Chapter 3: Research and desires!

Start

Running nonstop, Dan's heart was beating painfully. Shun was more fast than him since he is a ninja in training. The first place they were heading was to Runo's house. Maybe Alice knows something. She's Jennifer's best friend. She has to know something.

She has to.

"Guys, wait!" Marucho called his friends. The laptop was a bit heavy for him. "Come on, Marucho! We can't waste time!" Dan said as Shun stopped running to help the newest member.

The battle brawlers group in less of 6 minutes, they were in Runo's house. Dan and Runo got stuck in the entrance attempting to get in the house at the same time. "Careful, dickhead!" Runo gritted her teeth's as Dan pushed her to be the first one to enter.

"Shut up, brat!"

"No you shut up!"

"Both shut up!" Shun kicked Dan's butt and they fell forwards with a loud thump. "Asshole!" Dan and Runo cursed the young ninja as he and Marucho went to Runo's room. "Alice!" Shun pushed the door open and the room was empty. Just a messy bed.

"Alice!" Dan entered inside the room along with Runo. "Where is she?" Runo checked the bathroom and even in the closet. But Alice was nowhere to be seen.

"Damn it!" Dan's fist collided with the wall. "Where is she!"

…

…

"Maybe Alice was kidnapped by Masquerade!" Marucho opened his laptop and started to scan the area. "We have to save Jennifer!"

"And Alice!"

"We don't even know where Alice is. She sometimes disappears for days!" Runo touched the bed. "It's cold! The last time I saw Alice was in this bed, sleeping." The lost of a member is bad but the lost of two members is too much. "Hey, maybe my parents know something!" Runo left the room and went to the kitchen. "Tch. At this rhythm we will never rescue her."

"Guys I didn't found anything!" Marucho closed his laptop, forgetting that Julie was on the other side. My parents don't know where Alice is!"

"Dan!" Shun called. "Maybe we should look for her tomorrow!"

"What? Are you kidding?"

"Shun is right, Dan" Marucho adjusted his glasses. "Tomorrow we have more probabilities to find both Alice and Jennifer!"

"Listen to them, Dan! I will ask my parents if you three can spend the night here!" The blue haired-girl placed her hand on Dan's shoulder, trying to calm him down. "If I was with her. She was here with us by now!"

"Don't blame yourself, my friend. Masquerade is the one who should be blamed." Shun went to the window, crossed his arms and watched the few cars passing the road. "I believe, Jennifer is okay. He can be a freak but he's not a murder or something like that!"

"He may not be a human murder but he's a Bakugan assassin!" Drago said.

"This is too much!" Dan left him numb body fell on Runo's bed, closing his eyes on the process. "The only thing we could do now is get a plan and tomorrow we can put it in practice!" Marucho opened his laptop and was greeted with a very angry Julie.

"What a day!" Dan breathed as he heard Runo screaming telling them, they could spend the night there.

Morning

The brawlers were already in the kitchen having a good breakfast. Dan wasn't eating anything, so his friends warned him, if he wanted to find his friends he needed it to eat. His mother called worried and almost exploded his ears, since she was very angry with him.

"Man, I can't eat anymore!"

"Come we have to go!" Shun said after thanking Runo's parents. "Alright!" Dan got up and went to the entrance. After some minutes Marucho, Runo and Shun joined him. "We're going to start at school!"

"Thank God, it's Saturday."

"Yeah, yeah! Come on!"

"Dan wait, we didn't decided the teams yet!" Marucho pulled a piece of paper full of instructions.

"Dan. You and i are going to look at school!" He said looking at his friends face. "Runo. You're going to look for them at the park!" Runo nodded, grabbed the sheet and left. "Shun. You're going to look for them at the carnival!"

"Are you sure in these places we're going to find something?" Shun asked. "Seriously, I don't know. But we have to try. You see. Alice and Jennifer are used to go to these places!"

"Ok! I meet you two at-" Shun gazed the paper and them looked back at his friends. "The subway!" Then he vanished, as usual like a true ninja. If Dan wasn't so concern about his friends, he would have called something to him.

"Ok, Marucho. Let's resolve this once for all!" Then the brown haired-boy started to run in direction of school, leaving behind the poor Marucho.

Masquerade's mansion

Again the lights. The old smell of the furniture. And a sensation of bounded?

Great.

The sunrays were hurting her eyes. The dogs were barking outside. The pain on her neck, were too much. Opening her eyes slightly, Jennifer looked at her writs and they were tied up. The sun was shining and she was wondering if this was what he meant, when he told her, he would let her see some light.

"Bastard!" she said, trying to get free, from the ropes. "This is going to leave a mark!"

"If you had behaved last night, I would just locked you instead of tie you up." Jennifer looked to her right side and saw Masquerade with his arms crossed, leaned against the door. "You're going to pay, freak!"

"Good morning for you too, Jenny!"

"Don't call me Jenny, freak!"

"I see. You're always like this in the mornings?"

"Fuck you!"

"Alright then, sleepy beauty!"

"Shut up!"

Chuckle.

…

"That's futile!" he said casually, heading to the secretary, leaning against it. "I made sure that the ropes would keep you there, without problems!"

Jennifer continued with the process to get free, and as usual with no success.

*Frustrated sigh*

"Why don't you just accept your defeat!"

"Why don't you release me so I could kick your ass!"

"Sorry I can't!" He went to her direction and tightened the rope. "Fuck-!" The masked boy grabbed her face and said to the angry girl very slowly. "Behave yourself or I will have to gag you!" She could feel his breath against her face. "Or maybe I will have to cut your tongue!" He released her, waiting for her to spit again or even try to bite him.

…

…

"Good girl!" He said closing the door behind him, with a chuckle.

"FREAK!" She screamed angry and struggled more. The ropes were starting to burn her skin, since she was struggling violently.

"*Sigh* Where are you guys! He will not release me. I practically discovered his plans!" Closing her eyes for a moment, Jennifer tried to not release a single tear. "Kiriku, w-where are you!" she sobbed.

This mansion was indeed amazing. The ornamentation was beautiful with the pictures, pillars well sculptured, furniture, carpets well everything was very spectacular. "He has a good life, by sensing bakugans to the doom dimension"

"Actually that's not true!" Masquerade appeared again, opening the door fully. "Freak!"

"Now, now. I came here to ask if you want to eat breakfast but it seems you're not hungry." He mocked her, taking a few steps forward. "I'm not hungry!"

"Are you sure!"

"Yes, I'm sure!"

"Ok, then!" He went to her direction and seated on the edge of the bed. He looked amused although her glares were intimidating.

…

…

"Release me, freak!"

…

…

"Did you know, you speak when you're sleeping!"

"WHAT?"

*Chuckle*

"You watched me sleeping!" She asked, trying to get some space from the mysterious boy. "You're truly a frea-!" Index finger on her mouth Masquerade mocked her as usual. "I can maybe be a freak but I have feelings too!" He quickly took his finger out of her lips since she tried to bite him. "You feelings! Stop mocking me. I-I can't believe you watched me while I was sleeping"

Jennifer started to struggle, struggle and hyperventilating. "You could have done something to me!"

"What!" He asked as his smirk faded. "You could have touched me!"

"I have better things to do than touch you!" he said seriously. "You're just a kid!"

"What!"

"You heard me! You're just a kid." Masquerade released the ropes and got up. She rubbed her wrists and glared at him"I'm not a kid. I'm already a woman!" A laugh was heard in the small room. "You a woman? You sure!"

*Glare*

"Bastard!" She threw a pillow against his face. "I'm a woman! And Yes I'm sure." She got at her knees and glared. "The kid here is YOU. An annoying selfish brat who just wants attention."

"You're right! You aren't a kid. You're a baby!"

"What?"

"A woman wouldn't react like that. A kid would be more mature. But a baby? I doubt it! " Masquerade mocked her crossing his arms, gazing the girl's reaction through his glassed mask.

…

….

"Would a baby do this?" Jennifer jumped to him and their lips collapsed together. They fit perfectly. Masquerade is the type of guy who always reads his opponents strategies but this girl wasn't so predictable as he had thought.

Shocked with her reaction, Masquerade wasn't expecting that. His arms went to her waist unintentionally. Her lips did the entire job. They were so soft and sweet. He had never kissed a girl before. Did all the girls tasted sweetly like this one?

Although being masked, Masquerade closed his eyes and enjoyed the kiss. He knew his intention should push her away but he wanted to be kissed.

'The door is open. He maybe has some sort of vehicle to take him out of here!' Jennifer opened one eyes to look at her surroundings. She could see here reflection on his well conserved mask. Not only a scratch was present on that mask.

His hands were so soft, his grip was firm, his lips were a pure sweet poison, and his heart beat was music to her hears. 'Ok, think Jenny.' She closed her eye again; afraid that he would have discovered her true intentions. But hearing his low moans it only meant, he was enjoying the kiss.

'Smack his head until he loses consciences and then copy those files and get the hell out of here. Yes, that'll work-!' Much to her displeasure Masquerade tightened his grip on her, when she tried to move.

After a good 5 minutes, he started to fall on his senses, she felt it. And to improve she plopped her tongue on his mouth hearing a gasp from the masked boy.

He wasn't expecting that either. And to her surprise he kissed her back. Even in the kiss he wanted to win. And after a good tongue brawling, Masquerade won. She hear his victorious hum. And pissed as she was, Jennifer pressed her body even more, making both of them fall on the wooden floor. "Bastard!" She whispered before he smashed his lips on hers again, rolling her over so he could be on top.

"Am I still a baby!" she asked turning her face to the other side giving him access to her neck. "No. You're a woman!" He trailed the tip of his tongue on her soft spot, wetting her skin.

His chest was hard. He allowed her hands to travel his upper body as he stopped kissing her, gazing her instead, while his breathing was raced.

Her eyes watched him impassively. Inviting him to continue. Button by button she opened his white cloak, revealing an armor underneath of it. "Do you have more secrets that I should know?" she whispered seductively hearing silence as an answer.

Grabbing his shoulders, Jennifer whispered at his ear. "Let's find out then!" She slowly took off his cloak, with a little help from him. She had serious doubts about this. She was expecting him to do something but not play along with her. Unless that he's just testing her.

But nothing came.

He just undressed his white cloak and gazed the girl underneath him. That stupid glassed mask didn't allow her to see his true face. His hands were on each side of her head; his lips assumed a thin line, his legs were on each side of her, his expression showed nothing.

What is he planning?

Afraid that he would discover everything, Jennifer slowly unbuttoned her shirt, he breathed and bent down, kissing her lips, as his hands went to her chest snatching her own hands so he could, undress her himself.' Or maybe he wasn't planning anything at all!' she thought panicked, spanking herself mentally.

Her hands instinctively went to his shoulders, trying to get him off her. His lips were glued with hers. His hands, his kisses were demanding. In seconds her shirt were open, exposing her bra to him. Hidden eyes gazing the beauty exposed to him. He was heavier than she had thought.

…

…

So this is call desire!

Lowering his body, he crushed her with his weight. Her hands went to his silky blond hair; while he sank his teethes on her neck. His hands travelled her body in a rush, grabbing her legs and encircle them around his waist. They started to sweat as the minutes passed. He pressed his lower part against hers, hearing a moan from the excited girl.

The sound of their wet kisses were magical. Getting up, Jennifer gazed Masquerade confused. He didn't said a word. He grabbed her and tossed her to the dusty bed, and continued what he was doing earlier.

'Control, control Jennifer. This is going too far.' She felt him rub harder this time, making her senses gone lost. His hands were so gentle as he grabbed her wrists together, kissing her nonstop. Then suddenly he stopped. She looked at her reflection, blushing madly as a smirk formed into those sexy lips.

"You really thought that you would catch me, with that!" He asked as she tried to move her wrists only to find them tied up again. "That was a good move!" He whispered tighten the rope as his hand slide from the rough material, passing through her breasts and end up on her waist, taking one of his bakugans from her. "You're smart. No breakfast to you!" Then he got up and dressed his white cloak again.

"BASTARD!" She cursed him, knowing she wasn't successful. "I am the bastard? I acknowledged you as a woman. Aren't you happy?" He asked her covering her body.

"Fuck you!" she cursed him furious.

"You were expecting that, weren't you?" He asked laughing, closing the door slowly. "RRR, I HATE YOU!" She screamed enraged.

Behind her door, Masquerade took some deep breaths. 'That girl almost caught me!' He cursed. Truly he was loving the sensation. It made his blood boil. If he had continued he would have force himself on her. Of course he knew what her plans was, but it was better this way, or she would have a good reason to call him rapist.

"But we can't rape the willing, can we?" He mumbled going to his room. Right now his best friend was a cold shower.

Dan and Marucho

It was useless. None of them found any clue, where Jennifer or Alice could be. Did he abduct Alice too?

"What do you mean you didn't found anything!" Dan asked while Marucho made a few analyses on the grass and tree. "Well go see again-!"

…

"I don't know. Ask people!" Then he hangs up the phone. "This is impossible. Shun said that Alice doesn't appear in the park in a few days. And now Runo calls me, telling me that she's on her way to meet us here."

"Try to calm down, Dan. We're doing the possibles to find Jenny. Just take a deep breath." The blond kid said taking a few samples with him. "I know. I'm so worried about them. It makes sense. You see they are best friends. Masquerade took the vantage of their friendship to abduct them, so he could proceed with his plans."

…

"But what plans!"

Placing the model on his pocket, Marucho turned around and faced his friend. "I will take these to make a research. Go home and interrogate Kiriku again."

"But I already did that." The brawler was very angry. He didn't seemed fine knowing that Masquerade attacked in their school, not to mention Alice's disappearing. "Kiriku was nervous, so as you. Just go to your house and then I will be there with the others!"

…

…

*sigh*

"You're right, Marucho. I'm not helping at all being like this. I'll wait for you at my house. See ya!" then he started to run in direction of his house. "This is strange!" Marucho commented to himself "What does Masquerade wants with Jenny and Alice?"

…

…

"Something is not right!"

Masquerade

A cold shower?

It was supposed to help him not turn him on. Now he's really horny. His wet hair fell onto his shoulders; her scent was being washed away, his mask was starting to slide from his face because of the water.

A dangerous growl came deeply from his throat. "That girl!" he gritted his teeth, setting his mask straight. "She won this battle!" He looked down and said more pissed than ever. "I refuse to do it!"

No one can resist the desire…

….not even him….

My note: Just changing.
