Yuki: Chapter 12, though I haven't gotten too many reviews, so I don't know
why I keep writing. R+R please.
Audra walked into Jaguar's room; she switched off the radio, as a result Kage woke up, she recognized Audra as a vampire and slipped off the bed into a bow.
Jaguar sat up, "Audra, back so soon?"
She nodded, "easy change."
"But we have a problem, you belong to Jeshickah if you took Nathaniel's blood." Jaguar stood ignoring Kage.
"We thought of that, he had another mercenary offer blood." She smiled her new fangs showing.
"Very good," He walked to a table and picked up a bowl of food, "Here Kage" He handed her the bowl; she took it and ate.
"Can I try to get near her again?" Audra motioned to Kage.
"When she's done," he nodded and walked out to where his desk was to grab his whip.
Kage put the bowl on the table when she was finished and picked up her pan flute; Audra walked over to her and tried to touch the slice on Kage's cheek. Kage flinched and started to move back, Jaguar stepped in. Kage saw him and stayed still letting Audra touch the wound.
Kage shut her eyes when she was touched but surprising to her Audra's touch was soft.
"That's pretty deep Jaguar, shouldn't it be taken care of?" She stood up.
"You can if you want, she is your pet now too." He leaned in the door way.
"I don't like the idea of pets," she wiped the blood off her hand.
"You'll get used to it." Jaguar stepped further in, "Kage come. I have another meeting today. We'll be back in a little while." They walked out only to be greeted at the end of the hall.
"Running late my pet?" Jeshickah looked up at them, Kage bowed.
"Yeah, Kage had to eat." He hinted to the girl on the ground.
"I see," She started walking down the hall, "We have someone that wants to buy one of our slaves."
Jaguar followed, and Kage followed him.
They entered the room Kage bowed knowing that there was another vampire there. Jaguar pulled her up after the vampire in the room was done looking at her, they walked to his seat, Kage sat on the floor.
"You want to by him?" Jeshickah pointed to the guy who was chained to the wall.
Kage looked at the guy on the wall as the other Vampire answered, "Yes," Kage recognized him it was the guy from the dinner.
"He's barely broken," Jaguar pointed out, "Not to mention he picked a fight with a Triste and now he can't age."
Kage looked up, they way Jaguar was talking sounded like he was describing the guy from Vampirious. That wasn't possible, was it?
"That's fine, I'll finish breaking him, and the fact that he won't age is fine." Kyomi shrugged slightly, "Speaking of pets Jaguar, is that one for sale?" He pointed to Kage who was now peeking around the table to get a better look at the guy that was for sale.
"No, this is my pet, Kage." She felt Jaguar's hand in her hair and she saw the other guy's eyes widen.
"I see, well if you ever decide to sell her, let me know. Now shall we go negotiate prices?" He started walking out then turned to Kage who was now messing with her pan flute. He picked her up and sat her on the table, "Why don't you entertain my soon to be slave?" He hinted towards her flute.
Jaguar turned when he sensed Kage tensing more then usual, "Go head Kage, stay here and play."
The three vampires walked out Kage sat on the table her knees pulled to her chest and she started to play. The guy chained to the wall listened and both their minds traveled to the past.
*flash back for both of them*
Kage was sitting on a dinning table in the mess hall of Vampirious playing her flute.
"You're getting better," Yuri walked in; he was dressed in his hunting garbs ready for his assignment.
"Thanks," Kage looked up and smiled, she was getting used to his company now. "What is your assignment?"
"I'm off to find a vampire that is with in Midnight's walls," He sat down next to her.
Kage visibly cringed when he mentioned Midnight, "I wish you luck," she started playing again but stopped suddenly when she felt his arm around her waist.
"I'll be back, you don't have to worry." He smiled, and she smirked he always knew what she was thinking and sometimes that scared her.
"I would be worried if anyone willing put themselves in Midnight," She shrugged, he laughed why was he always good humored?
"Even if Marissa went in?" He raised an eye brow at her.
"No, if Marissa went in I would hope she didn't come out." She laughed slightly, she was thankful for Marissa taking her in, but she had a long way to go before she understood Kage.
He turned her head before she started playing again, "You'll see me again, I promise Kage, I won't leave you alone here." He kissed her softly and Kage pulled back slightly surprised but then welcomed the kiss.
He reassured Kage one more time though neither of them knew it at the time, this would be the last time they would see each other at Vampirious.
*end flash back*
"Kage?" The guy looked up from the wall.
She stopped playing but didn't answer, she didn't even know if she could speak still.
"It is you right?" He stood up though the chain around his neck and the ones on his feet kept him from going to far.
She nodded and went to continue playing.
"Kage, why are you here again?" He tried to step forward but couldn't.
She shrugged but continued playing.
"They broke you haven't they?" his voice had a light tone in it since he knew the answer and he knew what Kage was like after she had escaped Midnight the first time.
She nodded and continued to play; just like old times he would talk she would play.
He smiled at her, "Kage, come here, I won't hurt you."
Kage glanced at him then to the door.
"They aren't going to come back for a few minutes," He reassured her.
She set the flute down, got off the table, and walked over to him.
He used one of his hands to make her look up at him, she meet his goldish brown eyes with her crystal blue ones. And he embraced her, the first human contact she had since she entered Midnight for the second time. They heard noise out side of the door and Yuri reluctantly let go of Kage and she jumped back on the table and started playing again.
"He's all yours Kyomi." Jaguar threw him the keys, "Come Kage," Kage jumped off the table and went to Jaguar she kept her downcast glance towards the side so that she could watch Yuri leave with his new master.
Audra walked into Jaguar's room; she switched off the radio, as a result Kage woke up, she recognized Audra as a vampire and slipped off the bed into a bow.
Jaguar sat up, "Audra, back so soon?"
