Betray Me Chapter 2: Enter Jeice


With Hiei


"Why am I here? What am I doing?" Hiei asked Scarlet.

"Dear, you are here because some greater force wills you to. That and your blood mother has died." Scarlet crooned.

"What do you mean?" Hiei demanded.

"She was killed." Scarlet said, nonchalantly.

"Who was killed?" A bored voice asked.

"Jeice, just because you're bored, doesn't mean that you can go about and bug other people." A second voice cut.

"Aww…but it's so boring and why'd you drag me into this, Bri!" The person called Jeice complained.

"Because I have round-up duty 24/7 and here you are having the time of your life being a sorcerer!" Scarlet snarled.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what do we have here?" a voice from the shadows asked.

"Bri…it's another vampire that needs to be dealt with. You know how Scarlet brings them all here for blood tests." Jeice said with an annoyed tone.

Hiei glared with so much hate and resentment, Scarlet thought Jeice wouldn't come out of this death match alive.

"Jeice, you know his bites are fatal for you…Don't provoke him." Bri told him, in a dead language most others didn't know.

"Briona, step out of the shadows, you're scaring away this fledgling!" Scarlet scolded, in the language previously mentioned.

A girl stepped out from the shade of the building. She looked like a normal teen, except for a few minor details. She had a long, faded trench coat, similar to the one Scarlet was wearing, and fingerless leather gloves. She had short black hair, and pale green eyes, that seemed to have once mirrored Kurama's. (A/N: This is a foreshadow thing…think about it!) She wore all black, and even had black features.

"This is Briona." Scarlet said, using perfect Japanese so that Hiei could understand.

"And we are here to try to help, even though I won't try!" Jeice said.

Upon further inspection, Jeice looked like a 15 year old kid, wearing black shoes, brown cotton pants, a long sleeved white cotton shirt, and black fingerless gloves. He had piercing blue eyes, and had short brown hair. Around his neck hung little charms and symbols of dark gods and goddesses on little pieces of string and chain.

"And he is Jeice…" Bri added.

"And thus, we have wandered together for 3 years, and the two of us for even longer." Scarlet added, pointing to Briona.

"And now, to get back to why you dragged me out of bed!" Jeice yelled.

"Alright…We will need a sample of your blood, to determine who your blood mother was." Scarlet said.

"What do you mean? Who would be my blood mother?" Hiei asked.

"The person who turned you into a vampire! You're a slow learner!" Jeice yelled, really annoyed.

While Jeice was fuming, Briona snuck up behind Hiei and stuck a syringe into his back. She then took a sample of blood and snuck back to where Scarlet was.

"I see the training of a thief has never worn off." Scarlet complimented.

"No, it will always be here with me." Bri said.

"Why you, damn dirty backstabber!" Hiei yelled, obviously annoyed with all of this, and how the three wouldn't answer his questions.

"Ok, we'll answer your questions now…" Scarlet said, hesitantly.

"Why did you bring me here?"

"Because you are the newest vampire, and that means that you are the weakest. You need our help for awhile before you can live on your own." Jeice said.

"How can you help me?"

"Basic training and exercise," came Briona's slightly sinister voice.

"Why should I believe you?"

"We are the only people that can help you. Without us, you will drive yourself crazy, or overpopulate this cursed race." Scarlet added.

"Who are you and what do you want from him!" a new voice yelled.

"I told you we would be expecting company. Now look. Here comes the infamous Yoko Kurama." Briona sneered.

Briona disappeared into the shadows and then reemerged in full kitsune form. She had black ears, a black tail with a silver tip, and inhumanly black eyes.

"After more than 600 years, you don't remember do you?" Briona taunted.

"What?" Kurama asked.

Briona snuck up and struck the red-head in the hip.


Inside his mind


"Let me out!" Yoko commanded.

"Why? So you can terrorize people and stick me in Reikai again?"

"No…just watch and see," Yoko replied vaguely.

"No…not yet and not here…"


Back in reality


"What?" Kurama asked.

Just then, the black kitsune snuck and struck him in the hip.


Inside his mind


"Just let me out before I have to force myself out," Yoko threatened.

"Not here." Kurama retorted.

A new voice appeared in their conversation.

"Since Red here won't let you out, I'll see you in Spirit World, and I will help you with your new pest problem." The voice said.

"Bri, it's so nice to see you after all these years!" Yoko said, with a sincere smile.

"Sure…save it for later…you'll need the sweet talk." Briona retorted.

"Aww…Please?" Yoko begged.

"After more than 600 years, you expect to be forgiven?" Briona snapped.

"But…" Yoko cut in.

"We'll talk later." Briona said, and dissolved out of their mind.


A/N: Like it? There will be a few more characters, and that's it! I only own Scarlet, not even the idea of the story!
