I was five and he was six

We rode on horses made of sticks

He wore black and I wore white

He would always win the fight

Bang Bang

Kai's eyes fluttered open. His head immediately started to ache, like there was a hammer whacking him very hard over and over again. He winced and tried to concentrate. Where was he? What had happened?

All of sudden a pain shot trough his side as he moved a bit.

He shot me down

Bang Bang

A flash of a red-haired boy bending towards him with a smiling face and a look full of lust. A small smile played across Kai's face as more pain followed. His grasp on reality was only faint. Slowly his mind wandered of into an unconscious world.

-------

When Kai opened his eyes again he was not alone anymore. A boy with a worried face was sitting by his bedside.

"Takao..." he whispered with a broken voice.

The blue-haired Dragon grabbed the Phoenix' hand. He had tears in his eyes. "Hey Kai." He seemed to barely be able to say those words.

"What happened?" Kai asked, trying to ignore Takao's emotional state.

"D-Don't you remember?" Takao looked like he was about to burst out in tears.

Something started stirring in Kai's mind. There had been a fight...

I hit the ground

Bang Bang

A fight with his boyfriend. A fight... A fight with Yuriy...

-------

Kai laid himself down in the hot water of his bath. He heaved a sigh. Tonight he would make everything up with Yuriy. His boyfriend had been grumpy lately, and although the Phoenix would never admit it, he was determined to make him happy again.

After a while of enjoying the bathing and thinking, he stood up. He grabbed a towel and covered himself up, then opening the door and walking to his bedroom. As he stood in front of his wardrobe, with his usual stern look plastered on his face, he was laughing inside. He could clearly imagine the look on his friends' faces if they would hear that he was concerned about such things as fashion.

He chose elegant, a tad bit baggy trousers and a loose, white shirt. There was no need for fancy clothing, those would be pulled out soon anyway. And not necessarily by himself either.

Kai smirked and gave himself a mental note at such naughty thoughts.

While he was closing his shirt the loud thud of a door slamming close could be heard. Yuriy was home. Kai walked out of the room into the hall, his shirt still half open. He smiled a small yet genuine smile. "Hey Yuriy."

Yuriy answered with a short "Hey". An awkward silence followed. Kai was the first one to break it.

"I planned a nice evening for us two. Even cooked some dinner."

"I don't want your food." Yuriy muttered, still audible.

Kai was taken aback at this first. He couldn't believe this. He recovered already a moment later of his shock. When he spoke up again a slight hint of irritation lay in his voice.

"Just tell me what's wrong, Yuriy."

A jealousy long present yet locked away unfolded in Yuriy's eyes and voice.

"You and Takao, that's what's wrong!" the Wolf yelled.

"Pardon?!" the Phoenix asked, completely confused. His disbelief could be read on his face now. He had never seen Yuriy this angry, but he knew that it went beyond the point that he would do things he'd later regret.

"It's obvious, Kai! Takao loves you and you love him back! It's visibly in the way you communicate, in the way you look, by your body language! You pushed me aside for that bimbo! You probably even made love with him!"

"I didn't..."

"Stop that, Kai! I know it's not true!" The redhead yelled. He was almost driven to the point of madness.

"Yuriy, I didn't..." A desperate Kai was cut off again.

"You liar!"

"But I ..."

Yuriy quickly opened one of the drawers of a cupboard. The gun they kept for safety was pulled out. Yuriy pointed it at Kai, his hand shaking, a finger around the trigger. A click was heard. The Wolf looked at the Phoenix with his expression a mixture of anger, bitterness and sadness.

"No more lies, Kai." He whispered.

"Yuriy... No..." Kai whispered back in shock. Yuriy pulled the trigger.

That awful sound

Bang Bang

Kai's body made a weird angle as the bullet connected with his side. While falling backwards his head hit the wall. He hit the ground as blood soaked his white shirt.The pain was almost unbearable but still Kai remained conscious. A few tears left his eyes... He hadn't cried since he was seven...

Yuriy's loud, raspy breaths resounded in the hall for a minute or two. Then there was the soft thud of the gun dropping on the carpeted floor. The breathing continued. A soft, choked sob. Yuriy dropped on his knees, grabbed Kai's shirt, letting his head rest on Kai's chest, moaning Kai's name over and over again.

Then... There was nothing...

-------

Kai looked up at the ceiling, tears glimmering in his eyes. Takao gave his hand a soft squeeze.

"Where is he?" Kai asked, barely a whisper.

"They don't know..." Takao answered softly.

The tears stung in Kai's eyes. He had never felt so empty in his entire life, and that said something. His eyes closed. A single tear trickled over his cheek.

Yuriy...

My baby shot me down
