A/N: From now on this story will switch to normal pov.
*~*
Kai jumped out of his seat at the finish line, when he heard the loud boom. The crowd gathered there went completely silent, as if they could sense danger. Kai scanned the horizon where he thought the loud noise had come from.
At first it looked like nothing and many people waved it off as something that had a reasonable explination, but Kai would not be so easily fooled. Several things told him that something very bad had happened, for one there was no quiet rumble of engines or the occasional squeel of tires on cement. He also noted that the birds had stopped singing, and those that had been in the air had now landed.
After a few seconds he could see it. A small puff of smoke rose from in between the buildings in the distance. It was very small, many wouldn't even notice it. Another loud bang was heard followed by the shaking of the ground. This time the puff of smoke was bigger and darker in coloring.
Many people stopped their mindless chatting and began to point and panic. Another bang and shake of the ground, then another and another. The explosions were becoming more and more frequent.
Kai pushed his way through the crowd, not even caring that he was knocking people over. He quickly ran over to the race manager once he was able. Like the many of the others, he to was staring at the dark clouds of smoke, hovering in the distance. It took a few moments before he even noticed Kai standing beside him.
" Have you gotten a hold of any of the drivers?" Kai asked, trying to hide the fear in his voice.
The manager just sat there and stared at him. As if he didn't understand a word Kai had just said. Kai's patience was wearing thin quickly. People could be hurt out there, or even worse, dead.
" Well have you?!?" Kai half shouted.
The manager shook his head.
" No. I'm on it now," he said as he turned to the radio.
Kai waited anxiously as the manager called over the radio to the drivers. All that answered back was static, or dead silence. Kai's heart dropped to his ankles as the manager turned back to him, with a sad look on his features.
Kai was about to turn away, if they couldn't get a hold of the drivers then he would have to find them. A voice came throught the radio. At first it was almost impossible to hear but then it became loud and clear.
" Manager, manager are ya there?" it asked.
Kai recognized that voice. It was Leo, Ash's friend that he had met earlier. Kai quickly grabbed the microphone from the manager.
" Leo? It's Kai," he replied excitedly.
There was hope after all. Ash might not have been hurt at all.
" Kai! Man are we glad to hear a friendly voice," Leo said, joy clear in his voice.
" Are you guy's ok? What's happening? Where's Ash?" Kai quickly questioned.
" Woah big guy, calm down," Leo chuckled.
Kai found it highly irretating that Leo could still seem happy at such a time.
" Well..." Said Kai.
" Well from what I know someone's dropping bomb's onto the road. They blasted a hole in the road, and nobody can get across. Everyone except for Ash is here and unharmed," Leo began.
Kai's heart felt like it had been chewed up and spit back out, " What do you mean she's not there," he demanded.
There was a pause before Leo spoke again.
" She was in the lead and a suspicious black car was right behind her. We think the other car had something to do with this. Not long after the bomb was dropped and we don't know what happening on the other side. They were obviously after Ash, but they havn't got her yet, since they are still dropping bombs."
Kai's felt a little relieved after that but he was still worried.
" There's no way for her to get back to you guys?" He asked.
" No," Leo replied, " She's got to finish the race."
*~*
Bang! The tires squeeled as Ash turned down a side street. She was hoping that if she took the scenic route back to the finish line she would be able to loose these freaks. She had no clue where the bombs were coming from, but she wasn't really concerned about that at the moment.
Her car had taken a considerable amount of damage from pieces of flying debris and she was surprised it wasn't totally destroyed yet.
She once again tried to radio any of the others but it seemed all the explosions and smoke just wouldn't let the signal get through. She knew Kai was worried sick about her by now and she smiled.
" Don't you worry Kai. I'm making it out alive."
The engine roared as the black viper continued it's way to the finish.
*~*
Kai sat beside Leo at the finish line. Both were worried about Ash. Without being out there, they had no way of knowing what was going on. All of the other racers had returned with Leo and were awaiting Ash as well.
Alot of the less decent spectators had taken off, driven by fear of the law. Kai stared down the road. There were still explosions so Ash was still alive, but for how long? The blasts had gotten nearer and they were hoping Ash would pull onto the main road at anytime.
Kai clenched his fists. He swore that whoever was responsible was going to pay for what they had done. There was no excuse for doing something so destructive and so deadly. At the moment, there was nothing he could do. He would have to wait and pray.
*~*
The blasts seemed to be falling behind. They were also less frequent, Ash noticed. Maybe they would stop soon. Maybe she'd really make it back safely. She brought a hand up to the slice in her cheek. At first she didn't feel it, her fear and anxiety masked it, but now. It stung and she looked at her hand and discovered it was bleeding alot.
She wasn't really concerned about that right now. The finish line was just up ahead around a tight curve and down a straight part. Hopefully the bombers would stop all together and leave.
She shivered, partly in fear and partly from the cold wind tearing through her car, due to the broken windows. She had the car going as hast as she could, without totally loosing conrtol. It was set at a firm 280Km. She prepared herself as she saw the curve in the road up ahead.
It was a longshot. At this speed she couldn't slow down in time, but she didn't want to. She just prayed that the car wouldn't spin out. She spun the wheel as fast as she could, taking her foot off the gas the back end of the car sliding along the road as a bomb was dropped just behind her.
She quickly gave it some gas and the car took off. She pressed on the gas pedal harder only thinking about making it back to the others.
*~*
Kai heard the squeel of tires and a loud blast as a bomb was dropped nearby. Leo got up from his seat and raced to his side. They both stared at the road in the distance, but the air was thick with dust, making it near impossible to see anything.
Soon the roar of an engine became distinct. Powerful sounding.
" Oh yeah! Only car I know that makes a roar like that is a Viper!" Leo shouted out with excitment as he jumped around beside Kai.
Kai couldn't help but smirk. Ash was a strong one. She wouldn't forefit her life so easliy. The bombs had stopped entirely and in the distance, approaching fast was the black streak that was Ash's car, Darkside.
She was almost there. The details on her car were clear now. Just then out of nowhere a bomb dropped on the road infront of her. The road blasted and the area was covered in dust. Nobody could see Ash's car and Kai felt himself beginning to panic.
What if that one had hit? What if she was dead? Kai almost ran into the dust when Leo held him back and pulled him to the sidelines. Kai glared at Leo but he remaned unfazed. Kai didn't understand why he was so calm. Ash could be dead!
Then the purr of an engine came to life in Kai's ears. His head whipped around just in time to see the black car shoot out of the dust as it's back end slid around. The tires squeeled in protest until the car finally stopped.
Kai couldn't contain his joy. He ran to the car as Ash got out, a little slowly. When she noticed him there, she threw herself into his open arms.
" I thought I was dead Kai,"she whispered as fear overcame her and her body began to shake with powerful sobs.
" You're safe. You're safe. I'm never going to let them hurt you," Kai comforted as he hugged her to him tightly, his head resting on top of hers as silent tears of his own fell.
*~*
It took them a little while to convince Leo that Ash was alright. After that Kai called a tow-truck to tow her car back to town. They drove home in his car, event's of the day washing over them.
" Kai?" Asked Ash timidly.
" Yeah?" He replied, turning to her.
" Nothing..." she smiled at his confused look.
She had been planning on asking Kai about his so called involvement with the attackers according to them. She decided to leave it. Kai would never be involved in such a thing. She winced as her touched her cut cheek.
" That's going to need cleaning up, it looks pretty bad," Kai muttered.
" Yeah. Let's go to my house. I really need a shower," she offered.
Kai nodded as he turned down their street. The sun was just setting and the light's in the front yard were just coming in as they pulled in. Ash looked around for signs of her mothers car but it wasn't anywhere in site.
" My mom must have had to work late. She'll stay at the office," she thought out loud as she took Kai's hand and lead him to the front door.
Once inside they were met by Geoffry. Ash kept the slice on her cheek hidden by her loose hair, hoping he wouldn't notice.
" Ah there you are Lady Ash. Your mother wanted me to tell you that she wouldn't be able to make it home tonight," He delivered.
Ash nodded, " Yeah I thought so."
Geoffry turned to Kai. Surveying him up and down.
" This must be Master Kai," Geoffry said as he extended his hand in welcome.
Kai took it and shook it with a nod of his head.
" Will he be staying the night?" Geoffry asked.
" Yes, don't worry about preparing a guest room, he can stay with me," Ash explained.
Geoffry gave her a knowing look and nodded. As he left to return to whatever he had been doing previously he quickly added, " Don't be too loud."
Ash blushed at the comment and Kai smirked. She turned to find him studying her up and down and she rolled her eyes.
" Let's go. You have to help me with my cut before we do anything else," she told him with a wink.
Kai frowned and quickly ran upstairs after her. Once in her bedroom he sat on her bed as she searched for rubbing alcohol and bandages. She came back out with the supplies and sat down beside him.
Kai grabbed a cotton ball and dabbed it in the alcohol. Ash took in a deep breath at the sight and looked up at him with pleading eyes.
" Please be gentle," she begged.
Kai smirked at her, " It's going to hurt, but i'll make sure you don't feel the pain."
She looked up at him confused as he slid closer to her. He leaned down and kissed her as he moved the cotton ball up to her cheek and his free hand up her shirt. Just as he touched her wound with the cotton he began to massauge on of her breast's and deepen the kiss.
She flinched as the cotton touched her cheek and gasped as his cool hand played with the delicate skin of her breast. She didn't even feel the pain. She felt the cool rough skin of his hand touch the warm, smooth skin of her breast, sending ripples of pleasure through her body. She also felt some of the pain as he dabbed at her cheek with the cotton, but mixed with the pleasure she couldn't focus on it entirely.
Shw whimpered as he removed his hand from her breast and threw away the cotton. He smirked at her whimper of loss as he pulled away. She was sitting there, patiently awaiting him to bandge her when he suddenly jumped her, pushing her down to the bed gently. He then straddled her and brushed back the hair from her face.
" Now hold still," he warned as he prepared a bandage for her face.
She smiled up at him as he bent over to put the bandage on her face, trailing butterfly kisses from her lips to her injury. When he was finished he sat up again to survey his masterpiece.
She looked so beautiful laying there beneath him. Her hair spread out over the pillows and blankets. Her face was turned to the side, her deep green eyes partly closed as she stared around her room. Her arms were up near her head, one on each side.
He felt himself being aroused just by looking at her. He shifted uncomfortably causing her to turn to look at him. Her beautiful eyes peered up at him and traveled down his body to his crotch. Her eyes widened in surprise as she noticed the growing bludge that was his erection.
Kai flushed as she stared at him. He wasn't sure what to expect from her. Would she be angry becuase of his want for her, or would she just laugh it off? Just then she leaned up to him and captured his lips in a gentle kiss.
She obviously wasn't bothered by his need for her.

Geoffry turned to Kai. Surveying him up and down.
" This must be Master Kai," Geoffry said as he extended his hand in welcome.
