Trickster's Champion

[InsaneTruth]

"I don't know, now calm down," Nightshade said "Kai will be ok, but if you get hurt further then how is he suposed to get back on his feet?"

 

[Ricia]

Sage shrunk a bit and sat back down on the bed before looking at Kai desperately.


"Lets take a few steps at a time." Rick said, "Right now the first step if going to assure we can get out.." Rick said, "Including me versus sunlight and you able to fight again."


Sage nodded slowly.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Kai is resilliant," Nightshade said. he looked to Rick almost a wordless apology.

 

[Ricia]

Sage nodded, "Thank you Nightshade.." She told him.


Rick gave Nighshade a weak smile, "Thank you." He told him.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Nightshade looked up "of course they;'d start bickering... i've been out of the throne room for five minutes," he sighed "Sage don't hurt yourself trying to help Kai take care Rick if you need me call."

 

[Ricia]

"I will.. Good luck." Rick told Nightshade with a nod.


When he left, Sage was silent for several long seconds, Rick just watched the three by the bed quietly.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I am not a clone of anyone!" Kai said breaking the silence.

 

[Ricia]

Sage looked completely shocked at his sudden burst out.


Rick sighed, "I think you are right Kai... You are a person." He told the guy.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Kai... died," Kat said softly.

 

[Ricia]

Sage sighed and put her hand up onto her face to cover it. Sage took a moment to hold out her hand and summon her scythe just to see if she could. If she could... maybe his death wasn't her fault.

 

[InsaneTruth]

it materialized as always.


Kat actually started to cry


"I... I've never seen Kat...cry," KAi said

 

[Ricia]

"K.. Kat." Sage said letting the scythe go and pulling Kat too her. Sage was still in shock, still not sure what to think. But then again.. it was like this with Emma to.. Kat always got it out long before Sage did.


Rick sighed, "I know Sage has.. more then once. I had as well. It can be... an emotional roller coaster around here.." Rick said. "Excuse me.. i'm going to go pass the news around the house." Rick said, though he did take a moment to hug Kat and Sage tightly to himself for a few moments.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai just couldn't stand seeing Kat upset so he got out of the bed and pat the boy "want to go... chase cars?" he asked.


Kat actually began to chuckle at the image of Kai chasing cars,

 

[Ricia]

Sage smiled light before soothing Kat's hair, "Kat call's them starving monsters." Sage told Kai, "Even though he knows their cars, he dose it in humor that I told him that they were a dying creatures."


Rick came downstairs looking for Luicfer.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"how'd it go?" Lucifer asked Rick.


Kai laughed "really starving monsters?"

 

[Ricia]

"Yeah." Sage said with a smile, she ran her hands softly through Kat's hair while he cried. "It's ok Kat.. we'll find it... the power... bring him back.."


"Umm..." Rick said. He took a moment before pressing his hand to his head, now it kind of hit him... and he almost wanted to cry... "Kai is actually dead... that.. person up there.. is apparently a clone he left behind." Rick cleared his throat, "I need to prepare for Sage and Kat..." He said, "I have a feeling Dasuke and Tannis are outside... can you go let them know?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

Lucifer pulled Rick into a hug "He;ll be back I'm sure..." he said


Kat hugged onto sage tightly.

 

[Ricia]

Sage hugged Kat back tight, Kai wasn't dead. Sage told herself. He wasn't.


Rick hugged Luicfer back and took a deep breath. "Perhaps.. but for now.. he is dead..." Rick told Luicfer before letting go of him. "If you excuse me.. I'm going to go smoke.. in my room and... perhaps lay down for a bit. If you could pass on the information to Dasuke... he'll want to know about Sage and Kat."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"yes," Lucifer said and let go of Rick and went to tell Dasuke who in turn told Tannis.


Kai sighed and pet Kat.

 

[Ricia]

"I'm sorry.. Kai." Sage told him. She reached to him and touched his cheek. "I'm sorry about the clone thing.."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I am Kai not a clone or anyhting less then me, I might be a human and I might not be sane but I am well enough," he didnot shy away though

 

[Ricia]

"But the fact is.. you belong with us... ok?" Sage told him. She knew he has been trying to get 'home' but... his home didn't exactly exist. He wasn't suppose to exist.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai looked at her "I have this feeling i don't belong anywhere," he said

 

[Ricia]

"I can.. only imagine." Sage told him, "But.. Kai made you... so you belong with us." Sage told him confidently. "You.. are not his replacement."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai just laid his head on her shoulder Kat in her chest.


"You really don't have to like me you know," Kai said
