Don't Hurt My Kitten

Chapter 9

Kai's POV

'What am I gonna do? Rei's possessed, and he's after Dranzer; which most likely means he's after everyone else's bitbeasts too. But the thing is, it's not him. It's not him! That creepy women was…. controlling him. She's warped his mind and he's completely helpless to what she makes him do.'

Kai walked out of the cell, rubbing his wrists where the roped had been tied.

'What do I do now? I can't get through to him; so how am I gonna save him and everyone's bitbeasts, too! This is too much, I mean, how could this happen? At first I thought Tala was the one who was running show…. then, it was supposedly Voltaire who was…nooooow, it's this….this….this wacked up evil lady! Who's next! …. Ugh…. my nerves can't take much more of this.'

After walking down a large corridor for what seemed like forever, Kai saw the two big metal doors, which he was dragged in when he got here. 'Funny, I thought there would be more security…..What's going on?'

With Rei…

"Rei, where have you been? I called for you 15 minutes ago. I wont tolerate disobedience; so make sure it doesn't happen again. Understood?"

Voltaire was sitting in at his desk, his back towards Rei. The latter was standing right in front the desk.

"Yes, Lord Voltaire."

"Rei, you wouldn't happen to know where Tala has gone to, would you?" Voltaire said, with of a hint of suspicion in his tone. "I haven't seen him anywhere since the day after you arrived. I'm beginning to worry." The old man chuckled deviously when he finished speaking. "Rei?"

"I haven't seen him either, Sir."

Voltaire suddenly spun around in his chair to face Rei. "Very well, then. I'll deal with that matter later. Right now though, there is another matter at hand, my boy. You're leaving tonight. You will arrive in Hong Kong late tonight and will check into the hotel I've chosen for you. I've already had your things sent ahead, so all you need is your blade. Be at the helicopter pad at 7:00pm sharp. Am I clear?"

"Yes, Lord Voltaire."

"Good. I will see you tomorrow afternoon at the stadium. There, I will explain to you what you are expected to do. Now, go and train; you have a long day ahead of you and you need to be prepared…..all though…..I sincerely doubt there'll be any problems. Oh, and do keep an eye out for Tala, would you? I wouldn't want him to miss out on the next few days." As Voltaire finished his sentence, he slowly turned back around in his chair, his back facing Rei once more.

Rei walked out of the office and went straight back to his quarters. He locked the door and stood with his back against the door, breathing heavily. He was covered in cold sweat. Suddenly he clutched his head and was on his knees on the floor. "I…wont listen to you…..anymore……I…wont….", he struggled to get the words out in between his labored breathing. With one hand on the floor for support and the other clutching his head, he shut his eyes tightly and began to quietly weep.

Suddenly a red light burst out of his pocket, from his blade, and materialized in front of him. Sitting casually on his bed, Maidina smirked at the suffering Neko. She got up and bent down to Rei. She began to rub his back in a soothing manner and pulled him onto her lap while she sat on the floor. Rei had lost consciousness, but he still whimpered in his slumber.

"There, there. It'll be all right, child. I know this is painful, I know…..but now, it is time…..time for you to stop resisting me…….you've been fighting for control this entire time………and you've been losing the entire time as well. So I have an offer for you, my child. Let me help you……let me make you stronger…..and more powerful…..Let me take control and help stop this constant torment…….Let me in, Rei…………………………Let me in……………….."

Just as she finished, she placed her hand on Rei's forehead. Suddenly, his eyes burst open, yet this time they weren't red or gold………they were pure white……..blank of all emotions. Rei still continued to whimper, more loudly now, than before.

Okay, I know, it wuz reeely short and ya'll deserve a longer chap, but ya gotta understand, I'm running out of ideas here! I NEED HELP! Where do I go from here? Like, coz I know how to do the ending for it, and I already did the beginning ……uh duh…….but I'm totally clueless how to do the middle…….which is where I am now…..duh……….
