Chapter Two [2]

Copyrighted Character Royce Stillburgh

Royce: used to be Graycn's right hand man, his best friend since the third grade.

He looked so familiar, but then again not so familiar. His hair was greasy, and his eyes were shot. He was
very jittery, and he talked fast, but with slurred words. She had studied him for so long and she didn't answer,
so he commenced with his first action and snatched her head back into the wall again. There was a dent and her
head pounded. Through the pounding, she reached up and tried to focus. She staggered forward and lifted her arm.
It felt heavier than her head. She swung pushing all of her weight into her fist. Her fist came into contact with
his face, his nose to be exact.

He cried out and grabbed her wrist. He twisted and slung her to the floor. Staggering over to her, he grabbed her skirt as she fell.
He heard the satisfying rip as she landed. He threw the fabric to the side and jumped on top of her.
She squirmed through the pounding of her head and the throbbing of her forming bruises to try and defend herself.
He worked his pants off and started trying to position her correctly. She screamed loudly. The noise peirced
her ears and made her head beat. "Shit..." He groaned. The room started to fade and spin lightly. She moaned, loudly.

He tried to wedge himself in and she gritted her teeth. Tears streamed down her face. The gun went to her head,
as he let himself slip.
"Where's Graycn?"
"I don't know!" She gasped out.
"You are lying," He growled.
He went further. "No!" She screamed louder.
"Maybe my friend will help move your memory," He sneered.

The door started to move back and forth, and a thudding sound errupted from it, causing the picures
on the wall to shake. "Who's in there?" a muffeled yell came from the other side. Kagome's head spun and
throbbed. She yelled out help through the smog of her thoughts. another thud. The bolts losened on the door.
Finally it burst open. The boy on top of her cocked the gun. Take one more step and she dies.

Graycn's eyes flashed red hot and his body heated at the sight. Faster than the blink, Graycn pulled out
his own silver sleek pistol with engraved initials, cocked, and released it. A bullet flew towards the
man's head. The impact knocked him off Kagome.

"Kagome! Kagome!" Graycn yelled out. She opened her eyes wondering that if she saw the
blood she would feel the pain. She felt someone lean down over her.
"Kagome, please be okay, please," He whispered clasping his hands over her left.
"Please wake up Kagome please." She felt him shaking her body and her eyes flew open, ready for any attack.

It was Graycn. "Gray!" She yelled out and jumped up and hugged his neck. Tears spilled down her face, the fear
overwhelmed her from the previous event, it all happened to fast to feel anything. His arms wrapped themselves
around her waist feeling how tiny and fragile she was. He kissed her cheek.
"Kagome, my god you scared the hell out of me! What's wrong with you?" He growled tightening his grip.
He was squeezing her now.

She turned around out of his arms and looked at the body of the man who had tried to kill her. His blood was
still pumping out of his body from his chest. She pushed him over and pulled out his wallet for some sign of
identification.

Kagome gasped, she had just talked to him earlier today.
"Traitor," Graycn growled. He kicked the dead body.
He picked it up and threw it over his shoulder, "I'll be back," He said.

"No! You're not leaving me here alone again!" Kagome yelled out. He grabbed her wrist and walked out side into
his back yard. He got a trash bag and then they went to his car. They rode to an alley way where two fully grown
men were waiting. He got out and popped the trunk of his 370 Nissan. He turned around and looked at kagome, she
was still in her own little world. He and the two men carried the bag to the back of a dumpster and laid it down
pulling the plastic bag off him and putting a beer bottle in his hand, and his pistol in the other.
They left and his body slumped and fell over.

She watched as Graycn talked to his two friends. They kept looking towards her and she figured
he was telling them about earlier and Royce. A shocking blue Bugatti Veyron pulled up to the corner of Parks and 3rd
Street and parked. Two men and a woman got out. The men had mirroring silver hair, and the woman was black haired, the
legendary Deblyn. Kagome's gut wrenched. The taller slimmer silver haired man was flat out gorgeous. Deblyn
spotted Kagome and they started walking toward her. Graycn had slept with Deblyn and Sesshomaru, who Kagome was
guessing was the taller slimmer one, had been her boyfriend at the time. It wasn't Graycn's fault,
she wanted it. Apparently Sesshomaru hadn't been a good enough provider.

Tiny specks of blood littered the right shoulder and collar of his white tuxedo suit.
"Graycn," the gorgeous one said.
"Sesshomaru, my good man, how have you been?" Graycn smirked. Sesshomaru advanced on him, grabbed him by his
collar and punched him in his cheekbone. Graycn pushed Sesshomaru away,
"Now, now Sesshomaru, my good man, I won't have you being arrested for public terrorism." He laughed.
"I want your head," Sesshomaru growled,
"And I won't stop until I have it one way," He glanced at Kagome, "Or another."

Kagome, noticing the events falling in place around her rolled downt he window and screamed out, "What's your problem?
It obvious! You must not be such a good provider if she went to another man for some!" Kagome continued.
"Oh my sweet," He walked over to the car and leaned down to be eye level with her; laid a
hand on her face. "Are you saying that you might be a better bedder than mine?" He growled.
Kagome snatched her head back. "I'll give you an alternative, your head or the girl." Sesshomaru turned to face Graycn.

Graycn's blood boiled. "No one gave you permission to touch her," He growled. Graycn's
hand graced Sesshomaru's narrow face. His eyes evolved into slits as he stuck his hands into his pockets.
"Tell me Graycn does she know?" He growled.
"Does she know that Royce wasn't your first victim? What your Job actually is?" he growled.
"What are you talking about… What is he talking about?" Kagome asked getting out of the car.

"Graycn?" She asked. Graycn sneered at Sesshomaru.
"I'll kill you," He growled.
"tell her," He smirked. Sesshomaru's hand reached for her neck, and the other towards her center.
"Ow!" Kagome whined.
"Okay, let go of her! That's enough!" Graycn growled. Sesshomaru Spun her around.
"Your dearly beloved brother kills for the pleasure of it, just like me. You are Me.
We are alike and you know it."

Graycn pulled Kagome away from him.
"Don't touch her." He growled.
"No…" Kagome whispered backing away.
How could he… it can't be true! It can't be! she yelled out in her mind. She pulled away from his grasp.

"Kagome…" He whispered mouth dry. His chest pounded. For once in a couple of years his head filled with a lost
emotion of fear. His palms started to sweat and his gut wrenched in his stomach.
"No…" she whispered again.

She pulled away shocked; unable to comprehend who was around her any more. It was scary. The only person on the
face of the earth, that understood her was a murder, was someone who was the most feared man in the city of
Maroshi. He moved forward and extended an arm. She turned and bolted from sight. Her legs were lively with
adrenaline, pushing her farther and faster. Her eyes closed tight people swerved and stopped to miss her retreating form.

Graycn went to take off for her but was snatched back by Deblyn's order by men. Sesshomaru looked towards Graycn with
amusement dancing through his eyes, then said, "Don't worry she'll get exactly what you deserve." Graycn pulled from
the gigantic men and reached to punch Sesshomaru but he was gone. Graycn took off just as fast as Sesshomaru following
in a straight line for Kagome.

Their bodies were invisible to the public as they darted around and through crowds.
"I'll Kill you if you touch her Sesshomaru!" Graycn yelled out as he got yards away from Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru sped up and darted in front of Kagome
grabbing her arm and twisting it around her back and using his other to place a pistol to her left ribcage.

"Sesshomaru… let her go…," Graycn said pausing a few feet away.
"Graycn…," She whispered.
"Don't speak," he said twisting her arm. She let out a whimper and threw her head back into his shoulder digging it
in as deep as she could. He leaned his head down and kissed the bareness of her neck looking up from his lowered position to
see Graycn's reaction. Graycn pulled out a handgun with his name engraved near the barrel. He fired where Sesshomaru's head
was and his head appeared at the other side of her neck. He fired there. Then his head was in between her legs. He looked
up into her skirt and then there was another gunshot as Sesshomaru disappeared from view.

"I liked what I saw Graycn, she'll do fine indeed," Sesshomaru growled into his ear and then was gone.
