Emotions VS Power

Chapter 1

With the latest battle against Maguyser and Dago was finally over, life at the Koji mansion was peaceful once again. Well, as peaceful as it can get with having five guys, three females, and two tigers could be. "Has anyone seen where Kaye went to? We were suppose to go to the mall today." Katie asked as she grabbed her jacket.

"I think that I saw her out back." Ryo said as he was checking over White Blaze.

"Thanks." Katie replied as she headed out back. When she got there, Katie noticed that Kaye seemed like she was in deep thought.

"Kaye, hello." Katie said as she was trying to get her attention. No response, so Katie decided to try again.

"Hey Kaye! Earth to Kaye." Katie said as she finally got her attention. Kaye rubbed her eyes and then turns her attention towards Katie.

"Huh, oh sorry Katie did you say something?" Kaye asked.

"Are you ok, you seemed to be kinda preoccupied with something?" Katie replied as she looked at her with concern.

"Ah yea Katie I'm fine. So what's up?" Kaye asked with a small smile.

"Did you forget that we were suppose to go to the mall today?" Katie asked as she raised an eyebrow at her.

"I guess that I did, sorry about that. We can still go, that is if there's enough time." Kaye replied as she rubbed her eyes.

"We have a few hours before it closes. It looks like you're gonna have to drive though." Katie said.

"Oh really, how come?" Kaye asked as she looked at Katie curiously.

"The guys are supposed to wash Mia's jeep, as well as my car." Katie said.

"Why do they have to wash both vehicles?" Kaye asked curiously.

"Don't you remember? They lost a bet that they had going on with us, so the winner got to choose the punishment. Are you sure that you're feeling all right, I mean either Mia or I could drive if you don't feel up to it?" Katie asked in concern.

"Oh yea, now I remember. Yea I'm fine, so let's get going already." Kaye replied as she started to go inside. Katie watched in concern for her friend. She knew that Kaye hadn't been acting the same since the last battle with Maguyser.

"What's going on Kaye?" Katie wondered.

"Katie are ya coming or what? We're ready to go." Mia yelled from Kaye's car.

"Hey wait up!" Katie yelled as she ran to the car, and the three of them took off for the mall. After a few hours of shopping, they finally decided to go back home. As Mia and Katie were talking excitedly about the party that all of them were going to that night, Kaye was having trouble driving. The car kept on swerving left and right, luckily there were barely any cars out on the road. Then all of a sudden, the car took a swerve to the left, and a semi was coming straight at them.

"Kaye! Watch out!" Katie yelled as she grabbed the wheel, and she quickly turned it, so the car would go back into the right lane and onto the shoulder where it stopped.

"Kaye what happened?" Mia asked as she looked over at her in concern.

"Yea Kaye, you're usually a lot more careful when you're driving. Are you sure that you're all right?" Katie asked.

"I'm fine, there's nothing wrong with me. Now let's just drop it and go home so we can get ready for the party." Kaye replied as she rubbed her eyes.

"Sorry Kaye, but we're not going anywhere until you tell us what's going on." Katie replied sternly.

"Nothing is going on. Why can't you believe me?" Kaye asked with a hurt look in her eyes. Katie and Mia looked at each other, and then suddenly Kaye shouted out. Kaye's shout made Katie and Mia quickly turn their heads in Kaye's direction. They saw Kaye holding her head like she was in major pain, and then it stopped. She slowly opened her eyes and looked up, what Kaye saw were her two friends looking at her in concern.

"Ok that's it, you are definitely in no condition to drive home. I'm driving, so we are going to switch places, and I don't want to hear any argument from you. Is that clear?" Katie asked as she opened her door. Kaye nodded her head, and opened the door and then switched places with her. Katie then started the car and drove the rest of the way home.

"Hey guys check it out, the girls are back." Kento said as he saw Katie in the driver's seat. Kento looked somewhat confused, because there was no way that Kaye would let someone else drive her car without a reason.

Katie stopped the car just as the guys were coming over to meet them. "Katie, I'm fine. How many times do I have to tell you?" Kaye asked as she looked at her in annoyance.

"Oh yea, you're fine all right, if you call fine almost crashing into a semi on the way home, then yea you're fine." Katie shot back, not bothering to keep the sarcasim out of her voice.

"What! Whoa, time out! What do you mean by almost crashing into a semi?" Ryo asked in alarm.

"It was nothing, my vision went blurry for a second, and that's all." Kaye replied.

"No Kaye, that's not all, and you know it. Now either you tell them or I will." Katie said sternly.

"Katie..." Kaye replied.

"I'm sorry Kaye, but the guys have a right to know." Mia said.

"Mia..." Kaye objected.

"Kaye." Sage said as he interrupted. "Go on Mia."

Mia nodded and then continued her story, "you see after Katie took the wheel, and then pulled us over, Kaye yelled out, clutching her head in pain, and then Katie drove us home." Mia explained.

"Kaye, how long has this been going on?" Cye asked as he looked at her in concern.

"Huh, would ya look at the time? There's a few hours until the party, so why don't we just go in and..." Kaye replied as she tried to get past the guys to get inside.

"Hold on, you're not going anywhere until we get some answers." Kento said as he grabbed onto her from behind.

"Kento let go!" Kaye replied as she was trying to get out of his hold.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to let go, we need to know what's been going on with you." Kento said as he was trying to restrain her.

Just then Kaye suddenly stopped struggling, her eyes went wide with fear, "no more, please no more! So much blood, blood everywhere. Voices screaming, screaming for them to stop...Tenshu." Kaye whispered. "Tenshu!" she yelled as she quickly elbowed Kento in the ribs and then stepped back and flipped him onto his back and started to back away.

"Tenshu? Why would she call out his name?" Katie wondered in confusion.

"Kaye, take it easy. We're not going to hurt you; everything is going to be ok. Just calm down." Cye said as he tried to calm her.

"Oh God, Kento I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Kaye said as she saw that Kento was carefully getting up while holding onto his side.

"Heh, that was a really good move. I'm going to have to remember that one." Kento replied as he chuckled.

"Kaye, I think that we better get you upstairs and into bed. You look like you could use the rest." Katie said as she carefully approached her.

"Yea, maybe you're right." Kaye replied as she let Katie guide her back to the mansion. "I'm sorry Kento, I'm sorry," she whispered quietly as they passed him.

"Kento let me take a look at your ribs." Sage said as he approached him.

"They're fine Sage, just a little sore, nothing to be concerned about." Kento replied as he kept his eyes on the front door.

"I'm not going to take that chance, now let me take a look all right." Sage said sternly.

"Fine, but make it quick." Kento replied in annoyance as he sat down and let Sage take a look.

"Well Sage, how is he?" Ryo asked in concern.

"He's lucky, his ribs are just a little bruised, but nothing to worry about." Sage replied as he was done.

"See, I told you. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to check on Kaye and see if she's all right." Kento said as he started to walk away.

"Kento, wait..." Mia said just as he was opening the door.

"Forget it Mia, you know how he gets when Kaye's involved." Rowen replied as they watched him enter the mansion.

"I know Rowen, it's just why is all of this, whatever it is going on now?" Mia asked in confusion.

"Not sure, but whatever it is, I have a feeling that we haven't seen anything yet." Cye replied as they finally decided to go inside.

Kento was just about to open Kaye's door when Katie came out. "Kento." Katie said as she almost ran into him.

"Katie how is she?" Kento asked in concern.

"She's asleep right now, it looks like she's finally calmed down though. How are your ribs?" Katie asked.

"A little sore, but fine. What's going on Katie? What is causing her to act this way, and for how long?" Kento replied in confusion.

"I don't know, but for her sake, as well as for ours, I hope that whatever is happening to her will stop. Because if it doesn't, I wouldn't want to think what might happen if this keeps up." Katie said as they started to go down stairs.

Three hours later...

"Hey Kento are ya coming or what?" Rowen yelled from the banister.

"Yea I'm coming, I'm talking with Kaye right now. Do ya mind?" Kento yelled back. "Now are you sure that you'll be ok here by yourself?" he asked as he looked at her in concern. He didn't feel right about leaving her alone while the rest of them went to the party.

"Kento, I'll be just fine. Don't worry ok. Go and have a good time. Honest, and besides, I won't be completely alone, I'll have Lightning and White Blaze here with me. So go already before Rowen comes up here and physically drags you into the car." Kaye replied as she laughed.

"I don't know, I still think that I should stay here with you." Kento said.

"Hey, I don't want you to miss out on the party of the year, on my account. Besides, I'll still be here when you get back." Kaye replied, as she got closer to him.

"Promise." Kento replied, as he looked deep into her eyes.

"I promise." Kaye said with a grin.

"Kento, come on!" Rowen yelled again as he was starting to get impatient.

Kaye gave a small giggle, "you better get going." Kaye said.

"Ok, but not before I do this." Kento replied as he went to kiss her passionately.

Neither of them wanted this moment to end, but unfortunately Rowen finally had it, he was tired of waiting downstairs. He walked quickly up the stairs, and then stopped when he reached the top. He crossed his arms and started to tap his foot impatiently, "hey Kento, you're the one that somehow for the life of me, I'm not sure how, talked me into going to this party. So we are going right now." Rowen said as he pulled Kento backwards making him and Kaye break apart their kiss.

Kaye gave a small laugh as she watched Rowen drag Kento down the stairs, out the door and to the car, where they finally took off for the party. "Well I guess that just leaves you and me guys, so what do ya say that we get something to eat." Kaye said as she turned around to the two tigers, which were already in the kitchen.
