Ghost: Things are going to start going bad for Kai

WITH THIS CHAIN I THEE WED

CHAPTER SEVERN: THINGS GO BAD

"Relax Kai I'm sure everything's going to be fine." Said Ray

"Easy for you to say." He muttered

"Master Kai my how you've grown." Said the butler at the door.

"Yeh I guess." He replied walking passed him.

"Kai there you and of course the rest of your team are here, welcome boys, and course welcome ladies." He said charmingly.

"Well please feel free to enjoy the party." He said leaving them.

"Before you go over to the buffet table and embarrass me, don't make pigs of yourselves." Kai ordered

"Got it." Tyson said

The orchestra began to play.

"Hey Kai is it okay if I can take Faith for a dance?" Ray asked

"Excuse me, you should be asking me, since we aren't wearing our chains tonight I'm a free woman." She said

"You heard the lady so I guess it's okay, whatever you do Ray don't let my grandfather or Tala cut in." he muttered as he walked passed

"What's up with him?" Ray asked as they began dancing.

"I don't know but I'm sure we're going to find out." She replied

They danced for a while.

"May I cut in?" asked Kai  tapping Ray on the shoulder when the dance was over.

"Sure thing." Ray said pleasantly leaving them.

"I never thought that Kai could dance." Tyson said shocked

"You can talk." Said Kenny

"Look at them" Max smiled

"Okay I want to know what's wrong?" she asked

"Nothing yet, it pays to be cautious especially around my grandfather." He said holding her close as if something was going to happen.

"Can we at least enjoy this moment then worry about everything afterwards?" she asked

They kept dancing. 

"They sure make a cute couple." Ray smiled

When the dance was over Ray saw Tala go up to Kai.

"I don't think this is going to be pretty," he thought

"Bet you 100 dollars says Kai's going to hit him." Tyson said

"Okay you're on" Max said

"It was just a figure of speech." He replied quickly

"What do you want?" Kai snarled.

Tala grinned at them sadistically.

"Your grandfather wants to speak to you in private." He said

"No way." Kai snapped

"Don't worry about her, I'll look after her." Tala said grinning

"I don't think so." Kai said gripping her wrist.

"Kai it's a very private matter and you know your grandfather doesn't like to be kept waiting, trust me I'll take your date for a spin on the dance floor, while you talk to him, I know your team mates will be watching me like hawks." Tala suggested.

Tala took Faith's hand while Kai left them.

"May I have this dance?" he asked

"I guess so." She replied annoyed

"Tyson, Max stop stuffing your faces and look at this." Ray said horrified

"No way Faith and Tala dancing is she mad?" Max asked

"I couldn't see but it sounds like his grandfather wants to speak to Kai alone." Ray replied

There was an awkward moment of silence between the two.

"I guess you know what Voltaire wants Kai for?" she asked

"It concerns his arranged marriage." Tala said

Those words hit her like a hammer; she stared at him in shock.

"I'm here to keep you out the way while he talks to his future bride." Tala said holding her tightly in his grip.

"You know I would have thought Kai would have chosen a better more stronger girl to like than you?" he said

"What do you mean by that?" she asked her face flushing slightly

"I know for a fact you're diabetic," he said evilly

Faith could feel the shame well up in her face.

"I'm sorry I seem to have upset you," he said grinning and letting her go.

Faith walked off the dance floor looking very upset, she walked into the lobby and grabbed her shawl.

Ray saw her walk off upset; he went up to Tala and dragged him aside.

"What did you say to upset her?" he barked

"Just told her the truth about Kai and some home truths about herself." Tala replied pleased

Faith caught a taxi home, it began to thunder and rain began to pour down heavily.

"I'll pick my things up tomorrow," she thought

The alley she had to walk through to get to her apartment was dark and unfriendly.

"Hey boys look what we got here, a prom queen." Said man appearing from behind.

"I don't have any money and I don't have the time." She said annoyed walking passed them.

Before she could defend herself, the boys began ripping her beautiful dress as they tried to hold her down on the floor; Faith felt the pain as she was hit in the back of the head.

She blacked out, she could still feel someone holding her wrist tightly almost stopping the circulation.

*** Meanwhile ***

"What is it?" Kai snarled when he went to see his grandfather.

"This concerns your betrothed wife, Kai meet Anna." He said introducing a girl he hadn't seen for years. Anna was no longer the ugly duckling that he used to tease she had become gorgeous; Kai was finding it really hard to concentrate.

"Nice to see you Kai." She said smiling

"Long time no see Anna." Kai replied kissing her on the cheek

"Everyone may I have your attention." Voltaire announced

Ray spotted Kai; and pushed his way to get to him.

"Not only is this my usual celebration party, but it is also the time to introduce you all to the next Mrs Hiwatari." Voltaire said

Everyone began applauding.

"Kai, Faith's gone missing." Ray yelled

Kai saw Ray shouting.

"What is it?" he asked

"Faith's gone missing." Ray said worriedly

The thunder rolled

"How? Why?" Kai said concerned

"Tala said something about your betrothal and said something about telling her the truth about herself." Ray answered

Kai stormed right up to Tala.

"What did you tell her?" he growled grabbing him by the throat.

"I told her the truth, about your betrothal and that I know her secret." Tala boasted

Kai dropped him and went to his grandfather.

"You gave your word that no one would harm her." Kai said angrily

"I gave my word that I wouldn't harm her, that doesn't exclude anyone else. But why like a girl who is a diabetic, when you have a strong girl here, anyway it's time for you to have your first dance." Voltaire said

"I don't think so, I am going to choose who my wife will be when the time comes." Kai said before walking away.

"Where could she have gone?" Ray asked

"Go to my house and see if she's there, I'm going to her apartment." Kai said before calling for a taxi.
