All three of them were walking around the mall, Jade was actually enjoying herself. She blinked as she looked into the store which was practically covered in fake graffiti, and looked at both Fred and Hiro. "What's in there?"
Both of the males cringed as the saw the vague inside of the store. "Some place you'll never want to go into..." Hiro mumbled, although it was clear enough for her to hear. She gave a nod and continued on, skipping through before another store caught her eye. Oh hey, it looked way cool. Maybe even punk rock and stuff. She gasped, not even asking what it was before she ran in. Hiro followed her, Fred just continued to wander around. He would find them later, or he would find a way to contact them.
Jade walked around the large store, finding basically a couple shirts she wanted, and even a headband. The headband had large, poofy white ears, a lot like a dogs. On the tag, it said it was a cat's ears, but they looks just like Bec's. She smiled at that, One of the shirts was very heavily Japanese styled, it ended on the upper thigh. A green-ish yellow made the embroidery and designs on it, also a large yellow ribbon which went to a bow on the back. Oh, hey, she knew how to tie that. She smiled to herself before looking at the price tag, a '$49,50' was printed on it, she hummed and nodded, still getting it.
She walked up to the counter, setting down the head band and dress-shirt thing, paying for it and walking out of the store. "Eh? Where'd Hiro go...?" She asked, her eyes getting covered, and a small 'Guess who?' coming from the person.
"Hiro!" Jade said cheerfully, her eyes getting uncovered by the young teen. She turned around, expecting to see the male, though she was eye to eye with the rather...Large chest of a kimono, it being a bright-pinkish color. The woman herself who was only about a bit taller than Jade, and the weirdest part was that she was wearing a lot of face-paint. There were two others, a shorter one which was eye-leveled with Jade and had hair covering her left eye was holding a parasol, and looked totally bored. Jade's green eyes looked over to the tallest and lankiest one, she had a bun and looked actually very...Ugly. All three of them were wearing short kimonos, which made it seem as if they were trying to leave nothing to the mind.
"Oh...Um, hello!" She said, trying not to sound scared. The one which she was chest-leveled to spoke, a heavy Japanese accent dripping onto her smooth voice.
"Hello, we're the Fujita sisters. Our boss said that we needed to find a person. That person fit your facial expressions, eyes, and just about everything about you. Would you like to come with us, dear?~"She had hard-set eyes which were even contradicting themselves, they seemed hard, yet soft. It was weird...
Jade hunched up slightly before giving a nod. "Y-yes, ma'am." She was being led by the three of them, a dropping feeling in her stomach because she was realizing that this wasn't anything set up by Hiro or Fred, and just decided to go with it. So then she wouldn't be getting hurt at all, which would be the good part. She brushed some of her dark-brown locks behind her ear as she was led outside, panic setting in that she might not be getting out of this for awhile. "Hiro, pleeeaaasssee help me find a way out of this!" She thought to herself, trying not to seem shaky in anyway possible.
Hiro exited the shop with a bag of his own. There were necklaces he bought, each of them having something that represented one of his friends, and brother, though he tried to spot Jade and found nothing anywhere. Even if it had been a short while, she would've been tailing him. Pulling out his phone, he looked at a new text.
Jade-Chan: hiro! theres these people and they just randomly picked me up! help! they call themselves the fujita sisters and say they work for this guy named 'yama'! I hope that you can help! :(
He could almost hear his heart drop. "Yama...?" He mumbled, "Where have I...? Bot-fights." His face turned to one of determination as he began to walk around the mall for any sight of her, only finding a phone. This said phone was actually quite nice compared to his flip-phone. How had she even afforded everything she had? That was beside the point, someone had taken her god knows where. Well, most likely she was in the illegal underbelly of San Fransokyo. He began to walk out of the mall, finding the black car which had both Fred and the chauffeur in it. Fred looked over to him. "Where's Jade, though?"
"Uh...She said she wanted to walk back to your place...?"
"I'm not stupid enough to know you're lying, you know. But seriously, where is she?"
"...Fred, don't kill me." He said before he breathed in, telling him about the text he had gotten and about Yama and the Fujita sisters. All in all, Fred suddenly looked slightly worried about what was going to happen to her.
"Oh my god...We have to get her back, I mean we've only known her for like two days, but she's awesome!" Both Hiro and Fred gave a nod, practically vowing to find her.
~*~Timeskip, at Hiro's house/Cafe/thing~*~
Hiro began to pace around the room, as if he were nervous about something. His brother wasn't there so there wasn't really any way to try and think of a better plan than to just go in there and try to find the inner workings of the place. He frowned slightly before looking over to the clock. Oh, hey. They were probably just getting back from lunch. He began to walk down the stairs, humming slightly. It wasn't really all that late, so he was just trying to take his time to getting to the school. And he was going to have to make a plan, so of course it was just going to take awhile. He gave a hum as he bounded down the road, taking almost a sprint towards the small way towards the school.
But if anything, his mind was on his friend, Jade. There was something wrong if he wanted to say that within the small amount of knowing her, he was already starting to like her. Not in the friendly way, in the way leaning more towards relationships. He only knew it would end in tragedy, of course. He felt a small buzzing in his pocket, his eyebrows furrowing as he grabbed the two phones and looking at them. He gave a blink as he stared at the phone, a text from a male by the name of 'Dave Strider'. What an odd name, if he dare say so himself. He clicked onto the phone, noticing it had no password and just going straight to the texts. He hummed and quickly sent a text over to this male. He didn't really know how, but he was able to keep slightly cool about this whole thing.
GG: Hello, sir, or whatever. But I have acquired Jade's phone because she was somewhat...Well, kidnapped. I was on my way out to find her, and she was nowhere in sight. I'm planning on finding her, so it was nice to meet you.
He smiled slightly at himself for the stupidity of his text before another one buzzed in, signaling that this Dave had tested back.
TG: oh
TG: im actually in san franwhatever right now
TG: so me and my brother can help you
Hiro gave a small blink as he stared at the gleaming phone in his hand with a tilt of his head.
GG: If you would like too, I can ask my brother to ditch school and just come and get you. When does your plane arrive?
TG: were already in the city
TG: so theres no worry
A blink and smile came onto his face, he gave a nod.
GG: Alright. There's some place we need to meet, in order to find Jade.
He texted him the directions and all, simply shrugging and putting the phone away when he didn't get anything back. He ran towards the college, hoping to find Tadashi. He ran into the lab, breathing out heavily. All eyes turned towards him, worrying. "Hiro? What's wrong?" Honey Lemon asked, sympathy and worry in her eyes. Hiro looked up, breathing out.
"I-I have news to tell you guys. I'll really need your help."
Wasabi narrowed his eyes. "What kind of news is it?"
"Yeah, and why should we listen?" Gogo sassed, chewing loudly on her gum. Hiro looked up.
"Weeelll, it's bad news. And you should listen because it's about one of our friends...More specifically Jade..."
"Ooooooh~ Does someone have a cruuuuuuush~?" Wasabi piped up, grinning, as if he didn't hear the 'bad news' part.
"No! J-just listen!"Hiro's face heated up slightly, a blush coming onto his face nearly full blast. By this point Tadashi had walked out, giving a small 'hmmm?' with him, and a gentle grin.
"Well, Jade has...You know the bot-fighter leader Yama?" They all nodded, narrowing their eyes. "Some of his henchmen had kind of taken Jade..." He looked down with a sigh, feeling guilt make millions of paper-weights onto his heart. Damn. He felt hella bad.
"W-whoa what?"Gogo asked, narrowing her eyes.
"You heard me. I can show you proof, by having Jade's phone. She has a friend who's going to help us, too. The guys name is Dave Strider.."
They all sighed, before Hiro piped up again after he had gotten Jade's phone out. "We should probably make a plan on what we're going to do before we do anything else, though." He showed them all the texts, earning a bit of a reaction from them, yet he had only gotten a shrug from Gogo before she walked off. It was clear she was thinking, though. Tadashi was looking like he was thinking rather hard.
"Well, we can probably get in there if we all made robots..." This made Hiro's head pop up and look up at everything that all of his comrades had made. Maybe he could actually make them robots like all of their inventions. Thoughts were flooding to his mind as he walked around.
"Though it would probably have to be completed by tomorrow...Which one of these things was the easiest for you guys to make?"
Honey Lemon gasped, raising her hand. "Mine! It's just a couple compounds!"She gave a giggle.
"How long did it take you to make the compounds into that?"
"...A lot of experimenting?"
He shrugged. "Can you make it aga-?"
"Hiro, Just use mine."Gogo rolled her eyes, tossing two smaller versions of her wheels at him, and then two more. "Make something out of it." She said simply, turning away from him and working on her bike again.
He nodded a thanks at her back, walking off to go and attempt to make a robot out of it in a couple hours. That was probably going to be harder than he would've thought.
[~] With Jade [~]
She gave a groan as she put her head in her hands, currently sitting in a building smelling of sweat, sake, and gambling. It was starting to get dark, and hope was still heavy in her heart, though it had faded since she was taken from the mall. No, she wasn't being starved, but there was face paint on her face, seeming as if it were in bright green lightning stripes. She had no idea where the inspiration had come from though.
A male had strode their way up to her back, Jade not taking any notice to him. Nor did she want to. She had noticed his presence, though she didn't want to acknowledge him. She felt hands on her still-growing curves, and jumped out of the chair, pointing a finger at the guy. "Don't you DARE touch me!" She growled, noticing how drunk the stranger looked.
"Hey, I was just trying to have a good time, you don't have to kill it." He stumbled back, rolling his eyes and walking off. She was hoping she was going to be fine, and maybe she was just going to be able to escape..Maybe not, it was a slightly scary thought to think she wasn't going to be able to get out of there. She shook her head, attempting to get the thoughts out of her fighting was starting, and she was just hoping that maybe Hiro...Or any of her friends, was going to come for her. She breathed in, staring up at the sky, since the roof was open from the bar. Thankfully, it wasn't raining. Well, not water.
