Shooting up straight Kami breathed heavily her body covered in a cold sweat. 'Damn that dream. I've already lived that nightmare once why am I cursed to go through the hell again.' her pondering was cut short by the dryness of her throat. Looking around she found herself to be in her shared hotel room, she was now in her under-clothes consisting of a pair of black shorts and a black tank top. She had learned long ago that the more clothes you wear the better, layers of protection is what they had become. Aware of the heat vibrating from her body she pushed the heavy comforter away from her sweat soaked form and let her legs fall over the edge of the bed. The minute she put to much weight on her feet she fell back landing in a kneeling position. Trying again she moved slower and let her body adjust to her stance before starting a slow stride towards the bathroom. Unbeknownst to her two pairs of eyes followed her and it wasn't until a hand settled on her shoulder did she notice. One shouldn't startle a sick person the outcome being a frightened panther whipping around and throwing water all over a surprised falcon.

"Bryan you scared me." she spoke her soft voice barely above a whisper.

"Yeah and you soaked me. So I think we're even right?" he replied using his sleeve to wipe the water from his face ignoring his drenched shirt.

"Sorry."

"No need to apologize," a new voice entered the conversation Spencer stepping up behind Bryan, "just get your cute little butt back in bed and we'll be fine."

"But-"

"No buts now get moving." Spencer demanded using Bryan's shoulder as an arm rest. The panther let out a low growl before walking past the two cursing the entire way. Their eyes followed her watching until she got into bed, turning their gazes towards each other they smiled before shaking their heads moving back to the small table where they had originally been playing a game of poker.

The minute Kami lay down their door, that had remained unlocked for this very reason, swung open. Kai moved quickly towards her his eyes dangerous, "What happened?" he asked coldly making her cower away from him slightly.

"Nothing."

"Don't lie to me. Again." he added in the last bit through spite causing to smaller to wince visibly.

"I just don't feel well is that okay with you or do I have to ask permission to be sick as well?" regaining confidence she sat up and glared back at him angry he was mad at her for being sick of all things.

His eyes seemed to soften slightly as he sat down on the edge of her bed reaching out to stroke her cheek softly. "No. I was just worried." pausing for a minute he waited his eyes never leaving hers. Letting out a sigh he decided to take the first step, "How about we just apologize and forget about the whole thing?" Kami knowing he was talking about the Tala thing nodded hastily, waiting for his apology. When none came she turned her head to the side and almost chocked on her spit when he spoke again. "Well go ahead. I'm listening."

He wanted her to apologize? For what? She had only slept with Tala for his fucking battle, the one he has to have. The one he's been ignoring her for, for weeks. "I'm not saying sorry for anything. I did nothing wrong!"

"What do you mean you did nothing wrong?" Kai shot up ignoring Tala whom had just entered, "You fucking slept with Tala for Christ's sake!"

Clenching her fists Kami jumped up moving to stand in front of him, "Don't talk about shit you don't understand." she hissed angrily.

"Oh what don't I understand? That you decide to go off and fuck with anybody you want!" he yelled back earning glares from the other three who sat watching.

"You know what." Kami started her voice calm again, leaving it at that she pushed past him. Moving to the door she yanked it open only stopping to pull on her shoes.

"Where the fuck are you going?" Kai snarled angrily.

"To hell with this! And to hell with you! I QUIT!" she yelled surprising Kai. Flashing a small look of sorrow towards Bryan and Spencer she stormed out slamming the door behind her: hard.

Tala watched after her guiltily, 'I had never meant to ruin her relationship with Kai. Well if you could call it a relationship. It was just supposed to be fun, but I guess I was just thinking of myself again. I guess it doesn't matter that I don't get her in the end. Besides I'm in lust, Kais in love.' Tala surged with anger, grabbing Kai he shoved him against the wall making the other growl and try to shove him away. Giving him a violent shake Tala shouted over the other's cursing, "NO. LISTEN TO ME DAMMIT!" calming some he started again, "She fucking did it for you. You're such an idiot."

"What are you talking about Valkov?"

"I'm saying that the only reason Kami did anything was for you, you selfish bastard. I blackmailed her into being with me, told her I would take you out if she didn't. She did it for you and your damned dream and now you go and drive her away. That's a real good fucking job Hiwatari." pulling away Tala let out a deep breath slumping down on the bed in regret.

Kai felt as though he had been slapped in the face, 'For me?' Pushing from the wall Kai dashed to the door and pulled it open, a voice stopping him. "Where are you off to?" Spencer questioned from his spot in the corner. All eyes turned to Kai and he stared back at them determination written on his face.

"To get her back."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fuming Kami stomped through that halls of the hotel ignoring that fact that she was only in shorts and a tank top, her look was enough to scare off any who dared to think of commenting. Slamming her fist on the elevator button she tapped her foot impatiently as she waited for the mechanical box to respond to the call. Hearing the 'ding' she stepped up as the door slid back reveling a disturbing scene. Enrique of the Majestics having a full on make out session with a hotel maid, both turning to stare at her in shock. Her blood started to boil just at the sight and she clenched her fists trying to keep herself restrained, "Get a fucking room the place is full of them!" she all but shouted at the two turning away and heading for the stair well.

Tell me what have I done,

To anger you now?

Jumping over the first stack of stairs she let out a hiss when the old pain in her right ankle resumed, seeming to pick up wherever it had last left off. Looking down she cursed inwardly to find her brace missing, they must've removed it when they put me to bed. Scrunching her nose she rubbed her rough hand over her face stopping to cover her pale eyes the shadow of her appendage giving off some comfort. Letting out a deep breath she moved her hand running it threw her tousled hair not bothering to move her bangs that remained covering her eyes. Her emotions were like her hair, tangled in a mess, a knot so tight that not even the finest comb could sort them free.

I've done all you've asked,

Stayed true to my vow.

Hearing the sound of the door knob turning she shifted her gaze to the white door that stood only a few mere steps away from her position. She knew she looked something awful and that her appearance at the moment could put her image in jeopardy but at the moment she didn't care. She was mad as hell and if anyone had a problem they would just have to deal with it, or she would help them find a way. An imposing shadow fell across her figure and she couldn't help but tense at the look the other was handing to her. Backing away she felt her foot find the beginning of the next flight, her mind shut down and she reacted only on instinct. Run.

I've worked my whole life,

Around all of your needs.

To any by standers it would look like a black blur whizzing by, but Kami could see every object perfectly giving her just enough time to dodge anything that may find itself in her path. Jumping over numerous amounts of stairs she caught the sound of her name echoing throughout the well before the scuffling of feet soon followed. She had never been one to run from a challenge but this was one that she couldn't meet, wouldn't meet. Years at the abbey had indeed paid off, she wasn't afraid, more as she was confused. Should she be angry with him? Feel hurt or betrayed? Perhaps she should even feel happy that he cared enough to come after her. There were so many feelings that she still didn't understand, so many things she had yet to come to terms with.

Turned on those I loved,

Committed heart blackening deeds.

Jumping the last set of steps she looked at her choices, one sign read, 'lobby' whereas the other read 'exit'. Knowing the lobby was bound to be full with fans or fellow bladers she used her foot to kick open the exit door thanking GOD it wasn't an alarmed one. The alley she found herself in was dark and damp reminding her all to much of the abbey, the scent even the same almost identical. Her stomach churned in disapproval as she looked first to the left and then to the right checking for any offending persons. Finding none she turned right the darkness seeming to be her only comfort in this moment of desperation. Just before the door closed behind her she heard her name being called one last time, pretending to be oblivious to the other she continued on further into the hellish surroundings she had found herself in.

Don't you see,

I'd kill even the purest living dove.

Stopping she let herself fall against the brick wall for support, the color had long ago faded away leaving a moldy looking green to the eyes of the night. The smell seemed to thicken the deeper she delved into the alleyway, she could hear the growls of stray cats along with the scurrying feet of rats their screeches piercing her ears like a knife pressed to flesh. Closing her eyes she sank down to the ground stopping in a crouching position not trusting the worth of whatever muck crawled about the stone ground. She couldn't hear Kai anymore, he must've went in the opposite direction. By now he was probably walking around the town center cursing her for disobeying him. 'Heh, I wouldn't doubt it. Have I ever done anything to make him happy?'

And all that I've done

Is All For The Sake Of Love

Letting her mind wander Kami didn't even hear the sound of quiet footsteps as they approached her in her time of weakness. She didn't sense the presence of the other, that is until a pair of hands grabbed her shoulders and yanked her to her feet slamming her against the wall: hard. Violet eyes shot open danger flashing through them as she gave a deadly look to the imposter. 'What the fuck?' Her mind raced as she stared at the unfamiliar face of a man, actually he was probably a teenager her age or maybe older. 19 at the very most. His hair was bleached blonde with blood red tips, it was in a spiked fashion his face in full view. A twisted smirk played across his lips. Breath ghosted over her lips as he spoke his voice loud and obnoxious, "Look what we have here boys. A little stray pussy wandered into our turf, how about we show her how we welcome cats around here." his left hand moved from her shoulder to her chest groping her left breast giving it a rough squeeze. It wasn't until she heard chuckles did Kami realize she wasn't alone with this creep, looking past him she counted 4 other teenagers all staring with amused eyes. Some licked their lips while others gave crude gestures yelling out to what she supposed was the leader. "Oi Wiley do I get to fuck her next?" one shouted his eyes scanning over the panther's form with a lustful hunger.

The one known as Wiley just smirked, "Sure Derrick as soon as I'm done. Everyone will get a go." His generosity made all the others howl and cheer all patiently awaiting their turn. Moving forward the slime planted a kiss on Kami's lips pulling back he stared at her angered expression. Shaking his head while letting out a laugh he licked the side of her face his disgusting breath reaching her nostrils with an unforgettable force. He then moved to press kisses along her jaw line until he reached her ear, giving it a soft nip he whispered. "Don't worry babe it'll be fun."

Kami didn't like his tone and by now was ready to kill. Using this time to her advantage she brought her left fist up letting it connect with his gut. The teen fell backwards grasping his stomach in pain as he coughed trying to regain composure. "Little bitch." he spat out standing straight his eyes dangerous, "C'mon boys let's teach her how we do it downtown." Moving forward the 5 closed in all looking ready for a fight. Kami just smirked her fangs peaking out from behind her lips, she had a lot of built up rage and these fags had caused her to snap.
