Up Where I Belong

"Is everything ready?"

"Not quite. We still need the bait. Where is the bait?"

Gary looked at Kevin. Kevin looked at Lee. Lee glared at Mao.

Mao shrugged.

"I don't have it. Guess we'll just have to use the black clouds. I'm sure it will do fine." She outstretched her wings and flew up to the black clouds. After picking up large amounts of cloud, she flew back down and settled it onto the ground.

"Excellent. Now, we wait."

Takao stretched out his limbs as he awoke from his slumber. He yawned a few times before rubbing his eyes. Upon opening them, he strained his eyes to see what was far off in the distance. He could have sworn that he saw a figure walking across the land. Rubbing his eyes to make sure he wasn't just seeing things, he glanced back up. The figure was turning towards him, rapidly catching up to him in speed.

//Stay away from everyone. Or else...or else...or else...// Takao's mind was running a mile a minute. On one hand, he could talk to this angel and ask for help. On the other hand, if he did, the boy would probably beat him up.

//But if he teaches me how to fly, I'll be able to escape.// Oh the possibilities! Takao didn't know what to do!

The figure, which could now be made out as the white angel, was almost four feet away from him.

//Think fast, Kinomiya. Think fast. THINK FAST!// Takao thought to himself as he contemplated on what to do.

//Run! Don't stop until he's out of sight!// Takao listened to the voice as he began running away. By the time Rei had reached his previous spot, the other was already five feet away.

//Kinomiya, you idiot!// said a different voice in his head, //You can escape with this boy to Hikari Valley. It's not like that psycho is going to follow you there.// he skidded to a halt, wondering if the dark angel would follow him. //Care to find out? Too late! He's right in front of you!//

"Hey, Are you okay?" Rei asked, looking worriedly at Takao. He was relieved that the boy didn't have a scratch on him. But if Rei had looked closer, he would have been able to see the almost invisible mark that had been planted on Takao's face.

//Or else...or else...or else...//

"Yes, I'm okay," he shakily replied.

Rei stepped closer to him, causing Takao to step back.

"What's wrong? I'm not going to hurt you," Rei said in a soothing manner. But that wasn't what the other boy was worried about.

Rei continued to come ever closer to the bluenette. That is, until Rei's foot met with a hard object, causing him to fall forward and on to...Takao.

Takao was shocked. //Or else...or else...or else...// The words were as clear as day at this moment. If he didn't get away soon, he was sure that he would be in immense pain in a few minutes.

Kai watched the scene unfold with fiery, glaring eyes. How dare Tyson disobey him! He had specifically told the boy to stay away from everyone. And what did he do? The exact opposite…

Kai's glare only deepened when he saw the white angel practically glomping the bluenette, causing the said boy to fall back onto the ground.

Yes, as soon as this was over, Takao Kinomiya was going to wish that he had never disobeyed Kai Hiwatari.

//Run run run as fast as you can, I'll catch you yet for you're not the gingerbread man. When I do you'll surely regret, you'll never near anybody and you'll be my pet.//

Marroon stared into yellow. Rei became lost in his deep innocent depths. They were so full of life and innocence that it was almost impossible to believe. Almost.

His eyes traveled to Takao's smooth lips, and for a moment, he wondered what kind of magnificent taste was held within.

Slowly, ever so slowly, Rei began to lean down...

**********

"What's taking him so long? He should have been here hours ago!" shouted a frustrated Mao.

"It looks like he's met another white angel," observed Kevin.

"Two for one, Mariah. Be patient. You'll still have your fun, and it will be twice as enjoyable," Lee coolly said. "We'll all have our fun."

"I'm getting impatient..." Mariah started, but Lee cut her off.

"Deal with it. I won't have you ruining this once in a life time offer."

"You make it sound like they're just living toys." Gary pointed out.

"That's because they are."

(Kai)

What the hell is that boy doing??!! Get off of him you asshole!!!

Takao, wake up! Great, just great. He's paralyzed in shock. Hello??!! Do you realize that the rapist is about to kiss you?!! No! Get your slimy lips off of his! That's -my- property you're sucking faces with!

I don't believe this! How long does it take to get out of shock?! Don't make me come down there or you'll surely regret it!

I watch as Takao FINALLY comes out of his shock. His eyes widen as he sees the rapist's lips on his. To my amusement, I watch as he pushes the other boy off of him. The other boy is flushed, probably from embarrassment or guilt.

My eyes narrow to the point where you would swear that I had no eyes if you were looking at me. The other boy is now HUGGING him! Didn't you get enough?! Keep your filthy paws off of MY PROPERTY!

I'm using all of my willpower to try to restrain myself from kicking that boy's ass back up to Hikari Valley. Wait, why didn't I just do that before? Hmph, guess I'll do that later.

Takao, you are going to wish you'd never met that boy. Said boy is now trying to carry Takao back up to the border. Heh, fat chance that I'll let that happen!

I make two low whistles. The cry of a bird can be heard from behind me. The magnificent creature circles once above my head, then swoops down and lands beside me.

"Dranzer, see that white angel? The one with the raven hair?"

Dranzer nods in affirmation.

"Good. Take him to the border. Burn him until he's a nice, rich black. But make sure that you don't hurt the other boy. Leave that up to me."

With a final nod, Dranzer flies toward the now fear-stricken duo. It flies between them, before circling back and letting out a stream of fire. The boy dodges the fire, but Dranzer comes at him from behind, putting him on it's back, and flying through the clouds. You've done your part Dranzer, now it's time for me to do mine.

With an evil smirk, I start to fly towards Takao.
