Chapter 15: Secrets
Kyogen's POV
I freeze in the process of removing my shirt at a sound I dare to hope I misheard. Ice is in my lap, fingers twitching across mine as he listens as well.
Our hearts are both hammering in panic, then after what seems like ages he turns back to me and plants a kiss.
"Shift," he orders.
My cheeks darken into a blush.
"I…but…" I hear myself stammer.
"I prefer it, you aren't hiding then," Ice cuts off, smiling slightly and I finish removing my shirt before allowing my frame to shift into my hybrid form.
Ice smiles and steals a kiss.
"My mother would kill me," I groan as he chuckles against my neck.
"Not sure mine would be too thrilled either honestly," Ice replies before kissing me.
Over the last few days Ice and I have become close, far faster than either of us expected. I personally suspect its part of our intense curiosity and partially my desire to rebel against my mother.
But under all of that…I desperately want to have someone I can trust, someone who cares about me for being me.
I gasp as my attention is jerked back to Ice and where his mouth is currently placed.
"Gahh-aAHhh," I hear myself cry out and then his soft chuckle.
"You like that?" he teases.
"…yeah…" I pant weakly, trying to grasp control over my suddenly out of control hormones.
Ice kisses my thigh before again beginning to tease me by kissing up my stomach.
Then we both freeze as I hear the external door to my rooms open and close.
"Kyogen?" I hear my mother call.
"Shit," Ice and I hiss together.
"Hide!" I squawk and scramble to look presentable as Ice grabs his clothes and quickly retreats into my closet.
Just in time I pull on my pants, kick Ice's fallen shirt, and I hear the door to my closet click closed.
My mother walks in and frowns at me, green eyes boring into my two-toned gaze.
"Yes?" I inquire, trying to sound normal.
"Please return to human form," she instructs, "You are not…pleasing to the eye this way."
I flinch and bite down on my tongue to prevent myself from snapping a reply before shifting back into my human form.
I hate how she sees me.
"I have heard that the Hamatos have returned to New York, I want you to take Leonardo's mate and hold him hostage. Only then can our trap fall into place," she whispers, trailing a finger along my dresser.
My eyes briefly flick towards my closet where Ice is hiding before I frown at my mother.
"How to you propose that I capture this…Antonio?" I inquire, still frowning.
"However you please," she replies, "Hurt him if you must…just don't kill him."
And with that she grins at me before turning and walking away.
"One thing mother, I hope that my team I've been working on will be allowed their first outing?" I inquire, twitching slightly in anxiety.
Her piercing green eyes snap to me and her frown seems to twitch slightly before she gives me a curt nod. Then slowly her eyes sweep my room.
"Perhaps you should pick up this place…it is a mess," she states before walking out.
My heart remains tight in my chest until I hear the outer door click shut and then suddenly I let a breath out and turn.
Ice cautiously pushes my closet door open before peering out at me.
"That was too close," I groan as I collapse onto the bed and press my hands to my face.
Ice crawls up beside me and then straddles me before pulling my hands away.
"Now where were we?" Ice teases.
"I don't have time for-Ahhhahhh-never mind," I start out, groaning as he kisses my neck and then along my jaw.
Every inch of me screams for his attentions and I shiver in reply as he orders me to shift back.
Ice sits up and looks at me, his blue-grey eyes following the contour of my frame and along with them, one of his index fingers traces the muscles under my skin.
It feels wonderful.
"I think you're gorgeous," Ice states, lifting his gaze to meet mine, "I don't care what anyone else says."
In that moment, I know I love him.
"Thank…you," I whisper.
Its two hours later that I watch the sleek black Lamborghini speed out across the road heading out of town.
After my scout confirms the license plate as Antonio's, I signal the attack.
Two of my team members accelerate on black sports bikes towards the Lamborghini, cutting it off and forcing the driver to avoid them.
The result is a short, desperate jerking motion that is an obvious attempt to avoid the bikes by Antonio.
But, thanks to the traps we laid out, his tires blow out on one side and instead of evening out of his turn, Antonio spins out of control and slams to a stop.
I make my way forward as Ice pulls off his helmet and moves to open the driver's door.
As Ice knocks out and the grabs my father's mate, dumping the lean figure onto the ground my eyes snap towards the figure that scrambles out of the passenger side.
At first I half hope it's my father, but then I nearly cry out in shock.
My eyes widen at the sound of my name…she is like me…like me…
Then she bolts away and I dart after her, my hand just missing her jacket before she disappears into the alley.
"GET HER!" I order to my men, "NOW."
Three of my men scramble after her and I turn to Ice; he nods to me and kicks a foot into Antonio's side as the man groans in an attempt to wake up.
"Take him back to my mother and tell her we have another prize," I request.
"Be careful," Ice states before grabbing Antonio and turning with the other three in my team binding the tall man.
With that I turn and race after my men and the girl like me, I catch up to my men easily and surpass them but her; I can barely keep up with her.
She's faster than I am, and more agile.
Is she my sister that was supposed to have died?
I leap forward and grab at her jacket, just getting a hold of it but she twists out of it, stumbles and cries out as she hits the ground.
"Don't Kyogen!" she cries out as I move to attack her.
I freeze in surprise.
"You know my name?" I whisper in shock.
She stares up at me and manages a nod.
"Let Tony go, let me go," she pleads, "Please! Kyogen, be better than her. You don't have to be like her!"
I hear my men catch up and frown down at her.
Part of me wants to hit her, to hide from my fear and confusion over my parentage…but the other part of me wants to save her.
"Kyogen, please," she whimpers.
"Knock her out," I order before turning away.
"Kyogen!" she yelps before falling silent.
What do I do now?
