Protected by the Last Kitsune

Lita’s past

Before I got all my stuff packed I took a quick shower so I not only would be clean, I would hopefully wake up a bit as I haven’t yet slept, I put on a nice white pantsuit with matching heels, I put my hair up in a fishtail with light makeup, after all, I was meeting the King and Queen I couldn’t just go looking like a hoodlum. I grab all my files before heading out the door, leaving the keys on the counter and locking the door from the inside before walking out.

I walked down the hall to see if Harley was ready to go only to be met with an open door, I felt uneasy at this as I started to get a little worried, why would his door be left wide open? It's not a known thing for people with our lifestyle, normally this would be cause for concern, so I walked in hoping he would be ok, the place was empty, as I walked around the kitchen counter, my eyes rested on a piece of paper, I picked it up seeing it was a note for me, that read.

Lita,

I am sorry, I was running late what with packing and all, I’m in the shower, I’ll be out soon, I didn’t mean to scare you, leaving the door open but I didn’t want you to think I left without you.

Harley

I walked over to the window looking out as I waited for him, it was starting to get dark as it was close to 7 pm, I watched as all the street lights came on, pedestrians walking up and down the sidewalks carrying on with their lives, none the wiser of what happens around them. In a way, it's stupid that they don’t know, yet in another blissful ignorance, how I wish I could live like them, live life without a worry or a care in the world where the supernatural was concerned. Some days I wish I were human, however, had I been born human I wouldn’t be here today. My life is hell, nothing but the pain is all I have ever known, starting from an early age.

I learned that I couldn’t trust anyone, love was something you only heard about in fairy tales, it wasn’t real. People come and go, All though hoping they would just go without the coming part, everyone I had ever come in contact with only cause me pain, my parents left me at the age of 6 with a broken leg, shattered skull, fractured eye sockets, dislocated shoulder, 7 broken fingers, and broken ankle opposite of the broken leg. I was taken to the hospital were from there I was sent to an orphanage.

There I was beaten daily, spent all my time cleaning, cooking, and watching over the other kids, we slept in a dirt basement, with no beds or blankets, we tried to keep warm when we were allowed to go down to rest by huddling together as close as we could get, on the floor. The floor was muddy from the ground outside after the rain and the snow had melted, we laid in a cold puddle or slept standing up when the water got to our knees, the only food we were given was the moldy rotten scraps. I lost count of the children who lost their lives in that basement by either illness, injury or taking their own lives as everyone else slept, I hated being helpless and useless as I watched the other kids get hit, or forced to do s****l things to the couples son and his friends, they never took their virginity, just degrading tasks such as giving them head or feeling them up while his friends watch playing with themselves in the corner,

They were disgusting people. Soon I was the only one left, they stopped taking kids after the feds started to get suspicious of their little child slavery. I was about 12 by then, when their son tried doing those things with me, I was home alone with him, not sure where his parents were and I didn’t care, that was until he grabbed me by the hair in the back of my head, throwing me to the floor from behind, he walked around me then stood in front of me, the sick, twisted grin he always had every time he had laid eyes on me, “I have waited for so long for this, my parents for some reason refused to let me play with you like the others. Now, no one is here.” he smiled as he reached down grabbing my hair forcing me into a kneeling position, he then took out his d**k and shoved it in my mouth, as soon as he did I bit down as hard as I could, biting it off, blood running down my face as I spit it out, running out of the house as he hit the floor bleeding out and screaming, I never turned back, I just kept running, I lived on the streets until I was 15, getting beaten daily for the things that I collected that others wanted or for the little bit and rare form of food I found, I tried my best to fight them off, but in the end I always lost.

I was always running, running from the pimps trying to w***e me out, running away from gang members trying to get me to sell their s**t and join them, then running from the police knowing they would send me back or somewhere worse. Begging for money never worked either I as always spat on, kicked, there were a few times I was pushed into oncoming traffic, the cars just barely missing me, there was one time I was hit by a truck, I never understood why I never died and why I always healed so fast, that is when Collens Father found me it was after that accident, he watched as I peeled myself off of the pavement and stumbled into a nearby alley.

Collens Father followed me, I was in too much pain and too tired to even notice. “ You, there girl, what are you doing? Shouldn’t you be going to the hospital?”

“I would rather die than be there, they will send me to another hell when I get released, at least this way, here, I am free, NO ONE CAN MAKE ME DO ANYTHING.” I shouted at him

“You know girl I have seen you around more than once and each time I see you, you seem different, some days you look like you had a few rounds with Holyfield in the ring, other times you look filthy, but unharmed, there have never been any scars on you that I have whitnessed after I had seen you just laying there in the alley bloodied and broken.”

“Ok, so let me get this straight, you have been watching my hell like some sitcom? What the f**k? I knew this world was f****d up, I know there isn’t one person in this whole world who isn’t selfish and evil, but watching someone go through all of that and do nothing? What little hope I did have, Man thank you for taking that from me, would you just f**k off and leave me to die in peace please??”

“ Well, here is the thing little lady, I didn’t do anything because I had to be sure.”

I cut him off “Sure of what? Make sure I would get beaten down more than I already am, sure that some f**k head would r**e me before killing me or after? Or make sure that the dealer 2 blocks down couldn’t get me to use his s**t to get rid this shitty hell I am in? Or sure I would starve to death before the sickness and infection took over my body to the point of never being well again? Or sure that the very life in me was completely snuffed out so I would be willing to do anything you say? Just for a drink of clean water? Go f**k yourself asshole, I won't be begging you for anything anytime soon, I would sooner die….”

He looked at me annoyed and pissed off though I am not sure what he had to be pissed off about, he was clean, looked well fed, just the way he stood proud just looking at him you could tell he as build of pure muscle. Now I just don’t like people more in the way of men, but this guy was really pissing me off, who did he think he was following me, looking at the way he looked, than have the balls to look down on me and want to watch me fall. f**k him, I will make it and if I die trying at least I die on my terms.

“That’s not it at all girl, You are special, and what I mean by, special is, you're not human I think I know what you are but I am not sure. I would like to take you off the streets before anyone else notices and really does kill you. I am offering you a warm place to sleep, fresh food, medical treatment, and training as in to fight or at the very least self defense. I will even give you a real job and pay you.”

I had to laugh, how stupid could this guy be? “A job? Doing what? Sucking off your friends? Thanks, but I will pass.”

“Enough with that foul mouth of yours, Not everyone is out to hurt you or use you.” he bit out I couldn’t help but cower in fear, this man scared the s**t out of me.

“I will give you two choices, 1 you come with me willingly or 2 I pick your broken ass up, throw you over my shoulder and take you to get looked at and fed. If I were you, I would pick the least painful seeing as you can hardly move as is, I figure with that impact, it will take you a good 78 hours to fully heal, would you really want to be out here alone in that state?”

I looked away defeated I know I won't last out here with my condition for 2 hours let alone 78 if he is right and I get the feeling he is. “Fine I will go with you.” I whispered, looking at the ground. “What I didn’t quite get that.” he said in a winning tone, I looked up at him he was wearing a gratifying smirk.

“I said FINE! I will go with you, but if you try anything, I will kill you, I will find out where you live, where you sleep and I will kill you..” I yelled at him. He walked up to me bending down, putting one arm under my legs and one behind my back lifting me, bridal style, I was so shocked I didn't know what to do. “I know it hurts you to walk, plus you will do more damage than good in doing so, I won't hurt you or do anything so relax.” and that is what I did I relaxed and let him carry me which might have been a bad move as I relaxed the adrenaline left my body the pain was so intense that I ended up passing out.

When I woke up, he was sitting by my side reading a book, when I stirred that was when he looked at me and spoke “Ah, you're finally awake, how do you feel?” he asked with concern, I moved my body there was no pain or anything, “ I feel fine thanks, there is no pain, where am I? This doesn’t look like a hospital.” I said with curiosity, he smiled at me as he said, “this will be your new home, I hope you don’t mind but I took the liberty to send someone out to get clothes for you. They are in that closet over there,” he pointed to the left, “Through there, is the bathroom, he pointed to a door next to the closet “take your time to get cleaned up, dinner is done as soon as you are done the kitchen is down the stairs to the right.” with that he patted my arm and left.

I stayed there ever since training, learning everything there is to know about weapons, combat, medical treatments, technology and so forth and let me tell you it was not easy, it was here that I found out I was a Kitsune only Bax knows what I am his son Collen never found out, Collen is the only person in this world, I trust with my life as he has earned it, Diamond as well, we are working on it, she came a few years after did, she was very, Um, what's the word? Entitled? Yeah, that's it, she was like a princess everything was expected to be done for her, so we never really got along as that was a huge hell, Nah, for me, every time she told me to do something, give her something, or whatever, I threw the closest thing to me at her. No f***s were given either. She is finally learning that here, we either work as a team or not at all, we are here for each other if you don’t want to work as a team you work solo which also means everything is done solo, including eating, choirs, training and jobs. Those like me can do either some days I feel like being alone, so I go alone for a while once I was solo for a Year, I didn’t talk to anyone, only left my room when no one was around, training and missions were done alone by myself, my orders were slid under my door.

But that year was the worst year of my life, I finally opened my heart and fell in love, I was finally believing love was real, I was happy, we were going to get married later that year, the night of our engagement party, he was supposed to pick me up for the party, but sent me a text asking that I pick him up, so I headed to his house, I knocked but there was no answer so I let myself in with my spare key, I heard talking so I started up the stairs following their voices, “ come on baby, she will never know, besides it's not like she has given it up, let me have one more day of incredible s*x before I settle down. beside she wouldn’t even let me kiss her this whole time of being with her. I am sexually frustrated. ” “If you feel this way, then why get married to her? Do you even love her?” “f**k No.” He said laughing “Then why marry her?” she asked, her voice sounded really familiar to me but I just couldn’t place it. “ Because she has one thing I don’t and I want it, once I get it, she will be gone and It will be ours.” “Oh yeah and what does she have that you want so badly? And how do you plan on getting rid of her?” I peeked into the room he leaned in pecking her lips with his arms around her waist grinding his package against her. I was already hurt and pissed, but I wanted to hear the rest, he knew I was coming so why would he be risking this? I moved the door to get a better look at the woman, I think I have seen her around the training ground but how did she know Kya? “Do you know the amount of money she has? I know it doesn’t show, but I snuck into her bank account when she left her laptop on and open, this b***h is a billionaire and it's just sitting there? After the wedding she will be met with a horrible accident. Leaving me all rights to it.” I watched as he smiled so brightly as my heart shattered and rage filled me “You can enter the room now Lita” I heard the woman's voice call out, as she pushed Kya to the floor, Kya looked up at me with surprise and utter fear on his face, the woman bent down, grabbing his chin forcing him to look at her and not me, as she said “Do you know why she has all that money? Have you ever wondered where it comes from? Surely you didn’t think she got all that money from running a dance studio?” she laughed the woman you played with so carelessly is none other than the worlds number 1 assassin, she gets all that money from wiping out pieces of s**t like you. How do you think you were able to pick me up as fast as you did? Looking like Howdy Doody? You are my mark, I texted poor Lita here so she would know why her man got X I couldn’t take you out without her knowing, because I knew she would go looking for the person who killed her one and only love. No Thank you.”

I stepped in the room, “how much?” she looked at me “Sadly, only 1k but I need food and rent.” “how does 15k sound?” “sounds like music to my ear’s love.” she started walking towards me as he stands up dusting off his clothes. “15k for what he asked. You are going to pay her f**k me? Now this is great." he said with a smug smile, "I still get laid and get to marry my own personal bank who just also happens to be a spineless worm.” the woman laughed as she handed me her card with her pay route on it, “it's not for me to f**k you, you filthy little hobbit, she just bought your contract so I won't be killing you today.” She looked him up and down “Pitty.” then walked out of the room. Kya walked over to me, placing his arms around my waist, “Thanks for saving me babe.” he said before kissing my cheek, I slowly brought my hands up his chest, around his neck and putting my fingers in his hair I then slid one hand down to his chin I smiled at him “You're welcome, my love.” with one swift moment his body fell limp hitting the floor I had snapped his neck. Picking him up I tossed him down the stairs, making it look like a freak accident before leaving.

Which is what brought me to Seattle. A new start to a new life with one last job. A job I never intended to leave alive. But now. A tear rolled down my face as I flipped back through on my life, up till now. I then noticed Harleys reflection in the window, I quickly wiped the tear away as I turned with a smile. You ready to go? He half smiled back at me as I walked towards the door, he grabbed his bag than putting a hand on the small of my back we walked out. Heading to the meeting than to the new temporary house.
