Chapter 1

"Your Excellency." Boris gave a slight bow. "Am I interrupting something?" He indicated towards Tysa who was still holding Kai's hand.

They both blushed. "No." Kai turned to Tysa. "You may leave. Good day, Ms. Kinomiya." Tysa nodded. "Good day." Kai and Boris watched as she left the study in a hurry. 'What the hell just happened?'

The young czar turned to Boris and frowned. "What?" Boris smirked. "Nothing. Absolutely nothing." He watched as Kai nodded stiffly. "Right. Is there a reason as to why you barged in here?"

Boris' face turned serious. "Yes. Your grandfather wishes to have an audience with you. Immediately." Kai sighed. "For what?" His frown deepened when the older, Russian male spoke, his voice holding a note of fear. "Ian and Bryan."

"What happened?" Boris stiffened. "Ambush."

"With whom?"

"Rick Anderson, the leader of the Resistance." The purpled-haired Russian inwardly smiled at the cold tone in the young ruler's voice. "That fucking criminal."

"That's not all." Kai's eye snapped to attention as Boris opened a manila folder that he'd been holding. His black eyes scanning the page, obviously looking for something. "Well, we uh..have reason to believe that..he's…" He scratched his head. "Well.."

Kai growled. "Just spit it out already, Boris! He's what?"

"We have reason to believe that Mr. Anderson is involved with your sister." He continued when Kai said nothing. "We have surveillance videos of them together as well as witness reports." He handed Kai a black and white photo of Hilary and Rick together in a bar, both smiling and clearing having the time of their lives.

The dual-haired enigma's hand shook as he stared at the photo. Rage and fury ran through his veins and it took him every bit of strength he had not to lash out and break something. "Where the fuck is he? Do we know his location?" He looked to Boris, clearly expecting an answer.

"Yes we do. On one occasion, Ms. Hilary went to a club. She walked to a back room and Rick was there waiting for her along with the rest of his accomplices."

Kai scowled. "Atleast we know where he is hiding. "

"Yes, sir. So are you going to see your grandfather? You know he grows impatient easily."

Sigh. "I know I know. Thank you, Boris. Do me a favor."

"Anything."

Kai handed the photo back to Boris, his face unreadable. "Keep an eye on Hilary." Boris smiled. "As you wish, your Highness."

The czar left the study, not noticing how the smile on Boris' face turned malicious.

His footsteps echoed as he walked down the hallway to his grandfather's room. He had so many thoughts going through his mind. 'I have so many problems to deal with.' He sighed. 'I'm so stressed. What am I going to do?' He put his hand on his stomach. 'And why did it feel like I had butterflies in my stomach when I was around Tysa? No, Ms. Kinomiya.' Kai shook his head while silently reprimanding himself. "I can not let my mind dwell on that. I have too much to deal with."

But there was one question that still lingered on his mind. 'What am I feeling?'

Dark-phoenix: AAANNNDD done! =) Wow it feels good to be back.
