Kyandi: Welcome back, everyone!

Rory: You enjoy my torment, don't you?

Kyandi: Not at all, but it does further the plot.

Rory: I hate your plot.

Kyandi: I would too. With that said, I will give a trigger warning. It's not overly detailed, but there is a bit of touching without consent.

Rory: Don't worry...I'll get the guy back.

Kyandi: Indeed you will. I offer this trigger warning though because I in no way condone this kind of behavior.

Rory: Frankly, she would react the same way as me.

Kyandi: And I have. That crap doesn't fly with me.

Rory: And yet, here I am.

Kyandi: As I said...plot. That aside, everyone, please enjoy and review.

Rory: Kyandi-sama does not own Tokyo Revengers.

Chapter 6 In the Grasp of the Enemy

"Hey, girl, wake up."

Rory snapped her teeth against an outraged scream when cold water was dumped on her head. She had lost track of time since she had arrived at the run down, smoke filled arcade she was currently in. Before the unneeded splash of water, all she had been aware of was the tight duct tape keeping her hands firmly behind her back. Pain throbbed from her chaffed wrists as well as from her thigh and the various bruises she'd received.

"Hey, asshole, I wasn't asleep!" Rory lifted her head with an annoyed scowl, only to find that while she had been spacing out, Baji had arrived with his former vice-captain in tow. "Chifuyu?"

"Rory...what are you doing here?!" Chifuyu turned to question Baji and met the knuckles of Baji's fists.

Rory jolted forward, trying to rise to her feet, but Hanma grabbed her hair, yanking to pull her back. She landed roughly at Hanma's feet, the boy grabbing her chin to hold her head still. "Don't close your eyes now. You don't want to miss this."

Rory ground her teeth as she was forced to watch Baji beat the crap out of Chifuyu. She tried to pull free of Hanma's grip, but he held her still, chuckling as he watched. Baji only stopped when Chifuyu's face was a bloody mess. Leaving Chifuyu laying there, Baji got to his feet.

"Well? Is this good enough for you? Hanma." Baji turned to look at Hanma, pulling his hair from its tie. "For my initiation into Valhalla?"

Hanma grinned, Chome munching on chips as he remarked. "You're a real bastard. He was with you for a long time, right?"

"I'm surprised you went this far," Chonbo added.

"Shit, man...I didn't come here for a damn lecture," Baji replied.

Hanma released Rory, pushing her aside as he rose to his feet. "Kazutora!"

"Yeah?"

Rory's eyes went to the boy Hanma called to, her eyes widening when she saw who was behind him. "Takemichi?"

Takemichi's eyes landed on her, growing wide as he took in her condition. "Rory! Mikey's been looking for you!"

"Yeah? Well, he ain't doin' a great job of it!" Rory retorted.

"She's just been hanging out with us. We'll keep each other company until our showdown," Hanma remarked, approaching Takemichi. "So, you're Hanagaki? Step forward!"

Dread filled him as he did as told, Baji's eyes fixing on him. "It's you from before...You came here to be kill, or what?"

Takemichi swallowed hard, stepping forward as Hanma returned to the ledge where he had left Rory. Once he was in place, Chonbo called out. "We will now summon a witness!"

"One of Toman's founding members,t he first division captain, Baji Keisuke. He claims he wants to abandon Toman and enter the ranks of Valhalla." Comments started at Hanma's declaration, many of his men remarking on how it was a bad idea. "Indeed! This is a very serious matter! Enlisting Baji will aide us in crushing Toman. But there's just one problem remaining. He might be one of Toman's spies! So I had Kazutora prepare a witness for us! I will now call that witness forward! Hanagaki Takamichi."

"Y-yes?"

"At Toman's gathering, what did Baji say in front of everyone there?" Hanma questioned.

"Um...'I'm going to Valhalla. Toman is my enemy'. That's what he said," Takamichi answered.

Hanma stared at him for a moment before turning his gaze to Kazutora. "What do you think, Kazutora?"

"The test of faith and the witness summoning. Don't you think that's good enough? He'll be useful to fighting other gangs," Kazutora replied. "And he knows what went on in Toman while I was away at reform school. Even if Baji is a spy, it's still worth letting him into Valhalla. Right, Baji?" Kazutora glanced at a silent Baji. "We will crush Toman. And then...we'll kill Mikey!"

"Yeah." Baji bowed to Kazutora. "I'll help you with that, Kazutora."

"Alright." Hanma grinned widely. "From this day forward, Baji Keisuke is a member of Valhalla!"

Cheers rose only being drowned out by Takamichi. "Wait a minute! Baji, you helped found Toman alongside Mikey and the rest, didn't you?! Why are you betraying him!?"

"Just because I'm a founding member mean I can't betray Toman? What a joke. That guy's one of the founders, too." Baji gestured to Kazutora. "Kazutora resented Toman. I can never forget."

Rory was surprised by the story Baji told them then. He told them of the founding of Toman and how Kazutora was arrested when he and Baji broke into a bike shop to steal a bike for Mikey's birthday and everything went south, ending with Kazutora killing the shop owner when he found them. That owner...had been Mikey's older brother. When he finished, Hanma seemed completely convinced.

"Nice, Baji. In that case, I'll be more than happy to have you aboard. Here. It's Valhalla's uniform." Hanma tossed Baji a Valhalla jacket before sitting down. "Hanagaki! Give Mikey this message! A week from now, on October 31st. In the abandoned car lot. Valhalla verses Toman. Our final fight." Rory muttered a curse as Hanma grabbed her arm, yanking her into his lap. "Oh, and tell him I'll take good care of his angel until then."

Rory threw her head back, aiming for Hanma's face when his hand came to a rest on the inside of one of her thighs. He dodged the attempt with a chuckle. "I swear, Imma beat the shit outta you."

Hanma chuckled as he grabbed her chin to keep her head still. Takamichi didn't feel right leaving without her. "Rory?"

Rory's eyes landed on him. "I'll be fine. Go. Tell Mikey its going to take way more than a meal to make this up to me."

She wanted to pull away when Hanma laid his chin on her shoulder, but he held her still. "You heard her. Better get lost now."

Rory watched as Takemichi threw her one last glance and left. When he was gone, Hanma's hands wandered. It had her teeth grinding together when one hand slid up under the hem of her halter top. She squirmed, swinging her head back only to miss his face against. He chuckled at her. "Hands off, asshole."

"We still got a week before your boyfriend gets you back. Let's have some fun," Hanma remarked.

"How about no? And how many times do I have to tell you that he's not my boyfriend? I hardly know him!"

"Oh?" Hanma's hand skimmed over her stomach, his skin cold against hers. "Then why does he constantly have eyes on you?"

"Uh, probably because I have a hot ass?" No one could ever accuse her of being too modest. "Just because you can't get it up for anything less than a death wish - "

Rory's head was jerked back sharply when Hanma took a fist full of her hair into his hand and yanked. The fingers of his other hand lightly traced just under the curve of her breasts. "You were saying?"

"I stand by what I said, dickless," she hissed.

Hanma would give it to her for never bending to the will of others. It made her all the more entertaining the more she denied him. He could see why Mikey liked her so much. Just to see how she would react, his hand moved higher, finally cupping her breast. He felt her draw in a deep breath, trying to control the urge to scream. "Keep up the attitude and I might grow bored enough to have my way with you. You'd be up a creek without a paddle then."

Rory growled when his teeth sank into her shoulder then. "Ugh! And you're going to be vulture food when this is all said and done! Tell me, which one of us gets the shorter end of that stick?"

She felt as well as heard Hanma's chuckle, his fingers kneading the breast he currently held. She was painfully aware of the eyes on them, mortification making her anger rise higher by the second. "You say whatever you want, don't you? No fear."

Rory scoffed. "I wouldn't give you the satisfaction. If that's what you're looking for, you can go fuck yourself. I'm sure you and your hand are really good friends."

A half restrained snort came from a nearby boy, his friend elbowing him harshly in the gut. Hanma ignored it, tongue laving over the bite mark he had left on her. "Why are you with Mikey?"

"I'm not with him!" Hanma pulled his head to the side when she thrashed in his hold. "He just finds it funny to make my life needlessly more difficult. If you're looking for a girl Mikey loves, you got the wrong one. He only calls me Angel because I refused to give him my name and I work at a place called Heaven's Door."

"If so, then...be mine." Rory pulled against his grip on her hair when he licked a trail up to her ear. "I would never let another guy get his hands on you. Couldn't make any promises about my hands, though."

A huff left Rory when his groping increased. "Not a chance, you two bit pain in the ass!"

She felt his lips spread in a grin against her neck. "Then I could just take you as mine."

The world tipped as he suddenly shoved her out of his lap and onto her back. When he moved to hover over her, hands reaching for his belt, Rory shoved a foot in his face, cracking his nose and pushing him back. With a little distance between them and him briefly blinded, she swung the other foot up with as much force as possible, slamming her heel into his chin. She grinned in satisfaction when she saw his teeth clamp close on his tongue, blood pouring from his mouth.

\In the next second, before she could follow up the kick, Baji grabbed her by the collar, yanking her away from Hanma as Chome checked on him. Rory fought against Baji's grip as he wrapped an around her neck to keep her still. Hanma pressed a hand to his mouth, but the guy was laughing.

It made Rory vibrate with rage. "Ya sick, son of a bitch! Like I would ever let someone like you have his way with me! Try it again and I'll rip your jugular out with my teeth."

Hanma let loose a crazed laugh, grin displaying bloodied teeth. "I can see why Mikey like you now. I'm gonna have fun breaking you."

"In your wettest dreams, you dumb fuck!"

Hanma laughed as he walked away to rinse his mouth of the blood pooling there. Only when he was gone did Baji release her, dropping her on her butt. He looked down at her. "Do you have a death wish?"

"Apparently, but so does he. If I go, I'll take hi with me when they put me in the ground." Rory glared after Hanma.

"We cremate in Japan."

Rory's expression deadpanned, her eyes cutting up at Baji. "No one asked a smartass remark from the moronic peanut gallery."

Baji looked down at her, taking in the anger simmering behind her glasses. He could see the desire to kill there, her gaze chilly in its intensity. "You're definitely Mikey's type."

Rory's brows furrowed. "Excuse you?"

Baji jammed his hands in his pockets. "He's always had a thing for strong willed women. He finds them interesting. Knew it'd get him in trouble one day."

"From where I'm sittin', he ain't the one in trouble. I am."

"Keep Hanma entertained and you won't have to worry about much past touching," Baji replied.

He watched as her brow twitched, her eyes flashing behind her glasses. "How about I rearrange your nuts with my foot and we'll see how you feel about people touchin' what they shouldn't."

Baji chuckled, a grin on his face. "You couldn't even if you tri - "

Baji grunted, growling to fight off a moan when Rory suddenly leaned back on her butt and planted her foot right between his legs. He dropped to one knee, trying to keep it together while Rory's expression remained unamused. She met his glare as he raised his head, guys around them hissing in sympathy while Kazutora laughed.

"You...!"

Rory's eyes narrowed, her chin going up. "Don't test me, motherfucker. I'm not in a good mood and you're way past your get-out-of-the-shit-hole-free card."

Kazutora was still laughing when Hanma returned, eyes going from Baji to Rory. "What's going on?"

"She just gave Baji's nuts a rearranging," Kazutora replied.

Hanma snickered, walking over to reclaim his seat. A yank of Rory's bound arms and she found herself back in his lap. Rory muttered curses as he pulled her against his chest, chin dropping to her shoulder. His mouth pressed into her ear.

"You can rearrange mine any time."

Rory scoffed. "And have to willingly touch ya? Fuck that shit. Only when I can beat the livin' shit outta ya."

Hanma laughed, but Rory was serious. By the time this was said and done, she was going to kick his kick and enjoy every moment of it.
