Rodeo Romeo

His dark eyes stared passively out as the morning mist was evaporated by the slow-rising sun as it started its daily trek across the cloudless skies. The golden orb's fiery rays glancing off the pitch hide of his horse who stood lashed to a dead tree.

The black hills rose far off to the South, cloaked in a layer of fog which shone gold in the sun. Far off in the course bush, he could hear a skylark start its ascent into the perfect blue, and in the distance in the shadow of a small hill, the village of Deadwood was coming to life, and on the faint breeze he could hear the hustle and bustle as the streets came to life.

A smirk curled onto his mouth, and he lowered his head, the brim of his hat shielding his face from the sun. He glanced up as his black stallion snorted impatiently, he tugged on his riding gloves and strode over to him.

"Impatient are we Dranzer?" He said quietly, untying the animal and hauling himself up onto his back.

"First a new woman, then some more money." He murmured to himself.

He dug his spurs into Dranzer's flanks, setting his steed into a gallop, he smirked, he hadn't had a woman in almost a month, and the last one had been a damned Indian, the little savage hadn't even spoken his language, and she had been awful in bed.

He hoped his next prize would be better.

No one paid any attention to the man on a black horse who rose silently through the town, his face covered by the brim of his hat. Lately he had been hearing of a new girl in town, she had moved her from Chicago and had opened a bar. Apparently she was a stunning beauty, and that everyone liked her, her bar was called The Lone Ranger. He knew her name; Aruna, Aruna Sezuki. He smirked, this was going to be fun.

Aruna smiled as her friend Max sat down at the bar. It was only early in the morning, but already the place was filling up.

"Howdy, and what can I get for you today darlin'?" She asked.

Max grinned. "a gin and tonic please Aruna."

He watched her as she turned to fetch his request. She really was a very beautiful creature, Navy hair that fell a little way past her shoulders when it was let down, unlike today, now it was raked back into a rugged ponytail, she was wearing her waitressing outfit today, a short black dress with a white apron. Very plane, but exceedingly flattering to her figure, which was amazing. He sighed, if only she was in his league.

With a sudden bang, the doors of the bar were thrown open, and a gun shot was fired into the air. Aruna screamed in surprise and dropped the glass with Max's drink in it.

"Everyone down !" Yelled a voice.

Aruna dropped down behind the bar, reaching under the till for the gun which she kept there. She dragged it out, listening to the footsteps which were slowly getting closer to the bar. She hurriedly shoved some bullets into the chamber, and switched off the safety catch. She heard the footsteps come to a halt right on the other side of the bar.

She sprang to her feet, and pointed the gun at the man, his crimson eyes gazing at her. She pulled the trigger.

Click.

The man smirked, and Aruna cursed. She had flipped the safety catch on, not off. He raised his own gun.

"Aruna, I presume?" he said.

She dropped the gun and backed into the opposite side of the bar. She recognised this man from the wanted posters around town, he had quite a price on his head. Kai Hiwitari, the outlaw. There he stood, his suede jacket and trousers with their tassels hanging from them, his matching boots, gloves and hat. He was a classic cowboy.

Before she could move he lashed out, grabbing her around her wrist, and dragged her forward, and over the bar. She screamed for help.

"Let her go you Bastard!" Spat Max.

Kai smirked down at the blonde haired man, and fired his gun. Max cried out in agony, clutching his leg, Aruna screamed again, perhaps if she yelled loudly enough the Sheriff would hear.

Kai turned the gun around, so the handle connected sharply with the back of her head, knocking her out cold.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kai lashed Dranzer to the tree again and entered his home. It was a large cave, cut into the hillside by the harsh winds and the stinging grains of sand they carried on them. He had spent years in here and had fashioned it into a comfortable place to live.

He had deposited the woman in here earlier he had been almost sure she wouldn't come to before he got back, even if she had he would have been able to find her again if she had run off, but his suspicions proved correct. She still lay, in an undignified heap at the back of his cave, and a bed of coyote skins.

He hadn't just been back to Deadwood to get money, he had also measured the woman up, trying to resist the urge to allow his hands further. What he had heard about her had been no lie, she really was gorgeous. And he had brought back something that he was sure would suit her.

He dropped a small bag containing the items he had got for her and went to a different section of his cave where there was a hot spring to bath.

Aruna was in darkness, but slowly, a light appeared, tiny at first, drifting towards her, it grew larger, and when it was almost upon her, it exploded. Colours flew around her vision, and an agonising pain tore through her skull.

She moaned, and managed to drag herself into an upright position, her slender fingers slid to the back of her head, where she felt a lump, which stung painfully when she came into contact with it. Her dark, navy eyes opened and surveyed her surroundings.

She had no idea where she was, or how she had gotten there. All she could recall was..

She glanced around at a small noise, here eyes widened. A man was walking towards her, his upper body was bare, but he wore suede trousers on his lower half, he had obviously just bathed because the water was clinging to his skin in tiny droplets, his blue hair hung slightly in front of his eyes, sometimes shielding them and their crimson depths.

"You !" She hissed with venom. Her memory came flooding back, it was as if the image of him had caused a damn in her mind to crumble. He looked up at her, surprised that she had recovered herself so quickly.

He smirked at her, only causing her fragile temper to crack slightly more. She glared at him, irritated beyond belief by his gross, blatant, amusement at her distress.

"Where the Hell am I ?!" She said, trying to keep her voice calm and level.

"What difference does it make?" He said, his voice was deep, and husky, it almost sounded as if he were growling. "You're here now, so, knowing where you are isn't going to help you is it?"

"Look," she said, trying to gain control of the conversation. "I don't know what you want, but if it is money, you can have all of it, just let me go." She pleaded, hoping it was the profits of The Lone Ranger that he was after.

He chuckled. It was only a small sound, but the growling quality in his voice caused the normally jovial noise to almost sound as if it came from some kind of animal, chilling her to the bone.

"Do you know who I am ?" He asked, advancing slowly on her. Every step he took towards her, she took one away.

She nodded silently, tying to keep the distance between them the same, backing off, until she came into contact with the wall of the cave, halting her progress. He still came forward, the very way he strode was menacing to her.

"Then, tell me, what would I need your money for?"

Aruna didn't reply, she couldn't, she was afraid of this man. She had heard about him, from many of her customers. She had dismissed their stories as over-exaggerated and untruthful, she had seen the posters around town, he had a very healthy sum of money riding on his capture. But she had never even thought of the possibility that she would ever see him, much less be abducted by him.

"T-Then what is it y-you do want?" She breathed, not really wanting to know the answer.

By now, Kai was inches away from her, he leaned forward so he could feel her trembling breath on his face.

"You tell me, whore." He said quietly.

Aruna's eyes widened, and with a burst of strength, summoned by panic, she shoved him away from her, and made a run for it. She dashed out of the cave, into the dusky evening. In the mornings it was easy to spy Deadwood on the horizon, but now, with the sun sinking to the West of the Black Hills, and the dust motes floating in the air and glistening with the last dying sun rays of the day, it was impossible to see. Aruna had no clue where she was, but she didn't care, she dashed onwards, until she saw the black horse tied to a tree.

She dashed to him and unfastened him, she climbed up onto his back, perhaps escaping would be easier than she had thought. She dug her heels into his flanks.

Dranzer flicked his ear, casting away a fly, and lowered his head to crop some of the rare strands of grass available. Aruna kicked harder.

"Go! Go you stupid animal, go !" She yelled furiously.

There. There was that cruel chuckling again. She looked around to see Kai, leaning against the rocky entrance to the cave.

"You can do that till the cows come home, he won't move unless I am the one who commands him to." He said, smirking.

Aruna couldn't believe it, she was trapped, with no way of escaping, if she ran, she would become lost in the wilderness, and be caught by Indians and killed, if she stayed she would become a toy for this man. Trapped, with a wanted criminal.
