ANGEL OF DARKNESS
CHAPTER FIVE: CRUMBLING WALLS
Ray woke to find Kai sleeping next to him, he smiled weakly looking closely at every detail of Kai's face; Kai looked so peaceful so untouched and innocent.
Kai stirred and opened his eyes slowly.
"Good morning" he croaked
"This is unlike you Kai, you never sleep in" Ray said surprised
"I know," Kai agreed sitting up.
"I should do this more often, I much prefer to wake up with someone next to me than to wake up alone" he added with a lazy smile.
"So tell me Ray after last night's excitement do you still hate me?" he asked curiously
Ray was more annoyed than angry; he didn't want to stay here with Kai anymore, his feelings for him would jeopardise his freedom, one kiss and Ray would forever be under Kai's manipulative power.
After last night Ray's infatuation with Kai was well and truly exorcised, he was cured and free, and every feeling and good thought Ray had of Kai fell spectacularly to pieces.
"I'm still angry with you," he answered narrowing his eyes.
"And whether you try and stop me, I am leaving Kai" Ray spat angrily before getting up.
Kai grabbed his wrist and pulled Ray back to the bed.
"The sooner you start getting accustomed to the fact that you're mine the better" Kai said silkily as he ran his hand over Ray's hot cheek.
Kai wasn't finished with him yet.
"You can't fight me and win Ray, surrender would be so much sweeter for the both of us; give in with grace and you will discover how generous I can be" Kai explained pulling Ray an inch closer.
"You generous since when?" Ray asked sarcastically
"Since forever!" Kai exclaimed angrily
"I'll tell you why most kids worship me, a while back when we went our separate ways I decided to do something with my grandfather's blood money that he had got out of Biovolt.
I gave it to the Moscow state Hospital, in return they named the children's ward after me, that money paid for better hospital beds and better medicine, most children that were dieing were treated and recovered." He explained
"Every one of those kids thanked me personally, did you notice any drawings lying on my desk?" Kai asked
Ray had seen a few of the drawings.
"You might be charitable to small children, but you're definitely not charitable to any other person" Ray said darkly
"You think so? Do the servants who work in this house look miserable to you? Does Stella look unhappy about being in my service?" Kai replied sharply
"No they don't, it's funny how much you really don't know me Ray," he finished
"You're right about that," Ray answered
"But there's so much you can learn, so much I can give you," Kai said silkily
"Want to give me my arm back?" Ray asked tugging out of Kai's grip
It was going to be no use, Kai had Ray exactly where he wanted him, and what made Ray angrier was the fact Kai was enjoying every minute of torturing him.
"One way or another, you'll want me" he replied
"I doubt that" Ray snapped
"You are the most pig-headed, arrogant guy I've ever met," he added spitefully
"I've seen all the guys people like you like to hangout with, trust me, I'm the only guy you've ever met" Kai replied silkily
Kai's fingers moved caressingly on the tender skin above Ray's wrist, Kai emanated power, typical Hiwatari always using power to intimidate those weaker to them; Ray knew Kai was just as afraid of his own feelings for him.
The I'm-in-control face he always had was a mask for his insecurities, Kai proved to be a passionate, sensitive, and almost insatiable lover.
"I'm not playing this game anymore Kai, let's just accept that last night was a mistake, we were both angry" Ray said annoyed
Kai raised an eyebrow and looked at him, Ray didn't like that smile Kai had either.
"Games are meant to be fun, and you aren't laughing which suggests you aren't having fun; are you scared Ray? Afraid of what happened last night? Afraid to admit that what we had was real? Or do you think lover boy Enrique can satisfy you better?" Kai asked seductively leaning closer.
Ray felt the heat flush his face, Kai placed a tender kiss on his neck; Ray pushed him back.
"I wouldn't know, perhaps I should go and sleep with him to satisfy your jealousy" Ray spat immediately regretting those words.
Kai looked at him furiously, Ray's blood ran cold; Kai grabbed Ray's shoulder and pinned him to the wood carved headboard.
"Your life will be a living hell if you do, I promise you that" Kai seethed his eyes burned like red-hot coal on a fire.
The atmosphere vibrated with tension around them; Kai infuriating Kai, passionate, sensitive, insatiable, even sympathetic; Ray now understood that below the ice that was Kai's heart Kai burned with emotion.
"Do you know how much you drive me crazy? It's like being stood in a burning building, I'm only asking to get burned" Kai explained angrily
Ray was silent, how could he love and yet dislike someone at the same time? It confused him; Enrique had been a stupid thing to bring up.
"I-I'm sorry Kai" Ray apologised
Kai sighed and got up.
"I'll see you downstairs for breakfast" he said calmly
Ray was left alone, he couldn't stand to be another minute in this house with Kai for company, he got up and went downstairs, Ray saw the phone on the sideboard next to where Kai put his car keys.
Ray picked up the phone and dialled a strange number.
"Hello Master Enrique's residence" came a voice
"Is Master Enrique there? It's Ray Kon" Ray replied
"Certainly sir" the voice answered
"Good morning Ray and what can I do for you?" Came Enrique's cheerful voice
"I'm in Tuscany, I'm staying with Kai only…" Ray began
"Kai driving you mad?" Enrique asked with a sly tone in his voice.
"More than that, so I was wondering if…" Ray replied
"Sure you can come and stay with me, I'd be honoured and you can stay for as long as you like" Enrique answered
"I'll be in Tuscany in about two hours, I'll see you then Ray, I've got to go to church now" he added
Ray hung up; he half wished he hadn't done that, Enrique was a last resort, though he was suddenly worried about what Enrique had in store for him.
He went into the courtyard and sat down opposite Kai.
"What's the matter?" Kai asked seeing the darkened look on Ray's face.
"Nothing, I'm fine" Ray answered civilly
Kai was going to kill him if he found out that he had called Enrique, Ray felt terrible he had betrayed his captain, his teammate and his friend.
Breakfast was eaten in silence.
"It's so quiet here" Ray began
"Everyone has gone to church, I hope you don't mind I had to cook breakfast" Kai said before biting into a piece of toast.
"I didn't think you could cook?" Ray questioned curiously
"Why should I do it, when I can afford other's to do it for me?" Kai asked
Ray shrugged his shoulders and began eating the pancakes, they were delicious; not even the pancakes he made compared to these.
Breakfast was eaten in silence.
"As it's Sunday want to come for a drive?" Kai asked
"Okay" Ray replied
Kai grabbed the car keys and they were off, Ray was amazed by Tuscany's beauty a light mist had settled on the hills and vineyards, as there were no people around, Kai had decided to show off by speeding a long as fast as the car would take them.
"Kai you're driving like a maniac" Ray yelled
"Nothing better to get the adrenaline going" Kai replied
"Stop please stop, I'm going to be sick" Ray moaned
Kai slammed on the brakes; the car skidded to a halt, Kai looked at his passenger with concern.
"I'm really sorry" he apologised
"What's the matter afraid I'll hurl in your precious car?" Ray asked
"If you want to be sick in my car go right ahead, I just don't think it would be very good if you threw up while the car was moving" Kai explained
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
The two boys had had an enjoyable afternoon.
"That's the last time I'll take you to a vineyard" Kai chuckled
"There you are, how long were you planning to make me wait, I've got a tight schedule" Enrique complained from inside his beige Rolls Royce.
Kai sat dumbstruck for a moment.
"What the hell are you doing here?" he asked
"Come to collect Ray" Enrique answered smugly
Kai gripped the steering wheel and took a deep breath.
"Is it true?" Kai asked firmly looking at Ray and hoping it was a joke
Ray looked at his captain sadly, he felt so ashamed of himself.
"Kai I…" Ray began
"If you want to go to him, just go" Kai said sadly he got out the car and stormed into the house.
Ray followed quickly.
"Don't let me keep you here any longer" Kai snapped he grabbed Ray's wrist and undid his glove then he did the same with the other.
Kai didn't look angry, he looked hurt very deeply hurt, the instant Enrique explained triumphantly why he was there Ray had seen Kai's heart shatter, and he almost thought he would see his captain burst into tears.
"You can go Ray, you've got your freedom, I hope you're happy" Kai said without any emotion.
Ray walked away and stopped abruptly in the doorway, he turned back to look at a broken Kai who was leant against a window glaring at the Rolls Royce.
"Are you sure?" Ray asked softly
Kai looked up, Ray saw a single tear run down Kai's cheek, and Ray felt as if he was being torn to shreds inside.
"Just go" Kai answered
Ray left; Kai's heart was breaking once again, and this time it really did hurt, it hurt so badly that it almost reduced him to tears; the whole point of keeping Ray in his house was to prove that he was far better than Enrique or any of the guys Ray had met, that pompous, no good, lying, cheating, son of a bitch Enrique had taken Ray from him again.
Kai had to do something to take his mind off what had just happened; otherwise he would have gone crazy.
"If I wasn't so charitable and compassionate, I'd kill that smug bastard Enrique, it's not like he doesn't have trouble filling his bed, how could you have done that to me Ray?" he said to himself
