Shadow waited leaning against a wall till his boss walked out hanging up the phone. A look on his boss's face said it all the conversation went completely off of what they wanted. The man walked over placing a hand gently on his shoulder as if comforting a lost child.<span style="font-style: italic">" The man said she is safe, but you must not go after her. Though , between me and you , I would. She went go her father , who lives in that large mansion , you know the one, your mom took you to it before she died."</span>Pain was written all over Oshimi's face like a swell that never goes away.<br/><br/>" So what your telling me to just swoop in , and save her? Is that even ? Won't I get arrested? " There was a moment of blabberment before he calmed down twirling keys in his hand. A choice was well never really a choice was it? His instincts screamed get to the fucking car and drive like hell. However his brain said getting in a deadly accident just did not seem very reasonable at the moment. He turned from his boss so that his back was turned. " Is this an order sir?"<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">" Yes , now go get her." </span>Oshimi pushed him just enough for him to move slightly forward. The push was just enough of a shove to make him start for a run towards the front of the funeral home as the fumes of death consumed the home. A terrible scent of dried blood, vomit , and mosk but once he was outside straight crisp air filled his lungs. God Fresh air never once would one miss fresh air! The car was parked awaiting for him to start it like a automatic promise.<br/><br/>With a press of a button the car unlocked , and his skull keys shoved into the key hole to start the engine. Just like that the car engine reved up , jamming the song Emergency by paramore as he pulled backwards. Swinging the car around and heading for the highway. Highway traffic was rather large and he had to weave in between cars as if they were standing still. Heart pounding he headed for the very mansion where he last saw his mom. The very place he swore to never see again! But it was Rena and he couldn't just leave her there like she meant nothing. Even if it was her dad!<br/><br/>Finally he found the exit to her father's mansion's town speeding down the off ramp to slam on the breaks like a crazy person all of a sudden. The light only stayed red for a few moments then the light turned green and he speed up to her father's gate lost in confusion as to how to enter through the gate. A man walked up to his car knocking on the window to make him roll the window down.<span style="font-style: italic"> " Sir , I do not believe my master is expecting you." </span>Then in a lower voice the man spoke again<span style="font-style: italic">. " Shadow , you should not be here , you have been told to stay away , or so the master says.I can not open these doors." </span><br/>-----.----------.----------..--------------------------------------------------_-----------------<br/><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"You haven't even gotten to know me and already your trying to control my life. Just. Like. Her."  </span>The king winced trying hard not to act like these words stung as much as frankly they had. Though what truly startled the man was the aura that radiated off of her due to anger. A small flash of wings just barely noticeable and almost complete darkness in her eyes that caused him just to shudder. If one could say she had the wrong side to be angry at. A cigar found its way into his mouth, as he lit it , thinking on the steps that needed to be discussed. Just as well he was pacing around his desk now. Children...he was only glad he had one , and that she was as resilient as himself.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"I won't marry for any other reason but love. I won't have a marriage forced on me thats destined to fail long before it even begins. I won't!" </span>Darian played down at Rena's feet as her fists hit her side all balled up. Her father hefted a long sigh. It wasn't like he was bartering her off for money , or anything of that sort. He had specifically picked men who would challenge her personality.<br/><br/>" I do not expect you to marry for money or any other reason but love, however I feel you must trust me , if you can find someone worth more than openly bring them to me. But at least this way I know a few names of a few guys you might like. Do not take me for a half wit dear, I did not control your mom. She controlled me. Begged me to leave because of some insane vision she had. Believe me if I could have her back, I would !" Then there was a sudden beep on the intercom. It was slightly loud , and sounded urgent.<br/><br/><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic">" Sir , we have a problem , let's just say rebellious boy does not like being patient . "</span></div><br/><br/>The cigar in the king's mouth found its way to an ashtray. Than he slid into the chair waving Darian away , but not Rena. " Yes , Shadow dislikes listening to anyone but his gang leader, and ....his dad. Well there is no point in holding him at the gate. The kid will break through anyway." He clicked the inter com off.<br/><br/>" So , if you must know Shadow knows nothing about being an option as your mate. So please be gentle with him. But just because Darian knows does not mean Darian can not be a  friend. " He leaned back , awaiting for Rena to freak out or at least that was his expectation.
