. . .

That was anticlimactic.

I guess they don't want me running away. That's no problem, I wasn't planning on fleeing in the first place.

At least there are lights in here. Good, now I know that they are civilized at least.

I took the stairs down into what I guessed was the hotel's bas.e.m.e.nt.

Looking around the plain, grey, narrow hallway that I entered into, I saw many identical doors lining the walls and one double door at the end of the hallway. I tried opening a random door and found it locked. So they want me to go through the ones at the end.....

I leisurely headed towards the very foreboding doors with my headphones hanging around my neck.

Time to meet this incredibly rude person who sends texts after midnight. I'll give him a good smack for waking me up.

I pushed open the doors and walked through with no hesitation.

Bright lights s.h.i.+ned on my face causing me to squint and adjust to the sudden change of lighting. Ugh, I keep forgetting to bring sungla.s.ses wherever I go.

"Oh look who finally showed up! It's Miss. Yuri. Nice to have you." A man's voice resounded. "How was your trip?"

I blinked a few times before my vision finally returned. Scanning the room which was around the size of my house in Sapphire, I saw a man sitting on a couch in the middle of the room with his legs up on a gla.s.s table in a very arrogant manner and his arms swung behind the backrest. He had bright red hair done in a spikey hairstyle, sungla.s.ses (tsk) pushed up in his hair and a capital 'B' tattooed on his right cheekbone. Looks like a rich kid.

I don't like him already. I looked around for a place to sit down.

"What, not gonna answer me? Are you simply ignoring me or are you already charmed by my handsomeness?" He said in an irritating voice.

"I'm ignoring you. You aren't even going to give your guest a place to sit or something to drink? I'm still too young to drive you know, I had to bike all the way here."

His two subordinates who were standing behind the couch tensed at my words. The man simply laughed at what I said and beckoned for them to bring over a chair. I sat down and matched his arrogant posture by leaning back and propping one foot on the edge of the seat. He simply observed me with interest and didn't say anything. I looked around a bit more. If he wasn't going to talk then I won't either.

The room was furnished extremely lavishly compared to the plain hallway. The floor was covered by a red carpet, (Why it was red, I don't want to know.) an office chair and desk was behind the coach with bookshelves lining the walls. A few computers were on and lined up on the desk, probably connected to the security system. I recognized a few book t.i.tles based on criminal psychology and martial arts on the shelves. How ironic. Finis.h.i.+ng my observation, I turned to the man who was just silently sitting very comfortably on his leather couch.

"How long are you going to keep staring?" I asked while glaring at him.

"You're just so interesting I couldn't help it. Anybody tell you that you're a real looker?" He chucked. "You're not even gonna ask why I called you here? Not gonna ask about me either?"

I placed my hand under my chin and propped my elbow up on the chair arm.

"I don't particularly care, I just want to sleep. I still have school tomorrow you know. I would prefer it if you just finished things up quickly. I don't enjoy keeping such an arrogant person company at all."

His subordinates drew their guns and angrily pointed them at me.

"Be quiet! A good for nothing girl like you-! Rude! You have no right to speak in such a manner."

Um, excuse me? You guys are the ones being rude. Pointing a gun at me for no reason, their att.i.tudes really suck.

The man frowned and finally sat up properly. A light shone within his pitch-black eyes.

I recognized that light, it was the look of a scheming rat.

"Yuri Mizuki. You are in no position to act arrogant. I would look around if I were you and open your eyes. This is my territory, you can't escape. If you don't act obediently then I'm afraid you won't end up nicely."

Oh yikes. We're already heading towards threats.

"Huh. You're that mad just cause I didn't ask you the questions you expected? What, did I ruin your script or something?" I joked.

A gunshot sounded and a smoking hole appeared in the carpet in front of my chair. I glanced towards the subordinate who had shot.

"Fingers feeling twitchy huh. That's a dangerous weapon you got there."

The man stood up and walked towards me.

"You seriously don't get it, do you. Your arrogance will be the end of you."

Tch, looking down on me just cause I'm a girl. That's gonna be the end of you.

"Fine. What did you call me here for?" I asked while looking up at his standing figure.

"Finally getting to the point..."

Hey, you're the one who didn't just tell me directly.

"Due to certain circ.u.mstances.....you're gonna be mine."

. . .

"....My G.o.d... Did you call me here at 2 in the morning just for a confession? You seriously need to learn to have some better timing. I was asleep and dreaming when you woke me up."

I scowled at him in annoyance. I'm not playing along with this anymore. I've never even met this creepy dude before. Aiming after a high schooler, does he have no morals?

I stood up and turned towards the door.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." The man's voice said smugly. He clapped his hands loudly and the door burst open. A bunch of men in black all charged into the room and block the exit. I looked over my shoulder at the man with an eyebrow raised.

So this was how he wanted to do things huh. Forcing someone to accept your terms is an amateurish move. Everyone knows that even a cornered rabbit will fight back.

I exhaled slowly before putting on my headphones, blocking out all sound with my music. The man seemed to be saying something but I just ignored him. I can't believe I wasted my time dealing with this guy.

I continued to head towards the blockade of men with my hands in my pockets. The man behind me probably finally noticed I wasn't listening to him, his face flushed and he signaled for the people to attack.

They charged at me in an unorganized way like zombies from a horror film. The first one who reached me thew out a punch.

.....too predictable. I'm starting to think that these are just some street thugs with a fancy office.

With one counter, I knocked him unconscious and kick him towards his comrades. The room froze and fell into silence. I continued walking to the door but before I could leave the room my a chill went down my spine and I quickly tilted my head to the side. A bullet hit my headphones, causing them to be blown off my head and crash to the ground in pieces.

I frowned, that was the last straw.

I got those headphones as a present from my dad! Tsk. I was planning on just leaving, but now I'm itching to vent my rage.

I turned around and saw the man gloating with a smoking pistol in his hand.

"You scared now missy?! Don't move or else I'll blow your head off, I missed that one on purpose!"

Miss on purpose? Hah, stop being delusional.

I tied my hair up into a ponytail and readied my stance. Around 20 people in the room.

Alright, I'm taking you all down. Then I'm definitely giving that guy a piece of my mind.
