I strode through the doors of the room where I had left Kropp and his guests, noticing the looks full of hatred and despair that accompanied my arrival from the servants. I ignored them, knowing the fear and hate that the villagers had for me.
I strode forward and extended the plate to Kropp, kneeling. "(His head.)"
("Very good,") He took the plate and lifted the lid slightly grinning when he saw the man's head.
I glanced over at the two Takatoris who had fixated their eyes on me with equal looks of awe and horror. I noticed that the women had edged closer around Masafumi Takatori when I glanced at him, as if I were going to suddenly attack him. I had to keep myself from laughing at their ignorance. I didn't attack people at random, I wasn't that bloodthirsty. The men over by the elder Takatori however were looking at me with something strange in their eyes.
At my Kropp's signal I came up from my knees and went to stand behind him and kept my face blank as I listened to him and the Takatoris as they continued to talk.
I stared passively into space, concentrating on a dark spot on the wall, emptying my mind of any thoughts.
I started as I felt something hit my right cheek. I moved my eyes to look at the floor where the projectile had fallen. I found a tiny, piece of waded up paper. I scanned the room and saw the orange haired man smirk at me and wave again. I noticed his silver-haired companion grin at me as well.
I glared at them and then returned to staring at the spot on the wall...until the man hit me on the left cheek with another piece of paper. I glared at the man again. He just smirked and made a small movement as if he were blowing a kiss towards me.
I growled softly, but before I could do anything, Kropp told me to leave. My eyes widened slightly, what was he thinking?
But then I noticed that the others were leaving as well. Apparently the three men wanted to talk alone. I was the last to leave the room doing one last scan, after which I heard the door locked behind me.
I stood rigid against the door, blocking the path into the room. I ignored the spiteful glares that it earned me from the four women and turned to glare at the red-headed man once again.
He just continued to smirk at me, making me even angrier. I finally looked away from the man when I heard giggling. I turned to look in the direction of the four women. The girl, Tot, was playing with a moth that must have been attracted by her bright clothing. My eyes narrowed and then I grinned inwardly.
I snapped my fingers and a small bout of bluish flame appeared in the air right above my right pointer finger, beckoning the tiny creature over to me.
The stupid animal fluttered over to my hand, burning up the moment it had gotten within three inches of the fire.
I heard Tot gasp in outrage and when I looked at her I felt a large surge of amusement at the tears that welled up in her eyes.
("Animals are not allowed in my master's house, stupid girl,") I sneered.
The blond standing beside her started yelling at me, obviously angry that I had made the girl cry. I ignored her, trying my best to block out her screechy, voice. I leaned against the door and closed my eyes.
After a five more minutes the screeching finally stopped, and I felt a wave of relief for my eardrums. Then a masculine voice appeared in my head.
(I'd dodge if I was you.)
Without another word I dodged to the left, watching a red whip smash into the door where I had just been standing. As the whip retracted I grinned maniacally at the stupid woman.
She had no idea who she was messing with.
The woman sent the whip at me again, and I grabbed it. She yelled at me, trying to pull her whip back. I responded by pulling her towards me. The woman wasn't very strong physically, so she came flying at me, and I slammed my fist right into her gut. She gasped in pain.
("Fool, don't mess with me!") I grinned as she slid to the ground, tears of pain in her eyes. I snorted; if she couldn't handle a simple hit like that she didn't deserve to carry a weapon.
I jerked as I heard the door behind me click, indicating that it had just been unlocked. I watched as the door opened and the three men stepped out. Masafumi cried out as he saw the blond kneeling on the ground holding her stomach and ran to her. Kropp immediately turned on me, fire burning in his eyes.
("What happened?") He snarled at me. I brushed myself off and stood straight, keeping my eyes low.
("We had a little disagreement, Master. I was simply following your orders when she attacked me.") I spoke quietly, and swiftly.
("It was my order for you to begin trouble with Takatori Masafumi's bodyguards?") The sickeningly sweet tone of his voice immediately alerted me to the danger I was in.
("No, Master.") I whispered.
("Look at me, girl.") I hesitantly lifted my face to view him and was abruptly backhanded. I fell to the floor and could feel the soft throbbing pain that signaled that I had been actually hit.
My anger increased tenfold and I could feel my inner fire strain against my mental bonds. I could feel its outraged thrumming telling me to gut the man like a pig then stick him over a roaring fire and enjoy his screams of pain.
("Get up") He spat and then began apologizing to Masafumi.
/Bastard, one of these days I'll get my hands your fat ass and laugh as you beg me to spare your pathetic life as I slowly roast you from the inside out./
Even as I thought these words I noticed the red headed man's eyes sparkle with glee, and I had a sudden sinking feeling.
