Armada

“So, Jinkage, are you one of them?” asked Kira as he flipped on the windshield wipers.
“Just call me Kage, and no; I'm just a monk from a local temple.” Jinkage replied.
“So where are we headed?” he asked.
Kira focusing on the road because of the heavy rain, replied “The library, I need to learn more about Armada – specifically it's location.”
Jinkage laughed, “I doubt you will find anything in a library – it's a highly secretive company.”
Kira sighed, “You're probably right, but it's a start, and I don't suppose you know a better place to look.”
“Actually...” chuckled Jinkage
“Actually?” replied Kira
Jinkage smiled and said, “Nagoya.”

Kira slammed the breaks, “Nagoya? You mean... It's there?”

“Yeah, but – you know how to get there right? I sure don't.” continued Jinkage.
“Kind of, but I know someone who knows much more about Nagoya than I do.”
Kira quickly spun the car completely around, spraying mud in all directions – and floored the gas
driving all the way back up the hill until he reached the Kinakata shrine, stopping and jumping out of the car. “Wait here.” he said as he ran to the gate, stumbling along the way

“Minoko!” he shouted, “Minoko!!”
Ms. Kinakata ran outside to Kira, “What's all the racket boy? Minoko isn't home.

Kira looked at her obviously very distraught and pleaded, “Ms. Kinakata? Where is she? I need her help, it's Kin!”

She looked at him with a puzzled expression, “You mean that cute little boy that was here a few days ago? What's wrong? Did he get sick from all those cookies?”

Kira lowered his head in grief, “No... Someone kidnapped him... and I wasn't strong enough to save him.” a single tear rolled down Kira's cheek.

“Oh dear! Did you call the police?” asked Ms. Kinakata

Kira persisted, “No, I can't... I can't do that.”

Ms. Kinakata looked at him angrily, “Just why not? Do I have to do it myself?”

“No!” shouted Kira, “You... you just don't understand... Kin – he isn't... he isn't human! The police would only laugh. Look, Ms. Kinakata, I don't expect you to believe me, but I don't have time. Please... please tell me where Minoko is.”

Tears continued to roll down Kira's face, he was so stressed right now. Ms. Kinakata put her hands on her sides and said, “Come with me boy.”

She beckoned to him as she walked towards the shrine in the back, past the flower garden
“Look there child.” she pointed towards the center of the shrine, where Minoko was sitting in a lotus position, with a slight glow to her flesh, apparently in some kind of trance.

“What is she doing?” Kira asked, just them Jinkage walked up behind him and said “She is trying to calm the spirits. This storm isn't natural, and she knows this.”

Surprised, Kira jumped, and quickly turned around, “I-I thought I asked you to wait in the car. How did you get back here?”

Jinkage tilted his head, confused, “Oh. You mean my sight...”

Ms. Kinakata interrupted, “Vision is not the only sense my child. It would do you well to remember that.” she walked up to Jinkage and smiled, “Greetings monk, I am Kinakata Amaterasu, one of the keepers of this shrine.” Jinkage smiled, “Ah, like the Sun Goddess. I am honored. I am Ito Jinkage.”
she then turned to Kira, and said, “Yes dear, Jinkage-san is correct, she is trying to calm the spirits in my place. I am far too old and she was worried that I might not survive the trance. Though she may not be trained such as I, but her spirit is strong and she just might succeed. What did you need from her child?”

“Please, Ms. Kinakata, this may sound crazy – but you must believe me. Kin was taken by... and angel; and angel named Turiel; and to find him I need to get to Nagoya and find a company called Armada.”

“Arch-Malakim Turiel...” she seemed bothered when Kira mentioned that name.

Kira suddenly got tense and shouted, “How is it everyone knows about this stuff except me?!”
Jinkage chuckled at Kira, and Ms. Kinakata turned to him and said

“Kira, you have never been a very spiritual person, but you've always had a strong soul, I can tell.
Perhaps I can help you in place of Minoko while she is in trance.” Ms. Kinakata smiled at Kira and continued, “Kira, don't you have family in Nagoya? How could you not know how to get there?”

Kira looked at the ground, “Yes... My parents live there, but I have never been very close with them. I never had any reason to visit.”

Ms. Kinakata smiled at Kira before heading inside the house, “I'll be back in a moment.”

Jinkage looked at Kira and asked, “Pardon my curiosity – but what happened between you and your parents?”

Kira snapped, unnaturally disturbed by the question, “Look Kage! We don't have time to share life stories! We need to get to Nagoya!”

Jinkage shook his head, “Don't be too hasty, it's likely to get you killed Kira.”

Kira, shocked, looked at him and shouted, “How could I not be hasty? Nagoya is miles away and we have no idea what Turiel could be doing to Kin right now, he could be dead!”

“Turiel won't kill Tsukikazu; he can't... he loves him.” replied Jinkage

Kira scowled and sent his fist flying towards Jinkage's face, and screamed, “...but, I love him!!”
Jinkage caught his fist in his right palm, twisted his staff, and swept Kira off of his feet, right into a mud puddle.
“Violence will get you no where Kira.” he said, as he extended his hand to help Kira up. Kira, grasping Jinkage's hand, crawled to his feet and said, “I'm sorry Kage... you're right.”

Not a moment later, Ms. Kinakata returned and looked a Kira, “Why are you so muddy boy? Well never mind, let's get going!”

“What about Minoko, will she be alright?” asked Kira.

“She will be fine, the shrine will protect her while she is in that trance.” replied Jinkage.

“...and don't worry Kira, if she does wake soon, I left her a note detailing everything.” added Ms. Kinakata, “We had better get going.”

“Right.” Kira said, as the three of them walked towards his car, and with Ms. Kinakata's directions – made their way to Nagoya.

Meanwhile...

“What are you going to do to me Turiel!” screamed Kin, securely tied by a leash and collar.

Turiel walked towards Kin, and gently glided his hand across his face, before deeply kissing him on the lips.

“My dear Tsukikazu - I have missed you so...”

“Don't touch me!” screamed Kin, pushing Turiel away with all his might.

“Do you not love me my dear Tsukikazu? We have such – memories.” Turiel slowly approached him
again. “...because I still love you.” Turiel grabbed Kin's hands and tied them together with a long piece of nylon.

Kin cried out, “W-what are you going to do to me Turiel?! Let me go!”

Turiel chuckled as he started to remove his own clothes, “I think not...”

Kin looked at Turiel's half-naked body, “Don't come near me Turiel!” he demanded.
Turiel smiled maliciously, as he stepped closer to Kin, running his hands over Kin's delicate body
Kin screamed, “No! Get away from me!” Turiel pressed his head against Kin's body, slowly sliding down to his knees.

He pulled another strip if nylon out, and tied Kin's feet together, unlatching his collar, and carefully placing him down on the floor. Again, Turiel chuckled, as he eyed Kin's tense and frightened body.

“I do believe you've grown more beautiful since I last laid my eyes on you...” said Turiel seductively as he got down on his knees over Kin.

“Please... no...” begged Kin as he turned his head away from Turiel.
“Why don't you want me?!” shouted Turiel; grabbing Kin's jaw, forcing Kin to face him so he could steal another kiss.

“Stop it... please...” Kin begged.

Turiel glared angrily at him, and violently began to remove his clothes, “I will have you tonight, Tsukikazu.” he said; steadily moving one of his hands down Kin's body.
Kin looked at Turiel – his eyes filled with fear.
Turiel whispered into his ear, “You're body is so... lovely.” and continued to move his hand down Kin's body, and passionately; he caressed his thigh...

“Please, Turiel... don't” tears were rolling down Kin's cheeks as Turiel touched his body.

Turiel said not a word, and started to work his way down Kin's body with his tongue, circling his nipples on the way down. Kin, closing his eyes tried to ignore the situation, since he knew there was nothing he could do to stop him now.

“Are you enjoying yourself my dear Tsukikazu?” whispered Turiel.

Kin cringed at the thought, and suddenly gasped, his eyes bursting open in shock as he felt Turiel's tongue fondling the head of his shaft.

“Turiel! Please quit... I don't want this!” pleaded Kin.

“...but I do.” said Turiel, before wrapping his lips around Kin's phallus and massaging it with his tongue.

Turiel began to slide it in and out of his mouth, as more tears welled out of Kin's eyes. Turiel crawled up Kin's sprawled out being, forcing another kiss out of him, before flipping him around onto his stomach, kneading at his tender derrière.

Kin gasped, “No – Turiel, don't!!” and began struggling to his best effort.

Turiel looked at him and said, “Please forgive me, Tsukikazu” before punching him; stunning him for a brief time.

“T-Turiel... p-please...” pleaded Kin desperately.

Turiel, now furious – shouted, “No... Tsukikazu – I WILL have you!” and he forced himself upon Kin.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

After a few hours on the road, Kira and the others finally arrived in Nagoya.

“We should check into a hotel, huh? There's no telling how long we'll be here.” said Kira, before realizing Jinkage, and Ms. Kinakata were both sound asleep, Kira looked over them and simply smiled
at them, before heading to the first hotel he saw. Kira pulled into the parking lot and tried to wake the others, “Guys? We're here. Wake up!” said Kira – but they were out like rocks, so he left them in the car, and entered the office to check out a room for himself.
“Hey – How much for the night?”

“Do you have a reservation, sir?” asked the receptionist.

“No.” replied Kira
“Very well – give me a moment to check the system for any available rooms we might have.”
After a few moments, the receptionist replied, “We have a few rooms available at 5600 yen per night. Will that be alright, sir?”

“Hmm? Oh... Yeah – sorry.”
“Is everything alright sir?”
Kira looked at her and said, “Yeah, here; 5600 yen.” as Kira handed her the money she said
“Thank you. Can you please sign these papers?”
Kira took the papers, and signed them. As he handed them back to her, she handed him the key card
“Here is your key, room 121 on the first level.”

“Alright, Thank you” said Kira, as he headed down the corridor to his room.

As he entered his room he looked around, “It'll do I suppose.”
Kira threw his luggage on the floor and jumped onto his bed, where he just laid on his back, with his hands behind his head.

“Kin...” he said to himself, staring at the ceiling, “I wish I was strong enough to save you – how will you ever forgive me?”

“Talking to yourself Kira?” asked Jinkage as he entered the room.

“Damn Kage, are you sure you're blind?” Kira looked surprised that Jinkage had found the room so quickly

Jinkage laughed, “I have my ways.”
Kira chuckled, “Alright then. Hey, where is Ms. Kinakata?”
“She is getting her own room. Apparently the only vacant rooms are these honeymoon suites, and they only have one bed.”

“Yeah – and you got a separate room too right?” asked Kira reluctantly.
Jinkage replied, “Nope, we monks don't have much in the way of worldly possessions – including money.”
“Um... So where are you sleeping then?” asked Kira.
Jinkage grinned at Kira, removed his over shirt, and jumped into the bed next to him.
“Right here, I suppose!”

“This is going to be a rough night.” said Kira to himself; rolling his eyes.

Moments later, Ms. Kinakata entered the room, and chuckled at the two lying in the bed,
and Kira quickly jumped out of bed; pretending Ms. Kinakata hadn't seen anything.

“Kira-kun, you silly boy! I just wanted to say, we still need to find someone to get you two into Armada, so in the meantime. It may be a good idea to visit your parents, probably tomorrow while me and Jinkage-san do a little searching.”

“I-I suppose... Are you not coming to Armada with us Ms. Kinakata?” asked Kira

“I'm far too old to be infiltrating companies, and besides I thought I might visit a friend of mine while I was here. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for any useful information, well goodnight boys!” and she pranced out the door, closing it behind her.

Kira, not paying attention – said, “I guess I could see the folks then, Goodnight Ms. - err...” but he spoke to late, Ms. Kinakata was already gone. So he turned, and looked at the bed – and Jinkage who was lying comfortably on it.

“Well... Goodnight Kage.”

“Goodnight, Kira.” Jinkage grinned, removed his undershirt and pulled a sheet over him.
Kira just glanced at him for a moment, as he too, removed his shirt and crawled into bed next to Jinkage.

Jinkage switched off the lamp, and turned towards Kira, “So you really love Tsukikazu, huh?”

“I do.” replied Kira. “I love him... more than anything.”

Jinkage placed his hand on Kira's shoulder, “Don't worry Kira, we'll get him back, alright?”
Kira smiled and gave Jinkage a warm hug before turning around and falling asleep – Jinkage quickly followed.
