And just then it knocked on the door…

Bryan's body stiffened and he put his finger up to the mouth to hush Rei. Rei nodded in understanding. After all, he was the last of his kind, and he wasn't even supposed to live. If someone saw him, he would certainly be hunted down and ruthlessly killed.

Bryan turned around and went to open the door. "Hide Rei. Quick, and don't make any noise." He whispered.

Rei nodded once more, and moved around to open a secret door, leading in to a small room that Rei and Bryan had done just for occasions like this. When Bryan had made sure that it was safe for him to open he turned down the handle.

Outside stood a guard in full armor and helmet. The sword hanged loosely by his side, ready to be used.

"What do you want?" Bryan asked harshly.

Without answering, the guard pushed Bryan aside, went in and closed the door.

The guard held up his hands. "Sorry Bry."

The soldier took of his helmet and revealed a flaming red hair and two ice-blue eyes. His lips were curled into a mischievous grin and the piercing eyes sparkled.

Bryan gasped. "Tala! You stupid….I thought you were….you scared the heck out of us!"

Tala laughed and placed a quick kiss on Bryans cheek.

While this conversation had been in action, the thief in hiding had moved out from his secret room and, silent as ever, snuck up behind Tala.

Rei hit Tala playfully on his shoulder. "Hi, Tal!"

It's amazing how girly a boy can sound when he gets scared. Tala was no exception, and while screaming like a scared five-year old girl he jumped at least one meter straight up in thin air. Rei laughed at his reaction, and when Talas heart had slowed down to its normal pace even Bryan snickered at his boyfriend's behavior.

"It's not funny Rei! I could've had a heart-attack! Man, Rei…it's not fair…I can't even hear you when you're on the move." Tala panted and glared at the lavender haired boy that chuckled at him.

Rei calmed down and patted Tala on the head. "Well, sorry. I didn't mean to scare you like that. Seriously, you're supposed to be one of the king's best soldiers."

Tala mumbled something angry while he brushed Reis had away. Bryan hugged his lover and the smile on Talas lips was back in a flash.

"Anyway, I didn't just come here for fun you know. I've got some important things to say to ya'll."

"Hm, what? Come on Tal, spill it!" The curious nature of the cat took over Reis senses.

"You got to stay inside today. None of you can leave the house today, especially not you Rei."

Talas serious tone startled both Bryan and the neko-jin.

Bryan looked at his boyfriend. "Why? What's going on out there?"

"I don't know the details, but the king's ordered the whole elite squad to search for a certain neko-jin. The orders were to capture him alive."


Well, there you go! Sorry I didn't get Kai in this chapter, but I promise he'll be in the next (a lot!) And if you review, the update will go a lot faster...hehehehe
