Of Passion and Punches.
[A/N: I know I am late. But happy birthday Vaish!! I hope you enjoy this one!]
She stomped on another butt, huffing out the remaining smoke from her lungs. She was on her 5th cigarette today, and it all could be blamed on him.
She knew when it came to him, no form of dark habits in her would be left unturned. Everything that she would do to make herself right, would just turn 180 degrees the moment she had a chance that she could grab and destroy him.
Of course, one could justify, that he was the one who introduced all the darkness to her in the first place, so in turn, by destroying him, she was destroying the darkness within her.
She cursed out some more swear words on the poor junior detective that came to her with the file on his current location.
'Reyaansh Singhania. Current alias: Black Jack. Current location: Storage unit no. 214, Garbunt Dockyard.'
She crushed the paper report with her ash stained hands. The bas***d was going down tonight. Enough with the serial murders.
"Maam, are you sure you want the team to move in on him tonight?" Another junior asked her.
"Yeah! Don't doubt my judgment you blood-sucking maggots. You'll survive if you don't pee your pants on field. He can smell fear, you know!" She smiled that blood-thirsty smile of hers, fantasizing about that eerie trait of his. They really did share so many of their skills till this date.
Suddenly the Junior felt like peeing his pants watching her face. He cleared his throat, realizing that it had gone dry, and whimpered away. So much for the Police training. Nobody had warned him that his Lieutenant was going to be freaking scarier than a Serial Killer.

"Akira! Come on! Move your slow ass." He screamed at her, in the midst of the dark forest, while she hurried her steps even more. They were aching now, her all of 16, petite body giving more and more into the pain.
"Akira... Why do I have to be Akira! Do I look so much like a boy to you, Rey?" She retorted, almost on the verge of tears.
*Whack*
A resounding slap stinging her face, she slowly put her hand on her right cheek to soothe it from burning. Tears gave way in her eyes, and she looked up at him, clueless.
"How many times do I have to tell you..." the grey, steely voice hissed, "...never use my real name on the job."
She nodded her head, admitting her mistake.
"Now, what am I, Akira?" He asked, his voice honey dripping sweet.
"Ryuu."
'That's my strong girl." He rubbed her head, messing her hair, "You know you are Akira because you are strong and bright, love." He said, kissing her cheek where he had just been cruel.
"Now hurry up! We have to clean up. Your sister won't like us being late. She is the one who washes the blood stained clothes." He told her, and she sped up, even though her body was crying out not to.

She was throwing up. She was churning all of her insides out of her mouth. Her sister, her only blood relative, her world... lay imp on the ground. The blood was still leaking out of her, as if somebody had brutally murdered her just so that the red liquid wouldn't stop oozing out.
The irony was, she knew the killing style. It was him. It was bloody him.
That bas***d... How dare he kill his own girlfriend? How dare he kill his own child inside of her? How f**king dare he!
She had been so happy till the morning, when her sister had told her that she was expecting a baby. She knew, in her heart of hearts that she loved Rey... But then, Rey didn't love him. He seemed to love Ria... And so she had always supported.
But this? What the f**k was this?
She always knew he wouldn't marry. Not with the type of business they were in.
But this... She threw up again.
With the whole world going dark, she for the first time felt what pure blood-lust was.

"Maam..." She heard a faint sound, "...Maam?"
"Yeah? What?" She rubbed her eyes. She must have fallen asleep on the paperwork on her desk. She stretched her hands, to shake off the residual sleep. The mission would start pretty soon.
"Boss wants to see you." The junior said, and shaking, left.
"f**k." She cursed and made her way into the cabin.
"What made you rush into this madness, Kria?" Her boss spout venom, "You could have cost me dozens of men! Do you wanna get suspended again because of this case?"
"No, Sir. But I know this is the only chance we get at him." She tried to plead, the urge to catch the bas***d running too deep in her veins.
"That's what you said the last time goddammit!" He shot back, "I can't keep losing my men for your personal vendetta!"
"FINE!" She screamed and slammed the door shut.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
Her heart thumped loudly in her chest. She couldn't believe what a high adrenaline could actually give. Had she been stupid coming here alone? Well, it was pretty late now to think about the answer to that one.
She slammed the door of the container, and shot a few rounds. Only to find that it was empty. He wasn't there? She was almost heartbroken.
"Tch. Tch. Akira... I thought you shot better than that. Has the department made you docile, love?" She heard an echoing sound from back in the alleyway.
"Son of a bitch!" She turned around and shot in the direction of his voice.
She took cover as answering shots were fired. Her legs gave way and she ran into the container, praying that she had enough bullets left.
She heard slow footsteps approaching, and then aiming at the shadow, shot her last rounds.
"Did you really think before coming here, Akira?" She heard his sneering laugh, and spit at the floor. Enough, she was going in.
"Stop calling me that, you bas***d!" She screamed, making her way to him and landing a hook on his side jaw.
"You bitch!" He spat the blood on his lips.
He grabbed both of her flying fists and landed a kick into her guts. She was instantly on the floor, and he grabbed a fistful of her hair. Pulling her from her hair, he brought his face before her face.
"Now Now Kira-Kira... Who the f**k do you think you are... Hitting me like that?" He laughed off, the threat clear in his voice.
She spat on his face, wishing it was real poison, and hustled him onto the floor, in return some of her hair being pulled out from the roots.
"I am not your f**king Kira-Kira! Stop calling me that Rey!" She pushed him to the ground and straddled him, landing innumerous punches on his pretty face.
He struggled to get back on to top, and got success after a few moments. He was on top of her, completely crushing her from his weight. He grabbed both her hands into his, and pinned them above her head.
"You'll always be mine, Akira... No matter how much you think you are not." He whispered into her ear. His tongue slithered down from there, melting into her collarbone, and she writhed to be set free.
"f**k off, Rey!" She screamed, "Stop! Bloody f**king Stop!"
He laughed, almost chiming sweetly, into her ear.
"Ohh Love... It is always so easy with you." He teased, biting her earlobe.
She managed to get one of her legs moving from underneath him, and kicked him with as much force as she could.
"You filthy scum. Stop playing with me! I am not your toy anymore!" She pointed her gun to his chest, and pulled the trigger.
*Click*
She was out. Holy shit, she was out.
He laughed throatily now. Continuing his laugh at her punches as well. The kicks, he dodged beautifully.
When both of them were out of breath, he took advantage and thrashed his body into hers, backing her into a wall.
His lips crashed on hers, and she bit him back, drawing out blood so that he would leave her to breathe.
"Unggh. Get off me." She tried, pushing him back.
"I know you want this as much as I do. Stop struggling Kria!" He purred.
She sighed. She was shivering already, and knew he would do what he always did with girls.
"Right, So that you cut me apart as soon as you are finished!" She said, breathless under his chest strongly pushing into hers.
"Ohh come on.. You know you are special, Akira... I would never do that to you." He kissed her earlobe again, and started peppering bites down her neck.
She moaned involuntarily. Her senses were in hyperdrive now, and she knew what her outcome would be, either way.
Her fingers found their way into his hair, and she pulled his hair from the roots, bringing his lips on her again. She twisted and in the next moment, it was her pushing him into the wall, while their lips still played the power struggle. They both smiled in between the kiss, and the next moment, a shot was fired.
She continued kissing him with all her force, till she found his back bleeding with hot oozing blood gushing out. She continued, as long as she could, before she came thrashing down to the ground.
He pulled the bloody knife out of his back, and knew in an instant, that the bitch had stabbed him at least 5 times before her body gave up.
His own body came down next to hers, and he cursed out aloud, almost for the last time.
"Bitch..." He breathed his last.
She sighed and closed her eyes, feeling the bullet dissolving into her body. She smiled... At last she did what she wanted.
At last, she had taken revenge for her sister.
Her whole and sole purpose of her life was fulfilled now. He had taken everything from her, and she did the same.
[A/N: So, Rey was a psychopath serial killer. He killed many many girls. Kria used to be his partner on contract killing jobs, until he killed her sister as well. He and her sister were dating. And I didnt wanna go to much into the back story. I hope this was good enough. Vaish, you said no sweetness... So I didnt put in even the minimum amount of sweetness. Tell me how it is.]
