Lemony: Hey guess what…I'm still sick XD. But its ok, my Granddad made me soup and he read the story, he was mad as hell that I based Mushi off of him but happy at the same time. Love You Granddaddy!
Silver Moon
Mushi told Toothie to stay behind and watch the shop just in case Gin came back. Meanwhile he and Rukia set off in search of Gin. Rukia was following so closely behind Mushi she kept stepping on his robes. Mushi shrugged it off, she wasn't the first frightened girlfriend and she certainly wouldn't be the last. They walked, gun at the ready, and crystal glowing steadily. Mushi was getting more and more frustrated as the seconds ticked by and the glow remaining faint.
"Gin's a fast little fucker, I'll give him that." Mushi muttered as he looked back at the crystal becoming more faint. Rukia's eyes darted from place to place, every shadow frightened her. She was lucky she didn't run into anything, because that would have been ugly. Rukia was afraid that the crystal wasn't working and that Gin might be somewhere nearby, pacing, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Mushi said werewolves hunt those closest to them, and Rukia would be first on the menu. Her breathing was shallow and weak, and her heart rate was erratic. She thought she was going to die from cardiac arrest, that'd be better than getting mauled to death by her boyfriend turned werewolf. In the back of her mind, Rukia was praying to every deity she could think of. Gin was sick. He didn't choose to become a werewolf, and Rukia felt fully responsible. Had she not been so insecure and started that fight, she'd be at home, and Gin would be with her perfectly normal. But noooo, she was walking around the city at an ungodly time of night searching for a werewolf!
At what point did it all go so wrong?
The crystal glowed brighter and Mushi smirked. They where getting close. The pair came across a graveyard and Mushi frowned.
Why did it always have to be graveyards?
"Rukia, don't be scared," Mushi whispered to terrified girl. Don't be scared? Rukia wasn't Van Helsing, therefore she had every right to be scared!
Meanwhile inside the place where death reigns, Akane was studying her mate. The slender woman leap from the tree directly in front of the snarling beast. Akane put her hand to Gin's muzzle, he leaned into her touch.
"You are strong." Akane purred placing her hand to Gin's massive, hair-covered chest. Akane was awe at the beast. He was unlike any werewolf she had ever seen. He was hungry for flesh and thirsty for pleasure, certainly a fitting mate. Akane smirked, Gin survived her bit and had become more of werewolf then she had expected. Most mortals die within their first few moons, but Gin showed promise.
Akane was pleased.
He was worthy to call himself werewolf, and worthy of her. The black-haired woman felt a sudden warmth spread through her. She petted Gin's head, he purred. The beast inhaled and got a strong sniff of Akane. It smelled her arousal, strong and musky. He was so ready to mate. The beast placed its clawed hands around Akane's slender wait and pulled her into him, he nuzzled her neck wanting to bit her but hesitated. Akane giggled.
"You are ready to mate I see…" She whispered in it's pointy ears, the beast seemed to nod.
"Then what are you waiting for?" She hummed to him,
"Oh no you don't!" Mushi screamed at the pair, firing off a warning shot. Mushi had sprinted into the graveyard with Rukia following behind. He was so pissed off steam leaking out of his ears, he want to shoot something! Rukia looked to the pair and swallowed, Gin was holding her like a lover. The way he used to Rukia.
Mushi fired again, this time barely missing Gin. The beast shoved Akane behind him, bent on protecting her. He roared as Mushi and Rukia approached.
"Do you want to protect me Gin?" Akane whispered in ear, the beast nodded.
"Then, kill the man and the girl." Akane growled looking to the horizon. It was nearly sunrise and she needed to find shelter. She was only venerable during the daytime. Akane took a step back as a fog fell over the graveyard. She let out a menacing laugh as she backed into the smoky cloud and disappeared from sight. Gin charged at the pair fully intent on fulfilling Akane's wishes. His mate said she wanted them dead, and Gin would hang on her every word. Mushi shoved Rukia into an open grave to keep Gin from jumping on her, he braced himself. Mushi liked the kid, but he was threat now.
That meant Mushi had to take him down.
Gin began to charge at the elderly man, with murder in his red eyes. Gin's human mind was begging him to stop, but his primal urges took over any form of rational thinking. Gin leapt into the air, ready to pounce on Mushi until…
POW!
The beast whimpered and toppled onto the grown in front of Mushi, he was withering in pain as the silver bullet into its side. Mushi shook his head, he hadn't wanted to shoot Gin, but he left him no choice. Mushi considered Gin lucky that the sun was rising and the bullet didn't kill him.
"Rukia, look after Gin!" Mushi commanded as he ran into the slowly fading fog. Mushi fired shot after shot until he ran out of bullets.
"You werewolf bitch!" Mushi shouted as the fog vanished into thin air. Mushi was seeing red, there was no doubt in his mind the girl Gin was caressing was the wolf that bit him. Mushi had almost had her!
Gin's beastly body began to deteriorate and transform back into his human self. Rukia was trying to put pressure on the wound to keep Gin from bleeding to death. Mushi, meanwhile, was screaming obscenities at nothing.
Again.
He must've said the word 'bitch' a hundred times in the course of ten seconds. Mushi had to count to ten to get himself under control. He tucked his pistol into his robes and approached the injured man. Gin was losing consciousness, Mushi shook his head. He grasp Gin by the arm and began to drag him back to the shop.
For an old man, Mushi was strong. He yanked Gin all the back to the shop, hauled him into the basement, and thru him onto the twin size bed. Toothie had been waiting from them, first-aid kit in hand.
"Thanks toots." Mushi said to the buxom woman as he began to patch Gin up. He slipped in and out of consciousness. Once Mushi finished his botched bullet-removal, he patted Gin on the stomach.
"There now. You get some rest, lord knows you need it." Mushi said to the silver-haired man. Rukia sat beside him, holding his hand tight blinking back tears.
"Mushi…" She said as he turned to leave,
"Yes love buttons?" Mushi asked turning on his heels to face the younger Kuchiki.
"Why was he holding her like that?" Rukia asked softly never taking her eyes off a sleeping Gin. Mushi signed.
"I recognize that girl. Her name is Akane, she's a pureblood werewolf. Gin survived her bite, so she's chosen him to be her mate. She'll stop at nothing to make sure she gets him." Mushi explained, his green eyes sliding over to Gin.
"Listen Rukia, sense Akane bit Gin their bond is strong. But yours is stronger! Once he wakes up you and Gin need to reconnect." He continued, Rukia quirked an eyebrow.
"Reconnect?" Rukia repeated, Mushi rolled his eyes.
"Yes, reconnect, you know. You guys need to screw, fuck, do the freaky-sneaky whatever you wanna call it. The stronger your bond, the less influence Akane has over Gin. Understand?" Mushi said, Rukia nodded. That made sense, she guessed.
"Rukia can I tell you something?" Mushi asked softly, Rukia nodded once more. Mushi took a deep breathe.
"Akane…she killed my son. His name was Ichirou. She bit him forty years ago…he survived but he couldn't control his urges…" Here Mushi paused, it had been so long sense he told another living soul about his deceased son. A lump formed in Mushi's throat, he hadn't cried since the death of his son, but now those same feeling of dread began to wash over him.
"I had to shoot him…I had to put him out of his misery…" Mushi finished looking up at the ceiling. "And from that day forward, I swore to help anyone who didn't want to be a werewolf, and I swore on my son's grave I would kill that bitch."
Rukia digested his words. So that's why Mushi was so hell-bent on helping Gin, he just wanted some redemption. Rukia felt sorry for the old man and the burden he carried on his heart, Akane was evil and she needed to be destroyed. She had claimed Mushi's son and was no trying to claim Gin.
Rukia would never let that happen. At that very moment, all fear ceased to exist. Rukia looked down at her sleeping lover and curled up next to him on the tiny twin bed, she'd do anything to help Gin now.
Lemony: And the plot thickens! Akane is evil and needs to be destroyed! But first a lemon, and what of Mushi's dead son. Come on now, I had to add more depth to his character. BTW 'Ichirou' in Japanese means 'one son' again, the name just fit. REVIEW!
