Ch. 7: Nevermore
*Looks like we clash a bit on this one, Tiger. I'm one of those "love at first sight" types that believe in fate and all that. Anyhow, this chapter has another short lemon, followed by some action, and a new character. *
Hours passed into days, as Kane spent the nights at his computer, drawing up schematics for an attack on Busuzima's labs. But with so little manpower, every scenario ended in failure. He would have long given up hope, had Sarah not been there every night at his side, cooking him food, bring him drinks when he was thirsty, and covering him with a warm blanket when he fell asleep at the computer. Kenji and Uriko tried to help, but this was his fight, his fault. After two weeks, Sarah moved into the Darkholm compound, with the consent of her parents.
One night, as dawn approached, Sarah noticed something on the official homepage of RavenTech Incorporated. She smiled broadly, and brought it to Kane's attention. He looked at her, and nodded. Both smiled and laughed.
Kane rose from his seat and kissed her, placing his hands around her and on her buttocks. He pushed her back, onto his bed, and she lay down. She giggled as Kane crawled on top of her, and she could feel the tightening coil in his pants. She obliged him by relieving the pressure and removing his pants. He returned the favor by removing her clothes with speed and control. He buried his head within her bosom, the rose slowly to her lips. A quick kiss later, he made his way downward again, resting his head in between her legs.
To Sarah Reilly, it seemed so unreal. Less than a month ago, she was lonely and miserable. Her family didn't care about her and everyone at school though she was weird. She was at her last rung when Uriko met her. Her brightness and optimism cheered her up, and then she saw him. Uriko and Kenji were talking to him, while she waited around a corner until he took his leave. She asked Uriko who he was "That's Kane," she said, "I think someone has a little crush!" She begged Uriko to introduce them for weeks, but Uriko was always up for some good-natured torment. Finally, she arranged a double date, and set her up with him. Now here she was, in the most intimate moment of her life with him. It's like her mother said, on the few occasions she was sober, you'll know when you meet the one. Her thought came to abrupt end as she screamed out in pleasure. Never before had she felt such a sensation, it felt as if she'd been rocketed into space.
When she came back to earth, Kane was hovering on top of her, gently pushing himself inside of her. With each controlled thrust she longed for more, as he didn't go all the way inside of her. She didn't just want him, she was desperate for him.
"Please, don't hold back," she groaned.
He simply grinned, and continued, going slightly deeper as Sarah's breathing quickened. Her heavy breathing turned to audible gasps into quick, sharp sobs. Finally, he quickened, letting himself go fully inside. She started to grow louder, and louder still, until her second orgasm came upon her, coinciding with his.
As she came down from her high, she crawled up into his arms, and rested her head on his chest. She rocked with his every breath, closed her eyes, and slept. He stayed awake, looking at her flawless face and stroking her black and red hair.
The sound of the doorbell rang in Kenji and Uriko's ears, as she reluctantly pulled herself from his embrace. She walked to the door, and opened it to the sight of her friends, Kane and Sarah. She invited them in.
"We found a way to get close to Busuzima's lab," Kane said after formalities. "There's a banquet being held at RavenTech Incorporated Tokyo Headquarters, Friday night. We're going."
"And how are we getting in?" Kenji asked cynically. Everyone looked at him. "Oh yeah, you're the owner's son.heh."
"I've got four reservations, my limo will be here at 4:30 Friday night. Kenji, we're gonna need you to sneak into the basement, that's where the lab will be.
"Okay." Kenji said. "Um, can I talk to you alone for a minute? Ya know, guy stuff."
Kane and Kenji made their way outside, leaving Sarah and Uriko wondering. They came back a few minutes later.
"What was that about?" Uriko asked.
"Guy stuff," the men answered in tandem.
For the next few days, they discussed what would happen and planned for every contingency. Finally, Friday night came and Kane's limo pulled up promptly at 4:30. The limo made it's way through the streets of Tokyo, to the banquet at RavenTech. Amidst the photographers and reporters, the four emerged.
Kane made his way out first, wearing a simple black jacket, with his favorite three ring choker. He reached his hand in the limo and helped his girlfriend out, who was wearing a glimmering white dress, with her hair tied into a bun. Kenji, in a simple tuxedo came out, with Uriko, in a blue, knee-high strapless dress. They made their way inside, and to the host.
"Four under 'Darkholm, K.'" he told the gentleman.
The quartet made their way to their table, but where stopped halfway there by an older man, with silver hair that reached to the small of his back. He supported himself with a ruby encrusted cane. He smiled broadly, and hugged Kane.
"Guys, this is my father," Kane said, "the president of RavenTech, Raven Darkholm."
"It's a pleasure to meet you all. And you must be Sarah?" he said taking the young woman's hand and kissing it, "my son has told me all about you. Nice to see that it's all true. And you are Kenji Ohgami? It is a pleasure. Miss Nonomura. Well I'd love to stay and chat, but I am a busy man"
And he took his leave, and they sat down at the table. Two pitchers of water were brought over, and the glasses filled. At six, the guests were seated, and the food was served. Lobster, filet mignon, and delicacies from throughout the world adorned the table. Uriko was more than happy to eat her fill, much to Kenji chagrin, while politely ate a sizable portion, and Sarah was full after a single plateful, to Kane's six.
"It's kind of unavoidable when your boyfriend's seven feet tall," Sarah joked, "I'm just glad the servants do all the shopping and cooking!"
The mood remained light, except for Kenji. The plan was for him to sneak down after the party, when everyone had left, but it was something else that unnerved him, something he wouldn't talk about. Sweat came over his brow, and several times he adjusted his collar.
"You okay, Kenji?" Uriko asked with a concerned look on her face.
"Y-Yeah I'm f-fine." he stuttered.
Uriko knew he was lying, but also knew it was hopeless to go any further. She just sighed, an eyed her desert, a piece of Strawberry Cheesecake. "I'm gonna hafta diet for a month after this," she said scarfing down the cheesecake.
After desert, Raven Darkholm stepped up to the podium to deliver a speech. "I hope you have enjoyed dinner. Please, a round of applause to the finest chefs in all the world!" he said over the microphone. "Now, down to business."
But his speech was interrupted by a scream, then panic as a man in a black jacket, with face paint and blond dreadlocks held a gun pointed at the old man's head.
"Why don't you tell them what your company has really been up to? Why don't you tell them about the Menagerie Project?" the young man said.
Dr. Busuzima rose to run, but a shot ran out through the air, blowing out his kneecap. As he writhed in pain on the ground, the man focused on Kane.
It's been a long time, hasn't it Little Brother?" he said with a smirk.
