Walker ran over to Erika to see if she was alive. He could see she was alive but unconscious. At first he couldn't see any injuries and was unsure where the blood was coming from. That is until he rolled her body over and saw her face. The left side of her face had some talon claw marks starting at the eyebrow from the vampire attacking her in falcon form. Her face was bloodied and cut up some, but that wasn't the worst part. Her left eye was gone. Torn from its socket, and no where to be seen.

Walker was in shock from the sight, and began to gag, nearly puking. "Erika..." He choked through tears. Kadato and Saburo came over to see if Erika was okay. As they saw her injuries both were left speechless. "Eh she'll live. She is just in shock so she passed out." A calm female voice said. The three looked up seeing the vampire lady had ran off, but the human girl was still there.

The girl approached Erika's body and knelt down by her. "Get away from her!" Walker yelled at her. He knew the girl was somehow connected to the vampires who caused this. So to him she was just as guilty as the bastard falcon. The girl put her hands up as if to show she meant no harm. "Chill. I won't hurt her. I actually wanna help." She stated reaching into her purse pulling out several bandage wraps, medical gauze and hydrogen peroxide bottles. "Ah, miss. You a nurse or something?" Kadota asked. "Nah, just been in allot of accidents so I know how to patch up wounds in a pinch. Also my name is Safri Junkomri. " She responded as she began to clean Erika's wounds.

Walker held Erika's head in his lap, watching Safri closely to make sure this wasn't a trick. Once the wounds were cleaned well, Safri began to bandage them. "It's best to get her to a doctor. I'd suggest the one known as Shinra Kishitani. He is eccentric. But won't ask too much. And even if you tell him it was a vampire attack, he will actually believe you. He can clean her up better and give her pain killers. Also once she is fully healed she can look into some decent glass eyes. My uncle has one actually." Safri explained as she finished nursing Erika's wounds.

"So you know Shinra? You been a patient of his before?" Saburo asked. "No. Unfortunately I was a patient of his father's once though." Safri said putting her supplies away, then turned to leave before they could stop her. Walker was too busy cradling Erika in his arms crying, to even care about her leaving. Or her odd comment about Shingen Kishitani. With Kadota's help Saburo got both Walker and Erika into the back of the van.

"Walker. Look at me." Kadota said in a stern, yet not angry tone. Walker looked up at him. ''I know you're upset. Both me and Saburo are as well. But we need to be strong right now. For her. When she wakes up, chances are she will not handle the news well. And if she sees us crying as well, it will only make it worse for her. Understood?" Kadota said, trying to calm his friend. Walker nodded slightly. "Okay Dota-chin." He said softly, and helped get Erika in a comfortable lying down position, with a blanket wrapped around her. He did that having heard when one goes into shock their body can become cold and risk hypothermia.

To say Shinra was surprised when the van gang arrived with an unconscious bloodied Erika, would be an understatement. The doctor quickly grabbed his supplies and began working on her. He didn't even bothering asking questions till he was sure she was not in any life threatening danger.

"Okay. She is stable. And will be okay. I gave her some pain killers through an IV. So when she wakes she won't be in too much pain. Usually this is where I ask for payment. But actually. I prefer knowing, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO HER!?" He questioned loudly. He knew the gang got in trouble at times. Kadota even ended up in a hospital once. But this, was one of the worse things Shinra had seen. Well, at least on a girl.

"A damned vampire. That's what." Walker said, still looking upset. But now no longer sad, instead furious. "Oh," Was all Shinra said. "Who managed to bandage her up so well? If I didn't know better I'd say you saw a different doctor before coming here." Shinra said, in a half joking tone. "Some young lady named Safri Junkomori. She said she knew you." Sabura responded. Shinra paused for a moment. Looking like a deer caught in headlights. "Did, you just say Safri Junkomori?" He questioned. The three men nodded.

"Tall, slender yet strong looking? Pale, almost but not quite foreign looking with blue eyes so pretty they look more like gems? And her body covered in cuts bruises and bandages?" Shinra then interrogated as if making sure they were speaking of the same Safri he was thinking of. "Yeah. That's the girl. Why do you seem so surprised?" Kadota asked. Realizing there must be something unique about this girl Safri.

"Well, it's just. Surprised to hear she would be out late at night. Alone. Since no way would her body guard allow her near you guys or a vampire is all. I work for her family at times." Shinra said. "Body guard?" Sabura tilted his head. "You work for her family..." Walker added curiously. Kadota was the only one who seemed to understand what was so special about this girl. "So, she and her family are part of the yakuza. That's why she had injuries, and knows how to handle herself. And needs a body guard." Kadota stated. Shinra nodded.

"She is the only daughter of the Junkomori family. So her father can be a bit over protective. Especially considering two months ago. A boy she dated, apparently hit her. No one has seen the kid since, and many assume her father killed him. Then she went missing for almost a whole week. When she came back, he hired a body guard and won't let her leave the house without the guard." Shinra told them. "She said something else. Before running off. That she has never been a patient of yours. But 'unfortunately' was a patient of your father's once. What did she mean by that?" Kadota looked at Shinra curious.

"Err well...he was the one who found her. When she went missing. " Shinra lied. His father told him what happened. And why the girl had gone missing. He didn't want to believe it. So he pretended it wasn't true. But, even if what his father said was false. One thing was for sure. Safri had been kidnapped. By Nebula.  And his own father had ordered the abduction. But she had eventually managed to escape.

Kadota raised an eyebrow. Knowing Shinra was lying. Even Celty could tell and would have glared daggers at him, if she had eyes. After making sure Erika would be fine, Saburo and Kadota decided to go looking for Safri. She knew Anna, and may know the vampire who hurt Erika. And maybe, her family could even help them kill the bastard. Though Walker stayed with Erika to comfort her when she awakes.
