Shadows

Alliance

Kusanagi's POV

As she walks up the stairs, the guys started to ask questions as to why she was here, I just shrugged, "I wonder..." was all I said before ordering them to go on some patrols. Not wanting to comply they headed for the door, as they piled out, Yata came back looking confused as to why everyone was leaving. "Oh good, youre back!" I say cheerfully. "Why you kick everyone out?" He asked. "Just so they wouldn't disturb the meeting going on up stairs thays all. Can you actually go up there, I think it would be good for you to be there." I walk over, locking the door, and we both make our way upstairs.

Misaki's POV

I was very confused as we walked into Mikoto's room and see Mikoto, Tatara. And Anna sitting on the couch, across from ___. "Ah good, we were just about to start!" Tatara says in his usual cheerful self. ____ looked at me, smiling, making me blush. Oh now she wants to acknowledge me. Kusanagi pushed me over, signaling me to go sit down next to her, as he sits on the opposite side of her. She sits up straight, clearing her throat.

"Well, can we start?" She asked, making a serious face, Mikoto grunts a little, giving her an okay. "Okay, well... as the leader of Mazoku, I humbly request an alliance with Homura." "No" Kusanagi, Tatara, and I all look at each other, a little surprised. She didn't move or anything, just continued to hold her poker face, "Why not?" She asked, "I don't trust you." She smirks, standing up, "How about, I make you an offer, if I win you form the alliance, if you win, I walk out and you never have to hear from me again? Or you can take a chance, because... after all, we both know something big is about to happen."

I watch as he stands up, showing his aura. "So, I guess I'll just have to win your trust..." I stood up in shock when, what looked like, black smoke started to swirl around her, a purplish glow coming from her chest. She reached into her chest pulling a katana out, pointing it at Mikoto, I frown and get ready to tackle her, when Kusanagi stopped me. "Get Anna and Tatara out of here." As soon as he said that, Mikoto grabbed her and threw her through the window, making her drop to the ground level. He then followed her, jumping down. I ran over and looked down, she gets up quick and smiles.

I clenched my teeth, "Who the fuck does she think she is?" I say under my breath.

Your POV

After getting up, i look up and see Yata looking down at us, I wondered what he was thinking at the moment. He probably hates me right now, funny how dogs can be so loyal. I smile up at him, "Don't worry, even if I lose, I'll still see you!" I tease. His face turning red, but I could still see that anger from him, well I did challenge his King. All well...

I lunged forward swinging my weapon down, and then back up, barely cutting a piece of hair off as he dodged. He tried kicking me, but I jumped backwards on to a dumpster, only to be burned a little on my hands as his aura grew. I hissed before I decided to use my powers, surrounding myself with my shadows, smirking as the alleyway we were in becomes pitch black. I jumped wall from wall, trying to hit him any chance I got, cutting his arm and cheek. But, all he did was smirk, easily dodging. I sigh, clearing my shadows, I stood there, watching him. Neither of us moved. All of a sudden, I rushed to him, but he didn't move at all. I swung my blade at his neck, but stopped.

"Only a King can kill a King....." I say, watching a drop of blood fall from the small cut. "This was litterally a 3 minute fight, and I lost, usually its the other way around." He knocks the blade away, taking a cigerette out, "Lost?" I look down, and watched as my blade dissolved into the shadows, "How did you know I wasnt gonna cut off your head just now? Well, whatever, doesnt matter, you won so you wont have to see me ever again." Blowing a cloud of smoke out he frowns, "Neither of us lost, I decided to give you a chance to see what you would do." I shake my head, holding my hand out. Ignoring my hand, he walks past me and back into the bar.

Misaki's POV

She stood there, unable to move. I jump down from the window, and walk up to her. "He might trust you, but I don't. Anyone who attacks Mikoto like that is an enemy." "Well, its hard to be enemies when we work together now." I looked at her confused, "W-what?" Her face hardens, its the same face she made when she first showed up that night, "I said, we will be working together now." Using that commanding voice. "Then why the fuck are you mad!" "Because he is fucking with me, how dare he toy with me like that! If he was going to accept the alliance like that in the first place, why didn't he? And on top of that, ignoring me in the end? Does your 'King' have any respect for anyone?" After her mini rant she walked away, leaving me confused.

I go back inside to see Kusanagi a little upset, "The window really?! Why would you throw her out the window? Not only do I have to fix the window now, but you disrespected her on a whole new fucking level!" Mikoto shrugged sitting on the couch, "Just a little fun was all." Kusanagi sighed, "Listen, the organization she runs is nothing but strains, and on top of that, she has connections with the Gold King, she could be considered an important ally." I sat down, ignoring anything else he had to say, she got what she wanted, so why was she upset?
