Hey guys/girls! Just to remind you all that Kasumi is Leah to Boris and his men, since she uses a fake name with them to protect her identity. Well, enjoy!

After Kai recovered and was freed from the medical room, security on him was tightened. He was kept locked up in his cell, bound securely with ropes, which bound his ankles, thighs, wrists and his arms pinned to his waist. He was also gagged with a thick cloth.

He was only freed from his bonds for training, which had increased his skills and reflexes.

The afternoon of the following day, Kasumi and Mitsuhide had been called to Boris's office.

"Mitsuhide, I will leave it in your hands to inform Leah of our secret weapon," said Boris.

"Of course! It would be my pleasure! Come, Leah, allow me to explain everything," said Mitsuhide, overjoyed that he had been given the honour of being with Leah.

The pair left the office and Mitsuhide began leading Kasumi towards Kai's cell. As they walked, he began to explain the details of their plan.

"As you know, me and Balkov would like to take over the world, and in doing so, we require a strong ally. My younger cousin, Kai Hiwatari (Kasumi's heart skipped a beat) is the perfect match, so we are currently using him as part of our plan. Naturally, being the fool that he is, he tried to oppose us, so we kidnapped him two years ago, faked his death to the public and are holding him against his will," Mitsuhide concluded.

"Why really? How fascinating. I can't wait to see this, Kai," said Kasumi.

"If he tries to attack you or get on your nerves, just beat him up, or let me know so I can deal with him," said Mitsuhide.

"I doubt I would be needing your assistance in that situation. I can be quite dangerous you know," said Kasumi.

"Hm. I was right to entrust you with our plans then," said Mitsuhide with a pleasant smile.

Damn Leah, you're such a dazzling dame. You make me want to simply ravish you, he thought lustily.

A moment later, they arrived before the locked door, and Mitsuhide took out a silver key and fitted it into the rusty keyhole. The door clicked open and swung inward creakily, allowing some light to filter into the room.

Kasumi followed Mitsuhide inside and instantly caught sight of a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old, tightly bound and gagged and lying on his side on the stone floor. His dark grey hair was ruffled and his clothes were torn in various places, through which smears of dark blood were visible.

Man...what've they been doing to him? Kasumi thought anxiously.

"Hey, loser, guess what? Someone else has joined the party," said Mitsuhide.

Slowly and with evident pain and weakness, Kai raised his head and gazed at Kasumi, who tried her best to keep her face neutral.

"Leah here is interested in our plans, and unless you want to get on her bad side, you'd better behave. Got that, punk?" said Mitsuhide, aiming a kick at Kai's stomach, as he gave out a muffled cry of pain.

"Mitsuhide," Kasumi said quickly.

"Yes, Leah?" he answered, turning gracefully to face her.

"Would you mind if I had a little chat with your, weapon?" she said, knowing that he wouldn't decline.

"Why of course! Anything for you, dear Leah," Mitsuhide graciously replied.

As soon as he left, Kasumi quickly approached Kai and kneeled down before him. Gently, she slipped down his gag and said: "Kai, listen. I'm not one of them. I'm a spy working to stop them. I was told to find out if you were alive, and I also know your girlfriend Tsukino."

Kai couldn't believe it when she said Tsukino's name. Could this really be happening? Did this woman really know Tsukino?

"Tsukino...you know her? Really? Is she alright?" he quickly asked, desperate to know.

"Yes, she's fine. She was brokenhearted when she was told of your 'death', but now I will tell her. While I'm here, I'll watch over you and let you know about her. Don't worry Kai, I'll get you out of here," said Kasumi.

"Thank you, thank you so much. I miss her, I don't know how I managed these two years without her, not knowing how she was and whether or not she was safe. Those bastards put me through the worst torture anyone could endure," said Kai.

"I understand, it must have been very hard for you. But fear not, I won't leave this place without you. I will reunite you with Tsukino if it's the last thing I do," said Kasumi.

Suddenly, the door opened and Mitsuhide appeared.

"Leah, I hate to interrupt but Balkov wants to see us again," he said in an annoyed tone.

"Yes, of course," said Kasumi, and with that she stood up and left with Mitsuhide, eager to report to Tsukino that Kai was alive after all.
