Abduction

Chapter Twelve

-Kai's POV-

Ray and I walked back in silence to the hotel we were staying at. That combat battle with Ryan sent my blood boiling and I was etching for more action! Damn! I hadn't had that much fun in a long time!

Combat was fun, for those who could handle the power. You see, combat was made for the fighters out there and the ones stronger than regular bladers. It was originally called street-blading, but the people at the BBA or the organization in charge back then, changed the name to combat so that it would get more people to vote for it to be legal. Combat wasn't made for people who couldn't fight, but the ones who could got bored. They started challenging regular bladers, forcing them to combat battle. Since you can't say no to an opponent you haven't faced before in combat, they had to battle. Soon one thing led to another, and people started showing up at the hospitals by the hundreds. A few months, or even weeks, later kids began showing up at the morgues, dead. That was when we decided to ban it, that and something had happened to my team that I don't want to go back to.

"Kai?" Ray's voice cut through my thoughts and I looked up. "You OK?"

I smiled at him. "Yeah, Ray. I'm just fine."

Ray smiled again. "That's good."

We entered our room, and Ray set the keys on the counter in the kitchen. He was starting to drive me up the wall! Just the outfit he wore to meet Ryan was enough to send me over the edge.

He didn't wear his normal outfit. His attire consisted of a white Chinese style tank top like he normally wears only this one had golden trim with a ying-yang outlined in gold on his chest. His pants were like his normal ones only, like his shirt, was white with gold trim. His shoes also like his normal only white. And his white headband with its gold-trimmed ying-yang, matching his shirt.

"Kai?"

"Yeah?" I looked up to meet his golden orbs.

"You hungry?" he asked. To tell the truth, I was starving, but I wasn't about to let him know. He'd get all hysterical and try to force me to eat probably as much as Tyson. Like that was ever going to happen.

Instead, I strode over to him, a smile on my face.

"Kai?" he asked hesitantly.

Ignoring him, I nuzzled my head in the nape of his neck, just as I had done yesterday morning, starting where I left off.

-Normal POV-

Kai began nipping at the tan skin of his kare, letting his lips trail slowly after his teeth left.

"Iie, Kai, not-" Ray started but stopped and groaned as he felt Kai's hot, wet tongue roll over his collarbone, his hand sliding under the white fabric of his shirt with great ease as he tugged it out of his pants in one smooth motion. Ray felt the phoenix's warm hand scratch and rubbed affectionately at his chest, his fingers running lightly over the hardening nipples of the tiger as his hips thrust slowly against his koi's.

"Mmmn . . . [[Chokoréto . . . My favorite . . ." Kai smiled against his tiger's caramel colored skin and thrust his hips quickly against the tiger's again, making the younger teen moan unexpectedly.

Ray pulled Kai away sharply, startling the phoenix as Kai looked at him with puzzled, wide eyes. The tiger smiled and crushed his lips on his koi's, probing his bottom lip for entrance immediately, gaining it, just like yesterday, his tongue teasing Kai's own as they battled. Luckily, this time they would not be disturbed. The others were out, and Ryan had gone to his own room, saying that he was going to turn in early, tired.

Somehow, they both managed to get to their bedroom, discarding their clothing along the way, creating a lane of shirts, pants, socks, and underwear.

In a surprising way, Kai ended up on top of Ray, his line of kisses had moved from the tiger's collarbone to his chest, licking his nipples passionately, causing them to go even harder than earlier and taking on a red hue after he finished one and headed to the other. Ray moaned and threw his head back as much as he could as it was lying on the pillow when he felt the phoenix's hand move in tender circles along his inner thighs. Kai's tongue had gotten to his stomach now, rolling over on down to his naval, making the tiger arch his back as another moan escaped his throat.

Kai smiled at hearing his koi's "comments" and moved his head downwards again, causing the tiger to gasp as the tip of his tongue touched the head of his koi's member teasingly.

"Kai, you're driving me up the wall," Ray breathed as the phoenix brought his mouth over the teen's appendage, sucking lightly, the heat from his phoenix's mouth intense. "Kai . . ." All he could do was dig his fingers into the slate blue hair and run them through the silky locks as the older teen pulled away and blew cool air and then repeating the process over again.

He let his expertise take over as he bobbed his head up and down repeatedly in-between blows, only when Ray called his name out louder did Kai answer, reluctantly pulling away. "Yeah?" the phoenix asked, bringing his head up to his koi's, his tongue brushing over the tip of his nose playfully, causing the tiger to smile.

Ray was about to say something when a heat made itself known in between his legs as two fingers wound their way around his arousal. He gasped, surprised as the shivers of pleasure washed over him, shaking his legs in the phoenix's other hand as the long, slim fingers cupped around his thigh.

"What's is it[[Koneko?" Kai looked at him questionably, his head cocked to the side with a lusting look in his eyes that made the tiger shiver again.

Ray gazed intently at his captain and forced himself to not laugh. He looked so adorable like that, mimicking an actual phoenix. He smiled again. "Nothing," he whispered, his voice full in hunger as he opened his legs further apart for his koi. He reached up with a light hand and feathered a finger along the phoenix's strong arm under the metallic band where the skin was taking a light purple tinge. He seemed to like the soft feeling because he sighed and closed his eyes briefly in comfort.

Kai smiled at him. "Alright. But here's a heads up: before we go any farther, I'm not really ready to go all the way, and I don't think you're ready either. So, we're not going to, if that's alright?"

Ray shook his head. "That's okay. I'm not ready yet, either." He gasped again as he felt his koi's fingers move once more, lining up and down his appendage. The tiger gasped loudly and tried to keep himself from screaming as the phoenix gripped both his member and his thigh. He moaned, rolling his head from side to side. "Kai . . . Aishiteru yo . . ."

-Ryan's POV-

I stood on the balcony of my apartment, twirling my blade in my hand idly. I had told the others that I was tired from the battle with Phoenix, but the truth was . . . . I wasn't. I was so hyped up about seeing my old friend and about the things I had to teach those other bladers that I couldn't sleep.

Phoenix . . . . He looked good after all these years. Though that shouldn't surprise me. He was always one to stay in shape . . . but then, his friend Ray . . . and him . . . who'd a thought that Phoenix would actually find someone? I mean I know he and I were together for about three years, but . . . .

I smiled to myself, shaking my head. This is stupid. Phoenix's a good-looking guy. I should have known by the way he talks about his team that he would, possibly, end up with one of them. I just never thought that the person would look just like . . . . Scott . . . .

My train of thought ended on that note. Scott was someone I didn't want to think about right then, but his face pushed his way into my mind. His soft face, with the honey colored eyes that glowed golden in the sunlight. His long midnight hair blowing behind him from the light breeze as it played with his ponytail. His perfect white teeth shining with happiness as he laughed.

Scott . . . .

Shaking my head, I slowly shoved my blade into my pocket and gazed at the starlit sky. The stars winked at me as if they know my pain.

No one could. I think. No one but Phoenix.

I sighed. I'd gone down this road time and time again. I didn't love Phoenix. I mean, I did at one point in time, but now . . . . I don't think I could. Not with Scott's ghost still haunting me. Not to mention, Phoenix was like a brother to me. But every time I look at his new koi, I see him. I don't see the person Phoenix calls Ray. I see Scott. But when I look into Phoenix's eyes, I see that he sees Ray and not Scott and that he loves him, even though he and Scott . . . .

Whoa! Stop while you're ahead, Ryan! No need to go any farther down that lane. It was also very confusing.

I sighed and went back inside my room, shutting the glass door behind me. My eyes scanned the room, sensing something was not right. They landed on a sheet of white on top of the kitchen table. 'Funny,' I thought to myself. 'That wasn't there before.' Striding over to it, I picked up the piece of paper, noting the letters and numbers in two different columns.

In one column sat names, and I noticed Phoenix's actual name as one of them. In the other column were numbers that resembled what looked like dates and times. Right beside Phoenix's was . . . . WAIT! That date is today!

"What's going on?" I mumbled.

"This," a calm voice said. Turning on my heal, I saw the attack before it came, but I couldn't dodge.

-Normal POV-

Steel clanged against skin and bone as a crimson substance splattered. More scuffling sounded before it got quiet.

-With Kai and Ray-

They lay side-by-side on the bed, Kai's strong arms wrapped around the tiger's waist protectively. The covers lay atop them so lightly it seemed as if it were never there. Their breathing was even with one another's. It was a perfect sight, but like all perfect sights, this one didn't last.

Kai jerked, startling Ray from his slumber.

"Kai, what's wrong?" the tiger slurred sleepily, eyes still closed in tiredness.

The phoenix didn't reply as he took his arms away from the tiger and sat up, his eyes staring off into space.

"Kai?" Ray rolled over and sat up himself, catching his koi's gaze as he placed a light hand on his shoulder. He gasped as he caught sight of his phoenix's eyes. They were glazed over, almost as if he were blind. His muscles were tense, ready to spring if need be. "Kai!" Ray shook the teen, trying to get those beautiful crimson eyes to focus as he called his name over and over again. It wasn't working.

The phoenix stood up off of the bed and made his way to the middle of the room. Ray tensed as he caught sight of another figure that he hadn't known was in the room, his eyes slitting as the tiger in him began taking over.

"Well, it seems that a phoenix is not as free-spirited as everyone thought they were. They come when they're called. Isn't that sweet?" the figure said smoothly, white teeth showing in a grin. "You can't go outside looking like that. It's a bit chilly out there." He flung his long cape across Kai's slick shoulders, the phoenix slipping his arms through the sleeves that now came into view. The cape seemed to button on its own as Kai's abs disappeared from the tiger's view.

"K-Kai?" Ray stammered as his koi moved closer to the man in front of him. "What have you done? What have you done to Kai?!" He moved off the bed, but then noticed that he was the only one who still had nothing on. Grabbing a pair of boxers from his bag, which was, conveniently, right beside him, he stepped into them, aware of the man's eyes watching his every move. "Let Kai go." He knew it must have been a funny sight: a flushed, teenage boy wearing boxers, telling some unknown stranger to let his kare go.

The man smiled. "No, I don't think I will." The man bowed his head and began chanting. Ray noticed that his mouth barely moved with each word he said.

Something caught Ray's eyes. Kai was moving towards him, but the look on his face didn't make Ray want him. The phoenix glared at the tiger, his movements aggressive, and angry, eyes fiery and hot. Even a low growl emitted from him.

"Kill him," the man muttered after the last chant was muttered.

That's when Kai lunged, landing on top of the surprised tiger, straddling him around the waist.

"Kai, tomare!" Ray cried as he moved his head to the side, dodging a well-aimed blow. He could feel the floor tremble from the force. 'Oh, man, he's really going to kill me if I don't fight back!' His mind made up, the tiger shoved the phoenix off of him to where he was now on top. He clutched the cape in his hands, forcing Kai to stay on the ground after he banged his head against the floor twice, but not enough to permanently hurt his koi. Kai may have been out of the grip of Auron for about a few days, but that didn't mean that he had regained his full strength yet.

"Get up and kill him," the man said emotionlessly and began chanting again.

Kai screamed, his voice sounding like a phoenix's screech. His eyes flamed up and Ray could feel the teen's skin become hotter, feverish, wanting to burn his skin as the phoenix's body began shaking in tremors.

That's when Ray found himself on the ground again, staring up into the angry eyes of his koi as he straddled him. Kai raised a fist, this time, though, it connected with the side of the tiger's face, splitting his lip, causing a lightning of pain to shoot through his body as the side of his head connected with the carpeted floor. Kai brought his other hand up and wrapped it around the boy's throat, squeezing slowly, his master's feelings of enjoyment flooding through him. Then he stopped without warning, staring as Ray's eyes glistened with tears. Not tears of pain or the fact that he was going to die, but with helplessness of not being able to help his friend, and not just his friend, but his lover. As everyone knows, a phoenix can read the eyes of anyone, scanning their thoughts like an open book.

"What are you doing? Kill him," the man said, but was cut off by a strong voice sounding in the doorway.

"He's breaking your control. You might as well give up." The voice sounded familiar. Ray glanced to the side, seeing a beaten-up Ryan standing in the doorway, his arms folded across his chest as red ooze ran down the left side of his face.

"Ryan?" Ray whispered hoarsely through the phoenix's strong hold. The teen looked at him and nodded.

The man growled and in an instant, was gone.

The tiger's attention was back on Kai as the phoenix made a grunting noise, the force around his throat gone. "Kai!" Kai fell to his side, his body limp, his breathing ragged. He was sweating uncontrollably. "Kai. Kai, come on, answer me," the tiger whispered to the teen. He looked up at Ryan. "What's wrong with him?"

Ryan stayed quiet for a moment but answered. "He's exhausted. Fighting for control of a Restraining Spell takes a lot of energy. He's going to be tired tomorrow, and I suggest you let him sleep as long as he needs to. Cowards . . . . Sending an assassin to get rid of someone's hold on life is just plain . . . ." He shook his head, angry.

Ray raised an eyebrow at the last comment but nodded and looked back down as a moan reached his ears. Kai's eyes fluttered slightly and opened half-way. "R . . . Ray . . . ?" he asked weakly.

The tiger nodded at his koi. "It's OK, Kai. Everything's going to be alright," he said, stroking the phoenix's sweaty brow.

Kai nodded slightly and closed his eyes, willingly letting the darkness of unconsciousness take him.
