Chapter 3: The Meeting

Raye looked up when she saw Lita walking up the stairs from the corner of her left eye. Raye could see that Lita was ready for the party they were going to by just looking at her. She wore all black. Tight, black pants that looked like leather adorned her long legs, while a tank top, that had only one strap, hung on tight to her upper body. On the edges of shirt were diamond studs that sparkle beautifully as she moved. Her long, brown hair fell off her shoulders like silk chocolate waterfall. For the first time, Raye saw that the brunette wore make up. It wasn't heavy but light. It brought out her best features more. In all, she looked exotically beautiful.

The raven-haired priestess sighed. The look of slight shock on her face disappeared as she smiled. Lita was a beautiful woman, not only does she have the looks but she had the courage most girls don't have and only dream of. She was intelligent, strong, kind and more. The man that she will marry will be a lucky one. Raye's smile broadens when Lita was finally standing next to her. "You made it."

"Of course," Lita replied with a smirk. "had any doubts?"

Raye giggled. "Naw, I knew you wouldn't let us down." She said as she grinned.

Lita's eyes were closed as she laughed. She opened them and stared at Raye. The ebony black haired woman was dressed in a red leather mini skirt that allowed her viewers to glance at her long, firm, shapely legs. A black blouse with no buttons adorned her upper body. It was loose around her chest and tight around her stomach. The long sleeves had slits on them, exposing her arms, and were tide to the wrist. "So, where's Mina?" Lita asked as she finished looking Raye over. She had to admit it; she was gorgeous and ready to have fun. 'But hey, this is Raye we are talking about.' She thought.

"Right here," A very familiar voice spoke, and the two women turned to see the blonde walk up the last stair to the temple and smiled. She wore a short, black skirt that had a small slit on her right side. For the top, she chose to wear was a snug one. A low cut tank top that showed her belly button. On top of that she for a black leather coat. "shall we go?" She asked them while a smirk grew on her face.

Schuldich whistled as he held the keys to his car in his hands, throwing it up in the air catching it over and over again, in a pleasant manner. Dressed to impress the man looked at himself over again in the mirror and smiled in satisfaction. Grinning, he opened the door to his room and walked out still whistling.

"Where are you going?" A voice suddenly spoke when he passed the sofa in their living room.

Turning around, Schuldich stopped whistling and grinned at his leader, who was facing away from him. He simply brushed his hair back with his hands and turned away. "I'm doing what you told me to do." He spoke with a cool voice as he began to walk away.

"I told you to get the girl, nothing else." Crawford said seriously before Schuldich could walk out.

"I'm surely entitled to have fun Bradly." He spoke with a carefree voice.

At hearing him, Brad scowl even heavier, the grin stayed on the red-head's face as he paused by the now open door, "Eh, I take joy in knowing I annoy you." He laughed as he closed the door behind him.

'Alright, no need to get your undies in a twist, I'll take care of it.' He said as he was in Crawford's mind.

Schuldich parked his car quickly when he had arrived to the party. Schuldich didn't get out of his car immediately, instead he took out the picture that held his target and studied her once more. If he were lucky he would find her here. Grinning to himself, he got out of the car with a certain elegance that caught some girls' attentions. Looking, at them he smiled. 'Oh yes. I'm entitled to have fun Bradly.' He thought again.

Sitting on a table Schuldich had his attention towards the dance floor. A grin played on his lips as he watched a beautiful woman dancing with others around her. He knew he was suppose to be getting this woman over to his 'boss' but something stopped him. As if just watching her was perfect for him. He had lost track of time the minute he had seen her talking to a group of people before heading to the dance floor.

He could tell that this woman was a spirited one, but one thing confused him. He couldn't get into her mind. It was as if she was blocking everyone from her secret. What secret was that? He knew if he didn't get enough information on her or have her with him Crawford would kill him. But then again when did he start caring?

'Schul do you see the girl?' The voice of Nagi was clearly heard in the red head's mind, obviously distracting him from his thoughts.

'Yea, I see her.' He replied.

'Hurry and bring her here Schul before you lose her. Craw...'

'Don't worry I'll bring her.' Schuldich quickly cut in not really wanting to hear about what Crawford wanted. He was doing his part of the job that was good enough for him. 'Nagi did you find anything on those girls?'

'Yes,' came a short reply. 'Hurry and get back and we'll discuss it.'

'Alright.' Schuldich spoke before he cut off the link with Nagi. He turned back his attention back at the woman to see her talking to an ebony-black hair beauty. He watched as they exchanged words before the tall one began to walk away. 'Looks like she's leaving.' He thought as he watch her pull out a cell phone and a piece of paper as she leaned on the counter in front of him. He stood up and walked up to the counter pretending to be interested at something else as he watched her covertly.

Meanwhile, Lita looked up for the tenth time. She felt eyes on her but she didn't know from whom. She had felt them on her since an hour's time. She pretended that it wasn't bothering her and continued to dance with her friends and other people she had been introduced to by Mina. It was amazing to know how many people her blonde friend new. She herself couldn't compete. Then again she wasn't really one to go up to someone and say hi. She looked up to Mina for that. The blonde could make any kind of friends. All one needed to do was put her in someplace like a mall and she would hit it off like that.

A feeling washed over her. Like someone was watching her. Still dancing, she looked up again warily. She sighed frustrated. She couldn't see anyone. 'Who the hell is it?' She asked herself as she scanned the place furtively. Suddenly the feeling was gone. Taking the opportunity she sought out Raye. She found the raven-haired priestess dancing with a group of people she said that were classmates and pulled her aside.

Raye looked at Lita concerned as she felt different emotions running through her friend. "Lita what is it?" She asked in a whisper as she looked up at her.

"Raye you may think I'm weird but I feel someone watching me." She replied. "But I can see who it is."

Raye nodded as she listened to her friend explain when she started feeling the eyes on her. "Do you want to go home? I can get Mina..."

"No that's ok. You two stay. I can get someone to pick me up." She spoke before she turned serious. "Raye be careful."

The priestess nodded before she hugged her tall friend. "You too Lita. When I get home I'll call you to see it you made it safe ok? Stay away from Isolation ok? I'll tell Mina that you went home."

"I will Raye and I'll talk to you later. Gather everyone up tomorrow morning around ten and we'll start training." She spoke in a whisper so no one would hear. "I'll see you later. Bye Raye."

"Bye."

The Brunette walked up to a counter as she took out her phone and a piece of paper. As she dialed the number she felt someone coming to her. Fear and panic struck her but she refused to allow them to surface for everyone to see. From the corner of her eyes she saw a man settle down by her side and watch people around him. Sigh in relief she focused on the call. 'It was nothing. I need to calm down.' She told her self.

"Hello, Youji speaking." A clear and familiar voice spoke.

Lita smiled to herself before she began to talk oblivious from the man next to her. "Youji-kun it's me Lita." When she heard him chuckle she felt her self blush.

Schuldich immediately frowned when he heard the name of his enemy escape the lips of his target. Out of all the people to call why the hell was she calling him?

"Well, looks like beautiful decided to call me." He's flirtatious voice rang. "So what can I do for you?"

"Youji-kun." Lita began. She was starting to feel uncomfortable being next to the man on her left. He was throwing something off. Something she didn't like.

Sensing her uneasiness, Youji lost his smile and frowned worriedly. "Lita are you alright?"

"Youji, can you please pick me up? I'm at this party down town..."

"I know what you're talking about. I'll be right there Lita and don't talk to anyone." Youji warned before he hung up.

Lita sighed as she off her Cell and placed it in her purse before turning around. She spotted Mina who was looking at her worriedly. She guessed Raye had told her. She nodded at her telling her that she was leaving. Mina nodded. Grabbing her back, Mako began to walk outside.

Raye watched as a redhead walk out of the room a few minutes after Lita did and her violet eyes narrowed.

~*~

Lita made sure she had stayed near a group of people as she waited for Youji to come and get her. She still felt eyes on her as she waited. 'Who the hell is this person?' She asked herself as she looked around her. 'What does he or she wants?' She slowly walked away from the building thinking she would get away from the eyes that watched her.

A she saw Youji's car coming into view. She saw her brother, Youji, and Omi. She raised her hand up to get their attention and as she did, someone from the back grabbed her roughly. She had only a second to scream before a cloth covered her mouth. As she breathed in an aroma from the cloth she began to feel light headed.

Before Lita blacked out, she heard the alarmed voices of her friends' Mina and Raye. As well as, her brother's, Omi's and Youji's voices.
