Dark Fairies

She was a beauty, a hidden one, but a beauty nonetheless, and a fighter. She was certainly a quick learner, he discovered that the moment he'd taken her from the street as she dismounted her bike and started walking to what he thought might be her apartment building. It was a pity that she was this young, out and alone so late at night. Briefly he had thought to give her to the Boss, but there was something about her that he just couldn't part with.

Call it spark, spunk, whatever, it was there and he wanted to keep her to himself. With the right training, she would be perfection. Well, perfection after he got rid of those troublesome memories of hers, her Sho-chan and thoughts of fairies. Not too terribly difficult with the right procedures and drugs. He'd already begun the process of administering the medication, and replacing those troublesome thoughts. It wouldn't be too long until the process was complete and she would be completely convinced that she was his or an empty shell waiting to be filled with new information.

"You seem distracted. Something happen between you and your roommate?" Aki Shoko asked her charge as he fidgeted in deep thought.

He sighed out distractedly. "I'm not sure. She hasn't been home in a couple of weeks." He confessed a little worried.

Aki's eyes went wide. "Are you sure she didn't go back to Kyoto like you wanted?"

He shook his head. "She left all of her stuff. I thought I had just missed her and she was at work, but I've been staying at my place for the past week, as you know. She hasn't shown up... I'm starting to worry Shoko-san. Kyoko's not like that. She never missed a day of work or school. It's just not in her nature." He confessed.

"Sho? Did you call the police? Report her missing?" She asked worriedly.

He nodded. "I did, but since I'm not family and we're living on our own here in Tokyo, they won't do anything about it. They say she ran away once with me, she probably did again without me." He almost whined the last part.

"You need to call your parents and tell them. They'll be able to get something started. You did say they were her legal guardians, right?" She told him.

Absolute perfection. Those were the only words that came to the young man's mind after he'd been with her for a year, as he watched his partner and protégé navigate the ballroom of the exclusive party they were infiltrating. She cleaned up quite nicely and she was quite eye-catching with her long silken hair and perfectly toned body. She'd decided to go blonde for the evening and he couldn't agree more in her choice. The dress she picked was a simple little black silk number that fell over her body like water and hugged all of her perfect athletic curves. Who would think that those perfectly toned little muscles could snap a neck or break a few ribs without hesitation?

He caught her glance, raised his martini and smirked. He stood from the bar and crossed the room to his little vixen, casually approaching to make it look like they were meeting for the first time. "So, what's a beautiful girl like you doing in a place like this?" He murmured smoothly in her ear.

She glanced at him and took a sip of her champagne. "Charity work." She smirked sexily and brushed her hair back, letting him catch a scent of the expensive perfume he'd bought for her. Mixed with her own scent, it clouded his mind.

He chuckled. "Charity... Hmm, which one would that be?"

She giggled. "The Robert Loxley Charity for the less fortunate."

He snorted a little and almost choked on his drink. "My Love, you certainly have quite an imagination." He whispered so only she could hear. He took her drink and sat both of theirs on a nearby table. "May I have this dance?" He asked smoothly.

She smiled and nodded. "Of course."

As the music played and they spun around the room gracefully, they discussed their planned activities for later in the evening.

"The money for the raffle is kept in room 202. I heard that they've only got one guard. I can take care of that." She murmured into his neck, sending shivers down his spine.

He nodded. "The jewelry they're using for display tonight are the authentic pieces. All the lights and the security system are on the same circuit. Not very responsible if you ask me." His lips brushed her ear, causing her to lightly blush.

"Plan A?" She glanced up and he lightly kissed her sweet lips before nodding.

"Kyoko-chan? Be careful." He murmured.

She snuggled into him and nodded. "You too Kuon..."

Later that evening one would find two thieves happily celebrating their heist and bathing in their ill gotten booty as they indulged each other in the pleasures of the flesh.
