I sat back down, my head hanging low, and I could feel tears prickling harshly against my eyes. I was certain they would know, certain!..Otherwise, what would have been the purpose of bringing me here? I felt the tears roam down my cheeks as I cursed myself of reading the diary and causing this whole mess. If he'd have just asked if he could go to Russia...I'd have most likely given him a hard time, seeing as it was the 'Kai' thing to do..but I probably would have let him go in the end. If he'd just asked, I wouldn't of had to gone through this! Nobody would have...
"Rei, what's wrong?" I lifted my head when I heard Kiki yell, looking curiously at the small raven-haired boy, his face looking as though he'd been born half-fish.
Shaking his head, Rei ignored Kiki and looked my way,"Kai, your friend with the red hair...Tala, was it?" my eyes widened increasingly at Ivanov's name, yet I didn't move.
"Yeah...what...what about him?"
"...He may be able to see you one last time if we hurry." What was he talking about? Was...was Tala...Did...was he...dead? Did he die? Without warning, Sergei grabbed my wrist and pulled me up, dragging me along with him to the door that I'd not been able to look through before, yet was opened wide. It contained a ladder and plenty of medical supplies. My curiosity had been shunned. I was barely able to register Sergei pushing me towards the ladder, my hands immediately grabbing onto the rungs as I climbed up, blindly trailing Kiki and Rei.
A light killed my eyes as we soon reached the top, climbing out into an...alley or hallway of some sort with a white blob on the floor. At first, my eyes widened when a sudden click coughed up in my brain, and I started to fret if that was Tala, seeing as my vision was a bit blurred from the light, so I couldn't clearly see any details. That fret quickly dissolved when my vision returned to normal, and that the white blob on the floor was really just...a white blob. A hand desperately tapped on my shoulder and I found Mao glaring at me when I looked over. Quickly catching on, I ran past and up ahead to the others, who were a good distance away.
"Rei, what's goin--" my sentence was interrupted when the small neko-jin put a hand up to silence me, looking all around the room as the green-haired shorty creeped into the darkened room we stood near. Nobody moved, and when Kiki just popped up, I couldn't help but jump slightly.
He nodded to Sergei who groped the side of the wall, flicking on a light, which blinded me again. Shielding my eyes, I quickly recovered the sound of deep, raspy breaths, and when I lowered my arm, I wished that the red I saw had just been a giant red blob. Tala. Floor. Blood. "T-Tala...?...Tala!" my legs nearly turned to ash as I ran over to him, falling on my knees and quickly placing his head on my lap. A small smile found a spot on his face as his eyes continued to drown of their life, the wound in his chest and stomach continuing to overflow with blood.
"K..ai...Ah...I..I'm...sor...ry...I...I...f-followed...y...ou.." he whispered, tears shining brightly in his eyes as my own flowed freely down my face once more. I couldn't reply, my tongue was tied. "Kai...pl...please...don't...don't cry...I...I ca...n't...st...stand it...when you...c...cry.."
I meakly smiled. It was hard to do it, so hard, having your best friend dying in your arms, smiling, yet you wouldn't want to believe that their hearts would stop,"It's easier said than done, Tal. So much easier said than done..." Even though those words came out of my mouth, I still wiped away the tears, yet they continued on coming.
"I...I need...you...t...t-to...do on...one l..ast thing...f...fo...r m...e...K...Kai..." Tala's eyes started to droop and his breathing became more and more soft as it continued to slow at an increasing rate.
My tears forced themselves down my face more fiercely now, I didn't want to believe he was going to die! I thought he was stronger then that! "Wh...what is it, Tal?" I started to choke on my tears and I'd never realized how much water my eyes contained.
Hi smile deepened shortly,"S..save R..ay...a...and don't sh...shed...anymore...t...ears...pl..ease..? I..I'm n..not worth..." his eyes completely shut and his head rolled to one side, his sentence gone unfinished, although I knew what he was going to say.
I softly stroked his cold cheek,"You are worth it, Tal, nobody can replace a best friend..." Closing my eyes, I turned away when Mao came over to look. I was devastated, how..how could he be dead? He wasn't supposed to be dead, it wasn't right! It wasn't his time! I smashed my fist on the ground beside me, the pain now throbbing throughout my hand not even a millimeter close to how much the death was causing me. A long while passed, for me it felt like hours, but it was most likely just a couple of minutes and my tears soon slowed to a stop.
"I could make him a new--"
"No, Mao."
"But..."
"No." even that short conversation didn't bother me, it didn't make my curiosity want to know what the hell they were talking about, There was only one thing on my mind at the moment and I turned to the younger Ray, a killer headache now embedding into my skull.
"How...how did you know where Tala was...and...that he was near...near death?" the neko-jin seemed taken aback at the question, most likely thinking that I was gonna ask about what he and Mao had been talking about few seconds ago. He reamined silent, staring at me, a small silence yet again filling the air.
Sergei's sudden voice caused me to turn and look at him,"He saw it in his head. As he explained ealier, he shares the memories and recent moments from Ray's eyes, yet he can tune out Ray's thoughts at any time. This time, Rei most likely saw Tala through Ray's eyes and the thoughts of murder ringing throughout his head." I turned back to Rei, who nodded sadly.
Suddenly, I noted that Kiki's eyes went wide as he stared at the doorway, and I carefully placed Tala's body on the floor, only then realizing that I was covered in his blood. Turning around, my eyes widened as well, the man that I despised, caused me torture in the hellhole, stood in the doorway,"Boris Balcov."
