Twin Kitsunes: Darkness Falls

⤚ Tracking Her ⤙

Storm

SILENCE filled the air. The outlet with the Asian market was a small one. Made for quick and easy shopping. It was one of Ara's and Aki's favorite place to shop due to the choices that the Asian market sold. It was a nice place.

I didn't go here often though, the only thing that interested me was the pocky. And my wolf was a bitch when it came to us having to go in here. It didn't like public places in general. But this place was the area of our main goal at hand.

And as we arrived it was confirmed. We had no text message from Ara and she was nowhere in sight. Daiki was still as he looked across the parking lot as Issei came up and placed his hand against the tree and closed his eyes. The scents here ran rampage.

From the smell of gasoline to the humans who had come and go. But I was specifically detecting Ara's scent out, and it still lingered in the air. A sign that she had left . . . correct terms; she had been taken. The nogitsune took our bait. Issei's eyes slowly opened at that.

He was the ultimate one who would confirm what happened. Issei had a special gift from being a nogitsune. He could see through nature's eyes. Daiki looked at his younger brother who bit his lip. And then he delivered the news, "He took the bait, he took her like expected."

Issei however had this unknown look in his eyes. As if he had seen something he didn't want to see, something he wanted to unsee. "Was mother there?" Daiki asked no doubt wondering if that was what Issei had seen and was causing the discomfort flowing throughout the air.

It flew like silk weaving around everyone. Nightshade stepped out from the woods silent as ever as she looked at Issei. Her eyes narrowed in on him. She had insisted on coming, an insist that we all denied; save for Issei, but she ignored us and followed us anyway without a care about our answer. She cared little for us telling her not to come with.

She had her own idea on that and followed us anyway. "What else?" I asked and Issei glanced at me. "Did you see something else?" Daiki asked a bit unsure of what the answer would be.

Issei took in a deep breath. "Your not going to like it at all, it opens up a shit ton of problems." Issei spoke. "My girlfriend is with a fucking nogitsune I promise you it's fine." Daiki responded. Issei looked up as he sucked in some breath before speaking.

"Akiya was with him."

The ride back to the house was silent. No one dared to speak with what Issei had put forth. He wasn't fucking around when he said what he saw would bring about more problems. When Ena pulled up to the house none of us wasted time to get out as Ena disappeared inside.

"And your saying he didn't look like a captive?" Daiki asked as he stopped in the driveway. "No, he had no sign saying I'm captive, no handcuffs or anything. He helped them drag Araya away, unless they threatened him, but his facial expression said otherwise about the threaten part."

Issei gave Daiki an apologetic look. Daiki had things that he didn't want to happen and things he didn't want to hear. "Why would Akiya be with them?" Daiki asked. Issei shook his head. "I don't know." Issei admitted.

Daiki sucked in some breath. And then he opened his eyes visibly angrier than before. "We are going after Araya here soon, I refuse to let her be in the hands of a nogitsune who could be hurting her." Daiki said before he angrily stormed off into the house.
