I was on my shift and was making a whiskey for the customer, I stared at the clock, it was ten thirty, I still had half and hour till I can go home.

The bar has a lot of customer tonight, the other guys had been busy waiting the customer as Boss was in the kitchen cooking.

"Sex on the beach please!" A customer yelled and I nodded at his direction as Hiro laughed loudly.

"Are you okay doing this?" Hiro said cheekily.

'Why woudn't I?' I ask.

"Because..." Before he could answer my question Takuto scowled at Hiro,"I promised to help out and all you do is chatting? I'm outta here!"

"Wait Takuto, I was just taking a break." Hiro pleaded as I mixed the drinks together.

"Well I am too." Takuto huffed sitting on the stool.

"Your drink, sir." I say putting the drink in front of him. Just then, Kenshi smiled and came over to us,"What are you guys doing? Slacking off?"

"Yes I am, problem?" Takuto snorted.

Kenshi didn't reply to him and disappeared inside the kitchen, Riki dragged Hiro back to his feet, "Come on, break's over, there's tons of customers tonight."

Boss came out of the kitchen and said,"Come on Takkun, it's just for one day." and Takuto glares at him,"Fine, one day only, but you owe me a year of pork noodles." 

"Deal," Boss said happily and they started working again. I mixed up the drinks quickly, the orders were getting faster as I struggled to remember the recipe.

"Vodka..." I mumbled fumbling the cabinet. I found it and start mixing it into the drink.

"Its already eleven, you can go home now." Boss grins at me. I quietly said a thank you as I slipped out of the bar.

"Where is it?" I said biting my lip, I couldn't find my bracelet anywhere, I think I left it at the bar, I took it off to make the drinks, and then I left it on the counter, I couldn't believe I was so careless, I mentally curse myself as I decided to go back to the bar and get back my bracelet.

It was already eleven fifteen so I had to be quick, grabbing my car keys, I hurried downstairs.

"Hm?" It was already closed, it didn't close until it was twelve, why was today the exception?

I timidly knocked the door, there wasn't an answer but the light was on and I could hear somebody talking inside. Without a second thought, I pushed the door inside.

"There isn't anything we can't do, we are the Black Foxes!" I heard Hiro yell.

"Crap, I told you to shut up! I knew somebody was knocking!" Takuto yelled.

The air in the bar was frozen from Takuto's outburst, everyone looked shocked, it was Riki who first reacted.

He lunged towards me, grabbing by the shoulder and pushed me against the wall, his tone was husky yet firm at the same time,"You heard something you shouldn't have and you're going to pay for it." He pulled out a black cloth and put it directly below my nose, I was struggling furiously but his grip on me was strong. Inhaling the sweet scent, my vision fell completely black.

"You don't have to do that, you know, she is a lady." Hiro said frowning as he watched Krystal has dropped down onto the floor.

"I know, I was just really frustrated that somebody overheard us." I said with a sigh. I felt a pang of guilt because of my actions. I wondered if she was hurt.

"It wasn't her fault though, if a certain someone didn't scream so loud!' Takuto glared at Hiro and he shrugged carelessly,"I didn't know somebody was going to come back here! Besides, why did she came back here anyway?"

"She left this." Boss said and we averted our gaze to Boss, he was holding a silver chain, attached to it was a piece of crystal.

Hiro neared Boss and softly took the pendant away from him, I was kind of shocked actually, Hiro snatched the things out of Boss's hands, but he didn't this time.

After a few seconds of silence, Hiro finally spoke up,"That's why she was so worried, it's a real crystal and that's not even a point," He pointed to a small diamond which was in the middle of the snowflake shaped necklace,"It's a pink star diamond, its extremely rare and of course, very expensive." (Picture on the side if you wanna see :D)

Before one of us could say something, Krystal stir in her sleep, I had binded her hands and legs, her eyes flied open, her eyes was shooting daggers at me and I look away nervously.

"Hey, you're up." Boss said with a grin.

"Yeah, sure am, am I a prisoner or something?" She says.

"No, we just need to ask you a favour." Kenshi piping up.

"We need you to, join Black Foxes." Takuto said rolling his eyes in the process.

Instead of screaming at us or bursting into tears, she started laughing."Me? Why do you want me?"

"You overheard our conversation, I already told you you're going to pay for it." I blurted out the words before I could stop myself, why do I keep on doing that?

"Okay." She said with a shrug,"No problem."

"Okay, first, I need you to punch someone in the room, it can be anyone really, I just want to see your fighting skills." Boss rambled on. I'm pretty sure she's going to beat up me.

"I didn't agreed to that!' Takuto objected. Boss whispered something to Takuto's ear, he nodded faintly, with a frown still on his face.

"I'm bind, do you expect me to stare them down with my superpowers, if so, I'm sorry I don't have any." She replied.

"Okay, sorry." Kenshi said easily taking off the cuffs. She eyed everyone in the room, and she spoke carefully,"Just one punch will do right?"

"What? You can't throw a punch? What a loser." Takuto huffed.

Before anyone could react to Takuto's words, a punch thrown him sideways and he tumbled onto the floor with a thud, I walked over to him carefully, Krystal was still glaring at him, I swatted my hand over Takuto's eyes. Nothing.

"He passed out." I told them, the whole room cracked up.

"Deal?' Krystal asked mischievously.

"Deal." I said with a smile on my face.
