A/N: Just to recap on the last chapter:
"Please don't leave me El." Kai whispered to himself; he bit his lip, if he said it out loud maybe she would hear him and wake up.
"You have to wake up El. I. I love you." He whispered as fresh tears ran down his face.
A/N: and now on with the story!
"Really?" A soft voice said from behind Kai, he spun around to see Ellaris standing behind him. Kai felt a lump form in his throat.
"Yeah." He whispered quietly unable to look her in the eye. Kai's head snapped up in shock as Ellaris threw her arms around him, slowly he wrapped his arms around her.
"How're you feeling?" Kai asked softly.
"Odd, a little detached but I'm ok." Ellaris smiled looking up at Kai.
"I was so scared I'd lose you." Kai whispered as harsh tears pricked behind his eyes.
"How long was I out for?" Ellaris asked uncertainly.
"Three days." Kai replied letting go of Ellaris and flicking her dark hair out of her eyes, her stomach growled loudly and Ellaris looked completely shocked.
"You're probably gonna need to eat something." Kai smiled.
"I don't know Kai, I've never had to eat anything in my life, what if I choke on it or something." Ellaris asked looking down warily at her pizza.
"Just bit a bit off El, it'll come naturally." Kai smiled chewing his pizza in the softly lit Italian restaurant.
"You know if it hadn't been for you I'd probably be dead by now." Ellaris said nervously taking a bite of her pizza.
"How come?" Kai asked confused.
"Oh, I probably would have killed myself." She replied casually as she chewed slowly on her food. Kai choked and looked up at Ellaris in shock.
"I told you food was dangerous!" Ellaris pointed out slightly smugly.
"What? Why would you?" Kai gasped.
"Well for someone who would never have died of natural causes, being mortal is like a death sentence. If I hadn't have been made mortal like I am now, I could have lived for at least eleven thousand years, that's about the average for a bit-beast. I'm just under a thousand; if it weren't for you I couldn't stand it." Ellaris sighed sadly.
"You really mean that?" Kai asked quietly.
"Of course I do, I wouldn't have said it otherwise would I?" Ellaris giggled happily.
Kai sighed happily, he was watching some film on TV with Ellaris and they were both sprawled out on the sofa together.
"What?" Ellaris asked looking at him.
"Nothing." Kai smiled.
"Go on, what were you thinking about?" Ellaris asked persistently.
"Just you." Kai smiled softly as he snuggled closer to her. Ellaris smiled and rolled towards him and kissed him.
In the shadows Tyson felt disgusted by the happy couple, Ellaris should be his, she shouldn't be cuddled up with Kai on the sofa, that should be him! Tyson thought storming off to the roof of the building.
"Well, you don't look happy." A seductive voice said from behind him, Tyson turned around to see Saffron sanding behind him.
"What do you want?" Tyson demanded glaring at her.
"Just what you want." She smiled.
"I don't want Ellaris dead." Tyson growled.
"Neither do I, I've changed. And the team took me back when I did, and to make up for my behaviour I've come to give you a gift." Saffron smiled in a sugary way.
"I don't think you've changed your ways in three days, and I'm not interested in anything you have." Tyson growled.
"Maybe not but I know you're interested in Ellaris." Saffron shouted after him, Tyson stopped in his tracks and looked back at her.
"I've seen the way you look at her, you want her don't you? And now that she's got Kai you feel bitter and angry at him." Saffron smirked knowing she had Tyson right where she wanted him.
"What are you saying?" Tyson asked turning around.
"I intend to give you what you want, Ellaris' undying love whatever you want, she'll be at your beck and call, helpless to resist you." Saffron said quietly.
"And how do you intend to do that?" Tyson asked curious and more than a little interested
"With this little bottle, just slip it into her drink and tell her what you want from her and she'll obey anything you, and only you, say." Saffron offered holding out a small vial filled with a clear liquid.
"If it's so great then why did you use it on her to get rid of her if you hated her so much before; assuming you've changed your ways that is." Tyson asked suspiciously.
"Well duh, she never ate or drank anything before did she?" Saffron sighed at Tyson's stupidity.
"So what do you want for this potion, my soul?" Tyson demanded.
"No. I want nothing for this." Saffron shrugged.
"Ok then, what's in this for you?" Tyson asked.
"Never you mind, I have to go now; have fun." Saffron smiled before bursting into flames and vanishing.
The next day Tyson made two drinks and poured the contents into the one on his left, just as he had planned Ellaris walked into the room.
"Man I'm thirsty, I still haven't gotten control of these mortal eating habits yet." She sighed opening a cupboard in search of something to drink.
"Here, have this." Tyson said offering the drink on his left to her.
"Thanks." Ellaris smiled taking the drink off of him and taking a big gulp from it.
"This tastes funny." Ellaris frowned; Tyson froze in fear; had she found him out?
"But then everything tastes weird and new to me." Ellaris smiled finishing her drink.
"I want you to fall uncontrollably, madly, irresistible in love with me; and break up with Kai, he doesn't deserve you." Tyson demanded looking at her.
"Are you crazy?! Tyson what's come over you - you - amazing, cute, talented boy?" Ellaris smiled looking at him adoringly as she changed her mood halfway through her sentence.
"Has anyone seen El?" Kai asked walking in the room to find Max, Kenny and Rei deep in conversation; they all froze and looked at him.
"What?" Kai asked confused.
"Well, it's just we didn't think you'd be looking for her what with Tyson and everything." Kenny said quietly.
"What are taking about?" Kai asked confused as a small inch of fear began to gnaw at him.
"You mean she hasn't told you?" Rei asked standing up.
"Told me what?" Kai asked feeling the fear grow bigger.
"We're not the ones to tell you Kai, they're in the garden." Max sighed.
"Right, thanks." Kai said quietly and walked to the elevator resisting the urge to sprint to Ellaris.
Kai steeped out into the garden and looked around and saw Ellaris and Tyson sitting together talking. Tyson looked up and saw Kai as he walked towards them, he whispered something in Ellaris' ear and she got up and walked towards Kai.
"Hey, what's wrong with the other's they were acting really weirdly a minute ago?" Kai asked trying to stay calm.
"They seemed normal to me." Ellaris shrugged, Tyson coughed pointedly and Ellaris seemed to remember something.
"Kai, I just remembered something." Ellaris began.
"Yeah El?" Kai asked fearing the worst.
"I don't love you, I'm in love with Tyson." Ellaris said blankly.
Kai felt numb, this couldn't be happening, he couldn't have heard her right. But deep down he knew he had, Kai felt a terrible pain in his chest as he felt his heart break; all the happiness of the previous day washed away as hot tears streaked down his face. Before he knew it he was running back towards the elevator, he jumped out at his floor and ran through the room with Kenny, Rei and Max in and straight towards the kitchen. Rummaging hurriedly through one of the draws he pulled out a sharp chopping knife and held it to his throat, one quick swipe would do it. His jugular vein would be cut and the blood would drain out of his brain and he's be dead in a second.
"KAI NO!" A voice shouted.
"Please don't leave me El." Kai whispered to himself; he bit his lip, if he said it out loud maybe she would hear him and wake up.
"You have to wake up El. I. I love you." He whispered as fresh tears ran down his face.
