Final Night Chapter 2
"We're almost there, are you ready?" I asked as I kept my eyes on the road. "Yeah I guess so, I mean it's not like I have much of a choice." Nagisa replied.
I felt bad for him to be honest, I mean if I had to get stuck playing my part as a girl? It just sounded horrible and having to fight in a dress of all things? I mean Nagisa kicked ass in one regardless of the fact he's never worn one before.
"I know what you're thinking Karma." Nagisa said. I gave him a sideward glance. "What would that be?" I asked curiously.
"You're wondering how come I was able to fight in a dress." He said in a hushed tone. "Yeah and what if I was?" I countered.
"The answer is that I had to go out with my mother one night and of course she forced me to wear a stupid dress and well, we got attacked. I had to fight to protect her I never really thought about the dress to be honest with you, I just thought 'I need to protect my mom.' And by instinct I fought and won. I had a lot to explain to my mom after the fact and she was really shocked but she took it pretty well." Nagisa explained. "You never sece to amaze me Nagisa, you're better than I am." I muttered. "Yeah no, you've been fighting all your life Karma. I just took a page out of your book." Nagisa added with a smile.
"So let's run through the plan one more time." I said.
"Right so the plan is that we are going undercover as a rich couple by the names of… Damon Jigoku and Angelica Tengoku. We were invited by Mistress Artisa Sasori as she is interested in our underground company The Deadly Lily, as we import and export dangerous chemicals, which I was given just in case Artisa asks for a sample of the protect, naturally what I have isn't really dangerous but it can irritate the skin so try and not get any on you. Our job is to have her invite us upstairs to talk business, from there we try to kill her." Nagisa said.
"I still don't like that part, the whole going upstairs, something tells me this woman is smart, she is hard to follow, she's made it that way. Something tells me she already knows we're assassins and all this is a trap to kill us." I growled voicing my concerns.
"I agree with you but do you have a better plan?" He asked. I sighed as I shook my head. "No… I haven't met her yet; but once I get to know who she is then I'll be the one pulling the strings…or so I hope."
If things went the same way as I have it playing out in my head, we aren't going to be able kill her.
I drove up to the building. Two Valet's opened our doors. We got out and I gave him my keys. I looked at him. "Scrach it…and I'll be out for your head! Got it?" The man nodded nervously. "Good. Keep the change." I said giving him a few hundred. I walked over to Nagisa's side and slipped my hand into his.
The door man opened the door. We approached the front desk. "We're looking for the party?" I said. The woman smiled. "What are your names?"
"Damon Jigoku and Angelica Tengoku." I said. "Yes here you are, please take the third elevator on the left to the 29th floor. I hope you enjoy your evening Mr. Damon and Miss. Angelica." The woman said.
I lead us over to the elevator that had been given. It opened and we walked in. I pressed the 29th floor button the door closed.
Both of us were nervous, I could feel it, and I bet he could read it like he normally could. We never really took on outside jobs when we were in E. But know we needed all of our training to get out with our lives!
The door opened and we walked into the hallway and walked towards the ball room. We stopped before we went in, taking a breath as if it were our last. Then we walked through the threshold.
"It's so big?" Nagisa said with wide eyes. "Bright is more like it." I said blinking hard to allow my eyes to adjust to the lighting in the room. Thousands of people filled the room. Most of them business men however there wasn't just that but there were people severing the guests. I felt uncomfortable here. I had to shake it off. There was a stage in the front of the room.
I wonder if that's going to be used?
"Damon?" Nagisa muttered. I looked down from my thoughts. "Yeah what is it?" I asked.
"Your heart rates increased by ten present relax and just play the role you've always played, the bad boy type, the devil that sleeps inside." Nagisa said holding my hand tighter. I nodded silently.
If Nagisa can pick that up she might as well. Play the part? I can do that, just don't start any fights. "I'll go get us some drinks Angelica."
I let go of Nagisa's hand. He grabbed my wrist and pulled in close to kiss my lips. I shuttered at the action. Nagisa pulled away embarrassed. "Don't be away to long Damon, I might get lonely without you here."
I grinned at him. "Of course my dear, I'll only be a minute."
I walked away noting where I left him, as I walked I changed my posture to be strong and intimidating. People took notice and moved out of my way as I walked by. Clearly these people knew better then to mess with someone like me. Or so I thought.
"Well, look here. I've never seen you around here before." A man said as he blocked my way. I looked up at him, he was much taller than I am.
"And you would be?" I asked glaring at him. "Names Icho Homra."
"Oh yeah I know who you are now, pleaser to meet you sir, names Damon Jigoku, head of the underground company The Deadly Lilly." I said smiling.
"Damon huh? Never heard of you." Icho challenged narrowing his eyes. "Humph that's too bad, Mistress Artisa sent my Girlfriend and I an invitation asking us to come on her highest authority." I said running my hand through my hair.
"You? How is that possible your what 20?" Icho said appalled. I smiled devilishly. "About that yeah, I've done well in my business, now then…please move aside. I need to get drinks for my babe, can't keep her waiting."
"I would like to meet this girlfriend of yours, if you don't mind." He said.
I have to say yes or he might get sacpises. "Sure, she's a real ball kicker if you know what I mean."
I got our drinks and walked back to where I left Nagisa last.
"Hey hot stuff, why don't you and I go somewhere quite where we can play?" A man said.
I froze. "Icho hold these, I have to teach a stray to leave my Girlfriend alone." Icho smiled. "No, by all means go right ahead."
I cracked my knuckles. "Hey!"
The man looked at me as if I had just insulted him. "What do you want kid, don't you know this is a party for the grownups?"
"Listen up you filthy-achaclic smelling- drunk- fuck…that's my girlfriend your talking to and I would like you to keep your slimy hands off of her!" I snapped.
"And what are you going to do about it?" He said as he grabbed Nagisa.
"Angelica!" I snapped. Nagisa twisted the man's arm and kicked the man in the balls hard enough to make the man throw up before pushing him over to me. I grabbed the collar of his shirt. "Time to put you on ice!" I said slamming my fist into his face knocking a few teeth from his mouth. I repeated the action for more times. "Stay away from my girlfriend or next time you won't be so fortune to walk away got that fucker?" I pushed him down into his own bile.
The man got up and ran off. I quickly ran to Nagisa side. I lifted his chin. "You alright?"
"Yeah, who would have guessed a drunk idiot would make such a mess of things, he could have ruined my dress." Nagisa said in a rather snobbish voice. I grinned in my head. Who would have thought it?
"Well you are right Damon she is a real balls kicker. Though she's not very big." Icho said.
Nagisa looked up at him. "Crack another one, I dare you. It'll be your nuts next buddy. I don't care about boobs to be honest with you I like them the way they are!"
"Woh there miss, I didn't mean to offend you it was just an observation." Icho said holding up his hands.
I took the drinks from him. "Yeah sure it was." I said elbowing Icho. "Don't you get started Mr!" Nagisa growled. "Hehe, yes ma 'me." I said looking down.
The light's dimed and the stage lights turned on. All eyes looked up on the stage.
A black woman walked on stage. With black short hair that spiked downwards covering her left red eyes. She wore a purple tribal silk dress. I gritted my teeth, that had to be Artisa. She's full of herself, she knows that she can't be touched.
"Hello to you all, I'm am truly honored that all of you could come be part of this tonight. Consider your selves the highest ranking business men in the world, you all have something that I am truly passionate for and it feels good to know that you share in my artistic flare. Rest assured we all will become close friends by the end of the night. Oh and boys? I have a surprise in store for you all, canister it a gift for me to you lovely gentleman for your time. Ladies?"
Woman in provocative clothing came out onto stage and music started playing as they danced.
Icho watched as Nagisa and I slipped away from the crowed.
I stopped and turned to Nagisa. His eyes were up on stage. "Angelica! Snap out of it focus." I said shaking him. "Uh what?"
"Angelica you alright?" I asked with conurn. "I'm fine Damon don't worry about it." He said slapping my hand away. I looked at him in shock. "No something isn't right…" I noticed that Nagisa started to walk away. I went to grab him but he got shallowed up by the crowd.
Dame it! What's going on, why is he acting like that? It has to be the music! I looked around and like Nagisa everyone was looking at the stage with blank expressions. Why am I the only one not effected?!
I tried to get through the crowd of people the best I could without drawing attention to myself. I had one thought on my mine. Nagisa! I just hope I could find him before he got into trouble. That's when I noticed that there were only men in the room.
It made sense this woman's MO is that she kills men only. God I have to find him before she does!
(Artisa's POV)
I sat in my chambers at the back of the stage. "Mistress?" Asked one of my guards.
"Um what is it darling I'm not interested if it's another one of those fools again." I said lightly.
To my shock a young girl came into my room. I put my glass of chapman down on the table and strayed over to her. I circled her with interest. "I've never seen anything like this? You must be that girl…what was your name ah yes, Angelica. Hum normally girls don't come and when they do they are dealt with quietly, yet you came to find me and you're hypnotized, oh this is rich you aren't a girl at all are you, hahaha oh this works more into my favor then ever I wanted."
(Nagisa's POV)
What's going on here? Why am I here with her!? Won't she just kill me? She knows who I am! Come on body move scream do something! Please!
(Artisa's POV)
"Darling these no need to be tense, relax. Come now I'm not going to hurt you that would be a waste of time and energy. Tell me why are you so afraid of me Angelica?" I purred into his ear as I ran my hand over his shoulders before massaging them.
(Nagisa's POV)
Oh god she's going to kill me I can tell by that look in her eyes and yet, her touch is like that of an angel's kiss. I should tell her. "Because I don't want to die."
(Artisa's POV)
"Ha-ha. Darling if I wanted to kill you I would have done it already, no I like you sweetie and when I like something I get it. Come please join me for a drink. I've been dying for a good time and for somebody to talk to." I said walking back over to my couch and picked back up my glass. The boy walked forward without hesitation and I poured him a drink. I handed it to him. "So darling who did you come here with tonight, and is he worth your time?"
(Nagisa's POV)
Don't tell her! Don't say anything lie! Lie until you cannot lie anymore! No she won't hurt you, she's not as bad as she was made out to be. She's friendly idiot. Stop second guessing your mistress. What the hell am I saying!? Stop it shut up! No tell her about Karma she should know!
"Damon. He's a great guy loves himself to the core."
She smiled. "Is that so? Well then I would like you to bring him to me after all he sounds charming enough. Sound like a good plan?"
No! bad idea! Then she'll have us both! That's when she'll strike us down and we'll lose this whole thing don't say- "Of course mistress, whatever your soul desires I shall bring it to you with no hesitation."
Face palm fuck me and this stupid…whatever the fuck this is!
"If I may ask why ask me to do this and not go yourself?" I asked forcing myself to try to focus and talk out of my own self-control.
(Artisa's POV)
He said that out of his own self-control, so he can fight the hypnosis. Hum this can complicate matters but all I have to do is get under his skin and get into his head only then can I truly play with my new doll.
"Tell me Angelica, your hair? Why do you insist on keeping it tied up like that? If you like it short, why haven't you cut it?" I asked. I watched him shift at the question. His eyes were still blank of expression but I could see fear and inner turmoil in those blank eyes.
There was a long pause. "My mother…she won't let me cut it even though I've tried sevel times to cut it, I guess I've gotten used to how it looks, that this is the hair style that I've had for years so in a way it would change who I am so I haven't cut it off."
"Oh? Your mother, what's she like?" I asked. Unlike before he awnsred right away. "She is a real phcyopath she drugged me and drove me to school and tried to force me to burn it to the ground. Hehehaha, she wanted me to be a girl because she never got to be one. All these years later she's barley any different. After I moved away to teacher's collage…it got quiet and mom would always call me every night to make sure I was okay. But hey that's how moms are I guess."
"How interesting she sounds like a very protective mother, in a way but to drug her own son?" I said in a shocked tone. "Yeah I know right? Hum." He said before trailing off.
"If you don't mind me asking darling I would like to meet the man you came with tonight? Could you bring him to me? If it's not too big of job for a strong intelligent man like yourself?" I charmed. "If this is what your soul desire I will bring Damon to you."
He got up from the couch and walked towards the door before leaving. This was going to be all to perfect Angelica will bring his partner back and then I'll figure out what to do with them.
I will always pull the strings...
