Kai's Dread.
Saya was gone, taken by Solomon; Haji was gone as well since he had given chase. Haji would be able to find Saya anywhere since he was Saya's chevalier. Kai wanted to stay at the hospital with Louis and Julia but they had sent him back to the apartment to wait on Saya. David was in surgery after getting shot by Diva's former Doctor. The older professional had his fame and fortune in chiropteran research taken from him; he blamed Julia since she had replaced him.
So much had happened at the air show, Corpse Corp soldier showing up to slay an out break of monsters. It had all been a plan, to sell the super soldiers to the highest bidders, which happened to be the US military.
Kai had filled Louis in on Diva's pregnancy; Julia had backed him up. The news was indeed shocking. Kai was filled with sadness and self-doubt; so many times he had failed to come through when he was truly needed. This last go around he had failed to help Saya and failed to kill Diva. Time was running out, soon Saya would go into her hibernation cycle.
Mao was waiting in the apartment when he flopped down on the couch. She was acting strangely but then again weirdness was always her M.O. She was a pushy rich girl who made herself into his girlfriend no matter how many times Kai told her off. After she had kissed him he got up and went into the bathroom. He looked at himself in the mirror and did not recognize himself at first. There were dark sacks under his eyes, and his whole face seemed to be sagging. He took off his blazer and shirt and winced at the bruises forming around his wrists from Amshel's vice like grip. There were also marks on his arm from Diva's incessant pulling.
Kai growled. "Damn you Diva."
The monster had raped and killed his little brother. He had turned his and Saya's world upside down because of Diva so many people were dead. His dad, Irene, Saya, Riku, and Haji were all victims of Diva and her chevaliers. Diva was like siren, appealing to the eyes, with a voice like an angel, but get to close and she would devour you whole. He rubbed his bleary eyes, and weary neck. His shoulder had a particular sore spot; drawing closer to the mirror he noticed a raised red mark.
He grumbled. "Great on top of everything, I am getting back acne!"
That was probably Diva's fault too; he could still smell her scent. He needed to shower to washer her feel and scent off his skin. Suddenly he started to hear a song in his head. It was the music and song he heard at the air show.
Placing a hand to his ear, "Diva's song, why am I hearing it now?
He looked around for the source of the song, but there was no radio in the bathroom. It was probably from the next room over, the wall were so thin here. He turned back towards the mirror, and saw Diva's reflection standing behind him.
He gasped. "GAH!"
He went to pull his gone but it was not there, he must have left it on the table next to the couch. Looking back at the mirror he sighed in relief since there was no other reflection in the mirror.
The song still played and he wished it would stop. "I'm just stressed."
He turned on the shower and waited for the water to heat up. Looking back at the mirror, he stood still since Diva's mirror self had returned. He whipped around but he was alone in the little room. Diva looked like Riku at first, then her features changed so that she looked more like Saya except with long hair and sapphire eyes.
Kai thought. "This is just post traumatic stress!"
Diva placed her arms around his mirror self; it was like watching a macabre movie.
Kai tried to look away but he couldn't. "Damn you! I'll kill you, I swear on Riku's grave!"
Diva seemed to laugh at him; she shook her head, and caressed her belly. She was reminding him of the children she carried, Riku's offspring. Kai's eyes darkened as he stared Diva down; fueled by his rage and hate for the other girl, he slammed his fists into the mirror. There was no sign of Diva's image in the shards; Kai ignored the stinging cuts on his hands, and he climbed into the shower.
