DancerInTheDark101 - Hyper? Never would have guessed! The sins play a part, though not large but kind of major - not making sense, but then again I never make any sense... Oh well, anyway the thing on the wall, I wrote, took me a while...Since it is much more than a warning, I shouldn't give out hints so early on, though only a good eye would possible get it.

Thanks for reviewing and adding this to favs and everything else!


Chapter 2


Not even getting to the front door, Tyson already knew who it was, the faint yelling and insults that were aimed at the fanatics that had made what it looked like second-homes in Grangers garden. He went slower to the door the slower meant that Hilary could exterminate more fan-people from his garden.

"Hilary…" Tyson grumbled, he had thought that he was going to be saved no doubt he was going to get shouted at for being late for school last week – or something else that was completely out of his hands.

"Tyson! Open!" The voice penetrated through the entire house, that girl certainly had a right to be heard after that. Tyson opened the door, and the brunette stormed inside, still yelling obscurities to the other folk outside.

"Ah, that's better." Hilary sighed as she took off her shoes and walked to living room, she hoped that she hadn't missed anything too much. Over the past year or two she had felt that she had become more and more distant towards everyone. Maybe it was just her?

"So how are-...?" Her eyes locked with Selene's and a strange aura came around the room. Selene didn't blink once meanwhile Hilary placed her hands on her hips. Rei was given the impression that this wouldn't start well.

"Why did you let a fan girl in?" Hilary shrieked at them all, as if they had committed a murder of their own. Kai couldn't help but take interest he wondered what Selene would do after being accused of being a fan-girl.

"They didn't." Was all Selene said, her voice blunt, she remained sitting, not even going to try to annoy this girl since she did seem pretty upset that she was here anyway. What was she doing – sitting on her piece of floor…? Selene's once amused self had turned slightly colder, she didn't like fan-girls. She despised being called one, she had no desire to run after some male that was probably not worth the attention, screaming his name and wanting to marry him and bare his children. No thank you….

Hilary narrowed her eyes, watching everyone closely, "Why are you still here? You should leave. Fan girls aren't welcome here you know!" She still had a strange feeling that this girl was totally untrustworthy. Hilary ended up glaring at Selene, and of she simply turned her head to ignore her.

"Who are you?" She shouted, everyone was a little curious and confused on why Hilary was being so protective, not like they minded when the actual fan-girls came. Selene stood up, and sighed, why did she had to get shouted at when all she did was want to fall asleep? She could feel a migraine in the near but distant future.

"My name is Selene, nice to hear you…" Selene rubbed her ear, mocking the other girl and her loud volume. She was sure that the brunette was going to be rather embarrassed when they all told her that she was not a random fan-girl.

"I'm Hilary." She crossed her arms, yet still was glaring fiercely at black-haired girl. Then Rei decided to try to calm things down before they got too far, even though it had been amusing for the first few seconds it was beginning to put some strain on his ear-drums. "We know her Hilary she's just her warning us about something,"

Hilary looked down at Rei, who was still sitting on the floor, "What was she telling you?" It was a little obvious that Hilary was more than curious on why there was another girl on the scene. Selene smirked she was rather bossy, though Selene was sure that she must have done something for the team or else she would not have been classed a fan-girl herself.

"That Kai may be in danger of being killed." Hilary's head snapped round to Selene who she had not directed the question to, though the moody brunette just sat down near the other girl and looked as if the concept had sank in incredibly quickly.

"What! How! Why!" Hilary began to question Selene, wondering why she had not been alerted with this sooner. Throwing the thought that Selene could be another fan-girl out of her mind, she began to think about what had just been said.

"See! She gets it quicker than all of you!" Selene was taken aback on how fast the brunette had fired the small questions at her. She also didn't seem to want to have an explanation behind it all, like the rest, she seemed pretty trusting. Selene was beginning to like the brunette a little more than she first had.

Kai on the other hand was standing against the wall again, not really caring. Why should he? It was as if he was now on the Top Five for People to Target. He gritted his teeth, he just wanted the floor to swallow him whole, or maybe even in small gulps – it would be much less painful that what he was feeling now.

What had he done? Nothing, absolutely nothing… He had just sat there! Kai closed his eyes lazily. On the outside it was as if he were bored or even tired. Inside he felt numb, confused and another few years of self-loathing had decided to come knocking again. There wasn't really anything he was living for – Sota had Aton now and wouldn't be alone.

Kai had made sure that Aton and Sota had bonded, just in case something had driven him over the edge. Whatever that could be, now that there was meant to be another killer after him? All he wanted to do was go outside and shout for this maniac to come and do his worst. In his own mind he was already dead.

"Kai…?" Opening his eyes he saw some concerned faces, but he shrugged them off mentally and stared at them blankly. "What'd you think?" Had they been discussing something? It sounded like it Kai was much too concerned in self misery to ponder over problems that would only help him end his life…

"Whatever." Kai had always used this for most questions that he would be asked, and he liked the fact that no one suspected anything when he said it in the same emotionless-tone. He had however, caused something to happen, which he wasn't too keen on, and that was that Selene was staying….For a while.

He sighed quietly and decided that a walk would be helpful in this low situation. If anyone tried to tell him that because he could be in danger and couldn't go out he would well and truly hurt them. As if sensing it no one made even a sound until Kai was out of ear-shot.

Kai frowned as soon as he left Tyson's dojo, he was happy that it was getting late and that most of those dear fans had left. He would have left quickly if someone hadn't come outside too. He quickly placed the invisible wall in front of him to block any sort of emotion from ever escaping.

"Kai. There's a news report on it – now. Come inside." Max smiled and left the door opened, hoping that Kai came back inside. It was just an update but hopefully it meant that Kai would have some sort of chance to live and not be hurt by this killer on the loose. Though something was annoying Max, if Selene had heard about it on the news how come none of the attacks were on at the moment?

Kai edged inside again, hating the television since it had stopped him from leaving completely. They all sat down, Hilary included, and watched the current update. It was a female reporter and she was standing in front of one of the smaller police stations.

"The blood from the wall was not from an animal, but of a college student that had gone missing a few years ago. Police believe that the writing was the killer calling card and that the names written on the memorial will be the next victims. So if your name is on that – you should get in touch with the police as soon as possible. Others of the area have to look out for suspicious looking people." Selene frowned, had they not even looked at the other parts of the message? Other than the names that could be seen as child-abuse on their own, Kai shrugged and stood up, he had no time for this.

He gave a fake, smug look to Selene who had turned to face him. "My name is not on the list so I'm not going to die." Unfortunately he thought bitterly. Why had his only chance of an easy escape left him? Then again maybe he would be given time to realise that this was just a phase of grieving and then be happy again; un-bloody likely.

"I still think you should be a little wary Kai, I mean you are rich and all and if you were to get hurt then there would be a lot of attention in the media." Max pointed out, he didn't really want to tell Kai that the threat was over, if someone was going to kill someone just for attention why not choose a famous blader that was rich?

"I'll be fine." Kai answered back in a tone all too familiar, he didn't really care if his friends were worried. Why should he worry when they were doing it for him? All he wanted was to go to bed, and lay there until his time ended. It didn't sound painful or even that promising.

"I think I'd better go to bed, jetlag…" Selene excused herself, she had asked where she would be sleeping and Hilary had been quite moody since she found out. It turned out that Selene would stay in the same room as Rei and Kenny, not like either of them minded.

No one watched as Selene limped lightly out of the room. All but one pair of crimson eyes noticed, after, they were shut over in thought. Why is she limping? That thought stayed with Kai for a while, until he went to his own room and slept or tried to. The nightmares continued to flood his once peaceful dreams.

He hated this dream, he knew this dream too well…The one where his mother would shout such horrible things. Such as, 'You are a horrible son, not even trying! Not even trying to save your own mother, you filth, you rotten boy, monster!' Then the voice of his Grandfather coming out of no where, laughing at him – insulting him, his father would appear then disappear, a small chuckle and the horrible words of hate that would be constantly said until Kai would wake up, feeling nothing but dread to lay back down.

Kai had tried, he really had, to come out of the down-ward spiral everything was going in. He did not know how to stop himself from falling deeper and deeper into self-loathing, one minute he was wondering why he hadn't done anything then he was insulting himself for not being able to do anything.

Then it had come to this, not being able to do anything without hate and self-pity taking over, even when his friends gave him worried and concerned looks he would just turn his back on them. Like he had done so many times before, he was a little confused on why he had thought that killing himself would be the answer, then other insults of 'Coward' and 'Weak' made him stop thinking of death and more of pain.


It was Kenny that was the first to awake in the middle of the night he hadn't thought he needed anything until he heard a sort of half mumble, half whimper coming from somewhere - in the direction of Selene's bed. He didn't really want to get up and see if there was anything physically wrong but the whimpering and muttering got worse, and Kenny decided he might as well make sure everything was okay. She was probably just having a bad dream…

When Kenny got up he accidentally woke Rei up, since he was naturally clumsy and Rei was good at using his ears, plus being stood on does make one wake up. Rei sighed and sat up slowly, rubbing his eyes from his light-slumber.

"Why are you up Kenny?" He yawned at thought that maybe he was late for something, but it was still dark, and Rei knew that Kai would never want them to get up this early. Kenny nodded over to where Selene was, she was still making distressed sounds, and even Rei had to admit she sounded quite afraid of whatever was happening in her dream.

Rei decided that the best way to solve this was to wake her up, she would go back to sleep and that meant so could Kenny – which would stop him from getting stood on. He staggered slightly as he stood and walked over, Kenny hissed. "You're not meant to wake someone up when their having nightmares." It wasn't very pleasant to have bad dreams, and then wake up with someone shouting and shaking the living day-lights out of them.

"So what are we meant to do?" Rei frowned and wondered why he was even bothering to argue, the dream would end and Selene would wake up and that meant they could all get back to sleep.

"I don't know!" Kenny shrugged not knowing what they could do to get Selene out of her nightmare. The two teenage boys ended up playing rock-paper-scissors, and since Kenny lost two times out of three, Rei decided to just go over and wake Selene gently up.

"Hey, Selene, wake up." He shook her lightly just trying to coax her out of the dream she was having and into reality. Slowly she he opened her eyes, suddenly noticing she was no longer being chased.

"Are you okay?" Rei frowned when Selene began to breathe heavily as she sat up quickly. She sighed as it finally sank in that she was now awake and safe. Rei and Kenny gave a concerned expression towards each other and turned back to the girl would looked as if she had been running a marathon.

"Bad dream, that's all." Selene smiled lightly just to make sure the two boys knew that she was now okay, she pondered on how much noise she had made this time. She was sure that she must have waked one or both of them up since they did look worried. She must have sounded very distressed, and it was not far from the truth. She was terrified.

"It seemed pretty bad, you sure you're okay?" Rei asked again, still a little worried, he had, on first appearance not liked Selene though she had tried to help Kai last year, even if she had endangered it in the beginning. She was a nice person at heart, just a little stubborn and completely lost when it came to choosing sides.

"It was only a dream." Selene lied and gave another smile hoping that the other two teenagers would go back to sleep soon. She lay back down and whispered a thank you, which satisfied both of the teenage boys, and they both went back to bed.

Selene pretended that she had fallen back to a peaceful sleep, but she lay awake unsure on how to fall asleep after another flashback. She was confused and slightly scared of falling asleep she didn't feel very safe after that incident had happened, though how was she supposed to tell everyone?

Tossing and turning quietly wondering when she would naturally fall asleep, though it just didn't seem to come, her eyes stayed open. She just couldn't fall asleep again, she decided she would at least do something, and left the room where Rei and Kenny were sleeping.

Her dark eyes looked around Tyson's home, she hadn't really cared much when she had first came here, but she was slowly growing fond of the fact that all of the rooms joined onto the living room. Which meant the kitchen wasn't that far away…

"What are you doing up?" The voice made Selene jump through her skin, she turned and saw Kai, and she sighed and relaxed slightly while she continued to walk – limp – towards the kitchen.

Kai walked after her though his eyes did not stay on her back and travelled down towards her limping limb. Her narrowed his eyes, was there something on her calf? The darkness made it hard to see things other than very light tones or very dark tones. With Selene's pale skin then a large line of darkness, there was defiantly something there.

"Getting a drink, yourself?" She would have at first thought it would be rude to do so, but Tyson didn't seem to care for manners and let anyone do as they wished within reason. She was thirsty so that was her excuse if anyone asked.

Kai didn't bother answering, he noticed that Selene had turned her back to him once again, though this time her leg tried to cover her painful calf. "Why are you limping?" Selene drank most of the water from the glass that she had got before she answered. She turned around and put her hands behind her, gripping onto the worktop.

"I'm clumsy I cut myself, by accident." Selene gave a quick smile that faded away just as fast as it had come. The answer did not settle the curiosity that was growing in Kai's mind.

"What did you cut yourself on?" He wasn't being kind or sincere and wondering how Selene had hurt herself. He was suspicious and believed that Selene was lying, really he didn't care which one Selene thought he was being he just wanted a truthful answer to his questions.

"Em…Ivy…." Kai blinked did she really think he was going to fall for that? That she got such a cut from Ivy of all things? He didn't really know if it was a deep cut or not but he was sure it was no Ivy cut.

"Spill. I know that you didn't slit your calf open with Ivy." He rolled his eyes when she raised her eyebrows in surprise. Did she really think he would fall for something so stupid? "I'm not stupid." A small smirk appeared on Selene's face, she seemed different from the last time he saw her, as if a huge weight had been taken from her shoulders.

"Really there's a shocking discovery." She mocked, and Kai glared back, even in the darkness, Selene could feel how annoyed Kai was getting with her avoidance of the question. Still she didn't want to lie to him, but she did want him to know something was wrong.

"Selene." He hissed, not wanting to keep this going on for too long, he was tried and he wanted to know – why couldn't she just hurry up and tell him? "Kai… Now that we have made certain what each other's names are; I bid you goodnight." She gave another quick smile that didn't hold any happiness or joy whatsoever.

Selene walked past Kai, thinking that he would simply let her leave, though it was quite the opposite. He grabbed her wrist as she walked by, and she felt that he would end up holding tighter if she even tried to move away so she stopped. "What are you hiding?" He muttered and left before Selene could think of a witty reply. She watched as he walked back to his room. She sighed and wondered if she should really say what had caused her leg to become marred in the way it was.


Author's Note: I think my writing is getting a little dark! Waa! Help me! Oh well, this is...an evil fic I guess it needs to have sad things in it. For those who don't like sad things, I'm sure I can come up with something nice, just to balance it all out! Please review!
