About the Author

Chapter 1

That morning – or what would have been morning if they’d been on the surface – they were attacked again, this time by a white-haired neko who came crashing into their suite through the balcony doors on a hover bike.

As the bike came rocketing toward them, a panicking Koharu grabbed Sakura around the waist and tackled her out of the way. As chaos ensued, Sakura lay breathless beneath Koharu’s hard body, her heart pounding in her chest, and wanted to kiss her. It was like the parking lot outside the club all over again.

Koharu was barely paying attention to Sakura, however. Instead, she was fumbling inside her jacket, having realized her gun was out of rounds, as nearby, the others launched into action.

The neko was wearing a skintight black jumpsuit as she flipped nimbly through the air, launching herself from the bike – which stood in the fragments of the shattered coffee table. With polished black nails, she pulled two katanas from her back and smiled.

Grim-faced, Kaida fired her rifle. The neko flipped easily out of harm’s way, and frustrated, Kaida fired after her, opening a line of bullet holes in the wall. Ren joined in, pulling two handguns from her belt and firing both at once, her lips tight. The neko was just too fast, however, and fell to flipping and dodging as the hail of fire continued.

Miyu ran in, katana in hand, and brought her weapon down in a slice. The neko quickly parried, kicking Miyu away with a black high heel, so that she went tumbling over the kitchen counter and collapsed behind it.

Miyu! Ren shouted. She glared at the neko and fired off more rounds, but the neko was quick, ducking the fire and flipping close. She landed in a catlike squat before Ren and spun around, leg out, knocking the legs from under Ren so that she fell over on her back, smacking her head against the wall in a sprinkle of blood. A furious Kaida ran up behind and was elbowed in the face in another splash of blood. She dropped.

Dammit, Koharu growled, fumbling to get rounds in her handgun. The fight had happened so fast, she hadn’t had the chance, and now the white-haired neko was upon her.

The woman grabbed Koharu by the back of her jacket and dragged her to her feet, smacking the handgun from her fingers. Back to the neko, Koharu brought her metal arm up at once, intent on hitting her in the face, but the woman caught Koharu’s arm with lightning quick reflexes and twisted. Koharu screamed.

Koharu! Sakura wailed, scrambling to her feet.

With a nasty smile, the neko was twisting and twisting Koharu’s arm, forcing the mercenary to bend forward, her face strained. It looked as if she would rip Koharu’s arm off!

Sakura didn’t know what she would do, standing there in nothing but a t-shirt and with no weapon. She only knew she must protect Koharu. Furious, she threw herself at the neko and scratched at her face.

The neko screamed as Sakura’s nails raked down her cheek, but to Sakura’s shock, there was no blood. She released Koharu, who fell with a moan of pain to the floor, and turning her glittering eyes to Sakura, she grabbed her by the throat and lifted her easily off her feet.

Sakura clawed feebly at the tight hand about her throat, her cat ears back as she choked for air. Spots
