Author's Ramble: Hello Seto fans..
Chapter.. 5
I opened my eyes. I smiled. Jade was still sound asleep, one wrist still handcuffed to the bed. I smiled wider. Not a single moment from last night left my mind. I kept it in a special place. Jade opened one eye.
"Good morning Seto..." She whispered. She looked at the handcuffs that bound her wrist. She frowned.
"Where's the key?" She asked. I shrugged and smirked evilly. Jade growled.
"Where is it Seto? I've got things to do and the last thing I wanna say to my boss is 'sorry I was handcuffed to my lover's bed.' Uh-uh." She snapped. I held the key in my hand and let her see it. Jade sighed.
"Don't tease me. You have no idea who you're dealing with."
"Don't I? Hmmm, I think I deserve the rest of Exodia for this."
"Seto.."
"Jade?"
"Lemme out!" She hissed. I complied and she quickly hopped out of bed and marched right into the showers. I followed her.
"Mind if I join you?" I asked. It didn't matter what her answer was; I was going to join her anyway. Jade raised an eyebrow.
"I've created a monster. Seto, you're being sexy.stop." I paused while washing my hair. I blinked and my breath caught in my throat as I watched Jade, water running down her body, soap.. I rinsed my hair quickly.
Jade and I spent about an hour getting dressed. Jade watched as I pulled on my jacket.
"I can't believe this. It's almost 9." She hissed looking at her watch. Today she wore all black. I found a black motorcycle waiting for her. She left in a hurry saying she'd be back later this afternoon.
Afternoon came as did Jade. She looked exhausted which was unlike her. Mokuba pounced on her. Jade gave him a weak smile and collapsed to the floor. It was then I noticed the blood that soaked the side of her white shirt.
I remember Jade telling me she wasn't unkillable but as I cleansed the gruesome wound I began to doubt that. I surely would of died from a hole this big. I could practically see inside her body. Jade slept soundly in my room and after I bandaged her, I left her to sleep on. I joined Mokuba in the living room to watch TV. I snagged the remote before he could and changed to the news. He's certainly got stock, ne?
I stared in shock at what the anchor was saying.
"..assassin Jodasi was seen robbing wealthy businessman Mr. Yakimoto in Tokyo earlier this morning. She attempted to take his life but was stopped when she was stabbed several times in the side. The woman immediately dispatched the guard responsible for her injuries and she retreated. She is said to be hiding out in Domino City although reports have yet to have been confirmed.." I missed everything she said after that. Jade's form, like some death shadow, was on the screen. Her hair was black and she wore a traditional Japanese nomask depicting a demon's face. I felt confused. There were questions I needed to ask her.
I walked into my room. Jade was gone. I knew she had not completely left the grounds yet. I put up my hands.
"So you're not a company owner?" I hissed, "You're just a very deadly assassin and I was your next victim right?" I heard the sound of a gun being cocked.
"You're very clever Seto. It wasn't by my choice to pick the victim. My employer specifically asked me to kill you. But when I refused, he made it VERY personal."
"But I thought cold hearted assassins didn't have any feelings." I shot back.
"I thought you didn't have any feelings either but she laughed at this point that's not what you told me last night." I swear I felt my face grow hot. Jade moved to face me.
"I was going to kill you as soon as we met but like I said, I was quite taken with you."
"Tell me Jodasi," I sneered, "how did your employer manage to break your stride?" Jade narrowed her eyes.
"If I told you you'd probably never believe me."
"Try me. After all, I'm not going anywhere anytime soon."
"Do you know who my employer is Kaiba? Maximillian Pegasus." I stopped joking around in an instant. If she worked for Pegasus, she was definitely out on a mission to get me.
"I see you remember him. Yes, he hires only the best assassins to do his work. Now, about how he made it personal..hmmmm. Think Seto, how old did you think I was when we first met?"
"I don't know. Maybe about my age. Just get to the point already!"
"Your age? Ha! You young people! Seto I will be I believe, by my birthday this year, 452 years old."
Eep.
"I told you I wasn't human. And get this, I have two children. They mean worlds to me and he has taken their souls. I am willing to do anything to get them back and if it means ending your life at the miserable age of fifteen, so be it."
"But you never showed any pain. No signs at all that you intended to kill me." Jade rolled her eyes.
"I was trained that way. The only reason I do freelance assassinations is because I lost my job. You know why? My children. But the only thing that's stopping me from ending your life is Mokuba."
