Okay, I'm back again. Ready for action to boot. This chap's going to be one of the truly interesting one's, what with Ckat finally getting a little respect from Arucard. The emphasis here being on the word "little" if you catch my drift. Anyways; read, review and enjoy it!
Ckat pulled the car up to a hotel and stepped out into the night air. Arucard stepped out a few seconds later and looked the place over quickly before turning back to the cat daemon.
"We're staying here?" he asked, before shaking his head.
"We've got to keep a low profile. We get caught we never existed in the first place," Ckat said calmly, looking at the place herself, "And let's face it, we can't find a lower place on this plane of existence," she stated simply, heading back to the trunk after something.
"And just what are you doing back there?" Arucard demanded as he listened to her digging around.
"I'm working on making myself presentable for our upcoming performance," Ckat said with a grin on her face as she walked around to the other side of the building, "And no peeking!" she yelled as she disappeared, only to reappear again wearing a black suit that was clearly tailored to her body, "Well, what do you think?"
"It looks good, you wear that often?" He asked, looking her up and down a few times.
"Only when I have to, I can't stand having to wear to many layers," Ckat said simply as she started for the main entrance of the complex.
"There is something to be said for leaving things to the imagination," Arucard stated in a rather sultry manner as he followed the felid inside the building.
He watched with half curiosity as she walked up to the front desk.
"Hello, do you have any rooms with two beds open for the night," she asked as politely as she could.
The man behind the desk looked Ckat over once before returning his attention to the paper he was reading.
"Listen, lady. I don't care how high class a girl you are, I don't rent out so your kind can do business," the man stated, turning back to his paper.
Ckat nearly leapt across the desk and pulled the over-sized man half-way across, bringing his face close to her's.
"Listen to me and listen good!" she growled at the man, "I'm no hooker! I'm here with my brother to attend to family business. If I hear you make so much as another hint that I am, I'm gonna take that chair your sitting on now and shove it so far up your ass that they'll never be able to find all of it! Got me?" she growled, tossing him back into his chair and storming away after grabbing a key from his hand.
Arucard walked up to the desk with a smirk on his face. He watched the man sit there shaking with a growing dark stain in his lap. He gave a small chuckle.
"Just so you know, she's killed people over far less then what you just did," he stated, enjoying the deepened look of fear on the man's face at the thought that had been presented to him.
He soon joined Ckat up in their room shortly after that, finding her stretched out on one of the beds with something dangling between her lips and a bored look on her face.
"Took you long enough," she grumbled, turning over and curling up slightly, "Don't tell me your nose doesn't work, old man," she said, laughing at her own wit.
"Shut-up! You little pest!" he shouted, pulling out his gun and taking aim at his female companion.
"You don't want to do that, trust me on this," she grumbled, rolling onto her other side, "You won't like what happens," she added with a growl and a glare.
"Do you plan on leaving for this 'mission' of yours anytime soon?" he then asked, deciding against the waist of ammo, "or are you just going to sleep here until after you deadline?"
"We leave after midnight," she grumbled, turning over once again, "So be ready!" she added with a hiss.
She watched him move about, muttering something that she assumed she didn't want to hear. She flicked on the TV after awhile and started skimming the channels. She soon bored of even that and went out onto the small balcony for some fresh air before they left for their mission. She looked up at the stars and let out a heavy sigh.
"Having second thoughts about taking this mission?" Arucard asked, teasing her more then anything, "Wouldn't look to good to your boss if you chicken out now,"
"I'm just thinking to myself, that's all," she said, not looking at the troublesome vampire.
"Well, if it puts your mind at ease any, I was pulling your leg when I said I didn't know I was famous," he added, his trademark grin plastered on his face.
"Ass-hole," she grumbled, not looking over at him.
"So, are you ready to go yet, or are you going to wait any longer until you leave for this 'mission' you're supposed to be on, whatever it is," he finished with a huff.
"We will be leaving soon. And as far as what this mission is; the branch I fall under is in charge of taking care of any terrorist problems that are brought to the attention of the country heads. Mind you, we can't stop every one of them, but we've saved more then a few butts in our time," she said not looking at him still, "It's stopped having its novelty for me though," she finished, turning around and walking back into the room, "We might as well head out now, you're not going to stop bugging me until we do so," she stated, pulling on a pair of leather gloves.
"I can't be that irritating, now can I?" he asked, enjoying himself far to much at this point, "You're enjoying this, you just don't want to admit it," he chuckled, gaining another evil look from the felid.
He watched her walk over to her belongings and start shuffling through the contents. She pulled out a pair of leather gloves and sliding her hands into them.
"Let's get going, before I decide just to kill you and disappear," she stated coldly, heading for the balcony once again, "We can't use the front door, we'll be see and that's not something that the boss wants right now," she added before jumping off the edge of the balcony and waited for Arucard to follow her.
She surprised when he simply appeared right next to her. She stood there blinking at the feral grin on his face, debating weather she should punch him or just ignore the look he was giving her. In the end, she opted for the latter and walked away from him without acknowledging his presence further. He followed, seemingly more out of boredom then anything else.
Author's note: We will be finishing up Hell's Light in a few chapter's from now. This has nothing to do with any complaints I might have received about the storyline, it's just how things worked out since I have this already hand written and don't wish to alter it to greatly from the original work. So to all you fans of this work out there, enjoy it now and review it too! Until next time! Nyo!
