Notes: WARNING! Slashy yaoi homosexual content stuffs here! If it offends you, go away. It's not my fault if you read it and get grossed out. That and strong language. This has words only for the people who are not offended by mere sounds. This chapter also contains sex, and not ONLY that, but rape. If you don't like a dragon taking advantage of someone while they scream in pain, turn back now.

Dragons don't kiss, silly! They don't have lips! I tried to think of Shendu as a dragon here, not a human. Lots of animals show affection by licking, right? Hmm, did I do a good job? Feedback is always very welcome.

"Let me out, Damn it! You ugly bastard, let me out!" Viper demanded, banging on the cage door. "Silence, you perpetual annoyance!" Shendu growled at her. She had been howling incessantly since they had taken her. They were in the room Shendu kept for himself, a sort of study. They were the only two there. The old man was held elsewhere while Valmont and his moronic lackeys were eating and watching him. Shendu decided it was about time the girl was watched by the lackeys as well. "I don't FEEL like shutting up! I FEEL like being released!" She ranted, making the cage shake. Shendu glared knives at her. He had a different idea of what to do with her. " You must learn just who is in charge. I'm afraid I will have to teach you to obey orders." He got down off his perch on a chair and trotted over to the cage. He stood on two feet, making sure to stand and hold his neck up, to impress his might onto her. Viper was quiet when she realized he was opening the door. But he wasn't letting her out; he was coming in. The small jail was too cramped for her to slip out beside him, and she had no where to go but back. So she backed up against the far wall, starting to tremble in fear. Shendu smiled as his prisoner cowered in fear. This was all too well a day. Viper sized up the beast. He was maybe 7 foot at the crest of his head, not counting the horns that stood a good foot and a half above him. His scales were all a golden-bronze, and the ones along his back were sharp and pointed outwards. His body was slinky, like a cat's, while his hands were in roughly the shape of a human's. He was wearing some sort of blue and white loincloth thingy. She didn't know what to call it. And, his eyes. His eyes were a bright, glowing red. They looked upon her with their malicious intentions and evil in all its essence seemed to be emanating from them. Viper squeaked feebly as Shendu grabbed her with his hands and pushed her against the bars of her prison. He pressed his long body against hers. She could feel every deep, warm breath that came from his nostrils on her neck and chest, and the smell of burning fire hinted at her nose. What was the demon planning to do? How was he planning to torture her?

"Jackie! You CAN'T give yourself up!" "Jade, I do not plan on staying very long." "But cant you just think up some rescue plan instead?" "This is my rescue plan." "But what if they KILL you???" Jackie turned around to the distressed eleven-year-old. "Jade, I will be just fine. I can take care of myself. I have to save Viper and Uncle, and I think I can do that. You got to trust me here." Jade looked at him with concern, "I know, you can take the enforcers, you're the JACKINATOR! I have a bad feeling about this. They're not going to make you an easy get away! What if you don't come back?" Jackie put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "I'm coming back, Jade." Jade paused. "I'm coming too!" She said, putting her hand into a determined fist in front of her. "Jaade. No. This is too dangerous. You stay here with Tohru, do your homework. After all it's a school night." Jade huffed in frustration, "Grr. Okay." A hand ruffled her hair while she pouted before it's owner stood up and prepared to leave. "Chah!" she said under her breath, "Like I'm really going to let him do this alone."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------

The full, white moon hung high in the sky, casting its ominous shadows across the bay. Jackie squeezed himself tighter into his jacket and buried his hands in the pockets. The warm breath from his mouth formed into white crystals before him before dissipating into the thin, cold air. "Ah, Chan, how nice of you to join us!" The raspy voice of Shendu said. Jackie looked straight into Valmont's face from across the dock. The eerie glow of Shendu's eyes shone lightly tingeing Valmont's peach flesh and white hair with their red. "Where are Viper and Uncle??" Shendu/Valmont stepped back and swept a hand in gesture to six forms. Behind him stood four enforcers, features undesernable in the pale moonlight. With them, two figures in shackles, one a robust young woman, and the other a gray haired old man, hunched in the shoulders. Both were nervously stiff, and clouded in the same dark as everyone else on the old dock. "A simple exchange. The old man and woman go free, we get, well, you, Mr. Chan. Is it a deal?" Jackie regarded the demon with distrust. Nothing the sorcerer said could be trusted. He was right in reacting so, for at that moment, Shendu planned on the deaths of all three humans happening that night. He smirked in the cold night, enjoying himself and the great week he was having. "Well, Chan. What will it be? Your friend and dear uncle, or you?" "Jackie, don't!" Uncle said then was silenced with a jerk and harsh words from the enforcer who was to the right of him. This was Finn, but it was hard to tell from Jackie's view. The Asian man gritted his teeth and stepped forward. "Very well." He took his hands out of the pockets to show he was not hiding anything. Shendu's smile widened. "A wise choice, my friend." Shadowkhan, as dark as the night it's self, came out from who-knows-where and took Chan by the arms. He didn't resist. "Now, let them go!" Excitement and giddy glee filled the every of Shendu. Almost laughing, he said, "As you wish!" At his coded command, the enforcers promptly threw the two detainees into the freezing waters. Bound about the arms and legs, they would be unable to swim to safety. Jackie heard them scream as they plunged, and heard their screams stop abruptly as they entered the deep bay. "Nooo!" Jackie, filled with fear and rage, knocked down the shadowkhan holding him with blows to the head. He ran for the water's edge, but was stopped by more. Doing what he could, he threw what more shadowkhan came forward off the dock, while more filed foreword to take their place. "Uncle! Viper!" He screamed, blue hands holding him back from the bay. A water-muffled call of "Jackie" responded him, desperately. Shendu's cruel laughs rang in his mind, fueling him to fight the khan who were holding him back. Finally, the shadowy ninjas pinned him down, yelling. Shendu stepped towards Jackie and began to pace, mocking the man, gloating of his freedom. "Ah, it's such a fine night out. Don't you agree Chan? The moon is full, a nice breeze ruffles your hair... " A pallid hand ruffed up Jackie's hair, but there was little he could do about it besides glare. "A perfect night for a funeral. I think we'll have three. But not just yet." At the snap of his fingers, two shadowkhan appeared, carrying some sort of shackles; the same that imprisoned the two underneath the calm, cool waters. Jackie was pulled over and locked up in the restraints, legs and hands bound. They incited a familiar feeling from what seemed to be a terribly long time ago. Only, this time, things may not work out just the same. He was lifted by the khan. Dragged to his feet, Jackie felt slightly less trapped. Looking around, he saw that some of the khan had left him; only four personal guards surrounded him now. "Come along." Shendu said, waving a lazy hand at the enforcers. The four men and just as many khan followed their master, taking one unwilling party with them.

Jade watched from underneath the dock.
