A.N:
Not much action in this story since i didn't feel like writting anything in action department because i haven't been in the mood since started raining back over here. On top of that i am thinking of trading in or selling my 5+ year old laptop for a new one since it getting worn down to the point it is freezing up on me.
Within the confinements of popular bar that was well visited by college crowd and tourists called the X. Two known celebrities could be found in the VIP section of this bar chatting about a transaction. One was winged diva in some mini-dress and marching wedges with hair in an up-do. Who wore simple jewelry in from of a gold chain with heart shaped links and matching gold ring. Other was the idol or international superstar Demyx Aino dressed in his usual clothes and signature hairstyle. With a single piercing of gold ring in his left ear and ring on 1 of his fingers.
"Here are your drinks;" A waitress walked up to them. "One old fashion and one sea breeze."
She ended up laying down the drinks upon the table in front of sofa both sat on as flashed went off. This scared the waitress off since she was almost blinded by the on and off bright lights. Not use to the paparazzi like the people she justs served were as they went on to just talk.
"To working together..." Jewel placed a hand out.
"So true." Demyx took her hand.
Both were talking about future interest of working together on a few albums and even series of concerts. They both were already going on tour together that would start here on Crystal Tokyo, and would end in Hawaii. Here they were meeting in public with out the lawyers or managers to make their own deals.
"By the way," Jewel reached for her purse. "I've got a thank you gift for your daughter."
Demyx knew about the rescue attempt Mina and Percy successfully pulled during Miss. Singing Sensation. Was kept impressed with way Mina had the mental strength to break the spell of a Fallen Winged. With out the aid of her Summon Spirit using borrowed ability from a sealed likes Jewel.
"About your wings..." Demyx noticed they were bigger.
Jewel explained her winged abilities and wings have become unsealed when Venus and her synchronized. During the battle that took place between them and Fallen Winged named Vera during the canceled pageant. While she pulled a sealed pink envelope from her purse winking at Demyx. Telling him his daughter should get ready for her first real photo shoot and interviews to follow. Before she got to her heeled feet taking her purse with her to down her drink in one gulp. Had her slamming the cup down as she walked away blowing a kiss toward Demyx from those plump pink lips.
"Wow..." Demyx watched her walked away.
"Well kitten...she everything they saw she is?" Xigbar's got his attention.
"Yeah and I am regretting it." Demyx couldn't turn away.
Xigbar ended up stepping into Demyx's line of sight to the point he would block his point of view. Leaning over to capture Demyx's lips with in own beginning a kiss that drew the blond rock star out his trance. Wouldn't last long between them since paparazzi had to be chased off. Leaving Demyx to relax and enjoy his drink thinking what his daughter and her friends were up to.
Since at the moment Mina and the gang were sitting around the 3rd floor of Fallen Moon sampling sweets shop new menu. Elizabeth wanting to show her gratitude did most of the cooking. It seemed every one of the meals was Halloween Town inspired from its appetizers to soup. As once mixture stood out among all them on the form of a stew called 7-organ soup.
Right off Percy and Aaron didn't want to touch mid-size bowl that was laid in front of them. Edea wanted the recipe after taking 3 whole spoonfuls because of the unique taste that tingled her tongue. Diamond poked his bowl before Fuu had to encourage him to eat it. Kendra and Raine just ate the bowl put in front of then as Archer asked Maxi if stuff in the bowl was eatable. Maxi ended up telling Archer to eat what lay before him as he stuck a spoon in Archer's hand. Akane was to busy adjusting her camera's self timer on the tri-pod right next to her seat. Reks was kindly eating the dish on his 2nd helping since the taste and ingredients in soup didn't bother him. Avatar was to busy scanning the hot mixture with his internal sensors debating to touch it, or not.
"The 7 organs I use in my soup are a liver, heart, both lunges, stomach, pieces of large intestine, tongue, and brain," She listed the organs. "They're all animal of course."
She began her detailed preparation for making her soup that kept agree with everyone when they listen. The detail she went about soaking an animal liver in seasoned milk for 3 1/2 hours in cold area. The emptying out an animal stomach and lungs that would be sewn back up after they were filled with chopped vegetables. Followed by intestine and tongue being finely chopped up and added to a pot. Filled with broth or stock from boiled turkey bones while heart and brain are marinated in seasoned, apple cider vinegar.
As she went on about how certain amount of time passes the organs, except the stomach and lungs, are finely sliced up. Added into the same pot the stomach and lungs have been in since they were removed. From the now boiling container, as stomach and lungs snitching is loosen, and contains are added to boiling liquid. Leaving the heart and lungs to be added after they're cut up.
"PLEASE STOP!" Percy and Aaron yelled out at the same time.
"Someone has a weak stomach." Edea knew neither one could take it.
Elizabeth watched one boy head to the nearest bathroom as other got up from his seat going straight for trash can. Where he ended up throwing up whatever contains was disgusting in his own stomach. Where Mina told both were wusses as Akane ended up getting pictures of them. Archer ended up pushing his bowl away, as Diamond didn't want to touch his serving once. Edea like Reks were to busy enjoying her own meal to care as the others just went on eating.
"They always like this?" Elizabeth dryly asked Michiko.
The silver haired woman looked up from the sketch Xavier had drawn for her of the two people describes to him. From their encounters with the people the paper actually held as Michiko took a deep breath before handing the picture to Elizabeth. Asking her in the gentlest of matter if 1 of the faces within the drawing is her missing husband. Before Elizabeth's reddish-cobalt colored eyes that dialed back when they looked upon an image. Strong chin on a narrowed out face with piercing bluish-cobalt colored eyes looked at her. The nose and lips on the mans face weren't much to look at as the picture was put down.
"Yes, that is my husband, but that...metal chain...embedded in his neck is not apart of usual taste in jewelry," Elizabeth tried to hold back her suppressed angry. "My guess about him being here was right."
As Elizabeth spoke she ended up bending the metal spoon in her hand in two trying too not to give in. Telling them back on her home world a black hearted sorceress and her followers stirred up trouble. They ended up stealing a Mana text about resurrection magick from Dr. Frankston's research library. Then kidnapped Kade when he was out hunting one day in his wolf form in woods. Before they could start harvesting certain souls or wandering spirits that added up to amount of 13. They were all exile by Pumpkin King for disturbing the peace taking Kade with them when they left.
"Now they have come to your world to finish what their master couldn't finish..." Elizabeth couldn't finish talking.
She put down her bent spoon noticing what she had down as her eyes took on a full Colbert coloring. Explaining a powerful ceremony within stolen text that possibly could resurrect Chaos. To a mortal form or body that would function as his vessel so he could walk on human soil.
"All I want is my mate back..." Elizabeth finished her rant.
Down her pale cheek bone a teardrop made of blood slid as she allowed her self to cry over her lonely heart. That would be wiped by napkin being pressed to her cheek by Reks telling everything was fine. She smiled ended up placing one of her hands upon his own giving him slight chills. When the warm texture of his skin came into brief contact with her own completely ice cold skin. Making him pull away and reminding him the woman he felt compassion for could rip out his beating heart.
"We're screwed," Akane's words sounded not so confident. "...I mean..."
As she tried to change her sentencing after speaking her mind she started to wish she were with Xavier. The reason why the blonde wasn't among them testing new foods for the Shops menus {something he already done millions of times since he used to lived their}. Was because he was visiting with his birthfather {without Lex} needing to know something. So both sat with the sitting room of Kei's house. Staring at the coffee table holding 2 streaming cup of hot tea. Freshly brought in here by Kei who sat opposite of Xavier processing the boy's question about his elfin blood.
"You sure a Fallen Winged said she smelled elfin blood...on you?" Kei re-asked Xavier.
"Does he have to re-peat the phrase for the 5th time?" Thorn was getting annoyed.
Coldfang stayed away from the once sided conversation that had dazed Kei trying to understand something. She knew the elder male was trying to figure out something that had to do with genetics. Instead of interfering like she was known for doing when it came to situations like this. She was going to stay out of it as Kei started to speak of how his family's elfin bloodline was weird one.
"Any form of Magick that streams from Chaos' veins," Kei tried not to laugh. "Doesn't quite agree anyone from my family's bloodline...like that one time your gender switched."
"...Moving on..." Xavier hatred remembering that time.
Kei swallowed his laugh fit long enough to go on about how certain genes only are found in his family's bloodline. Other then the off reaction to Chaos' magick and sensitive sensation to magick in general. Aside from the natural ability to become close to any type of beast without experience.
"I just thought that since you mom was a mortal," Kei shrugged. "You wouldn't ended up with...drop of elfin blood..."
"You couldn't' tell me this sooner?" Xavier asked him.
Kei couldn't help but try not to laugh again as Thorn raised his head up and stuck his nose where it wasn't allowed. The very coffee table where the cups of tea had been sitting there up touched. So with a simple push from his wet snout over the porcelain cups went spilling their liquid. All over the glass top of the coffee table that would be licked up by Thorn being called hopeless.
"I'll be right back and stop drinking that." Kei flicks Thorn's on his nose.
"Ever heard of self-control." Xavier took hold of Thorn's collar.
Thorn ended up pushing that urge aside when he felt the familiar tugging of someone's hand on his collar. That he answered by returning to the seat he was laying in before the ringing of Xavier's cell went off. Would be answered with a sour expression by the blonde not pleased with who was calling. Since upon the screen was a flashing picture of his Aunt Yukio's picture and name. Telling him he better answer before he got a few unwanted messages threatening his manhood. When he pressed that answer button he got earful of pleading of Yukio wanting to him or Lex. To come over to Reno's apartment and baby-sit THEIR newborn while she was finished being moved in.
"Lex is at practice." Xavier bit his tongue.
"So...its just you?" Yukio didn't sound please.
"You just wanted to take advantage of his strength." Xavier knew her.
"Well I don't trust Reno with my neon palm tree." She sounded disappointed.
Xavier ended up hearing her rant and rave about this and that before agreeing to come over there. The screeching coming from that woman made him want to hang up or even hang up on her. Option two was what he picked as he hung up after telling her he already plans for the day.
"Something wrong?" Kei asked entering the room.
"No just the usual." Xavier turned off his phone.
Kade zipped up his jacket before pocketing a sealed jar that contained a newly capture spirit he been spent to collect. He hatred how he had to walk into this gated community disguised of a male nurse. Where he had entered the home of Winged Diva and removed the soul of her mortal lover. Leaving the guy's body to become brain dead with only machines able to keep him alive. As his 'murder' escaped through already made shadow tunnel Vera secretly left behind.
Here Kade stood outside this gated community trying to handle his over whelming guilty for taking a life. Unable to so anything because of his carefully placed collar that had been embedded into his neck.
"Goddess...I am already hating my existence." Kade whispered.
"Then what we're doing with it is quite handy." Vera's voice plenty laughed.
Kade then felt hands that didn't feel like cold stone press against the back of his windbreaker in slow matter. The slowly slid down the natural lines of skin that lay under neither the layers of clothing. Followed by sensation of 2 fleshly mounds being pushed up against his upper back and shoulder blades. Instead empty pulse or no heart beat in within a 36-in chest wrapped in designer lingerie. He got active pulse in a 24-in bust line from someone making her way toward open pockets; since 1 of them held a jar she needed to take back.
"You're not getting anywhere;" Kade knew what she was doing. "Since I'm use to being roughly handle."
"Not all of us are like that blood-sucking parasite you call a mate/wife." Vera whispered into his ear.
"Just get what you need and lets move on." Kade just let her feel him up.
This got him called a good boy before he got pat on his head as piece of paper was shoved into his hands. Where he got an eyeful of the clothes that Vera decided to wear that just made him stare. Since what she wore was that of nurse uniform of Sacred Angel hospital maternity ward. Telling him the search the sprits of Great Child & Dire Mother has come to end for them both.
"Off to the apartment of Blessed One." Vera took hold of Kade's arm.
"Which one?" He looked to the paper handed to him.
She went on to speak about how she snuck a peak at the files and records on who they were going after. Since what she picked was a newly developed family in form of a dating pair becoming parents. Their names were Reno and Yukio with their new daughter that still hadn't been named yet.
"Make sure they don't get hold of their transformation rod or band." Vera warns him.
Not like he cared about what she had to tell him after zoning her out when they started to just walk, or noticed. When unmarked vehicle with Kairi in its passenger side sit ended up driving by them. She noticed right off the man arm in arm with nurse walking away from where she was heading. The odd thing was the nurse looked like one she seen at the at same hospital Reno's daughter was born. Caring for Yukio while she was recovering from almost six-hour labor that drained her. Not like she had time to fully look over their faces since the car she was in sped away.
"Something wrong?" Vera sensed something with Kade.
Like he was going to answer her about a Keyblade master just passing them in vehicle that zoomed passed them. Instead he just guides her around a corner where a waiting shadow portal stood. In stepped Vera shedding her nurse's disguise for her familiar purple dress and transparent wings. Where she Kade followed before the opening of the portals closed up behind them.
"You do know using these will get in trouble..." Kade had to bring that what.
"The last time I checked," Vera blew his warning off. "Only full breed shadow creatures can sense someone using their 'precious' shadow portal."
She even laughed knowing that the last of them died out with their queen when wiped out y the New Sailors. Forgetting that tow half-breeds were still alive and married t 2 royals of the Sol's royal family. Kade just walked beside her trying to drown out her loud laughing at killed off beings. As some form of a joke since she had never actually met one in her existence as a Fallen Winged.
"I wish you wouldn't speak ill of my kind," A voice arose nowhere. "Coarsely I'm lucky my sister's demonic genes aren't active."
Out from Kade's shadow walked Ackie within his demon form not pleased with what was said. About other half of his mortal blood that would always internally thirst for fear tainted life force.
"You look more like the knight looking heartless." Vera didn't fell threaten.
"Coming from someone using hex chains to control werewolf." Ackie noticed Kade's collar.
"It either that or place him with the kidnapped princess in our custody." Vera shrugged.
Ackie was to busy staring at the chain embedded in Kade's neck to care what Vera had to say. Since he lifts up his spike like limb that morphed into a talon filled hand he use to reach for the metal links. As the tips of this elongated nails came in contact with cursed piece of jewelry it seemed. To take on a slight glow that didn't stop Ackie from taking hold of the 1 of the links. Its just the automatic binding process that had the chain digging into Kade's neck didn't' kick in.
"This may hurt or even string since I'll be going to use my shadow abilities to keep you from bleeding out." Ackie warned Kade.
To see a werewolf bond to serve a Fallen Winged was one of the few things that bothered Ackie. It seemed Kade agreed with this man willing to help him any way he could if he could free him. These ribbons of shadows wrapped around each link of the chain seeping into his skin. Painlessly started to tug pieces of this chain from muscles they been sewn onto the floor under their feet.
Other ribbons kept blood from leaking from Kade's neck as Vera watched with mild interest the whole time. Stepping forward needing to interfere with this minor rescue attempt before it was to late. So she would end up summoning her black string thinking she could get the torso spirit. It just she ended up being stopped in her tracks by heated attack that melted a few of her strings.
"We like it if you stay since we have some business to speak with you ABOUT..." Someone stepped forward.
Dressed in a male that carried a golden yellow fringed vest with sky blue as the outfit's dominate color. In light blue pants that ended at his knees that split in front with ribbon belt around his waist. Upon that belt was a small buckle in the form of a flatten sphere and gold star. Matching knee length boots that were laced up completed that didn't come heels of any length. Same color choker with another star around his neck and silver crown with a sun stone rested on his forehead. As unnatural blonde hair rested on his head as he called him Sailor Taiyo, Scout of Celestial energy.
Before him was a woman wearing the traditional vest with an shimmering front bow and matching collar with 2 stripes on it with the matching shimmering skirt. As a gold star shape rest in middle of the front bow. She wore black shimmering heels on her feet with double orange choker. Her white gloves with up to her elbows with shimmering black bands as gold tiara rested on her forehead. Her shoulder length back hair was worn freely carrying a shimmering staff. As she called her self Sailor Macrocosm the Solar Sailor.
"Where did you take our children?" Macrocosm asked about missing children.
"You mean those little energy balls..." Vera couldn't help bit try not to laugh.
This got her a face full of an attack of Taiyo called Solar Blaster has his body generating sun energy and he fired a sun beam from his gloves. Right at Vera's feet to keep her from chatting her mouth off FURTHER. Before the question about missing children were repeated one more time by Macrocosm.
"The roles of Angry Princess, Pilgrimess, and Broken Heart needs to be filled by someone." Vera just stands there.
She ended up looking at her scorched stiletto eels she just had crafted from her own shed feathers. Weighting the opportunity to either battle 2 Sailors and full powered half-breed or retreating. So from her wings a transparent feather was pulled and sent forward with message tied to it. Knowing she wouldn't make it back to her mistress with materials she been sent out for.
Princess Rosetta of Beast's Castle was 16 year old brunet daughter of Belle and Prince Adam with gift for music. She had her mother's love for books and over-reactive imagination followed by her looks. The only thing she inherited from her father was his hair and eye coloring that made heads turn. Who was taken from the only home she ever known by giant wolf that scared her.
Lady Rexall and Prince Maxell were also kidnapped royals taken from their home just like Rosetta. Its just a giant wolf didn't take them during the night when everyone in castle slumbered peacefully. A man with chain around his neck wearing clothes of a palace servant approach them. Before either one of them could turn him down they were ripped from their homes like Rosetta.
"We'll ever see our families again?" Rosetta asked her cell mate.
"No, but these glass rooms are roomy in a creepy matter." Rexall tapped on the walls.
"What's with this strange writing on outside?" Maxell thought other 2 knew.
Each teen was sealed glass room that was the size coat walk-in closet that gave them a enough room to walk away. Just no privacy since the 4 walls, floor and ceiling were all transparent glass. Engraved in on every surface were words that none of these children could make out. A few of these rooms weren't filled unlike other ones that held quietly waiting spirits awaiting to be freed.
"I was looking forward to coming to this world with my parents to see the White Moon heirs." Rosetta sadly sighed.
"Same here." Rexall and Maxell spoke at the same time.
They all ended up laughing for short time before moaning of their cell next to Maxell made them stop. The first of spirits collected stood beside the door of his cell staring right at Rosetta and Rexall. Both girls tried not stared at the spirit because of steel tipped arrow protruding from its head. Maxell thought getting a shouting match with the spirit was pretty useless by now. Since if he did with speechless spirit the other spirits in their cells would start to create noise of their own.
"I hope someone comes soon." Were Maxell's last words.
END!
On to the next chapter,
