Chapter Four: Blood Fury
Senator Higurashi clutched the blood red envelope as he exited the black stretched limo. He slowly tipped his head to the door man entering the Hotel, his body guards following closely behind. The main lobby of the hotel was elegantly decorated with big glass windows, soft crème coloured satin drapes pinned at the sides, marble floors that practically glittered, high ceilings with intricate gold carvings, glimmering chandeliers that seemed to dwarf the entire room and lush couches and chairs that looked good enough to sleep in. Passing the front desk towards the elevators, the women behind the desk flashed their big toothy grins as they passed.
"Good evening, Sen. Higurashi" a slim, brown eyed cheered, flipping her long locks back. All he did was tip his head in acknowledgement; for a man in his mid-forties he still got the occasional pick-up line and admirer. His boyish looks, friendly smile, lean body and the fact that his hair was still dark brown with no hint of grey in site, kept the women flocking for his attention. But he wasn't interested; he'd give them a friendly smile or curtly nod and walked away. There had been only one woman he wanted and loved and still loved till this day; his beloved wife, Yuri! She had been brutally murdered four years prior and he couldn't and wouldn't let go. He loved his daughter, but there relationship had changed since his wife's death. They hadn't spoken of the night since avoiding the subject completely.
Sen. Higurashi pressed button for the presidential suite and waited impatiently. He looked down at his hand that had been clutching the envelope since he left the dinner. He cocked his head to the side still trying to decipher the message that had been given to him in the envelope during dinner at the Annual Senators Ball. He had been chit chatting with the district attorney about his further ambitions on Demon Restrictions when a waiter had passed him the blood red envelope stating that someone had dropped it off for him and it was instructed that it was only for his eyes. Politely leaving the table he had left the room to an empty hallway. Opening up the envelope he pulled out the white piece of paper and read it; in big bold letter it said;
MISSING SOMETHING...
Sen. Higurashi furrowed his eyebrows in confusion; shaking his head he slipped the message into his suit pocket. He had been perplexed by the message the entire night, still having no idea what its significance was.
Reaching the presidential suite, both guards got out first and stood on both sides of the door as he slid the card in unlocking the door. Untying his bow-tie as he shut the door with his foot, he made his was through the living room towards his office at the back of the suite. As he opened the door there sat his advisors and close companions, one of which had been his best man at his wedding. They all stood up at his sudden presence, Ryu, a short pudgy man, Higurashi's right hand man and best friend stood in front of the desk. Rubbing his hand over his forehead, he cleared his throat as Higurashi made his way around the room.
"Sen-" Ryu said gravely. Shrugging off his jacket and throwing it on the leather clad couch he walked behind the large mahogany desk and placed the envelope on the desk.
"What seems to be the problem, gentlemen?" Higurashi asked briefly, debating whether or not to tell them about the message he had received. 'No its too late, tomorrow I will bring it to there attention' he concluded, with a nod of his head, his advisors sat down and stared at him. Higurashi laid back in his overly large computer chair and softly smiled,
"I'm positive I did not call a meeting at 11:30" he concluded, raking his hand through his hair. Ryu had turned towards Higurashi, his face grim, he planted his hands on the desk and glanced at his dear friend that looked down at the desk. Higurashi sensed something was definitely wrong with Ryu's actions; he slowly sat up and tensed as his eyes were cast to the crimson envelope.
"What is going on, Ryu?" he asked, furrowing his eyebrows together.
"Senator we got a call from New York" Ryu began, his voice soft barely audible. Higurashi laced his fingers together tightly and stared at Ryu.
"What about?" he asked, his voice deep and husky.
"Kagome was kidnapped several hours ago. She was being carried away into an SUV by two males, one being wolf youkai. It seems they were distracted by Kagome and she got out. They heard her scream for help, but once they came to help her she was thrown into the vehicle" Ryu stated finally looking into his friends eyes.
Fury raged through his veins as he stared at Ryu.
"Everyone, leave" he said calmly, his eyes never leaving Ryu's.
"But, sir-" one began, but was cut off by Higurashi's harsh voice.
"I said leave! All of you" he barked, his hand clutching to the envelope with the message he now understood. Ryu took a step back,
"Not you Ryu, everyone else go" he seethed, standing from his chair. The room was empty everyone quickly exiting. And there in the brightly illuminated room stood Ryu and Higurashi; the room seemed to darken as Higurashi's anger grew. As the front door clicked shut, letting the two men know that everyone had left the suite. In a blink of an eye Higurashi had moved from behind the desk to having Ryu pinned up against the wall by his collar. Blood and anger in his eyes, he spoke venomously,
"Where the fuck is she, Ryu?"

Chapter Five: All Tied Up
... "What the hell happened!" she mumbled, scanning the room once again in hopes of spotting something she had missed. To her dismay, she found nothing, she leaned her had back against the chair and closed her eyes. The night before came rushing back to her, she groaned.
"Fuck" she grumbled, her brows furrowing in a light clicking sound coming from behind her. A sudden rush of heat flooded her neck, she froze.
"That's right doll face! Your fucked now!" a sinister voice stated, his tongue sweeping the shell of her ear; sending shivers up her back. She moved her head up avoiding his touch, her lips thinning in a grim line. Clutching the arms of the chair, she steadied her breathing waiting for the sinister man to speak. But no one spoke there was nothing but a long displeased growl that filled the room. Without warning her head was snapped back by her hair forcing her to look up into the eyes of the wolf youkai who she had given some electric shock treatment to. She gritted her teeth at the swelling pain and gave a fierce glare at the wolf staring down at her.
"Bitch, I'm going to teach you a lesson!" he seethed, his eyes diverting from hers and traveled down her body hungrily. A grin slowly coming onto is face, he licked his lips and met her fierce gaze...
