Chapter 7

The phone

:¤¤¤¤¤:

After putting two and two together and coming up wit five, Tala still hadn't figured out the blonde.After tickling Kai half to death, then carrying him to the kitchen and giving him some food, taking some of his (Tala's) clothes and then putting him to bed. And all this happened while the three of them still stood in the hall.

Tala growled low in his throat. I wanted to do that!

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

Spencer jumped happily down the stairs after putting Kai to bed. He was met by 3 pair of curious eyes.

"What?"

Tala was the first to break the silence.

"I wanted to do that!" He pouted. "I wanted to put Kai to bed! I want to feed him, love him, make love to hi-"

"Oookay, Tala, that's enough! We don't want to scare Ian off, do we?" Bryan smirked.

"But I want to do that to him! Besides, he's stiff-" Bryan cut him off once again.

"Okay, that wasn't something we needed to hear!" Tala grinned. "Of course not!" The red-head sing-sang.

¤¤¤

The Captain stretched and then went of to their bathroom. This day turned out to be something different. And he was now a father. The thought made him all giddy inside, well horny too. Ah, kinky me! He took of his clothes and was just about to step into the shower, when a loud 'thud' was heard. He stopped midway and turned around. Wonder what that was..?

The red-head dismissed it like something unimportant, he could found out later… It was probably Ian or Bryan who made the noise. My poor apartment! They are for sure destroying it! He fake-sobbed and then laughed at himself. God, do I have great humour or what? He stepped into the shower. AH, c-cold!

¤¤¤

Bryan looked up from the newspaper. There was that sound again… That 'thud'… He looked over at Ian who was sprawled in front of the TV.

"Did you hear that?" He asked the boy. Ian looked up from the floor.

"Hear what? If you're talking about that 'strangling-cat noise', it's just Tala singing in the shower." He smirked and snickered. Bryan joined him, Spencer too. Soon all three of them sat there smirking like three maniacs, but when Tala reached a very high tone, they all had to cover their ears.

After some minutes it stopped…

Ian took away his hands from his abused ears. He carefully listened…

…Then it started again, this time with full force!

"AND IIIIIIII WIIILLLLL AAALWAAYYYYYSS LOOOOVVE YYYOOOOUUUUUUUU!" Ian shrieked and ducked behind the sofa. Bryan looked painfully at Spencer who in turn tried to drown the horrible noise by turning up the volume on the TV. He failed big time.

Then the strangled cat died, and the shower turned off. A relived sigh escaped Bryan's lips. "Think we should tell him that he sings like a half-dead cat?" Ian snickered and was just about to say something really smart, when a soft sound reached their ears, or more like Bryan's.

"Did you hear that?" He stood up.

"Scary, it's feels like this has happened to me before…" Ian mused on the floor.

"Idiot!" The lilac-haired boy smacked his head.

"Hey! What was that for?"

¤¤¤

Bryan headed for the stairs, where the sound had come from. He was seconds away from putting his right foot on the third step, when a hand grabbed his pants. To put it simply, it scared the shit out of him and he yelped. Then soft footsteps sprinted up the last steps and then a door slammed shut. It took a wile before Bryan's mind could register what the fuck just happened.

Tick… tack… tick…¤Click¤…

"Shit! It was Kai!"

¤¤¤

Tala dried his hair in front of the mirror… and thanking his 'fans' for a wonderful concert. That's when he heard a loud slam. That's it, he thought. And in the blink of an eye he was outside the bathroom door, ready to fight anything that stood in his way.

When he tumbled out through the door, he was met by a horror stricken Bryan, who in turn covered his eyes while screaming about my poor eyes!

Tala shrieked and jumped back. Then blushed furiously, he was still naked! He grabbed the nearest pants and shirt and threw them on. Now was he ready to see what was wrong! "Well at least I'm good-looking…" He mumbled under his breath.

The blushing red-head stepped out yet again, but Bryan was gone. "Weird…" He went for the stairs.

¤¤¤

He was so stupid! He had scared Kai, who for sure hated him now.

He reached the door and knocked softly. "Kai?" He called. "Please Kai, I didn't mean to do that…Please open the door..?" If Tala found out about this, he was fried… like a Kentucky chicken…

He tried the door-handle; it was open, so stupid of him…

It was dark in the room, except for a tiny lamp by the bed. The sight that met him was heart-wrenching. Kai sat there, in the middle of the floor with an old teddy-bear hugged tightly in his arms. The youg boy was rocking back and forth while shacking his head. Bryan wanted to cry. He strode over and bent down to eye-level.

"Kai?" The boy flinched away; I hurt him to see the poor boy like this. Damn Rei..! But it was not his place to kill that neko-jin, he had promised Tala that he could to that… He smirked. He had almost forgotten about that revenge… hehe

Kai looked up on him with big, puffy and red eyes, a tear rolled down. He hugged the old bear harder, he had done something wrong when he grabbed the tall boy by his pants. He knew it. The way he had yelped and then… He buried his head in the fur of the teddy. Why was Bryan still here? He must hate him now…

He felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up to find himself staring into a pair of lilac-coloured eyes. He sniffed and then threw himself in the arms of the older boy. It was returned by a huge hug and a soft voice whispering about how he was sorry for scaring him. Kai hugged him tighter, it had been so long since he had hugged someone, and now, he almost craved to feel the body of another person. A person who he trusted and could feel safe with. Like the persons he was staying at now… The teddy-bear was pressed in between them, but Bryan didn't mind, it was Tala's old who the blue-haired boy had found. Bryan chuckled when he felt Kai loosen the tight hold of his neck, "I guess this means I am forgiven?"

Kai smiled and hugged him again.

"What was it you wanted before, Kai?" First the boy looked unsure, but then he took hold of the teddy-bear's arm, then Bryans and pulled him up from the floor. The older followed him when Kai led him out of the room.

¤¤¤

Ian shoot up when he heard the footstep's of Tala.

"Get redy, here he comes!" He whispered to Spencer who quickly laid himself down on the floor. When Tala entered the younger one started to moan.

"Awww! My poor abused ears!" Ian was in the sofa, weakly trying to cover his ears. Spencer was pretending to be out cold on the floor.

Tala 'humph'-ed and stomped of to smack them both on their heads. "Shut up! At least I don't say 'good bye' to every bit of food when we eat!" He snorted and put his nose up in the air. Ian scowled. He was so getting to revenge this!

Spencer laughed right out at that. He received another 'smack' from Ian. Spencer scowled too and rouse from the floor.

He went over to Tala who occupied the whole five-sits-sofa. "Well, you are sure big today," He said and took hold of the protesting red-head's legs, only to droop the on the floor. Tala cursed when his sleeping legs crashed down. It felt like thousand needles. He scowled.

At that moment Bryan and Kai made their way into the living-room.

"Oh My God!" He squealed, "You guy's look so happy!"

The temperature in the room dropped to ice-cold. Kai giggled when he looked at the trio. Ian was in front of the TV scowling, Spencer was on the sofa, also scowling and Tala was just about to fell asleep, but he too was scowling.

Kai took a new grip on Bryan's hand, then led him over to the almost sleeping red-head. Tala woke with a start.

"Hey Kai… What are you doing up so late? Shouldn't you be asleep by now?" He rubbed his eyes.

Kai looked down at his feet, founding them very interesting… He fiddled with Bryan's hand, then he looked up at Tala's face. Then back to his feet.

The Captain smiled. He knew what this was about, and was damned if he wasn't going to brag about it later!

He motioned for his lap and Kai was more then happy to sit in it. He made it comfortable enough for him; the he laid his head on the older man's shoulder, but still clutching the old teddy and Bryan's hand. Ian and Spencer smiled at the sight, Bryan had cramp, Tala was happy!

"Was it something special you wanted Kai?" Tala asked while sliding his fingers through the light blue bangs. The boy shook his head, nothing special in particular. He just wanted to be near his new daddy.

After a few minutes Kai was fast asleep, the rising of the Captain's chest was so calming and the sound of his heart-beat.

It was similar to Tala… The soft breathing of the young boy, the cosy surrounding, the low buzzing of the TV, the groaning from Bryan… Groaning? He looked up from the peaceful face of Kai, to the annoyed of Bryan. He smirked.

"Can't handle it Bry?" The lilac-haired boy growled. Kai had his hand trapped and he stood in an awkward position. He stood up, still! Tala let a chuckle escape, the he gently helped Bryan get away from the grip.

"I think it's time to bed for all of us now, it's really late and I think it would be the best for all of us… It's been a looong day, way too long." Tala said.

He took hold of the sleeping beauty and carried him up the stairs.

¤¤¤

Rei yawned. Four whole days till the plane would take off. And the hotel he was staying at wasn't the best. A window was broken so it was fucking hell cold inside. "It's probably warmer outside," he mumbled under the cover. "It's fucking ice-cold..!"

¤¤¤

Ian stretched his back, a few 'pops' were heard and Spencer gulped at the sickening 'bone-cracking' sound. He shuddered.

"Don't be such a wuss!" Ian teased.

"I'm no wuss!" The taller protested, "I just happen to not like the sound if bone cracking!"

"Whatever…" Bryan yawned from the sofa. He looked at the clock. 03:47 it read. Wow, it is really late; no wonder Kai fell asleep so fast… Ah ha! I almost forgot! The revenge! Haha…ha……… never mind, it's to late… Ha yawned again.

¤¤¤

Tala carefully slipped Kai into his new bed. The sheets were a deep red, the cover was a baby-purple and the pillow was dark-blue. Tala snorted; well that's what one gets after arguing about colour. He wanted red, Bryan purple and Spencer and Ian wanted blue, so they mixed… And now Kai was here, in the bed with the mixed colours. He looked like a little blue bundle. Tala grinned. Cute!

He left the night-lamp on, because Kai would need it. He would show them, he would show them big time that he was right!

He tip-toed out of the room, then he closed the door and went off to his own bed. Time to sleep…

¤¤¤

It was around 4:50 when he heard the soft steps coming his way. He smirked. He was right! In your face Ian, Bryan and Spencer! Ha!

The door creaked and soon a new weight was on his bed. A hand took his and then a head lay down on his chest. A yawn was heard and then a light breathing. Tala hugged the boy. He was right, Kai was afraid of sleeping alone. Now when he finally had gotten a family, why sleep alone?

Yesss, Life is good!

¤¤¤¤

Morning came some hours later; Kai woke up in the embrace of Tala's strong arms. He felt really safe here, in his… Daddy's arms… He giggled and buried his head deeper in the red-heads chest. I have a daddy!

Tala woke around noon with a very awake and happy Kai in his arms.

"How long have you been awake?" He rasped out, Gooood…! He was so not a morning-person. He rubbed his eyes and took a closer look at the energy package.

"You seem to be I an awfully wonderful mode..? Something special?" Kai nodded and hugged him.

"Well, why don't you tell me?" Tala smiled but Kai looked down. He didn't want to speak just yet, he wasn't ready… Not after what happened the last time…

It was silent.

"…It's okay, I understand… Let's go and eat some breakfast…err… Lunch." He pulled away the cover and immediately pulled it on again. "Hehe, Why don't you go check on… Bryan? Yeah, go and see if he's awake yet, can you do that?" Kai looked puzzled but nodded.

After Kai was gone, the embarrassed teenager rushed to the nearest bathroom to take care of his 'lower problem'.

¤¤¤

Kai found Bryan sprawled on the floor. He poked him and a strange noise erupted. He poked again and this time he moved a bit. This was fun! He poked around some minutes, but after a while the older one woke up, or more like pretending to wake up. He stood now on his all four, and his head was bent down. Kai took a couple of steps around him before tipping him to the side. Bryan fell like a sack of potatoes. Kai giggled. He continued to poke him until he was on his four again. This time he had one eye open. And Kai thought this could be the time to do something different! And what could be different yet fun? Riding of course!

So Kai sat himself on Bryans back, and Bryan almost gave under. T-this is SO to early! The older almost collapsed, even if Kai was light, he was still dead tired! But he couldn't say no to this! Not after yesterday…

He was on his four with a happy Kai on his back… Wonderful… He thought. Just… wonderful…

He tried to take a first step, then a second, and then he was met by laughing and two figures standing in the doorway. He groaned. Perfect..!

"God morning Kai, I see you have tamed the morning beast?" Spencer pointed out and smiled. Kai nodded and laughed in return.

Bryan was now still on his all four in the middle of his room. God he was tired.

"C'mon Bry, don't tell me you are tired now, he can't be sooo heavy!" God, Ian could just die now, that would make the lilac-haired boy happy.

"Dig yourself down somewhere will ya'?" He mumbled from the floor.

Tala stopped outside after finishing in the bathroom. He chuckled and took pity on Bryan.

"Mornin' guys," He said, "Kai, why don't you follow me to the kitchen so we can make some… um… food?"

Kai looked sad for a moment but then jumped of his 'horse' to follow with him. Bryan collapsed soon after and the rest of them broke out in a fit of uncontrollable laughter. Bryan snorted from his place. Very funny my ass… Hn!

¤¤¤

Tala led Kai to the kitchen, where, ehum, Tala was going to make some food. He could always make it, but the taste was another story…

"Okay, what do we have today?" Tala would just reach for the frying-pan, when three panic-stricken Demolition Boys rushed in and pushed him out.

"Hey, hey, hey! What's the matter?" They all gave him the 'what,-are-you-an-idiot?' look. Tala shrugged and Ian chirped in.

"What? Don't you remember the last time-" Spencer cut off with:

"-or the one before that-" And Bryan finished with:

"-or the one before those?"

Tala growled low in his throat.

"Just because I just happened to forget about the microwave, or the frying pan or that you were supposed to flip over the pancakes!" He 'hn'-ed and went out from the room.

Three 'tsk, tsk, tsk,' was heard.

"AND HOW THE HELL WAS I TO KNOW THAT YOU HAD TO BOIL THE WATER TO GET THOSE EGGS BOILED?" He screamed from the living-room.

Another round of 'tsk'-ing came from the kitchen. The red-head pouted. Just because he didn't know how to cook! He sniffed then turned the TV on.

"-and now to the latest news," A woman said on the TV-screen. "The former BladeBreaker Max Tate has done it again! And-" Tala turned up the volume, this was interesting…

"Hey Guys!" He called, "Check this out!"

Spencer came in first, but stopped midway. "I-I think you should turn it of Tals, I don't think Kai likes it.

"Huh?" Tala looked around, but he didn't see the angel anywhere. "Where is he?" Spencer pointed to the armchair. "Behind that one, covering his ears and rocking back and forth…"

The Captain turned of the TV and rushed to the now shivering boy. "Kai? Kai what's the matter? Please Kai stop it, your scaring us!" Kai had closed his eyes and was rocking while covering his ears. He flinched when Tala tried to hold him…

The rest of the gang joined them, but holding their distance.

"T-Tala, what's wrong with him?" Ian whispered from behind Bryan. Kai suddenly stopped. The air was filled with a tick silence. Kai then bolted from the hiding-place, and the silence became thicker than ever…

"I think it has something to do with the BladeBreakers…" Tala thought out loud. "You're probably right…" Bryan said after a minute. "It has something to do with the former BladeBreakers…"

"It must have something to do with them…" Spencer stated. Then Ian went over and hit each of them in the head.

"Are you stupid?" They all blinked at him. Ian then groaned and hit them again. "Why did Kai become the way he is now? Because Tyson and Kenny left him alone to go home to their families, and they haven't contacted him for all I know! Max went to America with his mother AND father, his family! And Rei is just a dickhead who fucking left him! Just like that! Rei was Kai's first love! Does it CLICK somewhere!" He was furious and he panted hard. Then all three of them smacked themselves. Ian smirked. Finally I know something that they don't!

"I'm such an idiot!" Tala wailed. "I should have known that!"

"It's not your fault, you were scared and you didn't think straight…"

"Of course not," he mumbled, "I'm gay, I don't think straight…"

Spencer laughed and slapped the sitting red-heads back. "At least you don't fall into depression!" He smiled. Tala too.

"Let's go find Kai, I'm a bit worried about him…" Bryan sounded a bit too worried for Tala's liking. They looked toward the staircase where the boy had run off to.

"I think he ran of to his room, let's go check there first!" Ian bounced of to the stair. The others followed. But this time Bryan shouted that there may be something trying to grab the nest youngest pants. Ian looked puzzled, the he took the first step, then the second, third, fourth, fifth… The he stopped. "Bryan you're scaring me, I wont go any more steps. Bryan sweat dropped. "I'm talking about Kai!"

Soon all of them were walking up the stair. When the last one was safe on the second floor, Tala took the opportunity to go ahead first. That was when he was tackled by a bundle of blue. The Bundle hugged him tightly while holding a light-blue blanket and an old bear.

"Well that be damned," Bryan mused, "It's the old blanket of yours that you crie-" Tala was quick with putting a hand over the boys mouth.

"That… Is nothing we need to discuss now!" He told him sharply. He was not going to tell the others that he had been crying over a child-hood blanket, which had disappeared some weeks ago.

"Where did you found that Kai?" Tala motioned for the old blanket. The younger one stared at it for a moment, then taking the older one's hand. He dragged him toward their now shared room, the pointed to the bed, then under it.

Well… That was… frustrating. Tala mused. Why hadn't he looked there..?

Then another kind of growl reached their ears. They all turned to Kai, who in turn blushed furiously.

"Hungry?" Tala smiled. Kai nodded. "Then let's go get some food!"

¤¤¤

"Okay, If you Tala just stays outta' here, then everything will turn out fine!" Tala pouted at Bryan's too happy comment. No fair!

Bryan pushed him outside the kitchen then closed the door. "Have a nice time!" Tala snorted at that! Yeah riiight…

He turned on the TV again and flipped through the channels.

Boring, boring, already seen it, boring, boring, bor- Oh a cooking program!

¤¤¤

When they were finally eating their very late breakfast, the phone ringed.

Ian looked across the table.

Ring…

Bryan looked back.

Ring…

Spencer tensed.

Ring…

Tala was about to bolt.

Ring…

Then the whole group, except Kai, scrambled to get to the phone first. Ian got it. He cheered in triumph. The others snorted at him. Tala blew a raspberry.

"Hi, Ian speaking! Oh hi Aya! Oh… Well… I hope it will turn out fine for the institution… Kai? Oh he's doing very good! I think he likes it here! You got the powers back? Good, we too. No, we can't go out yet, it's raining again, not so heavily as before, but I don't think that any o us wants to get wet. Was it something else you wondered over? No? Okay, I say Hi from you, yeah we too, bye!"

"Who was i-" But Spencer was cut of by a loud crash coming from the second floor.

"W-what the fuck was that?" Ian whispered out.

"I have no fucking clue…" Tala whispered back.

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
