Chapter 8 - family history
Tyson had spent the last twenty minutes glaring at Kai, missing most of the film. Kai was taking it in his stride just focusing on his book refusing to rise to Tyson's bait.
I sighed as I turned back to the film. Because of Tyson's mood Max had chosen it which meant that it was probably a Disney, to be honest I wasn't watching it either just because I was staring at the screen doesn't mean that I was taking any of it in but Max and the chief seemed to be enjoying it. I was too preoccupied thinking about Kai. Silly, I know, but I think, no, correction I know I have a crush on her. I always admired his body, hey I'm not blind, but now I'm noticing and, I have to say it, enjoying her personality. The way she's protective whilst seeming so cold, the way she listens to the silences, just small things like that… which I never understood before I discovered some of her secrets, I wonder how many there are…
My musings were stopped by a yell from Max.
"Hey that was grate how about popcorn before the next one come on Tyson help me make it." He said grabbing Tyson and steering him into the kitchen.
Finally I thought as I saw Tyson dragged from the room. Although I know I wasn't showing it, he was seriously starting to get on my nerves. I think I've read the same page five times, but that may have something to do with Ray, who is lying on his stomach sprawled out in front of the fire, his back slowly rising and falling as he breathed, he really is gorgeous. It's sad that I can be distracted so easily, but it will pass, and then I'll be stronger harder to reach, harder to hurt. All I have to do is wait for him to get bored and don't do any thing to encourage it, and it will fade away.
Thud…Thud…
Thud…
There was a scrabble from Ray as he was taken by surprise and jumped up to get the door. As I reached the door I noticed that Kai was standing beside me, hand on the handle. He tilted his head a silent command to step back, as I moved back into the living space I saw Kai slowly open the door making sure that his foot was placed so that the door couldn't open with out her wanting it to.
"Hello, may I enter, I must speak to you." Said a deep voice Kai seemed to weigh him up before he opened the door granting him entrance, she slowly stepped across to the chairs being careful and precise with every movement.
"What do you want to say? Be quick." The large man stepped through the doorway closing it behind him he started to fidget under Kai's close scrutiny.
"I represent a law firm, a development has been brought to our attention… There has been a deed placed in out position, were upon her 17th birthday she will receive the contents of her parents property. However if she is not there to claim it then it will be passed on to her closest relative, her grandfather." Kai's eyes seamed to widen slightly as realisation struck.
"And what does this have to do with us?" Demanded Tyson from where he stood in the kitchen doorway.
"B-because the grandfather is Voltaire, and the child is Kassy Hitawarti. We can't seem to locate her and since you share the Hittawarti name we presumed that you could help us to locate her." Kai had shut her eyes and looked like she was pondering her answer after a few moments she spoke.
"My sister has been in hiding for a long time, I will contact her and update her on the change of events. Though I cant say what her answer will be." With that he slowly stood and stalked out of the hotel suite only pausing to close the door behind him.
------------------------------------------------------
"What the hell was that about." screamed Tyson as Kai entered the flat later that night "You have a sister! When exactly were you gunna tell us that huh!" yelled Tyson as he closely followed Kai through to the living space.
"My past is no concern of yours."
"What! We're your team… and lets not forget the last time you oh so wisely left things out about your past." Kai turned growling at Tyson,
"How dare you judge my actions." Her eyes seemed to burn into Tyson "Take some advice, let it drop." With that she slowly walked out to his room.
Should I follow her ... yes, no? I dunno she doesn't look like she wants to talk, but there's a difference between Tyson and me. Oh look now I'm going on a ego trip. Right, I've decided, I'll go through see how she is, and if she wants to talk then I'll listen but that's it… a piece offering might be good though…
I stepped into the darkened room "Kai are you there, I brought coffee."
"Why?"
"Why what? Why coffee or why am I here bringing you coffee." I said as I followed her voice through to the bathroom as I lent against the doorframe to the closed room. The door slowly swung open and as I looked in I saw Kai washing her face, the water dripping down her sharp features into the blue coloured water. As she looked up to meet my eyes I only just managed to catch my gasp of surprise. Her face was open, sharp and slender, feminine and incredibly beautiful. Kai's eyes went wide in surprise as she grabbed at the towel beside the sink and turned her back as she started to dry her face, scolding herself under her breath. "Kai I'm sorry I should have knocked." I babbled as I put the cup on the small table with her back still to me she spoke softly "No one should see me like this."
"Why Kai?" It rhymes!
Why indeed? I can't believe that he saw me with out my masks, naked, should I answer? "They show people who I am."
No I can't tell him it's my burden, its mine.
But he stood by me before when he found out what I was.
That's not the point.
As if sensing my confusion he stepped up behind me wrapping his arms about my shoulders "Listen Kai I... I won't lie to you, I am curious about your past, but I'm more interested in the present, about what you're going to do now. About you. Only tell me what you want, I'll listen but I won't judge, it's not my place, people shouldn't be judged on their pasts."
"It's a sign of my enslavement, they hide me, protect me, stop anyone seeing what's on the inside." Absolutely nothing. I'm empty only a shell of a human being… "Just go through I'll follow through in a minute." I said feeling relieved when my voice didn't waver. I returned to the mirror shocked at the small blush that had spread across my face. When did we become so comfortable around each other, when did I start not minding.
As I stepped back through to the room I noticed that Ray had put the lights on and was sitting cross-legged on the bed. "Apparently my grandfather will inherit a weapons making company unless Kassy Hitawarti appears out of no were, and signs the peaces of paper for the lawyers. You can imagine how much my grandfather wants that to happen."
"What do you think he'll do?"
"Try some more assassins, probably end up kidnapping me by threatening the blade breakers. A bit of the usual brain washing etcetera, etcetera." I turned to look at her open face he had a look of shock and deep sorrow. "Why does that surprise you? Don't look so sad about it."
"I'm sad because it doesn't surprise you, you accept it as normal. You could always try stopping him once and for all."
"No!"
"But Kai how can you miss this opportunity" said Ray sharply his former mood gone. "Because it's not an opportunity it's a weakness."
"But you could disguise yourself, testify, get those psycho's locked up and no one would know it was you. Even if they told who would believe, you could do so much."
"And then what disappear return to my normal life with hundreds of people staring at me with those pity filled eyes, No never. I'd prefer to be a arsehole than a sob story." I could feel my anger rising, ever since I'd escaped the first time I had avoided telling any one about my past it served no purpose it just made them think that they'd got close to me, that they were special, I wasn't going to elevate their egos.
Ray had stepped closer and spoke intensely. "But Kai could you live with your self with the knowledge that you handed that over to him on a silver plate, are you going to lose like that!" I growled low in my throat but stopped when I felt Rays breath wisp across my face, making all of the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. I looked down into those golden orbs I couldn't let Voltaire destroy what I had discovered I watched as my head lowered itself down to Rays What the hell, I got a hold of my self only to feel the kiss deepen and Ray respond, wrapping an arm around my waist and moving closer so that our body's were entwined I hesitated at the shock of Rays response. Giving Ray time to respond making my tongue retreat. Smirking into the kiss I started to counter his actions, slowly realising the need for air. As we broke apart I smiled dragging much needed air into my deprived lungs Ray was also panting slightly with a delectable flushed look on his face.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
Echoed around the hotel complex, followed by a wail that obviously came from the room next door.
"AAHHH Noooo DIZZZZZY"
Kai dragged her eyes away from Rays golden orbs, sighed and said, "I'd better sort out the domestic before Kenny tries anything drastic to get her back… I'll only be a moment." Ray nodded giving her a small smile to say that he understood, as Kai, shivering slightly at the loss of body heat, walked out of the room.
Meanwhile, in a room opposite Kai and Ray's window Lee bashed through the doorway, "Mariah what's all the noise about?" A pink head of hair turned to face him eyes glowing with rage binoculars clasped in her hand.
"He's stolen our Ray!"
Kai stepped back into the room closing the door and leaning heavily against it sighing. Hearing a rustling sound Kai turned towards the source and saw Ray lying curled up asleep on the bed. He moved a tanned arm outward causing a faint rustling noise. Kai smiled as she walked up to the bed and carefully removed Ray's shoes and pulled some spare blankets over him. As she lay down to sleep next to him she ran her fingers gently along his face marvelling at it.
As Kai's breathing became steady Ray opened his eyes. Giving Kai a soft smile moving his blankets so they covered both of them he snuggled into the thick sheets and fell asleep.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
