Chapter 14


"I swear I am gonna kill him!" Angel growled threw gritted teeth as her black hair was being pulled back into a long ponytail, several people ran around behind or in front of her. "This can't be happening." She thought hands gripping onto the hem of a short kimono dress she wore, the pattern made up of many stars shooting across the fabric and leaving a trail behind them. The colors of hot pink fading to a soft blue or maybe purple left Angel wondering how could anyone have so many colors on one outfit?

Yet the big black bow sitting just above her ass felt as if it was drawing every guys eyes right to her, "Alright now tilt your head back honey." A woman spoke pulling Angels chin up while another woman added a white bow to her ponytail with long ribbon tails on each side. "Shooting Star your on in twenty minutes!" A male wearing a headset shouted from the other side of the door to the dressing room, Angel groaned closing her eyes when seeing at least three makeup brushes coming near her face.

Mind drifting back to the Devil May Cry shop in the early morning hours, Morrison came knocking as Angel was busy sweeping the floor. Leaving a grumpy Dante snoozing in his office chair, yet Morrison was not alone when a young blonde haired man appeared behind him and the men took a seat on the near by couches. "Well you see Shooting Star or as known to me as Amber was jumping from show to show, she never really seem to stop cause she said if she did then she would be letting her fans down." The blonde hair male spoke gripping his hands together tightly and his dark green eyes staring heavily into the table in front of him.

"So you got a pop star who is now hiding cause she has over done it, no big deal there." Dante muttered holding a piece of paper with having a young girls face on it, "No....your wrong...she is still trying to do her shows but something happen at the last show that makes us think that someone or something is targeting her." The man said jumping a bit when Angel placed a cup of coffee in front of him as she had done so for the others.

Something seem to be weighing heavily on the young man's mind, that much Angel could pick up though maybe it was also the fact of how this man seem to care for the young troubled girl."Targeting her how?" Dante asked laying the paper he was holding onto the table giving Angel a chance to see it, oddly enough it felt as if she was looking into a mirror when the girl on the paper looked like her just with out the red streak of hair. "This is twilight level of being creeped out." She thought holding a sigh in fearing it would break the unsettling silence around them.

"First there was just some hate letters but there is now been people coming to the show dropping off gift boxes, inside have been....well so far it was just random animal heads but this last time....it was one of our cast members head in the box." The man choked out closing his eyes tightly with tears leaking down his face, "Someone or something is out there meaning to cause harm and all she wanted was to sing and dance!" The man almost shouted out moving his hands to grip his head.

"So what do you think Dante? Could this be the work of a demon?" Morrison asked rubbing his own chin and passing some photos to Dante of the disturbing gift boxes, "Hard to say but if another show happens then it could lead to more deaths among the crew or worse." Dante grumbled placing a hand threw his unruly hair, seem he was more put off by the case then wanting to help the man out. "How about we get someone to take her place and hold it outside so if someone or something attacks, it will be easier to take them down?" Angel spoke up drawing each one of the males awareness to her, Angel blinked slowly tilting her head confused to what they were thinking or more of planning at this point.

"Alright headset and you remember all the moves?" A woman asked placing a mic piece near Angel's mouth and carefully placing it around her hair, "Yes." Angel muttered softly opening her eyes standing up from the makeup chair. Time was moving around Angel slowly while she stood off side of the outdoor stage, a few bands had played ahead of her to allow time for Angel to be ready to play her part of Shooting Star. Carefully placing a hand around her right side feeling the cool metal press into her soft warm skin, if she was playing the part of bait, she was going to need something to fight back with.

She had faced many people who were after her life so why was this time different? She had Dante standing backstage, this time she would not be alone, swallowing the lump in her throat recalling the moment before she was pulled into the dressing room.

"Angel no matter what happens, I won't let anyone or anything touch you." Dante muttered near her and with swift movement grabbed her wrist, opening her mouth to object yet was quickly closed feeling his arms wrap around her small frame body. Feeling the warmth from his body sipping into her own, the effect it was having on her was mind blowing, sadness washed over her when he pulled away to take his place among the backstage crew.

"What an awesome band! But we really all know why you guys are here am I right?" A male with black hair talked into a microphone as he was wearing some kind of tux yet it was mixed with a jester outfit as well, seem like a mad hatter mash up when you thought of it. "This is a new song written and will be sung by yours truly! Welcome Shooting Star!" The male shouting while quickly jogging off stage with Angel taking a deep breath steadily walking onto the stage.

The lights had dimmed low but flashes of red shone threw leaving Angel to recall where she was to step while the start of the music played, it was low at first but grew and almost seem to give a chill down your spine upon hearing it play.

"I'll endure the exile......I'll endure the exile..." Angel spoke softly and gently into the microphone, taking a deep breath as the music sped up and started sounding more like a metal rock concert. "The darkness of night falls around my soul, and the hunter within loses control! Gotta let it out - gotta let it out! Gotta let it out - gotta let it out! " Angel sung at the top of her lungs walking to the edge of the stage giving a small wave to some of the girl fans along with a quick wink to few male fans, "This demon inside has ahold of me! Clenching its power - trying to break free! Gotta let it out - gotta let it out! Gotta let it out - gotta let it out!"

Jumping from side to side a bit, trying to make it at least look she wasn't some person who just spent the last two days learning moves to a new song, "Move fast, baby! Don't be slow! Step aside, reload, time to go! I can't seem to control, All this rage thats inside me!" She sung stepping backwards before doing a small twirl allowing the short kimono dress to flutter out. Unaware of the fact that a near by demon hunter stood watching her with careful eye's, minus the fact his cheeks were burning a lovely color pink.

"Pullin' shots - aimin' dots! Yeah I don't miss!" Angel sang pretending her finger and hand were a gun thus giving a small smile at the end, "Branded by fire - born in the abyss! Red hot temper, I just can't resist! All this vengeance inside me!" Angel sang wrapping her arms around her self carefully backing up with her hands moving to her head. "All of these thoughts runnin' through my head! Arm on fire, veins burnin' red! Frustration is gettin' bigger!"

Right about now Angel was sure, somewhere, someone was watching her closely. "Bang! Bang! Bang! Pull my Devil Trigger!" Making a fake gun with her hand again as she sang the next part along with moving her hand in-tune to the words, paying attention to everything around her never missing a beat of the song or the words she was suppose to be singing. Who or whatever this thing was, was just staying in the darkness not allowing its self to be seen.

"Its like that annoying itch you get in the middle of your back that is just out of reach." Angel thought breathing threw her nose and opened her mouth to sign the next part when she was cut off from a sudden scream, throwing her head up looking for anything that wasn't part of the show. Eye's landed on top of a light in the higher set of the stage, showed a silver colored hair man standing with one arm wrapped around the neck of a young red-haired woman.

At first glance Angel thought it was Dante but something in the pit of her stomach told her other wise, the man jumped down landing just a few steps from her while allowing the red hair womans body to fall onto the floor of the stage. "Angel get out of there!" Dante's voice hollered into her ear from the headset, knowing she should though it felt as if her feet were frozen to the floor. "Ahhh young Angel....I thought maybe I had the wrong girl but yet here you are." The man spoke taking a step closer to her, "Who are you?" Angel choked out feeling as if she was staring death in the face and in one split second the man was in front of her.

His golden color eyes staring into her red ones, the glow from his were unnatural and felt as he could see right threw her. Many say the eyes are a gateway to the soul or you could read someone's life threw their eyes, Angel wanted to look away though it seem she was locked in place. Fear, death, power, these all seem to float threw his eyes, but the most powerful one was that of Hunger! The hunger of wanting, the need to gain something, sadly Angel couldn't figure out what it was.

"I am the one who will help set you free and in turn you will help me take over this world." The man spoke slowly drawing his fingers up along one of her arms, it felt as ice icicles were stabbing her skin and drew the very warmth from her body. "By the way my name is Kuro." He whispered with his hand dancing along her chin line, seconds ticked by, Angel felt standing any closer to this man caused her fear to take over. Raising her hands and shoving him away to put space between the two, sadly in the same movement he reached up grabbing her by the throat. "The time is coming and you won't be able to run away forever." Kuro whispered to her, "Time for what? This man....I need to get away....Dante...help....me" Angel thought clawing at the hand holding her throat, yet all that changed when her vision turned to darkness. A transient image of her mother passing threw her mind for a mere second, would this be the end?
