Seal of Darkness
CHP19: Reconcile

Finishing the last of the print outs, a woman walked the halls of Driafigura Corp looking over a clock as she passed through. Similar to most nights, she worked overtime but it didn't bother her or tire her. She was a shinso vampire, her endurance and stamina ions above any typical human. The door to the CEO's office was halfway open and voices stemmed from the other side, the vampire recognizing both. Moving slowly and on her toes, she positioned beside the door and due to her heightened senses, listened in as if she were standing in the room beside them.
"And what did he say?"
The voice belonged to Todd, she was certain of it.
"You know how stubborn he is, no matter what I said he wouldn't budge. His opinion remains firm."
"Alliya Gerdanson," Akasha uttered, confirming the second individual.
"Persistent bastard, I'll give him that!" Todd punched at a nearby wall.
"Don't worry hun, I'll convince him some way or another. Our affair must stay a secret, if he were to find out I'd lose all credibility. But I wouldn't consider this much of an affair, he's been prude during the duration of our relationship. I have a photo shoot early tomorrow morning or else I'd invite you over tonight. But I am however available tomorrow night, what do you say? My place, eight o'clock, I'll make dinner and then we can have a little fun after."
"Fun?" Todd grinned.
"Yes, fun," Alliya returned the smile.
"Ooh, I love the sound of that!" Todd pulled her in close, his arms wrapped around her waist.
The two embraced in a kiss, Todd's hands venturing downward and grabbing at Alliya's butt. Outside the door, Akasha exhaled and stepped through the opening, both so caught up in the moment they didn't even notice her. She opened her mouth to speak, but then the vampire's eyes fell over Todd's desk and more specifically at an item. The purse undoubtedly belonged to Alliya, but it was the cell phone beside it that got the shinso thinking, a menacing grin shaping over her lips. The small electronic likely belonged to the super model as well. Akasha quickly marched across the carpet and dropped the papers over the cell, and slipped it out from beneath using her opposite hand. Todd immediately pulled away from Alliya, and a frown falling upon Akasha.
"Dammit Misaki, again!"
"My apologies sir, the door was left open. Here are the printouts you requested, and if there is nothing further I'd like to excuse myself for the night."
Todd took a deep breath and exhaled.
"You may retire for the evening, I'll see you first thing in the morning."
"Yes, of course," Akasha nodded.
She took off for the exit right away and breathed a sigh of relief. Neither Todd nor Alliya noticed the swap of the cellphone. Once a safe enough distance away, the vampire powered on the device. She had grown accustomed to modern technology, so operating the appliance wasn't difficult, surveying Alliya's contacts. As expected his name appeared, but in the mid-section of the list, Akasha unable to hold back a smile. Running one finger over the contact "Bruce Wayne", she sent a text, simply informing him to meet at Alliya's place the next night, thirty minutes after eight. In essence it would give Todd and Alliya enough time to finish dinner and get right into dessert. It wasn't the perfect plan to expose the model, but if things worked out in the way the vampire envisioned, Bruce would walk in on his proclaimed woman doing something only lovers should be caught doing. Akasha fully planned to return the phone, but not until after things played out and until then, she could only hope they wouldn't talk with each other.
Her thoughts were interrupted following a buzz in her left pocket, her own personal phone vibrating. She dropped Alliya's cell into her opposite pocket and answered the call.
"Good news madam," the voice of her servant spoke on the other end. "You're set to go for the race. Your earnings will go towards animal shelters in the city. Also I've uploaded the information you requested onto a flash drive."
"Excellent, knew I could count on you."
"I've got something else that'll blow your mind. They're here, the Sevsai Three!"
"You're kidding, tell them I'm on my way!"

Gel's Plaza was in plain view, the batmobile accelerating down the road and coming to a sliding stop, the cape crusader and Vampire Bat leaping out. The scene was comparable to nights ago, during which GCPD was ambushed but the difference being a confrontation between two separate gangs. At least from his perspective that's how it appeared. Police officials surrounded the entire road block creating a perimeter. No criminal was to escape and civilians were forced away from the active shootout. The dark knight hadn't a clue of the persons leading either gang, but that didn't stop him or Vampire Bat. Alongside Nightwing who arrived minutes before, the trio fought alongside each other.
A handful of gunmen were already apprehended and cuffed, but the shootout was far from over. Media of the evening news were blocks away, uncovering details of what took place behind them as information was passed along. Helicopters hovered around, monitoring the shootout unfold from up high and ambulances in pursuit of the area as well. The Gel Plaza was on fire, every inch of the building in flames and burning to a crisp. Batman and Nightwing fought back to back and Vampire Bat nearby. Nightwing carried two clubs, whacking at the heads and bodies of incoming criminals. Ultimately the masked heroes separated, feeling they'd make more progress apart, but kept a watchful eye. One stabbed at Vampire Bat using a pocket knife, but the weapon pulled from his hands. She kneed him in the stomach and then threw out her leg, the heel of her boot forcefully colliding with his throat. Another pursued her from the left and Moka forced him back with an open palm and kicked him to the ground. She twisted the arm of another and grabbed at his throat, slamming him to the ground.
Dodging from side to side, Nightwing flipped over three and while airborne kicked at the backs of their heads. Each dropped down, and the masked hero knocked them out cold. Gunmen shot at the dark knight from a distance, but his armor held and swiftly closed the distance. In just a couple strikes the gunmen were taken down. During the scuffle, he noticed something from the corner of his eye.
"Black Mask!"
The A list criminal was in view, kneeled behind a vehicle and shot at thugs from the opposite gang. And just like that, the question of the gangs involved was answered for one side. He made certain to keep an eye on the specific criminal, continuing his assault on nearby gunmen. Batman threw out his cape stunning one thug and threw him to the left where Vampire Bat elbowed and slammed him to the ground. Seeing as three enemies approached from her left, Moka dropped down as Batman jumped over her kicking at the first. She ran out pushing off his shoulders and laying out the two remaining with a roundhouse kick. Nightwing observed from afar and hindered any further movement, his mouth slightly open. An additional gunman fired at them from a distance, but wiring from Batman's grapple gun forced him in their direction and Vampire Bat knocked him out in a single kick. She then side stepped an enemy that came at her from behind, Batman KOing him in one punch. Simultaneously as if on cue, the duo KO'd two additional thugs, protecting each other's blindside. In seeing this Nightwing clinched his fists.
He quickly joined at their side and little by little with the help of police enforcement, the criminals were reduced to small numbers. Batman elbowed one across the face and tossed him into the side of a car, the vehicle in particular which Black Mask hid behind! Into the air and over the vehicle, Batman chucked a single batarang disarming the A list thug of his handgun. Black Mask stood but was slammed against the vehicle and held up by his throat.
"You're finished! Black Gate awaits you!"
Batman lowered the criminal and knocked him out in one strike. The remaining gunmen were overwhelmed and surrendered. All were thrilled the active shootout was over, but none more than him. His smirk was undeniable and could hardly contain his sense of triumph. None of it would have been possible without his doing, Black Mask's hideout infiltrated and more importantly his elimination.
"Cobblepot will be pleased," Thomas Sandrell rubbed his hands together.
Things couldn't have gone better, his status as a mole inside the police force unknown and feeding the Penguin all sorts of valuable information. A snicker escaped his lips, watching as the dark knight handed Black Mask over to the police. Shortly thereafter he stepped off to the side and was approached by both Nightwing and Vampire Bat.
"What was all that back there?" Nightwing glared.
"What was what?" the dark knight returned his gaze.
"How long have you two been going at this? You were incredibly in sync, techniques, anticipation and exceptional team chemistry...I'd even go off on a limb and say this has gone on for months. Gotta say, I'm a bit jealous."
It didn't surprise him the cape crusader gave no reply, or showed any intent of doing so. Vampire Bat took the initiative stepping forward.
"No training, in fact this is only about the third time we've fought side by side," Moka playfully elbowed Batman's side. "Guess you could say we gel perfectly, like peanut butter and jelly."
The vampire grinned whilst Batman maintained a blank expression. Her smile didn't last long however and replacing it was wide eyes, biting down at her lower lip.
"What is it?" Batman inquired, picking up on the change.
Without a word she took off and both masked heroes followed, but her trip a short one. She came to a stop in a nearby alley.
"Vampire Bat, what's wrong?" Batman called out to her.
She didn't answer and instead looked around in all directions, fists clinched and if Nightwing had to guess it almost looked as though she'd seen a ghost. The silence didn't last for long, someone clapping from up high. Vampire Bat was the first to notice the figure standing over the ledge of a building, followed by Nightwing and Batman, but there were two. The moon's light gave a clear view of each, Batman clutching his fists, and Moka biting at her tongue. Nightwing however didn't share their intensity, taking one step forward and whistling.
"Smokin! Is it just me, or did the temperature just sky rocket?" Nightwing looked between the two standing above them.
Too his surprise Batman and Vampire Bat remained intense, staring down the ones above. The first had long green hair and eyes, wore a sleeveless black bustier top adorned with white feathers and small heart cut out of the midriff, purple nylons decorated with bat patterns, black boots and bat like wings extending from her back and the sides of her head. And beside her was a woman with long blue hair, her legs and arms covered by white fur, cat ears, paws for her hands and feet and long white tail.
"Knew I detected monster auras," Vampire Bat tightened her fists.
"Aensland!" Batman grimaced.
"Aensland?" Nightwing looked to Batman, the uncertainty clear in his expression.
"Morrigan Aensland...she's a succubus," Batman replied.
Neither Moka nor Batman had seen the woman opposite of the succubi, but was obvious they worked hand in hand.
"Hello sweetie, happy to see me?" the succubi's eyes fell over Batman.
The dark knight glared and didn't speak.
"Sweetie," Nightwing looked to the cape crusader with curious eyes. "Just what is your relationship with this woman?"
"Don't be fooled by her appearance or tone, she's an enemy that wants me dead. Succubi's specialize in seduction and use it to get what they want, a true weapon of deception. She's already devoured the souls of men, each of which didn't survive."
"You're hurting my feelings," Morrigan moped, sticking out her lower lip and leaned forward. "Oh Please, those horn dogs weren't contributing too society, Gotham is better off without them."
"And without me, according to your logic," Batman frowned.
"Whenever did I say I wanted you dead, how else would I exercise my appetite. We're like two birds from the same nest, and I do believe time itself froze the first we set eyes on one another."
Nightwing's eyes immediately fell over the dark knight once more.
"You sure boss? I think she likes you," the masked hero laughed. "But honestly, you sure do know how to attract the pretties and deadliest of them."
"Who's your friend bat," Morrigan eyed Nightwing, licking at her lips. "He's kinda cute."
Not in the least amused by her gesture or provocative smirk, Batman clinched his fist and reached for his grapple gun.
"They're one of Yoshii Kiria's underlings, right? Then let's skip passed the chit chat and take them down!"
Vampire Bat took off with a running start and kicked off the adjacent walls, swiftly making her way upward and in seconds soaring downward atop the succubus and cat woman.
"Felicia dear," Morrigan snapped a finger.
"Yes," the cat woman replied knowingly.
Using the strength in her legs, Felicia blasted upward wrapping her legs around Moka midair, and with the strength in her lower body, slammed Vampire Bat head first into the roof of the building. Fully aware of the situation both heroes took to the roof using grapple guns. The cape crusader and Nightwing touched down over the roof, and Felicia instantly flipped back, jumping into a fighting stance beside the succubus. Moka forced her head out of the ruble, having only sustained minimal damage.
"Morrigan, do we really have to do this...I don't want to fight. Can't we just run away or something, I mean they aren't bad pe..." the cat woman lost her train of thought as the cape crusader came into view a couple feet away. "Hi Batman! We watched you fight from up here, and it was so cool!"
Felicia waved as Morrigan bit at her tongue, Nightwing raising an eyebrow and Moka's mouth dropping open. The dark knight however didn't flinch, his expression blank without reaction. The succubus let out a sigh and almost wanted to face palm, but she instead wrapped a reassuring arm around her colleague.
"No one cares, Felicia," Morrigan said softly.
For the cat woman, seeing Batman up close was similar to meeting a household celebrity. Yokai and monsters alike looked up to the JLA, the band of super beings the closes thing they could relate to and unlike a handful of humans, the league didn't alienate their kind. The dark knight wasn't one of its most active members through the public eye, but his efforts behind the scenes were well documented.
"You picked a fight with the wrong vampire, kitty cat," Moka cracked her knuckles, giving Felicia a death stare.
"This'll be the perfect opportunity to test our team chemistry, you ready Felicia?" Morrigan ran a hand over her side.
"No," Felicia pulled away from Morrigan, her arms crossed and eyes closed. "I don't wanna fight Batman, he's a good guy...nope, no, not doing it."
Biting down at her lower lip, the succubus couldn't believe her ears and Vampire Bat's eyes broadened. A snicker escaped from Nightwing's lips, looking her up and down.
"Adorable, isn't she?" Nightwing looked to Batman. "You've got quite the small fan club brewing."
The cat woman's eyes shot open, her gaze falling over the masked hero beside Batman.
"Adorable, me?" Felicia pointed to herself, her cheeks turning a cherry red.
The cat woman's tail wagged back and forth and even buried her face into her paws, Morrigan surprised by the action and Vampire Bat shared a similar expression to the succubus.
"Ok then," Nightwing scratched at the side of his head.
"Listen sweetie bun, all you have to do is keep those two occupied while I have some one on one time with my lover."
"I'm not your lover," Batman stepped forward.
The succubus chuckled.
"Deny it if you will, we'll soon make beautiful music together, from sun down to sunrise. No king is complete without his queen, wouldn't you say?"
"I'd say it's time you learned your place!" Vampire Bat took off toward Morrigan.
Only after two steps Moka stopped abruptly, catching an arrow out of the air that soared from her right. She looked the projectile over before looking out in the direction where it originated. Visually it appeared as though no one was present, but her ability to detect monster aura's came into play and she sensed up to four. Nightwing immediately ran up to her side, taking a look at the arrow.
"You ok?"
"Perfect," Vampire Bat's eyes scoured the surrounding buildings.
As expected the hidden persons appeared from the darkest corners of the buildings, each leaping downward and dropping down beside Morrigan and Felicia. There was one in particular Moka recognized.
"Onee-san..." Moka whispered.
The first of the four had long blonde hair, tanned skin and red eyes. Her hair was held back by a tiara and wavy with bangs framing her forehead, dressed in a white dress with snow white gloves and white boots. This woman was Moka's older half-sister, Kahlua Shuzen.
The next was a woman with fair skin standing at 5'9, long purple hair, tied in a ponytail, red eyes, slit pupils, and wore silver lightweight armor. The armor covered her chest, forearms, but her stomach and her upper arms left exposed. Lastly was her silver boots and legs covered by dark stocking, and carried a bow over her right shoulder. She was known as Sasha Kayeda.
Beside her was a woman with brown/tan skin at 5'7, red eyes with slit pupils, dark green colored hair. She wore a red tunic, hood combo, with brown gladiator boots and two swords sheathed over her back. Her name was Miukei Suzcoo.
And the last stood at 5'9, red eyes with slit pupils, shoulder length blond hair with streaks of red and blue, a black tight body suit of spandex, gold boots, gold chest armor, and gold gauntlets and belt. She carried a single axe, but various other daggers were connected to her belt. Just as the others, she was a warrior of experience and her name, Lailay Izami.
Moka had never before seen a single of the three, but it was clear by their eyes, they were vampires, the thirst for blood blatantly clear within them. As with Vampire Bat, the cape crusader and Nightwing readied themselves for a confrontation. Strangely it appeared as though not only Felicia but the succubus alike were taken off guard by the appearance of the newcomers.
"Who're they?" Morrigan only slightly took her eyes off Batman and CO.
"Reinforcements, I'll explain later. For now, it looks like we've got a problem," Kahlua looked the team of three over.
Moka made certain not to make eye contact with the vampire, and could only hope her older half-sister didn't key in on her demonic aura; if she were to do so, might figure Mokas is the one behind the mask.
"They don't know anything," Morrigan clarified.
"Oh really, then what is this all about?" Kahlua asked.
"Just out to stretch my wings, your presence isn't needed here."
"The dark knight of Gotham," one out of the three stepped forward. "His majesty proclaimed somewhere down the line the bat might interfere, perhaps we should end him now."
Morrigan glared staring at the vampire dressed in gold armor and black under suit.
"And just who the hell are you?"
"Lailay Izami, vampire warrior, previous maid, servant and protector to the great Akasha Bloodriver."
The succubi's eyes widened at the revelation, and without warning Lailay took off at full speed!
"I will have your head dark knight!"
"You're welcome to try," Batman uncovered two batarangs.
Vampire Bat prepared to intervene but Lailay was pulled down from behind and lost hold of her weapon as she tumbled over the surface. Standing over her was Morrigan, a scowl over her face and crossed arms.
"The Batman is mine, and mine alone. You and your little gang can do whatever you want with the others."
Morrigan shoved one boot into the surface and blitzed forward, eluding Moka's attempted kick and grabbing hold of Batman's cape and pulling him off his feet and into the air. Nightwing reached for his grapple gun, but it was kicked out of his grasp. Beside him was Sasha Kayeda, exposing her fangs and attempted biting into him. Nightwing dodged her attempts and whacked her across the face with one of his clubs. Lailay immediately recovered her weapon off the ground and focused her attention on Vampire Bat, Kahlua joining in from behind. A couple buildings over, Morrigan released her hold of Batman who landed swiftly.
"Alone at last," she touched down a couple feet in front of him, licking at her lips.
"Your friend mentioned you were watching us, why?!"
The succubus twirled a strand of hair that fell over the left side of her face.
"Why else, than to see my future mate...or potentially. I knew you'd show up, for obvious reasons."
"You consider stealing the souls of your victims, mating?" Batman glared.
"There's a difference between feeding and mating, sweetheart. I'm open to just about anything when feeding, but I'm picky as they come when choosing a mate. Finding that special one is very easily done through a simple kiss."
"A kiss..." the cape crusader whispered.
"That's right, I love a man that's good with his tongue," Morrigan stuck out her tongue at him.
It was clear by her tone and posture she wasn't entirely serious.
"What brought you to the conclusion I'm the one, from what I've gathered you're out to kill me. That couldn't have been clearer in our first encounter."
"That was merely a game of cat and mouse, I love a little cardio to get me going before jumping right into foreplay. Had it not been for that damned female bat friend of yours, I'd have given you the greatest ride of your life," Morrigan chuckled.
It wasn't something he would consider even in a thousand years, but kept the conversation going. He wanted to keep her talking, and maybe if she grew comfortable might give answers to questions he had. With that in mind, he decided it best to continue feeding her ego.
"And if I'm not the one?"
"Oh I'm sure I could think of something, a personal slave perhaps, one that runs important errands and keeps me physically satisfied," Morrigan suggestively ran a hand over the area of her crotch. "Know what I mean?"
"No, I don't."
Seeing as her guard was lowered Batman dropped down two smoke bombs, and with her vision hindered he leaped off the ledge eying Nightwing and Vampire Bat in a Two Vs three fight. Felicia remained off to the side and strangely enough so too did the vampire wearing the red tunic. Just as he closed in on the roof Batman was caught out of the air from behind and planted into the roof's surface.
"Did you think such an amateur tactic would hold me off?"
The succubus repositioned atop him and held him down firmly. Nightwing picked up on the activity, but had his hands full so was unable to help.
"Well, well where have we seen this? It always seems to end with me on top, yet that's just the way you like it, you act all tough and mighty, but deep down you want to be dominated. I shall grant that wish, in fact how's about I do it while your friends watch? That would be so hot!"
"Get off him!"
A voice echoed from up high and Morrigan only gazed up at the last instant as a staff whacked her across the face! It was just what the dark knight needed, kicking out of her grasp and rolling up to his feet. To his left stood an individual in red armor with green as a secondary color, a mask similar to Nightwing's, a double R over his chest, black cape and yellow on the inside.
"Red Robin," Batman said.
"Looks like I made it just in time, you gonna feel me iooooooohhhh..."
The masked hero was cut off as Morrigan extended a wing and knocked him off his feet, but with his staff in hand Red Robin maintained his balance only sliding a couple yards away.
"You brat!" Morrigan hissed.
Red Robin spun his staff around charging the succubus, but Batman immediately jumped in the way, blocking his path.
"Don't approach her!"
Morrigan threw out a kick intended for the dark knight's ally, but instead connected with Batman's backside! The force of the attack sent him forward and into Red Robin, both dropping over the surface. They rolled away from each other and quickly jumped back to their feet, Red Robin looking to Batman from the corner of his eye.
"Who is she?"
"His lover," the succubus blurted out, throwing her hair back.
Red Robin's eyes widened at the proclamation.
"She's a succubi, with the ability to take men under her control and steal away their souls. Don't be fooled by her manner or appearance, she's dangerous," Batman added.
Hearing what he did, Red Robin tightened his grip over his staff and especially looked over the wings extending from her head and body. He gulped as his throat went dry and the succubus let out a snicker, perceiving and enjoying every bit of the terrified look in the young hero's eyes. His and her attention were quickly redirected at a loud thump, Nightwing dropped to the ground and standing over him was Moka's older half-sister.
"Why're you crying?" Nightwing raised questioned.
"Get away from her!" Vampire Bat shouted.
Moka knew exactly what it meant and quickly powered passed her opponent and ran to the downed hero's side! In one kick she forced Kahlua back the other way and into Sasha, both vampire's tumbling to the ground over one another. With one arm extended, Vampire Bat took Nightwing's hand into hers and helped him up. Looking things over, they were outnumbered, and with minimal knowledge of each enemy the decision was easy for him.
"Retreat!" Batman threw down a number of smoke canisters.
The atmosphere all around became clouded, hindering everyone's sight, some coughing. When the smoky environment cleared the succubus cursed under her breath, up, down, left, right; no matter which direction she looked, they were gone.
"Why didn't you two fight?!" Lailay snapped, looking to Felicia and Miukei.
The cat woman fiddled with her fingers and didn't give eye contact, whilst the vampire stared at the ground.
"It's no big deal," the succubus moved away from the ledge. "Batman and his crew know nothing and even if they did, finding them wouldn't be too difficult. Let's head back to base, and then I'd like to hear about these new recruits."
Morrigan looked back and forth between the three vampires and Kahlua nodded.
"Akasha-sama has already been notified of their arrival and according to her servants, she awaits us," Kahlua informed.
"Then we should get going and by the way, how'd you find us?" Morrigan inquired.
"Unimportant," Kahlua replied.

As expected, the pink haired vampire awaited them through the front entrance, still dressed in her work uniform. Her eyes lit up falling over the three vampires, almost feeling tears form in them. Each of the three stepped forward, kneeling at the feet of Akasha, one of which was similar to the dark lord, emotions surfacing over her facade.
"Madam, it's...it's been too long."
She looked up into the dark lord's green eyes and for a moment felt her heart stop, so much power and authority in just a simple glance. In a simple gesture Akasha signaled for the three to stand, Morrigan, Felicia and Kahlua watching with interest. The Shuzen vampire knew of their names, but had not yet been given a real scoop of their passed other than sharing history with the dark lord.
"Sasha Kayeda, Miukei Suzcoo and Lailay Izami...I thought certain we'd never meet again, this is a pleasant surprise. How long has it been, one hundred, one hundred fifty years?" Akasha asked cheerfully.
"One eighty to be exact, your highness," Miukei smirked.
With narrowed eyes and crossed arms, Morrigan walked forward.
"Sorry to disembark on your little reunion, but who are they?" the succubus questioned.
"The Sevsai Three," Akasha looked to Morrigan. "They were my personal maids and body guards during most my days spent in the yokai realm. Eventually I moved on and left my kingdom in the hands of Lailay, the most seasoned of them, my castle and home, theirs."
"Your castle," Morrigan inquired with enquiring eyes.
"As a dark lord I was given much, but once I set eyes on Issa I pushed much of it aside. It wasn't all for nothing, after all my daughter came of it, my beautiful Moka," Akasha voiced with pride.
"You gave birth!?" Sasha asked.
The pink haired vampire simply nodded, a wide grin on her face.
"There's so much catching up we need to do, I'd love to hear all your stories," the vampire said joyfully.
"You indicated they were not only maids but bodyguards. What does a vampire of your level need hired protection for?" Morrigan questioned.
"I handpicked them myself and I personally trained them. It wasn't that I needed personal protection, but rather I loathed the idea of being alone, they kept me company and I became close with each. Of course my home wasn't without numerous other servants and housekeeping, but none shared a connection with me like these three. Whenever a difficult task presented itself, I could count on them," Akasha smirked.
From the moment they stepped through the door and she set eyes on the dark lord, the vampire held back the urge to embrace her, but she couldn't any longer. Lailay jumped forward, throwing her arms around Akasha and hugging her tightly.
"I've missed you."
"As have I," Akasha wrapped her arms around the vampire.
They stayed that way for a while before Akasha pushed back, looking her long lost subordinate in the eyes.
"What led you all here," her eyes ventured back and forth between them. "How did you find me?"
"Word of your current master and his plans stretched all throughout the yokai realm, and when we heard your name and possible involvement, we had to check it out. Gaining entry and acceptance into the organization wasn't easy, but we made it work and I'm glad that we did," Lailay ran a hand over the side of Akasha's face.
"Two others traveled alongside us, one in which we consider a sister and the other well…he and she are out getting some fresh air but you'll meet them soon enough," Miukei added.
"Who're they?" Akasha asked.
"Vampires. We've always known her and met with him nearly thirty years after your departure, and though perverted, he's proven reliable and he's an exceptional combatant. He too has joined the ranks of his majesty," Miukei informed.
"I see," Akasha murmured.
Overjoyed was an understatement, seeing them again was glamourous and not something she ever considered might happen, especially not out of the blue.
"I've got quite the schedule ahead of me tomorrow, or else I'd stay longer. I will see you all again very soon."
The three vampires bowed as Akasha bypassed them and through the exit. Morrigan couldn't help but smirk, the succubus realizing the playing field became even more interesting.
"You guys just arrived, yes," Felicia positioned her paws together. "So I'm assuming you haven't settled into a room yet? I'd love to show you around and maybe we could play some games."

There was nothing like a good challenge and though his life wasn't on the line, adrenaline kicked in, his body and mind ready for what was set to take place. His eyes ventured from left to right, his head covered by a black and gold biker helmet, and clear visor over his eyes. His uniform was similar in color of the helmet, his hands fitted with gold gloves and tightly gripped his fingers over the staring wheel. He was just as competitive as the next person and didn't like losing, his mind and focus on the event set to take place.
"We welcome those of you who're just now joining us in the booth, the Gotham City Apex CGR race is just about to go underway. We have a total of twelve racers taking part in the event, each of which representing a different corporation and charity. Up first is Atom Claz, second Truld Tech, third Task universal, and in the next vehicle is the representative for Driafigura Corp, then we have Lex Corp, followed by Rocket High, and then we have Wayne Enterprises. But get this, the billionaire CEO himself is behind the wheel, now isn't that something!"
"Yes it is Tom, and it'll be interesting to see how this whole thing plays out."
Inside the booth the sportscasters introduced the remaining vehicles and a short minute later the race was set to kick off. Each racer was ready; their feet at the gas and nerves running high for some. None were more calm and collective than Gotham's prince, he was used to big moments and being in the spotlight, and seeing as the race took place in Gotham it was like home field advantage. In a single bang, a bullet was fired from the barrel of a gun, the race kicking off! Sunset Costro took the early lead, with Truld Tech trailing close behind.
Dozens cheered within the stands, the race set for three laps. All vehicles remained relatively close through the first lap, except for two that fell behind the pack. It wasn't until halfway through the second lap that bumping and skidding took place and just like that one car smashed into another causing it to spin out of control and resulting in a four way car crash, one of which flipped on its side and another on the hood! Security and medical personnel quickly raced to the crash site off course. The race continued into the final lap, in which attendants within the stands rose, cheering on their faction of choice but most of the screams and hollers were directed at a specific vehicle.
It was a three way tie up front with numerous other vehicles scattered all around behind. The shouting and screams grew louder as the three vehicles zoomed in around the corner and were approaching the final forty yards, Wayne Enterprises, Lex Corp and Driafigura Corp were in a tight one. The driver to Lex Corp held outside leverage and intentionally rammed into the driver of Driafigura, who in turn plummeted into Bruce. All three vehicles spun out of control and the driver of Driafigura Corp flipped over numerous times with the vehicle on fire, both Wayne Enterprises and Lex Corp regaining control as the crowds erupted! Jumping and screaming at the tops of their lungs, some felt they might have a heart attack! And by half of the vehicle Bruce crossed the finish line first and the audiences were electric. His vehicle soon came to a stop as the remaining vehicles in the race crossed.
Exhaling deeply, Bruce stepped out of the vehicle removing his helmet and waving to the crowds. During it all his eyes fell over the vehicle representing Driafigura Corp and his eyes narrowed as the driver's side of the door was forced open. The racer was dressed in purple biker gear, with gray as a secondary, purple helmet and black visor, but it was the long pink hair hanging out from back that captivated his focus. And with a quick tug the helmet was removed and she threw her hair back.
"Akasha!"
He instantly took off in that direction calling out to her and the vampire looked to him with a grin. The security people surrounded the vehicle and put out the flames.
"What were you doing taking part in something like this," Bruce slowed up his strides coming to a stop in front of her. "Are you ok?"
"What sort of question is that, of course I am. There's more to me than you know, I've lived a really long time, remember," she said happily.
"Apparently," Bruce scratched at the side of his hair and smiled.
A moment of silence followed as they stared at each other and a giggle from the vampire ended that.
"The victory ceremony will begin shortly, you should get going. Your driving skills are amazing, I'm surprised I kept up, guess that puts us at one and one," Akasha trailed a gloved finger over the side of his face.
"One and one?" Bruce questioned with a raised eyebrow.
She didn't respond and instead took off in the direction opposite of him holding the helmet at her side.
In uptown Gotham a woman walked just outside a shopping center with dozens of eyes staring. She was used to such attention so it didn't bother her and went about her own business. The atmosphere was wonderful, the sun shining bright and only a couple clouds scattered here and there. As agreed upon he awaited her at the park bench, his gaze over the ground gaping at the chirping birds. Since last night she couldn't stop thinking about him, the batman and his allies. Once the smoke grenade was dropped they retreated and they were never to be seen from then. The dark knight had taken her to his fortress, so that counted for something and though not completely in the loop things were headed that way.
That was one thing, but what she really wanted answered was the identities of the three vampires supposedly sharing history with her mother. The quickest way to find out would be through Akasha directly, but Moke wasn't ready to stand in front of and face the dark lord. She'd eventually get over what happened and move on and it would have to be soon. With Batman in play neither she nor Tsukune needed to rely on Akasha for information however, the dark knight plenty knowledgeable and no one better at obtaining information. The birds took off flying as she came within ten yards and Tsukune's gaze deadlock with her own.
"Tsukune."
"Moka-san," Tsukune whispered.
She was dressed in a whit sleeveless shirt, purple skirt and black boots. Tsukune wore black shorts, a light green shirt and tennis shoes. The female vampire let out a sigh taking a seat beside the man she loved, regardless of what happened between them that would never change. She only wished she had the proper words to express herself, but showing emotion and being all lovey dovey just wasn't her one her thing. All vampires held a margin of pride, and hers kept her from expressing certain emotions, conceding to defeat or even admitting when she was wrong.
"Moka-san," Tsukune glimpsed at the female vampire. "I'm sorry about ev…"
"Don't," Moka looked him in the eyes. "You've apologized enough, I get it and it's time we move on. What's happening here is a whole lot bigger than us all."
He couldn't say for certain but based on her tone, he felt as though she had information.
"I know why Yoshii Kiria chose here, this city…well sort of."
"You do?!" Tsukune almost jumped up.
Moka thought long and hard before she spoke, knowing there were certain details best left out. Revealing her involvement with the dark knight would lead to many questions and Tsukune might think her crazy if he knew of the whole Vampire Bat gig. Even so, it was difficult to divulge certain details without giving it all away.
"Yes, there's some sort of hidden gateway and it cannot open until eight different keys are collected. I don't know what the purpose of this gateway is, or why I'm supposedly needed but it is why Gotham was chosen."
Moka gazed into Tsukune's rose colored eyes as he did the same and she could see the disbelief in them.
"You don't believe me?"
"No it's not that," Tsukune looked away from her. "It's just, how on earth did you come to such a conclusion? Does it have to do with Akasha-sa…"
"No!" Moka snapped.
Tsukune instantly bit at his tongue, realizing his mistake of bringing up her mother's name. It was clear she had not yet fully gotten over what happened that night and he couldn't blame her.
"Mother has nothing to do with this," Moka took a deep breath and knew she had a decision to make. Keeping secrets from Tsukune, Gin and Kurumu wouldn't help their situation. Singular details could be left out for the time being, but not one of such significance. "Batman, Tsukune…it was him."
"Batman!" Tsukune said.
Moka simply nodded and took a deep breath.
"I'll explain everything," Moka stood from the bench, extending an arm and taking Tsukune's hand into her own. Feeling her touch like that brought about a feeling of butterflies, a reminder of how much he deeply cared and loved her. "But not here."
She pulled him upright and the two stood.
"Gin and Kurumu-chan will need to hear this as well, where are they?" Moka's gaze fell upon him once more.

Finishing the last of what remained of his meal, he pushed the plate aside and stared into the flames of a candle in between them. For a moment he even got sucked in, his mind afloat but came back to reality after hearing her voice.
"Todd...Todd, are you ok?"
The CEO of Driafigura Corp shook himself out of the unforeseen daze and made eye contact with the beautiful woman opposite him. His initial intention was to use her, Alliya being his best chance to crack a deal with Gotham's finest. Unfortunately it had not yet happened, but he wouldn't give out hope and the super model had proven to be not only great company, but just as good in bed. When he found out she and Bruce had not yet slept with each other, he was shocked and realized just what Gotham's prince was missing out on. A grin crept onto the right side of his lips and pushed out from his chair.
"I'm quite fine gorgeous," he stood from the chair and walked around the table. "Dinner was great, I expected nothing less from you. However, there is nothing more satisfying than the after party if you know what I mean."
She took a sip out of the half empty glass, and shivered at his lips touching down over her shoulder. Little by little he planted little kisses, making his way up and over her neck.
"How did the event play out this afternoon?" she inquired in between moans.
"Try and guess," Todd trailed his lips over her neck.
Based on his tone, it was clear things didn't play out as he envisioned.
"I'm sorry."
"It's no big deal, after all it was a win, win, every faction involved aimed for a good cause, but you'll never guess who was behind the wheel for Wayne Enterprises."
Alliya's eyes shot open and she immediately repositioned looking Todd in the face.
"You aren't serious!"
"Gotta give Wayne credit, I had no idea he had such a hidden talent," Todd leaned forward grabbing at her chin. "But enough about that, all this talk about the race would surely kill the mood, and we can't have that."
Both smiled and shared a kiss as Todd pulled Alliya out of the chair.
"Bedroom's upstairs," Alliya whispered.
Todd's eyes however fell over the fireplace in the living room, a truly romantic scene if he had to say and too Alliya's surprise he lifted her off her feet and carried her that way. Forced onto her back and against the carpet, Todd pressed his lips against hers and kissed her roughly as she did the same back.
"But this works too," she whispered.
Looking her over, Todd could hardly contain his desire to ravish her body and listen to her screams. She remained on her back as he removed his shirt and unbuckled his pants before pulling her up and helping Alliya remove her shirt from over her head. Little by little they removed each other's clothing until there was nothing left to be removed. Todd glimpsed in awe, inspecting every detail of her body and though he'd seen it before it wasn't any less fascinating. Todd lowered his arms and took hold of her breasts, pinching and squeezing at them gently.
Alliya kissed at him and Todd accepted the invitation lowering his head and taking her left breast into his mouth. He sucked and bit at it lightly and as a result she groaned, burying her fingernails into the side of his arms. As he worked his mouth over her breast, Todd reached down positioning a hand between her legs and massaging two fingers over her already wet entrance, the action sending shockwaves up her back.
Out front a black vehicle pulled up and a lone individual stepped out. He was dressed in a brown long sleeve shirt with collar, blue jeans and carried a bouquet of flowers. The call up was a bit sudden, and strange coming from Alliya, but he liked it. Up the main steps and to the front door he extended his hand to ring the doorbell but then noticed something from the corner of his eye. It was a familiar purple vehicle, one in which he'd seen on numerous occasions.
"Todd Heinstan..." he thought silently.
Observation and deduction were two of his greatest assets. The vehicle was one thing, but his ears picked up on something else. It sounded much like groans and moans, but he couldn't say for certain. Curious as to what and where the sounds came from, he stepped away from the door and tried peeking through a nearby window, but the blinds blocked any potential view. Instead he walked around the right side of the residence where the sounds were loudest, two windows in plain view. Slowly walking over the rocky surface he looked through the first of the windows and his eyes shot open, biting at his tongue. Bruce watched in disbelief, but it was clear what went on and who each of the participants were! They went at it like wild animals, Alliya's fingers clawing away at Todd's back as he pounded away inside her womb. In one step back he lost hold of the bouquet of flowers, the glass shattering upon contact with the surface. He was so much in shock couldn't think straight, but quickly shook himself back to reality.
Taking a deep breath, Bruce stepped away from the window and walked back out front. Something wasn't right about the whole circumstance, why set up a dinner meet only to be engaging in sexual intercourse with another man! Confronting her could wait, the last thing he wanted was creating a scene. Their relationship was doomed from the start given his chaotic life style, but it was clearer than ever.
"We're done..." he whispered, uncovering his keys from his left pocket.
Part of him would miss her. Though they hadn't been intimate, her presence lifted a weight off his shoulders and made him feel at ease. Her proposal that he reconsider Todd's offer made a whole lot more sense now than it did a day ago. Into his vehicle, Bruce started the engine and took off as fast he could. Little did he know, someone watched the entire scene unfold from afar and she couldn't help but feel a sense of victory.

With the collected files abstracted, a clearer picture of what the enemy plotted was unraveling piece by piece. Crucial details were still unknown but would do everything in his power to uncover those specs, being two steps ahead of the enemy was his goal. He looked over the large computer screen, inspecting one file after another. Bruce was dressed in a light blue shirt with collar and blue jeans.
Aside from that, Black Mask had been apprehended and in police custody. That left Penguin and the Joker as the primary criminal presence in town and Twoface as a moderate threat, but he had yet to surface. Between the gang war and the rising of this unknown enemy, it was almost a blessing in disguise Nightwing and Red Robin showed up in town when they did. If it weren't for the spirit training following his unforeseen collapse, things might have been different. If he had it his way they would never have been included, not until after he knew what they were fully up against. His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps, Bruce resituating in the chair looking over his shoulder.
"Good morning sir, how goes the research?"
"It's going," his eyes returned to the screen.
"Sorry to interrupt, but there's someone here to see you."
"Tell them I'm not around," Bruce replied.
The butler coughed, adjusting the tie over his shirt.
"It simply cannot wait."
"It'll have to," Bruce shot back.
"Then perhaps you should tell her yourself," Alfred frowned.
With a raised eyebrow Bruce spun around in the chair.
"Her?" he questioned with curious eyes.
Letting out a sigh, Alfred faced the opposite way and walked toward the steps.
"Right this way sir."
Bruce immediately took a stand and followed after Alfred, and part of him questioned if somehow Alliya was aware of what he saw last night. He still couldn't wrap his mind around the idea she invited him over, only to be having sex with another man. In no time both men emerged from a hidden wall and stepped into the manor and Alfred led them clear to the opposite side of the residence. As they drew close, Bruce gazed out a window and sitting there wasn't who he expected. She was dressed in a gray robe, straw hat and dark shades over her eyes.
"What is she doing here?" Bruce looked to Alfred.
"I'm sorry sir, I tried insisting she set up a meeting but she was persistent and had a strange way of, you see..."
"It's ok Alfred," Bruce patted his butler over the shoulder. "I'll take care of this."
Bruce straightened his posture and pushed open the sliding as the massive pool and Jacuzzi came into view, the woman sitting off to the side beneath a table shielded by an umbrella. Down the steps and across the brick surface Bruce walked toward her, and the woman lowered the shades from her eyes as he came into view and set them aside.
"Hello handsome," she grinned.
"I don't recall inviting you here?"
His tone was opposite of what she expected and so to was his demeanor. She was certain he'd come off as forceful and demand she leave, but his tone came off as caring.
"Are you busy?"
"I am, actually. But I doubt you would come all the way here for nothing," Bruce pulled up a chair, sitting across from her. "Talk."
Alfred observed the two from inside the manor and exhaled, it appeared as though Bruce had everything under control and he could now breathe easy. When the doorbell rang and found it was the vampire standing on the other side of the door, his heart almost stopped and taking into account what he knew, it wasn't farfetched. She knew of Batman's identity and neither he nor Bruce could say for certain what she might do with that info. Without worry Alfred took off down the hall and into the kitchen.
"You don't know me at all," the vampire giggled, reaching forward and resting her hands over his knees. "For once you need to let loose, breathe and not carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. You're way too tense."
"Get to the point," Bruce frowned.
"Get to the point, get to the point," Akasha mocked. "Please don't be that way, not with me. You need to stop that."
"And you're dodging the point, I'm so surprised," he derided.
"What if there isn't a point?"
Bruce pushed up and away from her.
"This is a waste of time, let yourself out whenever."
He faced the opposite way and took only two steps before the vampire took hold of his wrist.
"Ok, ok, there is a reason I'm here."
The vampire released her hold of him as he faced her, and threw the hat off to the side. A red bow was tied in her hair.
"Let's hear it."
"Sure, but not like this," the dark lord stepped back and untied the belt over the robe.
She allowed the clothing to fall off her shoulders and his expression was every bit rewarding, the vampire blushing somewhat. She kicked off her boots throwing her head back as she did. His eyes surveyed her body from head to toe, she had it all, a body which could only be compared to a goddess. Akasha wore a two piece bathing suit in the color of red, with white polka dots.
"You like?" she asked bashfully.
Bruce wanted to respond but found he had a difficult time getting his words out, and the vampire snickered as a result.
"What...what are you doing?" he finally managed to say.
"Going for a dip, as are you," she smiled.
"Excuse me?" Bruce raised an eyebrow.
Akasha reached down and recovered a plastic bag from the side pocket of the robe and took Bruce's hand into her own. He hadn't a clue what she was up to, but just decided to go along with it. She stopped short of the Jacuzzi and tore open the plastic bag and dropped the contents of what were inside into the hot tub. He looked at the plant like shapes and figured them to be herbs, and from then he had a pretty good idea of what she had in mind.
"Is this necessary?"
"Sure it is," she looked up at him. "That is of course if you want to hear what I have to say."
"I'm not properly dressed," Bruce countered.
"Of course you are," Akasha positioned in front of him. "This'll do."
She ran her fingers over his shirt and he made no attempt to stop her. Akasha unbuttoned his shirt, revealing not only his muscular physique but his scars alike. She trailed her fingers over his chest and then downward over his abs and diverse scars, each of which telling a different story. A knife, baseball bat, crowbar, bullet wound, etc. The scars represented his hardships and mission to protect Gotham and she couldn't help but be turned on by them. Bruce removed the shirt from his body, giving the vampire a complete view. She positioned her hands over his shoulders and then downward over his biceps and triceps, a grin forming over her lips.
"You're so strong, you really do keep in shape," Akasha complimented.
He quickly stripped down to his boxer briefs and by then Akasha had already stepped into the hot tub, her body adjusting to the change in temperature almost instantly and it was soothing.
"You can remove those too, if you like," the vampire teased, her eyes falling over his underwear.
"You first," Bruce grinned.
"All you had to do was ask," she said jokingly.
In most situations with most others he would have taken control of the situation but he remained patient.
"We're in, I've done as you asked, now what did you want to convey?"
She took a seat and situated her back against the wall and waved her hand through the bubbles.
"It feels so good, and it's such a lovely morning," the vampire looked to the sky.
"You love changing the subject, don't you?" Bruce sat beside her.
The vampire moved in beside him and dropped her head over his shoulder, Bruce not expecting the action.
"Isn't this nice," the vampire whispered. "Right now, this moment, no strain...it's so relaxing, and to share it with someone makes it all the more worthwhile."
"Yes it is, but I don't have all day. I've played along and did as you've asked up till now so..."
The vampire silenced him with a finger to the lips.
"You're missing the point."
"What point?"
"You'll just have to figure it out mister detective," the vampire ran a finger over his chest.
He was right on the line of snapping but continued to hold his cool, a part of him enjoying the moment for what it was. Akasha resituated, wrapping both her legs around his leg closes to her body and leaned against him. Bruce bit at his tongue again taken off guard, but felt at ease. He hadn't any clue if her goal was to seduce him, or something else entirely but felt in control, whether she led things or not. Seeing as he didn't budge or reject her advances the vampire pushed things further. With one hand over his chest she trailed one foot down his leg and rubbed the sole of her foot atop his. It was clear what she aimed for and so he quickly pulled away and stood, his back against the wall of the tub.
"What's the matter," Akasha took a stand as well. "Did I make you uncomfortable?"
It didn't take rocket science or even the world's greatest detective to figure how much she enjoyed having full control, but he would soon relinquish that control if things continued the way that they did.
"Enough games, say what you need to say or I walk you to the front door and you're gone," Bruce glared.
"You're no fun," the vampire sulked.
"Fun and games will get one killed in my line of business, now talk!" Bruce's tone shifted.
"Ooohhh, did I just awaken the big bad wolf, oh my," Akasha chuckled.
The vampire slowly positioned herself in front of him, but facing the opposite direction and leaned with her back against his chest. She gazed over her shoulder and up at him, massaging the side of her face against his. Reaching back, the vampire dropped her hands over both sides of his thigh and firmly pressed her lower body against his own. Her next move was more surprising than any before and sent electricity through his entire being, the vampire moving her hips up and down and in a circular motion, grinding her bottom against his crotch! His eyes widened and fists squeezed together. She was so soft and precise, clearly overly experienced on how to get a man's blood flowing, Bruce's body instantly reacting to her movement. The vampire could hardly believe he didn't stop her right away, and had it been just a couple days ago he would have.
"Hhhhmm, you carrying a batarang in your briefs or is that something else poking at my tooshie?" the vampire giggled, looking up at him over her shoulder.
Never before had someone controlled him in a way like she did and yet in some crazy twisted way he enjoyed most of what she did! In just a couple moves she brought about unbelievable pleasure, leaving his member erected. She had gone too far and he knew things couldn't go further.
"Master Bruce I brought..."
Alfred went silent, not expecting to see the two of them so close and in such a suggestive position.
"Alfred," Bruce voiced, moving away from the vampire. "This isn't what it looks like."
The butler coughed clearing his throat.
"Yes, yes of course sir. I thought you and your guest might enjoy some refreshments, so I took the liberty of preparing some ice lemonade," Alfred set the tray down just outside of the tub and two towels beside it. "I'll be inside tidying if you need anything."
"Thanks, Alfred," Bruce said.
He nodded and took off, and with his back to them he smiled as he disappeared through the sliding door. When the time came Bruce knew he had some explaining to do and could only imagine what Alfred might be thinking. Akasha pulled one of the glasses off the tray and drank all of what was in the glass in one go.
"I think I'd like it here, Alfred is graceful," she returned the glass to the tray.
"What was that?!" Bruce grimaced.
"You still haven't gotten the point to all this, have you? Oh well, guess I'll just explain it. You're on a path that'll lead to loneliness, do you really want that? You refuse to open up to people because of the life you lead, probably for the fear of losing them."
"What're you trying to say?"
Akasha walked forward and stopped in front of him, her lips just below his ears.
"I'm available Bruce…that is all."
The next thing he knew the vampire pierced her fangs into his neck and sucked at his blood. It was seemingly becoming a reoccurring action, and she had a way of getting him to lower his guard.
"Thanks, that was refreshing," she pulled back licking at her lips.
The vampire stepped out of the Jacuzzi and recovered something out of her robe several yards away. It was a small object, one in which that took on the shape of a flash drive. She dropped it over the tray.
"This is the main reason I came."
"What's on it?" Bruce inquired.
"Information, important info that'll aid you in your quest," Akasha replied.
"I thought you weren't taking my side."
The dark lord chose not to reply and instead dried off with one of the towels, recovering her belongings and headed for the exit. As she reached the top step, Akasha glimpsed over her shoulder and blew him a kiss before stepping through. For a couple seconds Bruce stayed still, but then took the flash drive into hand. Just what sort of information did she pass on was the question. Through the main lobby and out the front door the vampire smiled the entire way, victory was hers. She eliminated the competition and reeled in her prize. She was gaining his trust and the knight was nearly at the ledge and once pulled off, it was game over.
