Reclaim!

Fanzer's eyes groggily opened as his mind slowly began clearing from the fog of sleep. He was nonchalant for a moment of ignorance, but that ignorance was quickly swept away by a veil of reality.

He looked around to see that he was strapped down to a metal chair, in a room that he didn't know. It had a bed, a window, a television, and a desk. It generally looked like the type of room that would be in a friend's house.

However, there was something very unsettling about the room.

All around, there was pictures of himself pasted all over the walls and ceiling. They were all over, with the word "mine" pasted over each picture there.

Oh, and Jumin was there too, strapped down in a seat that looked similar to Fanzer's.

Fanzer let out a little sigh of relief as he noticed that Jumin was knocked out with him as well, and that they were brought to a similar area.

Granted, he would've done a lot of things to wake up in the comfort of his own home, or in Kotone's loving arms, but he counted his blessings and moved on.

He was about to try and call out to Jumin, glad that his mouth wasn't gagged up, but the door to the room opened before he could. Unfortunately, the person who was walking through the door was Emma.

Fanzer didn't even have anything to say as his heart sunk down to his stomach.

"Hello, my love. Don't you love it here?" Emma asked Fanzer, walking over to him and leaning over to him, just a few inches away from a kiss.

Fanzer had already pulled his head back, but after hitting the headrest of the seat he had nowhere else to flee to. He could only wait disdainfully as Emma forced him into a completely awful situation.

After a moment of looking into Fanzer's clearly defiant eyes, Emma let out a laugh.

"Ah, I do love that look in your eyes. Everything I do will be worth it once that look is aimed at that awful witch," Emma's words had venom laced into them. It was clear to Fanzer who she was talking about.

"Trust me, he'll never look at a skank like you like he does with Kotone. She has something you definitely don't, a personali―" Jumin's little speech was cut short as Emma let out an angry yell and, in an instant, a knife was pointing towards Jumin's neck. It prodded him just enough to lightly draw blood.

Jumin let out a light, awkward laugh. He was staring down death, and he wasn't particularly interested in doing it for any longer than he had to.

"Tch, you've ruined it. I'll be back, my love," Emma left the room after planting a sickeningly loving kiss on Fanzer's head.

Fanzer and Jumin both looked at one another in silence. They had so many things to say, but their relationship as brothers connected them on a level that was impossible for others.

They had one though in their minds.

"We've gotta find a way to get out of that window."

Kotone, Kazane, and Asami stood in front of a towering skyscraper.

"They're at the top, huh?" Asami asked, receiving a silent nod from Kotone.

Kazane let out a sigh, "I didn't expect to have any more problems with this wretched family. Not after I made that old witch regret taking my husband from me."

Asami turned to face Kazane after hearing her comment.

"Your husband is the CEO of the Shinra Corporation?! Is that why you guys are so loaded?!" Asami asked, the scale of the situation finally dawning on her.

"Emma Shinra's mother seduced my father and took him from us. At that point, we already had enough money to live several lifetimes without worrying. We wouldn't have dealt with them again but... Emma overstepped her bounds. That's where we are now. We're going to go save my Fanzer and your Jumin. Let's move," Kotone told Asami, beginning to walk to the base of the Shinra Corporation building.

"W-W-Wait a second! Are we just gonna go in there and demand to see Fanzer and Jumin at the very top like it's nothing?! That's clearly not gonna work!" Asami yelled, only to become silent as Kazane laid her hand on Asami's shoulder.

"If they don't let us go up, there's clearly only one other choice. We'll force our way up," Kazane grinned, as if such a situation were far more interesting to her.

"What she said," Kotone agreed without stopping, pushing her way through the front door to meet several men and women in suits, seemingly waiting for them.

Asami and Kazane came in a second later, but by that point, all the guards were already laid out on the floor, unconscious.

"H-Huh?!" Asami expressed her utter surprise, noticing the many men and women sprawled on the ground, groaning in pain.

"They weren't gonna let us up anyways," Kotone shrugged, walking over the unconscious bodies of her enemies without a second glance.

"You should watch this happen. She has far more potential than I did at her age. This will be the very first time to see her fully embrace her skills. It's truly gonna be a beautiful sight to see," Kazane whispered in Asami's ear before walking behind her daughter, preparing to head up the levels of the Shinra Corporation tower.

"She's so... strong," Asami thought before she shook her head and caught up to Kotone and Kazane.

"Fanzer, my darling, do you love me?" Emma sat on Fanzer's lap, clearly trying to get a metaphorical and physical rise out of him.

"Do you think I love you?" Fanzer asked, but his question brought Emma a lot more joy than he expected it to.

"Of course you do! Why else would you be here if you didn't absolutely love me? That's why we're gonna get married, having beautiful children, and live out our lives with each other without worrying about anyone else!" Emma laughed before she quieted down, getting very close to Fanzer before nestling her face into his neck.

"After all that hard work, I can finally have you. At one point I cared about grades, but that's all irrelevant in the face of our love. I can't believe I gave my virginity to anyone else except you. Don't worry, I'll make sure to kill them for you. I'll kill anyone you want me to," Emma's words were sharp but soft. She meant everything she was saying, and despite trying not to sound ominous, her words caused an unwilling shiver to shoot up Fanzer's spine.

Because of Fanzer's lack of a response, Emma continued.

"Honestly, I would even kill myself for you. If all I had to do was die so that we could live in the afterlife together forever, it would be easy. Do you want me to die? I'll die, just for you," Emma rose her head from Fanzer's neck and held her knife up to her neck, making sure to break her own skin as she slowly pulled the knife across her neck.

It was only a surface wound, but the action shook Fanzer to his bones. He knew Emma was crazy, but he didn't think that she was so crazy that her own life was merely something to be thrown away to her.

"Do you want me to die, my love? I'll make our wish come true! It doesn't matter if I die here, we're guaranteed to meet in the afterlife anyways. Should I just die, Fanzer?" Emma asked, a truly distorted sense of love in her eyes.

However much Fanzer didn't like Emma, he spoke what true to him.

"N-No! Don't kill yourself," Fanzer didn't give Emma a reason, or even tell her that he cared for her. All he told her to do was not kill herself, but that was enough for the love-starved girl.

"Aww, my darling wants me to stay with him? Don't worry. As long as you're alive, I promise I'll stay by your side. I'll kill anyone who comes in between us," As if it were destined to happen, Emma received a notification on her phone.

Without a bit of hesitation, Emma opened her phone and let Fanzer look at her phone. Her background was yet another picture of Fanzer, but more importantly than that, she'd received a text message from a contact named "Disposable Trash."

The message said something that caused Fanzer's heart to start thumping wildly.

"The Endou family and a girl are climbing to the top," The message warned Emma.

The smile on Emma's face slowly faded as she read the message. She let out a small sigh before getting up from Fanzer's lap and put her index finger underneath Fanzer's chin, lightly guiding him to look up towards her.

"Ah, I love that look in your eyes," Emma licked her lips before leaving the room without a second glance.

After a moment of silence, Fanzer looked over to the generally silent Jumin and nodded.

Without a second of hesitation, Jumin pulled his right hand out of his restraints, then his left hand.

Emma's infatuation with Fanzer gave her strength. However, it also was her biggest weakness.

Because of that weakness, she didn't give Jumin a single glance over all the time she was sitting on Fanzer's lap.

That would be the reason why Jumin and Fanzer were about to escape from her containment.

-----

Kotone flipped over two of the many guards and slammed their heads into the ground before spinning around and kicking another in their head, slamming their head against the wall.

She didn't even take a breath before tripping another guard and allowing their head to slam into the floor. Just to make sure they were unconscious, she stomped on their head.

"Does she ever stop?" Asami asked Kazane as the two took out some guards of their own.

"Well, she's also limiting herself a fair amount," Kazane admitted as she punched one of the guards in the face, breaking their nose and sending them sprawling across the ground.

"Huh?" Asami lightly ducked underneath a punch before she kicked at her aggressor's knees and watched their form crumble. It was just a swift chop to the neck before they fell unconscious.

"We're not killing anyone. In my good old days, each and every one of these guards would've died because they messed with a loved one. Unfortunately, we're sticking to a strict no killing rule for our sweet Fanzer's mental state," Kazane let out a loving sigh as Fanzer passed through her mind.

"If we were killing...." Asami began, and gladly, she didn't have to finish.

"We would've been eating dinner at this point. Either that or washing the blood out our clothes," Kazane shrugged, as if the situation were nothing more special than an average Tuesday.

Asami's eyes widened as she looked at Kotone's back.

"I guess I should be glad that she didn't kill me when I attacked her...." She thought before beginning to catch up with the determined Kotone.

After a few more levels of climbing, the group was officially halfway up the Shinra Corporation tower. Being only halfway up, they expected to have a long way to go until they reached their destination, but the person who started the whole fiasco was waiting for the retrieval group.

Emma was sitting on a chair in the sight of the stairs. She was simply waiting for the group to come to her, and they finally arrived.

"Ah, how I've been waiting for the bitch brigade to arrive," Emma smirked, but before she could say anything else, Kotone's fist slammed into her face.

"Where's my boyfriend?!" Kotone roared, only to receive an answer from a comfortingly familiar voice.

"I'm right here Kotone," Fanzer called out from atop of the stairs, lightly panting as he spoke.

"I'm here too," Jumin grinned, holding up a peace sign to his shocked girlfriend.

This looked to be the end of this endeavor.

However, in a situation like this one, Emma's desire to keep Fanzer only grew.

In an instant, Emma rose from her spot and slammed Asami's head into the ground, surprising Kazane and Kotone, who couldn't help but let down her guard in Fanzer's presence.

Before even the experienced Kazane could react, Emma quickly stabbed her in her thighs with two separate knives and then buried a knife into the woman's stomach.

"H-Huh?" After an instant, there was only Emma and Kotone, and the energy of the area became tense and thick.

This was an unfortunate event about to unfold.
