Arashi pushed off the wall. She eyed Len suspiciously for a few seconds before shrugging and making her way towards the gang entrance. She gave Len a slight nod, "Sure."
Before she left she gave Kira a wave without turning around, "See ya tomorrow Kira."
"I can't believe they just left a girl here." Pulling at the chains, she was hoping one was loose enough that she could slip out. They definitely know what they are doing. Which gang are they again? They were so insignificant that she completely forgot. "Damn it! Let me out you fuckers." She screamed at the top of her lunges, clearly knowing no one would hear. She hoped a random person would find her. They obviously know about both my sides. She should have been more careful. This wasn't the first time, Asa has been targeted because of her father's shady business. "All night huh?" Taking a deep breath she began to sing. It was no surprise she could sing, her parents put in in a bunch of things to make sure she would succeed in something.
(This is what she sang but only the girl part. This is what I imagine her voice sounds like.)
(I'm sorry, I have to get some rest since I'm at work in a few hours. I'll respond when I get home)
(I might skip to morning soon. )
(Okay, I just have one thing in mind with Miki and then I don't have much planned for the night time)
(Alright.)
(……)
(….)
(I'm waiting for Lee+Co to do the thing with Miki so I can skip to morning.)
(I know. But the question be, where are they?)
(I'm so sorry, I wasn't well last night!)
After everyone had left the hideout, Kira turned to Miki with a smile. "You're a lot smarter than you play yourself off to be."
"You've noticed?" The boy gazed at the ground, kicking the air between him and the floor. "I think you're the only person who thinks I'm of any use to this gang."
Everyone had said that to him, everyone apart from Arashi.
"You know, as part of being a leader, you must be able to recognise potential in others that they don't even see in themselves, and help them to bring out what makes them unique." Kira pulled up a stuffed dummy and left it standing between himself and Miki. "You are extremely perceptive, Miki, and that is a skill that even I don't have. Something you lack, however, is your ability to hold your own in a fight." he gestured to the dummy. "I want you to imagine that this dummy is an enemy. Give it everything you have."
At first, Miki was a little hesitant. He knew himself that he wasn't that good at fighting, however he knew that if he hoped to stay as part of the gang he would need to prove he was capable of fighting. He'd seen what the others do during practice, he'd noted a few of their techniques – although there were a few techniques he couldn't wrap his head around, like Kira's.
Miki took a deep breath, staring intensely at the dummy. Perhaps if I use Akane's technique, or possibly Len's?
"I think that's enough for tonight."
Miki turned to Kira with wide eyes, and was a little shocked to see the leader smiling. He hadn't even gotten a chance to attack the dummy!
"In the time it took you to figure out who's technique you were going to copy, the enemy could have pinned you down or got you in a choke hold." Kira patted Miki on the back, guiding him out of the hideout. He switched on the lasers, quickly getting out in the 3 second delay the timer gave him. "Where are you staying tonight?"
"Uhm.. I hadn't thought that far. Possibly a friend's house?" In truth, Miki was just going to go back to the same old house he ever returned to. He never wanted to return to his mother, but sometimes he didn't have a choice.
"You're staying with me tonight." Kira corrected him, leading the way back to his house. "My parents won't mind, and besides, we both have things to do tomorrow."
"If you're sure… Thank you."
They made it back to Kira's house, climbed the tree outside his window, and sighed in relief when they sat down on Kira's bed. Kira allowed Miki to borrow a set of pyjamas, and as soon as their heads his the pillows they were dead to the world. As soon as the sun rose, they would be back to their normal lives, and everything would repeat again.
The morning sun warmed Asa's face as it shone through the window. Her head was tilted to one side as she slept. This seemed like an unusual place to sleep, but Asa had trained herself to sleep anywhere, especially if she was going to be out all night. A loud bang came from the door as the doors slammed open, jolting Asa awake. "Are you ready to talk?" Asa watched as a guy with brown shaggy hair and green eyes walked her way. His eyes bore into hers eyes he crouched down to her level. "Like I said, I don't know where he is." Immediately a pain burst throughout her stomach when a girl kicked her. It was hard to breathe as she tried to catch her breath. Damn! a grinned appeared on his face. "Well if you don't know, then we'll wait till tonight and have him come to us. His sweet Asa in danger, how awful." Asa grinned as well. "Guess you didn't know I was kicked out of Blue Moon. Trust me he won't come." Saying that made her sad. The only person she'd want to save her is Kira. "My parents will come looking for me. So sorry to disappoint, but I won't be here tonight." He scowled and walked out in frustration, and his hang followed behind.
( @ReedOfTheAges you should have your character find Asa.)
Arashi woke up and realized she had slept without washing herself free of the oil stains. She let out a sigh and got up, the first thing she did was take a cold shower to get all the grim off of her. Warm water was expensive, and they tried to only take one warm shower a month to help keep the water bill down. She finished getting ready and looked to the calendar on the wall of her room. She had to go to school, ugh, and then over to the shop, better. Ara just had to not die or show herself while at school.
(Since no one else is on, does Ara want to find Asa? But not know she's the leader of Arc Angels.)
(We can do that.)
(Awesome, she just in an abandoned warehouse chained up.)
(Got it.)
Ara started her way to leave the slummy area of town, her bag slung across her shoulder and laying at her hip, and walked past an abandoned warehouse. She heard voices go from the inside before moving outside and let out a small sigh. She muttered to herself as she began to sneak her way into the warehouse, "I swear. Why this warehouse? There are lots of other places to stash people." She reached inside her pocket to pull out an indigo bandana before tying it around her face to cover both her mouth and nose. As she stepped inside she glanced around to make sure there were no one guarding the person before stepping inside and up to the girl who was stuck here. Arashi said nothing as she began to work on the chains and locks to get this girl out. The girl probably needed to get to school too.
"Oh. Thank you." Asa couldn't make out who the person was but she was extremely grateful. Thank goodness the other people weren't around was the chains were off Asa rubbed her wrists, which were very red. Asa smiled at the girl, "is there anything I can do to thank you?" It would be rude not too, plus she needed to keep up the act. I'm so late for school.
Ara put chains carefully on the floor and wiped her hands on her pants to get them semi clean again. She looked back to the other girl, her violet eyes lighting up a little as the sun hit them slightly, and shrugged, "If you've got some money, I wouldn't be opposed to having a little. Otherwise, just don't get yourself kidnapped again."
"How much do you want?" Money was not a problem for Asa. The thing was she didn't have any on her. "I mean I don't have any on me at the moment, but I could leave some here later for you to pick up. Or I could meet you somewhere?" Asa's pink hair shined in the sun and flowed with the breeze that came from the window. She didn't know who this girl was, but she was pretty and seemed to know what she was doing.
Arashi began to move out of the warehouse keeping eyes to keep checking if people were coming here. She glanced back at the other girl with a skeptical look on her face. This girl said Ara could ask for as much money as she wanted, and then would drop it off wherever for Arashi to pick it up, "There's an auto shop called 'Higaki's Motors' a little bit a ways from here. Go there after school and ask for Stormy. Bring as much cash as you want."
"Alright, no problem." Asa smile and ran to the door. She spun around and bowed showing her thanks. It will have to be after school, but before the party tonight. Asa was not excited for that, tonight her parents were introducing her to her fiance. Just thinking about it made her cringe. There had to be a way out of this, and Asa was going to find it. She ran home, hoping her parents weren't awake. Again she climbed up the side of her house and into her room. Getting her school clothes on all she could think about was wanting to be with her gang. A sigh escaped her lips as she put her fluffy pink hair into a ponytail. "I'm off to school!" No response, like usual. Asa liked walking to school, being dropped off in a fancy car and having a lot of attention was something she hated. But having fan clubs and people fawning over her did stop. When she got to the gates people screamed and took pictures. Smiling like normal she let them.
Ara had a smile on as she continued her way to school. She had arrived early, as usual for her, and went to the corner of the courtyard under a large shady tree. She didn't really have any friends here, just people she could tolerate. Of course, they were others that she couldn't. Like all the screaming fangirls, and oh god there they go again. Arashi let out a little huff of air, couldn't they just be quiet for one day? It was just a person right? Not some big time celebrity anyway.
"Asa you beautiful this morning as always." The class president said as he walked next to her. "Ah, thank you." Asa wasn't necessarily friends with anyone here, but she did talk to people, one of those including the class president. He was tall and slim with normal brown hair and eyes. Glasses sat upon his nose as he smiled at her. It's not like she asked for this, it sort of just happened. But with all her fans, she definitely had haters as well. Claiming she's fake, or that she stole multiple boyfriends. Never once in her life has she ever had a boyfriend and she's only loved one person for as long as she can remember. Kira. Sadly he didn't come to this school. "Will you be joining the student council today." He's asked this every day since school started again. "Sorry no. I just want to go to class. But Thank you." A fake smile like always appeared on her face. Waving goodbye she walked into the building.
