Takiko's eyes locked on Layna for a moment.
"Crow..." She began to explain, feeling a sting of pain when she spoke, "Shot me."
It was the easiest way to put it. If she wanted to know the rest of the story, Takiko would have to explain it somewhere more private.

Xander turned. "The picture up there. Surely you've taken note of it. It is 15 and 25 feet...a beautiful rendition, and I'm to take it out. There is no trick."
He pointed to the picture at the top of the stairs on the wall behind the tables and by the bar on the second floor that overlooked the dancefloor on the first.

Valic grew a little suspicious. "What's so important about that painting?" He asked, still pointing the gun at his head.

A growl echoed deep in her throat. "That little.....ergh...." She snapped back the curses, and words that she dared never say. The hairs on the back of her neck stood up with the anger. "I'll kill him for hurting my friends...."

"It was painted by Rogue during her first few months in New York. You can understand why she is taking it with her."
Xandra looked Valic, lifting an eyebrow.
"Can you take the gun from his head? I can assure you we are to cause no harm. Watch us pack it if you must."

Takiko's cold eyes made an emotionless effect on anyone who dared look in them.
"He shot me after... I told him I was to kill him."
Now everything was just becomming confusing. The part she did not know, was Zarathos would have to kill her as well. If he ever wished to become a part of his race again. It is the honorable thing to do, or so Kyrre says.

Valic snarled just a bit, then put the gun away. "Alright... Nothing funny." Valic said as he followed them upstiars to watch them get their job done.

Layna sat rigid, her heart pounding. "I know that code.....He warned me.....But he'd never....." She looked at Takiko, sadness and fury in her eyes. "Crow...and Zarathos....They are different and the same. Forbidden love.....But what Zarathos won't do....is kill me, nor let harm come to pass on me....." She reached out and touched Takiko's arm, and then reached into her pocket and pulled a plain napkin, and began dabbing at the blood on her cheeks. "I learned a long time ago to cherish love to the fullest, no matter the risks. Me and him are partners in blood and love. None of your kind can harm me now.....He's taken my blood first....I am his...."

With a forceful push, Takiko attempted to sit up. This just caused the wound to open more, and blood to pour from it again. A groan came from her lips. Not from the pain, no she could deal with pain. It was from her weak body. Everyone else was always strong and a good fighter. She was weak, pathetic, and lacked the grace vampires possesed.
Though she had her faults, or the faults she thought she had, Takiko had her own greatnesses. As she lay on the ground, her mind wondered to the few things good about her. Perseverence was one of them...
Before she realized what had happened, Takiko was unconsious on the floor. Her limp body was barely breathing, every breath was slow, as if she was oxygen-deprived.

Xander nodded slightly and walked up the stairs and began taking down the painting that hung there. "Grab that side, Xandra."

Xandra grabbed the other side, and began hauling out the place with her brother to the truck she had brought that was parked close outside still running.
"Sorry about the inconvenience."
((exit to city.))

When the two left Valic closed the door and locked it. "Alright!" He said to himself in frustration. "This place is closed!" Valic took as eat at the bar. "Fix me a drink." He said to the bartender, as he cleaned glasses. "Kraehe... come here." Valic said slapping a seat next to him, offering her a seat.

"What are you planning?" Takiko weak voice echoed from within one of the mounds of rubble in Los Nochas. She really was not in the kind of state to be able to talk badly about anyone, but her attitude made her. He must be up to something. No one would deliberatly close a major night club, even if it was a little messy.
Takiko's blood stained an over-turned table besides her. Just residue from the round being shot. Her weak body was lying on the floor next to it. She had not been able to move and inch since Crow shot her.
Usually the wound would heal by now. The power from the bullet and the round still being inside her caused her healing rate to slow dramatically.

TheXFactor Valic opened the office door, and exited the room. Making his way down stares. It did'nt seem that different, still a mess like before but this time their was a few piles of ashes. "Ha..." He chuckled lightly. He drew his gone from under his coat. "Kraehe, check the back make sure no one is coming in from the back." Valic made his way to the front door that was wide open. He checked the front of the club, then closed the doors locking them. So no one else comes in. Kraehe walked down the stairs. "Okay, I'll check the back..." she said, walking towards the back. She took out her pistol and cleared the back. "It's clear, Valic..." she said, walking back.

A pain-filled noise came from the wounded vampire in the back of the club. She shifted her body just enough to be able to place her hand on the hilt of her sword. Takiko had given up on trying to investigate what this guy was trying to do to Los Nochas. She just wanted to figure out the rest of her plan, her very vague, and unlikely plan to get out of here alive.
The slight movement caused her to be filled with fatigue. Her weak, limp, vulnerable body was quivering with pain that came in her short jolts of breath.
