3 Months Later

"Kai! Have you seen the box with my CDs in it?" I called from the study. Kai and I had decided to move in together and figured to move into Tala's old house that he left us.

I turned around as Kai walked in holding a box. "This the one?" I nodded and he put the box down on the ground and walked over and wrapped his arms around me. I leant into him and hugged him.

These past 3 months had gone slow and were very quiet. Sam was still missing and the police were looking out for him. I think his greatest problem is Kai, who seriously wants to kill him.

I still wasn't 100 happy but who was these days?

I was starting to show in my stomach. I grimaced at the thought of the father of the baby I was carrying but Kai reassured me he would stand by me always so that helps.

I haven't hurt myself for about 2 months. Kai caught me cutting a few weeks after Tala's death. I still blame myself but Kai makes me tell him when I'm down so that I don't feel alone.

Kai's phone ringing brought me from my thoughts. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. I could slightly hear another voice on the phone and Kai saying he'd be right there. He hung up and looked at me.

"I've got to go somewhere quickly. Will you be right to get your stuff from your old house?" I nodded. "John said my aunty wasn't home."

He nodded back. "Alright. I'll drop you off on my way."

We got into his car and he drove to my now ex-house and I leaned over and kissed him goodbye. "I'll see you back home." He nodded and I got out of the car and watched him drive off.

I let myself in and closed the door. Peaceful.

"SLUT!!"

I dodged the figure leaping at me and backed into the doorway. What the hell?! She wasn't meant to be here.

"You aren't meant to be here!"

My aunty straightened up and looked at me. "Sorry to disappoint you slut." She looked at my stomach. "AHA! SEE!"

This wasn't good. I needed to get out of here before she hurt me. I made a break for the door but she bet me there.

I stepped back from her. She raised her fist and I tried to dodge but she got me in the cheek. I stumbled back slightly but regained myself. Subconsciously I put my arms over my stomach while I glared at her. To put it frankly, I was in shit…

She leapt at me and I kicked her in the gut as hard as I could. She fell back but the look in her eyes told me I only enraged her more.

I needed Kai I realized. I made a break for the kitchen to reach the phone. Luckily the phone was cordless. I grabbed it and bolted into the bathroom and locked the door.

My aunty was smashing herself against the door trying to break it. I didn't have much time so I dialed Kai's cell as fast as I could.

I cried out when it went to message bank. Why?! Why of all times is his phone off?!

I dropped the phone and it smashed on the ground. I fell next to the smashed phone and sobbed into my hands. I could hear the door creaking and knew it was only a matter of minutes before she got in. I was trapped and as good as dead…

"Nice doing business with you Mr. Hiwatari." The guy smiled and handed Kai a green bag.

"Hn." He took the bag and walked out. He reached for his phone and realized it was off. He turned it on and got in his car and headed back home.

He pulled into the drive way and got out and walked into the house. He looked around and frowned.

"Tash?" He called out. No reply.

Worry over took him as he reached for his phone and dialed her number.

"Sorry the number you have tried to call is currently unavailable. Please try again later."

He ran out to his car and started the motor.

'Maybe I'll just drive past to make sure nothing happened…'

His tyres spun as he pulled out and sped off towards her aunt's house. As he approached he noted that nothing seemed different. He frowned and got out and walked over to the door and knocked. No one answered.

Worried, he turned and walked back to his car reluctantly. He drove all over town for a good hour or so before admitting temporary defeat and headed home again.

She wasn't home by 7 that night. Not 8, 9, 10pm either. It wasn't until 11:36pm that night that Kai heard anything. His phone rang, making him jump slightly.

"Hello?"

"Hello is this Mr. Hiwatari?"

"Yes…"

"This is Greenock Hospital. We are calling in regards to a Miss Natasha Royds. The doctor asks if you can come here immediately..."

That was all he needed to hear as he hung up and practically ran to his car. He drove towards the hospital doing at least 40 over the limit.

Rushing inside he went over to the information and demanded to know where she was. The frighten receptionist choked out a random number which was her room and watched him stalk off in a hurry to it.

When he found the room, he walked straight in, ignoring stares from doctors and nurses nearby.

He looked over to the bed and saw a black and blue looking Natasha lying there, clearly unconscious. He took two strides and looked down at her figure. He stroked her cheek gently, wishing she'd wake up so he'd know who to murder, even though he had a clear idea.

The door opened and a doctor dressed in a white coat walked in and looked up from his clipboard.

"Mr. Hiwatari I presume?" The only reply he got was a short nod. "I'm Doctor Mandell. Are you her boyfriend?" Once again all he got was a short nod. "Well I hate to be the one to break it to you but Miss Royds lost her baby…"

Kai's gaze shifted to Tasha, his emotions a mixture of relief, depression and worry.

The doctor excused himself before exiting. Kai sat down next to her bed and gently took her hand. He whispered a few incoherent words as he watched her sleep.

The sun shone into the room. The girl on the bed murmured, her brow creased in annoyance at the light.

"Bloody light…"

Her eyes peered open and blinked at the white ceiling in front of her. Memories of her last conscious moments flooded her head. Was she dead?

She sat up abruptly and looked around. She quickly acknowledged the sleeping Russian that was clinging to her hand and looked adorable.

She smiled and brushed his bang out of his face. The simple movement caused him to wake suddenly. His eyes opened and he looked at Tasha's bruised face. He sat up fast.

"You're awake"

"So it would seem." She laughed. He frowned. "Are you ok?"

With a grim expression she laughed bitterly. "Oh yeah. Never better."

"Stop making it a joke. What happened?"

"What do you think happened?"

He sighed. "She was there wasn't she?"

"Mmm."

"You lost the baby…"

Her gaze snapped to him, her expression unreadable. She sighed. "Oh."

"Are you ok?" He asked again.

"I suppose it's for the best..."

"I'm sorry… I should have been there with you."

She looked over at him sadly. "It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself Kai."

She leaned down and kissed him softly. "Shit happens."

"Mmm." He agreed quietly.

"Hey Kai…"

He looked up. "Yeah?"

"I love you."

Two days later Tasha was released from hospital. She barely left Kai's side. She felt as if the whole world was against her and wanted her dead.

The two of them were walking down the street towards their home, hands locked. Her bruises had gone a greenish color and were starting to fade. Her urges to hurt herself were at an all time high so Kai was constantly with her to make sure she didn't do anything stupid.

Kai pulled out his keys as they approached the front door. They took off their shoes as he opened the door and held it open for her, watching her walk in.

They both looked up as the phone began ringing.

"I'll get it." Said Tasha and she went to go answer it.

Kai could briefly hear her talking and a few minutes later she returned. "What was it?"

She smiled. "They arrested my Aunty and she's going to be locked up for a long time."

"Good." He replied as he hugged her.

Her face lit up. "I should ring John and tell him!"

Kai laughed at her suggestion. "He's on vacation with his new girlfriend. We'll wait until he's home again to tell him."

"Yeah, you're right as always."

"I'm not always right."

"Are too!"

"Not."

"Ahuh!" She walked off before he could reply. He growled and followed her. He always had the last word.

She walked into their bedroom and was looking through her clothes when she felt his presence behind her before his hands rested on her waist. She could feel his body heat, it radiating through her from their close distance. Her breath got caught in her throat and she swallowed hard. He moved closer to her, closing the small gap between them so that he was pressed against her back. Her eyes widened slightly in recognition as she felt him pressed against her lower back.

She gulped as she felt his breath tickle her ear as he leaned down to it. "Maybe I am always right. I don't know. And quite frankly I don't care."

Her legs started to feel like jelly and she suddenly grabbed onto the cupboard for support. She felt his breath move from her ear to her neck and she gasped when he nipped at her neck. Her eyes fluttered shut as she felt him press kisses to her creamy skin.

Kai smirked to himself. He knew all her weak spots. He knew how to make her cave in and where she liked to be touched. She melted in his arms, giving him complete control over her, just the way he liked it.

His hands moved down over her thighs and her eyes shot open. Feeling more mischievous, she pushed her backside into his hips and she heard him growl. Repeating the movement, she let out a small 'Eek!' when he lifted her up bridal style and walked over to the bed and dropped her on it.

Lying on her back, she watched as he moved and straddled her. Leaning up, she kissed him deeply. She mewed softly when she felt him kiss back, his tongue pushing past her lips to start a tongue war with hers. She cupped his head gently as their tongues clashed with each other.

Kai pulled back from her, smirking at her noise of protest. He looked down at her as his hands ran up her sides and grabbed her shirt and pulled it up and over her head. His fingers traced patterns on her stomach as she, almost desperately, grabbed his shirt and pulled it off him.

She wrapped her right leg over his waist and flipped them in his moment of vulnerability. Resting her hands on his chest, she leaned down and caught his lips in a kiss again. His hands held onto her hips tightly, almost hard enough to leave more bruises on her.

She slid down his body, the heat pulsing through her. Reaching her destination, she began unbuckling his pants, Kai's burning gaze watching her movements. Pulling the zipper down, she tugged his pants down in one violent movement, leaving him momentarily in his boxers.

He reached down and grabbed her arms and pulled her up to him. Rolling over so he was once again on top, he reached behind her to unclasp her bra, his fingers undoing it with much expertise. Flinging it over his shoulder somewhere, he bent down and took one of her hardened buds in his mouth. She cried out and arched into him, wanting to feel more of him in every possible way.

She felt his tongue move and swirl, his mouth alternating between breasts. Deciding she couldn't take it anymore, she pushed him back and reached for his boxers. She cried out in anguish as his hands stopped her and he whispered in her ear, "Stop being so impatience. You'll get it eventually."

He moved his hands down to her jeans and unbuttoned them before sliding them down her legs. Pushing the jeans on to the floor, his hand moved back up her leg and his finger linked under the side of her black boy shorts. Grabbing both sides of her panties, he pulled them down, her smell of arousal apparent to his senses. Flicking the discarded object away, he looked down at her naked body, and despite the bruises and scars, he still found her absolutely beautiful and at the same time sexy.

He parted her legs with his hands and his right hand moved up to cup her sex. She gasped and pushed her hips further into his hand. Not wanting to tease her much longer, he slid his middle finger into her wet heat and she bucked slightly, the tension building in her abdomen. Adding a second finger, he began pumping them in and out of her. When he knew she was close, he pulled back and kissed her when she cried out in frustration.

He moved out of his boxers as he kissed her, him throwing them away like the rest of their clothing.

Moving up between her legs, he put the head of his erection at her entrance. Kissing her collarbone, he slid into her heat. He groaned at the feeling of her and she grabbed onto his shoulders, her nails digging into his flesh.

He began thrusting in and out of her, a rhythm becoming apparent. Tasha moaned as she felt the heat beginning once again in her abdomen.

She wrapped her legs around his waist and he groaned into her neck as he slid in deeper. He nipped at her neck as she cried out for him to go faster. Obeying, he pushed into her faster, his knob hitting her cervix as he went deeper and harder.

He kept up the pace for the next 14 minutes, his stamina putting most guys to shame. It was shortly after that when Tasha cried out, her inner muscles squeezing around his manhood as she came. Moments later Kai came, not being able to hang on anymore. His seed shot into her heat and he groaned and fell on top of her.

Tasha's body shivered slightly as the sweat that covered them was being met by the breeze.

Pulling up the blanket around them, Kai pressed a kiss to her forehead.

"Tasha can I ask you something?"

"Mmm…" was her reply, meaning yes.

"Do you love me?"

She looked at him. "Yes."

"Would you do anything for me?"

She blinked in confusion slightly. "Of course I would …"

She watched him reach into his draw and pull out a green bag. He reached inside and pulled out something that she couldn't see. He turned and looked at her.

"Will you marry me?" He put out his hand and held out a box. Sitting in the box was the most gorgeous ring Tasha had ever laid eyes upon. It was silver with emerald stones on it surrounding a diamond.

Her eyes widen and she felt the tears swell up. "Oh my god, Kai…"

He smiled at her. "Say yes and I'll protect you with my life forever."

"Yes!!" She hugged him with all of her remaining energy and strength and watched as he slid the ring onto her finger.

Everything was going to be alright. And finally she realized that her life wasn't so pointless after all.
