Queen Yuki

Everyone had taken countless photos since joining that organization, but she was one of the people who treasured them the most, and in this special case, this photograph was extremely important to her.

She reached out her right hand very carefully before taking the portrait from her, she was able to blink softly and slowly to put it on the cabinet. She was face down, just like she left him every night to go to work and so she closed the door leaving the room in darkness while she adjusted her gloves.

Be quiet.

Everyone watched her as she prepared herself with ease. She took a pair of twin swords and put them in the sheath that was strapped to her shoulders, holding it behind her back. She then took a pair of silver revolvers which she placed at the sides of each of her legs, her work would start in ten minutes but she was very calm.

He turned one last time to the mirror: dark, skintight leather pants, then what appeared to be a simple leather vest, not even anything underneath, that belt holding his pants, the weapons, the fingerless gloves, and decided I was ready to go. She remembered that her reflection didn't exist and a man simply walked over and handed her a long black coat that would hide evidence of her weapons.

"It's time," he informed her so that she could only nod with a sigh, to quickly put on her coat as he began.

"Let's go get them, Xander"

There was a very bright moon in Detroit. There was commotion everywhere as it was Saturday so people were getting drunk and making some riots around the neighborhood. Due to the violence in this area, no one was surprised every time a dead person was found, although lately the victims lost a lot of blood before being completely killed.

It was so cold that the albino could barely tolerate it despite the mask on his face, which covered his mouth and nose. The truth was that working on cold dates was not his greatest pleasure, but now he was very distracted on the roof of a warehouse while he read for the umpteenth time that book that he did not put down for some reason in life. Thanks to the fact that it was night, his presence there was not obvious and due to the special ability of that abnormal eye, he could read without any problem despite such darkness.

"It's going to be so much fun when you go blind" accused the blonde as steam was present in every word he said "How can you be so calm in this cold?"

"There's nothing better than being distracted, Jose. Can you tell where he is?"

"Give it a few seconds," asked the blue-eyed man, before putting a cigarette to his lips, taking a lighter out of his pocket before lighting the tobacco, to take a deep drag "Would you like some?"

"It seems that they don't mind hiding their presence" murmured a female voice, sitting on the ground behind them, while they both reacted.

"When did you get here?" The blond questioned, surprised.

"It's you who smells them and you didn't even notice their presence, huh? What an idiot" the older one mocked, to which the girl smiled.

"Our grouping doesn't make much sense, after all, Xander," she reminded him, before standing up. "You can see the thousands of miles away, he smells them, I can do both and even feel them"

"Well, we face all kinds of enemies" commented the other, with a barely evident smile.

"Here it comes" she murmured, turning serious.

"Really?" He asked the other before turning over his shoulder, not to see anyone, and then facing forward "I don't…"

"She's gone" interrupted the boy. "He's about to turn the corner"

"Let go of me, damn it!" One woman screamed as a tall African-American almost dragged her by her wrist.

"Shut the fuck up" he growled, before pushing her against the warehouse wall, he had red pupils.

A shot.

The girl blinked twice before noticing that she had been hit right on the wrist of the hand with which she was holding her, she turned to look to her right and found a woman, she turned her face to the left and looked at that shattered hand, even so, the boy had remained motionless, while his face had some spots.

She began to tremble, not knowing what to do, as the fellow steadied himself and opened his mouth again, hearing a somewhat savage growl that would make the prostitute scream in terror just before those animal fangs sharpened and the other handshake him and take him by his hair, placing him in front of the other woman, showing her how he would devour her at that moment.

The second shot hit her shoulder on her good arm so the woman was freed without choice, so she ended up on the cold pavement, leaving her to crawl looking for a way out of what seemed like a real nightmare. He just stared in amazement, the beast before his eyes and then the woman in black.

"Go" ordered the woman with the gun, so the girl only hurried to escape and run, while the monster reacted to both shots, with its head down, before raising its face and letting out a ferocious growl "And you shut the hell up!" mouth" he shot.

"Fuck off, you filthy bitch" then he lunged at her, with that red tinkling look, so she fired off another couple of shots.

When they realized, that body was on the ground colder than before. One-shot right between her eyes and one to her chest, terrifyingly penetrating. She just put the gun away before hers two companions of hers reached her, standing next to her before looking at the body of her subject, the albino then covered her eye with the band he was wearing. her.

"You seem more independent lately, Yuki" the man admired, to which the girl sighed tiredly.

"Well, I've been training a long time," she admitted, as the blond pulled out a phone and made a call. "I'm sorry if you don't enjoy yourself as much as before Xander, but I can't depend on you all the time"

"Of course not" he supported her as she smiled once more "You're all grown up, little one" he teased, putting a hand on her head.

"Cleanup crew is on their way," the blonde informed. "We can continue with the work, according to the locator we will find him in the next building, the other is selling drugs at a party, we will have to wait for him to come out"

"Then let's continue" replied the girl, to give them a very calm smile before they turned their backs on her.

"Okay, it looks like this visit to Detroit won't last as long as the previous one" commented the blond very animated. "Maybe we'll be early." They were making their way, taking only a couple of steps before a shadow rose behind them.

"Jose, are you hungry?" The girl asked, to which he sighed before shaking his head, shuddering slightly.

"Go ahead, Alejandra has served a lot of dinners..."

"Okay. Take advantage" he muttered, before turning around with a high kick that pushed the guy against the warehouse wall.

The grotesque figure emerged from the dust and debris, before noticing the girl walking calmly, her eyes now a radioactive shade of green, glowing like a pair of neon-style spotlights, her hands in her pockets.

"Demon" he accused her, but she smiled.

"My friend is a devil" she started, before taking off his coat and letting it fall when he got dangerously close "But darling" the tone of her eyes was changing to a reddish one "I'm much worse"

"Yuki has been very hungry lately" Jose commented while both gentlemen waited for her "Although considering that she doesn't drink much…"

"Yuki doesn't drink human blood, that will wear her down" replied the elder.

"Stop talking about me like I'm not here" she complained, before picking up her coat from the floor "Xander, tell the cleaning service that they only have to see the reconstruction and the ashes"

"Whatever you say, Yuki" then he made another call.
