Yuki: here I am again ^^ please R+R

And warning this chapter takes place over the course of three days.

I don't own MP but I do own Kage and the plot.

"Come child." Jeshickah motioned for Kage to come to her, Kage stayed where she was, she had no desire to be beaten by a vampire.

"I said come child!" She stepped forwards Kage stepped back but only found the wall behind her. Pain started to fill her body and she dropped to the ground her black hair fell in front of her face blocking her tears from view. She started to crawl forward almost in too much pain to even do that; once she was at Jeshickah's feet the pain stopped flowing through her veins.

Jaguar sat at his desk looking through papers he had three days, maybe it would just be easier to give Jeshickah Midnight and just leave. No because that would most likely leave Kage here. He sighed a not needed breath, it looked like his only choice was to return to the cruel master he was before.

Jeshickah now had Kage up against the wall by her throat, "Remember child? Remember the past?" she laughed cruelly, in the past it took Jeshickah three years to break Kage, and even then she wasn't truly broken. "Answer me child, what is on your mind? Hmm? Or shall I just pry in there to find out?"

Kage coughed slightly, she was bruised and some of her ribs were splintered, "Yes I remember." She growled trying to get out of Jeshickah's grip, her eyes searched Jeshickah for a weapon, but it seemed the vampire became smart and didn't bring anything but her whip in. "I'm thinking about how much I hate you"

Jaguar looked up as a knock came at the door, "Come in." his voice was no longer that smooth. Audra walked in, "Jaguar, I talked to the Triste."

He nodded slightly, "And?"

She sighed, "He can't get here until next month at the earliest."

He bit his lip slightly, "I take it he has other business to attend to."

She nodded, "Family business, though he promises that he will be here, he said something about what Jeshickah did to a girl wasn't right."

Jaguar looked up, "He was the one that put that curse on Kage."

Audra looked slightly confused, "Who?"

Jeshickah smiled wickedly as she held Kage to the wall, "you're such a spoiled brat." She used her mind to send memories into Kage's mind.

Kage's eyes widened in fear when she saw her mother being slaughtered again. She could see the blood that vampire lick the blood off his fingers, Jaguar held Kage against him keeping her from helping, this was their second to last extreme measure to break Kage.

"So you are thinking about becoming the ruthless trainer you once were?" Audra sighed as she finished listening to Jaguar's story.

He nodded slightly, "yes, unless I find some way to avoid it."

She shook her head, "Then shall I keep Eric with me?"

"Yes, I don't want him exposed to this." He stood up, "When that Triste comes, if he comes, everything will go back to the way it is now." His voice held a slight I hope tone in it.

She nodded and started out, "I will let you get back to your work." She walked out, and Jaguar sighed.

Kage clinched her teeth, "That's the past it doesn't matter anymore." Jeshickah changed the memories into vivid pain instead. Kage recoiled in pain so that her feet were no long on the ground and she was being held up merely by Jeshickah's hand around her neck.

"That's a good slave," she threw Kage against a wall, "Now for your lessons. Titles. You are to address everyone as milord or milady, unless your master tells you other wise." Kage was huddled in the corner, odd how she became so weak and fragile when she was at the mercy of this vampire, most hunters would find a way to kill the vampire. Kage guessed that she was not meant to be free as she felt Jeshickah's boot in her side.

Jaguar stood as Audra left, he looked out the window waiting to see Jeshickah's Lamborghini, but he never saw it. He walked out of his office going to check on the slave quarters making sure they were in their new order. He couldn't believe what he was going to do he was so sure that the blind girl had solved his cruelty problems.

Jeshickah laughed as she chained Kage's hands to the floor of a new chamber "You will learn to obey your master child, you will, I know your weakness." Another wicked smile passed Jeshickah's face. Kage struggled against the chains, Jeshickah placed a bowl of food just out of Kage's reach, "Now child, back to the weak girl you once were." The past started to fill Kage's mind with extreme pain attached to it, her eyes widened in fear the past was the last thing she wanted to see.

Jaguar woke as the sun had set, he stood and looked out the window once again checking for Jeshickah's car. The view of him from below would have been a beautiful sight had someone been down there, his golden tanned skin went perfectly with his leather pants, his trainers pants, they hugged his form and were much different from the soft black pants that he wore most of the time. He cursed slightly when he realized that Jeshickah wasn't there, oh well he had work to do.

Jeshickah laughed at the shape that Kage was in when she came back that night. Kage was curled on the floor covering her ears the best she could as if try to block out the sounds of something. She was sleeping but stirring painfully so, the illusion that Jeshickah had made the morning before was still in play.

"Wake up child," Jeshickah gave Kage a swift kick in the ribs cracking one of them more. Kage woke up but stared at the ground. Jeshickah gave many orders each one Kage followed like a dog, Jeshickah had found the key to breaking the hunter, her past.

Jaguar snapped the whip at one of the slaves that had dropped and broke something, he almost recoiled at the sound of it hitting human flesh but stopped himself. He walked off to find a bleeder he needed to feed, he hadn't feed since the morning before, he had too much work to do.

Kage was prepared for inspection, Jeshickah wanted to make sure Kage was perfect before returning her to Jaguar. Kage sat with her eyes downcast she wore nothing more then a simple sheet covering her allowing Jeshickah to see everything,

"Your left wrist, what is wrong with it?" Jeshickah noticed that Kage was using only her right had to keep her self up while Jeshickah looked at her back.

"Master Jaguar broke it, it was never set right so it did not heal properly." Her voice was barely audible.

She nodded slightly and forced Kage all the way to the floor, "While your down there lick my boots." Kage hesitated for a moment and was greeted with pain and a faint sense of blood in her mouth, "Do not hesitate" Kage started slowly to lick Jeshickah's boot.

Jaguar watched as the sun slowly sank below the mountains, he turned to his desk and opened a small box, he pulled out a leather black collar with a tag on it, Kage was inscribed on the silver tag. He had one of the slaves run out and get it for him during the day. He heard the screech of car tires and he turned back to the window, Jeshickah's Lamborghini was in the drive.

Jeshickah came out of the car with a whip in her left hand she opened the door and a girl came out ever so slowly, but who was this girl she was almost unrecognizable, Kage, she was returned to the state she had been in before she left Midnight. Jaguar sighed hoping that he made the right choice, humans were just humans right?

He was sitting at his desk when the handle of the door turned, Jeshickah must have made her rounds before coming to him, as soon as they entered Kage was on her knees bowing to Jaguar, he stared up at Jeshickah his whip coiled on the desk, "She is broken?" She nodded, "Yep, I found her weakness, it was easy."

He nodded, "Kage come." His voice was so cold it was almost unrecognizable.

Kage slowly got up and walked over to him sitting at his feet, her black hair tumbled about her shoulders. He ran a hand through her soft hair, "Beautiful,"

Jeshickah nodded, "I like what you did with the place Kitty. It is getting to satisfaction."

Jaguar continued to run a hand through Kage's hair, her blue eyes were downcast staring at Jaguar's boots.

"Why don't you breed her?" Jeshickah walked over going to pet Kage but Kage recoiled thinking she was going to be hit.

"I don't think so. One of the things with pets is that they learn more as they age, Kage won't age, she might pass that on." Jaguar glanced up at the door as if he was expecting someone else to come it.

Jeshickah smacked Kage up side the head, "Do not pulled back from your masters."

Kage leaned her head on Jaguar's leg as if looking for protection. Jaguar just simply stroked her hair. Jeshickah spotted the box on his desk.

"What is that?" She glided over to it and opened, "A collar for your new pet?" She held it up.

Jaguar nodded, "so if she gets loose again everyone knows that she is a pet, not a human child." He took it from Jeshickah and put it on Kage.

Kage buried her face in Jaguar's leg, thinking to herself, how could I let this happen? I was a hunter! And now I am nothing but a pet, again.

Jaguar's voice entered her head, you are a pet and always have been Kage, just like a lost dog you would never be able to survive on your own, and you know that.

She sighed she had been screwed again on a job once she had almost gotten herself killed and now she is back in her past. She laid her head on Jaguar's lap and started falling asleep to the fait music that was playing from a radio near by. There was nothing she could do, not now.

(Yuki: that is not the end of the story! R+R please!)
