The Same Day as Previous Chapter
?`s POV
That brat will be brought back today. I hear someone walk in the room but I don`t turn around.
"Mrs. Kazuko, the target is at a restaurant, serving some people." says the voice behind me.
"Excellent, send the spies there immediately." and with that, the person walks away.

Kaylee`s POV
School just got out and I`m walking to work. I work as a waitress and sometimes, a store clerk. I get to work and change into my waitress uniform; you should know what they look like. I walk to a table with a man, a woman, and twins. They look about 8 years old.
"Hello, I`m Kaylee and I`ll be your server this evening. Can I get you anything to drink?" I ask politely.
"Yes, My wife and I would like sweet tea, and the kids would like," the man says pausing to looking at them.
"COKE!" the twins exclaim. I laugh, and write that down, then put the pen behind my head. When I return to the kitchen, I make the drinks and have them back to the family in five minutes.
"Have you decided what you would like to eat?" I ask the family. The man smiles and nods his head.
"Yes, I would like the 8 ounce steak, with broccoli and red potatoes. My wife would like the eggplant parmesan. And the twins would both like the fish sticks and grits." the man says as I write it down. I smile and nod.
"Yes sir, it will be here shortly." I walk away, give the order to the chef, then go to another table in my area of the restaurant. The table consists of a man and a little girl. They look oddly familiar, hmm I wonder if I know them. I better not ask.
"Good evening, I`m Kaylee and I`ll be your waitress for the time you`re here. Can I get you something to drink?" I ask pulling out my notepad.
"Yes. Me and my daughter would both like some sprite if you don`t mind." the man tells me. I fix the drinks and I`m out of the kitchen in a couple of minutes. I take their order and give it to the chef. By that time the other family`s order is ready, so I deliver it.
"Here you go sir." I put the plates in front of the corresponding people, and walk away. When I return to the kitchen, the other family`s order is ready. I walk out with the plates and give the man and tiny girl their food.
"Here you go sir, I hope you find it to be to your liking." I smile as I say that.
"Thank you Kaylee, can you do me a favor?" asks the man.
"Sure, what can I do for you?" I ask thinking he wants some dessert for the house.
"You seem like a lonely young woman. You see my wife passed away last year and my daughter isn`t taking it well still. Can you tell her how to move on?" I`m baffled by the question but I nod anyway.
"Of course." I sit down next to the girl. "Well, you father was right, I don`t have a family, but remember your mother will always be with you, in your heart. And you have wonderful memories of her, don't you?" she nods so I continue "Then cherish those memories with all your heart. Your mother wouldn`t want you to be upset over her. She would want you to be happy, but never forget about her." I finish my speech with tears threatening to fall so I pretend to wipe an eyelash from my eye.
"Thank you, if you don`t mind me asking, what happened to your family?" questions the man. Since when is a customer ever curious about the waitress`s life?
"Well, they kind of disowned me about a year ago, all except for my older brother." I explain sadly. The man smiles and nods.
"I understand. I`m sorry about that, but I`m sure they are looking for you at this very moment." What does he mean by that? And how could he know that?
"Um, thank you, but I must get back to work, I will be back." Then I walk away quickly. The rest of the night goes by fast and soon I`m heading home. It`s raining, and I`m so tired, I could fall asleep right now. I finally get to the house, even though I`m soaked, it`s around midnight because I had to work overtime. I walk upstairs and, into mine and Kyo`s room and fall asleep on the floor, not caring if I get the floor wet.
The next Morning
Kyo`s POV
I open my eyes and discover I`m the only one in the bed. Where`s Kaylee? I look around the room to see her passed out on the floor. Well, there`s my answer. I walk to the closet, stepping over her, and pull out my uniform, then Kaylee`s for when she wakes up. Once I`m changed, I head downstairs and fix breakfast, eggs and toast. I hear steps but I ignore it for now.
"Hey Kyo, what are you making?" asks a feminine voice, Tohru Honda.
"Eggs and toast, want some?" I turn around to see her smile and nod.
"That would be great Kyo. Thanks." she says before leaving. Once I have breakfast done I bring two plates for me and Tohru. She smiles at me and thanks me again before taking a small bite of her eggs. Then a thought occurred to me.
"Hey Tohru, isn`t Kaylee`s birthday coming up soon?" I ask guessing she would know since Kaylee and her spend time together.
"Um, I think it`s on Friday so yes it is." Ok, so today`s Tuesday, I have three days to figure out what I`m getting Kaylee.
"Thanks Tohru, I owe you one for this." I tell her before walking upstairs to find Kaylee still on the ground. She looks a little pale since I was up here. Then, she goes into a coughing fit. Didn`t it rain last night? She walked home in the rain I guess, and now she`s sick. I make her a pallet on the ground, so I can move her without transforming. Once it`s done I gently slide her, so I don`t wake her up, on the pallet, and cover her with the blanket. When I get downstairs I tell Kiyoto that Kaylee`s sick. He looks worried, but he says he`ll stay behind with her, then walks upstairs. After he comes back downstairs, all of us but him head to school.

?`s POV
Finally I get my revenge. Today we capture her.
"Mam, the machine is ready as you ordered." says a voice from behind me. I smirk and nod, and I hear footsteps walking away. This will be fun. The bitch will suffer for all she`s done.

Kaylee`s POV
I open my eyes and I see Kiyoto looking down at me, but I`m too weak to move.
"Hey Kiyoto, where`s everyone?" I ask weakly. Yeah I`m sick.
"They went to school, but I`m staying to take care of you." he smiles and I nod, trying to get up, and extremely failing. Then we hear the door crash. SOMEONE`S INVADING! I hear feet climbing the stairs rapidly, I panic, and Kiyoto pulls me and him into the closet. Kyo`s door is kicked open and I gasp at who I see through the crack in the closet door. MOM?! WHAT`S SHE DOING HERE?!
"Where are you brat, we know you`re here." she says darkly. Then someone opens the closet door exposing us. A man yanks me away from my brother and I scream, but mom slaps me in the face.
"Shut up brat, or you`ll get much worse. And you," she turns her head to Kiyoto, "You`re a disgrace to the family just like her." she tells him coldly. Man, what a good day to be sick. Again, don`t you just love sarcasm? Another man picks up Kiyoto, but Kiyoto kicks him in his crotch and the man drops him. Kiyoto wastes no time in running away.
"Leave the boy, we`ll come back for him later. Right now we have our target." Then everyone walks out the door and we head to the dreaded place I use to call home. When we get there, the man hooks me up to a table. My 'family' loves doing science experiments. That`s why I was scared of them.
"What are you going to do?" I ask, stuttering a little. The man chuckles evilly.
"Don`t worry bitch, when we`re done you won`t even need to know." I`m so scared right now I start tearing up, but when I try to stop them, I fail miserably. Kyo, wherever you are, please help me.
"Now the experiment will begin." says my 'mom'. Then, she flips a switch and a portal opens up. The man unhooks me and walks me to the portal.
"NOOO! I`M NOT GOING IN THERE!" I scream but they ignore me. They lift me up and soon, I`m seeing all kinds of colors, then blackness.

Kyo`s POV
I`m walking to school with Yuki and Tohru when I hear running footsteps behind us. We turn around to see Kiyoto running towards us with a scared look in his eyes.
"Kiyoto? What are you doing and why aren`t you with Kaylee?" I question him.
"Well, our mother may have captured her, and maybe she got away with her." he says weakly.
"WHAT?! WHERE DID THEY GO?" I scream at him.
"I don`t know. Maybe back to our old house, they did a lot of scientific stuff there." he explains.
"Lead the way, NOW!" I yell once again. Soon he`s running off in a random direction, with me following. Soon we`re at a creepy looking house, perfect for a phycho family, like Kaylee`s, I mean, who kidnaps their own daughter? We run inside. I see a portal with a man in front of it. I look at him with a furious expression. I run up to him and grab him by his shirt collar.
"Where is Kaylee?" I ask slowly through gritted teeth. The man chuckles like this is funny.
"The bitch will be forever gone when we close the portal." I`ve got to stop them. I run to the what looks like the main panel but a woman who looks a lot like Kaylee hits a button. I turn around to see the portal gone.
"NOOOOOO!" I scream with rage. By now I`m so angry I knock the closest man to me unconscious. I look at the hag who closed the portal and I start to run at her, but Kiyoto stops me.
"Kyo calm down," but I don`t let him finish.
"CALM DOWN?! CALM DOWN?! MY GIRLFRIEND IS SOMEWHERE I CAN`T FIND HER PROBABLY BEING ATTACKED, AND YOU TELL ME TO CALM DOWN?!" I yell in his face. He flinches at my loudness. Why isn`t he concerned? It`s his sister.
"I can reopen it but it might take a few days." he says calmly in contrast to my panicked voice. I`m so stunned that I can`t speak for a few seconds. A man tries to attack Kiyoto, but I save his sorry ass. I finally speak after I`m done beating the person up.
"How huh? Exactly how are you gonna open up the portal? We don`t know how they did so how?" I question him a million times.
"If I can get to the control panel I can find where she went, then use the DNA tracker to find her wherever she went." he explains, and I calm down a little. He better be telling the truth or I`m going to kill him, my girlfriend`s brother or not.
"Fine hold on a minute." I say running through the wall of men blocking the main controls. After about ten minutes, they`re all down, and Kiyoto`s running for the panel, but is captured by one of the men from behind, and strapped to one of the tables. I try to stop them, but one of the others that I beat, got up and tackled me to the ground.
"Hey let me go!" Kiyoto exclaims but nobody listens.
"No way baby boy. You`ve been a naughty boy so mommy has to punish you now," says the woman who closed the portal. THAT`S KAYLEE`S MOM?! I never would have guessed. Then the man pulls out a needle and injects me with its contents. I feel dizzy before I pass out hearing Kiyoto call my name.
