Hunt Me Darling Third Bite: Search
"Wow, you treat ME like the animal and yet YOU'RE the one shredding that meat like a starving lion." Rukia mused as she watched Ichigo tear into his steak from her side of his dining room table like he had never had food in his life.
"I can't help it." he said as he took a break in his feasting to lick his lips, "This is delicious, I don't understand how you learned to cook like this."
"I had a lot of free time on my hands when I was younger." she simply replied .
It tasted so good. This food was the best thing he had ever tasted in his life, and now that he had one hunger satisfied, he was almost desperate, to satisfy the other.
"I wonder .. does the taste of my food have anything to do with me being your mate?" she asked as she took a sip of blood and popped a piece of steak into her mouth from his plate, which he found incredibly sexy by the way.
Ichigo shook his head and stabbed another piece with his fork, "No, it doesn't work like that, having a mate is really more for biological purposes; having sex, making babies, that kind of thing. But since you can only make babies with your mate, you do need to have some symbol of love to the person you're mated to, but... not exactly a IN love thing, more like a 'you're my mate so I have to love you' kind of thing. You don't have to like the person..." he said with a longing sigh, and she knew that he wanted to be in love with her.
His foot started to run over her's,going up and down her calf, maybe he knew, maybe it was involuntary, but she was waiting for the right opportunity to point it out.
"I've heard of people who don't even love mates, and I think that's sad. If your mate is abusive to you or you just can't stand them, you can't run away. They'll always be part of you, no matter how far you live from each other or how little you see of each other, you'll always have that connection... it's tragic, especially because you'll always, ALWAYS have the urge to mate with them once you get that first scent. Yup, it can be hard being a werewolf..." he said, looking down.
Rukia frowned, suddenly forgetting that his foot was resting on her's, "It sounds like this issue is a personal one."
"Sort of, it happened to a good friend of mine, his father was abusive to him and his mother finally left him." he replied, she nodded slowly, "I see." his foot started running again.
"What about you? Will you be a good vampire...or will I have to make you behave?" he said, eying her like his next meal.
Rukia smirked at the hunger wolf, staring at him with the same intensity, "That depends, maybe I like a little discipline every now and again..." Rukia leaned over the table, with hazed over eyes, causing Ichigo to do the same with smirk that made women go crazy, before whispering in her sexy tone, "Officer~."
Ichigo leaned forward a little more ready to catch her lips but she pulled away at the last second, making him scowl.
"Now let's get going mutt, I want to find my bloodstone before the end of this month." Rukia said walking to his front door.
Ichigo scowled at her retreating form, 'Bitch, such a tease.'
"So where do you want to start?" Ichigo asked as he pulled out of the driveway.
Rukia shrugged, "I have no idea."
"What makes you think your bloodstone will be in this town of all places?" he asked.
"Because of the night I lost it... it was the only night in the twenty years of my life that there was a meeting between werewolves and vampires and it was held at my kingdom. I remember having it on when I went downstairs that night ten years ago... but when I went back up it was gone. I had a thorough search done of every vampire or human that was there and every inch of the house searched too. The only possibility left is that a werewolf found and took it." she said sitting in the passenger seat, her anger starting to boil. Ichigo stayed silent while looking at the road.
"I see... wait... did you say it was a political thing between werewolves and vampires?"
"Yes, ten years ago." his eyes widened.
"Cause ten tears ago, I remember going to the vampire kingdom and meeting the young princess."
"Wait...you can't be..."
Yes, it was all coming back to them... she was that girl he met all those years ago! The one he played jacks with!
Ichigo grabbed his chest, feeling the crystal underneath it... he had two choices; one, he could give her the necklace now and she'd return home... and never see him again... or two, he could keep it just a little longer and give it back by the end of the month, AFTER making love with her... or of course there was the option between those two, tell her he had the necklace but not allow her to have it until after he had her agreement to stay with him. But he didn't trust that, vampires were lying, deceitful creatures, it was her nature and there's no way she'd keep such a promise. He felt the pendant around his neck brush against his shoulder as he turned the car and frowned. The alpha cop didn't know what to do... but he wouldn't have to think about it right now, because his cell phone was ringing.
"Kurosaki." he answered as he picked up the phone,"I'm on my way." he said, hanging up and taking a sharp turn.
"W-Where are we going?" Rukia said, stunned by his sharp turn.
"We have a murder suspect in custody, time to use that gift of yours Sweetheart, we've been after this guy for a long time but we don't have enough evidence to hold him, we'll need a confession." he said, she huffed.
"I'll help... but DON'T call me 'Sweetheart'!" he smirked at her.
"Of course, oh and, SweetHeart, after you're done with the confession, you can search the police station for your necklace while I do paperwork." he said, she frowned.
"I never said it was a necklace Officer." she said with a cold hint in her voice, he felt his heart skip a beat.
"O-Oh... I heard somewhere all vampires wear their bloodstones as necklaces." he lied, but Rukia picked up on it.
"So what do you want me to do?" Rukia asked as she stared through the two-way mirror at the suspect in the interrogation room.
"Just go in, tell him you aren't a cop, and do your thing, say whatever you have to say, do whatever you have to do, get a verbal and written confession that he murdered three women, and get their names."
"Why do you need their names?"
"Even though we suspect we know who he killed there might be more out there, this is a common technique we use to get criminals to confess to more than what we have them on, tell them a number of crimes and see if they confess to the right ones, and if they mention one or two we didn't suspect them on, that's a bonus, and we keep going." he said, she nodded slowly.
"Do whatever I have to do hm? Even unbuttoning my top?" she asked with a smirk, reaching for the buttons. Ichigo lightly grabbed her arm and stared down at her, looking straight into her eyes.
"Rukia, if you do that, I'll have no choice but to run in there shot the guy and take you right there on the table, then I'd be arrested for murdering that guy for looking at what is mine." he replied seriously, she smiled.
"Relax, I may be a seductress but I'm still a virgin, I won't do anything shameful, and since when did I become yours?" she said with a smirk as she walked into the interrogation room and sat down.
"Who's the new girl?" Ichigo heard, looking beside him at the Beta of his pack, Uyuu Ishida.
"Oh, she's uh... a new recruit." the four-eyed man almost choked on his coffee.
"You're letting a rookie in there with a murderer?"
"She's a hypnotist, she's going to goose a confession out of him."
"How do you know she's any good?" the alpha smirked.
"Because, Uryuu, she's somehow got me on leash." he replied with a smile, Uryuu tilted his head slightly.
"Wow, she must be really good to have tamed the untameable Ichigo Kurosaki"
"I guess so."
"So you're not a cop aye?" said the man across from her, his arms behind his head as leaned on the chair. Rukia shook her head, taking in a deep breath.
'He smells like smoke...' she thought, glancing down at the pockets of his jeans and noticing a white box sticking out, "Want a light?" she asked, reaching into her purse and pulling out a red and orange lighter with a mermaid on it. The mermaid had green hair that spilled down her shoulders, covering her breasts seductively, and had her eyes closed and hands above her head.
"Some lighter..." the man muttered as he pulled out a cigarette and took her lighter, lighting the stick of nicotine in his hands.
"Yes well, I'm not exactly a goody-two-shoes." she said with a smirk, taking her lighter back, he opened one eye as he sucked on the stick and breathed out, Rukia had to stay concentrated as to not start choking.
"Really now, that must be why someone as sexy as you is in here with someone like me." she smiled and leaned forward, pushing her breast together attracting his attention, smirking at him.
"Let's just say I like to take a walk on the wild side." she said.
Part of being a vampire was that she was good at mind games, and she was great at figuring people out, but it wasn't just being a vampire that did this to her, she had been raised to notice things about people, even things they didn't notice about themselves, little habits in their body language to see how they react to something. He seemed to like the idea of her with that lighter so she decided to play on it, the more masculine- and yet seductive- she could appear, the more he would talk.
Rukia was playing her mind games to the fullest, as she leaned closer almost touching his lips.
"Look, I really don't care if you killed those women or not..." she lied, "I just need to know if you did, you see one of the women you're SUSPECTED of killing happens to owe me money, I need to know if I should be hunting her down, or if she's already been hunted so I can get into her bank account myself, so why don't you just tell me a list of women you've killed, and I'll be on my way." she said.
The blue-haired man leaned back, giving he a toothy grin and took another puff on his cigarette.
"Why don't YOU just tell me the name of the woman you're lookin' for, and I can tell you if I've heard of her or not."
"Because I know how you work, if I do that there's no guarantee that you won't lie to me and try to get her money yourself."
"Good point, but I could tell the truth, I don't recall any of the women I've met with having any money." he replied, she nodded and brought her hand up to her blouse, as if she were hot.
"Let me put it this way, you WILL tell me about the women that you killed." she said,staring straight into his eyes. His teal eyes hazed over and he started to speak, prattling off anything that concerned the dead women.
Rukia walked out of the interrogation room holding a piece of paper in front of the two males before her.
"Piece of cake."
After what was about a ten hour shift, Ichigo finally brought him and Rukia to his house.
As soon as the alpha cop walked through the door, he went straight for his bedroom, leaving Rukia to her own devices.
It was now midnight and Rukia was tip-toeing outside of her room, down the hall, careful not to make even the slightest bit of noise, she didn't want to wake up Ichigo after all, but she had a sneaking suspension that he knew something about her necklace, and she wanted to know what it was! She slowly, opened up the door to his bedroom, glad that it didn't creak or squeak, and glided over to Ichigo's sleeping figure. She looked down, admiring his well built upper body and what she saw made her wrinkle her nose.
She knew it! There was her stone! Her crystal! Around his neck... Rukia gritted her teeth, the only question now was how she should go about removing it... should she take it now or wait? She smirked slightly, she had an idea coming to mind, a simply devilish idea.. if Ichigo wanted to live with her, then boy would she live with him!
