I stayed on the couch for a little longer and my eyes scoot over to the side to see sothing I didn’t notice before. Even though I was there for so ti, Yoshi just blended in with the couch surrounding almost camouflaging there. If not for the fact that I looked over to his side, I would not even notice him there.
My hand moved unconsciously toward him and I started stroking his soft fur. He started purring in his sleep and a little smile ford on my face seeing that. He was still a little baby so he needed plenty of sleep and nutrition. Also, he needed to be taught how to use a litter box because I doubt, he knows that yet. My thoughts as always are just all over the place. Even though I know Ai is captured right now, I am worrying about Yoshi’s litter box.
"I’m horrible aren’t I," I muttered and closed my eyes. It wasn’t like I was going to sleep any ti soon but this just made things easier for . "Ethan."
"You seem to have gotten yourself into great trouble now boy," I heard his voice. "To get your woman captured like that, you really have a lot of patience to just sit there like an obedient boy and do nothing about it."
"Who said I will be doing nothing?" I questioned the first. "Ethan, you lived longer than . You know we all need ti to sit down and formulate a viable plan."
"Yes, I do know that kid but what kind of plan can you possibly co up with? I am quite intrigued to know that now," he said and I let out a sigh.
I did say that, but I couldn’t think of anything except for personally going out and looking for Ai. I can put Akira to do that with and the S class hunters that Jas is going to appoint, but even so, we have no lead on Dominic. There is not even a single clue that I have to know where he had taken Ai. He has always been one step ahead of and this is clearly shown right now. I have no idea what to even do right now.
My mind is thinking of too many things and too little at the sa ti. No matter what I think I can do gets shot down instantly with other ideas.
Do I go look out right now? I can but where will I even start?
Is there a way that Ai had left behind a clue? Can be but what clue she can possibly send ?
Wait, a clue. Yes, a clue!
That too not by Ai but by Dominic.
"The daggers," I muttered and went for my pocket taking out the hairpins, and stared at them for so ti. I tried activating the weapon but I couldn’t. "Is it possible that it is only activated by the designated user?"
"That can be the case. This is quite advanced technology I must say. Humans really have co so far to fight vampires that they have to resort to this outside artificially enhancing them," Ethan said.
"Wait what?" I asked surprised by what he said. "What do you an?"
"They didn’t tell you?" Ethan asked surprised by the question. "Do you seriously think humans can bring themselves on a level to fight vampires even though they put their bodies through the most grueso of training? Vampires are leagues above humans in both speed and strength, they are creatures who have gotten past human boundaries and when I say human boundaries, I actually an it. Humans never use all of their strength to their advantage because the body will always automatically save so of the energy for later. It’s just logic that if you need to escape a surprise situation. Vampires have no such boundaries and have gotten beyond humans in that sense long ago. There is no way for humans to catch up to us."
"Wait, so you an…" I muttered and Ethan continued clearing things out for .
"The hunters and hunter organizations are dated back to almost only three hundred years ago. The first official vampire-hunting organization that was created was called the Executioners because back in the day, the execution was done by an executioner who was assigned to that job. This group was made for the executions of the vampires. Though they were a big fail," Ethan explained. "First thing they did, they got so arrogant they went after my lovely Sarah, the lord of the night as you may know her. The poor group couldn’t even last for five minutes before her and she ended up playing with them. They were all equipped with silver weapons that were specially made to kill us and they sure were so of the best fighters humans had at that ti. But alas, they couldn’t go up against the strengths of vampires. We are not feared for no reason you know."
"So when did the artificial enhancent of the humans happen?" I asked Ethan and thought for so ti.
"Hmmm, not while I was alive so probably in the later parts of the past century. There was a prototype they created but it was so unstable that the subjects couldn’t live for more than six months. All of their body being consud by the enhancent," he said and a chill went down my spine. "Though I think they have made a lot more stable version of it given the hunters such as your aunt have been hunters for more than ten years."
"I see…" I said and was still fiddling with the pin and even if I thought there was so clue behind the pins. I couldn’t quite get what was going on.
Dominic had Ai’s daggers in his hands when I saw him and I didn’t even notice when they let go of the daggers but knowing him I can tell there is sothing behind this. Sothing that I can’t quite see. I have to think of a way out of it, if not, I don’t know what Dominic would do with Ai. I know why he captured Ai though, that for one is sothing I am clear of.
To get the both of us.
Dominic understood that the bond I and Ai share is sothing quite strong. One would never let the other stay in trouble or danger and was ready to even risk their lives to save the other. If Dominic wanted to kidnap , he could have but Ai was the one who encountered him before I did and that was the only reason why she is in the clutches of Dominic and not . Dominic wants things from both of us and he would go to any extent to get that. This was a man who held nothing close to his heart, every living or non-living being he had around him was a re pawn moving at his command. He was a man who had nothing to lose and that’s what made him much scarier.
The fact that the only consequence he would face for his actions was death was scary or even the fact that that was the only consequence he had to his actions from the get-go. Dominic knows this and he does not even break a sweat even after that.
Death does not scare Dominic.
Nothing does.
That’s what makes him so terrifying and strong.
Because even death fears this man.
I let out a sigh and dropped the pins on the couch. "I think that is enough talking with you for today Ethan, thank you for telling that," I told the first.
"But you didn’t really co up with a plan, kid. I can read and hear your thoughts and they are all jumbled up into different pieces. You start talking about sothing, then you think of sothing else and start explaining things to yourself in your mind differently. It is quite weird, your line of thinking."
"That’s just how I am Ethan. I don’t know what to even say so myself but my thoughts are always jumbled up but they all work in my favor at the end when I actually need them to work in my favor so that’s all good," I said to him though he sounded unconvinced. "I know, I won’t be able to get any sleep, not like I was planning to. All I can do is keep thinking of sothing till fatigue hits and I faint."
"Doesn’t sound like a viable option to ," Ethan said to and I chuckled. My eyes looked over to Yoshi and I noticed sothing…strange. The pins were both sitting right beside each other pointing in one direction.
"What’s going on," I muttered, though it may have been a coincidence. I wanted to try sothing.
I picked up the pins and dropped them right in front of randomly one after another and right as they were about to fall down, they were led to falling beside one another and pointing in the sa direction. I little smile ford on my face and it slowly turned into a grin and then…
"Hehehe…" I started giggling. "Ahahahahahaha."
"What happened?" Ethan asked while I was laughing like a crazy man.
"Ethan, finding Ai would have been easier than I thought," I said.
"Hmmm? Do you have a plan?" Ethan asked and I nodded.
"Yes, I have a plan," I told him and pointed at the pins. Understanding exactly what I was going to tell him, he let out a little chuckle.
"It is a reckless plan Kazuki. You do understand that right?" he told and I nodded.
"But if we are going against soone like Dominic, reckless plans are the best bet we have. And this plan is not even reckless," I said and laughed a bit more.
"Yes, it’s a ss. A complete ss," Ethan exclaid and I agreed with him.
"Yep, this plan is a ss. But it is also my best bet against Dominic."
"If you say so, but don’t be too reckless either. You do understand who you are going against."
"I am being reckless because I know exactly who I am going against."
Just wait for now Ai. I am coming to get you.
