Aux Fin Lee's POV

"I'm Aux Fin Lee. Tell her my name and she would let me in" I saw a sick and disgusted smile on their faces the moment I uttered those words.

"A lot more reason not to let you in. She was having nightmares and I heard her uttered the name Aux Fin Lee. She said she never wanted to see you again" She condescendingly said. She gaze at me in annoyance.

She doesn't want to see me? Those words are hit me like bullets.

"I'm running out of time. Let's cut to the chase" I tried to open the closed door.

"Who gave you the audacity to bend her will? We exist because of her. Her words are our most absolute law" He aimed the sword on my neck. The cold metal pierced my neck. But it only grazed my neck.

The katana was sharp that it managed to graze my neck in a single touch of it in my neck. I wiped the blood on it. The sharpness of the katana produced a straight line on my neck.

"The people here are unbelievably stubborn" My forehead ceased in annoyance. My lost patience cannot be coated anymore. I was tired of being played over and over again by these lunatics.

"And you are unbelievably foolish" The Japanese looking girl threw three daggers at me. But I dodged it all without blinking an eye. I've had enough daggers from Minx not to master dodging those daggers.

I saw rage in her eyes when I dodged all the daggers all at once.

She attacked me while holding five daggers on her hands. She threw them all at once and kicked me in the gut. It sent me flying towards the wooden walls of the temple. Something sharp grazed my sleeves. My grey suit was ripped in half in it's sleeves.

She somersaulted and landed a single blow on me. For a woman she was undeniably strong as an opponent. I have been harassed by these thugs and her royal followers all day.

Does she wish to punish me? For a single kiss?

I clicked a button on my Rolex watch and the watch produced a metal rope. I aimed on the big log that acts as a support of the temple and shot the metal rope. The rope lifted me up in the air.

We could fight and annoy each other all day but no one would win.

This is the best solution I could to escape from Kiera's persistent "Royal Guard" is to use the rope to open the door and barge in inside and see Kiera.

I was finally inside of the temple. Everything was made of wood and there was incense in the makeshift altar. Such Japanese tradition is made in the temple. I locked the door using the thick and strong katana I saw while going inside the big temple.

I hear the twin's annoyed voices outside of the closed door.

Pashmina's POV

I alerted the cops when I saw the guy's face. The cops are our most unlikely ally seeing that we are up against the dangers of the guy that has a jet black hair and piercing blue eyes. He's the famous Cat Burglar that has been wanted in 40 countries.

I cannot bear to endanger the Mafia Boss's life.

She was the reason we exist and live in harmony towards this Lost Island.

She found us lurking and starving in the streets. We were the same age. Me, Trouise, Jade and Ichigo were street kids solely relying on the alms of the people to live. She changed our lives when she came across us.

The memory of her saving us was the most precious memory I have looked up in my memory. We will never be where we are without her. We would still be living in the streets starving and dying, trying to survive the cruel society that lay beyond us.

We are the target prey of society's crimes but she changed everything with just a single act of goodness...

I still remembered the memory like it was yesterday...

The sun was scorching outside the banks of the city streets. My hand never faltered to ask for alms for people who walked by the banks we live in. Most days were cruel, Most days are not so bad.

Every coin I accept in my palm determines how long I will live. Without food, We will eventually die. A group of nameless beggars died in the streets out of starvation will be the news headline once we all die.

Such a rotten world to live in.

A teenage girl with that emerald eyes and puckered lips went to pass by and dropped a single dollar bill on my palm. A dash of happiness went it's way into my face. The whole dollar could feed us for days.

I thanked her.

She was eating a sweet donut on her hands. She saw the way I looked at her food and she gave me the unbitten donut without uttering a single word. She smiled at me and I felt so relieved and happy she did.

At that exact moment I felt the heavens smiled at me.

My brothers and sisters came with coins in their hands and I saw their reactions when they saw a whole dollar in my hands and a sweet donut. They also noticed the girl with a box of donuts in her hands.

"Here. Don't be a glutton and share it with everyone" She handed the box of donuts on the awaiting hands of jade. Her face was a mixture of emotions when she accepted the box of donuts she always dreamed to eat.

We both smiled at her.

We introduced her in the shabby and dilapidated place we lived in everyday. The place was filled with animal manure, it was stale and dusty. But it was the only home we belong to, with no one to harm us.

"You live here every day?" We all nodded at her.

Right there and then, She asked us to come with her to the Lost City.

Where she had a brother, A mafia boss brother that is concerned in keeping the peace and harmony of the place. The place isn't exactly a friendly place to live in. Sword fights were everywhere when we came to the place.

We were welcomed by the generosity and goodness of that young lad and a great warrior named Jiro Antarou Hathaway. He honed us to fight and protect ourselves. Ania La Vie Hathaway would always visit us.

As the years passed, Master Jirou lay weak and has been unable to fight. He trained us to fight and we became his Royal Guards. He split the tasks in half and showed us to be fair and noble in dealing with the criminals that lurk within the lost city.

Master Jirou died and in Kiera was bestowed the responsibility to rule Lost City.

Right there and then, Every criminal that lived in the Lost City does every bidding of the mafia boss without uttering a single word.

Years passed and not a single criminal dare to bend a rule until now.

I couldn't let myself stand idly by and let a single guy ruin everything.

-------------------------------------------

What a gruelling past for the "Royal Guard" of the Mafia Boss. Kiera changed their lives and now they were made into great warrior that threatens to kill Aux Fin Lee...

Stay Tuned as the plot thickens... You don't want to miss out in all the fun do you?
