Explosion
Aruna blearily opened her eyes, and instantly regretted it as a searing pain shot through her skull. She groaned and sat up, stepping out of Kai's bed. What the Hell had happened last night?
She looked around the room, next to Kai's tux was a very elaborate pure white dress....
She remembered now, and she smiled slightly at the memory. She had gotten married. It hadn't been what her dream wedding had always been, but it was good enough for her. It had been held in the SubRitz which had been closed for the occasion, the only people there had been Max, Tyson and Kenny, Ray was the best man, and Mariah, even though Aruna hardly knew her had been the brides maid. Kenny had spent most of the time holding Ray's squirming son Rhydan, who refused to keep still for more then three seconds.
Afterwards they had sat at the bar for hours, each of them drinking them selves into a stupor. She stood up, and suddenly a wave of nausea swept over her, her hand flew to her mouth and she rushed into the bathroom, throwing up into the toilet. This was becoming all too regular, wake up, throw up and get on with the day. She sighed; she knew it was just because she was still feeling queasy from last night.
She came back into the main room and put on the closest item of clothing, which was her wedding dress. Before she walked out of the door to go and get a hot drink, she stopped and looked back at the bed where her new husband slept.
No doubt he would have an equally unpleasant hangover when he finally woke up. He deserved his rest, her wedding night had lived up to her expectations with flying colors, the desire which enflamed her when ever Kai even looked at her never seemed to die.
Her husband. She looked at the sliver ring set with the tiny sapphire, it was so beautiful and it matched her eyes and hair wonderfully. She smiled again, but at the same time was overcome with an earth shattering sense of guilt. How could he have forgiven her like that after what she had done? She would never be able to forget the look in his eyes...
She sighed and walked out.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_
Aruna sipped her coffee which she sat at the bar, twirling a few strands of navy hair around her slender fingers. She jumped slightly as she felt a pair of strong arms encircle her waist. She knew it was him, she leant back into his heavily muscled chest and breathed in his scent. How she loved the touch of his flesh against hers, but at the same time hated it. Every time she felt him or looked at him, or heard him, the guilt pilled more heavily onto her heart till it was dragging it down forcefully.
"Morning Mrs.Hiwitari." He murmured quietly.
"Good morning Mr.Hiwitari." She replied.
Kai was silent for a second, just feeling her soft hair against his cheek, he didn't know what he would do if he lost her, now that he had found her, he was never going to let her go.
"I have to go out tonight to meet a client who wants to hire Ray for a job. Do you want to come?"
Aruna was quiet for a second, a new idea forming in her mind.
"Uhh, no. I don't think so, I'll stay here by myself."
"Don't worry, you won't be alone, Tyson and Max are going to be here." He said.
She felt her heart sink.
"Kenny?" She asked.
"He is going out tonight, it took a while, but at last he has begun to take an interest in women, as well as his computer." He told her.
"Oh well that's okay then. Is the SubRitz going to be open?" She asked.
"No, it won't be open, not while I am away." He said.
She nodded.
Perhaps if she could get Tyson and Max out for a while she could put hr plan into action.
"I'll go and get my things from my apartment today so I can move in properly." She said. Kai nodded finally everything was going to settle down and return to normal. Finally he had found the woman who he was going to spend the rest of his life with.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_ *_
The rest of that morning Aruna spent going backwards and forwards from her apartment to the SubRitz, with the help of Max and Tyson, carrying her belongings. Kai was busy moving his quarters back up to the top floor, he had no need to stay in the basement now that the threat of the Shadow had been eliminated.
Aruna put the last box down on the floor of her new bedroom with a sigh of relief, lugging this lot around the streets of Zone 2 wasn't the best and most pleasant way to spend your day.
"Just put those ones down over there boys." She said, to Max and Tyson, pointing to the corner. Once they had done that, they left hastily so she wouldn't get them to carry anything else around for her.
Aruna bent over the box and rummaged through it, searching. She didn't find what she was looking for in that one, so she moved onto the next. Finally , after about 20 minutes of searching she grinned in triumph and wrenched out a mess of blue, red and green wires.
She chuckled, her laugh was high and held a note of madness to it. This was it, the answer, the wonderful answer to all of her troubles. After tonight, she would never feel guilty again, she would end it all. Then she would be content knowing that she had paid what she owned for what she had done.
::No master ! Not now surely ! Please listen you don't know what you have to loose, you're...::
Aruna absently cut her bitbeast off from her mind. Her mind. She had no idea how messed up it had become, the only two prominent things that she could still make sense of was her churning guilt, and her undying love for Kai.
She was wearing her heavy coat, she tucked the bomb away underneath it. She took the elevator down to the bottom floor and walked into the club room and over the massive stage. She looked around, pleased to see no one was about. She climbed up onto the stage and looked at the floor. There was a dark red stain that had refused to wash out. Tala's blood. She shuddered at the mere memory of that man, and strolled into the wings and backstage.
She managed to find the trapdoor which led underneath the stage itself for productions where people sprung out of the ground. She smirked and slid through it.
She looked at the ceiling, which was the floor of the stage and took the bomb out, she skilfully attached it and set it. She would come back down here to activate it, but for now she would leave it.
Kai was just coming into the club room, he needed a drink, a martini, like he always had, and when he stopped he looked around as he saw her coming out of the wings.
He went over to her, she looked gorgeous. Her hair had been tied in a high pony tail to stop it getting in her way while she was moving her things, and wisps of it had come loose and framed her porcelain face. They stood just staring at each other for a moment, then, in unison fell into each other's arms and kissed deeply.
Aruna realised, that if she carried her plan out, then this could be the last chance she had with him. Her hands ran up his back and entangled themselves in his short hair. Kai trailed his fingers slowly down her spine and rested them on her lower back. He wanted her one last time before he went out that night. His room was on the top floor, the stage was here.
He couldn't wait long enough to get her all the way up there, so he made up his mind. His arms circled her waist, lifting her slightly. She instantly got the message and wrapped her legs around his hips.
Then, Kai was able to carry her up onto the stage and lower her gently to the floor, away from Tala's blood.
Kai allowed his freed hands to roam where they wanted, his mouth still burning against hers. He slid off her top and unhooked her bra, his eyes were closed, letting his fingers see for him.
Ray chose that moment to walk into the club room, his eyes fixed on the paper which had the job description printed on it. His head snapped up as he heard a moan. His face flushed, as he saw Kai and Aruna who was topless tangled in a very heated embrace on the stage. He spun on his heel, turning around and went out of the door. He closed it behind him, just as Kenny was approaching.
"Excuse me please Ray." He said, trying to reach the door. Ray didn't budge.
"Sorry Kenny, but I can't let you go in there." He said.
"Why the Hell not?!" He asked.
"Kai ....Oh GOD !!!" The two men heard Aruna's muffled cry through the door.
"Uhh, that's why." He said.
Kenny blushed, Kai would probably kill him if he had walked in then.
Aruna lay back as Kai left a hot path of kisses down her neck.
"So.." She breathed, "We're fucking on a stage ..... after all ." She managed to get out, biting her lip to hold in a groan.
"10 points for observation woman." Kai said, his voice thick with desire and lust.
"Don't patronize me Mr.....Oh God!" She groaned.
"Yes .... I suppose I am aren't I?" He said with a smirk, he could feel them both nearing their climax.
Aruna raised her hips to meet his, causing him to let out a groan of his own.
"Shut it Kai. I just hope... that I don't get splinters." She said.
He chuckled.
She arched her back as her powerful orgasm shafted through her, pushing Kai over the edge too.
They both collapsed together, Kai managed to summon the strength to roll off her, he lay on his front, his right arm draped across her bare chest. Watching her trying to regain her breath, so beautiful.
It wasn't long before she started shivering, the stage wasn't the warmest place. He pulled her into his chest, wrapping his arms around her waist, he loved to just hold her.
They could have stayed like that for hours, but Kai realised that he needed to go and get ready to meet his client. He sat up and got dressed, Aruna did the same. When they both had their clothes on, Kai kissed her once before he went off to find Ray. Aruna watched him go, she smiled, but that dragging sense of guilt was far heavier now, but the knowledge that it would soon end pleased her. She lay back, she could steel feel the warm patch where his body had been, she closed her eyes.
As Kai walled out of the door he heard Dranzer speak to him.
::Master, there is something you should know.::
*And what is that ?* He asked.
::Aruna, she is pregnant:: He said.
Kai stopped, his eyes widened in surprise.
*Are you sure ?*
::Yes master, I sensed them::
*Them ?!*
::Yes Master, a boy and a girl, twins. Congratulations to the father to be::
Kai smirked , a dull sense of pride swelling in his chest. He turned to go back and tell her before he stopped himself, he would tell her tomorrow, he had to get ready first.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_ *_*_*_*_*_
Kai and Ray sat across the table from their client. He wanted them to kill a man called David Deux , he had assassinated his son. Kai was surprised to see who it was when they arrived, he hadn't even known that Robert had a son, much less that he too was a gangster.
~~~~~
Aruna knew that now was the time to act, by now Kai had to have arrived at the place where he was meeting his client. She took out a pen and wrote swiftly on the paper, slipped it into an envelope and sealed it. She went to find Max and Tyson.
Tyson was at the buffet that would have been used tonight if the SubRitz was open, cramming everything he could reach into his mouth, Max was standing watching his friend, shaking his head in disbelief that he could eat so much and not explode. Aruna came up to them, she didn't waste any time.
She handed the letter to Max.
"I want you both to take this to Kai, it is important, make sure it reaches him. Hurry, both of you !" She snapped.
They nodded, she hadn't left any room for argument, Max took her letter and pulled Tyson away with him. Aruna waited until she heard the front doors close behind the two.
~~~~~~
"So Kai, you'll help me out ?" Asked Robert.
Kai looked at Ray, who shrugged and nodded.
"Alright then, we'll do it."
"Great !" Said Robert, "Now how much is this gonna cost me ?"
~~~~~~
Aruna looked at the bomb and pressed a tiny button on the side. 10 minutes.
~~~~~~
"Well, I think about.." kai stopped and looked up as the door of the bar they were in banged open, he snarled when he saw who it was. He stood up and grabbed Max by the collar.
"What the Hell are you doing here !?!?! You are supposed to be guarding the SubRitz, and my wife !" He spat.
"She sent us here and told us to give this to you Kai." Said Max.
Kai snatched the letter and tore it open. There was a nagging sense of dread in his heart.
His eyes travelled down the page and widened in horror. He dropped the letter, he pushed Max and Tyson out of his way and bolted out of the door. He had to reach her, she couldn't do this, not now.
Max and Tyson looked at each other before they ran after him. Ray picked up the sheet of paper and looked at the few words printed there:
I either complete a job,
Or I die Trying.
Kai ran as fast as he could through the streets, people turned and looked at him. It wasn't every day that you saw the great Kai so flustered and obviously terrified about something. Kai felt his breath catch in his throat. No ! He wouldn't let her, he would reach her before she pulled the trigger and killed both herself, and his children.
~~~~~~
Aruna stood in the stage, in her hands was clasped the silver ring, 30 seconds.
~~~~~~
Kai rounded the corner, and saw the SubRitz , prominent against the other buildings in its size, he ran forward.
~~~~~~
10 seconds.
::Master please..::
6 seconds.
::Your pregnant::
Aruna's eyes snapped open, she opened her mouth and gasped.
Pregnant ?!
~~~~~~
Kai put his foot onto the first step , bit didn't get any further, he was blown backwards by the sheer force of the explosion, he saw the glass of the windows of the ground floor smash and shards of glass rained down. Flames licked up the side of the building, and all around people screamed in surprise.
Kai couldn't move, he lay on the floor, propping himself up on his elbows, his eyes wide in horror as he watched the SubRitz's destruction. Another explosion and more shattering windows. He felt Tyson and Max's strong hands haul him to his feet.
Kai seemed to regain control of his body, Max and Tyson were holding him securely, but he still fought like a mad man to break free to run in and try to find her. She could still be alive, he could save her !
"No Kai !" Yelled Tyson.
"Fucking let go of me bastard !" Yelled Kai, his voice hoarse , his vision blurry. He didn't seem to notice that there were tears streaming down his face, he didn't care.
"Aruna !" He screamed . He screamed her name, wanting her to be there and tell him it wasn't true.
A third blast , the biggest one yet, the shockwave travelled all the way up the massive structure, each window shattering, in the distance fire engines could be heard steadily getting closer.
Kai fell to his knees, and hung his head, his hands on the ground. His body was racked his sobs, he didn't give a damn about his reputation. The onlookers saw the greatly respected and feared Kai fall to his knees, crying like a baby. They all thought it was because of the loss of his building. Kai didn't care what they thought.
Aruna. He had lost her, the only one. The only one he had ever wanted , ever...loved. She was gone. He sobbed again, and a great agony tore through his heart as he felt it shatter like a fragile piece of glass. He had never experienced such pain before, the pain of raw emotion, was this what love could do to you ? Never again ! Never again would he allow himself to become so weak as to let anyone close ! Never ! But it didn't matter anyway, he would never find anyone as worthy as Aruna to let close. His heart was in his mouth m the flames glinted off his tears .
"I love you..." He breathed.
Wild-Roze: Done ! Well, not the whole story, I have one more chapter
