The meeting!
Chapter 1
It's a cold night late in November, a dark female figure wearing a cloak is running through a harbor in New York with a flock of M.R.D. soldiers pursuing her.
'Oh great, leave it to my luck to make me run into anti-mutant morons as soon as I get of the frickin' ship.' Thought the mutant while running away and looking for a way out of the mess she had just gotten herself in.
"Hold it freak." She heard one of the men shout.
'Like hell ya moron' As she glances over her shoulder to see how far away the M.R.D. were which by the way wasn't that far, she doesn't notice that she is running into a closed of alley and slams into the wall.
"Itte, what the….." She says as she looks up to see what in the world she had just ran into. "Oh…SHIT!"
"We got you now mutant filth" Came a voice behind her.
The girl just sits there panicking a bit thinking her situation through. 'Okay, calm down ya moron what can ya do right now, besides using your powers or trying to talk your way out of this, that's not really my style anyway' She stands up and starts backing away.
"Stay still freak or we will open fire."
'Okay it's either fight or flight, but I can't fight, not right now anyway, so I guess it's flight' As she puts her hand in her pocket the M.R.D. start to shot.
"Sayonara ya morons" She says, smirking as she throws a ninjas smoke bomb at the ground.
"HEY, WHAT THE HELL!"
"WHAT'D SHE JUST DO?"
"CALM DOWN! IT'S JUST A SMOKE BOMB!"
Ones the smoke clears.
"WHAT!"
"She's gone."
"She's must have used the smoke to cover her escape."
A couple of rooftops away, a crouching shadow is keeping an eye on the M.R.D.
"What a bunch of idiots, I can't believe that they've actually managed to nail so many mutants, trained to handle their powers or not."
Behind it the shadow hears a low clapping gradually getting louder and closer.
"Bravo, bravo that was really impressive getting away from the M.R.D. like that, combining a single smoke bomb with your own physical abilities that I'm guessing you've trained for in order to gain, relying only on your own abilities not your mutation like so many mutants tend to do. It's impressive to say the least." Says a mans voice from behind the shadow.
Pushing down the dark hood reveling a teenage girl. She has long red hair, fair skin and green eyes; Then turning to face whoever had just spoken, however when she turns around all she sees is a shadow floating in thin air. "Who are you and what do you want?" She growls.
"Who I am is none of your concern as of what I want I was supposed to evaluate your powers, see what you can do with your mutation however since you didn't use them I couldn't do what I was paid to do but if you would be so kind as to show them to me it would be greatly appreciated."
"Just because ya're a mutant like me doesn't mean that I trust ya therefore I am not doing ya any favors pal." The girl snarls back getting angrier by the second.
"Oh so you figured out that I'm a mutant too." Replies the mystery man as he stars transforming from a shadow to a man supposedly in his late twenties, he's wearing a black gi, a traditional ninja outfit with a katana attached to the left side of his belt and a shuriken holster on his right leg.
"Kinda hard not to I mean it's not every day that ya can meet a floating shadow that can talk to ya."
"True."
"Anyway ya're wasting yar time I ain't showing ya what I can do."
"Oh, why not wouldn't it be fun to have a little fight, right here, right now to see which of us is stronger?" Says the man, with closed eyes and a small smile plastered on his face. Then suddenly peering his eyes, dropping the smile he asks. "Or is it that you're too scared of losing control of your own anger and power to try and to use them?"
Hearing that the girl started to freak out a little feeling like he was reading her like a book and she wasn't liking it one bit. Clenching her hand and biting her lower lip she started shaking.
"But" Regaining his freaky smile the man continued "It could also be that you think that you're just better than me, you know just being cocky but…"
"Shut up" Whispers the girl.
"that's what to be…"
"Shut up" Came a slightly louder interruption.
"expected…."
"SHUT THE HELL UP!"
The man finally stopped talking and looked at the girl with a really calm/bored expression on his face, to see that she was standing in an aggressive pose with a murderous look on her face, a crimson colored crystal constructed tail had appeared from under her cloak and instead of her hands and feet talons also made out of crystals, had appeared.
"Don't act like you know me, you know nothing about me! I didn't ask for neither my temper nor my powers, I know there are a lot of mutants that didn't ask to be what they are. But my life has not been that easy thank you!"
"So those are your powers."
"Yes those are my powers, crystal creation and manipulation."
"Well then, I believe that it's time to answer your first question. As for who I am, I am known by most people as Shadow. And I am known to be a famous assassin, you were suppose to be my next target but I'll let you live to see what you may become and what your purpose in life is. Besides you could be fun to play with."
"Yeah whatever pal, just get out of my life… at least for the time being."
"Will do but first tell me your name."
"My mutant name is Benishoton aka Crimson crystal. However my real name is Iruna K. Kitsune. "
"K?"
"You'll find out sooner or later."
"Well then, I guess I'll be going now. Oh and have fun with the X – men." He says as he starts to become a shadow and disappears.
"Wait WHAT! Hey wait you, what do you mean by "have fun with the X – men"?" she asks as she raises her talon to reach for him.
"Like you said, Benishoton, you'll figure it out sooner or later. And I'm betting sooner rather than later."
Then as if by magic the "Shadow" was gone.
"Tsk, whatever pal." A small smile starts to spread its way through her the mask of anger Iru had been wearing as she thinks. 'Looks like things are getting interesting, really interesting.
"My life is simple and I'm not a superman I never said that I was more than that"
"Kitsune here" Iru says as she answers the phone. "K for the last time I know what I'm doing…listen I'm not going back home, how could I after…ya know…WHAT WAS THAT? WHAT THE HELL K. WHAT DO YA MEAN THAT…K…K…K."
"Beep, beep, beep."
"He hung up that little son of a bitch…sorry ka-san. To hell with this might as well get going." The girl growls angrily as she shoves her phone violently into her pocket and fades into the night.
