A/N: Evil me…XD Another new character, but he has a reason to show up. Read on and see….

Chapter 48: Vanish

Dairek stood before the Imperial Hotel with a sneer. He did not need a telescope or spies to tell him that Hetzumi Taka was hiding in this very hotel. But he could not believe was that his brother was not here, Ayame. He asked his spies to look, but they told him the same thing…Ayame was not here. Not even the duo, Pen-san and Pen-chan, were not here protecting Taka-san. There could be two reasons: one, Taka-san was dead or two, Taka-san fired them. He was leaning towards the second idea since all the Hunassha were hidden in the shadows of this hotel. Dairek sighed as he clicked a button to call his older brother, Ryder.

"Ryder, what is your position now?" He said this plainly since he knew no one would hurt him. For one, he was the youngest son of the Conto family. Also, he would kill or kick the ass out of anyone who came to close. He refused to hide like the cowards in Bullmus's mafia, but Murder Lotus's and Strike Butcher's men were here too… Dairek was only fearful of Strike Butcher's men than Murder Lotus's.

"Well…I am fine, but there is heavy security here. I just barely got in." Ryder admitted.

Dairek smiled and said, "Have you seen her?"

Ryder sighed and said, "No, I have not. She must be in the higher levels…I am on level three right now. And the staff is not agreeing with me. I had to use some force to get here."

Dairek moaned and said, "I am coming in. Do not stop, I will join you soon. But aim for the higher floors…I have a hunch that Taka-san is there than on the lower levels." He stared at the twelve story hotel…yes; Taka-san was the kind of woman who would want to be able to see the enemy clearly… Also, that would be his ideal spot as well. He walked forward as he waited for a moment to cross the street.

His instincts made him aware that nearly hundreds of men and women were watching him. He kept calm and rubbed his pocket protector. His pocket held some of his smallest but best weapons for close combat. He carried his main weapon under his huge trench coat, but he did not reveal that unless he needed to.

Dairek found an opening and walked slowly. He knew running would be futile against a mafia like the Hunassha's three branches. His body was slightly tense, but he did not show fear. Instead, he smirked…he wanted a fight. But Bullmus's crew would not bring the fight… Murder Lotus's might… Strike Butcher's bunch made him slightly stiff since his bunch was so hard to determine sometimes with that Faerie Court on his side… Dairek did not like that unexpected special forces, but he kept away from Strike Butcher as much as possible…but this time. He walked into the flames of the Hunassha for coming meters of Hetzumi Taka. Dairek did not care as he entered the hotel like a guest. He wanted to see her and ask her a simple question.

He turned to the secretary as he slid her the golden credit card. Dairek said, "It's yours if you tell me where Hetzumi Taka is staying."

The secretary rolled her highly decorated eyes and snarled, "You are seventh person to annoy me about this 'Hetzumi Taka' person. I am obligated, as an employee and as a secretary, to protect the visitors in his hotel."

Dairek hid his anger, but seven people in the building… Ryder said nothing of enemies, but Ryder was on the third floor… He took a deep breath and hid the card. His voice was level as he said, "look, Jani," after he looked at her name tag and continued, "I am no ordinary teenager. As my scar can prove, I am here to talk to Hetzumi Taka about a certain issue."

Jani blinked twice and snarled, "I could care less about your scar, so you can explain it to—" Her hand reached for the phone as Dairek pulled out his Liberator pistol. Jani stalled as she stared at the small, silver gun.

Dairek said, "I refuse to kill an innocent woman for my mission, but I will if you press my asshole button. Do not call the police or security, or I or my men will be forced to kill you." After saying this, nine guns loaded and nine men appeared in the lobby all aiming at Jani.

Jani gulped and replaced the phone. She slowly raised her hands and said, "damn…who knew this woman would have this many problems…but…there is no Hetzumi Taka on the guest list…sorry." Her face paled, but she looked at all the guns…in interest.

Dairek hummed and said, "She did have a new name…Hozumi Goda. Is he staying here?"

Jani sighed and nodded. She said, "Seventh floor, but I will not say what room."

All the guns lowered as Dairek said, "No need, but I like your stamina. Would you like a job with me?"

Jani smirked and said, "As a…mafia member?"

Dairek shook his head and said, "I am not mafia employer or member. I am a humble teenager that works under a mafia title, but I work alone. You could be useful to handle the office materials and keep secrets…would you come? I cannot guarantee you will return to this life—"

Jani reached for his hands and said quickly, "hell yeah! Anything than this boring job!"

Dairek smirked as he turned to his stiff men. He said, "Be sure to prepare Jani for anything, and bring her to headquarters. I shall return soon as well, but be sure to keep a few here to keep Hunassha away from building." He removed Jani's hands and walked away.

The men nodded as Dairek entered the elevator. He clicked the third floor as Jani nodded and listened to Dairek's men. After the doors closed, he sighed and mumbled, "women can be so fickle…mention mafia and they orgasm. Jeez, I need to be careful on picking new members." But even after saying this, he knew he made the right choice with Jani. She was facing seven other people with the same mission to obtain Hetzumi…but where were they? He hid his gun as the elevator opened to his older brother.

Ryder smirked and entered the elevator as Dairek pressed the seventh floor. They said nothing for a few minutes as Ryder dared, "I saw a Hunassha member…one of the Information Seekers, B.A. Parjure."

Dairek stiffened and said, "Where?"

Ryder admitted, "On the floor I was on…he did nothing but stare at me for a long time. After that staring battle, I walked away."

Dairek said, "How long ago was that staring battle?"

Ryder said, "five minutes ago…Dairek, how did you get in? That secretary was very mean…" He sort of blushed at the idea, but he tried to remain firm.

Dairek smiled at him and said, "I had to use my men, but I hired her."

Ryder blushed fully and said, "Well…I…" He moaned and turned away.

Dairek chuckled as the elevator opened to the seventh floor… Both Conto brothers walked out and remained still. They looked in both directions for movement and listened for feet. Ryder shifted to remove his foldable crossbow and put it together. Dairek pulled out his little pistol and foldable fencing sword. Both brothers posed for battle as Dairek looked to the right and Ryder to the left.

Ryder was a chubby man, but he was deadly with his crossbow. His lightly fuzzy auburn hair was always a mess, but it never covered his face. His dark blue hazel eyes were behind a thick pair of square glasses, but yet again, his eyes were excellent enough to see any problem than be hindered by myopia. He always wore simple clothing under his thick leather jacket, which helped Dairek to use his brother as an entering agent. That factor was useful as to make others think this chubby man was not threatening…until provoked.

Dairek sighed and said, "Common…I have a guess she is over here." He walked forward as Ryder walked slowly backwards and looked with caution. Dairek came to the fourth door from the elevator as he felt this was the…

The door opened very easily as he gulped and looked. The room was high class: a living room with three leather couches, a glass coffee table, and a few wine glasses…unused but sitting on the table. The cream based floors and wine red walls were clean…no battle or blood. Also, Dairek could be wrong…but he had a hunch that Taka-san was here. Also, most of his hunches were correct.

Dairek and Ryder entered as Dairek closed the door and locked it. He said, "Stay here and fire your arrow to the window as a sign of trouble." Dairek pointed to the huge window to Tokyo's streets below, but the window was closed by huge curtains.

Ryder nodded as Dairek hid his pistol and sword away. Dairek looked closely at the room as he walked towards the bedroom door; the bedroom was just adjacent to the living room as the door, again, was wide open…to a sleeping person.

Dairek entered the room slowly and stiffened. Not in fear, but in total shock…Hetzumi was in this room. But not the fact she was lying on the bed, but she was asleep. She was asleep…completely naked.

He gulped as he just looked at her. Dairek remembered her a little from his youth…but it has been years since he saw her. His heart raced at the mystery that he wondered for years…Hetzumi sort of looked like a man, but she had a feminine beauty. Dairek entered the room and gently closed the door.

Hetzumi cut her lovely hair short as her light locks fell down her face in a boyish cut. Her face was peaceful as her body turned upward to reveal her entire torso. Hetzumi had small breasts, not small enough to hide the fact she was a woman, but small enough that if she wore a sports bra…she could look manly. Her right wrist was covered in blue Viking runes… Her lower end…

Dairek gulped as he tried not to reach out and touch it. He had looked at porn sites and almost had sex once…but this…made his face flush and his heart race. Dairek always wanted to see Hetzumi naked…but this…he knew that he should wake her and tell her to get dressed…but he felt his entire body get warmer…for so much more than porn adoration.

Hetzumi's lower end was entirely female; which he could see…a little story there. Under her enlarged clitoris, a small scar… Also, he could see her vagina… Dairek could almost see why cartoon characters have bleeding noses for sexual attraction…his face felt so red from pleasure of seeing one of his deepest desires…Hetzumi naked…he gulped and stood very close to the door.

Dairek took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down. He very badly wanted to have sex with her…right here, right now. But he could not…he had to get her out of here. Hetzumi was always in danger…but without his brother…Dairek felt this was more dangerous than without Ayame. He slowly resumed his composure, but…he climbed onto the bed and lay beside Hetzumi.

He looked at her…she was still as beautiful, no, ten times more gorgeous than he remembered her. She had this masculine face with subtle feminine charm…her gentle nose, full lips, and her eyes…he wanted to see her maroon eyes so badly… Dairek climbed on top of her and placed his lips on hers…

At first, he was shocked by his desire to touch her…but slowly…he rubbed his mouth and tongue within her mouth. Slowly, he felt Hetzumi kissing him back and wrapping her arms around him. He pressed harder as he shifted her legs apart to make room for his member to penetrate her… Dairek continued kissing her as she did the same…

He moaned gently as he watched her wake up. Hetzumi blinked twice as she stiffened and shoved Dairek off.

Dairek skillfully jumped off the bed and looked at her.

Hetzumi gasped, "Dairek…Dairek? Holy CRAP! What are you, of all people, doing here?" She scrambled into a sitting position and did nothing to cover her body… Her face was slightly pink from embarrassment, but her red eyes were snarling and in pure shock.

Dairek smiled gently and said, "What does it look like I am here for? I came to either kidnap you or take you with me. You can choose, but I will not leave until you pick one of the following choices."

Hetzumi sighed and said, "Look, I am fine. Look at me! Why I sleep naked if I feel threatened?"

Dairek had to nod at that, but he added, "The Hunassha is outside right now…seven members from the various branches are here. I am not sure of their plot, but I refuse to…you do not look concerned."

Hetzumi rolled her eyes and snarled, "let them come…I am tired of running."

Dairek groaned and said, "You cannot be serious about that! You have been running from the Hunassha for years! And now…you sit here and allow them to invade this hotel…because you are tired of running? What are you thinking? Are you thinking at all?"

Hetzumi glared at him and said, "This is what makes you a teenager than a ninja! You do not think of the bigger picture! I refuse to be moved."

Dairek stiffened and said, "Well, I could force you to come with me…if you prefer."

Hetzumi stood and said, "I would like to see you try." She took a robe on the floor and put it on. Her voice was hollow when he finished, "the Hunassha will be here in five minutes…if they figure out my message."

Dairek groaned deeply and said, "You told them you were here."

Hetzumi turned to him and nodded. She said, "I told you that your years make you stupid. Go home and be a lab rat for your father."

Dairek growled and pulled his Liberator out as he snarled, "I will not stand by to see you get killed by this mafia. Either you decide for yourself, or I decide for you."

Hetzumi smirked and said, "You do not—AHHH!" She stiffened when the single little bullet zoomed past her face and into the wall…mere inches from her left ear.

Dairek snarled, "Have you forgotten who my parents are? Have you forgotten who my parents' employer is? Have you forgotten how I got this scar? Common Hetzumi…I am fifteen now. You have not seen me since I was six years old. So many things can change in nine years…can't you agree?"

Hetzumi stiffened and revealed her right wrist. She snarled, "do not make me use this…I have a little friend that would gladly kick your ass for me. I need to be alive."

Dairek smirked and said, "Who said I was here to kill you? Also, who said I worked for the Hunassha?"

Hetzumi lowered her hand and said, "Who do you work for then?"

Dairek lowered his gun and said, "Myself."

Hetzumi snorted and said, "My father would kill your father before he would allow a perfect little child, like yourself, out of his hands."

Dairek smiled broadly and said, "I never swore alliance to Murder Lotus or the Hunassha…so, I escaped the debt and the membership to the Hunassha. Actually, the Hunassha thinks I am dead."

Hetzumi grimaced and said, "How?"

Dairek smiled with some charm and said, "I can vanish…like you did for a few years, but I have done it better."

Hetzumi blinked and said, "Well, good for you. But I have my answer…"

Dairek waited as she said, "I refuse to leave. I am willing to allow the Hunassha take me to the forefathers and do what they want. I am sick and tired of this crap, so…for the safety of everyone. I will surrender peacefully."

Silence engulfed the room as Dairek's cell phone buzzed. He clicked it to speaker phone as his agent said, "Just saw your father…and Murder Lotus. We are screwed…"

Dairek stared at Hetzumi and said to both of them, "not yet…get ready for jump."

"Yes sir." The agent hung up as Dairek turned his phone off.

Dairek walked forward as he said, "you can refuse to leave, but I will not leave without you."

Hetzumi held out her wrist again, but Dairek quickly grabbed his pen and pointed at Hetzumi's face. Dairek said, "my family specializes in poisons…remember? Also helicopters and other little tidbits that kept my family alive in the Hunassha…so, I can poison you or—"

SMASH…the window burst open in the living room as Dairek moaned and slammed his fist onto Hetzumi's stomach. Hetzumi gasped and leaned forward as Dairek lifted her onto his shoulder. He opened the door as he stared at Ryder.

Ryder said, "Murder Lotus is outside the door!" The door rattled with force as people tried to enter…

Dairek moaned and ran to the window. He said, "Enjoy the flight…"

Hetzumi moaned, "Don't you even…." She screamed as Dairek threw her out the window…as she landed into the arms of an awaiting agent of Dairek's in a helicopter. The helicopter flew away before the Hunassha saw anything or any symbol to locate Hetzumi by…

Ryder and Dairek nodded before they took a deep breath and ran outside the window…they fell for a few feet before another speed style helicopter caught them and flew away. Dairek quickly went to the pilot and said, "Follow Hetzumi's helicopter quickly before the Hunassha gets any ideas."

The pilot nodded as ten minutes passed…they caught up to Hetzumi's helicopter. Dairek waited until the helicopters were close enough…he jumped.

One of his agents grabbed him and snarled, "you are…too cool so times…" He pulled him in as he looked at Jani and Hetzumi. Both women were sitting, but they wore different expressions. Jani looked excited and smiled at Dairek. Hetzumi glaring at him as she crossed her arms in defiance.

Dairek said, "Ladies, we have a long journey before we reach my personal island—"

"AN ISLAND! Holy crap! I am going to Hawaii! This is so damn COOL!" Jani said as she clapped excitedly.

Hetzumi snarled, "your father will find us very quickly…you might as well give up."

Dairek smiled and said, "You doubt my vanishing? Trust me Hetzumi, you will disappear from their view very quickly…so, you both will be equipped with new technology and have new code names for protection purposes."

"I will escape again, so give up all ready." Hetzumi snarled.

Dairek smirked and said, "By your little wizard? Please bring him out; I always wanted to meet him."

Hetzumi snarled darkly, "you knew! How?"

Dairek smiled and said, "how do you think I found you…I asked him." He tapped on the pilot's window as Hallwil turned and smirked at Hetzumi.

Hetzumi stared in shock as she loosened her arms to allow them to flop to her sides. She said, "how…did you…no. You did not make a pact with him, did you?"

Dairek showed his clean wrists and said, "No, he found me to ask me to protect you. Since he knew from his little Strawberry friend, I have a vanishing trail and an appearance when I want to. So, he asked me to steal you from your plan of surrender to the Hunassha."

Jani opened and closed her mouth. She just watched as she turned to Hetzumi.

Hetzumi groaned and turned away. She snarled, "Fuck you…"

Dairek smirked and said, "Well, hopefully a few months away from Japan will calm you down. Right now, you can have whatever you need for your business."

Hetzumi stiffened and said, "You…are going to let me work…than be your sex slave?"

Dairek snorted and said, "A sex slave? Dear Hetzumi, I have more respect for you than lowering your standard to sex slave. No, I only kissed you before…out of uncontrollable teenager hormones. I do want your body…very deeply, but I am not going to force you. There is no point…"

Hetzumi turned as he finished, "you will either surrender your body to me, or I will surrender my body to you…either way, I will touch, penetrate and have you. I am very patient and yet…hormonal. As are you as well, so…we shall see what will happen next."

No one said anything until Hetzumi snarled, "You can go to hell and rot beside all the ash-stricken snakes before I submit to you! I will never have sex with you…" Her eyes blazed with rage…but Dairek smiled seductively than being intimated by her glare.

Dairek smirked and said, "Good, I prefer resistance in my sexual partners than willing…it makes foreplay much more fun."

Hetzumi crossed her body as much as possible as Dairek laughed and sat down. He said, "you will change your mind…I guarantee it."

"Grow up and suck on an ugly bitch, asshole." Hetzumi growled.

"I expected that rage…you have been tossed, thrown, and hurt for a few months now. Do not worry, you are safe now." Dairek said as he whispered to the pilots. The pilots nodded as Hallwil said to Hetzumi, "I need to return to Strike Butcher, but I will return to you soon."

Hetzumi growled, "Traitor."

Hallwil giggled and went to her. He said, "I told him nothing of our deal, but I expect you to fulfill it when I return to you."

Hetzumi snarled, "I will get to it later…but I expect more loyalty from you. This is not part of our agreement."

Hallwil showed his wrist as a small burn was on it… He admitted, "I know, but I refuse to hand you over to the Hunassha. That was the only way to save you, so I made a small disobedience thing. A scar is worth the deal's finalization. Until next time." Hallwil nodded to Dairek and jumped out of the helicopter.

Jani was the only one who screamed and freaked out by saying, "he jumped out of the helicopter!"

Hetzumi snarled, "He is a wizard! He disappeared before he landed on the ground…"

Jani's mouth dropped as she stuttered, "So…Harry Potter is not just a book! It's real! Dude, I am so glad I signed up now!"

Hetzumi growled, "This is not a game! This is…forget it!" She turned away from Jani and glared at Dairek.

Dairek smiled at her and said, "I like Jani. She is…unusual for one of my new employees but worth watching. Ryder likes her…so, I got two birds with one stone."

Jani blinked and said, "Who is Ryder?"

Dairek said, "My older brother."

Hetzumi growled, "So, you have a bunch of fans in your gang?"

Dairek said, "I do not have a gang. A group of free people to work for me and to protect you, that's all."

Hetzumi snarled, "Traitor, mafia, and asshole…what title would you choose?"

Dairek smiled broadly and said, "Whatever title that makes you want me sooner."

Hetzumi grimaced and growled, "Fuck off!"

Dairek said, "Never, I rather fuck you."

Jani giggled as Hetzumi sneered and slowly regained her composure. Hetzumi said, "Do you realize I am eight years older than you, correct?"

Dairek said, "Yes, so losing my virginity would be fun with your experience to teach me all the dirtiest shit out there."

Hetzumi turned anger very quickly and snarled, "you will lose…I swear it!"

Dairek said, "I hope I lose it all to you, Hetzumi-kun."

Hetzumi turned away and snarled, "No respect towards me won't get you closer to me."

Dairek came closer to her and said, "I give you all the respect in the world, but at least remember this…"

Hetzumi glared at him as he finished, "I might be patient, but I want you in every possible. I will not lie…I love your body. But do want to love the soul, heart and person within that gorgeous body…that part needs time, respect and patience. I will wait…but remember every glance you have from me…is only to admire you."

Dairek stood and went to an empty seat behind her. He buckled in as she turned to him.

Hetzumi snarled, "I had plenty of people calling me gorgeous, sexually addicting, ruined relationships, and even miscarried your brother's child…what makes you think your words mean shit to me?"

Dairek stiffened at the miscarriage part, but he smiled at the end of the sentence. He said, "I will not relent since I know you are a woman trying to be a man…or vice versa. Either way, I want you. I refuse to let you go now."

Hetzumi snarled, "you think kidnapping me and all this crap will make me like you? Never!" She turned away and huffed angrily.

Dairek said, "I will do anything for you…just say the word."

Hetzumi stiffened and mumbled, "Do not…talk like Conto…please."

Dairek sighed and unbuckled his seatbelt. He gently rubbed her shoulders as Hetzumi tensed at first but slowly allowed him to rub her shoulders. His voice was deep and low for her ears alone, "I am sorry about your miscarriage…but I will have you. My brother was a fool to leave you like this…for that I apologize. But, I will never leave you. Also, I am sorry for being late…" He kissed her cheek and said, "I will always be here for you…Hetzumi."

Hetzumi started to sob as she swatted his hands off of her. She turned away and sobbed, "Just…give me space. I am so evil…why do people want to protect me?"

Jani smiled and said, "confused, but not evil…I can tell."

Dairek nodded and said, "thank you, Jani. And yes, I agree with her. Hetzumi…for so long, you have been the hurt one. The one begging for love…now, you can relax. I will wait even if it takes years…you are worth every second of the wait."

Hetzumi spun to him and whimpered, "why? Your brother said the same thing to me! He raped me into the pregnancy and… I have been around other men and women… I do not know who or what I am anymore… I hate everything."

Dairek backed away and said, "Space, plenty of toys, and a therapist. Anything else you require?"

Hetzumi sighed and said, "Do not kiss me…ever again." Her tears kept falling as she looked out the window.

Dairek sighed and said, "I promise…for now." He clenched his fists. Someone broke Hetzumi so deeply…this was not the same fiery, opinionated, and beauty he met years ago. She was ripped by his older brother, miscarried a child, and seeks love from other people…like a whore. He almost wanted to cry too for the way she destroyed herself…for others. His gulp helped keeping the tears away, but he could help but say, "Taka-san…"

Hetzumi turned to him as he said, "I am very sorry for your pain, but I promise you will be safe. I will die for your safety, I swear it."

Dairek kept his face stern and full of promise. Hetzumi sighed and said, "join the club…you will lose like all of them did." She turned away before she saw Dairek's wounded face.

He sighed and said, "Well…I have some work to do then."

The helicopter flew into the night as everyone said nothing else for the rest of the ride.
