Grimm Gunner: Chapter 6 Restless Night and the Diva Iidsu…
Azura having failed to locate Grimm sat..And fumed…not only was Grimm alive But her sister had attained the Happiness she herself had longed for with Grimm....Now she was left with only the option available..to monitor any and all unusual incidents she activated her global monitoring systems…and began her search…
“I don’t care if it takes an eternity....you will not escape me..”
With that her monitors began the search…she sat..Unflinching…and un relenting…her weapon in her hand…gripped tight…

Morning, Grimm’s Base 9:30 AM
Grimm Woke his nightmare had been interrupted…but he was more than thankful it had been Kirra had Put a stop to it she placed herself within his sub conscience and took the shot meant to kill Grimm in his  nightmare…
He walked to the kitchen poured some detox tea and sat thinking to Kirra…
*Kirra…I thought I told you to keep Quiet when I am sleeping..*
*Master…I simply thought that removing you from the nightmare you would sleep more comfortably…for 2 nights your REM sleep has been uneasy and off the scale for mental activity…*
*Kirra..in order to overcome a nightmare you must confront it..and you doing what you did only makes things worse…let my dreams be Kirra I will deal with my own demons…after all I am a Big Boy and can take of myself…Now Kirra Baby show me what’s on tap for the day…*
Kirra then put up on Grimm’s monitor an incoming performance group called The Crimson Butterfly…
“The Crimson Butterfly..?”
“Yes master…they are a group form Kyoto Japan here to give a Benefit concert..But as you have already seen master Angel Burg has become over run with corruption..And The lead singer may be in danger of being abducted…her name Is Iidsu Kaganata…”
Grimm had heard of the group before when he was still with Azura…The group was well known and the lead singer was famed for her Beautiful Voice….it was legendary….she could tame the wildest of hearts with her voice alone but her Beauty was Blinding as well Iidsu was what Grimm Considered a hazard…he avoided such women due to their over whelming affect on him…But this was a special case…Johnny and his thugs were still lose and even though he had put most of his henchmen out for the count Johnny would make a play For The Groups lead Singer…he prepared for another Confrontation with them…his Guns Chaos and order were about to be christened…
Air Athena airliner 12 45 PM Japan time…
“This is going to be the chance of a lifetime Iidisu we are going to America and your fame will spread even faster there after the Concert...”
Iidisu sat quietly and almost in a meditive state here eyes closed the blush on her cheeks slight as she breathed in and out in shallow intervals..in her hands her Fathers sword…the Raiatsu…her late father’s most powerful blade…in life he was a Samurai…One of the Most powerful In all of Japan…he had Lost his life defending their home but before he perished he had killed many invaders and brought the master mind behind the raid to justice…Iidsu was deep in thought…and opened her eyes to respond to her managers statement..They were like bright crystals…and an unusual color for a Japanese woman…almost a silver tone…Indeed Iidsu was a rare woman and she had more secrets about her than anyone knew...

“Well Mesaro I am only going so we can hold the Concert as a Benefit for wayward teens in Angel Burg...and I would like to see the sites as well…you know I am not in it for the Fame “
Iidisu then rose and walked to her seat on the plane she sheathed her father’s sword and buckled in for the landing…soon they would be in Angel Burg Heights…
Grimm prepared for battle he armed battle bulls guns and redid all its armor he also added some new implements to its array of weaponry and utilities..and as Grimm prepared…so did Johnny..
1 p.m Johnny’s grill east end of Angel Burg:
“boss you can’t go through with the plan…That Guy really Fucked up our guys he killed 2 and ones in critical…and he almost ripped yer throat out …we make a move on the concert tonight and we might as well sign our own death warrants boss”
He smacked the bulky henchman hard and stood up from the table with a scowl on his face
“we are going to go through with the plan…if we don’t My father will make sure we die a lot slower and more painfully than Grimm could…I would rather Die doing this than be tortured to death by My dad’s top man …Kadaros…That maniac will keep you alive for days until you beg to die…we are going to Kidnap the Diva…End Of story..”


The plane landed without incident at angel burg Airport Iidisu and her entourage exited the plane she was dressed in lily white Kimono her eyes aglow with a hypnotic stare…she was focused and ignored the screaming fans at the gate….they were then taken by limo to Angel Burg’s finest Hotel The Harbor Crest…
Iidisu went down to the dining area and ordered a drink..
“Bartender…White sake please”
“Sure thing Miss…lucky we were told you were coming we stocked our place with the best orient food and drink money can buy...”
Iidisu sat and sipped her sake indifferently….as she did a black car with the license plate DED-MAN13 pulled up a man clad in red and black walked in slowly he sat at the far end of the dining room it was Grimm he had come to keep an eye on things…battle Bull was playing a song as he entered…it was called…Indestructible…the owner cringed as Grimm sat in the shadows his fedora covering his face his long black locks rested upon his shoulders…they had red streaks in them on his coats shoulders..The reapers Scythe shone black and red his holstered weapons Order and Chaos rested at the inside of his long red and Black coat…
“Bar keep…”
“Ye...Yes sir?”
“Hot sake…grilled teriyaki steak and fried shrimp”
“Yes sir…right away sir...”
“Yeah One More thing...”
“Y...Yes?”
“Another drink for the lady at the table there…”
“Who should I say sent it s…sir?”
“Tell her it’s Just from a loyal Fan…don’t point  don’t stare …just send it…and bring my food…I am Hungry so don’t keep me waiting…”

The bartender did as he was told and brought Grimm his food…He then sent The drink to Iidisu..
“Pray tell…who sent this..?”
The Bartender began to sweat; he could feel Grimm’s menacing eyes burning into his back…
“Ah well miss…It’s from a fan…”
“Might you like to tell me if he is still here?”
“Well No he’s Not Miss he left about 10 minutes ago..”
Iidsu felt the barkeeps fear she knew he was trying to keep the senders name anonymous…so she played along….
“Very well I shall graciously accept it Thank you bar keep…you may go..”
He left her wiping the sweat from his brow…it was close call for him he had heard about what this man had done to Johnny and his thugs 2 days prior..He did not need any problems so he did as he was told…he went to the back and began cooking for the evening dinner crowd…
Iidisu noticed there was a karaoke stage here ..
“Barkeep..will you do me a favor please..?”
“Sure thing Miss Iidisu ..”
“Could you queue up the song…Butterfly for me I would like to give your dinner crowd a sample show before the concert later on tonight”
“wow you sure…that would really be a treat…okay Miss you got it..”
Iidsu went up to her room and Put on her Pink flowered Kimono and matching heels…she then redid her hair geisha style and went back down to the Dining room she had the Bar keep introduce her…
“Ladies and Gentleman..The Harbor Crest has a real treat for you tonight the star of crimson Butterfly has asked to give us a mini concert before tonight’s big show…PRESENTING THE LOVELY IIDISU KAGANATA THE STAR OF CRIMSON BUTTERFLY!!
Iidsu walked calmly out to the stage …Grimm’s looked up in surprise…she looked like a butterfly herself…
Just then Kirra spoke…
“Master…your heart beat has become irregularly fast are you alright..?”
“Yes I am fine Kirra keep alert Iidsu just put herself in danger doing this…it’s not something a Diva would do…”
“Iidsu is not an ordinary Diva Master…she is the Daughter to The Kaganata clans leader Itori Kaganata he passed away some years ago leaving his estate to His Only Daughter Iidisu Kaganata…he was one of 5 samurai clan leaders in the Kyoto province…of them kaganata was the proudest and most powerful of them all…she herself is a powerful female Samurai though very few know of her power as one…she is more well known as the Crimson’s lead singer…to date Iidsu has not used one cent of her father’s estate…she is a self made Woman…Like you…she is not dependant on anyone but herself…”
Grimm sat and watched Iidsu as she began to sing….the music played and the words from the song flowed from her lips like a river flows through a valley …the song she chose was Butterfly a song Grimm was most familiar with…but why was she doing this…it was high risk thing to do…yet…she sang on the crowd cheered..Grimm simply sat and watched his face emotionless..his eyes scanning the room for anyone attempting to rush the stage…
Suddenly as she reached the height of the song her gaze was fixed on something…he peered from under his red fedora…She was Starring directly at him…her Mouth rolling off the words in seductive harmony as if aimed at his very soul….
He dared not let her gaze connect..he averted his eyes…she simply readjusted as if to match his movements…she knew…it was him that sent the drink to her..And now he had to move and get out before she could corner him…
She continued to sing her voice penetrating into his mind her glare hypnotic…he got up and headed out to the back door…he whistled for battle Bull…he then got in just as Iidisu’s song ended ….his heart was beating fast he revved battle Bulls engine and sped off into the night…
Iidisu walked out to the side walk just in time to see him speed away…
She simply stood and starred…Whispering….
“Another Time my dark Warrior another time...”
Grimm arrived at the Angel dome where Iidsu would be giving her concert..though she had nearly caught him he was Bound to his promise to make sure No one did harm to her…
Kirra chirped..”Master…if I did not know better I would say that you fear  Iidisu…”
He calmly spoke…
“It’s much more than fear…that kind of woman is My Bane Kirra…”
“But Master you do not even Know each Other…why should you fear someone that does not even know you..?”
“Iidisu..is a Japanese woman…her entire Being is Beautiful Poison…”
“Master?...”
“Though I fear Her…I must protect her…it’s our job Kirra…Now get ready…”
With That Kirra prepared as well in the base she prepared and android Body that would house her being..it was sleek and blue in color …she was well armored and armed…she was ready and waiting for her masters summon should she be needed….she looked almost like her hologram and had all the curves of a real woman but her metallic body gave away the fact she was a powerful android…Kirra Locked and loaded her own weapons and stood ready…*I am ready master your word is my command..*


9:45 Pm The Harbor Crest…
Iidsu having missed her opportunity to flush out her mysterious admirer prepared for the concert…she and her band got into the limo awaiting them..They arrived at the Angel dome and the band set up..Iidsu then dressed In her Finest and most beautiful Outfit…a crystal kimono parts were very sheer and showed off here beautiful figure…her skin was almost a perfect lily the Kimono highlighted this…as she got ready the crowd began filling the dome many fans from far and near had Come to see the famed Iidisu…and so had johnny and his thugs..they were just outside the dome preparing…
“okay you know the plan and you know what’s going to happen if we blow it…we have to capture her alive..and undamaged you goons so no rough housing…
Johnny had hired new thugs and they Numbered 20 altogether..most were just muscled convicts who needed the money so they agreed to work for Johnny…he had however neglected to tell them that another Threat awaited them …The Grimm Gunner…

The crowd was cheering and the electricity was in the air….The concert was about to start…Iidisu walked out to the stage the light shone on her as it did the Crystals in her Kimono lit and surrounded her in halo of white…
She walked slowly to the microphone and the crowd Hushed…she then spoke…
“Hello to you all here in angel burg Heights..Tonight I will open the show with a special song....dedicated to one very elusive…the song…Frozen…if you are in the crowd tonight…This song is for you..”
With that…she began to sing..her mouth again turning the words into almost living shards of energy…Grimm sat in the crowd…too far away for her to find…as she sang…Johnnys goons began slowly moving toward the stage…
Iidsus voice had the crowd in awe but they affected one person more than anyone Grimm for the song was meant for him…Iidsu was a blessed woman with a set of powers and senses that made her both beautiful and deadly…she sensed it was Grimm in the hotel that sent the drink …but she could also feel his pain and turmoil he had deeply buried it but not deep enough For Iidisu could feel it…and now she was using her voice to try and break the chain of suffering he was enduring…just as her song Ended Johnnys men rushed the stage gun fire rang out the guards at the entrance were already dead and Iidisus manger and band were now hostages…
Johnny then got up on stage and aimed his gun at Iidisu…

“Alright…we are walking out of here with the girl anyone tries to stop us you get plugged got it!!”
He reached for Iidisu and as he did a sound like wind cut through his hand…in a split second his hand was severed and lying twitching on the stage…he screamed in pain..Iidisu had cut off his hand for attempting to touch her
“You fuckin bitch!! Brad show this bitch what’s going to happen if she does not come with us!!”
The good shoved her lead guitarist forward and shot him in the arm..
He howled in pain and was bleeding profusely..Brad just stood smirking..Grimm got up and began making his way to the stage…the crowd split letting him through…his menacing weapons now out and in his hands…
Iidisu dropped her blade…she knew that her entourage would all be made examples if she did not go with them…
“I will come but after you must let my friends go..”
“No deal bitch…your coming weather we let them go or not…”
“You foul piece of Human filth how dare you attack us we have done nothing to warrant this treacherous act”
“Your worth a ton to your government so we are going to hold you til they pay up…”
“Money is that all you care for…?? You kill and rob for money...have you no decency??”
“Hey its bad world..and you need it to survive…now come along bitch or your mangers next!!”
Iidsus stare was cold and menacing she began moving toward Jonny so she could be taken…but before she could take another step..The 6 that were holding here band members hostage all dropped to the ground dead…a bullet in each of their heads
Grimm was standing there he had freed her band members and sent them to battle bull his car then put up a force field to keep them from further harm…
The remaining thugs tried to rush the stage and take Iidisu…but Grimm cut them Down Chaos and Order smoldered hissing as if hungry for more…
Iidisu stood unflinching…and starred at grimm he stood between her and Johnny
“I thought I told you and your goons to leave town Johnny…this nice lady here came to sing and raise the town some money for kids and here you are spoiling it…now Johnny your going to wish you had left…but your not even worth the Bullet Johnny..
“you don’t know what’s going to happen to me if I don’t  bring her to my father Grimm I want the bitch Not you so give her up…”
“you call her that one more time…”
“She’s a bitch she cut off my fucking hand…”
Iidisu spoke…
“you don’t touch a lady without her consent you deserved to lose your hand you piece of filth…”
Johnny’s other men were closing and Grimm was tiring of this game he then concentrated…and with a crash Kirra burst through the doors..she took Johnny’s arms and pulled them behind him hard holding him…
“ahhhh!! What the fu..”
Before he could finish he looked up ..Kirra stood behind him her metallic body glowing in red her eyes pulsed with anger…she took Johnny and slammed him down into the stage leaving a large dent in it..
Iidisu stepped on her blade and I flipped up and into her hands..the goons that were coming for her were cut down in less than 5 seconds their flailing limbs bleeding and covering the stages ground..
Grimm then shot and killed the last of Johnny’s men…now only he remained and he was now short a hand and some dignity..The crowd and witnessed everything and the news van had shown up and seen it all…the police were on their way and it was not a good time to be sticking around…
Kirra cuffed Jonny to a stage post and Left a jet pack popping out of her back carrying her up and out of the dome…she then spoke to her master…
“see you at Home master …”
“see you at home Kirra”
Iidisu then spoke again this time to Grimm
“Dark warrior..I am grateful to you…please accept this as my thanks…”
She had to act quickly as she knew Grimm would slip away if she did not…She grabbed him and held tight then she kissed him deeply…she then released him his eyes remained cold and without emotion…he then ran to battle bull released her band …and sped again into the Dark of night…
“Safe journey dark warrior”
She whispered as a tear fell from her eye..in the split second she kissed him..she saw and felt all of his pain…she now knew why he had been so elusive…
As she stood on the stage her manger ran up…
“Iidisu are you alright??”
“yes…I am fine let us go now…please reimburse our guests and tell them there shall be a another concert later in the week…”
But Iidisu…they have l already sent the money to the charity...”
“Then the next one will be free..Please to inform them..Masaro”

Iidsu and her entourage returned to the hotel security was doubled…Johnny was locked away in the angel Burg Hospital…his goons bodies were shipped off to the local morgue and their families informed of their deaths..
Grimm arrived Home where Kirra drew him a hot bath and prepared his meal…
“So master…how did it feel?”
“How did what feel..??”
“Master I saw her Kiss you….are you telling me you felt nothing ..?”
“I felt something alright…but not what you think Kirra…”
“Very well master But your heart rate went off the charts for about 30 seconds I was just wondering why..”
“let’s get some rest Kirra…and stay outta my head tonight…got it..?”
she simply smiled and then shut down…”good night master..”
