Chapter 10
()() Normal POV ()()
Kai stared at the bathroom door for a while before deciding that he should get out of bed. Slowly he walked out of the bedroom and into his and Rei's, only to be greeted by the smell of metallic blood hitting his senses.
" What the?! " Kai said as he made his way to go for the light switch but ended up tripping over a body on the ground. Tala shook his head as he felt someone trip over him.
" Hiwatari is that you? " Tala asked in an icy cold tone.
" Maybe, What are you doing on the floor Tala? " Kai turned on the light and knelt down beside his childhood friend.
" Enjoying the view of the floor. "
" Ha ha Tala. "" Nothing gets by you now does it? " Tala said sarcastically as Kai left and walked over to Rei. Tala looked around the room only to be greeted by the sight of a message written in blood. Tala's eyes widened slightly as the metallic scent matched to Rei's.
Kai carefully looked at Rei's wound to make sure it wasn't serious. His back had a couple of deep scars that traced his shoulder blades and his spine. Kai grabbed one of the bed sheets and tore it apart and started wrapping Rei's back.
Clearly he had lost enough blood to completely pass out and he wasn't waking up. Tala walked over to help Kai put Rei on the bed and covered him in the sheets.
" Where's Korimi? " Tala asked, fearing the answer.
" I don't know. " Kai said as he left to examine the message left on the wall.
" Kai, Do you think that we should help them? " Tala asked as he sat at the foot of Rei's bed.
" Do you want to help your baby sister? " Kai replied as he left to go back to Catty's room. Leaving Tala to his own thoughts.
Bryan opened his eyes only to be greeted by Kitty snuggling up to him with his jacket wrapped around her small body. Bryan sighed while trying to find a way to move without waking the young kitty.
The front door slowly opened and a hooded figure walked into the living room. Bryan quickly closed his eyes acting like he was asleep. ' Whose this? Aren't there enough people out for our heads?' Bryan thought as the hooded figure walked over to Kitty's side.
" Kitty, Kitty I need you to wake up. " The hooded figure said lightly shaking Kitty's shoulder.
Kitty blinked and yawned as she made an effort to snuggle back into Bryan's chest and fall asleep.
" Not yet Kitty-chan. Get up I need to ask you a favor. "
Kitty opened her eyes then looked at the teen as she took off her hood, letting her black hair fall out around her. Kitty smiled broadly and jumped onto the older teen.
" BIG SISTER!!! " Kitty glomped her older sister as her sister caught her and held her.
" It's nice to see you too Kitty-chan " The older teen replied.
Bryan opened his eyes and sat up.
" So you have an older sister? " Kitty turned and smiled at Bryan.
" Bryan, this is Chesa, Chesa, this is Bryan." Kitty introduced the two. Chesa nodded her head and walked over to Bryan and kissed him lightly on the lips.
" Nice to meet ya. " Chesa winked and left to talk to Kitty. Bryan merely stood there for a moment not saying anything. Slowly his hand came to his lips as he watched Kitty talk to Chesa. Bryan quickly shook his head and sat down on the couch and turned on the tv.
Spike and the others (Except Rei, Tala, Kai, Catty and Bryan) walked over to Chesa and Kitty and a huge convo started up.
Catty stepped out of the shower and walked into her room and searched through her for something to wear. Her hair was sticking to her since it was still drenched and she was shivering so badly she couldn't stand in one place!
Kai walked into the bedroom and watched Catty from a distance until he couldn't just watch her anymore. Slowly he walked over to Catty and wrapped his arms around her small waist. Catty jumped at first, clutching the towel closer to her body.
" Need a lil help here? " Kai breathed into Catty's ear causing her to shiver even more.
" Just a lil cold. " Catty answered leaning back against Kai absorbing the heat that radiated off of his body. Kai smirked and held her tighter.
" Then why don't you get dressed? " Kai whispered as he waited for Catty's reply. Catty quickly turned around and mockingly glared at Kai. Kai merely looked back and turned around so his back was facing her. Catty simply grabbed a shirt and some shorts that read Field Hockey across the bottom left leg.
Kai turned back around and looked her up and down. Placing his firm grip back around her. Catty looked at his somewhat confused as to what Kai wanted. One time he was a complete jerk to her, the other he was a really nice guy. Catty shook her head and noticed Kai grin. Raising an eyebrow, she looked at him as to say what do you want.
" Hey there, kitten. " Catty somewhat blushed at her new nickname and puffed out her cheeks. Kai chuckled and held his grip around her.
" My name is Catty! Not Kitten. " Kai merely leaned down and kissed Catty passionatly. Catty stood there for moment, completely shocked. Kai went to pull away when Catty wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down so she could kiss him back. Kai grinned and held onto Catty tighter and deepened the kiss.
Even though she was confused, something told her it was right.
Tala stared at the glass door that was shattered with Kai's words replaying in his head. Finally he sighed and walked over to check on Rei.
Rei rolled over to his side and slowly opened his eyes. Rei looked over to the side and saw Tala looking down at him.
" You ok? " Tala asked as he sat down next to the neko. Rei merely stared at Tala before his eyes glazed over. Rei hugged Tala and cried his eyes out.
" I … couldn't… protect her…. I'm soo sorry Tala… " Rei choked on his tears as his tears stained Tala's shirt. Tala sat there rubbing small circles on Rei's back trying to calm him down. 'He tried to save her… ' Tala looked down at Rei, whose face was beat red from crying.
" Rei calm down. Crying now won't bring her back. We have to gather ourselves together and try to figure out how to get her back. " Tala said as Rei tried to even out his breathing.
" I … feel like I've… destroyed any trust… you had in me… " Rei cried even harder. Tala sighed and held onto the neko-jin, letting him calm down so he could talk to him better.
Thunder clapped as rain came down harder. Tala looked out the window and sighed.
" You done crying yet? "
Rei looked at Tala and nodded slowly.
" Yeah…"
Tala walked over to the bed and laid down on his back staring at the ceiling. 'You know you should try to reassure him that we'll find Korimi.' Tala closed his eyes inviting Wolborg to enter his mind so they could have a chat. ' I can't help if I'm worrying about the same damn thing. Just one second she was here, and now she's gone… I may not remember everything exactly but I know that I was supposed to prevent them from taking her.
' You can't decide what should have happened. Since you can't change the past. But you can decide what's going to happen next.' Wolborg left to talk to the other spirits and left Tala to his own thoughts. '… He's right.'
" What should we do with her sir? " Tou asked as he held Korimi over his shoulder.
" Take her to the dungeon for now. Maybe she'd like to see some of her old friends." A guard smirked as Tou nodded his head and left for the dungeon.
When he entered there was the horrid sound of screams and metal scraping against flesh. Korimi tried to open her eyes but for some reason she couldn't feel her entire body!
Tou got to the cell and threw Korimi off his shoulder and into the cage. He walked over and shackled her wrists so she couldn't try and break through the cell bars easily.
After a quick inspection of the other prisoners, Tou left to go report to Khayman.
Walking into Khayman's room Tou stood waiting for Khayman to say he could proceed. Khayman was watching the lightning dance through the sky and merely grinned when he felt Tou's presence.
" Report. "
" Korimi Ivanouv has been captured and is currently being held in the dungeon. " Tou said he watched Khayman turn around to look at him.
" And the leak? "
" She won't make it in time to tell Kai his true purpose. She sestains critical injuries to the head, chest, and stomach area. "
Khayman nodded and smiled.
" Very good, Tou go and have yourself a feast. The night shall be long and you look a little tired. Meet back here after you've awoken. We have must to discuss about how we will treat these pathetic humans."
Tou nodded and bowed before he turned and left to treat himself to a feast and a nap.
" Korimi is here. That's all I need. I wonder what the white wolf is doing right now. " Khayman laughed as he thought of ways to get Korimi to obey him. Even though he might need a specific white tiger.
" Kane, How's our little, clone doing? "
" Clone Ray is about 60 complete. He should be ready to be at your command by the time Tou comes back. " Kane responded through an intercom.
" Everything is running smoothly. " Khayman smirked as the moon shined brighter then usual.

Liz leaned against the wall with Tarento nuzzling his head against her side.
" Tarento, I thought you were going to leave by now… " Liz said as she looked up at the stars. Tarento said nothing as he started healing his master's wounds.
" Hopefully we can still get to them in time. Korimi's already kidnapped so that means we don't have as much time. " Liz went to get up but Tarento didn't move until he was done healing his master.
' Hopefully Korimi has Keizer on her. It will make her easier to track down.' Tarento said as Liz mounted his back and the rode off towards the hotel.
" Yea, I hope she does. "
