Chapter 1
JbD~JbD~JbD~JbD~JbD~JbD~JbD~JbD~JbD~JbD~JbD~JbD~JbD~JbD~JbD~JbD~JbD~
Footprints are left behind in the frosty snow as Boris walks along the sidewalk of a usually busy street which has quieted down in the late afternoon. Boris' boots are half covered in snow as he makes his way through the cold streets of Moscow with the wind blowing relentlessly in all directions.
Wearing the same green coat he always has the cold doesn't bother him. After all, he has spent his entire life in Russia, except for the business trips or the recent BEGA fiasco.
Since BEGA has crumbled to the ground along with all his money and everything else, he hasn't got anyone to order around, that's what brings him out on the streets today.
He just had one document to mail, just one. The thought of doing labour himself upsets Boris. He's not the labour type, he'd rather order someone else to do it.
As the sun is starting to set the shadows start stretching, taking over, day slowly turning to night. Boris makes a point only to come out when it starts to get dark and the streets are nearly empty, he doesn't feel like seeing too many people.
Boris makes a turn onto the path that leads through the park. Boris usually takes the long way round avoiding the park, that time of the afternoon the park is filled with parents who bring their kids after work but luckily they never stay long as the night soon falls along with the temperature. By now the park should be empty.
Walking along the path Boris glances up just to make sure everything is in it's rightful place. After years of his past position, suspiciousness is now hard wired into his mind.
On the other side of the empty park Boris spots someone sitting on one of the park benches. He finds it's strange, no parent allows their child out at this time and most certainly not in this cold weather close to dark.
As Boris gets closer the child sitting on the bench hugging his knees is starting to look familiar. Familiar like Kai. Boris turns his attention back to the snow in front of him, his mind must be playing tricks with him. Kai lives in Japan, he would most definitely not be here. And more, Kai would not sit anywhere in public hugging his knees. It's a sign of weakness, Kai would never show weakness where anyone can see him.
After discussing the reasons why it can't be Kai, Boris leaves the subject.
Coming within a few feet of the bench, Boris can't resist to take one last look and finds that it is Kai. The real street trademark clothes and the hair that always looks like it's never seen a hair brush. But still, Kai hugging his knees in the open public, maybe not Kai.
Boris comes to a stop in front of the bench and takes a closer look at the child hugging his knees with his arms wrapped around his legs and his face buried away behind his knees. Even though Boris can't see his face, Boris is 100% convinced it's Kai. If it was any other child, Boris would've walked on without thinking twice about them, but Kai?
He's not sure if he can walk away, not if it's Kai. One, because he can harass Kai, two, he can upset him just by talking to him and three, he can taunt Kai with the fact that he saw Kai in this feeble childish position.
Boris narrows his eyes in suspicion. If this really is Kai then he would've known that Boris was there the moment he set foot in the park, yet Kai hasn't moved. Surely Kai knows someone was walking passed here and has stopped right in front of him. Then why isn't he looking up with glaring daggers?
A victorious smirk crosses Boris' face, he's managed to sneak up on Kai without even trying.
"Don't you have a home?" Boris tone is pure taunt as he can barely wait to see Kai's face with surprise written on it and then the look of disgust with hate following. But nothing, Kai doesn't move nor does he make a sound.
Boris frowns, Kai is not the one to stay silent like that when someone is asking him a personal question, he'd rather retaliate and tell them to mind their own business. Boris decides that maybe Kai thinks if he ignores him, he'll go away but Kai should know better then that.
Stepping closer, Boris takes a seat on the bench next to Kai with his full attention turned to the unmoving figure. He's waiting for Kai to tell him to get lost but still there's no reaction. Boris' eyes falls to Kai hands and notice they have started to turn blue, a telling sign that Kai has been sitting out here in the cold for a long time. Boris looks back to Kai's face that's buried behind his knees and can see the back end of the blue markings on Kai's face, confirming that it's most definitely the one and only Kai.
"You'll get sick if you stay out here any longer." Boris tries to get a response from Kai by taunting him some more. Kai hates it when people tells him what to do and what's best for him, he takes it as an insult if someone try's telling him he's going to get sick.
Again waiting for an aggressive reply Boris gets nothing but silence and the cold wind blowing around the park.
Boris getting annoyed that he can't get Kai to lash out, he reaches out placing his hand on Kai's shoulder and shakes him with the expectation of a definite reaction for being touched. At the shaking action Kai's hands slip out of their grasp of each other around his legs and he falls to the side into Boris revealing his pale white face with his eyes closed. If it wasn't for Boris holding him up he would just fall over.
Taking a close look at Kai's face, his blue markings are standing out against his white skin and his lips are starting to crack open from the cold. Boris lifts his other hand and places two fingers to Kai's neck checking for a pulse, for a moment he really looked like he was dead.
On contact Boris feels Kai is freezing cold and then luckily he feels a faint pulse, he's just barely hanging on.
Boris takes a look around the empty park knowing that if Kai stays out here in the cold any longer, he will be dead before morning. Without thinking about it, Boris then slides his arm behind Kai's back and then the other underneath Kai's knees picking him up and then heading towards the park gate.
Picking Kai up he prepares for some weight but instead of lifting the expected weight of a teenager he notes that Kai weighs about what a twelve year old would. Now for the first time since he saw Kai when he entered the park does he realise how serious this situation is.
The only thing that came into Boris' mind when he first saw Kai sitting there was to terrorise and to upset him. No one has ever reacted the way Kai did. Kai doesn't back off, he doesn't know fear. He will make his stand no matter what the odds are, that's a fun reaction for Boris.
But now that Boris is looking at the situation from a new perspective, Boris notices that Kai's clothes don't look like he's been staying in a hotel and he certainly doesn't weigh like someone who is getting food everyday. It's really obvious, Kai has been living on the streets but Boris doesn't want to believe that, he wants to believe that Kai is better than that.
Yes before Kai practically lived on the streets with his street gang but he always had somewhere to sleep and always had food to eat somewhere but this is not like before. Boris can clearly picture Kai running around like some outlaw but Boris carrying an almost dead Kai in his arms just doesn't feel right. His first thought was to give Kai a hard time and to ruffle him up but now Kai's life suddenly depends on Boris. Which brings the question, why is he carrying Kai?
Why is he helping him?
Boris knows that he is the last person in this universe Kai would ever want to see again. If Kai was awake then he would choose to die than to let Boris help him, and that's not even counting the heart attack he would have because Boris is actually touching him. But why does Boris feel obligated to help Kai?
Thinking about it, there is no way Boris could leave Kai out in the cold. No wait, it's that obsession Boris has had with Kai for years kicking in. That obsession Boris had with Kai since the first day he met him. Kai was and always will be the one and only, the second to none.
In the abbey every trainee was formed into the image of the abbey of BioVolt, but no matter what, Kai always had his own image and he never allowed anyone to change him. That made Kai special. No matter how rebellious Kai was or no matter how much Boris knew Kai would disobey, he always singled Kai out as the favourite. Kai wasn't just some tool, some soldier, no Kai had attitude. Kai was also the only one on the planet that could upset Voltaire the way he did.
Taking a quick glance at Kai's pale face, Boris can't help but feel slightly guilty for the state he's in. Boris knows that Kai went through a lot in the abbey, most of which Boris was responsible for. The irony crosses Boris mind, all those years trying to break him and now helping him. Maybe Boris can't stand to see Kai fall, maybe he can't stand to see Kai break if it's not his doing.
