Disclaimer: I don't own anything. I live under a rock, where I spend my days writing Fan-fiction and plotting evil deeds.... Hehe!

Only took me one week but I finally beat Final Fantasy X-2 (It had the dumbest ending I have ever seen. I was, so ticked.) But anywise, I don't want to bore you all with that, I am just saying that with playing that game and getting angry I hadn't had much time for updating.

Note: This chapter is, dedicated to Mizu-Tenshi because she was my first reviewer for the year 2004.

This chapter is somewhat shorter then the others (Only 6,850 words. My other were between 9,000-11,000, minus the prologue.) I didn't feel like making a big chapter.

Okay now for adding Beyblades in here… People totally misconstrued what I was saying. I meant that I would put Beyblading in for one part only; it wouldn't even have to do with the story really. It would be as if he had to go under cover as a Beyblader to kill somebody who was going to be in the tournament. Alas, I've decided that I am not going to put them in as some people did have a point! However, I do want to thank everybody for his or her help in helping me decide.

Chapter Three: Refusal!

The pressure is building I want to break away.
Motivation is lacking the point starts to fade.
I look to the bottom still empty still the same
I'm waiting for something to show me the way.

Death, you only commit murder if you're, crazed in the head or just have fun doing it. This little segment I have heard often from psychiatrists and many other interpretive people. They can keep talking that crap but it's just a load of bull that people use in blame tactics so the one who kills would be put into prison. To me I say that's all the police force cares about, which of whom they are going to put in jail next. It's kind of like a game, I think. It's stupid really and very corrupt but then I guess they all are.

You know I asked Kai when he was four what he wanted to be when he got older. I yeah that's right, I've met him before but you know what, he probably wouldn't recognize me nor remember me if he saw me again. Anyway folks sorry about the reminiscing. Do you want to know what he told me? Heh… He told me that he wanted to be a doctor so that he could help right some of the wrongs in the world. I think it's so ironic how he grew up in the opposite way, taking life instead of saving it. It was kind of like a backward day, you get the opposite of what you say and want. I want a blue shirt.... Okay here's a black turtle neck, get what I am saying?

I would agree with the people that he probably is crazy psycho but I know why he does what he does and accept it, I have to, even if I wished to change it.

Some of you think that Kai is just an assassin, who is cold and heartless. I just like to say that you don't know anything....

And never will with that attitude...

~ Tala ~ I ripped the fabric of my new shirt down the center of the stab wound, until my shirt was completely in half and then steadily pulled my arms from the sleeves, trying so desperately not to upset the nerves around my wound. But, it didn't work out too well. While in the midst of taking the bloody ruined shirt from my torso, I let out a small yelp. Some of the fabric from the right side of my shirt had dug into the wound on accident while I pulled the left side off. The pain didn't last long as soon, the shirt was completely away from my body.

I starred down at my destroyed shirt with a look of dissatisfaction as I had just bought it. I purchased it after I ruined my other one in the fight with the Highlanders yesterday. I had complete hate for them now. It wasn't that I despised them. I just didn't like the fact that they were messing all my clothes up, forcing me to have to buy new ones, which I didn't like doing. I also was somewhat irate over the fact that they took a cheap shot at me, nearly puncturing my lung and almost craving out my heart. Other then those two things I guess I didn't truly hate the Highlanders.

I lifted my gaze to the door where my brother had recently walked out through and then bowed my head, looking at the watch on my hand. The time told me that Kai had been gone for two whole hours. I couldn't help but wonder what he was doing? It didn't take that long to kill someone.

My mind started to stumble onto the, what if line as what if something went wrong with his assassination? I didn't care to think about it. My brother was complete idiot; he should've never walked out that door when his head wasn't in the right. What Kai should've done was listen to me when I said I was all right and not have gone berserk and tore out of the house like there wasn't going to be a tomorrow. Not only did he run out of the house all crazy like but also when he came home, he did not look so well. At that point, he should've stop for the day and let, me do his mission instead but of course, that would never happen.

I took a wet cloth from the table next to the couch where I resided. The cloth had been drenched in some medication that would disinfect my wound. Therefore, I wouldn't get sick from anything in the air that touched it. I exposed the cloth to the still gushing wound; hopefully putting pressure to the gash on my chest would not only protect my injury but also stop it from bleeding. I writhed somewhat when the cold cloth was, applied. The area around my cut stung like hell, I felt like someone had just dumped a pail of water over my body and then put electrical wires to my torso. Stupid nervous system!

While in the core of my pain sessions. My ears lay in awareness, picking up the airways as the door opened followed by harsh slamming noises. I knew then it wasn't my brother, the slamming of the door was way off, it held to much feelings that Kai never showed, like greed for instance and petty anger. Nope, it defiantly wasn't my brother. The person or persons that entered the house had to have been the organization of that I was sure and even more so when I heard Johnny speak. " Where is Kai?" He asked.

I didn't bother to look up at them or Johnny as I found no point in doing so. " Doing what you make him do. What the hell do you think he would be doing?" I waved my hand. " Scratch that...I don't want to know what you people think about." I scoffed while shuttering. That was a scary thought. Most likely could be, answered that they dream of dancing through money piles and eating off peoples pain, kind of like a wild boar. They smell, look disgusting and eat out of your garbage 'causing you the pain of having to clean up after them.

" Kai had a mission to do and my people say that he didn't do it at the designated time.... Why is that Tala?" Johnny asked, almost in a tone of sarcasm. The boy could be very annoying at times. Especially when he follows Kai and me around everywhere, it was pathetic.

I still didn't look up from my wound but dropped what I was doing, indicating my hands over my injury. " We kind of had something personal to deal with, something you people couldn't possibly understand. However, I am sure that by now the job is done, so quit your wining." I explained in annoyance. These organization people could be really nerve wrecking sometimes. If it wouldn't jeopardize Kai's and mine mission then I would've off them from this world long ago but sadly, I can't do that. However, after are mission is completed, I would great joy in riding them from this world for all the pain they've caused.

The door opened and was; slammed once more. I smiled. Now that was, a door slamming that could have only been created by the one and only Kai. I looked up from fixing my wound only to find myself in complete and utter shock. " What the...." I said falling ill to a state of speechlessness. The whole two hours I had spent worrying about my brother and he was out with a girl. This just didn't sit right with me, Kai going out with a girl after murdering someone. It didn't make any sense, as Kai would never pull something like this. Still I was becoming, ticked, if Kai was going to go look for girls he could've at least taken me along for the ride. Then I could've gotten a cute girl too. I sighed mentally watching her come closer to the door.

~ Female Witness ~ The air around me was still cold, even in Tokyo I hated winter, well not literally. There was, plenty I enjoyed about it and plenty I hated about it, it was half on half for me. The motorcycle slowly pulled up to a beautifully large estate. My eyes and even my mouth went into shock over its sheer beauty, it almost looked like a palace, like the one the emperor held. It was magnificent. My eyes fell from the house upon the man who had seized me. He was glaring up at me subtly. " Get off now." He commanded.

I sighed. Great now were back to being bossy! I thought becoming angered once more. I pushed myself from his bike. " Whatever." I growled, glowering back at him.

He ignored my glares as he had with everything else I had done. He walked stealthily in front of me up to the mansion like house. " Come on." he whispered. " And when we get inside...Keep your mouth shut." He informed harshly.

I glared at his back, hoping that he would just start on fire and I wouldn't have to deal with his ridiculous attitude. Although it would be even better if, he would just melt into a puddle of wax. I grinned at my devious thoughts; leisurely walking towards the door as the louse slowly opened it.

" Kai where have you been, did you complete the assassination?" The man asked. Assassination… I mused for a moment. My brows furrowed. I didn't get it, not completely anywise. The murder I had witness not long ago was an assassination. Therefore, that would make this boy before me my hero of the night an assassin. This was too much information to fast. I just thought that he killed that man as some kind of grudge or something on the lines of that. He was just doing his job; he killed an innocent man just because it was his duty. I walked carefully into the door, regretting it with every step taken, however, though I regretted walking into the room, I didn't feel so afraid and couldn't help but wonder why.

" I did." he replied callously. The organization agent leader looked over his shoulder at something behind him.

" What is this Kai? What is she doing here?" He questioned, seeming to be infuriated.

" She witnessed me assassinate David." He explained dispassionately.

" What do you mean she saw you kill?"

He shook his head. " You're such an idiot...It's like it sounds...Do you want me to sound it out for you." He sighed in irritation. " She. Saw. Me. Kill." He grounded out, trying to make sure that the man's puny brain could comprehend what he was saying. As I stood calmly behind him I couldn't help but smile at his display and stifle a laugh. I hadn't seen him so skeptical before. Then again, I hadn't known him for very long, but from what I gathered he wasn't big on being emotional. It was somewhat interesting to see him use another emotive besides being cold and bossy.

The agent scowled at Kai. At least that's what I thought I had heard the agent call the jerk. " You know what you need to do now don't you?" The man asked in a sadistic tone. I didn't particularly like his tone it was just plain creepy. " You have to kill her Kai." He explained.

Fear somewhat grazed me with its devastating arrow, my eyes opened wide at the man's idea of what Kai should do. I felt myself become frozen to my place. In the beginning of this I wasn't so scared and couldn't really figure out why as I know as truth that anybody who had been through what I had would be in fear of everyone around, them and probably crying. However, that fear I did not have before slowly caught up with me as I heard my life being, threatened by that sadistic man.

" No!" he shouted monotonously, tossing his hands from their crossed position to his side, clenching them tightly. " You people promised me all I had to kill was the people on the death list anyone else is not my problem." Kai reminded. Startled I was but I did not dare show it. Had he just refused to take my life? That's what it sounded like to me. His words slowly crept through my mind… Death list… I mused over those words for a moment before going back to listening as creepy man spoke.

The man walked over to Kai, he didn't seem happy at all and I knew it for a fact as he put his fist into the side of Kai's cheek sending him back a couple of inches. Though Kai didn't seem at all fazed by his attack." You will kill her, we can't let any witnesses go." He explained.

Kai shook his head his expressions visually empty. " She is no threat to you, she is weak and can't do anything." He explained as if he was mocking them for being afraid of a mouse to which I most certainly was not. " What are you afraid the she'll scream your heads off?" He asked.

I was, appalled by his little act. I growled stomping my foot. " Hey I resent that, I am not weak." I explained, fixing him good. I didn't like being, called weak. You call me that, then you were asking for a death wish. I would of giving him one if I wasn't preoccupied with praying that my life wouldn't be ended. I had too much to do still in life and couldn't have it end now.

" Do you want to die." Kai whispered for only my ears. I shook my head. " Then I suggest you be quiet."

I nodded. I would be quiet now but if I lived through this, I would have to give him a piece of my mind about his attitude.

Kai glared up at the man. " I refuse to kill anyone whose name is not written in blood on the list."

" All right Kai we'll keep our promise but if she does anything and I mean anything I don't like, I will put her name on the list in blood myself. Do I make myself clear?" He asked for assurance. Kai nodded. I smiled inwardly, I didn't know if I should think this is a good thing or not but at least they quit telling him to murder me. I watched as Kai re-crossed his arms and the agent who bore a sadistic smile spoke once more. I wished I could find a mute button on that man's face. His voice and attitude was just plain annoying. " I am putting her under your watch Hiwatari and if she screws up her death will be on your hands. " He explained.

I stepped forward from behind Kai, an irritated, angry look across my features. I was about to get up in the creepy man's face when a pair of hands grasped around my mouth dragging me backwards. The hands were rough at medium size judging by the feel and, the look of them I denoted that they belonged to a male. His lips bent over into my ear. " You need to be quiet my brother has saved you so fare but if you make an outburst then you could kiss your life goodbye." The definite male voice explained.

I nodded and he let go of me. I slowly turned to face this brother of Kai's and fell into a stupor by what I saw. He wore flaming red hair that seemed to stick out on each side with two little hairs in the front, he wore no shirt with a pair of baggy blue pants, and he looked nothing like Kai. My eyes fell upon a spot on his chest it looked like blood. He seemed to be aware that I was starring at him as he placed a hand over the bloody injury. " It was an accident not a big deal. However my brother treats it like my life was over." he explained. I turned away from him, looking back towards Kai. His brother had taken me a few feet away from where the action was, but not enough too where I couldn't see or hear anything.

The agent turned away from Kai heading for the door, waving to him over his shoulder, his crew following behind him. " You better watch out Hiwatari 'cause you're hanging by a small thread." The flaming red headed agent said much like a threat slamming the door behind him.

Kai shook his head. Turning away from the door, his eyes were, shut tightly, he didn't seem all too happy. " Aren't we all." He whispered heading down the hallway. He stopped next to his brother and me. " Tala..." His eyes opened, he looked down at his chest. " You look better.... Take care of her, I am going to bed." He said callously walking off down the hallway. I couldn't believe what I had just seen, not only is he cold to everyone else and me, he is even cold to his own flesh and blood.

Tala just nodded, totally disregarding his coldness as if he had never felt it. I didn't know how he could do that, if I were in his place I would smack him. " Come on...What did you say your name was?" He asked becoming at a loss for words.

All cogitation within me left; a smile crept to my lips as I looked into his fiery orbs. " I never said... It's Lain Mori but you can call me Lain." I informed.

Nodding, Tala left down the hall where Kai had gone recently through. " Come on, follow me…" he said.

I nodded slightly, walking after him. I couldn't believe he was, related to Kai. I couldn't see how that was even possible, nothing about them would make any one even consider them to be related. Tala seemed nicer and more inviting while Kai, I already could tell was cold and shut out everyone. To me they were complete opposites.

Tala stopped about halfway, pointing to a door right next to him. " This is Kai's room, your are not to go in there for any reason at all. Do you understand?" He stated, waiting for me to reassure him.

I didn't quite understand what would be so bad about going into his room but by the look on Tala's face, it didn't seem like a good idea. I nodded. " All right." I assured. With the glint in his eyes and the twitching of his mouth, I knew he was thankful for my answer. He turned from me once more taking me down the hall further. These halls were so white and narrow I almost felt trapped in them, it was somewhat scary. The agent said that I was under Kai's guard. So that meant I would have to stay here and never go home but I forced the thought to pass easily as I didn't want to think about that now and rather worry about it later.

Tala stopped again in front of a tall oak door, it wasn't white as the last one, which was great. The color white, I didn't know how much more of that color I could handle. He opened the door, his hand signaling me to follow him to, which I easily obeyed. I was, astonished by this room it was so awesome. The walls seemed to be plastered with anime posters. I loved anime but felt sort of childish about it as I didn't think anyone my age would actually like it though I couldn't see why as it was like the coolest thing ever. " This is my room." He explained. I walked into the middle of the room, studying it carefully. He had a large window, a bed with Cowboy Bebop blankets. Moreover, he had pillows that were of the show 'Inuyasha', one had Kagome and the other Inuyasha, and it was, cool. He had an oak desk at the right of his bed, next to the closet. His closet had an animated drawn painting on the wooden doors. " You can stay in here and I will sleep on the couch." He said walking over to his closet.

" Did you paint this picture." I asked pointing to the closet doors.

Quitting what he was doing he looked over to the door of his closet. He grunted and then looked over his shoulder at me, a smile on his lips. " Do you like it?" He asked, not seeming to care what the outcome of my answer was.

Walking over to the door, I placed a hand over the art. My blue orbs starred at it thoughtfully, I had never seen anything quite like it. It was so uniquely magnificent. It was enchanting. It was of, a boy. He wore a leather trench; blue hair and his eyes was a hardened silvery blue. He had beautiful angel wings but seemed to be crying and his wings seemed to be disintegrating as if he was becoming fallen, along with half of his body that seemed to fade. I couldn't quite figure how to describe it; there was so many ways to look at it. " Yeah it's a beautiful piece of animated art but what anime is the piece from?" I finally asked.

" Hold on a second." He sat backwards away from the closet, holding a piece of clothing that I couldn't quite see yet and then stood from the ground shutting his closet door. Residing next to me, he placed a hand over the work. " It's hard to say what it is, though it's definitely not from an anime but I call it ' Wings not Chosen'. I drew it from something that seems to always inspire me to do better and gives me courage...It's stupid really." He explained. He turned to look at me, handing me the clothes that he took from his closet. " Here wear these- I gave them to my girlfriend years ago but she didn't like them and when I tried to take them back...Well lets just say that some places don't give refunds." I took the clothes but didn't bother to look at them, I couldn't take my eyes away from his work, there was something so familiar about it, but I couldn't put my finger on what it was. I had seen that face before but just didn't know where to place it. " Is something the matter.... Oh no don't tell me you hate the clothes too." He moaned.

I shook my head, slowly crashing back to reality. " No that's not it." I turned to look at him with a smile. " It's just that this picture reminds me of someone but I just don't know who." I explained. I shook my head again. " Never mind." I looked down at his clothes. They weren't that bad. The clothes were a black tank top that was, covered in a flame print. It was actually neat. He had good taste. His girlfriend must have been insane. The jeans were black too and very baggy, it was awesome. "These clothes are great but why are you giving them to me?" I asked.

He smiled at me. "Well you certainly can't wear those clothes, they have blood on them." I looked down at myself in amazement I hadn't noticed it before but some of the blood when Kai made his kill must flown away in the wind landing on my shirt. Now I was, covered in the sticky crimson liquids. In some places it was, obviously my own blood from when the Highlanders beat me up in the alley, though that was just on my legs and arms. " And I don't need them, I am not a girl." He sighed. " You can ware them till we get you some more clothes." He explained.

I nodded, walking towards and taking a seat on the bed. " Cool..." I said and after a few minutes I spoke up again. " So you really are Kai's brother." I said trying maybe to get into a conversation with him, as I couldn't stand the silence.

" Yeah that's right." He then leaned against his closet door, his arms crossed against his chest.

A slight darkness clouded my eyes. " Hmm.…but you're nothing like him. You don't even bare the same resemblance to him."

" Well that's 'cause I am adopted."

" Well that explains a lot." I said somewhat arrogantly.

" What's that supposed to mean?" He asked in disgust.

I smiled. " Nothing."

He shook his head. " Whatever."

A gaping silence took to the room.

A murky smirk took residence over my lips. I starred down at the bed almost in a trance. While messing with the fabric of the blanket with my right hand. " So-" I began but was cut off by Tala.

" I am sorry that you had to see that." He apologized.

Surprised, I quickly looked up from the bed at him. " Sorry for seeing what?" I asked.

He just starred at me almost as if he was trying to reinforce my memory with a glare filled with knowledge. Luckily, It jolted my memory and I realized what he was talking about. " Oh yeah..." I gestured my hands in an uncaring way. " Ah don't worry about it... I know anybody would be scared after witnessing something like that but for some reason I wasn't so don't worry."

He rose an eyebrow in surprise. " Really!"

I shook my head. " Yeah I don't know why but I just wasn't scared of seeing it and even afterwards."

" Interesting." He said shutting his eyes.

" What is?"

" That's interesting to me 'cause I expected when if ever Kai had a witness that he or she would be scared and huddle up in a corner crying for us to not hurt them." He paused re-opening his eyes. " But you are so comfortable and relaxed around us-the killers- and you even talk to me like nothing happened. When you first came here, I saw your face; you weren't scared at all and even were about to take on the ser-agents. However, there was, that moment when your eyes did flare from hearing them talk about killing you. "

Both my brows rose and I starred at him as if he was crazy. He had gotten some of that true as I was scared when they mentioned killing me but he was way out of line on everything else. " Where would you come up with something like that! I was, only making friendly conversation with you. If I have to stay in this miserable place for the rest of my life, I would like to know whom I am staying with. As for the other things- of course I wanted to knock that guy out, he was a jerk." I sighed. " And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that I was scared of dying, anybody would be."

He just all-knowingly ginned at me. " Yeah well I would say for someone who just witnessed a murder and was captured by the killer you sure act strangely clam and comfortable. Now what I can't figure out is, are you just easily not afraid of things-Beside your own death- or is their something else going on." He said his eyes becoming shady.

I stood from the bed in a rage. " What are saying- you think I am a spy or something?"

" Is that a confession?"

I gritted my teeth. " I am hardly a spy...Do I even look like one too you? I am just a high school girl who was caught in something bigger."

" Excuses, excuses. Just what a spy would do-Try to cover there tracks and besides I never accused you of being one, you did that on your own."

My mouth fell. " Oh my gosh are you always this suspicious?"

" Only when I need to be."

I placed my hands to my temples feeling a headache coming about. " You know you could really give someone head trauma from all of these dumb allegations and questions." I said in irritation. In the beginning, I thought he was a plain all around nice person but now I see that he has his share of issues, as did Kai. From this, I mean that he wasn't a completely nice person as he was cocky and suspicious too. I needed to learn not to quickly judge people as they try so hard to hide things form others.

" I try." He said almost in conceit. " But I guess you're trustworthy." He said taking a seat next to me.

I looked up at him. " Whatever, where can I change at."

He pointed to a door next to the one we had just came into the room in. " There's a bathroom right there." He explained. " There's also a shower/bath in there if you want to clean the blood from your skin." He informed me kindly.

I nodded. I held the clothes in my hand and stood from the bed, walking towards the door. A bath sounded nice, it might make my battered body feel better. I ached all over the place, my legs had a numbing tingling feeling to them, I just wanted to fall to the ground right then and there but was to tough to follow through with that desire. My arms felt like they would detach from my body at any second and I could've sworn that when the bullies had beaten me that they had broken my arms in the process. My ribs even felt broken, yeah, a bath sounded great. " I might just do that...Thanks." I whispered, shutting the door as I entered the bathroom.

~|~

~ Tala ~ I sat back in my chair at the kitchen table, before me was, dinner, pizza. Kai wasn't, around so I could eat something besides Ramen. I took a bite of the pizza and sat it back down in the plate. I couldn't help but wonder what happened today? What happened with my brother? It was strange to hear that Kai actually had a witness. He was usually so good with seeing things before hand but something must've happened to change it. Now we have to share are living corridors with a girl, I thought you only had to do that when you got married. I shrugged, oh well it looks like that day just came, even if it was sooner then normal.

The Lain girl seemed all right but if she liked anime then she had to be at least somewhat cool. I was suspicious at first of her, I mean it was strange how she was acting about this whole situation but after talking to her I don't think I would have to worry about her. However, she likes to run her mouth, which could be trouble. Kai being her guard didn't sit right with me either. Kai had too much to deal with already he didn't need her to worry about too. He probably wouldn't watch her though, probably just ignore her completely. I sighed, that would mean that I would have to baby-sit, her, Damn.

" Tala?" A loud feminine voice called out.

" Oh crap I forgot." I groaned beneath my breath. I had left her in the bathroom unattended, which meant she could get lost; after all, she had never been in this house before. I scooted out from my chair all rearing and ready to go find her in the big house only to encounter her as she waltzed into the kitchen. I stopped right in front of her before I would cause any damage. " I thought you were lost?"

She looked up at me with latent smile. " I was lost, this place is huge, but I am not anymore." She explained.

I shook my head and grunted. " Whatever, are you hungry?" He asked.

She nodded and by the look that crossed her face, I gathered that she was starving. Using my hands, I beckoned her to follow me. I lead her to the table where I had been recently eating and sat her down in a seat, being all gentleman like, pulling the chair out for her. Once she was, seated properly, I went back to my seat across from her. " Is pizza okay?" I asked, personally I loved pizza but some people hate it, I just hoped that she wasn't one of those people.

She brightly grinned at me but in a sarcastic light. " Well duh! You would have to be completely brain dead not to like pizza." she explained.

I laughed. " You got that right but don't say that in front of Kai, unless you have a death wish." I warned.

Her eyes narrowed as she gawked at me suspiciously. " Why not?" She asked.

I sighed scratching the side of my head. " Because he hates pizza." I groaned. I could recall a time when someone at school called him a loser for hating pizza that boy was in the hospital for a week and even when he returned to school, he wasn't the same. I shuttered mentally. My brother really had a temper that could never be, tamed.

Lain looked at me as if I was insane, she pounded her fist against the table standing from her seat. " You got to be kidding me, you mean to tell me he is not only stuck up he has no food taste!" She yelled in shock.

My eyes opened at her outburst, my heart was pounding a mile a minute, I had not expected for her to do that. I kindly gestured with my hands for her to tone it down. " Shhh, he will hear you." I advised.

She placed her hands over her mouth sitting back down in her seat. " I am sorry, I just can't believe he can hate pizza." She apologized.

" I know but he doesn't and it's not that big of a deal, he just doesn't eat it..." I explained in irritation. She really angered me when she called Kai stuck up as he was fare from it but for reason, I couldn't get mad at her for it.

" Oh...Well I guess I can't hold it against him. There are some things I hate that people think I am crazy for and I know it hurts to be called weird." She dejected, relating to Kai.

I smiled inwardly at her. " Yeah.... By the way I guess this is a good time to tell you that Kai only will eat Ramen." I used my hands once more to signal for her not to say anything yet. " So if you want anything different you will have to ask me and you can only eat it when Kai is not around. If Kai is around you have to eat Ramen." I placed my hand over my heart. " It is considered unholy to not eat it..." I explained with seriousness while being sarcastic at the same time. It was the somewhat the truth; if Kai sees you eating something besides Ramen at dinnertime or any other time, he can become nasty towards you.

Her eyes opened wide, she sighed. " Uhh, all right...I think I can handle that." She assured me, more like she was trying to assure herself. I smirked. I knew first hand that she wouldn't be able to handle eating Ramen everyday as I wasn't able to, which was why every now and then I would sneak into the kitchen to eat something different. I had a refrigerator hidden in the back of the kitchen; Kai never goes back there so he would never know.

" Good." Now that was taken care of there was still something that had been bugging me ever since Kai had come home with a witness to his kill, I hoped that maybe Lain could shed some light on it. " So...Do you think you might be able to tell me what happened with you and my brother?" I asked hoping that she would be willing to help put my mind at ease.

She bowed her head, taking in a deep breath. " Well... "

I stood from my seat after a few hours of chatting with Lain about what happened with Kai, I stretched all my mussels out as I felt all cramped up from never once moving during her story. After I got in a good stretch, I looked down at the tired girl with a blank look. " Why don't you go to sleep." I told a hint of concern in my voice. This Lain girl after awhile of being with her seemed all right. I think that she may be the cure to all the hostility and wreckage around this house. I knew the next few weeks with her would be interesting.

" Are you sure?" She asked.

I nodded. " Yeah." I walked towards the exit of the kitchen. " I probably go to sleep in a while too." I explained. I was tired too; I could feel the flesh under my eyes becoming heavy, almost sagging down to my mouth.

"All right but?"

I leaned against the entryway to the living room. " What?" I yawned, curiously awaiting her answer.

" Remember what we talked about… Kai needs an attitude adjustment as from what I told you, you have to admit he's messed up...He's got to smile."

" Are you volunteering to try to make him smile?"

" Maybe...but remember I gonna need your help. "

" That would be a sight to see and if you need anything just ask." He said. " Well see ya tomorrow."

" Wait."

I stopped. " What now."

" Well it's been bugging me since I few minutes after I met him but I don't why-It's weird- but I have to know why is Kai so cold?" She asked, she seemed so curious but at the same time sort of dole as she felt bad for him. She knew nothing about his life but for some reason seemed sad for him. If she only knew the truth, it would make the devil cry to what he went through in life. It was something no six-year-old needed to go through.

I looked over my shoulder, with a pure look, an innocent half smile. " I can't tell you as you wouldn't understand." I said walking off into the living room and my new sleeping corridors. She could never understand, no one could ever fathom the pain and torment he was subjected too but then who could ever truly understand him, I didn't and certainly still don't understand everything.

Therefore how could she...

Author Note: Yippee! I finished the third chapter. Yep, I hope you all like Lain, I know people are probably saying, " She's a total Mary sue!" Well, I don't care what you people say about it, it's just plain mean to get angry because a writer has the creativity to come up with their own character. Besides, this story is only on it's third chapter (Not counting the prologue.) you will soon find out with time that I already have plans for all the other girls in the show so that leaves me with no more. Lain, I brought her on as a big part of the story. You see I know I said that this story is an angst/suspense but it's not true…as you see in my summary it also will contain; Drama/Romance/Humor… Fan-Fiction.net doesn't allow for, five story genres so I could only put two and I put what would be the most in this fiction.

Anywise, I should warn you all now this story will later get very bad as I LOVE SAD STORIES. This isn't going to be one of those all the time happy go lucky stories, I don't like those as it think it's too easy nothing in life is easy. However, there will be many happy times in here.

Update Notice: I have more stories besides this one to update so this one won't be update for at least till Friday maybe Monday 'cause I have to update my other ones first. I hope no one gets angry. (I do have a life outside of fiction you know.... I think.) _

Frontier of Darkness: Thanks you for your help. I am glad you liked the last chapter and hope this one was too your liking as well. Cool, I happy you liked the story that much that you would honor it with a pace on your list. (I am grateful for that ~_^)

NObOdY: You are a very perceptive person! You are right she should have been screaming but there is a good reason she didn't which will be revealed in time. @_@ You completely read my mind! Tala and Lain making Kai's life a living nightmare… I brought her on for that reason and another one too. As for everything else… I know I put too much detail into things but that's because I want people to know what's going on in a deeper level but I guess I when I look back on what I wrote there was some things the story could do without so when I write from now on I'll try to leave out some details that don't need to be. I hope this chapter was too you liking.
