Yuki: here is chapter 11 enjoy! R&R please. Note: the triste in the last chapter that Jaguar mentioned is no longer named Jason, but I am naming him Akari, just like Kage's brother.
I do not own MP but I do own, Kage and all of her family, Paris, Shadow, Meka and the plot.
Chapter Eleven: Dreams and schemes
Kage started to show the new pet around, "I'm Kage, what did Lady Paris say your name was?" She glanced at the boy.
"She didn't say what my name was, it's Shadow," He gave Kage a strange glance when she let out a small laugh, "What's so funny?"
"My name means shadow." She smiled slightly as she knocked on Meka's door.
"Oh hey, this must be the new pet." Meka motioned to Shadow, "I was wondering when you two were going to come." They walked in, Kage sat down on a chair while Meka groomed Shadow.
"Don't worry, Lady Paris isn't a bad mistress unless you make her mad." Meka washed Shadow's hair.
"Yeah that's what you told me and I spent two out of my first three nights here in a cage, and all I did was avoid a dart." Kage growled.
"You better watch it Kage, if Lady Paris hears you talk like that she'll beat you. Cages are just her means of getting a pet to get use to her temper." Meka handed Shadow some clothes.
"Great so I'm lucky," she rolled her eyes, "I have never seen any one like her, I mean out of the three masters I have had over the hundred years or so that I've been alive." She shrugged.
If Shadow was surprised he didn't show it, he simply got dressed like a good little pet.
"Your turn Kage," Meka motioned and Kage moved to her.
Shadow watched Meka but Kage noticed that he also watched her as if trying to learn what she was like.
When they were both done, they started towards Paris's room.
"Kage, what are those scratches on your face from?" Shadow walked beside her on the way to the room.
"A result of asking Paris a question," Kage shrugged slightly they didn't bother her, not at the moment anyways.
"I see, how long have you been her pet?" He slowed down slightly.
"About three nights," she sighed.
"What would you do if I told you Jaguar sent me?" He met her blue eyes with his amazingly green eyes.
"I don't know," she shrugged, "Are you?"
"Yes, he hired me to get you out of here, he seems to care about you." He shrugged slightly, "I would have found out about you sooner or later with out him. I find out about pets then free them some way; I also normally take them to rehabilitate them so that they are able to hunt or lead a normal life."
"Neither which is possible for me." Kage growled slightly.
"We'll talk about that later, just try to stay out of trouble and I will do the same." Shadow nodded to the door that lead to Paris's door, and lowered his voice, "No need for either of us to be beat."
Kage nodded and opened the door bowing when she got in, "Lady Paris."
"Kage, Shadow," Paris nodded to them and motioned to the bed by the window, "Shadow you can go head and rest, Kage come here."
They answered together, "Yes Milady." Shadow went to the bed and Kage walked over to Paris.
"Sit," Paris motioned to the bed she was sitting on.
"Yes Milady," Kage pulled herself up.
Paris started brushing her hair, "Tell me child, did you learn your lesson?"
Kage sighed, "Yes milady I did, though it was truly an accident." Kage felt a hard tug on her hair.
"I didn't ask if it was an accident, I asked if you learned your lesson." Paris hissed and continued brushing Kage's hair.
"Sorry Milady," Kage looked down thinking about what Shadow said about taking pets and rehabilitating them.
A few minutes later Paris let Kage off the bed, "Go rest with your new friend, and try to keep the whimpering down."
"I'll try Milady." Kage went to the bed, she was thankful that it was big enough for both her and Shadow, she crawled in and sighed, closing her eyes and awaiting a nightmare.
Kage felt a bed underneath her she slowly opened her eyes to see Yuri and Marissa standing above her, "Ugh, what happened?" Her voice was soft and pained.
"You had a very interesting assignment," Yuri laughed slightly, "You failed though, and you're wounded pretty bad," He sighed sitting on her bed.
"You went after Kile, remember?" Marissa continued to stand.
"Yeah I remember, who was the vampire that attacked me?" Kage slowly started to sit up, "Who brought me in last night?"
"The vampire that attacked you was unknown," Marissa nodded, "Glad to see you're alright." She walked out leaving Yuri and Kage.
"Last night? Kage you've been out for four nights, we almost lost you." Yuri sounded worried.
"I see," she closed her eyes trying to remember the night she had been attacked.
"Kile, I take it." Kage had the blonde vampire cornered in a room, the rest of his circet had left him there to deal with the hunter alone.
"Yes, I take it you are a hunter." He glared down as Kage pushed the dagger harder one move and she would destroy Kile's heart.
"No shit Sherlock," Kage laughed slightly, "I need information on a hunter that came after you before."
"You won't be getting it." Kile laughed until Kage's dagger cut his skin leaving a thin line of his blood.
"I won't? come now, do you treasure your life of the night?" Kage raised an eye brow at the vampire.
"No you won't be getting the information hunter." He smirked Kage realized there was someone behind her, but it was a moment too late, their dagger was in her shoulder.
Kage tuned around with her dagger slicing at the vampire that had dared to attack her during her hunt, but he was gone. A moment later she felt Kile's dagger entered her back and twist, luckly missing the vital organs, but she was using a lot of blood and fast. She attempted to stab him again but he simply pushed her to the ground and kicked her across the floor, her blood spread every where, her mind became clouded and then she blacked out.
Kage felt arms wrap around as phantom pains came back she whimpered in her sleep. The arms were comforting but brought some more bad memories into her dreams.
Jaguar's arms were wrapped around her body when she woke that evening, she had managed not to get herself beaten for a few months but her wrist was still screwed up. She slipped out of his arms and went to look out the window thinking to herself.
"Did I tell you that you could leave the bed?" Jaguar appeared behind her.
"Sorry Milord," her voice was soft, "I was having nightmares again, and couldn't sleep."
"I've told you nightmares are nothing but dreams, they shouldn't bug you that much." He played with the ends of Kage's hair.
"Yet they do, milord, I don't know why." She growled slightly, he didn't know what it was like, her growl became more noticeable and she was then thrown to the ground. "Sorry Milord," She closed her eyes and curled up on the floor like it would protect her.
"Oh? You're sorry that you growled? Or that you are a disobedient pet?" He bent down so that he was in her face now.
"That I growled, I don't mean to disobey you milord." She was silenced by a kick in her ribs, Jaguar was obviously in one of his dangerous moods that if she wasn't careful she would be killed. That day it seemed like everything Kage did was something wrong, which brought pain.
Kage whimpered again in her sleep, and Shadow watched her, feeling sorry for her. He sighed evening came too soon and Kage woke along with Paris.
"Morning my pets, a slave will bring your food up for you soon I have to talk to my brother for a little while. Behave while I'm gone" Paris disappeared.
Kage glanced at Shadow, "You're the triste that Jaguar was talking about the other night aren't you?"
He nodded, "You're smarter then some of these vampires give you credit for."
"What's the plan?" she looked hopeful.
"I find a way to get Paris to drink my blood, and she'll die, Jaguar is in her will, we checked it out before I came, all of Paris's pets go to him to be retrained and sold. Jaguar will make us free blood and then from there on you have a choice, to stay with him or come with me." He watched her, "Think about it, there is time."
Kage nodded slightly, "I don't know if it is possible for me to become a hunter again or lead a normal life."
Shadow started to answer but Paris appeared in the room, "It's all set my pets, I'm off to New Mayhem, so behave for Kile please."
"Yes Milady." They answered in unison and Paris disappeared only to be replaced by Kile.
I do not own MP but I do own, Kage and all of her family, Paris, Shadow, Meka and the plot.
