The night is young

"Nothing to worry about here, its just some hole in the wall club i own, like i said the only immortal thing in this club is going to be me, and we will receive the royal treatment as always, nothing less." she giggled and walked through the doors of the club, inside it was full of people all bustling with laughter and drunkenness, the people paid no mind to her as they shouldnt have to anyway, she walked to the back and sat down at a booth that already had a few bottles of liquor on ice and a sign that said "Reserved" rush who had been following her the whole time took a seat at the far end and poured himself a shot and downed it, he then pulled out a fine french cigar and lit it, he kicked back and relaxed, Alisa followed suit, she lit another cigarette and propped her feet up on the table as well, she took a drag and flicked some ash in the ashtray, she poured herself a tall glass of alcohol and began to sip on it.

Daniel just pours himself a small glass from a bottle and nurses it. “You know, before I meet you I was never much of a drinker, I think I have had more to drink with you then I have had in the past three months.” He takes a sip from his drink. Part of the reason for his increased consumption was the fact that liquor seemed to flow in an infinite wellspring whenever Alisa was around, but another reason was that the liquor was certainly of a much higher quality than the cheap crap he had access to before. “And I certainly never put out on the first date or let gay Frenchmen dress me up in leather. You really are corrupting my pure innocent soul into a naughty, naughty person aren’t you?” He chuckles and sets his drink down, ordering an appetizer.

"Trust me kid, youre gunna be way worse by the time this trip is over." Rush laughed, "Just wait till we get to tokyo, its gunna fuck you up two ways from sunday, hell it still does me and ive been there hundreds of times with sit..er...alisa and her crazy ass still makes me end up drunk and worshipping the porcelean gods for the next hour or so and ive gotta drive!" He laughed.

Alisa chimed in, "Ahhh yes good times in tokyo, the strange food, the racing, oh i love the racing, i love participating as well." She giggled.

"Just dont get the kid killed." He said jokingly and yet somewhat seriously, "Remember girl, hes still got blood." He laughed and took another shot and puff of his cigar.

"You do seem to enjoy driving a lot, and from what I've seen...and I've seen plenty. You are rather good at it too. I suppose I can understand the appeal. The power of the roaring motor, the roar of the engine, the squeal of the wheels as they speed across the pavement." Daniel had never actually been much of a racing fan, but he did consider himself rather good at seeing things from other people's perspective and did like to try new things. Though he didn't think he would participate in any of Alisa's racing while he still had a beating heart, not unless he got really drunk. "I didn't know racing was such a big thing in Japan though, I would have thought the United States would be the place to be for people who wanted to burn rubber."

Alisa smiled, "Who said we were going in a straight line darling?" she took another sip of her drink, "Im sure you have heard of a sport called drifting, its rather massive on tokyo, it should be, it was invented there, i have several cars designed for this purpose, all, very, fast." Rush laughed, "There she goes with her damned cars again, ill take my sixty two caddy all day over some jap rig."

The waitress walked by and served them their appetizers, although alisa did not eat this time, not all food appealed to her, and she really didnt have to eat, she chose to because she liked the taste, her body could process the food, but unlike a mortal who turned it to waste, her body processed it all and used every bit of it, for the internals of a vampire were savage and destroyed everything that entered it.

Daniel did snack on the food. He was still mortal and he did still need to eat. That and having some food in his stomach would help him not get quite so wasted. Another side effect of immortality seemed to be the ability to drink as much as you wanted and not wake up with a hang offer. Since Daniel didn’t have that, and considering that he already wasn’t what one might call a morning….in this case early evening…person, he didn’t want to push it. “My car was a 1991 Saturn station wagon….I never really had the cash for some badass vintage car or a top of the lone model with every feature you could possible want. It did get me from point A to point B and it never broke down, so I suppose that is something.” He takes another sip of his drink. “Since you saw cars be created, this should be an interesting answer. What attracted you to the automobile in the first place?”

"Because the automobile is predictable, a simple machine will take you from point a to be, a nice model will get you from point a to b in style, and a fast one will get you into trouble." She laughed "I like the fact knowing the car is only as good as the driver, if you put someone who has never driven fast in their life in a fast car they are going to go fast and possibly wreck, but if you put someone with superhuman reflexes in a fast vehicle, the car will no longer drive, it will become poetic, it will put on a display greater than anything you have ever seen a vehicle do, come love, you already saw what i could do with a motorcycle, and even though your heart was in your throat at the same time you were awe struck and wanted more." She took another sip of her drink.

“Considering that right after we got off the motor cycle we got on a plane where you and three of your topless friends were dancing around me, I do have to admit that the thought of the motorcycle did not stick with me as long as it might have had otherwise.” He chuckles and nipples a bit on the food he ordered. “But yes, I remember the ride quite vividly. It’s odd, isn’t it, how life seems so very much more alive when you are in mortal danger? Not that I see myself ever becoming one of those people who puts themselves in harm’s way for fun, but I do have to say that a little more excitement hasn’t hurt me any.” He takes a sip of his drink. “I was a boring person. God awfully boring. If we had met in a club under different circumstances you properly would have moved on to someone else to drink from, someone more interesting. Funny the way Fate works out sometime, isn’t?

"Im sure i would have still drank from you you smelled sweet as you carried me." She licked her lips, "Just like humans can smell the difference between good and bad tasting food, so can i, i dont drink from anyone that doesnt appeal to me, your mind has nothing to do with your blood darling." She smiled as a waitress walked by and sat down a dark red drink on the table, she put some dry ice in it and the glass began to get cold as the fog poured out of it, she reached over and took a sip, she giggled and blew out some fog from her mouth, she took another sip and sat the glass down. "So lover im feeling spontaneous, why not leave tonight, its just five hours away, we would get back well in time before sunrise, what do you say, the night is young, why not be spontaneous?" She giggled.

“I think we haven’t done anything but be spontaneous sine we have meet, and it has worked out pretty well so far, so if it is not broke, why fix it?” He finishes his drink and the two head back out to the car, their destination being the airport followed by Tokyo. “I’m certainly not going to complain if you want to show me more of the world, there are places that I have never been and thought I would never see. I haven’t even seen the great cities of my own country, places like New York or Los Anglos. Traveling is another benefit to fucking the Queen of Darkness, huh?” He chuckles, pulling her into his lap this time as Rush drives. It’s possible that seeing this Rush decided to take some particularly bumpy roads, but it’s hard to be sure. Daniel wraps his arms around his lover and kisses her neck as they go.

She giggled, "You are such a bad boy!" She playfully slapped him across the cheek, "You have to behave in japan now, understand, I know how you american boys love the cute little japanese women and they do love their american boys as well." She giggled again as they returned to the hangar where their jet was waiting, the back end of the jet was open and a car was being loaded into it, it was a mazda RX-7 FD with a one of a kind body kit and paint job, the paint job was a mural of alisa laying on a couch completly naked on a bed of roses, the car was loud and low to the ground, it hummed up the ramp and was loaded into the jet, "Come on love, let go!" She squealed as she jumped out of the car and trotted playfully to the airplane.

Daniel’s jaw hits the floor, figuratively speaking, when he sees the car. Not so much because of how good of a car it is, Daniel was largely ignorant about the cream of the crop of the car world, but the mural on the body was stunning. The only thing that was capable of tearing his eyes away from it was the promise of seeing the real thing inside of the plane. Quickly jogging to catch up with his lover, Daniel enters the plane. “That car, a strangely to distract your opponents with your sheer beauty while you race?” He asks with a grin on his face, taking a seat on one of the leather seats as the plane gets ready to take off. “I can’t help but wonder if you have something up your sleeve for this flight, the last one was quite the experience.” His Immortal girlfriend always seemed to have some new surprise ready for him.

"We dont really have alot of time to have much fun." One of the topless flight attendants came out and handed alisa a dark red drink, and daniel a beer, "We will have plently of time for that when the sun rises, but tonight is my return, its a celebration really, rush is taking a separate flight and he will meet us at my villa, so why dont we just relax, we have been moving all day and im already anxious to see all my friends in tokyo theres an underground race tonight, and i intend to be there in top form, as for the mural, it was actually not decided by me, it was a gift from a very talented mechanic and painter, i cant resist someone admiring me in such a way he does, and he wanted to airbrush it onto a car, isnt it beautiful?" She smiled and took a sip of her drink as the flight attendant walked over and turned on some classical music on the sterio, she slipped off her boots and propped her feet up on the table, "This is going to be a short flight love you should get some rest."

Daniel does eye the topless flight attendant when she comes out. He is loyal to his lover and would never do anything behind her back with any woman, but he is still a man. When a beautiful woman like that walks out, her breasts free to the open air, it was incredibly hard to not at least look. He eyes slowly slide off of the employee and back to her boss. “Do you ever let them put a shirt on?” he asks with a smirk, as he takes off his own shoes and leans back on the couch he was on. “Yes, I think some sleep might be a good idea. A change in schedule and jet lag from going from America to Europe to Japan is a bit of a strain” He closes his eyes, and as the plane levels up and the engine hum becomes constant, he is soon in a light sleep. He looks so innocent and peaceful while he is asleep, perhaps the tiniest hint of a snore coming from him as he looks totally content. One of the topless attending lays a blanket over him once he is asleep, smiling at Alisa. “You certainly picked a good one this time, Majesty”

Alisa giggled, "Please darling, dont treat me like royalty i hate being called her majesty, call me alisa or sita, my birth name, in the least, and do get ready dear and tell the other two girls we are going to party tonight." The flight attendant walked off and the co pilot walked out, "So sita, were about four hours outside tokyo, and the airport has already cleared us for landing, should we wait for you at the hangar or will you be staying here for a while?" Alisa sat and thought for a second, then said, "I think ill stay for a while, ill see you and the pilot at the house, oh and do call james and tell him i have arrived safely, i havent talked to him this whole trip and im sure he is concerned." She smiled as the pilot walked off, she dug a remote from between the couch cushions and pressed a button, a tv slid down from the ceiling and she started flipping channels, casually watching some news and catching up on world events.

Daniel continues to sleep, the changes in his schedule and hoping from time zone to time zone must have taken more out of him then he thought. Even the noise coming from the TV doesn’t seem to disturb him, as greying men in suits talk about the economies of Europe, the United States, and Asia and how they all just plain suck at the moment. He does even wake up when a cell phone in his jacket pocket begins to buzz. Alisa didn’t know that he still had the cell phone from his old life on him, really the only thing he still had on him from his old life. The last connection to the old Daniel, the young man who had no luck with woman, was unable to travel and see the world, and was vulnerable to whatever less kind creature of the night wanted to do him harm buzzes away while the new one sleeps on the couch, unaware of it all.

The plane touched down and the waitresses walked out in different colored full body leather suits, they stood there in front of the two and smiled, all of them carrying helmets in their hands, "Wake up love its time to goooo." She said melodically, the sounds of a car and three motorcycles could be heard starting up and being revved as they were pulled out of the plane, the three bikes each matched the same color the flight attendants suits were they all walked out ahead of alisa and hopped on their bikes, talking amongst themselves about the night ahead giggling and laughing, revving their bikes, they got in a formation around alisas car, one in front and one on each side, the bikes were custom speed bikes equipped with turbos and a nitrous tank, they flipped switches and flames began to steadily shoot out of the exhaust of each bike, alisa stood up and walked out of the plane and hopped in her car.

Daniel wakes up, groggily he always does. He wakes himself up by going to the plane’s bathroom to splash some cold water on his face. So refreshed, he comes back puts his shoes and jacket back on. He still didn’t know his phone rang while he was sleeping, and he doesn’t check his messages now. That phone remains his lone contact to his pervious life, to any friends, family, or old girlfriends he might have had. Currently, he doesn’t seem too terrible interested in it right now. With a smile that is a mixture of excitement and terror, he gets into the passenger seat of Alisa’s car. He buckles up tightly and takes a deep breath, steading himself. “Well, time to see what this baby can do….please doesn’t crash into anything, I don’t want to spend my first time in Japan in traction.” He smiles and lets out a nervous chuckle, only half kidding. With the speed Alisa drives a crash would be disastrous, but with the inhuman motor skills she has a crash is incredibly unlikely.

"Lets go girls." The three flight attendants took off at a blinding speed ahead of her, alisa mashed the gas pedal and the car slid out of the hangar sideways, she drifted a good one hundred yards before straightening it out before the next turn, she hit it quickly and dropped a gear, the car slid sideways again as she took the turn, the tires screaming and smoke bellowing out from the rear end, she slid on to the highway and her motorcycle escorts got along side of her, the one on the left side popped an almost vertical wheelie before slamming the bike back down, alisa shifted up a gear and the car popped, it sounded as if a gunshot went off, the cruised on the highway for several minutes before an exit came up, the escorts zoomed ahead and alisa threw the car sideways again and shot down a narrow street into an abandoned parking garage, the sounds of tires squeeling, the smell of smoke and music playing were all in the air as she pulled up to the meet.

Daniel had thought he had seen reckless driving before. He had thought he had seen Alisa show off her vampire reflexes while behind the wheel of a car while ducking and weaving in traffic and showing no respect for the speed limit. He had been wrong. From the second the royal puts the royal petal to the royal metal, long unending screams issues forth from Daniels mouth as he was sure that each moment would be his last. Every slide and turn seemed as if it would lead to them crashing and becoming a smoldering ruin, but at the last second the vampire would adjust and they would make it by the sink of their teeth, or in Alisa’s case by the skin of her fangs. When they arrive at the meet after seems like an eternity to the young man, but after what could only have really been just a handful of minutes, he stumbles out of the car and is glad to be on solid ground. “I hope you’ll forgive me if I deiced to just stay on the sidelines while you race, lover.”

"I wouldnt have it any other way." She said as two cars screamed past them sideways, only inches apart, she popped the hood on her brand new car and posed next to it like a model, she casually pulled out a cigarette and lit it and took slow puffs, the dj at the end of the parking garage was staring at her, he got out of his booth and approached her casually, "So you are back i take it?" he asked.

Alisa smiled as she blew smoke through her nose, "For the time being, yes."

"So i should engage the party then, where are your biker vixens?" He said as he laughed, as if on que the three girls flew by on their bikes, one standing on the handlebars popping a wheelie, the other doing a vertical handstand and the last one with the back wheel off the ground, right as they were about to hit the wall, they all got on their bikes and flipped them around then drove next to alisas car and parked.

As with every other place they had been, Alisa imminently became the center of the party. What surprised Daniel was that this time he seemed to share in her spot light. As they walked around, a cute Japanese girl with her hair up in pig tails wearing a stylized version of a school girl outfit pinches his butt, before disappearing giggling into the crowd. The nice clothing and the confidence given to him by the Vampire Queen of Darkness had made Daniel into a new man; a man who was much more charismatic and attractive then he had been before. Perhaps much more important than that, it made him into a man who was much more happy then he was before. As the DJ hits the music and the crowd begins to dance, Daniel jumps right into it. Moving up to Alisa and grinding into her for a change while the three vampire biker vixens seem to have no trouble find any number of men, and also quite a few women, to dance with.

Alisa stood by her car and waited, two women stood up scantily clad and sprayed a line on the ground, another car pulled up, it was a black nissan 370 Z completly decked out, it was pained with silver tribal markings and it was idling quite loudly, so loud that some of the people covered their ears, "Thats my cue love, over there is a hummer, theres cameras rigged up all over the place people can watch the race safely, theres seven levels to the parking garage, its a race up and down, dont worry darling it will be just fine." She shut the hood and clipped it shut, she got in the car and fired it up and drove to the line, the competitor revved his engine as a man in a suit stepped up holding a cigarette, he stood between the cars and the driver handed him some money, alisa pulled some money out of the center console and handed it to the man as well.

Daniel moved along with the crowd as they move to the viewing area. Even though he wasn’t what you could call a big racing fan, the excitement in the air was electrifying and contagious, and he could feel the adrenaline running though him as drivers revved engines and crews did last minute checks and tune ups to make sure everything was running as smoothly as possible. Most of the crowd were native Japanese, and thus were speaking that language, but a few of the people in attendance were foreigners and most of them spoke English. For all the racing jargon and technical terms they used they might as well have been speaking Japanese, Daniel can’t follow a word about the different types of engines and all the different parts in the cars, and the only name he recognized from among the racers was Alisa. He manages to find a pretty good place from which to watch the raise, cheering and clapping with the rest of the crowd as the races line up at the starting line. The opening announcements are once again in Japanese, but when Alisa’s name is mention Daniel cheers his loudest. Finally, with all the preparations complete, a woman wearing an outfit that could barely be called a swim suit comes out and swings a flag, and the racers are off.

Alisa made a mad dash and blasted by her competitor, the wall was coming up fast and so was her competitor, she dropped the clutch, shifted a gear and yanked the wheel hard, the car slid sideways and up the narrow ramp. she held a perfect angle all the way up untill they reached the next level, she yanked the car straight and zipped across the straightaway her opponent nipping at her heels, she repeated the same process up the next few ramps and straightaways, they reached the last level, and alisa came to a screeching halt, two helicopters and about twenty armed men were waiting for her, they began firing at her car, she ducked under the dash to prevent the bullets from hitting her, her keen senses smelled something burning, the car was about to explode, she burst through the metal roof as it did the flames kissing her feet, but the men were ready, they shot her down from the air, she hit the ground with a thud, they continued firing at her riddling her body with bullets.

The three girls got on their bikes, two of them screamed off up to the roof, the third one whipped by daniel and yanked him onto the bike before he could blink, she screamed off towards the top floor where the other two were waiting, they had semi automatic weapons and were ducking and dodging and firing at the men, preforming a lightning fast deadly ballet, once all the men had been slain they ran over to alisas crumpled bloody burned heap of a body.

One of them yanked off their helmet and pulled out a cellphone, "Rush we need you now, bring the helicopter." She hung up, "Hang on sita, were gunna get you outta here." Alisa let out some primal screams and roars, shattering the glass in the girls helmets and the lights on the roof, her body was covered in bullet holes, one of the girls turned to daniel, "Did you notice anything out of place at the council meeting, anything at all?"
