Chapter 7 is up, finally. I'm sorry about Chapter 6. The actions my typing portrayed went alittle too fast for what I had wanted, but bear with me for the time being.

I'm glad so many of you are reviewing. It makes me happy to see I have fans whom I don't even know. Thanx to you all!

A/N: As I'm making this up as I go, I'd like to see if I messed up somewhere in the plot. If I have, please e-mail me or tell me in a review.

Disclaimer: I will regretfully admit that I don't own Hands Off!, but the plot, however warped it is, is all mine.

Chapter 7

I didn't feel right leaving Kotarou in the state we were in at home. Especially since I didn't know when those guys would wake up, if they ever did. "Kotarou, get dressed," I said quietly. "We have to find who plays puppetmaster here. I can't leave you here alone. Something else might happen."

I think he could've puked again. Something in his face told me he might. A look must have shown on my own face because he shook his head saying, "I'm not upset with you. It's just, seeing what you did to those guys, knowing you could do it again..."

"What's wong with a little vengence? They hurt you and you seem to not appreciate what I did for you." I couldn't help but to recall how they had screamed for mercy and the cold hearted things I had done. "I don't like what I did anymore than you do, but yes, if torturing people is effective to get the job done, I will doanything." I smiled, "Plus, he was a bad kisser."

It didn't make him laugh. He just frowned and turned away with a slight blush on his cheeks. I sighed, "Kotarou..."

"It's okay. You did it for my sake. I don't care." The bitterness in his voice told me otherwise. "Just don't do it again, okay?"

I stared into those broken eyes and grinned. "Only if we're having a mass orgy." That made him smile.

We rode to the warehouse on my bike. Kotarou was shaking, either from the cold, or because he was scared. I was guessing on the latter. I gripped his hand as we walked inside. It was quiet, before I heard Kotarou yelp with surprise and dragged out of my hand. That did not bode well with me. Everything seemed to slow down. I reached for my gun in record time. I could feel the tension ease from my body, all my guards went down. My energy, the power that let me see the horrible past, trickled out from the little part of my body that held all of it. The man yelped in surprise as it washed over him in a cool rush. Distracted long enough for Kotarou to lean in to him and twist to break free. He jumped into my free arm as I treid pulling the power back inside me. I had learned that trick when I visited the coach that Kotarou liked so much. I pulled my guards back in time to see the man pull a gun and aim to aim it. I got there faster. I shot his arm as another body hit me from the side. I laid on my back with a woman straddling my waist. I didn't recognize her.

Kotarou grabbed her petite frame and slung her off of me. Who said the victims couldn't fight? "She's the one with the knives. She's the one who cut me up."

"So you like to play with knives, huh?"

"Oh, yes. And when I'm done with you, you'll be wishing you had me squirming below you, instead of cutting you up."

"The only one I want squirming beneath me is the one you did such a good job of mutilating. Your ass is dead."

Kotarou blushed a deep red, but otherwise shrugged of the comment. I thought he might.

She lunged at me, knives glittering in the little light from the street. It was a little awkward fighting a girl, even if she had a knife. Kotarou came out of nowhere jumping on her back, temporarily disabling her. I ahd one of those moments where everything slows down. I shot her, realizing the gun was still in my hand, and she went down. Blood pooled slowly around her and I didn't feel anything. Not disgust, not rage, nothing. I didn't feel sorry for killing her. I just did it. Kotarou was crying as I finished off the rest of my fanclub. What kindof fans were they anyway, trying to kill me off.

In the end, I burned the whole warehouse. It was kinda out towards nowhere so it took a while for the firetrucks to arrive and by then, the bodies were gone and there was nothing to link us and the warehouse. Little blessings I guess.

There's the end. Sorry guys, but that's all. It's short, I know. This was the first story I've ever posted on FFN and the first reviews I ever got came from this story. Thanx to you all who stuck with me. If you like, email me or review this chapand I will look over the stories you guys have and read those if I get the chance. Please review!
