   "How bad did you piss him off to have him bring that out?" Sakusa quickly questioned, seeing as how Y/n wasn't being electrocuted at the very moment. "Never mind, I'm not surprised. You always find a way to push people's buttons."

   "Is now really the time, Kiyoomi? I don't know how to get this thing off." She pulled at the collar, which lead to her being shocked again. 

   "Don't move, stop touching it." He firmly held her wrist, looking to the side to find everything at a stand still. Taking his chances, he called out to the opposition. "Who are you and what are you looking for?"

   "I believe it's our first time meeting, Inarizaki? May I ask why it is that you're helping these two?" A low voice hissed out. "You have no reason to get caught up in this. Leave now and no harm will come to you."

   "You're an idiot, Daishou. What are you doing here?" Y/n stood up from her and Sakusa's cover, despite him trying to keep hold of her wrist. She lightly shook him away and proceeded further towards the snakes. The leader kept his ground while the rest slowly backed off.

   "You should learn to hold your tongue." His mouth twisted into an amused grin as he pulled something out of his pocket, watching her fall to the floor on her knees. "Neat little thing, huh? I'm not sure if the shock could kill you or not though."

   She couldn't speak, feeling as though her throat was closing in on itself. Even worse, she knew that no one could really help her at this point. Daishou was obviously exploiting his control of the situation, and she didn't feel like getting herself or anyone else killed.

   "What do you get from this? Money, power, status?" Sakusa made eye contact with Suna and Atsumu, subtly telling them to stand down through small hand movements. "Let Y/n go and we can talk about this in a civilized manner, Daishou."

   The collar finally stopped, letting her gasp for air. "What makes you think I'd want to discuss anything with you? This isn't just business, you know." A low buzz filled the room again, soon followed by the sound of Y/n fully hitting the ground. "Aw, she's out cold already? That didn't last as long as I'd hoped for..."

   He stepped closer to her, pausing to look her over. "Y/n~ I'm sorry, but you really are a terrible actor." Crouching down next to her, his hand reached for her arm, lifting and dropping it before standing back up with a laugh. "Or, maybe you aren't acting at all. Not so talkative now, Sakusa? Why don't you come out where we can have a real conversation?"

   The invitation was obviously of ill intent. "You were the one who wanted nothing to do with that a minute ago. Why do you want to talk now?" Even so, he stood up and made himself visible. 

   "Surely, you must have something against her. She's a cold blooded assassin with a large price on her head, have you never thought about it?" Daishou moved her head to the side with the base of his heel, pushing down on it and still seeing no reaction. "I couldn't care less about bringing her back, it's too much trouble for what it's worth. But she's vulnerable right now. You might not get another chance." His eye landed on the two foxes, who both seemed to freeze for a second.

   "You call her cold blooded, yet you're the one telling her allies to betray her." Suna snapped back.

   "She'd turn her back on you the second she got the chance."

   "She wouldn't." Sakusa backed away from them, smiling. "She's had every chance to, and she hasn't. Y/n isn't one to look for reasons to hurt others, but she does hold a grudge."

   Her hand grabbed Daishou's leg that was closest to her face, knocking him off balance and sending him to the floor, as well as knocking the small controller out of his hand. She quickly rolled to the side and pinned him down, taking a knife from a table close to them. "I guess I'm a better actor than you gave me credit for." His eyes widened in disbelief, feeling a sharp pain in his shoulder. "I warned you about what would happen if you ever came after me. I plan to go through with that."

   She raised her arm up to stab him again, though she didn't end up doing so. "You can have your fun with him after we do some interrogating. In other words, we need him alive for now, Y/n." Holding the back of her shirt collar, Sakusa lifted her off of Daishou, struggling to stop her from slipping out of his grasp like before. Unlike the last time however, she didn't stop once she'd been told to. If anything, she tried harder to get close to Daishou. "Y/n, stop. You're wasting your time."

   "Shut up!" She finally got away, turning to her old friend with exhaustion hiding behind a wall of anger. "I listened to you last time when you told me not to kill Terushima, look where that got me! I'm not making the same mistake again, Sakusa."

   "Fine... You can have your way, but only after we get some answers out of him." He couldn't lie to himself, hearing her call him by just 'Sakusa' hurt more than he would've expected, but he pushed the thought aside for the time being. "Change of plans, we're not letting you go back there. This should've been done a long time ago."
