Chapter Ten

Chris and a little girl came dancing through door around six in the after noon.

"Doo A diddy diddy dum diddy doo!" Sara sang.

"Well, who do we have here?" She whipped around and stared at a blonde, blue eyed wonder, holding a dish towel.

Chris smiled and knelt down next to Sara, "This is my little sister, Sara. Sara this is my friend Jack."

Raiden smiled and bent down also, "Hello Sara, its really nice to meet you."

Sara held out her hand and waited for Raiden to accept it. He did and she finally spoke to him, "Now we're not acquaintances. Its nice to meet you too!"

Surprised by this child's vocabulary he laughed, "Well aren't you smart."

"You have no idea." Chris muttered as she walked past them with Sara's luggage into a spare bedroom.

She set down the bags on the bed and sat down with her hands in her face. "What am I going to do?"

"Yea Rosemary was a big cat, wasn't she." Raiden responded as he walked into the room. He smiled down after Sara and turned to Chris, "Hey what's wrong?"

She looked up at him, "Huh-oh no I'm just exhausted." She smiled, "That child prodigy tires you out quickly."

Raiden looked at her cautiously. It wasn't like her to lie, but here she was lying to him. He turned to shut the door so he could talk to her alone, "What's wrong?"

Chris stood up and straighten out her shirt, "I'm fine, I'm just really tired."

"Why are you lying to me?" Raiden looked at her sadly.

Chris was aghast at his keen insight, not that she was surprised, "I'm tired, is that a crime?"

Raiden shook his head, "I never thought you would betray my trust."

"What! Jack I never-"

"You did!" He interrupted, "You are! I told myself that after Rosemary's charade I wouldn't stand for it anymore! Now what's wrong?"

She took a step away from him and looked down at the ground, "Jack-"

He advanced toward her, "Chris is this about that guy at the CIA party?"

She was still backing away without even glancing at him.

"Chris! Answer me!" He was staring intently at her face.

Both of them were concentrating on either dodging or interrogating, that they didn't notice the bed behind them. Chris was the first to fall quickly followed by Raiden on top of her.

Raiden looked down at Chris's face. She was wide eyed and scared, oh how he wished that was the expression on her face.

He didn't want to lose what focus he had left on finding out what was wrong, but it was so difficult with her staring at him with such pain. He just wanted to help her.

"Chris, I just-I just..." He simply couldn't take it. "Chris tell me what's going on!"

"I can't!" She shouted. Raiden stared at her, "I can't..."

"Why?" He moved off her, but only to make her comfortable.

"Because if I do you'll be killed, he'll be killed and everything will be ruined." She sat up slowly, "It's going to end this time, I'll end it, even it kills me."

"Whoa hold on!" He knelt down in front of her, "Calm down. We can help you. Snake, Otacon, and I. We can help you. No one has to die, you especially."

Chris's face grew cold, "Raiden, stay out of my way or I'll put you out." She pushed by him and left.

ooohhh Chris is angry and Raiden's confused tch tch whatever are we going to do? PESTER ME! I'll update faster! thanks for reading!
