Chapter 1: Fanged Organism eXterminators
"Ayaka! You have a customer!"
A young woman yells to her and quickly leaves the room crowded with girls getting dressed and putting on makeup. Ayaka sits in front of a mirror, making sure her makeup is perfectly applied to her soft light brown skin. Dark eyeshadow gave her smokey eyes and emphasized her ice blue eyes. She puts on lip gloss to give her lips a soft shininess and shakes her head, giving her short, already messy dark reddish-brown hair some more attitude. Ayaka once more looks into the mirror, satisfied with her appearance.
Looking at the clock, she sighs. "Yep, it's 11 pm. I'll see you girls later." Smoothing out a wrinkle on her short red dress, she waves to them and leaves the room. Some of the girls stops getting ready and yells "see ya!"
One of the girls, obviously new, goes over to a girl sitting in front of a mirror surrounded with bright lights. "Who's that?" The girl in front of the mirror looks confused. "You don't know Ayaka? Oh yeah, you are new..." She finishes up her makeup and spins around in her chair. "Ayaka is the best hostess here. She makes way more cash than us and she's really popular among the guys. Makes me jealous..." The new girl looks at the door. "Really? Hmmm...if she's the best here, then I'll have no problem with this job."
Ayaka goes out into the dimly lit room filled with the scent of alcohol and guys sitting at tables with hostesses, drinking, eating and having a good time. She spots her table in the corner and sees a guy sitting at the table. He looked young, about early to mid twenties, and had short black hair that was slightly spiked. The man leaned against the back of the booth and loosened another button on his black button down shirt. He closes his eyes as Ayaka slowly walks over to the table. She stops a few feet in front of him, taking a good look at him.
"Hi, my name is Ayaka and what's yours?" The guy opens his eyes and looks at her with tired gray eyes. Ayaka smirks and thinks to herself. Wow. This ones actually hot.
He offers her the other side of the booth, smiling. "Hello, Ayaka. I'm Takai." She sits down at the table and one of the waitresses brings them a bottle of sake. "If you need anything, just call me." She leaves and the two starts talking.
"Do you work Takai?" He scratches his head and she notices that he has a tattoo of a weird symbol on his neck. It was two overlapping cirlces with a line going through them. Ayaka wondered where it came from because she had never seen anything like it.
Takai chuckles. "Yeah, and the job is...something." Before Ayaka can ask where he worked, Takai quickly changed the subject. "So, tell me about yourself."
Some hours passed while Ayaka and Takai talked and laughed. They were on their fourth bottle of sake. Takai laughs loudly and takes another drink. "Hahaha! Then I said,...*hic* 'what the hell?! What kind of...guy do you think I am?! *hic* I'm into girls!'"
Ayaka laughs and takes a sip of sake out of her cup. "Wow. I went through something like that myself. The girl was devastated." The young man laughs and puts down his cup. "I think...*hic*...I had enough to drink...*hic* I'm ready to go...hey, you wanna...*hic*...come home with me?" She shrugs her shoulders. "Sorry, I can't. Club policy."
Drunk, Takai stands up and sways side to side, pulling out a cell phone. "Can I...*hic* at least get your number?" Ayaka helps him stand. She had always had a high tolerance to alcohol, so she rarely gets drunk. Even if she did, she could still function normally. Helping Takai stand, she thinks.
Well, he was the best customer I ever had, he's a cool person and I kinda like him...I guess it wouldn't hurt. She grabs his phone and realizes it's a highly advanced phone. She couldn't even figure out who the company of the phone was. Ayaka takes over five minutes to put her number into his phone and walks him to the door.
Outside, a man in a car is waiting. "Hey, Ayaka. This one lasted pretty late, huh? It's 2:43." She looks at the radio in the car, not realizing it was that late. "I guess so. He doesn't live far from here. Make sure he gets in, alright?" She helps Takai into the car. He stops her from shutting the door. "...I had a good time tonight Ayaka...*hic*...I'm sorry for *hic*...getting too drunk." She shakes her head. "You don't have anything to apologize for."
She tells him good night and shuts the door. The driver pulls off, leaving Ayaka on the sidewalk in front off the hostess club. "Well, I guess I better collect my earnings for the day and go home."
Unlocking the door to her small house and not turning on the lights, Ayaka collapses on the couch.
I actually had fun tonight. After six months of working at that club, I finally had a customer I liked. She rolls over onto her back and stares at the ceiling, letting her eyelids get heavy and close.
She sleeps for about thirty minutes before someone knocks at the back door. She sleepily gets up and stares blankly at the door. She wonders who it can be, since Seita moved out after their breakup, and why they would knock on the back door. Just to be safe, she picks up a bat she keeps hidden by the door.
Damn! Someone knocking at the back door at this time of night is never a good thing. She cautiously looks out the peephole to see a young man with pale skin and a white hoody covering up his head standing at the door. He had a punk rock style to his clothing.
She shouts loud enough for him to hear. "Who are you and what do you want?" She grips the handle of the bat with one hand. He looks around and knocks again. "Can you please open the door? I'm in a jam."
Ayaka gets ready to tell him to go away, but for some reason, her hand unlocks the door. Before she knew it, she opened the door and let him in. "You didn't answer my question. Who are you and--"
He closes the door and leans against it. "I think I finally lost them...god, I'm hungry! I'll answer your question if you let me get something to eat." Ayaka frowns and thinks, still gripping the bat behind her back. He must be one of Seita's friends.
"Look, you can get something to eat, but Seita doesn't live here anymore, so you're going to have to leave." She hears a noise and glances back at the front door.
Ayaka turns back around to see him only inches from her face. "What? How did you--?"
The guy laughs. "You said I can get something to eat..." He looks into her eyes with bright true blue eyes, and she stands motionless. It was like she was paralyzed and couldn't move a muscle.
He notices the bat and takes it from her. "You don't need this." He sets it down on the floor. "Don't worry. You're cute, so I won't make it hurt." He grins, showing a pair of shiny white fangs.
The hostess tries to run, but something in his eyes won't let her. He grabs her and whispers in her ear. "I bet your blood tastes amazing." He bares his fangs and goes for her neck.
Before he could bite her, loud sniffing noises are heard underneath the door. The young man gets distracted and Ayaka seizes her opportunity. She pushes him away and goes for the bat. He looks back and she swings the bat as hard as she could at his head. A sick cracking noise is heard and he falls to the floor, motionless.
Ayaka sighs and tries to catch her breath, but the young man slowly gets back up to Ayaka's surprise. "What the hell?! You should be dead!" He laughs at her ignorance.
"Please don't tell me you haven't figured it out yet. I'm a vampire, baby. I don't die easy." He stares at her again and she's frozen in her tracks. "Now don't make this harder than it--"
Someone begins pounding at the door and he's distracted again. "Dammit! They're here. I can't fight them until I feed." Ayaka runs into the living room and reaches under the couch. The guy follows and stands above her as she frantically reaches out her hand under the couch.
Where is it?! It should be here! I didn't move it, did I?!
He laughs and ducks down next to her, biting his lip, craving for blood. "I can make you a vampire, too. You can be my woman." Feeling the cold smooth metal of Seita's gun, Ayaka pulls it out and aims it at the vampire's chest. "No one owns Ayaka Idane."
She pulls the trigger and the bullet goes straight through his heart. He grabs his chest and tries to go for her, but he falls to the ground. The hostess wobbles to her feet, weakened by the ordeal as someone busts down the door.
Two guys run into the room. One of them is average height and skinny with few muscles and long straight red hair that is tied at the end. He wore a baggy gray T-shirt and blue jeans. The other had very messy blond hair that just barely fell on his shoudlers. He was tall and in shape, but not overly muscular. He wore a green shirt and blue jeans, along with black gloves. What was unusal was that the blond-haired man had black wolf ears sticking out of his head and a black tail coming out the back of his pants. Both had black guns, aimed at the dead vampire on the floor.
Ayaka aims the gun at them. "Are you two vampires, too? Cause I can waste you right now!" The guy with the wolf ears and tail lowers his gun. "Vampire? Me? No, no. You see, I'm a werewolf." She stares at him confused. The red-haired guy reaches out his hand, putting away his gun. "We're not here to hurt you. Give us the gun."
"Hell no! You can be lying!" The werewolf sighs and looks at her seriously. "If we were here to kill you, trust us. You would be dead right now. Now put down the gun." Ayaka reluctantly lowers the gun and gives it to the guy. "Who are you people?"
Putting the gun on a nearby table, the guy maneuvers his shirt and moves his hair, showing her his neck. The werewolf does the same. Each has a tattoo of a weird, yet familiar symbol on his neck. It was two overlapping circles with a line going through them.
She looks at them confused. "Am I suppose to know what that means?" The guy covers up his neck. "We are FOXes." Ayaka points at the werewolf.
"Foxes? I thought Scooby over here was a werewolf." The werewolf gets upset. "Scooby?! I take offense to that, you--!"
The red-haired guy stops the werewolf from going on. He calmly talks to Ayaka. "He is a werewolf." She scratches her head. "So why did you say you two were foxes?" The guy nods his head. "We are. FOX stands for fanged organism exterminators. That's our job."
Ayaka puts up a finger. "First off, exterminators starts with an e." The werewolf claps. "Wow, she knows how to spell." She shoots a look at him. "Shut up, Lassie."
"Lassie?! That's not even a guy!"
"Michio. Enough," the red-haired guy says calmly.
The blond werewolf turns around. "Dammit, Reizo! Tell her to quit with the names!" Reizo speaks to Ayaka. "Could you please stop calling him names? He's sensitive to that." She nods her head and he continues speaking.
"Anyway, I didn't come up with the name." Ayaka puts up another finger. "Secondly, what is that? A fanged organism exterminator?"
"We are basically vampire and/or werewolf hunters." She looks at Michio."So what's with the werewolf?"
Reizo looks at him as well. "He's my partner. Every human member of The Agency has a werewolf or vampire partner. Mortal enemies." She nods her head. "Makes sense..."
Ayaka sits down on the couch, still in shock that vampires and werewolves actually existed. Michio examines the vampire's body. "Wow. She got him with a single bullet. Straight through. Reizo, this is a Level 3 target." Reizo thinks for a moment and smiles. Michio catches on and smiles too.
Ayaka leans her head back and looks at the two upside-down. "What are you two smiling about?"
Michio leans against the couch. "So, how do you feel about becoming a FOX?"
