Akairo sat on the edge of one the main buildings in Vale watching everyone. She sipped on her iced coffee waiting for Blanche to show his ugly face again after the manipulative crap he had tried to pull on Scarlet. She hadn't slept much in the last twenty hours. She was on her third iced coffee and she felt jittery but she ignored it.

Akairo had tried to get her girlfriend to talk about what it was that he had said but she would only repeat the same stuff,

I know that asshole had said something else. I wonder if he had threatened everyone and she feels too scared to say something. Unless he had something good to offer...

Akairo bit her lip.

She could be right back to where she likes being. I guess in a way I wouldn't blame her. Even though I have to piss so bad from all the coffee... This all makes me miss it. Maybe mayhem is part of my soul?

The people in the area started to thin out. Her red eyes darted around waiting for something unusual to happen. Another thirty minutes passed. She sighed and got up.

If a building gets blown up while I pee so be it.

Akairo left for the inside for a bathroom and came back to the roof a few minutes later. Everything looked the same as it was making her slightly suspicious. She wrinkled her nose and drew her sword as she whipped around. Blanche was standing there in jeans and a casual looking shirt. Akairo arched an eyebrow at him. She knew there were other hiding but she couldn't see them.

"You smelled me before I even stepped towards you. What a great nose."

"What do you want prick?" she snapped.

"I've come just to talk."

Akairo looked unamused and had the look in her eyes like she didn't quite believe him.

"What is the ex leader of the White Fang doing under the son of some criminal lord?" he asked.

"What I do is my business."

"Is it?"

A few of Blanche's men came out of the shadows.

"You afraid of little 'ol me?" she teased with a creepy grin on her face.

Some of the men shuddered. Her blood red eyes were one of the hardest thing to look at because they were so creepy and scary looking.

"Some. I've heard about you. You murder people without a second thought pretty much but yet you're allowed to walk the streets like you never did anything wrong."

"I guess I am so infamous on the streets. I hate to disappoint you but a lot of those rumors spread by idiots with loose lips."

"Are they?"

She glared at him making him look slightly uncomfortable.

"What purpose do you serve Red then?" Blanche asked, "You would seem the type to only be the bodyguard unless I'm wrong."

Akairo looked bored, "Whatever you think... It's all going to be wrong. I also don't appreciate you messing with my woman's head. I can kill them so easily. I can tell you I am not one to mess with... even on one of my good days."

"I somewhat believe that."

Her eyes flashed dangerously.

"Your woman seems the type to sway a lot easier than you. I wonder why that is? Or did you just attach yourself to Red because he was the only one who was nice to you?"

Calm down. Calm down... You made it this far. You will be fine. You have to calm down before everything goes black and red. Calm down... One... two... three...

Akairo exhaled slowly.

"Blanche, you can't trick me into getting angry. Turn around and leave town now. None of us have time for your bullshit."

"I don't believe that. You and Scarlet seem like the type who live for life threatening excitement."

Akairo sheathed her swords and sighed.

"Do I bore you?"

She brushed her hair out of her face.

"We keep the peace to keep Grimm away. Once problems arise, Grimm will come. I can't keep my family, friends, lovers or my son safe with those creatures crawling around. Once you start bringing your problems, it creates more problems. I may not be from here originally but I grew up here. This is my own and I will die before I allow it to go crashing down."

Blanche nodded. He knew she was sincere in her answer.

"Have a good night, Miss Taurus."

"One more night. This is unreal," Jazmin said staring at her bar.

Gavin and Garnet were cleaning everything up and it was about four in the morning. She had been drinking for three hours. She had become slightly depressed with the situation that had transpired lately. Gavin and Garnet took her up the stairs to her apartment and dropped her onto her couch.

"Let me get your heels," Gavin said with a smile but she was too drunk to care.

He placed them by the door.

Knock, knock

The twins looked at each and pulled out their handguns just in case.

"It's Blake."

They sighed and Garnet opened the door.

Blake was dressed in his adventurer's outfit and he was dirty.

"I have that paperwork she requested."

"Put it on the kitchen table. She kind of out of it now."

"I'm fucking fine. Hand it here. You two go home."

Garnet and Gavin looked at each other but did as she said. Blake handed her the folders. She could barely look at them but she made sure to act like she wasn't drunk. It was taking almost too much effort for her to care.

"Rough night?" he asked sitting down.

"Rough life..." she muttered.

"More than the issue we have now."

"More than that but if I'm lucky I'll die."

Blake looked shocked.

"Don't say that."

Jazmin gave him a weird look.

"I'm old. I have no one. This town will probably be destroyed or over run with Grimm in a few days. I'm exhausted."

Blake pulled his chair closer to her.

"Hey, you have to trust we will have this city standing whenever this is over."

Jazmin shook her head sluggishly.

"His eyes... They are like Akairo's. She had murderer eyes. His is filled with murderous intent. He doesn't care."

Blake looked conflicted.

"I've come across murderers most of my life. They all have the same look. There are people who kill people but then the kind who kill for fun. We are only lucky Akairo likes us all."

Blake watched as Jazmin sat up and grabbed the water bottle off of the table.

"I have hope things will be ok."

Jazmin leaned over and put the bottle back down.

"Yea."

"Well, I have to go."

Jazmin grabbed his arm. He looked shocked to see tears in her eyes.

"Please don't leave me alone. Please."

Blake gave her a weak smile, "I suppose I can spend the night. Let's get you changed. You don't want to mess up your nice suit."

He picked her up and carried her back to her bedroom.

Eden36- I didn't think of it at the time. Mostly because I figured if anyone came here it was because they read my Genderbend Rosewick story of Red and Scarlet and the alternate Akairo and Red. So if you haven't read that, it might give you a better idea. I do apologize though.

Also, just in case anyone forgot who was who!
