The Kunoichi Demoness



Chapter 1:Her Strength

She swiftly made her way through the woods, the cool night wind whipping through her bronze mask and silky raven hair.  The moon light shining down from the midnight sky as the stars twinkled about like lights to guide her.  But she didn’t need them.  She didn’t need anything.  Her vision was enhanced; even the darkest night could not impair her vision. Her eyes had a kind of glow about them at night.  It was the only thing you could see when it was this dark.  Maybe the first and last thing you saw before you woke up in the great beyond.  She was so swift and accurate that you sometimes they never saw it coming, just a black blur before the complete darkness of the unknown.  No one really knew who she was but those who had heard of her didn’t want to end up on her list.

She was an assassin and would work for just about anyone if the price was right.  She wasn’t the type who likes to follow orders though.  She like to do things her way or not at all and those who had ever required her services knew this about her.  They also knew that if they hired her for a job it would get done.  She always got the job done and now the job was Goro Takanomi, a very wealth, very powerful man.  He was also very corrupt and the reason behind a lot of innocents being slaughtered.  He was the kind of guy that would kill just for the fun of it and the others had enough of his wild ways.  He was a liability to the other member of the group in which he belonged to and they did not like the reputation he had and how it affected their name as a whole.  Takanomi had to be dealt with and she was just the person to deal with him once and for all.

She could sense she was close to her target.  She was getting closer to the building in which he stayed in the penthouse on the top.  From rooftop to rooftop she hopped until she was on the building directly across from her target. Takanomi was obviously busy torturing some poor young woman taking pleasure in her pain.  She glared at him from the other rooftop as she watched him through his window. She was  ready to make her way to the other building and sneak in to eliminate Takanomi when she thought she heard someone coming.  It was faint but she knew that someone was approaching and they were coming quickly.  

Finally the figure landed on the other end of the roof.  She looked at him with a bit of annoyance and confusion.  They couldn’t have possibly sent her reinforcement.  They knew very well that she worked alone, so who was this and what did he want?

‘The nerve of this guy just standing there glaring at me.  He’s only standing there like that because he doesn’t know any better’ she smirked to herself and calmly readied herself for what he might do next.

He just stood there.  His expression unreadable as the wind blew his worn red scarf.  He was obviously a samurai or ninja of some sort.  The moonlight made his stormy blue eyes shimmer but there were moments where she could have sworn she saw flashes of red as well.  She was usually not easily intimidated by anyone human or not but his silence and uncaring attitude is what worried her.  Usually she got the loud mouth cocky type that bragged about how he would teach her a lesson and have his way with her, but they always ended up just another number to add to her growing list of casualties.

But this guy was definitely different.  He still didn’t say a word as he continued to look at her.

“So did you come here to stare at me or did you come to fight?  I have a job to do and you’re wasting time” the young female assassin broke the silence.  
Nothing.  He still just stood silent.  He raised an eyebrow but that was it.  His attitude was really starting to get to her.

‘Who does this guy really think he is?  Just standing there pretending not to hear me . . . or he just chooses to ignore me which is even worse’ she thought as she glared back but found herself giving him a once over, sizing him up.

She noticed that he seemed to be in great physical shape from what she could see.  His chiseled arms gave away what the rest of him must have looked like underneath the red and black clothing he had on.  Once she snapped herself out of her out of the unusual thought, she noticed the location of his sword and figured if she moved quickly enough she could take his weapon and disable him.

Not two seconds after she thought it, she was doing it.  To the young female assassins surprise he actually countered her attack blocking it then grabbing her by the arm tightly.

“Damn you, I thought you were gonna just stand there like you had been doing.  I guess that’s just way too easy for me huh?” she wiggled her way out of his grasp and jumped back.

Even after all of this there was still not a single word from him.

“Look . . . like I said, my trouble isn’t with you it’s with that guy over there” she pointed to the building across from them.  “Just let me do my job and I’ll be on my way” she rubbed her wrist where he grabbed her and walked away to leave and make her way to the other rooftop.

“Wait . . . ” he finally spoke to her as she was walking away.  

The young female assassin turned around to see what else he had to finally say.

“That guy . . . he’s my target.  I am here for him.  I will take care of him” he said matter-of-factly.

“You finally speak and it’s to tell me that you’re here for my target.  I don’t get paid if ‘you’ do the job” she answered back.

“It’s really pointless to argue about it.  He is ‘my’ target and I will take care of him” he spoke in a firm tone as if to tell her to back off.

“Look I’m not sure who you are but this is my job and I’m gonna do this,” the girl was really starting to lose her patience at this point.

“My name is Jasutin not that it makes any difference right now.  I really don’t want to argue with you lady but I have a job to do.”

She frowned at him and answered.  

“The name isn’t ‘lady’.  I am the Kunoichi Demoness and unless you want to find out first hand what it’s like to become one on my ‘list’ I suggest you leave and let me do ‘my’ job” she said with a false confidence.  

She wasn’t sure what it was but something about him made her uneasy and she didn’t like it.

He walked away as though she said nothing at all and looked over at the other building.
“Dammit!  Now he’s gone” Jasutin said clinching his fists as he discovered the target had left the building.

“Well he would have been dead already if ‘you’ hadn’t shown up and distracted me” the Kunoichi Demoness hissed at him.

“It doesn’t matter now cuz he’s gone.  And he’s probably spotted us.  I wouldn’t be surprise if he sent his goons up here to greet us.”

“Whatever, it’s not like I’m worried about his lackeys.  I’ll be gone before they even show up.  As for him, I’ll just catch him later.  You just be sure to stay out of my way.  You have wasted enough of my time” and with those final words she was off into the night again.



******************************************************************************


Back at the apartment the young female assassin’s roommate was waiting for her to arrive.  When she finally did, her roommate could tell that things didn’t go as they did usually.  She walked in with a confused and frustrated expression instead of the satisfied accomplished expression that usually graced her features.

“Mika what happened?  I was expecting you back a little sooner.  I can’t believe that ‘you’ got held up” her roommate jumped up from the couch to greet her.

“Yeah . . . I didn’t get the target Jynxy” Mika said with disappointment in her tone.

Jynx was shocked at her statement.  She had never heard those words come from Mika’s mouth before.

“You didn’t complete your mission?”  Jynx asked just to be sure she heard Mika correctly.

Mika sighed.  “No . . . I didn’t.  I was . . . distracted” she said hesitantly.

“Distracted?  You were distracted by something?” Jynx was still not understand how Mika of all people was so easily distracted.  This was not like the ruthless assassin she knew.

“Yeah, why so surprised?  I mean it had to happen eventually right?” Mika said making up an excuse for what happened.

“I guess, but it usually doesn’t happen to you” Jynx replied.

Mika walked over to the concealed closet entering a key code opening it up.  Inside was a wall of weapons of all kinds.  She took her sais off of her belt and placed them on their hooks next to her katana.  

“Yeah well I guess I’m not the perfect killing machine after all” Mika plopped down on the couch and laid her head back against the couch rubbing her temples.  “I think I’m getting a headache.”

“You want me to go get you something?” Jynx asked but didn’t wait for an answer as she got up and went to get the pain relievers and a glass of water.

Jynx came back and sat next to Mika handing her the water and the pill.

“Thanks Jynxy.  I can’t believe I have a headache of all things” Mika sighed figuring it was probably due to the fact she had so many things going through her head at once.

“So are you gonna tell me exactly what happened or do I have to guess?”  Jynx asked sitting there in her night clothes consisting of some extremely short cut off jogging pants and a small fitted baby tee that showed off her belly.

“I don’t know if I should.  I’m not even sure what happened” Mika said hoping Jynx would just leave it alone.

“Well I wanna know so go ahead and spill” she sat up giving her full attention to Mika.

“Well . . . everything was fine.  I arrived on schedule to take out the target, but then ‘he’ showed up” Mika held her head.

“ ‘He’ showed up?   Who is ‘he’ and why didn’t you just get rid of him like everyone else?  I mean was he a demon or a human or what?”

“I’m not really sure if he was demon or not.  I mean look at me and you.  Can people really tell that there is anything demon about us . . . well except your cute bat ears?” Mika joked but only cracked a half smile.

Jynx rolled her eyes and waited for Mika to continue.

“Anyway, this guy pretty much just stood there and didn’t do anything.  He just stared at me with this like blank expression.  He had the most amazing blue eyes I have ever seen though” she said kind of in a daze. “It was like he was looking into my soul with them.”

Jynx smirked.  “I see what the distraction was now.  Seems to me that you’ve got a crush on this guy you don’t even know.  At least tell me this . . . is he like really hot.”

“I do not have a crush, so whether he’s hot or not is besides the point”Mika frowned denying anything Jynx was saying.

“Yeah and I noticed that you are avoiding actually answering me, so he must be hot” Jynx said with a huge smile on her face.

Mika blushed but didn’t respond to Jynx.

“Ok well . . . did he at least tell you his name?” Jynx tried another approach.

“Yeah he did.  His name was Josh or Jasutin . . . something like that” Mika pretended not to really care and like she had actually forgotten his name.

“Josh or something like that huh?  For some reason I believe you know just what his name is but I’ll leave you alone for now” Jynx smiled knowingly.

“Kay . . . whatever.  I’m going to bed.  See you in the morning” Mika got up and made her way to her room removing her clothing along the way.



******************************************************************************


By the time she was in her room she was half undressed in nothing but her black lace panties.  She had pajamas and wore them outside her room but felt more comfortable in close to nothing at all when she was sleeping.  Mika cut off her bedroom light and climbed into her bed pulling the deep purple comforter over her barely covered body and slowly drifted to sleep.

Mika woke up at about 1am.  For some reason she just couldn’t stay asleep.  She couldn’t stop thinking about Jasutin.  Mika got up from her bed and walked over to her window to open it.  The cool night breeze gently blowing her sheer curtains open.  As the cool air hit her warm skin, she could feel it make her nipples perk.  She didn’t even notice the set of eyes watching her from the rooftop across from her apartment building.  Once she finally noticed she was being watched she quickly covered her breast and glared at the shadowed figure.

Before she could walk away, the figure was perched on her window sill.

“Jasutin? ...” Mika asked with a mixture of irritation and confusion.

“Mika . . . ” he said just above a whisper, very low and breathy.  She didn’t even think to ask how he knew her real name.

He stared into her eyes and Mika couldn’t get over that look he was giving her.  His blue eyes seem to be searching her soul, putting her into a trance.  Then in a flash they were blood red.

All Mika could do was stand there covering herself.  Jasutin came in and slowly approached her, his now scarlet eyes never leaving hers.  Mika gasped and jumped slightly when he wrapped his arms around her pulling her close to him.  

She couldn’t help but nuzzle into the fabric of his shirt and scarf.  She felt like she belonged there in his arms . . . like she belonged to him.  Mika felt safe and loved like it had always been that way, but they had just met.

Before she could process everything that was happening Jasutin’s lips were pressed against her own.  Their kiss was soft and slow.  His hands caressing the soft supple skin of her back as the kiss deepened.  Mika pulled away from the kiss, their lips still touching as she panted slightly.

“I-I love you Jasutin” she couldn’t stop herself from saying the words.  

One part of her said this was wrong you just met him, but the other part of her knew this was right and knew he felt the same way, like they were meant to be together.

Jasutin just smiled and continued to kiss her.  He broke away and kissed her neck and began to gently suck upon it.   Mika moaned softly as she wished she wasn’t the only person half dressed at the moment.  He seemed to have an unfair advantage as he began placing small soft kisses up her neck to her ear.

Jasutin licked her ear before softly whispering into it.  “I love you too Mika” he said before continuing to place soft kisses down her making his way to her collar bone, then working his way from there to gently kiss the top of her breasts.  He slowly took one of her mounds into his hands kneading it as he continued to kiss her.  Mika let her eyes close.

Mika opened her eyes to find herself laying in her bed.  She quickly shot up out of her bed and ran over to peer out of her window but he wasn’t there.  

‘Get a hold of yourself Mika.  Now you’re dreaming about him.  It’s bad enough you can’t stop thinking about the guy and he barely said a word to you’ she thought to herself as she closed her curtain and walked back over to her bed.

Mika sat there at the edge of her bed trying to collect her thoughts.  There was no way she’d be going back to sleep anytime soon if she didn’t.

After she sat there for awhile she finally got back into her bed pulling her blanket over her.  She lay on her pillow looking up at the ceiling fan.  She thought maybe the spinning of the blades and the humming of the motor would lull her to sleep.

It didn’t keep her attention long enough.  Mika found herself staring at her window instead.

‘What have you done to me?’ she thought as she continued to stare until she drifted back off to sleep.
