"...do you have regrets? Do you regret trusting a mafia boss? Do you regret running down that very stairwell that has lead you to your doom? Do you regret it all?"

You're unconscious but these thoughts flurry through your mind. But, you have no time to be regretting and blaming yourself. You need to get up, push forward and live. You've gotten this far, is it that hard to keep going further? Just wake up. But... can you? You didn't even have the strength to rely your own trusted best friend when you needed to, you tried to solve this issue on your own, how foolish.

Ah, well, what can you even do now? You're all alone and always have been

But, still, you need to get up. You need to live. JUST GET UP. GET UP. GET UP!

You force your eyes awake, they can barely keep open, you're in a musty, concrete warehouse, with multiple shelves filled with mysterious packages. You're lying on your stomach, your hands and legs are tied behind you, its something straight out of a cliché spy novel. You ignore the blatant unimaginative scenery and focus on getting out safe and sound.

Your hit with a flash of pain while you were turning your head. "Damn! Ow! That really hurt!" While trying to examine the source of the excruciating pain, you hear a door open and then see light, you quickly shut your eyes and pretend you're asleep. You opened an eye discreetly.

"Tch, that damn Kamishiro brat, sending us a decoy. He thinks he's a smartass for fooling us." A burly man complained as he scratched the back of his head in frustration. "Hey, Ko, why're we keeping this kid alive?"

"When we were observing the Kamishiro heir, he seemed to enjoy this one's company, so were keeping them to be bait, or better yet a hostage." A young girl with brownish- yellow eyes, ash blonde hair, smiled as she adjusted her backwards cap, she looks 16. What was a girl who's not even old enough to drink, doing in a Naganohara base? Before you can answer your own question she looks straight at you. You make eye contact. "Oh, you're awake." Her friendly look faded instantly and it felt like you were being glared at by an apex predator. "Don't you look quite pathetic, like a little hamster trapped in a cage being neglected by its owner." She laughed. She laughed at you. While you're on the ground crying. She laughs. What kind of sick joke is this?! NOT AN OUNCE OF PITY? Fear and anger enshroud your entire body.

"Please! I wont speak a word of this to anyone please! Just let me live!" You cry to them, sobbing, breaking down. This was the only way to live you could think of, only if it weren't for RUI KAMISHIRO you'd be at home, texting Tsukasa, going to school, having fun, your anger and hatred towards him sky rockets, you vow to never forgive him. But it wasn't the time to plan for the future, you may not be able to make it to then. Then the burly man stepped over towards you.

"Look kid, if you're compliant you'll be able to live, we just need the Kamishiro heir," he sighed " I have a daughter around your age, i get no joy from seeing such a young child fearing for their life. I'll do my best to help you out alright?" The burly man pats you on the head and gives you a friendly smile, you've calmed down. "No need to sweet talk some kid into obeying, i think I'm younger than you but I'm clearly more mature." You tense up all of a sudden, you've heard someone say that before. Back at the academy. You are struck with realisation. You're dumbfounded how you didn't recognise that voice earlier. "K-Kohane?!"

She scoffs in response, "Took you long enough, airhead." She took down her mask, you were reminded of how pretty she was. "Stop staring bozo. You want to live right?"

"Yes! Absolutely!"

"I'll need to confirm some things with the boss but... i may be able to help you, but of course, at a price though. I cant guarantee anything, he's pretty stingy." she scoffed and rolled he eyes. "KOHANE HUSH! HE MIGHT HEAR YOU!" The buff guy quickly put his hands over Kohane's mouth in a panic. Silence ensued, he pulled his hands away as you three awkwardly stared at each other. "See? The boss ain't he-" SLAM! "OW!" As kohane was smacked in the face by a large metal door that you didn't seem to notice when you previously observed the room. The sound echoed. The buff guy, stiffened but quickly turned around and bowed to the man who had just entered through the doorway.

"I GREET THE MOON OF THE NAGANOHARA CLAN, MAY YOUR PROSPERITY AND GLORY SHINE FOR ETERNITY!" Judging by how afraid the kind man was, you pretend to be passed out to avoid confrontation.

"You're far too loud. Ugh! My ears are ringing, I'll have you killed if there's any sort of damage done to my ears, do you understand?" The burly man, shaken with fear, nods and keeps his head lowered. "I heard my little sister insulting me again, where is that asshole?"

"Hey! Kid! The one who's tied up. You're really shit at acting. Wake up will ya?" A condescending voice addresses you. You reluctantly open your eyes, you're not an idiot who chooses to annoy a mafia boss who's already in a bad mood. You regret opening your eyes. He's hot. LIKE REAL HOT. A poised young man with glossy white hair, piercing blue eyes and an impeccable jawline. Not to mention his stature, you stare.

"I'm right here, you prick." Kohane murmurs as she gets up from her painful encounter with the door. "Well, I heard your little offer for our captive, are you REALLY going to trust a captive who couldn't fool me, nor do they have enough strength to defend themselves from even our most pathetic of forces."

"They have his trust, and pity. They even has motive which comes in handy for us. Wether or not they're a traitor I'm sure they value their life enough to not run their mouth." Kohane looks at you. With desperate eyes, you look at the handsome man, you spot the gun on his waist. The urgency of the situation sinks in, you panic.

"AH YES! I PROMISE! I- I... Can't forgive Rui for what he'd done to me, he... THAT HORRIBLE MAN!" Tears start welling up in your eyes, they overflow. "DO YOU THINK I WANT TO BE TIED UP, LIFE AT STAKE AND BRUISED? I... Don't want to be in the middle of a war... I just want to live my life peacefully." You quiet down and look at the ground, reflecting. Someone scoffs.

"Nothing is free in this world, what do you want in exchange?" The handsome guy gives you a smirk and looks down at you. Peering over.

"Guarantee me a peaceful and happy life, that also includes those who I care about." With a determined glare you look into his lapis eyes without falter.

"Ha! oh, don't worry, if you're able to complete this tremendous achievement, we'll spoil you guys rotten~"
A grin appeared on his face. He approaches you and unties you. He proceeds to reach a hand out to you.
You take it without a second thought.

"The name's Megumi Naganohara, pleasure to be doing business with you... Y/N right?"
