❤️ My Hostage (Part 7) ❤️

"Kando just told you why we came here," Kira said, staring at her fingers in fascination. "And that's what I am still going to tell you."

"Don't think I can't punish you," Storm said with a dark voice.

"Is not that I think, I know you can't." Kira wasn't scared as she fires back at him as she stared back at him. She just knows that the handsome devil won't dare hurt her.

Storm gritted his teeth once again and then looked at Kando who was still whimpering from the pain he was feeling. "And what about him? If I can't hurt you like you said then your punishment shall be shifted to him." Storm didn't know when he said that out. What is wrong with him? Why can't he just punish Juno like he is doing to the man on the floor? Is he getting soft?

"Well that will makes us two that really like to see Kando get punished." Kira jokes.

"...." Storm opened his mouth but paused when they door that leads to the meeting room opened and Rumi entered followed by two guards who were doing their possible best to stop her but were failing woefully.

"What is going on here?" Empress Rose demanded angrily as she stood up from her sit. For once since she got to this room, she heap all her anger on the two guards standing behind Rumi.

"We are so sorry my Empress, my Lord, she was very fast when she entered the Palace. We told her that you were busy and that you are here interrogating with your captives but she wouldn't listen. instead she ran and entered here before we could stop her," One of the guards said with fear as Storm eyes who was staring at him were not blinking.

"It's not their fault," Rumi said as she approached Storm. "I brought you breakfast. I prepared it myself and I don't want it to be like the last time I cooked something that was wasted." she added once she gets to Storm, standing in between him and Kira. She ignored the groaning man on the floor. "I thought they were lying and now I can tell they weren't. Don't get angry at them." speaking with a low voice as Storm slowly turned his head to look at her.

"Get out."

"What? I did-"

"I said get out, right now." Storm Interrupted her.

"You heard him right, get out none of us wants to see your face," Kira said behind her back. "Besides he is busy with me."

"Rumi, don't make me repeat myself again. You can wait for me outside and once I am done I will see you. Get out."

"That's fine, I will be waiting for you Storm, don't take much time," Rumi said and left the meeting room with the two guards who were still there.

"Are you going to tell me the actual reason why you are here and for the record I don't believe what he said," Storm returned his attention back to Kira.

"And like I told you before, Kando just told you why we were here."

"You are testing my patience Juno."

"Oh for goodness sake I am not Juno, my name is Kira. Kira!"

"Storm, please stop hurting him," Gwen said as she pointed at Kando. "If you don't stop now he might die, please Storm, stop hurting him."

Storm stares at Gwen as if she has grown two extra heads. He wasn't the only one staring at Gwen, Morgan couldn't believe his ears and his eyes when he saw Gwen moving to kneel down next to Kando.

"Stop this," Gwen said again, staring at Storm with pleading eyes.

Storm briefly stares at Kando's whimpering body and then everything stops. The only noise coming from the room was the high and fast breathing of Kando.

"Thank you." Gwen nodded at Storm direction before focusing on Kando. "Are you okay?"

"You were worried about me Beautiful," Kando said, trying to control his breathing. "I like that."

"And here we go again," Gwen said, getting up on her feet and going back to stand next to Storm. "With the way that I see things I don't think they are ready to talk." she whispered into Storm's ear.

"I can see that Gwen."

A slap echoed in the room and Storm was seen touching his back head as he stared at Gwen in Surprise.

"What was that for?"

"You promised not to use any of your powers unless it is urgent."

"I didn't, I was holding back and if I had really used it, you and I know he couldn't survive it," Storm said and once again invaded Kira's personal space. "You are a skilled fighter and he is also a skilled fighter so let's not beat around the bush anymore Juno."

"Should I hit your head before you realize that I am not this Juno you speak of, I am Kira. K.I.R.A," with his word she uses her right index finger to tap his chest. "Not Juno, not Juno, get that into your thick headed S.K.U.L.L."

"Okay I get it Kira, so why are you here to rub it in my face that you are not Juno, lying about your own goddamn name."

"If I was Juno I'd own it up and not lie about it. Kira is my name, I don't know what Juno is to you, or was to you, but the lady you're seeing right here is Kira and we came down Ashland to see how beautiful it is and Dean heard about the late Emperor death and wanted us to pay our condolences in his place. And when we came your guards were rude to us and so we decided to dance with them before you captured us. And believe me Dean taught everyone around him how to defend his or herself against an enemy. Hope this answers your questions and clears all your doubts." By the time she has finished talking Kira took a deep breath and then smiled at Storm. "That's it, now shift a little bit back. I need to have clean air that is not surrounded by your scent."

"So why would Uncle Dean send you when he could have come by himself? He is my father's brother for goodness sake." Morgan said and Storm agreed with him.

"Why?" Storm asked Kira.

"That's because coming here all of you would think he came here for Ashland and not for his brothers. I mean that's what I would think if I see him and his armies approaching." Kira said and shifted back, putting space between them since Storm was pretending not to have heard what she said before.

Moving more closer to her, "I know you are lying Ju- Kira. You are here to spy on us and give information to Dean."

"My man, my husband, won't stoop so low to send us to do that for him. He doesn't want to fight and that's why we are here to make a peace treaty with you and for the record even if you don't believe a single thing I said, it's none of my business and for the last time you are choking me with your scent." Kira shifted backwards again, putting more space between them than the last time.

"Guards!" Storm shouted and the guards that escorted them entered the meeting room. "Take them back to their cells."

"Before you do that, wouldn't you at least feed your guest. I am hungry."

Storm opens his mouth to retort back but Gwen beats him to it.

"Don't worry I will ask the palace cook to bring something for you and Kando," she said as the guards took Kira and Kando who had started regaining his strength back out of the meeting room.

"I am angry right now, I need some space," Storm said to no one and left the meeting room angrily. Ignoring Rumi who was just outside the door.

Gwen walked out and went to stand beside Rumi. "Stop forcing yourself on him. Believe me he won't notice you. Take the advice of the girl who is closer to him than anyone else. Cooking and bringing him food won't make him like you or pant after you, stop disgracing your ancestors. He already has his own demons running in his head to even glance at your way and besides he likes Juno he just doesn't know that yet."

"I did not ask for your advice and if I was looking for one, you would be the last person I would ask for advice so stop praising yourself and you don't know Storm the way I do. Take that from the girl who saw Storm first when they were kids. Now if you will excuse me, I have got my man to chase." Rumi said and ran after Storm, following the direction she saw him go.

"Well suit yourself," Gwen said to herself and made to walk away when the door to the meeting room opened and Morgan strode outside. Immediately he saw Gwen, he grabbed hold of her hand and dragged her with him as he walked towards his room. Gwen didn't say anything as she followed him.

"What is it?" Gwen asked as soon as they were in Morgan's room. He left go of her arm and was pacing around the room. He stopped in front of Gwen.

"Why did you ask him to stop hurting him?" Morgan answered with his own question.

"Is that why you dragged me from where I was down to your room to ask me this stupid question? And let me refresh your memory, they have a name, Storm and Kando."

"You know what I mean Gwen."

"No, I don't. I don't know what you mean."

"Stop beating around the bush Gwen."

"If this is why you dragged me here, then I am out of here," Gwen said and turned to leave when Morgan moved swiftly to block his door with his body.

"Really? I will kick your butt prince or no Prince if you don't get out of my way now " Gwen threatened. She couldn't even believe this was why he had brought her here.

"I waited for you yesterday but you didn't come. Why?"

Gwen blinked at the sudden change of topic, "Why? Are you seriously asking me after you insulted me."

"I did not insult you Gwen," he paused when he saw her look. "Okay I did but that was because of my mother."

"First of all you are a liar Morgan, you insulted me even when you are not with your mother. You called me a who.re Morgan, that hurt me really bad. In front of everyone."

Closing the distance between them, he placed his both hands on her shoulders, surprising Gwen. He then did something Gwen wasn't expecting. He hugged her.

"I am sorry, okay."

"You are hugging me and apologizing to me, why?"

"Shouldn't I do that? I am sorry for everything."

"Oh don't give me that crap Morgan," Gwen said, pushing him a slight bit away from her. "Why the sudden change? Why?"

"You really want to know?" He asked and at Gwen's short nod he took a deep breath. "I don't like the way he was staring at you or flirting with you in my presence. It got me jealous and I am sorry for the way I reacted to you. I don't mean any of those words I said back then." he added, closing the distance between them. "I don't like the way you laugh or smile at him when he speaks to you and I am hurt that I was not the one doing that to you." he leans towards her, bringing his face closer to her.

Gwen stares at Morgan. Was she dreaming? Is this real? If she was dreaming she hoped not to wake up.

She thought when she felt his lips brush against her lips. And when she closed her eyes, a knock interrupted them and Morgan jumped away from her as if he was burning.

He went to open his door and his mother walked inside, halting in her steps when she saw Gwen.

"And what is this low life of a girl doing here?"

"Nothing mother, she came to warn me to stay off Storm part," Morgan's face twisted in disgust as if the mere sight of her disgusted him. "Right who.re?"
