Yuki: sorry for the delay in update but here it is. Life's been chaotic, thanks Gothic Chick 4 eva for the reveiw reminding me to update.

I do not own MP but I own all original chars that aren't in the book

"Milord" the two bowed as Kile appeared.

"Kage come here, your little friend can stay where he is." Kile pulled Kage to her feet and to him. She sent a glance down to Shadow as Kile ran his fingers through her hair. "I know something you don't know Kage," he smirked evilly, "You will soon be my pet, as soon as I get business settled with my circet, then Paris will give me ownership of you." He brushed his lips across her, she shoved away from him, "you dare resist your soon to be master?" He threw her to the ground.

She caught herself carefully, "Most masters don't kiss belittled pets." She wiped her lips on her arm.

"Then you haven't been owned by someone like me, I do what I like with my pets and if they don't behave they get beat." He kicked her across the floor. She curled into a little ball to protect herself.

"You might as well get used to beating me then, because I won't behave like that." She glanced at Shadow who looked like he was struggling with keeping himself under control.

Kile picked Kage up, "Really?" he wrapped a hand around her throat but didn't squeeze, "do you value your life?"

"No not really, I've been waiting to die for the past hundred years." She glared at him until he threw her into a wall she let out a slight scream as she slid to the ground.

Shadow stood, "Please milord, surely you can wait until she is yours, when Lady Paris gives you ownership." He stood between the two.

"Get out of my way pet." Kile stalked forward Kage tried to stand but a wave of black covered her vision.

"Please Milord," He was silenced when Kile back smacked him and started walking towards Kage.

Kage tried to clear her vision and slowly started to walk away from Kile. Kile stalked after as she continued to move make mumbling, "Please...please"

"I won't hurt you if you obey me Kage," He used his vampiric speed to reach her and wrap his arms around her almost painfully.

She tired to push away from him, "No, I won't obey you!" Her head was starting to pound.

Shadow approached slowly, "Milord, your hurting her." He needed to by time Paris had to be back some time, right?

"Oh? And what would you like me to do with her? Pet her and tell her she's being a good girl when she's not?" Kile tightened his arms on Kage.

Shadow took a deep breath, "She has done nothing wrong you are not her master, milord, Lady Paris is our mistress. If you want to beat up on Kage, you can at least wait until she truly belongs to you."

Kile looked at Shadow and threw Kage aside; she landed with a slight scream and black waves in her vision still. Shadow stared at Kile as he walked towards the boy.

"Are you telling me what to do?" Kile towered over Shadow now, Shadow looked up.

"I'm telling you to wait of pointless beatings Milord." He didn't step back, Kage started to sit up Shadow glanced at her, "Stay down Kage, you're hurt pretty bad already." Kile back handed Shadow. Shadow went flying towards the bed landing by it.

Kile laughed at the two, "I will cause all the pain I want, in fact," He walked towards Kage and picked her up, "Watch this," He threw Kage out the window in Paris's bedroom. She pulled her arms over face as she went through the glass, Shadow jumped up while Kile was occupied with throwing Kage out a window. He grabbed a dagger he had hidden under the mattress; he jumped on Kile's back stabbing the dagger in where the heart should be. Kile threw Shadow off and then used his mind to transport himself some where else.

Shadow ran to the window to see an unconscious Kage laying there, beaten and bloodied, "Hold on," he whispered as he sensed Paris arrive in the room.

"Pet," she growled. Shadow bowed

"Yes milady?"

"What has happened here," Paris was pale betraying that she had not yet feed.

"Lord Kile was scaring Kage with, how do I put it, sexual threats, so she fought against him and he threw her out the window along with into a few walls, Milady." Shadow leaned against the wall.

"I see and you? Why is Kile's blood all over your hand?" Her anger was starting to show.

"I attacked Lord Kile," Shadow looked down. "I was trying to protect Kage, forgive me Milady."

"Come here boy," she motioned for Shadow to come to her, "You're punishment is for you to bare your throat to me, if you refuse you will be punished in other ways."

Shadow nodded, "Yes milady," He walked over to her and tilted his head so that his throat was in easy reach. She bit down with out capturing his mind, Shadow tensed up but waited once his blood entered her stream she should die, for good." Paris pulled back screaming as his blood entered her system killing her. Shadow stepped back watching her, "I didn't know Milady, I didn't realize that my blood was poison."

Paris was lying dead on the floor Shadow walked out and around of the house to get Kage. He gently picked her up brushing a piece of hair out of her face, "You're safe now," he whispered into her ear as he took her back into the house to phone Jaguar.

He put Kage on the couch and picked up the phone, "Jaguar?" He waited for his replay, "Alright, Paris is dead, but Kage's in bad shape." He waited again, "Alright, see you then." He sat next to Kage on the couch watching her for any slight changes in her that could possibly be a bad thing.

Yuki: alright, that's it for now, I'll try to update again this week. R&R please
