Chapter 3


C'mon, you can do this! Just 10 more push ups!
As soon as she thought those words, she collapsed "Oi, no wonder they almost captured me. I'm too out of shape."

"True. You are gaining a little on the round side." A voice replied.

She turned and scowled at the man. "Ever heard of privacy?" she bit out.

He had the nerve to think for a moment, "if I said yes, would that mean I'd be here?"

He dodged a swipe. While waving a finger he chuckled, "besides getting fat, I think you maybe getting senile as well!"

She frowned, "just tell me why you're here," one could practically see the steam coming from her ears.

"Okay, okay," he paused in a dramatic gesture, "we, well, let's just say. . . "

Okay. Take you're time. . .

". . ."

"How do I explain this?"

"Wasn't that the point?"

Rivers looked sheepish for moment, "I might was well get it out!"

I think I'm getting a headache.

She arched an eyebrow.

"Um, you're ex-boyfriend is in town." he looked down on his shoes.

Silence

He looked up in surprise, "Oi, you okay?" he waved his hand in front of her, before she grabbed it with force.

"Ow, ow, ow, owwwww!"

Her eyes widened before she let go. "Is he coming here?" she murmured, not bothering to say sorry.

He sighed, and then nodded.

Things are about to get complicated.


He grinned, the chase is almost over.
Her daily walk led her to the city's park, where she sat down.

He's back.

Wasn't that a given?

He told me that day, "the day I locked eyes with you, claimed you as MINE. And mine alone. . ."

You knew he'd come after you...

Yet, I never knew what he'd become.

Take a good look at a mirror and tell me what you see.

I'd probably see-

Her thoughts were cut short as ball smacked her square in the face, "Oomph!" she fell backwards into a strong muscular chest that served to stop her from falling, while the person's arms steadied her.

She turned her head around to 'thank' her savior, "thank you so-" she paused to look in the man's eyes.

Amber eyes.

But, was that black hair?

She struggled to get out of his grip, but failed to do so. "Let go of me you-" he silenced her with a kiss.

As the heat traveled lower and lower in her body, her senses finally came back, and she bit his bottom lip to the point of bleeding.

He howled in pain, while his hand came to his abused lip instinctively.

She used the opportunity to escape his hold on her, and ran.

Just keep running! Don't look back!


Meanwhile. . .

He licked his lip, "run while you can my little birdie," he chuckled. He turned on his heel and walked in the opposite direction from what Kaoru took.

This is going to be a fun chase.
