"Why'd you go out and meet that piece of shit?" Yuri questioned.

Kaiya searched Yuri's face before answering softly. "I read your diary. I know why you're doing all this."

Yuri's eyes narrowed, "Why were you going through my stuff?!"

Kaiya flinched back at the harshness in her friend's voice. "While you were asleep, the phone in the drawer started ringing." she answered, her voice small like a child being scolded.

"But the drawer was locked." Yuri cut in.

"I know, and that's when I remembered the key around your neck. I-I put two and two together. Please don't be angry, Yuri. I just wanted to help you!" Kaiya pleaded, her eyes beginning to glisten under the Tokyo streetlights.

Yuri stood in silence for a moment as she watched her best friend begin to cry. She never meant to make her cry, but what she was about to do…

Yuri sighed before pulling the smaller girl into a hug, "Don't cry. I'm sorry. Just…just don't do anything like this again, Kai."

Yuri awoke with her heart racing. It was a dream, but it felt real enough to cause her to feel anxious to the point that she momentarily forgot where she was. She sighed and sat up. It was silent for some time as she tried to shake the empty feeling. Eventually, she brought her hand to her forehead and swallowed hard. "Kaiya…"

"Kaiya? Who's that?" Gemma asked, her hand on her hip as she leaned against the bathroom's door frame.

Yuri snapped her head up, "How long have you been there?"

Gemma shrugged her shoulders, "Not long." she replied dismissively, "So, who's Kaiya?"

"No one." Yuri answered a bit too quickly.

"Huh." Gemma breathed skeptically as she closed the bathroom door, "You mumbled that name a couple of times while you were sleeping." she said before mindlessly picking at things in the room.

"I thought you said you weren't standing there long." Yuri retorted.

Gemma laughed slightly, "I wasn't."

Yuri knew she was lying, and was glad to see her leaving the room, but then she remembered something important that needed to be brought up.

"Uh, Gemma? I need to talk to you about something." Yuri said as she threw the bed covers back, "I'm not trying to sound ungrateful, but I've been wearing the same clothes for the past few days since a lot of the clothes you showed me didn't fit."

"You're right, you have been wearing the same two set of clothes. I can take you out to go shopping." Gemma interrupted, knowing that it wasn't just the clothes she was wearing over and over again. It wasn't like Gemma really wanted to take her out shopping, but she wasn't bitch enough to have the girl wear the same clothes and undergarments. They were washed each time she wore them, but Gemma didn't see a problem with getting her some new ones everything considered.

"You don't have to buy me clothes. If you could take me to my house in Oakland, I can just get some things from there." Yuri explained. She was telling the truth for the most part. She also wanted to get back to Oakland to see Rosa. After the dream she had, she was curious as to what happened to her best friend when bullets started flying in the gas station.

Gemma was silent as she thought about it. If it was someone that knew anything about the Sons and how Oakland was Mayan territory, the question never would have been asked. But Yuri was being kept in the dark about everything, so telling her 'no' without a believable excuse would make her even more suspicious.

"Sure. We can go now if you're up for it." Gemma said, unable to come up with an excuse.

Yuri's face seemed to light up a bit at the unexpected response, "Alright, I'll start getting ready. Thanks."

While Yuri was getting ready, Gemma stepped out to tell Clay about their little outing.

"How she doin'?" Jax asked as his mother approached Clay and him.

"Good. She's up and about." Gemma said as she passed Jax working on a car, "She asked me to take her out to get more clothes." she finished while coming to a stop in front of Clay.

"Now we're spendin' money on her? Give her the clothes the Crow Eaters leave behind." Clay said as he threw a wrench onto a nearby metal shelf. He obviously didn't like what he was hearing, which caused Jax to chuckle to himself since he guessed the other was too old to understand why Yuri even asked.

"They only leave behind so much, Clay. It's not like they go back naked. Besides, a lot of it didn't fit. She can't even wear my clothes. Got no choice but to get her something else to wear." Gemma replied sarcastically.

Clay shook his head, "She's going to be gone soon, ain't no point in buying her new clothes."

"Consider this buying her silence." Gemma said as she leaned down and gave her husband a chaste kiss on the lips to keep him from arguing, "I won't spend much. Like you said, she'll be leaving soon anyways."

Gemma kept the fact that they'd be picking up clothes from Yuri's house a secret. Clay would either reject the idea all together, or demand that they be escorted by a Son. Gemma refused to be treated like a child, and it wasn't like she didn't have an unmarked gun in her purse. So long as this was a quick trip, they'd be in and out of Oakland without a problem.

- Timeskip

"This won't take long, right? I have a shit ton of paperwork to do." Gemma said as she followed Yuri's directions.

"Yeah, it won't be long." Yuri said as they began down her street, "It's this brick house right here…huh?"

"What?" Gemma asked as they slowed down to pull into the driveway. Yuri was silent as she stared at the black sedan sitting in her usual parking spot. The car wasn't hers; it belonged to Rosa, and she couldn't understand why it was sitting in her driveway.

"Nothing, just pull up behind this black car here. Are you coming inside?" Yuri asked as the car came to a stop and she began to get out.

"You'll need some help moving the clothes, right?" Gemma asked a tad sarcastically as she turned off the engine and followed the Asian to the door. As she waited for her to open it, she noticed that there was no buildup of mail, something a house that had no one living in it for a week should have. "Thought you lived alone."

Yuri looked glanced around, "I do." she answered lowly, the door opening with a click. She quietly pushed it open and was surprised when she heard the T.V on and the smell of food being cooked. Slowly and cautiously, Yuri entered her house.

There were empty food containers covering the table in the living room, the couches had piles of dirty clothes on them, and the house reeked of sweat and cigarettes.

Gemma could tell something wasn't right as she watched the Asian girl's confused face, so she opened her purse and gripped the gun tightly. Yuri couldn't believe what she was seeing as she stepped around the clutter and moved to carefully touch at the mess on the table and couch. Was someone squatting in her house while she recovered from getting shot in the shoulder?

"Who-" Yuri started before a loud metallic bang from the kitchen cut her off. Both women froze as movement was heard from the kitchen. When the movement stopped, and approaching footsteps were heard, Yuri never expected to see a pregnant Rosa step out.

"Ho, shit!" Rosa gasped, the plate of food falling from her hand and hitting the linoleum with a bang.

Yuri's eyes narrowed, "Rosa? What're you doing in my house?"

Rosa's mouth opened and closed as she frantically searched for something to say. "Y-Yuri! I thought you were dead!"

Gemma raised an eyebrow as she watched Yuri step around the couch so she stood in front of Rosa, her body tense and stiff with anger.

"Dead? I would be dead thanks to you, since you just took off, leaving me there to bleed out." Yuri scoffed as she watched Rosa's expression change from surprise to relief.

"But you're okay! Someone must have called the cops and they got there in time!" Rosa said, a small smile on her face as she took a step toward her best friend expecting a friendlier response.

"You didn't even bother to call the cops?!" Yuri exclaimed, completely stunned by the fact that her so-called best friend didn't even call the cops after she failed to return from the gas station shooting.

Instead of apologizing, Rosa was visibly caught off guard by what Yuri said before furrowing her brows and narrowing her eyes, "You know I couldn't do that, Yuri. I report what happened, they start asking questions about you, and before you know it they starting digging into my situation, and I-"

"Fuck your situation, Rosa." Yuri spat, "The gas station I was in got shot up. I was in there buying you snacks!" she said before chuckling in astonishment, "You really couldn't call the cops, huh? You could have done it anonymously."

Rosa took a step forward, "Don't try to make this my fault!" she spoke, her voice matching Yuri's tone.

"I can't believe you." Yuri said, her voice no longer filled with anger but with surprise and disappointment as she shook her head disapprovingly, "The gas station your 'best friend' was in gets shot up, so you drive off. I get that, but you don't even call the cops after safely getting away, thinking someone else will do it instead. What makes it worse is that you still didn't bother reporting anything after I'm missing for a week while you stayed in my house."

The room fell silent as Rosa glared at Yuri. The latter was past being angry, and just felt betrayed and disappointed.

"Why are you being so selfish, Yuri? I'm pregnant with an alcoholic boyfriend that likes to beat me. Staying here is the only way I can make sure me and my baby are safe."

Yuri closed her eyes briefly, "No, this wasn't the only way. It was the easiest." she said quietly. "I need to get some of my things. I advise you to stay out of my way. Pregnant or not, I won't hesitate to knock you on your ass." she warned before brushing past her.

During the four years that Rosa knew Yuri, she had never seen this side of her. She was usually quiet and detached, never angry or as animated as this.

Being the aggressive drama queen that always had to prove that she was the alpha, Rosa couldn't just let Yuri walk away after a threat like that. She stormed after the Asian girl, her face twisted into a scowl. Yuri's bedroom door was slammed open just as she was throwing clothes onto her bed.

"You think you can just threaten me and my baby like that?!" Rosa yelled as she grabbed Yuri by her shirt and pulled her back.

The smaller girl was able to keep her balance, and after fixing her shirt, her body tensed ready for another attack, "You can take your boyfriend putting his hands on you, but you can't take a threat from me? Shit Rosa, you're more fucked up than I thought." Yuri scoffed.

"Shut up, bitch!" Rosa hissed before lunging at Yuri and grabbing a fistful of her hair. Yuri yelped as she was yanked back and forth around her room. Despite her earlier threat, she was hesitant to actually strike the pregnant woman, but as she was continually thrown around, her anger reached its boiling point and she lashed back.

Aiming for Rosa's face, Yuri felt around for her eyes before applying pressure until she felt the pregnant Rosa loosen her grip. In an instant, she ripped herself away from Rosa and pushed her into the wall. Yuri watched as she slumped to the ground, her hands covering her eyes as she cried out in pain.

Gemma looked genuinely surprised as she stood in the doorway, "Did you blind the poor bitch?"

Yuri ran a hand through her messy hair as she took a step back, "I don't think so." she rasped before gathering up the pile of clothes on her bed and stuffing them into a large overnight bag. Gemma quirked an eyebrow at how disappointed Yuri sounded before following the younger girl out the house. Once outside, Yuri dug around in her pocket, pulled out her house keys, and chucked them into the shrubs as they made their way to Gemma's car.

The ride back was quiet for thirty long minutes before Gemma's laughter finally broke the silence. Yuri glanced over to her wondering why she was laughing after what had happened. Gemma gave her a 'What? Are you serious?' look.

"You're just full of surprises. I had the sneaking suspicion all Asians knew kung fu. Guess I was kinda right."

Yuri rolled her eyes, "Is this really the right time to be making racist jokes?"

Gemma was tempted to make another remark, but seeing the annoyed look on her passenger's face had her choosing a more serious route.

"She deserved it. The pregnant bitch left you there without calling the cops. Then she squatted in your house thinking you were dead and gone." Gemma spoke as she turned on her headlights on to illuminate the now dark streets.

"She was pregnant. I shouldn't have done that."

"It wasn't like you kicked the baby. So you stuck your thumbs in her eyes. I didn't see any blood. I'm sure she's fine."

Yuri sighed and closed her eyes, "What am I suppose to do now? She's not going to leave without a fight, and in the meantime, I have no money, and no place to stay. I've been gone for days, and presumed dead. I have no job, no home; nothing."

"We're letting you stay with us, aren't we?"

"Until my shoulder is fully healed. After that I'm on my own, and all this is put behind me." Yuri answered harsher than she would have liked.

Gemma opened her mouth to respond but was cut off literally by two cars blocking the road back to Charming. In front of the two brightly decorated cars were a group of seven Mexican street thugs.

"What the fuck is this?" Gemma asked, her eyes squinting as she tried to get a better look at the group.

"They have guns, Gemma." Yuri said, worry creeping into her voice as she eyed the handguns and rifles in their hands. Gemma swallowed hard as they sat there unsure of what to do exactly.

"We can't pass them. Turn around, and we can go back to the police." Yuri suggested. She looked over to Gemma who was shaking her head. "They won't do shit. We're in Mayan territory."

"Mayan? Territory? For fuck's sake, Gemma! They're the cops, they'll help. Just turn around!" Yuri said, astonished that Gemma had even said something like that before bright lights from both sides of the car temporarily blinded them. The deafening roar of multiple bikes drowned out Gemma's string of obscenities as she pressed down on the gas.

Through sheer luck, Gemma was able to somehow turn the car around and shoot back towards Oakland.

"Who the fuck are these guys?!" Yuri yelled as the bikes began to follow them.

"You tellin' me you lived in Oakland for four years and never heard of the Mayans?!"

Yuri threw her hands up, "I don't listen to the news, and I don't go out enough to just hear about them on the street!"

"Get my phone and call Jax or Clay. Speed dial one and two." Gemma commanded as she sped back into Oakland.

"Fucking Rosa must have called Tito. I knew he was in a gang, but I didn't think it was some shit like this."

Gemma laughed a bit, "Pregnant bitches are always crazy."

Jax had just kicked the Mayan bikes over when he received Gemma's call. He thought about ignoring it, but she never called unless it was something relatively important.

"Mom, this isn't the right-"

"Jax! J-Jax! There are some guys on bikes chasing us!" Yuri interrupted as shots were fired. "They're shooting at us! Gemma says they're Mayans."

Jax growled in annoyance, "Shit! Tell Gemma to drive to Jury's place! Pull around back and we'll be waiting, alright?"

Yuri screamed as a bullet shot past her, "Okay!" she yelled into the phone before hanging up. "Jax said drive to Jury's place, and pull around back. They'll be waiting for us!" she called over the sound of gunshots.

As Jax made his way to Jury's club, he pulled out his phone and called Clay, "Gemma and Yuri are on their way over there. They got Mayans on them."

"You gotta be shitting me. Why are Mayans going after them?!" Clay yelled.

"I don't know, Clay. I got about ten following me. Don't know how many the girls have. Be ready for big fucking fight." Jax said before flipping the phone closed.

Clay slammed his fist down on the counter causing everyone to stop and look, "We got more than ten Mayans coming our way. Gemma and that girl got Mayan heat."

The group exchanged a look before preparing the guns for the Mayans fight.

"H-Hey, Gemma! Three of them are falling back!" Yuri said as she looked over her shoulder at the three Mayans now following them.

"We're here." Gemma said as she cut the car to the left and pulled in behind the club. The timing was perfect as Jax had rode in moments before, which caused the two groups of Mayans to mesh together before reaching Jury's club.

"Down!" Gemma commanded as she put a hand on the back of Yuri's head and forced her to duck.

Seconds later, the firefight started. It lasted two or three minutes, but to Yuri, it felt like forever.

Once the shooting ceased, both Gemma and Yuri slowly raised their heads.

"What the fuck?" Yuri questioned as Jax and Clay rounded the corner.

"You two okay?" Jax called as he opened the passenger side of Gemma's car and helped a shaky Yuri out. Unable to stand quite yet, she held on tightly to Jax who wrapped his arm around her.

"Everyone's okay except for my car. Look at it." Gemma said gesturing to all the bullet holes that riddled the car.

"Why were the Mayans shooting at you?" Clay asked angrily as he wrapped a protective arm around Gemma's waist.

Yuri looked over to Gemma, fear written all over her face. If Clay was told the truth, he'd get rid of Yuri permanently. Gemma stared back at her for a moment before turning back to her husband.

"We were out shopping like we said. While we were leaving, some Mayans coming down the street saw us, and next thing we know they're chasing after us. At first it seemed like they were just trying to scare us, but I had Yuri call Jax. He told us to come out here, and once out of Charming, they started shooting."

Jax and Clay looked at each other knowing what this all meant.

"Sounds like some Mayans decided to stir up some shit in Charming while we were out here. Probably meant to go to the clubhouse, but saw them first." Jax said before looking down at a shaken up Yuri. "Let's go inside." he said, leading her into the club.

It didn't take long for the place to be crawling with cops. Luckily, a man named Jury had the cops in his pocket, so everything was cleared and good to go.

"Heard Gemma had some Mayans after her too." Jury said, rolling his sleeve down over his wound.

Jax shook his head, "That was a bold move. We're gonna have to do something about them sooner than later. Next time, they might not be so lucky."

At a table by themselves, Yuri and Gemma sat in silence before the younger spoke up.

"Why'd you lie about what happened?" Yuri asked, her voice low and hushed. Gemma raised an eyebrow as if to say 'Do you really need me to answer that?'

"I think we both know that if I had told Clay what really happened, you wouldn't be sitting here drinking Tequila with me."

Yuri was silent as she stared at Gemma who drank the alcohol in the shot glass like they weren't just shot at minutes earlier.

"It's pretty obvious at this point that you're not just some motorcycle club that runs an auto shop."

Gemma gave her shot glass a little shake and watched as the golden liquid crashed against the sides. She was thinking of what to say when her cell rang. Pulling it out, she was relieved to see it was Luann.

"I have had a shitty day. One of my best girls up and quit on me. Can you fucking believe that? Just up and leaves! It's probably that pencil-dick Georgie stealing my girls. Anyways, I got what you wanted. I came by to drop it off, but you weren't there." Luann's voice rang from the other side of the phone.

"You can drop it off tomorrow, I'll be there for sure."

"Alright, see ya tomorrow then, hun." Luann said before the line went dead. Gemma flipped the phone close, a small smirk on her face as she downed the rest of the drink, eyeing the dazed Yuri from behind the glass.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

This version of chapter four is currently unbeta'd. I did run through and correct as many grammatical errors as I could find. I'll edit this chapter with revisions once I get the beta version. In the meantime, I'd like to thank the nine people following this story. I've never done anything like this before, so it's a really big thing for me, so sorry if I'm making a mountain out of a molehill. Next I would like to thank the person that favorited my story; it really means a lot to me. Lastly, the three people that reviewed my story.

Cupcake81 - I've already told you through PMs how thankful I am for your review, but thank you again for being the first to review my story.

Ch. 3 Guest - I'm really happy that you like my story so far. I'll try not to disappoint!

nictoria19 - I hope you continue to read, and stick with us~ I hope my story lives up to your expectations!

Since I didn't have anything to do yesterday, I fiddled around with Premiere Pro, and shat out something that resembles a trailer for this story. Before I link everyone, I'd like to warn that any who has seen S5 ( a lot of my mid sequence clips came from there ) shouldn't expect that what happened in S5 will be in my story, for it may or may not happen the same way or at all. For those that can speak and/or understand Chinese, I have bits of Chinese in the trailer, and I know that what I have written, isn't what they are saying. I'm not that good of a video editor that I can piece together something that will make sense. Watching this may be hard for anyone who understands or speaks Chinese. Sorry! Anyways, the trailer is a mixture of some things that will be seen soon in the story, while others you won't be seeing for a long time. Or maybe I'm doing that Hollywood crap where it's taken out of context to give you the wrong idea. Who knows~ It's not perfect, just something I threw together out of boredom and for a challenge. If the youtube video quality is terrible for some, I will include a mediafire download link once it is finished uploading. For now, it's ( possibly? ) crappy youtube quality. Enjoy! Just type in youtube like you normally would with a back slash ( / ) at the end and then add that behind it.
