ELITE ANGELS, ELITE DEMONS
Chapter 8
All eyes turned to Rei.
"Well? Spit it out, we don't have all night!" Ami said frantically.
Rei rolled her eyes and spoke. "I was trying to reach it with my mind and though I could tell that it was one of the Canis genus by its shape, it was purple instead of the usual dark grey. Therefore, I'm pretty sure that the color of its eyes was a violet or indigo."
Ami put a hand to her chin in thought. "I guess that's a start, but next time we go up against any other opponent, whether it's class one or class four, I want you to check the eye color from now on as will I," she said as she rubbed her eyes. "Now what are we going to do about you three in public?"
"Yeah, you guys obviously can't go out in public. I guess me and Ami will go look for jobs, then with the money we have left we'll buy some clothes for you," Usagi suggested as she twirled a piece of her hair in her finger.
"That sounds good, but we all just need new shirts, since our shorts, pants, and skirts didn't get ripped, we can just wash them," Makoto said nodding her head.
"I have the longest hair! I get the shower first!" Minako suddenly burst out, jumping up from her seat.
"I have second longest hair! I go second!" Rei also exclaimed.
Makoto, who had a confused look on her face, sighed. "I guess that means that I go last."
……………………………………..
Minako hummed to herself in the shower; a sweet small tune to lighten her mood. But it didn't seem to work. Luckily she had though about the shower before she finally broke down. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she thought about their last battle with the wolf.
She was not supposed to put herself in danger like that! And then she put Makoto and Rei in danger when Makoto pulled the wolf out and then Rei had to deal with it by herself.
Minako looked down at her arm and sighed once more. Her bandage was wrapped in plastic so that it wouldn't get wet and then come off. She began to lather the shampoo in her hair as she thought about the information they had gained.
So it was possibly a Bemmu Carut, and it's eyes that are possibly violet or indigo. And five weird guys walk up to them trying to scare them away.
Minako closed her eyes and remembered the hot, weird guys and what they said. The one with the braid had said……… Minako's eyes flashed open.
Those indigo eyes…… he had beautiful indigo eyes! Minako tried hard to think about what color the wolfs eyes were, for it could be a mistake and she didn't was to get it wrong.
…flashback….
"It seems to an animal of the Canis genus. But I couldn't get the full reading on it, I was pulled out," Rei said rubbing her eyes.
"That's because it's right there," Makoto said nonchalantly pointing at a growling wolf on the sidewalk in front of them. Its glowing eyes glared at them as it bared its sharp, bloodthirsty canines.
"Hmm, oh yes it would seem that it is."
And with that the wolf lunged.
…end flashback…
Its glowing eyes weren't the usual yellow, they were indigo! She had it figured out.
Minako quickly finished cleaning herself and hopped out of the shower. Wrapping a towel around her body she quickly burst out of the bathroom and into the living room where Rei and Makoto were also in towels sitting on Ami and Usagi's couch.
"Hey! I – how did you both take a shower?" Minako asked as she slowly lowered her hand.
"We took a shower in our room, yours take too long," Rei said lifting up her hair which was plastered to her face, shoulders and back.
Minako shook her head with such enthusiasm that water droplets sprayed all over the room.
"Anyway, as I was saying, I've figured it out!" Minako said opening her arms wide as if she were a grandma ready to hug her grandchildren.
"Figured what out, Minako?" Ami asked, now sitting up straight in her chair.
"I know who the wolf is! I may not be a genius like Ami but it doesn't take I genius to put 4 and 6 together!"
"Apparently it takes a genius to put common phrase together," Rei mumbled to herself, then immediately felt a slight sting as Ami whacked her on the back of the head.
"Minako, I believe that it's two and two together. Now, who do you think the wolf is?" Ami said placing her hands in her lap and acting as if nothing had happened, while Rei rubbed the back of her head.
Minako glared at Rei but began to speak.
"It's that dude …… what's his name, Duik, Dooey, uhhhh DUO! That's it! It's that Duo guy who was in that group of men that were trying to scare us off for some reason," Minako concluded, flailing her arms around wildly.
"Hey, you just may be right," Ami said quietly as she stood up and placed a finger on her chin. Slowly she began to walk around, pondering what Minako had said. "Yes, I believe you're right. So they weren't just class four Demons. Damn! I wish we had a device that could tell us who's who!"
"Wow Ami, I've never heard you swear before," Usagi said with wide eyes.
"Well you learn something new every day," Ami said. Opening the curtains she looked out of the window. "It's almost sunrise, Usagi. Let's get cleaned up before we head out."
Usagi nodded and hopped up from her seat, skipping into the bathroom to wash up.
A few moments later, the sun was in the sky and Ami and Usagi headed out. As they were walking down the sidewalk Usagi sniffed the air and twirled around.
"Ah! I've missed days like this up in heaven," she said a bit too loudly, making pedestrians look at her oddly.
"Usagi! Keep it down. And what do you mean? Every day is like this in heaven," Ami said quieter, her eyes glancing every which way to see if she could catch a glance of those five men.
"Sorry, sorry. They'll probably just think I'm on drugs. No biggie," Usagi said waving her hand as if it were nothing.
Ami face faulted anime style before she got back up and said, "Usagi, that's not funny!"
"Sorry! Jeez, my apologies," Usagi said exasperated as she stepped into a clothing store that had a bright red sign that read, 'SALE.'
"Usagi!" Ami yelled as she followed the giggling blond.
Soon the two girls came out of the store with a small bag of three shirts.
"Ha! I am so good at bargaining!" Usagi laughed as she giddily skipped along the sidewalk.
"Usagi, you persuaded the guy with your looks. I wouldn't really call that bargaining," Ami said matter-of-factly.
"Oh come on Ami! Must you always be so up tight? Let loose! Live a little! Now let's get some food!" And with that Usagi once again ran ahead of Ami.
"Usagi!" Ami screamed.
………………………………………….
Soon the two girls started to walk home with four bags of groceries, one bag of clothes and a newspaper.
The day was still bright and it was bustling with life, busy people running here and there, bored people meandering that way and this. Over all it was just I nice day.
"What a beautiful day," Usagi said, expressing her thoughts in words, wishing that she and Ami could possibly go sit by the lake or something.
"Yeah, no kidding. But we better hurry up and get this stuff home. You know Rei's temper," Ami sighed. She too wished that she could hang out somewhere.
"Why don't we give them their clothes and then take the newspaper to look for jobs and sit by a lake or in a garden," Usagi suggested. She really wanted to be outside today. It was as if the sun was pleading her to stay outside and enjoy it bright, golden, warm rays.
"That sounds like a good idea. And here we are, let's hurry," Ami said running into the inn.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Usagi cried, running after Ami's retreating form.
…………………………….
"Lay out the red carpet! Let the trumpets sound! For princess Ami and princess Serenity have arrived!" Usagi said bursting through the door of Minako, Makoto and Rei's apartment.
"Bow down at our feet and praise us!" Ami giggled as she partook in Usagi's little game.
"Uh………no," Makoto said fanning herself. "Where have you guys been? It took you forever to get that stuff!"
"Mako-chan, we only left around……7:00. It's………oh, I see," Ami giggled as she looked at the clock on the wall, which read 1:24 PM.
"Can we have our shirts now?" Rei asked holding out her hand.
"Oh, right," Usagi said as she bent down and rummaged around in one of the bags. She pulled out three plain short-sleeved shirts. One was a bright yellow, one a gorgeous violet, and one a pretty sugar pink.
Usagi handed the violet one to Rei, and sugar pink one to Makoto and the yellow one to Minako.
"All settled. Now, why don't we make some sandwiches and grab some fruit and head down to a lake or garden so we can look for jobs in this newspaper we got," Ami said, remember her and Usagi's ingenious plan.
"Hmm, sounds good," Came Minako's muffled reply through her shirt.
And so the five Angels headed out to a large garden and began to search through the papers.
"Hmm, here's a job at a local restaurant," Ami said, scanning over the options.
"Oh, I'll take that one!" Makoto said. She was lying on the grass on her back while Ami and Rei were sitting on a bench, Usagi was sitting cross-legged to her right and Minako was lying on her stomach to her left.
Ami ripped out the job offer and handed it to Makoto and began to look for more.
"Uh, there's one…… working in a video arcade."
"Oh! Oh! That's me, that is so totally me!" Usagi said holding out her hand in which Ami placed the job offer.
"Let's see here…… no that's not a good one. Hmm, a job at a grocery store?" Ami sighed. "I guess I'll take that one."
At the end of the day it turned out like this:
Usagi : video arcade worker.
Ami : grocery store worker.
Rei : clothing store worker.
Makoto : restaurant waitress.
Minako : bookstore worker.
"Ugh! These jobs suck!" Minako said stomping her foot.
"Oh Minako, hush up they're fine. At least they'll get us the money we need." Rei was fed up with Minako and Usagi's whining.
And so about a week went by and each girl got the feel for their new jobs. They had fake information that they needed from their last visit from Earth.
Makoto finished putting on her uniform and stepped out of the bathroom.
"Hey all! I'm out, see you tonight. We're going out right?" She called as she grabbed her purse, which she had bought with her own money.
"Yeah, so don't get too dirty at that restaurant," Minako teased as she also go ready for her work.
Makoto rolled her eyes as she stepped out of their room and began to walk to her work. Reaching her destination she said hi to a couple of coworkers and began to do her job.
An hour later Makoto was sitting down, whipping her brow with a handkerchief.
"Damn, today is hot!" Kimiko, one of Makoto's coworkers, said.
"Yeah, it's been like this for a couple of days now. I wonder what's going on," Makoto replied, unbuttoning the neck of her uniform.
"Hey, that's not a bad idea," Kimiko said also unbuttoning that neck of her uniform.
"Makoto! Kimiko! Get off your lazy asses and get to work! A customer just walked in!" Their annoying boss called out from inside the kitchen.
"Ugh, you've got this one. I had the last," Kimiko said scooting Makoto out of the chair with her butt.
Makoto giggled and moved out of Kimiko's way to walk up to the man standing there by himself.
"Just one? Alright, please follow me," Makoto said after a sound of consent from the customer. Not really look at him she walked to a small table and sat the man down.
"Hi, my name is Makoto and I'll be your waitress today. Can I start you off with something to drink?" She asked in a slightly bored tone.
"I'll just have a water, please," a deep, familiar voice said.
Makoto's eyes snapped open as she stared into a pair of deep, beautiful, indigo eyes. Makoto looked down at him with wide eyes as he looked up at her with a seductive smile.
Keep your composure Makoto. "Right. I'll be right back." He doesn't know who you are Makoto, just be calm. "Here you go sir," she said as she handed him a glass of water. "I'll come back in a few moments to see if you're ready to order."
"Alright, angel," he replied.
Makoto stopped dead in her tracks as her eyes widened. But quickly she loosened herself up, just incase he didn't know who she was. Luckily she got through the day serving him, thinking he didn't know who she was.
"Hey Makoto, who was the hotty?" Kimiko asked winking at her as she began to put chairs on top of the tables.
"I don't know, some guy," Makoto replied, smiling up a storm. She had to admit, that man was pretty hot……NO! She couldn't think that! He was the son of Satan and he was their biggest enemy. Not to mention that he was a Bemmu Carut.
After all of the chairs were put up Kimiko left, leaving Makoto alone with her boss.
"Makoto, I'm closing up. Grab your stuff and take the trash out. I'm leaving!" Her boss called.
"Alright! I'll see you tomorrow!" She called back as she heard a response of 'whatever.'
Makoto rolled her eyes as she grabbed her purse and the trash bags and headed outside in the back. Throwing the bags away Makoto clapped her hands together in satisfaction.
"Nice pair of arms you got there."
It was the same seductive voice that was in the restaurant before. Without turning around she spoke.
"What do you want, Demon?" With that she snapped around to see………nothing. "What?" she whispered.
"Looking for me?" an airy voice said in her ear.
Makoto whipped around coming literally face-to-face with the son of Satan. Makoto's hands shot up as she began to call to her goddess. She knew she had no chance of beating him on her own but she had to protect herself somehow.
"Great He – ungh!" Right as Makoto's hands went up they were pinned to the wall behind her.
"Ah, ah, ah." He said as he sniffed her neck. "Mmm, you smell good." Surprising Makoto he licked her neck. "A perfect place to begin," he said as he barred two perfectly sharp fangs.
"What do you want from me?" Makoto asked with hostility. She began to think about kicking him but as if he read her mind he stepped on her feet, making her wince.
He kissed her neck lightly. "I guess you could say," he kissed her neck once again, "That I wanted to get a taste," he kissed her neck once more, "Of what our opponents were like."
"Well I guess you've gotten your fill now, huh?" Makoto said in a nasty tone.
"Hmm, I wouldn't say that quite yet," he said as he nipped her neck, making a small squeal slip out of her lips.
"Mmm, so you like that?"
"I never said that I did, it just……" Makoto couldn't think of an answer.
"It made you excited, didn't it?"
Makoto didn't answer but glared at Duo instead. Duo smiled a seductive smile right in front of Makoto, their faces so close that their noses almost touched. Slowly he began to lean forwards, making Makoto's heart thump loudly against her chest. His soft lips brushed hers as a strange feeling went through her body.
"I can hear your heart beat, how fast it runs right now. You're excited." Whatever comeback Makoto was going to use was cut off as Duo placed his lips fully on hers.
Makoto vowed not to respond to the kiss but she surprised and scared herself when she found her self ever so slowly responding. Soon it turned into a heated and passionate kiss.
Makoto gasped slightly when she felt Duo's tongue slowly enter her mouth. She swore she could feel Duo smiling, and once again surprising herself her tongue began to entwine with Duo's.
She wanted Duo to let her hands go so she could run her hands through that chocolate brown hair of his. He could tell that she wanted more and that's when he pulled away, making a slight whimper come out of her lips.
"That's all that you get for now. Maybe I'll give you a little more some other time." And with one last kiss Duo backed away and seemed to melt into the darkness until he was gone.
