Hello alls... A bit late, but I posted, no guns required... Unless it inclues K.

(Shuichi jumps around the room in the background.)

Yuki: I'm going to kill you, he's been up for three days and hasn't stopped!

(Dodges Yuki's punches.) He'll be asleep, in 5... 4... 3...

Shuichi: (Stops dead in his tracks and crumples to the ground asleep.)

Damn... I was off.

Yuki: (Grabs her by the collar and drags her off screen her screaming and kicking.)

Chapter 3: War

'Your only friend in war is your gun.'

-Unknown

Yuki glared at Tohma. He really did hate him and he was sure that Tohma had something to do with Shuichi's disappearance. He laughed inwardly, of course, not even the 'Great Tohma Seguchi' couldn't of expected things to turn out as they did. N-G was going down financially and there newest bands weren't helping them. He should feel lucky, Shuichi's alive and if he came back, the company would be saved. Yuki felt like laughing again as he glared at the company president, maybe the new Shuichi could take him down. That would be nice to see him squirm, since my best efforts never do anything, but make him laugh. Yuki casually glanced at the door as he heard the light creaking of it opening. A guy in a buisness suit and a gun strapped to his left side walked in. Yuki was sure that his name was 'K', but he could never be too sure, the former Bad Luck manager was crazy enough without him remembering his name.

"Ah, K... Nice of you to join us." Tohma said in a calm voice motioning K to sit at the conference table.

'Damn... I was better off not knowing it.' Yuki thought as K sat across from him.

K gave a sheepish grin and a wave as he said 'yo', hoping to at least get a reponse out of Yuki. After a minute of Yuki glaring at him, he gave up coughing and stood up.

"Now... I've been told that Shuichi is caught up in gang activities..." He pulled a folder out of his discarded jacket, never even bothering to put it on in the first place. "Or Kage, as he's known on the streets." He opened the folder and lightly tossed it in the center of the table, pictures of Shuichi and random people from within' his gang surrounding him. K got a serious look on his face as Bad Luck walked in, quietly sitting down. K gave them, well the two, a small nod before continuing. "Shuichi, under the alias of 'Kage,' has gone from a noboby to the leader of one of the highest regarded gangs in Japan. He only has the misfits and people that were hand selected..." He sighed and placed a hand on the table. "In other words, you have about 20 gangs you have to go through to get to him." He frowned rolling up his sleeves, what he had to tell next made him nervous, but he had to tell them. "It'll mostly be easier to get to him now though, there's word of a gang war errupting... The Myou Itsumis are the main cause of that. I'd say that Shuichi's in too deep... I don't even know if I can get him out."

Yuki frowned. This was something that he didn't want to hear. He looked around, the others looking as if this wasn't the answer they were expecting. He crossed his arms, it's not like K's a miracle worker. If Shuichi is that far in, only he, himself, can get out.

Hiro stood up, doing something very unlike him... He grabbed K by the collar and punched him, K falling back into his seat. Hiro glared at him, screaming 'what do you mean you can't?' Yuki's mouth hung open like a fish, it was something very unexpected, yet understandable. Hiro had thought his best friend and leader was dead, but now that he was found alive, he wanted everything in his power to bring him back. K rubbed his bruised cheek.

"I said that I don't know, not that I can't... I'm getting together a bunch of my old friends to help me out... One of them is in Kage's gang... He goes by Kakashi I believe." He shrugged. "Or at least that's the name he was going by last time I seen him."

Hiro took a deep breath trying to calm down, though his glare still remained. Fujisaki sat there, trying to be calm and content, but he looked like he wanted to tear up the room just as bad as Hiro. Hiro let out a huff and sighed sitting down in the chair beside K.

"So how do you plan on doing this?"

Kage sighed. Seven gangs and none of them wanted to ally with him. It seemed that the Myous had them wrapped around their fingers. Kage growled at the thought of lossing every ally and even the people in his gang. He shook his head and continued down the street. I picked them out one by one, their the best and the most loyal. They wouldn't do that to him.

Before Kage could bring himself out of his thoughts he heard a bang and a sharp pain began to throb in his left shoulder. 'Damn it... Not out in public... Are they crazy!' Kage grasped his left shoulder and ran for the back alleys, stopping short when the wall beside him was shot. 'Shit... Not now, not in public!' People were panicing by the second shot and running for their lives, if there would of been more people Kage could of gotten lost in the crowd.

"Damn it all... Come out! Show your face coward!" Kage let go of his shoulder and took the gun hidden under the back of his shirt, .45 mm, slick and silver, the perfect gun for him.

A laughter filled the now empty street. Kage knew that cops would be coming and that meant nothing, but trouble.

"Come out and face me man to man!" Kage glared about the rooftops and the buildings, in an attempt to find him or at least get his words to draw him out.

After Kage clutched his shoulder again, the guy came out. He grinned from the rooftop of a building. He was cloaked in black, his hair a firey red. Kage narrowed his eyes as he jumped off landing gracefully on the asfault, the long jacket that covered him, reveling nothing.

The guy's face was hidden by his long hair, the wind suddenly shifted, reveling his face and the flamelco sign on his cheek. Kage's eyes went wide, then he immediately fell back into his role, smirking and showing nothing but confidence and a large ego.

The guy laughed as he steadily walked towards Kage, Kage aiming his gun at the assassin. He wouldn't be defeated by a Myou, not if he could help it.

He stopped and looked at Kage frowning. "You can't kill me with that." He spoke almost as if he was e xpecting more from the leader.

Kage smirked. "No, but they will."

Just after Kage spoke, Kakashi stepped out of the shadows of the side alley, followed by the others in Kage's gang. They all carried heavy weapons, a bazooka here, a sniper there, and some wielding kunais. The assassin looked at everyone, his smile faultering as he took an unsteady step back. He frowned at Kage.

"I'll be back..." He turned and ran. Kage's eyes narrowed. The guy was a liability. The gears in Kage's head turned as he held up his hand. He'd always hated killing, but the guy was too strong and it'd be trouble if he came back. Kage's hand dropped and the gang immediately began to jump rooftops after him and others with snipers, aiming at him. Kage flinched with every shot. Three shots in a row... Then one to finish it. Kage knew exactly what happened as he turned and walked away. Kakashi, who hadn't gone after the assassin watched Kage frowning under his mask. 'You never were made to be a gang leader, not you of Reiku.' Kakashi thought as he turned and walked into the alley disappearing into the shadows.

Kage clutched his shoulder again. It really was starting to hurt. He glanced about the streets before heading into the crowds. He really didn't want anyone hurt again, but he had to get out there before the cops could catch wind of 'gang activity'. Kage sighed and continued on. "Time to go see Doc." He muttered to himself as he turned the corner coming face to face with Kakashi and K. Kage blinked then gave a 'yo' before walking inbetween him. K grabbed Kage by the shoulder making him whince. Kage batted his hand away glaring. "Kakashi, tell your friend that it's rude to grab other people's wounds."

Kage abruptly turned around and walked into the nearest house, which happened to be Docs.

Kakashi shugged and followed K a bit shocked that he hadn't been recognized at all. He'd have to change that.

Kage grinned to a guy in a lab coat and the guy frowned at the wound and shook his head. "Sit down Kage."

Kage's grin grew as he began to fumble around for the right tools. "Doc, relax... It's only a bullet wound."

Doc huffed. "That's what you said last time and I found a bullet filled with posion."

Kage scratched his head as Doc sat tools down on the small metal table next to him. "You had to bring that up Doc, I told you I was sorry."

Doc rolled is eyes as he sat backwards in a rolling office chair and inspected the wound. "Yeah, sure you were... Doc pointed towards the door with a scalpal. "Who's your friend... I recognize Kakashi, but who's the other?"

"No clue, now stop stalling, I have a hole in me." Doc was immediately cleaning up the wound. "Your lucky... It didn't hit your shoulder blade, in fact it missed everything and the bullet went through." Doc began fubbling for his stitches. "You have the best luck with wounds." Kage clentched is teeth together as Doc sealed up his wound. After a few minutes Kage jumped up out of the chair and grinned. "Thanks Doc."

Doc shook his head. "You owe me big kid."

Kage grinned. "I'll get you some more of those angel things you like so much."

Doc laughed. "If you can find them... Now get out of my house before I turn you into my new project."

Kage waved and walked into the front hall to see no one. Kage shrugged and walked outside only to have a gun pointed to the temple of his head. Kage held up his hands and he could hear the door shut behind him. After a moment he frowned and pushed the gun away to see K was the one wielding the gun and Kakashi was on the other side of him. He frowned. "Real fucking cute Kakashi... When you wake up naked in front of Reiku's gang, don't come crying to me." Kage started walking again, K grabbing his arm. Kage flinched a bit and jerked his arm away. "Persistant bastands... What in the fuck do you want!" Kage was really starting to get pissed now.

K put his gun away frowning. He wasn't expecting Shuichi to react like that. "I'd like to talk to you about a job proposal." K quickly said coming up with a lie.

Kage raised a brow. "Continue."

K nodded. "As the lead singer in a band for N-G."

Kage twitched. "And how do you know that I'm any good at singing?"

Kakashi raised his hand. "That'd be me."

Kage glared at Kakashi then sighed. "I guess I'm out numbered... I'll see your N-G and give you my answer later."

K nodded and grinned. "Come with me, my car's around the corner."

Okay, so they have him again, but I don't think that he's going to put up with K... Sweet, a battle between Shuichi and K. Takes out a piece of paper and starts scribbling

Okay, I'll post again when I get ungrounded so, see you all later.
