A/N Alright, you've got to tell me what you think about this please! The more reviews the more I write. I do not own MP or its characters, but I do own the plot and Kage.

***dream*** "Dirty human," Jeshickah threw a young child to the ground painfully.

The child looked up, she had long silk black hair and piercing blue eyes, beautiful, and rare, She stared at the vampire with fear in her eyes, whispering, "Kill me this time, please."

Jeshickah kicked her in the ribs, causing her to fly across the floor, "Kill you? Is that what you want?" She picked up the child after a few moments of silence, "Answer me child."

She nodded slowly, "Yes, milady."

Jeshickah threw the child again and pulled out a whip, and snapped it; it tore into the child's back, she screamed in pain as she felt the sticky blood drip down her back.

"I have something else in mind, pet." Jeshickah walked over to the child and picked her up throwing her back into a cell, by herself, no one else was with her, Jeshickah walked off.

***end of dream***

Kage woke up as soon as her CD stopped playing, Nathaniel looked back and handed her some more batteries.

"Morning," He glanced at her in the mirror; she was a piece of art, a black silk hair blue crystal eyed angel adorned with leather pants and a suede black tank top. Her hair was long, down to the middle of her back. He smiled slightly.

"Morning," Kage nodded slightly, the dream had shook her up.

"Alright? You woke with a slight jump." Nathaniel had a hint of concern in his voice.

"Yeah, the barrier just woke me up, that's it." She covered up quickly not wanting to explain what was going on in her head.

Nathaniel cursed as someone almost ran them off the road; he looked at the car, a Lamborghini, Jeshickah's car.

He pulled up to the gates of midnight, "Listen, I am going to have to present you like a slave to Jaguar because somebody unwanted is here. You know the rules; I am your master until you are sold."

Kage nodded, "Yes milord," her voice went down to softer than soft and her eyes moved away from the vampire.

He smiled, "Not bad,"

He pulled her out of the car and led her up to Jaguar's room. Kage glanced around and shivered, it reminded her so much of the old Midnight though, the atmosphere seemed some what different.

He knocked on Jaguar's door, a smooth "come in" was heard, but it was not Jaguar's voice, no, it was Jeshickah's. Kage recoiled for a moment but remembered that she was going to be paid well for this.

Nathaniel glanced at her, "as soon as we walk in bow."

She nodded slightly as he opened the door; they walked in and Kage went down to one knee and kept her eyes to the ground, no desire to see the vampire of her past.

"Ah Nathaniel, what are you doing here?" Jeshickah walked over to him, Jaguar was standing by the desk.

"I found a child that Jaguar might be interested in buying, she is basically broke." He motioned to Kage.

Jeshickah moved forward swiftly, "She seems familiar, look at me pet." Her words were cold.

Kage hesitated for a moment but moved so that she was looking up at Jeshickah, "Yes milady?" her voice was shaky.

"Ah if it isn't you!" Jeshickah smiled wickedly, "Look Jaguar, it's your pet from the old Midnight."

Jaguar walked over, "Kage?"

She looked back down, "Yes milord?"

Jeshickah laughed, "I'll be back later kitty."

"You brought her back here to be a body guard?" Jaguar looked at Nathaniel sternly.

He nodded, "I didn't know that she had been in the old Midnight until after she excepted the job."

Jaguar nodded, "Stand up Kage," he then turned to Nathaniel, "Thank you Nathaniel," he handed him a large envelope.

Nathaniel was gone with in a blink of the eye. Kage was standing up looking down, she hadn't known that Jaguar was her old master's name, she just called him Milord, or master, and now she was his body guard, it wasn't him that she had a grudge on, it was Jeshickah.

"Kage, where have you been?" His voice was smooth, just like she remembered.

"Master, after Midnight burned down, I managed to live on my own, around 1970 a huntress named Marissa found me and adopted me into her hunting circle, which is were Nathaniel found me." She left it vague on purpose.

He nodded slightly, "You may call me Jaguar when you are with me, around any other address me and them as Milord or Milady, unless you want to be beat."

She nodded slightly, "Things have changed around here, haven't they?"

He smiled slightly, "Yes, but you are still suppose to be my pet, so you will be treated like one by others."

She nodded, "and Jeshickah is the one I am suppose to protect you from?"

He nodded again, "Yes," the door suddenly swung open and Jeshickah was standing there, "did you get your pet back, kitty?"

Kage bowed, "Milady."

Jaguar nodded and pulled Kage up to her feet and against him, "Yes, and I am very pleased, it will be just like old times, right Kage?"

She nodded slightly, "Yes Master." She didn't really enjoy his touch, but she didn't hate him, it was better then being beaten.

Jeshickah walked over to the two, and brushed her finger tips down Kage's face. Kage recoiled slightly pressing against Jaguar.

"Just remember, pet, if I find that you aren't broken, I will break you, again." She turned to walk out, "Jaguar, we have a meeting."

He nodded, "Right," he waited until she was out the door and it was shut, "Since you are supposed to be my body guard you are to stay with me at all times and here," He handed her a small dagger.

She took it and hid it on the inside of her pants on her thigh. "Am I to go to this meeting with you?"

He nods, "I said everywhere."

She nodded slightly, still shaky.

"You are to act like a pet, just like you used to."

She nodded slightly again, "Yes master" her voice sounded almost playful.

"Good, now come." His voice was cold just like he was talking to a pet. She followed exactly three paces behind him, like in the old days.

Then entered the room, Jeshickah with some child that coward behind her, and Gabriel with Ravyn by his side.

Jaguar pulled Kage forward and wrapped an arm around her waist, they walk over to a chair at the other end of the table Jaguar sat in the chair, and Kage sat on the floor.

She soon drifted into sleep, though not completely unaware, her head was laying in Jaguar's lap as he stroked her hair. Every thing was just like it used to be, except that she was armed this time.
