Chapter: 30 Urge to KillThe sexual tension in the room was evident to the two men entering. They looked at each other , smirking as they walked farther into the room. Leo stepped back from the bed, his face turning a strange shade of pink.Carter was intrigued at this change in his boss. Leo's volatile temper made him hard to get along with. He didn't have many friends and always tried to make people fear him. It was Leo's way of maintaining control when people were trying to ruin his life.Kaden looked up at Flynn and Carter as they walked in. He immedietely noticed they were holding hands and smiled inwardly. He was really happy for them. He glanced at Leo, chewing on the inside of his lip. Could he be in love?Flynn looked serious as he sat down on a couch across the room. Carter shifted to KK's side, pulling his blanket up; his motherly side was showing. He checked, making sure the injured man was comfy, then went to sit down by his lover. They had serious things to discuss with Leo and KK.Leo arched a

Chapter: 29 Roses and a KissMr. Shoten sat in a room surrounded by members of the Board of Directors. They were there to discuss the Rapture project and it's implimentation. A secretary wandered into the room and stood beside the older man. She leaned down, whispering in his ear.A smile as wide as the Grand Canyon spread across his face as he nodded and looked to the BOD members. He stood, straightening his suit, puffing out his chest like a proud peacock."We have good news. Mr. Shin will be taking a break from work for the unforseable future. I wonder what could be so important that he would abandon his own company without anyone in charge."The men in the room began to chuckle, the visions of extra money in their pockets making them extremely excited. Mr. Shoten smirked evily as he glanced to a few key members of the BOD and winked. His plotting had gone his way for once.The room continued talking about the news for a while behind closed doors.Mage has no clue what has happened between her father and Leo.

Chapter: 28 ConfessionsAt the hospital, Leo sat next to KK in the ICU. He looked at the tubes and machinery hooked up to the private detective. He thrust his head in his hands in anguish. He began talking but KK wasn't awake to hear him. "Kaden, why did you leave the house? You were safe there. I'm sorry you had to hear all the things I said to Mage. I didn't mean a word of it..." He sighed heavily, reaching for the younger man's hand. Caressing the back with his thumb, he continued. "Wake up, will ya? I need to talk to you. I..." He choked back the lump in his throat and wiped a tear as it slipped down his worried, exhausted face. "I need you to get better. I need..." The door opened and a doctor entered. Leo stood waiting for the results and condition of his beloved. His eyes wide, the doctor could see the pain on his face. He smiled reassuredly as he walked towards the patient. "I heard from the nurse, this is your boyfriend?" Leo nodded, looking at the still body of Kaden. The doctor smiled eve

Chapter: 27 Confined SpacesA/N ;P (I wonder what this note could mean....this chapter will be a bit 'longer' than usual) >;P Flynn and Carter arrived at KK's PI office and noticed the door wide open. Pushing Carter behind him, Flynn pulled a pistol from under his shirt and aimed it towards the entrance of the room. Carter looked behind them, his hand holding the tail of Flynn's shirt. He wasn't cut out for this crap and what was happening terrified him. If it wasn't for Flynn, he would be cowering in a corner someplace. Flynn tapped the door open with his foot, stepping inside cautiously. He surveyed the room, taking note of the open window and the scattered files and papers on the floor. Seeing the room empty of people, he turned and flipped the light on. Carter closed the door behind them and stepped farther into the room. Carter sighed and started gathering the papers and files on the floor. He saw the phone smashed on the floor and had a momentary thought. 'Didn't the nurse give Leo a phone?' He look

Chapter: 26 Blood and TearsLeo ran into the hospital and headed to the emergency room. Teams of doctors and nurses were dashing around. Apparently, KK wasn't the only one having a bad day. Leo darted around, searching for the bed Kaden was in. He began to panic when he couldn't find him. He ran up two flights of stairs to the inpatient floor and spotted Flynn and Carter sitting together on a bench near the operating arena. Carter noticed Leo first and jumped up to stop him from barging into the OR. Flynn made himself a barricade as well. "Leo, slow down." Leo stopped, staring at the closed doors and the sign lit up red above. A tear formed in his eye and he slowly looked to the two men standing next to him. He noticed the look of worry on their faces and the tears began to slip down his tired face. Carter couldn't take it. His boss was tough, not one to cry...ever. He wrapped his arms around his boss without thinking and held him as the sobs increased. He swallowed back his own tears, holding onto the no-

Chapter: 25 Emotional WreckThe upside-down Audi smashed against the pavement in front of an oncoming garbage truck. KK turned his head, looking across the passenger seat, in time to see the smoke from the brakes of the truck as it attempted to stop before striking him. He braced for impact, not feeling the injuries he had already suffered. The truck managed to stop enough, barely tapping the side of the crushed Audi and spinning it around in the center of the roadway. KK vomited from the dizzying sensation and the pain he was beginning to feel. As he hung upside down in the car, it came to a stop on its roof. He chuckled to himself as the first thing he thought of was Leo. It was a shame he would never get to see him again. He thought of Leo's scent and closed his eyes as the pain began to overtake his thoughts of the man he could have fallen in love with. Hot liquid drifted down into his face from his torso. He felt dizzy still, maybe it was because he was hanging upside d

Chapter: 18 Arrival of The Dragon and The BrideTHE VEIL- Ri Il laughed hearing the report from Xun Zi that the dragon was marrying his bride. He held his stomach as it rolled repeatedly. Standing from his throne, he raised his arms up into the air. “I can’t be happier that I will have such a splendid stage to destroy the bride and render the dragon pathetic. Follow them. Keep a close eye on the stage and all its wondrous opportunities for her demise.” Xun Zi and the Shroud members walked out as hearty laughter continued with whoops of celebration between cackles. THE FOREST ROAD- Blended into the forest fluidly, the Shroud members watched and followed the procession of the wedding caravan. They made sure to keep their distance knowing the wolf and fox would sense their presence. Foretelling thunder sounded in the distance. The heavy limbs of the sheltering trees rattled together in the intermittent wind cruising through the thick forest. Huxian watched from a di

Chapter: 17 The Dragon's Impending WeddingJin An exited her room after spending the evening before celebrating with Ao Shun and the new family members. They had spent the dark of night shooting fireworks and dancing to music played by Huxian on his flute. The couple had decided they would celebrate and have a wedding ceremony that weekend and the staff of the manor began preparations. The dragon's bride would become the dragon's wife. Jin An was very nervous but she had seen that she couldn't leave if she wanted to. There was something holding tightly onto her heart, painfully tensing the palpitating muscle every time she even considered escaping her fate. The clouds were ominous as they hung in the sky. Distant thunder crackled across the heavens as if warning of an impending storm. The wind dusted across the treetops, red leaves and pink petals cascading down into the courtyard, almost looking like a shower of blood droplets as they floated to the ground, covering the white pavestones. No one noticed the i

Chapter: 16 The Dragon's New FamilyJin An stepped towards the family still on the ground. She laid her hand on the shoulder of the man and knelt down beside him. “What's your name?” The family stood together, looking around at their new home. He smiled to the young girl before him and bowed his head respectfully. “Miss, our family name is Gu. I am Gu Ming.” He looks to his family to introduce them all. “My wife, Gu Lan. My daughter, Gu Yi. My eldest son, Gu Long. And second son, Gu Bao.” Jin An smiled. She turns looking at Huxian, giving a coy smile to him while pointing her chin towards the back of the manor where a garden sits. “Do you think we can talk him into putting a small house back there for the Gu family?” She lifted her hands in front of her and rubbed them together as she blinked sweetly at the fox. With a huff, he nods once and walks off towards the main hall where he assumes Ao Shun vanished to. Jin An turns, clapping her hands together. “Well, now

Chapter: 15 Following the DragonPURGATORY- Zhou Shuren sat on his bed staring at the contents of the glass in his hand. The red liquid swirled in a circle just as his thoughts swirled in his head. He groaned and threw the expensive goblet across the room, the shattered remains scattering across the hard black tiled floor. Yao Fu stepped from behind the pillar protecting him from the sharp blades of glass. His eyes bowed low, he walked closer to the frustrated god. “Yan Wang, what is bothering you so badly on this beautiful, dark night?” The Purgatory King sighed heavily, “Why am I bothered by the fact that a human can do what I can’t because I am stuck in this hell?” He shook his head, long black hair falling from its binding, making him look as if insanity had taken it’s hold. “I should be the one killing her; to destroy the dragon’s happiness and power. But instead, I have to depend on the disgustingly immoral Ri Il to do the work for me. I get nothing out

Chapter: 14 The Dragon's SwordLangshen stood just beyond the road peeing into a bush. He watched Huxian running with the child, the others behind them, stumbling as they ran. He didn’t know what was happening but the panicked look on the fox’s face worried him. Dashing towards the sedan, he took the child as it was thrust towards him. The remaining four gathered behind the wolf and turned staring down the road at the ones chasing them. Coming into view, fifteen bandits sped towards them. Some of the bandits were limping but all carried swords and wore green half-masks. Langshen sat the child on the sedan and stepped in line with his two best friends. “How should we handle this?” Langshen wasn’t really asking what to do, he was just curious as to whether they could use their powers or not. Ao Shun glanced sideways at him, shaking his head, “Not unless we need to but don’t kill them with your power. You know the consequences of that.” Langshen chuckled and took a step forwar

Chapter: 13 Vigilant DragonA brilliant, full moon lifted over the forest, creating shadows across the narrow road from the temple. Just a few minutes before midnight, Ri Il paced back and forth impatiently. His dream of becoming an immortal human would finally come true.His men gathered and bowed before him. They awaited his transformation, some silently wondering if he would change physically from the elixir, becoming a monster. Most of them were loyal to the insane man. He had given them riches beyond thier imaginations for the time period. Others were too terrified to ever leave and suffered with the guilt of the hundreds of murders they had been a part of.Ri Il yells, "AHHHHH, it is time...who will rise with me and follow me through this life?" A widespread hum silenced the night insects and birds in the forest.Pulling the sealed top from the bottle, Ri Il took a sniff. A red essence hovered between his nose and the opened top. His mouth crept into a conveluted smirk. H
