Mm, I can't seem to match my first chapter's word count. -Shrugs- I was going to continue on with this chapter and make it longer but I kept putting it off throughout the day. My head is killing me and it's seriously messing with my concentration. -Laughs-
He walked down a darkened street in Tokyo, Japan, head bowed slightly, his mind on two people. They had to be eliminated, especially the female. If the male traveling with her decided to put up a fight, he would have to be taken down as well. Robin Sena and Amon of the Japanese division of Solomon had caused quite a mess a little over a month ago, being right in the middle of everything. All of the other hunters had gotten out alive but those two...they didn't show up afterwards, not alive, not dead. It was his belief, and the growing belief of others, that they were still alive.
Word was, that Robin Sena wasn't your typical witch. She was, supposedly, stronger and that's not all, no. She was the "Eve", she was to bring on an entire race of witches superior to that of humans. That much he had heard spoken of but the fine details were still hidden. No matter, if she was indeed the Eve, she should be eliminated, if not, one more witch's death would make no difference.
Upon reaching a dark building that looked abandoned, he knocked quietly on the door. The door then opened slightly and a pair of dark brown eyes could be seen.
"Ah, it's you Kaden, come in, I was getting worried."
"You needn't worry, Gabriel, I'm on time."
"Yes, I know sir, I was just worried."
The man named Kaden pushed past the younger man, not giving him a second glance. Kaden was a man of about 47, brown hair with grey here and there. He was tall and powerful, a hunter who had no time for triviality. He knew the job had to be done quickly as Solomon hadn't given out the order for a hunt or even a tracking of them...and those who thought that was a shaky plan sought to destroy them, wanting to make sure that they wouldn't pay for letting them live later. It was only a matter of time before Solomon would take action and they weren't sure they would see their side of things.
"Alec, how are things?" He asked the man sitting before him, covered in the darkness of the room. This man was to be their leader, the one who got them together, the one who stepped up first. He was about 26, younger than Kaden but still stronger. He was very intelligent and mature, a born leader. Kaden had no problem with following his orders.
"As good as can be expected. We need to get things going as soon as possible, we have yet to make a move. It's taking too long." He said in a smooth, young voice.
Looking around, Kaden saw several others. Alec, seeing Kaden's gaze shifting from person to person, began to speak.
"Ah, and the others. We have a relatively small number of hunters willing to help that I trust but they should do. Catherine, on my right..." as he said her name, Kaden nodded to her politely. She was a woman of about 45, with years of hunting experience. "Ebony, standing over by the wall..."he then looked to the young woman, who seemed to be about 23. "Hart on my left" to whom Kaden glanced "and Ryu, standing by Gabriel by the door..." Kaden also nodded to Ryu, who appeared to be in his early thirties.
Counting them in his head, he asked "Just seven of us?"
Nodding his head yes, Alec explained "The seven of us...we know these two shouldn't be left to live. We all are willing to give our lives to take them out and I trust each and every one of these people."
Kaden shook his head yes in understandingand continued, "Well, where do we stand?"
"We have an idea of where they are. Amon, the man she is traveling with...he has an older half brother named Shunji Nagira. This Nagira...he helps witches. He supposedly has quite a few contacts, it would only be logical that they went to him."
"So what do we do?"Kaden asked, waiting for some type of order.
"We hunt them. Gabriel, you'll be the first go, kill them. They should be no problem. Here is his brother's address."
"Yes sir." Gabriel said walking towards Alec to get Nagira's address. He bowed and then went straight for the door, determined to be the one to kill Robin and Amon.
"Alright, I'll see you two later." Nagira said as they walked outside to Amon's car.
Amon just nodded but Robin felt this strange...pain...in her chest. She didn't really want to leave Nagira again. She walked up to him and give him another big hug, trying not to cry.
"Hey kid, no tears alright? I'll see you again, I promise." Nagira smiled down at her, hiding the pain he was feeling as well. He loved Robin...and Amon. Amon was family and Robin was like family. But he had to let them go...he, however, did not let go of the hope that one day they would be free. The day when they could settle down and live a normal life...the day Amon felt safe enough to finally tell Robin how he felt so they could be together, both finally happy.
Releasing Robin and stepping back he caught his brother's eye. "You be careful now, no driving like a maniac." Amon just shook his head slightly and smiled...a small smile, just a slight upturning of the corners of his mouth. He then got in his car and waited for Robin to join him. Seeing this, Robin gave Nagira another small smile, then a wave, and got in the car as well.
As they pulled out, they never noticed the young man on a motorcycle parked in an alley, watching. As soon as Nagira went inside, Gabriel pulled out and followed Amon and Robin to wherever it was they were going.
"She doesn't look so tough and I bet that guy isn't as tough as he looks." Gabriel thought to himself. He followed them for about 35 minutes before...
"Someone is following us..." Amon said, his voice even more serious than usual. Robin tried to turn around to look but Amon reached out and pulled her back into her seat. "No, don't look..."
It was then that he decided to pull over. If the guy was really following them...hunting them...he would stop, if not, he would continue on. Anyways, now was a perfect time for him to attack...
Like I first said, I wanted to continue but my headache won't let me. Anyways, new characters...yeah, they were a pain. First, I couldn't find the right names, I kept going through name after name...-Sighs- Kaden was hard...I didn't know if I liked it or not but at about 3:15 in the morning, the name thing had hung me up long enough and I was tired of it. -Laughs-
Basically, they all have meanings but not all apply to the characters or have any real connections...most, at this point, are ironic names...you should pick up on them rather quickly.
Alec means Protector of Men
Gabriel means Hero of God
Kaden means Fighter
Hart means Deer or Stag
Catherine means Pure, Virginal
Ebony means Dark Strength
Ryu means Dragon
