Kai13 whistled, "A week!! Geez, I better.." A loud shrek cut him off. Jumping up, Kai13 ran into the bathroom. Heather was sitting up in the tub, shivering and looking slightly blue, her arms wrapped around her chest. "I'm ffffrrrrrezing." chattered Heather.

"This must be the Cold." thought Kai13, as he quickly emptyed the tub and started the hot water. He grabed a towel. Rubbing briskly, he dryed her off and tryed to warm her up. Soon the tub was filling with hot water and Heather was looking less blue. Once she had settled into the steaming water, Kai13 walked back into the bedroom. Oddball was on his knees infront of the mirror, his hands and face pressed to the glass. Rolling his eyes, Kai13 said, "Hey Oddball, how'd you like to play with Jade?"

At the sound of his name, Oddball's head shot up, "Me??? Play with Jade-E-O??"

"Yup, you can even give her a brushing too."

"WOOOOOOOO WHOOOOOOOOO!!" Oddball leap up and bounded out of the room followed by the slaming of the front door and the rattle of the pictures on the wall. Sighing, Kai13 went back to the mirror.

Aunt Blossom, with a bewildered look on her face, said softly, "What an odd fellow."

*****
"Now what?" whispered Kai13.

"Now we wait." Aunt Blossom whispered back.

Inside the closet, Heather curled up on the floor. She would have cryed out in agony if it didn't hurt so much. All of her sences had been intencified 5 fold by the Extreme of Pain. The faint light filtering under the door glared threw her eyelids. The smell of the carpet and the clothing above her burned into her nose. Every beat of her own heart sounded like the strike of a sledgehammer inside her head. She could taste the dust in the air, like her mouth was full of gritty sand. But the worst was her skin. It fairly screamed with pain, every touch, every movement was torture. The carpet was a bed of needles beneth her but to move was even worse. She wanted to cry, she wanted to scream, she wanted.. she wanted....

It stopped.

Kai13 looked up at the clock on the wall. "It's been 3 minutes. How much longer?"

Aunt Blossom sighed softly, "There's no way of knowing. Not much longer, it never goes any more then 5 or 6 minutes." Kai13 felt like paceing by dared not, because it would make to much noise. A faint noise caught his attention. He listened intenty. It sounded like a purr, no, a growl. It was a little of both. It was comeing from the closet and it was getting louder.

"Oh dear." said Aunt Blossom, no longer trying to be quiet.

"What?" Kai13 looked between her and the closet Heather was in.

"It's the Hunger." The growl/purr got louder. Aunt Blossom was looking uncomfertable, "Ummm, I hope you are well rested."

"What?"

Aunt Blossom, blushing slightly said, "It's not food she's hungry for." The growling had reached a fevered pitch and Blossom was looking very flustered. "I think you should deal with this yourself."

"Wait.."

"Your on your own, boy." With that, Aunt Blossom taped the mirror on her end and disapeared. Kai13 was left stairing at his own reflection as the closet door burst open. He turned in time to be knocked to the floor. Heather leaned close to his face, pressing her naked body agenst him, her face near his. Bending closer, Heather niped his ear and growled, "I'm hungry."

Blossom's words suddenly rang in his ears, "a day to a week."

*****
It was quiet.

For the first time in four days, it was quiet.

The morning sunlight shone brightly threw the open window. Kai13 watched it dance across Heather's face. She slept peacefully, her hair framing her face and streaming across the pillow. Her skin shone under the light a healthy soft green. Trailing his fingers across her face, Kai13 savored this moment, memorizing how beauitful she was, laying here beside him. He let his hand trail down her neck and shoulder, tracing a path around her breast, and down to her stomache. He rested his head on her shoulder, marveling at how soft, how warm she was beside him.

Heather stured beside him, moaning softly. Opening her eyes, Heather smiled up at him. Smiling back, Kai13 leaned over, "Morning beautiful." Heather made to say something back, but stopped, a puzzled look on her face.

She remembered. Everything.

With a shriek, Heather sat up and grabed the sheet at the end of the bed, realizing she'd been laying there nakid. Her face burned as she remembered just how little clothing she'd been wearing the last few days. Kneeling at the end of the bed, she looked back at Kai13, who seemed to be amused at her actions.

"I... you... we!!" Heather tryed to pull the sheet over her head, only to have Kai13 grab it. Heather EEKed as Kai13 pulled her into his lap and pulled the sheet away from her face. Looking into his eyes, Heather blushed scarlet, remembering all the times they... Heather buryed her face agenst his chest, groaning. "I can't believe I..."

"Stop it." Kai13 said, stroking her head. "Don't you dare blame yourself."

"But I.... I..."
