'Thoughts...'
"Speaking..."
--Flashbacks--
More Then A Change
That was the last straw for Kruger. His mind snapped. No one touched his pet. His mind never registered the howl of pain, the snap of the chain, or the screech of a knife. He only knew that disobedience deserved death.....
Kruger's mind shut down all rational thoughts. He never planned his movements, never heard his voice, or listening to anything but the blood pumping in his ears. He couldn't feel the chain wrapping around his arm and a sickening crack that followed, or the blinding pain of a knife in his thigh. His mind never registered the constant punches he was delivering and the gut-hitting kicks.
Kruger howled in frustration as another sharp pain entered his abdominal. Without thought, Kruger twisted around, the knife twisting in his stomach, and hitting Kamiya directly in the nose. He wasn't sure, but the faint 'thud' of the body hitting the floor and not even a twitch afterwards almost guaranteed that Kamiya was no longer living.
Ishida stopped his attack on Kruger. His beady eyes stared at his fallen companion in crime and his face hardened. Eyes that should be full of hurt were full of anger and hatred. A face that was suppose to show concern showed only that of distaste and a need for revenge. Hands clenched bloodied chains, muscles tightened, and mouth set in a deep frown.
"Wrong move Kruger."
Kruger blinked away the comment and grabbed the knife out of his stomach. He let his gaze flicker to the red liquid dripping of the knife point, falling to the ground... Kruger shook his head lightly. He growled with frustration. Having so much blood around was starting to distract him. Kruger clenched the knife. "Those are your last words Ishida."
"You wish."
Ishida swung his chains towards Kruger. Kruger, slowed down by his many injuries, felt the chains connect with his ribs. He 'offed' and walked towards Ishida.
**--**--**
Blackness swallowed his whole senses. After that knife from, he didn't know who the person was but it didn't matter, his world came to darkness. He couldn't feel the pain that surrounded his whole body, nor the coldness that wrapped around his entire being. He was vaguely aware of sounds around him, but that was all. Thoughts flew through his head, but most of them were unanswered questions.
'What is going on? Where I am? Who were those people? Do I know them? Wait, who am... no, I'm Kai... but why are they here? Where's Mom... and Dad? What happened to them? Why can't I remember?'
Panic flooded him. His nerves were on edge, his body began to sweat, his eyes raced under closed lids.
'Help me! Just someone, help me!' Kai, for the first time in ten years, let a lone tear fall to the ground.
**--**--**
Tyson and Ray rushed towards the warehouse. Ray's heart beat was racing from more then adrenaline but anxiety and anticipation. He wanted to find his Kai, get to him and save him. Ray almost flattered when thoughts of His Kai came to mind. 'Shit, get a hold of yourself.' But Ray's heart thought otherwise because of Dranzer's words.
'Don't think you know everything about Kai, even I don't. But I know for a fact he likes you, it's just hard to get him to do anything about it.'
"Come on Ray, I see an entrance!" Tyson shouted, snapping Ray out of his thoughts.
"Right." Ray and Tyson sprinted forward, faster than before. 'Don't worry Kai. We're coming to get you.'
The boys ran through a open door and stopped. The warehouse didn't have much but there were a lot of crates and boxes. The boys looked around. They stayed silent. Loud bumps and thuds could be heard, but neither knew where from. The sounds were too soft.
"Where do you think those are coming from Ray?" Tyson whispered.
"Just a sec." Ray closed his eyes and listened. Another thump sounded. Ray tilted his head. They were higher up. A loud 'BUMP' sounded and Ray confirmed the sound. "Second floor to the side. Come on, we have to find a stair case."
"Right."
They scanned the room. Tyson was the first one to spot the stairs. "There!"
"Let's go."
They took off. They dodged the crates, swiftly swerving to avoid corners, or just jumping on the top of them and hopping down. A few times a hand would slam into a crate but neither boy noticed the small bruises or splinters. They kept their eyes on the stair case and the quickest route to Kai.
**--**--**
"Come on Kenny! We have to go to Dranzer!"
"I'm coming! You're just really... FAST!" Kenny panted.
"Guess all that running from Tyson is really paying off!"
"I guess so." Kenny muttered with a smile.
**--**--**
Ray reached the stairs first. He stopped and stood still. He heard for more sounds. All he heard was Tyson panting. Ray nodded to Tyson who came up to his side and both boys rushed up the stairs as silently as they could. They hesitated for only a moment to see what way to go before Ray spotted an ajar door. They fled to the door and peeked inside. Neither boy was ready to see two people covered in blood, one with chains the other with a single knife, ready to kill each other.
"Ray..." Tyson paled at the sight of the men. "There." He pointed behind the larger man. Ray squinted his eyes and held his breath.
"Shit." Ray cursed. Kai was hanging on the wall, blood running down varies parts of his body and hanging loosely.
"Watch it!" Tyson grabbed Ray and jumped away from the door. They landed to the right of the door with Tyson on top of Ray. Not a second later, the door was slammed open and pounding against the wall. Two men tumbled out. The shorter man had a chain wrapped around his neck and was turning a ugly shade of purple. The taller man held the shorter man's knife in his hand and drove it into the other's chest, just above the heart.
"Die Kruger."
"Fuck... you." Kruger choked out. He reached down from the chains and grabbed the knife out of his chest. Ishida's eyes went wide with realization. In a blink of an eye, Kruger slide the knife along Ishida's neck. Ishida gargled from his own blood blocking everything. His hands loosened on the chains and fell off completely. He fell to the floor and his eyes rolled up into his head.
Kruger gasped for breath, wheezing as he did so. The wound to his chest was fatal, he knew that. 'I have enough time to finish the kid though.' Kruger never glance to see two boys on the ground or that he crushed his dead companions hand as he walked back.
Ray and Tyson stared only for a moment at the fallen kidnapper. Ray shook his head violently and grabbed Tyson's wrist. "Come on we have to get Kai!"
Tyson trembled and nodded.
They got up and trotted into the room.
**--**--**
Kenny and Max rushed into the house and panted. The bent down and held themselves up by holding their knees. Kenny leaned down farther and let himself fall to his knees. He sat back on his feet and held his hand towards his chest. Max grinned at Kenny and straightened up. He opened his mouth to speak but before he could another voice interrupted him.
"Why hello boys. It's good to see you're back!" A woman with bright jade green eyes and chestnut brown hair smiled at them. Her pale skin seemed to glow in the dark house lighting and her eyes glimmered. She wasn't older than twenty-three years and wore a pair of dark blue cargo pants and a baggy black sweatshirt that had blood red letters dripping down spelling "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" on it.
"He-hello Ms. Knight." Kenny gulped and panted a few more times before relaxing himself.
"Hi Ms. Knight."
"Well, aren't you formal! I'm to damn young to be called Miss. Call me Sapphire, or better yet, Sapph." She smiled. "Can I help you with anything?"
"No, but how is Grandpa doing?" Kenny answered quickly.
Sapphire raised a brow lightly and shrugged. "He's fine. Woke up about twenty minutes ago. You guys sure were out a while. Where did you go?"
"To a friends house to get something." Max smiled.
"Oh. Where's Tyson and Ray?" She gave a smirk and rocked back on her feet. She heard a loud beep from the kitchen and smile. "Woops, there's my popcorn. I'll talk to you later, gotta watch," she posed dramatically like a play in Shakespeare, " 'The Wedding Planner.'" She winked. "With one of the hottest guys on the planet in the movie." She the laughed at herself and raced to the kitchen.
Max chuckled as did Kenny.
"Come on, let's go to Dranzer." Max said still chuckling as he helped Kenny up.
**--**--**
Kruger held the bloody knife in his hands. He stumbled toward the teenager and scowled. So much trouble for one simple boy. He must have done something horrible to Hiwatari to deserve this. Although, the original plan was not followed, there would be none of... THAT... but there was no time. Only death would work. Kruger just scowled harder and reached his destination. He heard a small groan from the boy and gave an evil smirk.
"This is will... so much fun... with you awake." Kruger stuttered.
"Wha?" Kai struggled to open his eyes. He squinted and forced his head up to look at the person in front of him. His eyes widened as he saw the knife a mere foot away from his heart.
Kruger watches as Kai looked up. 'What the-' Kruger's mind raced. Those eyes. Those crimson eyes. He'd seen those before. 'He couldn't be.' Kruger looked at the boy harder. Same bone structure, both hair colors, skin, and those eyes. There was no mistaking those eyes. Few people had that color. "You're THEIR son. You're their child."
"Whose...?" Kai coughed. He didn't understand. He didn't know who that man was, or what he was talking about.
Kruger gave the nastiest, most hateful smile he could muster up. He was going to discontinue the Hiwatari lineage. This was almost to good to be true. "Do me a favor young Hiwatari. As I kill you, scream. Just like your mother and father did before I killed them." Kruger saw a flash of confusion on the boys face.
He raised his knife.
His vision began to go black.
'Hurry Kruger, there's not much time. You'll be dead soon.'
"Good bye young Hiwatari."
He brought his hand down.
His world went black.
