A/n: peeks around corner flustered Uh...yeah I know I promised I would get these chapters up sooner, but I've been babysitting and whole lot of other junk that is making my summer really bad...not to mention I went to Florida for a week...Hehe ;
Kai: Just get on with it
Ray: Yeah, hurry up we're getting impatient
DFG: Yeah, yeah
Disclaimer: twitch you know I don't so BACK OFF! Runs
Kai: 0.o what a weirdo
Ray: Be nice
Kai although confused with the whole situation about Darkfire and Azurefire being gone kept running trying to find Ray before anything happened.
Sashe stepped out of a dark corner and grabbed him pulling him closer to her face "Oh, Kai thank god I found you!" she said in a breathless way
Kai shoved her off "Go to hell Sashe" he said running again not looking back
Sashe perked her lips "Shame, we're past it" she said walking back into the corner
Kai ran past a cell and saw Ray lying on the floor.
Ray stood and ran to the bars of the cell "Kai! Over here"
Kai hearing the sound of Ray's voice slid over the hard stone and stumbled back to Ray's cell. "Thank god you're alive," he said pushing the keys into the lock and opened the door
Ray gave a taunting look and jumped Kai pressing his lips to Kai as though someone fed him catnip
Kai surprised by the sudden actions of Ray just held on and kissed back. Ray ran his hands through Kai's hair and wouldn't unlock his lips from Kai's.
Kai with one hand reached down...and shoved a dagger into Ray's stomach.
Ray's lips let go as he slid to the ground. "Wh...why?" he gasped looking up at his lover. Sweat glistened off of his bangs as his breath became heavy.
Kai walked to the other side of Ray and kicked him in the stomach
As if breathing wasn't hard enough. Ray scrunched into a small ball. "Kai, what the hell in wrong with you?" he gasped
Kai only smirked "Nice try Sashe" he said leaning up against the hard stone.
Ray shivered and scrunched into a smaller ball. The body of Sashe was now lying where the form of Ray once was. She looked up at Kai "How did you know?" she asked wincing as a wave of pain shot through her half dead body.
You're scent isn't the same as Ray's, yours is Citrus" he paused "Ray's is Summer Honey" he walked over to Sashe and removed the dagger "Not to mention Ray jumps more gracefully"
Sashe blinked "By the way...he sings beautifully" Sashe stared at Kai one last time before her eyes rolled to the back of her head gave a twitch...and died.
Kai stared t her body and looked away 'Damn' he thought 'I should have asked where she hid Ray' as he was about to walk out of the cell he heard a loud thump and a cry for help. Kai walked back over to Sashe's dead body and rolled it over. Underneath the sheets and blankets was a trap door. Kai ripped it open and looked down.
Looking up at him was the young Neko-jin squinting as the light flooded into the room. He gasped as he saw Kai and jumped into his arms with a graceful manner.
Kai smiled "Good to see you again" He put his lips up to his ear and gave a feather-light kiss and breathed in recognizing the scent immediately. "Let's go," he said putting Ray down and leading him out the door.
The couple ran into a huge room with an extremely high roof. Kai recognized it immediately as the thrown room. Sitting in the highest, grandest chair was a tall dark man from Ray's vision. He smiled and clapped. The echo of the clap rang throughout the entire room. "Glad to see you made it this far," He said
Walking into the room behind them was Medulla she strolled past them with ease and a sneer look. She walked up the steps and stood beside the king.
The king opened his mouth and began to speak "And when the guardians arrive we can begin" he said. He held out his hand as though on cue the two guardians burst though a stain glass window
Azurefire looked around "So much for a surprise attack" she mumbled
Darkfire elbowed her "Hush" she whispered harshly
"Good" said the king and flicked his hand thousands of the hooded men burst though all the doors and surrounding Kai and Ray and about twenty each grabbed Darkfire and Azurefire.
"I guess I can begin. The revaluation has begun, and I will lead it" he said
Medulla looked over at her husband "No dear" she said, "I will" she grabbed the back of his neck and he began to twitch violently, seconds later water began to pour out his mouth and nose. The king desperately tried breathe but failed as he fell limp and fell to the ground pale. Medulla stepped over her husband's dead body and sat in his thrown. She sat for a few moments and examined her long black nails. Finally she looked up and sneered
"I never thought it would be this easy dear sister," She said looking over at Darkfire
Darkfire spat "You are not sister" the hooded men held tighter "Ow you pinched me," she said whirling around "I know this question is over used and so cliché but...why?" she asked
"Revenge" she said simply "Besides" she said looking up innocently at Darkfire "How would you feel if Daddy killed one of your sons, if you ever plan to have any. Besides there isn't enough time to explain it all" she waved off the comment with a flick of her hand examining her nails again but looked up immediately "Oh yes I forgot" she said looking at Kai "Before your mother died she said to tell you she was sorry and she loves you very much and she can't wait to see again. I guess we can make arrangements for that" she flicked her hand and a heavy sword flew from her husbands dead body at Kai
Kai gave a heavy gasp of air and fell to his knees.
Ray gave a horrified look and dropped to his knees as well steadying Kai.
Azurefire's eyes shot open as she looked on in horror as she saw her charge near the verge of death. She tossed her head back and gave a blood- curtailing scream. Deep blue flames engulfed her body as she suddenly appeared as Kai's side. Being a second to late Kai slipped past the line of living and dead. Azurefire gave a whimper deep from inside her throat as flames once again engulfed her body. She leaned forward and pressed her lips against his gently and bit-by-bit she disappeared.
Ray looking on did not worry for he knew she was going to try and bring him back to life. This bit of magic was called 'Breath of a kiss' and if she was able to find his soul among the millions of other souls she could bring him back, if not...they were both gone.
Everyone stared on. The time was moving by slowly. Everyone was worried except for Medulla. Kai's body gave a sudden lurch...but nothing. That meant her time was up. They were both trapped.
Ray stared his heart quickened and his eyes glazed over. He heard nothing but the sounds of Kai's confused and unexpected gasp and Azurefire's scream. His heart started to beat faster and faster and his head was spinning it was as if someone had sped the world up at an extremely high velocity. He shot his head back as a pain came from both his head and heart. His eyes rolled to the back of his head and let out a window shattering scream
Darkfire's eyes glazed over in fear 'The evil part of his magic' she thought 'shit'
Black fiery wings shot from his back. His nails and teeth grew longer and sharper his gold orbs were replaced by black that covered the entire eye. Black tiger stripes shot across his arms and face. Fire burst from his body and his scream turned into an angry howl.
Darkfire looked on in horror as his power reached it's maximum. She thrust her arms from the scared men and ran at Ray in full force.
Ray had already attacked a few men and was ripping their bodies to shreds. He turned as he heard Darkfire running at him although he turned to late Darkfire slammed him into the wall
"Ray!" she said harshly into his ear "What the hell do you think your doing? You are supposed to use these powers for good not for extreme evil"
Ray was able to flip himself to where he had Darkfire against the wall instead. He spoke "Darkfire" he said but his voice was harsh and full of venom not the sweet always concerned voice. "Don't make me kill you as well" he said and let go. He ran at Medulla who now looked extremely scared.
The second Ray let go a loud battle cry rang out and guardians led my Max and Tyson burst through the windows and doors. And the sound of swords clashing made it impossible to hear anything.
Darkfire finally got her breath back and took after Ray being an inch faster caught him and slammed against the floor. Ray flipped himself on top but Darkfire rolled backwards straddling him and pinning him down "Ray listen to me" she said to where only they could hear "Is this the way you want to die? Is this the way you want Kai to see you? This form will kill you from the evil in your heart" she looked at him as tears swelled in her eyes "I lost someone too you know" she said wiping away the tears "I have been through a hell of a lot more: being outcast by my own people, being hated by my family, losing charges who treated me like a an actual person not an animal, and my sister look at her. She is the queen of hell and everyone in my tribe thought I would be that" she looked down at Ray and saw him calm although that wasn't enough to make him stop being evil. She lowered her head down to his ear ignoring all of the bloodshed around them.
Think of all the times we had
Knowing things weren't all that bad
We were together until the end
I will always be your friend
And that's when I learned I loved you
But I also knew I couldn't have you
You were so alone I wanted to help
But I knew your destiny would come
All the times you were cold
All the times you wanted to hold
A love
Was just a lonely cry for help
Days go by your still alone
Day by day waiting by the phone
You always cried into the night
I always wanted to make things right
And that's when I learned I love you
But I also knew I couldn't have you
You were so alone I wanted to help
But I knew your destiny would come
All the times you were cold
All the times you wanted to hold
A love
Was just a lonely cry for help
But I knew your destiny would come
Ray's eyes turned back to normal and his teeth and claws retracted and the stripes faded. Ray looked up at Darkfire with tears in his eyes "Sorry" he whispered
Ray: Another short chapter
DFG: Yeah I wanted to milk this for all it's worth
Kai: Figures...YOU KILLED ME?!
DFG: Hehe ; I have a feeling I'm going to get a lot of angry letters from some people but you have to wait I have twists. And not the regular cliché ones you expect.
Kai: growl right
Ray: Well time for another sleepless night
DFG: sigh yes...never watch "The Exorcists" shiver just watching the preview is going to prevent you from sleeping for a month and have you clinging to all of your Rosaries. Never shiver going shiver to be shiver the same shiver again twitch well see you later. Oh and I promise I will get the rest of the chapters up. Until we meet again.
Watching from a distance Darkfire looked at the young former Neko-jin prince and remembered his promise before he left the mortal world. 'Until we meet again' she whispered before she walked out the door. 'Until we meet again' she repeated
