Chapter 9; Exile

Kaoru still wasn't sure about the plan. It was doomed to fail.
 "Kojiro, this is stupid." He said as he softly pulled at his wig, trying to get it more comfortable. It itched and it was to warm. It was nearing summer and the weather was getting warmer and warmer. The plan though, sounded solid but it wasn't. They were going to wait for Adam to start showing off the painting and then snatch it. At least that was the summary, they  had all thought it through thoroughly but it didn't sit right with Kaoru.

"Stop it." Kojiro said, slapping Kaoru's hand away. Kojiro wasn't  wearing a wig and didn't know what Kaoru was going through by wearing one. Kaoru sighed annoyed. At least he wasn't dressed like a girl, which was Miya's first plan. He absolutely wouldn't have gotten away with that but Hiromi thought they should have tried it. Probably because he thought it would be hilarious to see Kaoru in one of Kirito's or Carla's dresses. 

"Don't whine so much." Kirito teased, she was driving them to the event. In her almost 12 inch heels. Her gun was strapped to her thigh underneath her big flowy dress. If she wasn't his sister's girlfriend and if he didn't have a big ass crush on Kojiro, he probably would have thought it was hot. He still thought it was, but less fiercely than how he thought about Kojiro- who had put his holster with his gun underneath his shirt instead of beneath his blazer, which he wasn't wearing either. Langa was in the car too, dressed in a dark navy suit. He was in the front seat. In the car behind them were Hiromi and Reki together with two girls from Sia la Luce, Ashley Reynolds, who came from America to work with Sia la Luce, and Rin Iha, he had seen her multiple times throughout his stay here but it was the first time he actually talked to her and asked her name. 

The girls would be Hiromi's and Reki's 'dates' while Kiriko would be Langa's. Kojiro and Kaoru could just be each other's date, it was more convincing that there's only one gay couple in a normal friend group than three, Oka had said. Kaoru didn't completely agree but they would certainly attract less attention now than they would've if everyone went with just their usual partner. 

Oka wasn't coming to the party, not directly anyways. He, Miya and Carla would be on standby, they were in a van next to the event building already, Miya hacked into the security system and with the camera's they'd be keeping watch for anything unusual or danger. 

"We're almost there, get your masks ready." Kiriko said, smugly. Kaoru wasn't sure why but he could guess. She'd watched so many superhero movies that this could be line from one of them. She pulled down her own navy blue mask. She had matched her accessories and shoes with the colour of Langa's suit, while her dress was black. 

Kojiro nudged Kaoru's side with his elbow, "Stop it, stupid Gorilla." Kaoru responded as he pushed Kojiro's arm away. "Cheer up, if it goes wrong we'll shoot them." Kaoru frowned. "No, fuck, I meant more like that we'll be getting out of there safely none of us will get hurt."

"Oh Kojiro you're gonna dig yourself a hole if you're keep gonna try to cheer up Cherry," Kiriko said before continiuing, "This man is stubborn as shit and if he's gonna be wary of the situation there's no way you'll get through him."

"Thanks." Kaoru said dryly. "Oh here we are." Kiriko said then, as she pulled into the parking lot. 
"Come on Darling." She addressed Langa who, visibly, had to fight himself to not laugh.

"God this is gonna be a long evenin'." He said and he got out of the car. He walked around the car to open the other car door and helped Kiriko out. Kojiro quickly turned to open his own.
"Don't even think about it." Kaoru said and he opened his own door before Kojiro got out. "Awh you're no fun." Kojiro whined jokingly. Kaoru flipped him off.

"Guys, stick together with your partner and stay out of sight." Langa said when Hiromi and Reki, with their dates, joined them. He touched Reki's shoulder for a second than he took Kiriko's hand. Kiriko looked at Reki for a split second, decided she probably could make a joke, "I mean if i had to choose a man i would definitely choose David Bowie. Don't worry about your man, Reki." Reki beamed at her, "Wouldn't we all choose him?" He joked back.
