Heat rose through Len's entire body as Kyo returned his initial kiss. His arms snaked around the back of the other man's neck, his fingers weaving up into his hair. Would someone walk in on them? Not likely. With everything going on, the rest of the gang members were too busy preparing for a fight. Every worry, every doubt that had ever crossed Len's mind, faded away. Right there, in the moment, everything was about Kyo. He'd felt this way for a long time, but with the two of them being in rival gangs it was difficult to even mutter a short greeting to each other. What had sparked the feelings? It sort of just happened one day when they were teenagers. Len knocked on Kyo's door so they could walk together to school, like they always did, and when the latter appeared in the doorway with a bright smile on his lips, and when Len's heart skipped a couple of beats, that's when he knew. He didn't want to pull away, not for even a second, with Kyo everything felt right with the world. Tell me, Kyo, do you love me the way I love you?

The five kids glanced around the empty room, wondering what on earth Kira was going to show them. But when he smiled, and closed the door, they knew he wasn't inclined to tell them his secret. The lock clicked before any of them had the chance to react.
"It's for your own good, you're young, I can't risk you getting hurt." he muttered, wandering off back towards the main gathering room. He was a little surprised to see Coco and Asa becoming quite friendly with each other, but that didn't stop him from approaching them. "It's good to see you both again." his expression was firm, betraying no hint of weakness. "I see you have brought Makita back with you."

Coco smiled and led him to Makita. Maki heard the foot steps and looked up. Her long black hair fell behind her. Her mask on her face. All she did was look at him before turning back to her laptop. "Sorry about her, she's… something else." Coco led him away before Maki could say something insulting. "Anyway, now we need to find Fox, he's our last one."

Kyo pulled Len onto his lap, this was something he wanted for a while, but was he ready for the commitment? Kyo had a tendency of running away from the good things in life, and he wasn't sure why. His hands ran through Len's hair, he knew they needed to head back out, but he didn't want to stop this. "We need to head back out." Kyo said in between kisses. There was work to do. A little longer wouldn't be bad though, right? It's not like something extreme was about to happen.

Kira glanced over his shoulder at Maki, his eyes narrowing slightly. "There's something not quite right about her, I feel like she has something else in mind rather than just helping us to get Asa back." he shook his head, he was probably just being paranoid. "Anyway I hear that this Fox person is difficult to find, how are you going to proceed in your search for him?"

Len pulled back a little, just enough so that when he spoke his lips moved against Kyo's. "So you want this to stop?" he trailed the kisses, very slowly, down Kyo's neck and collarbone. He was right though, they had work they needed to do, but his heart told him not to let Kyo go. He knew about the man's tendency to vanish for a while, and if he was to leave now then who knew when they would see each other next. I locked the door anyway, unless Kyo wants to leave then no one is going to force us out.

Kyo sighed. He wanted nothing more than to stay, but Asa was kidnapped, sure he didn't really know the girl, but no one should go through something like. Gently he pushed away Len and smiled, "I'm sorry. Maybe we can save this for another time." He felt bad, but Kyo took his job very seriously. Picking up his mask he gave Len one last kiss before unlocking the door and walking out. He slipped on his mask as he rounded the corner he heard Kira and Coco talking about him. "I heard my name." Coco jumped a bit and Fox laughed. "You really have to stop doing that. Kira this is Fox, Fox, Kira." Coco then walked away and towards Ara again, although this time she wasn't sure of what to say. Ara probably had questions or even worse, just straight up didn't care, which scared Coco more than her having questions. "So, you're the famous Kira. We heard a lot about you. Kira is a hot topic at our gang." Jax rolled his eyes and walked over. "Fox, that's enough." Jax hated the mention of Kira at all. Jax's obsession with Asa was almost as bad as Ryuu's, and Fox had noticed that for a while. Sure he didn't know Asa well, but she took him in when everyone else rejected him, well everyone besides Len. But Fox cared for Asa like a little sister, that mostly why he stuck around. To keep an eye on Jax.

Ara had been just surveying the gang. She was ready to go, but the others still needed time and they needed to find that last member. She looked over to spot Coco coming her way, Arashi gave her a little wave. She figured that she found Kira and now Kira was going to find Fox. Or something like that.

Coco gave Ara a little wave before sitting down. Today was exhausting and all she wanted to do was sleep. Everyone is here, so we should be good to start planning everything. Coco's golden eyes began to shut, but she made sure to listen to her surroundings well. Being in another gangs territory was still dangerous, but her eyes were tired.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Fox." Kira nodded his head in greeting, ignoring the little comments from Fox and Jax. He still didn't quite like the fact that Jax had to work with them, but it was all for Asa's sake. "I believe you are the informant of the Arc Angels?"

Len made his way out to the main room, where all the other gang members were. Time to be serious. As much as he hated himself for what happened only moments ago, he never regretted a single moment of it. Only thing that was left to do now was to watch as Kyo became Fox and ran away from him again. He was used to it by now, but that didn't mean he liked it. He made his way over to Kira, letting him know that he was taking Kano and Miki outside to talk to them, then proceeded to do just that. Never once did he glance in Kyo's direction.
"I'm giving the two of you directions to Ryuu's last known location. You aren't likely to find much, but anything you do find may help us find out where his current location is. Be on your guard, he might have rigged the place with traps."
"You can count on us." Miki and Kano replied in unison. Kano ran off to fetch his motorbike, throwing a helmet to Miki, shouting to get on. Not a moment later, the two of them were down the road, becoming nothing more than a speck in the distance.

As Len walked by not giving Fox one glance hurt him, but he also didn't look. "Yeah, and I must speak to you immediately. Alone." Jax tugged on Foxes shoulder pulling him back. "Not without me you won't. Now Fox was one of the biggest guys in the room, in height and body mass. "Be careful who you cross, Jax." With Foxes mask on he seemed a but more intimidating. All Jax did was click his and walk away. "Like I said, alone." Fox looked back to Kira, hoping he would hear the urgency in his voice. Asa might be in real trouble if they don't find her quickly.
Maki looked up very interested in what was happening. "But first," He walked over to Coco, and kicked her lightly. "Fox what is it?" She groaned. Fox sighed and went to Ara instead. "Listen closely," He whispered, "Jax and Maki can't be trusted. You and Coco need to watch them. I'm also, I'm getting weird vibes from Yuki." All Fox could think about was how bad Asa's gang was falling apart and he and Coco were the only stable ones. Once down he patted her on the shoulder and walked away. "Alright, ready. Do you have any place where we can talk?" Fox asked moving back over to Kira.

"Of course, right this way." Kira's expression betrayed no emotion as he turned on his heels and escorted Fox to a room down the hall. Unbeknownst to him, it was also the room that Len had taken him to. After Fox was in the room, he closed the door and made himself comfortable on one of the desks. He crossed his legs and placed his hands together, pressing his fingertips to his lips. "So, what did you wish to discuss?"

Fox laid the document in Kira's lap. The picture of Ryuu's mom was inside. They were a few differences, like the hair color. Ryuu's mom had blonde hair, but it was long and slightly wavy like Asa's, but it was uncanny how much their faces and body structure looked alike. "This is Ryuu's mom. Doesn't she look like someone?" Fox, sat next to Kira. "Ryuu has a mother complex, and I have a feeling Asa may be related to him somehow and she has no idea." Ryuu was a messed up kid. He either had a thing for one of his relatives, which sent shivers down Foxes spine, or he's using her to fill the hole his mother left behind. While in this room, Fox couldn't help but remember his and Len's time in here. Stop thinking about it. You have work to do.

Ara heard Fox's message and gave him a slight nod as he left. At least, she assumed it was Fox. No one in Blue Moon wore a mask to her knowledge. Besides she could already tell as much from her two alterations with them. It seemed like most of Arc Angels were extremely unstable for one way or another.

"No chance in hell is Asa related to that scum." Kira spat, staring at the picture of Ryuu's mother. However the longer he looked at the picture, the more sense it made. Now that he thought about it, Asa looked nothing like her parents, not even the eyes could be compared to each other. "Is it possible that Ryuu's mother conceived another child before her passing? And that child was given to another family to look after?" It made sense in his head, just a little less sense when he said it out loud. He had known Asa since they were kids, but he never suspected anything unusual.

"It could be possible." Fox smiled under his mask, and you could hear the excitement in his voice. "Would you like some hospital records?" Doing hospital records was one of his favorite things, you could find out so much about a person with just those records. "It may take me a bit longer to get them though." Getting info was easy, getting actual offical documents wasn't easy. But… "Or we have someone else who could do it, but she'll want something in return." He figured it would be in Kira's best interest to just let him do it, but if he was desperate and wanted it faster, Maki was the person to do that.

Coco had let her guard down and officially and fell asleep. She slowly started to fall but was stopped by Ara's leg. With everything that's happened she was exhausted and figured she deserved to sleep for a bit.

Ara glanced down as she felt something against her leg. Coco seemed to have fallen asleep. Arashi didn't think that was the best move, but she definitely wasn't going to do anything now. She hadn't planned to in the first place, but now she had to watch over Coco and not move.

"I think it would be better if you were to retrieve the documents, I have a feeling that it would be unwise to ask a certain hacker to try and get them." Kira wasn't oblivious to the fact that there was something not quite right about Makita, though he couldn't place his finger on what. She was too quiet for his liking, and he was always taught to be suspicious of the quiet ones. Probably why he trusted Miki so much, because even though he was a quiet boy, he could do a lot of damage that other members of the gang wouldn't be able to inflict even if they tried. "How long do you think it will take you to get your hands on them?"

"A week at most." Fox felt bad, but he did things the old fashioned way, he never liked computers much. "I could try and get them faster, maybe talk to some people I know." He folded his hands in his lap, thinking of anyone who could help. Or maybe, he could find someone close to Asa's parents and find something out. There's two ways to do that. "Do you have someone who's really good at getting into people's heads?" Fox was good at getting info from people who were willing to share, but people who weren't, it was a bit more difficult. Deep down inside he wanted it to be Len, but on the other hand, if it was Len he would probably get distracted.

Kira thought for a moment, the only person whom he was confident could get into people's heads was Len. Despite the chilled out personality he put afront, Len was one of the most deadliest members of the gang. Strangely, Len had quite a gift for getting under a person's skin and making them confess literally anything. He'd also had a hand in getting rid of a lot of the old Blue Moon members… "The only one that immediately comes to mind is Len. That guy scares me to death half the time. Something about that tone of voice he uses when he means business." A smile grew on Kira's lips. "Do you think you'd be able to handle working with him?"

Fox knew this was going to happen
He knew all too well how Len was, but he was really hoping for someone else. Lie, he wanted more time with Len. "Yeah, I can work with him." Fox made sure to keep him voice even. "I'll wait here for you to get him, then I'll explain everything." (Sorry it's short.)

(That's okay I understand)
With a short nod, Kira left the room to find Len. The man was leaning against a tree outside, fiddling with a zippo lighter. The clicking ceased when he noticed Kira approaching him.
"Is everything okay?"
"I need you to come with me, I have a task for you."
Len followed Kira back to the room, and his eyebrow arched when he found Kyo in the same room. "What's this about?"
