A week had passed since the anyone had seen Kita. It was midnight and Nobu, Shin, Yasu and Hachi were out to have a couple of drinks. Yasu was dressed in his classic black suit with a red tie with black shoes. Nobu was in black jeans with a few tears in them with a blue t-shirt and black sneakers. Shin was dressed jeans and a white button up shirt and black converse sneakers. Hachi was finally able to get a babysitter to watch Satsuki so that she could join the boys. The group walked into a bar that had just recently opened up, figuring they would give it a try. The bar was called Warai.
They walked inside the brink bar. The floors were solid wood and the walls were painted a dark red with a single horizontal white line going along the center of the wall. There were several booths on either side of the room, each table was a dark colored wood and the booth seats were a dark red pleather. Across the room was a long bar with many bar stools traveling around it.
"This place seems nice." Hachi smiled. She had not been in a bar in such a long time, she hadn't been able to since she had little Satsuki to look after.
"Hey guys is that Kita?" Shin whispered looking at the booth that was in the back of the bar.
The group looked over to see Kita standing beside a booth. She was wearing a black mini skirt and a red long sleeved v-neck t-shirt. A pair of black heels pulled the outfit together.
"Hey it is." Hachi smiled and waved at Kita.
Kita only smiled a moment before looking back down at the men in the booth.
The group walked over and sat at the bar which allowed them to see who was in the booth. They saw all the members of Kirami. Kei had his short black well maintained hair. He was wearing torn jeans and a black vest over a white tank top which showed off his muscular frame. Sitting beside him was a man about the same age who had ear length blond hair and sharp blue eyes. He was wearing black cargo pants and a leather jacket. His name was Ryota Kato. Across from Ryota was a man with short spiked black hair and dark brown eyes. He was wearing black jeans with a black t-shirt. His name was Taro Tanaka. Lastly sitting beside Taro was a man with spiked black hair that had red tips. His eyes were a dark green shade. He was wearing black dress pants an a red button up shirt under a black jacket. His name was Toshi Yoshida.
"You know this band better than me, who's the jackass?" Shin whispered to Hachi.
Hachi knew that he must have meant Kei. "Kei is the one in the vest, the one Kita is standing beside." Hachi whispered back.
"Kei may I go use the restroom." Kita spoke softly.
"Go ahead." Kei spoke as he smacked her butt.
Kita turned and walked away towards the ladies room. Hachi quickly got up and walked to follow Kita, catching her in the small hallway where Kei and the others could not see, right before she walked in.
"Hey Kita!" Hachi rushed over to Kita.
"Oh hi Hachi." Kita smiled weakly. "How are you?"
"Good, how are you." Hachi smiled.
"I'm well." Kita peeked around the corner.
"You seem tense how are things with Kei?" Hachi asked.
"O-Oh they're great." Kita nervously itched her wrist which moved the sleeve enough for Hachi to see a dark purple bruise.
Hachi gasped "He's hurting you again isn't he!"
"Shh, he will hear you." Kita pleaded.
Nobu slowly walked over. "Hey what's going on?"
"Kei is still hurting her." Hachi grabbed Kita's hand and pulled up her sleeve revealing many hand shaped bruises.
Kita pulled her arm away and pulled down the sleeve. "You don't understand...he..."
"Kita don't make excuses for him." Nobu spoke softly.
Kita sighed "When I went back...he seemed so nice and sorry...but as soon as I hugged him he grabbed me and beat me, accusing me of cheating. He's been beating me every night and day since..."
"What a bastard..." Nobu grumbled.
"Hey baby I was getting worried about you." Kei smirked as he walked over and put an arm around Kita possessively.
"Oh hey Kei, I was just saying hi to Hachi and Nobu. Hachi was complimenting my heels and was wondering where I got them." Kita smiled, making up a reason why she was speaking to people he did not know.
"I bought them for her at the shop in the mall." Kei smirked. "Come on sexy, Ryota and I are gonna have a drinking contest and we need a referee." Kei guided Kita away from Nobu and Hachi, back to the table.
"What should we do?" Hachi looked at Nobu.
Nobu did not respond, he honestly did not know what to do without getting Kita hurt. In this moment they both felt helpless so they both returned to their seats at the bar.
The group peered over, careful to not look like they were staring. Kita was pouring shots of Sake for both Kei and Ryota, who had moved to sit across from Kei. Ryota and Kei kept shooting back the shots as she poured. Kita was trying to keep up and accidentally bumped Kei's shot glass, spilling it on his pants. Kei jumped out of the booth and began to wipe the Sake off his pants, an angry look on his face.
"Haha looks like I win by default." Ryota laughed.
"But it's getting late we should head to the club to pick up some ladies, so I guess we will see you two later, Kei we'll see you at the studio tomorrow." Toshi slowly got up with the other two guys.
"See you guys tomorrow." Kei grumbled as he continued to wipe the Sake off his pants.
The three band members left leaving Kei and Kita at the table.
Kei walked up close to Kita "You ruined these pants you bitch." Kei snapped. "Come on we are going home." Kei turned and began to walk.
Kita looked back at Nobu and the others before turning and following Kei out of the bar.
"He's going to hurt her again." Shin could tell by Kei's voice that he was angry.
"Come on, we should follow them." Nobu stood up and the others quickly rushed out of the bar to follow Kei and Kita.
