"I think she's coming round." Jon's voice floated through a thick fog that enveloped my brain. "I was beginning to think I'd broken her neck."

There was laughter from Jon's brother. "Wouldn't that have figured? You kill the bartering chip."

"I'm not a THING." I groaned and sat up. "And I'm right here, so you shouldn't be talking about me."

"What do you think, Mike?" Jon was sitting at a table with his feet on top. "You still doubt what I say?"

Mike shook his dirty-blonde head. "No, I think you were right. She's definitely related to him, they're both so arrogant."

I narrowed my eyes and stood up. "Thank you very much for your hospitality, but I've got to go." My legs wobbled as I tried to take a step forward.

The two men laughed and turned back to the table. A game of cards was spread out and a pile of money sat in the middle.

"Do as you wish, but if you leave your brother will die."

I stopped and knew at once it was a mistake. "Is that so?"

"Without you here we have no way to make him stop and talk. He may even think you dead, that might make him act rash."

I snorted, "He's always rash. You're stupid though. Let me go or you will be killed."

The men laughed, " Ooo, drama. But I don't think so." Mike stepped forward to block the door.

"He's right. We can't let you go just now." Jon punched me in the jaw, adding to the bruises. I stumbled and he punched me in the stomach.

It went on for what felt like hours but was probably only a few minutes. I finally sat in a corner and lay my head gently on my knees, waiting. According to these men, Duo and the others would be here before long. Shouts and the sound of guns echoed down the halls. I looked up, squinting to see between my swollen lids. Jon and Mike stood up and faced the door.

"Finally. They took their sweet time coming." Mike loaded his gun and watched the door. I stood up shakily behind them and watched as well.

It took only minutes for my right eye to swell completely shut and for the sounds of the guns to reach our hall. I could hear swearing and other yells as well.

"Hmm, those guards shouldn't be that much of a challenge to them should they?" Jon sounded like he was commenting on the weather.

The door fell to with a bang to show Wufei with his leg cocked. I smiled slightly and flinched.

"Arashi!" Wufei blinked in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"Watch out! They have guns!" I couldn't see Mike's because he was on my left but I knew Jon was leveling a gun at Wufei. The first shot missed and Wufei ducked back into the hall. I felt my knees give out from under me and I hit the ground.

"You're wasting your time." I lay my head against the wall. "They're not stupid enough to come in here."

Jon turned around and grabbed the back of my shirt. I felt the gun put to my head and I sighed.

"We've got the American's sister in here! Come in here and she'll live."

"You don't even know for sure that I am related to him." I didn't fight back.

Jon raised his eyebrows and Mike laughed. "You all but told us you were. Wait, you did tell us you are."

"Maybe I lied." I yawned wildly. It must have been nearly midnight, if not later, and I hadn't slept. "For all you know my name is Carroll Harrison." It then occurred to me that Wufei had said my name.

Something made me look up and Duo was standing there holding a pistol. He was aiming at Jon.

"Let her go." I ducked, ripping my shirt and covered my head. There were several shots and the men fell over.

I stayed on the ground until someone touched my shoulder. "Arashi, are OK?" I looked up to see Duo next to me.

"Where are they?" I scrambled up and glanced around. Jon and Mike lay a few feet away, bleeding from bullet wounds in their legs and, in Jon's case, one in the arm. I walked right up to Jon and kicked him in the ribs. He grunted and Duo had to pull me away to keep me from kicking him more.

"Relax, Arashi! What are you doing?"

"He's the one that beat me up! I feel completely justified in killing him."

Duo grabbed my chin and I yelped; he'd grabbed a bruise. He examined my face and turned to Jon. I couldn't figure out what he was doing at first and then he drew his foot back and kicked Jon in the face.
