I sure hope that ya' all like the story so far. Can Jim get out of this situation? I sure hope so. BUT LET ME TELL YOU THIS: The character death WILL NOT, I repeat, WILL NOT be Jim. ^^ So all of you Jim fans out there can keep reading. I love Jim, I wouldn't make him die! On with the story!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The man had said on the edge of town was a small house that was all gray. It didn't stick out much. And that's where Jim was. He said in the concrete room, but who in their right mind would make a concrete room? Anyway, they all just hoped that noyone had hurt Jim, because if one hair on that kid was bent out of shape.......lets just say they wouldn't be having a very nice group on their hands. But they would make sure that whoever kidnapped Jim was taught a lesson. Gene would do that personally. Gray house. Edge of town. Positive thoughts. Jim is okay. That was all Gene was thinking about in his head.

"Gene? Do you think that Jim will be okay?" Melfina asked. She was still very worried, with good reason to be. "You don't think that they would be after....."

That's when it struck Gene. And the others too. The Galactic Leylaine! And they would probably want Melfina too!

"The Galactic Leylaine!" Aisha, Suzuka, and Gene all said together.

"You can't go with us Melfina," Gene said quickly as they stopped near the beach. "It would be to dangerous. If that's what they are after then they'll know that your the key! You have to go back to the house and immediately. And don't follow us."

"But Gene, I only want to help!" Melfina protested. She really wanted to make sure that he was okay.

Aisha added "For once Gene is right. You should go back. And just to make sure your safely back, Suzu will go with you!"

"Must you call me that?!" Suzuka asked with annoyance in her voice. "But let it be so. I will take Melfina there but I will rush right back to help you guys out."

"Thanks Suzuka, your the best," said Gene with a wink(A/N- Gene is sooooooooooooo cute! *slap* No. Jim is much better. But Gene is still cute!) "Come on Aisha, lets get going."

Melfina grabbed Gene's arm to stop him from running. Actual tears flowed down her face. Gene finally realized that she was more human than an android. "You be careful Gene. Don't be reckless. I want to see you, Jim, Suzuka, and Aisha all come back alive. Do you hear me?!"

"Of course," Gene replied. He gave her a small kiss on the lips and ran off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~With Jim...

"You can't stay here any longer James, you have to go NOW," Yumi told him.

She helped him up since he was numb from the waist down. And his hands were cold and a bit purple from having that tight rope around him. It made Jim sick to look at all of the dead bodies around them. Who could kill all of these people and still walk the planet without turning themselves in or killing themselves for what they have done?! Jim closed his eyes. He wanted this to all be over. But it wasn't going to end anytime soon. And Jim knew that too.

"How do you expect me to get out of here?" Jim asked him with annoyance in his voice. "My legs are numb, my hands and stomach hurt like hell, and then theres Ray. And I just can't leave you and Faith here!"

"James. I know that you must feel that way but it's more important that you get out of here."

Jim shook his head. "I'm not going to be like dad and leave you behind with a kid. Especially my sister. I'm the man of the family so I have to take care of you both.." He crunched over in pain as his legs and stomach just went into a sudden spasm.

Yumi sighed. "That's very brave of you but you can just go find the police! We'll kill two birds with one stone."

"Either that or my friend's will come for me. And I bet you they will. But I'm not so sure about Gene coming..." Jim said.

He sure wished that they would find him. He knew that Aisha would beat Ray's butt. There was no way that he could beat a Catrl Catrl without using some tricks. Then Suzuka could use her sword to beat him too. Then Gene with his gun.if he came at all. Jim stood up once again. He wouldn't rely on them. He was eleven. He didn't need help from them. Jim could do this himself.

So Yumi had to drag out all of the bodies out of that room and put them in another so Jim wouldn't get sick over it. He hadn't seen so much death in one place!

"Did Ray do this too?" asked Jim as the tired Yumi sat next to him for she had taken out the last body too. "Because I expect that he did do this."

She was silent.

"You didn't do this. Did you?" Jim questioned farther.

All was silent. Jim's eyes widened as he saw much guilt in her eyes. She DID do this. Didn't she? Jim jumped away from her, that killer, and leaned on the wall for support. She tried to walk to him but he put his hand out.

"No! Stay away from me," Jim ordered. "You can not my mother. My mother wouldn't kill. I remember you when I was little and my real mother wouldn't do that!"

"James! Listen to me!" said Yumi. "You have to understand!"

"Stay away, Yumi. You aren't my mother anymore. And that baby you have isn't my sister!" Jim yelled at her.

Yumi's eyes suddenly had much anger in them. Jim got a bit scared right then.

"How dare you say such a thing. You can be mad at me, but I am your mother, and this is your sister! This is your sister James! How dare you say that Faith is not your soon to be sister!" Yumi shouted at him. She slapped him softly on the face. "You take that back!"

"As soon as you tell me why in hell you killed all of those people, mom! Most of them couldn't even be twenty! There was even a little child younger then me!" Jim yelled back. "How could you!?"

"Ray made me! I'm sorry but I had no choice! I didn't want to do it James but he told me that if I didn't do it he would kill me, and that would mean killing his unborn child, and I don't want to loose another one of my children!" Yumi told him. She had tears in her eyes. "I know how much you have been through and this is like a flashback to everything that happened between me and your father but you can't say that I'm not your mother. I love you James. Like life. It hurts to see you like this. I'm not saying I'm not at fault it's just that I didn't want to loose my child."

"Please mom! I don't want to have Gene, Melfina, Aisha, or Suzuka to get involved with this! They are strong but if they happened to get hurt it would be my fault and I'd never forgive myself.." Jim replied. Their faces flashed through his head.

Suzuka. She always had a way out of things. She was really cool but was to mysterious. Jim thought of her like a good friend who he could depend on.

Aisha. Like the older sister. She was always there for him and he could depend on her too. But Jim could go out with her and have a lot of fun. Aisha was a tough girl. And Jim didn't want her to get involved in his affairs.

Melfina was the mother figure. Jim loved Melfina like that. She was understanding, helpful, and just listen to you when you needed her the most. Melfina may not be a fighter but Jim needed her too.

The one that took him in. The lazy, loud mouthed, girl crazy guy. Jim had no clue what he was getting into when he partnered up with him. Gene was his akini. Even though it was turning into just plain old Gene now Gene always would know that Jim was his aniki. Jim just wished that Gene was here now to help him. Where was he? Jim needed him. Not that he couldn't get out of here himself just that he couldn't get out with his mother too.

What to do?! What to do?! Jim was so confused.

"Mom, I want to get out of here a lot but it would be hard to take you with me. And I'm no match, obviously, for Ray. I'll just have to wait until Gene and the others come," sighed Jim. He put his head down in shame. "It's always been that way. Dammit, for once I wish I could do something by myself. Just once."

Yumi rubbed his back. "James, just calm down. I promise that Ray won't hurt you. And you'll get out in one piece."

So, Yumi had to leave. Leaving a crying Jim behind.
