Tala kicked the door, causing the door to scream in pain back at him. Tala glared at the door and kicked it again, hoping that by some miracle, it would open. Unfortunately, it didn't.
Kai leaned against the wall, his eyes closed and it looked like he was trying to think about something. Everytime Tala kicked the door, the frown on Kai's face increased and it looked like soon his frown would take over his whole face.
Rei was sitting on the porch step, his elbows upon his knee and his head hung between his legs. Rei's eyes were also closed but it looked more like he was just tired than he was thinking. Rei sighed as Tala kicked the door again and muttered something unintelligent.
Tala kicked the door again and this time Kai didn't just frown but turned and grabbed Tala by the neck, threating to kill him if he didn't stop kicking the door. "By kicking the door, you're not going to get us anywhere. All you're going to do is give me a headache."
Tala's eyes narrowed as he looked Kai up and down. "It's not my fault I can't just stand there like you. I have to do something, I need to get my girlfriend back!" Tala kicked the door again and then walked down the steps, past Rei and turned towards the corner of the house.
"Where are you going?" Rei's innocent voice echoed into the night, ending even the sound of the cricket's that had been singing who knows how far away.
Tala turned to Rei and motioned for him to follow. Rei got up and walked over to Tala. "I'm trying to find an open window or something that we can use to get in." Tala told Rei and tried the first window.
Kai followed along behind Tala, rolling his eyes. "I don't think that you're going to find one. My grandfather is very good at keeping people out of his house." Kai sighed and kicked the window. "See..it won't even crack if you tried."
Tala sighed. "Well there has to be some way for us to get in. And if you don't mind, I'm going to go and find it." Tala began to look around.
Rei rolled his eyes and turned back to the house, fiddling for something in his pocket. Kai watched him for a minute and then called out to him. "What are you doing?"
Rei didn't answer and used whatever he fished out of his pocket and began to fiddle with the hinges. In just a few seconds the door was hanging on it's side.
"Smart." Kai said and tapped Tala on the shoulder, motioning to Rei. Tala smirked and then ran over to where Rei was and help pull the door away from the doorway.
Tala turned to Kai and grinned. "Come on, lets go in."
Shanna banged on the door of the room that April had just walked into, this was not funny. "APRIL! OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW!" Shanna gave the door another good kick and then turned around and slid to the floor. This was not the way this rescue was supposed to work.
Shanna didn't know what April had seen that made her scream, all she knew was that right after she finished screaming, someone had pulled her in the room and shut the door behind her. What kind of person would do that?
The answer to that question of course, was what scared Shanna the most. The answer was someone who wanted April for something. And with this business of the necklace and everything, Shanna could only imagine what this was about.
"Shanna, what's wrong?" Kai's voice flooded the empty hallway and Shanna looked up to see him running towards her. "Where's April?"
"Oh, thank god." Shanna said and stood up, throwing herself into Kai's arms and silently crying. "Someone was in that room and they've got April, I can't get in there, it's locked. I just know that something bad's happening to her; it's just one of those days."
Kai nodded and then turned, looking at someone. Shanna looked too and saw Rei and Tala examining the doors. Rei turned back and shrugged. "The screws are on the other side of the door. I can't break into this one the same way I got us in here." Rei sighed and looked around. "Doesn't your grandfather have keys or something for these doors?"
Kai shrugged. "How am I supposed to know, I only come here on business reasons now-a-days." Kai sighed. "He never told me where he keeps the keys or anything, it just never was something I needed to know."
"Nevermind." Tala said as he looked at the doorknob. "There isn't a keyhole anyways." Tala looked at Rei, who began to fish in his pockets again.
"God Rei, what don't you have in there?" Kai asked.
"A condom." Rei answered and then swallowed his grin. "Sorry, I just couldn't help that. Actually, the only reason I have anything in these pockets is because I was working on Driger earlier."
Kai rolled his eyes. "Whatever, just get us the hell in there."
Shanna couldn't help but to agree with Kai and she snuggled into him, not really wanting to see what was on the other side of that door. She was afraid that it was something she was thinking of, one of the worst scenerio cases. It was not a good plan to think of something like that in this sort of situation but that wasn't really Shanna's fault.
Rei took something and began to poke it in the doorknob, he felt around for a moment and then the door opened. Kai grinned, kissed Shanna's forehead and then pushed the door open, to see....
April pulled her hands, trying to break the handcuffs or something. She didn't actually think it would work, but it was something to occupy her mind for a minute or two and keep her from thinking about the person on the other side of the room.
The person that had taken her in this stupid room was on the other side of it. The person that had ordered Wilbur to kidnap her and Shanna was on the other side of the room. The person that didn't know her, except for the knowledge of her 'powers' was on the other end of the room. This is what happens when you let yourself go first into a room.
This woman had known that she was going to go into Kai's room first. This woman knew that she would have been the first one to go in, this woman basically knew enough about her, to have guessed her every move.
April wasn't even in Kai's room at the moment, so she didn't have anything to look at that would comfort her. They had gone through a secret passage in the wall and now they were in the next room over, the room that Kai had never brought her into before.
A door fell to the floor and April guessed that it was Kai's. Knowing Kai, he had probably came running in here the second her scream was heard and he had broken into his own room, unfortunately, she wasn't there for him to save.
April wished that she didn't have a gag in her mouth, that she could scream for Kai. April was sick and tired of being a hostage. She wanted to go home and sleep in her own bed. She wanted to go home and have to get up in the morning so that she could go to work. She wanted to go home, quit her job so that she could work for "Hiwatari Inc.", so that she could work with Kai and not have to worry about so much. She wanted to have to deal with ordinary problems, not these kinds of things.
April looked up, to see the woman lighting some candles. Probably some ritual April didn't want to be in a ritual, in fact, she didn't want to be here at all and she began to struggle more furiously.
Tala looked around and then punched the wall, and Rei couldn't help but want to do the exact same thing. This was hopeless. They had broken in the room, only to find that April wasn't even in here anymore. What a load of crap. {A/N:I don't think that Rei is exactly happy right now *sighs* Rei: No kidding *rolls his eyes at kim* me: HEY! *goes and chases Rei with an anime hammer*}
Kai began to chuckle, well it started as a chuckle. Then it turned into a soft laugh and then it became a full out laugh-fest. Rei looked at Tala, who looked back at Rei and shrugged. Neither of them were brave enough to ask Kai what was so funny.
Thankfully Shanna saved them all the embarassment of having to ask and asked Kai herself. "Kai, what's so funny?"
Kai stopped laughing, went over to the wall and began to poke at something. Rei and Tala slowly went over to see what he was doing, Shanna at their heels. Just then, the wall turned with all of them going with it. Shanna screamed, Rei gasped and Tala didn't know what to do. Kai was the only one that seemed to know what was going on.
The wall stopped and they were in another room. Rei looked and saw April tied up to a bed post. Rei gritted his teeth and got ready to hurt someone, and one look at Tala told him that Tala was ready to do the same. Unfortunately, Kai got there first.
