Please forgive the crappiness of this chapter. I had a mild, but sudden, case of writers block. Anyway, I hope it's alright.
"Boris?" Kai gasped as he leaned up against a tree, clutching his bloody shoulder.
The smirk on Boris's face widen, turning sadistic and evil. He took a couple of steps forward to tower over Kai. "Ah dear Kai. How is my favorite Bio-volt solider?"
Kai struggled to his feet, leaning heavily against the tree behind him. "I'll ask him when I see him."
Boris laughed mockingly. "Feisty as usual."
Instinctively Kai wrapped his arms protectively around his stomach, glaring hatefully at Boris. He ignore the excruciating pain in his arm and shoulder, concentrating more on finding a way to get away from Boris and back to the manor.
He tighten his arms around his mid section. He should never have left.
"Don't bother trying to hide you adorable little baby bump, Kai." Boris said. "I already know."
"How…?"
"A dear friend of mine overheard your teammates talking." He explained, then raised the knife up over his head and stared menacingly down at Kai. "Now keep still, that baby belongs to Bio-volt."
Kai slipped to the side of the tree as Boris brought the knife down, embedding it in the tree, just where Kai was standing moments earlier. Boris growled and savagely ripped the knife out of the tree and took another swipe at Kai, who ducked out of the way just in the nick of time.
"Keep still, I promise this won't take long."
Boris lunged forward, aiming for Kai's chest. Kai dodged to the side but the knife slashed his forearm, leaving a long savage gash. Blood quickly appeared, but he ignored it. He needed to find a way to somehow loose Boris. He's too far from the manor for anyone to hear him.
Once again Boris lunged forward, but this time Kai was ready for him. As he moved forward with the knife in front of him, Kai grabbed his wrist, twisted it and with all the strength he could muster, threw Boris over his shoulder. Boris landed on the ground with a sickening crack.
Satisfied that Boris was immobilize for a moment, Kai wrapped his arms around his stomach again the ran towards the entrance of the pack. But as he took a few steps an excruciating pain erupted from his stomach and he collapsed to his knees, screaming in pain.
The baby. He thought immediately. There's something wrong with the baby.
Behind him he heard Boris groan and mutter murderously. He heard the rustle of someone climbing to their feet then he heard the terrifying sound of Boris laughing mercilessly.
"What's wrong, Kai?" He asked as he cracked the bones in his shoulder and back.
Kai gasped and fell back against a tree. He pulled his legs in front of him to cover his stomach. He bit his lip as he was overcome by pain again. A suddenly realization hit him. The baby was coming.
Picking up the discarded knife, Boris strolled over to Kai. He tapped the knife against his cheek as the other moved to rest on his hip. "What are you going to do now, Kai? You can't possibly challenge me in this condition and you're too far from any help, aren't you? Poor thing."
"Stop it." Kai hissed through clenched teeth before screaming in pain when Boris suddenly moved forward and embedded the knife into his left thigh.
"Can't get away now." Boris said as he stood to his full height. "You shouldn't have fought back Kai. Oh well, you were always protective of the defenseless, weren't you? All the little ones looked up to you."
Boris went on but Kai heard very little of it. The dizziness from the lost of blood and the constant pain was numbing his senses.
"Now, give me that kid." Boris threatened as he raised the knife over his head.
Kai looked up through his tears to see Boris smile sadistically, his eyes insane. He raised his arms over his head and cried.
"Someone help me please!"
Back at the manor, in the main bedroom Miguel's eyes snapped open and he sat straight up. "Kai!"
He immediately jumped to his feet, snatched Dranzer's Beyblade of the bedside table, even though her bitchip was empty. Instead of wasting time walking through the rest of the manor, Miguel threw open the bedroom window and jumped out, landing on his feet, two floors down.
"Protect him until I can get there, Dranzer." He silently pleaded as he jumped over the fence and ran through the trees of the park. Even though he knows very little of this park, he knows where Kai is and that's all that matters.
Unbeknownst to Miguel, Claude and Tala were in the room next door, complaining about Tyson and his rude behavior when they heard the window being thrown open frantically and were surprised to see Miguel effortlessly jump down two stories and then jump over a 10 ft high iron fence.
"Did Miguel just jump out the window?" Claude asked.
Next to him, Tala frown, then he too threw open the window. "Come on." He said.
"What?" Was all that Claude could mutter before Tala swept him up into his arms, stepped on the window sill and then jumped down.
Without so much as a grunt, Tala landed on the ground, quickly placing Claude onto his feet.
"Tala?"
"I think something's happen to Kai." Was all he said before he took Claude's hand and they too started running.
Miguel continued to run, ignoring the fact that small, low branches were cutting into his skin and the mind numbing cold winter air. None of that mattered.
Something is wrong. Kai's hurt. He needed to find him.
Suddenly up ahead he was a red glow and the air turned warm, almost hot. He knew what it was. What was causing it. He was close now.
He barreled out of the bushes and skidded on the gravel walk way. He was breathing hard and his limps felt numb. He looked up and gasped in fear, his heart nearly stopping.
He wasn't scared because Dranzer had somehow left her bitchip and entered the real world. Nor was it the fact that she had Boris pinned under her talon, or the fact that Boris was slowly burning to death. What scared him the most was…
Kai.
He leaned up against an old, hollow tree, blood pouring from multiple wounds on his arms and legs.
Immediately, Miguel stumbled his way over to him. He gathered him up in his arms, frantically checking for a pulse. Mercifully there was one. "Kai?"
Suddenly, Kai gave a heart breaking mew and stirred. "Miguel?"
"Hey baby, you'll be ok." He replied, standing up carefully as not to jolt any of Kai's injuries.
"The baby." Kai whispered. "Something's wrong. I can't feel him."
"Miguel!" Cried a familiar voice. A few seconds later a red head and his platinum lover appeared, breathing hard. They both got their breathing under control when Miguel faced them, with Kai laying limp in his arms.
"Kai!" Tala moved forward.
"He needs help." Miguel said, cradling his lover close.
"What happened?" Tala asked. He looked over Miguel's shoulder when he finally noticed that there was a 12 foot Phoenix standing on a cringing and withering Boris. "The hell!"
Suddenly Boris let out an animalistic scream and exploded into flames. Claude cringe and hid in Tala's chest, trying to block out the ear shattering screams. Tala wrapped his arms around his lover and watched almost satisfied. He always knew that Boris would get what he deserved. And he hopes it's as painful as it's sounds.
Bastard.
Miguel blatantly ignored the screams as he shifted Kai into a more comfortable position in his arms and ran towards the manor. His mind never registered that Dranzer had somehow left her blade, or the fact that Boris will no longer be a threat to anyone ever again. None of that mattered. The only thing that was any of his concern was for Kai.
And their baby.
I'm a little iffy about this chapter. I'm not very good with action scenes T.T Still, I hope you like it just the same. (crosses fingers)
Please read and review.
