Bloodroses and Daggers.
I DO NOT OWN GUNDAM WING. Suing me won't get you anything but a headache. And a giant pain in the derriere, Maybe.
Duo sat back as he cruised through the streets; since the Marimeia war had ended he had become one of hidden business partners in the automotive business, selling cars with gundanium reinforced shells. With the innovation of being able to mix the extremely resistant alloy with glass, it made the cars completely impenetrable, this Neo-Gundanium was highly expensive. But then again politicians and the wealthy wanted to protect themselves so they would pay a lot of money, but there was also the shadier side of the population. That was were Duo came in, using contacts through old friends and business associates he was able to expand the selling field to those more illegal professions. It was one of these people that he was going to meet now. Stopping his car in front of what seemed to be a disused club he jumped out of his night black jaguar, the one he himself had installed with DeathScythe's gundanium fragments. He walked up to the door his knee length braid accented by a crimson silk shirt and tight black leather. He wore a single necklace on it a pendant containing a strand of brown hair. In his hand he carried a single white rose, as the door opened he put on his jokers mask and slid into the shadows.
"Kohen-san show me to him." He spoke in a deadly serious voice that screamed Deathbringer, Shinigami. The door keeper must have heard it as well as she backed into a corner whimpering softly her fangs withdrawing.
"This way my Lord." Spoke another daemon opening a door to the far right.
"Your master won't be too happy to hear that you know." Smirked Duo as he walked through the doorway.
"Only due to his own delusions, if he was not half as arrogant as he is he might have realized there are higher powers at work then his."
"Well spoken, what is your True name Daemon?" Duo turned around, staring the vampire in the eyes.
"M-m-my True name Lord?" the daemon stuttered, unsure of what to say, and then he realized that if he lied or didn't speak at all Duo would probably destroy him anyhow. "Sa-yogo-rahan, my Lord." He whispered not wanting other ears to hear.
Duo smiled and slowly closed the door behind him. Then cloaking his aura he turned to face the leader of the pack.
"Well Kohen, long time no see buddy!" He laid the rose on the desk as Kohen eyed it warily and took off his leather jacket. "So the deal is ready??? Any last minute questions perchance?" he quipped.
"Yes in fact I do have a question." Kohen's silky smooth voice betrayed his emotions; the man was shaky and very nervous. To Duo this spoke of his intentions as clear as stars shining in outer space. "I was wondering if we could lower the price range, you know that this coven is not the richest."
Duo leaned back at this statement if Kohen wanted to play this game he would let him.
"Actually, I noticed that most of the funds have been going into your gambling debts. How do you explain to the members that you're stealing their hard bought resources?"
Kohen's face was livid. "HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE ME OF SUCH TREACHERY!!!?" He screamed. "YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING MORTAL." Then he lunged for Duo's heart, stiletto and fangs ready to drain his blood. But Duo was not about to let him.
He shifted slightly to the right and brought his own dagger out. Crafted with the symbol of Death upon it, Duo threw back his head and laughed, releasing the shield over his aura.
"Call me a Mortal will you eh Kohen? Maybe you should learn that appearance isn't everything, that there is always more to a person then what they show on the outside. But then again for you it is too late now, isn't it?"
Kohen's eyes widened, before he prostrated himself on the ground, crawling like a worm, groveling in front of Duo.
"P-p-p-please Lord give me one last chance. Allow me to redeem myself Lord Shinigami." He mumbled at the floor. "I'll do anything, ANYTHING!!!"
"I did give you one last chance. That was your last chance, now it is time for you to die Kohen." Duo went to the table and picked up the rose. Then he walked over to Kohen and kicked him like a master would kick a disobedient dog.
Kohen tried desperately one more time to kill with his slim blade. As he went for the throat, Duo slammed his dagger into Kohen's heart. As the Daemon fell backwards clawing desperately at the knife, Duo inserted the white rose into the handle. The magic swirled around his fingers, purple smoke mixed with the air around him. As Kohen's eyes rolled back in his head the rose turned a deep crimson, and then pitch black as the life-force was siphoned out of him. When the process was finished Duo removed the rose and then the dagger. He gently placed the flower unto the carved wooden table and wiped his dagger on Kohen's coat. Then Duo put on his jacket and slid the blade into its sheath, after staring a moment at Kohen's body he exited the room. Knowing full well that the next Daemon who walked into the room would know and tell everyone else that Shinigami walked again. He reveled at the feeling; everyone at the coven had thought Kohen to be a sadistic money-grubbing bastard. And now he had killed him, not even letting him die the death of an immortal, to disappear in the one last puff of dust. No instead he let him die like a mortal, just to make sure he was never reborn within this time as one with ever-lasting life. The next time his rebirth came around he would be born mortal with all his past memories, and cycle after cycle this would happen until maybe one day he learned to truly repent for his sins. Until then The young Daemon who had led him through the door would serve in his place nicely. As he walked out the door he handed the rose to him, with advice as well.
"Wear it, for it will never die and always remind you of the mistake he made. But should you disobey my commands it will also destroy you and you will suffer the same fate as your previous master. For I have no remorse for those who are fools.
