Me: here's the next chapter of Ice Heart. I hope u enjoy it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Gravitation. I only own Aoshi and Splinter and other characters that no one has heard of.
"Something's wrong," Aoshi stated to himself as he walked down the street. The pale moonlight shined down on him as he ran towards the place where he was getting this feeling. When he stopped, he was in front of the house that Shuichi was at while disguised as a human. "What happened to him?" he whispered. He looked up to the window that had a light inside of it before leaping towards it. He landed on the frame of it, thankfully it was open, to see Shuichi leaning against the wall with a distressed look carried by his face. Aoshi slipped in, surprised that Shuichi didn't look at him, but continued to stare off into space. He lowered himself to the point that he was equal with Shuichi. He waved his hand in front of the hybrid's face, snapping the teenager out of his trance. Shuichi's eyes went wide before looking at Aoshi.
"Aoshi?" his quiet voice emitted from his mouth. Aoshi nodded before getting trapped in a tight embrace thanks to Shuichi.
"What happened to you?" he asked as he held the younger fox demon to him. Shuichi's reply was mumbled, but Aoshi caught it. "Why did you allow it?" Aoshi's harsh voice asked. Shuichi knew Aoshi was mad at him, but not as mad as he was at the ones who caused it.
"I don't know," Shuichi lied. "It was unexpected." Thankfully for Shuichi, Aoshi wasn't very good at catching lies.
Aoshi was silent for a second before pushing Shuichi off of him. "Listen, go to one of your human friend's place. I need to take care of a few things." Shuichi nodded before Aoshi stood and jumped out the window. "Now, where to find those bastards?" While Aoshi was searching, Shuichi had got a few things before going out the door and headed towards Hiro's place. He collapsed before he even made it to the door, but he was close enough. Aoshi had searched for two days for the humans that hurt Shuichi with no luck, until day three came around.
He spotted someone with black hair and brown eyes. The thing about this guy was the faint scent of Shuichi that was attached to him. Aoshi called a few of the other fox demons in his gang before he followed the human around. When they got to him and asked what was up, Aoshi smirked before saying, "You see that human up ahead?" They nodded. "That human hurt Ice Heart. Had him raped. We aren't going to let him get away with that now, are we?" His smirk got larger when he saw fangs being revealed directed towards the human. He even heard a few growls. "Now, shall he be punished?" They all nodded their heads while bearing their fangs and growling dangerously. Even if they didn't get close to Shuichi out of fear of Aoshi, they were all protective of him at times.
They all followed him quietly, until the human stopped and turned around. They all were hidden, so he didn't see any of them, but he turned and walked into an alley. He knew someone or something was following him, he just didn't know who or what. Apparently, it was a bad move for him to go into the alley because the other end had a fence blocking the exit. "I knew humans were stupid, but this is ridiculous," someone behind him stated, making the human turn around.
"Who are you?" he asked. "What do you want?!"
"You are Taki from the band ASK, am I right?"
"And if I am?"
"Well, a little foxy told me that you had some things done to our companion, Ice Heart. We can't allow that to pass without some kind of punishment. But first, who were those thugs you got to do that to him?"
"Who's Ice Heart?" Taki asked, confused.
"Sorry, you don't call him that. You call him Shuichi Shindou. Ring any bells?" Taki's eyes went wide as Aoshi advanced towards him. "Ah, the name does ring a bell. Just to let you know, I am not pleased one bit. Now, who were those others that you hired?"
"I don't know them. They were just a couple of guys I paid."
"Where did you find them?"
"Aoshi," one of the others said. "Maybe we can spread out and find them."
"That won't work out very well, Hiko," Aoshi replied. He looked back at Taki. "Now, where did you find those thugs?"
"A couple of blocks from here," Taki replied. "They were in an alley. It looked like they hung out there a lot."
"Thanks for the info, but you still get punished," Aoshi stated as he ran a claw down Taki's face. "Be thankful that I won't be the one doing so." Aoshi turned sharply and walked away. "Splinter, Taro, you two come with me. Hiko, you and the others teach this human why he should leave Ice Heart alone." Hiko and the others smirked. "Go ahead and have some fun. Leave him alive. He just caused it to happen and took some pictures. Don't worry about those. Shuichi told me that his human got them. Just bang him up some." They all nodded before looking at Taki and walking towards him. Aoshi, Splinter, and Taro left before the others got to Taki.
When they got to a different alley, they saw a couple of humans with cigarettes in their mouths and a very, very faint scent of Shuichi on them. When the humans noticed them there, they said, "What the hell are you doing here? This is our hang-out."
Aoshi approached them with Splinter and Taro a couple of feet behind him. "So it is," Aoshi stated when he was a couple of inches away from one of their faces. "And I'm so glad we found you two. Familiar with someone named Taki? Hired you two to rape someone?"
"Yeah, what about it," one of them asked.
Aoshi smirked, showing his fangs. "Well, you two get to die now."
"What?!" they yelled out before they were grabbed from behind thanks to Splinter and Taro. "What the hell is this about?!" one of the captured humans asked/yelled.
"We aren't pleased," Aoshi growled out with the deadly smirk still on his face. "And you two need to be punished. Which one first?"
"How about this one, Aoshi?" Splinter suggested. "Ice Heart's scent is a little stronger on this one that that other human." Aoshi glared at the human that Splinter was holding back as he approached him. When Aoshi reached him, he did something that was not heard of besides in sci-fi movies. He ripped the human's entire skeleton out of his mouth and tossed it to the side, blood dripping off of the bones. It shattered once it hit the ground. The other guy was gaping at what just happened, until he saw Aoshi heading towards him. He started to struggle, trying to get out the Taro's grasp, but was failing miserably. His eyes widened when Aoshi reached for his head. Aoshi's hand was resting on his hair until he started to squeeze his head. The human's skull cracked until it broke apart before Aoshi ripped the human's head off. Both Taro and Splinter dropped the bodies.
"You two can do whatever you want to the bodies," Aoshi stated as he licked the blood off of his hands. "I got their lives like I wanted." Splinter and Taro looked at each other and smirked. Aoshi turned and walked off, not even bothering to see what the two had planned.
The next morning with Shuichi and Yuki
Shuichi walked into the living room where Yuki was watching the morning news. He sat down next to the blonde human. Something caught his attention once he sat down. There was a news reporter standing in front of a hospital, saying, "Last night, the lead singer of the band ASK, Taki (what's his last name?), was attacked by a gang. He has bruises, cuts, many rope burns on his body, and half of his blood was gone. He was found unconscious a few blocks away from the music studio. There were a couple of murders two blocks away where Taki was found. Their deaths were very strange. One of them had their skeleton removed from their body and another was decapitated with a crushed skull. Both were missing eyes, gashes everywhere on their bodies, and something was written on the wall in their blood. The message is unreadable." An image of a brick wall with some kind of writing in a completely different language on the wall came onto the screen.
Yuki's eyes narrowed. "What the hell could have done that?"
Shuichi knew, but he wasn't talking. 'Bad idea telling Aoshi,' Shuichi thought to himself. He stared at the message on the wall. 'No one harms Ice Heart,' Shuichi read it in his mind. 'Unless they wish for death.'
With Aoshi, he was smirking triumphantly. He went out the door and walked towards the hospital. When he asked the nurses the location of Taki, they told him and he continued on his way. He cracked open the door and listened to the conversation inside. "Who the hell did this?" someone asked.
"I heard his name," Taki's voice replied. "But when I told the police, they just stiffened up and said that they better not go looking for him."
"Who was the guy?" another voice asked. Aoshi took that as his cue to come in.
"That would be me," he stated as he opened the door and walked in. Two unfamiliar humans turned around to look at him as Taki gave him a glare. "That glare isn't intimidating. I told you that you would be punished for torturing my dear Ice Heart. Be glad that it wasn't me who tortured you right back, because if it was me, I wouldn't leave any blood in your body. By the way, seen the news?"
"Who the hell are you?!" the human with the long blonde hair yelled.
"My name is Aoshi," he replied. "But you didn't answer my question. Did you see the news?"
"Yeah," Taki replied. "Why?"
"Recognize the two dead humans? You should. You hired them for that night a few days back. Like the good job I did on them?" All three pairs of eyes went wide. "Of course, I just crushed a skull and ripped off the head and pulled an entire skeleton out of a mouth. Taro and Splinter were the ones that did the rest. I told them to have fun, and lookie there, they did."
"What the hell do you want?"
"I already got it. Now, I'm just passing a message. Leave Shuichi Shindou alone, or I will kill you like I did to those two humans. And don't bother telling those lazy and dumb-ass humans that you call the police. They fear me and my gang, not to mention that they value their lives. Maybe they aren't as dumb as I thought."
"Why do you keeping talking like you aren't human?" Taki asked through clenched teeth.
"Two things. One: you really shouldn't be threatening me like that because, unlike you, I am at full strength, not hurt, and not in a hospital bed. Two: I'm talking like I'm not human because I'm not." Fangs appeared in his mouth as ears sprouted from his head and a tail from his backside. "Have a nice day," Aoshi said humorously before jumping out the window. The other two that were with Taki looked out the window to see Aoshi land on his feet and walk off like it was nothing.
"Holy shit!" they gasped at the same time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A knock broke Aoshi out of his thoughts. "What?" he yelled.
"Ice Heart is not at his place," a voice on the other side stated.
"Leave him be," Aoshi yelled. "Not much I can do about it since he's angry at me. He's most likely at Granny Ai's place."
Me: ok, this was an Aoshi chapter. Sorry for having it so short, but I couldn't think of anything else to add to it. Sorry I didn't explain this sooner, but I was waiting for the right chance. I should have put this chapter up sooner. Gomen nasai! Anyway R&R
