Short chapter and I know I'm late but I felt the need to split this scene and the fight scene apart. Fight scene will be up in a few hours.
SOOOOOOOOO LATE!
Note to reader: A note to all readers im srry im late. And I need to make this known for the chapter I'm posting today: the sterilizer Kaito uses on Kat is the equivalent to tracker jacker venom (for all the Hunger Games Fans out there) It is injected at every meal and about 2-3 at night.
She rotated her hand in the fire evening out the damage to both sides. "But, you won't." She pulled her hand out, nothing; nothing was singed, nothing was burned. "Because you're not real." The door creaked open and quick footsteps brushed the floor. The addition to this intruder didn't bother Kat; she continued to stare into the fire hypnotized by the flames. "Kaito, you're early."
Chapter 10: Part 1
A breathy whisper whisked to her ears, unfortunately the words were muffled and incoherent. Kat peered over her shoulder, puzzled: "What?" Before she could receive an answer her face was crushed into a warm chest.
She was held tightly and clutched to a drumming heart. Kat closed her eyes and inhaled deeply; soothed by the lull of this beating heart. The scent of this stranger told her that they smelled finely of apple cinnamon; light and familiar.
A hand brushed against her head, and her body slowly began to rock: to and fro. She relaxed fully in their arms; she felt more at peace with this person then she had ever felt with Kaito. "Kat I can't believe that you're alright." A sigh slipped past her open lips. This voice, so familiar, yet surreal. This voice couldn't be real. It's not real; he's gone.
Eyes, half lidded and allayed, wandered up the strong figures chest, passed their neck, over their chin. Creamy skin, a slight rosy nose, up to their eyes. Their eyes. Kat stared wide eyed, awakened from her sedated dream with a sharpness. A large scream tore at her throat, evolving into a ear splitting screech. She squirmed and fought against the hold of him, screeching ever moment.
She pulled away from his hold, and scurried away quickly. "Kaito! KAITO!" Like a gazelle fighting away its predator, Kat fought against him, screaming all the more for Kaito.
Confused, Kakashi kept advancing toward her trying to comfort her, but that only made her scream louder and crawl farther away from him. At her last screech for Kaito he burst through the door and waited taking in everything before he made action.
He glared at Kakashi and rushed toward Kat. She clutched at his body: hard sobs racked through her as shallow pants consumed her breathing. "Why do you do this to me?" She stared up into his eyes, confused, tears dripping down her moist cheeks.
"Why do you torment me? Why did you bring him here?" She released him and glanced at Kakashi her gaze filled with repressed longing. All she could do was stare, etch his last image deeply into her mind before Kaito made the illusion disappear.
She shut her eyes tight not wanting to see when he would disappear into nothing and be gone from her sight. Kaito glanced down at Kat, studying her quietly before looking back at Kakashi with his eye quirked. "Well we were fine before you came here and scared her."
Kakashi's eyes flashed down to crimpled Kat as she released a clipped shriek that echoed in the small room. The longer he watched her cower, shriek, and tremble with fear on the floor, the more taut his facial expression became. His eyes snapped up quickly having had enough and refocused on his victim.
All was quiet, except for Kat's small animal like whimpers. She would be the motivation for one of their deaths, how fitting that she would also determine when the battle would begin.
