Here's the second chapter today...which I'm posting as sort of a gift for you people because I'm just not writing long chapter anymore...Anyways...here you go
Kai ran through the fields next to the road, he could see his limosine was only a few yards to his left but Kai wasn't ready to stop running yet. Kai still hadn't worked out what his brain was trying to tell him. Something told him that he knew exactly who his sister was but something was holding him back and keeping him from remembering who it was.
Kai's breath came in pants but Kai still didn't slow down, his brain turning in his head, trying to make sense of Shanna's kidnapper's game. What was with him? Why was this going doing this to Kai? Why would he kidnap two people that were supposedly so close to Kai and not even mention ransom money.
Kai's mind brought forth another picture of April and Kai pushed it aside. April wasn't who he needed to be worried about right now. April had Tala, Rei and the rest of those guys, she was fine. But for some strange reason, his brain just wouldn't let him ignore April. Kai picked up the phone and dailed April's phone number.
Her cheerful voice came across the line. "I'm sorry but I'm in bed still, leave your name, number and message and I'll get back to you as soon as I wake up. Thanks a lot. Have a great day!"
Kai waited for the beep. When it came, Kai left his message. "Hey April! This is Kai. Listen, I'm not going to be at my office for awhile so if you want to get a hold of me, phone my cell phone instead of my office number. Thanks April. Talk to you later." Kai hung up and put the cell in his back pocket and picked up speed. There was still a lot of things he had to think about.
Shanna swallowed hard, the sound on the walls was back. Shanna wished that the lights were on so that whatever it was would run away or something. But of course, the lights were off and no one seemed to be coming to save her from the 'wall climber'.
Shanna closed her eyes and tried to think of something besides the 'wall climber'. Shanna pictured her Kai, lying in bed. His blue hair was scattered wildly around his face, his hand grasping the pillow tightly while his other held the blanket tight to his body. Every once in a while he made a small sleepy mutter and then turned his head slightly, as if he was trying to see someone. Shanna could almost smell the way he always smelt to her and she could feel his strong arms wrapped around her. Shanna could even hear his voice, telling her that everything would be alright and that he was coming to rescue her. Shanna wondered how long it would be before she could tell him that she loved him again. How long it would be until she could play with his hair. How long it would be before she could laugh with him, cry with him, kiss him, slap him.
The tears that Shanna had felt so often came back and she cried into the emptyness of the room for her Kai, wondering if he could hear her.
Kai finally found his way back to his limosine and climbed into the rear seat. He told his driver to head for the nearest hotel so that he could get some sleep. The driver nodded in agreement and began to make his course.
Kai's concern changed to Shanna, he wondered what she was doing at this exact second. If her kidnapper was hurting her. That thought made Kai's blood boil and he made a promise to himself that when he found the guy he would kick him a couple of times for doing anything to his Shanna.
Kai remembered how Shanna had looked the last time he had seen her. She had come to the airport to see him off. Her hair was back in a ponytail so that it didn't blow in her face as it was quite a windy day. Her cheeks were flushed from the impact of the cold air on her skin. The green eyes that Kai had grown to love so much, were bright and cheerful and yet sad and disappointed. Through the emotions in her eyes, Kai had decided that she was happy that he was still with her but upset that he was leaving her at all. Kai had leaned down to kiss her and he remembered the taste of her on his lips.
Subconsciously, Kai reached up to touch his lips. When Kai realized what he was doing he sheepishly stopped but the memory of her stayed fresh in his mind and Kai couldn't help but wish that she was there with him.
The phone rang again and Kai picked it up. "Hello? Kai Hiwatari speaking."
"So Kai, do you know who your sister is yet?" The voice chuckled. "Do you want a hint?"
Kai's brain snapped into focus and he gripped the phone tighter. "Where in the hell are you? Is Shanna alright?"
"Shanna's fine. What you should be worried about is how to find out who your sister is." The voice clucked his tongue. "So, do you need a hint."
Just then there was wrustling on the other side of the phone and a girl could be heard whimpering. Her voice raised and screeched as something happened to her. Pleadingly she called to Kai. "Kai, Kai, please help me." Her voice sounded so pitiful that Kai's heart automatically jumped.
"Who is this?" Kai demanded.
The girl was about to answer when the phone switched hands again. "Nuh uh uh. No cheating Kai. You have ten hours left to decide who that voice belonged to. Goodbye Kai."
"Wait!" Kai exclaimed but the line went dead again. Kai sighed and ran his hands through his blue hair. That voice had triggered a memory, a memory of someone he had just recently talked to. But who in the hell was it?
