Chapter One “Bloody Night”
She sat in a dark reclining chair, waiting. Waiting for a sound, a sign that might indicate his return. Her normally brown eyes glowed red in the faint moonlight that washed into the room.
Her muscles were tense; her claws dug into the arm of the chair. As she though she bared her fangs a low growl escaping as she mumbled,
“Damn you Mako.”
She raised her head suddenly, a familiar scent reaching her scent glands. The door creaked open and a man strolled in, his cape rustled as he shut the door. He turned a surprised look appeared on his face as he saw the girl.
“Kitty.” He said, his tone surprised, worried.
In a flash as quick as lightening she was out of the chair and had him pinned against the wall.
“Now Mako where have you been?” she asked, her eyes flashing, her voice strained with suppressed anger.
He gulped as he stared into her almost burning eyes.
“No where just out.” He lied smiling slightly.
“Yeah right! Mako you can’t fool me. Not when I can smell the bitches scent all over you!” She yelled tears welling in her eyes.
She hated this, whenever she got mad her emotions got outta control.
Mako tensed, he knew he wouldn’t get out of this easily.
“Oh come on Kitty, you know I must feed.” He said his tone soft as he tried to calm her.
“Yes Mako you have to feed, as do I but you don’t have to ******** every b***h you feed off of.” She hissed, poison in her voice.
“Now come on Kitty, I can’t have a little fun while I feed?” he asked, a devilish grin appearing on his face.
She growled, raising her hand to deliver a slap to him, but Mako caught her hand and quickly reversed their positions. He grabbed her other hand, raising both above her head. She bared her fangs as she glared up at him.
His eyes flashed calmly but with caution, for he knew her anger.
“Now will you calm down and listen?” He asked but there was warning in his voice.
She looked down which was as close to a ‘yes’ as he was gonna get.
“We go through this everytime, look,” He met his eyes with hers, “yes I enjoy a little fun while I feed. But you shouldn’t get mad because I love you and only you, those other girls are nothing to me.”
She held his intense gaze for a moment then she looked down her anger subsiding and her eyes turning back to brown.
He released her hands catching a peace of her brown hair between his fingers and placing it behind her ear.
He then took her hands in his again, raising her left hand to his lips, kissing it softly. Her heart skipped a beat as it began to race. He smiled, as he looked at her face, which was now flushed, red.
A silent laugh filled the room. Mako and Kitty looked with shocked expressions. A tall man with long brown hair and a sword strapped to his back was leaning against the far wall his expression amused.
“Damnit Levi can’t you knock!” Kitty said annoyed.
“I could’ve but all the yelling sounded interesting.” He grinned.
“How long have you been here?” Mako asked his voice hinted with anger.
“Not long,” Levi answered a sheepish grin appearing on his face, “but I ain’t alone.”
The window rattled as it was slid open. Another man slipped in, he was tall with short brown hair, in his hand was a staff.
“Hey Keith.” Levi greeted.
Kitty rolled her eyes, mumbling just loud enough for Mako to hear,
“Great was every ******** body we know listening.”
“So what are you doing here Keith?” Kitty asked.
“Well I was in the woods over there, and I heard all the yelling so I figured I’d come over and be nosey, I thought you were gonna kill Mako this time.” He said his voice casual but his expression showing with amusement.
She glared from Levi to Keith and back again.
“Oh come on you two, we go through this everytime, there isn’t anything new.” Mako said wrapping his arms around Kitty’s waist, trying to keep her calm.
“Yeah maybe but we can hope right.” Levi laughed.
A knock came on the door.
“Kitty, are you there?” a voice sounded.
“Come in.” Mako said, since Kitty was still glaring at Levi and Keith.
The door opened and a boy walked in, his skin slightly tanned and his black hair was ruffled up by the wind. He shut the door, looking at the four people in the room.
“Hello Adam.” Kitty said shifting a glance in his direction.
“Um Kitty, you don’t mind if I..” he stared before she cut him off.
“ You want to stay here because April kicked you out again.” She guessed obviously reading his mind.
He nodded hanging his head.
Mako looked at him sighing.
“Fine you can stay, you can sleep on the couch.” He said his voice hard.
Kitty shot him a swift glance.
“Well the night’s still young, but I better get back to my house otherwise I’ll have an angry girlfriend,” Levi said grimly, “See you around Mako, Kitty.” He disappeared.
Keith stepped to the open window,
“I better go too, I gotta go meet Nathan, see you two around.”
With that said he disappeared out the window and into the night.
“Damn idiots.” Mako growled.
Kitty let her tense muscles relax, ultimately letting her guard down as well. Mako snaked his arms around her embracing her in a hug. She leaned gratefully against his chest.
“Are you okay?” he asked lying his chin on top of her head.
“I don’t really know anymore.” She sighed.
Mako rolled his eyes slightly, pulling her over to the reclining chair. Once he sat he pulled her onto his lap. He reached stroking her hair lightly.
“What’s wrong?” he asked his voice a soft whisper.
“Nothing really I’m just a little tired.” She answered lying her head on his shoulder.
“Umm should I leave you two alone?” Adam’s question rang around the room.
“No you’re fine,” Kitty said before adding after getting a funny look from Mako, “Mako and I are going out.”
She stood walking to the closet picking out a black cloth jacket and slipping into it. She walked back to the living room, where Mako stood waiting at the door.
“Adam make yourself at home while we’re gone.” Kitty said going to the door.
“Okay,” Adam said, “Uh have fun.”
Kitty shot him a glance before slipping out the door Mako behind her.
Mako wrapped his arms around her.
“Ready?” he asked as he picked her up.
“Yes.” She whispered.
They disappeared moving quickly through the night traveling at the speed of light. They entered the forest, the trees flying by until they came to a stop in a moonlit clearing. He sat her down lightly.
“This is so beautiful.” She breathed walking out to the center of the clearing.
“Yes, beautiful.” Mako said appearing behind her placing his hands on her neck. She turned to look into his eyes, which flashed in the moonlight. Their eyes held each staring intently into one another. Mako slowly leaned his head down, his lips meeting Kitty’s. He wrapped his arms around her. Kitty could only stare astonished and surprised into his eyes.
