Where the ice monster sleeps...[Kai Shin]

[Kai Shi]

“You won’t let it go would you? You question, why? Because like I said befor this one subject I’m not comfortable talking about,” he said. To be exact, he didn’t feel comfortable talking about it to Scarlett. He wouldn’t mind talking about it to others like Mu-n. Then again, he wouldn’t be comfortable telling her either. Talking Mu-n just screams blackmail all over it.

Kai nodded in agreement for starting a fire. Now is a good time to get some heated and the cold air was begging to invade Scarlett’s home. Just then he felt a large tug from Scarlett leading him and Kelly to the room with the fireplace. Kai could of easily dodged it, but then again he was to lazy to move out of the way and what would be the point in doing so? He then chuckled at Kelly’s response about having no light. “You don’t like not having lights? I get to light 24/7,” he joked. Kai didn’t joke much, but this time he couldn’t resist.

When the fireplace finally started Kai could feel and increase in temperature already. It felt quiet nice, the heat emitting from the fireplace. He then went and sat in front of the fireplace. He folded his legs as if he was meditating, which was true to an extent since he was going to meditate after Scarlett and Kelly go to sleep. The cracking noise that came from the fireplace did annoy him somewhat, but he soon got used to it. He then nodded his head when Scarlett said she was going to get the cat.

Once she returned with the cat Kai said “I believe you should get some rest. You seem sleep deprived.”

[Scarlett Dark]

“You won’t let it go would you? You question, why? Because like I said before this one subject I’m not comfortable talking about,” He said and Scarlett laughed softly.
"Of course not, it is not in my nature to let secrets go. But since you are my partner I will drop the matter for now, seeing as you are not comfortable with discussing it at the present moment." Scar stated bluntly and her inner detective cried at the loss of such a great bit of Kai's past that it could have used to exploit him. She watched Kelly get underneath the quilt and bedsheets. Kelly promptly went to sleep.

“You don’t like not having lights? I get no light 24/7,” Kai joked and Scarlett laughed a little at his joke. The fire made Scarlett want to stare at it for all eternity. Her golden eyes reflected the dancing flames almost perfectly before she broke her trance and looked at Kai, he seemed to be meditating. How quaint...
"That was a good joke, but it pulls down your self esteem." She said quietly, thinking that he was half asleep.

“I believe you should get some rest. You seem sleep deprived.” He said and she sighed bitterly.
"Even if I tried I wouldn't be able to sleep. Doesn't matter why, only that I can't. I'll keep the fire going...you get some rest. After all, you must be exhausted because you've had to put up with me." She said with a soft smile before petting the sleeping cat gently.

[Kai Shi]

“Lower my self esteem huh? Well, I don’t tell many this because most never ask, but even though I can no longer read, see beautiful sights, or enjoy the pleasures of color there are other things that more then makes up for it. My abilities give me insight in some of the most beautiful things hidden to the naked eye. My other senses more then make up for it. You lose something and yet you gain something more,” he explained. Kai never told many people about what he really sees. Most of the time when people hear that he is blind they just assume that he is a poor and helpless being. In actuality Kai was more aware of his surroundings then most.

Kai chuckled a little when asked to go to sleep. “Very well, Call me if anything comes up,” he said before closing his eyes and laying his back on the hard floor. Soon enough Kai’s constant shooting of echo pulses from his mind began to slow to the point where it was pitch black. “By the way, please don’t set the building on fire when I’m asleep.”

[Scarlett Dark]

“Lower my self esteem huh? Well, I don’t tell many this because most never ask, but even though I can no longer read, see beautiful sights, or enjoy the pleasures of color there are other things that more then makes up for it. My abilities give me insight in some of the most beautiful things hidden to the naked eye. My other senses more then make up for it. You lose something and yet you gain something more,” He said and she nodded in semi-understanding.
"Indeed, many people would think you are at a disadvantage, being blind and all...but its quite the opposite." Scarlett said and turned her attention to the fire, putting a few pieces of wood onto the flames before stoking it a little.

“Very well, Call me if anything comes up,” He said before laying down on the floor and she waited for him to continue speaking. “By the way, please don’t set the building on fire when I’m asleep.” When he said this her eyes lowered to the floor and she moved away from him. Scar found a pillow and waited till she was sure he was asleep, before swiftly lifting his head up and putting the soft pillow underneath it.
"Good night, have a nice sleep Kelly and Kai." She breathed softly and tucked Kelly in before placing a thin sheet over Kai. No sense in the boy getting a chill for no reason, nor should he get overheated. Hence the thin sheet.

(Time skip!!)

Scarlett awoke with a start, scrambling up from where she had fallen into an exhausted sleep upon the floor next to the fire. The fire was down to embers, so she added more wood pieces and stoked the fire once more. She rubbed her arms to get the blood flowing through them again, she had cut off the circulation to them by the way she had been laying down.

Her breathing quieted and she looked out through the blinds to outside. The ground was covered in large amounts of snow and no one was daring to go outside as the snow was still falling. She stood up and stretched before building the fire up a little more. Her tousled red hair fell in waves around her pale face and she sighed quietly. The cat woke up and yawned slightly, stretching also.
"Good morning sweetheart, did you sleep well huh kitty?" She whispered and the cat hurried over to her before wrapping itself around her legs and purring. She giggled softly and smiled gently.

[Kai Shi]

“And she is alive,” Kai said opening his eyes from his mediation. He had already awoken an hour ago but instead of sleeping he had gone into meditation. He had really realized the dyeing ember mostly because of the fact that when meditating his senses towards the outside world closes. “Kai looked over to Kelly who was still out cold. “You friend sure does sleep a lot doesn’t she?” Kai then looked over to the cat. Even the cat was awake before her and that was something.

“So, whenever this snow clears up, what should our next move be? Assuming that target is a human, it should be fairly easy to put him into submission. Do you have any abilities that can be used to capture him alive? Or should I take care of it,” he said in a whispered tone. He didn’t want Kelly to hear if she was awake because he was yet to know of she was indeed a human or like him. And if she was on their side or not.

In any event, Kai had a feeling a storm was coming and not just the snow outside.

[Scarlett Dark]

“And she is alive,” Kai said and opened his eyes, Scarlett laughed softly at this comment.
"Unless you were expecting me to die during the night, of course I am alive." She replied before sitting down on a pile of pillows in the corner of the room.
“You friend sure does sleep a lot doesn’t she?” Kai asked and Scarlett's golden yellow eyes glanced over at her sleeping friend. Scar then looked at the cat as Kai did, thank goodness she'd taken the cat inside last night. Maybe she should keep it as a pet now?

She pondered this before turning her head to watch the fire. When he spoke he startled her so much that she actually jumped a little.
“So, whenever this snow clears up, what should our next move be? Assuming that target is a human, it should be fairly easy to put him into submission. Do you have any abilities that can be used to capture him alive? Or should I take care of it,”Kai whispered and Scarlett smirked before walking over to him and sitting in front of him.
"We can find where he lives and capture him when he leaves to go to the nightclub on a Wednesday. I have an ability, sure...but I need to get up close and personal to use it." She answered before touching a fore finger to Kai's jugular briefly.

"I need to get to that part of the body in particular. Maybe we can capture him at my workplace?" She said briefly before looking at the bed to check that Kelly was still asleep. She was, but she was getting closer to the time she would usually wake up.
"Besides, I haven't seen how well you fight yet. I don't know if you're bluffing...." Scarlett added, she wanted to see if he had any buttons to push and how she could push them.

[Kai Shi]

Kai felt a chill go down his spine. “You are quiet deadly aren’t you,” he said. It made him being to wonder what her other abilities may be. Just then he had an odd feeling. He hadn’t had this type of feeling in along time and it also began to get him a bit nervous. He then moved his body away from Scarlett’s touch. “I get a little touchy sorry,” he said afterwards.

Kai chuckled at Scarletts attempt to provoke him. “Is that I challenge I hear?” he asked still laughing a little. It was times like these he kind of wished he could see. All this time, he doesn’t even know what Scarlett looked like, how her face was shaped, the color of her hair, nothing. Even with Kai’s ability he couldn’t see what she truly looks like. But, he figured he would change that soon enough. “I know it sounds weird especially at this time, but we should head to the beach some time.” He hoped Scarlett wouldn’t make a fuse about saying such a thing, but he had a feeling should would let out some kind of joke.

Kai was quiet for a little bit. “Let’s just say I can see things quiet well underwater.”

[Scarlett Dark]

“You are quite deadly aren’t you,” He said and she laughed gently, how interesting...he thought that her venom could kill someone.
"Not with my second ability, no...it is used for immobilizing victims. It acts much like the symptoms of too much alcohol or something similar. Nausea, having your meal make a second appearance...things like that." She said and smiled a little, but looked a little surprised as he moved away. Was she that bad of a partner already?

“I get a little touchy sorry,” He said and she shrugged one shoulder slightly.
"No, no its fine...there's no need to apologise." She said with a slight laugh before he started laughing at her attempts to goad him into at least yelling at her.
“Is that I challenge I hear?” He asked, still laughing a bit and she smirked before an idea came into her head.
"Maybe it is...maybe it isn't." She said vaguely before he said something that didn't surprise her one bit.

“I know it sounds weird especially at this time, but we should head to the beach some time.” He said and she looked at him patiently...wanting him to squirm.
“Let’s just say I can see things quiet well underwater.” He joked and she laughed a little.
"You're curious...aren't you? To how I look I mean. But considering how I treat people anyone would be curious about more than my looks." She said and chuckled gently. "You lasted longer than I expected...I thought you would be bursting with questions as to why I am the way I am. But then again I do confess, they usually get me to give the new Serpentes a crash course in survival. I was expecting you to be a newbie that I could play mind games with. What a pity...but I'm not really complaining any more. Just don't get to close when I'm ready to bite." She confessed this before leaving the bedroom to find something for them to eat.

She came back with a pot and some quick cook oats, honey and some milk.
"I'm only cooking this time because Kelly is still sleeping. It's oatmeal...no substitutions." She said before putting the oats in the pot, then the milk and sticking the pot into the fire, the handle was to the side so it wouldn't get too hot. She stirred the oats occasionally.

[Kai Shi]

“Well, If it is a challenge I am certainly going to look forward to it,” he said chuckling a little. It was odd, Scarlett didn’t seem to be as tough as last night. Kai also had a feeling that this image of her wouldn’t last long. Maybe she does this tough act in public? Kai wasn’t sure. “I assure you, I am far from a mere newbie. Maybe that is why Mu-n assigned us together? I don’t usually ask personal question unless it’s entirely needed or brought up by another. But, you already know this don’t you. Why I want to know what you look like? Well, we don’t all have the luxury of know what your partner looks like no don’t we?”

He then got up from where he was sitting to see how cold it was outside. Surprisingly the temperature was dropping again. But, something even more surprising was behind the window. Down in the assumed uninhabited streets walked a dark figure. It was non-other then their target, Dean Mull. Of course this knowledge was still unknown to Kai as he went back to where Scarlett was and said, “It looks like the temperature is warming up. Soon enough there was a knock on the door.

Kai turned to Scarlett “Were you expecting any guests?” he asked. He had a bad feeling about what was to come. No one would travel through the snow like this for a visit. It must have be something important. He then got up and made his was to the door. “Who is it?” asked Kai.

“An old friend. I heard you were in this district and I just want to talk,” said the person behind the door. The very moment the strange spoke Kai knew exactly who it was. He opened the door quickly, jumped out and pinned him to the wall the right of the door with his elbow. Kai didn’t want to bring him in because there were “civilians” inside. “What do you want,” said Kai coldly in a quiet tone.

“Listen man, I’m just here to say sorry for what happened back then. I mean I was naïve and then there was peer pressure. Also She just seemed so sad.” Before he could continue Kai cut in. “Don’t you ever mention her in front of my presence again,” he said strictly. He wasn’t exactly yelling, but one could tell he was dead serious.

“Sorry, look after what happened I just felt guilty. I mean we were all such good friends.”

“Friends don’t let friends get their eyes pulled out. Friends don’t help mobs burn down a their friends house. And Friends never try to kill each other. No get out of here before I show you how deadly I can be.”

“Ok, ok, let me go. Please.”

Kai then eased his elbow of his former friend’s throat. He was able to walk in the door befor his former friend said “I started a new life you know. I even changed my name. That person back then died. My new name is Dean Mull.” Kai then stopped for a minute. “What was your new name again?” Kai asked as if he didn’t hear his friend the first time.

“Oh, my new name, Dean Mull. Why you…”

He stopped himself. Dean knew exactly what it means. He quickly turned around and made his way to the exit. But, it was to late. Even though Dean was fast, Kai was faster. Kai then punched Dean’s back as he was running temporarily effectively paralyzing him. Kai then grabbed him and made his way back to the door. “I didn’t know you had the power to paralyze people?”

“I can’t. A little thing I learned back in anatomy class. I never used it back then when we were sparring for fun because I didn’t want to hurt on accident.”

“But, you’re an Aquilla.”

“Hate to break it to you…Dean… But, who ever told you that was wrong.”

Kai the placed his paralyzed body on the couch. Kai hoped Kelly was still asleep even from all the sound that was made outside. “Care to help me Scarlett,” he asked in hopes of witnessing, even though he was blind, Scarlett’s second ability.

[Scarlett Dark]

“Well, If it is a challenge I am certainly going to look forward to it,” He said with a small chuckle and she laughed softly. But then stopped, locking the humour and other emotion away. What the hell was she thinking? She was letting him see what was beneath her ice cold armor. Then he continued to talk to her, he was opening up a little.
“I assure you, I am far from a mere newbie. Maybe that is why Mu-n assigned us together? I don’t usually ask personal question unless it’s entirely needed or brought up by another. But, you already know this don’t you. Why I want to know what you look like? Well, we don’t all have the luxury of know what your partner looks like no don’t we?” She didn't answer, feeling a little vulnerable, but then she found her voice.

"She assigned us as partners to get me over my strong...feelings about males. You flatter me Kai, I am not that smart...but I believe that in some way or another that you can still see, whether it be things within a person or vibes or something." She said as he got up and went to the window.
“It looks like the temperature is warming up." He seemed to be looking at something down below them, but she didn't put it together until someone knocked on the door.
“Were you expecting any guests?” She got up with the grace of a panther and shook her head.

"No, not many know that I reside here." Scarlett said before following Kai out to the living room and stopped, letting him answer the door.
“Who is it?” He asked and she couldn't see the person's face, Scarlett had an awful feeling deep within her gut.
“An old friend. I heard you were in this district and I just want to talk,” As soon as the person was done talking she felt the change within Kai, he moved so quickly and she cried out in surprise. She hid on the other side of the wall that separated her from Kai and the mystery man.

“What do you want,” Kai said and she brought a hand to her lips, she had never heard Kai say something in such a frightening voice.
“Listen man, I’m just here to say sorry for what happened back then. I mean I was naïve and then there was peer pressure. Also She just seemed so sad.” The man said and Kai then cut him off.
“Don’t you ever mention her in front of my presence again,” Kai stated in a strict voice and Scarlett tuned them out for a little while. What were they talking about? The reason why Kai was blind? The questions jostled for attention in her mind and she soon had a head ache.

“Friends don’t let friends get their eyes pulled out. Friends don’t help mobs burn down a their friends house. And Friends never try to kill each other. No get out of here before I show you how deadly I can be.” This brought involuntary tears to her eyes, both for sadness over what happened to Kai and the death of her mother.
“I started a new life you know. I even changed my name. That person back then died. My new name is Dean Mull.” The unknown man stated and Scarlett choked out a gasp. Then Kai said something and she heard running and the sound of a fist coming into contact with flesh.

“But, you’re an Aquilla.” Dean Mull stated and Scarlett's heart pounded quickly and she swallowed thickly. This man was Dean Mull and Kai had once been an Aquila...oh God.
“Hate to break it to you…Dean… But, who ever told you that was wrong.” Kai placed the paralysed man on the couch and she moved into Dean's field of view. He had been a friend when he had found out about her home life...now he was her target.
"Scarlett! Oh God, what's going to happen to me?" The man asked before noticing her still flowing tears. "Why are you crying Scar?"
"Hello old friend...I cry because of pain. I cry because of my mother's death in a fire that someone set." She said in a shaky voice before touching Dean's face with a pale hand.

"Care to help me Scarlett,” Kai asked and Scarlett swallowed slowly, wiping away her tears with shaking hands. She went and got a bucket for Dean, Scar placed the bucket on the floor beside Dean's head.
"I am so sorry Dean, so sorry...." She said quietly and he smiled softly at her.
"Just do what you have to Scarlett..." He said and she nodded before turning her head to kiss him on the cheek gently. She then found his jugular and licked the place that she was going to bite. Dean's breath hitched and then she opened her mouth and bit swiftly.

He hissed in pain and she injected some of her venom. Scarlett then lifted her fangs out of the wounds. She pressed a gauze pad to the two neat pinpricks and swiftly turned him over, his head over the bucket.
"There, it is done. I did not enjoy it and I do not like biting someone that was once a friend. Even if he did know who killed my mother in that fire." She hissed to Kai before looking sadly at Dean.
"That hurt Scar...your bite is worse than that bark of yours." Dean joked and Scarlett smiled ruefully before going back into her bedroom to get something. When she returned, Dean was sicking up his breakfast.

As she passed Kai she stopped and sniffed gently.
"At least he tried to apologise, I suppose your other friends have not come to see you in person to apologise for doing whatever they did." She said in a quiet tone before walking into the kitchen and supported herself by leaning on a cupboard. She served up the porridge from the pot she had taken from the bedroom fire. She put honey on hers and Kai's before sticking a spoon in each bowl.

She ran a hand through her hair in guilt and then grabbed the bowls, about to go into the living room.
"Scarlett's a pretty girl Kai...hair like fire and eyes the colour of gold. Careful that I don't steal her." Dean stated and Scarlett blushed lightly before walking out of the kitchen with her head held high.
"I'm not that great looking and you can't steal me if I'm not even taken in the first place. Besides, as far as I'm concerned...all males are a waste of time." She replied and Dean scowled a little.
"Like your dad?" Dean asked and Scarlett gave Kai his breakfast before placing Kelly's in the fridge.

[Kai Shi]

Kai noticed something odd about Scarlett. The way she acted, the remorse, it wasn’t how Scarlett would act. Kai didn’t like it. Even though he knew this was a good thing to show compassion, he still didn’t like it. He didn’t know why he didn’t like it, he just didn’t. What was more odd was Scarlett’s verbal attempt to defend Dean’s action. “My other friends are all dead,” he replied.

He went over to where Dean could view him. “Well, Dean, it looks like the tables have turned.”

“You can do what you wish with me. If it will make you happy.”

“I will, in time. First comes the interrogation.”

Kai went over to the bedroom and closed the door quietly. So it may help stop the sound of pain from reaching Kelly and the cat.

Kai then picked up the bowl of oatmeal and eat a spoon full. “Tell, me why did you change your name?” At First Dean was hesitant. He preferred not to say anything. But to Dean’s luck, Kai wasn’t a newbie in interrogation. Kai then jabbed his stomach sending pulse waves in Deans body. In the outside, it seemed like a harmless friend jab. But on the inside Dean felt a jolt of pain. But, he didn’t scream. He just held it all in. No matter how angry Kai was, he would never let his power gets out of hand. But, still Dean didn’t say a thing.

Kai then smiled “You know I always found the mind to be easier to work with.” The then raised his index finger as pointing and was about to place it on his head before Dean yelped.

“Ok, ok. I did it to prevent them from coming after me. They threatened to kill me if I left. But, I mustered up enough courage to leave.”

Kai then laughed a little “You don’t need to worry. They are all no longer breathing.” But, judging by Dean’s facial expression, he knew something that Kai didn’t. “When was the last time you had contact with them?”

“Well, I met you know who a week ago.” Recalling how Kai didn’t want him to talk about his old girlfriend. Kai then stopped eating. He placed the bowl down.

“So, she did survive,” said Kai slowly.

Dean nodded slowly. “She came to me and asked about you.”

“What did you tell her?”

“Nothing, all I said was that I haven’t contacted you ever since that event happened.”

“You better not be lying for you sake. Do you know where she is now?”

Dean shaked his head. Kai could tell Dean didn’t know because if there was one thing Dean was scared, it was having his brain bashed by Kai’s pulse waves. He then got up and allowed Scarlet to have her turn in the interrogation.

[Scarlett Dark]

“My other friends are all dead,” Kai said and Scarlett sighed, closing her eyes to the world she now knew.
"I wonder why." She said in a calm voice and felt numb all over. She curled up in the arm chair and watched with difficulty as Kai approached Dean.
“Well, Dean, it looks like the tables have turned.” Kai said and Scarlett plugged her ears with her fingers, knowing what would come next. The only thing she did hear was this sentence:

“So, she did survive,” This was from Kai, and Kai soon stepped back. She uncurled herself from the arm chair and walked over to stand in front of Dean.
"Were you paid to keep me away from my house while someone set a fire that would ultimately kill my parents?" She asked the most painful question first and Dean turned pale.
"Yes, I was paid. I'm so sorry about this Scar-..." She held up her hand and he quieted.
"Was it because of the fact I helped to kill Michael Lucas?" She asked and Dean sighed.

"Yes Scarlett, the young woman in question told me to keep you away from the house as long as possible." Scarlett chuckled darkly and Dean looked at her warily.
"Who is she in relation to the previous interogator?" She asked and Dean looked nervously at Kai's figure. "Dean....DEAN! Ignore him. I am the one asking questions of you."
"She is Kai's previous girlfriend." He said and Scarlett breathed in deeply.

"I see. Do you know why I have not been able to sleep for two years?" She asked and Dean looked up at her.
"Yes. You need a body that is warmer than yours to sleep next to. Seeing as your mother used to sleep in the same bed as you to escape being abused by her husband you got used to the warmth. So used to it in fact that you can now no longer sleep because no one will sleep in the same bed as you." Dean said and Scarlett began to sway on her feet as lack of sleep hit her like four hundred tonn of bricks.
"Scarlett...SCARLETT! Hey, Kai she's swaying.....I can't move remember." Dean looked on helplessly as Scarlett swayed for a moment before falling sideways into a crumpled heap.

[Kai Shi]

Kai was furious at Dean for tell Scarlett that “She” was his old girlfriend. Dean was going to get it when Scarlet was done, but that subtle ending when Scarlett suddenly collapsed on the floor. Kai quickly ran down to where she was. The moment he touched her skin he noticed it was unusually cold. At first Kai thought the only reason Scarlett’s finger was cold was because of the cold whether. But, he knew it was because of her abilities. Kai quickly wrapped his arms around her body.

He could hear Dean yelling in the background. “Shut your trap or I can’t save her!” yelled Kai. Dean soon quieted down afterwards. He then pressed his forehead against Scarletts. Kai then closed his eyes and began to emit his energy pulse. A skill that has the ability to disable another Ryougans’s power. Kai hoped it would help increase her temperature. Just then something occurred that happen not happened in a long time. A tear came out his left eye.

He then began to press his body on Scarlett in an attempt to warm her body up more. After 10 minutes of emitting his power and trying to warm her up Scarlett’s temperature began to rise. For once in his life Kai wasn’t so concentrated with everything going on around him. He didn’t notice Dean getting up from the couch and running out of the room. By the time he Kai realized it Dean had completely vanished from his radar.

Once her temperature began to increase Kai slowly picked her up, still concentrating on keeping his energy pulse flowing through her body. He then went over to a couch as sat down with Scarlett sleeping on top of him. There he waited for her to wake up.

[Scarlett Dark]

Scarlett felt like she was drowning, then she began to feel hot. Like someone was raising her body temperature. That was when the night terror started, she saw her old house on fire. Scarlett began running away from the house but no matter how far she ran the house was always right behind her. In the world outside the dream she let out a small wimper and grasped Kai's shirt in one fist.

The dream then changed to when she had found her cat, torn a part and left for her to find. People were laughing at her and watching Scar hug the cat's torso to her own. She was crying, soft sobs wracking her body and making her shudder. Then her cat's head turned around to face her on the bed and bared its teeth at her.

Scarlett woke up with a start and realised that she was being craddled in the arms of another person.
"Hot....why am I hot?" She croaked to no body in general and blinked in a dazed fashion before snuggling closer to the body that was beneath her own.
"Warm.....safe." She murmured before her hand slid over the person's chest and felt a heartbeat. Scarlett's eyes flew open and she squeaked with surprise, peering up at the blue haired being as she did so. She then touched a lock of the blue hair and giggled softly.
"Oh! It's real! My favourite colour too!" She gasped in a child-like mannerbefore the final fog of sleep left her mind.

She sprang away from Kai and stumbled a little, falling onto her butt on the floor. She blushed as she thought of what she'd said.
"Um....please don't pay attention to me when I just wake up...wait, I slept?! What....How?" She gaped at Kai before rubbing her arms, slightly missing the warmth that Kai had given her.

[Kai Shi]

Scarlett had been out cold for around an hour before she woke up. When Scarlett jumped Kai’s concentration of sending energy pulses through her body was quickly severed. Kai then gave a small smile. He had been thinking over the hour about many things. Why did he cry? What did he care so much for her partner. But, most of, to tell her the truth about his past. But, he figured that could wait, he didn’t want her to worry right after she woke up from sleeping. Kai had a feeling she hadn’t slept in a long time.

But, what took him off guard was how she reacted when she woke up. He really didn’t know what to say. How she snuggled in his arms. “Well, apparently you just needed to be with someone to comfort you,” he replied softly. He then got up and went over to the window to check up on the climate. It was no longer snowing. It was actually quiet a cool day now. “It seems that the snowing has ended.”

“Dean had gotten away. If your wondering why he is no longer here.” He answered. He then got up slowly. Having someone sleeping on him for so long had made his legs fall asleep. “Did it feel nice? To sleep?” he asked.
