K So I decided to upload this chapter really fast so people could get a better feel for the story enjoy...
They were right when they proclaimed demons dangerous, but in banning them, they took away the guilt of killing the innocent, and that was their biggest mistake.
……….
Jade dialed the number of her trainer; she usually was never late and wished to save him some worry.
"Good morning how may I help you?"
"Hi this is Jade Sung calling could you tell Mr.- MMPH"
"Hello?... Hello? ….. Ms. Sung are you there?"
Two strong arms enclosed Jade in a tight and harsh embrace, and pulled her from the suns rays into the darkness of the nearest alleyway.
"Well, well, well what a gorgeous little specimen" A deep voice rasped in her ear. The mans hot breath sent shivers down her back making the hair at the nape of her neck stand on end.
Jade trembled as the ice cold hands of fear pulled her into its clutches. She fought it desperately, she had once been called a warrior woman, the strongest woman a person had ever known. She had promised that person that she would live her life to the fullest and prosper, and then once life had been lived, she would grow old, and die a peaceful death. It was a promise she had made to a loved one, and as god as her witness, she would keep it!
Her mind cleared, her blood slowed, her muscles relaxed, all went calm. No she would not give in without a fight!
"I don't like this; she's going way too easy on him"
"Maybe he's just too strong for her, or maybe she's in shook"
"Monk is only human….. She's baiting him"
"How would you know that?"
"Call it woman intuition…….. 'Boss, permission to interfere, I think Monks being lured in by her'"
"I think you're right, go ahead Slayer I'll be right behind you; Night Fox stay at your post"
Slayer jumped down from the fire escape, her long leather jacket flying out behind her, as she walked casually to Monks aid.
Goth, fallowed suit, yet remained in complete shadow.
A white light suddenly illuminated the alleyway, taking all four Gang members by surprise. Goth was forced to throw up an arm in defense of the blinding light. "Goth, Monks down! I repeat Monks down! Slayer do something she's getting away!" Slayer sprang into action, her arm reached out and caught the woman by the shoulder before she could flee, but the woman had other plans, in one swift motion, she had Slayers arm in a painful twist behind her back, bringing the black clad woman to her knees in anguish. That was all the motivation Goth needed, with god like speed and strength he made quick, work of the woman, and watched as she fell to the ground unconscious.
"Are you ok?"
Slayer rubbed her shoulder as she rotated it, making sure nothing had been dislocated "fuck" she growled, as she got to her feet and proceeded forward to check on the Monk.
Goth turned to gaze at the unconscious girl, his breath catching in his throat. The red wig and hat lay in a heap two feet from her head, leaving her Raven black hair wild and free, her skin was ivory white, with a slight reddening at the cheeks, her lashes thick and black, and her lips a suppliant pink. She looked so week and helpless, giving him a strong urge to protect her, an urge which he dismissed, but her features struck a cored in his memory, he knew her, but from were was the question.
"Shall I do the honors boss?"
Goth shook his head "No this woman fascinates me, we'll bring her back to headquarters"
Slayer nodded and moved to pick up the woman, but Goth stretched out a hand to stop her "No you take Monk, in the van and get back to headquarters as soon as possible, I'll take her through the abandon subway and meet you there, tell night fox to inform my brother the situation has been dealt with"
Slayer nodded and with Night Foxs help, hoisted their fallen companion off the ground and carried him away.
Goth lifted the girl gently from the ground, carefully he dragged his claw across her caller bone drawing blood instantly, and with it he drew an X on the ground, to let the police know what had transpired here.
Then with no further ado he jumped sky ward and was gone without a trace.
………
Jade groaned and attempted to lift a hand to locate the throbbing bump, that graced the back of her head, yet halfway through its journey her hand was jerked to a stop, she opened her eyes and gasped in horror, she was chained to a table.
Instantly Jade took in her surroundings, she stared particularly hard at the corner at the far end of the room, from what she gathered she had been left alone. Not wanting to wait and see what exactly her captors had in store, Jade sent a blast of hot energy into the chains that bound her, liquid pain instantly shot through her body making her gasp and groan in anguish.
"Its no use, miko" a strong deep voice spoke from the dark corner of the room. So she hadn't been left alone after all. "Those chains have a spell on them, so don't even think of using your power"
"What do you want?" she asked glaring into the darkened corner.
"Your name"
The answer surprised Jade and she blinked in confusion "I would have thought being my captor you would have already guessed my name"
"Tell me your name now woman! Your real name"
If it was true that this man didn't know her identity, then Jade was far from the decision to reveal that she was famous "Its Kiki Hitie" Instantly pain shot through her body, and Jade gasped in terrified shook once again.
"You lie"
Her body went limp after the shook of such extreme pain, her head lolling to the side.
"Your name"
"Its Jade, Jade Sung" She spoke in a week voice.
There was silence before he spoke again "You Lie" it was almost a whisper but she heard it and her heart jumped into her throat before the pain came for the third time.
"Tell me your name, your birth name!" The man yelled over her shrikes.
"It's Kagome, Kagome Higurashi!" Instantly the pain stopped and Kagome fell unconscious.
The man remained motionless, his thoughts spinning, the name the woman had uttered in her state of anguish had disturbed him, deeply.
It was not true, he would not believe it, he could not believe it, pain such as he had not felt in many years suddenly overwhelmed him, and he fought it back desperately.
He was Goth god dam it! Second in command and part of the demonic four, he would not yield to such stupid emotions ever again! Nor would he believe that the woman before him was who she clamed to be. It was a lie it had to be!
His gaze traced her form. Silently he slipped out of the shadows and approached the table were the woman lay sprawled before him. His gaze took in her long thick ebony hair that spread unbound, lusciously across the table, the soft white skin, her tempting lips, and her shapely form. She was a woman built to outshine a goddess, a beauty that would turn even the purist of hearts to lustful sin.
'It's not her' he convinced himself; but it was a lie, and no matter what, he couldn't bring himself to believe it. For he had looked into her eyes, as they searched the darkness were he had been hidden, content in watching her. He had witnessed that powerful gaze, that searing intelligence, that startling green, that undying intensity, that fiery passion. They were the windows that lead to her soul. Those eyes, those piercing eyes that had haunted him these past long years.
He'd have recognized them anywhere for they belonged to his angle, his light, his savior…. His, Kagome.
