Mad Jack

I watched as the minions shackled the Wind Elemental into place, stretching her arms overhead and securing the chain on a bolted plate in a rafter above before skittering away into the darkness. She was beautiful, yes, but quite the nuisance. All that it'd take is getting my original here and they would be quickly be put to death.

But not before I'd had my fun with her.

Ekirei sat perched on a flame-colored boulder nearby, giving me quite the view up her short, tight, leather skirt. Briefly, I wondered if she tasted as delicious as she looked, but shoved the thought away in favor of focusing on the job I had to do first. Eki was as beautiful as her original and unfortunately, just as annoying when she wanted to be. If not for that, I might have considered bedding her.

"Let's get this show on the road already, geeze." she griped.

"Patience, Eki. Lord Aku will begin her torture soon enough."

"Not soon enough for me. I wanna see the little bitch squirm."

I chuckled and sat next to her, watching the little angel dangle from her chains, a thin trickle of blood trailing down from above her temple, down her cheek and jaw, and on down her neck. Between Aku's magic and the blow I had dealt her, she would remain unconscious for some time, which was fine with me, so long as she woke up before my original arrived.

Eki tapped her nails on the boulder for a bit before pausing and looking over at me. I didn't see her look, ignoring her in favor of watching her original hang there, imagining the fun I was going to have when she woke up. However, I didn't see her move behind me, either, or feel her hands roam across my back and over my chest.

At least, not until her hand had made its way down into the front of my pants.

"EKI!" I roared.

I cursed her loudly as I tore her hand away, watching her retreat back to her own boulder. She giggled mischieviously as I adjusted my pants, her gaze fixed on my crotch. Ever since I'd chased her from my castle in the mountains, she'd made it a point to make my life a frustrated hell by teasing me every chance she got.

Oh, how I hated her for doing that. Every opportune moment for her to fuck with me was at the worst possible time for me. I knew that she was only doing it to break me, to see how long it would take me before I finally gave in and took her, just to shut her the hell up, but she would have to do more than gropes and panty shots to drive me that far.

"Gotcha." she said with a nasty grin.

I shifted a bit and went back to watching Chimitsu, feeling more than a bit uncomfortable now.

"Bitch." I muttered under my breath, hoping she wouldn't hear it.

She continued to watch me with a grin on her face until Chimitsu began to stir, thrashing against her chains as if she'd been possessed. Actually, it almost would have been even more fun if she had been possessed, but Elementals were almost impossible for demons to possess. Usually the purity of a Light Elemental would vaporize any demon that tried, which really took all the fun out of it.

She thrashed and screamed unearthly screams, sending shivers of delight down my spine as I watched. Oh yes, whatever Lord Aku was making her see in her unconsciousness was doing the trick quite well. Eki seemed to be very interested as well, momentarily stopping her torment of me to watch.

I could see her power flare up, wings stretching out, but of little use to her when she was chained down. The chains rattled noisily as she struggled and screamed, the wooden rafter creaking overhead. I was mildly surprised, but didn't worry, knowing that her power was weaker here in Lord Aku's domain. She wouldn't be able to break the chains or the rafter by any means.

Eventually, she stopped, hanging there with tears streaming down her face, still unconscious. She'd either exhausted herself or Lord Aku had seen fit to finish her torment, which was a pity. She'd been quite entertaining to watch while under torture.

But...that meant that it was our turn now.

"Any sign of the original?" I asked Eki.

"Hell no. You know he ain't gonna come for her, MJ."

I laughed off the thought, much to her dismay.

"He'll come for her. He knows it's a trap, but he'll still come. His "honor" won't allow him to leave her to us."

"How can you be so sure?"

"I can feel it. He's left the Highlands by now. Left hours ago."

"Does he know where to go?"

"He knows. He'll follow the connection between us all the way here."

"How long 'till he gets here?"

"Don't know, don't care. Just as long as it gives me enough time to play with our little playmate here."

"Can I watch?"

"No. You...are to watch for the original and bring him to me when he arrives. I don't want him to miss the show."

"Oh, so the original can watch, but I can't, huh?"

"Not the opening act, but don't worry...I think you'll enjoy the feature presentation."

She poutily slunk away, leaving me to her original. She'd be waking up soon and I had just barely enough time to ready myself. She was going to get the shock of a lifetime when she came around, if she didn't figure it out first. With Aku's power permeating every inch of this fortress, I doubted she would.

I changed into a white kimono identical to my original's and drew my hair back into a topknot like his, using the tiniest amount of magic to make it look as if I had been fighting my way to her. Now, all she had to do was wake up and the fun would begin.

I waited for a few moments before finally, the twin emerald orbs opened, clouded with pain and the fading effects of Aku's magic. I leaned in towards her, tenderly caressing her face, hiding my true intentions. Her eyes widened with recognition and even a bit of hope. It was going to be ecstatic to watch that hope crumble to ash.

"Jack....?" she asked weakly.

"It is me. Are you all right?"

"Oh goddess, I had the worst nightmare. I dreamt that I fought your double and was brought to Aku's castle..."

"You were brought to Aku's castle, but fear not, I am here now."

She looked around, fear showing a little bit in her eyes when she saw that she was being held in Aku's torture chamber. Poor baby. Too bad she wasn't about to see anything else ever again before we had her destroyed.

"How'd you get here without Aku knowing?"

"I have my ways. He is...occupied for awhile, so we will have plenty of time to get you out of here."

"Good. Cut me loose so we don't waste any time."

Oh, but I couldn't do that. That would ruin all my fun. I paused, my expression darkening while I searched along my connection to my original to find anything I could use against her. Perfect.

"Jack....what's wrong?" she asked.

"What is wrong? What is wrong is that you are always depending on me."

"Depending on you? I've been taking care of you!"

"Oh? If you were going to take care of me, then why did you foolishly fight Mad Jack and leave me alone with the Scots? Did you think that I would not be able to handle him?"

"You were injured! You weren't in any condition to fight anyone. I had to do something to keep him away!"

It was all I could do to keep from laughing. Oh, this was just too good to be true! She really thought I was Minamoto and was pouring her heart out in defending herself to me.

"I am samurai! Injury means nothing to me! I fight when I am needed, no matter what the cost!"

"Minamoto-chan...what's gotten into you? I know you were reluctant to rest, but you knew that pushing yourself wouldn't do any good."

"And neither does relying on you. Some help you were. You could not even do a proper healing. You had to do it in small parts."

"You know as well as I do that I had my own injuries to recover from and had to keep you alive long enough to get help. Did you want me to completely drain myself into a coma and make our recovery time even longer?"

"But at least I could have fought to defend you. Men should not be defended by women. They should defend the women instead!"

Her eyes widened. Knowing my chivalrous original, he would never have dared to say such a thing to her. He may have believed in defending a lady, but he also recognized when a lady could defend herself and respected that.

"Minamoto-kun...."

"You are useless, woman. You cannot heal, you cannot protect, and you cannot fight. Look at you. You hang there, helpless, weak, needing a man to come and free you."

Crystalline tears welled up in her eyes, spilling freely down her cheeks as she heard this. Oh, I wished that I could've laughed, but that would only spoil my act. It wouldn't do to have her figure everything out so soon.

I reached up and gently wiped away the tears, watching her expression cloud with confusion. She clearly didn't know what to think or say to me. Her chivalrous hero, suddenly turning cold and hateful. Of course it wouldn't make sense...because it wasn't him.

"You even put so much on your own shoulders that you are willing to wear yourself down for the sake of keeping me on my quest. So unselfish, so loving...it is your only good quality. The way a woman should be."

"That's not all that we women are. We do love unconditionally, unselfishly, but we also protect, comfort, and heal. We aren't weak or useless, you even said that yourself."

"I lied. But that is all right. Everything will be made right again as soon as we are out of here and as soon as Aku is destroyed. But I need the Star of the Elements first."

"I don't have it. Your double asked that of me in battle and Aku's minions searched me, but I simply don't have it."

"But I need it if I am to defeat Aku."

"I'm sorry, but the time isn't right. It's not time for you to use the Star, so I cannot give it to you."

"I see. A pity. Without it, I cannot defeat Aku and without his defeat, we can never be free."

"This isn't like you, Jack. You never give up! Why are you giving up now, just because you don't have the Star?"

"Because an item like that carries great power, power enough to destroy Aku and send me back home."

"You know that the Star can't send you back home. I already told you that when I first told you about the Star and its power. Besides...power doesn't necessarily mean strength. I thought you knew that."

Shit! I had searched through the connection to his memory, but not far enough. I had to cover and I had to cover fast. No problem. Stay cool, and she wouldn't get even the least bit suspicious.

"Of course, but...this is Aku we are talking about. He is powerful and power is what we need to defeat him. Chimitsu-chan...."

I gently caressed her teary face, seeing worry and fear in her eyes. She was frightened. She was scared to be in this place of torment and clearly thinking about whatever it was Aku had done to her. It was probably for the best that we hadn't seen it. When he chooses to torment someone through their mind, they never come out with their sanity intact.

She didn't cringe under my touch, which meant that she didn't have a clue who I really was. Last time, she'd been able to smell out the difference without even getting close to me. Now, I was inches away from her and she didn't know the difference. Aku's presense was much too strong and it covered the darkness in my own essense.

"Minamoto-chan...please...get me outta here. Let's go before they find you here." she said, the tears flowing again.

I gently wiped them away, leaning close to her. Oh, this was going to be fun! If only Eki would stay away long enough and not screw this up... If she showed up with my original now, my ruse would be spoiled and I wouldn't be able to enjoy all the fun from this.

"Chimitsu-chan...."

"Jack....please...let's get out of here. You're no use to the world dead."

Ohhh, this was too much! The Elemental was in love with my original and he hadn't a clue! I searched through his memories as best I could, but he didn't know that she was falling in love with him. And to make it even more delicious, it seemed that my original was falling in love with her.

I laughed mentally to myself, knowing that this was the icing on the cake. All Eki had to do was stay away just a bit longer and I would be able to crush the delicate Elemental. A pity she wouldn't be able see me break her original, but Eki had other things to do and her presense would ruin everything.

"Ai shiteru..."[1] I whispered before kissing her savagely.

She squealed in surprise beneath the kiss as my tongue snaked into her mouth, my hands holding her head tightly against mine. I knew that my original didn't know how to kiss like that and that she would likely figure it out, but it didn't matter now. She was going to be broken and if I had my way, she wouldn't trust my original again after this. After all, he lied to her about his feelings, why would she have any reason to trust what he said now?

I broke away, breathing hard, seeing a sorrowful look in her eyes. Not bad for such an innocent little thing, but she and my original certainly deserved each other. However, the kiss was enough to make her suspicious. My original wasn't bold enough to kiss her, much less kiss her like that.

"Wait a minute. You're not Minamoto-chan." she said.

"What? Why would you say that? Of course it is me."

"No you're not. Jack wouldn't have kissed me like that. He's much too polite and gentlemanly to do that. He wouldn't talk about women like that, either. He respects women."

"My beloved Chimitsu-chan..."

"Don't call me that! You don't deserve to call me that, you bastard!"

I growled softly, not liking her defiant tone. This wasn't what I had in mind when I had kissed her. It appeared that I hadn't broken her at all, only made her stronger and more defiant. Damnit all anyways. Hnf. Fine. She knew I wasn't Minamoto, and that was just fine. Playtime was over.

I quickly teleported my own clothes back on, the white kimono melting away as my hair broke free from the topknot, spilling down around my shoulders. I swung around hard as I could, backhanding her across the face, watching as her head snapped to the side. She stayed there for a moment with a red mark growing into a bruise on her jaw, only to turn around and glare at me with sheer hatred, those emerald green eyes sparking furiously.

"You're getting much too spunky for your own good, Chimitsu. Keep that up and you might not live long enough to regret it." I snarled.

"Oh, I'm sure you already had that in mind, Mad Jack. I should have known you would have tried some shit like that with me. You're very predictable, you know that?"

"But you have to admit, you enjoyed that kiss, didn't you?"

"Oh hell no. I've met slaves who kiss better than you do."

I snarled and raised my hand again, ready to slap her, only to be interrupted by Ekirei's arrival.

"Am I interrupting some kinky fun here?" she asked.

I was about to reprimand her for mouthing off, only to see that she had successfully brought down my original. He dangled over her shoulder and wings, completely unconscious. Perfect. Now that real fun was about to begin.

"Not at all. Was he much trouble?"

"Nope. Where do ya want him?"

"Hang him facing the other wall. He can be yours to toy with while I have my fun with her."

Eki grinned and began to secure my original into place while I turned back to Chimitsu, grinning nastily. I could see the fear in her eyes and that was just fine with me. The more fear she was feeling, the more fun this would be for me.

"Now, precious angel...the real fun begins...."
