Faith stared hard at May-lin. "You're joking right?" she questioned. May-lin had a dead set look in her eye, something that was rarely seen. Faith knew that all the Kyuuka family could use that look, a glare that rivaled the Hiwatari Death Stare. The Kyuuka look was often used in cases of extreme danger. A gunshot was heard in the distance. "What the hell?" Faith gasped. May-lin grabbed Faith's arm, her forest green eyes dark and hard.
"Kai really is shooting at Jemma. I don't know how long Jemma is going to last but we have to join the others." the chinese girl informed. Faith shuddered a litte. She never really got use to May-lin's sudden transformation during differcult and dangerous times. In fact the Kyuuka look scared everyone in the group.
"Do you know which way they went?" Faith asked, pulling her arm free and running behind May-lin. The chinese girl's purple night-gown blew gently as she ran in front of Faith. May-lin shook her head.
"No. We'll just have to listen out for the shots." she replied. Faith cursed Kai with everything she had. The russian knew one thing and that was Kai was not going to hurt or kill Jemma. Not if she herself had anything to say or do about it.

Kai came to a stop at a fork in the corridor. He swung his gun left then right before lowering it. Where did she go? he wondered. Kai gritted his teeth before shivering a little. The shcool was cold. Suddenly Kai heard a loud noise coming from the right. The russian darted towards the sound, almost slipping on the polished surface. Kai stopped when a light caught his attention. Pushing open a door Kai found himself standing at the stairs which led to the basement. So, she's in the dojo huh? Kai smirked and run downstairs.
As Kai spun round to run down the last flight of stairs, something large and black smacked into his nose. Kai stumbled back before someone punched hard. The russian hit the floor groaing in the pain. Rubbing his nose, kai found he was bleeding.
"Itai!" Jemma groaned, rubbing her knuckles. Kai smirked a little and aimed his gun. He let a bullet fly just as Jemma ran down the last flight of stairs. The bullet tore a hole through her bag but other then that Jemma had no other injury. Kai cursed and quickly got up.
"Get back here!" Kai yelled as he chased after Jemma. The english girl hide quickly in the dark dojo as Kai entered. Cold crimson eyes narrowed. Kai knew he couldn't see that well in dark and turned to flick the light on. Jemma cursed from her hiding place as she pulled her backpack back on. Jemma glanced at hhe watch. It was already half past one. "Jemma! Show yourself!" Kai barked. Jemma gritted her teeth.
I can't let this drag on longer the needed. Kai's guarding the doorway so I can't escape the way I came. Why oh why did I run in here? Jemma moaned. Something silver caught her attention. Jemma smiled at a stack of weights sitting next to her. Glancing over to the right Jemma noted that the window was slightly ajar. The british girl gave the weights a firm shove with sent the crashing towards Kai. The said russian could not do anything before he was sent reeling backwards. Jemma took her chance and darted to the window. Pushing it open with all her strenght, Jemma climbed out and landed on the cool grass.
Kai got up, kicked the weighs back to give himself some room. Scrambling over to the window, he watched Jemma's figure run across the school grounds. Kai was quick to follow.

Faith and May-lin came a stop in the dinnig room. Faith tugged at her dark blue crop top before hearing foot-steps. Elizabeta and Johnny burst in from a side door. "Have you found Jemma?" Elizabeta questioned. Faith and May-lin shook their heads.
"Where's Tala and Brooklyn?" May-lin questioned. She looked round to the other doors wondering if they were going to burst in any second.
"They went to find Mr Dickinson. They might be a while." Johnny informed. The group were silently before a gun shot was heard outside. Faith ran towards the window trying to see throught the crushing darkness. There was nothing. Suddenly one of the windows was pulled back. Jemma tried hard to climb through. However, being so small did have it's problems. Jemma gritted her teeth once more.
"Kuso!" Jemma cursed before a pair of strong hands lifted her through the window. Jemma blinked and stared at Johnny for a few seconds before pulling him in a crushing hug. "Thank you Johnny! Thank you!" she smiled. Johnny messed up her hair before Jemma pulled away. "I guess you all heard the gunshots." she muttered. faith grabbed her friend by the shoulders, all the while wondering how Jemma had remained as calm as she could.
"What did you say to Kai?" she questioned. Jemma opened her backpack and pulled the black note book out. "What's that?" Faith added, looking the book over.
"This is my proof that Kai is Angel." Jemma smiled at her friend's reaction. "I can't explain everything right now. Just trust me on this one." Before Jemma had a chance to put the book back, a bullet knocked it from her hands. "Crap!" Jemma cursed. Kai jumped through another open window and aimed his gun straight at Jemma.
"Too bad, so sad." the russian smirked and went to fire. Jemma closed her eyes, waiting for the bullet to tear through her flesh.
Click!
Jemma opened her eyes and stared at the gun in Kai's hand. The russian pulled the trigger again.
Click!
faith gave a yell of joy. "Ha! Run out of bullets have you Kai?" she scoffed. Her smile fell when Kai pulled his second gun into view. "I hate you." the female russian hissed. This only served to make Kai grin more.
"Sorry to burst your bubble Faith." he mocked. May-lin stood in front of Jemma. Kai narrowed his eyes. "Lin! Get out of the way!" he yelled. May-lin shook her head, the Kyuuka Look on her face again.
"No! This is stupid Kai! Stop this at once!" she ordered. The russian gave her the Hiwatari Death glare but May-lin did not back down.
"I won't tell you a second time. Move now!" Kai roared. May-lin shook her head. Faith, Elizabeta and Johnny looked at each other and smiled. May-lin's courage had now become their courage as well. They stood next to May-lin in front of Jemma, who had become surprised over the events.
"I'm not moving Kai. Jemma is like the sister I never had. I've already lost a brother. I won't lose Jemma!" May-lin screamed. Kai's eyes narrowed and he aimed the gun straight at May-lin. Just as Brooklyn and Tala entered the dinning room, Kai let a bullet fly. It tore through May-lin's shoulder, causing her to hit the floor.
"No!" Brooklyn yelled. He glared at Kai before running towards him and punching him hard in the cheek. Faith and Elizabeta dropped down to May-lin's side as the Chinese girl winced in pain. She sat up and held a hand to her wounded shoulder.
"Lin? Are you alright?" Elizabeta questioned. Faith looped her arm round May-lin's waist and helped her to stand. May-lin winced in pain again as crimson liquid fell to the floor.
"I'll...I'll be okay." she whispered. Elizabeta glanced behind her when she heard a ripping sound. Jemma began to rip the bottom half of her tank top. May-lin glanced over her wounded shoulder and raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing?" May-lin gasped as Jemma wrapped the piece of fabric round her shoulder before tieing it tightly. All the while Jemma's eyes were shadowed by her bangs.
"You risked your life for mine. That has never happened to me before. Thank you so much May-lin." Jemma whispered in reply. May-lin smiled a little before looking back at Brooklyn and Kai. She watched in horror as Kai slammed his fist in Brooklyn's cheek, sending him crashing into the tables and chairs. Jemma glanced to her left and darted off into the darkness to collect the book.
"Brooklyn!" May-lin screamed, running towards the fallen male. Brooklyn pulled himself from under a table and winced when a pain shot through his wrist. May-lin knelt down next to him and inspected his wrist. "Careful. Your wrist is broken." May-lin stated. Kai stood up and looked round the dark room.
"Now where the hell is Jemma?" she questioned outloud. The same question flew through everyone else's mind. It seemed as though Jemma had completely disappeared.
