Author: thanx for being so patient. R&R please and if you do or don't like it try another of my fics. Thanx again.

Before: When she turned around, Blade was standing at the end of the dead ended alley. His sword's tip touched the ground and he made a semi circle, ready for action.

" Oh shit " Kilanath whispered to herself.

Blade stood still holding the sword to the ground unmoving. It was then that she realized she was going to fast to slow down in time not to hit him if he didn't move or turn around. She had to go head on or jump off. Kilanath weighed her chances and took the choice that was best. She jumped. As soon as Kilanath had leapt from the bike, Blade jumped up and collided with her in the air. The bike swerved and tipped and slammed into the wall, a few moments later it blew up. The fire danced on the now destroyed bike and Kilanath kept her eyes locked on it even though Blade was standing over her. Kilanath looked at him and watched, as he looked her over with a 'holy crap' kind of look. He grabbed her by the jacket and pulled her off the ground. He whipped her around and pushed her hair out of the way to see the back of her neck and he did it kind of rough, which made Kilanath struggle against him. Then he started walking with her arm in hand and she awkwardly followed not knowing what lay ahead for her.

After he tossed her in the back seat of his car he got in and flew down the street as fast as possible so when he turned she got flung from one side of the car to the other. Through the tinted windows she couldn't really tell where she was being taken but she didn't much care, anywhere was better than with Frost. When they got the destination she noticed that it was a large warehouse near some railroad tracks. He pulled up into the warehouse and past a gate into a spot, which looked like a parking space but surrounded by shelves and boxes. 'Looks like spring cleaning went well' she thought. Blade got out of the car and slammed it shut then walked up to some old guy sitting near a desk.' great' she thought' could this get any better'. Before she knew it Blade opened the door nicely this time and held it open, slowly Kilanath got out and when she did he slammed it so fast she almost lost her fingers and then he gave her a nasty glare which she returned. He walked over to the old man, the two of them seemed to be talking about something and there was some kind of disagreement because the old man walked away and Blade slammed his fist on the desk.' There sure is a lot of slamming going on, temperamental'. Blade came back over to her and for the first time since she'd run into him he said something:

" You can stay for a while your room is right there" he jutted his thumb towards a door at the top of some stairs.

" No bathroom?" her words full of sarcasm. Blade looked pissed and he then he replied:

" That's upstairs now get up there and be quiet" He stormed off in the direction the old man went.

" Ass" she said almost to herself. Then she went upstairs.

The room wasn't all that bad, she closed the door, and it was decent size with a desk a bed and another door. 'Well what do ya know, the bathroom'? She went into the bathroom. It was even better. There was a full bathtub/shower, a sink, a mirror/cabinet and well that was all. It seemed like everything was completely un-lived in but it was cleaner than any hotel. She flopped on the bed. She pulled off her black warrior boots and then got up from the bed, walking to the bathroom she pulled off her clothes piece by piece. The shower had hot water and she used it to her advantage, when she got out the entire bathroom was full of steam. She wiped off the mirror and looked at herself and finally got a good look at the damage. There wasa really small cut on her cheek, which she fingered gingerly, then she looked her side, which was bruised and still hurt like hell but the hot water had helped. After a while she put her bra and underwear on then wrapped a towel around her waist since her ribs were too tender. Now out of the bathroom there was Blade and Whistler standing around in her new room and they looked at her rather shocked. She walked over and grabbed her pants from the floor then pulled those on.

"Better?" she said sarcastically.

" Come on downstairs so I can have a look at that" Whistler gestured for her to go downstairs and she followed. Blade was behind her and his eyebrows raised he smiled.

Downstairs Whistler had her sit on some sort of a medical table and she sat down but winced when she leaned over. Whistler made her lay down and she lay there casually as ever though she had no shirt on. First he looked over the cut on her face but said something about it not being serious and not to worry. Then when he looked at bruised ribs he gave her as serious look and shook his head. He waved at Blade and he came over to the table.

" Hold her"

"What?" She yelled. She wasn't sure what they were going to do which made her scared.

"Got it" Blade replied and put one hand on her lower stomach and the other on her shoulder. His hands were cold and she shivered a little. Then she struggled under his firm grip and didn't get anywhere except Blade pushed down on her harder. Whistler came over and placed his hands on either side of her bruised ribs then gave her another look.

" You ready?" he asked.

" Ready for what?" she yelled. Then she got her answer.

Whistler slammed on her ribs and she felt them crack back into place before she screamed bloody murder.

"FUCK" she yelled. She felt tears in her eyes as pain swelled up and ran through her body. Then she fell unconscious.

Blade laughed.

(Later)

Kilanath woke up on her bed in the new room and her ribs felt a little numb. She was all wrapped up where her ribs had been broken. She felt really tired but she got up anyway. She still didn't have a shirt on but it made no difference. Kilanath came down the stairs clinging to the railing helplessly andshe bumped into Blade at the bottom of the stairs. It was hard getting around him at first because her body was kind of numb but she managed to get back to the medical table where the old guy was sitting working on something.

" Feeling any better?" he asked. She didn't answer.

" The name's Whistler"

" Great" Kilanath finally said.

" So Kilanath is what you want to be called eh? Don't you have a real name?" Kilanath laughed.

"None of your business old man and I could care less if you called me Dora the fuckin' explorer" Kilanath leaned slowly against the table and sighed. Whistler laughed.

" You're so sarcastic it's funny" he said" I gave you some stuff so you wouldn't be in any pain"

" Gee thanks" She got another laugh out of Whistler.

" So Whistler huh?" she said laughing herself.

" Call me anything you want little girl I could care less" he smiled.

" Well same here just don't call me little girl, you're smarter than that. And I know you can come up with something better" Then Kilanath took a look at what he was doing. He was trying to fix a small ear device and a small radio, which she assumed Blade probably busted up.

She pushed him aside andtook some of the tools next to him and started moving this and that then putting it all back together. Whistler had a weird look on his face then he pushed a couple buttons and tested it, it worked perfectly.

" Looks like you're smarter than you let on kid, I guess you'll be useful after all"

" What do you me-mean by that?" she asked without sarcasm.

" You okay?"

" I-I don't know, I just feel tired" She rubbed her eyes.

" Blade!" he yelled. Kilanath suddenly realized Whistler was holding onto her arm keeping her from collapsing on the floor. Blade came running. The two of them faded from her vision and she went unconscious again and that's when she felt her ribs flame in pain. Again.

Again Kilanath woke up on her bed only this time Whistler and Blade were hovering over he.

" Sorry kid it looks like you're gonna be stuck here for a while"

"What?"

" You've got some serious damage kid and you'll have some explaining to do later, but for now this is Blade and he's going to be here and if you need anything he'll get it" While he said the last bit him and Blade glared at each other. Whistler left the room laughing.

" Don't be getting any ideas kid"

" Whatever Blade" she said smiling " Just don't be getting any ideas either" then she fell asleep.
