Summary: Sequel to Cost of Inheiritance; Kai and Rei are starting their journeys to find each other again, but with Kai stuck in Russia with a
new kid named Nise, and a myserious boy that keeps reapearing to Rei, will they change their minds about being each others mates and go for the others, or will the love they already have grow enough to survive the 1875 mile track across China and Russia?
Kid (4/29/04): Well. I know I haven't exactly posted the first chapter to this, but I thought I'd better get a head start on this. Just in case. Plus,
I'm listening to the Queen of the Damned Soundtrack. I love this CD. Grins It's perfect for writing angst/Tradgety/Horror fics, and that is
what I'm mainly here for, so why not earn my keep when it's so... (in honor of the new HP movie comming out:) bloody wicked! Okay, enough
ranting about this. On to updates.
Updates: Disappearence is on the verge of a sequel, only because someone asked for it. I've got a bunch new one-shot stories in my mind that
could easily be turned into chapter stories. And this music is giving me great ideas.... Anyway, I'm going to start on this. -.
Chapter two: Beginning's (Of self interrogations and rage).
China
(Soundtrack to China:)
After he woke me up, I fell asleep again. This, though unnoticed right then by myself, was unusual. I never slept in. But, at that moment, I
really didn't care. I just wanted to sleep.
I did wake up though. Not too long afterward it seemed. I asked him to let me down. I wanted to walk. If I didn't wake up, I wouldn't sleep at all
that night, and he does. I stumble a little at first, but I'm caught by the other boy. He lets me hang on to him a bit as we walk, and soon I'm only
half asleep as we walk. I did notice that Drigger wasn't there, and I wondered where he could have went, but my mind didn't stray on that for
long.
I didn't really notice anything about the boy until later that night. I was eating the food that he'd caught. Fish, one of my favorites. Neither of
us were talking, and I finally look over at him, half expecting to see Drigger. Instead, in Drigger's place, was a boy around my age it seemed. His
hair was unusual. The bangs were black, and came to his chin, while the rest of it came to the bottom of his ears in a white with random streaks
of black embeded in the colour. He looks at me then, and I notice: his eyes are the same colour of gold as mine, but though they were older
seeming, they were pure and faultless. Immediantly I understood who it was. I whisper Driggers name, knowing I wasn't wrong. Drigger nods,
gulping down the bite of fish in his mouth.
Slowly, I began to understand. The reason I was so sleepy, why Drigger was in his human form, and why I hadn't noticed it before, but I didn't
understand it. I don't know what else should be said about it. He was there, in human form. Of course he was a Neko-jin. I am, my mother is,
the cheif is, and so was, or more is, he. I shake my head, trying to get the thoughts out of my head, but only succeding in giving myself a slight
headache. I sigh, but keep quiet.
After a meal ate through complete silence, we both decide to go to bed. I lay down, my feet closest to the fire, and instantly I realize just how
close two people can get without touching. But I wasn't bothered by it. I felt safe.
I -was- safe. Just like with Kai.
Russia
(Soundtrack to Russia:)
Kai sits back down, letting Nise wrap his arms around his. Kai's eyes dart around, looking at everything except Nise and their arms wrapped
together. Nise had said that the kiss had meant nothing, but something like that just wasn't given away to anyone. Kai knew that there was
something else, and he needed to find out, and tell Nise about Rei before Nise fell too deep. And that was what Kai's mind was on. How to bring it up. But there is nothing there. No way to bring it up, mention it too him to make him ask questions, NOTHING!!
So Nise asks something himself. "Kai? How did yous get in the abbey?" He'd asked this before hadn't he? Well, either way, it was perfect.
"Mate." Kai says, sternly, but softly. "Nanis? Mate?" Kai nods. "You haves a mate? Who is it?" Nise asks, a light sparkling in his emerald
eyes. "Kon Rei." "So, where is this Kon nows?" Kai shrugs. Nise falls, his face landing in the snow. "What's!? You don't knows where your
mates is?!" Kai nods. Nise sighs. "Oh well. You'll find her." Kai looks at him as if he said "I'm an alien dinosaur from outer space sent here to
give you a good fuck." Again Nise sighs, and Kai very well concidered that the "Alien Dinosaur" comment might be true, until Nise looks up at the boy above him. "What is it, Kai?" "Rei isn't a girl." Nise's eyes grow, twice their normal size, which until then had seemed impossible. "Kon Rei is a.. A guys?" Kai nods soberly. "Mesa.. Mesa ......" Nise's words stumble on his tongue as his mind trys to make sense of this new knowledge. Kai sighs this time, closing his eyes. "So.. So...Yous like.. Guys?" Kai nods. "So that's whys you pushed mesa off when mesa kissed you. You haves a mate. Meas should have known!
"Well, anyway, we needs to hurry and leaves this place. Mesa think that if we stays here much longer, wes gets caught." Kai's eyebrows
furrow, but the boy agrees nonetheless. They get up and, with Nise's arms still wrapped around Kai's, they follow wherever their feet take them.
Which wasn't far. They stopped when a small cave, just big enough for Kai and Nise to fit in. The cave was just outside the city, and the way
Nise's stomach was growling, and Kai's felt none existant anymore, they would have to stop and eat if nothing else. Without speaking to each
other, they both leave, Kai to get the food, Nise to get the firewood.
It had turned into a more peaceful than usual night. No clouds were present to block the moon or stars, the temperature was just right, and Kai
was able to come back with plenty of food, mostly meat. Nise smiles, greeting Kai when he comes back, berries, bread, meat, and bottles of water
in his arms.
"Kai?" Nise asks, breaking the almost awkward silence while waiting for the meat to be prepaired. "How do you plans on building a fires, much
less cookings the meats?" Kai takes a generous gulp from his water, then sits it down, beckoning his Phoenix out of his mind and into veiw of
both him and Nise. She comes without hesitating. Immediently Nise jumps back, kicking dirt everywhere, especially in Kai's once open--now closed--mouth. "Whoas! Wheres did that comes from?!" He asks, almost shouting. The Phoenix bows. "I'm called Dranzer. I'm Kai's..... guardian,of a sort." Nise nods, dumbstruck. "Wows. A real Phoenixs." He reaches over to pet her, but the flames around her body ward him off, sending his hand back to his chest, being kissed on momentarily. Nise looks up at Kai, hoping for some other sort of explination but Kai only shakes his head. Without being told, Dranzer blows on the firewood, immediantly bringing them to life with her fire. Kai strokes the feathers on her wings just before she disappears to the back of his mind again.
It was even more peaceful that night, at least, it was to Kai. After Kai had shown Dranzer to Nise, the boy had kept quiet. But every now and
then, Kai thought he'd heard Nise speaking, but when he asked, it was nothing, supposedly. And everything Kai was positive Nise said had been nothing too. It was small things like "Hai." or "Iie." and a few things in an foreign language. Kai snarls and finally decides to go to sleep.
"Kai-san! Kai-san! Wake up. We needs to moves!" Kai groggily wipes his eyes, tuning out the high pitched voice that woke him. He looks
around and then at Nise. Nise's expression was enough to get Kai up to his feet. "What is it?" Nise looks out of the cave. "They're outside, looking for us! They're close too!" He whispers. Kai nods, coming to stand behind Nise as he backs up a little. He doesn't back into Kai but as soon as he turns around, he smacks into his chest. The boy lets out a small groan then looks up at the blue haired boy.
He could do this. He could get away with it; he wouldn't stop him, and he knew it, but he'd get mad, as he did last time. Or would he stop him?
He did have a mate after all, and the only reason he didn't stop him sooner last time was the shock going through him. Nise battles with himself as he stares up into Kai's blue grey eyes. Neither one wanted to look away, but Nise's battle is finally over as a serious expression floods his face and he leans up to Kai and kisses him. But this wasn't the innocent-one-doesn't-know-what-he's-doing kiss as it was before. Nise knew exactly what he was doing. He showed it, and Kai felt it. He drowned in it, he let the wave of ectasy that was going through him pull him under.
Nise smiles. Yes, he did get away with it. How had he of thought he wouldn't? Kai wasn't faithful enough to this "Kon Rei". If he let-
Nise stumbles back from the force Kai hand put into pulling him off. He falls, his legs going above and over his head. "Get up." Kai whispers
harsly. He fades into the shadows as Nise rubs his head, following Kai's example, but far out of arms reach. So maybe he'd been wrong about
Kai not stopping him. And, so maybe he'd just shortened his life by half. As they waited, Kai looks back at Nise, seeing a smirk on his face, but
tears in his eyes.
China
Drigger slowly wakes, sunlight beaming through the tree tops. He quickly shuts his eyes again and shield them with his hands. He sits up,
yawning and trying to bring his foot up to scratch at his head, but soon realizes that his human form couldn't do that. For one his toenails
weren't long enough. So he uses his fingernails. He snifs the air, looking around after his eyes had gotten used to the blinding sunlight. Food
was everywhere. So was water. He smiles, and moving away from Rei's still sleeping form, plans a wonderful breakfist for Rei.
It was only later that Rei awoke. He turns, expecting to have his nose tickled off by Drigger's fur, but instead just gets a nose full of grass. He
sneezes and groans when the force of the sneeze sends him flying into the ground he layed on. He rubs his now sore head as he hears laughter.
For
a moment he thought he and Drigger were still with the other animals
beside the creek, but soon enough his realization of Drigger's human
form comes flooding back into his memory. It stuns him for a
moment, but only a moment as someone, Drigger, placed a leaf covered
in berries,
nuts and one that had a bit of meat on it in front of him. The sight of food reminded him that he was hungry again, and slowly he eats.
"Good?" Drigger asks, bringing Rei out of his daydreams. Rei looks up, smiles and nods, not offering any other type of responce. Drigger
frowns at this. "Is it good, or were you just hungry?" He smiles when the other Neko-jin looks up at him. "Both." He says before going back
to eating. Yet again, Drigger frowns. Now he knew something was wrong. Rei wasn't Tyson. He didn't talk all day and even in his sleep, but he
did talk, and Rei talked more to him-Drigger-than anyone else. "Rei? What's wrong?" Drigger asks, crawling toward him and sitting in front.
Rei shakes his head, mechanically putting food into his mouth and chewing. Drigger sighs, still watching Rei eat. "Rei? Put your hand on your
knee." Rei looks at the Neko-jin weirdly for a moment, but does what Drigger told him to. "This is how much I believe you. Now, put your hand
above your head." Rei does so. "This is how much I should believe you. There's a big difference in these two beliefs, aren't they?" Rei nods.
"Good. Now tell me what is wrong." "Nothing Drigger. Really. I promise!" Drigger half narrows his eyes at Rei, but sighs nonetheless.
How could this be happening? He knew something was wrong, and Drigger noticed. But he couldn't tell what. Rei knew that he was on his way
to finding Kai, and Drigger was only there to help, but he couldn't help feeling like... Like maybe he was wrong about something. What he
wasn't sure, but his sixth sense was never wrong when it was this strong. But what was it?
Russia
They were gone. The Abbey's officials were gone, and hadn't found the two missing persons. Kai and Nise look out, checking both directions,
then scurrying out of the light of the full moon and into the darkened forest behind them. Having no way to know where they were going, they
made frequent stops, checking to see if they were being followed, which never occured to them to be a possibility until half way through the
forest. But, they were safe. No one was following them. No one had seen them leave the cave.
And no one would hear Nise screaming at the gods for mercy.
Kid: Okay, that was just a bit weird, wouldn't you agree?
Fuyu: backs away from Kid. Uh.. Heheh. Kid?
Kid: What?
Fuyu: We are clears throat Friends, right?
Kid: smiles. Hai, hai. Anyway, once again, one of my stories is going in a direction I hadn't even considered until I got to it.
What I love about the last line is, it was inspired by "Secret Window". Wonderful movie, great actors (especially Johnny Depp), and.... It was
almost called perfection. There is only one thing I don't like about it. Lowers head and narrows eyes while reaching behind her they stole my
story drags out shovel. Okay, maybe not, but the whole "insanity" thing was awesome. Also, the director said that writers are boreing!!!!
hits director in head with shovel We're not boreing!!!!!! Maybe watching us work is but -we- aren't boreing!!! Other than that, I loved it. Eh,
this won't be that long of a story after all. I think it may end in the next chapter or two more. But probably not much longer, unless I get a new
idea, and send this on another twist. sighs Oh well.
