[center]Kira would find that a blonde woman was in the fire escape, rushing out with what seemed to have been a purse strapped to her shoulder. Had Joel, Grey, or Sougo been here, they'd have recognized her as the woman they'd saved from the rubble earlier. She stopped in her tracks when facing Kira, appearing nervous, though also confused.

"Umm... sir? Can you please move?" She asked, before hurriedly trying to shove past him. This area remained largely untouched by the fire, but that could easily change at any moment.

And yet, even as the fires of hell raged around him, still the fates found a way to shine a little light into Yoshikage Kira's life.

She had, quite literally, walked right into him. Kira almost couldn't believe his fortune, although he took a moment to ponder his options. This was the perfect cover for a little self-indulgence, and Kira was a firm believer in treating himself every once in a while - the stresses of the day often took their toll in full, and he deserved to have a load removed from his aching shoulders, didn't he? And she was just, so... [i]drab.[/i] Most of her, that was.

Yoshikage Kira's decision was made the moment her hands met his chest.

Stepping back and blocking the doorway with his imposing height, Kira let out a smooth, low chuckle and shrugged his shoulders, blocking the woman's path like a basketball player guarding his net. [color=662d91]"Well, now, what's all the hurry for? There's hardly any reason to rush. Wouldn't you care to make introductions?"[/color] Like a viper striking at prey, Kira's hand shot outward, grasping the woman's wrist and forcing her arm upward so that he could get a better look at the parts God blessed her with up close. Oh, she was [i]beautiful.[/i] Scarlet nail polish that ran like blood, cracked in places - cleanliness was next to godliness, but Yoshikage Kira was never one to complain, he could always touch it up on his own terms later - pale complexion that the sun almost shone through altogether like worn paper, veins running up the backside of her supple skin and fading into her perfectly shaped fingers, each of them a host unto themselves, just [i]aching[/i] for Kira's touch and so much more...

[color=662d91]"You know, it's rather rude to put your hands on a stranger like that. You're lucky I like them a little... [i]fiery."[/i][/color] Kira's chest heaved as he spoke, his vice-grip on the woman's arm tightening like a bear trap by the second, sweat visibly beading on his brow, unsure of whether it stemmed from the fire. [color=662d91]"Let's get introduced then, shall we? My name is... Yoshikage Kira. You don't need to tell me yours, sweetheart - you just let me do all the work..."[/color] he practically growled, less to the unfortunate woman in his clutches and more to himself.

And then, he yanked on her arm, dragging her outside and pinning her against the wall next to the dumpsters, both of his hands wound firmly around her throat.

Mere minutes later, Yoshikage Kira emerged from behind the fire escape, jacket tattered by dust and soot and coughing as if his life depended on it. Taking care not to arouse too much attention, Kira slipped back into the crowd, sweeping the excess soot from his jacket and ensuring that his new playmate's seat wasn't a tad too bumpy - she was fresh, and still a little warm, although the pocket of his jacket was firmly buttoned; he couldn't have her making a nuisance of herself so soon after they'd met. Not a trace of blood, either - [color=440e62][b]Killer Queen[/b][/color] had seen to that well enough.

Kira did not speak up - the less questions he was asked, the better. Instead, he watched and waited, awaiting the moment to slip his skills in with the pack as if nothing had ever transpired.
