He followed her out to the car, sliding into the passenger seat after checking his pistol. As she pulled out of the lot, he asked "You're not going to quote arrest regulations at me, are you?"
She shook her head, "Not on this one."
"Alright. Which one of us will be bait?"
"I figure I'll start poking around outside, trying to look in the windows and stuff. If she doesn't come out, I'm knocking the door down like she did mine."
"She knocked down your door? Surprised you didn't fill her full of holes."
"I wasn't near my gun," Arya sighed.
"Pity." He looked thoughtful. "Why don't we do both? You kick her door in and I'll lurk outside. Maybe we can catch her in a crossfire."
Arya nodded, "Alright. Sounds good."
He laughed, staring out the window and humming under his breath.
She smiled, looking out the window.
He rolled his eyes when they arrived. "What a dump."
"I hope she's actually here.."
"I hear that." Haru stealthily exited the car, making for an exposed window. He peered in, then turned and gave Arya a thumbs up.
Arya got out and prepped her gun before going and kicking at the door. She had to kick it a couple times for it to fully move. She then entered, gun drawn.
"Well, if it isn't Tomoya's little pet." Yashiro rose from the floor fluidly. "How are the idiot twins?"
Arya growled and aimed her gun at Yashiro, "They're alive." She fired quickly.
Yashiro dodged smoothly as a loud explosion was heard. She laughed at Arya's look of alarm. "Did someone trigger my booby trap? Wonder how many pieces he's in?" She ran full on at Arya, her eyes feral.
Arya moved quickly, trying to dodge her. She attempted to shoot at her again, but Yashiro knocked her arm out of the way.
"Too slow." Yashiro punched her in the stomach, then in the face.
Arya stumbled back before trying to hit Yashiro. She got herself straightened out before aiming at the other woman again.
Yashiro circled her tauntingly. "Are you going to kill me? Or be a good little officer and try to arrest me?"
Arya prepared to fire, turning in a circle so she didn't lose aim.
"If you don't, just know I'll get free and visit Tomoya and his brothers again. One by one I'll kill and let you find them." Yashiro grinned sadistically.
Arya growled, "That's not going to happen." She finally shot her gun at her.
Yashiro looked stunned for a moment, looking down at the spreading bloodstain on her shirt before silently crumpling to the floor.
Arya quickly checked to make sure Yashiro no longer had a pulse before rushing outside to check on Haru.
He stumbled toward her, a trail of blood on the ground behind him. One side of his jacket was bloody and his eyes were dazed.
She wrapped an arm around him and helped him to the car. She helped him inside before driving quickly to the hospital.
"Where?" His pupils were large, his words slow.
"Just relax. She's gone." She got him to the ER, getting a wheelchair and quickly wheeling him in.
"Sorry I screwed up." He managed to say before his head slumped forward.
Arya waited until he was taken to a room before going up to Yuuto's room.
Kaien looked up and winced. "You found her, I take it."
"Yeah. Haru is in the ER right now, but he's alive."
"What about her?"
"Dead."
He nodded. "You should get cleaned up. Keisuke wants to see you. Toya woke up."
Arya nodded, leaving the room and trying to find Keisuke.
He was at the nurse's station, writing on a chart. He looked at her critically. "Are you alright?"
"I'll be fine."
"You want to know, right?" He led her to a chair.
"Yeah," she sat down.
He sighed. "He's better than expected, but he does have some issues."
"Okay.. What's wrong?"
"Tremors, memory issues. Nothing surprising."
Arya nodded slowly.
"I'll take you to see him if you wish." Keisuke watched her closely.
"Alright."
"You're not going to ask anything more?" He seemed surprised, but stood anyway.
"Should I? Is there more I need to know?"
Keisuke hesitated. "Can I ask exactly what your relationship is?"
"Kind of dating? We haven't exactly labeled anything."
The doctor nodded. "He may not remember you. When he woke, he asked about his parents."
Arya nodded slowly, "Alright."
"Follow me." He led her up to a private ICU room. "Don't be afraid. He hasn't changed."
Arya nodded again and slowly entered the room.
Tomoya was idly flipping television channels, his eyes not really focused. He turned to her, a look of confusion crossing his face. He stared at her, one hand touching the bandage around his head. "I-I'm sorry."
"For what?" she asked quietly.
"For going off half cocked and leaving you alone. I should have waited." He looked down, wincing slightly.
"It's alright. We took her out." She pulled up a chair next to him.
"What?" He squeaked in surprise.
"I shot her."
"Remind me to never piss you off." He chuckled softly, then looked at her closely. "You're hurt."
"I'll be fine."
He switched off the tv, tossing the remote onto a nearby table. "You were scared when you came in..why?"
"Just worried about you. Heard you could have some memory issues and wondered if you'd remember everything."
"You were afraid I'd forgotten you?" He asked softly as he cupped her cheek. "Never happen."
She smiled softly before remembering, "Not to worry you, but Haru was going to the ER."
"He breathing?"
"He was when I came upstairs."
"Then I'm not worried..much. As long as he stays that way."
She nodded, "Alright."
He leaned forward, pressing his lips to hers gently.
She kissed him back hard.
He gave a breathy laugh as they parted. "I love you."
"I love you too."
There was a knock on the door. "Are you decent?" Kaien's voice sounded amused.
Arya chuckled, "Come in."
He poked his head in. "Haru is in Yuuto's room and already complaining. I have to go to work, so can you check on him occasionally?"
"Yeah, don't worry."
He grinned at them. "You two remember you're healing now, okay? I don't want to get a call about you two committing public indecency. Save it for the house."
Arya rolled her eyes in response.
Tomoya threw the remote at him, hitting the door instead. They could hear Kaien's laughter disappear down the hall.
Arya went and got the remote and set it on the side table.
"He's too fast to hit now. That trick worked when he was younger."
She chuckled softly. "So how are you feeling?"
"Tolerable. Don't ask me to go run a marathon yet though."
She nodded, "So do you want to watch something or do you want to get some sleep? Or something else?"
He raised an eyebrow. "What are you thinking?"
She shrugged, "Whatever you want to do."
He sat up slowly and kissed her. "This seems like fun.."
She chuckled and kissed him gently.
After a few minutes, he yawned. "Damn meds."
"Just rest. We can kiss more later," she chuckled. "I better go check on your brothers."
"Take tranquilizer darts." Tomoya laughed as he laid back down.
Arya smiled and slipped out of the room, going to Yuuto's room and cracking the door open. She stuck her head in to see if they were awake.
Yuuto wiggled his fingers at her.
Haru was asleep, his face calm as he snored lightly.
She went to the chair next to Yuuto's bed, "How are you feeling?"
He gave her a smile. "Not bad. Keisuke says I'll be released in the morning." He glanced over at his brother. "What put him in here this time? He's been more asleep than awake."
"He hit one of Yashiro's booby traps."
Yuuto winced sympathetically. "Damn."
"But at least we got her."
"Yeah. How's Toya taking it?"
"He's doing well."
Yuuto nodded. "I'm glad you've drawn him out of his shell. He locked his feelings away after she betrayed him. But he's been happy since you two met."
"I'm glad to help," she smiled.
