*Finders Keepers*

~ Ledges ~

You follow Mikey closely and toss the keys to a valet. "Scratch that car and I'll scoop your right eye." The guy swallows deeply and nods quickly. You laugh quietly and shove your hands into your pockets watching everything closely. Mikey walks to the crisp leather couches in the VIP area as you stand close by.

After getting settled people start pouring in as you see some sleazy men and girls ready to dance with anyone who offers them a sweet smile. You quickly text Shion and tell him to enter through the side door and call you when he gets here. You get a thumbs up in reply before shoving your phone away again. The Brothers and Koko are out socializing, gaining a clientele and people wanting to hold events in the club.

After an hour of standing watch you see an overconfident woman approaching Mikey sending you into high alert. "Oh Mikey~ It's been forever!" You see complete disinterest painted across his face as he signal's you to get her away from him. You grab her upper arm and start to drag her away from him. The woman flies into a tantrum, "Who do you think you are?!? You look like a cheap whore!" You tighten your grip on her arm positively. It'll leave some bruises in the next hour, maybe sooner. "I'm his bodyguard. He has no interest in you. Go away before you make your situation worse."

She scoffs and flips her hair over her shoulder and pushes a manicured fingernail into your shoulder. "I'm not taking orders from a nobody like you!" You harshly smack her face forcing her to understand her place in the situation. "Back down. Now." You push her away causing her to fall to the floor as she cradles her cheek. You walk back to your original position ignoring her pitiable cries. "Mikey, you need to choose better sluts. Preferably ones that don't act brainless."

You receive no answer, not that you were really expecting one. You hear a shrill scream causing you to quickly place your hand on your gun and stand in front of Mikey thinking there's a possible attack only to see her. Miranda. She runs towards Sanzu who, unknown to your knowledge, had been mesmerized by you from the moment you walked in. He couldn't help but think how well your haircut suited you or how he wanted to see what was on your chest displayed for others so easily but out of reach for him. You made that much clear but he still yearned to be closer.

Your face scrunches up in disgust. Sanzu's eyes flit to the woman now clinging to him complaining about 'how that woman ruined their fun and scared her so bad last time she was at his place.' noticing his eyes flitting back to you every second or so she looks over and goes pale seeing you standing by Mikey. A position she never could grab no matter how much she tried to gain his attention, eventually choosing Sanzu as an easier target.

As if some unknown force shined its grace on you, your phone vibrates as Shion calls you notifying you that he was at the side door. You tell him to hand the guard his phone as you mumble something and let him know the situation. Moments later you see Shion pop out a door to the side as a smile graces your face and you wave over to him. "Mikey, can I have some free time? I already have two of our top guys on standby to take over." He looks over at you and gives you a curt nod.

"Thank you boss!" You wave the men over and instruct them on every detail and strictly inform them not to let a soul near him unless Mikey himself told them. After you do that you run over to Shion enveloping him in a warm hug. "You made it! I'm so happy you made it at the right time too." You take his hand and guide him to the second floor that's slightly quieter.

You feel Shion stop as you look over to him and you notice his eyes widen in shock. "Shion? What's wrong?" He looks at you with bewilderment. "Why are you with them? How do you know them?" The situation feels slightly heavy as you notice he's looking at the executives and they're looking back with pure confusion. Sanzu looks only at your hands, feeling upset and annoyed. "I work with them. I told you not to be surprised..."

Why did you think he'd be accepting... Mikey stares on watching as things unfold hating the look of slight hurt on your face. Both Ran and Rin approach, making Shion back away slightly causing you to release his hand. "Shion? Is that you?" Ran places a hand on his shoulder causing him to flinch. You can tell he was uncomfortable and before the situation could turn any worse you drag Shion away to the quiet rooftop seating area. "I'm sorry about them.. I didn't know you guys knew each other."

Shion swallows thickly and shakes his head. "There was no way for you to know. That was in my past. I was in a gang with the Haitani's, Mochi, Koko, and Kakucho." You're shocked you never expected that of all things. "So Y/n as much as I do truly enjoy being around you and I would be lying if I said I didn't want to see you again but for my sake I think we shouldn't be around each other." You scoff and look away crossing your arms.

"Damn. Okay. Then you should probably just leave. I'm sure at least one of them will be up here to eavesdrop." You lightly push him away, refusing to look at him. As he runs away you mumble about how cowardly he was acting. You go to head back inside as you open the door you see Miranda standing there with this condescending smirk across her face. "What do you want? You're in my way. Shouldn't you be shoving yourself up Sanzu's ass right now?"

"You're not even that attractive. I don't see why he's hung up over you. I don't see why Mikey has you close either." You raise your brow not having the patience to listen to her yap like a chihuahua. "Maybe because I'm not an easy whore off the streets that will sleep with someone else's man. I mean that's my first guess." You shrug and look away. "He still chose me over you basically. He was moaning so sweetly for me before you barged into the room the other day."

Your mood had already been sour after Shion ran away with his tail between his legs and now this woman wasn't making it any better. Before she could continue yapping on you grab onto her shoulders painfully tight and drag her to the side of the building. Leaning her over the side as you place the barrel of the gun under her chin. "Will you shut the fuck up! Do you love the sound of your own voice that much?!? God! Why do you think you can just talk all this shit to a high member of Bonten and get away with it?!?" Miranda is a terrified mess at this point sobbing and begging you not to drop her or kill her.

Hearing the door behind you slam open and feet rush towards you as a hand clasps over your shoulder trying to pull you and her away from the ledge. "Y/n don't do this!" Miranda has a sliver of hope shining on her face. "Not here you know this is too public!" You look over your shoulder to see Sanzu. "Why the fuck are you touching me?!" You pull her away from the edge and slam her into his chest landing a powerful punch to her jaw before walking away. You ignore him calling your name.

"Y/n are you okay? I saw Sanzu running this way and thought I'd see what was going on. Why is your gun out?" Takeomi gently places his hand over the gun in your hand, relieved that the barrel is still cold to the touch. Without wasting a moment you grip his shirt and pull him into a deep kiss. "I'm sorry but I'm going to use you Omi... I'm not going to be treated like this by either of them." Hearing the door behind you open as you pull him in for another kiss, this time Takeomi kisses back with no hesitation. Pulling away you look over and smile at Sanzu.

"Your brother is a far better kisser than you ever were." Your eyes trail over to the now shaking Miranda. "If I ever see you in front of me again I'll kill you. I promise that on everything." You holster your gun again and walk away back to Mikey's side. Once back at the couch you notice his absence as your phone vibrates a message from Mikey saying he left because he got tired of how loud the place was.

You sit down next to Kakucho and sigh, leaning into his side. "Kakucho... take me home please I'm tired of this.." You simply offer him the valet ticket and curl into his side. This night didn't go anywhere near as you hoped it would. Following him out and to the waiting car. The rest of the trip was a blur as your tired mind no longer wanted to adjust. Autopilot was your mind's choice instead of assessing all the feelings you've felt that night.
