Ch-2*with Bella*

Things speed up and so did Bella's heart beat. 'The IDIOT! What the hell is he thinking? He may not know this, but I can take a few hits if Jane's gift even works on me.' She managed to reign in her anger before any of the vampires noticed. Edward was slowed in his lunge towards Aro by Alice. Edward was then being restrained by Felix. Aro smile was calm and urged Jane to continue as if Edward was a child having a tantrum and needed to be ignored.

Bella braced herself and froze in place expecting some horrible electric shock. And… Nothing. She blinked at Jane whose expression was in concentration, then confusion, finally irritation. 'Few. Looks like it didn't work.' Relieved, but held in her smugness. Bella's façade was perfect. Jane "Aaaargh!" as if she was pissed off at her. Aro laughed then.

"Wonderful! Simply wonderful.", Aro smiled and motioned for Felix to let go of Edward for he was calm and assured that Bella was perfectly safe. For a few minutes anyway. "It seems our Bella is gifted with a shield of the mind!" 'Our Bella my ass.' She thought humoring herself. "It's apparent to me this girl is too valuable to lose. And it would also gave me great pleasure if you or Alice would join us too." He spoke to Edward.

"No thank you." He said stiffly. Aro sighed, "A shame." Bella thought 'Not really pops.'

"Alice?" He asked with some hope left in his crimson eyes.

"No I am happy staying with Carlisle and the family, but thank you." Alice politely declined.

"And Bella?" He turned to her with a lot more appraise then he would a normal person, considering a normal person to him is breakfast/lunch and dinner. Caius looked at Aro and whispered "What?"

"Caius… Don't you see my brother? She is able to thwart off Jane's and my ability! She is special." Aro spoke in a patronizing tone. Caius looked at Bella then for he haven't thought a mere human was worth looking at. Not since his first wife. He never married after her, his brothers were the ones with several wives. Caius cold expression didn't change, but inside he felt he wanted her. Bella sensed his eyes looking and inwardly smirked. 'I got an advantage here now to use it.' She worked it out in her head always staying three steps ahead.

Aro put his attention back on her thinking he got Caius's approval, "Now Bella won't you join us?"

She looked at him with the little bit of fear as was expected of a human who might be put to death and hope that she might live. Edward and Alice looked comforted as if they knew she would choose them over the Volturi. Well let's just say her answer gave them a surprise.

"Yes." Bella's voice didn't falter under pressure. Aro's eyes brightened as Edward's and Alice's faces were in complete shock. As Aro was about to celebrate Bella added, "But, I would like to stay with the Cullen's for the first few years so I can leave town without suspicion and be taught your ways. After all isn't keeping the secret the main focus?" 'I need Aro to agree with me, so as soon as we get back to the U.S. I am leaving straight for New York. And ditch Edward while I'm at it.'

Aro contemplated as she lowered her head as a sign she would give her life right now if she didn't have her way. "So you are saying in order to keep the vampire secret you need a few years. And you want the Cullen's to teach you when you become one of us?" She nodded her head. Caius himself was thinking, 'She agreed? And the girl does have a valid point, so we can't argue.' Marcus didn't decide anything he stayed out of this conversation for as long as she didn't break the rules she was safe. Aro sensed no opposition from his brothers and sighed. "Very well. But, Carlisle is to check in with us once everything you need to do is dealt with."

Bella smiled grateful, "Thank you sir." She felt Edward wanting to get out of there and Alice wanting nothing more than to be reunited with Jasper.

"Thank you for your time Aro." Edward said with downcast eyes and emotionless voice.

Aro brightened at Edward. "Now don't worry Edward when Bella's in our care you can visit anytime you like. As long as it's inconspicuous, you understand." Jane grinned at the thought of having to care for the human girl. 'Yah right I hate her.' "Now! You are free to go, but leave after it get's dark out please!" Alice, Edward, and Bella nodded. As they left Caius focused on Bella once again for she really did look ridiculously like his first and only love. Bella felt his gaze and turned her eyes to Caius.

She gave him a look that could drive any man crazy with lust. The look of a whore and a Mona Lisa smile. Then the doors shut.

*In New York with Sing-Soo Ling*

As Sing and his gang were making plans to get away a weird Chinese woman walked up to them. It took a minute to realize it was a man. Sing spoke up, "Who the hell are you? And what the fuck do you want?"

The man chuckled. "Such language, Sing-Soo Ling." Sing looked in shock at their visitor and growled.

"I ain't got no time for you. Tell me who you are and how the hell you know my name." He demanded. The man lifted up his right arm to reveal a bracelet designed with a snake or a dragon. Eather way It was a symbol of a powerful Chinese family.

"I am Lee Yut-Lung. And I am here to help." Yut-Lung smirked at the boy as the Lee family's two helicopter flew in. The gang hopped into one and Sing rode with Yut-Lung in the private one.

"So you're part of the Lee family. I thought there were only six brothers." Sing sounded like he was interrogating him. In a way he was. Yut-Lung looked out the window and smiled with a cold stare.

"I am the youngest and I am merely their half-brother." Sing took it as a sign to shut up for now until the man got his attention. "Look down there sing. It's Ash's Rolls Royce. Looks like he's headed straight to Manhattan. You see because that is his jungle." Yut-Lung smiled at the challenge Ash was going to give him whether he liked it or not. Sing saw what he was talking about and also saw the rest of Ash's buddies speeding along behind him.

"Wonderful to see your return. Welcome back Ash Lynx." Yut-Lung smiled looking at the glowing city lights, as did Sing. They both knew hell was going to start up again soon.

*with Ash*

Ash and Eiji with Bones, Kongs, and Alex were in his Rolls Royce. Bones was a white boy with broken teeth and looked more like a country hick than a city gang member. Kong was an African American with a Mohawk. Alex was your typical blonde 18 year old kid in street wear and the total look of city kid. Eiji on the other hand was Ash's close friend who was from Japan and came here with a man named Ibe Shunichi. They were only there to take pictures of Ash and his teenage gang for a story, but they got involved more than they wanted to because of Arthur starting the war between Golzine and Ash. Actually what started it was the bastards Garvey's fault for killing Ash's kid friend Skip. Ash then had the grounds to fight back for if it wasn't for Golzine Garvey would have never entered his life and gotten Skipper killed.

"We'll be there soon." Ash said getting his close confidants attention. Eiji smiled at the thought of going somewhere safe away from Golzine, Arthur, everything… for he wanted Ash to stay alive and safe.

"We're here!" Kongs and Bones said excited as Alex cheered. "We're alive! Woohoo!" They came across an old apartment building. A ghetto apartment for what they call one of their flophouses Eiji learned. Ash jumped out of the car door as two members of his gang ran out of the building.

"It's the Boss! He's back!" They were happy to see their boss alive and not dead by Arthur's hand for all they know. Ash nodded as his friends followed him up the hallway stairs and down another.

When they got to the room Ash immediately started barking orders. "Get me Fly the dealer and tell him I sent you." Fly was an arms dealer and who looked like your average pimp, but he didn't do that. He just looked it to be cool. "And if he mixes up anything with a dud He's getting a live one back at him." Ash warned his messenger before the guy scurried away with a "Yes Boss!"

"Halt!" ordered Ash. The poor guy turned around standing at attention military style. "Ye-yes sir!?"

"Get me the New York Times too. You go on now."

"Yes Boss!"

Ash turned to Alex and the rest of who was there, "I want to sleep, but wake me up in two hours got that?"

Alex stuttered with a little fear. "Yes Boss, but… um…" as Ash crashed on the bed and appeared to sleep right away. Zzzz

Eiji looked at Ash then at Alex, "It's like turning off switch." He was surprised how Ash could sleep so easy.

Alex sighed, "Yah when he goes to sleep." Eiji looked confused as Ash shot straight up and his buddies all ran for cover and cowered except Eiji who didn't know better.

Ash glared one last time. "Two hours! Wake me up in Two Hours!" The men scampered, "Yes Boss!" Then he finally passed out. Zzzz. Eiji sweat dropped and wondered 'what's so horrible about waking him up?'
