Misaki sprinted through the war torn streets of Tokyo. Guns shot from all direction rang in her ears as she hid in a nearby building. "Usagi-san" she cried to herself. "Where are you?" she sobbed again. He had warned her that things were dangerous, she didn't think that the rebels would attack so soon. Akihiko had all but begged her to stay in the penthouse. Why hadn't she listened?

Misaki heard voices enter the abandoned building she was hiding in. Two soldiers entered the room an Misaki started to shake violently "Rebel or Civilian?" one of them shouted pointing his gun at her

"C-Civilian" Misaki cried. Maybe they would take her home. Both soldiers lowered their weapons and walked over to Misaki lifting her up and guiding her out of the building over to an armored car.

"Take her to the center and get her situated" the soldier ordered and the second the door closed she felt a needle gabbed into her side and she was out like a light

Nowaki

Nowaki watched as child after child had been streamed into the hospital. Ever since the new rise in government a few weeks ago rebels have been turning up left right and center tearing up the government's Military facilities. Now that the Civil war was taken to the streets children and civilians were being wheeled in with rather serious injuries.

As Nowaki came out of the emergency room for the hundredth time that day a small canister was thrown into the hallway and started emitting a purple gas. "Close the doors to the patient's rooms!" Nowaki shouted "Cover your mouths and noses!" What mad it worse was the government was even attacking their own facilities suspected of housing rebels whether it was true or just a rumor and taking the supplies or even the people they needed. it was disgusting and Nowaki didn't blame the rebels for their rebellion but he remained impartial to the fight.

Hiroki had firmly supported the rebels actions but as far as he knew she was just a civilian and that's what made him worry. If she wandered the streets with that attitude she could most likely get killed.

Nowaki coughed as he covered his mouth and nose with his jacket sleeve but he could already feel the gas taking effect as his body weakened and he was out, the last this he saw were soldiers storming into the hallway as a few others collapsed

Ritsu

Ritsu had, had enough of all the fighting around the place. with everything firmly locked she watched the streets below every now and again she could see the odd gunfire in the distance but other than that she was fine. Masamune however was in the room with her and was rather on edge.

The two had agreed that for now they would take things slower than what Masamune had wanted, sticking to being friends for the time being. Masamune hadn't liked the idea at all but he knew if he played his cards right he would eventually have her in his arms again, he just had to be patient no matter how painful the process was.

Ritsu walked away from the window to sit next to Masamune. "I don't understand whats happening, one day it was safe to walk to the mail box and the next you need body armor just to open your door" Ritsu sulked.

"Hopefully this wont take to long"

"Who knows how long something like that will take" Ritsu shrugged glancing at the window at more gunfire sounded in the streets below.

"I'll protect you Ritsu, so relax"

"Just promise me it wont be the at the expense of your own life"

"I can't guarantee that, you know how important you are to me, that wont change" Masamune stated sternly

"Let's just watch a movie" Suddenly there was a loud bang on Ritsu's apartment door. Masamune was up and pulled Ritsu with him into a nearby hiding spot in the small cupboard. Ritsu grasped onto his shirt more than a little frightened as she saw soldiers marching past through a crack in the door when Masamune suddenly opened the door slamming the soldier into the wall effectively dazing the man long enough for Masamune to grab the guns the man was holding.

The raven haired man hid around a corner and waited for the man's comrades to come after him and when they did Masamune fired. Ritsu watched in horror as the man she secretly loved once again was firing mercilessly at the men entering her home to protect her. She didn't know whether to feel safe and protected or horrified.

Once the soldier ran out of ammo as well as Masamune, the head editor rushed the men fists flying as he fought the remaining soldier unaware of another slipping past him and finding Ritsu now cornered in the cupboard. When he did it was too late. "Ritsu!" Masamune shouted and tried to reach her only to see the soldier knock her out with the butt of his gun then pick her up holding a knife to her throat while the soldiers took her leaving Masamune unable to do anything but watch. "Shit"

Shinobu

Shinobu counted consentrate on the school work being given out to her as she kept glancing sneakily at her phone. she hadn't been able to contact Yoh for a while now and she was starting to get worried. her school had cut down the amount of classes due to the fighting as well as amping up the security

Shinobu was worried something had happened to her lover and was starting to panic. what if he got caught in a cross fire? What if he became a rebel or a soldier and had been killed? All the what ifs circled in her head and she didn't notice the sad looks her teacher was giving some of her students. Or the soldiers marching in.

"We are here to collect new soldiers for the fight against the rebels. a few of you have been signed up due to the traitorus actions for your parents or a family memeber as of late. the rest of you are free to join at your own will" the soldier declared standing aside for another who held a list"

"Yukio Senri
Hiroya Kazehaya
Aoi Kinuyo
Morihei Tara..." Shinobu's eyes widened as all of her friends names were read out she looked around to see her friend stand one by one and she felt herself want to cry
"...Tsujii Chitose
And lastly
Takatsuki Shinobu" Shinobu joolted upright as she heard her name and stood. What had her family done?

what's going to happen to me? SHinobu thought as her and the other kids were all but shoved out the door. Shinobu didn't want to be paart of any stupid war she just wanted her Miyagi with her.

Kou

Kou threw something into a nearby armored vehicale and took cover beside Shouta behind a chunk of wall that had been left behind in an earlier explosion just in time to avoid the current blast and debre that flew everywhere. once the blast was over him and his girlfriend high fived and Kou picked up the gun he had set down and went to check out the area signalling Shouta to stay put. The ravenette nodded hesitantly not sure if that was a good idea she clutched her own gun opting to cover him.

Kou gave her a deep kiss before running out. but before either of them could act Kou was tackled to the ground. Shouta tried to aim for the soldiers but Kou was in the way as he put up a struggle. Kou knew he wasn't going to get out of this with two soldiers on him, and if Shouta stuck around any longer more will be on them and the others had long been wiped out but the soldiers leaving her and Kou unable to have any back up.

"Kisa! Run!" Kou shouted. Kisa stood from her hiding place in the darkand tried to aim for the soldiers but Kou turned to her as he was forced to the ground, blood covering his beaten face. "Run!" Kou begged. Shouta gave him a look of betrayal but Kou just returned it with a pleading look so she ran but Kou could see the tears as she turned away from the firelight in the night

Takafumi

Takafumi ran with Hiyori hot on her heels. Zen had been called away to make sure his parents were safe and had asked Takafumi to care for her but Takafumi hadn't counted on the soldiers barging into his home. Hiyori and Takafumi had mangaed to sneak past them and out of the house. they were currently running to her own house where she knew a place she could hide the child.

entering her apartment and locking the door to buy them time as the soldiers stormed up the stairs just minutes after them. Takafumi lead Hiyori over to a cupboard and pulled out the back wall where she kept everything she didn't want stolen she shoved it all out and told Hiyori to hide in here.

"Text your father, tell him where you are and to come find you. don't come out of her until he in here you understand? Everything will be okay" Takafumi advised as she hugged the child good bye beofre putting the wall back in place and closed the cupboard on time for the soldiers to bust open the door. SHe didn't move as the guns trained on her while they searched her apartment but they couldn't find Hiyori and there wasn't much to search. One of the soldiers slammed his gun into Takfumi's head and carried her off. unaware of the crying child within the walls.

Chiaki

Chiaki wasn't happy at the turn of events that lead to her current situation as she ran through the streets hoping to hide out somewhere else. It was messed up that the people of japan were afraid of their own Military. She rounded the corner and kept running. Soldiers were gong around inspecting homes for any rebels or taking civilians should they are deemed healthy enough to fight. the only warning she got was from her lover after he was able to drive them off.

Chiaki knew he was part of the rebel fight but she was worried for his safety. right now though the focus was to get to Yoshiyuki's help. Suddenly a gun shot rang out and Chiaki felt to the floor as she felt something burry itself into her leg. She cried out in pain when she fell and a couple of soldiers ran up to her guns aimed at her. Chiaki hissed at them and cursed but otherwise made no move to aggravate the soldiers.

Chiaki wouldn't give away her lover, she would rather die than do so and if they thought her part of that then so be it.

"What are you doing running around on the streets?" A soldier demanded

"I'm late for a date" Chiaki snared. only to be kicked in the stomach

"Don't sass me woman. women should know their place"

"Sexist bastard"

"It's how our world works now sweetheart" the soldier cooed before knocking her out.

Ryuuichiru

the president of Marukawa knew this was going to happen as a commander entered the room with a list. the commander set it down in front of her. Kaoru had long left after being sent away for his own safety. Akihiko, Shouta, Yoshiyuki, Masamune, Zen and many of the other rebels were told to stay home as well thanks to Onodera publishing's warning of the raining government's hunt.

The commander slammed the list onto her desk with an intimidating scowl. Ryuuichiru curled her hand around the gun she had hidden under her desk. "Where are they, this list is comprised with all those suspected of being a part of the rebellion"

"I have no idea, feel free to look around for them. I am not sure who will be here though." Ryuuichiru stated sweetly

"You are responsible for these employees you should know if they are here" the commander pressed

"yes but I do not keep record of who is and isn't in the building, that isn't my job" Ryuuichiru responded reasonably

"Fair enough" The commander replied standing straight. "All rebels will be executed on the spot so I suggest you start looking for new hires" Ryuuichiru scowled. "Is there a problem?"

"Yes. I just had these carpets cleaned" Ryuuichiru sulked. the commander rolled his eyes "I guess that's one less commander though" Ryuuichiru smirked but before the commander could act Ryuuichiru pulled the gun and shot the man between the eyes.

it wasn't long till his comrades saw the scene after rushing in and she smiled sweetly "Drop the weapon" the 2IC commanded

"Care to dance boys?" She purred shooting off a few more rounds killing a couple of them before she herself got shot in the shoulder causing her to drop the weapon. Ryuuichiru smiled darkly to herself "At least I put up a fight" she grinned before she was knocked out
