Kerda: Hm…

Tyson: What's ya reading, Kerda?

Kerda: The story In this chapter. Yes, it'll do nicely.

Tyson: Could I see? (*Tries to grab the story out of her hands*)

Kerda: Hey, back of, Tyson, you'll just have to read on!

Tyson: Aww, but I wanted to have a closer look, besides, why can't I read forward.

Kerda: Um…yah, so anyway, I don't know what you guys think Kai's going to do to Rei. Maybe he will do something and maybe not? Oh, and "4 eva the odd girl in the corner", I don't know what you're thinking Kai's going to do and I don't know if you're right or not, so, read on, I guess. And thank you all who reviewed last time!!! Enjoy…

~Rei's POV~

         " Well, you're wrong," Kai started to advance on me. You're wrong to think you'll ever leave my world…" Oh, I that's exactly what I wanted to do! My eyes met his and I felt that frozen emptiness again in then! Damn, why couldn't I MOVE!? This was the right time to do so…

        " Kai, leave me alone," I suddenly said, surprised at myself as I sat up, prepared for an attack. You have no right to keep me here!" Kai suddenly stopped walking. He closed his cold eyes and leaned against the wall. NOW what's going to happen?

         " Rei, don't you get it," the blue-haired guy said. You're in no position to be telling me what to do!" He suddenly opened his eyes again and sent me his icy glare. Will that guy stop sending shivers down my spine!?   

         " I'm my own man, Kai," I said, feeling a lot calmer than before. So, you can't do anything to stop me from leaving!" Kai suddenly smirked. Even thought I never saw him do that before, I knew I was in trouble!

        " Like I said before this is my world, Rei!" Kai said and in a heartbeat, be was next to the bed and I found myself pinned to the same bed by a pair of strong, half-covered hands.

        " And I don't care if you want to leave or not," I stared right into his eyes. Oh, god, now I was starting to panic. This can't mean ANYTHING good, can it!

       " I…uhh," I was at another loss of words. That hot gaze beat my voice down and my yellow eyes widened.

       " You what?" Kai asked, now in a calmer voice. He still held me tight to the bed and my hands REALLY started to hurt again. It was bad enough he already made the bleed, but now he also pressed on the again!

       I winced in pain as his grip tightened. Boy, now I felt helpless and caught. He really did it!

       " Hurts, doesn't it?" Kai smirked, seeing pain cover my hands. Well, WHAT DO YOUT THINK, KAI?

       " You should know, you're the one who hurt me before," I gritted my teeth as I spoke to him, revealing my fang-shaped teeth again.

       " I know," he said, still keeping a tight grip on me. Insensitive bastard! Oh, god, how I wished right now I could show him a thing or two about not caring! But I knew I was in no position right now to do so, and I knew he did too. Oh, he didn't only know it, he WANTED it that way…

       " Hmph," I turned my head to the side, closing my eyes.

       " Don't DARE to growl at me!" I head Kai's voice above me and suddenly, a hand shot my head up and I gasped, opening my eyes in surprise. For the first time I saw an emotion in Kai's reddish-brown eyes. He was angry. VERY angry!

       " I'm not the type to mess around with," Kai lowered his voice dangerously. As you will soon see…" Before I could say or do anything in response, Kai crushed his lips against mine, making his grip on my hands tighter and making me finally cry out. I guess me saw the opportunity and slipped his tongue inside my mouth, exploring it in every place he could find.

       My eyes widened in shock…this guy IS insane! I mean, put it this way, first he threatens me and makes me bleed now he's trying to MAKE OUT with me! And I'm a male! This does not seem right!

      I squirm to free from his grasp, but it only let him get the better of me. Oh, god, I hated that moment! I hated not being able to do anything against Kai's assault. From the moment he spoke to me, I knew I wouldn't like him…

      Finally, Kai's lips left mine half-open, my eyes wide on horror and my expression plainly surprised.

      " See, I'm not the type to mess around with, Rei," he said, pushing me harder against the bed. That's why you can't stop me from making you remain here. And you will as long as I want you to…" Uh-uh, NO way I'm remaining here with YOU and your sister, especially not with you!  

      " K-Kai, get off me!" I began to speak, now struggling under him.

      " Only if you say you'll remain here," he said stubbornly. That was the only thing right now I WASN'T about to do!

      " No, Kai, I won't stay here," I replied coldly, narrowing my eyes. I was still shocked from the whole thing, but I wouldn't let Kai have the pleasure of seeing me that way. None at all.

      " You're very stubborn, did anybody ever tell you that?" Kai said, now amused for some reason. Look who's talking!

      " Only those who attacked me the moment I entered their room," I replied, forcing myself to look past the guy holding me down.

      " So I see," he said. For some reason, at that very moment I hated Kai even more than ever. I didn't think it was possible, but at that moment I didn't care! I gathered all my strength and pushed Kai off me, knocking him on the floor, jumping up, and preparing to get out.

      Kai sat up on his feet on the floor and gave me another death glare. This one was DEAD serious! I glare d back at him. If looks could kill…

      " So, you thin you can over power me, Rei?" Kai asked, not taking his eyes of me. I snarled back and jumped for the door, but was shoved face first against the wall by you-know-who. Not again!!!

      " I don't think you can handle me that easily," Kai's tone was worse than ever. God, I wanted to get out. That's the only thing I wish for right now, to GET OUT and STAY OUT of this crazy place!!!

         " Believe what you want, Kai, you won't keep me here forever no matter how much you try," I said gloomily.

         " You talk big for someone in your position right now," Kai teased. He was right about one thing, thought, I had to admit. He did have the upper edge on me this time, no matter how much I didn't want to believe it!

         " And you are…urgh," I was pushed against the wall again before I could comment him; cutting my wounds that Korea did on me open. Fresh blood leaked out.

         " I see Korea did a good job on you," I once again felt his hot tongue slither against my neck. Ouch!!! Kai touched my wound with his lips! LET GO!!! 

         Suddenly, as if reading my mind AGAIN, Kai stopped his harassing and licked off what seemed to be MY blood on his lips. He thought for a moment.

         " You're not from around here, are you?" he suddenly asked. That's when I thought I lost it for a moment. I started to struggle so hard, I guess Kai got annoyed and hit me in one of my wounds. I yelled in pain. I couldn't help it! If only you knew, Korea, how much trouble your cuts are causing me…

         " I'm going to say this nicely once, Rei, STOP STRUGGLING," I thought my eardrums popped when Kai yelled. Man, and I thought Korea was loud…

         " So, you aren't from around here, are you?" Kai asked. Was this guy PHSYCHIK or something?! How did he know!?

         " What makes you think that?" I asked. How do you know I'm not from around here? What if I am?" I heard Kai tisk behind me.

         " I can tell by the taste of your blood," he whispered in my ear, making shivers travel down my spine from his even icier tone now. It tastes to pure for you to be an ordinary person…" I gulped. Uh-oh…

         " You're an angel, aren't you?" Kai suddenly asked, making me nearly gasp in surprise. HOW DID HE KNOW? The question kept replaying over and over in my head until I got dizzy. Could Kai have known something about us?

         " I'm…not an angel, Kai, what are you talking about?" I protested. For a moment, it was quiet.

         " Open up your wings," Kai's voice commanded. What?! Sorry, not anytime SOON!

         " I don't know what you mean," I declared, not giving up on my protest. Suddenly, Kai grabbed the middle of my back with one hand and gripped the small portal that made my wings disappear. I yanked hard and I yelled louder than ever. Kai forced my wings out, nearly breaking them in the process…

         I was trying my best to keep the tears of hurt away from my face. My wings were my biggest weakness. They're the most sensitive part in an angel's body. And a near brake hurts more than being stabbed twice in the chest with one of Korea's knifes.

            " Not an angel, huh?" Kai said smugly behind me, rushing his hand through the white feathers on my wings. The pain still didn't leave them, but I managed to keep the tears back. Somehow…

           " Then, what do you call this pair of white flyers?" my attacker's words kept ringing in my mind. Looks like wings to me."

           " So, what if they are?" I asked slowly. Why do you care?" That was a good question. Why did a kid who came out of nowhere care if I have wings or not?

           " I always wanted to see an angel in person," Kai kept on talking. And now I see my wish came true. With a little help from me." Those last words shot through my mind like an arrow:  

With a little help from me…

With a little help from me…

From me…

Me…

Me…

         As hard as it was to admit, he was also right on that one. He was the one who spread my wings apart, nearly breaking them in the process, the one who discovered that I'm an angel, and the one who lives in an old lab, the one who created Max, and, oh god, the one who got me tangled in this WHOLE FREAKIN' MESS!!!          

        But as hard as I wanted to try and blame this all on Kai, I knew inside this was also my fault… for ever agreeing to bringing his lunch here before, for ever wanting to talk to Korea again and for ever COMING here, which I knew was the most obnoxious thing I EVER DID!!!     

        Okay, Rei, calm down, you're letting this situation go to your head too much…

        " So, how do you feel now, Rei?" Kai asked what took me by surprise. How do I feel? Okay, I feel angry, I feel hateful, I feel trapped. How's that for an answer!

        " It doesn't matter how I…" The door opened and a familiar face coming through cut me off. KOREA! Thank god she's back!

        " Hey, brother, what are you and kitty doing?" she asked. I felt Kai loosen his grip on me.

        " Nothing, Korea, we were just talking to Rei," he answered, ruffling Korea's hair. I snorted again. Yah, JUST talking. If only it were true…

        I just noticed how insane I may have gotten in my mind. I've been acting like a maniac inside and I just realized it? Boy, Kai sure can make a person go insane, can't he? I took a deep breath and calmed down.

        " Ohh, are those wings?" Korea asked, seeing the white wings on my back. Oh, no, I forgot to put them away…

       " Korea, we'll leave now, okay, me and Rei have something to discuss, okay?" Kai asked and I looked dazed at him.

        " But, can he come and play later?" Korea asked.

        " Sure," her brother replied. Of course he can!" Korea smiled at me warmly, which made me smile back. At least I can find some warmth from Korea and Max, even thought I can't find any from Kai…  

         Kai pushed me out, closing the door behind me. I carefully folded my wings and faced Kai.

        " If you really want to get out, Rei, I'll give you a chance," Kai explained calmly. Was he serious?

        " What is it?" I asked in a calmer tone than ever, with slight confusion and GREAT surprise.

         " We'll play a game and if you win, you can get out…" Kai said. But, if I in, you stay with us!" Hmm, sounds logical enough.

          " And what's the game?" I asked, feeling slight suspicion. What are you up to, Kai?

          " There's a maze in one of these rooms," Kai said. It's located based on a landscape, used to train animals before. We'll play our game there." Okay…

          " The rules are simple," Kai said, motioning for me to follow him down the dark corridor. There are two escape exits in the maze, and if you get out one of them, you'll be free, but…" He stopped in front of a door and looked at me.

         " I'm going to be trying to catch you, so it'll be kind of like tag," he said. Tag? My freedom's in the stakes of a game of TAG?

         Kai pushed open the door and I stared in amazement at the sight that filled my eyes.  Trees and plants were stretching out before us and behind it all, was a maze with stonewalls. I guess this is the place…  

         " You're given till the count of ten for a head start," Kai said once we were at the entrance of the maze. Go! One…" I didn't wait for him to continue, my legs ripped through the grass as I disappeared down into the maze, trying my best to find the way out quickly, which I felt was going to be hard…

~Normal POV~

        Kai watched Rei vanish deeper into the maze. A smirk played on his face.

       " Ten," he said, preparing to run. And so, Rei, our little game of tag begins…"

Who will win this dangerous game? How did Kai know that Rei was an angel? How will this all turn out to be for the winner? Find out in the next chapter.  

Kerda: Yup, Yaoi was definitely in the script! How was that Tyson?

Tyson:…

Kerda: Okkaayyy, what do you think Max?

Max: Um…very…err…

Kerda: Oh, NEVER MIND, till next time, folks!!!
