Chapter six -
"You are so hot on Rei!" Talia squealed at Kai and threw a cushion at him, "You really shouldn't take it so fast with her." Talia's voice was softer and was in the same playful tone it started out in.
Kai retaliated with a cushion that hit square in the face, "Why not? We both want it." He too tried to keep up the illusion to an outside eye that they were having a friendly discussion and not an intimate 'best-friend' talk.
"You don't enough about her."
Kai stopped collecting pillows and stared at Talia, "What do you know that I don't?"
"Her mother and father were killed, just before she moved here. She told me that there is some one after her family and wont stop till all of them are dead. That includes Rei."
Kai smirked at Talia's perfectly straight face, "you're joking right?" he asked. Talia shook her head.
"Rei told me yesterday, after we saw your cut. She thought it might have been the attacker after her." Talia paused letting Kai digest the information, "Kai, please don't tell her you know."
"I wont." He said and took the few pillows he held up to the rooms they belonged so he could think with out interruption.
He left Talia standing knee deep in multi coloured pillows and he carried three absent mind idly up to the master bedrooms. He reached the top of the stairs and realised he didn't know where to put the cushions, pushing through every door he finally found where they might have gone and put there. It was a bedroom, large but not the master bedroom. It was painted a royal green with gold and black mahogany decorating it. Kai felt compelled to walk in as he did so caught sight of a mirror on the right wall. It was in a black mahogany frame and Gold leaf was melted in to it. It was the mirror from his dream.
"Kai." A callous voice called from the mirror. "Kai."
He walked over no fear resided in him as he approached the mirror. A red figure blurred in it with slashes of yellow. Kai stared harder at the mirror, trying to focus the image and make sense of it. "Let me go Kai. I have done my duty let me go." The voice was familiar. Kai stared harder and began to see a phoenix.
"Dranzer?" Kai heard his voice whisper but didn't remember actually doing it.
"Yes. It is Dranzer, and I want you to let me free."
"Free?" the bird began changing form again to its human form, "How do I free you?"
"Just let go of that." The Dranzer boy pointed to Kai's neck, "just take it off."
Kai paused, he didn't want to lose the only thing that had stuck by him all his life.
"Take it off." Dranzer coaxed
"Kai fingered his necklace, the little silver phoenix's metal feathers were cold against his fingers. "I don't want to lose you." Kai told the fire bird-boy in the mirror.
"I have don't my duty to you, I must leave."
A saddened anger rushed over Kai, at hearing duty. He was just part of the birds duty? "Fine leave." Kai pulled the chain from round his neck as he did so he didn't notice the figure change in the mirror. Change from a beautiful firebird boy to a shadowed female figure.
As Kai tore the chain from his neck his body convulsed forward, a searing pain slashed through his body. His eyes flashed blacker that coal and his fangs bared as a low growl echoed from deep in his stomach. The necklace he tore from his neck pulsed with a red light and then faded it to nothingness. It was gone. Kai found him self-facing the black a gold carpet the cover the floor of the room, he was on his knees gasping for air. For a second everything was calm and quiet then he began to spasm and cough. A sweet copper taste enter his mouth and it made him cough even more, he cover his mouth but he couldn't stop the blood pouring out of his mouth at an alarming rate. It stained the green bits of carpet and disappeared in to he black. Neither Talia nor Rei came to his aid, they both carried on cleaning up downstairs. What felt like hours, to Kai, passed as he coughed up blood and when he finally stopped, he found the phoenix pendent had gone. The black rope it was on still lay on the floor but Dranzer wasn't attached to it, he was nowhere to be seen. Kai snatched up the cord and threw it in the bin as he strode out, his tongue flicker at the small splashes of red on his chin.
"Kai, are you going to help or not." Talia's angry voice floated to him from behind a pile of walking cushions.
Kai smirk and plucked a few pillows from the pile, catching Talia by surprise and making her drop them cover the floor with soft colours. Kai laughed. Talia bent over and picked up a black silk pillow, her red hair falling over her face hiding the grin she wore, then she threw it smacking him square in the face. "Cow" spilled from Kai's lips as he snatched up one of the scattered pillows and retaliated.
"Okay, I give. You win!" Kai shouted as Talia pinned him to the floor and smothered him with the crimson pillow she was holding. She rolled off hi with a laugh, "we haven't had a pillow fight since that time you broke your arm"
Kai looked at her, that was his first pillow fight and he never remembered breaking his arm, ever. Then it struck him, she was talking about the Kai before him. Part of him then wanted to tell her, tell her about not being her Kai, Emery, and Raven. But he didn't.
"Come on Talia will kill us if we let her do all the work." She paused, "and if she didn't talk to you then who would you cuddle up with at night?" She bounced off before Kai could scowl at her for teasing him again.
Two hour later the house was clean, or at least cleaner then it had been with a dozen girls in it. Talia had gone home and Rei was taking a shower. Kai wondered round, the memory of Dranzer's rejection fresh in his memory. The pain he'd felt when he pulled his chain off was so strong Kai figured it had to mean something but what.
