The Death Of A Shadow
Kai opened the door to is quarters and froze . There she stood , a towel clinging loosely to her wet body , she had obviously just stepped out of the shower , she was humming quietly , and was towelling her hair dry .
His mouth seemed to run dry at the mere sight of her , he closed the door behind him with a snap . Aruna turned sharply to see him standing there , so absorbed in the wonderful sight of her near naked body that he didn't seem to see her navy eyes staring at him .
She turned to face him fully , she didn't know how to act around him now , the bruise on her cheek was still there , but it wasn't as bad as it had been .
"Kai ," She started .He silenced her with a look , hazed with passion . He walked over to her and captured her mouth in his , ravaging it for all he had .
Aruna was so surprised that at first she didn't respond at first , but as soon as she realised what was happening , she leaned into him , deepening the kiss .
When they parted , her body was trembling from the sheer force of the encounter , she looked up at him , and opened her mouth to speak . he didn't let her , instead he lowered her to the bed , and quickly discarding the towel .
She looked up at him. His eyes staring into hers as if awaiting her permission , she knew as much as he did that things were different now, now that he knew what she had done. The question was , if she forgave herself. She gave him her consent by closing her eyes and leaning her head back , exposing the slim column of her neck , where he swiftly placed him mouth .
He threw off his pants and shirt , as well as his scarf , and fell into the passionate routine they had formulated .
"Tala is coming here ." He spoke , his voice husky and low as he made love to her .
She took a moment to form her words around the intense waves of pleasure shooting through her . But at the same time she was cold with fear at the very mention of the man's name .
"Why ?" She breathed , her voice close to a moan .
"Because ," he grunted , but was interrupted by her groan as she climaxed , and he swiftly followed her example . He collapsed on top of her panting . " I am going to kill him ." He hissed. He rolled off her , and managed to climb out of bed. He looked at her , she was still shaking slightly from the power of her orgasm . God she was so incredibly beautiful .
"Don't worry , you just need to stay out of the way ." he said , slowly getting dressed in a smart , expensive looking Tux, but suddenly he found that very hard as her hands reached out and started massaging his back muscles skilfully. He moaned lightly , almost giving into her desperate plea for more sex , but he managed to move away from her and pull on a jacket .
"Later . He is coming now , and I need to be ready ." he told her . "I am going to eliminate The Shadow for good ." He said. She looked at him surprised.
"Kai , I thought you forgave me ." She breathed , her heart thumping painfully hard against her chest .
"I do . Don't worry , no harm is going to come to you Aruna , you are going to have to wait and see what I do to Tala .....Mrs.Hiwirtari ." he said .
She blinked her navy eyes once , and watched him as he walked out of the room , shutting the steel door behind him .

Tala was pushed down into the chair in the conference room by Tyson's hand on his shoulder. He didn't like Tyson, he was too cocky and irritating, not to mention he once beat him at beyblading. He looked at him and Max uneasily , he had been headed back to his club when the two had run after him and told him that his presence was requested at the SubRitz .
"Well , what's this about then boys ?" He asked , trying to sound calm and at ease .
Tyson smirked at him .
"The Boss man wants to see you , that's all ."
"Kai ?" Asked Tala. Damn ! Why was that bastard still alive , he growled quietly , he would have to punish Aruna. Perhaps he was dead and Ray had taken over , and now he was the Boss Man , as Tyson put it.
Tala hoped that was the case anyway.
"Tyson , Max , you two can leave ." Tala heard him before he saw him , his heart sank , it was Kai , and he was very much alive .
He heard the door close behind Max and Tyson , Kai came and leaned on the table next to where he was sitting , just staring at him . Then he got out a gun , he took it apart , ensuring that every individual piece was spotless , before he reassembled it , loaded it , and laid it on the table All the time, without a word.
"You wanted to see me Kai ?" Asked Tala , keeping his voice as steady as he could, breaking the silence.
Kai nodded . "Yes Tala , I want you to tell me everything you know about a certain person ." He said .
"And who might that be ?" Asked Tala .
"Aruna Sezukie ." Said Kai , a sense of satisfaction spread through him as he saw Tala's face pale .
The red haired man swallowed , hard. He was dead , Kai knew. He made a sudden break for the door , which was locked , but he struggled with it wildly .
Kai slowly picked up the gun , and aimed it , a cruel smile graced his lips as he fired .
Tala cried out , he collapsed , clutching his left leg . Blood pumped out of the bullet wound in his shin , he cried out in agony , choking back a sob of pain .
"You Bastard !!" He hissed through the haze of hurt that clouded around him . He could feel consciousness slipping from his grip .
Kai came and knelt before him , smirking .
"Something you should keep in mind Tala , I am Kai Hiwitari , you don't stand a snowball's chance in Hell of getting rid of me , especially now."
"Y-Your going to let her off ?!?" Breathed Tala . "Tell me your going to kill that bitch !"
Kai snarled and punched his gut , Tala groaned and coughed up a mixture of blood and mucus .
"That bitch , is my wife. My property! Mine! I am going to make you sorry you even thought about touching her ."
Tala managed a weak smirk back .
"Heh , well , she seemed willing enough. She probably hasn't told you how I fucked her like a dog." He said , which of course was a lie , "She'll never be satisfied with you , my old friend , not after she has been with me , a real man !"
Kai scowled , refusing to believe that Aruna would have slept with him . He raised the gun , slamming into the side of Tala's head , knocking him out in an instant .
He called Max and Tyson , and told them to dress Tala in Aruna's dark blue cat suit and lock him up in the padded room .
He stalked down to his room , he found it empty , he snarled angrily and went in search of her .
He found her sitting on the stage , a pint of beer clutched in her hand , which she was downing at a rapid rate , her hair was still damp , and she wore a long black silk dress with a slit up to it's thigh .
"I just met with Tala ." he said , his voice slightly strained , she can't have slept with him . "What he had to say was very enlightening ."
"Really ?" she murmured , taking another swig of beer .
"yes ." he hissed , his voice low .
She looked at him .
"Is something wrong , Mr.Hiwirari ?" She asked with a coy smile .
"he told me , you don't need to pretend that you didn't shag him ." he said bitterly .
"What ?!?" she yelled , standing up . "Kai , you can't really believe that ! I wouldn't degrade myself that much !"
"Stop lying !" He yelled back .
"Kai ," She said , coming up to him , and placing her pale hand on his cheek , "Why would I lie , now ? After last night , I am never going to lie to you again. Do you really trust Tala's word more than mine ?" she asked .
Kai felt the cool metal of the ring he had given her pressing against his flesh . He sighed , she was right , Tala was the one lying , yet again . He looked at her , those navy eyes , he had never noticed before , how incredibly stunning they were . He leaned forward and kissed her , the desire he had for her ignited once again .
Aruna pulled him down onto the wooden floor of the stage , and smiled up at him . He was so young , early twenties , no more than twenty one, and already he held so much in the palm of his hand , he was rich , handsome and an important political figure . She herself was only twenty two , and her relatively short life , she had managed to get herself the reputation of the best assassin on hire .
She still didn't understand what Kai had meant when he had said that he was going to "eliminate the shadow for good" but what ever it was that he was planning , she trusted it . she sighed and closed her eyes as she felt his mouth leave a hot trail of kisses down her slim neck .
She looked at him when she felt them stop .
"Something wrong ?" she asked .
He was smiling , actually smiling .
"We're really going to fuck on a stage ?" She asked him .
He sighed , his smile fading .
"No , we can't , I have to get ready for tonight , so do you . I want you to wear you best clothes tonight ." he told her. She nodded .
"But does that mean I'm not allowed my fun now ?" She asked , giving him her best puppy eyed look . It took all of his will power to pull away and stand up .
"Go and get ready , The SubRitz opens in four hours time ." He said , stalking away. She propped herself up on her elbows and watched him , what a magnificent man .
*It's a shame that I will only have him for a little while longer ...*
:: What do you mean Mistress ?:: Asked Scarlath .
*You know what I mean , you know the motto of The Shadow . I either complete a job , or I die trying .*
:: But Mistress , you can really still want to kill him ?:: Asked her bitbeast , appalled .
*No , but how can I stay with him after what I tried to do to him ? I just can't do it Scar *
:: I understand Mistress , but he has forgiven you , you could leave it behind you ::
*No I can't*
Scarlath fell silent , and didn't mention to his mistress , about the two tiny forms of life brewing in her belly that would inevitably die with her .
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_
Kai growled and looked at his watch , the club had opened an hour ago , where was she ? She had gone back to her apartment to get ready , and get dressed into her best clothes . Kai was getting really impatient .
He had desperately wanted to take her on the stage where the brass band where now playing and girls dancing around poles . He sighed , she was so perfect , he wanted to be tied to her . Max came up to him .
"Tala is ready whenever you are Kai ." he said . Kai nodded , he didn't want to start until Aruna arrived .
A drunken man had gotten into a fight , and after a heavy punch was landed across his jaw he was sent sprawling across Kai's table , spilling Kai's martini . The Mafia leader snarled , and nodded to Ray , who he had managed to pry away from his wife and son .
Ray hauled the man up by his collar and punched him away from the table , then repeated the process on the one who had punched the drunk . People get the message that Kai was in an unpredictable mood , so they steered clear of his table .
A blonde woman, no more than 19 was coming towards his table, she had a large, irritating smile on her face, she sat down next to him, without even bothering to ask.
"Big-K ! Oh my God! I can't believe its really you! My name is Katrina, I'm from Zone 1 !" She said, her huge smile still in place.
Kai merely grunted and turned his gaze towards the door, looking for Aruna.
"You know Big-K," She said, suddenly placing her hand over his, "I've ALWAYS wanted to meet you, your so much more handsome that everyone says."
He tugged his hand away.
"Get away from me ." He growled, this woman was irritating beyond measures.
"Oh cummon Kai, you can't have not seen how great my body is, I'll shag you for free." She said, standing up and sitting on his lap.
Kai glared at her, disgusted by her, he was about to throw her out personally, when suddenly the girl screamed in agony and was pulled off him. He glanced up to see Aruna wearing an icy look and holding the blond by her hair.
She tossed the younger woman to the ground, bent down and kissed Kai full on the lips.
The woman glared at the two, before standing up and stalking away.
"Sorry I'm late, but you did say my best clothes ." he heard her say in his ear . He looked at her , she really did look gorgeous .
She wore a long white dress , it trailed along the floor slightly and had a slit up the side , she wore matching gloves that came above her elbows and her hair was braided up into an elegant knot on top of her head , wisps falling around her porcelain face , framing it perfectly. The back of the dress was held together by delicate white strings that criss-crossed over her spine . The dress was plain but so exquisite that the vision of her standing there took Kai's breath away .
He noticed that several men were eyeing her up hungrily. He growled , and told her to sit down .
"Hey luv ." Yelled one man , "That chair looks a bit soft, I've got something a lot harder you can sit on over here !" He said gesturing towards his lap .
Kai snarled and drew his gun out , but before he could Aruna had lifted her dress and pulled out a gun attached to her thigh with delicate lace , pulled the trigger and killed the man before anything else could be done .
Kai blinked , and nodded to Ray to clear the body , he looked at Aruna , who smirked back .
"I can't stand men like that ." she said .
The band which had stopped at the sound of the shot , started up again with a nod from Kai , people now didn't just steer clear of his table , no one dared to even look their way .
"What are you going to do with Tala ?" She whispered to him .
"You'll have to find out woman , for now you can go and tell the brass band to shut up , and wait for me on stage ." he said .
Aruna was puzzled but she did as he said anyway , she got up, punching anyone who reached out to smack her ass , much to Kai's delight .
He stood up , and nodded to Max , who dragged Tyson away from his food to go and get Tala . The music had stopped and he walked up the steps of the stage and stood next to Aruna , looking out over the sea of curious faces that looked up at him .
Never before had he made a public announcement of any kind . Silence fell , out of the corner of his eye he saw Max and Tyson waiting in the wings , a half conscious Tala strung between them , he was dressed in Aruna's cat suit and had her mask over his face.
Kai opened his mouth and began to speak to all the people in his club .
"I take it you have all heard of the Shadow ?" He asked , not really wanting an answer , but he heard the rush of whispers and a few people nodded their heads .
"Well , the Shadow was sent to kill me ," He said , Aruna felt a pang of guilt in her stomach , and a wave of nausea sweep over her . "Well , this Shadow is supposed to be the best assassin available , right ? well , that can't be true , because as you can see I am still alive ." he nodded to Max and Tyson . They walked out onto the stage , forcing the masked Tala onto his knees in front of Kai and pushed his head down so he was staring at the floor .
There was yet another ripple of mutters around the room , people stood up to get a better view .
"And , I have caught the Shadow ." said Kai . This time the rise in noise was considerable .
Kai waited patiently for the babble of sound to settle back to silence .
He took out his loaded gun , walked up to "The Shadow" and tore off the mask .
The whole room seemed to gasp as they saw the red head of Tala revealed from beneath the blue mask .
Tala , even though he wasn't half as important as Kai , was still pretty well known , and he had been the last person anyone expected to see . Kai grinned cruelly down at Tala , the red haired man raised his head and snarled at Kai , then he caught sight of Aruna .
His eyes darkened , and suddenly he broke out into a fit of struggling , trying to reach her , to cause her any harm he could , but Max and Tyson held him firmly .
" Fucking let me go ! I'm not the Shadow , she is !" He yelled .
Kai had known he would say this , and was prepared.
"Aruna was with me , in my room the night The Shadow tried to assassinate me Tala , she is nothing to do with it , so leave her out of this !" He said, there was a small amount of truth in that.
Tala growled .
"You little bitch ! You set me up !" he yelled .
Kai smirked and flipped the safety catch on the gun off .
"The invincible Shadow , I will show you how invincible you are ." he said , and he passed the gun to Aruna . "A mere woman can end your life , and I am going to prove it ." he said , pushing Aruna forwards .
Aruna was surprised to say the least , every eye in the room was on her , she looked at the gun , then at Tala .
"Go on woman !" Hissed Kai , so only she could hear him . She realised that he was giving her the chance to repay Tala in full . She nodded .
Tala scowled at her , hatred flowing out of ever pore of his being . He wanted to rape her , then kill her , cause her as much pain as possible .
She raised the gun , aiming it at his head , staring into his eyes , unblinking .
Tala winced , and gasped quietly , a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth . Max and Tyson's hands left his shoulders , and with no support , he felt flat on the stage , his blood running down the cracks between the floorboards . he hadn't even heard her fire the gun , he hadn't even felt it till after it had entered his body . His vision was clouding over , black mist welling up all around him , suffocating and constricting him .
Kai waited till he was sure Tala was dead, then nodded in satisfaction.
Aruna lowered the gun , a tremendous weight lifting from her narrow shoulders .
She blinked as a cheer erupted from the audience , and she felt Kai turn her around , his arms locked around her waist and his lips pressed against hers . Whistles and claps could be heard . But for her it was all dim and seemed far off . As Kai pulled away from her , she felt herself slipping .
Kai managed to catch her before she fell over, she had fainted in his arms , he looked at her , surprised by her reaction . he lifted her easily enough and nodded to the band to play , which they did , striking up a lively tune .
He walked off stage , through the crowd of people receiving claps on the back , and a few concerned prostitutes who had gotten to know her asking if Aruna would be okay .
Kai ignored them all , as he took her to his quarters , while Max , Tyson and Ray cleared away Tala's body .
Now , perhaps , he would be able to settle happily down with Aruna , now that The Shadow was dead , perhaps .
Wild-Roze : *Sigh* Whoa , that took ages , really ages . Hmmmm , OMG ! That was 21 pages long on Microsoft word , must be my longest chapter yet . Oh well , I spent ages writing , so could you pleeeeeeeeeeeeease review . Thankz .

The band which had stopped at the sound of the shot , started up again with a nod from Kai , people now didn't just steer clear of his table , no one dared to even look their way .
"What are you going to do with Tala ?" She whispered to him .
"You'll have to find out woman , for now you can go and tell the brass band to shut up , and wait for me on stage ." he said .
Aruna was puzzled but she did as he said anyway , she got up, punching anyone who reached out to smack her ass , much to Kai's delight .
He stood up , and nodded to Max , who dragged Tyson away from his food to go and get Tala . The music had stopped and he walked up the steps of the stage and stood next to Aruna , looking out over the sea of curious faces that looked up at him .
Never before had he made a public announcement of any kind . Silence fell , out of the corner of his eye he saw Max and Tyson waiting in the wings , a half conscious Tala strung between them , he was dressed in Aruna's cat suit and had her mask over his face.
Kai opened his mouth and began to speak to all the people in his club .
"I take it you have all heard of the Shadow ?" He asked , not really wanting an answer , but he heard the rush of whispers and a few people nodded their heads .
"Well , the Shadow was sent to kill me ," He said , Aruna felt a pang of guilt in her stomach , and a wave of nausea sweep over her . "Well , this Shadow is supposed to be the best assassin available , right ? well , that can't be true , because as you can see I am still alive ." he nodded to Max and Tyson . They walked out onto the stage , forcing the masked Tala onto his knees in front of Kai and pushed his head down so he was staring at the floor .
There was yet another ripple of mutters around the room , people stood up to get a better view .
"And , I have caught the Shadow ." said Kai . This time the rise in noise was considerable .
Kai waited patiently for the babble of sound to settle back to silence .
He took out his loaded gun , walked up to "The Shadow" and tore off the mask .
The whole room seemed to gasp as they saw the red head of Tala revealed from beneath the blue mask .
Tala , even though he wasn't half as important as Kai , was still pretty well known , and he had been the last person anyone expected to see . Kai grinned cruelly down at Tala , the red haired man raised his head and snarled at Kai , then he caught sight of Aruna .
His eyes darkened , and suddenly he broke out into a fit of struggling , trying to reach her , to cause her any harm he could , but Max and Tyson held him firmly .
" Fucking let me go ! I'm not the Shadow , she is !" He yelled .
Kai had known he would say this , and was prepared.
"Aruna was with me , in my room the night The Shadow tried to assassinate me Tala , she is nothing to do with it , so leave her out of this !" He said, there was a small amount of truth in that.
Tala growled .
"You little bitch ! You set me up !" he yelled .
Kai smirked and flipped the safety catch on the gun off .
"The invincible Shadow , I will show you how invincible you are ." he said , and he passed the gun to Aruna . "A mere woman can end your life , and I am going to prove it ." he said , pushing Aruna forwards .
Aruna was surprised to say the least , every eye in the room was on her , she looked at the gun , then at Tala .
"Go on woman !" Hissed Kai , so only she could hear him . She realised that he was giving her the chance to repay Tala in full . She nodded .
Tala scowled at her , hatred flowing out of ever pore of his being . He wanted to rape her , then kill her , cause her as much pain as possible .
She raised the gun , aiming it at his head , staring into his eyes , unblinking .
Tala winced , and gasped quietly , a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth . Max and Tyson's hands left his shoulders , and with no support , he felt flat on the stage , his blood running down the cracks between the floorboards . he hadn't even heard her fire the gun , he hadn't even felt it till after it had entered his body . His vision was clouding over , black mist welling up all around him , suffocating and constricting him .
Kai waited till he was sure Tala was dead, then nodded in satisfaction.
Aruna lowered the gun , a tremendous weight lifting from her narrow shoulders .
She blinked as a cheer erupted from the audience , and she felt Kai turn her around , his arms locked around her waist and his lips pressed against hers . Whistles and claps could be heard . But for her it was all dim and seemed far off . As Kai pulled away from her , she felt herself slipping .
Kai managed to catch her before she fell over, she had fainted in his arms , he looked at her , surprised by her reaction . he lifted her easily enough and nodded to the band to play , which they did , striking up a lively tune .
He walked off stage , through the crowd of people receiving claps on the back , and a few concerned prostitutes who had gotten to know her asking if Aruna would be okay .
Kai ignored them all , as he took her to his quarters , while Max , Tyson and Ray cleared away Tala's body .
Now , perhaps , he would be able to settle happily down with Aruna , now that The Shadow was dead , perhaps .
