Shadow Fangs

Chapter 20 Mink Route pt.3

      After their, rather awkward, meal, Mink and Zorakuba decided to go out to a club. Zorakuba didn't know why he wanted to go there, but he decided not to question it.  Mink looked like he knew what he was doing.
       Zorakuba had Chef stay in his room since he didn't want to bring him into a club.  Last time Chef was nearly stolen because this weird guy said he "Thought of Chef as cute and wanted him". Oh well. He didn't get Chef, but he did get a broken jaw. 
       Zorakuba looked up at Mink as they arrived at the club, before he showed a card with a butterfly on it to the bouncer.  "Welcome" was all this guy said as they walked inside....what a man of many words.
       Instantly Zorakuba saw flashing lights and people dancing along to loud music with a strange beat.  "Why did you bring me here?" Zorakuba asked after a moment before looking up at Mink, who remained stoic as he looked down at him.  "I want you to go out and spread your wings," is all he said.
       "Wha...? Why?" Zorakuba asked as he followed mink up to a floor that kind of looked like an observation room that looked over the dance floor bellow.  "I do not need to explain to you my reasons....now go," Mink said as he sat in a chair, pulling out what looked to be a pipe.  He placed it in his mouth as he looked at Zorakuba, who sighed after a moment.
      "Fine..." Zorakuba muttered quietly before walking out of the room and back to the dance floor.  Zorakuba looked around slightly before stopping as he looked around.  Some guys were looking at him weird....
      He was snapped out of his thoughts when he felt a tap on his shoulder.  He turned around and saw a man with messy black hair and deep green eyes.  He was wearing a black vest with green designs on it.  His black pants matched.
      "Hey, hey....is it true that the music increases the sensitivity of males?" The man asked as he got into Zorakuba's comfort Zone. "Uh....i-i don't know," Zorakuba said awkwardly as he looked at the male, giving him a look.  Said male didn't seem bothered by his look since he put his arm over Zorakuba's shoulder and leaned uncomfortably close.
       "Why don't we test the theory then hm? I promise you'll have a good time~" he asks with a grin, leaning closer.  Zorakuba gave him another look, before leaning in close to him to where their noses almost touch.  The man seemed to get excited, so Zorakuba decided to let him down gently as he spoke. "Get your hand off my shoulder before I break it you pervert..." he said coldly and stared the now shaking man in the eyes.
       The man quickly removed his arm and backed up. "S...sorry...." the man mumbles before dashing off, probably to flirt with someone else.  Suddenly, he felt a pain in his head and heard a heartbeat.  "Owowow...." he mutters to himself as he holds his temple.  Having his eyes open hurt, and his vision swam.  He closed his eyes, but when he opened them the feet of the people in the club were alot closer.  Had...he fallen down?
      He didn't know.  Zorakuba closed his eye again but felt something hit him in the side.  He opened his eyes again and saw Mink.  He had kicked Zorakuba lightly.  "Get up..." he commands stoicly but when Zorakuba tried to get up he stumbled again.
      Zorakuba felt Mink slide his arm around him while grabbing his arm.  Mink dragged him along the floor towards the door and out of the club.  Zorakuba, all while this is happening, was struggling to keep up.  Odly though, Zorakuba began to laugh under his breath.  It felt like he was floating and falling all at the same time. 
      Mink gave him a look as they made it back to Lotus.  Zorakuba had begun to laugh alittle more as he looked up at Mink, his eyes a vibrant light blue.  This startled Mink.  "Who are you...?" He asked as he let go of Zorakuba, who stood easily and smirked.  Something was wrong.
       "Hehe....Dont you know Mink?  The more and more Zorakuba uses or is exposed to me...i come out more and more," Zorakuba said coyly in a low voice as he watched Mink.  His eyes were cat like slits and shined with mischief. "You can address me as Pixel...a cute nickname my creator  gave me," 'Pixel' laughs alittle at this as Mink realises what he means.
       "You're Zorakuba's scrap power...and your creator is Toue," Mink says, mostly to himself, as he glares coldly at Pixel.  Pixel only laughed and nodded. "Stating the obvious!  But yeah I'm one of his Scrap powers.  I'm his Vocal ability," Pixel says as his voice gets alittle quiet, making Mink's eyes widen.
      "What're you saying....?" Mink asks, sounding uncharacteristicly nervous like he was scared of Zorakuba and the new information he was hearing.  "What I'm saying Mink darling, is that your precious Zorakuba has multiple abilities due to an 'imperfection' that occurred during his testing....but it turned out great for Toue now didn't it?  The more he uses us, Zorakuba that is, the more and more Zorakuba's control is loosened and weakened," Pixel explained with a grin.
       "Give him back..." Mink growls lowly and takes a threatening step towards Pixel, who was laughing lowly.  He held his arms out by his sides. He smirked at Mink like he was mocking him.  "Oh fine....i will give him back to you....but," Pixel starts before suddenly turning and bolting out the door fast.  "You'll have to catch me first Mink!" Pixel shouts as he runs away from Mink and from Lotus. 
         Mink frowns and chases after Zorakuba, shouting for him to stop.  Tori flew overhead to try and tail the rapidly moving Pixel.
Mink moved quickly after him.  He wouldn't let Pixel run away and hurt Zorakuba like this.  He would do anything to get him back.
