More tears streaked down Hotaru's cheeks. Dream or no, it hurt SO MUCH! Why couldn't she wake up, why!? Why wasn't Jack DOING SOMETHING? He was just standing there, watching...
"No... please..." she muttered helplessly. Make it stop, just make it stop...

...Okay, knife or not that was IT! He wasn't just going to let that slimeball do whatever he wanted to Ruru RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM!! The pianist was across the room in the blink of an eye thanks to adrenaline and rage boosting him. He grabbed the knife and yanked the Kuma's head away from HOtaru. "You keep your greasy paws OFF OF HER!!" He roared. He must have looked a sight, he doubted he had ever been so furious in his life.

Archer growled and thrusted the knife into the Ookami's wrist and jerked it back. Jack's blood dripped off the blade as he pressed it into Hotaru's throat. "Back. The. Fuck. Off." he growled, drawing blood from the girl's neck slightly.
He glared at Jack as he held the knife to his girlfriend's throat. "You wouldn't want me to kill dear Hotaru now would you?" he asked darkly. "I'd have no objections with it. Actually, I'm sure Puff wouldn't mind munching on her leg." he spat. He didn't particularly support the cannablism, but he'd kill her if he had to and to hurt Jack would give her to Puff.
His eyes darted to the blonde. "Tell Jackie here to back up or I'll kill her." he snapped.

Eva hardly had any time to react at all, and before she knew it the Kuma had the knife at Hotaru. "Jack." called the blond, obviously beyond pissed at this point. "Get your ass away NOW." If Jack continued to lose his head like this he really WAS gonna get Hotaru killed. "I know this guy's a prick, but there's better ways to handle this." she spat this out while glaring at the prick in question.
A quiet gasp had slipped through the redhead's lips when the blade cut her neck. This all hurt too much to be a dream, so was this all real? If it was, then that meant... Jack was there, right in front of her! It was really him!! She could almost touch him he was so close, if only she could...
The drugs given to her must had been slowly wearing off, because Hotaru could hardly notice her hand grabbing Jack's shirt. She didn't wanna let go, she didn't care if she died because of it, she just wanted the man she loved.

Jack hissed in pain as the knife was twisted and stabbed into his own arm, that was NOT part of the plan. Not that he had one but HAD he had one that certainly wouldn't have been part of it. A strangled growl made its way out of this throat, caught between his desire to squeeze the life out of the Kuma and keep Hotaru alive... It was a rock and a hard place. Especially when he felt a weight on his shirt.
His hands dropped from the Kuma and he glanced down. "Ruru..." He brushed his fingers over her hand and took it gently off of his shirt. "Ruru, you need to let go for a bit, okay?" He kept his voice gentle. "I promise I'll get you out of here..." He took a step back. "I always keep my promises, remember?" He took another step back, her hand slipping slowly out of his grasp.
He hated backing away like this, but it was that or Ruru died. He wouldn't let her die, he couldn't let that happen. So as much as it broke his heart to do so, he managed to back up more and more. He didn't back up quite back to Eva, though, he didn't want to be any farther away than he was now.

Archer glared at Hotaru's hand which had grabbed Jack. He smiled darkly as Jack moved back across the room. Withdrawing the knife he wrapped that hand around the back of her neck, keeping the blade centimeters from the back of her neck. He placed his other hand under her legs and lifted. It wasn't the easiest way out of the chair but it worked.
The Kuma stood up and walked behind the chair and to the bed on the far wall. He laid the girl on the bed and grabbed the syringe that rested on the night stand. "Sorry darling, you're becoming too animated for my tastes." he said sinking the needle and pumping in more of the drugs into her system. He kissed her forehead and straightened, looking back to the two others.
"That'll keep her still for the next 2 hours." He stated twirling the knife in his hand. "My original plan was to make you cry then kill you." Archer said walking slowly to the chair. "But you're just not cooperating and I'd like to be done with this by dinner." He waved the Ookami towards him with the bloody knife. "Let's have at it Jack."

Eva grabbed Jack's shoulder before he had time to respond. She'd promised Aiden she'd keep Jack safe, and that was what she was gonna do. Besides, SHE could last longer in a fight than the Ookami, even if she started to lose her head some. "Get Boss and get out." she snapped at Jack quietly. "What's more important, kicking his ass or saving her?"
With that the blond looked back up at the Kuma. "How's about I fight you instead, Pretty Boy?" she grinned eagerly. "Trust me, you'll have a lot more fun this way." This was what she came here for.
Hotaru laid on the bed, a statue she was so still. She wanted out of here now! Jack promised he'd get her out, and he did always keep his promises. All she could do at this point was hope.

Archer's eyes darkened in anger. "No." he snapped with a growl. "He's not leaving here with her. I don't have a quarrel with you. It's him," he glared at Jack. "who I want to hurt. I can have fun many other ways. I don't need you to do so." he twirled the knife and grinned. "Though thanks for the compliment. I love it when my enemies call me pretty."
"Now let Jackie boy here fight for his woman." he said waving her away with his open hand.

Jack gulped. "Eva, you know what to do." He was referring to getting Ruru out while he fought (well, dodged) the Kuma. He stepped forward, "Ready when you are tough guy, though it's pretty low of you to have a knife while I've got nothing." He said. He just hoped he could last long enough for Eva to get Hotaru out... and hopefully bring back some reinforcements by the way of Aiden or Matsu or that silver-haired woman Mikka. He sure hoped they were doing alright...

Eva hesitated, she REALLY didn't want him fighting! Though, she guessed things were heading this way anyway. After a moment she nodded. "Sure. Just don't die." she snapped at him. She'd wait to get Hotaru until after the Kuma was a good distance from her, she wasn't going to make any bad moves here.

Archer shrugged and tucked the knife in his thigh sheath swiftly. "I'll fight you hand to hand. I know how to fight without a weapon obviously. Several of my my victims have been killed with my bare hands only." he taunted holding up his hands and wiggling his fingers. He grinned at the two. He knew once the fight started that the blonde would go for Hotaru. All the power to her. It's not like he'd let them leave yet anyways.
Archer grasped the large chair that stood in front of him and gave it a shove towards the 'Rescuers'. It would hit Jack if he wasn't careful. As the chair slid Archer ran and followed it, ready to fight.

Jack would never actually say it, but he was at that moment extremely grateful for all the times Aiden had gone berserk over the years. Jack might not have been a great fighter, but he was damn good at dodging. It was easy to see what Archer had planned to do as soon as he had gone for the chair. He had actually wound up giving the Ookami plenty of time to prepare, and so it was a simple matter for the pianist to dodge out of the way. "Really?" He taunted. "I wouldn't have guessed it." As much as he wanted to see if Eva was moving for Hotaru yet he couldn't afford to take his eyes off of Archer.

Archer grinned, stalking towards Jack slowly, the chair forgotten. Perfect. It was now laying against the door. "You have no idea." he replied coming within reaching distance of Jack. "Go on Jackie, take your best shot." he taunted hitting his chest and grinning down at the boy.

Eva dodged the chair just as easily as Jack, and instantly darted her way to Hotaru's bedside. "Don't worry Boss, I gotcha." she said, picking her up as carefully as possible. She looked over at Jack and the Kuma and noticed the door was blocked. Dammit, she wouldn't be able to get out. She sat the redhead back down for a moment to think. Maybe if she could get the Kuma focused on her it'd give Jack time to unblock the door and get Hotaru out...
She grinned a little, she knew just what to say. She just needed to wait for the right moment.

Jack blinked. "...If you insist..." He wasn't so dumb as to expect it was a free shot, he had a bad feeling Archer would use his moves against him, but he needed to keep him distracted. Might as well play along and act a bit dim. He swung for the Kuma's neck. It was home to no bones that would wind up breaking his hand and it was more effective a shot than going for, say, the stomach.
Harder to turn against him, too, if he remembered what Aiden said.
