"...Zaitsu?" Kayla asked as she cautiously approached him.

"What!?" he snapped, his head turning quickly, angry red eyes meeting her concerned green.

Before she could stop herself, her hand flew out, striking him across the face. "Give him back!" she yelled, tears in her eyes. "Give me back the man I love!"

"Why should I? This body is mine, girl, why should I let that pathetic excuse for my reincarnation possess the body I worked so hard to get back?" Zaitsu stood up, tower over the short girl. "You can't have him," he sneered.

"He was here first!" Kayla protested, unable to keep herself from striking out and beating him repeatedly on the chest.

"Correction, child, I was here first!" he growled, grabbing Kayla by the wrists and holding her a few inches above the floor. "Let's see what my pathetic other side sees in you," he said with a sick grin.

Kayla's eyes widened as she was tossed onto the couch, Zaitsu quickly pinning her down. The look on his face made her feel sick as his hand reached up her skirt and stroked her inner thigh. She let out a cry as she tried to wriggle free of him, but failed.

"Zaitsu...please! Please don't!" she begged, tears in her eyes as she shook underneath him.

Zaitsu's eyes widened as they grew kind and fearful. "Kayla!" he gasped, seeing her underneath him. He quickly got off of her, then pulled her into his arms. "I hurt you..." he said, shaking and holding her close.

"Don't ever call him you!" Kayla yelled, smacking him. "He's not you!" She burst into tears, holding tightly to Zaitsu. "Don't let him get us. Don't let him get you."

"Kayla," Zaitsu said softly. "He already has me. It's not safe for you anymore. Please...please just leave."

She pushed away from him, looking straight into his eyes. "You're choosing him over me?" she asked, voice breaking.

"I don't have a choice. Goodbye..."
