" YOU'RE NOT ISRAEL, ARE YOU?!" She asked. I felt cold fingers crawling up my spine. " What did you say?!"" Jericho," Sienna said. " You must be Jericho, is that correct?!"**Sienna had driven me away from the hotel in her Mercedes. She believed the walls have ears and decided we should talk where we'd never be heard. We arrived at a small Japanese outdoor restaurant where Sienna ordered Shioyaki and beer. Shioyaki was simply salt-grilled fish on a stick. " It may look like a simple ‘fish-on-a-stick," Sienna said as the waiter dropped the dishes on the table and bowed out. " But there’s more to shioyaki than meets the eye. The fish has been ‘salt-grilled’, a particular Japanese technique that sees the fish, usually heavily-salted mackerel, left to marinade overnight and then grilled over flames the next morning."I picked a stick and opened my mouth to take a bite." Be warned," she said sharply. " Shioyaki is super salty. But it's perfectly accompaniment to an ice cold jug of
A CAT HAS 9 LIVES THE POISON LOTUS
What is it like to spend an evening with a geisha? I recently got to do this. Horuto, Nagisa's uncle was organising an evening with a couple of geishas in a private tea house, of which he was the owner.A Toyota 2000GT drove outside the Horuto's chashitsu. I came down the car and tossed the keys to a waiting grinning Japanese servant boy. " Take care of her," I said to him and adjusted my suit. The boy nodded and bowed. There's one thing I love about Japan. They do know a lot about accuracy and order. I've enjoyed their parking service. It's nice. I stared at Haruto's Chashitsu. It was just as Knife had described it to me. Chashitsu is a Japanese architectural space designed to be used for tea ceremony gatherings. Aside the teas, Haruto's Chashitsu also has an onsen. An onsen is a natural hot spring bath, and thanks to its plentiful volcanic activity Japan has lots of them. Onsen water is geothermally heated beneath the ground and rises to the surface bubbling hot. Haruto st
A CAT HAS 9 LIVES CAUGHT OFF GUARD
The tea ceremony ended well and every guest was ushered to his and her room. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Sienna whispering at a servant. I'll bet she was telling the servant how much she admired Nagisa and would like to see her privately. I returned back to my room, certain for a fact things were going the way I wanted. After the servants left me behind, I quickly undressed and got back into my suit. I reached for the shoji door and slide it shut. I wasn't going to waste anymore time. Nagisa and knife were already waiting for us outside the chashitsu. I waited a little while, studying my wrist watch as the time went by. Then I placed my ears on my door and listened attentively. Now the guests room had a long passage that was rarely frequented by anyone. One each side of the passages was a room for a guest. The guest needed quiet and relaxation and that was exactly what Horuto provided. I waited a bit longer. Then I saw a shadowy figure through the shoji doors walking gra
A CAT HAS 9 LIVES DEAD
Sienna had dressed into a kimono and was titivating herself before the mirror. She was at it when her shoji door slid opened, revealing Nagisa. Sienna took in a deep breath as she turned around and faced Nagisa.She was aware this pretty Japanese girl would be difficult. With the little information Jericho had fed her ears with, she was certain she could take Nagisa down. Nagisa hadn't changed out of her geisha outfit yet. She still held that captivating look that had stunned Jericho. She knew Nagisa had made an impression on his mind. Whatever the reason was, she was prepared to carry out her duty to Israel. She must protect Jericho and earn his loyalty same way she had always done to Israel. " You asked for me?" Nagisa asked and it was surprising how soft and compelling her voice sounded. " Yes," Sienna said, brushing a strand of her hair aside and working her charm. " That was an extraordinary performance you did back there. I love it."Nagisa bowed slightly. " Thank you."Sie

What happened? How did Horuto ended up dead? Who killed him?I recalled being thrown over a table, crashing down with my back. Horuto's eyes were mean-looking and horrific like a hypnotic killer." Who the hell are you?" Horuto asked and his eyes glittered.He was holding his sword in his hands. I was just a strike away from being killed. I need no prophet to tell me that.Then my mind wandered off to Sienna. If this bàstard was this deadly, how much more Nagisa?In that instant, I regretted setting Sienna up with Nagisa.Nagisa would kill her.At that very moment, I became worried. Worried about Sienna and her baby. If anything goes wrong, Sienna might lose her life and the life of her unborn child.I didn't want her to die. I wanted to protect her and the baby.

His blade tore opened a deep cu
A CAT HAS 9 LIVES LORELEI'S A MAN?
Nagisa sat at the back while Knife drove. I sat beside her, sticking the tip of my gun under her rib cage. I had taken the trouble of having her handcuffed. She wouldn't be causing any trouble as long as I had her hands cuffed behind her back. Sienna sat at the passenger seat at the front. She kept staring at Nagisa and I through the rear mirror. It had been a smooth operation. We sneaked out of the Chashitsu before the servants would realize the massacre. None of us said anything to each other during the long drive. You could feel the tight tension in the car.Suddenly, Nagisa spoke, " Where're we going?"I didn't know if to answer her or not. Knife glared at her through the rear mirror. His expression told me he disapproved of her greatly." Shut up," I said, threatening her with the gun. " I don't wanna pull a bullet through your heart."Nagisa smirked at me. " Try it. You wouldn't dare open fire in traffic. If you do, you'd be inviting the cops."The traffic was getting slow. Th

I lit another cigarette and leaned against the barrister rail, overlooking the vast ocean. The moon was out with glittering stars across the waters. It was a lovely night. Perfect for love making, that is if you're crazy about séx under the moonlight. As I smoked, my mind came back to the conversation Nagisa and I had just had. It came as a shock to me when Nagisa revealed to me Lorelei was a man. It was the last thing I expected. I mean all these time, Israel must've been busy searching for a woman when in actual fact, he should be after a man. My reaction to this news showed my shock. I recalled our interrogating session:" Lorelei is a man?" I had asked, clenching hold of the arm of my chair and leaning forward at Nagisa. " How is Lorelei a man?"" He's a man all right," Nagisa said. " Don't ask me how? I don't know. He chose that name to keep his enemies off balance and confused. Taking the name of a woman gave him liberty to walk around freely without being targeted by his en

" How did it come to this?" I asked myself. " How did I ended up losing myself back there?"I remained seated on the chair, alone with my own thoughts. Lying lifelessly on the ground was Nagisa–dead. I didn't want to kill her. I had plans to use her in the future but Israel killed her before I could stop him.Why had he killed her?Was it because I resisted him from shooting Sienna? Or was it a means to threaten Sienna that he meant what he said about Killing her?Raising my hand to my face, I glared at the gun I had used to shoot Nagisa. These hands have been stained with too many blood. Was this what it felt like to be Israel?Sienna had been quiet after I had finally settled down. She left an hour ago and hadn't returned back. Knife and Ginny had heard the gunshots from outside but they didn't bother barging in. I was disgust with myself. I was disgusted because I realized I was losing my self. This wasn't me anymore. I was fast becoming an uncontrollable monster. No not a mons

Author's POV:The television screen switched off as well as the camera. Lorelei crushed his cigar on the ashtray, slowly and hard. Inwardly, he was bitter with resentment and worries. If the information gotten through to him was true, then the situation was dangerous. How had Israel gotten immortality? Was he as ghost? It's been three times attempts have been made to kill Israel and yet he keeps coming back?What sort of diabolic power has be possessed?Rising up to his feet, Lorelei left the camera and proceeded to his Private elevator.

The garden was beautiful, possessing big hedges on all places. Lorelei walked down the pavement down a stairs where he stood over a balcony. He adjusted his spectacles as his eyes studied the girls below.Little girls, not less than twelve years old and above wandered around the love
A CAT HAS 9 LIVES LITTLE TRIGGER
" Tell me the truth," I said. " Is Lorelei in South Africa?"Nagisa was lying flat on the bed, staring up at the ceiling. The thin sunlight coming through the mist highlighted her dark hair and deepened the shadows under her eyes. She didn't say anything. I could see she was hesitating. My lips lifted up in a mean smile. " You wouldn't say anything, would you?"She remained silent. I sighed. " Oh dear, it can't be helped could it?" Then I stood up and walked over to the tray of Knives on the table. " How about we play a game, Nagisa. For every question I ask you, if I don't get a valid answer, I cut off your fingers."Even that, didn't seemed to shake her. " What makes you think he isn't in South Africa?"" Now don't be difficult," I returned back to her with a razor sharp knife. " The fake Nagisa you set me up with told me Lorelei's in South Africa but I don't believe it. I think she's lying. What the hell, she is lying, isn't she?"Nagisa's white face was regaining it's colour no

I came over towards the bed and sat down beside Nagisa. She shriveled at the sight of me. I glanced down at her and smiled at her pretty face. I've never seen anyone so frightened like the way she was frightened. Her lips trembled as she spoke. " What's happening? Who're you?"It's funny isn't it? How many people who'd killed me always asked me that very same question. This power is amazing. You could get killed by your enemy and then when you return back to life, they start asking who you are. As if it were the first time seeing you in their life." I'm Israel," I said. " Your Nemesis."I was putting into words exactly what Lorelei had said to me. Now it's being directed to Nagisa. Nagisa gulped. " You're a ghost?"" More or less," I said. " Surprised?"Her eyes widened. " There were two of you. How's that possible?"I didn't want to get into details how I've worked everything out under her nose to capture her. It wasn't necessary. I needed something from her and I'm gonna get it
A CAT HAS 9 LIVES THE SUCKER PUNCH
Let me take your mind back how it all happened. As I do so well. Everything was all planned out before I even got on my flight to Tokyo. When I mentioned I trusted Ginny, I did actually trust her. Why did I trust her? Well simply because she threw in with me and was willing to dump her former boss. Also, I got to realized she had a thing for me. Call it love if you like but I know when a woman's got hot pants for a man when I see one. Ginny didn't hide the fact that she liked me. Before my private jet landed in Rome, Knife and Ginny and I had already outlined the structure of our plans. Apparently, Ginny had exposed Nagisa's biggest secret. Nagisa wasn't just a poison expert, but she also had an incredible art in creating doppelgangers. She transformed young beautiful women to look exactly like her through the art of make-up. It's not rocket science nor magic. It's just pure art. I got to learn Nagisa did a six years course on theatre art. She was also a teacher in that field, t
A CAT HAS 9 LIVES IS SHE OUT?
Lorelei studied me for a long moment. My bet was he must be viewing me from a screen. I spotted a camera recording at the far corner of the wall. " Giovanni Israel," he said in a voice you could crack a nut on. " How long do you hope to hunt me down?"" Not as long as I hoped for," I said mildly. " Never thought you were a man all along."Lorelei laughed. It was uncanny how easy it was to converse with him without seeing his face. I really wished above all things to look at that bàstard's face. " Very funny, Israel," he said. " Which is why I've kept under cover all these years. My anonymous nature keeps me in the clear which is why it's difficult for you to catch me."I noticed Nagisa was preparing her poison. She didn't give me a second glance. " How does it feel, Israel," Lorelei said. " To be cornered like a rat?"" Feels horrible," I said. " Funny as it sounds but I've been through this road before."Lorelei could be smiling behind that screen. " I see you still have your sens
A CAT HAS 9 LIVES I AM LORELEI, YOUR NEMESIS
BANG!!!! A gunfire went off. I stopped in my tracks and fell on both knees. One of the Ninjas held me at gunpoint. He had driven a bullet into my left leg to stop me from reaching Nagisa. Quavering with rage and fury, I snarled at Ginny. " I should've killed you when I had the chance, you two-faced bítch."Ginny smirked. " Sorry, handsome. I cannot betray the Capellos. You can't serve two masters at the same time. I choose to serve Lorelei till the end of my life."I gritted in pains as my bullet wound began to heal. The bullet pulled out from my leg and dropped to the ground. Nagisa watched all these with rising interest. She was so calm and quiet, she scared me. " Where're the others?" She asked the Ninja with the gun. Her Japanese was strong and impressive when she speaks. Surprisingly, I could interpret the language as if it were English. " My men are hunting the Sienna woman. Regrettably, we lost the fat man."The were talking about Sienna and Knife. Nagisa asked quietly.
