Chapter 8 - What happened to us?
(((Normal POV)))
Catty sat on the balcony in the pouring rain lost in thought. She couldn't believe that the war had already poured into the human realm. The news groups were trying to gather information on what might be attacking the people all around the world.
Catty shook her head. ' We were supposed to prevent them from even coming here in the first place! ' she thought to herself. She couldn't get over the fact that the demons had already gained control of Africa and Antarctica.
Kai stood near the door watching the tiger demon get lost in her own thoughts. He sighed and looked over at Spike who was merely stretching so his muscles wouldn't cramp up.
" Shouldn't you be resting your shoulder? " Kai asked as he watched the wolf stretch out his arms and neck.
" Yea but I don't want to be cramped up if we get attacked. " Spike said as finished and turned on the TV.
Max walked into the room and sat down next to Spike. Even though the turtle was half awake he managed to get comfortable enough to fall asleep again on the wolf master. Spike smiled gently and rubbed Max's back.
" It's too dark outside… what time is it??" Max asked as he yawned as he stretched out and rested his head in Spikes lap.
" It's 11:45am Max. " Kai said looking from Max to Spike. Spike had managed to keep Max calm through the situations with the gunfire and Rei's sudden memory jogs. They had formed a decently goof friendship. Spike treated Max like a lil brother since his died protecting him from a monster when he was 6.
Max on the other hand never had an older brother since his parents had gotten a divorce when he was younger. (AN- Ok I don't know when exactly Judy and Mr. Tate divorced but bear with me people ok? Ok ) He took to Spike the moment he came into the hotel and helped out with Rei.
Kai shook his head and grabbed a jacket, then headed outside next to Catty.
" You know you shouldn't be out here dressed in that… " Kai managed to say before Catty looked at him with sorrowful eyes. "What's wrong…" Kai walked over to Catty and placed the jacket on her shoulders and wrapped his arms around her waist.
" I failed…"
"What?" Kai looked at Catty forcing her to look at him. " What are you talking about Catty?? "
" I was suppose to prevent Khayman from letting the demons loose on the human world. I failed. Kai… I failed my mission in preventing the demons from getting through. " Catty choked back her tears, though with the rain it would hard to tell if she wasn't crying to begin with.
" Putting yourself down is a lame way to get compliments. You do know that right? " Kai said as he watched Catty carefully. Catty looked at Kai and rubbed her eyes, only causing them to sting even more. Kai sighed and took out a reasonably dry cloth to dry off her eyes.
" Plus…" Kai started, only to forget what he was going to say. Catty looked at Kai with her golden eyes slightly glazed over giving them a dull appearance. Kai could only stare at Catty. It had been a couple of days since the rain had started and Catty was already looking a little thinner then she should.
" Have you been eating well?" Kai asked as he brushed some of Catty's hair outta her face. Catty merely looked off towards the tall buildings.
" We have to try and kill Khayman before the human race becomes extinct. But, I don't want to put that pressure on my team. " Catty mumbled to herself and leaned back into Kai subconsciously. Kai noticed this and rested his head on her shoulder before sighing.
" Why do YOU have to kill Khayman? " Kai asked looking down at the ground.
The earth had become so saturated with water that it couldn't hold it anymore. The sewers were flooded causing the roads to be blocked for motor vehicles. Even the flights were cancelled, mostly because the pilots couldn't see the runways.
" Because, I can't let him try and hurt the people I care about. " Catty said as she looked over her shoulder and into Kai's eyes. Catty silently laughed at herself as she realized what she said.
"What's so funny? " Kai asked as Catty shook her head and looked over into the living room where the Demolition Boys, Blade Breakers, and Were Pack were talking and laughing as if nothing was happening.
" It's comforting to see them that happy. "
" What? " Kai said as he looked at what she was talking about.
" It's as if the world is stopping for them. Their laughing and having fun while the earth is dying from lack of oxygen. " Catty said as she held the jacket closer to her body. " It's nice to see what we fight for. To be able to keep them from knowing what will happen if Khayman does take over."
Kai looked over at Catty.
" So this is what you fight for? "
Catty looked at Kai and nodded. " Though you may not realize it, we've even helped you before Kai. Spike was willing enough to change his identity to make sure that you and Tala were ok in the Abbey. He was one of the scientists that helped you out every day. "
Kai's eyes widened slightly. How could Spike and the Instructor Spike be the same person? Sure they were immortal he remembered Catty mentioning that earlier but, to have actually aged himself and gone to the Abbey to make sure that they emotions weren't completely killed from their training.
Kai shook his head.
" That can't be him. " Kai said. He even remembered Spike taking several shots for him and the Demolition Boys more times then any normal… human could take.
Catty smiled sadly as she raised her hand to his cheek and wiped one of the blue triangles off Kai's face. " It is him. " Kai stared at Catty then placed his hand on top of hers.
" Why? "
()!()!()!()!
A tall dark man looked over the city.
"Isn't it beautiful? The world is turning into a giant ocean. " The man said talking to what seemed like air.
" Master Khayman. We have targeted Korimi and Tala Ivanov, Catty Kon, and even Kai Hiwatari. " A young man around his late 20's said. He kneeled down as Khayman turned and looked at him sternly.
" So even Kai Hiwatari is with them huh? Well, I'm guessing he won't know his place in this war until its too late. Don't worry about Hiwatari. I want Korimi here in no less then 72 hours, understood?!" Khayman said as he turned back to the view of the city.
" Yes sir! " The young man saluted Khayman and left to get a team ready to kidnap Korimi.
Khayman listened carefully then picked up the sound of footsteps retreating from his lair. He looked down to find Liz riding away on her spirit Tarento, a silver wolf with a tip of black on the top of her tail.
" So we have a leak." Khayman grinned mischievously.
" Tou. Would you be so kind to follow Miss Liz and make sure that she doesn't get to Korimi before we attack understood? Kill her if you must. I want this plan to work our perfectly. " Khayman said as he walked away from the setting moon.

Haru had been playing around with Nekori near the door that led into the living room. Spike looked over his shoulder to see what Haru had been up to.
Max looked over at Haru and smiled. Kitty smiled and jumped over the couch to play around with Bryan's jacket again. Bryan sighed and looked slightly annoyed, … ok that would be lying, he was COMPLETELY annoyed.
" Must you ALWAYS do that? " Bryan semi glared at Kitty who merely shrugged it off and played with the fluff on his jacket more.
Korimi grinned and went to say something to Bryan when he cut her off.
" Don't even think about it mutt." Bryan muttered.
" Wolf, I'm a wolf not a mutt!!" Korimi snapped back at Bryan.
" Oh I'm sorry I mean to say flea bag! " Bryan glared at Korimi.
" Oh, I'll show you what this 'flea bag' can do!!" Korimi turned into her wolf form and made to tackle Bryan when Tala froze her in midair.
Bryan took one good look at Korimi before taking a picture and waving it her face. " You know what this is mutt? It's blackmail! " Bryan chuckled as he stored the picture in his pocket and the camera else where.
The room erupted into laughter as Tala and Kitsume left for the kitchen. Kitsume got herself a glass and filled it with water, then sat at small table.
()!()!()!()!
Tala did the same and joined her on the other side of the table so he was facing her.
" So how does your power work? " Tala asked as he took a drink from his glass. Kitsume merely looked up at Tala and raised an eyebrow.
" Where did this question come from? " Kitsume asked as she set her glass down and looked Tala in the eyes.
" I mean, when you came out to get the glass of water a couple of nights ago you didn't seem to get lost when you came in contact with me. " Tala said as he set his glass down and looked at Kitsume.
" Well, I wasn't exactly trying to figure out about you at that time Tala… " Kitsume said as she traced her finger around the top of the glass causing a slight ringing sound.
Tala sighed and moved closer to her and placed a hand on top of hers. Kitsume looked at Tala and slightly blushed.
" So are you saying that you at least saw something? " Tala raised an eyebrow as he watched Kitsume turn a deeper shade of red. " From your reactions it must've been something good. " Tala looked at her questionably.
Kitsume tried to clear her throat but it was like trying to stop Tyson from inhaling food. Tala leaned over and rubbed her back slightly causing Kitsume's breath to return somewhat back to normal.
" So… what did you see?? " Tala asked as he noticed Kitsume trying to direct her vision elsewhere.
" I saw your dream Tala. And uhh…. " Kitsume blushed even redder when Tala's eyes widened slightly.
" THAT dream. " Kitsume nodded then noticed a small flash of purplish-blue hair.
" What kind of dreams are you having Tala?? " Ian asked and chuckled when his captain slightly jumped when he spoke. " Aww he's even got the jitters."
Tala turned and glared at Ian. " Why don't you go and see if Bryan needs help getting his jacket back from Kitty!" Ian got the point and left with a smirk plastered on his face.
" I don't like that expression he left with… " Tala rested his head in his hands and sighed. Kitsume smiled and grinned as she got up and sat in the back of Tala's chair and slipped her hands under his shirt causing him to jump as her cold hands came in contact with his warm back.
" WHAT ARE YOU --- " Tala shut up when Kitsume started rubbing small circles on his back. Kitsume smiled as he leaned back resting his forehead against her neck. 'It runs in the family.' Kitsume chuckled as she rubbed his back, chest, temples, (anything above the waist).

After Korimi finally got unfrozen she went to march into the kitchen to yell at her brother until she saw him completely asleep with Kitsume rubbing his muscles. So with a sigh Korimi turned to go to Rei's room to see what he had been doing all day.
Korimi walked in to find Rei sitting next to the sliding glass door playing his guitar singing a song softly. As she got closer she could hear him singing.
"And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
Cuz all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Got lost or thrown away"
Rei leaned against the glass and looked at the rain.
" And now we're grown up orphans
And never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame
But you could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name "
Korimi closed the door behind her and watched Rei sing and play the song he was playing. The only thing was she remembered that song from somewhere but she couldn't place her finger on it.
"And scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are "
Rei sang louder as the song progressed and the beat picked up.
" We grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
I won't tell em' your name
Oooh, oooh, oooh
I won't tell em' your name
Ow! "
Korimi watched Rei play faster as the guitar solo came up and sat on the bed watching the moon reflect on his hair. She seemed mesmerized by how much a lil light could make him look so enchanting.
" I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are
Come back down
And I won't tell 'em your name "
Rei finished the song and strung the string on his guitar for the last notes. Korimi eyes widened when she remembered where she heard the song. It had been the night before the war had started. It was also the day his parents had died and he left to find his sister.
Korimi got up from the bed and quietly walked over to Rei and sat down next to him resting her head on his shoulder. Rei played the song again signing a lil louder and even leaned over and kissed Korimi's forehead when a break came.
Korimi looked up and kissed Rei's cheek.
" Hey there. " Rei said as picked Korimi up and sat her in his lap and played his guitar once again. Korimi sighed and leaned her head against Rei's chest and fell asleep listening to him sing away.
()!()!()!()!
Catty and Kai had finally agreed that they had been out in the rain WAY too long and decided to go into Catty's room since Korimi hadn't come in yet.
Catty took her clothes into the bathroom and dried off. She got changed into her pj's. Kai walked over and got some clothes that Catty left for him. He got a pair of baggy cargo shorts and a loose tee shirt that said 'You have Kind eyes, the kind I'd like to poke out.'
Kai smirked at the message and made a mental note to ask her where she bought the shirt. Catty emerged from the bathroom, with a loose tee shirt and some shorts on.
" You going to sleep in here tonight? " Catty asked Kai as she crawled into bed.
" Do you mind? " Kai asked as he tucked her in.
" Not at all. It's not like we're going to DO anything." Catty sighed as Kai joined her in the bed. Kai shook his head and got under the warm blankets. Catty sighed and moved closer to the heat under the blankets, which lead her next to Kai. Kai smirked and wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him.
Catty rested her head on Kai's chest and started purring softly.
"Comfy?" Kai asked as the purring started to get a lil louder. " guess so… "
" Night Kai."
" Night Catty. "
