There is an endless bright glow around the red carpet as hundreds of camera's flash, the three that they are centered on are Haruka Tenou. Well known F1 racer with short dirty blonde hair, green eyes and tallest of the group. She is also known for her short temper and intolerance of failure. On her arm a petite aqua haired woman. With fair skin and deep blue eyes is her long time lover Michiru Kaiou. She is known for her unbelievable exceptions of her staff as much as she is known for her violin. Following behind their pair is their long time friend and roommate Setsuna Meioh. Perhaps the less reactive then the pair this bronze skinned, dark haired woman is still known for requiring long work days, up to 3 days straight. But above all the group is known for being the most stuck up, egotistic celebrities in all of Tokyo.

Haruka grumbles as the group gets in the car, Haruka behind the wheel.

"God I hate these stupid events" Michiru smiles placing a hand on her lover's forearm.

"We all do Haruka, we did our little song and dance now lets just go home."

"Yeah you are right..." Haruka looks in the rear view mirror at the quiet crimson-eyed woman in the back. "Find any datable men at this thing Sets?" The woman looks over and rolls her eyes.

"Not even close, I may just have to build myself one..."

A group of men look up hearing the car, with a grin a man runs out placing a board with nails on in the road.

"Come on.... this should be an easy score..."

Haruka curses as she hits the strip, grumbling about junk in the road. After a few second she raises her eyebrow.

"Great looks like we got a flat...." Haruka groans, pulls out her phone and starts to dial for help.

The group grins and runs over to the car banging on the windows.

"Hey pretty boy give me all your cash and your girls' jewels..." Haruka looks up with a smirk.

"You are kidding right?"

"Does it look like it diva..." The man shatters the window puling Haruka from the car the other 4 of his group pulling out Michiru and Setsuna.

A tall woman is bundled up in the near by alley, legs against her chest an old leather jacket around to keep herself warm. She looks up her pale blue eyes focusing on where the screaming and laughing is coming from. They narrow briefly as she stands brushing dirt from her light red and walks towards the group.

The man laughs as he knocks out Haruka, getting ready to strike again. The others crudely pulling at Setsuna and Michiru's clothes. The tall woman taps the group' leader on the shoulder, he turns around eyes wide with fear, then the others drop Setsuna and Michiru the two getting knocked out when their heads hit the pavement.

Why do I smell leather?

"Ah. Grim...ah...look..." The woman glares at the group who drop all their weapons. "We will leave them alone..." Grim looks over at the unconscious group then back at the men. "Ok Ok..." the group dumps everything they took from the group on the ground then bolts off. With a sigh the woman leans through the open window of the Porsche, pulling open the trunk. After she removes the spare tire, jack and tie iron, she sets them next to the flat tire.

She picks up Haruka, opens the driver's door and places her back into the car, closing the door behind her. She then opens the driver passenger door, placing Michiru and Setsuna in the back before closing that door. She collects all the money,jewelry anything else they took then places it in the passenger front seat before going back to the flat tire.

Setsuna groans as she slowly wakes up her eyes blurry as she looks around.

"Wha.... what am I doing back in the car...." Setsuna looks down at her torn clothes then around the alley. "Those guys are gone...." She looks at Haruka in the front noticing their things in the passenger front seat. "All our things to?" Setsuna raises an eyebrow as she hears a pipe drop she looks over to the left at the rear tire to see Grim tightening the tire on the Porsche. "You..." Grim looks up Setsuna shocked at the pale blue eyes, Grim stands up taking the tire iron, jack and bad tire ,a black cord with a oddly shaped black onyx stone falls back against his chest with the shift of altitude. Grim places the items in the trunk closing it. Looking idly at Setsuna for a moment as Michiru and Haruka start to wake up. "You...you. Got rid of the men..." Setsuna looks behind her at the tire. "And changed the tire...." Grim nods before turning around and disappearing into the alley. Setsuna tries to get out of the car but groans her head throbbing what was on that necklace...all I saw was teeth.

"Setsuna, who was that guy.... with the red hair..." Setsuna looks over at Michiru who is rubbing her head.

"I don't know but..." Setsuna picks up all their jewel and wallets. "He got rid of the thugs and fix the tire...."

"What..." Michiru looks at Haruka, who leans out the door eyes wide with shock.

"Son of a bitch he did, wonder why he did not stay around for a reward."

"I don't know it is the strangest thing, no pictures, blackmailing nothing did not say a word."

"He just helped and left?"

"Yeah he just looked at me nodded and left.

"The guy saves the lives of the 3 most famous stars in Tokyo and then you wonder off with out a word?" Haruka shakes her head and starts the car. "That is just strange I have never seen anyone that would even get me a cup of coffee without wanting something back." The group heads home, shaking slightly as they close the garage door.

"Don't suppose you got a name?" Both Michiru and Setsuna shake their heads no.

"I don't Ruka think we have to find this guy and thank him at least." Haruka stops then looks over her shoulder at Michiru and Setsuna.

"Sets?"
"I agree with Michiru, guy saves our lives, probably kept me and Michiru from being raped. Got all our things back and fixed the car so we could get home." Haruka sighs and sits heavily on the near by couch.

"Ok so now what?"

Grim yawns as she stops at a near by alley getting curled up again, against a nearby brick wall. God that woman was breath taking, now Erin come on the dirt off her shoes is worth more then you. She is looking for a husband too, you bloody idiot. I hope they got home ok, they maybe asses but they still no not deserve to be attacked like that. Erin looks up at the sky, a light hue of yellow from the street lights mixing with the blue of the skies. Erin frowns as her stomach growls, and shakes her head. I have a knife fight tomorrow should be able to eat afterwards...Erin looks down at her tattered leather boots, soles coming off the bottom, pants shred along ago they now are shorts, her shirt long gone, only a old worn black leather jacket covering her lithe form. A necklace with of black onyx, of a wolf, lips curled up fangs showing. Could sell the necklace I suppose.... I just can't my dad made it for me.... With a sigh Erin pulls out a small notebook from the back on her pants, opens it up, to the last page she worked on pen inside. She quietly works on the design for an engine she had started a few days ago, doing the math in her head as she writes down the figures.

The three sit in their living room with some warm tea, calmly collecting their thoughts.

"Ok so what if we hold a press conference tomorrow."

"Yeah but what we going to say?"

"The truth we are looking for the guy who saved our lives tonight, and describe him...all I know is he has a scar on his neck."

"Ruka how did you?"

"When he picks me up woke up got a blurry look at his neck. Then when he put me back down I passed back out. How about you Michi remember anything?"

"Ah...the smell of leather and very extreme pale blue eyes, Setsuna you got the best look at the guy..." Setsuna is off in her own world running the events back through her head.

"I saw he had short pale red hair with a bunch of small hair line scars, looks like he has been on the streets his whole life." He was very handsome, strong silent...

"Well I think I remember the guys calling him slim.... no not that...Jim.... No something with "im" in it, like a nickname almost." The group thinks in silence, Haruka speaking up first.

"Maybe the just called him, Fim, mime, Kim, ah...Grim..."

"That's it..."

"What?"

"Grim they called him Grim, they sounded like they were going to pee their pants when they said it too."

"Ok, so a guy with pale red hair, very pale blue eyes, with a large scar on his neck and small hair line scars all over. That goes by the nickname Grim... that smells of leather. "

"Setsuna did you get a look at his face?"

"Huh his face? Ah yeah briefly for like 5 minutes maybe.

"You remember anything else?"

"Um..." Setsuna closes her eyes trying to remember the man's face. "Strong jaw line like you Haruka, lips horribly chapped ah...other then that he looked like pretty much anyone else."

"Strong jaw line.... a lot of men have that...and chapped lips too, arg this is starting to get frustrating."

"Ruka, we have the best description we can get. But what do we do with it?"

"I wish the guy spoke then we could at least recognize his voice...." Setsuna pauses looking over at Haruka.

"You said he had a scar on his neck right Haruka?"

"Yeah so?"

"Maybe he can't talk, maybe whatever caused that scar damaged his vocal chords."

"You know that makes sense, but I think we better keep that fact to ourselves."

"Why?"

"I am going to ask anyone who knows, seen or is this man to come here. So if we know he does not speak we can rule out fake ones quickly."

"Ok, but if he is homeless he may not come, he won't have a TV or anything."

"Yes but perhaps someone that walks past him every day or gives him food will." Setsuna blends out the conversation between Michiru and Haruka, trying to bring the man's image back up in her mind for anything that will stand out.

"A necklace...." Haruka and Michiru give Setsuna and odd look.

"What?"

"A necklace the guy had on this necklace did not think about it at first because he had a black leather jacket, but there was some figure on the end of a black cord."

"Figure? Like a boxer or car something like that?"

"Yeah but it was some kind of animal, a tiger, lion something with two sets of large canine teeth."

"Hmm well that is unique..."Haruka looks around the room for a moment.

"Ruka what are you doing?"

"I am looking for a book of wild animals..." Haruka sees the book and takes it from the shelf, setting it in front of Setsuna.

"Why..."

"Look through this book, see if anything in there looks right...." Setsuna looks at Haruka then Michiru.

"Worth a shot...." Setsuna sighs, opening the book flipping through the pages.

"Tiger no..... lion no..... panther no....not a big cat..." Setsuna keeps flipping through the book.

"Ruka?"

"Hmm?"

"You think if we get a book of model's Setsuna has we maybe able to come up with the guy's face...." Haruka stares at Michiru for a second then grabs her face giving her a kiss.

"That is why you plan everything you are brilliant love..." Haruka gets up and heads to Setsuna's room.

"Dog...wolf...that's it, it was a wolf..." Setsuna flips the book around showing Michiru the image of a wolf's head lips curled back showing its teeth.

"That looks scary.... why would someone have that?" Haruka returns with a stack of books and sets back down.

"Maybe it was something of his wife or friend."

"That could be true..." The two women look over at Haruka. "Think you took enough dear?" Haruka rolls her eyes.

"Hey I am not the artist you two are...you know it feels weird"

"What does?"

"Trying to find this guy, normally we are running away from jackasses and morons. But we are running after this guy."

"Yes it is certainly different..."

"Perhaps it is because the man himself is different, truly selfless and we are confused, want to find out why maybe?" Haruka shrugs as she opens the first book.

"Maybe I just hope he is not a real ass or something."

"Well if he was he would be knocking on the door right now..." Setsuna and Haruka stare at Michiru, as there is a knock on the door. "Ok.... that was creepy." Haruka gets up and heads to the door, after a deep sigh she opens her door to see Maxx the groups manager.

"Maxx what the hell do you want? It is late we have had enough excitement for one night." Maxx raises an eyebrow pushing his way into the house Haruka to tired to care. Michiru and Setsuna look up as Maxx comes in.

"Maxx? What are you doing here?" Maxx raises an eyebrow looking at the books on the table a few pages marked.

"Well when you where late to your photo shoot. I came by to see what is wrong, what is all this for?" Haruka flops down next to Michiru with a yawn.

"Haruka Maxx wants to know what all this is about..."' Maxx picks up a piece of paper with the list of what the man looks like.

" Pale red hair.... very pale blue eyes, scar on neck, light scars all over, smells of leather.... nicknamed Grim what is this?" The group looks at each other then Setsuna sighs and rolls her eyes.

"We got attacked on the way home."

"What? Is this the bastard that did it?"

"No...."

"That is the jackass that saved our lives, our stuff and fixed the car so we could get back."

"Whoa slow down start from the beginning." Haruka rolls her eyes.

"We were coming back from that stupid charity whatever you wanted us to go to. We got a flat..."

"Group of men, about 5 of them came out from the alleys, they broke the windows pulling us out of the car."

"Took all our stuff, knocked me out...."

"They probably would have raped me and Setsuna if this Grim guy hadn't showed up."

"Grim guy? How do you know he didn't set it up?"

"He walked away without a word..."

"What? Ok this guy saves your life...."

"As well as get all our money and jewelry back."

"And fixes the flat so we can leave, he even put us back in the car."

"Ok so some mystery man chases off the guys, gets our stuff back, puts you back in the car, fixes the flat and disappears."

"Yes pretty much."

"You sure he didn't take any weird photos or videos?"

"The guy had on a leather jacket, no shirt, what looked like pants so torn they were shorts and boots that were falling apart, there was no where to hide anything." Maxx scratches at his jaw looking over the table of books then the group.

"So you guys are looking at all these books to..."

"Try to draw his face, we want to do a press conference to find the man."

"Why?"

"We want to Maxx, this guy does all this shit for us then walks away not saying a thing, or wanting anything."

"So you are curious is all?"

"Yeah what the hell did you think we were?" Maxx looks at the group and sighs.

"Alright I will cancel everything for today and set you up a press conference tomorrow morning, but..."

"Yeah I know watch for fakes, we have a plan for that already, the guy has a scar on his neck, so we are thinking whatever caused that scar is what keeps him from talking." Maxx chuckles.

"Ah so if they come in and talk you know they are faking. Well glad to hear you guys are learning something." Maxx sees himself out the group turns back to the books, after working together they come out with multiply drawings of "Grim" within a few hours. Haruka yawns and stretches.

"Ok I am tired and going to sleep."

"Yes we should be awake for the conference in the morning." The group heads their rooms for a good nights sleep, each vaguely concerned of the state in which this man Grim is.
