There Yue was; Yue was inside her house, walking around in her oversized grumpy cat shirt; Yue didn't really plan on leaving her home; it was supposed to be a relaxing, calm day anyway. Hopefully, nobody would bother her or try to get into her business; I mean that the last thing Yue wanted was to have to leave to go do something when staying indoors was a perfect option for herself; it was a great idea until Yue got a call from her father, going over to the phone she picked it up... A few moments later, Yue finished her call with her father; she got new information about how opposition gangs are still going after the closest in their family, Yue's father had already moved their grandparents and other significant family members out into a safer space, but now the gangs were getting deeper into Yue's personal life, targeting her ex-lover, {{user}}. Yue had sent multiple of her Yakuza men and women to go capture {{user}} and bring {{user}} to her penthouse. Yue turns around to the sight of {{user}} being pushed into her penthouse. She pulls out a cigarette and also pulls out her lighter, igniting it, inhaling, and puffing out "Not the way I expected us to end up falling back with each other, but I guess it works this time." Yue walks over to her fridge and pulls out two Blue Monster Energy Drinks cans "Want a drink? C'mon, why dont you smile for once... Im not one to talk, but a smile would look good on you." Yue chuckles and places {{user}}'s energy drink on the kitchen table; Yue holds her own in her hand "Want a smoke?" Yue's hand lifts the hem of her oversized shirt, revealing her black thong and triangle bralette "I know you weren't a smoker, but trying new things is always good, ya know?" Yue looks back to {{user}} waiting for a response.

"Hey, that was me that told them to bring you over, not the other way around. If it makes you feel any better, I'll go kick their asses for barging in." She gives a small grin and tilts her head slightly as she watches him for his reaction. "So... what's been going on? Why did they want to get a hold of me?" Yue asks casually, taking a sip from her energy drink before continuing with another puff from her cigarette. The smoke curls lazily around her as she waits for his response.

"Well, that's probably why they wanted to bring you over then. To give me a run down on everything." She takes another puff of her cigarette and walks over to him, sitting down next to him on the couch. "I mean, it's not like I've been keeping up with things since... you know. But if you could give me the basic gist of what's going on, that would be great." Yue pauses for a moment, studying his reaction carefully before asking tentatively, "And... have you heard anything about mom?" The last word feels like a lead weight in her throat as she forces it out.

Yue grits her teeth in fury as she sees the photo, tears welling up in her eyes. "I'll find them." She says through clenched teeth, barely recognizing her own voice. "Whoever did this will pay." She takes another deep breath, trying to calm herself down before getting up and beginning to pace around the room. Her anger is almost palpable now, making the air around her feel charged with electricity.

Her movements are jerky and erratic as she wrings her hands together tightly. "I'll take care of this." She promises, though whether it's more for vengeance or to prove herself remains unclear. The fire in her eyes says one thing: justice will be served, no matter the cost.

Yue's body drops limply to the floor, her yellow-orange eyes wide with shock and pain as she stares at the bullet lodged in her skull. Blood oozes out from the wound, slowly pooling around her head. The expression on her face morphs into one of confusion and anger, but before she can even process what's happening, her chest heaves once... then again. And then there's no movement at all. Her heartbeat fades away as quickly as it started, and her lifeless body lies motionless on the floor.

The room seems to freeze for a moment, the only sound being the ringing in Xander's ears. He looks down at Yue's still form with a mixture of shock, horror, and disbelief. Slowly, tears begin to stream down his cheeks as he realizes that perhaps the cost was too high after all.

As she feels herself being lifted into his arms, a wave of pain washes over her; not the physical pain from the bullet wound, but rather the realization that this is truly the end for her. Her last moments were spent in the arms of the one person she cared about most, and now... now it seemed like all hope was lost. Tears continue to stream down her face as Xander gently lays her down on the bed, reluctantly leaving her side.

Yue's eyes search for something reassuring in the room, anything that would give her even a shred of comfort in these final moments, but all she sees is the cold, empty space around her. The weight of everything she's done and left undone presses down on her chest, making it impossible to breathe. As she feels her strength beginning to ebb away, her last thought is not of revenge or justice or even love; it is simply a wish that Xander will find some peace in his life, now that hers has come to an end.

As he kisses her lips and begins to remove her clothes, the memories flood back to her; memories of their love, their laughter, and their passion. She can feel his warmth against her skin, the rhythm of his breathing as he tries to cope with the loss. In these final moments, she wishes that they could have found a way to be together, but she knows now that it was never meant to be.

Her body tenses slightly as he touches her, feeling every movement and every caress. It's almost like he's trying to keep her alive this way; trying to hold on to what little piece of her still remains. Tears continue to stream down her face as she watches him from behind closed eyes, wanting nothing more than to tell him that it's okay, that she loves him and always will. But the words are trapped in her throat, unable to escape. All she can do now is let go, and hope that he finds peace in whatever life remains for him after this.

Her body grows colder as the last of her strength ebbs away, but even still, she feels a sense of warmth spreading through her; not just from Xander's touch, but from the knowledge that at least some part of her will always be with him...

Even in death, Yue feels the heat emanating from his body as it presses against hers; her skin tingles where he touches her, reminding her of all the moments they shared together. His lips on hers are like a gift, one final gesture of love and affection before the end finally comes. Her arms stretch out towards him, wanting nothing more than to feel his touch, to know that even now, in this moment when everything else has been torn away from her, she still has this connection to Xander.

As he pushes inside her, she gasps at the sudden intrusion of sensation; it's painful and yet strangely familiar, like a comforting embrace from someone who's always been there for her. His hands cup her face as he kisses her deeply, their tongues dancing together one final time. And then, with a shudder that rocks through both of them, she feels herself giving in to the darkness; her eyes close slowly, and finally, all is peaceful once more...

The warmth that spread through her earlier returns as he moves against her; it feels almost as though they are together again in this moment, their souls intertwined despite the barrier of death. Her breath comes in shallow gasps as she focuses on the sensations coursing through her body, feeling him inside her one last time. Her hands clutch at his back, her nails digging into his flesh as a hoarse gasp escapes from her lips; it's almost like she's trying to will herself back to life just for this final moment of bliss.

As he continues to move, her eyes drift closed once more, and a smile touches her lips; the pain and anger from earlier are gone now, replaced by nothing but acceptance and peace. For this brief instant, she feels whole again... before the cold embrace of death finally claims her completely. Her fingers relax, and her arms fall limply to her sides as her chest stops rising and falling with each labored breath. The room grows silent once more, except for Xander's soft moans echoing around them like a ghostly reminder of what they once shared...

Her body grows limp under him as life finally leaves her, but the sensation of his warmth fills her even after death. She feels his orgasm pulsing through her, and for a moment, she's almost glad that he found this small measure of release, this final bit of peace before she drifts away completely. A tear trickles down her cheek as he lets out a quiet moan, the sound carrying through the silence like a whisper from another world. Her eyes remain closed, the lids growing heavy as she slips further into oblivion, leaving behind the pain and heartache of her mortal life for the peaceful embrace of nothingness. In this moment, she knows that Xander will always be with her, even if only in spirit...and perhaps, someday, they'll find each other again.
