Animes in this Chapter: Descendants of Darkness

Chapter 1: The Start of a Mission

It was just like any other day that I hung out with Ti and the girls, uneventful but anything but dull. Ti was on his cell phone talking to someone, who I didn't know. I had long since stopped trying to overhear him, ever since that incident with his boyfriend that I overheard; I really didn't need to know anymore about that vampires mind… much less suffer the consequences again. My arm still held a scar, and I got of light because I'm human.

"Hey, Mina, you're coming with me to Japan." He said hanging up. Just like that, yup, that's Ti.

A note about Ti. He's over 2000 years old and can walk in the sun, he just gets rash's… it's more like he's allergic to sunlight instead of dusting in sunlight… I've known him for about 4 years now and our relationship is rocky at best. I adopted him as my brother and he is just like an annoying little brother… a 4 year old to be exact, when he wants to be anyway.

"Again? What about my mum? And school? Last time didn't end so great back home. Gone for two weeks without much of an explanation other then, 'I'll be home when I'm done' and that didn't go over real well. If I do it again I really will be thrown into Juvie…"

"You're going to Cleo's as a cover. She lives a few states away; your mum should be use to you taking off for weeks at a time without much explanation." He doesn't get it…

"Oh, don't worry, she is. She just doesn't like it and neither does the jerk. She knows where Cleo lives so she can just either send the police there or go herself... or worse yet she can sent the jurk there to get me instead. They still think I'm doing illegal stuff even though all of the tests come back completely clean." It's true, she's always making me take some kind of test. Ever since she started living with the jerk (aka step-father) I haven't been around much and he gets all these test's free so every time I do decide to show up which isn't often and its usually just to sleep, I have to take one of them.

"That's just wrong how she makes you test all the time. Honestly, you've been a strait A student ever since that mission in Japan last year. What was his name? Murky? Maki?" I shuddered.

"Dr. Muraki." I really don't need to be reminded of that hideous man with the face of an angel and an uncanny love for doll.

"Sorry Mina, but it's true." Sara said. It was, but that didn't mean I liked the fact that he abducted me while on the job and messed around with my head… Even if it did make me academically smart. He was definitely a creeper.

"Don't worry about it," I said to her trying not to think about it myself, too much time has already been spent thinking about it and there was nothing I could do to change the past. As Ti says 'Shit Happens'. I turned back to said vampire, "How long are we going for? And when are we leaving?"

"I estimate about a week maybe a little more, it really depends on how fast we can track this guy. You will be staying with your cousin Ichigo while helping the Ministry of Hades with a situation. We will be leaving in about ten minutes to catch the 5:45 plane."

"So quickly?" Vali asked with a furrowed brow.

"Ten minutes!?! TEN MINUTES TIDUS!!! WHAT THE BLOODY HELL AM I SUPOSE TO WEAR!?! I have two sets of clothes!!!" I smacked him. If I didn't have any clothes that meant shopping... me+shopping=bad. Very Bad

"You're going to have to get a new wardrobe once there. I'm sure Yutaka will be more then pleased to go shopping with you. Who knows, he might even pay for it all." Ti said with a slight smile. I couldn't help but agreeing, Yutaka Watari was an odd one to say the least and loved shopping almost more than any girl. "Come on, we have to go," he turned to the girls, "Sorry for such short notice, but they need our help." The girls reassured him that it was alright and we left. It was a quiet ride to the airport, as it should have been for if that Vampire had said two words more about the whole shopping thing, I would have to kill him. Mrs. Reed wasn't exactly happy about us always running off to the airport, but she understood a little of what was going on in our elite group of teenagers and young adults, so she kept her opinions to herself. Not like she would be able to understand why anyway.

"Thank you, we'll call when we can." Ti said, she just grunted in response and drove off. While I was still pissed about my clothes, I understood why Ti didn't allow time for me to pack; it meant no waiting for lost belongings on foreign turf. I sighed, I knew something was up and it was only a matter of time before I found out.

"Ti, why didn't you take one of the other girls? It's well past Silke's time to go on a 'mission'."

"One, Chief Konoe requested it and two, Dr. Muraki was mentioned; I thought it best for you to deal with him. We will be briefed once we get there." Our pass ports where checked and the lady looked surprised at all the stamp marks on the passport that I presented but she didn't say anything. We quickly found our seats and prepared for a good 13 hour plane ride back to Japan. I don't know why I bothered coming back home last time, there really was no point since I just kept going back maybe I should just stay there this time and live with Ichigo and not worry about coming back, of course I was going to be truant from school so if I did return I really wouldn't be able to go again... I started to drifted off into a restless sleep. Dreams of Dr. Muraki made everything harder.
