**************
Kicktoria slunk along the dimly lit corridors, her heartbeat erratic. Her shoe-clad feet made almost no noise against the smooth marble floor as she crept along the wall towards the Kuad. A draft blew along the hallway, making her long hair whip about her face. She shoved it out of her eyes, irritated. She clutched the object in her hand harder, relishing the feel of the smooth surface under her fingers for what could be the last time.
He was waiting for her. His dark eyes shone as they met Kicktoria's, sending a thrill along her body. His musky scent filled her nostrils as he strode towards her where she stood in the centre of the room. She stiffened.
His voice was smooth as molten chocolate. "Kicktoria. Krisp, klean, and on time as usual, I see."
"Shut up, Kekta. What do you want?"
His long fingers trailed her jawbone. "You know what I want."
Kicktoria pushed his hand away. "Stop it. I'm not giving you anything."
A slow, lazy smile spread across Kekta's features. "Who ever said I wanted something? I just need a little help."
Suddenly, the kool object between Kicktoria's fingers started to whir. A soft, insidious buzz filled the air. Kekta's smile morphed into a sensuous smirk. He extended a hand.
"Hand it over, Kicktoria."
"No! I will never--"
She was interrupted by a loud "kaboom!"
As shrapnel spittooned all over the Kuad, an alarmed Kicktoria staggered and tumbled straight into Kekta's outstretched arms. They fell to the floor in a heap, his warm, hard body enveloping her blubber.
And out of the light on the opposite side of the Kuad, on the side that the explosion had come from, there came a man.
His pearly white skin gleamed like the darkest storms of the midnight moon. His cape swished tantalizingly as it gently brushed the shattered koncrete.
Kekta and Kicktoria funneled to their feet.
"Yamino." Kekta growled menacingly, simultaneously peeling Kicktoria off of his chest. He then paced to the center of the debris-strewn Kuad, coming face to face with Yamino's frumious visage. "How dare you come here, when I am the one who arranged this meeting!"
Yamino gave a low, amused chortle. "But I arranged the menu, the venue, the seating."
He swept his arms wide, and Kekta went slack-jawed with bewilderment.
