{chione} The Cat must stalk its prey

[Kane Grey]

Kane had a mission. He's been sitting in his room on board the Ally in which he called it. He's been told a few academy kids had escaped the academy. He needed to bring at least one of them back. This particular one had seemed to get her little chip out of her and they could not get her back. The other was the problem child to begin with. Okay so if one could escape the other had escaped with them. Where they had gone no one really knew and the academy being the academy didn't turn on the tracking device to find either of them. He sighed and got out of bed heading off to the shuttle that would take him to planetside. He was sure both girls would head for the border planets. Not many of them were completely controlled by alliance but enough so that they'd still have to lie low. He looked at the Captain of the vessel he was one told her he had a mission sent to him directly from the academy and got in his shuttle and was off like a rocket.

They weren't far from Persephone so that was exactly where he was going to look first. People didn't get far after all. Not when they hadn't ever been out of the academy. He was surprised to find that it was new academy member that he was hunting. After all he'd graduated the academy with flying colors apparently. Of course he Believed what the alliance and academy were doing was right. After the whole Miranda incident he was sure it was alright. Then again there were parts of him the part that confused him that were saying that it was wrong. He shook that off felt a prick the size of a needle shoot through his shoulder and he was back on course and thinking about his mission at present. He was sure another believer not of academy bound blood was searching for the other one too. After all the name of the second rang a bell to Kane but he couldn't figure out why.

He shook his head and made prep to land on Persephone. It took all of a few minuets for him to land and get to work. He walked through the docking area like any other person watching the hubbub of finding a ship going on. After all best place to look first were the places that the ships touched down. If someone leaving match description of the girl he was looking for he'd be more than willing to take them away from their little ventures. However he's yet to get the exactly picture of the girl yet.So he'd have to wait a little before he could be on full look out. Still his mission had started and there was no going back.

Chione was starting to get comfortable on Persephone she had some help from a nice woman and was starting to thinkshe was safe here and maybe she could start a new life. But Chione knew she was going to have to move on soon make friends with a ship if she was going to find her friend Jules. She heard that ships were landing today so she decided to go down there and walk the docking area in hopes to see her friend. Stopping in a dark corner she closed her cloak up pulling the hood over her head she was not going to chance anything she didn’t need to see a message on those boards that might have a message in them that would make her go crazy.

It had been a few months since she got out of the academy she was not going to lie and say she was not scared because she was she couldn’t remember where home was and she only knew that her family was dead and gone she was alone and scared if the bounty hunters in this world knew she was scared and almost wanting to give up her hopes of surviving. Once she was all covered she continued her walk down the docks she didn’t know why she was so jumpy but she was on edge and was taking that as a sign to be safe.

Looking down at the ground she tried to get around a lot of alliance people before tripping and falling into a guy. Falling on the ground hard her hood fell over and she looked at the man in shock. “I’m so…sor….” She stopped herself and in one quick moment took off running she had heard about this man he was one of the men that was looking for her this was just great she had to get away from him. Running past a few others she sighed turning a corner to hide in the dark. “Why now?” she whispered to herself as she pulled a small knife out of her pocket hiding it under her cloak just in case he found her. Chione was not going to go down without a fight she would fight for her life if she had too.

Kane was starting to get bored. He really hated only having half the information he needed. Then again the academy tended to like to make him wait for pictures and such. All he knew was he was looking for someone that they could no longer locate. That was fine with him but he'd need a little more information. He had a pocket comlink on him. Something made awhile back by a person in the Academy under guidance he assumed. The machine was small and hardly ever needed repair. On top of that i linked oh so nicely with something else he was sure. What ever it was that let him know they were calling before they did so. He continued walking between the rows of people and signs. A few fugitives were still at large and that didn't surprise him but otherwise nothing really mattered at the moment. Even the things on the boards were now boring him as he'd been looking at them for so long now. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment.

It was about the time that he was going to open his eyes that he was run into. He immediately opened his eyes and went to help the female who had fallen. Only she barely said I'm sorry and took off running. He was completely confused as to why such a pretty looking female would be covering herself up so much. Of course his first thoughts did not lead him down the logical path of her being even slightly suspicious looking like she did. No the first thing to come into his mind was that she was pretty and obviously freaked out about him but he knew not why. Then again he did get that impression from people. It wasn't hard to tell what profession he was and who he worked for. Sometimes he hated that when he was just walking around and relaxing. Maybe he should have tried harder to blend in with the rest of the people. He sighed and took off after the girl. He wanted to make sure that she was okay.

He came to the dark area in which she was hiding herself. "This is no place for a lady. I'm sorry if I frightened you but I will not hurt you." After all he didn't even know his target at the moment and he really hadn't seen the female's place. "Please come out of there. I'm told unthinkable things could happen in such places but they will not happen to you on my watch." He put out his hand to help her up. He was sure that if she had something to defend herself with he'd be fine with getting a wound or too while trying to calm her down. He meant her no harm. So far as he knew she was just a very skiddish female and he wished he'd hadn't freaked her out.

Chione sighed and took a deep breath she could not get caught she didn’t want to go back to killing for that stupid school. Leaning against the corner in the back she didn’t want him to find her she could tell what his job was Jules had warned her about Bounty hunters. Holding the knife tightly in her hand she waited. She would kill if that might she could be free from this person and the academy. Chi closed her eyes she was worried without Jules here she was going to have a really hard time getting away. ”no no no this can’t be happening” she thought as she held her head tightly all this stress was hurting her already bruised head.

Crap he found her what was she going to do she didn’t want to call attention to her now she didn’t need everyone here knowing her. “I can care for myself…” she said shaking she was scared true she was a trained killer the academy had wanted her to be a killer for them; one they could control. True in the academy she was strong but out here she was scared she was not used to this world on the outside she wished she had help. Blinking as she listened to him she realized that he didn’t seem to know who she was. Slipping the knife back into her pocket she pulled her hood back off her head and slowly stood up.

Unwisely she took his hand and stepped out of the darkness and looked at him he would have a hard time seeing her face with the hood on it. Chi didn’t really trust anyone but he was hot and such a good looker also very kind or so it seemed but she really didn’t want to be fooled. “I’m sorry I danged into you it was a mistake….” She said in a scared tone. Pulling her hand away she looked up at him he was taller than she was. If he realized who she was he was going to grab her and she was going to be too scared to do anything.

“I’m really sorry, Sir.”

Kane really was a rather helpful person when he wanted to be. Course having a little sister that he wanted to protect made it easier for him to have a very soft spot for the ladies. His little sister had run off like that one time. But after he’d found her his parents sent him away. He hadn’t seen his little sister in some time now and in a sense that pained him. It was the last decent shred of humanity that he had. His parents and the damn academy would not take that from him no matter how hard that they tried. Of course when his chip and communications were telling him what to do all emotions shut off and he did his job like the well trained bounty hunter he was. He waited for the other to take his hand or something. After all he was probably scary if she knew what he was which most people did. It put a damper on his helping hand sometimes. He finally heard words come from the female’s mouth. He let out a small sigh.

”I have no doubt that you can care for yourself. It would just be safer to be out of there.” Peresephone was not the friendliest of places most of the time. He still hadan’t gotten word of who he was looking for only that this was where they last spoted the one that was with her so he was stuck her until her got more information about it. He could remember back to his academy days and hearing them yell about one who disappeared alot. Jules was her name least that what ever called her. They always got her back somehow. Then Kane had graduated and gone back to his family. It felt odd being back when he got there but then he realized that he was to do jobs for the academy and did them he did because they had programed him to do so. Of course at the time he was going through the academy he had no clue what they were doing and now the buzz that was in the back of his head from time to time didn’t bother him he just knew it was the academy trying to get ahold of him. He’s tracked down a few escapies along with a few people for the alliance. An alliance drone was what he’d heard people call him but he didn’t care.

Finally the girl took his hand and walked back into the light. She had her hood on again and he didn’t blame her. ”Its fine no harm done really.” She was a beautiful girl and he felt bad that she thought she had to hide herself but in part he could understand. Persephone was rough even with all the alliance crawling around. ”It’s nothing really.” He gave her a smile. He had no intention of fooling her in any way shape or form. ”You look a little thirsty or perhaps hungry. I’ll take you somewhere. Anywhere you want to go for such things.” He was a horrible flirt but that was exactly what he was doing.

He seemed trusting so she moved her hood and looked at him. Her eyes full of fear and worry she was tired and didn't know what to do she could not fail now she could not let him know who and what she was. No one would believe her that she didn't want to be what she was trained and raised to do it was why she ran. The scary part is that she believed that she once knew this boy once but she couldn't remember. When Jules took out the chip her memory faded to almost nothing all she really knew was her name and that she was on the run looking for Jules to help her.

But her mission was starrting to disappear she was no closer to finding Jules than she was to finding a home and a safe place. Tears formed in her eyes as she thought about it. Part of her wanted to go back to the academy because it was all she knew all she was trained to know being out here with no money for shelter, clothes and food she was lost and scared but also a trained killer that could be triggered at any moment. Standing next to one that could take her in does she give up and tell him or does she continue this run. Her decision came fast and next she was agreeing to go get food.

She was skinny and hungry had not eaten for a few days so the running down the deck took a lot out of her. “I…Okay....” she whispered as she locked eyes with him shock went right through her even though he was a bounty hunter she realized just be looking in his eyes that she could trust him, but what would happen when he got a picture of her? Would he turn on her? Trick her? “I.. am Styx…” she got out as she suddenly passed out in his arms. In her mind she could not help but think how safe and warm his arms felt. Food sounded good but sleep sounded better.

There was something about this girl that seemed so familiar but he couldn't put his finger on it. After all his training and everything else he wasn't exactly sure how he was supposed to be feeling about anything. He was just supposed to believe in the Alliance and that they had the right ideas in mind. On the second of that he had to be the Academy's man. He was alright with all of this but sometimes it seemed that things didn't seem right. Just a little something but then the pain would come and he'd be back to thinking like he was supposed to be thinking. It was his lot in life apparently. His father had wanted him a solider and ended up making him a trained bounty hunter that had to obey commands. He shook his head as he looked at the fear and worry in her eyes. Something was going on with this female and those eyes had him captured in more ways then just one.

The female finally said okay to a nice meal. It looked like she needed it. He was a killer by trade yes but that didn't mean he couldn't be kind. She gave her name as Styx before she poassed out in his arms suddenly. He looked around noticing that they weren't too far from his shuttle. Though he had a blace to sleep in it he didn't have a place to actually cook. Still he bundled her up in his arms as she was sound asleep and them walked into his shuttle putting her on the bed and covering him up. He closed the doors once more. This was probably the safest place for anyone to be sleeping in the first place. His shuttle would alert him of intruders or any going ons because that was how it had been made. He walked off to go and get some drinks and food. He was still waiting for the picture of the escapee and other such things. Of course he wasn't getting that information at all.

It took him all of about twenty minutes to be back in his shuttle with the food waiting for when she woke up. He was tinkering with his computer and trying to figure out what else was going on on Persephone tha he might want to watch out for. After all some of the alliance agents were idiots and he always loved seeing what trouble they would be getting themselves into. However it was relatively quiet at the moment so he was bored and he hoped that his boredom would not last long to say the least.
