"ok. be careful minx," she said then vanished into the shadows and looked around for Rakuro.

Shakura had backed up against the wall and he stood right in front of her. "Why do you need me if you are going to take over the vampires," she said trying to stay calm. "Why would i destroy something as beautiful as you Shakura. You are the leader of the council vampires but you also hold a dark secret am i right. You are in love with a dark-blood. Very dangerous stuff for a council vampire. if you be my queen i can protect you from anything and nothing will every harm you," he said, his voice sounding seductive. "Your insane i would never be your queen," she said. "No? hmm maybe i should rephrase the question. You can either willingly be my queen or we can do it the hard way," he said. "Never," she said. "So be it," he said. Shadows engulfed her and when they cleared, she was covered in a black dress that went past her feet and her blonde hair now had black streaks in it. "Come my dear," he said sitting in his thrown. Another throne appeared next to his and she sat in it. Her eyes were tinted red making it obvious she was under control.

(that took forever to type!!)

You see Rakuro on the street fight other Dark-bloods. He kills one by twisted its neck and breaking its neck.

(lol! I knew you were hogging the hot guy. :talk2hand: man hogger!)

Minx was running down the side walk and trying to avoid dark bloods on the way. While making her way down the side walk, she saw Rakuro. Sh stopped in her tracks and watched him fight. She turned her head and winced when he broke the man's neck. She shuddered when she heard the loud crack echo. She shook it off and then walked up to him. When she was only ten feet away from him, she glared at him and pulled out her long hunting knife. her hand shook for a few moments, but she tried to convince herself he wouldn't harm her. Since that is what Shakura said. Although, the dark bloods were acting up and Shakura was missing, so he could kill her without thinking about it. She sighed before she tried to act confident and collected. "...Where's Shakura. I know you know where she is. And what's going on? Why are all of you guys ", She said, her voice full of confident.

(just wait for it momo!!!!! i has a plan ok he is gonna end up being yours if you want cause i am gonna end up saying how the darkness consumed him and he was a regular council vampire just chill k!)

Rakuro looked at Minx. "First of all don't try to attack me i am trying to help you guys. and second i don't know where Shakura is either. But earlier i saw shadows slipping out of her room and i didn't see her there. I can sense she is still in the city thought but you will have to find out where," he said.

(better hook me up! xD jk~ sweet. :ninja: can't wait.)

Minx let out a huge sigh of relief. She was thinking this man was a bad guy or something...He still was, but not so bad as to kill her. "You're still in trouble...someone is coming and she is going to interrogate you. I can't sense her, but if you can then you need to help me out. lead me to where you feel her presence the most."

"ok then follow me," he said and led her down the streets until he ended up at an warehouse were shadows were surrounding it. "Damn. Good luck getting in that place," he said. Then he thought of something. "The shadows themselves aren't dangerous but find a place where they are weakest and enter there. These warehouses have entrences everywhere," he said.

Minx gripped her knife and reluctantly followed the man. She glanced around the area, waiting for some dark-blood to try to attack her. None tried to, though. Thank the gods. She wasn't in the mood to fight off a bunch of them. She was good with handling knives and someone who wasn't aiming to hurt her, but not in real combat. Well, she was okay. The training helped out some, though. Hopefully Sakura would be okay...When Minx arrived to the building, her eyes widened. There were many shadows running around and engulfing the place. It felt...dark and eerie. It wasn't too strong, but Minx could tell that when she got inside, it'd probably be crushing. And how what's-his-name said it, it her assumption was right. Minx groaned softly, and took a step towards the building. She avoided one of the shadows and then turned to the man.

"Watch my back...", Minx said before turning her head back to the department store and closed her eyes. She folded her arms over her chest and tried to use her powers to locate any kind of presence. She couldn't really sense one, just it's mind. She would try to read it from there, but since she was just learning how to use her powers, it probably wouldn't work very well. Last time, it had taken a bit for her, and even though it did, there were plenty of people to find. There was no telling what was inside of this building, besides Shakura and the person who captured her. Out of sheer luck, Minx found someone. She had no idea whether or not if it was Shakura, though. She'd been in Shakura's head before, but she knew she was reading her mind. This could be anyone. Minx bit her lip as she tried to read the person's mind. She could feel malevolence and...something else. She wasn't to sure what it was. Although, she could tell that it wasn't Shakura. When Minx was reading Shakura's head, she felt kindness. Even if she did...well, see that 'scene'. There wasn't any kindness in this person. At least, if it was, it was a very small amount that was hidden very well.

he felt someone poking around in his mind. So her friends have come perfect a little bit of
fun.

Rakuro followed in after her. " sense anything" he asked.

"...He knows we're here...shit.", Minx mumbled. She wanted to keep a hold of the person's mind, but she couldn't stand the feeling she was getting from him. Minx gulpped, and poked around in his mind a bit. She was able to confirm Shakura was with that man. She let go of the connection and gasped before she took a few steps back and started panting. "She's in there...the man inside....he's not a good person. You need to help me get Shakura. If you do not come, I might not be able to get Shakura out.", Minx said, turning to the man.

"What did you think i was just gonna watch? i am coming with you. if he knows we are here then that losses surprise so we need to do something unexpected.

"Like make love in an ally?", Minx mumbled. She started thinking about what the hell they were going to do. Minx sighed and glanced around the area. If they were going to do anything, they might as well do something ballsy. "Do you know how to make explosives? Do you have anything to make explosives with?"

"you asked the right guy for the job i can make explosives out of almost anything," he said. he took out a bullet and twiked with it a little and then threw it at the wall and he moved her out of the way as it exploded.

Minx stared at the man as he worked on his explosive. She was only joking when she asked, but it was okay...Although, a more subtle approach would have been nice. Minx squeaked when she was picked up and moved out of the explosion. She stared at the guy with a frown and slipped out of his grasp. "You could have warned me before throwing it, but...thanks."

"no problem now lets go," he said walking through the hole in the wall.

(happy birthday too me!!!!!)

(HAPPY BIRTHDAY GURL FRIEND! 8D wutchu get for presents? C: )

Minx nodded and slowly went inside. She glanced around the room, looking out for anyone who would come up and stop them. "Lets form a plan before we go any further. We want to get our priorities strait before approaching the enemy."m she said, grabbing the man's arm. "Also...what's your name again?

"rakuro try to remember k. and what do you supose we do since i made out way in," he said.

"Okay. Well...we should try to avoid being seen. They know we're in, but if they see us, they'll probably try to kill us. We don't want that. So we'll sneak around and look for Shakura.", Minx said as she glanced around the room. She walked to a corner of a wall, and peaked around the side. "Should we split up?", she said turning her head to Rakuro.

"yeahw e can cover more ground that way," she said then went the other way and began looking.

Minx sighed when she heard Rakuro's answer. She hopped he would say it wasn't a good idea, but that wasn't the case. Minx wasn't very confident i her combat skills. She didn't think she would be able to defend herself very well. Ah well. She'd just have to suck it up and fight like man....a wo-man. She crept around the corner and slowly walked down the hall. She looked around for any cameras, but didn't see any so far.

Rakuro knew that she had been expecting him to say not to split up but he wanted to get a good look around the place and didn't need someone slowing him down. He could sense shakura in here somewhere. he wouldn't give up even if he died in here.

Minx found a hallway full of doors. She gulped and went to the closest door. She slowly opened the door and peaked inside; no one was there. it was just a big dusty room with a desk that had a broken chair that was bent over on it's side. Someone destroyed it in a rage? Obviously, this room was left alone for a long time. There was dust all over the place. Even on teh chair. Minx had a feeling this place hadn't been used for long. She stepped in and looked around once more juuust in case. She sighed before walking out and looking across the hallway. She had a bunch of rooms to check. What a pain in the ass. For the next ten minutes Minx was looking through doors and seeing if anyone was inside. All she found was dusty rooms full of cobwebs and with barely any furniture. In one room there were a bunch of files scattered around the room. The papers were turning yellow and starting to crumble.

She was wondered what was up with this place. The guy who had Shakura must have just arrived and used this place for a base. Or, this place was a part of the building that wasn't used at all. Minx needed to continue her search. She sighed and went down the hall.

Rakuro felt shakura's presence very strong through a set of double doors. Using his power to be able to sense anything by touch, he touched the door and automaticlly knew what all and who all was in there. in his mind he saw the guy in the thrown and saw shakura but she looked so different. The black streaks, black dress, and the hint of a red glow in her eyes were not normal meaning she was under a spell. If he found minx maybe they could go in and he could distract the guy why minx got shakura. He began looking for minx.

Minx had found another room. it was in the end of the hallway and it was quite ominous looking. There were no windows around in this part of the hallway, so it looked very dark. The cobwebs in the corner helped with the look, too. Minx gulped as she went to the door and slowly opened it. She peaked her head inside and gasped when a bird cawing at her came flying out of the room. She flailed and hit the bird when it flew towards her head and tried to peck her. "notfoodnotfoodnotfoood!", she yelped. After a few moment, the bird went flying down the hallway cawing away.

Minx was panting and tried to fix her hair from the incident. Damn crazy bird...Minx went inside and glanced around. it was just a dark room with flowery wall paper, knocked over chair, and a broken window with a birds nest in one corner of it. She sighed, "Dead end."

Rakuro ended up finding minx. "hey i found where shakura is and i have an idea. i can distract the guy why you save shakura but i warn you. he has changed her.

Minx jumped and turned around quickly. She sighed when she saw it was Rakuro. She perked up when he said that he knew where Shakura was. There was a plan, too. This was great! Although, they needed a back up plan. "Okay, I like the plan. But we need a back up plan...I also need you to distract him really well. I might be short, but spotting me isn't to hard. I have purple hair, after all. People a few miles away can see me."

"how about the back up plan can be we signal the council vamps to come and back us up. surely this guy can't take on all of the council vampires," he said. "and don't worry i am good at distracting," he said.
