Chapter 6; Dark Chain, Dangerous Beauty

"I found him just like this," spoke Kakashi setting Lea, who had been burnt to a crisp by earlier confrontations, in front of his leader.

Soken looked upon his fallen comrade with a face of annoyance.

"What a weakling." He turned around in his chair. "Evangeline, take care of him."

She nodded moving over Lea as her hair flowed over him. Tools spilled from her sleeves as in almost an instant, his AT's were immediately repaired. She sighed as she lifted his body and carried him to another room.

"Lind, get in here now."

Lind walked in from the other room with a slothful expression. "What is it? Do I get to do something now?"

"It is your lucky day. Go meet Lilli at the drop point and intercept the Proto and Thorn Kings and take their regalia. I will send Evageline and Kakashi later so I have no screw-ups this time. Then I want you to track down the person who scorched Lea and bring him to me."

Lind's expression changed to one of bloodlust. "Why so serious? I'm not complaining that I finally get to eat after all this time, but you seem to be interested in the kid who did this."

"Just follow the orders and get going!" he shouted.

Lind merely smirked. "Fine, fine," replied Lind as he vanished.

Soken stood moving his blue-grey hair from his eyes and walked into the room where Evageline was tending to Lea.

"Whats his status?"

She looked up at him. "I've never seen anything like it. He was burned in way I didn't think were possible. Take a good look at the bed. His body is still burning."

He looked at the bed noticing the scorch marks on the covers. He sighed as he peeked at her hands seeing her gloves burnt almost all the way through. "It seems as though your gloves have taken a flaming as well."

"Tch! It's nothing. So what do you plan to do?" she asked looking to him.

"I guess I plan to put this kid in his place. He could be a problem, or an ally." Soken smiled slyly

Rai, Calighe, and Grasswhistle arrived at a fixed abandoned warehouse.

"Well, this is home!" Rai said enthusiastically. Calighe turned her head to the side in wonder.

"Oooo!" she spoked in amazement.

Grasswhistle knocked on her head. "Hello? It's not that awesome!" Her expression turned to a serious one as she looked upon the warehouse.

"Someone is in there..." she said with a growl.

"Damn. I hope it isn't another one of Soken's kings. I'm still tired from the first one," he said dreadfully.

"Well maybe if you weren't so rash in using full power..." Grasswhistle spoke softly.

Calighe ignored their bickering and walked inside. "Well maybe if you'd have helped me fight him, I wouldn't have had to!" Rai retorted.

"Why dont you go jump off a bridge you big matchstick!" she responded.

"Well why don't you go-" Their bickering was interrupted by the sound of laughter. A bead of sweat dropped from both of them.

"We let Calighe go inside, didn't we?" Rai asked. Grasswhistle nodded.

They both charged inside the warehouse on full guard expecting an evil lady torturing Calighe, but instead they found Calighe having tea with a shaggy-haired girl dressed in a white fit T-shirt, and a pair of grey multipocket pants with a chain belt. Grasswhistle was almost instantly aggrivated.

"Damn it girl! You shouldn't just go in places when we say someone is in there. Right Rai?" No response came. She looked at him. "RIGHT RAI?" No matter how loud she yelled it couldn't get his attention. His eyes were affixed to the girl. Luckily for him, he still had his visor shades on his face.

Oh my! She is... he couldn't think of a word to describe her. His eyes ran over every inch of her body, until his eyes met hers. She, however merely looked at him with a smile on her face. He was fully distracted and unaware of the effect she had on him. Grasswhistle almost hurled, before she noticed the girl's AT's. She had spotted an active regalia.

"All right you! Who are you and why are you here?" she asked sternly.

"Hmph!" The girl stood with a sly smile on her face as she walked toward Rai. "I am called many names: The Siren of Sound, the Songstress of Sonar, even Sonar Queen, but," She stopped directly in front of Rai as all of a sudden Grasswhistle body stiffened of its own will.

W-what the hell is this witch doing to us? she thought struggling with all her might.

"You can call me Naki. As to why I am here..." she used her finger to lower Rai's chin lever with her face. "I'm here for the Pyre King, and I am surprised. His is quite the looker from what I was told." She smiled knowing exactly what she was doing.

Rai's cheeks reddened from her words. "W-w-what business do you have with me?" he stuttered out.

Wait a minute. I know who she is! That bitch! Grasswhistle thought. "Sister! Let me out of this!"

Rai's look of shyness turned to a look of confusion. "Sister?"

"She is right," Naki's regalia retracted. "That thing is my sister."

Anger welled up within Grasswhistle. "I'll show you a thing you piece of-"

"Enough! I don't feel like dealing with sibling rivalry today!" He sighed shaking his head. "So why are you here besides to seduce me?" he said straightly with a small blush on his face.

Naki giggled. "I'm here to be your tuner."

"SAY WHAT?" exclaimed the trio. Rai and Grasswhistle looked at each other, then back at her. "You want to be my tuner?" he asked puzzled.

Naki sighed. "I guess I'd better explain. I saw when you downed the Laser King in a short time and I was apalled at how crappy your regalia was built. I was disappointed. I am the last of Tool Toul To and I thought you would be the best chance against the Null King, and the fact that you are a cutie when you blush is a plus for me."

Naki smiled as Rai's face reddened again. Grasswhistle pretended to gag.

"That's nice! It's good to meet another tuner that isn't under Soken," Calighe said happily.

*briiiiing* *briiiing* Rai's phone went off. "Hold on girls. Let me answer this." He looks at the caller-id. Artemis? He answered the phone. "Hello?"

"Yo. Sup, Raiyu?" greeted Artemis.

"Don't be so formal. Just call me Rai. It's been a while."

"Indeed it has." "What are you doing? Stop messing around!" yelled a voice from the phone.

Rai looked confused. "Everything okay? If I'm not mistaken I heard Duo yelling."

"Its fine but uh..." "Give me the phone right now!"

Duo slides on the building beside Artemis and jumps to his side. "Gimme!" Duo jacks the phone from Artemis' hand.

"Okay! Jeez!"

"Um...anybody there?" asked Rai.

"Listen up Rai! I want you and whoever you have with you over by the tower now! Hurry it up!" Duo hangs up the phone.

"You didn't even give me a chance to explain the situation!" spoke out Artemis.

"What's there to explain? I just told them in the quickest way, to get over here," Duo replied innocently.

"Well, let's hope they get here in time," Artemis said as he and Duo stood back to back staring down the half of Dark Blue Soken had sent after them.

"You know what? This is all your fault!" said Duo annoyed.

"How the hell is this my fault?" he asked with an aggravated tone.

"I don't know! It's fun to blame you!"

Kakashi, Evangeline, Lind, and Lilli all stood with single beads of sweat down their heads.

"Was this in the report?" asked Lilli.

"I dont fucking know," said Lind as he laughed ,"but it sure is entertaining."

"Proto King Artemis, and Thorn King Duo; together. Who would've thought?" spoke Kakashi merely analyzing them.

"Screw you, Duo!" said Artemis annoyedly.

"Maybe afterwards. You haven't been very nice to me today," retorted Duo.

"That is it! I am leaving you!" yelled Artemis.

"What? Oh, you don't like me now huh?" replied Duo.

"You wanna go? You want me to show you what time it is?" Artemis said yelling.

"Oh I know what time it is!" Duo yelled back.

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah!"

"Then let's go right now!"

"Let's!"

Both of them vanished immediately as the 1/2 Dark Blue looked puzzled.

"Oh damn!" shouted Lilli.

A swirl of blade slashes and thorn lashes formed a giant cage around them as Artemis and Duo could be seen rapidly zipping around releasing them.

"You'd better not screw up, Duo!" he said with a straight face.

"Funny. I was about to say the same to you!" he said with a calm face.

I believe this chapter leaves a bunch of unanswered questions. That is just how I like it. I'm still short of characters. Submit them if you can. That is all.
