Cold Ice Burning in the Heart

Chapter 6: Friends And Online Chats

I sat there, my eyes just looking into his not saying anything. He was pissed beyond reason, his eyes showing his anger, and the sound of his teeth grinding together. He continued to look straight into my eyes.

The blade in his hand dug into the wall even more as he pushed harder. He had smashed the blade into the wall right next to my head instead of killing me. He was leaning right over me glaring even harder.

"Why?" I asked softly slightly tilting my head towards the blade so that I could look at it. "Why didn't you just kill me? That is what you wanted, isn't it?"

"Shut up," he growled as his eyes looked to the side angrily as he started contemplating something in his mind. His grip on the blade tightened more the wall starting to get a larger crack in it.

I signed and placed my hand on his shoulder and pushed him back as I stood up. I looked at him with disappointed eyes. I took a deep breath as I closed my eyes for a second then looked back at him.

"You are weak for not being able to finish me off like you wanted too. You let emotions into your eyes and at the last second stopped in fear. You trusted me too much and became my friend, get stronger if you ever wish to beat me in a fight," I said coldly.

'This is so harsh but it's the only way. I can't have him or any of the others having feelings towards me as a friend or anything remotely close to a friend. Only the other four Koi Senshi's can be close to me.'

"I'm truly sorry about this Tala but this must be done," within a second of finishing my sentence I had moved right in front of Tala and easily hit him hard in the stomach and head knocking him out.

I looked at him then quickly and swiftly left the building and headed towards a place to stay for the night. "Just my luck, it decided to rain just for me," I growled as the rain started to slowly come down.

After about ten minutes of running through the damp and dark alleys I stopped in front of a small motel. It was pretty run down but it was better than standing around in the rain. I went in and quickly got a room.

"Just how I left it," I said with a smile as I walked into a fairly clean room. Clothes were littered around the room, the bed wasn't made, and piles of papers were around and on top of a desk that was in the far corner. I turned around quickly as I felt a presence at the door.

"Don't worry no one's been in your room. Everything's untouched, and all of your equipment is under your bed and in your closet still," a boy will long teal blue hair said standing at the door.

"Zeo it's good to see your face again. I've been gone for more than three years yet you still look like your same old self," I said with a grin, he smiled back at me and walked over to my bed and sat down.

"Kierra a lots happened since you've been gone. Both Mystel and Kane have disappeared, and I still haven't received any word from Brooklyn. The gang powers are all uneven causing a lot of different gang wars; also the higher ups have been doing a lot of conspiracy with others making the jobs for gangs a whole hell of a lot more dangerous. All the territories have been changed as well and there is no more order in the gang society. You have a lot of work to do Kierra," Zeo finish as he stood up and walked out.

"There are loads of files you need to check out on the computer," he yelled as he rounded the corner. I sat there trying to let everything he just said sink in. I stood up and pressed a couple of numbers into a keypad. Three large computers screens appeared in the wall along with other high-tech looking stuff.

"Well now this is new. I guess I should go through all of these files. And I'll start with this video one seeing as it was sent just about thirty minutes ago," I said going through everything on my desktop. The video file was for all gangs taking on the Kierra Kitsune job.

"Well now they're going to have a video conference with all of these listed gangs this afternoon and I think I'll join, as my Koi Senshi name, The Black Fox Kuro Kitsune." I smiled as I started organizing the other stuff I had.

"Owww, my head," I groaned as I sat up slowly. I looked around the darkened room as I tried to remember what had happened, everything rushed back through my mind. "Damn it! I screwed up and didn't capture or kill the spy."

I stood up slowly then looked at the spot in the wall where Kit had been sitting. Quickly I left the building and started to walk along the streets as the rain started to get stronger and stronger. After about thirty minutes I entered a large building and quickly went through doors and hallways until I was stopped at a door with a keypad, and identification scanner.

"Tala. Current age 18. Vengeance," I said into the screen. After a couple seconds the light flashed green and the large metal doors opened. I walked in and looked around seeing the rest of the gang already there.

"Tala! Where have you been? Hey, Nilus said you had a prisoner with you," Tyson yelled jumping in front of me as I walked by him. He followed me as I slowly headed towards the others who were seated at the table in the center of the room.

"What happened, Tala?" Kai coldly asked as I took a seat at the opposite end from him. I tried to ignore him as I looked at the folder in front of me. Taking a small peek up I caught Kai's sharp glare. I released a small sigh as I looked up fully at everyone at the table.

Hiro was to the right of me, next to Bryan, then Spencer, Ray, Max, Masika, Kai, followed by Talina, Akari, Nilus, Hilary, Daichi, Kenny, then Tyson sitting right on my other side.

"I was knocked out and when I woke up she was gone. So how about we change subjects," I commanded more than I asked. Gently and slowly I looked at all of my friends around the table waiting for one of them to start speaking up.

"Ahem, there has been a notice sent out to all of the gangs taking on the Kierra Kitsune job. It seems the one who is looking for her wants to have a video conference this afternoon to make things clearer and to pass along some information to us," Nilus said in a stern tone as he looked through the folder.

Later That Day:

(Third Person)

Multiple screens were set around a table so that on each screen was a different gang, in the center screen was a man who had called for the meeting. Up to nine screens were around each table at all of the different gang headquarters with the main gang members standing behind their leader.

"I've called you five gangs concerning the job that I have requested. As you all know I wish to have the girl Kierra Kitsune brought to me dead or alive with a high reward. Unfortunately she is a very clever girl and has made it rather hard to find her. So that I may know who is in charge of each group may each gang leader speak their name?" The cold voice spoke his face hidden in the shadows on the monitor.

"Kai of the Black Blade Assassins," Came from the first screen. "Ozuma of the Saint Shields," was the second screen. "Rick of the All Stars," third screen. "Lee of the White Tigers," fourth screen. "Robert of the Majestics," came from the fifth screen and the other screens were currently blank.

"It seems that the top gangs in the world are the ones very interested in my job," The cold voice sneered from the monitor. "Kierra Kitsune is a highly skilled fighter and holds unbelievable potential as a fighter. If left alone she might get brought in by the wrong people and become a great threat to this world as we know it. So it is important to bring her in or to eliminate her, is that understood?" Yes's were heard from all of the screens.

"Well it looks like I've missed the beginning of this meeting, how unfortunate," The voice rang through the rooms as a seventh screen opened up. On the screen was a girl sitting at a table wearing all black and a black fox mask concealing her face. Standing beside her was a male wearing all silver with a silver raven's mask and a couple of silver feathers in his long teal braid.

"Hey who do you think you are!? This is a private meeting between us five gangs and this man hiring us for a job," Johnny from the Majestics yelled glaring into the screen at the newly opened screen. There was a faint laugh from the two new comers as everyone waited for them to speak.

"I'm The Black Fox, and this is The Silver Raven. We're aloud in any conference concerning gangs or street related activities. We control most of what happens, but you could say we've been taking a little break lately," The female said looking at each of the different monitors.

"The Koi Senshi's I presume? Kuro Kitsune and Gin Karasu. I thought you all were dismantled and separated; well it seems that most of your gang is gone. This is a meeting regarding the job I need done. There's a high reward for whoever can bring me Kierra Kitsune," The man once again said.

"Oh really? That's rather interesting," The male standing next to the girl said as the two seemed to be sharing their own inside joke. Gently the talk continued on for a couple of hours finally ending with The Black Fox saying that they could get great information at a gang corner in Greece.

"Well isn't this a pleasant surprise. The Koi Senshi's are back together and involved in my special little job. Now I won't have to worry about finding them all and capturing them," I cackled as I looked down on my factory as I watched many young men training and practicing.

"Is there anything you need done? I'm sure one of the gangs will catch the girl for us, and I believe we can ask for a public meeting with the Koi Senshi's, after all they need to make sure there's a balance in power," Boris said with a twisted grin crossing his face. I nodded my head with a sick smile and continued to stare out at my growing power.

"That was fun! We haven't had a video conference since you left, anyways how'd you get your natural hair color back?" I asked looking at Kierra's now once again golden silver hair, and then also noticed that she had taken the contacts out to reveal her eyes again.

"I used a bottle dye so all I had to do was take a shower and scrub real hard and it goes right back to normal!" She said with a cheery grin. She looked slightly insane at the moment. I shook my head smirking.

"Why did you tell them where to get information on you? That didn't seem really smart Kierra," I said looking at her as I fingered through a stack of papers at the table.

"You'll see Zeo. Very soon you will know why I told them where to go," She said giving me a sly grin with a devilish look in her eyes. 'I wonder what she is planning in that head of her's.'
