A lovers arc

"Or what?" she questioned once again as she folded her arms under her chest, taking advantage of the darkness and placing one of her hands on her pistol, the other reaching for and clasping the dagger in her utility belt. She took it upon herself to close the gap between the two, stepping towards the man until the end of his gun was only an inch or two away from her nose. 

"Well..." he started as he could now clearly see the woman in front of him and looked her up and down, finding her rather pretty. The man took another step towards her as he placed the barrel of his gun to the side of her head. "Killing you would be a bit irresponsible of me now wouldn't it? It would make too much of a mess" he said in a calm, low tone as he slowly moved his gun under her chin, forcing her to look up at him. "But I just have one question.. who sent you?" He questioned once again, trying to keep his cool.

Kiyoko smirked a little as she locked eyes with the mafia boss once again, but this time she lowered the hand the had the gun and aimed it at his abdomen as she narrowed her eyes again. She pushed her glasses up onto the top of her head. "I already know you won't kill me, pretty boy" she taunted a bit, wrapping her fingers around the barrel of his gun. his eyes widened a little bit as he realized what she had done, "who do you work for?! who sent you?!" he asked in a much more aggressive tone than before, harshly pressing his gun to her chin, even though he knew he wouldn't pull the trigger.

At least not yet.

In the meantime, the other man who was with Tanaka managed to get back up as he sneaked towards them before pointing his gun at the girl. "I'll do it! Let go of him!" The boy said in a loud but not so convincing voice.

The girl scoffed and redirected her gaze from the boss to the injured man behind with a sharp glare, letting out a small sigh then quickly switching hands. She was now aiming the revolver at the shorter male and holding her blade to the throat of the man in front of her. "why does it matter?" she said in response to Tanaka's earlier inquiry. "what're you gonna do if I don't answer you hm?" Tanaka grinned as he didn't feel that intimidated by her since he had dealt with people like her before, people that were out to get him. "Should I shoot sir??" The man behind him asked while shakingly pointing his gun at the woman.

 "No." He answered with a stern voice as he took this opportunity to drop his gun, before swiftly smacking the revolver out of the woman's hand and grabbing the knife with his other hand, pressing it closely against her throat. "You think you can finish the job that easy huh? That's why you're here right?" He said as he started to figure out her intentions. "You're just here to kill me."

"Congratulations, you want a gold star or something?" She said in a mocking, low tone as she immediately went for his throat before pulling a syringe out of her pocket and stabbing the needle into his side. The woman made eye contact with him once again. He knew he didn't have much space to move, so he glanced over at Nishinoya, giving him a slight nod as the boy nodded back, then ran off. Tanaka looked back at the woman in front of him, breathing heavier as he had less room to breathe. "So... now it's just the two of us" he smirked slightly and held onto the syringe so she couldn't easily use it. "And you're doing this for what? Some stupid amount of money?" he scoffed. "Just- just come with me, and I'll give you more riches and money than you could ever wish for.." he said with a cough. The male was trying to buy time since he was waiting for Nishinoya to bring backup.

"Oh if only you knew how much money my client put on your head" she muttered, now slightly annoyed as she tightened her grip on the man's throat. "You think I'm easy to bribe hm? I kill for a living and I make some pretty good cash from it too, so unless you have more to offer I'll be staying right where I am" she said with more of an authoritative tone. Tanaka coughed more as he was trying to catch his breath, feeling a painful sting in his side from the syringe that was getting buried into his skin. "You don't even understand... do you? I've got connections, I could give you anything you want" he took a deep breath before speaking again, glancing back at something behind the girl. "You know what- you're right, you got me," he said while slowly dropping the knife from his fingers. The male could spot three other guys coming down from the building behind the girl, ready to catch her. "That was my final proposal," he said with a small smile as the guys behind her attacked right after he said it.

Her eyes widened a bit once she heard the footsteps behind her and quickly took it upon herself to inject the serum into him, the last of it leaving the syringe just as she was grabbed and restrained by two of the men. She shifted her gaze to the man in front of her once again, "the hell do you even want with me? you could've shot me or even slit my throat when you were given the chance" she said in a bit of a shout, genuinely confused by the boss's actions but holding her same deadpan expression from before.

"Fuck-" he mumbled, pulling the syringe out of his side and throwing it on the ground, not knowing exactly what the substance could be. Tanaka soon after stared at the girl with a wide grin on his face as he adjusted the sleeves on his suit.

 "Perfect." He said while picking up his pistol from the floor and strolling up to her. "What I want with you?... hmm... well- you're too pretty to kill and if you were dead then I'd never know who sent you. Hell, they'd probably even send someone else after me." He laughed while inspecting his gun and dusting it off a bit before putting it away. "Sooo... the only option is that you're gonna have to come with me until you're willing to talk" he continued.

She scoffed at his words and rolled her eyes. "And how exactly are you planning to do that? What if I just never give you any information?" she said, visibly annoyed with the man in front of her, her mind was flooding with different ways to escape her current situation, but in the end, she decided that resisting wouldn't have a good outcome, since she would be exhausted-- along with with the fact that she was outnumbered. She let out a quiet sigh and relaxed into the hands of the men restraining her, keeping her eyes fixed on Tanaka. He laughed again. "Oh, we'll have ways to make you talk" he looked at the girl with a slight glare as he turned his attention to the men surrounding her. 

"Let's get the fuck out of here." He turned around to walk back to the car, making the two men restraining the girl follow him. "Check her bag for any recording devices, if you find any, destroy them. I don't want anyone to follow us" he ordered the third guy. Once they made it to the car, Tanaka started to feel a little dazed and fuzzy but he decided to ignore it and stepped into the passenger seat of the black car. The first guy drove while the other two sat in the back seat keeping an eye on the girl.

She immediately seized her arm away once she had been taken to the car and 

stepped in, sitting in the middle with her arm folded under her chest. She watched as they searched her bag, knowing that the only devices she had on her were nothing but her phone, an earpiece, and her laptop. 

Other than that her satchel was packed, including things such as; other syringes, weapons, and ammunition, along with bandages, medical tape, need and thread, and a few ointments. 

She tilted her head and closed her eyes, crossing her legs as well. Tanaka rubbed his fingers over his forehead, feeling more tired and dizzy by the second as he sighed deeply. "The hell was in that syringe..." he mumbled to himself afterward until he soon passed out in his seat.

Kiyoko hummed to herself in satisfaction once he was knocked out, the serum wasn't lethal or anything, and at most he'd be unconscious for a while and weak when he woke up. She also had the antidote on hand but she didn't label anything as she was able to identify each syringe and vile, and she wouldn't be keen to use it or mention it to them either. So she knew that even if they didn't figure out she had an antidote, they wouldn't risk his life on a lucky draw. Tanaka was senseless for the entire ride back to the mansion he was currently staying at.

 He had multiple places where he would stay at but this was one of the bigger ones. About five minutes before they arrived, he slowly started gaining consciousness again as he fluttered his eyes open in confusion before he remember what had happened, still having a slight headache. After the car was parked he and everyone else stepped out.
