took me SOO LONG to put out this chapter. Honestly, I was having a brain
fart. *Sigh* oh well. Its oka I guess. Anyway, here goes! Ooh special
thanks to Ry for helping me out with a certain part in this chapter!
Lita's POV:
He was just about to hit another button when the doorbell rang. "Shit." He said and went upstairs. I was so scared. I was breathing so hard that I started to sweat. I waited for the torture to start when I heard a feeble, "Lita?" from the door, which was definitely not Nephlite's voice. The mystery person came down the stairs, taking one step at a time, looking at the "ornaments" surrounding him. That person saw the light on over me, yelled, "Lita!" and sprinted over, dodging the instruments of torture as best as he could. He jerked to a halt a couple of paces away, and saw me. He was just out of the light, but I could hardly see him. Every step he took put him a little closer to me making out who it was.
I thought, "what if it was Diamond? I would be totally screwed, cause I'm here on this table, totally tied down and there is no one- and I mean no one- around. He could totally do anything he wanted!" but then I also thought, "Maybe its Ken..." The person finally reached the light. His body was half bathed in light, and my pulse was quickening. I noticed that his clothes were soaking wet. He took one more step, and everything but his head was lit. I squinted as hard as I could to see him, but to no avail. "One more step," I thought, "Just one more and I can see you." As if reading my thoughts, the person took one more step. A foolish grin crossed over his face, and I felt like crying all over again. "Oh Ken," I thought, as tears started to fill my eyes for happiness.
"I thought I would never see you alive again, or even in one piece," he said, cautiously. I tried to say the same to him, but my words got all jumbled and muffled in my mouth. He laughed at my vain attempt to talk. Walking briskly, he gently tore the tape off my mouth. I started to say thanks, but then he leaned over my face, a loving look in his eyes. I was speechless as he gently pressed his lips to mine in a soft kiss. My eyes lit up. My breath got stuck in my throat as my cheeks turned a light shade of pink. Our eyes were locked, and I could see the hunger and passion deep within his gorgeous eyes. Minutes went by when we were just traveling into each other's eyes, feeling their souls. My breath kept quickening until I almost couldn't breathe as his lips got closer and closer. Energy coursed through my body, almost breaking out of me. His lips finally touched mine. The energy finally broke out of my body, flowing into his kiss, as it deepened every second. My passion for him continued ever faster as I wrenched against the metal holding me down. His hands sneaked under my head, pulling me closer to him. Unfortunately, we had to break for air, as our lungs filled back up, Ken found the key to the metal locks and unlocked me. Every time his hand touched my skin, fireworks flew through my body. After ages of waiting, I was finally free. I swung my legs over the edge of the table, and stared into Ken's eyes.
"Thank you." I said, and left it at that. He nodded, and I stood up. A thought struck me. I thought, "He has had so many chances to take advantage of me, and he didn't. Hmm. It's nice to know that not ALL guys are pigs."
Ken looked me over and said, "That dress is really pretty Lita. Although I might want to rethink the choker." I blushed and shifted my feet in discomfort.
"Had he read my thoughts?!" I thought frantically to myself. He took my hand, and we headed towards the door. We started off at a slow walk, and then it turned into a sprint. "Mental note," I thought to myself, "running in a dress is a no go." We tore up the stairs, and I was starting to wonder why we were running when we abruptly stopped. Right ahead of us, was Nephlite. His lip was cut, and blood was trickling down it slowly. He also had the biggest bruise I have ever seen on the left side of his head. I whispered to Ken, "Did you do that?" He responded with a nod.
Nephlite said, sneering, "Congratulations, Ken, you found Lita. Now hand her back over like we promised." My eyes widened in shock.
"No..." I thought, "he just CAN'T be in the same league as Nephlite. No..."
However, I didn't have much to worry about when Ken responded with, "What promise? I told you I was going to take Lita from you." With that, Nephlite sneered, and lunged at Ken. Ken held up his fists, ready for the attack. I glared at Nephlite and stepped in front of Ken. With one swift motion, my balled-up fist made contact with Nephlite's stomach, knocking the wind out of him. I smiled as I watched him clutch his stomach, and hit the floor.
"Apparently his stomach is weaker than his thing," I thought. "Or maybe... he doesn't have one?" I snickered.
Ken asked me, "What are you laughing at?" I blushed, sweatdropped and shrugged. I turned towards Nephlite, who was now on all fours, panting like crazy.
I kicked him hard in the side and said, "That's right, you just stay down there, like the dog you are." With that, I turned towards the door to the outside, and walked. I could feel Ken's eyes boring into me. After I had reached the front door, I turned back and realized that he was still standing by Nephlite. I said, tapping my foot impatiently, "Aren't you coming?" Ken blinked and ran up to me.
"Um, wasn't that kinda... harsh?" Ken asked.
"Do you know what I've been through?" I snapped back. He winced, and I said, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have..."
But he interrupted me, saying, "No Lita, your right." He opened the door to the outside for me, and I walked out. It was almost magical. The rain had stopped, the clouds were gone, and it seemed as if everything was getting better.
I turned to Ken and asked, "How did you get free?"
He walked out the door, and onto the sidewalk, with his hands carelessly in his pockets. He stopped midway, and I walked up to him, and put my hand on his shoulder and turned him around. I looked up into his deep eyes, and saw tears forming. He said, very roughly, "I can't tell you." He closed his eyes and turned away, shaking my hand off him. Involuntarily, his shoulders began to shake, and I could hear small sniffles. I was shocked at this sudden display of emotion. My hand lifted in midair, as if to touch him, but I decided against it.
Instead, I asked, "Ken, you know you can tell me. You can tell me anything! I... I love you, Ken."
He turned back to me, eyes filled with tears and emotion, and said, "Lita... I love you too. It was so awful being there. And here I am, crying, when you obviously went through more than me. Please forgive me."
I said, my eyes full of understanding, "Ken, I have nothing that needs forgiveness from you. Please Ken, tell me what happened." With that, I grabbed his arm, and I stood on my tiptoes, and kissed him.
His eyes filled with happiness, and he said, "a- all right." With that, he began his story, as we walked away, arm in arm, from Nephlite's mansion.
Well, that's it! sorry again that it took so long to get it out. And that it was short... ^_^* Anyway, please tell me what you think! I have a fairly good idea as to what should happen next, but its kinda screwy. So please, drop your comments, and your suggestions! *flames are welcome!* Thanks to everyone that does drop a review! Oh, and some authors answer peoples questions here, but... I never get any!
