"Not a good idea. They'll kill you and perhaps Shakura if she does something that's considered betrayal in her condition...Back up plan is to run like shit and let me get that assistant girl help me out.", Minx said before she started going down the hall. "lead me to this room. I want to get this over with so we can beat this dude's ass and everything can go back to normal...". Minx sighed and turned her head to Rakuro.

"ok follow me and keep quiet," he said and lead her to the double doors. "Have your weapon ready, you may have to fight your way to shakura even though i keep him busy," he said. "i am gonna check to make sure who all are in there," he said and touched the door to see who all was in there. It was weird because he didn't sense the guy in there anymore. He only sensed shakura. "I can only sense shakura. That means the guy must be busy with something. Lets get her while we have the chance," he said.

Minx was silent the whole time. She followed Rakuro all the way to those doors. She could sense something, or someone very powerful was in the room. When she heard he wasn't in there, her eyes widened. "No...he's close by. It's a trap. We exploded a wall and charged in. He would be in there or trying to stop us. That's starting to bug me now. he hasn't tried one little bit to try and stop us...Besides, I can feel his powers. In here...even if he is in another room, it just means he's mega ultra 'imma kill joo in ten seconds- strong! We shouldn't just charge in!"

"do you wanna wait til he is in there to make things more difficult. what if it is a trap it don't matter i can take him he can't be that powerful after all," he said.

Minx sighed, "I don't know about that....but fine. Let's go.". She nudged Rankuro's arm, trying to hint for him to hurry up. Minx wasn't to sure if this was a good idea at all. She knew this had to trap. She just couldn't argue right now. In fact, she was terrible at arguing. If she was pissed off, then she could argue easily. It just wasn't in her nature to argue. Plus, she was hungry and craving for blood at the moment. She wanted to get this done, save Shakura, get the hell out, then get a midnight/midday snack.

He opened one of the doors slightly and took a cautiousness look around. Still empty. He made his way to shakura making sure minx was behind him. He looked at shakura sitting in the throne. He had to admit black looked good on her but that wasn't appropriate right now. what WAS important was how they were gonna get her out of here. "ok i will make sure no one is coming and you get shakura ok" he said to minx.

Minx nodded and walked up behind Rankuro. She glanced around the room, still feeling like this was a trap. Rakuro was being hasty...she couldn't keep him from barging in and probably falling into a trap, so she would have to deal with it and hope that she was wrong. "Go bounce around...I'll get Shakura...", Minx said

"ok," he said and began looking around. the place was actually set up pretty good no one would expect anything to be here.

Minx looked around once more before she ran towards Shakura and grabbed her arm. "Let's go. The guy who kidnapped you wants me to take you out for ice cream...come on...", She said as she tried to drag Shakura out of her chair. Minx had a feeling Shakura was under control, so the whole 'master says he wants you to get ice cream with me' thing was to get Shakura off her ass and out of here. Hopefully it would work!

" but he told me to stay here until the plan was complete," she said. Her voice was kind of dreamy sounding.

"yes, yes he did, but he said you were being so good, you deserve a nice ice cream cone. So he sent me to come pick you up and take you out for ice cream.", Minx said. She felt like she was talking to a four year old. She had to reason with someone who was under hypnotics or whatever, so she might as well have been trying to talk to a small child. "he said if you didn't come, I'd have to punish you for not doing what he says. Now, lets go, Shakura."

go with them shakura. this is all part of the plan he thought to her. "ok. if he said to. i don't want to get punished," she said standing up.

"Good Shakura. Now let's get some ice cream. Rankuro will pay for it.", Minx said as she glanced at Rankuro. She then took Shakura's hand in hers and started walking out. 'This...is just to easy...what the hell is going on....', Minx thought. She wasn't sure if this was the enemy's mistake, or if they were planning this. Minx gulped, "ERankuro, lets go and...get some ice cream."

Rakuro had heard the conversation so he knew how to act. "Ok there is an ice cream store downtown we can go there," he said playing along. He too thought this was too easy. Did he make a mistake charging in there like that?

"Yes, and it's a nice store, too. With lots of things you can put on your ice cream. Lets go.", Minx said as she tugged on Shakura's arm and started walking out. She looked around the hallway and sigh. why can't they just attack? This is to easy..this worries me.'. Minx squeezed Shakura's hand and stopped. "...Shakura, you know where your kidnapper is, don't you? Tell us or I won't take you for ice cream!

" he told me that he had went to make sure everything went according to plan" she said.

In an alleyway in one of New York's poorer districts, a man lay on the ground, weeping and bleeding from several slash wounds across his body, sobbingly asking, "P-please... please let me go... why are you d-doing this?" He was answered by a high pitched, maniacal giggle as Lillian Carpenter walked in a circle around him, idly licking her bloody fingers saying, "Just because. I'm not even all that hungry or thirsty, but you looked so innocent." The man suddenly got up and tried to run only to get ham-stringed as she moved with cobra like speed. Lilly laughed, saying, "Oh my god! I can't believe I was ever so pathetic! What was it, like, two days ago I was as weak and tasty as you, and now look at me!" The man swore, saying, "If you're going to kill me, just kill me already!" Lilly laughed before moving to stand over him and flopping down, sitting on his back, saying, "But you're so fun to toy with, little human... actually, you're boring me now!" With that, she reached down, grabbing both sides of his head, and gave it a savage twist and pull, ripping his head off spraying blood everywhere. She held the head above her with her mouth open, the blood pouring all over her face and further staining her school uniform as the head's mouth and eyes continued moving with the last impulses from the brain.

'Damn...that really worked? I wish everyone was like this...be much easier to talk to people...', Minx smiled for a few seconds, but it faded when she remembered what Shakura said. "Okay, do you know where he is? I'd really like to know, Shakura. I want to help him...to..you know, do his thing."

(mmm breakfast is always good when you read something bloody like that. :rofl:
Hopefully we'll run into you soon. I don't want to leave you behind. :c )

Shakura let out a little giggle. "He told me he was going to the council building and that he was going to finish the council," she said.

Minx's eyes grew a few sizes. She was starting to panic. That guy was going to murder the council. Minx wasn't that strong yet so she couldn't do anything! The only one here that could fight even a little bit was Rankuro! Shakura was in no condition. She was under hypnotism! Minx tried to keep her composure and act brave, but that was a bit difficult when you knew that the people in her home were about to be slaughtered by some maniac. She had no idea what the council's powers were, so she wasn't sure if they were that strong. 'shut up and calm down, Minx....', she told herself. Minx took a beep breath and let it out slowly. She squeezed Shakura's hand and gulped before she slapped Shakura.. "Wake up already! This isn't like you! I know you're strong enough to come out of this trance! We need your help, Shakura! I'm week, and Rankuro's a dark blood! He'd be kicked out of the place before he could even fight! You're the only one that can help us right now! Snap out of the damn trance already! I can't handle all of this pressure! Hurry up and snap out of it!", Minx said while holding onto Shakura's shoulders and looking her in the eye. Although, even that was difficult since Shakura was several inches taller than her. Still, this was the best plan she could think of. Shakura was much better at thinking of plans and not breaking down when people were depending on her. Minx on the other hand was terrible at that. She could barely talk to people, let alone save their butts from a murderous maniac.

Shakura blinked then she turned back to normal. " minx rakuro. What happened?" she asked.

Minx let out a big sigh and then leaned on Shakura. "You were under some man's control...we tried to get you out by telling you we were getting ice cream...Worked, but it was sort of part of the guy's plan. He's going to the council to slaughter them. We need to get there quickly. We need to go now.", Minx said before she got off of Shakura and regained her composure.

" ok also u didnt have to yell" she said. Shakura then ran alongside minx and rakuro to the council building.

"yeah, well I panicked...", Minx muttered. She sighed and started running out of the building. They would have to be quick now. Hopefully they'd get there and stop this mystery man before he could kill anyone. She just hopped Shakura and Rankuro was strong enough to defeat him.

The woman who helped you earlier was on the ground with some others that were obviously defending the building but she was the only one alive but barely. She let out a cough and a bit of blood trickled down the side of her face from her lip. Shakura ran over to her. " shakura... Your ok. He... He came to fast. We barely saw him. He left me alive long enough for me to tell you that he is waiting in the ouncil room" she said then stopped moving.
