Darkness

Inspired song- Rob Zombie "Super beast"

She entered her room and look into the mirror (I wonder if these pants make my butt look big?) she looked at herself in the mirror (They do) Mira tried to pull down the jacket but the jacket was denim and went to her waist (Damn.) "Hello," Red said knocking on the door. "Yeah, I'm here hold up," Mira said opening the door, "Oh, its you, still wanna break my legs?" Mira said in a matter-o-fact voice. "About that listen, I'm sorry, I was being ass at the time, can you forgive me," Red said. "Well..." Mira toyed, "Okay." (Since you're so cute). "Wanna come in," Mira opened the door wider he came in. Mira sat in the middle of her bed Red sat in front of her. "Um, I'm guessing you both have some history, mind telling what happened?"

"It all started two years ago," he said, "Had a gang, I still do, hopefully, my hair was longer and I was the top student in my tae kwon do class, on the weekends or on my spare time me and the gang would challenge suckers into a fight, we gave them the impression that we sucked. But in the end we ended up with the money in our pockets. We were kings of the neighborhood, even though Baek my teacher wasn't too fond of what I was doing, I still kept doing it, until a fateful Saturday night I guy challenged me, that guy was Jin, I knew who he was grandson of Heihachi Mishima the really rich guy from Japan. So I was going to kick some pretty rich boy's ass and getting big bucks for it, it was a sweet deal, but when I fought him. I underestimated him he was okay with his leg movement, but that asshole can pack some mean punches after a few minutes later I had a fat lip, my ribs hurt like hell, my jeans were torn and burnt a little, to top it off I had a broken arm. As for Jin he was bleeding from his head, I broke his right leg, and he also had a fat lip. Both sides called it a draw I wasn't ready to give up, if I was going to lose it was going to be when I got knocked out, but he simply just left. I went crazy it took my whole gang to hold me down from going psycho, and during that time," he said.

"What?" Mira asked. "Baek got killed," Red said slowly. "Sorry to hear that, what happened?" Mira had a funny feeling about what he was about to say. "Some monster called the Toshin killed him," Red told her not knowing if she would believe him. Mira for some reason got a nostalgic feeling from that name, "That sums it up though," she said getting back to the subject. "Yeah, but I have to ask you something," Red said. "Yeah, what is it," Mira said stretching a little. "Are you on his side or mine," Red wanted an answer. "Come on man! Not this again! Look, to be honest I don't really care about that okay; I mean why do you put on the spot like that? And Jin didn't really give a shit about you," Mira said, "Sorry it's just the way I feel dude." Red look at her in an odd way, "Dude? I never heard a girl talk to me like that."

"It's the way we talk where I come from," Mira said in a know it all voice while talking off her jacket Red notice the gun at her side he didn't mention it's presence. (What kind of a girl would carry a gun? Is she a cop? I saw her hanging out with that other cop; I'll do some investigating later..) Mira knew he was getting suspicious she smiled (You know about my gun, okay I'll show it to you..) "Check this out," Mira pulled her gun out, "9mm nice huh?"

"Where'd you get it?" Red was inspecting the gun. "I got connections," Mira said putting tucked the gun back, "But, don't tell any one okay, or.." as fast as she could Mira flashed her gun and pointed at his crotch. "Whoa! Okay! I won't tell any one promise, just put that thing away!" He said jumping up surprised and a bit nervous. Mira started to laugh really hard and put the gun back, "I was just kidding! You really think I would.." she kept laughing harder. "Hey, when it's about down there, it matters," Red dismissed the cop idea. She calmed down and sighed, wiping off a tear in her eye, "You're pretty cool for a friend you know, I don't know why Ling hates you so much what happened between you two?"

"Ah, her ass is still angry because I beat her in the last tournament, I remember the day after the match she came bitching at me "You dumb pot head now I'll never have my theme park" blah blah, blah, like if I've been smoking that, well I have when I was 16 but that's a different story," He sat by her. "But it hurt you at the same time didn't it?" Mira said reading his feelings. "What? Oh okay, sure like if I cared? I've had better?" Red crossed his arms. "Really?" Mira raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, a lot better, you?" He had the face of reminiscing. "Me? Damn, it's been a long time since I had a man," Mira said remembering Julio's sexy smiled, "But I always end up alone."

"Why?"

"It's just that, okay every time when I meet a guy it feels really nice, then my work gets in the way, and I start missing out on dates then, they get paranoid they all like "Are you cheating on me?" it's so obvious it's stamped on their foreheads "Horn dog." That's all they can think about like for example there was this guy that I like my friend liked him too. Just last week I saw them making out in a back of a restaurant, the next day I found out he f..got into her pants, it's just," Mira said, "Not fair." She finished with a sigh. "I won't lie to you I do that sometimes to girls," He asked her. "Player," Mira muttered. "Don't hate the player, hate the game," he said wrapping one of his arms around her waist, "Hey you work out?"

"You have exactly 10 seconds to get your hand off of there, boy," Mira said while Red tightened his grasp. "And, I'll be sure to cherish every one of them," he gave her a grin. "All right then, 1.." she her muscles tighten, "10!" she whirled around caught his wrist and pushed it to his back pinning him on the bed and placed her knee on his tail bone. Red gasped out in pain "That outta teach you!" she said playfully. "Okay, let me go!" He pleaded. "All right," Mira let go. "Next time I'll be on guard," Red said massaging his wrist. "Sure you will," Mira thought for a moment, "Wait a minute something occurred to me."

"What?" he said scratching the back of his neck. "Nothing," Mira said (You're that solider that they're looking for back in Korea, you crafty bastard. You must have had one helluva job getting out of there.) "So when's you're fight?"

"Friday," he simply answered, "I saw the girl that I'm gonna fight."

"Really, how'd she look like?" Mira was sitting on the bed crossing her legs yoga style and put her hand on her chin. "She has a really nice ass," he started. "Okay, I think I've heard enough," she stopped him. Suddenly she felt a prickly feeling on her back Mira gasped. "What?" Red said. "No, nothing it's just cold in here that's all, I should put my jacket back on," She put her jacket back on 'What do you want?!' Sensing Kazuya presence. 'We have to talk', he responded. 'Well, right now isn't a good time so yeah, go away!' She hissed back at him. "Hello?" Red was looking at her. "Sorry, I was just thinking," Mira said giving him a smile. 'I won't stop, until you follow my orders,' Kazuya threatened. 'You're not the boss of me so back off!' Mira said she was looking down at the floor still getting use to the effects of telepathy. "You okay?" Red asked her. "I got this headache it really killing me know, and it hurts to talk," Mira was rubbing her temples. "Okay, I'll just let you sleep it off or something," He said leaving her suite. 'I'm alone now, what do you want,' Mira said annoyed knowing that he got his way. 'Look out your window,' He told her. 'Nice limo,' she told him. 'Go to it', He ordered her. 'No' she simply responded. 'Do it or I'll send people to get you' Kazuya commanded. Mira was getting furious (Calm down, you'll get a headache, calm down). She pressed her lips together, 'Why, do you want me to go with you!'

'I have no time to explain that, get down here now!' Kazuya thundered. 'NO!' Mira shot back him headache came back with vengeance. Plopped down to her knees she started to rub her temples hoping for the pain to go away. The pain rained through her brain furiously, then it reached its point, release. A sweet relief, Mira was shaken she breathed deeply, and closing her eyes. She started to get up he knees wobbled, she felt odd. Mira pressed her palms against her eyelids and smeared them down her face feeling her cool fingertips along her cheeks and she sighed. (I might as well go. I don't wanna cause a scene.) Mira went to the door, stopped went back to her mattress lifted got her cartridge and put it in her breast pocket (I dunno what that crazy son of a bitch has planned for me.) She headed out. Mira closed the door behind her with her key card and saw both Marshall and Paul getting out of the elevator the way that they smelled suggested that they were training. Mira passed by Paul not exchanging a word with Marshall during that moment Paul stuck his foot out right in front of where Mira was walking. Mira clumsily tried turn but instead violently fell on her back and hitting her head making a loud thud sound. "Here's my chance," the demon said taking possession again. "Paul! What the hell is wrong with you!" Marshall snapped. "Just getting even," Paul simply said put his arms on the back of his head. "Are you all right?" Marshall asked Mira. No answer. She was out. "Oh my god!" Marshall rushed to her, "I think you gave her a concussion!"

"No, I didn't! She'll be fine she just got a conk on her head, no big deal!" Paul was annoyed.

"Her pulse is steady," Marshall, said, "We should get her to a doctor, just to make sure she's okay."

Paul groaned in frustration, "Look we just got back from workin' our asses off I ain't gonna go, if you want to take her then.."

The demon finally came around. "Hey, are you all right," Marshall asked. It smiled "Yes, I'm fine thank you, I need to go," and it left to the elevator pushing to the lobby floor. "Soon, Kazuya we will have our little talk," it said out loud grinning wickedly knowing this would stun Kazuya. The demon found it easy to pretend to be like a man, but for it possessing a woman, and having to act like one, was a burden. The door opened the demon, acted casual and blended in (Where are you? I can sense you..come out, come out where ever you are..) it playfully thought. (There you are waiting for Mira.) The demon looked out from the glass doors where all of the valet parking and saw the limo. It started to walk.

"Sir shall I send in the men now," One of Kazuya's bodyguards asked him in Japanese. Kazuya was about to answer when he felt a cold presence coming his way. He look out the heavily tinted window too his point of view it was Mira, but then he noticed a peculiar thing his eyes moved toward the reflection of a window of a car Mira was passing. And what he saw in that reflection startled him, Kazuya saw the demon mounting over her shoulders and the afternoon sun against Mira's eyes and made them glint red. "Go!" Kazuya told the chauffeur. The chauffeur did what he was told, "Sir the car is not moving!" even though the tires were furiously screeching against the pavement. 'Tch, tch, tch, naughty, naughty, is this the way you treat a lady? Just standing her up like that? Fine be that way I'll find you anyway' it let go and the limo sped away. The demon gave out a deep throaty chuckle and walk off to find him.

None of the guards didn't dare ask, Kazuya what motive caused him to take action like that. He him self didn't know if he should fear or hate the creature. 'It'll find me one way or another, he has that girl under his will, she just a weapon. A powerful one..' he paused for a moment 'If I'm after her, Heihachi will eventually find out about her and use her against me. If I don't get to her first, I wouldn't stand a chance against her, but it's obvious she doesn't know her limit of strength,' he faintly smiled, 'But she has just the kind of power I need.'

The demon was walking through the streets of Tokyo at a fast and steady pace, 'Her tongue isn't use to the dialect here,' it thought, 'I can't fly here it's too populated, ARGH! Idiot girl, after all of these years of waiting patiently for your power to surface after you bluntly shut them down. It doesn't matter that incident in return increased it. When the blood moon is in effect the Mishimas won't be of any concern to me anymore. Expect for Jin, I have plans for him. Good, he's still dwelling on revenge. You on the other hand my dear, are looking for the truth don't worry the time will come on the blood moon' it kept walking until it found the street where the estates and mansions were on. It was a clean long street with streetlights decorating it and high walls of concrete or brick mixed with vines gave the owners their privacy. It started to walk down the street. With each step it took feeling Kazuya's presence closer to it. It finally stopped when it went passed 5 mansions. The demon close it's eyes and saw him in the house waiting. 'Perfect,' the demon formed a thin simile. It leaped over the wall and was immediately encountered some guards they were pulling out their guns when. It flung its arm causing the guard to fly a couple feet in the air and plunging to the ground. Another guard behind it flung a knife at Mira's shoulder blade without even bothering to look, it caught it. "You're too slow," the demon said and flung it furiously at the guard head. Half of the blade was jammed into his skull immediately killing him. The other two guards got up and lunged themselves at it. At midair they paused both of them feeling strangled they both spread apart from each other a couple feet away and the demon made them slam against each other repeatedly until they were but shedding blood from their heads. It slammed them down to the ground. 'More guards are coming,' it considered, 'I don't want to waste my time. If I want to torture people I'll do that in hell not here.' Blasted it's way passed the guards when it reached the door it blasted them away too. "Honey, I'm home," It said out loud then it realized what it just said 'I'm picking up on her characteristics she must be coming around, I better be quick about this. He's in the study.'

It when through the halls walking like if it had already been there finally at the end of one hall stood two grand doors with golden handles two them. Kazuya scent had filled its nostrils the demon took a whiff of his scent then it knew 'Her senses are becoming keener soon..my dear..soon' it threw the doors open. The study was dim on each side of the walls stood tall shelves filled with books. The floor had a Persian rug on it with an unusual design of thorn vines. On right side the tall shelf full of books was less wide than that of the left side because of the fireplace installed in it.

Kazuya was sitting behind the grand dark wood desk, his hands entangled together waiting for it patiently, his eyes narrowed at first site of it. "Should I start or should you?" it finally said with Mira's voice, sounding deeper and hollow. "What do you want from her?" Kazuya asked sitting still. "Her," it answered walking to the middle of the room. Kazuya raised an eyebrow, "It seems to me you're fixated about her."

The door violently slammed together. "I'm not and I know what you're planning to do with her don't even think of putting her in danger. She's too vulnerable, emotionally. I've worked 21 long years for this and I won't let you destroy it all just for revenge."

"I'm guessing she didn't' volunteer for this," Kazuya got up from the chair and stood in front of the demon.

"No, she didn't but I'm slowly getting to her, in the path of a virus, through the blood, soon enough I'll have absolute control of her, and I'll fully enhance her power just like I did to yours, though it was stupid of you to believe those scientist that I was just a gene it's just that just means you're damned," The demon went towards the fireplace it's eyes burned red for a second. The charred wood burst into red flames. "Just a little reminder," it smirked it read Kazuya thoughts, "Yes, Jin does have it, it's hereditary."

"Don't do that," Kazuya growled clutching his fist. "I do what I please, mortal," the demon hissed. "She's coming back I feel her," it breathed deeply, "Before I leave, know this, the a full moon will be in effect next week before the night of that full moon I want you to meet her we will talk then I have something very important in mind."

"What?! What are you.." Kazuya didn't get to finish Mira's head shot up she blinked. Her eyes widened in shock "Where am I?! How did I get here?!" she gasped and grabbed one of the pokers from the fireplace and pointed it at him in a sword like way. "Don't move!" she threatened. Kazuya snatched the poker from her and threw it on the ground. Mira started to back away and pulled out her gun and pointed at his chest her handle on it was shaky. He still kept walking slowly toward Mira. He slowly took possession of the gun on threw it on the floor. Mira bumped on the wall her hands against the cold surface her breathing increased. Kazuya was very close to her she felt her blood flood down to the bottom of her body. She blasted him away rushed to the door and saw the guards coming her direction. "Shit!" Mira hissed and slammed the door Kazuya grabbed her by her wrists. "When did he first come to you!" He thundered. "Who!?" She exclaimed. "You know who I'm talking about!" Kazuya he screamed at her shaking her. "You're hurting me! Let me go God damn it!" Mira had tears streaming down her face. The guards burst through the door, "GET THE FUCK OUT!" Kazuya hollered in Japanese at the guards they immediately closed the doors. Mira growled trying to break away but Kazuya tighten his grasp. "You bitch! Tell me everything! Now!" Kazuya screamed like madman at her.

She spat at his face he slapped her and threw her across the room. She got back up, screeched and tackled him to the floor and started to punch him viciously. Kazuya grabbed hold of her fists and threw her off the gun was only a foot away from Mira she started to reach for it. Kazuya yanked her by her ankle then by the side of her jeans. Mira kept pulling the carpet the gun was getting within her reached. Kazuya got up but not for long Mira tripped him by the ankles and he landed on top of her. Mira pushed him down and got on top of him (I'm going to strangle you know bitch!) she though tightening her grip with both of her hands on his neck. Lightning from around Kazuya shocking Mira she let go on burning the top part of her shirt off. He aimed a fist at her she caught it and his other hand the crimson light had started to flow through her. Lightning flowed through Kazuya also both of their energy was mixing together in an odd aura. Then it hit Mira why she was strong as Kazuya for that moment she was using her telekinetic power. They were pushing against each other for the gun. Mira let go but he didn't "You bastard!" Mira was pulling away as hard as she could he finally let go. Mira got up, lifted her arm and the gun came to her and she pointed at Kazuya. "And this time.." She said breathing hard, "I'll shoot." Her long straight hair flowed down looking messy she took off her jacket with one hand and exchanged it to the other so she can have more flexibility shooting. "Go ahead woman, I have guards at the door," Kazuya hair was also messed up and Mira had ripped some of his shirt off during the ordeal. "I don't give a shit! Now how the fuck did I get here?! Did Paul help you?!" Mira commanded an answer. "Paul Phoenix," Kazuya laughed out, "You think that stupid simple-minded idiot is working for me?! Please, I have a better sense than that."

"Then how did I get here!" Mira screamed in frustration. "You think a C.I.A operative would be more mature," Kazuya said. "Well, wouldn't you be a little shaken if you got knocked out and end up in a psycho's house!" Mira snapped. "I'm not psycho!" Kazuya shot back at her. "You're the one who was screaming at me," Mira voice was calmer now, "Now who is he?!"

Kazuya didn't answer. "Fine," she forced her way through his mind her eyes rolled over and she got the information that she needed. "I know who you're talking about now, and I think I have an idea how I got here," it was starting to fit. "What did it tell you?" she asked Kazuya her voice started to soften. "Nothing," he responded. "You want me to get into your head and pry it out of you or do you want to do this the civilized way?" Mira said getting ready for round 2 of telepathy. "He just told me to get out of his way," Kazuya lied. "That's it?" Mira asked. Kazuya nodded. "Oh," she said quietly Mira started to head for the door. "Wait!" Kazuya said. Mira turned around, "Yes?"

"Did you sell your soul to him?" he asked her. She shook her head softly, "No."

"Then how does he take possession of you?" Kazuya started to get curious. "I don't know, it just happens when I get knocked out or when I'm really tired, it's a really painfully process, it didn't happened that much until I joined the tournament," Mira said tucking her gun back on her pants and looked at her shirt her bra was showing. She walked and grabbed her jacket. They looked at each other Mira looked at her watch it was burnt and frazzled she took it off exposing her scar. "Where did you get that?" Kazuya walked to her, Mira didn't back away. Mira hesitated, "Why would you want to know?"

"Because I know a wound that deep would kill some one," Kazuya looked at her in manner that gave her goose bumps. "I..it's best if you sit down this is kinda of a long story," She said. Mira rubbed her forehead groaned a little, "Do you have any aspirin?"

"No," he plainly said. "Oh.." Mira said and fell to the floor.
