KatDrama: I know I said I wouldn't update this story without any reviews, but I am anyways. I just feel that this story must go on. of course you don't know what I'm talking about but there's this one chapter that im just itching to write. One filled with action, with drama, with love, with hate. the perfect balanced chapter that would captivate you, my readers, and make you want to cry, to sympathize with the characters, to help them, to save them. soon my friends, soon that chapter will be coming, but will I be able to write it? this chapter that I write right now could be that very chapter. the one that unleashes the whole meaning of the story. or, this could be the last chapter. only my fingers on my keyboard will make that decision. you can persuade me to get it out, you can help me write that chapter, you can review!

Kitty: *sniff* im sry guys. me and Kat (who are in reality the same person) just got finished watching a sad and heart filled emotional movie so that's left us a little wishy washy. plz ignore our tears as we write this chapter. plz enjoy it, and really, really, plz review. and now, on with the story

p.s. for those of you who become queasy or sick at the sight or mention of blood, this chapter isn't specifically one you will like.

Chapter 16

Master Plan

Kaiya rolled over, coughing up blood that spilled onto the floor as another one of Lord Toshi's hard kicks came into contact with her stomach. Between the punches and the kicks she couldn't decide which hurt most: the beating form Lord Toshi for failing or the beating from Akio for loosing his prized weaponry. Finally she could take no more and she collapsed, her body retching with pain as she gasped for air.

Lord Toshi flew about the room in a fury. "Surely now they know something is up. We must make our move now!" He shouted at Akio, gesturing angrily with his arms.

"Now, now, sir?" Akio stated dumbfounded as he backed away from his angry boss.

"Yes, now, now! Tonight now!" Toshi pounded his fists on a wood table, the force of his blow breaking it in half.

"But surely if we make our move so soon we'll all be caught. Why is destroying the emperor of so much importance to you anyways?" Akio argued back at the more muscular man.

Lord Toshi grinned evilly, his nostrils flaring as he sucked in air to feed his tantrum. He chuckled. "You want to know why? You want to know why? For money, that's why! Hasn't it ever occurred to you that I'm the emperor's own brother? Why, if the emperor were murdered then all of his riches would go to his young son who is all of what, seven years old? And whom would the son go to? Me of course! I'm his closes blood relation ever since his grandparents and mother so tragically died three years ago. Don't you remember? That was part of our handiwork. Their blood is on your very hands! How foolish can you be to have not caught unto my method of madness yet?" He turned, his rage slowly easing away.

"Yes sir. I understand now, but if we were to go tonight then all that work will have gone in vain. We'll be caught and shortly thereafter you will be too." Akio pleaded.

Toshi gazed about the room, his eyes falling upon the still figure that lay across the room, her blood staining the floor. He looked back up at Toshi and then replied. "If you're going to get caught, take a scapegoat."

"Sir?" Akio spun around and suddenly caught the meaning of his boss's words. "Yes, sir! We will strike tonight." He bowed respectively before taking his leave, dragging the red head behind.

a/n: alright, that is not the chapter I was talking about, but the next one is. the next chapter is bound to be really long and really good, but your eyes will never see it if you do not review!

p.s. plz tell me if you know of any sites that I can use to post pic's that I've done of Kaiya. I want to share them with everyone but I don't know how. if you have nay ideas, let me know.
