Voices drifted across the cold air of Moscow as the five friends chatted with light hearts. A recent job had just been finished and they were now free to do whatever it was that their hearts desired. Their looks were far past fair and all who watched them past couldn't help the fantasies the look provoked.
Many knew them just by sight, their reputations spread far and wide and all who saw feared. The five Russians were the notorious leaders of the most dangerous mob in all of what could be Russia. Their eyes pierced through the soul like the knives they so often used.
Usually they would have sent one of their many underlings to take care of such a job but this was a special occasion. It was to be the inevitable death of one Voltaire Hiwatari the bane of existence for more then one person throughout the world. But for one in particular and that one happened to be grouped in with the five as they trudged through the snow with familiar ease.
His name was Kai Hiwatari and if looks could kill all eyes that beheld the man would be dieing for the third time over. Slate bangs fell over his amethyst eyes and yet in the back it was more of a blue tint. Blue shark fins adorned the pale cheeks and gave his face a more squared off look. His jaw was set and his features held a look of absolute power to all who had the pleasure of seeing him from a close view.
Standing to his right was the ice wolf himself, Tala Ivanov. His features were if anything more feminine and his body fragile looking and lithe. Although any who actually knew him or had the misfortune of sparring with him knew he was a force to reckon with. Bright red hair showed itself in a jet like fashion only two strands of bangs fell freely. Blue eyes are clear as the ice watched the world in a perceptive manner leaving all who saw in a state of awe at the uncountable beauty.
Having a light conversation with the red-head was another that held more of a unique beauty then the first two. Silver hair caught the glint of the sunset and gave the complete opposite an angelic look that forced even the busiest schedules to stop and stare. Pools of stone looked out from the incredibly pale skin and although not many noticed the color was mixed with that of a soft lilac. Bryan Kuztenov was certainly a find.
The last two walked together chatting away with a curious nature.
More actually one was chattering away while the other listened contently to the words being distributed. The first was a tall and burly blonde with eyes the color of the sea. His body was hard and lean and his height far exceeded that of his speaking companion. The blonde hair was a mix of brown and was needless to say unkempt and feel freely over the ear warmers the tallest wore. Spencer Taskov being the name of the formally quiet man.
The last occupant of the small group was of short stature but his heart as big as the skyscrapers he so often broke into. Unruly deep purple hair was waving in the wind blowing away from the deep garnet eyes that kept a quick gaze on the man he was speaking to. His name was Ian Valcovich and the man was actually still a teen as one could tell by his way of speaking.
Turning a corner the five stopped when a black blur was spotted at an alley before pulling away and disappearing as quickly as it had made an entrance. First thought was that it was a worker from one of their many enemies but after carefully considering all the possibilities and the main fact that they were now wandering their own territory it was quickly ruled out.
Casting a glance at his four friends Tala stepped further the snow crunching under his feet as he used cautious but confident movements. His hands tucked into his coat and after feeling the handle of gun he turned the corner a gasp emitting from the view his usually cold eyes met.
Exchanging looks with each other the remaining four headed forward as well, quirking an eyebrow when Tala smiled on whatever it was he had found before entering the alley himself. Finally reaching the entrance they all let out a similar gasp before chancing a smile.
Tala Ivanov one of the supposed most dangerous men in all of Europe was currently kneeling in the snow trying to coax a small child from the corner. "Come on, it's okay I won't hurt you." he assured the petrified child as it tried to push itself even further into the wall.
Taking a closer look Tala wondered at the creatures most peculiar looks. It was obviously a girl for the long hair and soft face couldn't lie. Long black hair, matted and tangled, trailed down the form of the child and curled at the end just under her bottom. Pale violet eyes watched the male with a frightened look and sharp canine teeth were piercing holes into the chapped lips. She was shaking something terrible and hugging her bare arms her boots slipping on the ground as she was forcing herself further into the stone of the wall. Her clothes were still in mid condition making the man wonder about her status and if she was really abandoned at all, maybe just lost.
Tala crawled closer to the child and after a minute of fading behind a dumpster reappeared with a satisfied look and a wide-eyed child clinging to his shirt for dear life. Holding her out away from him he looked her over snorting at the numerous bruises and scrapes the other was sporting. "She's so cute!" he adored plainly. Pulling her back to his chest he smiled contently when she wrapped her arms around his neck and peeked over his shoulder.
The girl watched the men that were now in front of her as she held tight to the Russian male holding her as her mother and father once had. Taking in a breath she inhaled the soothing scent of the red-head and had to fight keeping her guard when he started to run soft circles on her back whispering gentle words of the comfort she so badly wished for. Wrapping her legs around his torso she held close for some reason feeling safe and protected in the strong hold where she should be fighting to free herself against the unknown.
Surveying the others she noted their faces and the looks they were sending at her. Looking around caustiously she chanced a look back behind her a hint of longing flashing through her pale colored orbs. Listening intently she heard the sound of one talking to her protector before she was startled to find them moving. Thoughts flashed through her mind and without taking anything into consideration she started to struggle madly, soft whimpers emitting from her throat making the men stop to watch her.
"What are you doing?" Tala asked as he finally complied to setting the girl down watching as she scampered off back down the alleyway. "Hey wait! You don't want live in there!" he shouted scowling at the hard work that seemed to have wasted. Without a second thought he followed her back down the alley fully intent on getting his way, that being the child coming back with him.
Watching as she turned a corner that he hadn't even noticed at the first entrance he swiftly made his way to the end and after turning the corner his heart seemed to melt. The young girl he had found himself somehow liking more and more each minute was leaning in front of another child. Hearing footsteps pounding he knew without looking that the others were standing behind him watching the sight unfold.
Looking past her Tala smiled seeing her gently shaking the other awake whispering in Russian hoping for him to respond faster. Moments passed and finally bright blue eyes fluttered open and the boy smiled happily before squealing with excitement. Jumping up he embraced the slightly smaller girl before noticing their presence. Standing up two coats fell from his once sleeping form instantly showing why the female child hadn't been wearing her own jacket. It was now obvious that she had left it to warm the other leaving her own skin to fight the cold.
Without warning Spencer moved forward and after picking up the two coats draped them over the boy before removing his own and enveloping the girl. The said child looked down at her arms were the sleeves hung over her hands and arms almost to her hips. Looking back up she blinked at him random times before turning to stare at her companion who watched the newcomers with curious eyes.
Not but two seconds passed before the girl turned to watch as the other was swept into her protectors arms with the same treatment she had received. "He's so cute too!" Pondering for a moment he looked back at the girl and then the others. "I want to name her." he admonished.
Sighing Kai stepped forward and commented for the first time since the beginning of the find, "Tala you can't name a kid."
"How come? People name stray dogs all the time." he replied utterly confused.
The first comment earned him a slap as when he said 'stray' as it caused boy of the children to wince as if hurt. "Hence the reason they are dogs." he snapped. Moving forward he kneeled in front of the girl and watched her as she shied visibly away from him. Letting on a small smile he reached for her, "Do you want to come and live with us?" he asked. "I'm sure it would be better for the both of you." He added motioning back to the boy who was cuddling happily with Tala.
Thinking for a minute she chewed her bottom lip nervously before casting a glance at Micah who was now in the arms of Bryan staring straight into the taller mans eyes before making a small mewl and kissing his cheek affectionately. Trying to hide it she watched as the other broke into a smile not being able to resist the child's charm.
Looking back up at him and then to Tala and the others she nodded and lifted her arms waiting as Kai easily swooped her up and held her close.

And so a new one unfolds. If you like this thank Wolflover7 for telling me to write it. I tell her all my ideas when my twisted little mind comes up with them and she told me the other day that this was her favorite. So I wrote it up and actually at this moment I am talking to her on the phone. Hola Casey! Thank-you for making me peruse this because it is fun! Oh man I've said it once (or twice -.-) and I'll say it again, I am so funny! I tell Casey all the time about how I should humor her since I do it for myself all the time. Anyway I left the shower running and gotta go jump in. Thanx for reading...and hopefully reviewing. n.n Catcha' later.
