yelled to them, her voice reverberating down the stone hall.
It was quiet for two seconds before Scott replied in a normal voice, “Bitch! We were just starting to have fun.”
These two human males were not scared in the least. It was obvious to Kamiko Kana this was a tight group. She had heard the comment about Hichoi, so they were very aware of the danger and yet had attacked her group anyway.
Kamiko Kana had been asleep for the last three days. She had planned on sleeping another two before going back to the mainland for an update from one of her slaves in the Chinese military.
When the destruction happened to her front door, it had taken them too long to respond. They had gotten too lax and been too trusting of their defenses. How this group had passed them, she didn’t know. She would make sure to learn before she allowed this woman in the middle to leave.
Properly subdued, of course.
As she settled in Kamiko Kana could hear the one on her left, the dark one, talk about taking out the guards in front of him. Then she heard the comment about the woman taking her on in a disgusting exhibition.
That would not happen! To her surprise, the leader kept no discipline and even joked with the two men.
Her anger burst from her, “ENOUGH!” She was surprised when within a mere couple of seconds, the white male called her a bitch. Her eyes narrowed, he would be tortured for days before his death. But, his death was foretold as sure as she was sitting on her throne.
She let the silence drag. Long enough to assure no more insulting remarks, but not long enough to tempt the two humans into doing it again.
Kamiko Kana eyed the female, “Your name?”
The woman in front of her smiled. Kamiko wasn’t sure this is what she wanted. Fear, of course. Hesitation perhaps. But definitely not smiling. What was going on here?
The woman spoke, “My name is Gabrielle. I am the Daughter of Stephen who is the brother of Michael.” There was a small gasp from her men. Michael was mostly a rumor on this side of the world. Unlike most of her men, Kamiko Kana knew him to be real, not just a tale told about the origins of Vampires. Her mother had spent a night with him.
Then, her mother had died because of him. In the flames and wreckage of the bombing of Nagasaki.
Oh yes, Kamiko Kana knew the name of Michael.
She spoke, “Michael has no brothers.”
The woman raised an eyebrow, “No wonder you try to carve your own little fiefdom. You are so woefully ignorant of the bigger world. A little girl who would make herself Queen.”
She was getting irritated. This peasant woman was going to sit in the sun… Kamiko Kana’s face became a little tighter. Stephen was known to be able to walk in the sun. That meant that this woman was most likely who she said she was.
That put her at just two steps from Michael himself and a very, very strong opponent. “We in the East do not recognize any above us but our own. I am the Queen, and you have made the mistake of coming into my own lands to say what?”
“You are to immediately cease your Vampire-on-Vampire violence and retract your political ambitions.” Gabrielle told her.
“Or?” Kamiko Kana asked.
The black man grunted, “There is no ‘or’.” He replied to her, “They will stop.”
Kamiko Kana noticed Gabrielle rolling her eyes and asked her, “You cannot stop your own men from commenting?”
“Who said they were my men?” She answered Kamiko Kana.
Kamiko Kana motioned to the two, “They are here as your support, you lead from the front so they are your men.”
Gabrielle laughed, her sound carrying the thirty feet easily, “I lead the operation you immature bitch! These two are from the Queen’s Own. I’m not here to deal with you, I’m here to try to protect you from them!” Her last notes were almost a snarl of
