Feisty Kitty

     Felicia ran as fast as her cat-like legs could carry her before skidding to a stop and hiding behind a pillar in Dimitri's Castle. She could hear light footsteps from across the corridors. The shadow had seen her as she traveled down the halls of the castle, she had only caught sight of its piercing crimson eyes before fleeing the main hall towards the drawbridge of her nemesis' castle. "Here Kitty Kitty." He heard a husky voice purr from behind her pillar, she swallowed the lump in her throat, she may be strong bu those eyes just frightened. Felicia peeked from behind the large structure, she couldn't see the shady figure anymore. "I suppose he gave in." Felicia's cat ears twitched slightly, straining to hear any signs of movement in anywhere in the throne room but none could be heard by her high cat senses. "Hello Kitten." Felicia froze at the warm breath against her cat ear, the voice was like silk and firm, the shadow was definitely a male no doubt. She leaped away from the man and raised her claws for a serious fight until the light of the moon hit the man. Felicia blue eyes widened in amazement, the man was beautiful, his crimson eyes no longer sent shivers down her spine, his skin nearly glowing in the sky crescent's light, hair as black as ebony, dusty rose lips complimenting his moon-kissed complexion, he wore tight blue jeans, a black shirt, a jacket as red as his eyes, around his neck was a silver chain with a dragon charm dangling above the collar of his shirt, a blue moon earring decorated his right ear, a black patch covered his right eye, black leather half gloves hide a small amount of his moonlight hands, a gun held in his left hand.

She couldn't bring herself to hurt such a handsome face, Felicia lowered her paws as he belted the gun on his hip, the two gazed at each other for several moments. Felicia found the man entrancing, she found herself standing inches away from his face when had she advanced towards the man she wondered, but at the moment Felicia did not care, this man was even more beautiful up close. She cupped his left cheek with her paw, his arm snaked around her waist pulling her closer to him, Felicia felt her face grow hot at his gestured, yet her senses failed to reach her mind, her body wouldn't react to her brain alerting her of danger. Felicia inched her lips closer to his dusty rose ones and kissed the kissed the gorgeous man gently, her paws entangled his luscious ebony locks, she grew sad when the man didn't return react until finally he began to kiss her back, his arm around her waist pulling her flush against his chest and his leather glove fingers running smoothly through her bright blue hair. "Such a naughty little Kitten." He purred in Felicia's ear causing her tail to swish behind her happily and low purrs rumbling in her throat. Shindo held the cat-like female in his arms, admiring her beauty before slowly taking his gun from its holster and aiming it behind her neck, he pulled the trigger and with a soundless click a vile with a needle at the tip struck Felicia in the nerve of her neck, slowly she slumped against his body falling into a deep slumber. "Sweet Dreams Kitty."

Shindo carried Felicia in his arms like a bride all the way back to "The Celestial" on the other side of Dimitri's land. He admired the cat lying unconscious in his arms, she was beautiful from her flowing blue hair to the large hinds of her feline legs. "A beautiful cat like you deserves the most prior attention." Shindo chuckled tom himself and bordered the ship as it was beginning to hover above the ground preparing for departure. "Target acquired. Lets move out Zuki." He informed his sister in the control room as he came down the corridors to a door with a mysterious lock. Shindo muttered a few words in a dead ancient language causing the gears of the lock to groan as the lock circled in place, the door opened with a heavy creak revealing a dark cavern filled with stalagmites and rocky tunnels in the back ground. "A perfect imprisonment for a lovely kitten." He bound Felicia's hands behind her back tightly and proceeded to binding her legs together, wrapping layers of rope around her ankles and calves. Shindo wiped the sweat from his brow before rummaging through the pockets of his red jacket and producing a thin white cloth from the inner pocket of his jacket, he pulled the cloth between Felicia's teeth and knotted twice behind her head, taking one last glance at his prize before leaving the rocky tunnel through the heavy iron doors. He groaned  as he stretched his arms high above his head, hearing the bone in his lower back crack in the process, he should really consider seeing a message therapist or better yet just lay on his bed for a few hours until the tension in his back eased. "Need a long massage, dear brother?" Shindo stopped at the door to his chambers, he gazed across the corridor and saw his sister standing a few feet away from him, sympathy painted in her crimson eyes, Shindo looked at the floor for a moment and nodded to his sibling taken the offer of a relaxing massage after his little incident a few days ago.

Zuki rubbed deep into the curve of her brother's back, her hands working wonders into every tense muscle, she heard Shindo groan in discomfort when she pressed into the firm muscles of his neck line. "Brother you're extremely tense. Have you been straining your exhausted muscle behind my back?" Zuki felt her brother flinch as a sign that he had been caught disobeying her, she sighed and continued to massage his aching muscles digging her hands deeper into his back. Shindo sat up on the massage table, giving Zuki full advantage in rubbing his collar bone to his sore shoulders. "The long trip to Dimitri's domain really strained your still recovering body." Shindo had insisted that Zuki allow him to capture Felicia on his own, she had tried to convince her brother into remain in "The Celestial" for the sake of his well-being but of course Shindo had somehow won their little battle in the end. Her brother had known the price of engaging the target in his current condition, but his ignorance also got the better end of his judgment even though Shindo was very hard-headed Zuki couldn't help but love him.
Shindo sighed, enjoying every moment of his sister's hands massaging the knots from his tired muscles, no one knew massage therapy better than Zuki, she may be cold and harsh when hunting down her targets but was always sweet and gentle towards him no matter how many idiotic mistakes he made. He yawned as the effects of Zuki's massages to their toll on him, her therapy had always seem to put him to sleep when he needed it the most, his ruby eyes slowly closed as he laid on his bed, how he came to meet his bed he did not know nor did he care, Zuki continued to rub the muscles on his back after his eyes at last shut completely and all that could be heard was his soft breathing as he slept. "Sleep well Shindo." Zuki's hands left her brother's back and were replaced with cobalt sheets, her brother deserved some well earned sleep after his fight with the Uchiha Brothers over three days ago.

Felicia awoke to the sound of water dripping from the ceiling. Her ears pricked up at the sound of breathing coming from one of the tunnels ahead of her. Footsteps came from the tunnel on the fair end of the cavern, Felicia tugged and struggled to break the restraints around her wrists, ankles and calves, she screamed into her gag, she knew her cries would not be taken into consideration but she continued to cry muffled screams into the cloth wedged between her teeth. The figured crouched next to her, Felicia's eyes froze when they met a crimson gaze, she recalled those bright red eyes, but the figure was much smaller and had small curves along her waist, it was impossible for this person to be the man she met in Dimitri's Castle, the shadowy silhouette was most definitely female. "Amazing." She heard the figure mumble. "I've never seen one of your kind. Interesting. To think that a mere glance of a handsome man would swoon you so easily." Felicia growled through her gag, this girl was truly mocking her, of course she did feel pathetic for letting a gorgeous man distract her from her surroundings before she could hear the rustle of a gun it had been too late and a needle had pierced her neck and she had fallen unconscious in the man's arms. "Foolish Felicia. " A light flame build up in the red eyed girl's hand, showing her face from within the shadows. Felicia heart froze as she took in the girl's appearance, her skin was white as the moon, her eyes the same crimson hue, her hair was a royal blue color which reached to her shoulders, she wore a blue earring in the shape of a half moon and a matching dragon necklace around her neck. The girl looked no older than 18 but bared at frightening resemblance to the man she met back at the castle, she had his face, the same eyes and skin tone, but his hair was as black as ebony and he wore a red half moon earring and a red dragon necklace. "To put your mid at ease. The man you encountered in Dimitri's Castle was my older sibling." The teenager laughed maniacally as Felicia resumed struggling against her bounds, her growls muffled by the cleave gag, Felicia tried her hardest to break free but found it futile, the ropes were too tight and all she was doing was wasting her energy.

Jesse and Jaden struggled and thrashed against the ropes binding them back to back. Jesse managed to loosen the ropes around his wrists from tugging at them for several hours, he strained his arms and was able to bring his hands in front of him. He untied himself from Jaden and proceed in removing the bindings around his ankles. "Great work Jesse." He heard the Slifer red say before turning towards him and untying his wrists, arms and legs. Jesse and Jaden hurriedly assisted Aster, who fixed himself up after they had removed his bounds, his blue eyes scanned the room feverishly, taking in all the people that had been captured by "The Collectors", Aster looked towards Jaden and Jesse helplessly, they shared the same look in their eyes at the sight, neither of the three wanted to leave all these people behind but they needed to find Zane. "We'll come back for all of you." Assured Aster following closely behind his friends as they ascended the iron steps. Jesse, Aster and Jaden stopped suddenly when a man dressed in black clothes strolled down the corridors, the three duelists' were amazed by the man,  he had pointed ears like an elf, his skin as an ashy hue, his eyes were fearfully red like the Ayamis and he carried a sword and shield on his back, the young teenagers sighed in relief as the elf-like man continued down the halls without even catching a glimpse of them hiding against a dark wall which rounded to a second hall. "That was too close." Jaden mumbled. "Come on. We have to find Zane then go back for all the other prisoners in the hold." Jesse added, he peeked through an iron door and squeaked softly when he saw Shindo sleeping inside. "Wrong door." He chuckled nervously before proceeding behind the silver haired duelist and his out-going brunette friend. Jaden peeked through a door with a circular window and spotted Zane bound near a control panel and inside the room bound to a pole was a blond warrior as well. "Okay. Zane is inside and there's also a blond guy in there too. We have to get both Zane and blondie out of there." He thought a moment and slowly ventured into a vent in the wall and scurried silently out of the other side and pressed a finger to his lips signaling Zane and the blond to keep quiet. Jaden crawled over to Zane and tried his best to untied his friend's wrists. "Looks like I caught a mouse in the control room." Jaden froze, he had been caught by Zuki, how could see have known if her back was turned.

The door to the control room slid open and in stepped the ash skinned elf holding both Jesse and Aster by their arms bound and gagged. Jesse was gagged by many layers of blue tape over his mouth and circled around his head while Aster was gagged by a cloth over his mouth and nose which was held in place by layers of black tape. "Excellent work Dark. Seems to me that we have three valiant little duelists here. Such a pity they couldn't free their friends." Zuki laughed and grabbed Jaden by the back of his shirt, she wrenched Jaden's arms behind his back earning a satisfying cry from the young Slifer red, she took some rope from her pocket and bound Jaden's wrists tightly, keeping his hands secured behind his back, which soon followed with ropes being wrapped around his chest pinning his arms to his sides painfully. Zuki and Dark Link hauled the duelists back to the cargo hold, Zuki shoved Jaden against the iron wall and forced him to sit down, she crossed Jaden's ankles over the other before taking more rope from her pouch and wrapping it around his red boot covered ankles then proceed to wrap other lengths of rope around his thighs. "Let us go!!!" Jaden demanded only to be silenced by red tape slapped over his mouth, he squirmed helplessly as Zuki round the roll of red tape over the first piece, Zuki finally tore the end of the tape after circling it eight times around Jaden's head, she gazed across from where she kneel and smiled seeing that Dark had finished tying Jesse's legs the same way she had tied Jaden's legs. Zuki turned on her heels and saw Aster dangling a few feet above the floor, Dark had rounded more rope around his legs, pinning his calves behind his thighs and had slid a  hook under the ropes around his knees keeping him elevated above the ground, she circled around the silver haired duelist in pure interest. She crouched in front of Aster, who attempted to back away from her in discomfort, she held his head in her hand and pressed her face into his silver hair as half of it fell over his handsome since he was dangling upside down.

Dark had been ordered by Shindo previously to bring Felicia to the cargo hold. Her carried the angry feline in his arms calmly. He ignored infuriating grumbling behind her cleave gag as he scalded down the steel steps, he laid her down next to the two duelists, whom grew wide-eyed at the sight of her, their faces reddened at her lack of clothing. Dark snickered at their faces before standing up and taking his place beside Zuki, who stood near the middle of the hold with a cocky smirk on her moon-kissed face. She held out her hand to Dark, who grasped her hand gently in his gauntlet hand, he kneel in front of Zuki and kissed the back of her hand gently before gazing into her beautiful bright red eyes, she nodded to him and he stood up, obeying Zuki's every command like the loyal hylian he was.  Her crimson eyes shimmered with satisfaction and smiled at Dark before projecting her voice loud enough for everyone in the hold to hear. "Let this be a lesson to you all. None of you can escape "The Collectors" that easily." The eyes of the captives were drain of their hope and courage, neither of them tried to prove Zuki wrong, each one of them lowered their gaze to the ground knowing fully well that they have all been captured by very skilled people and that escape was nothing more than a fantasy in their hearts now.
