Authors Notes: Sorry this took FOREVER. I had a sever case of writers block, and was also lacking inspiration. Here it is, this is a lot longer then the chapters before, which may or may not be a good thing . . . oh well. Read and review, enjoy. Amelda-kun
Jounouchi lay on the bed quietly staring at his favorite card, the Red-Eyes-Black-Dragon. Both maids had left the room hours ago. As he looked deeper into the card and it's meaning something hit him. The Mrs. had red eyes and black colored hair; this struck him as a weird coincidence.
"How did I not notice that before? Heh, she's like a living red-eyes. Maybe that's why she makes me feel so uneasy, but then again, her eyes are rather scary looking. You just don't see someone with red eyes everyday. It's weird but cool I guess." he thought as he placed the card in his pocket.
He rolled over onto his side and stared out the large window. The sky had began to darken, night was coming upon the area. He saw the very first stars forming in the darkness.
"Now I know exactly what that small pain was that I felt when I carried her to my apartment, . . . I can't believe she drugged me like that. . . she's so weird, yet she's trying to protect me from something that I couldn't protect myself from. . . her heart is in the right place I guess." he wispered aloud.
Jounouchi rolled around a few more times. He didn't like this place, he felt as if he was being watched all the time. He found himself staring at the white ceiling. He attempted to sit up, but he couldn't, he felt weak and tired.
The youngest of the maids entered the room and found Jounouchi lying on the bed with his eyes closed. She then took a seat in one of the chairs in the room. It was her job to watch Jounouchi, to make sure he wasn't in any danger. He rolled over and was surprised to see the maid in the room again.
"My, I thought you were asleep! You startled me a bit, . . . is there anything I can get you? Do you need anything at all?" she asked him.
"No, I'm just real tired, that's all ..." he explained.
"I see, well I'll be right here if you need anything at all . . ."she told him with a smile.
He nodded and turned his back to her. He didn't enjoy being watched like this.
Jounouchi closed his eyes.
"Lyu'ov'! The Mrs. needs your assistance! Come with me quickly!" Jounouchi heard the eldest maid say. The door was shut quietly.
Jounouchi lay there falling further and further into a deep slumber. He finally felt the ability to sleep now that he was alone.
"Finally , he's gone to sleep. . . just a bit longer . . ."
The female sitting in the tree removed the binoculars from her eyes and smirked.
"Didn't get the point, did ya bitch? . . .Heh, you don't play with this shit ..." she said aiming her pistol at the window. The young woman placed the gun in it's holder on her belt. She took a cigarette out of her pocket and lit it up, waiting for the right moment.
As she waited watching the window her cellular phone startled her.
"Fuck off, I'm on business .. ." she said to the person on the other line.
"Watch it little lady, your grandfather wants you to finish her off tonight, and everyone in the house, he doesn't want any witnesses."
"Whatever, I'll do it, I guess." she replied.
"You'd better, or old pops is gonna pop a cap in your ass. . ."
She rolled her eyes at his remark.
"Whatever . . ." she said as she hung up.
The young woman turned her cell phone off and placed it in her pocket.
She returned to watching the window.
"Can't believe she'd get involved with a teenager . . . guess when your desperate you'll take about just anything, but still sick . .." she thought.
After the young woman sat in the tree for nearly an hour she stood up.
"Note to self, . ..don't wear a leather cat suit when your going to pull a long job ..." she mumbled as she placed the binoculars in a small container on her belt. She took a deep breath and made sure the rope she had tied to the tree earlier was secure. She tied her red hair into a ponytail and took hold of the rope jumping out of the tree towards Jounouchi's window. She was able to make it to the windowsill. She released the rope from her grip and in one motion broke through the window.
Jounouchi jumped out of the bed the moment the window was broken through. He stared in shock at the young woman before him.
"Don't move, don't speak . . ." she said aiming her pistol at him.
Jounouchi stood there shakily, doing exactly what she told him.
"You sit down on the bed, NOW!" she shouted.
As he began to sit down the bedroom door burst open. The three maids stood in the doorway with large uzi guns in hand.
"Reach for the sky! Don't you touch him!" Nadyezhyea screamed.
She grabbed Jounouchi and held the pistol to his temple.
"Back off bitch, I'll pull the trigger if you come any closer!" she shouted jabbing the weapon into Jounouchi's head.
"Leave him out of this! Don't involve him!" the Mrs. shouted entering the room with a pistol in her own hand.
The red head threw Jounouchi to the floor below her.
"It's been such a long time . .." she smirked.
The Mrs. motioned for the maids to leave the room.
"Arancione, . . .you little bitch, you had the nerve to show up here . . ." the Mrs. said.
The young woman chuckled.
"I came to finish you off . . ." she said with a smile.
"Let fate decide whom will live . . ." she replied.
Both women took aim at each other.
"Time to take you out." Arancione said.
