It's been a long time, but here is chapter nine.
Oh yeah, I still don't own the WWE.

It was Monday Night Raw and the cheering from the crowd could be heard backstage where a worried Hurricane sat running his hands through his green hair while edgily glancing at the television screen every few seconds.
Nothing else had happened since he had been kidnapped, but that made Shane worry even more. He was scared for his own life, but he couldn't bare it if something happened to Kane. It was fun acting as a superhero, but doing it in real life was completely different. Ever since he had been spying on Kane and RVD in the bar and even before that he couldn't let Kane out of sight for fear of never seeing him again, or of him never being seen again.

Hurricane glanced up at the television screen again. It was triple threat match involving Kane, RVD and Rhyno. Judging by the way Rob appeared and by the conversation with Kane he overheard in the bar, Shane doubted that Rob was the kidnapper. Anyway Shane was pretty certain that the kidnapper was slightly taller and his hair was blonder than Robs appeared to be.

However, Rhyno was a different matter. Shane didn't trust anyone at the moment. During the course of the match Shane had noticed a few gestures towards Kane that Rhyno had been making and this wasn't improving his trust towards him.
But again there was the fact that Rhyno has dark hair, whereas the kidnapper was blond.

Shane rubbed his forehead; he didn't know what to think anymore.

"Shane", a deep voice called to him, "You alright?" Shane looked up at the big red machine stood in the doorway.

"Yeah I'm fine. Aren't you in the middle of a match?" Shane looked slightly confused as he glanced up at the television screen. "Oh, its over." He chuckled to himself, "I was miles away, you know. Who won by the way?"

"Yeah I know. Things have been pretty hectic lately." Kane walked towards him and rubbed his shoulder reassuringly. "Don't worry Shane I won't let anyone hurt you."

"I know you mean what you say Kane, but have you forgotten that I nearly died a couple of days ago and all because some guy is obsessed with you!" Shane jumped up and pushed Kane's hand off his shoulder. "If you protect me then who's gonna have your back? I'm the superhero here, it should be me doing the protecting."
With that said Shane pushed past Kane and left the room, leaving Kane to watch him leave. "I won…" Kane mumbled quietly after him.

Kane sighed. He hadn't forgotten what had happened to Shane; in fact it was all he could think about. What had happened and what could have happened. Kane felt responsible and it was killing him seeing what Shane was going through and it was all because of him. He bit his lip; he'd finally come to the decision he had been thinking about since after the kidnap. Kane took a deep breath and followed Shane.

Shane swore loudly as he fumbled through his bag looking for his car keys. "Shit! I know they're in here somewhere!"

"Hey, I didn't think superheroes were allowed to swear"

"Kane" Shane slowly turned around to face him.

"Looking for these?" Kane teased and held up a pair of keys and jangled them in Shane's face.

"Where did you find them?" Shane smiled and took the keys.

"Found them over there by the door. Guess you dropped them, yeah?"

"Yeah, must have done." Shane nodded and walked over to his car. He stopped suddenly, "hey Kane…thanks."

"It's okay. I…err…wanted to talk to you anyway." Kane took another deep breath. He knew if he didn't do this now then he probably never would and he didn't want to take the risk of something worse happening.

"Yeah." Shane turned back around and saw the anxious look on Kane's face. "What's wrong?"

"Look Shane, you know how I feel about you. The shit that's been going on recently is because of me, yeah. Look, what I'm trying to say is that…well…I think this is the end for us." Kane glanced at the confusion on Shane's face.

"What…why? I don't understand."

"I've forgotten what happened to you. I'll never forget that you nearly died and it's all because of me. I can't let something like that happen again. So, I can't be with you anymore, its over." Kane swore he could feel his own heart breaking at the hurt and betrayal that was shown in Shane's eyes. He tore his eyes away not wanting to look anymore; he could still feel Shane watching him. He felt disgusted with himself for making Shane feel and look like that, he didn't deserve it. The silence was eating away at him, he couldn't stand to be in the car park a minute longer.
"I'm sorry." Kane whispered as he turned and quickly walked away.

Shane barely heard Kane's whispered apology as he watched his love walk away. He felt numb all over; he couldn't believe that everything was over just like that. He blinked back tears, he wouldn't cry here, not here. He thought for a moment and nodded, he knew a place where he could go and would not be disturbed. Slowly he walked towards his car, opened the door and slid into the driver's side. He sighed sadly, turned on the ignition and drove away in silence.

Christian stretched and swung his bag over his shoulder. He headed out of the changing room and yawned. His match had really worn him out. He walked down the corridor towards the car park, where less than 10 minutes ago Kane had walked back from breaking a superheroes heart.

As Christian walked past dressing room he heard a raised voice coming from inside and being nosey he stopped for a quick listen and was soon glad he did.

"I can't believe he got away the other night…yeah that's a good idea…tonight…yeah tonight we'll find out how to kill a superhero…"

Christian gasped. Inside this room was the person who was trying to kill Shane…and he was planning to try again…tonight. He didn't even need to look at the name on the dressing room door to know whom the voice belonged to. He had to get to Shane and warn him that his life was in danger, but he had left already.

Christian ran to his car and dived behind the drivers seat, he scrambled around in his bag until his found his mobile phone, and rang Shane.
"Come on pick up!" Christian anxiously shouted. "Damn it!" The answer machine message played in his ear. He threw the phone onto the seat next to him and started up the car. Edge had gone out with some friends so he was on his own. He prayed that Shane had gone back to the hotel, he had no idea where else he could look and finding him was a matter of life and death…
