Chapter III
I'll find you...
Thump!!!
Poor Brooklin was being squashed against the hard, cold brick wall of the back entrance of "The Ripper", a piece of dump on the heart of the Old Neighbourhood. The Old Neighbourhood was a huge complex that reminded the Brasilian getho: big, dirty, over crouded, and mostly – extremely dangerous. And Kai was inside it. Few dared venturing to it's surroundings much less to it's very core! But Kai never feared the place and when Ozuma, who was incharge of showing him around and teach him chinnese, took him there, he felt strangely at home. Kai Hiwatari had a very... peculiar life. He would rather forget it, but hard has he would try, the image of his drunk mother and his stupid father kept barging to his mind! Why wouldn't they leave!?
Oh well, life is a bitch, you just have to bear with it Kai! But you Brook, that's a different story...
Blood was dipping from the fresh cut Kai just made with his katana. Just another one... Some sort of draw was displayed on Brooklin's belly, a macabre tatoo made out from several different cuts the sharp weapon left on his abdomen. Each time they would meet, the same ritual:
..."I won't say a word!"...
SLASH!!!
... and Brooklin got himself another scar...
"I'd figure you for being smarter then this... guess inteligence doesn't fit guys that are named after bridges and cities..."
"Why are you doing this to me? I had nothing to do with Ozuma's accident!" Brooklin shouted trying to defend himself...
Sorry, didn't quite work the way he hopped..
Kai's eyes widened, his fist mets the man's face, then back of his head hits the wall, then strucks forward and hits Kai's fist – chain reaction as most would call it. Quite effective though, Brooklin was skared, now he was terrified. Though that might be due to Kai's angry expression...
"Wha're you talking about, damn bastard?! He entered the morge four days ago and the Association cleaned all the tracks of it! You... you gave him away! That's why Brian knew he was coming! I still need you Brooklin... but when I'm done... you're dead..." Kai shouted at him, his face glued to Brooklin's, crimson eyes irradianting with power treatening a premature death for a shaking Brooklin.
"But..but b_b.. but I.. I mean, I don't.. really, I dont know that g_uy!"
Shoting daggers at him, Kai alows him to fall to the ground with a "thud". Brooklin is sprawled on the back of the alley, when he tries to get up, Kai puts his foot on his face.
"Ei, that hurts!" Brooklin complained, his winning muffled by his own cheeks crushed bellow Kai's army boots.
"Ok, maybe I do know him! But I can't remember it very well now..."
Kai pressed harder.
"Ok, ok, I'll give! I saw him when he arrived, he came from far, approcaching from the Left Hills, with his little 'commite'.
"Commite? What do you mean?"
"Humm... He's not alone! He came with his partners."
"And?"
"What?"
"Cut the crap, I know you, fuckin bastard! You tell me what the hell you're hidding or you'll know the word "pain" in it's full extent! Again..."
Remembering something obviously painfull, Brooklin was about to say something, when...
Saved by the bell! Is friends were calling him, too close for Kai, no point on blowing up one of his best informers - Better split!
Kai walked in. The smell was awfull – it was the Rippers kitchen!
What are they cooking?!
Existing the Neighbourhood and heading for the Hills, Kai made a mental note to go and find Brooklin again to settle some things. What did he meant with "commite"?? It's not like they liked each other very much, but at least we wasn't bothering him all the time. Apparently, he received some call, they wanted him to go get the newbies. Ozuma didn't particularly liked teaching, but you have to take what you have, and all Ozuma had was teaching. Newbies can be very annoying – they don't know a thing, sometimes they don't even know what they're doing there! Not really they're fault, the Searchers just go and find kids with good abilities or that went through some Underworld experience. Like Kai did. Long ago, when he met Yury. Because he met Yuri.
Smirking within at the memory of the first time he saw his friend, Kai didn't notice the car pulling over.
"Wake up!"
"Humm?"
"Day dreaming, Kai?"
"It's 11 pm, Mao..."
Giving him the look, Mao opened the door.
"I'm not going home yet."
"What are you going to do at this hour? You have the weirdest habits ever, Kai! Sometimes you come out first thing in the morning, sometimes you look like a bat, waking up at midnight! Whatever super-secret job you have must have a real flexible shedulle!"
"You just don't give up, now do'ya?". Mao tried her best to make Kai slip and tell her what he did, but just when he was about to say it, he gave her a comic look and went away. That Kai, sometimes you just can't understand him! Why was he like that to her?
"Fine, I'll leave you somewere else. Where are you heading to?"
"The Left Hills"
"This time of the night? Are you insane? All types of crooks hang out over there at this time of the night!"
"Are you taking me or not? It's a long way, I don't want to take much time!"
"Humm... I don't know..."
Suddenly her face brightens and a big smile cracks her lips. Plumpy cheeks that make you wanna grab them, a child like smile and those cat like eyes and Kai already knew whatever she'd ask, he couldn't deny it. He just couldn't say no to her.
"You'll take me to the movies! I wanna see Underworld!"
"What? I don't like to go to the movies! Besides, that's one of those stupid vampires movie!"
"It's not! How do you know if you don't like seing movies?"
Kai smiled. Those movies had nothinng to do with real vampires. Always that stupid same crap: a vampire bites your neck and you become a vampire, or the "Oh, the Sun"! If it wasn't that, it was a story about a nice vampire helping the mortals to end some danger!
No, real vampires were monsters! Blood thirsty creatures with no respect for life - mortal or immortal. Deadly predators with a great power and strong bodies, feeded at the expense of inocent blood! And worse, with time, they became even stronger, they could survive under the Sun for a certain period of time. So now the only way of killing them was ripping their head off. And God knows how hard it is to imobilize a vampire, much less cut their heads off!
"Fine, this time you win! Now lets go!"
Mao smiled. Big, bad Kai Hiwatari, all she had to do was make that cute face and he was eating on her hand! Men... they're so easy. Then again... oh, Kai! When will I get the guts!
"What are you staring at?! Move!"
Mao didn't realize she was staring at him, blushing hard she drove her pink Beetle, taking the highway onto the Left Hills. Most people were surprized on how much traffic that city had to even need a highway!
Five minutes later, Mao parks the car near enough to prevent Kai from walking to much.
"You're so scared!"
"Am not! Well... just a bit... this is a dangerous area." She said looking around. A drunk junckie walks by and falls on top of her window glass, scaring her like hell!
"Ahhh!!!"
"Take it easy, he's just drunk!"
She looked real frightten. So helpless and beautifull, looking at him, those amber eyes calling him to her...
She was so surprised, she tensed up when he pulled her into him.
Mao felt like flying. Her head bent over his left shoulder and her body pressed against his torso. She could feel his breathing on her neck, and the scent of his skin emaneted from his clothing.
Kai on the other hand wasn't sure what to do. He dreamed of her several times, but he couldn't afford having a girlfriend, it was too dangerous for both of them.
Mao almost hit his seat when he relased her.
"Sorry, I really have to go...Thank you, Mao!" he told her, looking strainght in her eyes.
Smiling gracefully, Mao trew him a "Good bye!" and drove off.
Kai took a few breaths before going in the Hills. The Left Hills were a huge extension of terrain, up and down, around a hill or woden house, maybe an abanddoned car, completely dark and dirty. Junkies every now, passing in front of him, hookers hitting on him when he walked by, you could find just about everything in that place – human life was reduced to it's lower levels in that filthy place.
And dark too. Kai could barely see, there were plenty people around them – how was he suppoused to find Bac'shama there?
Looking around, asking people for pale guys and a small mob – nothing!
He wouldn't give it up! He and those with him had to be somewere. He could call help but he was a looner and prefered to handle things on his own. Besides, Bac'shama was his! He had to pay...
I'll find you... I'll find you even if I have to stay here all bloody night!
Searching back in his memory, Kai tried to remember the time they first met. . .
