Chapter 11: Unlucky Seas or Majestic Masters

The dark clad man chuckled, his onyx doctor's coat snapping backward at a flash of moment, his form blurring as a slow grin spread across his thin lips. Lavender orbs flashing with the delectable ecstacy of the batlle, ravenously reflecting the sparks that flew as knives scrapped against the blade of his newest aspirant.

"I need to fix that pesky need to blink." Constantina thought absently as she followed the flurry of blows as best as her eyes would allow her. "and learn to slow down time."

"You can't take seven people Dr. Jackal." Miroku's voice mocked him challengingly as he met the good doctor blow for blow, "even you have limits."

The time he took to mock Akabane was enough for him to regret not concintrating more fully on the battle,what seemed like a few rays of light cutting across his cheek and leaving a set of red lines that started to drip down Miroku's face.

The eyes narrowed and he jumped away from the doctor, starting to pull a different weapon but being forced to raise the one he already had to block the next set of slashes.

"Don't withdraw already," Jackal taunted with genuine encouragement, "you are suppose to be feared Mr. Miroku. Give me a little fun before I continue on my way."

He caught the fist heading his way and then jumped back himself as his hand took on the smallest of extra heat, avoiding the fire the man had been trying to catch him with. Then drawing his scaples back into his body, twitching the fingers of his right hand as the sanguine blade bloomed from within. Unconcerned with the fact that the Miroku had switched the kinder spoken but more dangerous glasses wearing one. He never had cared to learn all the psychotic's varied names for himself and stuck with just Mr. Miroku.

The circlular blade didn't mean anything to the good doctor, espically considering it still had various cracks from when it had been blasted apart by Ginji not too long before. The fact that it was partically repaired would have been fairly impressive to most, but Akabane parried the flying blade away as effortlessly as swatting a bug. Though his clothing along his back ripped as he rolled forward and away from the slightly unexpected attack down his spine. It missed but his clothing hung loose as a sign of how close it had come.

Akabane's grin widened at that. Ripping the rest of the top of his clothing off (other than his hat) as he let his opponent measure him, glad that he had a little hope for some fun before moving on.

"Nice to know you are at least participating," Akabane commented gleefully as he sped for another set of successive attacks. Pushing his enemy backward and into a corner with a deadly presicion that would make anyone's skin crawl, the sudden overwhelming bloodlust penetrating the area with it's oppresive toxic aura making the many personality subject's spine shudder.

Constantina's eyes burned slightly and she mentally cursed as she was forced to blink, thanking that no move had been made yet. The poisoneous malignant ambience that wrapped around Akabane with a lethal, substantially unrelenting emanation of joyfully ruthless ferocity made her dizzy; with a drunken, dizzying voraciousness, to relish in the mysteriously wicked ambrosial atmosphere he put forth at these far too seldom occassions.

The rush of relentless attacks happened moments after the hint of his truer nature uncurled itself dazzlingly from him, if she wasn't already willingly drowning in that bloodthirsty aura she might have been irritated at how impossible it was to follow the dozens of successive strikes that would leave the man falling apart by the time he'd landed gingerly near her, a modest tip of his hat as the pressure of his lust (distressingly) receded before Miroku's body (now cut with a J along it's center) managed to hit the floor.

"Shall we move forward my Constantina?" he asked with a hint of cool affection, petting her hair like one might coo to a pet. She just leaned into it, still to inebriated with his decimating force from moments before to react in a more polished manner. She didn't quite fall over or follow too far when he pulled his gloved hand away though, retaining enough mastery over herself to not fall over or act on too amateur a level. However, not quite able to keep the stars from her eyes as she followed the doctor up the seemingly endless staircase.

"Gah!" Ban protested as another small gang of hoodlums interrupted his path. "Dammit, I thought wonder boy was suppose to take care of all of this sort of thing."

He didn't get injured and it didn't take much effort to take out the poorly spoken group of assaulters, but enough of these would slow down his pursuit considerably. Someone other than MakubeX was excersizing control over the lower floors of the limitless fortress. Three guesses who was involved. He wore a white suit and came off as more than a little gay with his diamond dust.

Ban sighed as he dug a cigarette from his pocket, freezing before lighting it and twitching as he felt Akabane's forceful will in the distance as easily as one would feel a cool breeze on a warm day. It still chilled him even if he'd defeated the doctor before, and could again. There was the damage he'd have after doing so a second time to consider. Akabane wasn't exactly a pushover.

He still hurried toward where he felt the explosion of destructive power, wondering as he put his cigarettes away just who he'd cut to pieces this time.

"Why do we have to keep him sedated anyway?" A whiny high-pitched but still male voice asked with a little exasperation. "and shouldn't that guy have come to pick him up already. I'm sick of moving a body around with MakubeX after it."

"Shhh," the only person with him would impatiently answer, "cause he'd kill you without much effort otherwise."

The pair was both mismatched and matched. The whiny man and impatient woman so similiar in appearance that if they tried it would be hard to tell them apart. Each had long hair, though the man pulled his back, and the woman let hers fall free. The right side of which was pitch black, the left bleach white. Both sets of eyes a brilliant, nearly neon, blue. Each was attractive, though the male was so in a more feminine way given how simliar they looked. The male wore a sable suit and the woman an ivory dress, and each being rather pale, the offset of the two opposite colors were striking but odd enough that they didn't quite come off as approachable. An enclosed tube sort of bed was between them, inside Ginji was sleeping soundly, drugs constantly being put into his system keeping him fully unconscious for the transfer of his body.

"I just don't like it," the man continued, ignoring the shush, "be better to just kill him so he doesn't go crazy should he happen to wake up and kill half the city."
"You'd just run away if he did," she retorted coldy, "now shut up. The doctor is suppose to have been here already. Keep on your toes in case we meet interferance."

"Too late sis," the guy answered drily, "there's some already here."

Each turning to take in the person heading calmly their way...

End Chapter

For my one reviewer: (as the rest of you are lazy readers!)

TheDarkMessanger - I try to get things out as quick as I can, even if I'm busy. Thank you for the review and I'm glad you enjoy how Constantina describes things, I like to write for her but it gets difficult to do all the time. And when I say romantic, I don't mean fluffy happy bunnies. I mean it in a way that I could see being possible for Akabane. Which does fall under a very unique perspective. Don't worry about it becoming a 'love conquers all' sort of fic. That's just not something I could ever see in Akabane's nature at this point. Though I just ordered 31-35 of the manga from japan, so I guess I'll get to see if he has a girlfriend (doubt it).

My comments:

This chapter is finally starting to introduce some more unique characters, so I'm sorry if you don't like those much, but the Get Backers universe is really great for adding in my own concepts for characters and sometimes as a writer you need people that aren't just the characters from the series. Especially as the fiction is revolving mainly around Akabane and his less than mentally stable assistant. Thanks for the continued reading. Now just review and many more thanks will come your way!
