Hey guys, so here's the second chappy! So to those of you who reviewed I thank you from the bottom of my heart! :D
Toshiro POV
It's been about forty five minutes since the city of Tokyo had disappeared beneath me as I was now flying into Japanese airspace…and there was nothing to see. Not even the moon decided to shed light on my journey to Osaka. I looked down at the EC135 Eurocopter and found that I was only a couple of minutes away from reaching the city. As I lowered a few hundred feet in the sky I was finally graced with a form of light. The city lights, like fire flies from a distance, poked through the evening blanket bringing a slight piercing throb into my right temple.
"I hate being called down…" I whispered to myself before flipping one of the switches on the control board as I was now entering Osaka airspace.
"WOTL, this is Hyorinmaru now at one four thousand, over." The distinct buzzing from the intercom was driving my temple throb to an all time edge until I heard a couple of pops coming from the other line.
"This is Osaka tower to Hyorinmaru. Flight plan to 10th Division building in place. Please Proceed. And Stand by. Over." The rather annoying high female voice said from the other side of the intercom making my now throbbing right temple spread to the rest of my head…I was close…
Karin POV
"I don't know what you mean by that statement…" I murmured as I looked down at the white jacket thrown on the floor in front of me, getting a glimpse of my now metal skin through my peripheral vision before looking at the pale man in front of me.
"It's a simple concept really…otherwise known as the 'la massacre de la belleza'…"
"The slaughter of beauty…" I whispered to myself feeling an immediate bad vibe from the phrase.
"That's right…it's happened every time a soul eater has been born…within a couple of months you will have no family, friends, or protectors…you will be hunted simply because you are a God amongst insects…but you see, my leader will provide you with everything…protection…friends…and in a sense a new family…" The man said as he sat on the side of the cheap bed making the mattress creak.
"What's the catch?" I asked staring at the man who was now giving me a smirk.
"It's simple really…come with us…and all your worries will go away…" He said as he held out his right hand towards me.
"I think I'll pass…" I said as I turned my head.
"Alright suit yourself…but the next time we come after you it won't be peaceful…" He said as he stood up and walked towards the now broken and burnt door post before turning to face me once more. "…Oh and keep the jacket…it'll be a reminder of our meeting…" He smiled before finally leaving the room and whistling down the hallway.
Toshiro POV
I was now in the elevator of the rather large steel and glass business building, checking my reflection in the mirror before the soft 'ding' marked my arrival of the destined floor. Once the steel doors opened I was met with two large African American men dressed in black designer suits with their hand tucked into their back.
"Welcome ." They said in unison before they bowed as I walked past them down the rather large and opulent hallway towards the wooden double doors at the end of the hallway towards the office that I dreaded to be called to since I had turned twenty five.
Karin POV
I didn't know how long I was staring at the jacket…but by the time I came to my senses the first thing that attacked my ears was nothing but screaming silence…my line of sight then saw Yoruichi's dead body dropped about a foot away from the bed's edge.
"Shit." I said in a whisper as I grabbed the gloves that were now on the floor before putting them on in a hurry and rushing to her side.
"Yoruichi…" I said softly after I brought her to my lap and began to shake her, I quickly rubbed her right cheek and saw a black residue come on to my white gloves. "Yoruichi…please…" I said as I continued to shake before I pressed my ear to her chest cavity…there was a thud…although small…there was hope…
Toshiro POV
The man was sitting across from me in a cherry wood lacquered table that could easily sit thirty people comfortably. The office was large enough to allot a kiddy league baseball team to play a game without interruptions.
"My son, blood of my blood." The man said boisterously as I walked towards the chair that faced him from a distance. He was wearing a white button down shirt, a navy vest and a matching navy tie. His white hair was in its usual mode of style which was loose and up to his waist, and in his right hand there was a rose patterned white hanker shift.
"Father." I said before taking a bow and sitting.
"Do you know why I brought you here?..." He asked with a serious tone as his brown eyes stared at me. I only stared at him with no answer and gave him a curt nod before allowing him to continue.
"There's word that a soul eater is within our world." My eyes instantly opened…that can't be…
"But that's only a myth…"
"It's true…but it seems that she's a rogue since none of the noble families know of her existence." He said before moving his right hand into his mouth and coughing a bit bringing the hand down below the table…there was blood in the hanker shift…
"As my son, and heir to the noble throne, it is your job to kill the soul eater before she's captured and used as a weapon of destruction."
"I understand father."
Karin POV
I knew where I was going…and it had now become a goal for me to reach it before my last hope of saving my protector was gone. Yoruichi's body was now hanging on my right shoulder as I ran through the alleyways of Tokyo in order to not have human eyes catch me in my current form…as I took a sharp right into an abandoned warehouse district I finally began to see the green candy shop come into view…still as tacky as ever…I quickly ran up the few steps and opened the shop doors hearing a small 'ding' before I closed the door behind me with my left hand.
"WELCOME TO-KARIN!" I heard a loud animated voice say making me turn around to find the man that I was looking for. He was wearing his usual green Hawaiian shirt, khaki shorts, green flip-flops and khaki fedora hat.
"I need your help…" I said as I looked into his now serious eyes.
"I've never seen her get beaten up like this…" He murmured as he approached me grabbing Yoruichi's body and walking towards the back of the store…it's all my fault…
So there it is! Please, Please, Please Review...it inspires me to come back to this story. :D
