Hotaru stormed up the stairs to the Momentum Tower, more than a little pissed. She had heard from Tekka a while back that Hana had tried to turn her into one of her Playmates. Ever since she had heard this she had made a mental note to talk to the little puppet master, but didn't get the time to until recently. She had told Hana to meet her at the top of the tower that day. She had also decided to bring Tekka along with her. She had a feeling she would like to see Hana scared out of her mind for once, and Hotaru was the only person that knew just how to do that.

Tekka could have kept up with her elder clanmate rather easily, though she currently didn't want to be too close to the maelstrom which would soon be Hotaru. It was best to hang back a bit for the moment. She actually hadn't wanted to tell the ex-gang leader about the whole 'playmate' thing, it wasn't in the girl's nature to ask for help, even if she needed it. A fair bit of pride controlled that part of her. Still, she wasn't dumb, and for once common sense won out with the thought that Hana might try her hand again.
And so, like a cowardly child tattling to their mother, Tekka had told Hotaru and now they were on the hunt for the psychotic teen. She restrained a sigh, wishing she could actually fight a battle without help.

Hotaru slammed the door open that lead to the top of the tower. Hana was sitting there calmly, playing with one of her puppets as usual. The moment she heard the door open she shot her head up to look at the two girls.
"Miss Hotaru!!" Hana exclaimed cheerfully. Hopping up and running to give the little girl's idol a hug. Hotaru just pat her back for a moment and shoved her back. Hana giggled again, looking over to see Tekka not too far away. "Tekka!! Long time no see!" she was about to go hug the other girl before Hotaru pushed her back again.
"Hana..." she started, glaring down at the girl. "Did you try making Tekka one of your playmates...?"
Hana blinked a few times, understanding she was in trouble. "No, of course not!" she rushed to say, obviously nervous. The two turned to Tekka to confirm what had happened.

Tekka had taken a step back from Hana, the ever-present and less-often-seen spiritly form of Great Maju Garzette leaping out in front of her just in case. Granted, she was pretty sure no one else on the roof would see him, but it was a help to know he was there. She glared at Hana as she denied the accusation. "Right so the whole letting a murder share in my cookies before trying to enslave me, I totally imagined that." Her tone was dry as her gazed fixed upon Hana. If shifted briefly to Hotaru. "Yes, she tried it, and if it hadn't been for Jeremiah I'd be one of her 'playmates' now."

Hotaru nodded, turning back to Hana. "Thought so." she said. "Hana, what have I told you?"
The youngest of the Toras rubbed her arm, trying to avoid contact with the grey eyes staring right at her. "I-I didn't know she was one of your friends..." she muttered, finding that to be the best excuse she had.
Hotaru sighed before reaching over and grabbing the girl by the collar, making her yelp slightly. "I swear Hana you have crossed the line!" She shouted, noticing a certain emotion in the young girl's eyes that wasn't too common: Fear.

Tekka winced at the explosion. Hotaru was mad. Pissed would be a better word really. The middle Tora hoped to whatever deity was out there that she wouldn't ever have to get this angry at Jack. It'd be a dark day if that aver actually happened.

Hotaru kept a cold glare at Hana as she yanked her up to her level, pulling the insane teen away from the ground. She knew very well what Hana was capable of doing to a person(well not with her, Hana wouldn't dare try to hurt her), and the fact that she tried pulling one on one of her friends was enough to drive her this angry.
Hana was sweating at that point. The look Hotaru was giving her was just... she couldn't even give a proper description of it. It gave her this terrible feeling, not one of Death, Hana could take that all smiles. But there was just something about the way the ex gang leader was glaring down at her that made her shiver. It was more pain that what she had ever felt physically. "I-I'm sorry!!" she insisted, a few tears starting to collect in the corner of her eyes.
"Don't apologize to me." she growled at her. "Tekka's right there." She wasn't going to try hurting the girl, Hana wouldn't feel it. All she knew was that there was something about this glare of hers that could get under a person's skin so much that it was enough to even torture Hana. That, was her secret weapon against the young girl.
Hana slowly moved her head to look at Tekka from where Hotaru had a hold of her. "I-I'm s-s-sorry Tekka..." she muttered. She didn't want to apologize, she honestly didn't think she did anything wrong, but she just wanted away from Hotaru's glare! It was driving her mad... or more mad than she already was.

Tekka didn't feel incredibly reassured by the other teen's apology but nodded anyway. "And you won't do it to me ever again?" She asked, though it was more of a statement after she thought on it. Hana looked terrified, and while satisfying it seemed almost... wrong...

Hana seemed to hesitate on that last part. She felt Hotaru tug her forward a little more and nodded her head quickly. "Y-yeah! Totally!! It'll never happen again!!" she insisted. She slowly looked back at Hotaru, whose glare still looked scary, but you could tell she had lightened up some. "I promise!" Hana added to Hotaru before the oldest of the three Toras released her.
"As long as you promise, I won't have to go through this with you again, right?" Hotaru asked Hana, who nodded her head in response.
"Yes, Miss Hotaru." Hana replied, showing a tone of respect never heard from the young puppet master. She bent down to pick up her bag and dolls, muttering under her breath, "I'd of gotten her eventually if she didn't know Miss Hotaru..."
"What was that, Hana?" Hotaru asked, followed by Hana jumping up nervously and laughing slightly. Hotaru just rolled her eyes and turned to Tekka, a more familiar smile on her face now.

Tekka was still a bit suspicious of Hana, she had caught the phrase that she had muttered and Tekka didn't like it one bit. She smiled back at Hotaru anyway, knowing that if something DID occur, she probably wouldn't swallow enough of her pride to ask for help. "Thanks Ru-Ru." She grinned, giving the elder Tora a hug. "I owe ya one."

Hotaru smiled at Tekka, returning the hug. "No problem." she replied. Hana heard the quick exchange, making her ears flinch a little.
"But Miss Hotaru..." she pouted. "You said I couldn't call you Ru-ru, why does she get to...?"
Hotaru looked back at Hana as if she were an annoying younger sister. "'Cause she can." she settled with saying.
"Anyone else call you that?" the youngest girl pressed on, making Hotaru's mind instantly go to Jack. The oldest of the three held back a small smile and shook her head a bit, not noticing the little blush on her pale face. Hana grinned a little, looking back at Tekka. "So Tekka, what'cha been up to lately?" she asked cheerfully.

Tekka grinned along with Hotaru, deciding to keep Jack a secret for the moment. Hotaru would have told if she wanted to tell after all. She kept her face expressionless when talking with Hana though, unwilling to believe the facade of happiness and cheer. "I met another psycho the other day, his name's Foster and he's about as crazy as you are."

Hana frowned a little at Tekka's response. "That's not good." she replied blankly. "I should be the only one with that rank, everyone else are just posers." Not to mention they're hard to work with. She learned that from meeting Ryou.
Hotaru shook her head and sighed at Hana. "Sometimes I wonder what goes on in your mind, Hana..." the little girl just giggled.

Tekka shrugged. "I'm a bit scared to find out." Which was true. She was.Hana scared the little Tora like there was no tomorrow.

Hana giggled a little more at Tekka's response. "I promise I'd tone it down if you ever wanted to poke around sometime." she assured her.
Hotaru sighed again. "Smart ass," she muttered to herself before looking over at Tekka. "So anything you wanna do now?" she asked her.
