AN- Ummmmmm..... ok I hope you don't think I'm crazy after this chapter. It's...... a bit grotesque. Actually a lot. So this has a big warning of gross and nasty stuff like rape ok. I think I was in a dark mood when I wrote this but it does give you some insite into who Kana Lamia really is and about her past. Oh and just a small language warning, people can have such a potty mouth when they are being tortured.
Chapter 13
Pain shot through her chest as her ribs began to seperate with her lungs filling with dusty air. Kana gasped and the pain increased with the sudden movement. Short breathes escaped her until she calmed down and the pain slowy subsided. Her arms were numb and her shoulders were extremly stiff. Pushing her shoulder blades together she managed to crack out the stiffness but it left her with that stinging pain again. Sighing, and wincing in pain from the sigh, Kana slowly opened her eyes. Everything was blury at first but it came into focus a few seconds later.
"Oh, shit. Oh fucking shit!" Kana looked around and found herself in a dungy old basement. More like a dungeon than any basment but she was definatly underground. The stench of mold and dusty cobwebs tickled her nose and she sneezed. Once again pain surged through her body with the sudden convulsion and chains rattled as she moved. She looked up, her neck cracking on the way there, and saw that she was chained up. Shackles were digging into her wrists making them bleed. They were holding her up high causing her the discomfort in her shoulders. The long chains went up to the ceiling, which was about nine feet high, then went through a loop and back down to each wall, where they went through another loop twice round and were each being held by a vampire. Her feet were also shackled but with a shorter chain and through one loop stuck in the ground beneath her.
"I'm glad to see you're awake. Did you sleep well?" Dalton taunted.
"I do have one suggestion." Kana said as she stretched her neck from side to side, "Cushioned shackles, to improve the comfort your lovely facility has to offer."
Dalton shook his head, "Shall we get started?"
"Whatever." She said shrugging her shoulders and then pretending that that action did not hurt.
"So where are you keeping him?"
"Keeping who?"
"You know who I'm talking about?" Dalton snarled.
"No I don't." Kana said with a sing-song voice.
"Well then where are you keeping Shinigami?"
"Shini-what?" Kana laughed.
Dalton chuckled. "I find it amusing that you joke about this."
"Well it's not like this is a very serious situation Dalton"
"I suppose you're right. We're civilzed demons here. You have some information that I want. And I'll torture you to the edge of death until you give me that information."
"I have nothing you want. Hell I don't even have the money I owe you. In fact the only thing I have for a vampire like you is my blood. My blood is like wine to vampires." she licked her lips slowly, "You remember Dalton how tasty I am."
A woman stepped out from behind Dalton. She was wearing a short dress that needed to be pulled up a few inches before her breasts popped out. "You mean the rumors about your blood is the richest blood ever are true? The magic that flows through it makes it both sweet and salty at the same time. And it's very thick yet goes down smooth. Is that all true?" She asked both Dalton and Kana while licking her lips.
"You got it. And I'd bet you'd like a try?" Kana grinned.
"Oh Dalton, could I please?"
"Not unless you want to die." He said nonchalantly.
"What can I do when I'm chained up like this Dalton? I'm completely helpless." Batting her eyes inocently, "How 'bout you and your girlfriend come and have a drink."
"Come on Dal-baby." The female vampire tugged on his wrist but he wouldn't move. He just kept his eyes on Kana. "Fine, don't come."
She walked confidently up to Kana and stood before her. Grabbing a chunk of her hair she yanked the witches head to the side. Kana kept her eyes on Dalton just as he was. When the vampire sunk her teeth into Kana's neck Kana yanked down her right arm, sending the vampire, who was holding the other end of the long chain, back agianst the wall scrambling to get a hold of the chain. Then she used the slack in the chain and wrapped it around the Vampire's neck while Kana's blood dripped out of the vampires mouth. The vamp was yanked back and Kana tugged on the chains with such force that the vampires head just popped off and she exploded into dust. Other vampires scrambled around Kana and Dalton trying to regain order and the whole time Dalton and Kana's eyes were locked onto each other.
They both smiled at the same time. "You warned her." Kana stated.
"That I did."
"Now you see why this isn't serious to me. You can't come near me. Even if I have this damn gold ring around my neck I still have my demon strength."
"That you do."
"So how do you think you're going to torture me from ten feet away?"
"I have a plan."
"What, are you going to shoot me? That's not really very creative Dalton."
"I have a different plan."
"Oh really, well I'll have you know that I've been tortured by bigger men then you. And when I mean bigger I mean it in every way." Kana said coldly.
Dalton just grinned. "Did you know I knew your father?"
Kana winced at the mention of her father but quickly covered up her discomfort. "Well that actually makes a lot of sense. I mean I always wondered if you were an asshole when you were sired or if you picked it up from someone. Since you knew my father it must be the latter."
"Yes, in fact we were good friends. Well I don't know if old demons like your father had friends but we did work a lot together. He told me many stories. Bragged about all the things he had done. He exspecialy like to talk about your mother." Kana's breath quickened as he continued. "He told me about everything. How he raped you mother, the respected witch of a community that hated him. He made his mark on her and gave her a gift. Did you know he found it absolutly hilarious that your mother couldn't look at you. All she ever saw in you was the monster that 'helped' create you."
A tear ran down Kana's cheek as she continued to look at Dalton. Her eyes begged him to stop back he kept going. "She could never love someone who had his eyes. And you do have his eyes. They are as dark and as cold as his from what I can remember. Speaking of remembering, you might have been to young to know what was going on but you being conceived wasn't the only time your father visited you mother. He saw her many times during her pregancy with you and after. It was when he got bored of her that he killed her. He told me she had become boring because she had completely given up. He enjoyed her screams of protest, it was what excited him. He almost wanted to do the same to you but figured you be more useful to him alive."
Tears were now running down her cheeks as he continued to bring back the horrible memories of her past.
"Do you remember when he found out about that little curse your mother put on you. Imagine what he went through when he found out that his very powerful daughter couldn't do magic while wearing gold. And that the villigers put a speck of gold inside her. I was with him when he slaughtered the entire villiage. My that was a good feast."
"Please stop." Kana begged.
"Oh I'm not going to stop." Dalton started to move towards her. "I haven't even given you the details of your mothers horrible experience. I remember it very well seeing as I was there to hear it all. Your father invited me over once to to show me his daughter." he was now a couple feet away from her and still coming. "You were so small. You're hair was as red as a candle flame." He was now right next to her and he lifter her chin to look her in the eyes. "do you remember?" Kana nodded as the image came to her. He cupped her chin just as he did all those years ago. Her eyes hurt from the tears and they followed him as he lifted up the arm of her shirt and put his lips to the tip of her shoulder. His fangs penitrated her soft skin and she gasped as he took a sip. Then he moved an inch down her arm and took another sip. He did this all the way down her arm and then did the same to the other. Soon Kana's arms were red with blood but she didn't seem to notice. Dalton licked the blood off his lips and stared into Kana'a eyes. "You were right, it is very good. Are you ready to tell me what I need to know now?" Kana only nodded.

The God of Death's hands squeezed shenlon's pilot's neck. Wufei grasped for air as he was lifted off his feet. He never expected Duo to take him by surprize like that and it had now cost him his life. He was no longer fighting his former comrade but the monster he had been ordered to kill. Yet seeing the once purple full of life eyes Duo posessed now black and void gave him a disturbing feeling. Just what was going on inside the young mans head must be killing him Wufei thought as the world around him became darker.
The same thing was happening as when he tried to kill Kana. Duo could see everything, could feel every movement he made. He had even felt Wufei's fear when he had grabbed him. But now the chinese man was calm and had no fear. He had accetped his fate and was ok with it. How could he be ok with dying? Duo thought to himself. As he consentrated on this his grip losened and Wufei fell to the ground. Duo shook his head. It was like he just woke up but he was exhausted. The adreneline rush he had was now gone and he felt very weak. Slowly he sat down next to Wufei who was still breathing, Duo noticed. The braided man couldn't believe he had almost killed him. Sure Wufei had the intent on killing him but Duo never thought he go so far as to kill a fellow gundam pilot. Kana had been right. His power was taking control of him and then there was that voice. It kept taunting Duo anytime his power emerged. It told him to do things he would never think of doing and this scared him.
Wufei began to stir and it brought Duo out of his thoughts. He helped his attemped murderer up smiling.
"Maxwell....?" Wufei seemed confused as to who was helping him.
"Yeah, Wu-man I'm here."
Wufei sat up and stared at Duo. "I thought you killed me."
"Now why would I do a thing like that? You are too much fun to bug."
"I'm still going to kill you. You pose a threat to the world it's my duty to see that no harm comes to this world."
"Yeah, yeah. Well if you really want another ass-kicking, be my guest." Duo paused and looked at the ground. "But I might not be able to stop myslef this time. It seems to get worse everytime I use my power."
"So you've become Shinigami before?"
"yeah, well once. It was earlier today. I kinda freaked out and almost killed this girl."
"You were fighting a women?!"
"Well, she's not just any women. Her name is Kana Lamia and-"
"Ah, then she deserved it. Whatever she did."
"Huh? You know Kana?"
"I know of her."
"Then how can you say she deserved to die when you don't even know her or what she did?" Duo became defensive suddenly.
"Because she is a monster. Monsters don't deserve to live."
"She's not a monster!"
"I see she's brainwashed you." Wufei got up steading himself on his knee. "You may have become stronger and faster but you definatly haven't improved in the brains department Maxwell."
Duo got up and shoved his nose up to Wufei's face. "You shut-up man. Kana is not a monster, you don't even know her."
"Really, do people, who are not monsters go around slaughtering innocent people? Do they join forces with the vampires and completely destroy a 2000 year old building for fun. Do they train the God of Death and then plan to hand him over to save their own ass?"
"Kana would never do anything like that!"
"Really then why is she in Paris right now striking up a contract with a powerful vampire. A vampire that she owes a great deal of money to."
"How would you know where she is?"
"Maxwell, do you really think I would attack you when Kana Lamia is around. She may be a woman but she's also a powerful demon. I knew she had a business meeting in Paris today so when you left Quatres house I followed you. If Kana didn't go to Paris I wouldn't have risked following you in case she might do the same."
Duo thought about this for a moment and then looked back up to Wufei. "So she's in Paris right now."
"Yes and probably giving away the where abouts of Shinigami to pay off her debt."
"Do you know where this Vampire lives?"
"Yes but you can't go there. If you want to stay alive and not destroy the world I suggest you get out of here as fast as you can."
"No. I'm going to go to Paris. If all you said was true about Kana then I guess I'm screwed. But I don't believe she would turn me in like that."
"Are you crazy?! You can't go, I won't let you."
"Wufei, not only are you going to let me go, you are also going to help me."
"I would never help you. You'll have to kill me before I help you."
"Well then I guess you're a dishonarable liar." Duo grinned as Wufei looked shocked.
"What?"
"You can't prove anything you said about Kana. You know what, you are the first person to say anything bad about her. Everyone else seems to think highly of her, even Trowa. You lied about everything you said and when I say prove it you back down. You are a liar! Liar!"
"And you are crazy Maxwell. I did not lie about her being in Paris. She was there and probably still is. That vampire that she owes money to lives in Paris. Even if she didn't go there to sell you out, Dalton the vampire, will have her tortured until she talks."
"Well then we have to go there, either to prove what you've said is true or to save her."
"And what happens if Dalton gets a hold of you? You'll end up destroying the world."
"I wish people would stop telling me what I'm going to do. I have no intent on destroying the world anytime soon. In fact I wouldn't mind using my powers to help out the world. You know be like a superhero."
"You are impossible Maxwell!"
"Yeah I know! So where does this Dalton guy live?"
Wufei sighed in defeat, "Come on."
"What youre coming with me."
"Well yes, even if I told you where he lives you're to stupid to figure out my directions."
"That's cause you give bad directions Wu-man!"
"Don't call me that!"
"Don't call you what Wu-man?"
"That!"
"What?"
"Ahh!!" Wufei screamed in frustration and the great Shinigami bounced around him grinning anoyingly.
