Don't own...won't own.


Neji's POV

"Riv...That bitch. I've never met her and I already can't stand that whore. It wouldn't matter anyway, she's a River Guard, of course I would hate her." I sat watching the girls strip for me but really didn't focus on them "She's smart, though."

"Brink, Why aren't you into our lovely ladies tonight?" I took a shot

"I wanna know everything about Riv." I glared at Pride

"The River Rat?" he asked broadly

"One in the same." I slipped a one dollar bill into a blonde's g-string and snapped it so she wouldn't notice that I took the twenty she had next to the newly placed dollar "I wanna know who her family is, where she sleeps, but get me that fucking name first." I barked at him

"Whoa, now...someone's got their man-panties in a twist." he smirked leaning his head back between a slut's legs then brought it back up to look at me "We'll get her."

"That girl's a pain." I said getting up and walking out, Pride followed me slowly.

Those damn R.G.s started all of this warring. Those poor people kept stealing from our territory and they did sloppy work so when somebody caught them, innocent people got shot. It's all their fault. It has been for years; they're dirty fucking liars. Everything in our history has something to do with fighting off the lower-life scum that make River Guards.

"So how do expect to get this information?" he asked as we walked back to our head quarters

"We're an upper-class mob...we have connections. Or did you forget?" I smirked

"Shut it." he bit back "Why is she so interesting to you? I mean yeah, the kid said she was hot but--"

"He saw her?" I asked finally interested in what he had to say

"Yeah, brown eyes, brown hair, pale skin, about five-six, toned." he repeated "That's pretty much every girl in the city."

"No, she's tall and muscular--"

"Fabulous. And?" Pride asked dully with his dark blue streaked hair falling over his eyes

"Just a little more information and we'll find her." he groaned

"She's not really that important. One day, a lucky little shit on our side is gonna get that wonderfully amazing shot that'll down her." he sat down in an office chair and put his feet on his desk

"Hn..." I walked back to my room, took off my shirt and shoes, then laid down "Bitch is givin' me a headache. Why can't anybody get that shot? It's not like she's invincible, just fucking girl in charge of a gang. Her underlings are getting better at shooting and they're not dying. We're losing more and more men while they're gaining so many... and she cares if they live. Like that one yesterday--Tiny, I guess was his name. She takes it so personally every time one gets off-ed. What kind of leader does that?"

I listened to the cars going by and tried to calm down. "Don't let a River Guard get to you." I reminded myself and went to sleep

In the morning I woke to gun shots on our side of the bridge. "Fucking R.G.s."

I sprinted out of my room grabbing my gun on the way out only to find the office empty. I peeked through the blinds seeing both friends and enemies outside.

"No way..." there she is...she's holding a little boy that's been shot. I could see that he was one of theirs by the tattoo of the number 114 on his arm. He's bleeding badly...he's dying but she just won't stop trying to save him. Riv's covered in blood and looks so afraid. I think she's telling him not to die, poor thing, she's living in a fantasy. I slowly moved out of the office and crouched behind a concrete bench, watching her.

When the boy stopped moving she held him close and buried her face in the crook of his neck, smearing blood on herself. She shook slightly then threw her head back and screamed. It was painful to watch but I was drawn to it; she looked so beautiful in agony. She gently laid him down behind the corner of the building where she sat, alone now. She took the gun from the boy's hand, stood, and just walked out into the open.

"She's got a death wish..." I thought about killing her, but I couldn't pull the trigger, not yet.

She unloaded one full clip on my guys; I doubt she cared she was missing. Scary, the sound of the gun calmed her...

"You BASTARDS!" Riv screamed, the boys blood dripped off her body, staining the black earth when she stood.

"Riv, we're out!" called a brown haired boy, red arrows tattooed o his face "Put down the gun!"

"Riv!" called a blonde girl that was sheltered behind a car.

She didn't listen. My guys finally focused and started shooting back. The blonde girl dove on top of her, putting them both in safety from being shot...but not from me. They sat behind the building with the boy's body.

The blonde slapped her across the face and she seemed to wake up or something. "Where's High School?" asked Riv as I snuck up behind them

"She's not dead, if that's what you're asking. I'm surprised, pink is usually an easy target. .." sighed the other girl "Riv...you can't get like th--"

"Forty-seven." she mumbled "If a number is added, I get my revenge."

"Likewise." I smirked putting the barrel of my gun against Blondie's temple "Three today. Four yesterday."

"You." Riv scowled at me reaching for her gun

"Ah, ah, ah, nope." I pushed the barrel harder against her friend's head

"What do you want?" she commanded

"Nothin' ..." I mocked "But better luck next time." I started to pull the trigger.

"NO!" a wild look came to her eyes just before she kicked the gun upward. The bullet missed her friend by a good six inches "Shadie RUN take Cage with you!" and she did, she even took the boy's body back too.

Riv tackled me, hard, knocking the breath out of me. She forced the hand in which I was holding the gun above my head as we threw punches at each other. I was sprawled against the concrete with my front getting pummeled by a psycho chick.

"Bitch." I said through gritted teeth putting a fist to her chin. After that I quickly got up and stepped on her neck, pinning her to the ground. I looked around for my gun

"Hey, S-Sunshine." croaked a voice from beneath me "Lookin' for this?" she aimed the gun at me and pulled the trigger.

It skimmed my side as I dove for the ground. She stood holding her neck in one hand and aimed for me with the other.

"Buh-bye." she smirked

Click...

Click...

Click...

"What the?!" she asked hitting the gun against her hand other hand.


Flash Back

"Hey, my gun needs to be fixed. Only one or two shots work at a time..."

End Flash Back

"That gun won't work, Riv." I smirked and stood slowly

"What kind of moron brings a gun to a shooting the doesn't fire?!" she yelled in shock "Wow, you're a fucking idiot."

She threw the gun at me and ran across the bridge to her home base; I just let her go.

"That was smooth." laughed Pride from behind me "She would have killed you! Ha, ha!"

"Why are you laughing, ass whole? I'm shot!" I yelled at him

"Right, right. Whatever." he rolled his eyes "It only grazed you." I turned so he could see all the blood flowing from my wound "Oh come on, it's not like it's the first time you've gotten hit... first time by a girl though." he started laughing again

"Shut up you emo bastered. Get me Medic." I ordered "And someone please tell me whose gun this is!"

"Mine you dumb ass." sighed Pride

"I need to get some fucking respect around here." he seethed tossing the defective gun to Chop Shop "Fix that." I told him

"Who'd we lose?" I asked opening the door to the office and took a seat, Medic went to work on my stitches

"Uh, Mute, Prey, and Rabb." he said "Newbies."

"Everybody important accounted for?" I asked and he nodded "Good."

"You and Riv were really going at it." quietly commented Medic

"Yeah, what of it?" I glowered

"Nothing." she mumbled. My cousin, Medic, is a good subordinate, she does what she's asked without asking questions. "I was just saying..."

"Hn." I grumbled

"All done." she helped me up then went off to tend to the others, she's not the best medic we've ever had but she'll do.

"We need more medics." said Pride suddenly "Hinata's running out of steam."

"She's a gang member now call her by her real name." I ordered

"Fine." he sighed "Medic needs help... Medic shouldn't be here."

"Elaborate." I barked

"She's too sweet. Every time she has a gun in her hand she freezes up and our people die." he flopped on to the couch next to me "She's a good kid...she' not like the pink haired girl called High School. She can't be a medic and a fighter. She'll die out there."

"I know that." I closed my eyes and let my head fall back "but her dad disowned her and she's got nothin' else to live for."

"So she's gonna die for us? As one of our playthings? Do you want that for her?"

"Since when did you get all touchy-feely? I might have to shoot you, now."

"Maybe that would be a good thing." he kicked his feet up on the table "It's been awhile since I've gotten hit, it might give me a wake-up-call."

"How about the fact that it just turned noon and we lost three guys today, will that work?" I asked

"Yep, that'll do. Hey, have you seen Ruin, Gamer, and Breezy anywhere?" he popped the top on a beer and took a drink

"No, not since the shootout ended." I gestured for him to hand me a bottle "Those three were on my 'Important People' list."

"Yeah, well, they're breathing so they're still on the list, that's all I know about them though." I nodded "...Riv was pretty hot. Especially after she kicked your ass."

I groaned "Shut the hell up or I promise I will shoot you."

"Whatever." he smirked "At least we took two R.G.s down today."

I didn't respond to him "That kid...did he really mean that much to her? I bet she just knew him better than the others. That's probably it. That's all it could be. Nothing..."

Thanks! RXR
