Chapter Four

Nemesis lounged on Damien’s lap with her arms loosely wrapped about his neck. The leader of Team Kyrios lip-locked with his only female member. With no hood to hide her face, Damien could clearly see the beauty’s features. Midnight blue eyes gazed into his own red-flecked chocolate brown ones. Her long, ebony lashes curled to an almost inhuman degree. Parted crimson lips exhaled sweet breath. Nemesis was a born seductress through and through with her long black hair trailing down past her tiny waist and trim hips.

If one were to look around the lusty couple, they would find three others in the cavernous room of red and gold. Back in the darkest corner a small wind demon sat on an uncomfortable-looking wooden chair of red mahogany. The slender figure stared at the open file folder in his long-fingered grasp. On the opposite side of the room laughed two buffoons with bottles of alcohol aplenty scattered about their feet. And, huddled close to one another, three young females waited fearfully for what was to happen. They each prayed that the five fighters would continue as they were; not paying any mind to them.

Then Demontos stood suddenly, interrupting the happy couple’s make-out session.

“Nemesis, take a look at this file I got on the wenches,” Demontos said as he walked to and handed the woman the manila folder.

After a brief scowl at having to cease making-out, she opened the file and glanced at each paper briefly. Every now and then she’d glance at the girls with a raised eyebrow, an action which drew Damien’s attention. Whatever information Demontos found had to be good if Nemesis was reacting to it in any way. Finally she finished looking through it.

Smiling at Damien, Nemesis handed the folder to him. She thanked Demontos and sent him on his way. The wind demon returned to his place in the back of the room.

“I think you’re more of a genius than you think you are, Damien,” she said pressing her bosom against him.

He smirked at her. Brushing his lips along her throat, the Team Kyrios’ leader opened the folder himself. His eyes also scanned the paper and his smirk had long ago become a sinister smile that just kept growing as each paper was looked over. He would occasionally mutter to himself but it was so low that Nemesis never caught what was said.

“Excellent job, Demontos,” he said glancing in the said person’s direction.

The small wind demon nodded once, accepting the praise.

Damien patted Nemesis’ bare thighs and said, “My greatest apologies my love, but I need to get up.”

She pouted but kissed him and got up, allowing him to stand. Damien walked straight to where the girls drew back in fear. Demontos glanced up from his newest reading material to see Damien standing before the trio of girls. He stood himself and walked over. The two drunken fools stopped whatever they were doing and immediately came to where the rest of the team had gathered once they too saw what was occurring.

Nemesis stood at Damien’s side, her arm looped through his as she gazed unconcerned at the girls. Demontos had come to wait somewhere behind Nemesis to the right while the idiots stood closer to the couple in front of the women. Yukina and Botan and Keiko all stared at Team Kyrios in pure terror. It was evidently time for “guest treatment”.

Damien smiled at the girls clinging to one another. He loved the way they watched him with fear. He loved it almost as much as he loved when Nemesis looked at him with tenderness.

“It has come to my attention that one of you girls can serve a grand purpose for me,” Damien said. He paused, “Do any of you know what I‘m talking about?” When they made no response, he turned to face the slender figure behind Nemesis. “Enlighten these poor women.”

Demontos never moved or looked at the girls. He merely said “The ice demon’s tear are the much sought after tear gems.”

All three gasped. They all knew what was going on now.

“Jason and Kyle, I want you to take the other two to the basement,” ordered Damien. “I’ll deal with them later.”

Nodding, the yetis grasped hold of either Botan or Keiko. The girls struggled to hold onto Yukina. They both knew what was going to happen to their dear friend and they weren’t about to let it occur without a fight. They resisted with tooth and nail. However, their valiant battle was easily stopped by a smart smack across the face by Damien.

“Now we won’t have any of that from either one of you,” he scolded sharply.

Botan and Keiko each held their stinging faces and struggled to hold back their own tears. However, Botan could not hold them all back and a few silent tears slid down her face.

Nemesis watched emotionlessly as the two were dragged from the room. Damien turned to Yukina who scrunched up as small as she could possibly become. The Demon Dancer gazed at the lone tear that slid down her pale face. The Kyrios team members Damien, Nemesis, and Demontos were graced with the sound of the first tear jewel dropping to the floor with a gentle chime. The small jewel was of the palest blue color and if held up against a flame seemed more purple tinted than blue. Kyrios bent down to pick up the fallen gem. He tossed it up into the air, caught it, and slipped it into his vest pocket.

Damien smiled joyously and turned to Nemesis, taking her hands in his. “My love, do you know what that sound was?” Nemesis didn’t reply, she just smiled in return. “Dearest, that was the sound of revenge. Glorious revenge. Not only will I be taking any and all reprisal from one of the Uremeshi wenches, but I’ll be making money at the same time.”

Nemesis laughed. It was a soft tinkling amidst the menacing air.

Turning away from her, Damien faced Demontos and ordered, “Do whatever you must to get those gems. …Whatever.”

Yukina stared at the small wind demon forlornly. She knew this. It was always the same. It was as if no one truly loved her for her. Well, except the Uremeshi team; especially Kuwabara.

Damien faced the Demon Dancer and took her in his arms, caressing her back as he thoroughly tasted her mouth.

Yukina watched the couple embrace. As did Demontos and Jason and Kyle, both of whom had just returned from the basement where they left the other two hostages. Finally, the two broke their kiss and Damien glanced about at the observers with a smirk before looking back to Nemesis.

“Come my pet, I desire your company in my bedroom.”

“As you wish.” she answered with a lusty smirk.

Botan and Keiko leaned against the rough stone walls in one another’s arms. The temperature had dropped drastically in the past four hours and the girls feared death by hypothermia. Rats and the like crawled about the dirt floor with the pair. Many times they’d had to kick a number of them for getting to close. And worst of all, Keiko and Botan had spotted rotting bodies in the room with them. Rotting bodies!

The room was a tiny thing of barely twenty square feet. The corpses were piled in the farthest corner, leaving the two girls huddled together beneath the barred hole that served as a window. Rats scurried from the miniature mountain of dead flesh to nibble at the shoes of Botan and Keiko only to be savagely kicked away.

It was a nightmare. The whole thing had to be some kind of horrible nightmare. Botan and Keiko were freezing. It was foul smelling and dirty. There were rodents and corpses. And their best friend Yukina was being abused in who knows in what way for her tear gems. This world was amazingly cruel.

Where were the boys? Would they be saved? Or would they be forever in the mercy of Team Kyrios? Neither girl knew the answer to any of the questions. It was all up to fate. …That vicious bitch.
