Shadow slowed down to pull into a parking lot of a bar.
"What are we doing here?" MacGyver asked.
"Visiting an old friend" Shadow answered. They made there way into the bar. The first thing Mac saw that almost every one there was a demon. "Where's Katana" Shadow asked the bartender.
"Over there, Gate Keeper" the bartender said and pointed to the corner that a weird looking demon was at.
"Thanks" they walked over to the demon known as Katana "hey" said Shadow "a bunch of Neko demons attacked my new friend here"
"Neko's huh. Very few people have them. The most likely is Wolfram and Heart or Shalkon" said katana.
"Thanks" Shadow said again. They turned to leave when Shadow saw some big ass demons around a lower level demon that looked mostly human except the cat ears and tale. One of the big demons punched her in the face and that seemed to piss Shadow off. He moved up to one of the big demons and knocked him down easily then he got in front of her and grabbed a second fist that came the small demons way "I hate bullies" said Shadow. The girl couldn't hide her surprise that any one would even think about helping her. Shadow squeezed the demons hand breaking it pulled on it and connected his elbow with the demons neck snapping it. "Whose next" he asked all the other demons ran knowing he might look human but he was definably an upper level demon the entire bar cleared except Shadow, Mac, Katana, the demon girl, and the bartender.
"Never fail to give a good show do you" the bartender said with a smirk.
"Time to go" he said to MacGyver they start to leave when the girl got in front of Shadow. "Can I help you" he said coldly.
She took a deep breath and asked "can I go with you" before he could answer she burst into tears and buried her face in his chest because he was a good foot taller than her.
He looked at Mac hoping he would make the decision but he offered no help. "Yah, you can come" he showed a moment of what he considered weakness and he would punish himself later.
Every one piled into the car and they were on the road again with the new passenger lying in the back seat
"Ok I have a few more questions" Mac said
"And I may have a few more answers." Shadow said
"Why did the bartender call you Gate Keeper?"
"That's my position in the demon world. A human and a demon child are chosen every one hundred years to have more power than any thing elts in the human and demon world they are both called Gate Keepers. The human hopes to keep the gate to hell which keeps a lot of very powerful demons from ravaging the earth closed the demon wants to open it."
"So you're the human"
"No. I'm the exception to the rule. I had made friends with the human Gate Keeper so I couldn't kill him without help"
"You killed him!"
"Yes, my father took over my body and killed him. It was my fault for not being strong enough to fight my father's power"
"It wasn't your fault if…"
"Yes it was" they heard the demon girl move on the seat. Shadow looked back to see her sleeping like he thought she was. "After I killed him I broke the spell then broke my fathers neck"
Mac decided to leave that subject alone for now. "So whose Wolfram and Heart"
"A law firm"
"'Nugh said and Shelkon" trying to lighten the mood, sad to say it didn't work.
"I don't know much about him other than he's an upper level demon with an army of demons. Get some sleep your going to need it."
Mac took his advice and slowly fell asleep.
A car pulled into the parking lot of angel investigations. Two people got out of it and went to the front door. Angel was already there checking the mail.
"You must be Shadow and his friend." Angel said.
"You wish" one said as the both grabbed Angel and turned to throw him into the light. They were extremely strong. When they got around one met a fist sending him threw the door and across the room. Then the owner did a spinning jump kick snapping the other guy's neck he walked slowly into the hotel giving the first guy enough time to get up. Angel noticed he looked like a kid. The guy tried to punch him but he never had time to connect the kid already grabbed and broken his neck before his fist was half way in the air. The kid let the mans body drop hard as Pandora came down stairs because of all the racket.
"Shadow, you're here." She said.
He didn't even look at her and went back outside. He hadn't got all his anger out so he hit the car the men were in and sent it flying into the air and landing in the parking lot across the road on its grill.
"That's Shadow for you, cold as ever" Pandora said.
"Remind me not to get on his bad side" Angel said.
Shadow went to his car and got his companions and went back in to sit on the couch. By now every one was up and wondering what the hell was going on. He put his fingers on his temples and looked like he was thinking.
"Hey you stop that right now" Pandora said being the only one in the room that knew what he was doing. He looked at her like he was going to kill her but did as she said. She had shown no fear of him.
"Hey, you really that powerful" Angel asked.
"No, she's not" Shadow answered for her.
"I just know he's not going to do anything to me" she said.
"What was he doing" Mac asked.
"Using a low level magic pulse on his brain"
"Huh"
"He was hurting himself"
Every one looked at shadow. He just sat there. The demon girl piped in "it's because of me you did that isn't it."
"Yes" Shadow answered. "I need to talk to you, alone"
"There are a lot of rooms upstairs" Angel said.
Shadow took her by the hand and led her upstairs. He stopped half way up and said "I know what's going on you can talk about it and tell me the plan later."
Upstairs they went in one of the sound proof rooms. "So why were those demons attacking you."
"I guess I got a little to smart"
"You're lying"
"How can you tell?"
"I'm a demon lie detector. When you lie your body temp rises and your heart speeds up" he said. "And there's only one more reason for that"
"What's that?"
"Back to the point you were those guys attacking you." 'Good thing she don't think like a human' he thought.
"You mite as well leave me on the side of the road, ill only be a burden to you and your friends."
"That don't answer my question" he said coldly.
She brought her head up to look at his face and it matched his tone perfectly.
"You're wasting my time I wont an honest answer and now" at that time he noticed a collar on her that was hidden under the collar of her shirt. He reach out and grabbed half gently half not caring so it only hurt the back of her neck a little. "What's this, 8257." He read aloud form the tag.
She said nothing she didn't wont to piss him off because of how powerful he was put she wonted him to let go. She finally got up the courage wile he was still looking at the collar to say in almost a whisper "can you please let go"
If his sense of hearing wasn't so high he wouldn't have herd her. He let go "if you think I'm going to attack you for something I'm doing wrong you got the wrong idea of me. It's true I'm cold but it works both ways I'm never happy but I'm never mad ether."
He turned to leave figuring she wouldn't say anything "they were from my master" she said
"Huh"
"They came to take me back to the master of all my kind. He is a mean man that has had us as prisoners for as long as I can remember."
"Does this master have a name?"
"He does but I don't know it. Although he has Neko guards"
"Neko's as guards that leaves one"
"One what?"
"Your master's name is Shalkon" he said "we may have the same enemy. As long as you can handle my attitude your welcome to stay with us."
She ran over and hugged him "thank you" she said softly.
I have revised this chapter a little
