Memories Chapter 1: The Kidnapping

            Kiyomi stared at him.  "Why has he been so distant these past couple of days?" she thought to herself as she quietly crept up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist and put her head on his right shoulder.  He didn't seem to notice her since he was deep in thought.  "Whatcha thinking about?" she asked as she brushed his hair out of the way and started to kiss his neck.

            "Nothing," Edge said as he turned his head and kissed her on the lips.

            "You're lying to me, and don't try to deny it.  You were always a bad liar when it came to me," she said as she gave him a hug and continued to kiss his neck.

            Edge sighed.  He really didn't want to tell her, because he knew that it would bring up bad memories for her.  Edge gave her a hug and said, "I was just thinking about us."

            Kiyomi stopped kissing his neck and asked, "What about us?"

            Edge was a little hesitant in answering her, "Do you remember what happened around four months ago?"

"How could I forget?" she answered.  She still remembered it like it happened yesterday.

****Around Four Months Earlier****

            It was the Thursday after No Mercy and Kiyomi and Edge weren't together yet.  Kiyomi had made her WWF television debut four months earlier (before then she was known as the Black Ninja).  When Christian first saw her, he had a crush on her.  Now that he lost the IC title to his brother Edge, he was obsessed with her.

            "Why does she spend all her time with losers?  She can do so much better than them.  When will she see that I am her soul mate?" Christian said to himself when he saw Kiyomi walking past talking to Edge and Jeff Hardy.  Suddenly he realized that Kiyomi would never be interested in him.  "If I can't have her, then no one can," Christian said to himself as an evil grin spread across his face.  He concocted a plan in his head.  "Yes tonight Kiyomi will finally be mine," he said to himself, as he got ready for his match against Tajiri.

            After his match, Christian called a hotel and booked a room.  He then put on black clothes and a black ski mask.  "Now all I have to do is wait for the opportunity to present itself," he thought to himself as he smiled an evil smile.  He didn't have long to wait because five minutes later he saw Kiyomi talking to Jeff Hardy in an abandoned hallway.  He grabbed a lead pipe and made his move, he silently crept up behind the unsuspecting duo.  First he whacked Kiyomi in the back of the skull with the lead pipe.  Before Jeff could react, the pipe came crashing down on his skull.  Christian then kicked the younger Hardy brother in the ribs a couple of times before picking up the unconscious body of Kiyomi.  He carried her to his rental car and sped away to the hotel room that was waiting for him.

            "Jeff, man, what happened?  Are you all right?" Edge said when he found Jeff laying unconscious on the floor.

            "Wh- What happened?" Jeff said as Edge helped him up.

            "I don't know.  I was walking down this hallway and I just found you lying on the floor.  Are you sure you're ok man?" Edge said with concern in his voice.

            "Yeah Matt, I'm fine," Jeff said as he put his left hand on the wall to steady himself.  Edge gave him a strange look.

            "Uh, Jeff, dude, I'm not Matt.  I'm…" Edge started to say but stopped in mid-sentence.  Jeff went to take a step and grimaced in pain while he grabbed his ribs.  When he went to take another step he fainted from the pain.  "Shit," Edge muttered under his breath as he picked Jeff up and took him to Team Xtreme's dressing room.  "Matt, Lita, are you guys in there?"  Edge asked as he kicked the door with his right foot.  He heard noises and muffled voices from behind the door.

            "What's your problem?  Why are you kicking the…" Matt said as he opened the door with an angry tone in his voice.  But when he saw the lifeless body of his little brother, his anger vanished and his face drained of all color.  "What happened?  What the fuck did you do to my little brother?" Matt screamed at Edge.

            "I did nothing, I found him like this," Edge said, trying his best to remain calm, as Matt grabbed his little brother and practically slammed the door in Edge's face.  Edge opened the door and watched as Matt carefully laid Jeff on the couch.  Lita went to get the on-call doctor.  While Lita was gone, Matt did everything he could to make his baby brother comfortable.

            "Haven't you done enough already?" Matt angrily said when he saw Edge standing by the door.

            "Look man, I'm only going to tell you this one more time, I found him like this," Edge said, he was starting to loose his temper which was never a good thing.

            "I'm sorry for yelling at you Edge.  It's just that I'm concerned for Jeff, I mean he's my baby brother," Matt said as Lita arrived with the doctor.

            "I know what you mean.  Ever since Christian turned on me, I think of you three as family," Edge said as the doctor examined Jeff.  Lita's eyes were red and she was clinging to Matt.  The doctor injected something into Jeff's arm and stood up.

            "So doc how is he?" Matt said with worry and concern clearly in his voice.

            "He should be fine.  He only suffered from a mild concussion and a couple of bruised ribs.  I gave him something for the pain and he should be waking up any time now.  If he gets any worse, don't hesitate to take him to the hospital," the doctor said as Matt shook his hand.  Right after the doctor left Jeff stirred.  He slowly opened up his eyes and looked around, he tried to sit up but Matt wouldn't let him.

            "You need your rest, it looks like someone used you as a punching bag.  Do you know who did this to you?" Matt said.  You could see the fire in his eyes.

            "No, he crept up behind us," Jeff said as he rubbed the back of his head.

            "What do you mean 'us' I only found you," Edge said with an inquisitive look in his eyes.

            "You mean you didn't find anyone else?" Jeff asked as he slowly sat up, ignoring his brother's protests.

            "No, who else was with you?" Edge asked as he grabbed a chair and started to sit down.

            "I was talking to Kiyomi, when someone attacked us.  They whacked her in the back of the skull with a lead pipe and then they did the same to me," Jeff said as he took a sip of water that Lita handed to him.

            "Kiyomi wasn't there when I found you," Edge said as he, Matt and Lita exchanged looks.

            "She must be somewhere.  Let's go look for her.  Jeff, stay here and get some rest," Matt said as he stood up.

            "No, I'm coming with you," Jeff said as he tried to get up but Matt stopped him.

            "As an older brother I am ordering you to get some rest," Matt said as Jeff reluctantly laid back down.
