A/N:: Hello again! Finally decided to update, and with the help of the authoress, Blackie and Goldie ^^ I hope everyone enjoys this so far, since it's now time for the plot to thicken greatly, cause it seems Kai's nightmares are coming true, and we know those were scary ::shivers:: Anyways, like it as it is
"Through eyes of Scarlet and Gold"
The door to the apartment finally opened, showing the two completely soaked boys, as they quickly made their way over to the bathroom and bedroom to change into their bed clothes. While in the bedroom, Kyu had a big cheshire smile plastered on his face, as he slipped a flame decorated tank top and identical pants on, remember that night's events. The slate haired boy had told him straight to his face that he loved him, and he did too. After he changed, he had his fingers on his lips, remembering the kiss that they had shared. It was a memory that he was going to hang onto for a while. With that out of his system, he decided to go over by the bathroom to wait for Kai to come out so he could get all the water out of his dripping wet silver locks. He stood by the door, tapping the doorway.
The scarlet eyed boy stepped out of the bathroom, still not wearing his shirt, only to find the two golden orbs looking up at him brightly and more innocently that before. He blinked, a light flush appearing on his cheeks. He gave a small smirk, and ruffled the half neko's hair, and left, allowing him to use the bathroom for whatever. The silver haired boy gave a small smile, and headed into the bathroom to dry the water out of his hair. The slate haired boy watched his new koi used one of the towels to wipe his hair off with, and wipe his face after getting some of the sapphire colored liquid into his eyes. He chuckled, that's what they get for standing in the rain for as long as they had. He gave a light hearted grin, knowing that if they didn't, he wouldn't have confessed to the half neko.
The golden eyed boy made his way out of the bathroom, and headed into the laundry room, and dropped off the towels in the basket, letting a soft sigh escape his lips, before he made his way to the bedroom, shutting the door on his way in. He looked over at the bed to find that the Russian had already fallen asleep, since the two of them had woken up in the middle of night because Kai's dream. What's more intersting, they were so tired, they didn't even bother to change into their sleep clothes before they did. Kyu lifted the loose strap from his arm, and put it back on his shoulder, and began to climb into the bed, ready to get some rest for the rest of the night.
While the two boys were asleep, the breeze coming from the window began to flow into the dark bedroom, as a small form was sitting on the window sill. It's bright emerald eyes seemed to be concentrating on the two boys lying in bed, as it made a pounce into the room, hitting the floor with a light thud, too light for any normal human to hear. Since a certain neko-jin wasn't normal, his ebony kitten ears twitched violently, causing his golden orbs to open up all the way, seeing the small figure on all fours on the floor of the bedroom. Before Kyu could get a look at it, the small creature made a break for it, heading for the living room. The half neko lifted himself from his bed of velvet sheets, and ran after it, going at the same speed as the small kitten. It seemed the chase could go on forever, until the silver haired boy reaced out, and gripped his hand around the creature's black tail.
The figure, now recognized as a cat, gave off a glare, and hissed angrily at Kyu, as a warning to let go of it's ruby red tail. Since the noises it was making was threatening to wake the half neko's koi from his sleep, he released the small kitten from his grip. The small cat closed it's emerald eyes, and a small jewel began to glow on it's forehead. In a matter of minutes, it transformed into a neko-jin, kinda like Kyu, except a bit different. It's hair was a bright ruby, with the same green eyes flashing brightly as it stared into the golden orbs of Kyu. This neko-jin wore a black tank top with two stripes going across the chest with a identical armband and pants, with black slip on shoes. (You can see I gave Kyrie a dark look in this fic. He's wearing my clothes now -_-) He rubbed his black tail, as it's furred ears twitched.
"Next time when you think about pulling the tiger by the tail, ask?"
A couple soft blinks came from the silver haired boy, "Umm...alright...who are you exactly? What are you doing here?"
The red haired neko-jin pointed to himself, "Name's Kyrie...wait, don't you remember me, Kyu? I met you before you had that experimental change."
The silver haired boy continued to stare into the deep pools of emerald, trying to get a hint of recognization from him. Kyrie could see the confusion building in the golden orbs in front of him, as he was absorbing every detail of the red haired neko-jin that he could. After a while, the younger boy let his eyes close in defeat, making the older neko-jin look at him, his fur tipped ears twitching at the look of confusion and shame on the boy's scarred face.
"...No...I don't..."
A soft sigh escaped Kyrie's face, "Don't worry about it..." Then his green eyes got serious, "But this isn't a cheery get-together visit for me, Kyu."
Kyu looked up, his eyes quickly opening, "...What are you talking about?"
"Your in danger that's what! You got Volitare chasing up to find your tail. He wants me and you dead..."
Kyu's golden eyes widened with shock, "Volitare? Kai's grandfather?! ...What does he want with me...?"
The red haired neko-jin folded his arms, "Mainly because he wants to test something out...with his new clone."
"....Clone?"
Yeah, his name is Dark, and he's not my cup of tea, trust me, where do you think I got this?" The emerald eyed boy tugged down the collar of his own shirt, showing a scratch mark on his neckline that seemed very fresh and close to bleeding.
The golden orbs widened in shock, Kyrie was telling the truth. "Oh my god..."
Kyrie folded his arms, looking into the younger boy's eyes, "This guy means business, Kyu, if I were you, I would get yourself out of here now, before Volitare amd Dark find you."
The golden eyes softened, since he didn't want to leave his slate haired koi. "But...what about Kai? ...I can't just leave him..."
"...You better think about it, Kyu...I don't know about Kai, but with his attitude, he's not going to budge, he's going to stand his ground and fight, but I think it's best that you get out of here before it's too late."
The silver haired neko-jin looked at the ground, as his mind started to completely absorb the words that this red haired neko was telling him. He knew he had to get out of there before this clone and Kai's grandfather came to get him, but he didn't want to leave without telling his koi that he was, or he would go looking for him. After a very long silence, he looked back up to see the bright emerald eyes still looking at him.
"...Okay...I'll go talk to him..."
The older neko-jin gave a nod, "But I'm warning you, the guy doesn't show any mercy, you have to think hard." He stood up from the ground, and made his way to the door, "Just make the right choice and get out of here."
With that being said, the black clad neko made his way out of the apartment, leaving the younger boy to himself and his thoughts. He gave a small sigh, as his eyes were as soft as gold silk, since he had to wake the slate haired boy from his sleep, so he could let him know he was leaving. He lifted himself off of the floor, and slowly began to approach his room, and opened the door, looking at the velvet blanketed bed with a head of two tone hair lying in a bliss of sleep. He frowned, then made his way over to the sleeping Russian. He looked so peaceful and sweet in his sleep, as if he was the most innocent creature on the planet. He knew it wasn;t going to last, as he began to shake the older boy's shoulder, in a attempt to wake him from his sleep.
"Kai...wake up..."
A soft groan flowed out of the scarlet eyed boy's mouth, as one of his eyes began to open, and he glanced over at the boy. "Hm? What's the matter, Kyu-koi?"
The neko-jin began to fidgit with the sleeve of his shirt, "...Umm...Kai...I might have to leave..."
In seconds, Kai was instantly awake, the covers thrown off his body, and looking at Kyu in shock, "Huh? Why?!"
In surprise to the older boy's reaction, the young boy retreated a few steps, "....Someone named Kyrie said...that Volitare and a clone he's created is after me...and they want me dead...and he said I need to get out of here before he finds me..."
A frown instantly appeared on the slate haired boy's face, "Volitare? Clone?!" He lifted his legs off the bed to be able to get a better look of the silver haired boy, "Who's this Kyrie that you're talking about? Can you even trust him?"
The golden eyed boy didn't know if he could give the scarlet eyed boy an answer he could understand. His black tail was limp and his black ears had been buried under his mess of hair. His eyes were softer than before, as he tried to get the words out of his mouth.
"...I don't remember much about him...but he was my friend...before I...became like this..."
The young boy's cat ears unfolded themselves from under his hair, as he head was bent down, looking at the baby blue carpet under his feet. The Russian frowned, not really seeing that as the answer he wanted, and lifted the boy's sad striken face to look at his.
"So how do we know he's telling the truth or not?"
The younger boy's voice was caught in his throat, but after a minute, he finally let it out. "I...it's...I just know he is...I don't know how else to say it..."
The slate haired boy saw the tension on his koneko's face as he tried to give the best answer that would come out of his mouth. From the intense softness in the boy's eyes, it seemed like any moment, he was going to break down into tears, and cry on the floor. His scarlet eyes softened from the look he had when he heard the silver haired boy was leaving, and brought his hands up, and laid them on his shoulders, causing them to shudder suddenly. Seeing that happen, the Russian quickly wrapped the young boy into a strong and warm embrace.
"I don't know about you, but we're going to get you out of here, I'm not going to let Volitare take you." He tightened his grip at the mention of his grandfather, "No, over my dead body he will not take you."
The half neko gave a very small smile, as he lightly wrapped his arms around his koi, "...Thank you, Kai."
Kai allowed his fingers to run through the silver locks. "Only for you, Kyu."
After a few minutes, the neko looked up at the boy that was still hugging him tightly, "...Umm...should we get going?"
The slate haired boy blinked, then gave a small sigh, "Yeah, we better get going..." He hesitated, but reluctantly let go of the neko.
The neko-jin looked at the scarlet boy, before he made his way over to the dresser, and began to gather a few things from it. It was pretty much the only things that he could call his own. His headband with a pawprint on it, which he began to tie around his forehead, and a gold chain with a pawprint charm dangling around it, lightly sparkling from the light of the rising sun. He brought his around his neck, and looked over at the slate haired boy, showing he was ready to get out of there. A wave of shock ran through them, as they heard someone slam into the door of their room.
"Oh shit..." Kyu muttered.
The scarlet eyed boy stood in front of the neko-jin and the door, "Stay behind me, Kyu."
With that being said, the younger boy stayed behind Kai, as the door finally lost it's hidges, and was kicked off, showing two figures standing there. One was taller, and most likely brought out to be Volitare, and then there was one that seemed the same size as Kyu, but slightly older, his dark gray hair covering his face, and his dark red eyes flashing in smugness. Kai's grandfather folded his arms, as he looked at the slate haired boy.
"It's been so long, it's nice to see you again, Kai."
The clone neko-jin smirked, eyeing the golden eyed boy that was behind the Russian, "And I guess it's nice meeting you both, especially Kyu, now, make this easy for the both of us and hand the neko over or I'll have to do this the hard way."
A growl filled the older boy's throat, as he took a step forward, "Not a chance!"
The old Russian looked over at the clone, "You may have your fun, Dark."
A smirk appeared on the dark haired boy, "Oh goody," He bared his fangs and claws retract, "Now I guess this will be fun to see a human struggle."
In seconds, Dark had the slate haired teen tackled into the wall. The scarlet eyed boy let out a grunt, trying to fight him off as much as he could, but one of his arms were pinned to the ground. The silver haired boy's eyes widen, as he saw his clone start to raise his hands, ready to run his sharp claws through Kai's chest. Seeing the attack coming forward, the silver haired boy ran forward, taking the clone's clawed hands into his own, feeling the claws graze the skin on his hand, a bit of blood dripping onto the baby blue carpet below their feet. The dark red eyed boy glared into the golden orbs, as he kept the Russian by the wall.
"I'll deal with you later." He growled, as he lifted his foot, and kicked Kyu in the waist, knocking him to the ground.
Seeing the look alike hurt his koi, he threw his free fist forward, hitting him away, and made his way over to the neko, "Kyu, are you alright?!"
"It...stings..." The young cat rubbed his waist in pain.
Dark laughed in disgust, "Aww, such a touching moment, so touching it makes me vomit."
Kai glared at the created neko, "I'll make you vomit, alright, right after I beat you for hurting Kyu!" He charged forward, tackling Dark into the wall behind them.
From the door, Volitare watched the fight between his clone and his grandson take place. His eyebrow slightly twitched with annoyance, as it seemed to be tackling longer to defeat him that he thought it would. The silver haired neko was trying to get the blood to stop dripping onto the carpet below.
"Come on, Dark, I know you can fight better than that."
The dark silver haired boy smirked as he looked at the older Russian, "I'm just getting warmed up."
With a swift kick, he threw his foot into Kai's head, causing him to nearly topple over, managing to keep his balance on the wall, but his legs fell to the ground, as he fell onto his face, slowly losing consiousness. The silver haired neko-jin felt his eyes lose all their life as he saw the slate haired boy fall to the ground, seeing a bit of blood dripping from his mouth.
"Kai!!" He raced forward, kneeling down by the scarlet eyed boy, laying his hands on his shoulders, "Kai..."
The Russian faintly heard the voice of the neko, and lifted his head, "I'm sorry, Kyu...I tried...."
The clone hissed, and walked over, gripping the younger boy by the arm. "I have to break this up."
With a growl, he reached into his pocket, and pulled out a pocket knife, causing the blade to fly out of the holder, and moved it forward, making it come right near his neck. The blade slightly gleamed, and a red line began to appear on the slate haired boy's neck, as it slowly began to cut the skin.
"NO!!!" He pushed the created neko-jin's arm, and pulled the knife away from his koi's neck, trying to pull away from the older boy in desperation, "Leave him alone!!"
"Pipe down, you," Dark grunted, as he pulled a cholorphm rag out of his pocket and pressed it against the neko-jin's nose and mouth.
The soft golden eyes of the neko-jin widened greatly, as the smell of the chemical began to fill his sense, making the world around him go into a mess of color. The last thing he could see was the slate haired boy lying on the ground, pretty much unconsious from the blow he got from Dark. He silently prayed that his koi wouldn't be killed after he lost his sense, as the knife in his hands fell out of his claws, and he fell limp in the clone's arms, eyes rolling into the back of his head. The dark gray haired boy gave out a sigh, as he dropped the unconsious neko to the ground, and made his way back to the Russian, gripping the knife, and pressing it by Kai's neck.
"Now, where was I?"
"Dark, that's enough." Volitare ordered.
In disbelief, the clone looked back at the older Russian, an eyebrow raised. "But why? We can't just leave him here, what if he survives?"
The gray eyed man sighed, folding his arms, "We're here for Kyu, besides if he does, and he comes after the boy, I won't care if you kill him."
A devilish smirk appeared on the neko's face, "When you put it 'that' way, how can I refuse?"
He quickly put the knife back in his pocket, leaving a small line of drying blood on the slate haired boy's neck, as he walked over, and threw the unconsious half neko onto his shoulder. Soft whimpers floated out of the koneko, but he was still again after that.
"Let's go, Dark." Volitare ordered, him and his clone leaving the house, and Kai alone.
******************************************************************************
Kyrie sauntered towards Kai and Kyu's residence in his kitten form. He made a pause when he smelled something that just wasn't right. He walked to the door and saw that it was ajar. He pushed the door with his small pink nose as it then collapsed to the hardwood floor. Kyrie's eyes widened and jumped back in surprise. His ruby gem glowed and he transformed into his human form, his ears flattened on his ruby hair as he stood up on his two feet like a normal boy should. The neko-jin walked in, frowning at the wrecked room that surrounded him. He recognized the stench of Voltaire's cologne and the scent of Dark.
"Shit, looks like Voltaire and Dark made a cheery visit here." Kyrie muttered in his tenor accent and then entered the bedroom, his eyes laid upon a pale hand that was lying on the floor from which the rest of the body was hidden, "For the love of Jesus!!" He bounded over to get a better view, catching sight of the two-toned colored hair, "Kai! Kai!! Kai, Wake up Please!!"
Kai's hand twitched slightly, he allowed his eyes to open, then he crimson-eyed boy wiped the blood that suppressed from his mouth.
"What?"
Kyrie sighed in relief that Kai was still alive, "Kai, are you alright mate? What happened here!?"
The slate-haired boy looked at Kyrie momentarily before horror struck home as he then looked around the room in a panic, "Damnit, they got Kyu."
Kyrie stared at the Russian in shock, "No, they didn't....p-please don't tell me they have him, please."
Kai looked down, wishing he was disagreeing to his theory that was 100% true, "I tried to stop them....I'm sorry."
Kyrie felt anger towards the kidnappers as his paw curled into a fist, then he punched the hardwood floor in anger.
"Shit ....we have to find them, Kai, you and I both know where they are....we both have to work together to find Kyu and make sure he's safe."
Kai stood up, his eyes were narrow as deep within his mind he thought, 'I might have broken my promise that they wouldn't get you, Kyu-koi, but I'm getting you back...I promise' The Russian looked at Kyrie, "You ready?"
Kyrie smirked and nodded, "Always have been, let's go."
They both ran out, their determination was high, and their sights will be looking high and low for the missing neko as their worries grew within their minds.
***********************************************************************
A soft mumble began to make it's way out of the golden eyed boy's mouth, as his body slightly stirred, and he lifted his head to look at his surroundings. He saw that he was in a dark and damp cell. He looked around frantically, but he couldn't see the slate haired boy anywhere. He began to get up, but his feet tripped over the chain that was connected to his leg, and he fell over, landing with a painful ow.
A laugh raised from the throat of the clone, "Rise and shine, I can see you took some time to wake up."
His golden eyes widened, as he began to back away as far as he could from Dark, "Leave me alone...."
The dark gray haired boy raised an eyebrow, "Why should I? You got no purpose anymore, besides, don't be hoping for you boyfriend to come and save you because you're never seeing him again."
A hiss began to float out of the neko's throat. "You liar!! I have a purpose!! And it doesn't matter what you do, Kai's gonna come, and he'll beat you back to what you were before!!"
A slight frown appeared on the clone's face, but he quickly regained his composure, "I maybe no saint, but I'm always true to my word, and doubt your prince charming's going to save you because he's already six feet under."
The silver haired boy, glared dangerously at the other boy. He couldn't really do much of anything, since his legs and his hands were in chains, and he really couldn't do much of anything else. He wanted to believe that the clone was lying to him, but even he didn't know what happened after he passed into darkness, and that made him more angry, as his fangs bared, causing the look alike to look at him with a glare.
"Don't look at me like that, it will hurt you ten times worse."
"..." His fangs went back into his mouth, and he forced himself to face the wall, so he wouldn't have to look at the dark red eyed boy anymore.
"That's better."
Kyu turned to the wall as though it was his only comfort from Dark's gaze. He took a swallow of his pride, trying not to show weakness in front of his double. He closed his eyes, concentrating his mind on his koi, before whispering his name in the depths of his mind.
......Kai-koi...?
Meanwhile, Kai stopped running suddenly, causing Kyrie to advance a couple steps before noticing that Kai stopped. Kai looked around, not seeing Kyu anywhere, so he yelled within his mind.
Kyu! Kyu is that you?! Are you alright!?
While Kai was speaking within his mind, Kyrie looked at the Russian with confusion, "Kai, why did you stop?"
Kyu paused momentarily, soaking in the words of his koi as though it was pieces of a lost puzzle within his heart.
Mmm...I'm fine...I'm glad you're okay.
Kai shook his head, 'How could he think about me when his life was on the line?!' Kyu, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for any of this to happen, if I could turn back the clock now you would be safe from harm and out of that bastard's grasp. It's all my fault, will you ever forgive me?
Kyrie stared at Kai for a moment and shook the slate-haired boy's shoulder, "Kai?!"
Kyu smiled inwardly of his koi's concern, he knew better not to sink into Dark's tricks. Dark was only lying through his teeth, Of course I forgive you, Kai....please don't beat yourself up about it.....where are you?
Me and Kyrie are at the port, we're almost there, Kyu and if that bastard lays one finger on you I'm going to make him wish he was never born!! Kai growled, clenching his hand and curling it into a tight fist.
Kyrie waved his black paw in front of Kai's crimson eyes, "Kai?!"
Dark was staring at Kyu with his body-here-mind-somewhere-else look, "Hey, are you listening to me you good for nothing git?!"When Dark didn't get a response, the clone glared at his other, "I'll teach you a thing or two about listening."
Kyu panicked, fear filled his mind as his body backed into the wall, trying to make himself as small as possible, Kai-koi, please hurry...something wrong is going to happen-
Kai's eyes widened, horror stuck his features, What?! What's going to happen!? Kyu?! What's happening?!
Dark grunted and kicked Kyu, "Hey, answer me!!"
Kyu collapsed to the ground, whimpering in pain as he clutched his sore stomach as he slid his back upon the stone wall, Kai-koi.....hurry-
Kai felt a jolt that lurched to the pit of his stomach, it was almost like his connection to Kyu was broken. Kai froze, sweat was creating a ribbon down the side of his face.
Kyu!?! KYU!?! His panic grew as he yelled aloud, "KYU!?!"
Kyrie jumped at Kai's outburst, "Kai? Kai?! What's wrong, what's going on!?"
Kai fell to his knees, the emotion punches were too much for him, he stared at the pavement, "It's bad....it's horrible...something's happened to Kyu....and it's all my fault."
Kai shook his head violently, tears piercing through his eyes as he through his head back screaming at the top of his lungs, "KYU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
A/N:: And that's it. Sorry it took so long to update, I got a little lazy ^^; well, i made up for it with all my kai/kyu one shots, so I apologize with those. Now, enjoy ^^
"Through eyes of Scarlet and Gold"
The door to the apartment finally opened, showing the two completely soaked boys, as they quickly made their way over to the bathroom and bedroom to change into their bed clothes. While in the bedroom, Kyu had a big cheshire smile plastered on his face, as he slipped a flame decorated tank top and identical pants on, remember that night's events.

"Next time when you think about pulling the tiger by the tail, ask?"
A couple soft blinks came from the silver haired boy, "Umm...alright...who are you exactly? What are you doing here?"
The red haired neko-jin pointed to himself, "Name's Kyrie...wait, don't you remember me, Kyu? I met you before you had that experimental change."

Kyu looked up, his eyes quickly opening, "...What are you talking about?"
"Your in danger that's what! You got Volitare chasing up to find your tail. He wants me and you dead..."
Kyu's golden eyes widened with shock, "Volitare? Kai's grandfather?! ...What does he want with me...?"
The red haired neko-jin folded his arms, "Mainly because he wants to test something out...with his new clone."
"....Clone?"
Yeah, his name is Dark, and he's not my cup of tea, trust me, where do you think I got this?" The emerald eyed boy tugged down the collar of his own shirt, showing a scratch mark on his neckline that seemed very fresh and close to bleeding.
The golden orbs widened in shock, Kyrie was telling the truth. "Oh my god..."
Kyrie folded his arms, looking into the younger boy's eyes, "This guy means business, Kyu, if I were you, I would get yourself out of here now, before Volitare amd Dark find you."

He knew he had to get out of there before this clone and Kai's grandfather came to get him, but he didn't want to leave without telling his koi that he was, or he would go looking for him. After a very long silence, he looked back up to see the bright emerald eyes still looking at him.
"...Okay...I'll go talk to him..."
The older neko-jin gave a nod, "But I'm warning you, the guy doesn't show any mercy, you have to think hard." He stood up from the ground, and made his way to the door, "Just make the right choice and get out of here."

"Kai...wake up..."
A soft groan flowed out of the scarlet eyed boy's mouth, as one of his eyes began to open, and he glanced over at the boy. "Hm? What's the matter, Kyu-koi?"
The neko-jin began to fidgit with the sleeve of his shirt, "...Umm...Kai...I might have to leave..."
In seconds, Kai was instantly awake, the covers thrown off his body, and looking at Kyu in shock, "Huh? Why?!"
In surprise to the older boy's reaction, the young boy retreated a few steps, "....Someone named Kyrie said...that Volitare and a clone he's created is after me...and they want me dead...and he said I need to get out of here before he finds me..."
A frown instantly appeared on the slate haired boy's face, "Volitare? Clone?!" He lifted his legs off the bed to be able to get a better look of the silver haired boy, "Who's this Kyrie that you're talking about? Can you even trust him?"
The golden eyed boy didn't know if he could give the scarlet eyed boy an answer he could understand. His black tail was limp and his black ears had been buried under his mess of hair. His eyes were softer than before, as he tried to get the words out of his mouth.
"...I don't remember much about him...but he was my friend...before I...became like this..."
The young boy's cat ears unfolded themselves from under his hair, as he head was bent down, looking at the baby blue carpet under his feet. The Russian frowned, not really seeing that as the answer he wanted, and lifted the boy's sad striken face to look at his.
"So how do we know he's telling the truth or not?"
The younger boy's voice was caught in his throat, but after a minute, he finally let it out. "I...it's...I just know he is...I don't know how else to say it..."
The slate haired boy saw the tension on his koneko's face as he tried to give the best answer that would come out of his mouth. From the intense softness in the boy's eyes, it seemed like any moment, he was going to break down into tears, and cry on the floor. His scarlet eyes softened from the look he had when he heard the silver haired boy was leaving, and brought his hands up, and laid them on his shoulders, causing them to shudder suddenly. Seeing that happen, the Russian quickly wrapped the young boy into a strong and warm embrace.
"I don't know about you, but we're going to get you out of here, I'm not going to let Volitare take you." He tightened his grip at the mention of his grandfather, "No, over my dead body he will not take you."
The half neko gave a very small smile, as he lightly wrapped his arms around his koi, "...Thank you, Kai."
Kai allowed his fingers to run through the silver locks. "Only for you, Kyu."
After a few minutes, the neko looked up at the boy that was still hugging him tightly, "...Umm...should we get going?"
The slate haired boy blinked, then gave a small sigh, "Yeah, we better get going..." He hesitated, but reluctantly let go of the neko.
The neko-jin looked at the scarlet boy, before he made his way over to the dresser, and began to gather a few things from it. It was pretty much the only things that he could call his own. His headband with a pawprint on it, which he began to tie around his forehead, and a gold chain with a pawprint charm dangling around it, lightly sparkling from the light of the rising sun. He brought his around his neck, and looked over at the slate haired boy, showing he was ready to get out of there. A wave of shock ran through them, as they heard someone slam into the door of their room.
"Oh shit..." Kyu muttered.
The scarlet eyed boy stood in front of the neko-jin and the door, "Stay behind me, Kyu."
With that being said, the younger boy stayed behind Kai, as the door finally lost it's hidges, and was kicked off, showing two figures standing there. One was taller, and most likely brought out to be Volitare, and then there was one that seemed the same size as Kyu, but slightly older, his dark gray hair covering his face, and his dark red eyes flashing in smugness. Kai's grandfather folded his arms, as he looked at the slate haired boy.
"It's been so long, it's nice to see you again, Kai."
The clone neko-jin smirked, eyeing the golden eyed boy that was behind the Russian, "And I guess it's nice meeting you both, especially Kyu, now, make this easy for the both of us and hand the neko over or I'll have to do this the hard way."
A growl filled the older boy's throat, as he took a step forward, "Not a chance!"
The old Russian looked over at the clone, "You may have your fun, Dark."
A smirk appeared on the dark haired boy, "Oh goody," He bared his fangs and claws retract, "Now I guess this will be fun to see a human struggle."
In seconds, Dark had the slate haired teen tackled into the wall. The scarlet eyed boy let out a grunt, trying to fight him off as much as he could, but one of his arms were pinned to the ground. The silver haired boy's eyes widen, as he saw his clone start to raise his hands, ready to run his sharp claws through Kai's chest. Seeing the attack coming forward, the silver haired boy ran forward, taking the clone's clawed hands into his own, feeling the claws graze the skin on his hand, a bit of blood dripping onto the baby blue carpet below their feet. The dark red eyed boy glared into the golden orbs, as he kept the Russian by the wall.
"I'll deal with you later." He growled, as he lifted his foot, and kicked Kyu in the waist, knocking him to the ground.
Seeing the look alike hurt his koi, he threw his free fist forward, hitting him away, and made his way over to the neko, "Kyu, are you alright?!"
"It...stings..." The young cat rubbed his waist in pain.
Dark laughed in disgust, "Aww, such a touching moment, so touching it makes me vomit."
Kai glared at the created neko, "I'll make you vomit, alright, right after I beat you for hurting Kyu!" He charged forward, tackling Dark into the wall behind them.
From the door, Volitare watched the fight between his clone and his grandson take place. His eyebrow slightly twitched with annoyance, as it seemed to be tackling longer to defeat him that he thought it would. The silver haired neko was trying to get the blood to stop dripping onto the carpet below.
"Come on, Dark, I know you can fight better than that."
The dark silver haired boy smirked as he looked at the older Russian, "I'm just getting warmed up."
With a swift kick, he threw his foot into Kai's head, causing him to nearly topple over, managing to keep his balance on the wall, but his legs fell to the ground, as he fell onto his face, slowly losing consiousness. The silver haired neko-jin felt his eyes lose all their life as he saw the slate haired boy fall to the ground, seeing a bit of blood dripping from his mouth.
"Kai!!" He raced forward, kneeling down by the scarlet eyed boy, laying his hands on his shoulders, "Kai..."
The Russian faintly heard the voice of the neko, and lifted his head, "I'm sorry, Kyu...I tried...."
The clone hissed, and walked over, gripping the younger boy by the arm. "I have to break this up."
With a growl, he reached into his pocket, and pulled out a pocket knife, causing the blade to fly out of the holder, and moved it forward, making it come right near his neck. The blade slightly gleamed, and a red line began to appear on the slate haired boy's neck, as it slowly began to cut the skin.
"NO!!!" He pushed the created neko-jin's arm, and pulled the knife away from his koi's neck, trying to pull away from the older boy in desperation, "Leave him alone!!"
"Pipe down, you," Dark grunted, as he pulled a cholorphm rag out of his pocket and pressed it against the neko-jin's nose and mouth.
The soft golden eyes of the neko-jin widened greatly, as the smell of the chemical began to fill his sense, making the world around him go into a mess of color. The last thing he could see was the slate haired boy lying on the ground, pretty much unconsious from the blow he got from Dark. He silently prayed that his koi wouldn't be killed after he lost his sense, as the knife in his hands fell out of his claws, and he fell limp in the clone's arms, eyes rolling into the back of his head. The dark gray haired boy gave out a sigh, as he dropped the unconsious neko to the ground, and made his way back to the Russian, gripping the knife, and pressing it by Kai's neck.
"Now, where was I?"
"Dark, that's enough." Volitare ordered.
In disbelief, the clone looked back at the older Russian, an eyebrow raised. "But why? We can't just leave him here, what if he survives?"
The gray eyed man sighed, folding his arms, "We're here for Kyu, besides if he does, and he comes after the boy, I won't care if you kill him."
A devilish smirk appeared on the neko's face, "When you put it 'that' way, how can I refuse?"
He quickly put the knife back in his pocket, leaving a small line of drying blood on the slate haired boy's neck, as he walked over, and threw the unconsious half neko onto his shoulder. Soft whimpers floated out of the koneko, but he was still again after that.
"Let's go, Dark." Volitare ordered, him and his clone leaving the house, and Kai alone.
******************************************************************************
Kyrie sauntered towards Kai and Kyu's residence in his kitten form. He made a pause when he smelled something that just wasn't right. He walked to the door and saw that it was ajar. He pushed the door with his small pink nose as it then collapsed to the hardwood floor. Kyrie's eyes widened and jumped back in surprise. His ruby gem glowed and he transformed into his human form, his ears flattened on his ruby hair as he stood up on his two feet like a normal boy should. The neko-jin walked in, frowning at the wrecked room that surrounded him. He recognized the stench of Voltaire's cologne and the scent of Dark.
"Shit, looks like Voltaire and Dark made a cheery visit here." Kyrie muttered in his tenor accent and then entered the bedroom, his eyes laid upon a pale hand that was lying on the floor from which the rest of the body was hidden, "For the love of Jesus!!" He bounded over to get a better view, catching sight of the two-toned colored hair, "Kai! Kai!! Kai, Wake up Please!!"
Kai's hand twitched slightly, he allowed his eyes to open, then he crimson-eyed boy wiped the blood that suppressed from his mouth.
"What?"
Kyrie sighed in relief that Kai was still alive, "Kai, are you alright mate? What happened here!?"
The slate-haired boy looked at Kyrie momentarily before horror struck home as he then looked around the room in a panic, "Damnit, they got Kyu."
Kyrie stared at the Russian in shock, "No, they didn't....p-please don't tell me they have him, please."
Kai looked down, wishing he was disagreeing to his theory that was 100% true, "I tried to stop them....I'm sorry."
Kyrie felt anger towards the kidnappers as his paw curled into a fist, then he punched the hardwood floor in anger.
"Shit ....we have to find them, Kai, you and I both know where they are....we both have to work together to find Kyu and make sure he's safe."
Kai stood up, his eyes were narrow as deep within his mind he thought, 'I might have broken my promise that they wouldn't get you, Kyu-koi, but I'm getting you back...I promise' The Russian looked at Kyrie, "You ready?"
Kyrie smirked and nodded, "Always have been, let's go."
They both ran out, their determination was high, and their sights will be looking high and low for the missing neko as their worries grew within their minds.
***********************************************************************
A soft mumble began to make it's way out of the golden eyed boy's mouth, as his body slightly stirred, and he lifted his head to look at his surroundings. He saw that he was in a dark and damp cell. He looked around frantically, but he couldn't see the slate haired boy anywhere. He began to get up, but his feet tripped over the chain that was connected to his leg, and he fell over, landing with a painful ow.
A laugh raised from the throat of the clone, "Rise and shine, I can see you took some time to wake up."
His golden eyes widened, as he began to back away as far as he could from Dark, "Leave me alone...."
The dark gray haired boy raised an eyebrow, "Why should I? You got no purpose anymore, besides, don't be hoping for you boyfriend to come and save you because you're never seeing him again."
A hiss began to float out of the neko's throat. "You liar!! I have a purpose!! And it doesn't matter what you do, Kai's gonna come, and he'll beat you back to what you were before!!"
A slight frown appeared on the clone's face, but he quickly regained his composure, "I maybe no saint, but I'm always true to my word, and doubt your prince charming's going to save you because he's already six feet under."
The silver haired boy, glared dangerously at the other boy. He couldn't really do much of anything, since his legs and his hands were in chains, and he really couldn't do much of anything else. He wanted to believe that the clone was lying to him, but even he didn't know what happened after he passed into darkness, and that made him more angry, as his fangs bared, causing the look alike to look at him with a glare.
"Don't look at me like that, it will hurt you ten times worse."
"..." His fangs went back into his mouth, and he forced himself to face the wall, so he wouldn't have to look at the dark red eyed boy anymore.
"That's better."
Kyu turned to the wall as though it was his only comfort from Dark's gaze. He took a swallow of his pride, trying not to show weakness in front of his double. He closed his eyes, concentrating his mind on his koi, before whispering his name in the depths of his mind.
......Kai-koi...?
Meanwhile, Kai stopped running suddenly, causing Kyrie to advance a couple steps before noticing that Kai stopped. Kai looked around, not seeing Kyu anywhere, so he yelled within his mind.
Kyu! Kyu is that you?! Are you alright!?
While Kai was speaking within his mind, Kyrie looked at the Russian with confusion, "Kai, why did you stop?"
Kyu paused momentarily, soaking in the words of his koi as though it was pieces of a lost puzzle within his heart.
Mmm...I'm fine...I'm glad you're okay.
Kai shook his head, 'How could he think about me when his life was on the line?!' Kyu, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for any of this to happen, if I could turn back the clock now you would be safe from harm and out of that bastard's grasp. It's all my fault, will you ever forgive me?
Kyrie stared at Kai for a moment and shook the slate-haired boy's shoulder, "Kai?!"
Kyu smiled inwardly of his koi's concern, he knew better not to sink into Dark's tricks. Dark was only lying through his teeth, Of course I forgive you, Kai....please don't beat yourself up about it.....where are you?
Me and Kyrie are at the port, we're almost there, Kyu and if that bastard lays one finger on you I'm going to make him wish he was never born!! Kai growled, clenching his hand and curling it into a tight fist.
Kyrie waved his black paw in front of Kai's crimson eyes, "Kai?!"
Dark was staring at Kyu with his body-here-mind-somewhere-else look, "Hey, are you listening to me you good for nothing git?!"When Dark didn't get a response, the clone glared at his other, "I'll teach you a thing or two about listening."
Kyu panicked, fear filled his mind as his body backed into the wall, trying to make himself as small as possible, Kai-koi, please hurry...something wrong is going to happen-
Kai's eyes widened, horror stuck his features, What?! What's going to happen!? Kyu?! What's happening?!
Dark grunted and kicked Kyu, "Hey, answer me!!"
Kyu collapsed to the ground, whimpering in pain as he clutched his sore stomach as he slid his back upon the stone wall, Kai-koi.....hurry-
Kai felt a jolt that lurched to the pit of his stomach, it was almost like his connection to Kyu was broken. Kai froze, sweat was creating a ribbon down the side of his face.
Kyu!?! KYU!?! His panic grew as he yelled aloud, "KYU!?!"
Kyrie jumped at Kai's outburst, "Kai? Kai?! What's wrong, what's going on!?"
Kai fell to his knees, the emotion punches were too much for him, he stared at the pavement, "It's bad....it's horrible...something's happened to Kyu....and it's all my fault."
Kai shook his head violently, tears piercing through his eyes as he through his head back screaming at the top of his lungs, "KYU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
A/N:: And that's it. Sorry it took so long to update, I got a little lazy ^^; well, i made up for it with all my kai/kyu one shots, so I apologize with those. Now, enjoy ^^
