A Bonding Moment
Kai paced around the room, trying to keep his frustration and anger down, but the odd furious growl still made its way past his lips. How dare someone touch what was his ! He would kill the bastard! It was clear to see her body had been violated, and from the bruises which left angry marks on her flesh, whoever it was had deliberately caused her as much pain as possible. Chase sat, silently staring at nothing, his mind vague, as if the truth that his mother had been raped had not yet settled in.
The two waited in silence, Chase wanted to say something, but couldn't, he didn't know Aruna like Kai did. He knew her as a mother, someone who had always been there for him, Kai knew her as a lover, quite a different kind of affection all together. Neither knew how the other felt, and so father and son were unable to offer the other any words that may provide some sort of comfort to each other. The single most important woman in both their lives lay, battered and exhausted on the bed.
Kai looked at Aruna. His anger flared yet again as the thought of another man forcing himself upon that which was his poisoned his mind with its images. She was pale, and her eyes were lightly closed, her breathing was shallow and her chest slowly rose and fell. For a moment Kai lost himself in her, though disfigured, she was still gorgeous. Her navy hair was sprawled out on the pillow beneath her head, contrasting sharply with the gentle cream colour of the sheets. He only noticed now but her hair was a lot longer now than it had been almost sixteen years ago, before it had brushed the tops of her shoulders, now it hung, in slightly curly waves to the bottom of her shoulder blades. He growled, he wanted to know who had done this to her, he was fighting against the urge to shake her into wakefulness and make her tell him so he could kill the bastard, but he held back, she needed to rest, is lust for blood would have to wait.
A frustrated sigh from his son caught his attention, he had forgotten that the boy was still here. He didn't know if Chase was feeling as uncomfortable as he was with the quiet, so he turned and confronted his almost-fifteen-year-old-son.
"Brat," He snapped, causing the navy eyes, so much like hers, to flicker to his face. "I want you to go and keep an eye on things in the club room for me." He said. Kai had almost shut down the SubRitz again, but he had done that only recently, and, as wealthy as he was, he didn't want to loose too much trade. So below them the loud music played, and his hookers earned him money and people danced, oblivious to the situation above them. Chase scowled, true he didn't like the heavy silence which had weighed on the pair till then, but he didn't want to leave his mother. He had only known his father for a grand total of two days, yes, he liked him, but he wasn't entirely sure that he trusted him yet. Kai seemed to sense his reluctance so he walked up to him and laid a hand on his shoulder.
"Brat, someone needs to keep an eye on the place, I would ask Ray but he is on bouncing duty tonight, I'll send Max down to you as soon as she wakes up." He said, Chase stood up, but still didn't move towards the door, merely cast a worried glance at his mother. Kai's expression softened a little, his son had been raised by Aruna, so now, when she was at her worst, it was only natural that he would want to stay by her side.
"Do this for me, Son." He said. Chase looked at Kai surprised, until now he had only called him 'Brat', or 'Kid'.
"Promise me she'll be alright ?" He asked with half a smirk. Kai returned it with practiced ease, and then did something that shocked them both. He pulled Chase into a quick, one-armed hug, before pushing him towards the door.
"I give you my word, now get out of here Brat!" He snarled.
Chase grinned to himself as he left, a true father-son bonding moment.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_
Chase winced, how could his father do this every night ? He sat at the bar, instead of occupying his father's table and sipped a glass of beer. Everyone who worked there had been informed about Chase and told not to charge him or ask him for ID, Chase had soon realised that several of Kai's men were standing quite close by, clearly his father had instructed them to be his body guards. He sighed, wondering how much longer it would be till Aruna woke up.
He glanced up as someone sat down on the barstool next to him, it was a girl, she must have been about his age, how did someone who was so clearly underage manage to get into the club ?!
She had long blondish brown hair which was pulled into a loose plait so strands of hair fell around her face and rich, gold coloured eyes.
"Hi," She said, Chase just looked at her, still wondering how she got in. she grinned at him when he didn't reply. "Can you talk? Or are ya a mute? Or maybe you've just been struck dumb by my beauty." She said with a coy smirk. Chase managed to regain his composure enough to return it.
"Heh, you wish." He said, though he did have to admit, she was pretty stunning, "So, who are you ?" He asked.
"The name's Christina, you can call me Chris though." She said. "Yours?"
"Chase." He replied, he was about to ask her how she got in, when she took him by surprise and asked him the exact same thing.
"So, have you got a fake ID or something? I hear Ray can tell the difference between a real one and a fake one no matter how good it is." She said.
"Uhh, no." He said, "I kinda live here, so I don't need to pay, my dad is Kai." He said, her mouth fell open.
"Your kidding! Wow! My mum works here, that's how I got in, she's up there." She said, pointing to the stage at a tall brunette.
Chase looked at the near-naked woman who was winding herself around a pole and winking at men.
"Oh..." He said, no really sure what he was supposed to say.
"Heh, yah, she's a hooker, I have no idea who my Dad is, he could be in this very room, she is one of the best in your Dad's Harem, so she has quite a few customers. I was kinda embarrassed at first, but you get used to it." She said at the look on his face. He smirked back at her.
Chase and Chris had been talking a flirting gently with each other for almost thirty minuets when the young boy spied Ray shoving his way through the room, heading for the private section of the building which would take him up to Kai's personal quarters. Chase watched him until he vanished from view, he shrugged, trying not to wonder too much about the slight panicked look on Ray's features.
A few minuets later Chase felt a hand clap down on his shoulder, he glanced around and saw Kai standing over him, it must have been more serious than he thought if it had caused Kai to leave Aruna's side.
"Brat," Grumbled Kai, "Go and look after your mother, I have things to attend to." He said. From his tone Chase knew there was no arguing, he would have liked to stay and talk to Chris a little while longer, he really liked her, but he sighed and nodded.
Kai cut a path through the crowd, people, no matter how drunk they were, moving instantly out of his way. Chase stood up.
"You weren't kidding, wow, your the son of a billionaire!" Chris breathed.
"Yeah," He said, "I gotta go, see you around." He grumbled, and started slouching away.
"Hn, that's it ? No good-bye kiss ?" She yelled after him, he glanced at her, she was pouting slightly.
He smirked and came back thinking, 'why not?'
"Well, I guess you deserve it for putting up with me....." He said, but couldn't say anything else because she had pressed her lips to his. It only lasted a few seconds, but that was enough. When they broke apart, Chase smirked at her, turned and walked away, out of the club room. He never saw her again.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Kai snarled, he really didn't have time for this, but according to Ray, they were not going to leave until the saw Kai. The Zone 1 Hardies had come to collect Mirage. Kai stormed to the entrance of the SubRitz, when he got outside he saw two men in suits, standing there, there was still a massive queue to get in, and they seemed very irritated that they were being held up by to people from the surface.
"What ?!" Snapped Kai.
"Mr.Hiwitari, its good to see you again, I am the Chief of police on Zone 1." He spoke in a propitious way, which irritated Kai immensely. "Me and my college have come to collect Mirage." He said.
"Well you've wasted you fucking time !" Said Kai, turning to go back in.
"Could you please tell me what you mean by that ?" Asked the Chief.
"No." He answered, getting more and more frustrated by the second.
"Mr.Hiwitari, if you don't answer my question, then I am afraid I am going to have to take you back to the station with me." He stated, his voice growing serious. Ray quietly radioed for a couple of Kai's men to come out, and then curled his fingers around the handle of his gun, ready. The crowd looked on eagerly, it was as if they could sense a fight coming,
Kai turned around and sneered at the police officer.
"Don't threaten me," He spat, "Mirage are not here, they are dead. When the mother came for the boy she tried escaping, so I shot them, now leave before I have you both killed !" As he had been speaking, two burly looking men had exited and now flanked Ray, near to Kai.
"Mr.Hiwitari, to threaten an officer is an offence." Growled the chief, stepping forwards. He instantly found himself on the End of Ray's gun, as the other officer came forward to help, the two men grabbed him and held him still.
Kai walked up to the annoying chief and glared at him.
"Let me remind you where you are !" He snarled, "you are on Zone 2, you don't have any authority down here, if you try coming back here with more men, I can grantee that the Hardies down here will stop you, they despise you lot as much as the rest of us, and they will take it personally if you try and but in on their territory, I could kill you, but I'm deciding to let you go with a warning. I have killed many men in my time, Chief, "he said," quite a few of them were Hardies, so what makes you think your any different?! If I see you again your a dead man !" With that he nodded to Ray whop lowered his gun, the two men let go of the other police officer, and the crowd cheered as Kai walked back into the SubRitz, all the two Zone 1 Hardies could do was watch.
Kai felt better after that, he had needed to let off some steam, as he came back inside, he was met with Max's bright blue eyes.
"Hey Kai, good news, Aruna is awake !" He said.
Kai pushed past him at these words, a mixture of emotions flooding his body, he barged the crowd inside, punching anyone who wasn't fast enough out of his way.
When he entered his room a few minuets later, he saw Aruna propped up on her pillows with Chase sitting on the edge of the bed next to her. She raised her eyes to his and tried to smile, but failed, her eyes were dull and she had a very sombre air about her. Kai couldn't blame her at all.
He went straight to her, and kissed her gently, then knelt next to her, locking gazes with her he said.
"Tell me, now !"
She sighed. It was the last thing she wanted to talk about, and she winced as the memories came back to her.
"I-It was Bryan." She murmured.
Kai was surprised to say the least. Bryan ? Didn't that bastard give up ?! And how the Hell did he know she was here anyway ?! After the second of surprise, raw hatred flooded him, he snarled and sprang to his feet, drawing his gun.
"I'll kill him!" He yelled, and started for the door.
"Kai !" He stopped and looked back at her. "Kai," She said again, "not yet, wait for tomorrow, you have the club to run and its late, just promise me that you won't hurt Ian, he is the one who helped me escape." She pleaded with him. He couldn't refuse her, especially not now, he growled and put his gun down on the table.
"Fine." He said. He would wait, but tomorrow, he was going to take his men, he was going to go to Bryan's building, and he was going to kill him.
That night, when Kai lay down in bed, he looked at his wife lying beside him, he felt desire swell inside him, but, he held back, he couldn't take her, not now, it would most likely hurt her, he didn't want to cause her anymore pain. Instead, he rolled onto his side, and gently pulled her into his arms so her back was against his chest. Together, they fell asleep like that, warm, tangled in each others arms.
*_*__*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_
Bryan slowly opened his eyes, and as soon as he did he was blinded by the dull grey light filtering through the door which had been left ajar, it was very dim, but it was still enough to make him wince. His head thudded, he groaned, not sure what had happened, all her remembered was......
He looked down at the floor, and saw the shredded remains of her clothes.....
A quick image of her writhing in agony beneath him flashed through his mind, he smirked as he remembered her screams, but it faded as quickly as it had appeared, where was she ?! He snarled, sitting up he tried to ignore his pounding head, what time was it? What DAY was it ?! He scrambled to his feet and tugged on his clothes, he burst out of the room, most of his men had quit when Tala was killed, he only had a handful left, even though that wasn't what the public thought, they all thought that Bryan was second on the rung of power from Kai.
"IAN !" He yelled as loudly as he could, he started making his way to the conference room, she couldn't have gotten out of the building, only he and Ian had card keys. There was no reply from the short man, Bryan snarled, if Ian had had a hand in this then he would kill him !
Suddenly gunfire was heard outside, several people were firing, he was going past a window at the time so he had to duck down as the glass shattered. He swore, and drew out his own weapon.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*__*_*_*_*_*_*_
Kai looked at the few men he had decided to take with him, Bryan would probably be expecting him, but he didn't care. Chase had told Kai that he was going too, no matter how many times Kai refused to take him, he merely glared back and said he would follow them anyway. So, after several minuets of fierce arguing, Kai had reluctantly agreed to let his son come along, Aruna had helped to persuade him, assuring him that Chase was a perfect shot and would come in very useful.
She had gotten out of bed, wincing as she walked, but she didn't limp, but every step that she took caused a small, sharp pain to twinge in her abdomen, both Scarlath and Dranzer had confirmed that she wasn't pregnant which had come as a great relief. So, after bathing and preening for a while she had managed to tell Kai all of what happened.
Kai now looked around the conference table, his son was leaning against the wall, silently observing everything, after all, when Kai got too old to run the SubRitz it would fall to him to look after it, he had to learn how things worked, though his mind kept on drifting to Christina and what he was going to say to her the next time they met.
Ray sat at his right, then Max, then Tyson, then a new man who had only been with them a few months but had already proved his worth, one of Tyson's friends, Andrew, and Kenny, who surprisingly was quite a keen shot with a gun. They were the only people he was taking, he could take 50 men and it would be a shamble, too many people to try and control, and it would also draw too much attention that way, Aruna also sat on his left, he had stubbornly refused to let her come, but she insisted on being present for the proceedings.
"Alright, so when we get there, I want you all to stay outside, blocking the exits, make sure Bryan doesn't get away, I'll try and find a way in, then, I'll Kill the mother fucker !" He snarled.
"Hn, not if I kill him first!" Chase hissed, Kai closed his eyes in irritation, Chase was insisting on coming into the building with him.
"Brat, you are not coming in with me, its bad enough that we have to drag your hide along with us, but if you keep saying you'll follow me in then I'm going to lock you in the basement with Ray again." He said.
Chase growled, clearly he knew his father wasn't serious about the threat, but he also knew that he was pushing his luck.
"Fine." He grumbled.
"Just make sure you don't get shot." Aruna said to bother her son and husband.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_
Chase now crouched behind some trash cans, with the gun in his hand, firing at a window, he had seen someone there, a feeling in his gut told him it had been Bryan, so he fired rapidly, keeping the lavender haired man pinned. He heard gunfire around the other corners of the building, the others were causing as much panic inside the building as possible, he wondered whether his father was able to get in.
Kai hadn't found an obvious entrance by the time he worked his way around to the back door, he found and examined it for a weak spot, but suddenly it was thrown open, he raised his gun but stopped when he came face to face with Ian. The short man stared passively up at Kai who blinked in surprise.
"I've been hanging around this door since last night." He said, as if that was Kai's fault, "I knew you'd be along, I thought I'd make it easier for you."
Kai smirked, he would have to remember to thank the man later, for now he didn't say a word, he just whisked past him and went in search of Bryan.
Chase cursed, he had run out of bullets, he cocked his gun to reload.
Bryan smirked, whoever was firing was clearly having to restock their gun with ammunition. He sprang up and aimed his gun, his smirk broadened as he saw the two toned hair.
"Heh, and then the great Kai died !" He mumbled to himself, and fired a single shot. There was a cry of pain, and he saw the figure collapse, he laughed in triumph, he had won! Hiwitari was dead!
"And then the great Bryan died !" Hissed a cold, gruff voice from behind him. Bryan swung around, and howled in fright.
"Kai ! I-impossible I just killed you !" he yelled. Kai smirked, and said nothing, he just raised the gun, and pulled the trigged, there was a meaty thud as the corpse hit the floor. A great weight seemed to lift from his shoulders as he spat on the body in contempt. But something felt wrong. What had he meant by 'I just killed you' Kai frowned, thinking. He didn't see how Bryan could confuse him with anyone, apart from Chase, but even Chase didn't look that much like him, after all Kai hardly looked like a fifteen year old, mind you, from a distance, perhaps that mistake could be made.....
"Oh no......" He breathed and sprinted for the door. His heart thudded in his chest, he knew that what he was thinking couldn't have happened, he was just being a fool, he was turning into an over protective father, and it was clouding his judgement of reality. Once he got out onto the streets, he shot around until he was below the window that Bryan had been standing at, he looked around, nothing but a couple of trash cans. He smirked, all that worry over nothing.
::Master........:: Said a meek voice in his head as Dranzer spoke up, :: Look behind those cans.::
Ice settled in Kai's stomach as he approached the waste bins, and his mouth ran dry as he saw blood streaming like rivulets between the bricks of the pavement. His son, Chase, lay there, his eyes were closed tightly against the pain, both his hands, circling his own neck, trying to still the blood pumping from his throat where the bullet had penetrated, a small amount forcing its way between his lips. A muscle convulsed sharply in his left leg every few seconds, causing him to twitch horribly. Kai could see that he was still alive, in body at least, but his mind was far beyond help, he knelt down, and placed his own hands gently over his sons. He sat like that until Chase finally lay still, which was not long at all. Kai's eyes were dry.......his son.
Ray found him almost fifteen minuets later, and him and Max had to pry him off Chase's body, Kai seemed to be in a kind of daze, as if unable to take on the enormity of the fact that his son was dead.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_
Aruna had fallen asleep, in all her clothes on her and Kai's bed. She was woken by the creak of the door, and opened bleary eyes to see Kai enter. She yawned and sat up, she opened her mouth to say something, but stopped. The look in Kai's eyes said more than words could. He sat down next to her on the edge of the bed, and looked at her.
Aruna's hand covered her mouth and tears sprung to her eyes, she sobbed once before throwing her arms around Kai and crying into his shoulder. The two grieved together.

He snarled, "you are on Zone 2, you don't have any authority down here, if you try coming back here with more men, I can grantee that the Hardies down here will stop you, they despise you lot as much as the rest of us, and they will take it personally if you try and but in on their territory, I could kill you, but I'm deciding to let you go with a warning. I have killed many men in my time, Chief, "he said," quite a few of them were Hardies, so what makes you think your any different?! If I see you again your a dead man !" With that he nodded to Ray whop lowered his gun, the two men let go of the other police officer, and the crowd cheered as Kai walked back into the SubRitz, all the two Zone 1 Hardies could do was watch.
Kai felt better after that, he had needed to let off some steam, as he came back inside, he was met with Max's bright blue eyes.
"Hey Kai, good news, Aruna is awake !" He said.
Kai pushed past him at these words, a mixture of emotions flooding his body, he barged the crowd inside, punching anyone who wasn't fast enough out of his way.
When he entered his room a few minuets later, he saw Aruna propped up on her pillows with Chase sitting on the edge of the bed next to her. She raised her eyes to his and tried to smile, but failed, her eyes were dull and she had a very sombre air about her. Kai couldn't blame her at all.
He went straight to her, and kissed her gently, then knelt next to her, locking gazes with her he said.
"Tell me, now !"
She sighed. It was the last thing she wanted to talk about, and she winced as the memories came back to her.
"I-It was Bryan." She murmured.
Kai was surprised to say the least. Bryan ? Didn't that bastard give up ?! And how the Hell did he know she was here anyway ?! After the second of surprise, raw hatred flooded him, he snarled and sprang to his feet, drawing his gun.
"I'll kill him!" He yelled, and started for the door.
"Kai !" He stopped and looked back at her. "Kai," She said again, "not yet, wait for tomorrow, you have the club to run and its late, just promise me that you won't hurt Ian, he is the one who helped me escape." She pleaded with him. He couldn't refuse her, especially not now, he growled and put his gun down on the table.
"Fine." He said. He would wait, but tomorrow, he was going to take his men, he was going to go to Bryan's building, and he was going to kill him.
That night, when Kai lay down in bed, he looked at his wife lying beside him, he felt desire swell inside him, but, he held back, he couldn't take her, not now, it would most likely hurt her, he didn't want to cause her anymore pain. Instead, he rolled onto his side, and gently pulled her into his arms so her back was against his chest. Together, they fell asleep like that, warm, tangled in each others arms.

Bryan slowly opened his eyes, and as soon as he did he was blinded by the dull grey light filtering through the door which had been left ajar, it was very dim, but it was still enough to make him wince. His head thudded, he groaned, not sure what had happened, all her remembered was......
He looked down at the floor, and saw the shredded remains of her clothes.....
A quick image of her writhing in agony beneath him flashed through his mind, he smirked as he remembered her screams, but it faded as quickly as it had appeared, where was she ?! He snarled, sitting up he tried to ignore his pounding head, what time was it? What DAY was it ?! He scrambled to his feet and tugged on his clothes, he burst out of the room, most of his men had quit when Tala was killed, he only had a handful left, even though that wasn't what the public thought, they all thought that Bryan was second on the rung of power from Kai.
"IAN !" He yelled as loudly as he could, he started making his way to the conference room, she couldn't have gotten out of the building, only he and Ian had card keys. There was no reply from the short man, Bryan snarled, if Ian had had a hand in this then he would kill him !
Suddenly gunfire was heard outside, several people were firing, he was going past a window at the time so he had to duck down as the glass shattered. He swore, and drew out his own weapon.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*__*_*_*_*_*_*_
Kai looked at the few men he had decided to take with him, Bryan would probably be expecting him, but he didn't care. Chase had told Kai that he was going too, no matter how many times Kai refused to take him, he merely glared back and said he would follow them anyway. So, after several minuets of fierce arguing, Kai had reluctantly agreed to let his son come along, Aruna had helped to persuade him, assuring him that Chase was a perfect shot and would come in very useful.
She had gotten out of bed, wincing as she walked, but she didn't limp, but every step that she took caused a small, sharp pain to twinge in her abdomen, both Scarlath and Dranzer had confirmed that she wasn't pregnant which had come as a great relief. So, after bathing and preening for a while she had managed to tell Kai all of what happened.
Kai now looked around the conference table, his son was leaning against the wall, silently observing everything, after all, when Kai got too old to run the SubRitz it would fall to him to look after it, he had to learn how things worked, though his mind kept on drifting to Christina and what he was going to say to her the next time they met.
Ray sat at his right, then Max, then Tyson, then a new man who had only been with them a few months but had already proved his worth, one of Tyson's friends, Andrew, and Kenny, who surprisingly was quite a keen shot with a gun. They were the only people he was taking, he could take 50 men and it would be a shamble, too many people to try and control, and it would also draw too much attention that way, Aruna also sat on his left, he had stubbornly refused to let her come, but she insisted on being present for the proceedings.
"Alright, so when we get there, I want you all to stay outside, blocking the exits, make sure Bryan doesn't get away, I'll try and find a way in, then, I'll Kill the mother fucker !" He snarled.
"Hn, not if I kill him first!" Chase hissed, Kai closed his eyes in irritation, Chase was insisting on coming into the building with him.
"Brat, you are not coming in with me, its bad enough that we have to drag your hide along with us, but if you keep saying you'll follow me in then I'm going to lock you in the basement with Ray again." He said.
Chase growled, clearly he knew his father wasn't serious about the threat, but he also knew that he was pushing his luck.
"Fine." He grumbled.
"Just make sure you don't get shot." Aruna said to bother her son and husband.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_
Chase now crouched behind some trash cans, with the gun in his hand, firing at a window, he had seen someone there, a feeling in his gut told him it had been Bryan, so he fired rapidly, keeping the lavender haired man pinned. He heard gunfire around the other corners of the building, the others were causing as much panic inside the building as possible, he wondered whether his father was able to get in.
Kai hadn't found an obvious entrance by the time he worked his way around to the back door, he found and examined it for a weak spot, but suddenly it was thrown open, he raised his gun but stopped when he came face to face with Ian. The short man stared passively up at Kai who blinked in surprise.
"I've been hanging around this door since last night." He said, as if that was Kai's fault, "I knew you'd be along, I thought I'd make it easier for you."
Kai smirked, he would have to remember to thank the man later, for now he didn't say a word, he just whisked past him and went in search of Bryan.
Chase cursed, he had run out of bullets, he cocked his gun to reload.
Bryan smirked, whoever was firing was clearly having to restock their gun with ammunition. He sprang up and aimed his gun, his smirk broadened as he saw the two toned hair.
"Heh, and then the great Kai died !" He mumbled to himself, and fired a single shot. There was a cry of pain, and he saw the figure collapse, he laughed in triumph, he had won! Hiwitari was dead!
"And then the great Bryan died !" Hissed a cold, gruff voice from behind him. Bryan swung around, and howled in fright.
"Kai ! I-impossible I just killed you !" he yelled. Kai smirked, and said nothing, he just raised the gun, and pulled the trigged, there was a meaty thud as the corpse hit the floor. A great weight seemed to lift from his shoulders as he spat on the body in contempt. But something felt wrong. What had he meant by 'I just killed you' Kai frowned, thinking. He didn't see how Bryan could confuse him with anyone, apart from Chase, but even Chase didn't look that much like him, after all Kai hardly looked like a fifteen year old, mind you, from a distance, perhaps that mistake could be made.....
"Oh no......" He breathed and sprinted for the door. His heart thudded in his chest, he knew that what he was thinking couldn't have happened, he was just being a fool, he was turning into an over protective father, and it was clouding his judgement of reality. Once he got out onto the streets, he shot around until he was below the window that Bryan had been standing at, he looked around, nothing but a couple of trash cans. He smirked, all that worry over nothing.
::Master........:: Said a meek voice in his head as Dranzer spoke up, :: Look behind those cans.::
Ice settled in Kai's stomach as he approached the waste bins, and his mouth ran dry as he saw blood streaming like rivulets between the bricks of the pavement. His son, Chase, lay there, his eyes were closed tightly against the pain, both his hands, circling his own neck, trying to still the blood pumping from his throat where the bullet had penetrated, a small amount forcing its way between his lips. A muscle convulsed sharply in his left leg every few seconds, causing him to twitch horribly. Kai could see that he was still alive, in body at least, but his mind was far beyond help, he knelt down, and placed his own hands gently over his sons. He sat like that until Chase finally lay still, which was not long at all. Kai's eyes were dry.......his son.
Ray found him almost fifteen minuets later, and him and Max had to pry him off Chase's body, Kai seemed to be in a kind of daze, as if unable to take on the enormity of the fact that his son was dead.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_
Aruna had fallen asleep, in all her clothes on her and Kai's bed. She was woken by the creak of the door, and opened bleary eyes to see Kai enter. She yawned and sat up, she opened her mouth to say something, but stopped. The look in Kai's eyes said more than words could. He sat down next to her on the edge of the bed, and looked at her.
Aruna's hand covered her mouth and tears sprung to her eyes, she sobbed once before throwing her arms around Kai and crying into his shoulder. The two grieved together.
