A/N: Uhm, what can I say? This is my little chapter warning thingy. There are quite a few mentions of homosexuality, if you catch them – a rather blunt joke on masturbation and -gasp- rape. Of course I don't describe it or anything don't worry. Just so you know. Oh and I def forgot a disclaimer on the last chapter, maybe the one before that too. So, I know I don't own Harry Potter or anything like that.

Chapter Four: Loyalty

I watched her sleep silently beside me. She had been reading some sort of horror book she had found on my shelf, although I don't remember having it or keeping it, and demanded that I watch her fall asleep. She was scared "shitless" as she said. I didn't understand. She had, however, apologized profusely for interrupting my one-way conversation with a dear friend of mine. I didn't mind that she had snuck in, but I was a little upset that she didn't obey me. She was human though and curious. "Mmrrrfff..." I heard her mutter, curling up more comfortably in my nightshirt.

I had slept through most of the night, but she must have gotten up since she now lay beside me. I quickly realized that she was scared of her horror novel and of being alone. Maybe it was just because she didn't know what was going on. I touched her soft face and ran my fingers against her cheek. I could see her eyes moving around deep in her dream. I couldn't protect her there, but I doubted that I could protect her anywhere else either. "Kali," I whispered, removing my hand from her cheek. "It's time to get up."

She murmured again, but ignored me. Sleep was more interesting than I was. She was attractive when she wasn't cowering. When she was sleeping she seemed to have more confidence and a pretty smile; shy, but still pretty. She reminded me of my sleeping love, too much really. I ran my fingers across her cheek again, carefully in case she broke. "A couple more hours, I quit work remember?" she murmured, snuggling up against my chest.

She was used to sleeping with someone. I never asked if anyone would miss her if she would be gone for a couple days, but she never brought it up either. Maybe she wanted some of her clothes; I had never bothered to ask either. "But I have to go to work," I whispered into her ear.

I noticed her eyebrows twitch and her eyes begin to open. "God dammit, I'm still here," she said.

Her blue eyes filled with sorrow as she sat up from the bed. "Sorry," I said. "Did you expect me to take you home while you were asleep?"

"No," she said. "I still thought it was just a terrible dream."

"I think it is safe to assume it is not," I said.

She scoffed and kept her back towards me. She is acting like it is my fault that she is in denial. "Would we be able to go back to my house after school?" she asked. "I wouldn't mind speaking to a couple people and picking up a few things."

"Just so long as you don't say too much. Say you are going on vacation or something similar," I replied. "I am going to shower though; try not to walk in this time."

I noticed her pale cheeks flush, only for a moment. "Okay," she said. "Should I change again?"

"I would recommend it," I replied. "Your dress is done if you'd like to wear it."

I slid into the washroom and watched her eye the dress as I began to close the door. "When did she drop it off?" she asked loudly, in case I had closed the door.

"When you were reading," I replied, closing the door.

She was silent. She didn't hum or anything. I started to undress, absorbing all of the silence I could. Kali was an okay person to be with. She didn't crave as much attention as I had expected. I'd still rather be alone. I turned on the shower and stepped in, letting the cool water rush across of me. I yawned enthusiastically and threw shampoo into my hair. Maybe I could convince Potter to take her back to her house. My ears perked up. What was that? I wished I hadn't read her novel after her. I stepped from the shower onto the cool floor. I watched the water drip onto the floor. I heard various smashed and a yelp that I did not recognize. I took down a towel and wrapped it around my waist. I had no wand, but I hoped I'd be okay anyway. I slowly pulled the door open. Kali, of course, was not herself. Large pale wings sprouted from her back and her face was longer. Her teeth didn't seem like they could fit inside her mouth, but it might have been because she was tearing through the chest of her victim. Her eyes were fully red and she turned to look at me. She stood up fully, eyeing me carefully. Her body was still Kali's. She hadn't transformed fully, but was still a monster. Her nails had become much longer and I suspected sharper. She didn't attack me though, just stood there. My nightshirt was on her, but torn. I decided not to yell at her though; I doubted that it would actually help. "S-s-s-s," she attempted to say something to me, but nothing that could be understood came out of her mouth.

"Kali," I said, meeting her gaze. "Calm down, okay? He's dead now."

She seemed to hiss at me as her wings outstretched. Everything started to twitch. It looked like she was arguing with herself. Slowly, she changed back to how I tried to remember her. She approached me and wrapped her arms around me. I sighed and rubbed her head. "It's okay," I said, feeling her tears against my chest.

Her hands were like ice against my back, but I refused to admit it. She didn't say anything, but I suspected nothing. It's perfectly normal that she's upset. I wrapped my arms around her and lifted her up. "I think you should take a bath or shower. I'll talk to Dumbledore about what happened, okay?"

Kali nodded, but still didn't let go of me. Merlin, she even needs me to take her to the washroom. Can't she do anything by herself? I carried her into the washroom and placed her on her feet. "The shower is still on," I said. "You can just step in."

She held onto herself and her blue eyes stayed close to the ground. I couldn't believe how white her eyes were, even though she had just been crying. Her eyes rose to look at me. I'm not sure why I just stood there, daftly looking at her. Once again she approached me, her hips swayed slowly as she walked. Her cold look sent chills up my spine and not the kind of chills I liked. She pushed herself up against me and pulled my head down to be closer. She was shorter than I was. She pushed her cold lips against mine. For a single moment, I enjoyed the icy goodness that was the dark goddess. She pulled lightly on the towel that was wrapped around my waist. Kali reminded me so much of my slumbering love, I shocked myself when I pulled away. I looked at her for a moment, feeling my heart long to be against her. Her eyes were a bright blue surrounded by pure white and the curves on her body were perfect. Perfection. I hesitated. Perfection? I backed away. Kali is far from perfect. "You!" I pointed at the beast in front of me. "Bring Kali back!" I said, close to a snarl. "You are not welcome in my chamber."

Her mouth grew longer once more as sharp teeth started to appear. Her teeth didn't seem in proportion with her mouth. She stepped closer to me, snapping furiously. "You wouldn't bite me," I said over-confident. "You'd be put-down if you attacked me."

She snapped once more, as if to agree, and then passed out on the floor. She stood motionless for a couple moments. I leaned over her trying to see if she would breathe. I wished that I had a mirror to put up against her nose, to see if she was breathing. I heard parents did that to their babies, just to check. Not that I'd know that. Her eyes fluttered for a moment. I spoke before she could say anything, "I recommend you shower, and I am going out for a few minutes. Stay in the washroom," I said calmly.

She blinked. "Uhm," she looked around. "Okay..."

I nodded and left, quickly. A flick of my wand dressed myself poorly and I rushed to Dumbledore's office. Every odd look from a student, I feared my hair was greasier than normal from the shampoo that hadn't been washed out, made me angrier. Harry Potter had a rather stunned expression on his face. "Sir!" he said and started to keep pace beside me.

"Not now, Mr. Potter," I replied.

"Are you okay, sir?" he asked.

I stopped moving and watched Harry stumble to keep his balance. "Do I look okay?" I asked. "Please, Mr. Potter, I'm in a rush and I don't have time."

"Okay," he calmly.

I went back to my quick pace. By the time I reached Albus' office I was furious. "That monster kissed me!" I slammed my hands onto an unsuspecting Albus' desk. "It pushed its lips against mine and kissed me! There was probably a bit of tongue too!"

Albus' eyebrows rose dramatically, I was shocked that they stayed on his face. "Pardon Severus?" he asked. "I'm afraid I do not know what the monster is and what that has to do with tongue kissing. Has Lucius done something?"

I moved my head away from his for a moment and fixed my hair. Deep breaths Severus. You need to calm down. "Lucius? No, no. Kali's monster form mauled someone in my room. Shit," I cursed. "There's a body in my room and it needs to be attended to immediately! I'll tell you about the Kali situation after that."

Dumbledore stood up from his chair. "If not during? Will Kali be there?" he questioned and began to walk with me.

"She will be there," I replied. "I told her to shower."

We passed Harry Potter, but he didn't seem to notice us. That didn't matter at all, though. I opened the door to my chamber and say Lucius standing over the corpse. I slammed the door in Albus' face, so he wouldn't come in. "Lucius," I said, holding in more anger. "Is this man yours?"

"Was," Lucius replied. "Past-tense. But no I'm afraid he wasn't. If I planned to try to kill you, it would have been better."

"Me?" I asked. "I thought you'd be after the girl."

"If it was me that sent an attacker I would have gone after the girl," he replied. "I don't think he was after the girl."

"Do you know anything about this?" I asked, pointing at the corpse on the ground.

"No."

"Then why are you here?" I questioned, jabbing his chest lightly.

"Oh, touchy are we?" Lucius smirked, making me want to punch him. His hand touched mine, which caused me to feel uncomfortable. "There's a meeting this afternoon. I came to tell you. If you come bring that thing with you," his words dripped with hate.

I pulled away from his hand and looked away from his loathing eyes. "Do I have to?" I said. "I'll lock my room so she can't leave."

"It is supposed to come," Lucius said. "It hasn't received any discipline yet, and it needs to get it."

"She doesn't need discipline. She needs to find out what happened to her," I said.

"That's your opinion," he replied and tried to steal my hand back. "Just bring it. You wouldn't want anyone thinking that you were a traitor."

I ducked my hands away into my pockets, casually so he wouldn't think I was doing it on purpose. "Fine, I'll bring her. Could you leave? I have classes soon and I have quite a mess to clean up," I asked.

He stepped back. Damn, I offended him. "Okay," he nodded.

"Wait," I said, taking a deep breath. "I'm sorry. I just haven't been sleeping. This whole thing is a mess."

I can't have Lucius against me. "It's fine," he smiled and nudged me lightly. "It'll get better. I'll see you later."

I nodded a goodbye and watched him leave through the fireplace. I quickly charmed it so no one could come in or go out. I can't believe I forgot to charm the fireplace last night. I opened the door back up so Dumbledore could come in. "Lucius didn't take the body?" he asked.

"It doesn't seem that way. How can we clean this up?" I asked.

Albus sighed. "I'll take care of it. You might want to check on Kali; I can hear tired tears," he said.

How about I take care of the body and you take care of the girl? "Okay," I said and wandered over to the bathroom door. I knocked on it. "Kali?" I questioned.

I heard nothing, but Albus was usually right when it came to everything. I opened the door. She was curled into a fetal position, naked. I tapped her on the head lightly, just to get her attention. "I just wanted to help..." she said, lifting her head from her chest, but turned it away from me.

I can't put up with this. "By killing someone?" I crossed my arms.

"You're going to scold me for having a split personality?" she questioned, but still didn't make direct eye contact.

"Well, maybe it's time I lay down some rules in my home," I said.

"It's more like a couple of rooms," she snarled.

I crouched down close to the ground, to stare at her. "It may just be a couple of rooms, but it's where I live for most of the year; it's my home. If you're invited into it, you should be kind and follow the rules," I said, sternly.

Her blue eyes shook, but still refused to lock with me. "I didn't mean to kill him," she taking deep breathes. "I couldn't control myself. I saw him trying to get into the washroom and the next thing I knew I was on the washroom floor, looking up at you and covered in blood." She doesn't remember anything. "I just got up to check to see if you were back and I saw the corpse. That's when I knew I had done something." She started to cry, hard, and lunged into my chest. "I-I didn't want to kill anyone," her eyes becoming a waterfall of sorrow. "I just want to be normal. I just want to go home."

I cradled her in my arms and sat down more comfortably on the ground. I pulled down a towel and wrapped it around her. "We'll go pick up some clothes and things from your house, okay? I promise."

She nodded, resting her head against me. "Thank you," she said. "Who was he?"

"I don't know," I said. "I had seen him around though."

"Did I hurt you by killing him?" she asks.

"Maybe," I said. "Not at the moment."

She snuggled close into me, wiping her eyes. "I don't want to hurt you," she said. "I can't believe you put up with me."

"I don't have a choice my dear," I replied. "But it is all right nonetheless."

Albus stepped in, and looked down at us on the floor. "It is all clean," he said. "Why don't you take the day off, Severus and take Kali back to her house."

"That's kind of you, but is there another escort? I was going to start an assignment for the first years today," I said. "Mr. Potter perhaps?"

That way he won't be in my class. "One day won't hurt," Albus replied. I really don't want to have to interact with muggles. "You did promise the girl."

"Okay I'll go," I snapped.

Albus smiled. "Have a good day then," he said and promptly left the room.

I lifted Kali off of me and began to wash my hair in the sink. "If you don't want to go, you don't have to," Kali said, realizing that I wasn't really interested.

"It's fine," I said. "You may want to put on some clothes."

"Actually I planned on going naked," she joked. "Would you mind?"

"If you had a figure," I replied, thinking aloud. Shit.

She was silent for a moment. I lifted my head up from the sink to see her looking at me from the window. Her eyes darted away. "Should I just wear the dress then? Will I look funny? I realize wizards and such wear different clothes than we do," she said.

At least she isn't in denial about magic or about her not having a figure. "Your dress should be fine," I said. "I have some of my own clothes to change into."

"Do you think I could change alone?" she asked.

"I've seen you nude before, what is the difference?" I questioned.

"I just don't feel comfortable," she struggled to keep her towel up.

I nodded and left. The closet doors opened as I approached and I searched for clothes. I'm not sure how long I was staring at the mix of horrid attires, but Kali touched me to break the trance. I turned to face her better. I mentally complimented Professor Sprout's sewing skills. "It looks nice," I said, calmly, keeping all of my compliments on the inside of me.

It was a plain form-fitting black dress, with a mesh back, sleeves and bit of the front, but nothing of importance was showing. "It's rather dressy, don't you think?" she asked, tugging slightly at the sleeves.

"You look nice," I said.

"I caught that one the first time," she said. "What-"

"No, first I complimented the dress and then I complimented you," I said.

She crossed her arms. "I wasn't aware that you were able to compliment someone's appearance," she said. "Let me try again. What are you going to wear? Maybe something dressy so our outfits can match? I don't want to look like I'm going to a wedding alone."

"Don't muggles usually wear black to funerals?" I said, watching her dig through my entire wardrobe.

"Normal muggles do, but I'm not really fond of weddings," she replied.

"You'd rather go to a funeral?"

"I'd rather wear jeans," she said.

"Well, I quite like what you are wearing, for a funeral or for a wedding. Or for any occasion really," I said.

"I have noted this, really. You like the dress and I do not. Wear this," she said, shoving a suit onto my chest.

I nodded and started to unbutton my shirt. "What are we going to say we're going to then, a wedding or a funeral?" I asked.

"Just a party," she replied. "May I ask for a favour?"

"I may not do it, but you are welcome to ask," I said.

"Can you use magic to dress yourself?" she questioned.

I nodded and stopped buttoning. "Yes," I said. "Well I can when I'm concentrating. Sometimes it can get rather tangled, but it can be comical at times."

She smiled and I could see her eyes pictures me in some sort of awkward situation. "Would you try for me?" she asked. "I've only really witnessed your potions class and there isn't much magic in that."

"Oh," I expected her favour to be much worse. "Of course."

I waved my wand and muttered a slightly spell. My shirt and pants both unbuttoned themselves and flew off into a different room. The clothes that Kali had picked out started to place themselves onto me causing my eyes to watch which part of my body to move next. "You have swift reflexes," she commented when I was fully clothed. "That is awesome though."

"Shall we go then?" I asked.

Kali nodded and followed me into a different room to exit from. Using floo powder we went to different house that I had normally used to meet Lucius. Kali took a deep breath as she emerged from the fireplace. "I will never get used to that," she said. "I'll show you where my apartment is."

I followed her out onto the street. I took a deep breath into the air and the sun shone brightly into my eyes. I kept my head lowered, hoping that my hair would block it. Kali seemed excited to get back to her apartment and I followed closely behind her. We stopped at a building with various buttons on one side of it. She pushed one of them with a name printed on it. I thought it was illegible. "Yes?" I jumped slightly as a voice emerged from the wall.

"Hey," Kali said into the wall. "Let me come up."

"Kali?" the voice seemed concerned. "Are you okay? Where have you been?"

"An old friend stopped into town and I didn't get a chance to phone," she replied to the muffled voice.

A buzz went off and we were allowed to enter the building. I followed Kali up various stairs and then a door with "8" nailed to it caused Kali to stop. She knocked on it. A few clicks sounded and a man, well more like a boy, answered the door. "George!" Kali exclaimed and threw her arms around him.

He smiled and returned her hug. He wasn't very tall, but still about an inch taller than her. He had curly red hair that hung on his back. If it wasn't for a small beard that kept to his chin, I would have thought that he was in fact a she. He was rather chunky, but not to an unhealthy extent. "I was so worried," he said, loosening his grip on her, but not letting go. "Is this your friend?"

Kali looked to me and smiled. She didn't look at me like she looked at him. I suspected they were in a relationship. "Yes," she said. "This is Severus."

I nodded and stuck out my hand for him to shake. "It is George, right?" I asked.

"Yes," he shook my hand. "It is."

I followed the two into her room. It was much smaller than my chamber, so I wasn't sure why she had complained earlier. Curiosity took over as I looked around the room. I glanced at Kali and George, who were packing her things, just to make sure they weren't watching me. There were various paintings staked up around the room. I looked at the mixes of different styles and mediums, most of which used the same woman as a model. After checking to see if the two were preoccupied, I sifted through the different paintings. The woman in the picture was always in different positions, different clothes, different hair, with different people and in different locations, but they all resembled Kali. Several of the pictures had her nude, but she looked heavier. "Oh, those ones are sold. Are you looking to buy something?" George asked.

I smiled. Damn, they noticed. "Maybe," I said. "What else do you have?"

"Well, what are you looking for?" George asked.

"Something with nudity I think, for the bathroom. That way if I really need to-"

George started to laugh; I just stared. He stopped rather quickly. "You are joking right?" he asked, raising a brow.

"You didn't let me finish," I said. "But yes, I was joking."

He smiled half heartedly, not appreciating my joke. Kali had let out a chuckle though. "Are you interested in buying then? I just picked up a lot of sales, suddenly people like my style."

I think I'll just come out and say it. "Did Kali model them?" I asked.

George seemed a little stunned that I had asked. "Yes, most of them. Despite what I like to tell her, her body is imperfect which makes her a perfect model. She is gorgeous of course," he slid his arm around her. "But not the kind of gorgeous you'd find in magazines. Anyway, everyone loves her now."

"Do they realize that it's the same person?" I asked, flipping through the paintings again so I wouldn't look at her. So I wouldn't look at them together.

"I think so," George said. "It's not a big deal. Those ones are sold though."

"I'll tell you what," I said. "While Kali is in my custody I shall paint a picture of her as well. Then we can trade."

"I don't mean to be rude," George said. "But why would I really want yours?"

"For the same reason I'd want one of yours," I said.

"Which is?"

"Kali," I replied calmly.

"Whelp! I'm packed," Kali said. "I'll send you some letters."

She pulled on me to leave. "It was nice meeting you," I said.

"Severus," he said as Kali pulled me through the doorway. "I would like to exchange. I will save a good one for you. It was nice meeting you as well."

I smiled and Kali shut the door. As soon as we were out of the building Kali slapped me across the face. Stunned, I looked at her. Her fists were clenched and her teeth were gritted. "You are so lucky I like you," she said. "I would break you nose if I could! But I think someone beat me to the punch. How dare you say that?"

"How dare I say what? I'm afraid I don't deserve a slap except for the masturbating comment. Plus, I wouldn't need a photo if you're going to be peeping in on me every once and a while," I snarled, letting Professor Snape take over.

"You know that was a mistake. I just don't like people making a fuss over me, that's all," she replied, shoving the suitcases into my arms.

I watched Kali start walking in a random direction. "What?" I asked, and picked up my pace to catch up with her. "Would you prefer that I don't paint a picture then?"

She sighed. "No, that's fine," she said. "Just pretend I didn't say anything and I'm sorry for slapping you. Would you mind if we stop at the donut shop? I should let them know why I'm not in."

"No, I don't mind," I glanced at my watch. "Do you want go out for supper or something afterwards?" I asked. "I have a meeting to go to and I have around an hour to waste. I will pay of course."

"Okay," she replied. "Let's just skip the donut shop then. George'll call Sidney and let him know what's up."

"Would you mind if we go to a not muggle restaurant?" I asked. "I don't have any muggle money."

She laughed lightly. "I'm glad I actually know what muggle means," she said. "It could be like an all homosexual restaurant or something."

I flinched, but then smiled at her. "So you don't mind then?"

"Not at all," she replied.

We walked to the restaurant and we walked in together. She had a pretty smile on her face and dropped jokes to mock my words. "Ah Mr. Snape," replied one of the waiters who knew me well. "Are you in with the Malfoy party tonight?"

Tonight? "No," I said. "I am not. Lucius Malfoy is here?"

"Yes," he replied. "Do you wish to sit near him?"

"The opposite actually. Is that okay?" I asked.

"That is fine, sir," he smiled. "We already have a table ready for you and your female friend."

I watched the waiter wink at Kali as he led us to our table. She sat down in the chair across from me. "What should I order?" she asked. "Do you recommend anything?"

Thoughts of what they were going to do to her filled my mind. "Do you like desserts?" I asked. "The desserts are quite lovely."

"Well, I haven't had anything to eat today," she replied. "Isn't it unhealthy to just eat desserts?"

"Sure is," I said. "But one day will not hurt." If she's weak, maybe she'll pass out quickly and she will have to remember less.

"Okay," she said. "I think I will get various cakes. What are you going to get?" I watched her eyes dart across the dessert section of the menu. "Ice cream? We could always share."

"I'll get ice cream," I said. "We can share."

"Chocolate?" she asked. "I can never get enough chocolate."

"I actually like the orange ice cream," I replied. "But I can-"

"Orange ice cream? I did not think they had that in restaurants! Forget chocolate."

"Both," I said. "We'll get both."

"Okay," she smiled. "What kind of cake do you like?" she asked. "Orange as well? Chocolate? Oh there's even strawberry."

Another waiter came up to us. "Are you ready to order?" he asked, raising an eyebrow at Kali for a quick moment.

"I'm ordering for him," Kali said, taking my menu from me.

She whispered the different orders and pointed to them on the menu, but made it so I couldn't hear. The waiter left with our menus. "Shouldn't I be ordering for you since I am paying?" I asked

"Nope," she replied. "It's not fun that way. So what is this meeting tonight about?" she asked, leaning over the table.

"I'm not sure. We usually have a lot of gathering; you're supposed to come with me," I said.

"I am?" she asked. "Why?"

"I'm not sure," I said. "But I'll be there for you."

"This isn't a last meal or something, is it?" she questioned with a worried look in her blue eyes.

"No," I replied. "I would have gotten you an actual meal if that was the case."

"Good," she said with a smile. "Topic change."

Before Kali could even think of a new topic, Lucius approached us. "I hear you're avoiding me Severus," he said coldly.

"Well she isn't on a chain," I said returning his coldness.

He raised a lip. "That's fine because we're leaving now anyway," he said.

"But I just ordered," Kali said. "I haven't eaten all day."

"That's fine," Lucius said. "You had my son's hand a couple days ago."

Several other Death Eaters appeared from behind Lucius and picked up Kali. "Severus!" she yelped. "You're not going to make them do this, are you?"

Of course, we were in a Death Eater restaurant, so no one would try to help her. "Where's your loyalty Severus?" Lucius asked, raising a brow at me.

I stood up from the chair. "I'll follow you," I said.

"Severus!" tears started to stream down Kali's face. "You just said you'd be there for me."

I looked away from her and follow Lucius to our head quarters downstairs. I turned around to see Kali's eyes disappear into another room. "Severus!" she still screamed out for me.

What was I thinking? I can't help her. "She won't attack you," Lucius said.

"What?" I asked daftly.

"She won't transform to attack you," Lucius replied and began to undress me.

"So?" I tried not to think of what they had planned.

Lucius laughed. "So?" he said between guffaws. "You're going to rape her."

"I'm what?"

"Merlin, Severus. You're acting like you've never done this before," he said, pulling off my shirt. "She's no one special, just another girl."

"But-"

"But nothing. You're not going to kill her or anything. Just fuck around with her a bit. Show her who is boss. You shouldn't have to buy her ice cream," Lucius began to unbutton my pants.

"And I suspect I have to do this in front of everyone," I asked.

"Do you know some gay painter has been painting her nude? She looks good with a few more pounds on her. I hate seeing a girl's ribs," he said. "I'm sure she's used to it."

"Lucius I don't want to do this. I like her," I said.

"Not in a relationship way, right? Because you have someone," he replied.

"Not in a relationship way," I echoed. "She's just so sweet. She cried after she had realized what she had done."

"After she realized what she had done. She has no clue what she's doing. She needs discipline. That's what you job is," he said.

"Lucius," I said. "Please, don't make me do this."

He stood up to make eye contact with me. His eyes still made me weak when they stared deeply at me. "I'm not the one making you," he said. "If I could stop this I would. You know that as much as I do."

I felt like I was going to explode, or more like implode. There was nothing neither of us could go. "Okay," I took a deep breath. "It isn't any different."

"Of course not," Lucius flashed a white-toothed smile. "I'll be right there too, just in case she changes." He poked some skin on my side. "You sill look good."

I felt my cheeks burn, but I pretended that he had said nothing. As I stepped into the main room, I tried to keep my head raised. It was hard since Kali was chained nude to the ground with tears covering her face. There was a bit on her ankle where they had chained her. Her head lowered slightly as I walked up towards her. I reached out to grab her, but she moved away. I heard most of the Death Eaters scream at the excitement. Damn savages. I cursed them mentally and grabbed Kali's wrist and pulled her close to me, hard. "Don't make this difficult," I whispered harshly. "Let's just get it over with. I don't want to hurt you."

She just cried, but fell limp on the ground. I leaned in and pressed my lips against hers. I slid my tongue into her mouth for a moment, just to catch a reaction, but she pressed back. I couldn't help but smile. I pulled away and started to do what I was put there to actually do.

A/N: Anyways, there it is! I hope you enjoyed it.

Thanks to my reviewers DeathlyNightshade, Sesshomaru's Angel and Smiley Face3! One day I'll make a purse out of the reviews, like I plan on doing with "Snapricot" labels and movie ticket stubs. Maybe Kali should have one of those purses as well. Hmm…
Oh and to Smiley Face3: Everything shall be answered, kind of soon. I've typed up to chapter… er… seven, I think and finally some things fall into place. I don't really remember what happens between that and this, but I'm sure it's exciting.
Oh and since I do type ahead, there should be updates as long as ffnet is running, even if I'm rather busy.
Thanks so much for reading!!
