Moon Light's Call
Wow! So much has happened in the past month! I put out my next story, The Nightmare of Forever, and I've, drum roll please, finished my costume for Animazement. Let's see, what else is new… oh yeah! I'm sooooo psyched about the Animation Domination on Fox, Sunday nights! It's an hour of Simpsons, then Family Guy and then finally, American Dad. /squeal/ I love all of those shows! Okay! I know that I haven't updated as often as you guys would like /cough cough/ but I am getting this one out so you should be happy at least for a while. Okies! We left off where there was the sound of a scuffle, then of the front lobby door opening then closing. Yuki and everyone else are going out to the lobby to see what he's idiotic brother is doing, and then hopefully get to Kitazawa's for a showdown.
Standard disclaimer: I don't own the fabulous characters drawn by the artist known as Maki Murakami. But, my story, so copy it and die…
Yuki walked quickly down the hall to the lobby, Shuichi a few steps in front of him. Bursting in, Yuki's suspicions were confirmed upon seeing a lobby in a state of disarray. Papers covered the floor and several chairs were overturned.
"Wha-what happened here?" Sakano ran in, closely followed by K.
"Boss, it seems that the former ally has taken the target and run off to an undetermined location."
"No duh! But how did this happen? What about the alarms? I thought that you" he pointed an accusing finger at K "had set up a unbreakable system!"
K looked unfazed "Yes sir, my system is unbreakable, it just never occurred to us that someone would run off with our lobbyist." Yuki smirked; he had Sakano there.
"Well Yuki, are we going after your idiotic brother or are we going to get that bastard Kitazawa?" Shuichi was looking at Yuki with a look that clearly said I don't care which as long as I get to shoot something. Yuki agreed with him there, but he knew that he had to make a decision.
"I say that we go after Kitazawa then my idiot brother."
"But wait! What about my receptionist? I promised her that I would be able to keep her safe!"
Yuki looked at him "Then you'll be held on trial in front of Usegai clan for holding and protecting a runaway slave." Sakano just gaped.
"Don't worry boss, I won't let them take you away, and I'll go retrieve Ayaka for you."
Sakano shook his head "No, I want you to go with Yuki and Shuichi to make sure that they don't need back-up. I believe that I'll send the hunter after Ayaka. He should be more than enough to deal with Mr. Usegai and retrieve the hostage."
K looked momentarily disappointed then grinned, "Well then, I better go get armed for the clash with this Kitazawa, anything I need to know about him?"
"Yeah, that he's an idiot, a bastard, and will stop at nothing. Oh yeah, he has mastered some of the later vampire tricks like creating fire from nothing, flying, and can make himself invisible." Yuki made a mental list of all of the things "oh yeah, and he might have a few traps." K grinned sadistically and left for the backroom to get only God knows what.
"So…will your brother hurt Ayaka?" Yuki glanced at Sakano then shrugged.
"It's not him that you have to worry about. He'll most likely take her right to the head of the Usegai clan. That'd be my father, the old bastard… Anyways, it's a high crime to runaway. Once you're made a slave or the Usegai clan, you're a slave for life so she'll either be punished or put to death by torture. Notice how I said he'd most likely take her right to the head of the Usegai clan…might. He also might decide to have a little fun with her first since he won't be reprimanded for it later."
Sakano's face turned a lighter shade of white "I better release the hunter right away then." Sakano took a key out of his pocket and went to a door behind the front desk that had a sign reading 'EMPLOYEES ONLY' and unlocked it. Peering through the door from behind Sakano, Yuki glimpsed a starch white room with nothing in it that he could see except a few splotches of what smelled of fresh blood. He took another sniff 'Hmmmm… smells like blonde, 23, no 24 and defiantly not a consenting victim' he could distinctly smell the fear in the blood. Before he could get more details, Sakano pulled out what looked like a taser and closed the door behind him.
Yuki though, with his sharpened hearing could still hear what he said, "Okay boy, please don't bite the nice man…yeah that's right… hey! Hey! Stay away!" There was a sharp yelp then the smell of burnt flesh hit Yuki's nose. Next to him, Shuichi was standing with his head cocked slightly to the side, trying to make out the words that were being said in the room. They looked up in surprise when a new voice came from the room, this one laced with a small amount of pain.
"So, who do you want me to track this time?"
"Well, it's the girl who usually comes in here and feeds you. You know, Ayaka?"
There was a low dangerous growl coming from the room "Who the fuck took her…? Just give me something to trace her by and I swear I'll tear apart that bastard apart."
"Well there are a few complications bu-"
"I don't fucking care. Give me my lead and let me go." Yuki smirked, now here was a guy that knew how to get the job done. Sakano came out of the room, grabbed a pen that Ayaka had presumably been using then went back in.
"Here, take it, you can go out the back, it's unlocked." Sakano came back into the lobby and locked the 'EMPLOYEES ONLY' door.
"Boss! I'm loaded and ready to go!" K bounded back in with a rocket launcher on his shoulder and several rounds for a handgun on his belt.
"Okay K, just be careful, I don't want to lose any more employees."
"Sure thing boss! You vamps ready to go kick some vamp butt?"
"I think I'm going to take offense on the behalf of all of our kind," Shuichi said dryly.
Yuki smirked "Yeah whatever, I'm ready to go get some food, I'm getting hungry."
"Right! Let's go infiltrate the area so that you might go stuff your face with food, er, blood." K grinned and headed out the door. Yuki shouldered his changing gun and went after him, followed by Shuichi.
Sorry people, I know this was a short, pointless chapter but I wanted to get something up, so, here is the result . But! I have updated, so please don't be mad…please! Anyways, please R and R. I'm craving feedback. Oh yeah! Any guesses on who the hunter is? Bysies!
