Kiera's POV:
''Uh huh, no its okay dad I understand, your held up and can't come for me. No its fine I can walk Rikudoh productions isn't far from the house, yeah I'll be careful... no you don't have to.... uh okay fine see you tomorrow bye'' I hung up the phone to my dad and sighed as I put it back in my bag. My dad had called me telling me that he was held up and couldn't take me back home from Rikudoh productions after my recording session. I didn't mind too much though I kinda preferred walking it let me think about things and its quiet esspecially at night.

My dad was worried because it was night at the moment and that meant that I had to walk home alone I mean he did say he would call one of the guys to come and walk home with me but I told him no I was fine after all he would probably call that Jerk Iori or Kyohei and he's way too overbearing right now. So he said he would call them saying I was on my way so one of them could stay up and wait for me to get back which I had no problem agreeing to that so long as I didn't have someone pestering me all the way home, 

I slid my glasses on my face and walked out of Rikudoh productions and started on my way home, I breathed in the night air as I walked and felt myself smiling but I wasn't smiling at the thought of being out in the night air, no. For some reason I thought of myself getting home and seeing Kota waiting for me I didn't know why I had started thinking about him or why I was smiling, or why I was hoping that he was the one waiting for me to get home for that matter. All I knew was that the thought of him did make me smile.

I was walking through the quiet streets when I suddenly felt something staring at me, I turned around not being able to get the thought out of my mind but I saw nothing there. I shook my head after all I was clearly just being paranoid, I mean I was used to having stalkers and all that since it happened when I was in Hollywood too and I did have ways to protect myself if it ever came to that. I turned around and continued walking,

''ugh, I think I might have been too hard on myself tonight at that recording. I guess I have been missing out on sleep too lately that's probably whats messing with my head and making me think that someones following me. Tch I need to start getting to bed earlier when I can'' I muttered to myself but then it happened again. That feeling of being watched and this time I heard footsteps from behind me as well, I quickly turned around again, but once again nothing was there. ''Alright Kiera no more late night coffee for you'' I said to myself as I spun back around to walk again this time at a much faster pace.

Suddenly someone grabbed me by the arm as I was walking past a dark alley way and dragged me in with them slamming me against the wall, I groaned as my head spun from the harsh impact. Judging by the person's grip they were a male, either a stalker or some drunk guy was my guess since that's what they always were... At least that was my first guess until I saw something glinting and reflecting the light of a nearby street lamp. 

My breath hitched in my throat as I saw the man gripping a long blade tightly in his hand as the other hand was pinning me to the wall by the collar of my jacket, I had to try hard to stop myself from shaking in fear, I caught a glimpse of something on the collar of his jacket, it was a badge with the initials CS my eyes widened knowing what was going on here,

''ngr, what do you want with me!'' I shouted, I had to keep this guy distracted whilst I reached for my taser in my bag, it was the only way I was going to get this creep off of me and run back home. Luckily his grip was in the wrong place so he was wide open to an attack as long as it was timed right. This guy must be an amateur,

''I have to get rid of you, my master bids it and I must follow my masters orders or I will be punished!'' He growled as his grip tightened on his knife I grinned luckily it was dark so he couldn't see, this guy was falling for the oldest trick in the book, so I had to keep him talking,
