"Oh for fuck sakes!" Shiki shouted as she struggled with the woman. "You know there's a thin line between revenge and insanity right?!"
"Shut-up!" Snapped her captor.
"Screw you Bitch!" Shiki shouted as she elbowed the woman in the gut hard. A gunshot went off and Shiki gasped in pain, clutching her shoulder and falling to the ground, groaning. One agent shoved the woman to the ground and two others followed, knocking the gun out of her hand and cuffing her hands behind her back.
"Shiki!" Tamaki shouted running to her.
"So be honest was this really what you had in mind as you were thinking about me when you book this activity?!" Shiki shouted before groaning in pain.
"Try not to move around too much until we can get the bullet out," said Kyoya. Shiki wasn't sure if she was groaning in pain or annoyance.
"Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck..." Her shoulder felt like it was on fire, the burning was terrible and reminded her a little bit of getting whipped with the whip that had been imbedded with broken glass by Seiko not terribly long ago but with more blood, way more blood. Kyoya took off his jacket and applied pressure to the wound.
"Mori's going to move you to one of-"
"Stop telling me whatever you're going to do and just do it!" she grunted out.
Mori picked her up and carried her to one of the cars and Shiki could feel the pain starting to go away a little bit. Her shoulder felt wet and the further they drove the more cold she started to feel. Her ears were ringing her eyes felt heavy. She didn't realize she'd closed them until she felt one of the twins shaking her. She felt the pain coming back and saw peoples mouth's moving. She could just barely hear what they were saying, but she didn't care what it was. Someone had secured Kyoya's jacket to her arm with some gauze tape. She closed her eyes to make the pain go away again.
The next time she woke up she was lying in a bed.
"Go skydiving they said... It'll be fun, they said..." She muttered her first thoughts out loud before she had even opened her eyes. When she did, Shiki found herself in a hospital room with a bandaged arm, feeling grumpy. "This is the last time I listen to those losers!" She muttered.
"Hey Shiki?" she suddenly heard Haruhi say. Shiki looked over and realized Haruhi was coming in alone.
"How did you manage to sneak away from the mob squad?" Shiki asked.
"Mob squad?" She asked
"God don't you know any culture?" Shiki asked, "Anyway how did you sneak away?"
"Very carefully," said Haruhi, "I just wanted to check in on you alone if only for a moment."
"Oh god I knew it, you're a lesbian aren't you?" Shiki joked.
Haruhi smiled. "You've been in here for over a day now, the Host Club actually just left from visiting you since it's a school day but I just suddenly got a hunch that I needed to come back by myself. I probably shouldn't stay too long because they'd get suspicious. I didn't think you'd want a bunch of commotion after you first woke up, however they don't seem to want to listen to any of my suggestions."
"I think you're the smartest one in the bunch. Four eyes acts like a know it all but you're still smarter in some ways than him." Shiki said with a yawn, moving to stretch her arm but gasped in surprise, gritting her teeth.
"I'm sorry I should've told you I didn't think you'd try to move it. Don't move your arm too much because the bullet hit a bone and you've fractured it. The bone shattered and broke into pieces when it hit, and they removed them and put screws to reattach them in hopes that they would fuse back together. That's going to be sore for a while too aside from your muscle."
"That would've been nice to know before I moved it" She breathed, her eyes squinted shut. "Damn I can't catch a break, now how am I supposed to practice MMA and weight lifting with a broken arm? I guess I'll just exercise everything but this arm." She heard Haruhi laugh.
"Hey what's so funny?!"
"You barely woke up from being in the hospital for almost two days after getting shot and you're already trying to jump back into your normal routine. You really have a lot of determination." She complimented.
"Yeah well if I didn't prepare myself something bad might happen like getting shot in the shoulder." Shiki said dismissively
"You know, I hate to say this but maybe you should look for a change in venue, " Haruhi said sitting down next to Shiki.
"What?" Shiki asked.
"Well it might do you some good, go somewhere where you can unwind," said Haruhi.
"Yeah turn tale and run, that's so me," said Shiki.
"Well now there's a difference between running away and trying to help with your health." said Haruhi.
"I take back what I said about you being smarter than four eyes." said Shiki.
"We agree with your friend."
The two girls looked up to see two men standing in the doorway.
"CIA Agent Blanchet and Agent Heinreich" said the taller of the two men, showing her their IDs and taking a seat.
"We know some about you already, and you're good but you can't afford to press your luck any further. The Black Spiders are more dangerous than what you already know first handedly and after reviewing the situation we firmly believe that you and your family need to consider being admitted into the eye witness protection program until we can gain control of the situation."
Shiki gave the officers a sneer. "I've lived on the streets, I've dealt with scum worse than them. Move my family, but I'm not running away!" she declared.
"Shiki, try to be resonable," Haruhi tried to point out. "As far as I know none of the guys told anyone about the skydiving but they managed to get someone in as an instructor to try to kill you or kidnap you. In fact, now that I think about it, how did you guys know one of the instructors was a member of the Black Spiders?"
"We didn't, but when we heard about plans for skydiving we knew that it was too great of a risk for someone who was wanted dead if the black spiders were to find out the opportunity would be inviting." Heinreich explained. "We thought somebody might be in the area trying to shoot you down as you jumped out, tampered with the equipment, anything really. You might be surprised at some of the creativity they'll use in executing murder."
"As for you living on the streets, we understand that you're tough. You'd have to be to go through what you have, and with some of the unlikeliness of events that you've already encountered I'm sure there's things off the record we're not yet informed of as well. It's not a matter of running away, it's a matter of making the best choice from the options you have. Why risk your life and get killed, striking great grief into your family and friends if there's a potential to avoid it?" Blanchet attempted to reason. "It would be a much more, quite frankly stupid, decision to deliberately put yourself and your family in harm's way when we could offer you help. I strongly doubt your family would go into protection without you."
"Well sucks to be them then," said Shiki.
"Well Shiki, hang on a second," Haruhi spoke up, "look at it this way. You go into hiding you'll be away from the hosts for a while."
Shiki looked at her, "Nice try, not going to work."
"We can't separate you from your guardian unless they consent." Blanchet told her. "So them going to safety and you not isn't an option. It's a two package deal."
"Well fuck the package, I'm not signing for it;" said Shiki, "I'll get myself emancipated if I have to!"
"That's also not possible without parental consent." Blanchet told her. "Are you honestly willing to subject your family to pay so great of a price resulting as consequence of your stubbornness?"
"Is that all you think I am? Some stupid kid with an anger management problem? I'm not running away because I refuse to live my life on someone else's terms and I will not be anyone's puppet or dance to anyone's tune!"
"I believe you have two younger sisters than you and the youngest was taken hostage, correct? What if they had just killed her off right then and there? The more desperate they are the more extreme they'll be willing to go. If they get ahold of someone in your family again, they might not be so lucky."
Shiki balled up her hands into fists, feeling exasperated and trapped.
"I hate my life!" Shiki finally admitted. "How soon do I have to leave?"
