Kai then ever so gently unwrapped the blood-stained bandage and cleaned the wound again. He then put the medicine on. Although Serenity was unconscious, she twitched at the sting of the medicine. After that, Kai neatly bandaged it all up, and pulled up her covers.

Max and Ray were watching at Kai do all this. They were surprised at how Kai was concentrating on this one task, he was almost being like a parent or even worse.. he was being CARING.. They shruddered at the thought.

When Kai was done, he turned to face Max and Ray who literally mouths dropped.

"What?" Kai asked confused.

"How come..??" Max began.

"He means nothing! Nothing at all." Ray interuppted knowing Kai's true feelings.

'They're acting weird..' Kai thought, but he just shugged and exited the tent, followed by Ray and Max.

"How is she??" Kenny asked as soon as he say Kai and the others come out.

"She'll be fine." Was all Kai said, as he walked over to the log and took a seat.

"Well that's good to hear!" Tyson chirped.

"How's dinner coming along?" Max asked.

"Well.. after much deliberation... Tyson and I have decided to wait for you guys before we eat." Kenny explained.

"Wow.. Tyson actually waited??" Ray said surprised.

"Yes! Is that so hard to believe??" Tyson placed his hands on his hips staring at Ray straight in the eyes.

"Yeah." They all said. Tyson just 'hmphed.'

**********************

"It's a good thing we'll be leaving tomorrow hey?" Max said as they all ate.

"Yeah..So many things have happen in just 2 days." Ray added.

"Especially to Serenity.. all those accidents.." Kenny said.

"I have a feeling those were no accidents." Kai stated.

"What?!"

"You heard me... The incident tonight was obvious and as far as the lake, Tyson said he felt someone push him. That's dead give away." Kai explained.

"You got a point there Kai.." Ray pondered.

"So what should we do??" Tyson said with his mouth full.

"Be extra careful of course! Be on your guard and look out for Serenity." Kenny answered.

"Agreed." they all said.

[Back at the Black Panthers Camp...]

"So I assumed you took care of her?" Ryan said crossing his arms, as the other gathered around.

"Uh.. well.. you see.." Aaron scratched the back of his head.

"I knew it!" Thao said sticking her hand out at Aaron, and then put both hands on her hips looking pissed off. "He messed up!"

"Hey! It wasn't my fault alright??!" Aaron yelled.

"Pft! Leave it to an idiotlike you to complete our mission.. We're doomed." Laya walked away. Aaron glares.

"So what exactly happened??" Jason asked.

"Well.. you see.. it's kinda a long story.."

"We're waiting for an explanation, Aaron." Ryan spoke up.

It took about 5 minutes the explain everything and the team members seemed more mad than before.

"You can't even kill properly!" Jason laughed.

"Well excuse me! YOU also failed to dispose her too you know!" Aaron yelled back..

"Haha you got told Jason." Thao said.

"Shut the fuck up."

"So what do you suppose we tell Voltaire??" Laya asked.

"Obviously not the whole truth. We'll just say Kai interfered, and some other stuff." Ryan said with his arms crossed and his eyes closed.

Suddenly, there was a beep from inside the tent. The Black Panthers all went inside and gathered around the coputer screen once again.

"So.. I assumed you took care of her??" Voltaire face popped up.

"Not exactly..." Ryan began.

"WHAT?! DID YOU NOT HEAR WHAT I SAID LAST TIME? I WANT HER KILLED OR ELSE! I'M WARNING YOU.. THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY YOUR LAST CHANCE.. FAIL AND FACE THE CONSEQUENCES." With that, the coputer screen went blank.

"That went well.." Aarom broke the silence.

"Yeah especially if he didn't even let us explain ourselves." Laya pointed out.

"I have an idea.." Thao said.

"Enlighten us." Jason said with extreme scarcasm.

Thao glared, but continued. "If it didn't work when we sent one out to kill her. Why not do some teamwork and sent all 5 of us after her?..."

Ryan smirked. "I like the sound of that..."

"What are we waiting for then? Let's get her!" Aaron headed out the tent, only to be pulled back by Jason.

"First, we need to organize and plan this very precisely. Our time will come if everything is planned out correctly. There's no room for mistakes in this game, and remember.. This is our LAST chance. We can't afford to screw this up." Thao finished off.

"Can't we just be a team without Voltaire's financial support?" Laya asked. "I'm tired of all the bad things he's making us do."

"Wouldn't we have already done that if it was that easy??" Ryan answered. "Now let's plan this." Laya finally gave in, and they all huddled to discuss their final plan...

****

"Thank god we're leaving tomorrow." Kenny said just before everyone hit the sack ready to call it a day.

Kai on the other hand was still wide awake. The images of someone trying to kill Serenity were still playing in his mind. 'Who could it be...' The only thing he see was that it was definitely a boy, and he had brownish hair. Kai turned around and glanced at the sleeping beauty next to him. He had the privilage of sleeping next to Serenity due to Ray's persistance. But nonetheless, Kai was pretty much content he was so close to her, for he felt the need to protect her. And eventually Kai too found sleep and drifting off into paradise.
