Okay people this is a story idea that had been floating around in my head for a while. So I had finally decided to write/ type it out and post it. Hope you all of you enjoy the chapter. Characters will be mostly OOC.
Ja Ne!
NEW BEGINNING'S
CH. 1
Silently a cold wind made its way though the midnight air in which the stars hung while the moon remained oddly absent. Calmly a single male figure made his way through the night almost paying no head to the wind as it wound itself around his frame. The only other source of light was the occasional street lamp that remained lit.
The male figure looked to be six maybe seven years old, stood 3' 2", had dark brown hair that almost seemed black with out the moons light, and a pair of chocolate brown eyes that continued to stare in front of him. The figure wore a black form fitting t-shirt, black pants along with a blood red belt that had a silver five pointed star buckle. To top off his outfit he also wore a black trench coat that was slightly opened at the top to allow a feint breeze to keep him from getting to warm. Upon the back of his coat was the similar five-pointed star.
"I can't believe that it's already been two months since that happened." Mused the boy out load not fearing being over heard as he tilted his head towards the sky before a black Mercedes silently passed him and paused to turn into one of the warehouses. Calmly he continued to stare at where the Mercedes disappeared to before he calmly released a light sigh.
'Thank Kami-sama that it wasn't them.' Thought the boy before he continued upon his midnight walk while absently taking note of the warehouse number.
"Warehouse 140." He silently whispered as he shrugged his shoulders and continued for several more warehouses down before the same black Mercedes passed by him once more and stopped in front of him. Silently he stood there hopping they would pass once more as they had done earlier. Sadly the vehicle remained parked there as the passenger door opened and a man stepped out.
The man wore a black suit complete with black tie and dress shoes. He was also wearing a pair of midnight single way black sunglasses despite the fact it was just passing midnight.
"Can I help you?" asked the boy calmly while inside he was seething at the thought that he may once more end up in a Child support home.
"Get in the car." Was all the man said as he stood calmly by the Mercedes.
"And if I choose not to?" asked the child while a feint smirk made its presence known on the mans face before it disappeared as quickly as it came.
"I was hopping you would ask that." Said the man as he calmly snapped his fingers. Not long after there were a series of lights that shone down from every possible angle to illuminate the surrounding area. Quickly two more men came out of the Mercedes one from the driver's seat and the other from the back passenger's seat.
'Shit…I am most definitely surrounded. I guess that leaves me with the option that they mentioned earlier.' Thought the boy before he said, "Fine I'll come with you."
"Good now get in the back of the car." Growled out the man. Calmly the boy walked towards the car and got in without hesitation before two of the men sat on either side of him as the final climbed into the driver's side and they drove off towards the same warehouse he saw them enter before.
'Just who are these people?' wondered the boy as he calmly took note of when they entered the warehouse. Along the walls were several boxes that had an abnormal symbol that resembled a cross in bedded within a six-pointed star.
'Why do I suddenly get the feeling that I'm not going to like this.' Mentally complained the boy as he face palmed himself and then was suddenly pulled forward as the car ground to a stop around half way through the warehouse.
Silently they, as in the three black suited men, got out of the Mercedes before he, the boy, was forcefully pulled out of the car.
"Walk." Was all the men said as the driver lead the way through the warehouse while the boy followed behind rather closely to and the last two followed them as well. Sadly neither of the men were able to notice the fact that the child was calmly memorizing the route they took along with the warehouse design.
'This warehouse is most definitely not normal. All these boxes with the same markings on them lining the walls and also creating corridors and then there's the fact as to why they took me?' silently thought they boy as his eyes never removed themselves from the mans back.
"Troublesome." Muttered the boy as he continued to fallow the man before he stopped in front of a steel door that looked like it had several dents in it.
"You two hold him." Calmly stated the first man who the boy was beginning to realize was the possible leader of this operation. Calmly the other two picked the boy up by his arms as the door was opened and he was tossed into the room beyond and the door sealed enshrouding him a never-ending darkness.
"UGH!! Damn they didn't have to be so rough." Said the boy as he calmly stood up while dusting himself off as best as he could.
"Hmm…I wonder where I am though?" said the boy before he herd something dragging itself or maybe it was a pair of feet along the ground towards him from behind. Calmly he turned towards the sounds origin before he calmly pulled out a flashlight from his pants upper pocket on his left leg only to drop it a moment later after noticing a pair of blood red eyes staring at him. Calmly keeping his eyes trained on the unknown things eyes he bent down and grabbed his flashlight and turned it on allowing a feint amount of illumination to surround him. Despite the fact that the illumination was very light he and the thing were still forced to cover their eyes from the brightness that it caused them.
Not much later his vision returned to him allowing him to take a closer look at his unknown visitor or maybe captive. One of the first things he noticed was the fact that the thing was actually a female that stood 3' 1", had bright silver hair that shone similar to the moon, and a pair of blood red eyes. She was wearing a blood red dress that had white lace that ran along the bottom edge of the dress and a pair of black dress shoes.
"Uhh…and you would be…" started the boy while pointing at the girl.
"Umm… Moka Akashiya and you are?" asked Moka as she pointed at him.
"Ugh…sorry my name is Tsukune Aono." Said Tsukune as he held out his hand towards Moka.
"Nice to meet you." Said the both of them at the same time as they shook one another's hands.
"Wait did you just say the same thing as me?" asked the both of them once more as they pointed to the other then pointed at themselves before placing their hands over their mouths.
Calmly Tsukune removed his hands from his mouth only for Moka to do the same before they connected their hands as if they were placing it upon a mirror. Calmly Tsukune then let his arm drop as Moka did the same thing. Tsukune then did a little hop, and so did Moka. Just as Tsukune was about to say something, Moka opened her mouth to say something as well, then they both closed their mouths. This continued on for a while until Tsukune (finally) was able to say something without Moka copying him.
"Ummm…why exactly are you here?" asked Tsukune towards Moka.
"Actually I was hopping you could tell me that." Replied Moka as she smiled sheepishly while Tsukune had to resist the urge to hit his head on the floor.
"Well then I guess we're in the same boat considering the fact that I have no idea what so ever as to why you're here or even a clue as to why I'm here as well." Said Tsukune as they both sighed.
"So………Do you have any idea as to how to get out of………where ever we're at?" asked Tsukune hoping that she would at least have some sort of idea.
"Actually yeah I do…although it requires us to go through the ventilation system." Said Moka as she led him towards the vents location. The vents location was luckily on the floor allowing them easy access to it and the ventilation shaft looked large enough for the both of them to crawl through. The only off thing was the fact that it was bent in multiple places and had multiple pieces missing. Calmly Tsukune looked over at Moka who just so happened to be whistling.
"What? I'm just whistling." Stated Moka as Tsukune continued to fix her with the Yeah-and-I-wasn't-just-born-yesterday look.
"Ok maybe I did a little of destroying the metal grating." Replied Moka as she turned around but could still feel his gaze locked on her.
"Ok fine I did it but it was because I didn't like how I had to sleep with the lights on and the fact of the security camera always watched me was unnerving." Growled out Moka as she pointed to the left corner of the room where Tsukune calmly flashed his flashlight to see the security camera impaled with a shard of the grating.
'Note to Self: Don't enrage Moka.' Thought Tsukune while a small sweat drop made its way down his head.
"Well we can get out of here this way but I'm going to need to pull the grating off luckily I have a screwdriver in one of my…pockets." Said Tsukune as he started to search his pockets never noticing Moka walk and push him out of the way before gripping the grating and pulling it off.
"Or we can do it my way." Said Moka as she stood their smiling at Tsukune who had just found his screwdriver.
"Smart ass." Muttered Tsukune under his breath.
"I heard that." Stated Moka as she tossed the grating to the other side of the room and imbedded it into the door and wall.
"Just shut up and lets get out of here." Growled Tsukune as he placed the flashlight in his mouth and started crawling into the ventilation shaft. Silently Moka shrugged her shoulders before she followed after him and quietly caught up to him.
"So…now that we're out of the holding cell, if you want to even call it that, where will we go?" asked Moka as she continued to fallow Tsukune.
"For starters I'm getting you back to your parents. As for me…well you possibly won't see me again." Calmly said Tsukune as he continued moving forward before he felt Moka grab his foot.
"What to you mean I won't see you again?" asked Moka as her voice wavered.
"Moka…I'm a danger to…you and I don't want to threaten your future. The last people…no I…I don't want to talk about this right now." Said Tsukune as he kept his voice calm and even. Despite that fact Moka was still able to detect a feint amount of despair in his voice.
Slowly Moka released his foot before she silently nudged him to continue moving.
'I…I don't want to talk about this right now. Tsukune what do you mean? Wha…What could have caused you to think like that?' thought Moka as a tear made its way down her face. Calmly she lifted her hand to wipe it away.
'Tears? Dad always said it was a sin to show emotion but mom……mom always said that showing emotion would help me make friends. I'm sorry dad but mom is right emotion will help me gain friends.' Thought Moka as she calmly moved forward once more while she allowed her tears to fall after several years of not crying.
(Several mins. later)
Calmly Tsukune finally stopped in front of last air grate within the portion of the air ventilation shafts before he turned towards Moka whose face was red and puffy.
'Was…was she…crying?' wondered Tsukune before he shook his head.
"We're here." Said Tsukune as he pointed out of the grating showing the cars under side.
"Yeah I kind of figured that out when you suddenly stopped. Although there is one little detail that is unnerving me." Said Moka as Tsukune calmly pushed up on the grating.
"And…grunt…what would that be?" asked Tsukune as he pushed the grating out of the way.
"Well where are the three men that brought us here at?" asked Moka.
"More that likely they heard you pulling the grating and tossing it into the opposite wall. They are more than likely trying to enter the room to check on us. Once they see we aren't in there they will most defiantly send one of them into the ventilation shaft to hunt us down while the other two will lock this place up." Said Tsukune as he crawled out and quickly helped Moka out.
"How can you be certain?" asked Moka as she watched Tsukune replace the grating over the ventilation.
"I just know and your just going to have to take my word for it." Answered Tsukune as he kept his gaze even with Moka's.
"Fine…but after this you had better tell how you know this." Sighed out Moka as she watched Tsukune crawl out from underneath the car as she did the same.
"Your right and I will tell you later." Said Tsukune as he tested the driver's door only for it to open upon him pulling the handle.
"Ok…if these people are trying to kidnap us then they are stupid." Said Moka as she looked at Tsukune before he motioned for her to climb in. As silently as she could she quickly got into the front passenger's side seat as Tsukune climbed into the driver's seat before he quickly pulled out the dashboard and cut several of the wires.
"Why did you do that?" asked Moka while rage filtered through her eyes.
"It's called hotwiring." Replied Tsukune as he worked swiftly connecting several wires before he inserted a small metal piece into the ignition.
"Cross your fingers and pray that this works." Said Tsukune as he turned the key. Silently they waited for what seemed an eternity for the engine to kick in before they heard the definite sound of the engine starting.
"You did it!" shouted Moka in happiness as she leaned over and gave him a quick hug before she quickly removed herself from him and buckled herself up.
"Yeah I did. Alright hang on." Said Tsukune as he quickly slid his buckle into place and slammed the door shut. He then slid the vehicle from park into drive and slammed the gas all the way to the floor allowing the engine's roar to echo through the warehouse before it took off towards the main doors.
(Else where in the warehouse)
"God damnit! Where the hell are they." Growled out one of the guards as he continued to search the room while the others stood at the doors entrance.
"Ugh…calm down Seiji." Calmly said another one of the guards as he walked into the room.
"Don't tell me what to do Hiyou!" growled out Seiji as he stared at him.
"Both of you shut up." Snarled the last guard as he fixed both of them with a glare remaining by the door.
"O…of cou…course…Reishin-san." Stuttered both Seiji and Hiyou at the same time as they looked at one another before they looked back at Reishin only to see him turned around.
"Good now then I believe that they are no longer in the room." Said Reishin as he stood near the door.
"Wha…" started Hiyou before whatever else he would have said was cut off by the sound of a motor.
"They've hijacked my car!" shouted Seiji as he ran out of the room towards the cars location.
Calmly Hiyou looked at Reishin before asking, " Are we going to follow him?"
"Yeah but only because he still owes me money. Otherwise he is………disposable." Said Reishin as he calmly followed never noticing Hiyou look at him in shock.
'Ugh…does this mean…' started thinking Hiyou before he shook his head clearing that thought from his mind. Quickly he followed after.
(With Moka and Tsukune)
'I hope they haven't heard us yet.' Thought Tsukune as he calmly kept his foot on the gas.
"Uh…Tsukune. Quick question. Is it possible for a human to catch up to a moving car?" asked Moka as she stared at the rearview mirror.
"Uh…that isn't possible. Why though?" asked Tsukune as he kept his eyes plastered towards the warehouse entrance which was at his best guess less than 550 ft.
"Well then your not going to want to look out the rearview mirror." Replied Moka as she noticed Tsukune look out the rearview mirror before his eyes opened in shock or horror.
"Hang on." Replied Tsukune as he quickly places the car in first gear and throwing more gas to the engine allowing them to cover the rest of the distance to the entrance in record time.
(With Seiji)
"Get back here with my car!" shouted Seiji as he ran after his car as Tsukune continued to drive away leaving Seiji in a cloud of dust.
"Cough cough…Seiji where are you." Calmly stated Hiyou as he made his way through the dust cloud while Reishin stayed behind.
"I'm over here." Growled out Seiji as he calmly walked out of the cloud and walked further into the warehouse.
"Where do you think your going?" asked Reishin as he looked at Seiji who kept his back turned on Reishin.
"I'm going to get my car back along with those children." Calmly stated Seiji without turning to look at Reishin and continued to walk away.
"And how do you plan to do that?" asked Hiyou.
"Easy…if you can't beat them join them." Said Seiji as he pulled a tarp off of a set of three midnight black motorcycles.
"Uh…when did you get those?" asked Hiyou as he pointed at the motorcycles before he was forced to catch a midnight black helmet and keys while Reishin was also forced to do the same thing.
"Bought them a little bit over a week ago. Kind of figured that they would come in handy along with the tracking chip that I implanted into my car." Said Seiji as a two-thousand watt smile stretched across his face.
"For once your actually using your brain Seiji…I'm shocked." Coolly stated Reishin as he walked towards Seiji.
"Reishin don't start that shit. Lets just go get his car and the kids and call it a night." Yawned out Hiyou as he hopped onto the motorcycle while the others did the same before they place on their helmets and inserted the keys into the ignition. Not more than a split second later three simultaneous engines starting could be herd throughout the warehouse before all three left in a furry speed and sound.
(Once more with Moka and Tsukune)
"Hey Tsukune…now that I think about…WHERE THE HELL IN KAMI'S NAME ARE WE GOING!?" shouted Moka as Tsukune continued to drive through the warehouse district before he turned off towards the shipping sector.
"Easy…were going to eliminate…a few problems." Said Tsukune as a dark aura made its way around him.
"What…" started Moka before she caught sight of three headlights shining directly at them from the review mirror.
"What ever you're going to do it now." Said Moka as she held on too the seat for dear life as Tsukune quickly through the car into second gear before he pulled on the emergency break and pulled off a sharp turn around a crate and continued to drive. Not much longer two of the vehicles came from both sides of the crate before the third landed right in front of them allowing them to realize that they were motorcycles.
"Hang on tight." Was all Tsukune said before he through all his weight onto the breaks and onto the steering wheel forcing them into a U-turn before he t shot his foot onto the gas allowing them to escape their captors for a few seconds.
"Where are your parents?" asked Tsukune towards Moka as he raced his way through the warehouse district once more as the motorcycles were steadily catching up.
"Ugh… they're staying in Kushiro." Replied Moka before she had to grip the seat for all her life was worth as Tsukune once more did a U-turn forcing the car to face there pursuers as he once more through gas into the engine firing them off towards the three cycles.
(With the cyclists)
'What the hell is this kid doing in my car?' thought Seiji as he swerved off towards the left.
'Yawn…I hope this ends soon I'm so tired.' Thought Hiyou as he swerved off towards the right.
'…………………………Interesting. Turning a dire situation into something that he can work with.' Thought Reishin as he speed his cycle up before he turned off to the left just a split second before he would have struck the car.
(With Tsukune and Moka)
"Good Kami what the hell was that idiot thinking." Growled out Tsukune before he silently turned off towards the main road.
"Uh…Tsukune where are we going?" asked Moka as she stared at him as he drove a good 5 to 10 miles over the speed limit.
"We're heading to Kushiro's main commercial docking center." Said Tsukune as he swerved past a blood red corvette that was right in front of them.
"WHAT!!!" shouted Moka as she looked at him in shock.
"Yeah we're going there. By the way open the glove compartment and if you see something flashing grab it and hand it to me." Said Tsukune as he continued to push the car faster.
"Okay." Replied Moka as she opened the glove compartment and pulled out the owner's manual, a pair of sunglasses, plastic bags, red duck tape, 3 sticks of TNT, and finally a small circuit that continued to flash a small green light.
"Is this it?" asked Moka as she held it out to Tsukune who calmly took it into one of his hands and held it in front of his face.
"Yep…now take the wheel." Said Tsukune as he released the wheel forcing Moka to grab it before they went off the edge of the road.
'Tsukune is absolutely entirely beyond crazy.' Thought Moka as Tsukune undid his seat belt and jumped into the back seats as she was forced to remove her seatbelt and take his place in the driver's seat.
"Is this even legal?" asked Moka while Tsukune started to remove a few wires here and there on the object.
"In some countries yes but in Japan no." replied Tsukune as he continued to fidget with the gadget while Moka slowly turned even paler.
"Ah…got it." Said Tsukune as he calmly moved up into the front passenger seat and smiled at Moka.
"Got what?" asked Moka as she continued to follow the road while silently praying that no cops would force them to pull over.
"A tracking device. This also explains as to how they were able to find us so quickly. By the way turn off at the next exit." Said Tsukune as he held a handful of wires and metal fragments. Moka said nothing to that as she continued to focus on driving before she turned onto the exit Tsukune said she should take.
(With the cyclists')
"OH…COME ON!!" shouted Seiji loud enough for both Reishin and Hiyou to hear.
"What?" asked Hiyou.
"Those brats removed my tracking device from my vehicle." Said Seiji.
"It doesn't matter I already know where they are heading." Replied Reishin.
"Where?" asked Hiyou.
"Easy they're heading for the commercial docks." Said Reishin.
(Back with Moka and Tsukune)
"Alright once we reach the docks park underneath one of the street lamps in front of one of the older storage houses." Calmly stated Tsukune as he started to inspect the sticks of TNT before he shrugged his shoulders and took the duck tape and began to tape the sticks together.
"Alright." Said Moka as she continued to fallow Tsukune's instructions and parked in front of the oldest of all the store houses and under the street lamp. Calmly she attempted to open her door only for it to lock. Calmly she looked at Tsukune as he stared off into the night sky.
"I told you that I would tell you about me so I give some information about me. For starters I'm an only child and both of my parents are deceased. It's odd really on nights like this when you could see the stars my parents would always tell me about how the stars and constellations gained their names. Then they would always tell me that no matter what happened to them that they would always watch me from the heavens. I guess what I'm trying to tell you is that I'm not going to hurt you. You don't have to be afraid of me." Said Tsukune as he calmly looked at Moka who was locking at him with sadness swimming in her eyes.
"Tsukune…" started Moka before she was cut off by Tsukune saying, "don't worry about it I'm over my parents' death. Now then let's have some fun.
"Really. What kind?" asked Moka as a grin broke out upon her face.
"The type that is really bloody." Replied Tsukune as a similar grin found its way to his face.
"Excellent." Replied Moka as a pair of fangs made themselves present in her mouth. Calmly Tsukune and Moka exited the car while Tsukune held the TNT in his hands.
"Ok the first one that will be killed will be the one who goes after the car." Said Tsukune as he tossed the TNT up and down in the air rather carelessly before catching it.
"Tsukune stop that. What if when you drop the TNT it blows up!" shouted Moka in concern.
"Moka that only happens in cartoons." Replied Tsukune as he tossed the TNT once more and ended up not catching it allowing it to fall to the ground. Silently it struck the ground before it blew up.
Silently it struck the ground but didn't do anything as Tsukune stood there smiling.
"Told you." Said Tsukune as he picked the TNT up as Moka stood there in shock.
"Bu…but I could have sworn that…" started Moka as she continued to stare at Tsukune in shock.
"That the TNT blew up." Finished Tsukune as Moka only nodded her head in confirmation.
"That was a complete illusion and trust me I have several thousand." Said Tsukune as he stared at Moka who shook herself out of her shock.
"Ok so you use illusions. But that is irrelevant right now what is important is how we are going to kill one of those idiots." Said Moka as she watched Tsukune hock the three TNT bombs up to several of the wires that connected to the ignition before he calmly slipped the bombs under the steering wheel.
"I get it when he starts the car the bombs will kill him making it look as if it was an accident." Said Moka.
"Exactly." Said Tsukune as he replaced the tracking chip in the glove compartment and reactivated it.
"Now they should be able to find us." Said Tsukune as he calmly shut all the doors and pulled Moka towards the decrypted cabin.
(Back With the Cyclists)
"I got them and they're at the……commercial………docks." Said Seiji as he looked at the road.
"Told you." Said Reishin rather calmly.
"OH shut up smart ass." Shouted Seiji.
"Whatever." Said Hiyou.
(With Tsukune and Moka)
"OK so one will die from the car explosion, but how will the others die?" asked Moka as she calmly removed her hand from Tsukune and followed him.
"Easy we're going to kill them." Said Tsukune as he lead Moka through the house's halls before he stopped in a dimly lit hallway that only had the light of the moon coming through a broken window.
"You are going to have to lead one of them over here. Once you get him here use the shadows to come up behind him and snap his neck or drain him of his blood." Replied Tsukune as he noticed Moka become slightly worried before it was replaced with a wickedly evil smile.
"But what about the last one?" asked Moka as she looked at Tsukune.
"Don't worry about him I'll take good care of him." Said Tsukune as an evil grin suddenly grew across his face before he disappeared into the shadows.
"Whoa." Whispered Moka before she calmly shook her head and made her way to a bathroom. Silently she searched the house for any bathrooms.
"Now where would a bathroom be?" wondered Moka as she continued searching until she walked passed by the bathroom. Slowly she continued to walk until realization made its way upon her face.
'I wonder if it's possible for me to refocus a small amount of my yokai into my finger nails.' Thought Moka as she calmly ripped the center of her dress out leaving her in a top and skirt before she silently began to transfer a miniscule amount of yokai into her finger nails. All of a sudden her nails shot out a good 3-5 inches further than what they used to be.
"Excellent." Whispered Moka as a far more evil grin made its way onto her face before she punched the glass mirror and took a shard with her as she walked back to her position and knelt onto the floor.
(With the Cyclists)
Silently they made their way through the main road that lead towards the main commercial shipping district. They traveled for what seemed to be hours when in reality is was less than a few minutes. Finally Seiji was able to take notice of his Mercedes sitting under a street lamp in front of an old shipping commander's cabin that was well beyond run-down.
Quickly Seiji parked his motorcycle and jumped off it before he began to run to his car. Silently the other two did the same thing only they decided to continue towards the cabin.
"Oh my baby. My baby. Are you all right? Those mean children didn't harm you did they?" asked Seiji as he hugged his car.
"Oh my Kami……I think I'm going to be sick." Said Hiyou as he and Reishin continued towards the cabin.
"Seiji if you're just going to talk to your car why don't you just take it home?" asked Reishin as he continued to walk towards the cabin.
"You're absolutely right. I'll see you guys tomorrow." Said Seiji as he jumped into his car and inserted the keys into the ignition and started up the engine.
"Idiot." Said Hiyou as he turned around to face Reishin before asking, "Reishin are you sure it's best for us to let him retu……". That was all he was able to say before a resounding explosion was heard from right behind him. Quickly he turned around to see that Seiji's car was on fire. Seiji was of course no longer in this realm as he had died the second that the explosion occurred.
(With Moka)
"BOOM!" was all that Moka was heard before she was overcome with an unhealthy giddiness.
"Now I get to play." Said Moka as she calmly waited.
(Back with Hiyou and Reishin)
"SEIJI!" shouted Hiyou as he ran towards the raging fire that was formerly a car.
"HIYOU! That's enough." Calmly said Reishin as Hiyou stopped in midstride before he turned towards Reishin.
"Wha…how could you say that?" asked Hiyou as he stared at Reishin in shock.
"Hiyou listen to yourself. Seiji is already dead all that matters now is our job." Said Reishin as he stared at directly at him.
"The job…is that all you care about?" asked Hiyou as he stared at Reishin still holding his calm posture.
"What I care about is none of your concern. Now let's go get those brats." Said Reishin as he started to walk towards the cabin. Silently Hiyou followed after while muttering under his breath. Calmly Reishin faced the door before he delivered a solid kick to it making it fly off of its hinges and fly into the opposite wall.
(With Moka)
CRACK! Was heard as the moon was immediately covered by the clouds almost similar to that of a mother covering her child's eyes.
'Show time.' Thought Moka as she quickly stabbed herself in her thigh with a small shard of glass. She was able to repress the urge to scream but allowed her tears to fall before she quickly hid her face in her hands and silently began to cry.
(With Reishin and Hiyou)
"Hey Reishin do you hear that?" asked Hiyou as he walked through the doorway into the house.
"Hear what?" asked Reishin as he pulled the door from the wall and tossed it through one of the doorways.
"It sounds like crying." Responded Hiyou as he started to walk towards the sounds origin hoping to find whatever was making the noise.
"If you hear crying then go check it out." Replied Reishin before he began to walk towards one of the doors and open it before he began to walk into the room beyond.
"Fine you can check the basement then." Said Hiyou as he started walking towards the hallway that the sound originated from. Calmly he continued to walk down the hallway not being able to see anything. The only thing guiding him was the feint sound of crying which seemed to be growing louder. Just as he was half-way through the hallway before the moon once more made its presence known to the world and came through the broken window allowing him to take notice of a figure crying on the ground with blood running down her leg.
'A kid.' Thought Hiyou as he calmly approached her.
"Hey are you alright?" he asked as the figure stopped crying before it stood up and turned towards him. The second they made eye contact the figure let out a shrill shriek before it rushed Hiyou.
Silently Hiyou stood their unable to do anything as he noticed it was the girl they had kidnapped earlier. The next second he knew he was on the ground as the girl was quickly raising her clawed hands before she brought them down in quick deadly strikes.
"AAAAGGGHHHH!!!!!!" shouted Hiyou as the claws cut through his flesh like a hot knife through butter before the girl once more brought her hands up for another strike and continued to do so until his organs were nothing but liquid in her hands. Out of pure curiosity she dropped her hands into the liquid before she brought them to her face and began to lick them clean.
"Tastes similar to blood but more………interesting." Said Moka as she drove her face into the mess she made and began to drink more of it.
(With Reishin)
'Hiyou you don't know a thing about me. This mission isn't important to me…my families safety is.' Thought Reishin as he continued his descent into the basement. Calmly he stepped off of the last step before he heard Hiyou shout in pain. Quickly his expression changed into worry.
'NO! IF HE DIES MY FAMILY WILL BE KILLED!' thought Reishin as he quickly climbed the stairs before he felt something grab him by the ankle and pull him down the stairs.
"KITSUNE BI!" shouted Reishin as he launched a quickly made fire ball struck the ceiling/ floor of the upper level illuminating the basement showing some sort of black organic tissue holding his leg pulling him along the stairs and floor towards a small hole in the wall.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" shouted Reishin as he continued to throw several fireballs at the thing hoping to get it to let go of him but continued to miss. Just as he thought he was going to be pulled through the thing had released him. Quickly without thinking he got up before the organic tissue came back and grabbed him by the face and pulled him through. All that remained of him was his left arm, right leg, and a pool of his blood coming from the hole.
(With Moka)
Calmly she lifted her face from the former living being before she looked at the moon as the moons light shone on her face showing that it was covered with blood and a few internal organ pieces that she missed during her mauling of the man.
"You wanna know something that's odd. Your blood taste similar to that of a Kitsune's." said Moka as she wiped her face on whatever remained of the man's clothing that wasn't already covered in blood or destroyed.
"NOOOOOOO!!!!!" was all Moka heard before she made her way towards where the sound originated and got there just in time to see Reishin pulled through the hole in the wall.
"HEHEHEHEHEH! Tsukune you out did yourself." Said Moka as she silently left the building after noticing the multiple fires upon the basement's ceiling. Calmly she walked out of the building and stopped to turn to her left to see Tsukune leaning against the wall before she smiled at him not the insane smile but a genuine smile that radiated happiness.
"So……did you enjoy yourself and the show?" asked Tsukune as he calmly pulled out a packet of cigarettes and took one out before he offered one to Moka who calmly took one.
"Actually that is the most fun I've ever had." Replied Moka as she watched Tsukune pull out a lighter and light the cigarette before he lit Moka's.
"Well that's good and by the way you have a little bit of blood in your hair." Said Tsukune as he pointed at the edge of her hair.
"EH… don't worry about it I don't care." Said Moka as she calmly took a slight drag on the cigarette to become accustom to the smoke traveling through her body. Not long after she began to cough.
"Ugh…you're not supposed to take such a large drag even if you're a vampire." Said Tsukune as he took a calm puff of smoke before he released it from his nose never noticing Moka's shocked expression.
"How…how'd you know that I was a…vam…vampire?" asked Moka as she continued to stare at Tsukune.
"It wasn't that hard especially with that shity control you have on your yokai." Replied Tsukune as he took another small drag of his cigarette.
"Well then if I have such shity control what about you?" asked Moka as she once more attempted a smaller drag of her cigarette.
"It's because I have been trained by my parents from a young age to control my yokai so I could blend in easier with the humans and if you must know I'm what you would call a soul eater. As for the ability with illusions…it's something that couldn't be explained." Said Tsukune as he took one last drag on his cigarette before he tossed it.
"So that last man you ate…his soul." Said Moka as she looked out of the corner of her eyes to see Tsukune nod his head in confirmation before she also tossed her cigarette.
"Yeah…kind of makes me wonder how much of a true monster I am." Calmly replied Tsukune as he stared at the ground.
"Tsukune you're not a monster you saved me and I certain that my parents would agree to that." Said Moka as she quickly enveloped him in a hug.
"Thank you Moka. You have absolutely no idea how much that really means to me." Whispered Tsukune as he hugged her back before he let go as did Moka.
"So where will we go now?" asked Moka as she stared at Tsukune who just started walking towards the three motorcycles.
"Easy we're going to your parents. I have a feeling that whoever wanted you kidnapped wanted it to last until whatever your parents are doing in Kushiro was over." Said Tsukune as he quickly inspected the motorcycles or any damage that would inhibit them from running at their full potential.
"Hm…that could be true." Said Moka as she walked towards Tsukune with a look of wonder on her face.
"Now the only question is what are they doing and who would want you kidnapped and why?" wondered Tsukune as he took his trench coat off and gave it to Moka.
"Well I do remember my parents saying something about a treaty signing with the Kitsune leader in the Metropolitan Hotel. So maybe he wanted me kidnapped. By the way why are you giving me your trench coat?" asked Moka as she held his coat out in front of her.
"The nights can get pretty cold during the night so I'm going to imply that you wear it." Said Tsukune as he watched Moka place on his trench coat and button it up until she reached half-way down.
"Good now through this on." Said Tsukune as he tossed her one of the midnight black helmets to wear. Silently without question she placed the helmet on before Tsukune sat on one of the motorcycles and Moka on one of the others'.
'Let's get moving.' Thought Tsukune as he turned to Moka and gave her a thumbs up signaling that he was ready to get going before Moka returned the signal. Without any form of hesitation they quickly turned the keys in the ignition, kicked up the kickstand, and headed out into the empty streets as fast as they could before they turned onto the main highway. Silently they continued through the nearly deserted highway as the night grew colder just as Tsukune said it would.
'Brr…even with Tsukune's trench coat I'm freezing but it would have been far worse if I hadn't accepted his offer in the first place. I wonder how Tsukune is faring with the cold?' silently mused Moka as she took a quick worried glance at Tsukune to see that he wasn't even shaking from the wind. Almost immediately the worried glance was replaced by a look of confusion.
'Odd.' Thought Moka before she returned her attention to the objective at hand.
(With Tsukune)
Silently Tsukune continued to pay attention to the road before he felt that Moka was looking at him. Almost out of reaction he calmly looked out of the corner of his eyes to see that she was indeed looking at him. Sadly because of the helmet he couldn't tell what her expression was but for an unknown reason he felt as if the face she was making was one of curiosity.
'Wait…why am I even caring on how Moka looks at me. She is just someone I saved…isn't she.' Thought Tsukune as a look of deep concentration made its way to his face before he shook his head and replaced the earlier look with a look of determination.
'I can worry about this problem later.' Thought Tsukune before he made a quick turn into Kushiro as Moka followed after. Slowly Tsukune began to lessen the speed he was traveling at as did Moka since they were nearing the city's limits. Silently they made their way through the packed city streets as they made their way to the Metropolitan Tokyo.
Not more than a few moments later Tsukune stopped a block away from the hotel and saw that it was surrounded by several men wearing black suits along with several Mercedes. Silently Tsukune turned to Moka and quickly jerked his head back before turning around and heading off towards an ally way three blocks away from the hotel. Slowly Tsukune came to a stop in the ally and deactivated his cycle as Moka came to a stop right behind him and did the same thing as him before she hopped off. Quickly she ran up to Tsukune as he was just getting off and threw him upon a wall.
"What the hell was that all about?" growled out Moka in rage as the helmet helped muffle her voice making it sound far deeper.
"Apparently you didn't get a good look at who was guarding the entrance." Replied Tsukune as he stared at Moka with no fear.
"Ugh…I did, but we could have taken them without a problem." Said Moka as she calmly sat on the ground and removed her helmet.
"No we couldn't. If we even tried we would have been dead faster than a bug. They possibly have several guards inside as well." Said Tsukune as he joined Moka on the ground and did just as she did and removed his helmet.
"Then…how will we get in?" asked Moka as despair took a feint hold on her heart and mind.
"I have a few ideas." Said Tsukune as Moka seemed to perk up at that as she looked at Tsukune in hope.
"Option one is we wait until the guards change their positions and shifts. Option two is we use one of the cycles with both of us on it and drive through the front doors then into the ballroom where they are most likely signing the treaty. Finally option three is we sneak in through the back entrance…well that is if it isn't already guarded." Said Tsukune as he stared at Moka as she was thinking most doubtly through the pros and cons of the options.
"Option two seems to be the most likely option since if we are on a single cycle they wouldn't be able to catch us as easily." Said Moka as she looked at Tsukune to see that he was already heading back to the ally way entrance before he came running back.
"Good thing you chose that option. It seems that Kami-sama is shining some of her light on us since there is a car carrier that had just got a flat tire." Said Tsukune as he smiled a large smile that reached his eyes making them seem to glow a feint yellow with a small amount of silver mixed in.
"And this helps us how?" asked Moka as she stared at Tsukune in confusion.
"For starters it has no cars on the upper level they're all on the lower level meaning we can use the upper level to help us get over the blockade of Mercedes and maybe if we're lucky over the front steps as well. The bad thing is that we have about a ten second interval to do this." Said Tsukune as he started to rub the back of his head in regret.
"Well then…what are we standing around for lets go." Said Moka with enthusiasm as she hopped onto the back of Tsukune's cycle before strapping her helmet back on.
'Give her the smallest amount of hope it she bite's at it like a well…vampire.' Thought Tsukune as he quickly hurried over to his cycle and hopped on, strapped his helmet on, and gunned the motor. Quickly Moka wrapped her hands around Tsukune's waist as they took off into the night air once more.
With a rush of renewed hope he quickly turned the cycle in a complete 180 degrees before he once more gunned the motor and took off into the street. Quick like a shadow Tsukune and Moka raced towards the downed car carrier.
'Looks like Tsukune was right Kami-sama is shining some of her light upon us.' Thought Moka as she took notice that not only was the top level was clear of any vehicles but the driver had apparently left the access to the upper level down.
'Possibly hopped that it would keep the truck balanced so it wouldn't tip over and I had better hang on because I have a feeling that this is going to be rough trip.' Thought Moka as she gripped tighter at Tsukune's waist. Not long after gripping Tsukune harder did Tsukune gun the engine to its fullest potential maxing out at a top speed of, at what Moka could read, 140 mph.
Almost immediately Moka was able to notice that several of the walking men, women, and children stopped whatever that they were doing at the time to take notice of them driving up the car carrier. Not even, what felt like to Moka, a minute later Tsukune had jumped off of the car carrier and into the air they seemed to fly.
"KAMI-SAMA!!! HELP THEM!!!!" shouted most of the human crowed that continued to stare at the two causing all the guards around the hotel to look at the commotion. Silently they looked up into the sky before most of the guards that guarded the front entrance were forced to run off to the left or right, depending on what side they were closer to, to avoid being hit by the motorcycle.
Almost as if deliberately Tsukune had forced the Motorcycle into a wheelie as he continued along the cement path before he drove straight through one of the glass windows that lined the front entrance. Quickly Tsukune continued to drive through the front lobby while dodging furniture and the occasional guest that didn't have the common sense to pay attention to where they were walking. Tsukune then immediately once more gave more gas to the engine as they neared the ballroom doors which were once more guarded by a pair of dark suit and sunglass wearing idiots.
Silently both guards stood there in shock before they attempted to jump out of the way only to fail as they had both jumped right into one another before they were struck on the temple. Sadly Tsukune didn't have the best grip on the cycles handles as both him and Moka flew off the cycle. Just before they, Moka and Tsukune, were to strike the door Tsukune quickly without thinking hugged Moka close to his body as he took the full brute of the strike on the door. Of course since doors aren't meant to take the full physical force of a human, or in this case monster, body against it allowing for Tsukune to break through the door. Tsukune didn't make a sound as he fell to the ground along with falling onto several wooden splinters painfully imbedded themselves into his back.
"UGH!" groaned out Tsukune as he let his arms fall to his sides. Quickly Moka got up off of him fearing that her weight would case him further pain and forcing the splinters further into his body.
Calmly she offered a hand to him. Silently he accepted it without a complaint before she pulled him up to his feet.
"Are you all right?" asked Moka as the helmet once more disguised her voice once more.
"Yeah…it's only…huff…a flesh wound." Replied Tsukune as his helmet disguised his voice as well but was unable to hide the pain that filtered through.
"Yeah…and I wasn't born yesterday." Replied Moka as she calmly stared at him and despite the fact of the helmet blocking her view she could have sworn that he was looking right back at her.
"SIGH I still don't understand how a women can tell when a man is lying." Said Tsukune as he lowered his head.
"TRUST ME…IF MEN KNEW THAT ANSWER IT WOULD MAKE LIFE FAR EASIER FOR US!!!" Two people shouted from behind them.
Silently both Moka and Tsukune turned their heads to the voices origin only to see four people sitting at a table while several others sat at surrounding tables that laid along the edge of the room.
The first person who sat at the table was a woman who stood a 5' 6", had blood red eyes with a reptilian black slit in the center, moonlit silver hair that cascaded down to her waist and a serious expression upon her face with a small amount of fear mixed in as well. She was wearing a silver kimono that was designed to fit her and showed off all of her curves perfectly while a blood red sash held it together. Just slightly above the collar of the kimono lied a black bat tattoo.
The second person who sat right beside her was a man who stood a 6' 5", had blood red eyes with a black reptilian slit in the center, and dirty silver hair that just barely went past his neck while an expression of irritation upon his face. He was wearing the typical black ceremonial kimono with a blood red sash holding it together. Just slightly above his collar on his neck was also a similar black bat like the one that was one the woman's neck.
The third person who sat to the right of him was another man who stood 6' 4", had burning yellow eyes with a black slit in the center, yellow hair with blue highlights through it, and a similar expression as the last man. He was also wearing a black ceremonial kimono with a blue sash holding it in place. Just slightly above his collar on his neck was a black Kitsune tattoo upon his neck.
The fourth and final person who sat at the table was a female that stood 5' 4", had burning yellow eyes with a black slit in the center, fire yellow hair with fire red highlights running through her hair, along with an expression of seriousness on her face. She was wearing a fire yellow kimono that was designed to fit her body perfectly as a fire red sash held it together. Just slightly above the kimono's collar a black Kitsune tattoo upon her neck.
"Uh…you're possibly wanting a logical reason as to why we're here. Don't you." Said Tsukune as he calmly attempted to scratch the back of his head but was unable to do so because of the helmet.
"Uh…you do know that it would be far easier to talk to us if you removed your helmets." Stated the female that sat next to the third figure.
"Ugh…why must adults make life so difficult." Muttered Moka as she an d Tsukune removed their helmets.
"MOKA!" shouted the first two figures in shock and rose out of their seats causing them to fall over. Quickly they ran over and enveloped her in a hug.
"You have no idea how much we missed you…and why do you smell like blood along with where did you get trench coat?" asked Moka's parents as they held her out at arm's length.
"Well you see…uh…I was…kind of…eheheh…kidnapped." Replied Moka as she calmly removed herself from her parents grip.
"WHAT!!" shouted both of Moka's parents once more only with horror and anger upon their faces.
"Well I'm here and safe really only because of…a friend." Said Moka as she poked her fingers together before she smiled at Tsukune who returned the smile. Calmly Moka's parents took a look at Tsukune before they approached him.
"So…you saved our little bat hmm." Said Moka's mother as she took a calm and careful looked him over.
"Yes but it was only a fluke of dumb luck." Said Tsukune as he calmly stared at the last two people that continued to sit at the table looking at each other.
"A fluke you say but how do we know that you didn't hire someone to kidnap her then rescue her." Said Moka's father as he scrutinized his gaze.
"And what would I gain from that. I don't need land, I don't need money, what I do need is for the cops to get off of my ass." Said Tsukune as he stared at Moka's parents without fear.
"Ugh…he's not lying." Said Moka's mother as she turned her gaze to her husband.
"Well if he didn't do it who did?" asked Moka's father while the two other people who sat at the table shared a silent glance.
"Well when I kill someone I tend to…well…eat their soul." Replied Tsukune as an evil grin stretched against his face while everyone looked at him in fear well except for Moka who just looked at everyone in confusion.
"Uhhh…I remember that you called yourself a soul eater Tsukune but, why is every afraid of you?" asked Moka as her parents and the other two at the table looked at her in shock.
"Moka a soul eater is a SSS-class monster that devours the soul and occasionally the yokai of some monsters and in return they can gain the powers of that monster." Said the female of the other two.
"Actually that isn't accurate. We were actually born with most of our abilities. For me I was born with a stronger pull towards the shadows and I also gained the ability of illusions as well." Said Tsukune as everyone just looked at him in shock.
"What I've been traveling all over the Japanese islands try to find clues to my families origins. Because of this I have found multiple hiding spots in which my ancestors tended to meet and because of this I have located several libraries filled with books ranging back to…I believe the early fifteen hundreds." Said Tsukune as everyones' jaws dropped to the ground in shock.
"Well…aren't you going to ask me who kidnapped your daughter and why?" asked Tsukune while everyone seemed to shake themselves out of their daze and just nod.
"Well since I ate the soul of…I believe that it was a…Reishin." Said Tsukune as a look of confusion came to his face as everyone couldn't help but face plant at his comment.
"Okay…can we just know who kidnapped my daughter." Said Moka's father as everyone just nodded their heads in agreement.
"Well Reishin, Seiji, and Hiyou were all hired by a person named Keita but that is all that I know." Said Tsukune as he assumed a thinking pose.
"Wait…did you just say Keita?" asked the other two adults at the same time as everyone stared at them.
"Uh…yeah." Said Tsukune as everyone continued to look at the two. Calmly the two quickly shared a glance before they gave a short nod of approval.
"I'm afraid that we do. He is our five year old son. Sadly it seems that he wasn't too happy about this alliance between our clans." Said the man of the two while everyone just looked at them with shame.
'Wow these have to be the worst parents that I have ever met.' Thought everyone as they stared at the two who had started to talk about several different punishments that they would inflict upon their son.
"Uh…I guess I'll see you around Moka." Said Tsukune as he attempted to back away from everyone.
"Oh no you aren't. You still owe me an explanation." Said Moka as she quickly appeared in front of Tsukune.
"Fine…but we had better allow them to finish this whole sign the treaty and end the war thing." Said Tsukune as he pointed at Moka's and Keita's parents.
"Okay…get it done now!" stated Moka as she pointed at the treaty only to take a double look only to see that there was a child standing at the table.
The child stood 3', looked to be five years old, had fire yellow hair with fire red and fire blue streaks running through it, and had an expression of distain upon his face. He was wearing a black t-shirt, black shorts and black shoes.
"Keita! What do you think you're doing?" asked Keita's mother as his father and everyone else was watching everything that was happening. Silently Tsukune tapped Moka's shoulder before he pointed at the shadows behind Keita.
'how?' lip asked Moka as she noticed Tsukune just smile at her.
'Trust me.' Replied Tsukune as he silently disappeared back into the front lobby.
'Well at least that will be one less problem.' Thought Keita before he turned his attention to the five people/ monsters in the room.
"What am I doing? WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING MAKING A TREATY WITH THE VAMPIRES!" shouted Keita as he held the treaty in his fight hand while a look of pure rage framed his face.
"Keita you know what this treaty means for our people. This treaty would put an end of the wars that have striped both of our clans of multiple members that were young and old. Despite the fact that the vampires were able to survive most of our attacks while we faces the most casualties." Growled out Keita's father as he started to grip his hands into fists of rage. Calmly his wife came up behind him and enveloped him in a hug before she started to whisper multiple…cough…things into his right ear.
"This treaty…", waves treaty in the air, "means absolutely nothing. And how can we trust a race that would rather use us as fur coats, slaves, or even a food supply." Growled out Keita as a black shadow started to form behind him. Silently everyone, other than Keita, realized that Tsukune had left the room so he could find away to get behind Keita.
"I assure you Keita, was it, that we wouldn't dare try that. Similar to your parents we want nothing more than peace in between our races." Said Moka's father as he attempted to stall so that Tsukune could finish whatever is plan was.
"Yeah…and how many times have you told that to the other races only to back stab them, in most cases literally, and turn them into your slaves?" asked Keita as he began to form a small light blue Kitsune bi in his left hand.
"That was only one time. Besides the goblins betrayed out trust first." Stated Moka's mother as she calmly looked at Keita.
"Yeah right. By the way you can kiss this treaty good bye." Said Keita as he brought the Kitsune bi closer to the treaty only for it to be blown out before someone gripped the back of his shirt.
"You know…I really hate brats like you." Said Tsukune as Keita turned to him before he was sent flying in the air towards his parents along with the treaty.
"Well…let's just get this over with. I'm tiered and I'm certain that everyone else is tired as well." Sighed out Moka's father as everyone one just nodded their head in agreement as Keita's mother held him.
Silently both Moka's and Keita's father turned to one of the tables that was near them and set the treaty in between them before they looked back at Tsukune who starred on in impassiveness. Quickly in a single motion Moka's and Keita's father made a small incision on their left arms and dipped an old fashion ballpoint pen in their blood before they signed the treaty.
"It is done." Whispered Moka before she turned to where Tsukune stood only to see that he was gone. Quickly she began to look around for him only to stop almost immediately when she felt his yokai behind her. Calmly she turned around to see him starring at nothing.
"Tsukune…are you all right?" asked Moka as she calmly approached him.
"Yeah…I'll be fine. By the way if you want to hear my explanation I believe that we should head to your parents room." Said Tsukune as Moka nodded her head and ran off to get her parents.
(With Moka)
"Mom, Dad Tsukune has decided to tell us his past but he wants to do it in our room." Said Moka as she looked up at her parents.
"Of course Moka-chan I'm truly interested in his past." Said Moka's mother as she looked at her daughter with a look of happiness. Silently Moka, her mom and dad walked away towards Tsukune. Moka of course calmly to a quick look behind her to notice that Keita was getting a major spanking from his mother as his father yelled at him. Without warning Moka smiled at the trouble that Tsukune and she were able to create for a simple family of three.
"Mom I'm going to go ahead and get Tsukune." Said Moka as she ran off towards Tsukune.
"you know I think that boy would be a positive influence for our daughter dear." Said Moka's father as he stared at her as she grabbed Tsukune by his arm a literally dragged him towards them.
"I agree." Whispered Moka's mother as Moka and Tsukune finally got to them before everyone walked out of the ballroom into the lobby and then into the elevator.
Well I guess I'll call it quits here since I want to save Tsukune's past for another time. Hope you all enjoyed this chapter. And yes I do know hat some of these death scenes are from videogames.
Also recent updates that I did:
Rise of the Fallen Angels: replaced the authors note with chapter 7.
Next chapter will be Tsukune's past come to light.
By the way this chapter alone was 27 pages long with 10,898 words.
Now review and tell me what you think.
