Koneko watched helplessly as T'zor landed near an abandoned looking building not too far from their last location. He pushed her forward, causing the smaller girl to hiss and curse under her breath. He pushed her again, making her fall through a rickety door. The sqeuaking of the hinges caused Koneko to whine and cover her ears. Koneko closed her eyes with her ears covered completely. 'Why did he bring me here...what do they want with me?' The though buzzed around through her mind, until T'zor pushed her to the ground in front of Blackfire's fimiliar frame. Koneko glared up at Blackfire and bared her fangs. Her hair bristled when she heard Blackfire's voice. "Koneko, it's nice to see you again." She bent down and picked Koneko up by her shirt up pulled her face closer. "You seemed to be very close to my sister." T'zor cut in, "Closer than you think Blackfire." Blackfire turned her attention to him and raised her eyebrows. "Really," she turned her face back to Koneko's and continued, "how close exactly?" Koneko's hair bristled even more and she gripped Blackfire's hands and hissed. "Maybe it's none of your business, shit, it's not even really anyone's but our own and T'zor just..." Koneko sighed and finished her sentence with a hiss. T'zor walked up behind Koneko and watched Blackfire. "Apparently she and your sister have a secret relationship, they're much closer than friends should be." Blackfire let go of Koneko. T'zor restrained her hands before she could react. "Really?" T'zor nodded and squeezed Koneko's wrists tighter. "I saw her makin' out with your sister right before she flew off," T'zor chuckled, "they probably did more than that at one point."
Koneko surpressed a growl as she snaked her tail around T'zor's ankles.. She swung her tail forward, causing the older Tamaranean boy to fall back and release his grip on her. She rubb7ed her wrists and bared her claws, in case he thought of trying to counter. He jumped back to his feet and lit his hands up with his blue energy. Blackfire glared at him and shook her head. He mumbled and put his hands down to his side. Koneko's ears twitched as she hid a small smirk. She looked and Blackfire and put on her best poker face. "So why did you have him bring me here?" She rubbed her wrists nervously, but kept her face frozen with slight disinterest. Blackfire watched her and then cupped Koneko's face in her hands. Koneko's eyeborws rose, but she did nothing to stop the Tamaranean. "It's simple, I just want you to get rid of my sister and her friends by any means necessary, but this time," she pulled a black collar looking object out of her back pocket and wrapped it around Koneko's neck, "I don't want you to fail, mmkay?" She brushed her lips slowly and teasingly against Koneko's and then pulled away.
Koneko shivered and then tugged at the collar, only gaining a rather painful shock. Koneko yowled and then glared at Blackfire. "What the hell just happened?" Koneko yelled. Blackfire laughed maliciously. "That collar produces something painful everytime it's messed with, even to the point of becoming so tight, the wearer eventually suffocates to death." Koneko's hand froze in mid air after hearing her sentence. "What?" Blackfire smirked. "You heard me, and this time we'll be going with you to make sure you finish what I started." Koneko glared at her and brushed her fingers lightly against the collar, wincing slightly as it gave her another mild shock. "So you're just using me, you don't care about what happens to me," she sighed, "I bet you never did." Koneko felt tears starting to form in her eyes. Blackfire had her back turned to the younger girl. "What did you think, that I took you in because I cared anything about you?" She scoffed. Koneko stared at Blackfire's back and wiped her eyes. She hissed quietly as her hair started to bristle again. T'zor and Koinu watched both girls. Koneko glanced around at the boys and then asked, "What about them, you care more for the boys don't you?" T'zor and Koinu looked at Blackfire, waiting for her response.
"Them? Of course, they're the strong ones." The boys chuckled as they watched Blackfire and Koneko. Koneko rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "Whatever, when am I supposed to go?" Blackfire turned to her, "Whenever I say so." T'zor grabbed Koneko's arms and led her out of the room, down a dim corridor, and to a near empty room. Koneko looked around and saw a flickering light bulb swaying over an uncovered mattress and broken television. "You're serious?" Koneko asked. "Yep, now stay put and shut up." T'zor told her. He shoved her through the door and slammed it shut behind him. Koneko laid on the ground and blinked when she heard something clatter next to her. 'Wha...my communicator!' she thought excitedly. She pushed a button and tried reaching Starfire. 'Please pick up.'
"Hello?" came the fimiliar voice Koneko loved. "Starfire." Koneko said. "Oh Koneko, how are you my friend?" Koneko sighed and said, "Not too good Star, I need help." Starfire's voice started to sound more urgent. "What is wrong, are you ok?" "Blackfire and her lackies have me held here in some building." Koneko tugged at the collar again and then yowled when she felt the collar grow hot. "Starfire, your sister put some kind of collar on me and it hurts me, I get shocked and burned and and..." She felt warm tears slide down her cheeks. "And I just wanna come back to the tower." The other line was silent for a few seconds then a question was asked. "What does she want you to do?" Koneko looked at her communicator and replied with her own question, "How'd you know she wanted me to do anything?" "Blackfire would only use that collar if she watns some one to do something for her." Starfire said. "How do you know Star?" The line went quiet again. "Star?" Koneko asked. "Because...she's used it on me before." Starfire finally told her. "Why?" "She...made me..." Starfire's line went quiet again. Koneko's ears twitched. "Star whatever she did, tell me later, but I really called to tell you that Blackfire wants me to attack you and the Titans again, and this time, she and the other two are coming to make sure I finish all of you." No response from the other line. "Starfire?" Koneko's ears twitched. "Starfire, if you're mad I-" "Just save it Kitten, and when you and your little group come, we will be ready." Robin's voice sounded through the communicator. Koneko started to object, but decided against it. "Ok..." The other line went dead.
Koneko glared at the communicator and threw it against the far wall. 'Damn, if I lose Star over this...' She clenched her fists and stood up. She walked over to where the semi-smashed communicator landed. She looked over it and picked it up. She pocketed it just before Blackfire opened the door to the room. "Let's go." Koneko glanced over at her and walked to the door. "Whatever..." She walked out, closely followed by the raven haired alien and her boys. 'Whatever happens, I just hope Starfire and the Titans will be ok...'
