Chapter 7: Dilemma- In Trouble
"Hello? Are they there?" Gigi asked into the phone. "Okay, yeah. How'd you guess? Come on over. Sure. Thanks, bye." She hung up the phone, grinning.
"Who was that?" Kai asked.
"Tala and the others. They're coming over, apparently they ditched school too." She replied.
"Tala and what others?" He asked as he bit his lip, hoping it wasn't what he thought it was.
"Well, Tala, Enrique, Oliver, Kevin, Lee, Spencer, Ozuma, Dunga, Joseph, Kane, Jim, Goki, Johnny, Mariam, Salima, Mariah, Ray, Tyson, Max, Michael, Emily, Hilary..." She listed them off.
"With all of them it sounds like..." Kai began as the doorbell rang. They went down stairs and to open the door. "A party."
"Gee, how'd you guess?" Gigi asked sarcastically. Kai opened the door to reveal a very pissed off Mitko.
"What do you want?" Kai sighed.
"You were fucking around with Kurina!" Mitko growled. "She told me about Melody."
"I was not fucking around with her, that was three years ago, and besides, it's about time she told you the truth!" Kai retorted.
"Who's the slut?" Mitko asked as he eyed Gigi over.
"My name's Gigi, and I'm not a slut." She hissed.
"Sure." Mitko replied, turning back to Kai. "Someone wanted me to come here and ask you guys a favor."
"Who asked you?" Kai asked, eyeing him suspiciously. Mitko pulled out a tranquilizer gun and shot Kai.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?!" Gigi shouted as she pounced on him. She knocked the weapon out of his hands and pinned him down on the floor. Kai felt the tranquilizer take it's affect on him, and he fell asleep. 'I've had enough of you.' Mitko thought as he punched her across the face. She fell back and held her jaw. He kicked her hard in the ribs, and she passed out.
Gigi woke up in a cold, dark room. She looked around, it was unfamiliar territory. She spotted Kai lying next to the wall opposite of her. She went to him and felt his pulse. She sighed I relief as she felt the faint beating. She gently tried to wake him up. "Kai." She said in a whisper. He stirred and his eyes opened slowly. He let out a groan as he leaned against the wall. There was a long, thin cut across his hairline that was still bleeding.
"It's nice to see that you have woken up." Said a voice from the shadows. Kai's ears perked up from the voice, it made him shudder as memories came back.
"Who are you?" Gigi asked as she stood up. The man revealed himself from the darkness.
"My name is Voltaire. But you can call me grandfather." He introduced with a grin.
"Why would I call you that?" She huffed.
"Oh? You mean Kai didn't tell you?" Voltaire shrugged innocently. The girl shook her head. "He's my grandson. And speaking of grandsons, I hear I'm a great-grandfather. Melody, was that her name?" Kai glared at Voltaire, hate and spite pouring from his eyes.
"What do you want?" He asked angrily.
"You of course, and Miss Thorson." His grandfather disappeared for a moment, then came back with two heavily armed men. "Take this girl to her cell." He ordered. They grabbed Gigi and forced her down the hall.
"Hey! Get your hands off of me, jerk!" She exclaimed as she scratched one of them.
"Feisty." Voltaire chuckled as he turned back to Kai. "Unfortunately, that won't help her out."
"Why did you bring us here?"
"I just wanted to teach you and your girlfriend a lesson."
"For what?"
"I'm still trying to think of that, but anyway, I just miss the good old days when I got to watch you suffer. But this time, you won't have to suffer, your little kitten however, she should be fun to watch."
"Leave Gigi out of this!" Kai snapped.
"My my! Are you saying the great Kai Hiwatari has feelings? We should fix that now, shouldn't we?" Voltaire replied as he leaned in closer to Kai. "Let me just cut to the chase. One of you is going to die, and the other can go free. It's your choice. And, until you do decide, you two will be the subject of my new torture program."
"You can't do this!" Kai growled as he lunged towards his grandfather, but was pulled back by chains around his hands and feet.
"I can and I have." Voltaire stated smoothly as he walked away. "Mitko, go ahead." He said as he nodded to the orange haired teen. Mitko smirked and entered Kai's cell.
"Guess what old buddy... I get the pleasure of torturing you today. Now, would you like the comfort of a visible wound, such as broken bones, blood, and gouges, or would you prefer the unseen wounds, such as the always famous internal bleeding." He offered in a sickly-sweet voice.
"How about..." Kai began as he swallowed hard. "I decide who dies right now?"
"I'm listening." Mitko replied as he folded his arms.
"Okay, then kill me, and let Gigi go." Kai stumbled through his words.
"I don't like that idea. Let's say, you both get tortured, and you both die?" Mitko approached him slowly. Kai kicked him in the groin, and Mitko faltered for a moment, then sprang back up and punched Kai in the stomach. Kai swung to punch him, but he was out of reach because of the chains held him back. Mitko slammed him into the wall, knocking Kai out. He continued to beat and kick him. After he felt he had done his job, he posted a large smile on his face and walked away.
Gigi looked around her cell, trembling. "Kai!" She yelled, but there was no answer. "Kai?" Still, nothing but echoes. She sat down in the corner of the room and the flood of tears was released. "Kai..." She whispered as she buried her face in her arms. She looked up as Voltaire entered her cell.
"You or Kai, you or Kai. Such a tough decision." He teased mockingly.
"Let Kai go." She muttered.
"But if I did that, I'd have to kill you."
"So what? I don't care. Go ahead, kill me. I just want Kai to be okay."
"How touching, that's what lover boy said too." Voltaire snickered as he paced back and forth. "But that would take out the fun, killing you now. So, I wanna show you something." He hit a switch on the hall way wall. The wall turned around, displaying Kai on the other side. His hands were tied above his head with the rope that was connected to a wooden pole. He was out cold, and his body was limp.
"Kai." She gasped. "Let him go!" She demanded.
"Why would I do that? I'd be left with nothing, no pleasure here." Voltaire shrugged.
"Please, just let him go. I... I'll take his place. Just please." She begged. "Don't hurt him anymore." Kai's grandfather snapped his fingers, and the rope went slack, letting Kai drop to the ground.
"I'll be back in a half-hour to finalize this. Until then, say your good-byes." He stiffly walked away, leaving the two in the dark cell.
"Kai." She said as she crawled looked him over. He was covered in blood, sweat, and bruises. She heard a noise and glanced up. She could hear the shuffling of feet and some voices.
"Are you sure this is the place?" One of the voices asked.
"It's the only abandoned warehouse on the block." Came another voice. There was a crash.
"Tyson! That was my foot."
"Sorry."
"You should be more careful, you could've damaged Dizzi." Said a small voice
"Are you guys coming?" Gigi was sure it was Ray's voice. A large door burst open and the famous Bladebreakers (excluding Kai no duh) entered. "Kai, Gigi!" Ray exclaimed. "I found them." The others ran up to the room. Kenny took something out of his pocket and opened the door to the cell.
"Hurry. Let's get them outta here before Voltaire finds out." Tyson said as he helped Gigi stand up. Ray and Max picked up Kai.
"I can walk on my own." Gigi hissed as they left. Once they were safely out of the building, they made their way to Ray's house. They set Kai down on the couch.
"Voltaire got him pretty good." Ray commented as he looked him over. 'Damn. Looks like he's got a concussion.' He thought.
"Then we gotta wake him up." Gigi replied as she appeared at his side. "Oh yeah. I didn't tell you guys I can hear your thoughts, did I?"
"No, you failed to mention that." Tyson muttered as he got a clean towel. Ray woke Kai up, and he sat up painfully.
"Ow..." He moaned. A wave of pain ripped through his abdomen, and he doubled over.
"What's wrong?" Max asked in a worried tone. Kai just groaned and ran to the bathroom.
"I hope he's okay." Kenny said as he turned to Gigi. "Do you think you have any broken bones?"
"No..." She replied. "It wasn't Voltaire, it was Mitko. He had Mitko beat Kai."
"Mitko? Mitko Saunders?" Ray asked. Gigi nodded. "I thought he was a friend of Mitko's."
"They were friends, and then he learned that he wasn't the father of Melody, Kai is."
"Kai's a father?" Tyson squeaked.
"Yeah, but he didn't know until this morning."
"But she's like, three years old."
"Kurina lied to Mitko." She stated. The others nodded. They heard the toilet flush, and looked over to the still closed door.
Kai sat down, back leaned against the bath tub. He was shaking violently and he couldn't stop vomiting blood. He felt another tremor come and let it come up. Washing himself off, he looked into the vanity mirror. Boy, he was a pitiful sight. He turned off the water with trembling hands and went back to the others.
"You okay there, bud?" Ray asked as he placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder.
"I think so." He mumbled as he sat on the couch.
"You look like shit." Tyson said as he watched the team leader shiver.
"Hmph." Kai tried to smile, but he couldn't as he began shivering like he was in an icebox. Ray held his hand on Kai's forehead.
"You have a fever." He said gloomily. "I'll go get some medicine." He disappeared, then returned a moment later. Kai took the medicine without objecting or saying 'medicine is for the weak', or anything like that... which told them he wasn't okay.
"Let's leave him alone for now." Max suggested. They all nodded and filed out of the room. Gigi took a last glance at Kai, who was drifting to sleep, and followed the others.
End Okay I'm super sorry that this chapter sucks, but I'm doing my best, not to mention I am really busy. I've managed to sneak in here and type some throughout the day. AND, I'm kinda depressed right now, so anyway, please review. The next chapter won't be as sucky as this one, I promise!
