"Bloody Tears"

By: xSorceress

Chapter-3

&&

Many, many months had passed. Maybe a year perhaps. Well the two lovers reached a far away city to which they would live out the rest of their lives. Love always consumed the bodies of Kazi's parents and so in that particular city; Kazi had a house, a simple home, not too flashy and not too shabby either. But that was the last thing they needed to worry about. They needed money and needed it badly. But they couldn't just put themselves out into the open; they barely made it through the nights. But they had each other and it was all they wanted but this theory didn't last for long.

"Kazi please I want to be able to pay for my own food, I don't want this anymore! I wanna go home please! Maybe if we go home they'll understand our love can't be broken!" Ayu half senseless with the lack of food. Tears couldn't help fall.

Like I've mentioned before, she's exhausted and used her last bit of energy, she collapsed, knees first. Kazi held her before her limps could touch the ground. But kazi knew that the goddess in his arms was right, they couldn't live like this. It was alright in the beginning but things spiraled out of control. Ayu's eyes so weak, Kazi looked deep into them, he broke inside. But he wasn't going to give up just like that, not after all they've been through. They needed money, a lot of money, right now.

By this time Ayu had already fell asleep in Kazi's arms. He carried her bridal style back to their bedroom, where the most passion filled nights of his life smiled at him. He couldn't see Ayu like this; he never could put her through so much. Guilt consumed him whole. He looked back at her one last time and left to find out some way to put her out of her misery. He let her rest on the bed while he went out for a walk, trying to figure something out.

He walked down the blood filled streets, dogs fighting like animals, when I write dogs I don't mean our family pets, gun shots filled the air. Nothing could ever bring that neighborhood back to normal, ever. His conscience strangled him, pushed him off a cliff, cut him into 1 cubic centimeter squares, fried him, and then feeds him to a pit bull. How sweet. Suddenly he heard a woman shrieking for help. He turned away but his conscience got the better of him. He ran to a dark alley, where he heard the scream coming from, but no one was there. The darkness looked grim at him. He knew there was somebody there. He could sense it. His back was to the entrance of the alley when a shadow, a creature, an evil creature, wings of bats, body of the shoithan appeared before his eyes. He looked back, as his hair swished in the air; he did not find a hideous beast but an old man. The man was old but still had health, he stood with a particularly disturbing cane of skulls and restless spirits, he was as pale as hospital sheets, he wore rather mysterious but elegant clothing of those of a very high standard.

Kazi just stared at the man, which was received by a sly smile from the man. Kazi realized he had no business there and walked to exit the alley. But just when Kazi reached the distance where he stood just next to the strange old man, something unexpected revealed itself.

"Where are you going my dear……………………………Kazi?"

"How do you know my name?"

"O don't worry I know a lot of things about you Kazi, about your home, about ……………………..Ayu, you're a very naughty little boy"

"What have you done to her!" kazi now fierce.

"Relax my dear boy; she's perfectly safe, in the sheets of your bedroom"

"You've been spying on us you sick-……….."

"O there's no need to get aggressive, I don't spy I can guarantee you, let's say I have a special gift"

"I don't need any of this shit, I'm leaving"

"But Kazi I know a little bit more too, about your money problems………………………….I could help, all you have to do is work for me, you can probably guess I'm loaded"

Kazi was desperate; he needed that sweet green, quick and fast. For Ayu, at least.

"What kind of work?"

"I don't think you're in that position to ask my dear boy, I'll call you when I need you, so what do you say?"

He was right. Kazi needed to take the first job offer he could find and apparently this one was pretty good paying. Kazi knew it too.

"Deal, what do I have to do?"

"Just give me your soul"

"What?"

"Sign here" In the most disturbing voice possible.

The old man pulled out a piece of paper from the inside of that disturbing crane. It was a contract, rolled up. He handed it to Kazi for him to sign. Kazi stared at it for a while. He took the contract and unrolled, but when he unrolled it full, the paper seemed to bite him, causing a cut on Kazi's thumb, projecting just a single drip of blood to fall on the dreadful document.

"O that's fine as well" The man now snatching the paper away. "To encourage you Kazi, tomorrow morning, you'll have baskets full of money waiting for you on your doorstep……………………….Ayu will be happier than a hunter in deer season"

Kazi went to look back up at the man but he was gone; disappeared into the dark. Kazi walked back to the house, laid beside Ayu, gracing his hand to massage her still luscious face. She smiled. He smiled.

"Ayu, I have no idea what shit I put myself into but I did for you baby" With that said Kazi closed his tiring lids and fell fast asleep.

The morning police sirens brought them up from dreamland. When suddenly the door bell rang. Kazi's heart thumped vigorously for the first time. Ayu was awake too. She also heard the door bell. She cautiously neared the front door. And opened it, she screamed. Kazi ran to Ayu's rescue but then finding Ayu on the floor, sitting, looking at something. Kazi couldn't believe it, a basket full of hundred dollar bills. He sat next to Ayu who gave him the biggest hug.

"I knew you could do it! I'm happier than a hunter in deer season!"

Kazi paused for a moment. Did he just hear? Was this all real? Could it really be? But he had to give credit to the old man. Kazi owed the man more than he knew to bring that glow back into Ayu's eyes again. He laughed with her. They locked in a simple kiss. But he knew he couldn't stay long. He knew what he had to do.

He raced back to that same alley, trying vigorously, to locate the old man. He called out to him, but it was of no use. What has he gotten himself into? Why did the man want him? Or was this all a sick, teasing dream? Uh-oh not again, a shadow. Kazi turned, it was him.

"Hello again Kazi"

"Thank you, really, you have no idea how much that meant to me"

"No need to thank me, don't worry, you'll repay me back soon enough, I can guarantee that"

Kazi knew his game. There was no point in asking questions. But there was one thing he had to ask.

"Who are you?"

"That's something I can tell you, my name is li-ved"

"Li-ved……….any special meaning to such a…………………………name"

"More special you'll ever hope to know"

"Hmmm……………………………."

"Kazi, you work for me now, you will follow my every bidding when I need you, but the rewards are great"

"I understand."

"Good boy, now run along back home to Ayu, she's got a surprise for you."

Li-ved was right, she did. Kazi returned home, he opened the bedroom door. To find Ayu lying on the bed with her knees bent and her back to the pillows with her sexiest lingerie, velvet silk with hand woven lace in every corner. She parted her legs for him.

"You've earned it"

Come my lady, come, come my lady,

You're my butterfly, sugar baby,

Come my lady, come my pretty baby,

I'll make your legs shake, you make me go crazy.

They started the dance of love yet again. A few hours had passed already. They've put through most of the delights of sex already when suddenly the phone rang. Kazi picked up the phone, guess who it is.

"I need you Kazi, your first assignment, meet me at the same place where we first exchanged greetings, now"
