Chapter 11：RLT (11)

"You know, I heard that the Urishio Gang has been very active lately. So, be careful when you are out late." Jewel said with concern. 

"How do you know I go out at night?.." Sasuko asked.

Just as Jewel was going to enter the mansion, she sighs small. "I know because i hear you leave."

"What... You're up huh?"

"Yeah. Just be careful."

"Uh-huh. Right. I have something to do."

"See ya."

"Yeah."

Sasuko walks away and sighs deeply. 'She is too worried.' 

In deed, Jewel was very worried. She knows her sister very well. She knows that Sasuko doesn't take things seriously unless something does happen. Entering the mansion, Jewel is greeted by her parents. 

"Where were you, Jewel?! Where is your sister??!" Pakura asked.

"I went out for a walk. And Sasuko is with friends. I guess they are going to hang out again." Jewel answered. 

"What do you mean by "hang out?"" Creed asked.

"You don't know? She and her friends goes to the club to have "fun." But, in reality, they just drink." 

"What?! That child never told us about that!" Pakura said angrily. 

"Oh..." Jewel suddenly realized she spilled out Sasuko's secret. 

With a nervous chuckle, Jewel walks past her angered parents and dash into her room. 

~hours later~

"It is almost midnight... where is she?!" Jewel asked, worried.

"Relax!! She probably stayed with one of her friends. Maybe with Yukino." Ash answered worried-free while eating a slice of chocolate cake. 

"How can you be so carefree?! Haven't you heard what's going on out there?!"

"About the gang? Yeah I did. But, why worry? The Akumu Wolves are there for Sasuko. There is no way something can happen to her!"

"Oh, don't have your hopes to high."

"What? You don't think so?"

"No! I don't! Why?! Well, Sasuko is just a member of that gang. Second, she is valuable when drunk! What's worse is her looks! They are very unique! Something any guy would crave to have within their grip!! Like the Urishio Gang!!"

"Jewel, go to sleep. You need it. She will be fine."

"Ugh!" Jewel stands up, and storms into her room. 

Ash sighs deeply as an unsettling feeling creeps into her. Finishing her dessert, she puts the dishes into the sink before going to her room.

Days have passed by, and still there was no sign of Sasuko. Pakura and Creed kept asking the Akumu Wolves for information which they did not have. Now completely sure, Jewel knew something bad happened to her sister. Andrew and Leon were now frequently visiting, holding for good news but ends up getting the opposite.

One day, Sasuko's Akuma and Tenshi - Asuna and Nala Sakamaki - appeared completely worried but also extremely low on stamina.

"Asuna, Nala?! How come you are not with Sasuko?!" Jewel asked, which gathered the others attentions - Ash, Atsushi, Creed, Pakura, Leon, and Andrew. 

"We can't be with her without our energy being absorbed...." Asuna answered. 

Nala nodes as she sits down against the wall. "They have her...."

"They?" Ash asked.

"The Urishio Gang."
