AN: Need a beta for my fics, any takers?
_________________________________
“Welcome to Pleasures Day Spa,” a young woman
greeted upon seeing customers entering the building. “Whatever your pleasure we
can accommodate…. Mina-sama, welcome
back. Your usual room?”
Mina smiled. “Where’s Yoko?”
“Miss Yoko is seeing to another customer at the
moment, but I can get her for you,” the woman offered signaling an attendant to
come over to her.
“That isn’t necessary. We are looking for some
friends of ours. The tall girl that I have come with a few times, is she here
with a petite blue haired girl?”
A curious expression crossed her features. “They
are in the Green Tea Room with two Sapiens.”
“We will be joining them as well. Please send
crimson in for all of us and tea for four. Two more
Sapiens will enter behind us, please escort them to the Green Tea Room with no
problems.”
“Yes, Mina-sama. Please enjoy your experience the
both of you.” she nodded towards the attendant to take them to the spa room.
“Mina-sama?”
Mina paused. “Yes?” The woman flushed and looked
away trying to gather her thoughts. “There is nothing to worry about Ai; we all
just need a nice place to relax.”
Ai nodded her head. “Your refreshments, will
arrive shortly.”
“Thank you.” Mina and Rei continued to follow the
escort. As they walked down the hall and through the spa, the two elders both
retreated within their thoughts. Getting past through last centuries would not
have been possible if not for the high council imprinting their minds into them
when they were turned. They were able to sift through memories and experiences
that allowed them to adjust quickly and deal with situations outside of their
realm of expertise. Centuries of continuous knowledge had saved their lives on
more than one occasion and gave them solace when dealing with each of their
empires.
Rei’s violet eyes widened as she heard the door
chime after they turned the corner then misted. “Cassije, you know what I know and see what I see. Is there something I
am overlooking here?”
“Rei, you
and I both interpreted that fire reading. Serena has willed this into being by
wanting you to have a mate. The resistance that the four of you have been
putting up has escalated the matter.”
“I make my
own choices.”
“Then let
the Iotas dispose of them. It is their territory and their prerogative in your
absence. You need not do anything and those two will be killed or worse turned,
then they will be your enemies. In another time you would found your way to him
anyway.”
“You don’t
know that! This is because of Serena’s matchmaking.”
“I have
looked into your history. I know this is so and we both know Serena’s power
well. She is usually vague in what she wills so that there is always enough
room to counter any negative drawbacks. It makes her appear wise when she is
just protecting everyone.”
“I am not about
to just throw myself at him.”
Cassije
laughed. “Nor should do so, as a male I can safely say that giving a man
everything easily is the worst thing that you could ever do for him.”
“No wonder I
am so jaded with comments like that. My motives are not a means of seduction.”
“Aren’t
they?”
“Don’t be…”
“You’re just in time,” Lita greeted as the door
opened. She gestured towards the other three seated at the table. “We were just
about to start.”
“You may want to wait for our other two guests
trailing us,” Mina warned as she kneeled down at the table. She smiled towards
the two men staring at her curiously. “I am sure they don’t want to miss this.”
Zoicite slammed his hands on the table as he
recognized the blonde smiling at him. “I saw you at the electronics show, Mina
, that’s what Ami called you.”
“You have a good memory, Zoi, you don’t mind if I
call you that do you?” She smiled.
Sapphire eyes narrowed, the blonde-haired woman’s
flirtatious ways were inappropriate. “Give it a rest, Mina,” Ami snapped. “It
has been a long day and we have a lot to talk about.”
Mina raised an eyebrow and opened her mouth to
speak when Zoicite interrupted. “I saw you with Yelsha and Ami in the museum.
You were….”
Mina gave Ami and Lita a sideways look, “You two
don’t do things in halves do you?” She looked back at Zoicite and studied his
neck curiously. Along with punctures marks that had dried with blood tracks,
the symbol of Mercury seared into his flesh like a brand. Blue met violet and
they both noted that Nephrite also had a symbol, the symbol of Jupiter, on his
flesh near Lita’s marks. Normally their clan’s marks would appear, the fact
their astrological signs appeared suggested something more unsettling. It also
put her and Rei in a more precarious predicament. “Did you notice…?”
“We will have to discuss that later,” Ami
suggested as the door opened. A valet entered with refreshments and two more
guests.
“There you are, Miss Cinnamon,” Jadeite greeted
entering the room.
“Are the two you going to explain yourselves?”
Malachite asked.
“Which two?” Mina smirked.
“Both,” Malachite answered. Something was stirring
he could feel it and he was on the edge of figuring it out finally. Like
Nephrite he had been feeling the stir of destiny, he just did not advertise it.
Not only did Mina feel right but also this situation felt right and he was sure
he had just walked into the lion’s den by the looks of it. “I will not take no
for an answer.”
Zoicite opened his mouth to answer then shut it.
Having just lived through the situation himself, he had even more questions and
knew that acceptance could not even begin until the initiation happened. “I
have a whole slew of questions once they come back.”
Jadeite shook his head. “We are not going
anywhere. We drove across town and I…”
“Oh shut up,” Rei growled as she pounced Jadeite
and sunk her teeth in the side of his neck. He struggled against her then
settled down as he slipped from consciousness. “Pain in the ass,” she whispered
against his neck as she licked his wounds to clot them. She watched his neck
while she listened to Malachite surrender to Mina. The symbol of Mars blazed
across his skin a few breaths later. She sighed then returned to the table and
downed her cup of crimson. “What I really need is something hard,” she
muttered.
“I think we all could,” Mina agreed. She looked
towards hers friends of a few millennia. “Just how long does the soul link
last, Llyanos, has never performed it and we’re curious.”
“It varies, Quitachi did it when she initiated her
human squires in the past. She found they were more loyal if they experienced
her life.” Lita answered sipping her crimson.
“Literally walking a mile in someone’s shoes,”
Nephrite commented. “That is wise.”
“Thank you.”
“So then the imprinting process was more then just
turning you and giving you their powers,” Zoicite observed. “They imprinted
their memories.”
“More like they imprinted themselves,” Ami
corrected. “They intertwined their souls with ours, a shadow of them lives in
the recesses of our minds. We can seek their council on matters and use their
memories just as we use our own knowledge.”
“A symbiosis,” Zoicite nodded in understanding.
“Then who is control?” Nephrite asked.
“Last time I checked, it was still my body,” Lita
narrowed her eyes. “We are very much ourselves, we just have two streams of
memory.”
“What about the possibility of controlling your
actions in unconsciousness?” Zoicite asked.
“They live in the recesses of our minds, but not
in the portions that control body movement or decisions. At most they would be
able to confuse us or make us see what is not there, but then they would suffer
as well,” Mina ran her finger around the rim of her class thoughtfully.
“What happened to a slew of questions when they
came back?” Rei asked.
“That didn’t change, but I am not going to sit
here looking around for hours either,” Zoicite replied. “Just what are going to
do when this place closes?”
“This spa never closes,” Mina smiled. “Most of us
only get out at night in order to dodge the sun, however Sigmas do not have an
aversion to the sun. We have to have something to do during the day and some
Sapiens frequent here.”
“Why is it that Sigmas can stand the Sun while
other clans can not?” Nephrite asked. “I thought all vampires disintegrated in
the sunlight.”
“You watch too much TV,” Lita smirked. “It doesn’t
work like Buffy. I love that show it’s hilarious. I was glued to it every
week.”
“You would be,” Rei murmured.
“What’s that supposed to mean, Rei?”
Ami ignored the two bickering friends and turned
to Zoicite. “The sun burns our skin slowly until we eventually catch fire.
Sigmas have the blessing of Venus through Mina and with it the ability to
withstand the sun’s radiation.”
‘Then are different abilities associated with each
clan?” Ami nodded. Nephrite crossed his arms and sat for a moment as he soaked
in all the information. “And you’re telling us all of this without any type of
stipulation?”
“We wouldn’t say that,” Mina answered.
“So then you are going to kills us?” Zoicite
concluded.
“Oh please, you are just as dense as pretty boy
over there,” Rei snapped. “You followed Ami and Lita to this spa in the heart
of Iota territory, just like those nimrods followed us. You exposed yourself as
unclaimed mortals questioning about immortals in an immortal establishment. You
would have been executed the moment you left our sight. We did it to save your
lives.”
“Bring it down a notch, Rei,” Lita scolded. “They
didn’t know.”
“Well what’s done is done,” Mina sighed. “There is
no use is crying over spilt crimson.”
Zoicite and Nephrite raised eyebrows in confusion
as the other girls shook their heads. “Go with it,” Ami suggested. Her lips
quirked slightly in a smile as she observed Zoicitie’s caught of guard look. Mina was still Mina,
wacky colloquiums and all.

Malachite sat up in a chamber and groaned. “That
bitch bit me,” he exclaimed in annoyance as he grabbed the side of his neck. A
quick examination showed that there was no damage.
“I thought it was kind of erotic actually,”
Jadeite replied.
“Spare me the drabbling of your freaky sexual fantasies,
Jadeite.”
“Well, Mr. Sunshine, while you were laid out on
the floor sleeping. I have been hanging around here trying to find a way out of
here and thinking.” Jadeite leaned against the wall. “Your elusive prey and my
Miss Cinnamon are vampires.”
“I figured that out when Mina bit the shit out of
me,” Malachite spat as he stood to his feet. “Where are we?”
“Some kind of dungeon. I think they killed us. I
was here by myself a few days and then you appeared on the floor. You’ve been
unconscious for about a week.”
Malachite’s brow furrowed. He refused to accept
that he was dead. It just did not seem
right. “What makes you think we’re dead?”
“I have seen several people come and go. None of
them noticed you or me nor could I touch them. Plus I haven’t slept or eaten
once.”
“So what are we haunting a place we’ve never seen
before?” Malachite asked. “That can’t be right. This place is too boring to be
hell.”
“Then I am out of theories,” Jadeite shrugged.
“The architecture of this dungeon is almost a
thousand years old and still looks new.” Malachite walked around observing the stone walls and moulding.
“Yeah you’re right. Maybe we….” Jadeite vanished.
“Jadeite!” Malachite screamed out as he rushed
over to where his friend had been. Jadeite had been his only link to sanity and
the real world as was gone. Maybe he would return in a few days just as Jadeite
had said he did earlier. Perhaps they could only occupy this space at certain
times. “What the hell is going on?”
he wondered as two forms appeared in the room with him.
“Lord Llyanos, it as you feared a number of our
brethren have been killed by the Hunters,” dark haired vassal informed as tall blonde man stood looking out of the
window. “Was the solution that the council came up with what you hoped?”
Llyanos looked away from the window smiling though
it did not reach his eyes. In fact, they reflected everything but amusement. “It
was one of Eliash’s better plans, provided everyone survives to carry it out.”
“I am here for you Lord Llyanos, what do you want
me to do?”
“This I have to do myself, old friend,” he
answered. “I do need you to continue to hold the hunters at bay while I set
things right.”
“Yes, Lord Llyanos,” the vassal bowed his head.
“May you return to us victorious.”
Llyanos nodded. “Victory,” he said confidently
then left the room before his trusted man could read him and know he would not
come back from this. The urgency of this mission did not lessen just because it
meant his death. His clan needed him and he do all he could to ensure their
ultimate survival.
Malachite felt himself pull in the direction that
Llyanos left. He had a feeling that this was going to be a long journey.
