Kaz & Stasja & Others

After dropping the hunted coyotes off in the truck, Kaz and Stasja entered the Night Club. The smell of spicy food filled the building, along with cigarette smoke and beer. Stasja, still covered in blood, went straight to the bar and ordered a drink.

"What the hell happened to you, Stasja?" Shasta asked, looking at her friend from her seat near the bar.
"Hunting accident. I'm fine." It was really a lie to avoid the hospital - she wasn't fine, but she hated hospitals.
Arkadiy was there as well, already ordering his third liquor. He was only beginning to feel the effects of drunkenness. Shasta, however, could not drink, as she was pregnant. It wasn't showing yet, though. She stuck to a glass of soda.

Kaz took a look around, observing the other people in the bar. It wasn't too crowded, but he still hated public spaces. With a sigh, he sat down in a booth and rested his head on the table.

Sasuke Uchiha

Sasuke had decided to follow the two and took up a seat at a booth in the back of the place. He saw Shasta easily. He could never forget her looks. He had had feelings for her so long ago. He had loved her and ever since her he hadn't opened his heart. He watched Shasta from where he sat. He ordered a vodka with coke.

Arkadiy & Others

For the most part, the bar was quiet. Shasta and Stasja engaged in small talk: the weather, work, the hunting trip, and other trivial topics. It was when Sasuke came in that there was a sense of tension. Arkadiy - formerly known as Adrian, but operating under a pseudonym - turned around to see who had just entered. When he saw that Sasuke had his eye on Shasta, he stood up and walked to Sasuke's booth, rolling up his sleeves to prepare for a fight if one were to start. "Are you having fun staring at my wife? Stop that bullshit before I stop it for you."

Shasta sunk back into the corner of her booth, and Stasja soon joined her to protect her should there be trouble.

Kaz lifted his head up, eying Sasuke and Arkadiy. "What the fuck is this all about?" His eyes were bloodshot and had dark circles under them, evidence that he had not slept in some time.

Sasuke

Sasuke wasn't sure what he wanted or why he really came. His eyes went to the male approaching him and it only took him a few moments to reconize who it was and he chuckled and leaned back as his eyes now stayed on him. Sure, I suppose. Hows seconds feel? Im sure eventually when she fears for her life she'll toss you too even though your married. You know she is known to do that.. Oh wait I think you do know that. He said calmly. He wasn't sure what he felt toward Shasta even now. For the time being his anger problem was under wraps he was just trying to have some fun.

Arkadiy & Others

Arkadiy's blood boiled at Sasuke's snarky behavior. His fists were clenched and he was having a hard time not punching Sasuke's teeth in right now. "She left you because you're a dick. I treat her right. You're no more than common slaughterhouse swine. Fuck off before shit goes down." He took a step forward, eager for a fight, but is was Shasta who made the next move. The woman stood up, stormed toward Sasuke and attempted to punch him in the face. "You leave Arkadiy alone. You've got some nerve showing your face around here. And that high and mighty attitude of yours is going to get you into more trouble than you already are. I ditched you because you had no respect for those around you. You're a criminal. A narcissist. A sociopath." She then began swinging her fists again and again, trying to severely injure Sasuke.

"Shasta-- Shasta, no!" Stasja raced over and tried to pull her friend away, but it was no use. Kaz, a bit confused about the situation, stayed on the sidelines. However, he secretly pulled out his knife, a family heirloom passed down for generations, which was surprisingly still razor sharp.

Sasuke

Sasuke glared now and his eyes seemed to darken. I treated her fine. I never harmed her. I loved her till the day she turned her back on me all because of you and your palsHe growled. But it wasn't Adrian he had to deal with but Shasta and he let her first one hit. However he stood and moved out of the way.

,B> I had respect for you! You were the only one I had ever cared about that way and you just went and fucked everything up! Your friends are criminals and sociopaths as well.

He snarled out. He wanted to harm her but he didn't .I have as much right being here as you do. You have no heart bitchHe growled.. Your a known heart breaker girl and I assure you HE paused and looked at Adrian.Will be learning the hard way and I can't wait to see it happen.He said keeping his distance from them. However; his eyes were dark and brooding but he wouldn't harm shasta.

Shasta & Others

Shasta shook her hand, feeling pain in her knuckles from the punch. She clenched her teeth, then charged at Sasuke and tried to pin him to the wall. Arkadiy joined in, attempting to aid his wife in pinning Sasuke against the wall.

"Oh boo hoo hoo, cry me a river. Go back to your mother for that Hallmark bullshit." Shasta's words were like venom as she hissed. "I've moved on to a better life away from you, you egocentric asshole. Your gang killed Dimitri's little sister. She was twelve years old. Twelve! My friends love me. You just used me to get at my friends and family."

Kaz remained silent for the most part, listening in on the argument. With Sasuke engaged in an argument with Shasta, he jumped over the table and attempted to stab his knife into Sasuke's shoulder using the techniques he learned while in the Russian special forces, being careful to avoid hitting his allies.

Sasuke

He moved away before Shasta could pin him but Arkadiy on the other hand had been succesful and he grunted glaring at the both of them. His hands in fists and they shook. Back away nowHe growled in warning. I did not use you but you know what Im not gonna try to convince you of that cause I know you don't care for the truth! Then Kaz's move with a knife now in his shoulder he lost it. He kicked out at adrian. wrong fucking move!He snarled out.

Arkadiy & Others

Arkadiy tightened his grip on Sasuke, trying to hold his arms down should he try something. He was shaking with rage. This was the most hatred he had ever felt. "SHUT UP! Don't talk to my wife anymore! Don't even look at her!" He never took his eyes off of Sasuke for fear that he'd try something. Sure enough, Sasuke kicked him in the shin. He recoiled, but never let go of his enemy.

That was it for Shasta. That pushed her over the edge. She grabbed Stasja's pistol, went around to the side of Sasuke and aimed the gun at his head. "Give me one good reason I shouldn't kill you right now, you lowlife bastard." She wasn't bluffing. The certainly would pull the trigger.

Sasuke

His rage was boiling and his hands were trembling and then he stopped struggling as Shasta pointed a pistol at his head. His eyes connected with her and he just smiled. An actual genuine smile not an evil sadistic one. There is no real reason. However; I had never harmed you whether you want to remember and believe that is up to. Go ahead shoot me. HE said just smiling his hands not shaking any more.

Shasta & Others

Arkadiy nodded to Shasta, giving her the signal to shoot. But when Sasuke turned to look at Shasta, he attempted to grab Sasuke by the throat. "I said keep your eyes off of her, motherfucker!"

Shasta hesitated for a moment, but then scowled. "Wipe that smile off of your face, Sasuke. I'm not your bitch anymore. Get on your knees. I want to make this count." She gestured down at the floor, and Arkadiy made to push Sasuke down to his knees.

"Shasta..." Stasja was clearly uncomfortable with all of this. "Is an assassination really necessary?" However, she stayed out of the way. She knew better than to interfere with the activities of the Indrik clan.

Shasta gave Stasja only a split-second glance, followed by a quick nod. "Stasja, I'm more sure about this than anything I've ever considered. This punk won't let go of the past, so I'm going to take care of the situation. Retribution for the trouble he has caused for my people."

Kaz reached out to yank his knife from Sasuke's shoulder, scowling when he saw that blood had gotten on the insignia on the handle.

Sasuke

He ignored Arkidy even as he grabbed him by the throat. His smile stayed but itwas more of a sad smile now as he was forced to his knees. He knelt there and then she spoke. The past. I have let that go. Im not even with my brother any more. Its not my fault your "husband" wanted to start something. I didn't start it.He said shaking his head as he lowered his head to glare at the ground his hair falling in his face.

When Kav tore the knife out he hollered out and thats when he just let his head hang.

Shasta & Others

Shasta's anger was growing with every word Sasuke spoke. There was always a time to let go, and Shasta felt that the best time to let go was when you had a gun pointed at your head by your ex-girlfriend. "You started it. You were staring at me like a motherfucking pervert. My husband was protecting me. You and your family have caused far too much damage to all of us. If I go to hell, I'd like to make sure you make it there first. I'm giving you a one-way ticket to eternal suffering for all you've done, and when I get there, I'm pushing you off the edge, into the lake of fire. Kind of a peaceful idea for me, but it really sucks for--"

"SHASTA!" Konstantin's voice ended Shasta's sentence as he burst through the door. "Give me the gun, Shasta. That's it... give it to me..." He slowly reached out to gently remove the pistol from Shasta's hands, but kept it aimed at Sasuke. "I'm not even going to ask what's going on here, but we should bring him to Dimitri's cabin. Nobody's home, and I'm sure Dimitri won't mind us using his cabin while he's in rehab."

"Father..." Arkadiy began, looking rather upset that no bullets were fired today. "This is between us and him."
"This isn't a time for reasoning, Arkadiy." The father of the Volkovs was still getting used to his son's pseudonym. "Get him into my SUV." The man then looked down at Sasuke. "You. Stand up. No questions, just do it. We're going to the black SUV. You're going to comply, or you're going to die. Now stand and start moving."

Shasta had no idea how Konstantin found them so fast, until Arkadiy showed her the tracking device on his phone. "It's for our own safety, Shasta."

Sasuke

Sasuke knelt there as she spoke. His hands slightly starting to tremble. However; before she finished someone else was speaking and she got cut off. He glancedup to see who exactly it was and then just listened to them. He listened to every word they spoke. Why would they be taking him in though? What point was there? He really had just come to see Shasta to see how she was fairing. He then looked at Konstantin debating on whether or not he really wanted to live and slowly he got to his feet his hand going to his left shoulder to where the stab wound was. FineHe spoke.
