CHAPTER EIGHT – LET IT BEGIN

-S-S-S-S-S-

Jet sighed, his hand on his forehead, nursing an on-coming headache. His gaze wandered to the still form of his fiancé on the bunk. Kai was still fighting the light fever that kept him unconscious.

After everyone finally woke up at the site, they all headed back to the tents where they were to spend the nights while staying there. Kai had been asleep the whole time. When they finally reached the area, everyone decided to stay together in the same tent due to the fact that they didn't want what happened in the temple to be repeated.

Now, everyone was situated comfortably in the tent with Kai on the lower bunk of the bunk-beds. Jet was sitting in a cushioned chair right beside the bed in case his phoenix woke up.

"Any change?" a voice asked from behind him.

Jet turned around, immediately recognizing the flaming red hair and ice blue eyes that came into vision. He shook his head. "Nothing," he murmured, eyes wandering back to the sleeping form.

Tala sighed. "He'll be fine. I'm more worried about the fact that the guy down there wanted to talk to Dranzer and Dranon, and they haven't come back yet. It's been hours."

Jet bit his lip. He felt so lost without his darker half inside his head. Ever since Boris did the experiment on him, he had never been without the wolf. Now, it just didn't seem natural.

Tala caught on. "Hey, don't worry. I'm sure that Dranon's okay, and he and Dranzer'll be back soon. Then you guys will be in contact again."

The darker wolf nodded, even darker eyes never lifting from the vision of the phoenix before him.

Tala shifted on his feet. "I do have some bad news, though." That caught his cousin's attention. "Tyson's father and some of the other adults are wandering around the entire digsite . . ."

"Why? I thought that they were wanting to report those guys from earlier to the guards?"

"Well, there's a problem."

"Tala, you're beating around the bush."

The white wolf took in a breath. "We can't get out of the site. It's like there's a barrier around the place."

Jet's head snapped up to gaze unbelievingly at his cousin before him. "What?"

"We've tried. All of us have tried going through this barrier, but it's like we can't leave. I don't know if it has something to do with the group from earlier or the guy that's with your bitbeast or what. All I know is that we can't leave. The workers can get out, but it's like everyone who were with us down there are unable to leave the site. We're still trying to figure out what's going on."

"Shit," the dark wolf muttered, once again going back to gazing at his fiancé. "And I can't seem to contact Dranon. Kai hasn't woken up yet, and we can't get back into the temple to find out what the hell is going on."

"Pretty much."

Jet sighed again. 'What's happening?' he asked himself. 'Why is this happening?'

-S-S-S-S-S-

Dranzer sighed as he followed the man in front of him. He was torn between emotions, and that was saying something. A phoenix is supposed to be able to keep calm and analyze situations with ease. Right now, he had about a million emotions keeping him occupied.

Worry for Kai was a main one. He had just been returned to his young master, and now could possibly lose him. He was anxious to get back to the teen.

Anticipation was another emotion running through his body. Anticipation for actually being with his beloved dark wolf. It had been quite a while since he last saw his lover, and all he wanted to do right then was fall into his arms and snuggle up with the wolf holding him forever.

Fear was another emotion. He didn't trust the man in front of them. The guy just comes out of nowhere and attacks them, Kai being the first one, too! Dranzer could feel a low growl rising up in his throat at the memory. That bastard had literally hurt his phoenix. That wasn't acceptable.

Dranon stole a glance at his claimed. Dranzer was battling his emotions to keep himself in check and not launch himself at the man in front of them. The wolf smiled in his mind. Dranzer would never change, but that was what he loved about the phoenix. The dark wolf edged his hand closer to his claimed one's and grasped it lightly in a reassuring hold. Dranzer looked up at him and smiled that soft, loving smile that only the wolf knew.

/I missed you,/ Dranon spoke softly in his mind.

/The same,/ Dranzer replied, his face softening for his wolf.

"We're here," the man in front of them spoke softly. He turned around and gazed at the two lovers with his sickening yellow eye.

Dranzer finally looked at the man, getting a better description of him in the light that now accompanied the large room they stood in. The man stood a good seven feet tall with long black hair that reached to the middle of his back. Silver strands accompanied the look. His only visible eye was that vomiting yellow color that made one squeamish just looking at it. The other was covered by his long hair. He was handsome in the face and hand a long, muscled body that could win almost any body contest. His form was covered in all black with a black trench coat to add to the look.

"Who are you?" the phoenix asked, narrowing his eyes at the man.

He chuckled at the red head's glare. "I believe we met a long time ago, young Dranzer."

Dranon took that opportunity to step slightly in front of his claimed. He growled low in his throat. Most of the unknown men that came into Dranzer's life where ones that had hurt the phoenix in more ways than one.

Dranzer knew that, too.

"Refresh my memory," the phoenix spoke coldly, his emerald eyes taking on that glossy, icy look as he gazed at the man.

The man smiled a truly evil smile. "You really shouldn't talk to your superior in that tone of voice."

Dranzer gasped, eyes wide with Dranon's mimicking his perfectly. There was no way.

This man was not only the creator of the "sacred spirits" but also was the once ruler of them so long ago.

-S-S-S-S-S-

Jet sighed, standing up and stretching his legs. After sitting in a chair for two hours, his legs were starting to go to sleep.

He gazed at his sleeping phoenix again. Kai had not changed. His fever hadn't even changed either. The sooner they got Dranzer back and the sooner they got out of this place and Kai to a hospital, the better he would feel.

Shouting alerted him to commotion from outside.

He made his way to the entrance of the tent, pulling back the flap and stepping outside to see what was going on.

There stood before him were the men from earlier. They all stood in a group, the rat beast leaning against a stone not too far away. Obviously, he wasn't back to normal standards thanks to Dranzer's attack.

The men were arguing with Tala and Tyson.

"We just want your little phoenix. We'll let the rest of you go, just give us your phoenix," one of the men stated, crossing his arms over his chest.

"You're not getting Kai!" Tyson yelled, getting more furious by the second.

Tala was not too far behind, a fang showing in the light. Jet heard him growl from where he stood a good few feet away.

"Give us the phoenix, or do you want the world do be destroyed?"

That made everyone stop.

"What do you mean the world will be destroyed?" Jet asked, making himself known to the others.

The men just smirked.

-S-S-S-S-S-

"W-What are you doing here?" Dranzer asked, eyes still wide as they stared at his "creator."

The man smiled. "Many things bring me here, young phoenix," he started, then turned around to gaze at the alter before them. It was completely made of gold with different symbols and designs plastered all over it. Crevices in the floor reached to the stand, but other than that, the room was bare.

"What is the one that you wish to speak about with Dranzer and myself," Dranon asked, referring back to his old ways of "respecting" the vile older man. Even back then, he never liked the man. Dranzer had been his favorite amongst all of the sacred spirits. Needless to say, he kept getting too close for comfort to the phoenix.

The man kept looking at the alter. "There is a prophesy dated back to even before my time, and I'm afraid that it is coming upon us."

"And what prophesy are you talking about?"

"The prophesy that includes your little masters and their friends."

"What do you mean?" Dranzer asked, taking a step to stand beside his koi.

"I'm afraid that one of your little masters will die."

-S-S-S-S-S-

Cliffhanger, yes, I know….

But I didn't know another way to end it…

It's short, but I was pressed for time..

Read and review, people!
