"And you said that I couldn't fight" he smirked. Grabbing another body, he threw it at the bunch of bodies piling up in the alley. Brushing himself off, he glared at his friend and smiled, "I'm pretty proud of myself". Tightening his glove, he rolled his eyes, "Yeah, yeah. I took out, five of them, and how many did you take out? I think one. And I helped you, Butch" He gave him a playful smirk, "isn't that right?" Butch adjusted his jacket, and buttoned it up halfway up his body, "Fine, ruin my fun. I'll ruin yours by messing around with your babies, V"

They walked to the black escalade, V taking the driver's seat. He cocked an eyebrow at Butch, "Babies? What'chu talking about?" he asked. Butch looked at his friend and smiled, "Y'know, your babies. Your computers" V gave a loud, good-hearted laugh, "They're my second babies. My first would be my girl" Butch's mouth nearly dropped, "YOUR GIRL?!" "Yeah, this girl right here", he said patting his steering wheel, "my escalade" Butch dropped his head, "Damn, don't freak me out like that. Gees, I thought you had a mate or something" V turned his head and cocked an eyebrow, "What's so scary about me having a mate, huh" Butch ran his fingers through his hair, a drop of sweat sliding down his forehead, "Uh, nothing" V just nodded and chuckled to himself, "Whatever you say cop". He started the engine, "How about we head over to Zero Sum for an hour?" Butch yelped, "YEAH! WHOO! BRING ON THE DRINKS"

Then a gun was shot. A scream was heard. And his vision faded into the black…

"Vishous. I don't know how to tell you…but Butch is in critical condition. I don't know if…he'll live" Havers hung his head low, avoiding V's sight. Vishous' hands turned into a fist and grabbed Haver's the collar on his shirt, "Dammit, you're a doctor for crying out loud! Fix him!" he bellowed. Havers stared at V, sweat dropping from his forehead, "I will try my best" "No, you WILL fix him" Vishous just realized what he was doing, and let him go, "Sorry" he said gruffly. He grabbed his jacket and walked to the door, "I need some air"

The scene ran in V's mind over and over again. It wouldn't stop. He kept his gaze on the road. It was about a day ago when the incident happened. He shook his head, and cursed about three times. Butch was in the infirmary right now. Probably got wires and needles in him. He shivered slightly at the thought. He gripped on the steering wheel harder, and blasted the radio, hard-core rap breaking through the speakers. Music always blew the steam off…but right now, it wasn't working that well. Fury started to rush through his blood as he parked his car.

He barged into the bar, his hands already in fists. He stopped in the middle of the bar, and out of no where, he screamed on the top of his lungs, and punched the wall with all his might. The room got silent. All eyes were on him. He looked at the people, his eyes wide with madness, "STOP STARING" he yelled. He trolled over to a seat in the corner of the bar.

The bartenders looked at each other, not daring to approach the man. Then one of them sighed, "C'mon, he's not that bad…err…I hope" She grabbed a towel and dried off her hands. "I'll take his order" she said. Then a hand appeared on her shoulder, "It's your funeral" the other bartender said. She rolled her eyes, and brushed off his grip, "Yeah, yeah, whatever you say"

She walked over to him, taking a strand of hair and placing it behind her ear. She was hesitant at first, but confident at the same time. "Hi. So, can I get you anything?" she smiled. The man looked at her, gripping on his wrist with the bleeding hand, "Leave me alone!" he barked. The woman jerked, stepping back a bit, "I'm sorry" she said softly. His diamond eyes softened a bit, "…No, don't be sorry" he grunted, "It's not your fault". A warm smile appeared on her face, "It's ok. Umn, can I get you anything?" "Bottle of Gray Goose" his hand was killing him, "…please" he added. The woman left him, coming back with a bottle of Gray Goose, handing it to him.

"I'm Aimee, but you can call me Leon" she said. His head lifted up, "V" he said. Leon looked at his bleeding fist, "…I'll be back" She left coming back with some bandages, "Here, let me help you" "I don't need your help" he said gruffly. He bared his fangs at her. Shaking her head, she opened her mouth to expose her fangs, "Don't try to scare me just because you're a vampire. Hunny, you came across a bar that only holds vampires" V looked around, and she was right. He was too caught up in his personal life that he didn't notice. "That doesn't make a difference. I. Don't. Want. Your. Help"

"Fine, you don't want it. But you need it. Don't be so stubborn" she said, placing a hand on his wrist. He pulled back, "If you don't want to lose your hand, I suggest you don't touch me again, female". She stepped back, and handed him the bandages, "Fine. But you have to bandage your fist" He glared at her, and took the bandages, wrapping his hand. She smiled at him when he gave her back the bandages, "See, now that wasn't so hard was it" He rolled his eyes, and took a gulp of his Gray Goose. Sighing she pulled her hair back, "Well, if you need anything, just give me a call, ok?" V looked up to her, and nodded his head.

She walked back, to find her friends wide-eyed. "So, what did he say?!" one asked curiously. She shrugged, "Eh, nothing" They all laughed at her, "Nothing? Yeah, yeah, whatever you say Leon". She sighed, and then saw V's hand go up.

She walked up to him, "What, miss me already?" "No" he threw her a tip, "See you later" He walked to the door, but she went to him. She saw something in him. Sadness. "Hey, wait" He glared at her, "What" She rubbed her arm, "Umn, are you ok?" "Yeah, I'm fine, fabulous" She rolled her eyes, "You don't' have to be sarcastic with me, I was just asking" He placed a hand on her shoulder, "Show your kindness to someone who deserves it"

She became silent. She didn't know what to say. Biting her lip, she looked away from his diamond eyes. Something about him made her sad, for him. She wanted to help him, to comfort him, to be there for him. She didn't know why. She just did, and she just couldn't explain why. V chuckled wickedly, "You don't even know me, and already you have feelings for me?"

She crossed her arms. She didn't know that he could read minds, "Get over yourself" she mumbled. Why does she want to help me? I don't even know the girl! He said to himself. "Maybe because I care" she said. V smirked, "So, you can read minds too, eh?" "Yeah, you got a problem?" He chuckled, "I admire your straightforwardness, but you better be careful on what you say. Some people aren't as nice as me" She stayed silent, but she looked straight in his eyes. She didn't see bitterness, or rudeness, but she saw that he was broken inside. He frowned. He read her mind. He nodded his head, "You have a good night". He opened the door, looking back at her again, and then finally shutting it.
