Author's Notes: Hello peoples and welcome to the fourth chapter of Shadows of Love. This will be the longest fanfiction I have ever written. –Loud cheering in the background- For all of you hardcore Dee and Ryo fans you're in luck. I've decided to take a small break from torturing them and work on establishing the identities of the evil guys. –Crowd boos and becomes violent, forcing Destiny to put arms up to shield it's face.- I really like the reviews I'm getting and thanks a ton Shinobi168 my editor and magegirl my sempai, whom threatens me never to stop writing. –Shows off the shackles on its leg- If you could send me a nail file I'd be grateful –Bows- Now, on with the story.
Somewhere in down town New York City, there stands a large building. The outside just shows it to be a normal office building complex. Inside the building the occupants were in disarray. The first project they were working on failed and usually that meant that someone would pay. Unfortunately it had to be the person who delieved the message of failure. The building they worked in was sixty stories tall and the poor man was thrown from the boss' office on the top floor. They workers there still wondered how the death was covered up considering it was in broad day light. There was a certain tensness as they continued to work, knowing that the last project that was set into motion failed. Everyone there today would avoid the upper ten floors to avoid their employer's rage.
Meanwhile, at the fifty-ninth floor, a meeting was set into motion with all of the officials that ran the corporation, including their boss. The room it was being held in was a spacious room, with windows for the walls and an elegant glass table. On the right and left side of the table, four large leather chairs resided. At the head of the table remained a single leather chair, always cast in shadow. There the boss of the corporation sat, his outline and piercing blue eyes the only characteristics outlined. To his left sat the man in the bright white suit with silvery white hair, his piercing blue eyes matching that of the boss'. To his right sat what looked like a teen with bright pink hair and deep golden eyes, adorned with a white tee shirt and simple blue jeans. Next to her sat the little girl with lavender hair and lavender eyes, wearing a deep violet sundress. All four of them sat in complete silence for several minutes before it was pierced by a low menacing growl. "Where are they?" The man sitting at the head of the table growled through clenched teeth. The man with the silvery white hair simply chuckled and leaned back into the chair. The man at the head of the table averted his gaze to the other, his eyes showing promise of pain. "What exactly do you find so amusing Bardiel?" Bardiel simply shook his head and replied in a light hearted tone. "Why your temper is dear father." He stated simply "Although I'm sure it would be much more amusing if certain people weren't present." His own gaze averting to the teen across from him.
"So what if I find execution too harsh of a punishment. If I remember correctly you owe me your life on several such occasions, so learn to keep such comments to yourself." The teen replied in a rather cold manner. "Yes mother," Bardiel grumbled, a frown adorning his face now. Another few minutes of silence passed before the man at the head of the table turned to the woman, his gaze remaining the same intimidating glare. "Kerya, where are they? You said they would be here." His voice betraying his intentions of sterness and taking a slightly softer tone with her. Kerya looked down at her watch and grumbled in annoyance.
"They told me they would be here when I last talked with them on the phone. Maybe their flight was delayed or rescheduled. Oh well, let's start the meeting anyways." The man nodded and began. "It has come to my attention once again that our newest weapon that was suppose to be delivered to use from our old location has fallen into the hands of the local authorities. We've tried bargaining with them but they seem content to keep our property for themselves. It also has been shown that not all humans are weak to their emotions. We'll be trying a new approach for our next assignment." He turned to Kerya again, his voice and eyes remaining stoic. "Kerya, you will be placed inside the precinct undercover. See if you can find out where the gem is and bring it back to us if possible. It would also benefit us to know what they plan to do with it." He then turned to the little girl next to Kerya. "Morrigan, you will once again take control of our little detective and see if you can't manipulate the other to give up the gem." Morrigan nodded "Yes father." He turned to Bardiel last "Bardiel, you will be on standby until your other siblings can learn to be on time." Bardiel simply nodded his acknowledgement. "All right then, meeting adjourned."
It was still fairly early in the day after the meeting ended. Morrigan and Bardiel had already left, leaving Kerya and the boss behind. The man sighed and shifted in his seat. Kerya has her gaze averted to the floor. "I'm sorry that the gem landed in the wrong hands." Came her soft mumbled words. The cold blue eyes turned to her and his arm reached out, showing a pale hand with long slender fingers. He took her hand in his and gave it a small squeeze. "That's all right, we should have sent more competent people to retrieve it" She sighed and released his hand, standing up from her place at the table. "Well, I need to get started on the new project before something happens and screws it up." Kerya said in a somewhat sarcastic tone. She left the meeting room silently, leaving the boss behind to contemplate what will happen.
Bardiel was waiting for word from his father in his office, trying to pass the time as best as possible. After a few minutes the phone rang, alerting him to a possible important call. "Hello?" He wasn't entirely sure as to who else would be calling him aside from the head of the family. "Where the fuck are you guys, you're incredibly late and in deep shit as well." On the other side of the line were the siblings missing from the meeting, having just arrived from their vacation. "He doesn't care if you were on your goddamned honeymoon or not, if you step out of line he'll beat you senseless and Kerya won't be able to stop him because she'll probably encourage it." Bardiel smirked as he heard the worried voice from the other line try to make up a decent excuse for being late. "Just get here as soon as possible and maybe, just maybe Kerya will save your sorry asses." Bardiel hung up and sighed, picking the phone back up and hitting the speed dial button. "Father? Dart and Rain have returned to New York and are on their way." He hung up on him before he heard any threats towards his life. He picked the receiver up again and dialed once more.
"Hello? Mother? Yes, they're here and you might be needed in the conference room to spare their lives." He heaved a sigh again as he heard his mother's annoyed voice complain about why they couldn't be more obedient.
"Alright, alright, I'll talk to them." He hung up again before he heard more complaining and then banged his head against the desk lightly. "It's just one of those days today..." He sighed and got up from his desk, walking out and towards the elevator to the conference room before his father could summon him.
It was when Bardiel reached the conference room that he noticed something odd. Outside stood his brother Dart, a pale slim man with raven dark hair and the same eyes that almost all of the males in his family inherited. Next to him was his sister-in-law Rain, a pale, slim woman, with raven hair and green eyes, dressed in a silk red tunic and red pants. The one missing from the group was Kerya, their mother. "Where's she? We sure as hell can't go in and expect to come out alive without her" Dart just grumbled while Rain started to giggle.
"She was here a minute ago and talked to father, unfortunately they a little bit of an argument and she sorta... left.." Bardiel just stared at her ashen faced while Dart kicked the glass doors of the conference room.
