Chapter 10
"Arian Satō"
Klaus opened the cabin door with his right bare foot, while keeping his eyes intensively locked with Caroline's. Her arms crossed around his neck, her hands buried in his golden locks, while caressing the bottom base of his neck and creating a range of shivers in his spine, making him close his eyes under the intensity of her caresses. Their foreheads touched and their lips parted with a single breath of passion, silently passing in a rhythmic tempo between their mouths.
He carried the young vampire toward the bed. Caroline was now positioned on her knees on the bedspread, with his own body placed behind her back. His hands firmly placed on her hips, before slowly sliding them on her waist, breasts, while modeling her skin with each of his caress, with his lips nibbling on her left earlobe. He raised both of his hands on her shirt, while making Caroline moan in surprise when he twitched open the fabric, with buttons falling everywhere on the cabin wooded floor, before leaving her standing half naked, in her black lace bra.
"Oh!" Caroline exclaimed, in surprise, before closing her eyes, while being lead toward a pure bliss of bestial and primitive desire.
"You're mine." He murmured, his eyes closed, lost in his own physical and emotional needs.
Even if Klaus had regained his human form, Caroline knew by instinct that he was still driven by his werewolf's animalistic emotions and needs, and lost in his sexual call to make her his. She was not even able to think clearly or to regain a normal state of mind. She had responded to him in a way that she had never responded to any other man before him…Instinctively, urgently, passionately...The call of the male to his female, and the response of the mate to his lover.
He cupped her breasts with two hands full, lowering them on her waist, hips, on her short pleated skirt, taking its hem, before raising the fabric on her hips, growling sounds of pleasure coming out of his mouth, while caressing with his fingers the skin of her thighs and the lace just above her stalking suspenders.
"I can't believe you were wearing this sexy thing while fishing with me a few hours ago." He murmured, while kissing, licking, devouring the roundness of her left shoulder. "Oh, Love, you're so sexy." He whispered the words near her left ear, while making Caroline open her eyes.
Klaus Mikaelson, the hybrid, was back! The real, manipulative: I will have, what I want, when I want! The sensual sortilege was broken ... But, his hands, his mouth, and his hard bulge that was pushing on her lower back, while creating a fire in her chore that reached the depth of her femininity, were still very present. Would she be able to push him away?
"You promise to not force yourself on me. You've said that you would wait for me to tell you that I wanted this?" She complained, while trying to push his hands away from her body.
"I've said that I would wait for you to tell me, which is what you're doing now while letting me know with the response of your entire body." He replied, while unhooking her bra.
"Please, Klaus?" She begged, in a murmur, while closing her eyes and lowering her head on his chest. Caroline had no more strength within herself; it was all in his hands now…And his hands were at the moment rubbing her body urgently.
"I can't, Caroline...I need you too much, and I need this too much..." He growled, while making her suddenly moan under the intense pain and pleasure of feeling his right hand grab a hand full of her blond curls, before bending her head toward the back, with the white and silky skin of her neck offered to his fiery sight.
He slowly lowered his head near the right side of her neck, while inhaling her smell, like a male would primitively recognize his mate, before sliding his manly lips on the length of her blue vein, entering very so slowly the tip of his fangs in her delicate skin, while slightly scratching her skin, the taste of her blood touching the tip of his tongue.
"One day...One day...Caroline…" He whispered, before closing the two holes and letting the straps fall from her shoulders.
Caroline opened her eyes widely, while feeling an intense shiver hitting her entire body. One day? What did he meant by that? He'll bite her? Taste her blood? Exchange it with her?
"Thanks for giving me a ride home, Matt." Rebekah said, shyly, before climbing the few stairs to reach the outdoor porch of the Mikaelson Mansion, while nervously rubbing her hands together.
"It was a pleasure, Miss Mikaelson." He responded, scoffer, while sliding his hands in his jeans' back pockets, before reaching her standing position on the porch.
Rebekah finally turned on herself before facing the young man.
"The invitation was really nice. I've never cooked with a guy before, except with Nick, of course, and I loved your spaghetti night...This evening felt causal...I felt..." She started, without being able to finish her sentence.
"You felt human?" Matt ended her sentence, while questioning her own say, before locking his eyes with Rebekah's.
"Yes, I felt human…When I'm with you…You have this effect on me." She nodded, before lowering her head, while hiding the fire on her cheeks.
"I'm actually not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing for you." Matt wondered.
"Neither…And both…" She replied, while timidly smiling to him. "It's just different…I…I mean, we, as vampires, are not used to rekindle the memory lane about our past humanity. What is in the past will never be again." She confessed, while feeling a tear rolling on her left cheek, before sweeping it away with the back of her hand.
Matt took a step toward the Original, while raising his right hand to caress her left cheek, where another tear had fallen from her eyelashes.
"But, you can still feel, and appreciate every single humanity moment that is coming at you, Rebekha, because being human or a vampire doesn't change anything." Matt told her.
Rebekah lowered her head, before feeling Matt's hand raise her chin up, his eyes searching for the deepness of her soul. She felt his lips touching hers, in a sweet, almost none perceivable kiss. He raised his head, a smile blessing his lips, while taking a few steps back, before nervously passing a quick hand through his hair.
"I'd love for us to go out again, I don't know… We could go out on a date?" Matt asked Rebekah, while shrugging his shoulders. "No pressure though…" He added, with a hand gesture.
Rebekah stood in front of him, with a speechless expression plastered on her face.
"Or not…Obviously you are not sold with the idea." Matt replied to her silent response, while shaking his head in defeat. "Forget about it." He added, while waving his right hand in front of her sight.
Rebekah reached his standing position, before grabbing his hands and shaking her head.
"Matt, please, no, you misunderstood my silence." She responded, while raising his chin to make him look into her eyes. "I was just surprised, that is all. It's not like many guys are asking me to go out on dates, these days." She added, while shrugging her shoulders.
"So, it's a yes or a no?" He asked more.
"Why don't you just say that you're trying to find a way to sleep with me again?" She responded, mockingly
"Well, there is that…Small...Thing…Of…Having…Lost…My…Memory…" Matt said, scoffer, while winking, before taking a few steps toward Rebekah, cupping her face in his hands and mouthing the words in top of her lips. "But, there is also the fact that I am drawn to you, Miss Mikaelson, and that I can't think clearly when you're standing too close by my side." He added, before crashing his mouth on hers.
Rebekah let a nervous laugh sound out of her mouth, before crossing her arms around Matt's neck, while returning his kiss.
"Pardon me. I know it's very impolite of me to interrupt a young couple in their manifestation of tenderness." They heard a man address himself to them.
Rebekah turned on herself, before facing the stranger and instinctively pushing Matt behind her back, as a protection mechanism.
"I don't wish you any harm." The Asiatic man reassured, while rubbing his gloved hands together.
"Of course not, you only want to harm my brothers." Rebekah mumbled, angrily, between her teeth, while feeling Matt's nervousness behind her back. Matt's need to protect Rebekah was surpassing his fear. But he knew nothing about the supernatural world, and he knew even less about Shinichi, who was obviously standing in front of them, in Mystic Falls!
"Mm….Not only beautiful, but intelligent as well, I wouldn't hope for anything less coming from the Original sister." Shinichi replied, while crossing his hands in front of his chest. "It's a pleasure my dear Rebekah." He added.
"Well it's not a pleasure for me!" She replied, dryly.
Matt was finally able to free himself from Rebekha's firm grip on him, while taking a few walking steps to reach Shinichi's standing position.
"Why don't you go back from where you're coming from?" Matt exclaimed into the man's face, while pointing a finger at his chest. "We don't need your wickedness; the people of this town did nothing to your family, leave us alone!"
"How charming, a human. I guess you were bored out of your mind, my dear, to go to such extreme?" He asked Rebekah, scoffer, while dismissing Matt. "Really, I don't remember being entertained that much since centuries." Shinichi added, while smirking. "But my patience can rapidly wear out. Therefore; I suggest that you make contact with one or both of your brothers to tell them that I would like to have a word with one or both of them."
"Leave her out of this!" Matt shouted more, while holding his hand in front of Shinichi. "And just leave us all alone, no one wants to speak to you, no one!"
In a matter of a few seconds, Matt was pushed on the exterior wall of the Manor, just near the entrance door, with Shinichi right hand placed around his throat, preventing any air to enter into his lungs, and leaving Matt blue under the pressure.
"Now, my dear, could you contact one of your brothers for me?" Shinichi asked once more, before turning his head toward the Original, a smirk blessing the corners of his lips. "Or your human friend will be dead in a matter of a few seconds."
"It's ringing no-stop, Klaus?" Caroline murmured, while holding her bra in place in front of her chest.
"Let it ring." Klaus replied while sliding his hands on the length of her arms. "And let this fall." He added, suggestively into her ear, while pushing the straps down.
"It could be urgent?" She added, while panting under her jerky breaths.
Klaus turned his head to take a glimpse at his cell phone, left on vibrate mode on the small kitchen table. He grunted before jumping away from the bed and reaching for the device, while looking at the list of missed call: fifteen from Rebekah!
"Fifteen messages from my sister?" Klaus mumbled, with a glimpse of fear in the tone of his voice, before finally listening to one of them.
Caroline turned her head toward his standing position, before sitting on the edge of the bed and holding her bra in front of her chest, while watching his reaction.
Klaus closed his eyes, before screaming and throwing his cell phone on the wooden floor of the cabin.
"Get dressed!" He ordered, while handing to Caroline her long sleeve shirt.
"Well, it's not like I can get dressed with this?" She replied, while showing the ripped fabric to the hybrid.
Klaus looked around, before grabbing her coat jeans placed on top of a chair and throwing it to her.
"Put this, you'll close the buttons." He suggested, while handing her the coat, before grabbing his own to dress his bare chest.
"Klaus, what is going on, you're scaring me?" Caroline demanded, while trying to hook her bra, with her shaking hands.
"Let me do it." He murmured, before pushing her hands and grabbing the two pieces of fabric, while creating a range of electricity in Caroline's body. Since when have they become so intimate?
"What is going on? Please, tell me!" She asked once more, while rising on her shaking legs.
Klaus was pacing back and forth in the cabin, while passing a rapid hand through his tangled hair.
"Shinichi is here." He finally confessed, while hitting a chair with his bare foot, with all the anger build inside of him.
"What? Here in Mystic Falls? Oh my God, he has your sister?" Caroline asked, while buttoning her coat jeans, before bending her body to pick up Klaus's boots on the floor. "I suppose you did not have your feet in your boots when you have transformed?" She asked, while handing them to him.
Klaus raised his sight, while timidly smiling to the young vampire, before grabbing them from her hands.
"No." He simply responded, before sitting on a chair, and sliding his bare feet in them. "Not only Rebekah, but Matt Donovan is with my sister also, they are at my Manor, and this lunatic asked to see me, or to see Elijah."
"Matt? You said he's retaining Matt as a prisoner?" She asked, frantically, while raising a hand over her chest. "I'm going with you." She informed him, while taking a few walking steps to reach the cabin entrance door.
"No, you will not come with me, Caroline." Klaus responded, while rising on his own legs to reach Caroline, before firmly grabbing her arms and turning her around to face him. "I'll drop you at your house, and you'll stay inside, safe, do you understand me?" He ordered.
"Don't order me around, please?" She asked, while raising her chin up.
"I'm not giving you orders, Love. I just need to keep you safe, grand me this privilege, please?" He begged, while locking his eyes with Caroline's.
She nodded her head in approval, before being free of his grip.
"Come." He said, while handing his left hand to her.
"Promise me to keep Matt safe, Klaus?" She asked this favor of him.
Klaus rolled his eyes on the ceiling, while frowning.
"Promise me, Klaus?" She repeated once more.
"Ok." He agreed, while nodding his head and feeling Caroline's coldish fingers slide in his.
Earlier that day at the Lockwood Mansion;
Carol Lockwood passed her hands on her impeccable two pieces skirt suit, while descending the stairs and reaching the entrance of her home.
"Mr. Satō I presume." She asked, with an impeccable hostess smile on her face.
"Mrs. Lockwood." He replied, while standing straight as an "I" with both of his hands crossed in front of his expensive two pieces man suit.
"It's a pleasure." She said, while handing her right hand.
"The pleasure is, after all, mine, my dear." He responded, while kissing the back of her hand. "I can only be blown away while standing in front of such magnificent woman." He added with charm.
"Oh, please, you're making me blush." Carol replied, while lowering her flushed cheeks. "We could, perhaps, go sit in the parlor room if you don't mind?"
"Lead the way, after you." Arian suggested, while sliding a hand on Carol's lower back, before following her steps.
"Take a seat, Mister Satō." Carol invited him with a hand gesture.
"Thank you." He responded, while making a reverence before taking his sitting position on the leather sofa.
"First, let me tell you, Mister Satō, how thankful and honoured the community of Mystic Falls is with your large contribution of implanting a new manufactory in our small city. This will without doubts, contribute in diminishing the economy crisis and help the economic health of our residents." She explained to him.
"It's my greatest pleasure, Mrs. Lockwood, Satō enterprise was in search of a new manufactory emplacement in America since quite a while now." Arian responded, with a charming smile. "Mystic Falls is not only a charming city, its habitants are equally."
"As a "thank you", what can I do for you, Mister Satō?" Carol asked, while crossing her legs.
"I was wondering if it could be possible for Satō Enterprise to organize a spectacle banquet for the community of Mystic Falls." Arian asked. "And if it's not too much trouble if I could use your charming Manor for this unique event, with money compensation, of course?"
"Oh, none sense, I wouldn't want to hear about any compensation. It would be my pleasure to lend this estate to you, Mister Satō." Carol agreed, enthusiastically, while rising on her feet, and taking a few walking steps to reach the console table to pour drinks. "May I offer you a drink?"
"Please, thank you. Scotch on the rocks." Arian answered.
"Tell me, Mister Satō, what kind of performance are you thinking and talking about? I'm kind of intrigued." Carol wondered.
"With good reasons..." He replied, while rising on his feet, and approaching Carol's standing position, before taking his drink from her hands. "You see, my ancestors used to crusade as gipsies in the country of Egypt, going from village to village, while giving performances."
"How interesting, tell me more." Carol asked, while smiling. "What kind of performances?"
"Well, for what I've heard, for the men it was mostly the handling of swords, friendly competition of course, and dance for the women." He explained, evasively, while sipping his scotch. "I would like to have the chance to show my ancestor's history to the community of Mystic Falls."
"What a magnificent idea!" Carol exclaimed, joyfully, before adding. "Let me suggest a list of invitees to you, mostly, the high society of Mystic Falls."
"I'll have a few requests of invitees myself, if you don't mind?" He added, with a wicked smile plastered on his face and a devil glimmer in his eyes.
Present time;
"Lovely Manor, Miss Mikaelson." Shinichi told Rebekah, while taking a few walking steps in the parlor room, with his hands crossed behind his back.
"Are you ok, Matt?" Rebekah whispered to the young man, while putting a comforting hand on his left forearm, before sitting by his side on the leather sofa.
Matt nodded to Rebekah, before rubbing the red marks left on the skin of his neck, while angrily staring at Shinichi, who was standing in front of a painting.
¨Interesting form of art.¨ Shinichi said his thought out loud, before crossing his arms in front of his chest and adding. "Who's the artist?"
¨What is your problem? You've tried to kill me just to have the chance to visit this Manor? ¨ Matt asked, angrily.
¨Mister Donovan, you are way too melodramatic and theatrical for my taste. If I had wanted to kill you, you would be dead already, believe me.¨ Shinichi responded to him.
Rebekah and Matt glanced at each other. It was obvious that Shinichi had taken a lot of information prior to his visit to Mystic Falls, only for the fact that he already knew Matt's family name.
¨The artist, Miss Mikaelson?¨ Shinichi asked once more.
¨It's the art work of my brother." She mumbled, angrily, between her teeth.
"Elijah? I never thought that practicing such art could be of interest to him." He replied, surprised, while grabbing his chin, before continuing to study the painting in front of his eyes.
"Klaus…That painting is from my brother Klaus." She rolled her eyes, mostly annoyed.
Shinichi turned his sight toward their sitting position, before tilting his head.
"You're talking about the hybrid, really, how interesting!" He exclaimed, with excitement.
"As much as finding you in our living room, I presume." A male voice replied, slyly.
"Elijah, I thought you had left the country?" The Asian man replied, while frowning, and narrowing his sight on the Original.
"You thought wrong." Elijah replied, while storming in his vampire speed, before pushing Shinichi on the wall, with a hand placed on his throat. "If you lay once more a hand on my sister or one of her friends, I'll swear Shinichi, immortality or not, I'll find a way to kill you." He mumbled, angrily, between his teeth, while choking the air out of the visitor's lungs.
The Kitsune pushed his right hand on Elijah's chest, before projecting him on the opposite wall.
"But…" Shinichi replied, while catching his breath, and seeing Elijah land on the floor. "Wouldn't it be sweet justice, Elijah?" Shinichi inquired, drily. "After all you took the life of my sister; and it would be fair that I take yours."
"You're in it for the fight of your eternal life, my friend." Elijah replied, before rising on his feet,
Rebekah and Matt were now standing near the entrance door of the room.
"Let's go Rebekah." Matt ordered, while grabbing her right arm to pull her out of the room.
"I can't leave my brother!" She yelled, while pulling back.
"Rebekah, leave with Matt." Elijah yelled back, before getting rid of his blazer, throwing it on the sofa and rolling the sleeves of his shirt. "It's been quite a while since we battled together, Shinichi, don't you think so?"
"Too long my friend, way too long!" Shinichi replied, before elevating his leg in a perfect martial art figure to destabilize Elijah, who intercepted the attack while lowering his upper body.
Matt managed to bring Rebekah in his escaping trail, while sliding a hand around her waist, before pulling her out of the room, in direction of the main entrance of the Manor.
"I have to go back!" She begged him.
"No!" Matt busted, while turning Rebekah to face him. "Something tells me that your brother will be fine."
"What if he has the lethal dagger on him, Matt? What if he kills Elijah?" Rebekah wondered, while grabbing his forearms.
"He doesn't have it, I have this feeling." Matt replied, while grabbing her shoulders.
"How do you know, how can you be sure?" She asked, frantically.
"Because, while he was holding my throat and trying to kill me, I was able to slide my hands on his suits, and the man has nothing on him." He reassured her.
"Oh my God, Matt, you're a genius." She exclaimed, while regaining her smile.
"Barely, I've learned a trick or two in a defence class, in my first years of High School." He replied, while shrugging his shoulders.
The front door suddenly opened on a loud shrill noise, while letting Klaus storm inside the Manor.
"You're ok?" Klaus asked his sister, before grabbing her right arm and locking his eyes with hers.
"I'm fine! Elijah is with him now." She exclaimed, frantically, while pointing a finger in direction of the parlor room.
"Stay safe here with him." Klaus ordered his sister, while rushing to the living room and adding to Matt. "Take care of my sister."
"Wow, he actually acknowledged my presence." Matt said, surprised, while passing a rapid hand through his tangled hair.
"Well, Elijah you haven't certainly lost your edge after so many centuries." Shinichi noticed, while pushing him on a wooden table, before hearing the table feet broke under the pressure of Elijah's body weight. "But, you're still not as good as me, my dear friend."
"I doubt that, Shinichi, I had centuries of practice, since our last encounter." Elijah replied, before rising on his feet and turning his head to see Klaus storming in direction of Shinichi. "No!" He yelled to his brother, before intercepting and holding him immobile with a hand placed on his chest.
"Let me kill this jerk!" Klaus shouted, while trying to free himself from Elijah's grip.
"Ah! Finally, the one and only: Klaus Mikaelson!" Shinichi exclaimed, while passing a handkerchief on an open wound on his mouth, feeling a trickle of blood flow on his chin.
"Let me finish him, Elijah." Klaus growled.
"How's the lovely Caroline?" Shinichi asked. "I look forward to seeing her again."
Klaus growled more, while being held immobile by Elijah.
"It would be stupid for you to try to kill him now. He's immortal, Klaus." Elijah murmured to his brother. "But, push him to his limits, and he will be able to kill you later with the dagger, and all your descendants, Caroline included."
Klaus closed his eyes and fists in anger, before calming down.
"Wow! I never expected such welcoming party!" Shinichi exclaimed, while dusting his blazer with his hands.
"What do you want?" Klaus asked his enemy.
"Well, actually, as strange as it may seem nothing for the present moment." Shinichi replied. "It was a simple visit of courtesy to inform you that Satō Enterprise has a foothold in Mystic Falls. I actually met the delightful Mrs. Lockwood this afternoon, and ask her to help me." He explained to both brothers, while reaching the arch door. "You'll soon receive an invitation that you can't refuse. I hope to fight again, with you, very soon, Elijah. If you would be so kind to excuse-me now, gentlemen, other urgent matters are calling me." He added, while nodding his head in a reverence, before leaving the room.
Elijah closed his eyes, before bending his upper body and sighing loudly.
"What did he meant by that?" Klaus asked his brother, while pacing back and forth on the length of the room, before passing a quick hand through his tangled hair.
"I have no idea. He has always talked in enigma." Elijah replied, while raising his sight, before shaking his head.
Caroline rubbed her hands together, while pacing back and forth in front of her bed. Liz Forbes, her mother, had already fallen asleep in her upstairs' bedroom when Klaus had dropped her in front of the house. He had waited, like a perfect gentleman, for her to be inside of her house and safe, before starting the engine again.
If people would have told her a couple of weeks ago that she would have felt secure knowing that Klaus Mikaelson was watching over her, she would have probably burst into laughter in their faces.
She was not able to sleep. Too much was going on at this moment, and her mind was certainly not at a rest and peace mode.
She suddenly froze all her movements, while feeling a veil of coldness brushing her shoulders, a thin fog enveloping everything in the room. She raised her hand on her chest, while turning alternatively her head from right to left, left to right, trying to evaluate if this was a fragment of her imagination or a real supernatural manifestation.
Caroline...Caroline…Caroline
She heard a voice calling her in repetition, in her head.
Come to me, Caroline...
And then she knew. She knew by instinct, the person that was calling her.
She walked toward the entrance door of her home, before sliding the curtain on the door window, while staring into his dark eyes.
The dark figure was standing in front of the porch, with his eyes fixated on the entrance door and into the deepness of her eyes. He was wearing a black two pieces man suit, and his hands were buried in his trousers' pockets.
She swallowed a lump in her throat, before slowly pulling the latch and opening the door, while taking slow steps to reach Shinichi's standing position. She stood in front of him, with her chin up as a confrontational gesture.
"You came. You heard me calling you. We have a special connection, Caroline." He addressed his first words to her.
"What do you want, Arian, or should I say Shinichi?" She asked, slyly.
"You, Caroline, I want you, and I always get what I want." He replied, while locking his eyes with the young vampire.
"Go back from where you're coming from, Shinichi, Leave us alone...Leave me alone." She begged of him.
"I could offer you so much..." Shinichi whispered, while starting to walk in circle around her.
"I'm very doubtful of that, and I do not want to be an object of manipulation or revenge for others, anymore." She replied, in anger, to him.
"You were never a purpose to an end in my revenge against the Original; Caroline. You came to me as a surprise. And now I want you to belong to me." He explained.
"It will never happen!" She replied.
"Never is such a strong word, my dear, and so definitive." Shinichi replied, while softly passing the back of his right hand on her right cheek. Caroline turned her head to the left to avoid his touch.
"I have a boyfriend, thank you." Caroline replied.
"You only have one, Caroline? Did you forget Klaus, your lover, the hybrid?" He murmured, mockingly, near her right ear, while turning a strand of her blond hair around his fingers. "I could give you the world...You could become my Queen."
"Not interested of being the Queen of a mad man." She responded, dryly.
"Maybe you'll get interested if I could give you what you heart wants the most?" Shinichi offered her.
Caroline turned her head, while locking her eyes with his.
"How could you even know what my heart wants? We're basically strangers." Caroline replied.
"We are more than that, and you know it. We have a connection, my dear." He replied, while taking a few walking steps to face her. "As for your heart desire, what about becoming a human again?"
Caroline's eyes opened widely. She shook her head in disbelief.
"You're even more pernicious than what I thought you could be." She shouted, in disdain.
"Oh believe me, my dear, I never offered what I could not give." He replied. "Take time to think about it." He added, before turning on himself, and disappearing into the night, while leaving Caroline wondering if this encounter had only been a fragment of her imagination.
Shinichi entered his hotel suite, while throwing his smartcard on the console table, before directing his steps toward the living room.
"It took you a long time, my dear brother." Misao said to him, lying on the sofa, while putting nail polish on her hands.
"People to see, errands to make, you should know better, sister." He replied, before taking a seat by her side, while undoing his tie.
"So?" She asked, a sadistic smile plastered on her lips.
"Miss Lockwood was more than eager to help Satō Enterprise." He announced, while stretching his arms. "She will organize our little celebration under her Manor's roof." He added, smiling.
Misao busted laughing, while rising on her feet, before reaching the bar and pouring herself a glass of vodka.
"And, what else? What happened to your lips? I need you to entertain me, for God sake, Shinichi. I'm bored out of my mind in this little town." Misao exclaimed, while rolling her eyes and sipping her glass.
"I had an encounter with your ex-lover and with my soon to be mistress." Shinichi said, while carefully watching his sister's reaction.
Misao hold her glass in her hand for a few seconds at the mention of Elijah's name, before closing her eyes, while regaining her calm attitude.
"How interesting, you certainly had a busy day." She responded, toneless, before taking back her sitting position on the sofa. "How's your future mistress?"
"A bit recalcitrant, but she'll come around." Shinichi responded, before adding. "I'm surprised that you are not asking me any details about Elijah?"
"The day you'll spoke to me about his death, I'll be interested to listen, until then; my alliance is with you, Shinichi." She responded to him, while shrugging her shoulders in indifference.
"I don't expect anything less sister, especially since you've betrayed me in the past because of that man, and that he had caused your own death." He responded, while grabbing her wrist forcefully. "I'm just making sure that you are not forgetting about these facts, if ever your heart would want to rekindle a past romance."
"You're hurting me!" She mumbled, angrily, between her teeth, while trying to free herself of his grip.
"Well…How unkind of me then?" He responded, before letting go of his grip on her.
She rubbed her wrist, before standing on her feet again, and walking to reach the panoramic window.
"Tell me, is the spell ready?" Shinichi asked his sister, while rubbing his hands nervously together.
"The witch almost succeeded today. One or two more days and she told me that she would be able to put it together." Misao answered her brother, while turning on herself and smiling. "Can you believe this? It won't be long now, Shinichi."
Shinichi raised on his feet, before reaching Misao's standing position while cupping her face in his hands and sliding his fingers on the scar on her cheek.
"It's coming, Misao…Soon, very soon, we'll be the Masters of the universe, like it was planned since the beginning of time."
