Part 2
会議は、分離の始まりに過ぎない。
A meeting is only the beginning of a separation.
"So, please, feel free to call me Shinichi."
"Not a common name." Klaus responded, while narrowing his sight on his host, before crossing his arms in front of his chest and elevating his chin in the air as a confrontation gesture. "What exactly is the "Kitsune" species, some kind of mutation between a werewolf and a vampire?"
"I'm not a common man, my friend. I would go as far as telling you that I could easily become your worst nightmare if you would think of becoming my worst enemy one day. As for my species, all in good time, Klaus…All in good time," Shinichi said, while approaching the hybrid, and drowning his sight in Klaus's. "So, what will it be, will I count you as a friend or an enemy?"
"You already know the answer to that question; I don't play nice when I'm abducted against my will. But, because I am willing to give you the chance to let me go before ripping your body into thousands of pieces of flesh, we could forget that this meeting ever happen. Don't say after that I am not willing to be considerate, my dear Karate Kid!" Klaus responded, while smirking at him.
"How refreshing, I love your sense of humour, my dear friend." Shinichi exclaimed, with laughter in his voice. "Come, follow me! I would like to show you something." He added, with a hand gesture to follow him out of the office, while pushing a secret passage in one of the office walls.
Klaus stood motionless, closed fists near his body. He would have reacted sooner if only Caroline haven't been held hostage, somewhere, in this building, by this Japanese man named Shinichi. But, without knowing where she was, and if she was safe, he needed to control his temper instead of snapping the neck of their jailer.
Shinichi turned himself to take a look at Klaus, while smirking and adding.
"There are at least ten guards posted behind the door of this office, you would not have the slimmest chance to escape without my authorization to let you pass."
Klaus sighed with anger, before taking a few walking steps to follow Shinichi into the hidden corridor.
"What is you purpose in this orchestrated theatrical play, mate? Revenge on my family?" Klaus asked, while staring at Shinichi's back.
"Like I've told you, Klaus, all will be revealed in good time. Such eagerness in an Original hybrid of a thousand of years, you are surprising me, more and more with time passing by." Shinichi acknowledge.
"Where's Caroline?" Klaus enquired, while feeling his muscles tensing.
"The beautiful Caroline is enjoying a peaceful moment; no harm will be done to her. You have my word, Klaus." Shinichi swore.
"You word is nothing to me!" Klaus mumbled, angrily, between his teeth.
"Perhaps, but it is the only thing that I can give to you, at this present moment." Shinichi replied, before pushing a glass panel in front of his sight. "I was eager to show you one of my passions. The one I enjoy the most, my friend." He added, while inviting Klaus to enter a rounded room, with wall to wall, showcases.
"I could easily show you one of my passions, also…Mine is to kill enemies! And most of the times, I even enjoy it!" Klaus responded, tit for tat, while narrowing his sight on Shinichi, who busted into laughter.
"Always so quick on your feet, Klaus, we can actually count this as something that you have in common with your brother." Shinichi answered, while smirking, before turning to present a showcase to Klaus. "I specifically build this rounded room to remove the negative effect of the pointed objects, Fen-Shui can help, I guess." He explained, while crossing his arms in front of his chest.
Klaus scattered the room rapidly, while blenching under his discovery. Behind the one inch thick glass, a collection display of swords, daggers and knifes.
"This specific one…" Shinichi paused, while pointing a sword to Klaus. "Was one of the pair of swords that belonged to the well-known Samurai Musashi, who was born in 1584. He was an expert in handling two swords in combat."
"Did you say: one of the pair?' Klaus repeated, in a condescending tone of voice. "I'm surprised you were not able to obtain the other sword? A man of your prestige…Was it a lack of persuasion, not able to abduct the owner, or he was simply too difficult to kill?"
"A little bit of everything." Shinichi replied, smirking. "But you see my friend, when you live for an eternity, like you and I, why rushing a perfect game? The hunter enjoys watching his prey, studying very carefully every of its move, its weakness, and then the chase begins. But, after the chase, the fun is over. Let just say that I've enjoyed studying the weakness, the most." Shinichi replied, winking at Klaus, who knew with certainty that the last sentence was directed at him and his family.
Shinichi crossed both of his hands behind his back, while taking a few walking steps, before pointing a black velvet support that was empty.
"This is for my newest addition; I did not have the time to put the dagger on its support yet." He announced proudly to Klaus.
Klaus closed his fists in anger, before positioning himself in front of the glass, while staring at the empty support. It was now obvious to him, that the new owner of the silver dagger and the killer of Alaric Saltzman, was actually the same man, and was standing by his side.
"Cut to the chase, what do you want from me, revenge?" Klaus asked, between his teeth, while fixating the empty support. "If you did not want something from me or my brother, you would have already killed me already."
"Today, my friend, I simply wanted to meet with you and your delightful friend, Miss Caroline Forbes, and to share one of my passions. Who can say what I'll want tomorrow?" Shinichi responded, with a devious smile blessing his lips.
Klaus turned his head, slowly, before staring angrily into Shinichi's eyes.
"After all, who could say? Maybe one day we'll be fighting, against each other, with a sword in each hand, in a loyal combat." Shinichi added.
"I doubt there's anything loyal about you." Klaus responded.
Shinichi lost his smile in an instant, while raising his chin and drowning his dark eyes in Klaus's.
"Let's play a game, Klaus." Shinichi said, while walking slow steps around him.
"Who'll kill the other first?" Klaus responded to him, while following each of Shinichi's movements very carefully.
"Did you already forget what I've mention to you previously, my friend? We have eternity to play this game, why rush it?" Shinichi responded, while smirking. "Now, let's play another fun game: I'll give you ten minutes to find Mrs. Caroline Forbes, and leave my headquarters, or, your life and the one of your delightful friend could be in danger. What do you think? Could this game be to your satisfactory?" He inquired, before looking at his watch, while starting his chronometer and adding. "The game is starting right now!"
"You're bluffing?" Klaus said, doubtful.
"And you're willing to bet the vampire life of your beautiful friend on this? Such a shame, I wanted to meet her again…Oh well, my lost then…9 minutes 32 seconds." Shinichi counted.
Klaus turned on his heels, before running into the corridor with his vampire speed.
Caroline paced back and forth in the flowers garden, while rubbing her hands nervously. Something about this lunch meeting with this Arian Satō seemed strange to her. And now that she had been waiting for what seemed to be an eternity for him to return, she could feel in her guts that something was definitely not adding up.
What happened next took her by surprise; two strong arms grabbed her from behind, with a hand covering her mouth, forbidding her to scream, while dragging her away from the garden.
In the time space of seconds, she was standing in the middle of a corridor, before being pushed into the service stairs.
"Shhh, It's o.k. it's me, Caroline!" Klaus murmured into her ears, before facing her.
"What…What is going on?" Caroline asked him, in state of shock, while grabbing his forearms.
"Listen to me!" He ordered, while grabbing her shoulders. "We're in danger; we need to evacuate this building as quickly as possible. We'll take the service stairs to reach the lobby, and we'll keep running with our speed as fast as we can toward the hotel, do you understand?"
Caroline locked her eyes with Klaus's, while shaking her head in approval.
"We'll run in our vampire speed in front of the public eyes, but why?" She asked, with a trace of anxiety in her voice.
"We don't have time for chit-chat, Love. Just…Don't let go of my hand, ok?" He responded, evasively, while watching the screen of his wristwatch, before handing his left hand to her. "Do you understand me?"
Caroline nodded her head in approval, before sliding her shaking hand in Klaus's, and squeezing hard.
The descent to the ground floor by the service stairs was actually easier than expected. They rushed toward the revolving doors, while escaping the glass prison, in a matter of a few seconds.
They ran for several minutes, with their vampire speed, along several busy streets. Klaus suddenly stopped in the middle of the sidewalk, while scattering quickly the two sides of this corporate busy street of Tokyo, before passing a hand through his tangled hair. They were in luck; it was the lunch hour, hundreds of people were walking rapidly, with only one thing in their minds, to reach their final destinations.
Klaus pulled Caroline into a dark alley, between two restaurants, while suddenly stopping their vampire pace and holding her immobile in the comfort of his arms, with all his vampire senses in alert. He rapidly scattered both sides of the alley, and noticed several motorcyclists, all dressed in black, with a Japanese combat sign of two swords, on their helmets.
"They are men of Shinichi." Klaus informed her in a low murmur, while counting seven of them; they were standing immobile, on their motorcycles, with their dark glances directed at them.
"Who's Shinichi?" Caroline asked, dumbfounded, while turning her head and noticing the dark figures.
"I don't have time to explain all of this to you now, Love. We need to run!" Klaus ordered.
"Oh, no… Don't you dare give me that attitude of the Alpha man! I've said yes to an agreement of seven dates, I never agreed to put my life in danger, I deserve to hear the truth, Klaus?" She asked the hybrid.
"Look at me, Caroline!" Klaus busted, while grabbing her shoulders. "We need to run; there is no time to have a chat!"
"No! I won't continue running until you explain to me what is going on?" She responded, before suddenly feeling dizzy, and grabbing Klaus's forearms to help her stand on her legs. "I… I don't feel well…" She stammered, while closing her eyes.
"Caroline?" He called her name, while taking her chin in his right hand, before looking into her eyes. "Caroline? Stay with me!" He added, while gently slapping both of her cheeks. "Love, what did he give you to drink? Arian Satō, what did he give you? Answer me?" He yelled.
Caroline heard his voice threw her blurry mind, while feeling herself slipping slowly into unconsciousness, before opening her eyes, and trying to stay focus for a bit longer.
"I don't …. I don't remember … Tea…I drank tea…" She managed to answer, before fainting into Klaus's arms.
"Caroline!" Klaus yelled, while rapidly sliding his hands underneath her knees, and taking her in his arms. "If he injured you in any way, I swear, he won't live to see another day!" He mumbled, angrily, between his teeth, while hearing the engines sound of the motorcycles, before seeing the dark figures reaching them in full speed. He held Caroline close to his chest and heart, while kissing her forehead, before running, in his vampire speed, as fast as he could.
"We did what?" Matt asked Rebekah, in total shock, while still standing in the middle of the entrance of the Mikaelson's Manor.
"Forget what I've said, Matt. I don't know why I've said that in the first place." She mumbled, nervously, to him, while blushing and lowering her sight away from his.
"Forget about it?" Matt exclaimed, while grabbing Rebekah's shoulders to make her face him. "You just told me that we made love. How do you want me to forget about that, Rebekah?" He added, while shaking his head in disbelief.
"I…I just…I know that it was a casual thing…So, I don't want you to feel obligated toward me." She replied, while nervously rubbing her hands together. Rebekah, you've just put yourself in real trouble with this lie! She thought in her mind.
"A casual thing, you say?" Matt repeated, a dumbfounded expression plastered on his face. "I don't do casual thing, Rebekah, and I doubt that it was anything but casual between us." He added, while passing a hand through his hair, before pacing back and forth in front of her sight. "So, when did we do this casual thing, at the lake? We were rolling on the ground like animal?" He asked, while shrugging his shoulders.
"Well, like I've said to you Matt, it was something that happened in the moment. You don't need to fuss over it, we needed to feel good, we were lonely, and we took this opportunity to make each other feel better." She mumbled, between her teeth, while avoiding raising her sight in his.
"Then what happened? We shook hands and decided to double date in the wood with Caroline and your bother?" Matt commented, sarcastically.
"Not exactly...They had car trouble, and you'd decided, without knowing that it was them, to check it out. You were worrying about random people being stuck on a deserted route at night." Rebekah explained, briefly. "But, it's in the past now, don't think about it."
"Don't think about it?" Matt repeated in shock, before exclaiming. "You've just told me that I was compelled by one of my best friend to forget the events of a specific night, and if that was not enough, a night when we made love for the first time!"
"Thinking about it now, I would not say we made love, it was more like we made wild sex in nature." She responded to him, while lowering her flushed cheeks. What could have possessed her to lie to him?
"We made what?" Matt inquired, in shock. "So, it was that bad then?" He asked.
How am I supposed to know how it was, it never happened! Rebekah thought in her mind.
"I've never said that it was bad, so why would you say it yourself?" She replied, while pointing a finger toward Matt.
"Well, I don't know, Rebekah, could it be because I don't remember a fucking thing about that night!" Matt exclaimed, before adding. "And it must have been bad for you to say that we had sex without even an ounce of feelings in your tone of voice." Matt explained, furthermore. "Maybe you want to forget about it?"
"What? No, of course not! I don't want to forget about it." She replied, while putting her hands on each side of her waist. How could she forget about something that had never occurred to begin with? "I am trying to help you feel…Feel…" She tried to explain.
"Feel what, Rebekah? Make me feel better? If this is what you're trying to do…You have certainly a weird way of showing it to me!" Matt busted in her face.
"You know what, Matt?" She replied, while shaking her head. "Maybe it's you who don't want to have feelings toward the event? Maybe you're happy that you are not remembering anything specific about that night?" She added, while turning on her heels, before climbing the stairs, and disappearing into the second floor of the Manor.
Matt stood immobile in the main entrance, with a shock expression on his face.
"How can she do this to me every damn time?" He mumbled to himself, while shrugging his shoulders in disbelief.
A warm rain fell suddenly from the Tokyo sky, mixed with a spicy/flowery scent in the air. Klaus had managed to lose their assailants, while directing his running pace toward the crowd of the fruits and flowers outdoor opened markets.
"Mm….Rain…" Caroline mumbled, incoherently, in his arms.
Klaus lowered his sight, while tightening his arms around the young woman.
"Caroline, you're awake? Stay with me, my love! You hear me, stay awake!" He asked, while sweet kissing her forehead.
"It smells good." She whispered, before losing consciousness once more.
"Caroline? Caroline!" He repeated her name, before scattering the opened markets one more time and taking off toward their hotel that was located a couple of streets away.
Their personal butler opened the Penthouse doors, while letting Klaus carrying Caroline in his arms toward the bedroom suite.
"私はすぐに、血液バッグを必要とする"- "I need a blood bag, quickly!" Klaus shouted in Japanese to the butler, while gently placing her body on the silk bedspread. "Caroline, please come back to me, Love?" He whispered, tenderly, to her, while caressing her hair and cheeks, before pacing, back and forth, in front of the bed.
The butler came back with several blood bags hidden in a fabric bag, before handing one to Klaus.
"今すぐお任せください！"- "Now leave!" He ordered the Japanese man, before tearing the blood bag with his teeth, raising the upper body of Caroline in his arms, and bringing the red elixir to her mouth.
Caroline leaped in her unconsciousness, while slowly opening her eyes. She drank the thick, rich, red substance, before spitting out the blood, while coughing.
"I don't want it!" She mumbled, to Klaus, while pushing his hands, and starting to twitch in his arms. "I'm cold…I'm so cold…What is happening to me?" She asked, while trying to get rid of her wet clothes. "Arian…Where's Arian?" She called, obviously delusional.
Klaus closed his fists in anger at her saying. That man would pay of his blood – That was a promise that he was making to himself. He raised his hand on her forehead while feeling that her skin was as cold as ice under his fingers, and her complexion as white as snow.
"You're losing life inside of you; Love. How is it even possible?" He questioned himself, while getting back on his feet, before getting rid of his wet clothes: jacket, long sleeves t-shirt, jeans, boot. He threw them on the floor a second later, while standing chest naked, with only black boxer, as only clothe.
He lowered his upper body, while sliding his hands under her knees and on the crucible of her back, before rising Caroline in his arms and walking toward the bathroom. He held her body in a standing position, her back pushed on the tiles, while passing her clothes over her head, and throwing them on the floor a second later, before sliding his hands on her rounded hips, lowering the zipper of her jeans, while slowly pushing the wet fabric on her feet, leaving Caroline on her underwear in front of his sight. She mumbled incoherent sounds, while turning her head alternatively from left to right, and vice-versa, her lips turning the color of deep blue.
"I'm so cold…" She whispered, while closing her eyes again, slowly drifting into unconsciousness again.
"I know my love; I'll bring you back to life. I can't lose you now…You need to stay awake." Klaus responded, while rubbing the length of her arms, to bring back her vampire life into her.
He opened the door of the glass shower, before opening the hot water faucet, and bringing a semi-conscious Caroline under the water, with one arm placed around her waist, while the other hand was holding her head. He pushed her back on the glass wall, while slowly feeling the healing steam of the water wrapping them of its heat.
"Open your eyes for me, Caroline; come back to me, Sweetheart." He begged of her, while continuing to rub her body, his fingers sliding from the roundness of her breasts, to her thin waist, while rubbing her belly in slow motions, before sliding on her hips and thighs.
"It feels so good, but… But, I want to sleep." She mumbled, while moaning sounds of pleasure. She slowly re-opened her eyes under her blurred vision, with her hands rising on his muscular chest, while grabbing the top of his shoulders.
"No, Caroline, you can't fall asleep, sweetheart, you hear me?" He ordered, while grabbing her chin to raise her head and drowning his sight in hers, before noticing the pink color back in her cheeks. "Stay focus, Caroline…Feel my hands on you, feel the life coming back in your body, the heat between us, that is consuming your entire self…Forget about Arian Satō, I'm the one in your system...I'm the one that flowing into your veins, intoxicating your all being."
"Yes." She whispered, before lowering her head on his shoulders, while feeling an intense wave of heat wrapping her body. Klaus's right hand caressed her lower back, with his chin placed on top of her head, his left hand caressing her hair, while slowly pulling her body under the shower head, water now running fluently on their bodies. "It feels good." She whispered, her lips hydrated by the drops of water that were streaming on Klaus's chest, drinking them while sliding her mouth on his skin, with her hands caressing the muscles in his back.
"Caroline." Klaus softly whisper her name, while closing his eyes to stay focus on the task at hands, his entire body tensed to the extreme of his tolerance. He was finally holding her body, in his arms. "You can't do this…We can't do this." He murmured, incoherently, while cupping her face in his hands, his sight locked in hers, before sliding his eyes on her body, on her wet underwear leaving no room for his imagination. "You're so beautiful, I need to control myself." He murmured to himself, while trying to get a grip on his desire.
"Kiss me?" She asked, in a semi-state of awareness.
"Caroline…Don't…." He murmured, while lowering his head, his lips almost touching hers. "We can't do this now; Love, even if I want to make you mine more than you could ever imagine.
Caroline raised her arms around his neck, while sliding her trembling lips on his. Klaus moaned with pleasure, slowly responding to her kiss, while sliding his hands on her bottom, under the elastic of her lace panties, before pushing her back on the glass wall, deepening his kiss by sliding his tongue in the wetness of her mouth.
"No, we can't!" Klaus mumbled, angrily, between his teeth, before detaching his lips from hers, his hands now placed, on the glass wall, on each side of her head, while controlling the intense physical desire he had to make Caroline his. "Relax, Caroline…Relax, you'll feel better soon." He tried to calm her, while raising his head to take a glimpse at her.
Caroline closed her eyes, while feeling life emerging back into her veins, in intense waves of energy, the energy of the Alpha Man. She finally remembered the previous events of the day: her meeting with Arian, their intense exchange, the Jasmine tea, the escape with Klaus into the streets of Tokyo, fainting in his arms…
"Oh" She exclaimed, while grabbing his arms and reopening her eyes, suddenly regaining her normal state of mind, before blushing intensively at the half naked sight of Klaus's body.
"You're back!" Klaus noticed, while smiling, and caressing her hair. "How do you feel, Love?"
"A bit dizzy, but I'm ok. What happened?" She asked, before noticing that she was standing in the shower, with her wet underwear glued to her body, like a second skin.
"Arian Satō drugged you, Caroline." Klaus explained to her, while closing his fists in anger, before adding. "I had the fright of my life; I thought I was losing you for good this time, Love."
"I just have one last question." She said, while drowning her sight in Klaus's.
"You can ask me anything, sweetheart." He responded, while caressing her cheeks with the back of his right hand.
"Why am I standing half- naked in the shower with your presence?" Caroline asked, while arching one of her eyebrows.
In the dumbest things that Rebekah had done in her vampire life, this one would certainly win the gold medal, she thought while lying in her bed. The only solution she had found in her head to not make the situation worse, and this after the realization of her huge lie to Matt, had been to leave him alone in the downstairs entrance, while praying that he had left the Manor. But it was obviously a wishful thinking of her part.
Her bedroom door creaked while being pushed open, with the sudden appearance of Matt under its arch.
"How many bedrooms are there in this Manor?" Matt asked the Original, while taking a few walking steps to reach her lying position on the bed.
"There are fifteen bedrooms in the manor." She responded, evasively, to the young man.
"Well, then I saw all of them before finding yours." He replied, with a timid smile on his lips.
"It's the down side of having money I guess." She responded, while smiling back at him.
"Can I lie beside you?" He asked, making her startled with surprise at his request.
"Sure." She answered, while shrugging her shoulders, falsely indifferent.
Matt lay down beside Rebekah, before smiling, and turning on his side to face her.
"I'm sorry." Matt presented his apology.
Rebekah swallowed a small lump in her throat, before locking her sight with his.
"What are you sorry for, Matt?" She asked him, while shaking her head. "You've been compelled, lied to, badly treated by me and others and you're sorry? Are you a saint or what? Because I'm not used to have an angel by my side…You see my brothers are anything but saint…And frankly, I don't know how to react when I am with you." She tried to explain to him.
Matt's smile spread on his lips. He raised his right hand, to caress her cheeks.
"I'm sorry because I did not think for a second that forgetting a moment between us could make you doubt yourself." He explained to her, before adding. "And I remembered that you brought me to the lake, today, because you told me that you were mad that a moment had been stolen from you….I had no idea, Rebekah, that behind your "I don't give a damn" exterior, you were more sensitive than what people give you credit for." He added, while sliding strands of hair behind her left ear.
Oh crap! Rebekah thought, while closing her eyes, this was getting out of hands now.
"It's ok." She mumbled, while lowering her flushed cheeks, before shrugging her shoulders.
Matt lowered his hand on her mouth, while caressing her lips with his thumb, before sliding his body near hers.
"I wanted you, I always wanted you." He confessed to her. "Even if we are on opposite team, you always caught my eyes. You're beautiful, intelligent, full of life, and sexy as hell." He confessed, shyly. "And if it was not for Caroline's compulsion on me, I could never imagine forgetting about making love to you…Just the thought of it is making my knees shake." He added while blushing.
Rebekah sighed, while feeling tears filling her eyes. She had never heard these words from a man's mouth before. Just for that fact, she needed to tell him the truth, at the risk of losing him forever.
"Matt, I don't know what to say…I'm sorry, you need to listen to me…I …" She stammered.
"Shh…." He responded, while placing a finger on her lips to silence her.
He grabbed her chin, while raising her head and drowning his sight in hers, before lowering his lips on Rebekah's to kiss her deeply. She reacted by moaning sounds of pleasure, while sliding her left hand at the base of his neck, before caressing his hair.
"I just want to hold you in my arms." He murmured while detaching his lips from hers, before pulling Rebekah in his arms, kissing the top of her head and closing his eyes.
Klaus was standing in front of the opened terrace door, of his lightless master bedroom, with his right forearm elevated on the arch, while looking at the night sky and slowly gulping a glass of Whisky. He had dressed himself with a dark grey jean, bare chest and feet, with his curly hair still wet from the shower. They both had parted in their respective bedroom, after the awkwardness of the shower scene.
He suddenly felt the presence of Caroline behind him, standing over the threshold in the darkness of the room. He turned on himself, while swallowing a lump in his throat. She was wearing a long t-shirt, with her long bare legs offered to his sight, and her wet hair falling on her shoulders, in a cascade of blond curls. She reached his standing position, while grabbing his glass of Whisky from his hands, before gulping the rest of it, and handing it back to him.
"Thanks, I needed that..." She gave this simple explanation, while nicely surprising him. "Especially, after being drugged by this Arian Satō guy, I hope of never meeting him again."
"Are you feeling better?" The hybrid asked her. "Did you drink your blood bag?"
"Yes, I drank it, and, I'm ok." She responded, while nodding her head.
"You should rest. We'll take the jet back to Mystic Falls, tomorrow morning." He informed her.
"It's fine by me." She agreed, while turning on herself to reach the corridor that was leading to her own bedroom, before whispering. "Good night."
"Good night, Caroline." He greeted himself, while seeing her disappear from his sight, before throwing his glass, with anger, on the terrace cement, before breaking it into pieces. "Damn it!" He exclaimed, while pacing back and forth in the middle of the room. Elijah had warned him that he would put Caroline in danger, and that is exactly what had happened. And the worst thing was that he couldn't explain to her that Shinichi had the silver dagger in his possession. He trusted her, but he couldn't trust the others. Even, if he had vaguely explained to her, that Shinichi and Arian Satō, was the same person.
He reached the bed, before lying on top of the bedspread, his right forearm tucked underneath his head, while fixating the shadows of light reflecting on the ceiling. That Shinichi man would not give up so easily, it was the kind of individual that would fight until death to obtain what he wanted, and Klaus was not even certain what it was exactly: The extermination of the vampire specie? Revenge on his family? Caroline? He needed to speak to Elijah and clarify with him what had happened in the past between him and the Japanese man?
He closed his eyes, while sighing, and trying to rest his mind for a short moment, before sensing Caroline presence back in the bedroom. He opened his eyes, noticing that she was standing at the foot of the bed, while nervously rubbing her hands together. He straightened his upper body in a sitting position, while fixating his sight on her.
"I'm scare." She confessed to him.
"Come…" He suggested.
"I don't think I should." She responded, while locking her eyes with his. "I was already half naked with you in the shower, I think it's enough playing with fire for one day."
"But, you wanted to be in my arms, Caroline, and you've enjoyed our time in the shower." He added, while smirking, and handing his open palm invitation to her. "I won't bite, and I won't try anything that you don't want me to do, without your permission." He swore to her.
She slowly grabbed his hand, while feeling his fingers closing on hers, before being pulled in a sitting position at his side. Their eyes met, and he suddenly wrapped his left arm around her shoulders, before lowering their bodies in a lying position on the bed. She rested her head on his bare chest, with her left hand sliding on his tone skin, in an almost unbearable caress, making him close his eyes to control his desire for her. He tightened his left arm around her shoulders, sliding his right hand in her soft curls, while playing with a strand of hair around his fingers.
"It seems you're still shivering, are you're still cold?" He asked, in a worrying tone of voice, while lowering his sight at her.
"No, I'm fine." She responded, before adding. "Klaus?"
"Yes, Love?" He asked Caroline, while kissing the top of her forehead.
"You safe my life today..." She admitted, before adding. "Thank you for that."
"You're welcome." He responded, while taking her chin in his right hand, before raising her head to drown his eyes into hers. "I will always protect you, Caroline, never forget that." He added as a promise.
"I know." She whispered, while nodding her head and keeping her sight locked in his. "But, why would you?" She asked, while shrugging her shoulders.
"You're still asking that question?" He asked, in shock, while letting a laughing sound out of his mouth. "I'm crazy about you; Caroline. I want all of you: body, mind, soul…I want you to be mine, I don't know how you can still doubt that?"
Caroline blushed while lowering her sight away from his. He took her left hand in his right, before interlacing his fingers with hers.
"I love Tyler." She confessed to him.
"Yes, you love him…I believe you do in a certain way…" Klaus responded to her, before adding. "But, you're falling for me, Love…And you know it."
"Pff" She complained, while rolling her eyes to the ceiling, and adding. "You're so full of yourself; you know that? It's not because I was standing half-naked in the shower, while regaining consciousness with your help if I may add, that I want to jump your bones."
"And yet, you're lying in my bed, half-naked, in my arms, once again." He responded, while smirking at her.
She growled in anger, before rising in a sitting position, while trying to get away from him. He retained her with a firm grip on her right arm, while making her body roll on the bedspread, before lying in top of her, her wrists held in a firm grip of his left hand, above her head.
"Let go of me!" She ordered, while squirming underneath him.
"No!" He replied, while laughing, and lowering his head to kiss the tender part of her right shoulder, his right hand raising on the length of her legs, up to the inside of thighs.
"Klaus…" She whispered, while closing her eyes, in an ambivalent state of mind. "I'm feeling dizzy; it must be the side effect of the drug." She lied to him.
"My sweet liar…" Klaus smirked, while sliding his lips on the right side of her neck. "If you were feeling dizzy, it is for another reason, and you know it." He added, while raising his head, before drowning his sight in Caroline's and lowering his lips on hers. "Don't I deserve a kiss for my heroic rescue?" He asked her, while raising one of his eyebrows.
"Seriously…You won't let me go until I say yes, won't you?" She asked him.
"That's my obedient girl." He nodded, while smiling, and slowly lowering his lips on her.
Caroline closed her eyes, while feeling the softness of his mouth on hers. He firstly nibbled on the corners of her lips, before sliding the tip of his tongue on their lengths, making her moan sounds of pleasure, while feeling her wrists being released from his hand grip.
She lowered her hands on his bare chest, before sliding them upward, to his neck, in his golden curls, while timidly sliding her tongue in his mouth. The kiss in the shower had awakened a thirst for the hybrid that she had no idea existed in her soul before. He moaned sounds of pleasure, before interlacing his tongue with her, in a lover erotic dance, his hands sliding under her t-shirts, while raising the fabric on her chest.
"Mm…" She protested the sound, before detaching her lips from his, while trying to push Klaus away from her body. "You said one kiss; you did not mention any foreplay."
Klaus sighed loudly, while closing his eyes and calming his raging desire for the young vampire, with the painful reminder, hard as a rock, between his legs.
"Ok, I did." He said, while letting his body fell back on the pillow, beside Caroline's laying position on the bed, his forearm placed over his eyes.
"I'm sorry…" She whispered, while blushing at the physical sight of his desire for her.
"I'll live!" He mumbled, angrily, between his teeth.
"I don't want to sleep alone tonight." She admitted, while swallowing a lump in her throat. "But, I don't want to…You know?" She added, before lowering her flushed cheeks and turning her body on the side, showing her back to him, while sliding her hand underneath the pillow.
Klaus raised his forearm away from his eyes, before turning on his side and spooning with her body, while sliding his arms around her waist.
"You won't sleep alone, Caroline…You'll be safe in my arms, the all night…I promise you." He whispered in her right ear, while tightening his arms around her.
"He scared me, Klaus." She confessed her fear. "Shinichi, Arian Satō, whatever his name is…He scared me."
"He won't harm you in anyway in the future; I'll make sure of that, Love." He gave his words to her.
"What does he want? Do you know?" She asked him, before adding. "Why did he hurt me that way?"
"You were only a collateral damage for him. He wanted to hurt me, as a revenge on Elijah." He tried to explain to her. "You need to sleep now; we'll take the plane early in the morning, and you'll leave Tokyo for good. Try not to dream of me." He mocked, gently, while smirking, and kissing the top of her head.
"You are still thinking too much of yourself…Not a chance!" She responded, before falling asleep, with a smile on her lips, while drifting into a dream with the hybrid and hot steamy water.
The wooded office doors of Arian Satō opened in a big "bang" noise, while letting Elijah Mikaelson walk over the threshold, before raising his right hand to his mouth, while passing a handkerchief on his bottom lip that was dripping with blood.
"You know, your guards tasted quite delicious." Elijah admitted, perniciously, to Shinichi, while approaching the man sitting position behind the desk.
"Elijah Mikaelson!" Shinichi exclaimed, while smirking, and hitting his golden pen on its desktop. "I was expecting you, my old friend."
"Funny, I was expecting to never see you again, Shinichi…And a new name: Arian Satō? How corporate of you…I was still hoping that you would have been really dead this time. But then again, the fact that no one ever found your dead body in the Egyptian, Nil river, centuries ago, was always in the back of my mind." Elijah explained to him, while folding the soiled handkerchief, tilting his head to the left, and narrowing his sight at him.
"My bad my friend, I have forgotten to send you a Christmas card every year, since this unfortunate incident. How could you have known?" Shinichi responded, sarcastically, while rising on his feet, and approaching the bar placed behind the wall panel. "Can I offer you something to drink?"
"You want to offer me Jasmine tea perhaps?" Elijah asked, while keeping his gaze on his enemy.
Shinichi smirked, before pouring a glass of Sake.
"How's the delightful Caroline Forbes, by the way?" He asked Elijah.
"She's alive, no thanks to you!" Elijah responded, dryly.
"Well, I am quite happy to hear that news, I appreciated her quite a lot. I hope to actually see that delightful young woman again, very soon." He thought out loud, while gulping his Sake, before being projected on the opposite wall, with Elijah's right forearm placed on his throat, chocking the air out of his host' lungs.
"Let me make this very clearly for you, Shinichi." Elijah warned, while bending his head at a near inch of his. "You'll leave Caroline Forbes and my family alone, or this could end, once again, in a bath of blood!"
"You seem to forget something very important, Elijah. I hold the ultimate weapon in my posession now, therefore, I could easily make you, your entire family, and all your line of vampires, disappear. Don't ever forget that!" Shinichi mumbled, angrily, between his teeth, while coughing, and sighing small breaths of air into his lungs.
"Oh, I did not forget that part. But I am not a coward, Shinichi, if I battle in a war, I battle while being an honest adversary, I can't say the same of yourself!" Elijah shouted into the man's face.
"If killing my sister is what you are calling being honest, maybe I should repay the courtesy by killing your own. Rebekah is being watched by my men as we speak. I don't think that you want her blood on your hands, or am I mistaking?" Shinichi lashed out at Elijah.
Elijah growled, before letting go of his grip on Shinichi's throat, releasing him of his firm hold. The Japanese man lowered his upper body, before coughing several times.
"I never meant to kill, Misao." Elijah murmured, while passing a nervous hand through his hair.
"But she is still dead!" Shinichi busted angrily into Elijah's face, while reaching his standing position. "And she died while giving her heart and her entire loyalty to you!"
"It was an accident." Elijah murmured, while closing his fists in anger, and lowering his head.
"And yet, my twin sister will never be by my side again." Shinichi responded, shyly.
Elijah sighed several times, while putting his hands on each side of his waist.
"So, what will your game be this time, Shinichi?" He asked, while turning his head and staring into his host's eyes.
"No game, my friend. Not for the time being." Shinichi answered him, while turning on himself, and taking his sitting position back behind his desk. "It was a pleasure seeing you again, Elijah. We'll meet again very soon." He added, before grabbing a file on his desk and starting to read a business report.
Elijah stared at Shinichi for a few additional minutes, before turning on his heels, walking toward the exit, and slamming the door behind him.
Shinichi, now named Arian Satō, was standing, his hands buried in his pants pockets, in front of the office panoramic window, while scattering the city of Tokyo, offered, in its splendour, in front of his sight. The strident sound of stilettos banging the marble floor resounded in his ears, while starling him.
"Elijah was here?" A woman voice addressed him.
"He was indeed present." Shinichi answered the young woman, before turning on himself and addressing to her a smile. "And, he is still very much in turmoil over you death." He explained to a tall, young, and very beautiful, Japanese woman. A long strand of black hair strategically placed to hide a very deep and long scar, over the delicate features of the right side of her face.
"Good, the revenge will be more delightful that way." Misao replied to her brother, while smiling devilishly.
