We waited in the lobby the entire rest of the night. I had leaned on the side of the couch and stuck one of my ear phones in my ear as I listened to Pierrot. I was staring to doze off when Estuya sat beside me, Yuki standing with Jia and Tsubasa as they spoke. Ai'iro sat on the small couch in front of the three dons as Aya sat on the couch. I noticed Pretty Aya had dozed off, his beautiful caramel colored hair falling around his face as he slept soundly. Toki was watching Mikkie about to doze off as Mikkie was fighting off the sleep. Jun, Tai and Gabriel were standing by the luggage, Jun sitting down on the floor, Tai watching the door as Gabriel leaned against the door. I yawned, covering my mouth as I listened to Dramatic Neo Anniversary. I put my head down on the arm of the sofa yawning away as I started to sleep. I was only out for a few minutes...or at least it felt like a few minutes when I suddenly felt Estuya shoving me awake. I saw Aoki, Jiki and Akio had returned and everyone was getting their things together. Toki got up after Mikkie but then went back as he gently tapped Aya to wake him up.

"Aya, wake up."

Aya picked his head up, his hair laying flat still as Aoki then said,

"Go man, I got him."

Toki smirked as I said,

"I know you do."

I got up, grabbing my bag as I said,

"Akio, here's your stuff."

I handed him his bag as he said,

"Thanks."

Everyone gathered their things, Aoki grabbing his bag as well as Aya's as he helped him up to his feet and then picked him up completely. Aya complained it wasn't necessary but truth of the matter is, that everyone was rushing, almost running to get out and Aya could barely walk fast let alone run. We all got into the cars that were waiting for us outside, throwing in the luggage as Gabriel tossed me the keys to one of the cars. I caught them as I watched Jia, Toki and Mikkie getting into my car, everyone else filling up the other cars as Akio got in the passenger seat with me. I got in, started up the car and watched as the cars behind me started up, the lights turning on as I pulled out and went were Jia told me.

We drove on for a while as Jia sighed and said,

"We need to get out of here."

"Where to Jia?"

"For now, drive out of LA. We're headed to San Diego."

"Jia, that's more then a couple of hours away."

"I know. But we have to get out of here now."

I nodded as I kept on driving as fast as I could. We didn't stop until it was dawn. On the side of the highway we pulled over to stretch as Jia had to talk to everyone. He noticed Tsubasa was sound asleep in the back seat of the car he was in, resting on Ai'iro's shoulder. Jia went over and woke him, helping him out of the car as he then began to explain where they were going. We didn't move for a while, we just stretched and had a cigarette before we got back on the road again. After traveling for almost four, five hours, stopping to get gas, use the bathroom and getting something to eat, we finally got to San Diego. We checked into a hotel and after Akio took his shower I went in. We weren't called to do anything since we were laying low. Aoki came by our room later to get some money off Akio. Apparently he didn't want to break a fifty for some cigarettes. Akio gave him some change as I, out of curiosity said,

"How did things go?"

They both looked at me as Akio said,

"Jiki killed Alexandra."

"And the kid?"

Aoki lit a cigarette as he said,

"We dropped it off at the police station."

"You didn't kill it?"

"It's just a baby. If it doesn't know who it is and there's no one around to tell him then what harm can it do. Besides, be a waste of a bullet."

Akio nodded as he lit a cigarette himself and offered me one. Aoki then said,

"Thanks for the smoke. I need to get my own. I can't believe I ran out."

Akio laughed as he sat down and said,

"I'll see you later man."

He then left as I smoked. I yawned as I said,

"I'm so tired."

"Go to bed for a while man. I'll wake you if you're needed."

I thanked him, finishing up my cigarette and then laying down for a nap.

I slept soundly, dreaming I was back home, Miya beside me as we've been sleeping since the month I got back. I yawned, turning as I felt someone holding me in return. I parted my eyes a little as I felt a soft kiss on my mouth. By the time I opened my eyes I saw Toki leaning down, his hair tickling me. I woke up right away, reaching up to him shoving him back as I said,

"What are you doing!?"

"Taking advantage of a perfect situation."

"Get off!"

"That's the whole point."

He smirked as I said,

"Where's Akio?"

"Having dinner."

"Why aren't you?"

"I said I wasn't hungry but I checked to see if you were going to eat and suddenly I got hungry."

He leaned down again, kissing my neck as I started fighting with him, but he had my wrists in his hands and my legs were open and around him already. He grinded me softly as I gave an unintentional moan. He smirked as he said,

"This will be a lot easier and less painful for you if you just gave in."

"I don't want you!"

"I really couldn't care less."

I struggled still, moving around, trying to avoid him. He sat up again as he said,

"If you piss me off, I will make this hurt."

"Just...don't. Please don't."

He smirked.

"Ooo...he said please."

"Don't twist my words around!"

He leaned down, his mouth upon mine again as he kissed me, biting down softly on my bottom lip. I had to admit..he was a good kisser. I was tempted to give in, but I didn't want to...for some reason, I kept thinking that would be a bad idea. I moved my face away as I said,

"Stop it."

"You were enjoying it."

"That's not the point! Just stop it and get off me!"

I heard a dull ringing a moment later. I knew it wasn't my cell phone since it was on the night stand. He let go of my wrists as he went into his jean pocket and took out his cell phone.

"What?"

He was annoyed. I was grateful. He sighed as he rolled his eyes as he said,

"Damn Li I'm busy."

He looked down at me, his hand cupping my face, his thumb brushing over my lip. I was tempted to bite him as he smiled at me. He then said,

"Aka-chan? He's in bed."

He smirked as I gave into the temptation and bit his thumb. He flinched back as he gently smacked the side of my face. He then sighed and said,

"I said I wasn't hungry....don't push me Li."

He rolled his eyes as I smiled and started shoving him off me, sitting up as Toki then said,

"Ne, I'll bring Aka-chan with me."

He hung up as he leaned closer to me, hugging me as he said,

"Come on Aka-chan, we have to go to dinner."

"Toki...please get off me."

"I will...later."

He got off me as he then yanked me out of bed as he said,

"Come on."

"I'm still in pajamas."

"Don't matter come on."

He grabbed my wrist, barely giving me a chance to grab my shoes as we left.

We went to the hotel restaurant as I got my shoes on and walked in, my drawstrings pants hanging on my hips as I fixed my wife beater. We went inside as I saw everyone else, for once was in casual clothes...except Jia. He jus had undone his shirt and no longer wore a coat and tie. I felt so embarrassed I was practically in my night clothes while everyone was in jeans and a shirt. I never saw any one of them dressed out of suite...except for Toki who made it an everyday thing to not be in a suite. Anyway Jia looked at me as he said,

"Did he just drag you out of bed?"

I nodded as Jun said,

"You're hair's sticking up kid."

I ran my hand through it as Jia laughed a little and said,

"You hungry?"

"A little."

"So order up."

I saw everyone was already eating, having a drink and talking to each other. So I did the same.

After everyone was done, they wanted to smoke, but again...California, strict no smoking rules...so everyone had a drink. Tai then said,

"Jia, we're not staying here much longer are we?"

"Hell no. I fucking hate California."

Everyone laughed as Jia then said,

"We'll leave tomorrow. This is a day off. I don't think Choong Jae has any kind of power and now with Alexandra out of the way we really have nothing else to worry about."

We nodded as everyone began to finish up their drinks. Since we were off for the night, I really just wanted to find a private spot and call Miya. I haven't heard his voice in so long I started to miss him like crazy. I watched as Aoki went outside with Akio to have a cigarette. Jun, Tai and Gabriel went somewhere else, Aya sat in the lobby as Tsubasa and Jia lingered around each other talking. Ai'iro and Jiki went to sleep having a long day and more then likely feeling just as exhausted as I was. Yuki went out with Estuya to have a cigarette as his other guards went upstairs. I went back to my room to get my phone, having left it upstairs completely forgetting about Toki. For some reason I thought he had gone outside to have a cigarette but I found myself trapped with him in the elevator. I gasped as he pinned me against the wall as I said,

"What now?!"

"We got interrupted before."

"Why me?"

"Because I haven't had you."

I tried shoving him back as I said,

"I'm not some fucking victim for you Toki! I see how you treat people around you and I will not be one of those basket cases that you raped and left behind. You want my ass you'll have to kill me for me to be easy!"

He looked almost shocked that I said that. He stood a few feet away from me for a moment before he smirked and cracked his knuckles and said,

"I can so arrange that."

He reached out, grabbing my throat and slamming me against the wall of the elevator as he said,

"You think you can scare me off? Impress me with some fuckin' speech is that it? Nah Aka-chan...you can't get away from me. Bitch and scream all you like...it won't do you any good. I want you..."

He squeezed my throat a little harder as he closed the gap between us as he kissed my lips and said,

":...So Imma get you."

The elevators door opened and he dragged me out, taking me to my room. I was determined that if I was going to be raped, I would not be an easy case. He dragged me in my room where I fought back. I would not be taken down just because I was new and young. I would not be raped easily. Toki spared nothing, taking my shots in stride and fully swinging back at me. He did not care. When my arms felt too weak to fight anymore, when my face hurt so bad from being punched so many times, when my eyes got blurry from the blood I was now spilling, I fell back on the floor, Toki above me. I saw I had not gotten away without a fight, his nose dripping blood and he had bruises on his jaw and cheek and his lip was swollen but not broken. I had no more energy to fight him back. I couldn't breathe well from since he punched me in the nose at one point and I could feel the blood dripping to the back of my throat. He turned me on my stomach as he stripped me, parting my legs and entering me. I couldn't even begin to describe that pain...I wasn't sure what was worse, having the shit kicked out of me or this. My face screwed up in pain as I groaned and I went to turn over, his hand on my shoulder stopping me. My hands clenched together as did my eyes as he fucked me, eventually turning me to my side as he held onto me, going slowly at first. He even wanted to get me off, though it was not something enjoyable. He came and then got off me, finally able to leave me alone. He got up as I heard him fixing his jeans and then he headed to the bathroom, the light turning on, lighting the room from a distance. I didn't move for a while, the pain just getting to be overwhelming. I heard the water turn on as he washed his face, rinsing his mouth out as he then finished and turned off the water and the light. He said nothing else and finally left the room. I eventually got up though that became a task in itself and went to shower, feeling as disgusting as I ever have. I wasn't mad or scared or feeling dirty as people would. I was just glad he would leave me alone now...plus I didn't go down without a fight so it wasn't all for nothing. Though now I ached beyond all belief. When I checked my face in the mirror I knew I would be found out. Well, so would Toki so I wasn't too mad about it. I changed my clothes and went to bed, not wanting to face Akio when he came back though I would be seen tomorrow.
