Previously on Private Wars...
"Apparently, an group 'Falcawks' has been active last week, and therefore are responsible for 65% of the attacks and murders in Japan. It is strongly recommended to stay indoors and be aware of your surroundings," a journalist said on television.
"No, Not...not them... I don't want to remember...I refuse...!"
"It's them, Eli. Falcawks," Umi interrupted in a serious tone. And Eli startled immediately, her eyes grew wide.
Eli could smell the past coming back to haunt her, and she stood silently, quaking with fear.
"W-what...?"
~2~
"U-Umi... You're k-kidding right?" Eli stuttered, and Umi shook her head in response.
"No, it's true." Umi muttered under her breath, and clamped her teeth, clenching her fists, "I don't understand though...This was a classified location!" Eli fell in silence, thinking. On the other hand, Nico was still in the process of taking out the bullet from Maki's screaming stomach. The crimson-haired female groaned once again, "N-Nico! I-it hurts!"
"Just a little more, Maki-chan-"
"Aah!" Maki cried out, and dug her fingers into Nico's arm. As raven-haired doctor pushed it inside deeper, she could see a glint inside the gory stomach, "Maki-chan, I'm just going to pull it out now, it will hurt," she warned the injured female, and Maki nodded, droplets of tears drifting down her cheek. Nico tried harder, and eventually, the bullet came out. She embraced Maki, and then pressed the towel onto her stomach to stop the bleeding, kissing Maki on the forehead—who was panting steadily.
"There, there... It's alright, Maki-chan," Nico whispered to the latter.
After a few minutes, Eli and Umi were still in the process of trying to avoid the door from overflowing with the enemies, but the bluenette had soon began to lose strength and slowly stopped pushing. It was all up to Eli now. Eli exerted extra pressure onto the door, yelling out in the process. But she couldn't take it anymore; her strength vanished. Eli could hear Falcawks rush into the room, and the lot were cornered near the exit. A group of large, snobby and wretched men walked inside mischievously with wide, creepy grins.
"Ah! I remember you!" a member of Falcawks pointed at Eli, "You're the bitch who lost your grandmother, and your little whore sister!"
The others laughed evilly, and licked their lips.
Umi and Nico's eyes widened, surprised about the loss of Eli's grandmother and little sister, for the quarter Russian had never talked about it during work. But they remembered that Eli talked little of her family, and they kept quiet.
A stream of ferocity rushed up to Eli's head. How dare they mention about the her horrible past. The latter memorised the scene, and pulled out a smoke grenade from her pocket.
"Fuck off!" Eli shouted, and pulled the trigger with her teeth. Before Umi could take out her crossbow, Eli slammed the smoke grenade on the floor, and a hazy cloud of smoke filled the office. Eli turned to Maki and the others, "Maki! I'll carry you! Umi and Nico, head to my car!" Eli declared, and strided to Maki without getting caught in the office enveloped with full smoke. The crimson-haired female wrapped her arms around the blonde, and Eli took her legs. Because Maki was still breathing quite heavily, Eli could hear and feel her breath surrounding her ears; they turned hot pink. Umi and Nico rushed to the exit and opened the door for the blonde and red head.
"Hey!" one of the men yelled, coughing up the thick smoke that drifted throughout the office.
Nico thrusted the door shut afterwards as well as locking it, and sprinted to Eli's Lamborghini. Umi was rather silent, probably because of the mention about Eli's grandmother and little sister, "Eli, I'm sorry... about your-"
"Never speak of it, let's get inside," Eli interrupted the bluenette, averting her eyes from the sea in an upset manner, and opened the door, "Nico, help me get Maki inside the car,"
Nico took Maki's back, while Eli had her legs. Cautiously, they transferred the red head inside the car. Nico ran to the other side of the car, and made an entrance inside, sitting next to Maki, while Umi sat next to Eli in the front.
"Nico, thanks for saving me," Maki thanked the doctor, grasping onto her hand lightly. Nico sent a smile and caressed Maki's cheek.
"You're welcome, Maki-chan," Nico muttered under her breath.
"Seatbelts on?" Eli questioned. Umi nodded her head. And when she turned to look at the back, it seemed that the pair had their seatbelts on, though Maki needed help.
Eli twisted the key, and the engine roared. The Lamborghini accelerated to the streets of Akiba— Nico felt a palm on her shoulder, probably Maki's, and she turned around to see that the bleeding had stopped. Nico took the towel away from her stomach, without catching a glimpse of the gore that was visible from it.
"Eli, where're we going?" Umi asked, the first one to deliver a conversation in the heavy silence.
"Mine, we need to discuss the ordeal further," Eli replied with seriousness, eyes fixated in the roads in front of her. Umi dropped her head down, pondering about the her past. Because it was similar to Eli's. But Umi didn't lose her grandmother or sister (though she didn't have one,) instead she lost her brave uncle, who had been shot during a mission. Umi didn't know who was responsible for it, but when she finds out, she'll avenge her uncle. The bluenette sighed, and slowly lifted her head. Her eyes widened when she discovered a familiar military truck that trailed behind the Lamborghini in the mirror. Umi analysed the features of the truck, and it wasn't part of SIF's. In fact, it was Falcawks.
"Eli...! Falcawks are behind us!" Umi cried. Eli caught a glimpse of the mirror, it was true.
"W-what!? How?! They were locked inside the office!" Eli said in disbelief.
"Probably that bitch called for more," Maki claimed. Nico turned around, Falcawks were getting closer.
"Eli, drive faster!" Nico yelled, and Eli pushed the pedal harder.
"Umi, distract them!" Eli declared, and Umi took out a small crossbow. But when she pressed a button that was implanted in it, it suddenly enlarged, and Umi opened the window.
"Eli, let me do it too," Maki suggested, and Eli twisted her back.
"What?! You're in no condition to shoot!" Eli said.
"The bleeding stopped, and I can stand, trust me," Maki looked at Eli with a serious expression. The blonde nodded, and gave the red head the PM9. Maki opened the window, and slipped her upper body outside, aiming the PM9 towards the truck. Umi followed the same actions, and focused the crossbow onto the truck using the scope attached to it, her amber orbs stable in concentration.
"Fire!" Umi announced, and the pair had began to shoot ammunition at the truck. The bullet that came out of the PM9 dashed in the breeze towards Falcawks. After a few shots, Umi reloaded the crossbow, and directed it at the tyre. Maki pressed the trigger, sending bullets rushing to the truck. And it eventually made holes in the foes windows. Once Umi had the crossbow fully focused on the certain area of the vehicle, she shot the arrow, head full of determination.
Make it...! Umi cried in her mind, eyebrows knitted together. The bluenette observed the arrow closely, sweat spawning on her palms. Pop. And the tyre became flat, thus stopping Falcawks' vehicle from moving any further, and stayed stationary. Umi and Maki turned to look at eachother, wide grins on their faces.
"Yes!" the pair cried, victorious. They slipped inside the car, earning a smile from the quarter Russian.
"Good job-" Eli began— but was silenced by a hesitation in the engine, looking at the fuel gauge, "Shit,"
Eli drove the car to a nearby bar, parking behind the building, where Falcawks wouldn't find them. The others blinked in confusion. And Eli exhaled in disappointment.
"Fuel has gone, looks like we'll need to walk," Eli said, and unlocked the car doors. They all stepped out of the car, and scanned the bar.
"Don't tell me..." Nico mumbled, "We're going to stay here for a bit,"
"I don't think this is a problem, right? Let's go!" Umi exclaimed in enthusiasm, the others blinked, weirded out. But before she could head inside, Maki clutched onto the bluenettes collar.
"Wait a second, weren't we going to Eli's-" a sudden grumble inside the red heads stomach indicated that she was hungry. Eli and Nico chuckled, covering their mouths. Maki pouted.
"Fine! Let's go! It's n-not like I wanted to go inside anyway," Maki crossed her arms, twisting her head to the side. Eli looked at Umi, who was sighing, glancing at Maki in the distance.
"There goes Maki once again," the bluenette muttered. Eli's ears perked up in realisation.
"Oh yeah, weren't you and Maki childhood friends?"
Umi nodded, "Mm, she wasn't very good in being honest with her feelings,"
"She never was," Eli claimed in a playful manner, making Umi laugh.
"Hey! Are we going or not!" Nico cried, who was linking her arm with Maki's. Eli and Umi laughed, and caught up with the two.
Countless people roamed the busy bar, bright, colourful lights shining from corner to corner. The four gaped in awe, staring at the features of it. Eventually, Nico asked Maki to dance with her, and they headed to the dance floor, kissing eachother passionately (which Umi didn't want to see at all.)
"Absolutely shameful!" Umi cried in embarrassment, a hue of red throughout her face, not to mention her hands covering her eyes. Eli and Umi were left, and they were sat behind the counter. Eli giggled at the bluenette, and after Umi had calmed down, a female bartender entered Umi's eyesight.
"Hello! Welcome to Seagulls Bar! I'll be your bartender for today! What would you like?" an ash-brunette chirped, and the sea gazed at her with dreamy eyes, until she heard a thump that clashed her leg.
"Ow! What was that for-!"
"For being a gay loser. Hell, what are you going to order?" Eli said.
"U-Urgh... U-um... You know what-"
"She'll have what I'm having, beer with a short glass, uh... Kotori...?" Eli told the bartender, peering at the name tag that was glued to her outfit. After Kotori scribbled down the order on her notepad, she left with an amused expression on her face. Umi slammed her head on the counter in humiliation. And lifted up her head to see the bird in work.
"Geez, stop drooling and eyeing her ass," Eli sighed, fingers tapping the counter.
"I was certainly not! And she looks familiar anyway," Umi cried out. Eli examined the taupe-haired female carefully, she wasn't sure... But then a light bulb flashed.
"Ah! Minami Kotori! An arttoney in SIF," the blonde blurted out in realisation, "She must be working part-time here," Umi nodded without glancing at Eli, and instead, her eyes were still focused on Kotori. The bluenette snapped out of her thoughts as the ash-brunette strode towards them with the orders.
"Here you go! Two short glasses filled with beer!" Kotori chirped, and before she twisted her back to go to the other customers, she looked at Umi with lips that were curled into a smile, "Sonoda-san, it's nice to see you here, I've admired your skills as an archer in SIF," and left.
The bluenette stammered, a shade of red glowing on her face.
"Just drink, for Gods sake," Eli mumbled, taking the glass of beer from the counter. Umi nodded in response, and chugged the glass of beer. The bluenette thrusted her head once again on the table, and Eli could see Kotori ambling around the bar like a busy bee.
"Kotori!" Eli cried out, waving her hand, trying to catch Kotori's attention. The bird turned around, and headed to them.
"Haven't had enough?" Kotori grinned, amused by Umi. The sea hoisted her head to see the bird.
"Eh? Of the beautiful figure I see right before me? Never," Umi gazed at her with lustful eyes, "You're so hot, you know that?"
Kotori blushed, and clutched her chest, "I'm flattered, Sonoda-san,"
"Call me Umi, cutie pie!" Umi raised her voice, waving her arms carelessly, disturbing the other customers who looked at her with amused expressions. To be honest, Eli found this quite entertaining, Kotori must've thought the same too.
"Do you want the lovers cocktail? It's on an offer today~"
"H-Hang on, Kotori, I'm taken," Eli blushed.
"That's good, cause then I can share with Kotori," Umi mumbled. Kotori held her notepad in front of her mouth, trying to hold her laughter.
"You want to share? Hm, my job ends in a minute, I'll go and get one!" Kotori squealed, and dawdled behind the counter with a buzz of excitement.
Eli stared at Umi with raised eyebrows, who had lustful eyes, "At least you're sharing the lovers cocktail, you gay loser,"
~/O\~
"Oh, here comes the bird," Eli teased Umi as Kotori came back with the lovers cocktail without her bartender clothing. Instead, the ash-brunette wore a fashionable shirt as well as a cute skirt with red converse shoes.
"I'm back, Umi-chan, Eli-san," Kotori said, "My manager said I could finish my shift, so... Anyway, let's share, Umi-chan!"
Umi, who was feeling drowsy, lazily nodded and took one of ends of the straw, sucking it lightly. Kotori thought it was adorable, she didn't care if the bluenette was drunk.
"Eli! Umi! And... who's that?" Maki asked, and was aware of the drunk Umi that was right in front of her.
You've got to be kidding me... Maki thought, and exhaled with hands on her face.
"Ah! Maki, how was tonsil tennis?" Eli questioned in a playful tone, Maki pouted and crossed her arms, "Haha, anyway, this is Minami Kotori. You must know her from SIF, she's an attorney,"
Maki rubbed her chin, "Oh yeah! Nishikino Maki, pleasure to meet you,"
Kotori stopped sucking the straw, "Nice to meet you too, where's Nico-chan?"
"Oh, you know Nico?" Maki asked, and the bird nodded, "I swear I saw her go to the toilet, I'll go and check,"
And the red head left, heading to the toilet. Maki twisted the door knob, and glanced at a sea of raven-hair in the corner. Maki strode to Nico, who's back was facing towards her.
"Nico? What are you- Mmph!"
Nico crushed her lips onto Maki's, twirling her tongue around the other. Maki let out a moan, but decided to play along with Nico, slipping her hand into the doctors underwear, despite how crowded the bar was. Nico released her mouth from the red head, a string of saliva that connected to each others rosy lips, and panted heavily. The raven-haired female pulled Maki closer, and tugged her tie, gazing into purple orbs seductively.
"Maki-chan, you're mine."
Woah! Nico! And Umi! I need a tissue, my nose is bleeding. A lot. I'm fangirling like an idiot and laughing at Umi's drunk form, anyway... Review on this chapter, and until next time
