In quick response to the blonde woman's nod, Kage rooted himself to the ground, brought his arms back, and hurled his ally toward Aiden with as much might as he could muster. Tekka was currently trying to talk down a little girl who had just knifed Hotaru in the arm, and there had been a couple mysterious flashes of gold light, so all the giant really needed to focus on right now was Tekka's big bad bro.
"Perfect Combustion of Allied Souls - Cannonball Attack!" bellowed the Tora as he threw the lady who called Hotaru 'Boss'. She seemed ready for it, and Jack was doing his best to distract Aiden, so hopefully this would work well.

The moment Eva was tossed she was already prepared. She slammed into Aiden with all of her weight, which was really quite alot compared to her physical appearance. "Sorry Hun, but Boss comes first." she growled in his ear before aiming another punch into his stomach.
Madoka's face was still stained with tears as she glared at Tekka. The fact that this was her friend didn't quite make it through her head during that moment, just that it was someone on that... that murderer's side. "Tekka, there's just some things you don't understand, even if we have so much in common, like the fact that we both killed our mother." she said this perfectly calm, thinking about every word she was saying. The only reason she pointed this out was to see if the Tora in front of her would mention anything about it.
"You know there's that one part of you that's going crazy from it all, no matter how much you try hiding it..." she rolled up her sleeves to her elbows, revealing the scars from her wrists to the inside of her elbows for a bit more proof. "I'd be dead if it weren't for Aiden, and he's given me enough reason to believe him over you!" she shot a look over at Hotaru. "Especially since it was your fault my dad's dead!" she shouted, getting more pissed by the second. It was clear the usually cheerful girl had lost her mask(and mind) a while back.
Hotaru had given the girl a sad look. "Madoka, it wasn't my fault... the man that killed your father was a terrible person. He even killed my best friend, I know what you're dealing with here..."
"No, you don't so just shut the hell up ya dumb bitch!!!" screamed the youngest Ookami. "Tekka, either get out of the way or I'll have to go through you." she told her, completely serious.

Aiden was shoved back farther, Jack dodging out of the way of his swinging arms. The giant roaring again as his leg buckled beneath him, refusing to hold after two sleepless nights and a bullet wound. He couldn't beat guns, not now. It wasn't fair, they were cheating! The man struck out at Eva, flipping her onto her back on the ground and then managing to heave her at Jack who didn't dodge, perhaps to soften Eva's impact. He was panting by this point. Why was he so tired? And that feeling he had been having, the impending doom one, it was stronger. Ra, he couldn't breath, why couldn't he breath? Blood in his mouth and throat, think and red and yuck yuck copper pennies. He lurched towards Kyle, trying to get rid of him now while blood flowed out of his wounds and a few droplets of rain started hitting the roof.
As much as Tekka wanted to help, the thief was facing her own problems. She simply stared at Madoka. Then she started to speak. "Doka, I never knew my mother. I never knew what was so special about her, as a matter of fact, I used to hate her." She took a slightly shaky breath. "I mean, what sort of mom lets her daughter be left alone with a brother that hates her and a dad that forgets she exists? Ya know? Jack was more like a mom or a dad to me than her." She glanced to the side. "I used to cry at her grave, a long time ago, just so Jack would stick around. I remember making him feel bad, so I wanna see him happy, just like he wants me to be happy. Hotaru does that for him." She looked back to Madoka, the line in the sand was drawn as more rain fell.
"So if you wanna go through me to hurt Hotaru," Tekka growled. "I'd like ta see ya try, Doka." She pulled out her trusty switchblade, holding it tight in her hand as her muscles tensed.

"I'm sorry but what is this a who had the worst childhood contest?Cos mine can fucking top all of yours" She growled , picking the scythe up off the floor.She sighed softly "Tekka no matter what he's done ... once you get past the shit,the anger,the times where he can be a total insufferable douche bag ... and you have to be as annoying as hell to do this and bother him to oblivion then you sort of get to know him and realise he's not a big of a douche bag as he likes to make out he is ... and that's why" she stopped herself and softly smiled "I think of him as ... my best friend"
Taking the ideal opportunity from standing behind the girl Tekka called Hotaru stood directly behind her holding the blade near her throat "You shouldn't worry about her ... nor should you forget about me" she muttered ... it had been perfect ... Eva would remove herself from Aiden leaving him with Jack and the big guy and her with this Hotaru and Eva.

Kage was actually a little alarmed when Aiden lunged at him. It brought back not-so-fond memories of that day at the mall. Come to think of it... that was really the only bad part of the day. The giant Tora shook his head and tried to focus on his assailant, his huge hands going straight for the ancient revolvers at his hips. Before a shot could be fired, however, a streak of gold light became visible, and Aiden was apparently its target. If the maniacal Ookami didn't move, he'd take a good hit to the side of the head, and who knew what was at the head of that little comet.

Hotaru was caught by surprise, too busy looking at the two younger girls by the time Xion had caught her the way she had. She was careful to stay still to avoid the blade a little. "I didn't forget," muttered the ex gang leader in return, sounding strangely calm. "You're too fucking annoying to forget about."
Eva, who had practically been thrown around like a baseball the passed few moments, jumped back to her feet quickly when she saw the woman with the scythe capture Hotaru. "Boss!" she yelled out, about to run over to come to her aid.
The ex ganger leader stayed put, yelling back out at Eva. "Stay put, Shimazaki!!" she ordered firmly, despite the current situation she was in. "You focus of Aiden, that's an order!!" Despite the fact that her arm was throbbing, Hotaru was actually pretty calm. Stare Death in the eye once, you could do it again, she supposed. Eva reluctantly obeyed her boss's orders and charged forward at Aiden again.
Madoka kept a firm grip on the knives in her hand. So Tekka wouldn't back away, huh? The emotionally(and probably mentally) disturbed Ookami decided to lunge at the Tora in front of her, aiming a stab at Tekka's shoulder the first time.

Tekka brought up the switchblade to block before sweeping her hand up to slice. It was more of a feint than anything else. She couldn't hurt Doka, she just couldn't and because of that she had a feeling they'd be the least injured out of everyone. Madoka wasn't a particularly experienced fighter and Tekka was unwilling to hurt her, it was as much of a stalemate as one could get, really.
Aiden was barely alert enough to catch the golden bullet and hurl it back at whichever direction it had come from. He made his final few steps over to Kage quicker than one would expect a person who had been shot to move, and began punching. His left arm was slower and its movements more jerky, but his right arm was as fast as ever and just as accurate as it had always been.
Jack rose from where Eva had crashed into him just as swiftly and started looking around for his gun. It was raining and he was pretty damn sure that it was a bad idea for water to come into contact with guns or gunpowder or whatever.

"Yeah being annoying is a specialty of mine along with being a bitch and stealing shit" she shrugged before removing the scythe "Got what I was looking for ... a reaction outta ya lapdog which is what I will get when I beat you into the ground" she muttered dropping the scythe to the floor and curling her fist into a ball
"After all where's the fun if I can't get a good fight outta ya huh?" she sighed stepping back and curling her fist into a ball.

Kage was taken aback by the reversal of the gold light, and was therefore not able to block the punch from Aiden. The fist that was almost as enormous as his own hit the giant on the left side of his face, causing an audible crack. Kage could already taste blood, the first he'd tasted in years, and the blow knocked him back a bit as his knees came quite close to buckling. --- Jeremiah caught the Braille coin, letting loose a string of curses in Esparanto as he readjusted his aim. The big guy fighting Kyle had just gotten his buddy with a punch of apparently monumental force, but the creepy chick with the scythe was still a danger as well. The young-looking Ookami aimed carefully and looked inside his mind. The Japanese characters lit up like gold, each one replacing the next just before Jeremiah launched his coin again. "Akarui... Sandan!" What resulted was almost nothing like the previous shots he had made. Instead, this attack was much more like a gunshot. It flew toward the assassin with what was surely a mini sonicboom, and Jeremiah could barely even tracck it with his eyes. With his target concentrating on hitting the brunette, she'd be hard-pressed to dodge this.

Hotaru jumped back a few feet when she was released from the scythe. "Eva's gonna do whatever I say, and if that means staying out of this fight, then that's what she's gonna do." Without another second's thought, she took her gun and shot at Xion's arm.
Eva paused for a moment, glancing over to see how Hotaru was doing. After a short second of reassuring herself that her boss would be fine, she looked back at her own fight with Aiden to see him going after the other big guy. Before going back to join the fight, she looked down and noticed she was standing next to Jack's gun that Aiden had knocked away a while back. She hurried to pick it up and looked over at the Ookami.
"'Ey, Lover Boy!" she called hurriedly. She tossed the gun in his direction, not all too sure if that was the safest thing to do, especially with it raining. The thought didn't occur to the blond though, going back into the fight right after tossing the gun to go to Big Guy #2's aid. She wasted no time at all as she shoved her fist into Aiden's jaw as hard as she possibly could. She heard a few of her own knuckles crack in the process.
Madoka fell on her back from trying to dodge Tekka's slice. Her knives fell out of her hands and slid a few feet away, making her crawl to try reaching for them again.

Tekka kicked the knives farther away and attempted to pin Madoka. "Dammit Doka!! Stop fighting already! I don't wanna hurt a friend!!" Tekka was hating the rain, it was making it much more difficult to keep a hold on her switchblade or on Madoka, and the silver blade fell to the roof with a clatter.
Jack managed to whip his hand up in time to catch his gun, luckily it didn't go off in his hand right as he caught it, but it was wet and slippery so as far as Jack knew it could misfire. He decided to try it anyway, the first shot ripping through the air towards Aiden's elbow, with Kage down there was less of a chance the Ookami would accidentally hit him.
Aiden's arm was forcibly moved, and his elbow fucking exploded. That was the only way he could describe it. Another roar, this one slightly strangled as his left arm became completely unusable. The pain did serve one effect though, sharpening his focus as the shards of bone dug into his arm. An absentminded thought that he'd need a doctor after this managed to weasel into his mind as he looked at the wound. He was still dazed however, and Eva's fist knocked him back a yard or so. The Ookami was getting closer and closer to the edge with each step. Oddly enough, this didn't seem to worry him.

She narrowly missed the bullet as it scraped her arm.She frowned "Hey thats not fair I put my weapon..." she stopes when she got smacked in the back of the neck by the coin
"Your epically failing at this wanna do a switch"she heard in her head and she groaned "No I'm fine on my own" she mumbled regaining her balence and lunging at Hotaru aiming a punch at her face and then elbowed her in the stomach.

Thanks to the blonde lady, Kage had a momentary reprieve from Aiden's assault... but not from the screaming pain in his face. There would surely have to be some sort of reconstructive surgery, but this was no time for the giant to worry about the functionality of his face. With the room necessary, the largest present combatant drew his right revolver and fired at Aiden's right arm. If his arms were useless, then he'd have no way to attak... especially now that walking seemed to be a problem.

Madoka struggled to get free from Tekka's hold, but she was too weak to do so. "Let me go!" she kept shouting, refusing to listen to anything she would say. "Aiden's the closest thing to family I have anymore, i don't want you hurting him!!"
Eva pulled her hand back, trying to get the thought of how much it hurt out of her mind as she glanced back at Hotaru and Xion. She was having enough of this chick thinking she could come in and do whatever the hell she wanted. The blond quickly ran over to come to Hotaru's aid.
Hotaru dodged the first punch, being brough back a few feet by the elbow to her stomach. She looked over to see Eva rushing over. "Shimazaki, what did I tell you?!" she yelled, starting to get a little furious.
Eva stood in the middle of the two girls, glaring at Xion like a wild animal about to run in for the kill. "No can do Boss, I've been wantin' a hit at her for a while now." before Hotaru could add anymore she continued. "C'mon, i know you've been dyin' to get a few punches into Aiden over there. How 'bout tradin'?"
Hotaru was quiet for a moment, looking back at the situation with Kage, Jack, and Aiden. She nodded. "Be careful Shimazaki." she said before running off to join the real fight she had been wanting to be part of from the beginning. Being the idiot she was, however, she didn't bother thinking about stealth as she yelled to get Aiden's attention on her.
"AIDEN!!" she shouted, gun at the ready for when he tried charging after her. She was determined to be the one to end this, it was just something she had to do for several reasons.

Tekka was taken a bit aback by Madoka's words and loosened her hold a tad, she tightened them again after a moment. "No! If I do that he'll kill Ru-ru and Kage and me! He might hurt you too, Doka!" The little Ookami was getting increasingly more difficult to hold on to. Tekka was practically growling in frustration.
Aiden was on fire. Each and every one of his limbs now felt like they were either going to fall off or spontaneously combust, and he felt cheated. He had been shot four times now, and barely even gotten to throw a punch. Even with the numbers as they were, it wouldn't have been that way without the damn guns. Though he managed to dodge another bullet aimed for his leg and lunged for Hotaru when she called him out.
He knew about three things at that point in time:
1) Jack had been the one to fire the last shot towards him.
2) Hotaru was influencing his little brother to do it.
3) Hotaru would continue to keep him under her control if she didn't die.
Jack fired off another shot, Hotaru and Aiden were too far away to catch up with right then. The bullet grazed Aiden's face at an angle between his eyes, otherwise missing him completely. The next three shots were clicks.
