Yuki: Chapter 5, sorry about killing Yuri, I know a few of you are mad at me for it. This chapter title doesn't follow the same patterns as the others, I don't know if any of them after this will or not.

I do not own MP but I do own Kage, Yuri, Kyomi, Min-min (the cat) and the plot

Chapter Five: Tomorrow's another Night, unfortunately

Kage woke up in an unfamiliar room; she felt cold chains around her wrist and ankles that held her to the floor. She shivered waiting to see what would happen; what would Kyomi do with her now?

"Hello little pet," Kyomi appeared next to her. "It seems you still have a bit of hunter instinct still in you."

He pulled out a long stick that was flexible, Kage looked at it with fear, he was going to hit her with it and she knew it before it hit her back. She cringed at the sound of it hitting her back and he laughed. The stick was flexible enough that it did not slice her skin, but left welts of different colors on her back He continued to do that for a little while until he sensed someone in the social room. He threw down something for Kage, clothes, "These are for you my dear, change and come to the social room." He bent down and undid the chains and walked off.

Kage slowly sat up, wincing at every move she made, "Yuri" a few tears slide down her cheek, she picked up the clothes and changed.

"Hello," Kyomi stepped in gracefully to greet the visiting vampire.

"Hi," She smiled, "I just saw your house and I'm into old houses, not to mention would like a place to stay for a day or two."

He looked her up and down, "I suppose you could, come sit." He motioned to the couch.

"Thanks," she kept her smile though it had a hidden meaning to it.

"What is your name? I don't believe that I've seen you around Midnight's property before." He glanced at the door waiting for Kage to come in.

"Audra," she glanced at him to see if he recognized the name any, "I wasn't changed to long ago, that's why." She glanced at the door as it opened.

Kage walked in wearing her knew clothes, the sleeves came off her shoulders, and were a black sheer they hung in two parts, one that went across her arm and another part that hung down, giving the impression of wings. The shirt was a black halter top, and a half shirt showing off her stomach. The pants were baggy yet stylish like the ones you see the genies wear in the movies, they were also black, and hung on her hips. (A/N if you want a drawing of this let me know I should have one done soon, tell me in your review and give your e-mail address)

"She's beautiful," Audra looked Kage up and down as she bowed.

"Thank you, though she still has a few things to work on." He motioned for Kage to come to him, Kage turned her back to Audra showing off the new welts and the old welts. "Here Kage," He pulled out the cross that Yuri used to wear, "You pulled it off his dead body so why don't you wear it?" He tied it around the girl's neck, "And," he pulled out a chain collar and hooked it around her neck, it was a choker with a star tag on it. "Now go tell the bleeder to make Audra and me a drink, and bring them back."

Kage bowed slightly, her version of 'Yes Milord' She walked to the kitchen sighing knowing that there was only a small amount of time left until he would be able to get into her mind fully.

"Tell me, how did you breed such a pet?" Audra looked up, she knew the answer, but she needed to convince Kyomi she was just a dumb new fledgling to get what she wanted.

"I didn't breed her, she is first generation from Midnight, the original." He started talking about Kage's past, or at least what he knew of it.

Kage walked into the kitchen looking down, trying to keep her tears back.

"Ah Kage, what did you come in here for?" A girl looked up as the door shut.

She held her fingers up showing two, telling the girl that they needed two drinks. She nodded, "Alright, I take it that Master Kyomi has a guest?" Kage nodded, the girl left to go to the bleeders and get the blood for the drink.

"Here," she set them both on the counter, "Kage? Are you crying?" Kage turned from view wiping her eyes. "It's cause of Yuri huh?" She turned Kage around, and wiped a tear from her cheek, "It'll be fine, it was probably better, since he wasn't broken and all." Kage shrugged and walked off with the drinks.

Kyomi was still talking when Kage interrupted him by walking in, she handed Audra her drink and walked over to Kyomi to give him his. He placed the drink on the table and pulled Kage to his lap; she tensed as his hand brushed lightly acrossed her cheek.

"How did you get blood on your cheek?" Kyomi whispered in her ear causing her to tense a little more, when the girl wiped the tear away there must have been blood on her hand from the bleeders. Kage tried to turn and get off of Kyomi's knees when she felt his tongue slip over the blood, he held her there when the blood was cleared from her cheek he pushed her off of him. She fell to the floor shaking; He made a movement like he was going to kick her and she scooted over so she was close to Audra's feet.

"She's scared to death of you." Audra bent down to comfort Kage who curled into a little ball.

"She was just released from a punishment earlier she is still skittish from that." He shrugged not bothered by the fact that Audra was trying to calm Kage down. "She seems fond of you."

Audra ran a hand through Kage's hair, "it seems it. Why was she punished?"

"She was getting close to a slave of mine, I decided it was time to put him down, she fought against me, that's why." He sipped his blood drink.

Audra nodded, "How could this happen? I mean aren't pet suppose to be with their owners at all times?"

"I was working, Jeshickah, the vampire that runs Midnight, offered me job of breeder. I was simply gone when it happened, I caught them kissing right after sunset." He looked down at the shaking ball known as Kage. "Why don't you watch over her? Or are you going some where?"

Audra looked up slightly, she didn't think it would be this easy to get in, Kage looked up in almost disbelief. Audra looked down at Kage then back up again, "I can do that, I'm not off to anywhere too important."

"Good, I will fix up Yuri's old room for you, when I work you will be taking care of Kage, I will of course pay you for your services." He watched Audra attend to Kage, "Kage." Kage looked up acknowledging her master, "You are to obey Audra as another master, understand?" she nodded slightly.

Audra sat back on the couch gently pulling Kage with her, Kage leaned her head on Audra's lap glad someone was there that wasn't going to beat her.

"You can stay on the couch today, tomorrow I will have a slave clean out your room." He stood up, "Kage come," Kage slowly stood from her spot.

"Can she stay with me for today, just so I know what habits she has?" Audra was praying that Kyomi would let Kage stay.

"I suppose, since I wasn't going to let her sleep today anyways." He turned and left the room.

Kage let out a sigh of relief, "Did Jaguar send you?"

"No, I came on my own, all he said was that he was worried about you, and with good reason too." Audra sighed, "the boy Jaguar made a deal with, he was the one that Kyomi killed isn't he?"

"Yeah," Kage nodded slightly, "Yuri had been part of my hunting party, so we were already kind of close, it just got out of hand, so Master Kyomi killed him."

"Then it looks like I'm the one who gets to train you now, oh here." She handed Kage a new brace, "Where it at day, at least until I explain to Kyomi why you need it."

Kage put the brace on gratefully, "I want a blade, that's it, you don't need to train me." Kage looked up, there was an odd look of determination in her eyes.

"You aren't strong enough, you've weaken since you've been a pet." Audra looked at her.

Kage shook her head, "I'm a hunter Audra, besides, I'll piss him off so he feeds on me; I'll strike while he's feeding."

"If you're sure," she looked at Kage, she had the stubbornness to pull it off, and she was basically trained so perhaps she could pull it off.

"I am," she sat down on the couch, "I know the perfect way to piss him off too." She smirked; the years that she spent with vampires taught her something, how to be observant. Vampires think of humans, like humans think of dogs; that fact mixed with the fact that Kyomi liked to write could be put to use. "I'll destroy his books, he'll feed off of me, that is the first form of punishment, so as soon as he strikes, I strike."

"Very well planned," Audra smirked and sat down also.

Kage was awake all night talking with Audra, but as soon as Kyomi was coming down the stairs, Kage was back to subservient little girl again.

"I'm off," he disappeared going to work.

Kage ran to Yuri's room with Audra behind her, the slaves hadn't gotten to it to clean it so his knife was still hidden there. Kage picked it up hiding it in the thigh of her pants. Audra sat with Kage the whole day they did nothing but talk about this and that, Audra braided Kage's long hair to keep it out of the way.

Kyomi had returned before sunset and looked at Audra, "Where is my little pet?"

Audra shrugged, "She ran off a little while ago, I can't find her, and since I am not her true master nor have I been with her long enough I can't find her mind."

"You lost my pet?" Kyomi growled.

One of the slaves walked in, "With all respect me lord, I heard noises coming from your study, I think she might be in there." He disappeared and reappeared in his study Kage was sitting there in the mist of torn papers. He appeared next to Kage pulling her up, "What did you do this for? Hm? Was it separation anxiety? Do you really miss Yuri that much?" He pulled her head back exposing her throat, she waited to feel the piercing pain of his fangs. It finally came an she shivered with the pain, he was lost now in her blood, she pulled out her dagger and plunged it into his heart twisting it to destroy it. He dropped to the ground, and Kage let out a slight sigh of relief as she started walking out of the study.

Audra appeared near her, "Now what?"

"Now, there should be an auction, unfortunately ran by Jeshickah." Kage gave the knife to Audra.

"Great your favorite friend." Her voice was sarcastic, "Meaning someone will buy you at the auction?"

"Exactly, I think that was Jaguar's plan, to buy me at the auction." Kage leaned against the wall.

"But what if something goes wrong?" Audra looked at Kage.

"Well you both could be there, between the two of you, you should have enough money. But I think Jeshickah is going to try to prevent you two from buying me." Kage slide to the ground, "I think I just got myself into another world of trouble." Kage looked up, "Jeshickah is here, leave!" Before she knew it Audra was gone.

Kage stayed slouched against the wall waiting for Jeshickah to come down the hall, she must have felt Kyomi die.

"Ah little Kage, where is your master?" Jeshickah patted her on the head. Kage shrugged slightly, "What is it with you and loosing your masters?" Jeshickah walked into the study then back out, "Alright Kage who killed him? I know it couldn't have been you, you're too weak to kill him." Kage shrugged once more Jeshickah picked Kage up by her neck and started walking out, "Instead of an Auction, there is another dinner tomorrow night, will put you there to sell." Kage was thrown into the back of a Lamborghini and was once again on her way to Midnight.

Yuki: that was an odd place to stop sorry, RR please!
