Eternal Darkness
Chapter 7
Duo walked along the balcony, watching the surging bodies below him, unaware that his friend moved beneath his feet. Duo listened to the music and adjusted his jacket, absently fingering the cross at his neck.
"Shinigami," a young wolf called, "You're up in ten." Duo began heading back toward the back stage area. Suddenly he paused, it was very light, a familiar scent. Duo leapt up onto the balcony railing and scented the air. He smelled the earth scent of werewolves and other shifters, the scent of death left by vampires....wait there...the scent of incense and jasmine, the scent was familiar...he knew it....where did he know it from?
"Alright onna," Wufei growled, annoyance mingling with unease, "I don't see Duo anywhere..."
Blaze turned and looked at him; her eyes seemed to glow....no they WERE glowing. So were a couple other people. Wufei began to back up trying to head for the exit.
"Oh where do you think you are going, sweetness?" She asked; her voice was like poisoned honey, goosebumps formed on his skin. Why was he alarmed? He was safe...he had nothing to fear. He was a mere mortal...prey to a goddess like her...she would be a kind master.....
Suddenly Wufei's thoughts shuddered to a stop. PREY???? MASTER???? Wufei's will surged under the woman's power; the pride that got him into the most trouble came billowing to the surface. Wufei's eyes went wide, his eyes blazed with their own unique fire. He leapt away, simultaneously drawing his knife and slashing at the woman, who had suddenly gotten extremely close.
"No one is my Master!" Wufei snarled, falling into a fighting crouch, all of his senses going into over drive. Blaze blinked in amazement, one pale perfect hand going to her check; it came away red.
She growled; sounding more like a snarling dog then a human, her eyes blazed three individual colors, all clearly visible, dark green, lime green and yellow. She lifted he lips in a snarl; displaying her half-inch long white fangs. Wufei's pulse raced, no one should have freaking teeth like that; and they were growing right before his eyes. A low rumble followed, Wufei glanced around; they were surrounded; and they ALL looked hungry. Wufei suddenly knew, without a doubt, he was going to die. But he was a member of the Dragon Clan, and he would be damned if he went down with out a fight! Non-human or not, Wufei would give these creatures a run for their money. Blaze leapt forward; Wufei faced her an evil smile curling his lips.
Duo crouched on the balcony railing, watching the fight that had broken out on the floor, distracting him from his thoughts. Leaning over to the vampire next to him, "What happened?"
"As far as I can tell," the man replied, "it's Blaze again, sir. SHe lost control of her prey...it's already killed two it seems. And I think it's a human, no less."
A yell from the human split the air. Duo tensed, standing up on the railing to get a better view. That had sounded like Wufei...but it couldn't be? Wufei didn't know where this place was....it couldn't be it? The familiar scent wafted to his nose, incense and jasmine....suddenly he recognized that scent. It was Wufei's scent! Duo caught sight of Blaze's "prey" as a large man pinned him in a corner, holding him tight and exposing his neck. Duo could clearly make out the golden skin, made pale by the lights, and the raven black hair that fell around his face. Wufei. Fury erupted in Duo and without a thought, he leapt into the fray.
Wufei knew he had killed two of his attackers. Not that it helped him now. He struggled in the grip of the man who held him. It was useless; his captor had the strength of ten. Wufei felt his head being forced to the side exposing his neck. He struggled harder, he knew death was coming for him, he could sense it. Blaze stepped forward, smiling sweetly; she leaned forward as if to kiss his neck. Wufei closed his eyes, resigning to the fact that he had lost.
Suddenly there was an outraged shriek and Blaze's presence was ripped away. Wufei's eyes snapped open. Another of the creatures attacked the man whom had thrown Blaze aside; its head disappeared in a spray of red. The arms around him tightened, Wufei couldn't breath! A figure came into view; dressed in tight black clothing; Wufei could barely make out what appeared to be a braid swinging at his back. The man's eyes were glowing, just like those Wufei had just fought; midnight blue, violet and silver all swirled together. The man walked forward with confidence; the arms tightened again.
"He's mine, Shinigami!" the man holding him snarled.
"Not if I can help it." The one called Shinigami stated, "You know the law here, you can not take a human if they are not willing."
"I claim him!" the man snarled in return.
"Release him." Shinigami stated, his voice deadpan, yet there was a unspoken threat that hung in the air. The man holding Wufei backed up again, coming up against the wall. Wufei felt the man shake his head.
"Release. Him. Jager." Shinigami repeated.
"NO!!!!!" Shinigami moved faster the Wufei could follow; his clawed hand shot past Wufei's face and wrapped around Jagar's throat. Wufei felt his feet leave the ground as Shinigami picked them both up by Jagar's throat. Wufei looked at Shinigami's face, suddenly what little breath he had caught in his throat.
Duo.
There was no mistaking that face, now that the shadows weren't hiding it. If Duo noticed Wufei's stare, he ignored it, instead he smiled displaying his teeth in a feral grin.
The arms around Wufei loosened and then let go completely. Wufei tumbled to the floor. Carefully holding his wounded arm, he scrambled to his feet; blood ran freely from his arm where a set of claws had caught him. Shinigami dropped Jagar; then he deliberately turned his back on the man and moved toward Wufei.
"Jagar called him Shinigami! You can't take him!" Blaze yelled her yellow-green eyes full of fire. Shinigami merely looked at her.
"I revoke my claim," Jagar said, still kneeling on the floor. If Blaze wished to challenge Death itself then so be it. He didn't want anything to do with it; he did not have a death wish.
"Then I claim him!" Blaze snarled, annoyed by Jagar's apparent cowardice.
"Are you challenging me Blaze?" Shinigami asked; his voice was low and soft, almost a whisper. Instantly the crowd surged away from Blaze and Shinigami; a circle formed around the two fighters. Someone grabbed Wufei and dragged him to the side.
"I challenge you Shinigami for the claim of that human!"
Shinigami smiled, "As you wish, I accept the challenge over the claim to the human, Chang Wufei."
dun dun duuuunnnnnnn......
