Gang Wars [YunaxPredatory's 1x1]

Logan had always been fairly good at reading people and Asuka wasn't hiding her dislike of this situation any better than she had hid her sub-conscious attraction to the ale ganger minutes earlier. Even though Logan knew that Asuka wouldn't even really notice the clothed wires around her leg once she grew used to it, it still would not sit well with Logan to have her mope about something so simple and necessary. The gentleman inside of his rough and ragged soul would not allow him to just brush her uneasiness away and forget it.

When Logan erected himself, he stepped behind Asuka and wrapped his arms around the mid-section of her small frame. The ganger's embrace was firm, to say the least, but it was not rough or harsh. He held her tightly and pulled her body back against his with a strength that would not allow her to pull herself free, but that was all that he did. He simply held her and he would not let her go if she tried to escape him.

"Please do not allow these precautions to tarnish the relationship that we have started building," Logan whispered into Asuka's ear with a gentle tone that contradicted his firm hold upon her form. "Though I will treat you with the same respect that I would offer a guest in my home while we are here, it does not change that you have a close relationship with a man whom is currently an enemy of my family - moreso now than ever since Roselyn saw fit to kidnap you. Can you honestly look me in the eye and tell me that you would not try to slip away from me and return to your brother if given the chance?"

No matter how much that Asuka might hate the fact that Logan had just strapped what could effectively be described as a comfy shock collar around her thigh, she wouldn't be able to deny the validity of his concern after Logan had caught her trying to escape the night prior. If she would try to run, as Logan suspected that she might, then she could not argue the point or the validity of the precautions. If she did not plan to run, on the other hand, then there might be hope that Logan would remove the 'collar' later.
 
Asuka & Shinjiro Tsuimori​

Her body tensed again at the unexpected contact. She had been waiting for the damn blindfold ... but he seemed to be .. stalling? Or merely clarifying things? Regardless, she had not seen this coming either. But ... it wasn't horrible either. Somehow, even with the threat of the stun gun being on her thigh, she otherwise felt relatively safe. Didn't she? Gods the poor girl was confused ... unsure of what to think. This was all so weird, so foreign for her. Once Logan spoke, however, she listened to all of his words ... carefully.

Her head shook as she sighed. "I ... honestly don't know. I do care for Shinjiro greatly. But ... I can not deny we both have the same ideas on what he is doing and how he needs to stop. All the same .... I'm terrified he can't, won't even." Her body trembled against his grip, though not in fear of anything Logan had said or done but rather, fear and concern for her brother.

"Ever since our parents got gunned down ... he changed. I realize this doesn't excuse his actions ... but trust me when I say I tried to get him to stop. Save for his devotion and caring toward me ... he has changed. He never used to be like this. I ... do see where you're coming from and what you're trying to do. But I can't lie when I say the question 'Why me?!' has been constantly repeating since I got dragged into this."

Her head shook as she looked up. The desire to cry had built up ... but she wouldn't. Not now, not in front of Logan. Exhaling deeply to keep her tears from falling, she continued on. ".... I'm not sure what to feel or whom to be mad at. It probably should - in the end - be Shinjiro. But what about the people responsible for our parent's deaths? They had - we found out - been gang members themselves; hence where Shinjiro got the idea of forming Yomi. It didn't immediately come to him of course ... we started out as street urchins, with him doing most of the actual stealing. But .... still when all is said and done, the source goes back to gangs. His choice of actions were horrid but ... his intentions - to help us survive - were good."

A stray tear managed to escape as she quickly wiped it away. "I ... I really don't know for certain if I would go back. Just because he's the only family I have left, part of me says yes. But ... with the hope that maybe he will begin to listen and stop this nonsense ... another portion of me is saying no." Now the hard part ... would he believe her? She was definitely pouring her heart out; but if she came across as a mere actress to him .. this wouldn't go well.
 
"If there is any doubt in your heart that you will not attempt to flee from me, then wouldn't you say that I am justified in any precautions that I could take in an effort to stop you," Logan whispered again into Asuka's ear. This time, however, his voice was different. It was just as soft and gentle as before, but now it was laced with a subtle purr. "Though I did not ask that you be brought here, there is nothing that I can do to change the current situation and it would serve me far better to keep you here with me."

As Logan spoke, his hands shifted. The left remained where it was, wrapped firmly around Asuka's hips so that she could not pull away while the right trailed upward. His fingers barely brushed against her body as they traced shamelessly from Asuka's belly button, along the girl's sternum, and over her shapely bust. Though that is where most men would have likely stopped to get a good 'assessment' of the goods, Logan did not. His fingers continued to move from there until they reached the girl's neck. It was then that his hand stopped as it clamped itself around Asuka's most vulnerable of places. Logan's grip on the girl's neck was the same as his grip around her waist had been - firm, but not harsh. She would still be able to breath without struggle, but Logan's touch would leave no doubt that he could change that if he so wished.

Logan knew that he and Asuka should be leaving, but he could not pass up this opportunity to get inside of the asian woman's head. Getting inside of her head was going to be paramount to getting what he wanted from her and he could see that she was so conflicted about everything right now. She didn't want to admit that she wanted this kind of attention from him, but she clearly did. She did not want to remain here in bondage, but she did not want to return home and let her brother simply continue. Hell, she did not even know who she was supposed to be pissed off at right now.

"You know what would happen if I let you go. You would go back home to your brother and once he knew that you were safe, he would cut all of the chains holding his little gang of attack dogs back and he would let them run rabid through the streets looking for blood - my blood. Shinjiro is not stupid. He won't just let me or my sister go now that he knows that we are after him. Whether I like this little situation or not, I have to be certain that you can't run. Besides, I've got a bit of a weak spot for beautiful women and you're one of the most attractive girls that I've seen in a long time."
 
Asuka & Shinjiro Tsuimori​

"I .. I never questioned your tactics. Just ... did it have to come to this? I ... kind of wish it hadn't. And .. obviously you do too as you just said. So ... you do understand my side of the coin also ... right?" Gods she hoped. Logan was, whether she liked realizing it or not, one of the few people whom even began to truly understand her. Granted, she hadn't yet met the others. But ... knowing she was supposed to have a blindfold - soon - she wouldn't see them anyways. It would be hard to try to recognize them by voice all the time without seeing them ... and Roselyn would not be keeping much of a watch on her compared to Logan. So in the end, he was really all she had.

Her heart raced as she felt his hands slide up. "...L-logan? Wh...what?" Her eyes wanted to open but something ... an urge? Desire? Something, at any rate, told her to keep them closed. It added onto sensations she had never felt; well one she hadn't before and one she had not encountered in a long time. Fear .... and a bit of arousal, probably from the sensory deprivation she was giving herself. A whimper left as his hand slid over both her breasts and neck, the nipples hardening. Even if it was only slight, it had definitely still occurred.

Swallowing nervously, her body didn't dare move save to breathe. As he resumed speaking, her head shook no. "...N-not necessarily. He did sound like he would consider trying to change. I ... do know that isn't likely to be his preference; to forget and forgive. But ... maybe the small part of me that remembers the man he used to be .. is unable to help but be a bit too hopeful. I'm sorry .. if that sounds pathetic to have so much faith, especially in someone with quite the rep like Shinjiro. But ... I can't just completely give up on him yet."

Her cheeks instantly went crimson again at his last words. "I .... don't ... I mean...." A nervous chuckle left as she tried to finish her sentence. "I ... haven't really viewed myself as anything overly ... elegant. But .... thank you all the same, even ... if I don't know about that being true."
 
"Suppose that your brother stopped then, Asuka," Logan whispered in that same sensual voice. "If he stopped then his dogs would still run free from their chains. Their master would no longer be there to hold them back and they would run free through the streets doing whatever the wished to everyone - not just my crew. Certainly a few of them harbor some fear and hatred for Shinjiro. Suppose they used you to get to your brother? What kinds of things would those hounds do to you? If your brother is considering this, then you are safer here with me where they cannot find you."

Logan's lips pressed against the back of Asuka's neck when he finished speaking, as if to give the girl some kind of gentle hint as to what they might do to her; not that she needed it. She had to know what might happen to her if Shinjiro backed out. She would no longer be the baby sister of their leader. She would no longer be protected by someone whom they feared. To some of the Yomi, she would be just another hot piece of ass to do with as they pleased. Logan hoped that this realization would keep Asuka from running because he was about to do something that he never did - risk losing the upper hand.

While Logan's right hand remained tight against Asuka's neck, his left began to glide across her body in the opposite direction. It traveled down in a painfully slow motion as it dug itself beneath the hem of her skirt as it moved toward the 'collar'. "I will remove this if it bothers you so much, Asuka, but I beg you to keep my words in mind if the urge to run should overcome you. Right now, you are much safer with me than you are with Shinjiro."
 
Asuka & Shinjiro Tsuimori​

Letting the words echo a few times ... her head bowed. She hated admitting it; but she knew it perfectly well to be true. The only reason - a good one at any rate - she was still even a virgin was because Shinjiro had made the ones that had tried to rape her remember their place. A few of the flashbacks raced through her mind, making her shudder and whimper, her hands covering her face. "I .... I know ... ah!"

A mix of a scream and another whimper left at the abrupt kiss, sending goosebumps down her back. It had been like a harsh jolt of electricity; sudden, trailing down every inch of her body and yet ... erotic in a beautiful and mysterious way. Her hands covered her breasts now as they hardened more. What was he doing? Was he trying to seduce her? Whatever this was ... it was definitely doing something. She wouldn't yet admit fully working; but she would note that this had never happened before. True, not many others had tried to be gentle with sexual approaches.

Feeling his hand trail down again, her legs closed; not to keep his hand away, but to try to keep the slightest scent and hint of arousal hidden from him. ...W..why? Why is this happening? Poor Asuka had never been so confused -- sexually or otherwise -- before. This contact was stimulating her in ways she never began to think possible. As if a hypnotist snapped his fingers to wake her up, her thoughts went back to reality ... to where she was now. Being held in a slightly horrifying yet sensual way by Logan.

"I...it's a bit weird, admittingly. I wouldn't say too much to not tolerate it though." Whether he had meant to or not, her will crumbled with the last words. She hated that because in a way, she had lost her brother. He was dead and not; enough that she knew it'd be pointless to go back to him. Silent tears began falling down her face, her head remaining lowered as they fell down her face and past Logan's hands; the easiest way he would know she had broken down. "....I won't run ... " She finally murmured, a very shaky voice leaving her lips.
 
"I am glad that you can see this situation and the ugly truths that it holds," Logan whispered again. The seductive purr was now gone from his voice, but it was still as gentle as it had been. Now that he had broken that wall of resistance to her captivity, there was no need to continue torturing the poor girl by continuing to confuse her sexuality. Now he could give her the time that she would need to calm herself down, both emotionally and sexually, before they would truly need to be on their way. They would be late for breakfast as it was. Of course, when Logan showed up late with a pretty girl on his arm, noone was going to be surprised. They might assume the worst, but there would be no surprise.

His hands retreated from Asuka's body at last as the young man took a step back and breathed a heavy sigh. "I am also regretful that the truth of this situation must be so heavy. I told you that I want this little gang war to end with as little bloodshed as possible and I had meant that. Right now, your brother might be on the fence about backing out of the Yomi but I fear that doing so will put his life in danger from the more radical members of his crew."

"If the Yomi house such individuals then we need to change our game plan. Getting Shinjiro hurt was never a part of my plan and if that happens then I feel that we might loose a potentially potent ally." With that, Logan stepped around Asuka and started making his way toward the door. He still needed to put his boots on if they were going to be leaving.
 
Asuka & Shinjiro Tsuimori​

Thankfully, Asuka never put on make-up. Because if she had, she would be worse of a wreck than Logan was seeing and hearing. Using her hands, she wiped her tears away, exhaling deeply at the same time. Her eyes stayed closed ... before they finally opened. If that had all been meant to see if he would even need to use the blindfold or not, she would assume - for now - she wouldn't need to worry about wearing it. She knew if he otherwise intended to put it on, he would do so. The 'collar' still being on her leg was proof enough of that.

"...Maybe the better wording is I wouldn't run. But I would like to keep in touch with him ... somehow. If not face-to-face, over the phone or something. But .... " She gave a slow nod, finally regaining all of her composure. "I .. I do understand all the same." Any hints that had been on her face and suggested she had been crying was now completely gone.

Standing behind Logan, she got ready to follow behind him, with or without a blindfold. His words had continued to echo ... and made her reflect on him. He ... wasn't really in danger, was he? She wanted to believe the answer to be no. But she knew - better than Logan - how some of the others could easily be. And that was enough to make her tremble in fear for Shinjiro. Waiting for him to finish anything else he needed to do, she continued taking deep breaths. It'd be pathetic to walk out with him looking so emotionally weak as she actually was now.
 
"You may remove the band from your leg if you wish," Logan said simply as he passed through the doorway and stepped out into the living room. Then, as if reading her mind, he added, "The blindfold will continue to be a necessary precaution when coming or going. I will give you a pass on the shock band, but I will not budge on the blindfold. I do not expect you to wear it while we are at breakfast, while we are shopping, or any other such place. I merely need to keep the location of this place unknown to you."

Logan did not wait to see if Asuka would remove the band. With her will to run broken, and her decision to stay with him made, Logan knew that he would not need such a thing. She would not run, because she would not risk causing an all-out gang war in the streets if Shinjiro went after revenge. On the other hand, she would not risk getting herself and her brother killed, or worse, if she returned to Shinjiro and he decided to quit. Logan knew that Asuka was no longer a flight risk now that she had been made to realize the depths of the situation. The blindfold, however, was still necessary from his perspective.

Logan had never intended to completely cut Asuka off from her brother. She would not be permitted to have her own phone due to the possibility of GPS tracking, but he would allow her to use his often enough to call home. He knew that he would be able to control Shinjiro more easily if he did so through Asuka and he couldn't allow her to slip their location to her brother by giving him street names or landmarks to use to find them. The blindfold was to prevent the latter.

Out in the living room, Logan grabbed his boots from near the door, along with the blindfold and gag that Asuka had left there the night prior. The gag would be unnecessary, so that was tossed atop the end table while the blindfold was slipped into his pocket while he sat down and slipped into his boots. In moments, Logan was ready to go. He would only need to wait for Asuka to let him know that she was calmed down and ready to leave before he blinded her so that they could be on their way.
 
Asuka & Shinjiro Tsuimori​

Staying silent, Asuka gazed down where the 'collar' was, thinking on whether to remove it or not. Even with the consent ... she wanted to start showing signs of faith towards Logan; to show this would - eventually - be needed less often, if not never. Ergo, she kept the 'collar' on anyways. She wouldn't go back on her word; but she would begin to show him, day by day, he hadn't made a mistake removing the cuffs from her wrists. Her head shook no as she remained close behind.

She had continued exhaling deeply and within minutes, she was finally calm enough that she could leave with him and not break down from the stupidest triggers. "...Alright. I'm ready." Closing her eyes once again, her body relaxed as it remained still. All the while, her thoughts never ceased going to Shinjiro. Was he okay? Hopefully the worst thing that had gone on since she last spoke to him was lack of sleep. She really had no idea what she would do if she lost him. She hated his actions, yes. Him as a person? No ... nor could she ever begin to go down that path.

Once Logan finished putting the blindfold on, she gently took hold of an arm. "Um ... you don't mind ... do you?" She asked hesitantly. Somehow, something like this would have had to happen, wouldn't it? Lest, of course, she ran into walls or doors like an idiot. By now, the 'collar' had - indeed - been forgotten about. Regardless of why, she honest didn't remember it was still attached.
 
When Asuka took him by the arm, Logan couldn't help but chuckle softly at the girl's question. "Let's see... I get to walk around with a beautiful young woman on my arm, taking her strides step by step beside me as the rest of the world can only look onward in jealousy. I hardly see how there could be any issues with this situation. Of course, that doesn't mean that I cannot think of any ways to make this an even more enjoyable experience..."

Logan pulled his arm from Asuka's grasp, only to slip the same arm around behind the young woman. His hand rested on Asuka's opposite hip and he began to guide her toward the door. If everyone would be impressed about Asuka being on Logan's arm then they would be even more impressed when they saw the two of them together with Logan's arm around her. It would not be the fact that Logan was with a beautiful girl that surprised them. Logan got more 'tail' than any of the other Bangers - both from the females in the gang and from the more classy women that he picked up at the night clubs. Logan attracted women like honey attracted ants and because of this, he had never been the type to pick just one. To see Logan walking away from the complex with a woman after he had spent the night with her was not a common sight and it was usually with an older, clearly more experienced woman. Imagine what rumors would be going around about the two of them after this...

"I do apologize that the blindfold is necessary," Logan said as he and Asuka walked out into the hallway. "I have no intention of not allowing you to speak with your brother from time to time and because of that, I can't have you dropping hints as to where we are located - intentional or accidental. He would come gunning for you if he knew where to look and I would be forced to protect myself and my family with lethal force. Something about the way that he is actually considering my ultimatum tells me that he would have me kill him before he simply walked away without you and he's more valuable to me alive so long as the Yomi aren't an attachment."
 
Asuka & Shinjiro Tsuimori​

Letting her arm get guided and moved a bit, she soon felt his upon her hip. Her head lowered as the previous crimson that had spread on her cheeks reappeared. "...A..are you really just saying that?" Pausing to think on this, she added gently, "... Why? I mean ... I'm sure you've seen plenty of other women. Why do you think I'm so ... unique compared to the others? Or whatever appropriate adjective you wish to use if not 'unique'?" She was now feeling herself more and more intrigued with him. Asuka was clearly not used to being spoiled by another man that wasn't Shinjiro -- and it showed. She was definitely curious if he was being dead serious ... and not just saying such things because she was within his eyesight and also wasn't his sister.

Making sure she stayed close to his side to avoid any accidental 'run-ins' into doors or walls, she kept her right arm out a bit, in case a railing for stairs of anything of the like would be felt. Her head shook no as she continued carefully walking beside Logan. "It's .... different for certain. But ... not horrible. It would probably - if anything - be the latter. But really, with the way this is all beginning to go ... I wouldn't say anything on purpose. I want this over - somehow - as much as ... a bit more even .... than you. I only say a bit more because I have know Shinjiro longer."

Another weary sigh left her lips. She really didn't want to believe he would be so rash. But ... this was her brother they were speaking of. She had remembered all too well the fit he had ... and that had just been over the phone. She almost dreaded how it would have been if they had been face-to-face. Keeping her head downward, she tried to help Logan figure out ... well, more or less the 'motives' of the Yomi. Thinking back, some seemed shady, others more devoted to Shinjiro. But with gangs, it was easy enough to act, she knew. Merely giving a nod of understanding, she silently took his lead.
 
With the blindfold covering her eyes, and Logan's otherwise gentlemanly attitude thus far, there would have been no way for Asuka to see what was about to happen next coming right for her. As if her questions had tripped a wire inside of Logan's head, he suddenly became a lot more rough with her than he had previously been. He didn't strike her or even do anything that would really hurt her, but that did not change that his motions, if only for a brief moment, were much more aggressive than his previous teasing.

Logan turned and pushed Asuka backward until she collided with that wall. He did not shove her - merely pushed her backward until she was trapped between the brick wall and Logan's body. Both of Logan's hands were on Asuka's hips as he pulled himself close to her and bent his neck down so that he could speak into her ear as he had done before. When he spoke, his voice was once again low and sultry.

"You do not want me to answer those questions Asuka," he said through a playful smirk. "When it comes to matters of the love and lust, I prefer to allow my actions to speak louder than my words and we're rather short on time. If I were to show you how much I truly meant what I have been saying to you all morning then you and I would be in my bedroom for most of the day. Well, we would be together most of the day. We wouldn't necessarily have to be in the bedroom if you wanted to mix things up a little"
 
Asuka & Shinjiro Tsuimori​

Asuka had been continuing to follow Logan's lead ... until she felt a detour of sorts. Moving her hands behind her, she felt a cold surface. As another went forward there was ... fabric? ... Logan's shirt? It wasn't until he spoke that she realized, she literally was against a wall. "Uh ... um ... sorry .... I ... didn't mean ...." She felt her heart race as she pushed herself off from against the wall. "I ... well ... I'm sorry. I'll be quiet if you want me to so we don't get more late than we already are."

Hopefully that would suffice. The voice - she thought anyways - suggested he was liking this perhaps a bit too much. But with the thought and hope that he even admitted he needed to be places having left his lips ... she wouldn't really find herself being forced into anything too rash just yet. She was still - even now - trying to figure out her exact feelings about Logan. She wasn't sure if he was always like this or not ... but it was .... a bit intimidating somehow.

At the same time, it was .... sensual. Again, the sensory deprivation was definitely kicking in and secretly, a part of her wondered if that was one true reason he had also requested her to wear it. Keeping a hand against the wall to avoid being pushed back - if he even tries that again - she hopes he'll resume leading her to where they need to be.
 
A soft brush of Logan's lips against Asuka's cheek quickly followed her apologetic stammering. Though he could have easily planted his lips against Asuka's own soft pink mouth, he once again showed much more restraint and respect than your average thug. If the truth was to be spoken, it was getting increasingly difficult for Logan to behave himself in such a manner. Asuka was a very attractive girl and though Logan did not find her personality appealing the night prior, she had woken up in a much better mood and was taking to her role as a captive woman quite well. Few things got Logan's juices flowing like a nice submissive girl that didn't quite know what she wanted.

Despite this, Logan got ahold of himself and pulled Asuka carefully away from the wall. His arm returned to its place around her waist and he once again began to guide her down the hallway towards the stairs. Most women might have expected Logan to be the one to apologize after a little episode like that, but Logan had done what he had done intentionally. He wanted to Asuka a quick little scare. She was already so confused about him and most women loved men with a touch of danger about them. Why should he not throw a little shock Asuka's way now and then?

"There is no need to feel like you have to keep quiet," Logan said calmly as the duo neared the end of the hall. "You're going to be stuck with me until we can sort this mess with your brother out and get it handled so we had might as well enjoy one another's company, right? I just wanted to stress the point that I try not to say things that I do not really mean. I have told the occasional white lie, of course, such as the implied threat to your brother that I might hurt you if he didn't comply. I have no intention of harming you, but allowing him believe that I might suits my purpose. Simple things such as compliments, however, don't leave my lips as empty words."
 
Asuka & Shinjiro Tsuimori​

Out of embarrassment more than anything, Asuka quickly went quiet. Thankfully, he did begin to lead her to the destination again. With how long the two had been silent, she nearly jumped as she heard his voice again. "I .. sorry. This .... is still going to take a while to get used to. And.... " Her head bowed as a low sigh left. "Nothing against you but ... it pains me with the mere possibility that, regardless of why, I .... am probably never going to go back. I.... really don't want to believe Shinjiro will continue to be an idiot. But .... "

Her head merely shook as she added softly, "....Sometimes he's too stubborn to admit he's wrong and swallow his pride. And .... I really am afraid he's going to let that get the better of him. Or something regarding the others if not him. It's ... heartbreaking in a way. I feel like ... I'm in quite the lose-lose situation. And it's frustrating knowing I can't do more than sit back in a corner and hope. Please... just give me a bit more time and I'll gladly do that back, with getting used to being around you and these .... 'rules'."

Giving a soft nod, she allowed Logan to keep guiding her. "I ... do not doubt your words, especially on harming me. But ... thank you for the reassurance all the same." Her head shook as she wondered about re-wording what her original question had been... but decided against it in the end. "Sorry ... about that. I probably worded that rather badly. I definitely didn't mean to though."
 
"We're going to do something about your brother, Asuka," Logan said as the two of them neared the first set of stairs. "I want to put an end to the activities of the Yomi and I want to get that ragtag band of trash off of my streets, but your brother is a... 'person of interest'. He's a cut above the rest and when this is all said and done, I would like to believe that it would be possible to bring him in and turn his skills into an asset for my own crew. I know that I am not off to a good start, but as I have already said, this whole scenario where we kidnap his baby sister wasn't exactly part of my plan. Again, I didn't even know that you existed before yesterday."

When the two of them reached the stairs, Logan stopped and guided Asuka around to stand in front of him. Unlike Roselyn, whom did not have Logan's upper body strength, Logan was not going to try walking a blindfolded woman down a set of stairs and pray that she didn't fall down them and break her neck. Asuka was small-framed enough to offer Logan a much better alternative. One second, Asuka was standing there at the top of the stairs and the next she was being scooped up into Logan's arms in the same fashion that a husband would use to carry his bride over the threshold.

"If my goals are met," Logan continued, "Then would it be so bad to remain here? I am not stupid, Asuka, and I can tell that I have caught your attention. Furthermore, I believe that I have made my own interest and intentions quite clear for you. Now, I have never been the kind to settle down, but I do have the capability to be faithful to a woman with the patience or stupidity to put up with me on a more long-term basis and I do agree that you will be with me for some time. Perhaps we could come to some kind of arrangement?"

Logan certainly hadn't been shy earlier when he intended to strip in front of Asuka and it didn't seem like he was going to be any more humble now. His tone was calm and, as far as anyone would be able to tell, he was being completely serious as he casually suggested that he and Asuka 'shack up' despite having only met one another.
 
Asuka & Shinjiro Tsuimori​

"Thank you..." She murmured, the feeling of a railing catching her hand. .. Stairs? Probably. She couldn't think of much else that would need them. She gave a nod as she listened to him in regards of how he felt about rest of Yomi versus her brother. Finally she felt herself moved ... in front? ... He knows what he's doing ... She silently reminded herself. She expected his hand to go from her hip to maybe another hand or some better place to guide her down.

So when instead she found herself in his arms, it definitely took her off-guard. "I.... never thought you were stupid." Her heart raced as her head looked downward, thinking on this. She had, admittingly, been trying to figure her views on Logan out. Even with the few scares he'd given her thus far, in the end there were more pros than cons about him. He also seemed - as he pointed out - genuinely concerned and caring for her. Almost as much as Shinjiro; just he wasn't related to her.

"I.... well.... what ... kind of arrangement do you mean exactly?" When it came to intimate matters, the poor girl only had mangas and a few erotic books to go off of. But she absolutely never gazed at porn; most did so out of lust and therefore she viewed it as a sinful item of sorts. Allowing her head to find his shoulder and rest on it, she gave a slow nod. "I ... think ... I can give it a try ...."
 
Logan had to stifle a chuckle when Asuka told him that she could 'give his arrangement a try'. Never before had he encountered an abducted woman who was so easily unhinged by his sexual advances or seemed so clueless about what he had been talking about when he would make subtle sexual suggestions. It only reinforced his belief that Asuka might be a virgin, despite her absolutely gorgeous appearance. Of course, Logan didn't intend to give her a choice on the matter, which might have been why he found her thoughts on it funny. Now that Asuka wasn't in bitch mode, Logan had decided that he liked her well enough and as far as Logan was concerned, Asuka belonged to him now. If he wanted to do something to or with her, then he would do so with or without consent.

"I'm not going to lie to you, Asuka," Logan said in a rather serious and authoritative tone as he rounded the corner at the bottom of the stairwell and continued downward on another flight. Yes, the building could be scaled from the first to the third floor in one set. Roselyn had traveled across the second floor to the other stairwell the night before to buy more time alone with Asuka to prepare the little asian woman for her meeting with Logan. Most of the Bangers, Rose included, never got to see how tenderly he treated female 'guests' in his home.

"The question was more of a courtesy than anything and I wasn't exactly asking your permission or thoughts on the matter. The little fit that you threw last night made me want nothing more than to get rid of you, but I can understand why you would be so agitated and defensive. I've wiped that slate clean and so far since I woke you up to call Shinjiro, I have only seen things that I like. With that in mind, you will be mine."

Asuka felt herself, once again, confused. If he didn't intend to have her consent, why bring up the arrangement to begin with? Wait a second! Her mind was so torn, trying to figure out if she should go back to being angry or not. What kind of man was bold enough to admit he would be so selfish to take what he wanted, without even bothering to consider gaining consent from the other? Were it not for the knowledge of how the other Yomi had viewed her for so long - and the 'collar' still being on her thigh - the urge to run had definitely come back.

This was becoming more and more like a modern version of both Romeo & Juliet and Romeo x Juliet, the latter being an anime and manga with slight twists. Though for the most part, the two were very similar. She seemed to be Juliet, Shinjiro - though her brother - definitely had the fiery attitude of the Juliet's cousin, Tybalt and Logan ... a very twisted Romeo. Her head stayed upon his shoulder as his words, mainly the last ones, repeated and echoed in her mind. She knew how she should react ... but gods help her, she was genuinely scared. He had given more than enough subtle hints of how easy it could be to get choked out by him.

Trying to keep her voice as calm as possible, she finally found enough courage to speak. "...If you weren't going to care about my permission, then what exactly did you mean about making an arrangement?" That part had to have been brought up for some reason ... right? Maybe ... this could be talked out. She'd been able to do that thus far with him. But poor Asuka ... really was, though hiding it, a bit angry. "With that in mind, you will be mine." His words had never once stopped repeating in her mind and more than anger, she wasn't sure if she should be even more scared of Logan. She didn't know if this meant he'd seriously intend to rape her or what ... and it was taking every ounce of will power to avoid trembling while he held her.
 
Logan had made it to the bottom of the stairs at about the time that Asuka had managed to choke out her question and, for a moment, he was quiet while he sat the girl down. Logan was as gentle as he had been setting her down as he was picking her up, displaying a tenderness that one would not expect from a man whom had just said the kind of things that he had said moments sooner. Clearly, he could be as dangerous as Roselyn had warned Asuka about; being the leader of a gang should have been proof of that. Though it was also clear that Rose hadn't given the asian woman the whole truth of the matter. Hell, maybe even Rose didn't have Logan completely figured out.

Once Asuka was down, Logan stepped up beside her and put his arm around her back as he had done before so that she couldn't run. Honestly though, he did not believe that she would even try given the current situation. She had neglected to even remove the shock band even though she had been given permission.

"I brought it up because we're going to be spending a lot of time together," Logan answered as he began to guide Asuka once more through the complex. "My apartment is the only one suitable to house a person of great interest, such as yourself, and so you will be required to stay with me for the duration of your time here. That is going to make certain activities a little difficult - activities that I do not plan to simply cease. Though I will take what I want through force if I have to, I was hoping that it would not come to that if it can be avoided. Would that not be ideal for you as well, or do you harbor a rape fantasy that you are hoping that I will fulfill?"
 
Asuka & Shinjiro Tsuimori​

So the one night she slept in the bed ... would probably be the last - one of them anyways - she would be alone. Or that was what it certainly sounded like. As her feet felt the floor, her head left Logan's shoulder. Going silent again, she exhaled softly as he better explained himself. ... I suppose he's honest and knows what he wants ... She would definitely give the man credit where it was due; in the case of his personality and desires, he was ... well, himself. No question on that and because Shinjiro was like that, she understood and respected that fine.

She was glad she hadn't had anything with her to drink, otherwise she definitely would have spat it out at the rape scenario. "N-no I .. I don't think ... I ... " And then she realized .... the 'no' was more like a curious 'maybe'. Gods why though?! Was something wrong with her? She'd always been taught it was worse to lie to oneself but .... would it be even more horrid if she outright admitted part of her was somewhat curious? 'Um ... I ... don't ...." Her cheeks quickly began turning crimson again as she tried to figure herself out along with what was even making her consider the mere possibility.

Part of her was thinking it had been because she had definitely had it attempted on her. But ... why would she want it to get finished? Her lack of never having had a boyfriend before now was definitely not making this easier; that much she could say for sure. Her head shook no as she murmured lowly, "I ... I'm not sure. I feel like I barely know myself anymore." And that revelation terrified her. Was this a part of growing up she had just never known of? Never before now had her usually innocent mind even dared to contemplate such a thing. Yet here she was seriously considering taking up the offer?! "I ... need to think ... figure myself out ..." She finally admitted, hoping that would suffice for now as she continued following Logan.
 
Logan hadn't been at all serious when he had suggested that Asuka might harbor some sort of fantasy regarding Logan forcing himself upon her and seizing what he wanted. He would do it, of course, but he was taken by surprise when Asuka did not get upset with him for suggesting such a thing as every other woman before her had. The mere possibility that the question had shook something loose inside of Asuka's pretty little head and made her realize that she had a twisted deviant living in the back recesses of her mind both astounded and intrigued Logan. He would just have to carry out his subtle threat to make Asuka his if she could not give him a straight answer. He would not allow the girl to leave that side of herself unexplored and unknown. If Asuka hadn't already sealed her fate with him before, she certainly had now.

"I wouldn't dwell on the idea for long, Asuka," Logan said simply in a softer tone that was clearly meant to bring some sort of comfort or reassurance to the girl. "If you don't already know the answer to that question, then you clearly haven't got the experience needed to know what it is that you want. You could spend days trying to sort that part of yourself out and not find the answers that you're looking for. Regardless, the answer will come to you when I decide that I can no longer restrain myself before your radiance. When that time comes, if you find that the answer is 'yes', then don't allow yourself to be ashamed or embarrassed. There is no shame in embracing your deviant self."

The two reached the doors of the complex at last. There was a small group of Bangers coming home from a long night out and when they saw Logan coming, they stopped to hold the door for him and his guest. Just as the racers had done the night before when Roselyn rolled up and pulled Asuka from the trunk, the group whistled and stared. "At it again, Logan?" one of them could be heard saying. "What a piece of ass," muttered another. There was at least one woman among the crowd because a feminine voice could be heard before the doors closed behind them, "A night with Logan - lucky bitch."

The wind outside was stronger than it had been the night before and the ocean air held an undeniable chill as it washed in over the port city. Logan was quite happy that he had thought to buy Asuka some of the more sensible clothes that he had seen that he liked. What was the use of enjoying the scenery if it caused the girl to catch a cold?
 
Asuka & Shinjiro Tsuimori​

Giving Logan a nod, she remained silent as the sound of doors opening hinted they had finally arrived. She would try to use the time, knowing she probably wouldn't need to say much if anything at all, to seriously think. She had never had the chance to properly learn Psychology; so she would, it seemed, try to self-teach herself. Her crimson cheeks got darker as she tried to ignore the words... catcalls rather. Catcalls? Some form of greeting is the point ... Exhaling softly through her nose, she remained close to Logan. He seemed to have an overall good grip on things; but just from her own experience with Yomi and knowing some of the others had been bold and stupid enough to try things in front of Shinjiro - or while he was nearby - she didn't want to risk that. Right?

And her head began to feel like it was swimming frantically. What ... is going on? She forced her hands to remain at her sides; she didn't want to look crazy in front of all these people by suddenly grabbing her head and trying to understand herself. The breeze, along with her steady breathing, helped her remain calm. First and foremost .... trace the considerations ... As her mind dove back through memories, the best lead she could seem to get was even before Yomi; when her and Shinjiro had to resort to stealing. Even back then, a few men had tried to force themselves on her. But even back then, Shinjiro was still strong; enough to get others off of her. The older ones, he had to resort to more dire measures; but no matter how beat up he wound up getting or what he ended up doing, in the end she had been safe.

So ... why am I considering allowing the exact opposite? The same answer as to why she would even allow Logan a chance was all she could hear; despite his scares he had given her, he did show he cared a great deal for her. True he sometimes had some slightly unorthodox thoughts; but she couldn't only point fingers at him when she herself was beginning to realize she may also. Before having met Logan, the only person she would have considered being a lover to would have been Shinjiro; if incest weren't a crime, that is. But since that was the case, she had never seriously considered allowing anyone to get close to her.

But maybe ... she should stop being stubborn in that aspect. Just this kidnapping alone had opened her eyes with one realization; she wouldn't be able to remain safe forever. And while she could fight ... it wasn't at all her forte. So maybe ... finding someone whom would - regardless of how - make sure no harm came from anyone to her ... wouldn't be such a bad idea. And Logan most certainly fit that description.

Still though .... did she really want rape? They say you can't rape the willing also ... so .... wouldn't it be just rough sex? That was the aspect she was having the hardest time trying to figure out; if that was really, truly what she wanted. And between Logan's hint and everything dawning on her, she knew he was right. She would have to think fast. Remaining silent to allow Logan to speak to his members, she allowed her mind to keep thinking and contemplating silently.
 
Much to Asuka's discomfort, Logan imagined, the catcalls and whistles did not stop when the door closed behind them. Though the group that had been causing the fuss was inside, there was a whole crowd of people outside who erupted into a whole mix of things when they noticed Logan walking out of the complex with an attractive woman on his arm; an attractive woman wearing a blindfold, no less. Some of them were whistling and making catcalls that weren't even distinguishable above the rest of the noise. Others seemed to be cheering and congratulating Logan on finding such a tight piece of ass. Still others, the women of the group, were booing with jealousy.

Logan didn't pay the crowd any mind as he walked Asuka across the parking lot toward his car. Though Asuka couldn't see it, she was being taken to a vehicle that was nearly identical to the one that she had been shoved into the trunk of the day prior; save for the color, transmission, and lack of nitrous. Logan drove a two-thousand and twelve Ford Mustang, just like his sister, though his was black with a standard five-speed stick shift.

When they reached the car, Logan opened the door for Asuka and tried to help her into the passenger seat. Between the being forced to strip in front of Logan, which Asuka probably didn't realize was not the case, and the rather open threats of being raped, it would have been easy for any woman to think that nothing would go right today. If nothing else, at least Logan was letting Asuka ride in a seat instead of the trunk as they drove around town today. That was a plus, right?

Once Asuka was in the car, Logan shut the passenger door for her and walked around to slide into the driver seat. When he, too, was in the car, Logan heaved a heavy sigh.

"Sorry about my crew," the young man said as he slid the key into the ignition. "My crew... They're mostly kids off of the streets just like us, but most of them don't have siblings and growing up alone on the streets just seems to result in a different breed of person. Most of the men only care about money, drinking, fighting, racing, and sex. They see it all as a marks of power to increase their position in life. On the other hand, most of the women only care about being the top dog's little bitch. I am sure that you are familiar with the type, having watched Shinjiro grow the Yomi."
