``In This Game of Love and War || Hiroshi!

[rika]

Rika hissed furiously as the slave handlers taunted her from just outside the bars of her cage. Her eyes glared at them with pure hatred as they spat derogatory terms at her and tried to hit her. She had been held in the warehouse for the past week before they had chained her up and brought her to Cyanide to be sold off. She knew that if all went well for her handlers, she would be sold off to her new owner by the end of the night. The mere thought of being paraded in front of the waiting crowd like an animal was enough to rile up her already irritated state. How she loathed the thought of being someone’s slave and treated like a piece of trash. Rika had always been a bit vain, and the thought of such low-class treatment made her stomach lurch. From her early childhood in Barbados to when she’d moved into this city, she was accustomed to being treated in a respectable manner and getting whatever she wanted. So to now be trapped in someone’s cage like a pet made her red with fury.

She had been shifting in her cage for the past hour, anxious for what she knew was about to come. Her fears were confirmed when on of her handlers, a ghastly vampire with hideous looks, moved in front of her cage. [blue]''You’re gonna become someone’s whore tonight, little kitty..''[/blue] he spat to her with a sadistic smirk. Immediately when he opened the door to her cage, she lunged at him only to feel his cold hand grip her neck roughly. [blue]''Now, now little kitty. I wouldn’t want to bruise you before your grand entrance. Be obedient''[/blue] She hissed in his face but complied submissively, well aware that he could easily injure her petite frame. Her made sure her hands were securely handcuffed behind her back before snapping a leash onto her collar and tugging her behind him to the auction platform.

He tugged her roughly onto the platform and she could hear the whoops and hollers emitted from the crowd. She immediately picked up on their auras and could quickly sense the sadistic thoughts and feelings that rushed through them in reaction to her. She felt far more exposed to the lustful eyes in an outfit the handlers had forced her into. She was clad in short shorts that revealed much of her lengthy legs, a red tube top that exposed her stomach and pierced naval, and red stilettos. Her honey colored locks fell down her shoulders in their usual loose curls. She probably would have liked the way her outfit exposed her feminine curves had she not currently been in such a predication. A grimace was upon her face as her handler presented her to the crowd. [blue]''Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you a fine specimen up for bid. This is a young, healthy Neko bitch who would could be a great pleasure to any master. She has a sweet voice and an even sweeter body. Surely she could more then tend to any sexual needs you may have. She’s has yet to be broken in, but I assure you she could be quite obedient with the right..inspiration. We’ll start the bidding at 550.''[/blue] His words made her hiss and writhe slightly. He tugged her leash roughly getting a soft yelp out of her. She obediently stilled herself and watched on helplessly as the bidding for her began.

Hiroshi:

He enters the club and looks around. He was coming from a zanecorp 'business talk', all he wanted to drink but the club was filled with slavers, slaves and their buyers. There was so much sound music blasting, people laughing, people screaming, people yelling numbers and prices out. He was going to leave but heard about a neko that up for sale. Now that I think about it, kitty has been lonley and needs another neko friend. Why not? It would be nice to see that kitty has a friend to play with and do what well...What nekos like to do. Play with yarn balls and stuff who knows? Well they do of course.

''Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you a fine specimen up for bid. This is a young, healthy Neko bitch who would could be a great pleasure to any master. She has a sweet voice and an even sweeter body. Surely she could more then tend to any sexual needs you may have. She’s has yet to be broken in, but I assure you she could be quite obedient with the right..inspiration. We’ll start the bidding at 550.'' The man cried out.

550? No, no that is a bit much for a slave maybe a hundred or maybe even free. "One hundred or I kill you sound fair?" He said gripping hard on his brass knuckles. "This will be a very intresing evening indeed if you decide to decline my offer. Tick tock, whats your choice?"

[rika]

Rika watched on with eyes like daggers as the bidding continued over her. The fact that she was being showcased like cattle was enough to make her wrench even more against the leash attached to her collar. The cat in her was repulsed by the mere thought of being someone’s ‘pet’. She wanted to prowl the night as she usually did, free to jump from rooftop to rooftop. She wanted to hunt mice and other small creatures for the sheer enjoyment of watching them twitch in terror. She wanted to watch the moon like she used to, connecting with the primal part within her that was so attached to the celestial object. But no, she was trapped in the clutches of sick vampires who wee using her to make a profit. The thought made her grimace even more.

Her attention was pulled from her thoughts by male voice offering a price. Her eyes fell upon Hiro with pure hatred in her eyes. She had to admit that he was attractive, but that still didn’t override the fact that he was attempting to buy her. His respond to the handler made her chuckle softly. A bit intimidating was he? Her eyes turned to the handler who obviously was resilient to sell her for such a low price. He opened up his mouth to respond, [blue]''But sir, surely you realize she’s worth far more then that. There are plenty of other customers in this room who would buy this bitch—''[/blue] Before he could continue speaking, Rika spat in his face. She spoke now, her voice sharp and icy, ''Don’t you dare call me that again, asshole!''

The vampire’s face contorted into rage at her action. Her yanked her leash hard until he was cutting off her air supply. He didn’t release her until she was coughing repeated. Turning face to Hiro, he replied, [blue]''Fine. Take the little bitch for free.''[/blue] He gripped hard at her leash once more before handing her leash and the keys of her handcuffs over to Hiro. [blue]''Don’t go easy on her.''[/blue] The handler left with one last glance at the feisty Neko. Once he’d walked off Rika turned her eyes to the muscular lycan, hatred showing up her eyes for him.

[Deleted]

He looks down at she was looking up to him, from down from his feet. He felt and saw the hate from her eye that were shining because of the light. He place his hand on her cheek, she was soft and warm, then placed his index finger to her chin to move her face from side to side. "Your in decent condition, in fact you were better treated than most slaves. You should be happy that I decided to get you and not a vampire or something. You would of made a perfect blood bag for a thristy vampire, your soul would of been a good meal for a soul eater."

He brushed her dark hair back behind one ear. "My dear, tell me. What are you good at? If you choose to be disobeient I have to punish you." He lowers himself to whisper in her ear. "I don't like hurt my slaves. But I have to let everyone know why they have to fear me ok?" He leans back. "Give me your answer now! Or your gonna get hurt....Badly."

[rika]

The corner of her lips twitched slightly when she felt his warm hand against her cheek. Despite the fact that she wanted to lunge at him, she held back because she knew he could easily over power her. She only slightly resisisted his touch when he examined her delicate features. His words only served to fuel her anger even more. What he was doing made her feel like she was being examined like a piece of meat. She scoffed slightly when he spoke, her eyebrow raising slightly. Her Barbadian accent was evident in her words when she replied, ''How are you any better then them? Apparently, you’re still my ‘master’ ''

She tilted her head away from his touch when he moved her dark tresses. When he questioned her, she stayed silent partially to think of reply and also just to irritate him. She raised her eyebrow slightly when he whispered words into her ear. Her only visible reaction was a slight smirk on her features. She hissed softly when he harshly to her. Even if he had told her that he didn’t want to hurt her, that still didn’t negate the fact she still despised him. Her tone was even colder when she replied, ''Sex. Singing and dancing. Killing. I was an assassin before they forced me into this. I killed bastards just like you everyday.''

She squirmed to move even further away from his towering frame, but her handcuffs made it difficult to move. Taking a softer and more seductive tone to her voice she asked, ''Can you take off these cuffs please?'' She lifted her chained wrists up for him to see.

[Deleted]

He sighs and rolls his eyes with her damn attitude and he couldn't help but smile a bit. He liked her already. Strong and indepenent, he looks around the people were still watching him. He sighs and regretfully is force to backhands her face. But held back a lot on her, meaning only hard enough where it sounds like he hit her hard. "Don't expect me to be kind to you. You obviously do not know who I am! I am your master, you expect having a seductive voice can get you everything? Maybe other masters but not me!" He grabbed her chain and puts her out of the club with people cheering for him.

Once they were a block or two away from the club he stops. "I am deeply sorry for that." He said in a soft tone. "Were not all beast like that? You said you were an assassin am I right?" He breaks the chains from her wrist and hands her two deadly knives, then takes a few steps back. "My dear please...Show me what you can do." He knew she could do much in her current state of being, but that wasn't hid objective to see. It was her willingness to survive, her determination, was she just another slave or was she still the prove assassin. If she is what she said she was, he would use her more than just any other slave. He would give her much more freedoms and opprunities.

[rika]

The curiosity in Rika`s eyes piqued when she saw the brief smirk that graced his features. Did he find this situation to be amusing?! When he raised his hand to her, her inhuman reflexes kicked in and she dodged but was still caught by his hand. She noted that despite the brutality in his voice, he hadn’t hit her in such a way that could even remotely be considered hard. But that still didn’t negate the fact that he had hit her. She hissed loudly, the heat of her anger rolling off her skin in waves. She knew that if she didn’t keep her anger in check, she would eventually set fire the entire building in a fit of pyromania. She laughed slightly when amusement at his harsh words. ''Do you think I give a damn who you are?!''

Since winced just slightly when he tugged her out of the club, disgusted by the sick individuals that egged him on. She followed him in stony silence until they came to a stop. His gentle words made her raise an eyebrow. It was a bit frustrating how he switched from kind to cruel in such short time. When he broke her chains she rubbed her bruised wrists gently to sooth the irritation. She was more then shocked when he placed the knives into her small palms. He was very daring to give knives to such a fiery Neko. She listened intently to his request all the while effortlessly twirling a knife in each hand to get back her feel for them. Out of all her weaponry, knives had always been her favorite. The efficiency of which she could use them had always appealed to her far more then a gun.

She immediately toke on a stealthier stance, mischief flashing in her hazel orbs. She focused her attention onto the metal weapons in her hands and directed at her firepower energy to them. The more she focus, the higher the temperature became until the heat was rolling off her petite frame in waves. The metal of the knives grew hotter and hotter until they had a faint orange glow. She stepped towards him in a slow, deliberate manner and her deadly power was unmistakable. She stopped when she was right in front of him, her head tilting as she gazed over his chiseled features with curiosity. She moved the tip of the scorching knife down the side of his bare neck. Her lips were just centimeters from his as she spoke in a sultry whisper with her eyes never leaving his, ''Before I do that, what makes you think I won’t just kill you now and run?''

[Deleted]

He watched her carefully. Her stance need a touch up but her power, stamina, and furocity was nearly unmatched, maybe even equal to that of Dark Fang. Yes, she will have her uses and this will indeed be much fun. He stood there casually as she placed her new knife on to his neck. He smiles and give her a kiss. "You know if you wanted a kiss, all you needed to do was ask." He said jokingly. Then his face went serious as she threaten him, a small smirk rising from his lips. HE let out a short sigh before he spoke to her.

"Simple. First of all, your curious of what is in store for you and your future. Otherwise you would of not bothered with this and I would of had to chase you down. And that wouldn't be much fun would it? Plus you must think I'm kinda of cute." He said jokingly at the end. He grabs her and uses it to cut open his own throat, the cut was deep, his skinned burned due to the heat. Blood dripped to the ground, you could see his atoms apple and everything. But as quick it appeared, skin reformed perfectly as if nothing happened. And slowly he brushed the blood off his neck. "My dear, I cannot die, at least not yet." He smiles once more. "Aren't you just a little curious of who I am now?"

[rika]

She hissed softly when he kissed her, but she couldn’t help but kiss him back. Her eyes flared with anger. Despite the fact that he irritated her with his smart alec replies, but it was something about him that peaked her curiosity. She kissed him back softly, letting her lips linger for just a moment. Hr eyes flashed with mischief before she spoke. ''I’ve never been good at asking for things. I prefer to just take what I want..'' She smirked softly and she continued to watch him. If he expected her to be a sweet little compliant slave, he obviously hadn’t learned anything about her in the past few minutes. He would quickly learn that she was an independent woman who would do any and everything she wanted regardless of what he would say.

She listened with interest as he spoke. A frown came across her delicate features in irritation. The way he had read her emotions had been too accurate for her liking. She chuckled softly when he gloated about his own looks. ''I’ll admit that you’re cute, but that isn`t gonna make me bow down to you like some obedient little girl.'' She smirked softly before she added, ’’And what makes me so important that you’d chase me down? I’m sure you could just buy another slave to replace me and not even bother going through all that trouble.’’ She watched with interest when he slashed his own neck, a light smirk coming to her features. She took her knife back from him and licked the sharp blade clean with her tongue, the copper taste of his blood now fresh in her mouth, before replying him. ''I’m a little curious. But I’m sure you’re gonna tell me even if I wasn’t.''

[Deleted]

"Freedom....Is what we all want." He voice became light and much more welcoming. He leaned his head closer to hers. His face a few inches away from hers. "And if you really wanted it you could of ran just now and no I wouldn't of really chased you down. Think about it, a 'slave' on the run? Not to mention the slave is rather attractive with skills for making money, from sexual intercourse to killing. No matter how good you are at your job before, you got caught then, and you would get caught now. And maybe, if you are not so prideful, come back to me for safety. I am not trying to offend you, but if I have. Get over it, its the truth and I really don't like to lie to people." He looks into her eyes and listens to her heart beat. "Ah....But you have a firey spirit I see...You wouldn't go back to me for safety if you were chased would you? Then again I wouldn't truly know what you would do. You nekos are so...Unpredictable."

"Rika....I don't ask you to obey my every wim like I'm some fat roman, excuse the languge." He lived in the times with the roman, with their 'civilized' way of living. Games of men killing each other, conquering other tribe mercilessly, raping women, forcing children into slavery. The rich being fed by slaves, becoming fat with their own greed. "No, I want you and your skills to be....'Enhanced', you see I have a assassin as well. He is the best of the best, he has weapons that you would fall in love with. I want you to be part of something the vampires would never expect in their lives. A force of highly skilled assassins, you can play the part well couldn't you? And the deal is, you join the force. I provide you with food and drink, a place to live and sleep in, and money for whatever you wish."

"If you really don't know me, you'll find out sooner or later. I won't tell who I am personally, since I didn't spark a....'Chemical reaction'..." He said playfully and a small grin on his face.

[rika]

She hissed softly when he moved closer, but she made no attempt to pull back from him. She listened in silence at his words, her faced contorting in a slight frown when he spoke of her getting caught again if she ran. Her vanity wouldn’t allow her to fathom that thought. Rika was a very strong willed girl who would do anything to survive. The only visible sign of her enslavement was the pink collar fashioned around her neck. And if she chose to remove it, there would be no physical proof that she was, or had ever been, a slave. However , the matter was far deeper then physical. The fact that in this society she was considered someone else’s property was what irked her. The fact that these people thought they could use and abuse her like trash irked her. Once she was freed, she would move on with her life and be free form these retched people. Once he finished speaking, she retorted, ''I would come back only as a last resort. I’m big girl, and I think I can more then take care of myself. I’ve been looking out for myself for a long time. I doubt that I would need you to be my savior. And besides, how should I know that all this isn’t just lies to gain my trust before you take me home and abuse me like every other master in this damned city?'' She said that last part with obvious harshness in her voice. She had been betrayed by people before, particularly the male race. And she didn’t intend on it happening again.

Once he continued speaking, he caught her interest. The idea of being a hired assassin once more excited her. She had never been one of those psychotic killers with a passion for blood, she was more professional then that. She always had organized deals with her cash upfront. She had always preferred stealthier and more crafty approached to her line of work. Maybe she just liked it that way or maybe it brought it that primal big cat that always lurked within her. The excitement of creeping through the night, stalking her prey, and killing them swiftly had always boiled her blood. Making sure that her curiosity was not obvious in her tone, she countered him, ''How exactly are you intending on enhancing my skills?''

She smiled coyly at that last bit, she smiled softly. She trailed her sharp nails down his neck. ''What exactly do you mean by chemical reaction?''
