Call To Darkness: The Assassins' Story

Chapter 13: Bar Fighters Guild

(Ebony helped me out brain storming this so I thank her. Well Sister mine you got your wish and you'll laugh your ass off.)

Lucian was walking the dark streets of Halo city. His coat swished back and forth in the chilled breeze. You could tell summer was fading by the chill in the air. It didn't bother this devil in the least. The cold reminded him that he wasn't always a devil. Yes, he remembered now that Anna had gotten her memories back and in turn so did he and Ebony. It pissed him off. To think it was her fault that they were changed in the first place.
The bar Makai's Gate stood before him in all of its dark glory. The first word was always suspected as someone's name but he knew differently. That's what drew him here. He was determined to fight if it meant loosing everything he had. The bar wasn't very crowded as of yet but he knew that would change in a few hours. That's what he wanted. Entering the bar he sat on a bar stool and looked around. There were only a few humans in this place. No devils yet.
What do yah want Mister? the bar tender asked.
Tequila on the rocks.

He put a few cubes in a shot glass and poured some tequila in it.
The bar tender knew that he was a devil that's why he didn't ask for an i.d. He carefully sipped the clear liquid. (normally with shots you throw them back. Lucian's never drank before.) The liquid burned his throat but warmed his stomach up. The people started to come in two and threes at a time. All the devils around him were making him nervous a small bit. At this point however he was ready to kick some ass.
Suddenly his senses went on high alert as he felt two different aura than what was already in this place. He ignored it when he saw a cloaked figure and a man with long black hair enter the bar and sit down in a booth to chat. They were talking about nothing at the moment. The conversation started turning when a deviless slide up to sit next to him.
Hello handsome, she purred. Never seen you around before.
I'm just visiting, he said absently.
You wanna have some fun before you go back?
He thought he heard a deep threatening growl come from the back at the mention of that. The deviless couldn't take the hint.
Miss I don't want your attention.
Awe come on, she whined as she ran her hand up his knee and headed for the inside of his thigh.
Get away from me before I send you back to hell where you belong.
He pushed her hand away from his body.
You meany.
So what? he growled. I told you in the nicest way possible to get lost and you couldn't take the hint.
Is there a problem here? one of the big bouncers asked.
No, problem if this whore would leave me along, he growled as he stood up.
He threw money on the bar and was about to leave when the bouncer stood in his path. Lucian looked up.
What do you want ugly?
Why you?
The bouncer went for him but on got his coat. The two guns were in their holsters at his side. Every devil backed up slightly from him. Looking around he knew he was surrounded. Many of the devils advanced knowing what he was.
Devil hunter, some hissed.
by others.
You all got a problem? I'll take you all on.
He drew his guns and aimed them towards the devils. They weren't afraid they knew there was only so many bullets he'd fire before he was out. Many leapt forward and tackled him backwards and they dog piled him. The cloaked figure stared on with interest.
Should we help him?
He is a future Dragon Master King, the long haired man said.
Why do you insist on saying that?
Because its true.
A little help here, Lucian gasped out.
That decided them just then both leapt into the fray. They managed to get the bleeding half devil from underneath the pile only to have the idiot launch right back into it.
We tried.
You're not wanted here vampire! one devil hissed. And the same goes for you were beast.
Well we didn't ask you anyway, the vampire snarled.
The bar turned into utter chaos as everyone fought everyone else. Finally two figures came out.
Wait, where's Lucian?
I'll go back, the cloaked figure snapped.
Turning the cloaked figure dove back in the fray and dragged Lucian out. The devil was covered in blood. He wasn't Dante in a long shot so he wasn't healing as fast as he should of been.
You okay Lucian? the cloak figure asked.
Do I know you? he asked as he hiccuped.
What the hell were you drinking?
I thought Tequila.

She threw back her hood to reveal a very pissed Selena.
On it.
He picked the devil up and transformed. Selena hauled herself up on her partners back and they winged back to her mansion.

Elsewhere...

Ebony sat on the couch board out of her marbles. There was nothing to do. The boys were sleeping with their girlfriends or mates, whatever they called each other. Lucian was out stirring up trouble.
Good that boy needs to get laid.
Say what?
Ebony whipped up to see Anna hobbling down the stair. Her body was still weak.
I said that Lucian needs to get laid in order to loosen up, she said bluntly.
This coming from a virgin.
Ebony only shrugged it off.
I haven't found the right guy. You shouldn't be up.
Without anymore words Ebony got up and helped Anna.So what brings out of bed?
Her stomach rumbled demanding food. It was her son that had waken her but it was the gnawing in her stomach that told her she needed to eat soon.
To the kitchen, Robin.
You've seen the old Batman to many times, Anna commented.
(this is real old school Batman where they have the pow kaboom and stuff on the screen. I thought that was the funniest thing.)
So what?
She helped Anna sit down on the stool. Turning she went to investigate the fridge carefully with her dagger ready. God only knew what was in there. The light inside clicked on to reveal next to nothing in the fridge.
Ebony growled.
He didn't expect me to stay here Ebony I was staying with Selena.
Well there are a few eggs, a block of cheese, some milk, and some OJ.
Breakfast okay with you even though its dinner time?

(this has been dinner at Ebony's house on more than one occasion. She makes the best cheesy eggs)
Ebony set to work cooking up breakfast/dinner. Anna focused her mind. She had felt a disturbance with Selena and it worried her. Then the shock of her life made her tumble over.
What is it Anna?
You got your wish your brother is getting laid.
She spit the OJ in her mouth all over the counter.

He's finally made it with his mate.
Ebony turned back to cooking and served the breakfast to the starved were dragon. Sitting down on the bar stool and putting her head down she began to laugh uncontrollably.
I've done it now. I've created a laughing fiend.

Back with Lucian... arriving at Selena's mansion.

Lucian was less then sober.
What were you doing at Hell's Gate?
(okay if you haven't figured it out Makai means hell in Japan. I used one of the words that looked like a name. Cool huh?)

That was the wrong place to do it. That is the home Guild for Devil Fighters, Selena growled. Take off your shirt.
He did as he was told not even thinking to say anything perverted. There were cuts all over his body. Her cold hands touched his skin causing him to gasp.


Shadow had vanished long ago. Getting out the bandages she began to patch the wounded hunter up. What ever... Then she realized what was in that Tequila it was holy water. That's why his cuts weren't healing so fast. Turning away for a moment she felt warm hands run over her ass. Swinging around she was about to hit him but his hand caught hers.
My reflexes haven't slowed down, Selena.
Lucian let me go or I'll kill you.
I'd like to see you try.
He pulled her forward until she was sitting on his lap. With a gentleness he never knew he had he began to love bite and nip at her throat. It drew a startled moan from the vampire. The bandages fell from her finger and she dug her finger into his dark hair.
she breathed.
You're mine, he growled.
Some part of him was willing this to stop but the other side wanted this more than words could be said. A low purr/growl escaped her as they became more frenzied in their love making. After their passion was spent they had their share of bruises and bite marks all over their bodies. Selena made the mistake of almost taking his blood. Lucian wouldn't let her he didn't know how she'd react to his blood. The two new lovers drifted to sleep together.

(Okay, Deep Sigh. This chapter had help from Ebony. I was stumped and she helped me out thanks millions sister mine.)
