Kai Has A Girlfriend IV

Chapter Eight

Shanna blindly ran forward through the wooded area that she had gone into. Crunching of sticks and other wood told Shanna that Luke was behind her, and not the far behind either. Tears continued to fall down Shanna's face as fear over took her. Fear that Luke was going to catch up with her and fear that there wouldn't be anyone around to stop him this time.

Kai had been there last time but he wasn't going to leave his date behind this time. The only reason Kai had come out of that stupid door when he did was because he had wanted a make-out session with that girl. Not because he had been looking for her.

Suddenly someone grabbed her hand and turned her around, pressing her flat against a strong chest. Shanna cried out in pain and horror, not knowing which one was the worse one.

"Well well well, looks like we're all alone again Shanna. All alone and you don't have your little boyfriend around to protect you this time." Luke chuckled and Shanna winced, hating the sound of his voice. "Now you're mine and that's all there is to it."

Shanna fought against Luke's grip, trying to free herself so that she could run again, not wanting to be here, not wanting to have to deal with this anymore. It seemed to hurt even more as Shanna tried to pull away but Shanna didn't care, ignoring the pain, just wanting to get away.

Luke chuckled again and Shanna cried out in pain as he hit her upside the head, causing her to fall against him, the blackness of unconsciencousness threatening to take over. Shanna fought the blackness however, not wanting to leave herself vunerable to Luke anymore than she already was. Who knows what Luke would do then.

Luke grabbed Shanna by the hair and pulled her backwards a little bit, so that he could look in her eyes and scare her no doubt. Shanna wanted to close her eyes and turn her head but she didn't want to face the punishment that might come with that action.

"Fight me and it'll hurt even more." Luke warned her. "And trust me, it will hurt if you try anything."

Shanna nodded, not knowing what else to do. More tears ran down her face and stained her cheeks, causing her to taste dirt and salt in her mouth.

There was another crunch of wood in the distance and Shanna took a deep breath, hoping against all odds that it was someone that could help her. Someone that would get her away from this guy and safely back to her house.

Then Shanna heard a voice and breathed out in relief for her wish had come true.

********************************************************************************************************************************************************

Kai had followed Luke the whole way to the forest and then lost him about halfway through. Fortunately, Luke hadn't known that he was being followed and so made no attempt to keep his threats quiet and Kai had been able to follow them all the way to where him and Shanna were standing.

Kai witnessed it all as Luke pulled Shanna to him, causing her more pain than she was already in. Her petit body pressed up against Luke's tall, strong and smelly one. Kai was going to make this guy pay for touching Shanna and he was going to make sure that he wouldn't be able to do this to anyone again. Even if it meant Kai had to rip off his fingers one by one.

Then Luke pulled Shanna's beautiful black hair and that was all that Kai could take. He took a step, making sure that the twigs broke underneath his foot so that Luke and Shanna would both know that he was there. Kai watched as Luke's face filled with absolute horror and Kai grinned.

"If you don't let go of her now, I'm going to make you let her go and if I have to do that, lets just say it won't be as nice for you." Kai said, his tone emotionless. Kai had learned that people fear those who don't have any emotions in a situation, than those that are angry. "You have to the count of three."

Kai noticed that Shanna breathed out in relief when she heard his voice and Kai was glad. Obviously she knew that Kai wasn't going to let anything happen to her. Which was a good thing, that way she would know not to panic if it got alittle ugly. Which wasn't likely to happen, but still.

"One." Kai said calmly.

Luke began looking for an escape path. Somewhere he could go that would get him the hell away from Kai. Unfortunately for him, Kai had already made sure that there was no way he could get out that wouldn't slow him down enough that Kai would able to catch him in a matter of seconds.

"Two."

Luke was panicing now. That punch that Kai had given him earlier was probably still running through his head and Kai was sure that this guy didn't have a taste for another one. So why wasn't he just letting Shanna go? Obviously there was something to this that Kai hadn't clued into yet.

"Three." Kai said and then calmly started to make his way to where Shanna and Luke were standing.

"Don't move." Luke said, pulling a gun out of one of his pockets. "Or I shoot the girl."

Kai froze in horror but then realized what he'd have to do.

********************************************************************************************************************************************************

Shanna did not like the sensation of having a gun pointed at her head. Not one little tiny, microscobic bit. Shanna took a deep breath and found that it made her head press up against the gun even more. After that, Shanna didn't want to breath anymore.

Shanna looked at Kai, wondering what he was going to do. To Shanna's surprise Kai continue to move towards them. Shanna whimpered, as the gun pressed into her head but Kai wasn't even fazed.

"Shoot her." Kai ordered. "I don't care. All it'll do is give me another reason to throw your ass in jail. Sure I lose a cute lady in the process but hey, there's another one waiting for me at my hotel. So go ahead and kill her and do us all a favor."

Shanna felt more tears flood her eyes. Kai didn't mean that, did he? He did care if she died, didn't he? Didn't he? All of a sudden, Shanna wasn't so sure.

"Come on man." Luke said. "You don't mean that. You love this girl, I can tell, anyone can tell. So you can tell me to blow her up all you want, I know you don't mean it. So just let me have a free trip out of this stupid place and I'll give her back."

Kai shrugged. "I don't love her. I couldn't care less about her. All this is going to do is make it easier for me to get you in jail. So shoot her, get it over with and then put your hands behind your back so that it's easier for me to handcuff you because that's how you're going to end up anyways."

Luke swallowed, Shanna could tell that he was scared because Kai certainly didn't look like he was bluffing. Hell, Shanna didn't know if he was bluffing or not and she knew him intimately. Shanna decided to remember to ask Kai if he meant anything he had said if she ever made it out of this.

Luke shakily took the gun away from Shanna's head. "Listen, I don't want to do this, you don't want to do this. How about we just go and walk our seperate ways?"

Kai shook his head. "And let a murderer like you go free? I don't think so, I'm just going to take you in, with or without the girl."

"Her name's Shanna but I'm sure you already knew that." Luke said, trying to sound more calmly then he was.

Kai shrugged. "I don't care what her name is."

Luke put the gun by the side of his body. "Listen-"

Luke didn't have any time to say anything else because the next thing he knew, Kai had pounced on him, grabbed the gun and was now holding the gun to Luke's head.

********************************************************************************************************************************************************

Kai smirked, as he looked down at Luke. "You're under arrest. You have the right to remain silent and the second that the cops come, you can excerise this right but until then, shut up or I'll kill you and we won't need to involve the cops." Kai turned to look at Shanna, who was now standing to the left of him. "Are you alright?"

Shanna nodded shakily. "Yah, I'm fine."

"Good, I want you to go to the first house you can find and phone the police. I'll stay here." Kai said and then reached out with one hand and ran it through Shanna's hair like he had wanted to for weeks.

Shanna smiled and turned to leave and Kai turned his attention back to Luke.

********************************************************************************************************************************************************

The punishment that the police gave Luke was mercy for him, as far as Kai was concerned. If Kai had been asked what he would have given Luke for a punishment that day instead of three years in jail for attempted kidnap, Kai wouldn't have answered. Not to anyone. Not even to himself.

For the punishment that Kai would have given Luke for doing that to his poor innocent Shanna, would have been three hundred years in a room, with as much food, drink and pleasure as he wanted. The only thing in that room that wouldn't be festive would be a single picture up on his wall. A picture so big that it would take up the whole wall. A picture so detailed that it would display all the beauty that Shanna was. And yet it wouldn't.

The picture would be beautiful alright, but it would also be horrible. There would be scars on Shanna's beautiful face, tears dripping down her cheeks as they had in real life. Her skirt would be torn, allowing the on-looker to see the scratches on her legs, the blood that poured from her. And finally, in the background would be Luke, standing there, laughing as he would have if he had gotten away with what he was about to do.

That alone was enough punishment to make even that room, with everything that man had said he would ever want, feel like torture. That was what Kai would have given him for what he had done. However, no one asked Kai what he would have sentenced the boy. Either they didn't care, or they knew better.

Just one look at Kai as he stood in that courtroom, a protective arm linked around Shanna's waist as Luke passed by, and you would know the simple truth. People didn't ask simply because they knew better, not because they didn't care.

Kai had led Shanna out of that courtroom, his arm still draped around her waist. He had taken to her car and then motioned to Rei, who had climbed in the passanger seat. Then Kai had turned on his heels and walked away.

Leaving Shanna standing there, dumbfounded, watching him go.
