she scoffs. "In your wildest dreams."

His hand falls to strike her cheek as he growls, "After last time, I don't have much patience anymore. So unless you want to get hurt, I suggest you keep your mouth shut."

"And I should listen to you why? My brother's coming for me, along with his friends and the cops. You don't stand a- ARGH!" a gunshot rings out and a bullet shoots right through her calf, clean right through. "I said SHUT UP!" he nudges the gun at her thigh next, silently threatening to shoot her once more. 

Of course, Kira doesn't follow the orders, and continues ranting off to distract him. "This is just for now, you'll be down on your knees sooner." she grins despite her eye twitching from the mocking pain in her bottom leg. "I'll give you another chance to be quiet, princess, before I shoot you once more."

"No chance I-" and again, the gun goes off, a bullet through her thigh. "CRAP! STOP!" she howls in pain, trying her best to stop the pain, but couldn't clutch her leg as her hands were bound.

"I gave you chances, princess, and you took them all." He cackles and with the butt of the gun, hits her across the cheek, possibly leaving a bruise for later. Kira hisses in pain and blood begins to trickle from her nose.

"What's wrong? Does it hurt?" he laughs, pulling out a carving knife, bringing it close to her neck. Her raven hair falls over her hair as she seizes, not moving an inch. "Let me go." she orders firmly, glaring up at him.

"I think you got our situation wrong here, princess. I'm in charge, and listen to what I say, don't move. Your brother should be here anytime soon..."

"Yeah, with your death certificate." despite her already stinging pain, Kira still finds her voice to retort to the man. "I told you to be quiet..." he says darkly and a fists lands on Kira's mouth, cutting her lip and making it bleed.

"Oh, I know, let's play a game." he chuckles and tugs her off the chair, shoving her on her knees on the floor. She cries out, pain shooting through her right leg. "Shut it!" a gun was shoved towards the back of her head makes her fall silent quickly.

"Good, you're a fast learner, princess." he laughs and slowly places the gun away. He was about to talk once more when the door bursts open and as Kira has hoped and expected, the 5 bidders stood there, Soryu and Mamoru holding guns.

Soryu's eyes narrow angrily once he sees his sister down and bleeding. But then, the man points his gun at the bidders, along with other men in black, who were all lurking out of the shadows. "Outnumbered..." Soryu mutters.

"Dragons!" he suddenly calls, and Ice Dragons start bursting in, through small windows, behind crates, and through the doors behind the bidders. "Put your hands up, boy." Soryu orders, slowly walking to the man.

"Stay away, or I'll brow her brains out!" he threatens, grabbing Kira by the neck and nuzzling the gun's barrel towards her temple. Like last time, he began to choke her, and since Kira was already injured, it didn't take her much time to start begging for help.

"Soryu... help, p-p-please..." she wheezes out, her eyes starting to droop close. "Tick tock, Oh, we don't have all day."

"Alright! Just let her go!" the mobster was desperate and the man finally loosens his grip on Kira, who meekly opens her eyes. "Y-You b-b-bastard..." she pants, falling to her knees. "Bitch!" the man grows with rage and grabs a fistful of her hair, landing a kick into her stomach.

"AAGH! SORYU!" She collapses onto her side, clutching her stomach. She bgeins to cough up blood, spitting it out on the floor. "Alright, Inui, attack them, let no one go." A fire was burning in Soryu's eyes as he orders the ginger.

"Alright, boys, let's go!" The Ice Dragons begin shooting, including Mamoru and Soryu. "Shit... Ota, take Kira out, go get her and I'll cover you." Soryu drags Ota, shielding him as he helps Kira up. "GET OUT!" the mobster screams and for once, Ota doesn't object and does so, helping Kira out.

What Soryu didn't notice was that the man slipped out the warehouse, following Kira and Ota out. And he didn't see so until a sharp shriek tore through the air. It was Kira.

~*****~

Soryu wastes no time and orders Inui to take charge as he leads the bidders to the scream. They found Kira lying and bleeding profusely in Ota's arms as he cradles her in his arms, kneeling on the ground. 

Kira's raven hair was stained red with blood, and so was the pavement and her clothes. Ways ahead was the man, running away. Soryu narrows his eyes and doesn't hesitate to shoot him, right through the head.

The bidders stare as Ota holds Kira gently, desperately trying to stop the bleeding from her neck, where she was shot. "It hurts..." she whispers.

"Bear with me for now, Kira... Help's almost here." he encourages quietly, tears beginning to brim in his eyes and the bidders were shocked, they had never seen such a side to their friend. 

"Please, stay with me here, Kira."

"I need you here with me. And if I have to, it'll be the last thing I do."
