| Revo sat down, "This is both a simple and complex game, HunterKai. The idea is to use your available resources to capture your opponent, or entrap him without hope of escape," revo showed him how all the pieces moved, "However... this is only meant as a distraction... I can certainly understand if you'd rather not play." HunterKai looked over the pieces, "I think... a distraction would... be good." HunterKai sais, seeming unsure of his words. "Capture, entrap, not unlike what I myself have done. I... would like to play." Noticeing the empty mug, Twilight asks, "Would you like some more cocoa?" HunterKai looks down, "Yes... I would. I... never had this before." Picking up his mug, Twilight trys not to show how bad she feel for him, "Damn Nadless, doesn't even give them treats once in a while?" she thought as she walked to the kitchen for more cocoa. Kai21 drew some blood and takes it to the microscope. He agusts the computer connections to the scope so that Heather can view the sample from the next room. He starts a scan of the sample. Heather fliped the intercom on, "There's alot of white blood cells present. That rules out the Blight out, it surpresses the immune system untill there is almost no white blood cells left in the body." Heather watches the first of the results come in from the blood tests. "Red blood cells, normal, platlets, nornal, white blood cells, " Heather whistled, "4 times the normal level." "Then she's got an infection." said Kai21. "Yes, but that might not be her only problem." Heather finds a seat to wait for the rest of the test results. A few minutes later, Kai21 enters the new results so Heather can see them. Looking over the results, Heather feels slightly optimistic, but everything hinges on the clones genetic stability. Heather waits as Kai21 runs the blod threw the DNA sequencer. revo sat forward, "White queen to black knight, check." HunterKai frowned. "Not becoming... uncautious, are you? That chocolate will go to your head." revo smiled, "So, never had cocoa and never played chess... tsk. Care to tell me a bit more about yourself? I always like meeting interseting people." revo sat back, waiting for HunterKai's next move. MyKai watchs the chess game. His memories of Nadless clones are very bad ones. He observes, deceptively relaxed and quietly moniters the intake of cocoa. revo fives MyKai a subtle look while HunterKai ponders his next move, wonderingwhat MyKai is thinking, but attempting to communicate that she too is on her guard and observing as much as possible. She's rather torn between intense curiosity over this potentially dangerous anti-kai, compassion for his plight and that of his clone-friend, and a strong suspicion of his motives. She hopes her racing mind is hiding well behind her chess-face... she is usually told she's impossible to read, which comes in handy at times. HunterKai raises an eyebrow, "I was never programed to be uncautious. Cuning, quick wited, able to take others by surprise, like... this..." Revo realized to late that she had walked into a trap as HunterKai swoped in, taking her queen. Alexandra silently slips into the chair next ot MyKai, never taking her eyes off HunterKai. She also remembers her experience with anti-kais, the trill of the hunt, the satisfaction of the kill, drinking their protoblood. Though she still possesses a nagging doubt about HunterKai she is begining to believe he might be sincere. Heather was shocked. "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it. She's stable, her DNA's messed up bad but it's stable." "Should we start her on some penecilin?" Kai21 asked. "Yes." said Heather, "This girl's got more infections then fleas on a dog. If we get them under control, she should survive." Heather and Kai21 looked at each other threw the glass, "But it's gonna be a big uphill battle." "HA" revo swooped in, moving her rook to the last rank of the board, removing the offending black rook and enclosing HunterKai's king behind a barrier of pawns, prevented from escape by the bishop that had been hiding behind the queeen. "Checkmate! Another match?" HunterKai smiled ever so slightly, "Yes, I think we should try that again." revo reset the board, "For haveing never played the game before, you're quite a quick learner.... gave me a few scares. Thought you had me for a moment, in fact. Try playing white this time. There's a different strategy for eash side, as white's always a move ahead." As the night draged on, HunterKai's body may have been in the main hall, but his mind was in a small room, with the clone that had stolen his heart. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The Next Day..... Heather looks down at the lastest test results. She looks up at the faces of her firends as they sit around the large table in the main hall, "It's not good. The clone... my clone, has stopped responding to the penecilin. I've tryed several other antibiotics with little success." Heather rubbed her eyes, haveing gotten little sleep last night. "HunterKai is with her right now along with Kai13. He hasn't left her side all night." Heather closed her eyes, trying not to cry, "I don't know what to do?" Heather felt Twilight slip her arm around Heather's shoulders. Some of the ladies gathered around; angelmay, doffy, trill, Shewren, dgre, xev20, VisionAri, Foxtrick, all offering words of comfert. "Thanks, al of you. I don't know what I'd do without y..." Heather's voice cracks as tears filled her eyes. Downstairs, Kai21 stood beside Kai13 watching HunterKai, "Nadless is such a heartless pig." Kai21 growled soft and low. Kai13 leaned over, "He's been like that al night, hasn't said a word." Kai13 looks back at HunterKai, siting silently, holding the unconscous clone's limp hand, his eyes moveing from her face to the moniter and back to her face. Kai13 closed his eyes breifly, growling low, "DAMN Nadless, damn him to hell." |
