Cold Ice Burning in the Heart

Chapter 7: Sweet Pain

We sat there looking around the crowded bar. Only two members from each of the other gangs had come. Tala, Ray, Max, Tyson, and I had all decided to come, while the others stayed at the base.

"Look, there finally here," Michael from the All Stars stated as everyone who was told to come turned to the door to watch as Kuro and Gin walked in. I smirked to myself noticing that they still wore their animal masks.

"To afraid to show your faces? And, on that matter, your real names?" Ozuma sneered as everyone watched the two take a seat at the end of the table. "The Black Fox, Kuro Kitsune; and the Silver Raven, Gin Karasu," he continued. "Why don't you just tell us your real names?"

"Because it is none of your concern, all you need to know is the information, pay, territory and the deadline. Those four things are all you need to know if you choose to be a member of any gang," Gin said coldly as he easily played with a rather sharp double-edged blade.

"Then how about we stop this chit chat and get down to business. You said we could get information here on Kierra Kitsune," I growled in a cold tone as I stared with an absolute blank face at Kuro and Gin.

"Your right, Kai, I did say that, I also said that there would be a dealing of information here. This bar is filled with cons, x-gang members, assassins, murderers, and of course spies. Today they will open a door over in the far corner of this room,

In that room down the stairs there will be an exchange; you place up important information, money, or territory in order to exchange it for whatever you need. Information, guns, territory, money you name it," she paused and looked around at us.

"But, you can't get in unless you know one of the three passwords, have a sinet name, and of course show them the right symbol," Gin said as he tilted his head to the side slightly. Even though I couldn't see his face I could sense the grin that was across it.

"And how are we going to get all of that!?" Rick yelled as hatred filled his eyes. I looked back at the two also wondering the same thing. Kuro stood up and pulled an envelope out of her pants pocket.

"On these five sheets of paper is one of the three passwords and also each sheet has a different sinet name. Oh and as for the symbol," she reached into her other pocket and pulled out monopoly money. "This is the symbol you need, only two people from each gang may enter," she finished.

Gin got up and handed out the sheets of paper and then gave each of us a five hundred from the monopoly money. He sat back down once everyone had what they needed. I looked at the password and the sinet name on my sheet. 'Bearcats. Jacob II Fishernety. They sure know how to pick strange names.'

"At 9:00 a man will stand in front of that door and give table #1 five minutes to come to the door. If no one from that table goes then they move on to table 2 and so on. That way there's not a huge line and the people unaware of this exchange can't become aware. The monopoly money changes each day and so do the names and passwords," Kuro explained slowly to all of us.

"Once you get your information or whatever it is you want down there then you can just come right back up the stairs and leave. Or you could stick around and party or something, I mean there's a bunch of hot girls in this bar, a lot are party animals and a lot are drunk," Gin said in a taunting voice as he stood up and walked over to the bar, soon followed by Kuro.

"Well then looks like we're table 1," Tyson said looking at the number carved on the underside of the table. The other gangs were 3, 5, 8, and 15. I leaned back and looked at the door in the far corner. As the clock turned 9:00 a man walked out and stood there.

"Ok then who's going to go in with me?" I asked as I looked around the table. I could really care less who went with me. I noticed Tyson drooling over girls at a table three away from ours, Max looking at a candy machine and Tala… and Tala's eyes were fixated on something, or someone.

Slowly I tilted my head and followed his piercing gaze. At the end of it was Kuro over at the bar playing with the same knife Gin had been holding. I looked back at Tala and noticed a glint in his eyes. His entry body was tense. I sighed.

"Ray you're coming with me. Let's get going before our turn to go in is over," I said pulling their attention back on me and the door. Ray and I walked over and after talking with the man at the door we both walked in.

'I can't wait to see what surprises are waiting for us down here.' I thought sarcastically.


I watched as the door closed behind Kai and Ray. I picked up my glass and downed the rest of what was in it. I looked over at Max, who was getting up to head towards a candy machine, and realized that Tyson was already gone; looking around I spotted him flirting with a group of girls.

I turned my attention back to the bar to look at Kuro again, she was no longer there. Scanning the room I managed to catch a glimpse of her heading up the stairs. It crossed my mind that this bar doubled as a hotel as well.

'I wonder if Gin and Kuro are staying here. Then I don't have to worry about tracking them after we get the information we need here.' I thought as I stood up and headed to the stairs. I walked up the stairs and turned to look down the hallway.

At the end of the hallway was a large window overlooking a small park. Sitting on the inside windowsill was Kuro. She was peacefully watching people leave and enter the park. I walked over and stopped a few feet from her.

"Yes? What do you want now?" She asked keeping her gaze out the window. I looked at the back of her head; her silvery gold hair looked just like hers. I grabbed her arm with one swift motion and pulled her into the nearest room. I easily pinned her against the wall.

"I'm positive now. There's no mistake about who you really are. The Black Fox Kuro Kitsune, also known as Kierra Kitsune, or my personal favorite, Kit," I growled looking at her. She froze as I said the last name.

"I don't know what you're talking about. My name is Kuro Kitsune, and that alone," She bitterly stated struggling again to get out of my grip. I looked at her long and hard and then smirked at her.

"Oh really? Then you won't mind if I remove your mask, would you?" I asked as I reached towards the mask, while holding her hands above her head with my other hand. She tried to move away violently but I didn't dare loosen my grip even for a second because I knew if I gave her the chance she'd free herself in a heartbeat.

I pulled the mask off and tossed it to the floor. I looked at her as her gaze stayed down on the floor she held her face away from me. The half of her face I could see, was the same as the girl I had run into at the ally.

"Stop trying to hide your face from me," I said in a much softer tone than before. I tilted her head so that she would be looking straight at me, though her eyes still stayed down. "Kit," she responded by looking up and into my eyes, the same silver specks were in her eyes.

"Why did you lie to us? Why would you change the stories around so much and run from us?" I angrily asked her as I tightened my grip on her wrists. She didn't say anything she just kept looking at me with her beautiful green eyes. "Damn it!" I growled looking away from her eyes.

"Because I only cause trouble for others and get in the way. I bring death to those who befriend me, and I didn't want to see any of you get killed. You're still not stronger than me so you can't beat me you know," She said softly yanking her arms away from my grip and letting them hang loosely at her side.

"SHUT UP! You think that all I want is to beat you!? I could fucking care less about fighting you! I never wanted to beat you, why don't you just realize what I really want!?" I yelled glaring at her and hating myself at the same time. She looked at me with confusion in her eyes.

'I feel hopeless, alone, and like darkness is starting to surround me. I only want one thing right now and that one thing is her.' I thought as I looked at her with the same glint in my eyes as earlier.

"I don't care if you're the enemy of my gang, I don't care if you're our target, I just don't care about any of that," I whispered in rage trying to clear my mind.

My entire body ached as urges rushed around. I couldn't hold it in any longer. With a quick movement I pinned her tighter to the wall with my body as my lips roughly closed unto hers. I enjoyed the blissful moment that the kiss gave off. I could feel her struggling underneath my body but I didn't care.

"Damn you… Damn you for making me want you like this… I feel for you and you don't even realize it… You're so blind to the fact that I want you," I managed to say as my lips roughly slid down her neck and my tongue trailed it as I went back up.

"Stop it Tala!" she managed to say but I sensed something else and my entire body felt so much pain and joy. I wanted more, I wanted to feel her struggle under my entire body, and I wanted to hear her moans.

"No! That month you stayed with us I had to hold in my desires and pretend I felt nothing but now I can't do that anymore! I want you, every part of you," I growled as I effortlessly pulled my shirt off and flung her onto the bed where I pinned her under myself.

I looked at her with lust and allowed a slight smirk to cross my features. "You know from the display of the wall to here I learned something really interesting about you," I stated as I pulled her sweatshirt off, revealing her black tank top.

"And what would that be!?" she managed to gasp as she continued to struggle. I looked at her and bent down so that my mouth was next to her ear.

"You love pain. I noticed every time I used extreme force to hold you down that you shivered with anxiety," I whispered into her ear. Then with strong bites I trailed down her neck and kissed her collar bone. I could sense her holding in the pure enjoyment her body felt.

"You bastard… ah… get off of me," she barely managed to say as she held in a moan. I smiled sweetly at her and shook my head 'no'. Roughly I slid down her body and pushed her shirt up a little and started to kiss around her belly. As I slid back up I pushed hard and roughly between her legs, and kissed her as she gasped. My tongue slid into her month and explored with dominance. As I pulled away she let out a moan.

"You're right. I have been ignoring you because I didn't want to have any bit of emotions towards any of you, I didn't want you or the others to get hurt," she stated as she ceased her struggling. Then a smirk came to her lips as she looked into my eyes. "Oh and your completely right about me. I do love pain. I just really can't help myself."

I grinned at her as I released her arms and slid them around her pulling her into another rough and passionate kiss. Her arms wrapped around my neck, her hands combed through my hair, and then ran her fingers down my back. I looked at her with longing and saw the same longing in her eyes as well.

"Tala make my body quiver under yours. Let me feel the sweet pain of desire," she mumbled as I sat up looking down at her with pure lust, seeing the pleasure in her eyes. I smiled as I reached for my belt buckle whispering a yes to her.
