Sakura had no idea what today would hold. She followed Husk wherever he needed her to go. Husk still had an arm around you the entire way. He was on high alert the entire day, not wanting to let you out of his sight, knowing Alastor wasn't going to be far away. But the day seemed to be relatively quiet overall, Husk didn't have much he needed to do for once and instead spent it by your side. An hour later as they were sipping bourbon and chatting amongst themselves she looked over and saw a sight that made her blood boil. There was Valentino walking with a young pink spider, probably at least 19 as she was...This was her first time seeing Angel Dust. He had a collar around his neck attached to to a chain. She didn't want Val to see her but she felt her anger rising. Both Husk and Alastor immediately noticed your blood boiling at the sight of Valentino. Husk tensed up, not wanting that damn pornstar to even be close to you. Alastor's smile tightened for a moment as he spoke up.

"Easy there doll, the last thing any of us need is for a scene to be made because of that prick…"

The Hell Cat could feel her desire to help Angel Dust growing. She hoped that she could just stay put. Husk's arm around you tightened when he saw how your desire to help Angel was growing. He didn't want that damn pimp even get within 100 feet of you and as if he was reading your mind, Alastor spoke up.

"Doll, don't even think about it dear, you're staying put~"

Her ears picked up as she heard one of her songs come on. So many thoughts went through her mind, the ones most prevailing being her death and the fears of Angel potentially losing his life. So, she got up and walked over there and grabbed the chain and looked over at Valentino. "Release him.." She said with such darkness in her words.

Husk's eyes widened at your sudden action, cursing under his breath that you would be this stupid. Valentino was shocked, he didn't expect someone else to interfere and he didn't expect a small hell cat like you to be so bold.

"And who the hell do you think you are, pussy cat?"

He sneered as he spoke, yanking on Angel's chain as a warning.

Her claws started to glow and she shattered the chain. She took Angel's hand and started running with him "Keep up Angel! I'm taking you somewhere where you will be safe! As long as I can..." Angel stumbled for a moment, clearly caught off guard by you breaking the chain and taking his hand in your own. He stumbled to follow after you as you started to run. He knew Valentino would be hot on your heels, he was pissed that Angel had been taken.

"Where the hell are we going?!"

Angel followed as fast as he could, looking like a bit of a hot mess but he followed as you ran. Valentino followed, pissed that you dared to take Angel away. He's shouting from behind.

"GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE DAMMIT!"

Soon she found her inner strength and picked up Angel and continued to run. Out into the streets and never once faltering.

Angel was utterly surprised by you actually picking him up and running like that. He was also surprised when you never once halted or faltered in your run, despite his weight. He held on, not wanting to be caught by Valentino.

"How are you even running this fast?!"

"The will to help you survive...My spirit still has fight in it despite all the pain I had felt in my life..."

Angel was still shocked at how fast you were running, he would have never pegged you for someone who had the endurance to run like this. He spoke in between breaths as you ran, still clinging to you.

"It's like you're some hell cat that just had a shot of adrenaline!"

The cat saw the hotel coming into sight and sighed as she knew they had lost Valentino "Good...Looks like we will not be facing his bullets after all.."

Angel breathed a sigh of relief as well when he saw the hotel in sight. He was glad to had gotten away from Valentino, that bastard was a goddamn creep. He spoke, still in a bit stunned state due to them running, his eyes on the hotel.

"I thought we were goners for a second back there, especially with the way that prick was chasing us."

She slowed down and walked into the lobby of the hotel..She gently put him on his feet and called out "Excuse me! I have an abuse victim who needs a place to stay!"

Angel was still slightly exhausted, but he managed to get back on his feet and steady himself as you set him down. He heard you call out and was about to say something when Charlie emerged from around the corner. Her eyes widened slightly at the sight of Angel looking a disheveled mess and her expression hardened at seeing your expression, you seemed desperate. "What happened?"

Her heart was racing and she knew she had to calm down or risk health issues "I was at the casino with my partner and a friend...I saw Valentino walking through with him on a chain...I broke him free and we managed to get away from Val..I need you to keep him here until I know for sure he is safe..."

Charlie had to process that information for a moment, her eyes hardening even more at the mention of Valentino, and the fact Angel was being kept on a goddamn chain. She looked over at Angel for a moment before nodding her head and saying in a firm tone.

"He's safe here… what's going on that caused you to get involved in the first place?"

"I know what it is like to be in a terrible situation...I didn't want him to die..."

Charlie's expression softened at your words, her eyes locked on you. It was clear you related to Angel's situation to some degree. She spoke again, her tone losing the firmness in it.

"You've experienced something similar, haven't you?"

"Yeah...Then depression finished the job." She turned around, knowing she had to go back to Husk and Alastor. She had no idea what would happen later that day.. "Take care of him...I need to get back.."

Charlie nodded and her eyes held concern for you as she replied, worried she would see a repeat of something horrific.

"Be careful on your way back.. I have a feeling things aren't going to be calm when you get there…"

"Yeah...I have that feeling as well.."

Charlie saw the unease you had on your face, and she sighed as she spoke again.

"You're worried about something, aren't you?"

She smiled "Not really...Seeing Valentino in a rage brings me joy..Because I know I came out on top and saved a life..."

An hour later after she had stayed a bit to talk and hand off the kitten for safe keeping, she returned to where Husk and Alastor were. She looked at them as she walked over to them. "Angel is safe now..."

Both Alastor and Husk were waiting for you to return, and both were anxious about the whole situation. Husk was the first one to notice you, he looked over the second you arrived and a sigh of relief escaped him.

"Bout time you got back, doll. You had us worried half to death.."

"Sorry about that but I had to do it...Where is that prick now?"

Husk didn't want to admit just how worried he had been. Seeing you in danger like that had done a number on his heart, but he still kept his usual exterior on. He spoke, his arms crossing over his chest as he pointed a thumb in the direction Valentino likely was.

"He's over there, yelling and ranting. Pretty much how you'd expect that prick to be."

She looked over to Val but said nothing.

Alastor and Husk both could tell you were restraining yourself from saying anything over to Valentino. Alastor had a smirk present on his face as he spoke, taking enjoyment in Valentino's rage. He leaned over towards you a bit, clearly amused by the idea of messing with Valentino further. "You look like you want to say something to him~"

"He's not worth it...I saved Angel and that's all I really need to feel good.."

Husk couldn't help the chuckle that escaped him at your words, he agreed, Valentino really wasn't worth your time. Alastor, on the other hand, was enjoying this. He turned to look over at Valentino, eyeing him up and down before speaking, a sly smirk on his face.

"He's really rather pissed, isn't he doll?"

She smiled "If I didn't know any better, I would say that you are trying to encourage me to say something to him."

Alastor chuckled softly, his eyes staying glued to Valentino. He didn't bother to deny that he wanted to see you get under Valentino's skin.

"Maybe I am, dear. You broke his favorite toy away from him after all~"

Sakura could not resist. She called out to Valentino "Hey Val? I guess this makes me the top and you the bottom..Now, beg your master for forgiveness...Not that you deserve it for what a piece of trash you are..."

That made Valentino's eye twitch and a vein bulge in his forehead. Alastor's grin spread even wider as he took in your words and Valentino's reaction. Husk stifled a scoff. Valentino whipped his head towards you, his eyes narrowing in anger. He spoke, his voice deep and filled with anger.

"Excuse me, you filthy hell cat? Did you just say I'm a bottom?!"

She looked over at Val "Heh...Yeah, I did..."

Valentino's already short temper was being pushed to his limits. The way you spoke with a sense of power towards him set him off big time, and he snapped.

"Watch your damn tongue, you stupid little whore!"

She purred "Keep talking dirty to me Val..."

She said in a mocking tone.

Valentino's face contorted with anger, his temper snapping from your words. He was being taunted by a lowly, hell cat. It took a lot for him to not lose his cool completely.

"Knock it off, you stupid little pussy cat! You're playing a dangerous game and you're gonna get burned!"

She looked over to Vox who looked absolutely exhausted having to deal with Val. She smiled softly "Hey Vox?...Wanna come over here and have a drink with me?"

ox had been standing by the whole time, watching the whole thing unfold. He had to admit that seeing Valentino being humbled and mocked like this was incredibly amusing to him. He looked over and was slightly taken off guard by you asking that, but a sigh of relief escaped him at the much needed break you offered.

"Hell yes, anything to get away from him for a few minutes."

She smiled and bought him a round of his favorite bourbon. The cat enjoyed some drinks with Vox, Husk, and Alastor not knowing that possession of her soul would be changing owners soon.

Husk drank his share of alcohol, enjoying having you with them. Alastor couldn't help but make a few small jokes about Valentino and the situation, taking jabs where he could. Throughout the small 'party' the three of them had with you, Alastor noted Valentino watching from afar, not looking happy at all. The smug bastard was definitely planning something.

Alastor noticed you come over and sit down next to him, he smirked as he heard you purr, you sounded like a cute little kitty. He put his arm on the back of your chair, having you very close to him as he spoke.

"And what might a pretty little hell cat like you want with me?~"
