For Love or Gold

CHAPTER 22

Kay brought another blanket into the living room, she had settled Dave in the living room so that he could relax and heal before he came back to defend his title again. This time it wouldn't be the Undertaker. Dave smiled as she entered the room and laid the blanket on his bandaged body.

She had taken him back home in Washington, but it was by magic means. She wasn't worry about the crowds at the arena when she had exposed her powers to them, Teddy Long had explained that their pyrotechnic department had been working on new effects all the time, the Undertaker and the General Manager of Smackdown go back a long ways. It what she was going to say to Dave about this. Everything was going to come out tonight. Why not, what's one more taboo broken? She was on a roll.

She would start with her mother, and the Covent. Then, ease him into what the Undertaker really is and why she was fascinated with him, now she knew deep within she loved him. She hoped that the discovering that Kane had killed their parents would change his mind about Mark, but only time would tell.

"How are you feeling now?" She asked as she sat on the couch next to him.

"Still confused, but that teleportation thing, that was freaky."

"Yeah, I scared the shit right out of myself the first time I did it, mom laughed her ass off when she saw the look on my face."

"There's a lot you have to tell me, I still can't believe that this is happening, it so…"

"Unreal?" She asked him.

"Yeah, how did you keep it a secret for so long?"

"Practice. I'm going to sit outside for a bit, and then I'll come in and tell you everything. I'll think you'll be up for it by then." She got up and grabbed her woollen coat and smiled at her brother.

Dave smiled back, "I love you, you know that?"

"I know…" She smiled, "I love you too."

Kayla walked out of the house and sat on the cold swinging chair that her parents had spent countless days and nights sitting together. She loved to sit with them and look around her little world, she missed them so much. She curled up on the seat, to get herself a little warmer. She thought of him and wished he was here with her, she missed him terribly.

She felt the weight shift on the seat and turned to see his smile, He wrapped his arm around her as she snuggled closer to him.

"How's your brother?" Mark asked her as he kissed the top of her head.

"A few broken ribs, lots of bruising, he'll be fine. You gave him a good beating."

"Sorry about that, let my temper get the best of me again, I'll try to keep it down to a minimum next time."

"Next time?" Kay asked.

"Not any time soon…" She looked up at him, his look was serious.

"Kay, I'm going to take Kane away from the mortals in seclusion, he's a little unstable right now. I'm sure with a little time, he'll be back to what we would call normal. He's a danger right now, and I don't really want to risk anymore innocent lives."

"Now you're leaving…." She snuggled closer to him, he held her tighter.

"It won't be for long," He pulled her face close to his, "I'll be back…"

He leaned over and gently touched her lips with his own, the cool sensation gave way to a warmth she had never known. She pressed for more, giving way for his tong to caress hers. He pulled her closer, her arms wrapped tighter around his back. They had waited a long time for this moment, they now felt they had earned it for them self to take for each other what they had felt the first time they saw each other. Her warm breath on his face, his gentle but strong touch. If he hadn't pulled away, they would still be in that tender embrace. He left her breathless, and wanting more of him.

Mark pulled her face gently towards his and looked into her dark glossy eyes, "I promise, I'll be back…"

"I'll be waiting…" He kissed her once more, and as she no longer felt his lips, she opened her eyes to find him gone as fast as he had come.

She leaned back into her chair and lightly touched her lips, she couldn't help but feel the utopia of emotions she was feeling for her Reaper…her Reaper. She raised herself from the chair walked back into the house, Dave smiled to her as she sat down beside him, her face still flushed by the Deadman's kiss.

"You look a lot better." Dave grinned as he popped some popcorn into his mouth.

"I feel a lot better, you know?" She leaned back and smiled, "…after we get things settled here, I have to go back to Egypt. I left my partner there alone and I still have a lot of things to get done there."

"When are you planning on leaving?" Dave asked.

Kay smiled back at him, "When you're back into the ring. I want to make sure you're at your best before I go. It should be in a few weeks…"

Dave laughed, "More like six weeks!"

Kay leaned over and gave him a gentle hug, as so not to hurt his already damaged body, "As long as it takes, I'll be here for you. Just don't ever try to use me again, ok?"

Dave looked at her puzzled, "What?"

Kay grinned, "I know you set it up so that I sat in front of Mark. You said all contenders too, Mark was the only one at the table. I'm not stupid."

Dave tried to smile, "Sorry, just doing my brotherly thing…"

She kissed his cheek, "I forgive you…you're my brother, I would do the same for you."

He hugged her back, but the pain was too much.

"Ouch!" He shouted, Kay leaned back and laughed,

"Aw…poor baby, I'll go get your pain killers…"

The End…for now….
