Last time-

Before Ray could even comprehend what was going on Hannah was running towards the door at full speed. She flung the door open and through herself into Kais arms knocking both of them off balance. The two sprawled out on the pavement Hannah still clutching Kai.

"KAI! What are you doing here?"

"Looking for you." As he said that a smile broke over Hannahs' face.

'So Kai has a heart after all? Well I suppose it isn't that far out of the box.'

Chapter 10

After Hannah climbed off Kai and managed to get to her feet she reached a hand down to help Kai up.

Kai let out a grown as he tried to sit up and take the offered hand. "Oh god, I didn't hurt you did I?" the look on Hannah's face was pure horror, the idea that she had hurt Kai was not one that sat well with her.

"Are you alright?" Hannah asked as she looked down at Kai with worry in her eyes.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Kai groan as he pushed himself up so he was now standing.

"So what can I do for you Kai?" Ray asked as he watched the two infront of him.

"I came to find Hannah. I had a feeling she would come here sooner or later." Kai then turned to Hannah. "I have something to tell you."

--------

Kai and Hannah sat in Ray's living room. Ray had gone to work on the night shift so he wouldn't be home until the early hours. The silence between the two of them was uncomfortable, Kai a few questions he wanted answered and it was becoming apparent that Hannah didn't want to answer them. Luckily for Kai that didn't bother him so after another few minutes of silence he asked his first question.

"Are you alright? Did he hurt you again?" Kai looked across at Hannah his eyes filled with concern and worry and when Hannah finally met them she was filled with guilt again.

"No. he, he was actually very proper towards me." Her voice was quiet as if trying to pretend the conversation wasn't happening.

"Kai look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was leaving." Hannah said still in the same quiet voice.

"Why did you leave?" Kai asked. That was the one thing he and all the other guys wanted answered. That was the question playing on their minds.

Hannah shook her head then stood to leave. She began to walk away but Kai grabbed her hand to stop her. "Why Hannah?" Kai questioned again.

Hannah let out a sigh before she turned to face Kai. she had no idea why but she feel tears beginning to well in the corner of her eyes. By the time her eyes met Kai's they were glassy and one or two tears had fallen over her lashes down onto her cheeks.

"Hannah I need to know why you left me." Kai's grip on her hand didn't loosen but he did bring his other one up to caress her cheek and wipe away her tears.

"Kai I left because you don't need me. You have your own life and the last thing you need is a neurotic teenager to hold you back and to tie you down. You have your own life and it doesn't include me." More tears ran down Hannah's cheeks. This was the end of her relationship with Kai. After this conversation Kai would walk out of her life for ever and she would never see him again.

"But what if I want you in my life?" Kai questioned. He watched the emotions flick through Hannah's eyes as she tried to come up with an answer. Then something he hadn't expected to see flashed through her eyes. Anger.

"Don't you get it Kai, this is your chance to leave all this behind. You can go and never look back. I made my bed and I have to lay in it but you have a life so go and live it. I don't need a knight in shining armor!" Hannah pulled away from Kai's hands but stayed to see what Kai would say.

"I'm not your knight in shining armor and I don't want a way out of this and if this is the bed you've made I want to lay in it with you. I know I've only known you for just over three months but I can't imagine it without you and I don't want to."

Hannah stared at Kai before shaking her head. Once she regained to power of speech she decided to use it. "You idiot!" She rolled and though she tries desperately Hannah couldn't think of another insult that would actually have an impact on Kai.

"Hannah, Voltaire doesn't own you. The adoption isn't legal." Kai fiddled in the back pocket of his jeans before he managed to pull out a piece of paper and handed it to her.

"What is it?" Hannah asked as she stared down at the paper in her hand.

"It's a death certificate. Your fathers death certificate." Hannah's eyes which, before that moment had been glued to the paper in her hand shot up. "What?"

"He's dead Hannah."

"How? When?" Hannah asked.

"Are you upset?" Kai wanted to know. There was no sign of any sadness on her face but sometimes people had a delayed reaction to bad news.

"No. I'm not."

"Then you don't need to know."

"Kai I WANT to know." Hannah enforced.

"Look, I don't know all the details but he didn't die of natural curses. When we went to Russia I got in contact with Tala's father and told him what happened and then he did some investigating and somehow he found out about the adoption and well he put a stop to it. Oh and there is this as well." Kai handed Hannah another piece of paper.

"You mean that the old bastard was knocked on the head?" Hannah paid no attention to the paper in Kai's hand.

Kai nodded and Hannah burst out laughing. "So I'm not adopted?"

"No." Kai confirmed. Hannah then turned her attention to the paper that Kai had just pressed into her hand. Flipping it open she let out a gasp.

"Hannah I really have to go." Kai told her as he grabbed his bag.

"But you only just got here. Why do you have to go again?" Hannah asked as she followed him to the door.

"Tala's father needs to see me about something. I don't know what it is but it sounded important." Kai told her as he got to the door and turned to face her.

"Look, I don't know when I will be back but I want to get you out of England again. When my flight lands I will organize a flight for you. I want you to come back to Russia. I don't know what Voltaire will try once he finds out that you're gone and that the adoption is illegitimate.

The sad look on Hannah's face made Kai do a quick rethink of what he was doing. No! He had to go and attend to business with Tala's father. He had to go!

"I'll see you soon Hannah." Kai told her. He pulled her close and had just started to administer a goodbye kiss when the sound of a horn broke the two of them apart. The taxi was there.

Jillian fussed around in Hannah's old room trying to make it look like it was still inhabited. Hannah hadn't taken much with her but it still made a rather large impact on the look and feel of the room. As far as she knew Voltaire didn't know that Hannah was gone, probably because he kept her locked away in a room for weeks and didn't even bother to go and see her. Jillian took one more worried look around the room before she closed and locked the door behind her.

Kai was in the bathroom brushing his teeth when he heard the taxi pull up out side. It took him a moment to taken it's significance. Kai flew down the stairs and made it to the kitchen just as Hannah was walking through the kitchen door. She looked weary and crumpled from the. "You cold have given me a ring from the airport." Kai said as he made his way across the room to where she stood. "Come here you." Kai pulled her towards him. Hannah wrapped her arms around his waist but it was quite a while until Kai's grip on her loosened enough for him to lower his head and give her a kiss. Hannah had just forced her arms up to around his neck when she felt herself abruptly dropped.

"Oh!" said Tala who had been on his way to the sink with a used glass. "Sorry to intrude." But he didn't sound sorry at all. There was the sound of a cell phone ringing from an upstairs room and Kai letting out a curse before he left the room to answer the cell phone which was obviously his.

Once Kai had left the room Hannah desperately wished he hadn't. before she had left things between her and Tala had been a little rocky.

Tala looked as Hannah as if she was a naughty child who deserved to be tarred and feathered for consorting with the enemy.

"It's nice to be home." Hannah said in a voice that to anyone's ears would sound slightly hopeful.

"I didn't know you and Kai were on such good terms." Tal said still eyeing her.

"What do you mean?" Hannah looked at him.

"Well he was kissing you rather meticulously." Tala accused.

"It was only hello, I kiss you hello." Hannah knew that that wasn't the exact truth but what was one little white lie amongst friends?

"Not like that."

"That's just Kai. You know he's more of a actions speak louder than words kind of guy. It was just….. well." Tala cut her off.

"Passionate? I could be passionate if you gave me half the chance you gave him." Hannah closed her eyes for a moment, this was starting to go right where Hannah didn't want to go. "I wouldn't want you to be Tala. I rely on you as my good and dear friend. Passion would spoil that."

Tala crossed the room towards her. "Not necessarily. Friendship can grow into love." Hannah shook her head and took a step back.

"But not." It was too late. Tala had decided to take the 'Kai' approach of actions speaking louder than words and had taken Hannah into his arms. His kiss was so much gentler than Kai's and she could taste the coke on his lips as he parted her lips to deepen the kiss. Hannah pulled away.

"Tala please, this isn't right. I'm tired and I need to go and have a shower."

"Good to hear it!" a new voice entered the room. Hannah spun around to see a man she had never seen before come further into the room giving Tala a disapproving glare. "This is neither the time or the place for this find of thing." The man scolded.

Hannah put her arm around Tala's waist and gave it a squeeze in sympathy. He must be dieing to say 'But Kai did it too!' but he remained silent as he left the room.

Once Taka was out of site he man turned back to Hannah. "So you must be Hannah, I'm Tala's father Daniel Volkov. Hannah shook the offer hand and nodded.

There you all go. I'm very sorry it took so very long for me to update but here it is now and I will try to update within in the next month.
