Eminence in shadow - Not Shadow

Yukime

The train finally reached its destination; stopping with a hiss, the churning wheels groaning to silence.

I sat down on the roof, pondering deeply on what Alpha wanted to say before her descent - the thought only occupying my mind now.

'I ......' was all she managed to yell out before being cut off by my departure and her descent.

It didn't take an expert to reach a plausible conclusion of what message she wanted to so desperately pass across that she would yell mid flight - without any consideration for her wellbeing and safety.

I scoffed, grasping my head tightly in frustration as i gazed at the occupants of the train hastily disembarking and making there to their respective affairs in lawless city.

"Oh Alpha ...." i mused, standing up to make my way down when i was sure of everyones departure.

"You better not be trying to say that you love me." I warned, trying to ward off the rising onset of a headache.

"You'll be dissappointed." I added, hopping down deftly and making my way through the illuminated streets of lawless city to my accomplice and partner - trying to find out if the work has been done.

I spied a food stand selling various treats and gifts that were apparently very popular with women - made evident by the vast audience of women patronizing it.

I took note of it and turned to observed more shops, seamlessly sidestepping and avoiding the crowd in the area; making my way to her guest house - our designated and agreed upon meeting area.

I grabbed a decent bonquet of roses by a stand and kept the indicated price of bills for the proprietor, without even exchanging a single word of greeting.

After a 30 minutes walk of serenely striding through the busy streets of lawless city, musing on my thoughts and passively taking in the affairs of the passerbys, i finally arrived at the door of the building.

It was in the wealthy district of the area, evident by the the serene calm, beautiful lighting of the neighbouring houses and the intricate circular design of the buildings - my partner will settle for nothing less after all.

I held the bonquet to my chest and moved to ring the bell, but stopped when the door slowly swung open; creaking aside to reveal the interior.

I froze, my eyes opening wide as i took in the apparent mess; books scattered to the floor, a cabinet shattered to pieces and the furniture flung aside.

Carefully i strode into the building and kicked the door shut, the bonquet hanging limply by my hand as i moved to the kitchen - the place i could hear sounds emanating from.

The sounds of struggling continued with utensils and curtlary clattering to what i assumed to be the sink, only stopping at the sound of my approach.

I confidently sauntered into the light and flashed the two occupants a smile, lifting the rose up in offering.

Burning demonic red eyes bore into mine with blatant hatred, with softer blue gazing at me in suprise and shock.

Both had different reactions to the gift in my hand - red burning with visceral anger and hatred with blue opening wider still in further suprise.

"So it's true then." The gruff voice amusingly called out, slowly pushing the blade deeper into the neck of his prisoner; withdrawing a tiny streak of blood.

She whimpered, flinching away and struggling futilely in his restraining hold.

"As if trying to sabotage our plans with her wasn't enough ...." he continued.

"You've also been sleeping with this harlot, haven't you ?"

My smile widened further as i tilted my head upwards in mock thought.

"I don't have any recollection of that. Our relationship is strictly professional Gettan." I truthfully replied - finding amusement in his eagerness to jump to conclusions.

"DON'T LIE TO ME !!" He barked, wrenching the kitsune back with his arm in anger, elicting a whimper from her - grasping and holding her tightly in jealous possession.

"Why would you have brought flowers for her if you weren't ?" He asked, laughing evily.

Her eyes fearfully flicked to his before returning to mine; telling me to walk away while i still can and leave her to manage her problems herself.

"What's it to you anyway ?" I lazily asked, feigning a mock yawn.

"You broke off your engagement with her and tried to kill her multiple times."

"What's it to you if someone has some 'fun' with her ?" I teased with a grin.

The atmosphere in the room changed, his eyes twitching as red palpable demonic aura dangerously emanated from his body.

I smiled internally, pleased that i was elicting the exact reaction i desired from him.

"Are you .... insinuating ... something ?" He asked, red lighting streaks flashing in his eyes as they narrowed.

"Well .... we might not have had traditional sex." I began, lifting my arms up in circular gestures.

Her eyes widened in horror, suprise and partial amusement as she realized what i was planning to do.

"But that mouth ...." i elaborated, pointing at the orifice with an index.

"Those heavenly fingers ...." i continued, going lower with a grin.

"And the other entrance ...."

"Are all unrestricted ... for our more adventurous meetings."

Utensils and ceramics cracked and chipped as the demonic energy ramped up; its instigator shuddering in bestial rage and anger.

"I think they call it .... Oral, handjob and Anal ...." I continued, counting the narration on my fingers - struggling to contain my onsetting blush from the vulgarity i was spewing.

Her eyes widened further still, a beet blush coating her features as i shamelessly listed the names accurately.

"So .... we kinda left the main entrance out, out of some respect for you." I finished, beaming innocently.

He flung her aside with a brutal shove; sending her clattering to the floor with a blast.

Red static electricity rippled around his body, following by a pulsing field as he roared in bestial rage; charging up his energy for a fatal attack.

I smiled, stamping my foot down lazily, my eyes burning with an imminent glow, the entire room painting a mesmerizing purple; in direct clash with his overpowering red.

My smile widened further as he continued charging up, roaring bestially - in just the position that i desired him.

My purple burned wilder, effortlessly overpowering his with a symphony of instruments - tiny purple streaks appearing.

"What !!!" He exclaimed, backing away in shock as he observed my full unadulterated power.

Yukimes eyes widened in shock as she too observed the purple glow emanating from my body.

'You ....' she mouthed, as he dashed towards me with a flicker - trying to get the first hit in.

Purple blazed as i flickered into movement, a wild bestial grin appearing on my features; posed at the ready to intercept and deliver my final blow.

My attack landed before his even came close to completion; my fist colliding his chin - the energy in the environment congealing and flowing into my palm to butress the attack.

An energy explosion followed, flinging him away, straight into the wall with a blast - taking the entire wall of the building with it.
