-------------------------

It had been a day and a half since Hilary was taken off the streets and brought into an underground world of sorrow.
Another fighting match was tomorrow night...and the dank tunnels seemed to be full of more life.

"I wonder what Tyson and the others are up to....do they know I'm gone?"

The brunette thought to herself, bringing her knees to her chest in a vain effort to stay warm. There was short scream from outside, and then a loud crashing sound. Hilary stood up and rushed to the door, pressing her ear against the aged wood.

Whatever it was, it had stopped now.

The brunette sighed and turned around.

She had been confined in what looked to be a library for the time being. She walked over to a large bookcase and scanned the spines of the various books.

She stopped at something wedged between two old books, and cocked her head in curiosity. "What's this? It's definitely not a book!" She told herself, reaching out to it.

With a few tugs, the object came free, and Hilary sat down on the floor to examine it. It was a folder, and inside contained pictures and documents, all pertaining to one person.

Hilary gasped as she looked through the pictures. They were all of Kai!

She stared at each one of them in fascination. The pictures documented just about everything Kai does for a day. There were pictures of him walking out of a school building, his green jacket thrown over his shoulders and his eyes looking off to his right. Another one was of him buying food from a store.

Hilary noticed that in every single picture, Kai was looking around his surroundings, as if he had suspected someone was following him.

The brunette smiled sadly, tears forming in the corners of her eyes as she continued to examine the pictures. Kai had completely changed from the teenager he had been 3 years ago. It was almost as if his soul had left his body behind, and all that remained was a hollow shell, not capable of happiness or pleasure, but only feeling pain.

A loud sound cracked in the hallway, causing the girl to jump up from her seat in surprise. Quickly, she scooped the pictures and papers back into the folder and stuffed it in between the books she had found it in.

There was another snap, and then a cry of pain.
Hilary winced as the sounds continued for a few more minutes, and finally, they stopped.

Making her way cautiously to the door, she cracked it open slightly and peered out.
The guard that once stood there had vanished, so Hilary stepped into the hallway.

"Now's my chance to try and get out of here....but I have to find Kai first!" She told herself. The brunette walked off to her left, down a dark and cold hallway, hoping it would lead her to Kai.

After what seemed like forever, Hilary walked into a new hallway, this one with glass doors separating the hall from cell like rooms.

Immediately, a horrible feeling was conjured up in her stomach, and fear raced through her mind. She took a deep breath and shook her head.

"I have to be brave here....no matter what it feels like....Kai needs to get help!" She told herself.

The brunette began to proceed down the hall, passing each cell slowly and examining the contents.

She came to an occupied cell. A figure threw himself against the wall, starling Hilary as she treaded cautiously through the hallway.

She pivoted to her left, just in time to see a large man run straight into the glass wall that held him captive for a second time. He let out a terrible scream, which was slightly muffled through the thick glass. He disappeared in the shadows for a short time before hurling himself at the impenetrable wall yet again.

In a defeated cry, the man fell to the ground in a heap and let his tears run free.

Hilary grabbed at her heart, her emotions running high, and took a few steps backward, only to run into another wall.

"The absence of light does things to people...it changes them. You should escape while you have the chance."

The brunette jumped at the sudden voice, spinning around and peering in the cell she had backed in to.

A figure laid on a small cot, his arm dragging on the cold ground. Spikes of blue hair stuck up at all angles around his head, making him easily recognizable to the brunette.

"Kai!" She exclaimed, pounding against the glass. "Are you alright?!"
She scanned her surroundings for something to open up the cell, and found a small red button on the wall next to her.

Quickly, she slammed her fist against the button, and the glass wall slid down into the floor. "Kai!" She cried again, rushing to his side.

She tried desperately to hold back her tears as she saw the trickles of blood, running from his head and mouth.

A small gash under his left eye had caused the skin around it to swell slightly, and dried blood caked the inside of his ears, alerting Hilary to the fact that something was seriously wrong with him.

"Kai?" She asked, gently shaking the teen. Lifeless crimson eyes cracked open slightly as a soft moan escaped his dry lips.

"Come on Kai...get up." Hilary sniffled, clutching the arm that was draped over his abdomen.

"Please Kai...please get up!" Tears poured down her cheeks, dripping softly onto the injured boy's tattooed face.

"Lets get out of here...lets go home...please get up Kai!"

"Leave me be Hilary." Kai's sudden voice startled her slightly.

"No Kai...you gotta get out of here!"

"I said leave me!" He nearly shouted.

Hilary froze in shock, her hands dropping lifelessly to her sides.

"You've associated yourself in this world long enough...get out while you still can." Kai closed his eyes with a deep sigh.

"No!" She said firmly after a moment. "I'll escape only when you're with me!"

The blue haired teen forced himself up in a sitting position, grunting in discomfort as his skin pulled tight against his sore muscles and bones.

Hilary found herself unable to stare into those listless crimson pools any longer, and instead stared at her reflection in the glossy collar around his neck.

"The Kai Hiwatari you once knew is dead...leave me to die in the world I belong."
