Irkens still belong to Jhonen Vasquez. My fan characters and the [Y] assassination organization do not.
[Y] It's just death:
Daze slowly opened her eyes. With her blurred vision she couldn't make much out so she didn't know where she was, as she tried to sit up she hissed in agony as a wave a pain shot up her spine. As her vision became clearer she saw a stream of crimson liquid running from her mouth. She reached up an aching arm and wiped at it, only to realize that most of it was dried on. She didn't know how long shed been unconscious for but she knew there was a reason for it, the same reason that caused the amount of pain she was currently in. Her surroundings were cold and dark; she shivered as the stone floor beneath her contacted with her flesh. Was this all a dream? No, it couldn't have been a dream, the pain was all too real, there was no way it couldn't have been. She tried to make her eyes clearer by rubbing them, but to no avail. She still couldn't see and she still had no idea where she was. Daze thought about trying to sit up again. As she did so that same pain from before once again shot up her spine, she was sure she cried out in pain, her mouth opened and tears started flowing down her cheeks, yet she heard noting, not a sound. When she finally sat upright she slouched over and the pain seemed to subside a small amount. Then something collided with the side of her head and sent her crashing back to the cold stone floor. Surely she would have heard someone, and surely she screamed again but she heard nothing. Then slowly as her surroundings faded to black her eyes closed and the tall figure above her just laughed.

In a large square room there is a low square table in the middle covered by a large tablecloth with cushions on the floor to sit on. There were a few strange statues in the room and on one side of the table was a middle aged man wearing some ornate sort of robe, on the right side of him Rylie sat and opposite him sat Heather.
" I just don't understand. If she isn't here I don't know where she could be." Heather wiped a tear away from her cheek with the back of her hand. " None of her things or her clothes are gone and I doubt she would have run away."
Rylie then stood up and bowed to the male and then to Heather.
" I think I've said everything I can here father. I'm going to excuse myself now." The male just nodded and so Rylie walked off.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Rylie ducked and jumped over and under things as she ran through the forest, then she came to the river and jumper that as well. She then later reached her destination, the [Y] assassination organization mansion. She ran up the gravel driveway and ascended the steps and burst through the door. Pausing to catch her breath again she stood in the lobby. Vash came out from the lounge and smiled at her.
" So Rye, where's Daze lately? Cos no one ordered her assassination yet." He laughed then stopped when he saw the look on Rylies face. " Whoa what's up girl?"
" You haven't seen Daze?" Rylie went to walk of up the stairs but Vash reached out and grabbed her arm.
" Hey hey hey what's wrong? Calm down, c'mon what's up?" Vash actually looked concerned for Daze, considering how much he seemed to hate her.
" Daze gone missin. Her mums at my house thinking Daze were there but she's not. Daze been gone fer two days now without anyone seeing a single peep of her. It aint right Vash we gotta find her!"
" Lets go see Nion, she might know something." Rylie just nodded and walked up the stairs with Vash.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Daze woke up again, still in the same place, still with blurred vision and still couldn't hear. This time she was laying on her side so she rolled over onto her front then got up into a kneeling position, resting on one knee. As she raised herself and was standing something sharp pierced into he skin about 4 inches below her left knee, the shock and pain sent her falling back onto the floor with a thud. laying down again she pushed herself up a bit and rested on her elbows. She looked at the small crossbow arrow that was tightly nestled in her flesh; she could feel it inside, the sensation making her feel very ill. A stream of blood started to run down her bare leg and then started to soak into her sock which had fallen down and crumpled round her ankle. She looked around for a sign of someone but could see nothing. Everything was too dark and blurry, she didn't have a chance in hell of seeing something, the only thing she could see was herself, and even that wasn't to clear.
" Poor insolent fool. You can't see me; you can't hear me and you don't even have the energy to sense me. Pathetic, for an assassin."
Daze's cheeks became hot as the tears streamed down her face. She had aches and pains over her body, a million spots that felt like swollen black bruises and she knew that her recent scar from the dragon had been reopened. She had now food or water for god knows how long, her throat was sore and dry and her whole body was starved and weak.
" That's it. Cry! Cry like the pathetic child we all know you are. I'll be back to see you later." And with that the mysterious male voiced stranger left through a small door that stood at the top of a few old stone steps.
Daze still didn't hear a thing. She tucked her knees up close to her chest and hugged them into her. She knew it probably best to lave the arrow in for now, that way it wouldn't bleed as much. As she lay on the cold floor hugging her knees close she thought aloud to herself.
" I miss you mum. I don't know where I am, I'm scared, why can't you help me?" Daze cried at her words, she couldn't hear a thing of what she had just said, but she knew in her mind what it was. If only she could remember how whatever all this was started, if she knew how it all started, maybe she would know how to finish it.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
" Well what do you expect me to do about it? Huh?"
" Well maybe you could help us look for her or something." Rylie looked at Nion whose expression was callous as always.
" And I should do that because...?" Nion angrily fiddled with a pencil as Vash and Rylie struggled to find an answer. They didn't have one. "... Look all I know is that the stupid kid hasn't turnt up for a job since Thursday. She handed in her report for Tuesdays job and I haven't seen her since. Is that all? Good now get the fuck out of my office!" Vash and Rylie dare not disobey an order like that so they quickly hurried outside.
" Well that sucked. But who's gonna help me look Vash?" Rylie looked sad. As they continued to walk down the stairs he put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
" We'll find her. Look I'll stop any jobs that'll get in the way ok, I can help that way. And your real useful cos you know a lot about Daze so you have good ideas of where to look." Rylie looked at him and frowned.
" I don't think Daze has run away."
" Why not?"
" Because her planet hopper's still parked at her house. She'd never go away without that piece of junk."
" Oh..."
