Be Mine (1)

Vengence

"Where's Tao?!?" Anthony yelled, hitting the gangbanger repeatedly.
"I dont know!" He yelled over the pounding and the continuios flow of blood. "All he said was shoot, and i shot!"

Anthony snarled, picked his baseball bat, and smashed the bangers skull in until it was mush.
"Tell the Devil he's next, asshole." He said, wipping the blood off of his bat. He looked arpund him, at the gore and the smashed skulls, and thought about that bastard Tao

This punk killed his brother.
Now, he was going to kill him.

Not because he hated him. He didnt really hate anyone.

He was killing because he had the NEED to. And Tao's family was the prime target.
He grabbed a pistol, then looked it over. It was an Amarican model, .45, extended clip, no silencer.
"Huh." Anthony put the gun in his pocket, on safety. "Might need this later when i blow that pussy's brains out."

Anna checked everywhere. At school, at work. Every search turned up empty.
"Where could he be?" She asked herself, pacing around the park bench.
"He said something about friends..." Chelsea replied, thinking hard, then snapping her fingers. Tao's palace!"

Anna stopped her pacing, then eyed her. "You know where this guy's house is?"
"Me and Tao dated before me and Anthony did, unfortunately." She said sheepishly, looking away. "Anthony... saved me. He was apart of Tao's little street gang. When Anthony found out it was more than a 'club', he left, and took me with him. He and Tao were so close before Kai got killed sticking up for Anthony against Tao."

That's when it hit Anna. Hard.
The tattoo...
The death of a little brother...
The revenge plot...

"Anthony and Tao-"
"Are blood brothers." Chelsea finished, standing up. "Tao is a cold, heartless man. He shot Kai himself, in front of Anthony, then left. We need to find Tao, before Anthony does. Otherwise," she said, showing Anna the Demon kanji tattoo on her wrist, "The Dragon of Death will strike one last time."

Anthony stood in front of Tao's hideout.

It was an old red-brick building, one that was built in the '50's as a small hotel. Built under an overpass,  Tao and his gang had turned it into a hideout, where they performed drug deals, pimping prostitutes, and every known crime under the sun.

"Here i go." He said, then let out a breath as he banged on the door.
The slot slid open, revealing an Asian man as the guard. "Ryuu?! Arent you dead?!?"
Anthony pulled out the gun and aimed at the mans eyes. "You are if you dont open this fůcking door."

He tensed, then reluctantly opened the door. When he did, Anthony slammed the mans head into it, knocking him out. Walking in, he shot two men in the skull, then made his way upstairs.
As he made his way to the door, Anthony hear Kai's little voice speaking to him like he always did before something terrible happened.
'Dont do this, Anthony. Tao can be saved!'
I cant, Kai. He thought, hand barely above the knob, Tao brought this apon himself.

He slammed the door open, then faced two guards holding Chelsea and Anna hostage.
He snarled, charged the nearest one, and slammed into him. The guard didnt have enough time to draw his gun when Anthony disarmed him, shot the other guard twice in the heart, then snapped the poor bastards neck.

A slow clapping resonated, and a figure in a white kabutchi mask and black trenchcoat stepped out of the darkness.
"Congradulations, Ryuu. You killed Cousin Jong and Cousin Zhang. How do you feel?"

Anthony spit at Tao's face.
"Like slowly squeezing every ounce of your black blood out of that damn skull of yours." He growled. "I warned you, Tao. Ever let me think of you again, you die."

Tao laughed lightly. "Nice try, brother, but you dont scare us. Dont you agree..." a slender figure stepped out of the shadows, and it was obvious it was a he. "Kai?"

"I agree, brother." Kai said, taking off his mask. "Hello, Ryuu. Im sorry you thought i was dead."

Anthony froze.
"K....kai... no... you... your dead..."

Kai smiled, just like he used to. Sweet, innocant, good.
"No, Ryuu. It's really me. Please, let me explain."
