"Let's go." Arya's eyes blazed. She quickly glanced at her brothers, "Watch the boys please." Then she was out the front door and headed to her car.
Haru jumped in beside her. "If they've been hurt…"
"I'm going to kill them."
Haru shuddered at her expression and stared out the windshield instead.
She pulled up to the place Tomoya's tracker was listed at. She got out quickly, racing to the door and kicking it open.
A swarm of vampires turned toward her and hissed in unison.
Haru hissed back furiously.
Arya started firing at them, taking them down one by one.
A man slowly descended from the roof, wings flapping gently. He held a limp shifter under each arm as he licked his bloodstained lips. "So sweet."
She continued to take out the other vampires before turning to him with a growl. She aimed at him and fired quickly.
He dodged it, then met her eyes with a sadistic smile. He released Kaien and Toya, watching them fall toward the floor.
Arya threw her hand out, air catching the two men and lowering them down gently.
"You're always spoiling the fun." The vampire scowled.
Haru's wings unfurled and he lunged at the man, pushing him out the window and disappearing from sight.
Arya quickly rushed toward Tomoya and Kaien, checking them over quickly.
Tomoya's pulse fluttered under her fingers, silence from Kaien's. Blood covered both of them.
She coated them in pink light, steadying Tomoya's pulse and then praying to revive Kaien.
He jerked, inhaling violently just as there was an explosion outside.
Arya stayed a couple moments longer to make sure Kaien was alright before rushing outside to see what happened.
Kimito was in dragon form, crouched over a downed Haru. He shot another fireball at the vampire warningly.
Arya looked at the vampire, "What do you want?"
"Every hunter dead."
She growled, shooting lightning from her hand out at him.
He screamed, catching fire before beginning to crumble.
She turned to look at Haru, kneeling beside him to check him over.
Blood streamed from a gash on his forehead, but there were no other external injuries.
She held her hands out and began healing the wound.
Kimito reverted, bending over and taking a deep breath.
"You okay?"
"Just takes a lot of energy to hurl those. I just need a minute. He okay?"
"I think so," she stood and carried Haru to the car before going in to get the other brothers. Once the car was full she looked at Kimito, "Want a ride?"
He shook his head. "I'm meeting Yuuto for dinner. Take care of the stooges." He waved, then headed for the bus stop.
Arya took off toward home, pulling up in front before carrying the men inside.
Her brothers watched in alarm, then quickly helped carry them.
She checked them all over again before sitting down quietly.
Ryusei laid a hand on her shoulder. "Are you hurt?"
She shook her head, "No, I'm alright."
"The boys are inhaling pizza. Ryon has declared it the best food in the world."
She smiled, "I'm glad he likes it."
"You should rest."
She nodded, getting up and heading out of the room. She checked on the boys before heading to her and Tomoya's room to nap.
She got up a while later and headed out toward the medical room.
Tomoya was cursing in Fae as he struggled to get free from a set of restraints.
"Why are you in these?" She asked softly.
"Soldier boy ambushed me." He growled. "He's under the idea that only he can get rid of the warrant. Like a fucking idiot."
She undid the restraints, "Let's go fix this."
He nodded. "The roadhouse is behind this. I told him Argo's death was going to bite us."
"Let's go to the roadhouse then."
He slid off the bed and headed for the door. "They want Kaien isolated. It'll make the kill easier."
She sighed and followed him.
He headed for the car, his eyes flickering.
"Don't worry, we'll take care of this."
He slid into the passenger seat, taking a deep breath. "The Council won't cancel the warrant without proof. We have to keep one of them alive."
"Okay.. so only kill most of them," she chuckled.
He choked off a laugh.
She stared out the window as she drove, pulling up to the roadhouse.
There were bikes in the lot, lights on in the building.
Tomoya began to climb out, then froze as an anguished howl rent the air.
Arya growled and ran toward the building.
Tomoya beat her to the door, crashing through it in wolf form.
She entered behind him, trying to control her anger.
Kaien was in wolf form, his legs forced into a hogtied position. At least one of them was snapped, hanging limp. Claw marks dotted every spot visible as the other wolves savagely swiped at him. Blood was beginning to coat both him and the floor. He was weakly attempting to dodge, but quickly weakening.
Arya lost it, throwing her hand out and beginning to shoot lightning at the other wolves.
Tomoya leapt into the crowd, snarling and slicing with his claws. He stood above his brother's figure and bared his teeth in fury.
She continued to take them out until a couple turned to her. She backed up and tried to shoot at them.
Tomoya let out a howl and leapt onto them, his muzzle snapping at their throats.
They took them down and Arya saw a chance to run to Kaien. She knelt beside him and began pouring pink light into him.
He reverted, only semiconscious. His right arm was fractured horribly, the bone sticking out of the fabric of his flannel. Blood was trickling out of his mouth, more blood pulsing from his abdomen.
She slowly closed up the wounds, moving his arm gently to try to put the bone back in place to heal it up. She had finally got him to stop bleeding when she heard growls behind her. She turned and noticed a couple wolves staring at her.
"Do it and die." Tomoya's voice was the coldest she'd ever heard. He cocked his pistol at the wolves.
Arya moved slowly and stood, analyzing the room. She noticed only the couple wolves left. She focused for a moment until vines appeared, wrapping around them tightly.
He made his way over to her, kneeling with a panicked cry. "Kaien?"
Arya knelt back down, going back to pouring her healing light. She finally got his arm healed up and checked him over for any other wounds.
Nothing revealed itself.
"We need to go to the Council." Tomoya's voice was tight. He dialed his phone and waited. "Toshi, I need you to come sit on soldier boy. I need the Council convened now." He listened for a moment, then hung up.
He glanced at the wolves, then at Arya. "All of them or just one?"
"Take all of them just in case."
He nodded, then pulled out restraints. "Revert. Now."
When they did, he cuffed and sat them down near the door. "If you run, I will rip your throats out."
The men swallowed hard, and sat quietly.
Arya stood again and waited.
Toshi stepped inside and surveyed the room. "Pretty sure this place is now a community eyesore."
She chuckled slightly in response before starting toward the door.
"Soldier boy going to be alright?" He looked over at Kaien's unconscious form.
"He should be now. He lost some blood and needs to rest, but other than that he's alright."
"Okay. I'll take him home." He turned to Tomoya. "Daigo is convening the Council. They'll be there by the time you get there."
Tomoya gave him a small smile. "Thanks." He pulled the men to their feet and shoved them out the doorway.
Arya followed quietly.
He pushed them into the backseat, then secured them to the doors with zip ties. "Let's go."
Arya started the car, "Where are we going?"
"Police headquarters. Basement."
She nodded and started driving. They pulled up to the headquarters and got out, getting the men and taking them inside.
Tomoya led her into the basement where a twelve seat table sat. Numerous people were talking quietly in the corner.
Daigo caught her eye and he gave her a smile.
She smiled and stayed quiet, watching the people.
Finally, the room settled. Daigo took his seat as various others followed.
"Council is convened. Hunter Tomita, explain yourself."
Tomoya stepped into the center of the room and addressed the group.
"Honored Council. I respectfully request the termination of the warrant on Kaien. We have the true perpetrators in custody and have brought them for judgement."
There was muttering from a certain member, his mixed eyes revealing his shifter status.
"Hunter Tomita. Your brother killed an unarmed shifter unprovoked. We have video evidence."
Arya wanted to argue that Kaien wouldn't do that, but didn't know if she was allowed to speak.
"I can prove that evidence was manufactured." A gruff voice spoke from a back corner.
"Step forward."
Arya watched quietly.
A tall blonde moved up beside Tomoya and pressed a button on his phone. "I just sent the restored file. It will prove Kaien was not responsible." He bowed his head and retreated.
The convening member glanced at the assembled people. "We will look at this evidence and then announce our verdict."
The Council rose as one and filed into a back room.
Tomoya's shoulders sagged as he suddenly went to one knee.
"Are you alright?" Arya asked softly.
He refused to look at her, his jaw clenched tightly.
She knelt beside him and scanned him over.
Blood was leaking into his abdomen from a ruptured spleen. He was going into shock, but forced himself up as the back room's door opened.
Daigo was the first out, flashing a peace sign at them with a smile. His eyes grew concerned as he noted Tomoya's condition.
The wolf shook his head at him as the head of the Council spoke. "We have examined the evidence and it is the verdict that Kaien Tomita's warrant be voided. The members of Argo Tsubaka's pack are hereby banished from the community. That is all."
The Council dispersed as Daigo made his way over to them. "You are not well."
Arya began pushing energy into Tomoya quietly.
"It's nothing. Let's go tell Kaien the good news."
"It's not nothing, you have a ruptured organ!" Arya hissed.
He gave her a blank look as he swayed. "I just got sucker punched by the vamp earlier. Probably just a bruise."
"I know what I'm talking about. Just let me heal you, alright?" She put a hand on him to keep him steady as she continued to push energy into him.
He winced, blinking slowly as his eyesight doubled. "I'm.." He toppled into Daigo's arms, out cold.
Arya shook her head and continued to heal him. When she was done, she carried him to the car and set him gently in the passenger seat and drove him home.
Toshi emerged with a frown. He bent to look inside the car and winced as he saw his partner. "Council over already? And he looks like shit."
"He needs rest. And yeah, they called off the warrant."
