WARNING – Some dirty and potentially offensive talking.
Chapter II
"Time flies..."
"That was fast! I'm beginning to think you don't have a life!"
A simple grouch was Kai's answer as he descended his green bike and approached the man called Marshall. He had long raven hair and two black orbs that reminded Kai of something he really didn't like: cockroaches. He hated those damn creatures: filthy, disgusting, infesting all places, everywere, they were even worse then flys and they were as black as they were aswell.
"I mean it Kai, you're the first to get here and the last to leave, I'm beginning to think you don't have a life! Maybe I should get you a girlfriend... although it might be an impossible task, with that stuck up attitude, no woman in her perfect mind could possibly stand you."
Kai mentaly smiled at this. That wasn't true, there was someone that indeed could stand him, and yes, it was a woman: Mao.
Mao Lang.
***Three years ago
It was a sunny day –that's exactly what you expect from the Sun in the middle of June – and the birds were singing, the children were playing and Kai Hiwatari was grouching and complaing to himself on how ridiculous and shallow life was while unloading the things the removal firm had left in his new house. He really didn't like the idea; one day he just arrived from a mission with his best friend Yuri to find out that he had been moved
to the other side of the world – China... He hated it! He would be parted from the only person he could have a "normal" relationship with - if you can call anything that involves a vampires hunter normal - and go to China, to a God's forgotten city whose name he couldn't even pronounce! Kai was wandering through his thoughts, trying to find a painful way of making that idiot from the Association pay for that little swop of places. I think his
name is Marshall or something, when something snaped him back to earth's orbit.
A scream.
Usualy he didn't pay much attention to those sort of things, he had his own problems anyway, it's not like he needed any more! But he followed the sound and traced it to it's origin. It was just next to his own house, most likely it was some stupid neighbourhood kid...
Good chance to meet these jerks... I guess.
No, it wasn't a kid. It was a girl.
Pink head. She's a bit short, but that little white top looks very.. yummy...
Apparently she was hammering something, using a buch of huge nails and ended up slaming it into her own hand.
Stupid girl...
She hadn't notice his presence, so she just stopped complaining and turned back to the wooden board.
"Stupid thing, I swear I'll never let Salima convince me into this again -
EVER!"
Making another ridiculous attempt at nailing the 3 inch board she hit her hand again. And she screamed again.
Them, something extraordinary happened!
Kai decided to help.
"You're so pityfull you make me wanna cry."
"Wha???"
Mariah turned back, staring at the man before her.
"I'm sorry, did you say something?"
"Give me that!"
Without waiting for her response, Kai pushed forward and took the hammer out of her raised hand. Slowly, he grabbed the nail. He loocked at it for a few seconds, his left eye closed and moved the hammer back a bit...
SLAM!
One hit was all it took to bury the hole nail down. Looking to the board, he noticed two red marks, signaling were the rest of the nails were to be and hammered them as well.
"Great job... thank you. But, when exactly did I call you?" she tossed at
him with a somewhat sarcastic, provocative voice...
"You called me when you screamed like a wimp," Kai answered while turning back and preparing to leave.
"Eih! You think you're so that! I'd like to see if it was you! This is VERY painful!"
Kai frose in his place, twisted on his heels and turned at her. An amused grin on his face as he heads towards her.
"VERY painful" ? You have no idea what painful is..." he completed that last sentence with his best example from his scars collection as he uppered his black tank top.
Mariah was speechless – if it was because he had the ugliest and biggest scar she ever saw on his abdomen, or because he had a good made up body, she couldn't tell.
What the hell is wrong with me?! I fell like a kid fan girl staring at her idol! I don't even know this jerk!
"Woow, it's big... want a cookie for that?" She tossed at him.
Kai just smirked and prepared to leave again. But once more, that simple task was reversed by his pinkie neighbour.
"Where do you think you're going, ...."
"Kai."
"Mao, Mao Lang. Though you look like a cutie, you have a real stuck up attitude, you know that?" Mao was everything but gentle. She would just say things the way they had to be said, though her mother hardly cared for her, she made sure the would learn that lesson well. And she did. Always say what you must! Don't be afraid of people's reaction, always let them know where they stand with you!.
Kai sighed and followed her into her house. It was cool inside, the vent was on and nice fresh air hit his face as he barged in the traditional chinese house.
"Salima? Where's the water jar?" Mao screamed to no one.
"It's in the refrigerator!" an unknown voice replyed from the second floor. Must be Salima.. in a few moments, a girl descended the staircase that lead to the second floor.
"Did you hear me, Mao? It's in th..." She stared at Kai as he entered the kitchen. She was wearing a very small pair of shorts. In a few seconds, she resembled a tomato...
"Don't worry, I've seen better"
Salima wasn't sure whether she sould be relieved or pissed. She chose to be
relieved in the end.
"Right... I'm ah...ah..."
"Salima?"
"Yeah! You?"
"Kai... your new neigbour" he added dryly.
"So your taking over the Sangs house, humm?" Mao interrupted. She hated being left out of a conversation.
"Guess." He replied as he gladly accepted the fresh orange juice Mao just made.
Another voice came from the second floor, calling for Salima.
"Nice meeting you" she said, even more dry then Kai, and headed up. There was something about that guy that she definitely didn't like...
"Lovely friends Pink!" he tossed sarcastically.
"Looks who's talking, Mr Nice GuyTM himself."
Quick mouth... she was used to playing that game. But two can play it, darling.

"Hello? Earth calling Kai Hiwatari? Anybody home? Humm, you got all weird when I talked about girlfriend..."
One of those Kai Hiwatari's trademark death glares and Marshall knew he'd better shut up.
"Ok, take a look inside, the bodies are in the basement ok?"
"Not coming?"
"Been there, done that. Besides, the stink is awful and anyway, I don't wanna see you scared of another rookie."
"WHAT?! What's that supposed to mean? I will not begin another one! I'm not a trainer, I'm a slayer! If I start training those wimps, I'm gonna lose all my respect."
"And your nickname to, by the way."
Stupid Marshall, couldn't he take things seriously from time to time?
Kai walked to the house. There was someone waiting for him there. A priest? Man, the Association must be real worried. Last time a priest was sent to battle field was almost two centuries ago. Kai licked his upper lip.
This is gonna be funny.
The priest turned to Kai as he heard footsteps behind him. You could see he was very nervous. He couldn't stop moving his hands, his forehead was all sweaty and he had an almost annoying smile on his perfect white face. He looked like a blonde angel, he shouldn't be there!
"Father Max Mizuara, Mr. Hiwatari. I heard you were going in with me?"
Kai lifted an eyebrow. "You were going in with me?"
"Lets make one things straight here Father. I'm in charge here! _You_ come
with _me_, got that?"
"I'm afraid the Association gives _me_ the leading paper Mr Hiwatari"
Kai smirked. That little prick...
"You ever met a vampire? Vampires don't give a fuck if you're in charge or not, they'll just jump at you and suck your brain out without thinking twice. You don't have the capability to respond fast enough to an attack, thus you cannot lead a team. So I'm in charge and you shut up! Got it?"
There are just somethings one can not fight; Kai Hiwatari was one of those.
He was known to be ruthless and was well known among the vampire communities. Rumors said he had fallen in love with a woman and a vampire killed her; ever since that moment he joined the Association and become of one of the best slayers – the real reason he had been transfered. And Father Max really didn't want to find out why he was one of the best...
Following closely, too close for Kai, they entered the house. The set resembled a terror's movies, white fog surrounding the house and everything.
Max mumbled something indecipherable and continued to follow Kai through the chambers.
Kai decided it was time. One quick look over the house and he knew what to do.
"To your left Ladies and Gentleman, is the bathroom. Please notice the beautiful red glow the dried blood adds to this wondeful set of green."
Max was astonished. He was JOKING!
"Don't you have respect for life?!"
The usually ignoring Kai made fair the word "ignoring" and continued his path.
"To your right, the main hall! Wow, notice that great decoration on the center of the table - the heart gives the room a special touch, don't you think?"
Max hadn't noticed the table because he was staring at the walls and crashed on top of the broken table. As he turned over his back, the heart laid on his stomach.
"AHHH!!!"
Kai started laughing like a lunatic at the scene present before him: Father Max was basically freaking out, the heart was soaking his vests and instead of removing the organ, he just cried out.
Feeling sorry for the guy, Kai reached out and picked the heart with his bare hand and lifted it to his eyes. For the first time on that night, Kai's face became serious. A mask of concern fitted his pale skin and a chill walked over Max's back. It couldn't be a good sign.
"Ok, you won! It's what you wanted, right! Congratulations, I'm leaving."
"Good for you!" he tossed at him.
You couldn't take it anyway. Bac'sham... I got the message, we have unfinished business to attend...

*grin* you think the heart is disgusting... just to let you know, the
chapter you read was re-re-re edited... it was just to violent... you have
no idea how twisted my mind can be sometimes... Brian hum? Never thought of
him in that perspective... Guess he wouldn't do bad, but I have very
specific plans for this fic. Maybe I'll place him on the story, but expect a
minor paper.
