The funny thing is I have no freaking idea how to make an epilogue. Sounds stupid right? But I've never done one before. It basically summarizes everything up into a neat little happy package right? Well that's what's going to happen here.
Atealia your so right! My vocabulary sucks majorly.That's not what you said but that's my choice of words. So just for you, I went and read the synoymes pages of my dictionary. I know plenty of new words now. Weird right? Don't laugh.
Oh and Claire, I made them wimpy because it's more fun that way. It makes them easier to torure and they get more TLC afterwords. *nods at Shinwa* I hope you get enough of your requested tender loving care.
Thanks platinum Rei for my Kai plushie! *puts him on her shelf beside her Ray plushie*
Disclaimer: I'M ALMOST DONE! *does her infamous happy dance*
By the time they reached the chalet where they hadn't spent much of their so called vacation the sun was mid air beaming down on them warmly. The pale clouds were no where in site leaving the empty sky to dazzle it's gorgeous baby blue color.
The car sped down the long highway and turned in where it had previously done the day before. Only a few orange beams penetrated the thick jade folliage that surrounded the lonely bumpy road.
Slowly down a bit, eyes still focused on the road, occasionaly glancing over at his sleeping neko-jin, the slate-haired adult sighed and let the winds rustle through his bangs.
In the back seat, sitting now quietly, Tyson kept his eyes glued on the smaller boy cuddled up to his chest. His fingers would sometimes brush along the pale skin removing the dried blood that stained him.
Then suddenly, a front tire seemed to have collided with a small bump causing the car to involuntarily shake. Feeling the abrupt movement from the car, Max jerked his head up from Tyson's chest and looked around at the enviroment surrounding them.
''Are you okay Maxie?'' Tyson asked in a soothing voice, as he smiled at the blonde.
''Yeah, I just. Nevermind.'' Max shrugged his shoulders and leaned back against Tyson, smiling at the warmth his tanned body emited.
''Don't nevermind me.'' Though it seemed harsh, Tyson spoke with the softess voice he could manage.
Max looked up again then at Ray who was still sleeping peacefully cuddled up to the seat with his hand still laced with Kai's.
''It felt like when we were inside. The sudden jolt when the guards would toss us around.''
''I'm sorry Max.'' Kai's voice broke the silence they had all fallen victim too.
''No don't be. It wasn't your fault.'' The blonde let a fake and wan smile plaster itself upon his pink lips with a farely dismal expression across his face.
It would take alot of time before he could return to his former cheery self after going through such a horrible experience.
Tyson was suprised by the unexpected appologie from Kai but let it slip as he wrapped his arms around the smaller boy, hoping to make him feel safe. His mission was achieved as Max nuzzled against him lovingly, dearly missing the former feeling of safety Tyson's embrace brought upon him.
Not more then ten minutes later the car came to a stop and Kai hopped out of the vehicule.
''We're going to have to make it fast.'' He instructed and both boys nodded.
Tyson got out first, helping Max out as they made their way to the house. Kai stayed behind and walked around the front of the car to the passengers side. He opened the door and crouched down in front of Ray.
Listening to the soft purrs, his hand slowly placed itself upon Ray's shoulder. Feeling the touch, Ray's amber depths peered open as he pulled back violently.
Seeing the small sign of hurt flash threw a pair of crimson orbs he quickly appologized for the rude action.
''I'm sorry. I was dreaming.'' He threw his arms around Kai's neck and hugged him tightly.
Returning the embrace, Kai wrapped his arms around Ray's thin waist line and picked him up after removing the seatbelt that cut across his chest.
''You didn't have too.'' Ray protested as it reminded him of how he had been slung over another mans shoulder.
''Save your strenght.''
This time the difference was the man himself. Ray did feel alot safer having Kai's muscular arms holding him closely.
Once inside, Kai brought his blushing koi up the stairs and into their room passing by the other's room as they made their way down the corridor.
Max was seated on the bed and half grinned as Ray peeked his head over Kai's shoulder. Tyson, backed turned to the door was obvlious to the facial expressions as he hurried to back their bags. Max had offered to help, but of course Tyson told him no, forbidding him from even lifting a finger without his aid.
While Kai packed their luggage which hadn't been properly removed from the bags to begin with, Ray limped over to the bathroom down the hall and took a look at himself in the mirror. There were bags under his eyes from fatigue and his usually glossy locks were horrid and tangled to the extremes. He needed a shower desperately but time was against them.
Opening the small door on the cabinet he searched for any supplies they could use to help them disinfect their cuts or any still open wounds. Seeing some gauze and alcohol, he grabbed the articles along with some bandaids and slowly made his way back to the rooms.
Kai was awaiting Tyson against the door frame, who was just finishing up in the room.
''Let's go.''
Ensuing Kai downstairs, Tyson aided Max as Ray grabbed his koi's welcoming hand which was offering a helping service.
Once buckled up in the car, Kai regained his position in the drivers seat, dismissing Tyson's proposal to drive.
As they drove back down the highway, Tyson tried to tend to Max's wounds.
''Sit still Maxie.'' He said playfully and dabbed the alcohol against the cut on the pale boy's arm.
Hissing in reply, Max squirmed and made faces at the burning and throbbing sensation. He then wrapped the arm properly and did the same along his cheek.
''Think it will scar?'' Max asked lightly before Tyson could rub more of the intoxicating liquid on his face.
''I don't think so.'' Tyson replied sticking a small bandaid against his cheek before kissing it gently.
He cleaned the crusty blood off the rest of Max's face like a mother tending to her child when he came in from playing in the dirt with his friends.
Smiling at the couple, Ray finished cleaning his own wound but wasn't able to wrap it due to it's awkward position. He kept a hand pressed against it, keeping the newly spilling blood from staining anything.
''Maybe we should bring you both to a doctor?'' Tyson suggested as he wrapped an arm around Max's shoulder, drawing him closer.
''Too risky.'' Kai stated calmly, still focused on the road also keeping a close lookout for anything or anyone that could be employed by that evil bastard.
''But where are we going? We just can't drive forever.'' Max said, lacing his fingers with Tyson's free hand.
''You'll run out of gas.'' Tyson added comically to lighten to mood.
''Speaking of gas.'' His crimson eyes lowered and he checked his gas tank on the car. Of course with their horrible luck, it was nearing the empty signal.
''There must be a gas station around. There's always one in the middle of no where.'' His amber eyes looked all around them for any signes or anything that could help them.
Much to their luck this time, up ahead they saw a small and quaint station that was inoccupied at the current moment.
They pulled up and everyone got out of the car.
''Maybe we should change?'' Max suggested, gesturing to their half naked selves.
''Make it fast.'' Kai popped the trunk and let them grab a change of clothing.
Kai began to fill the tank as Tyson dashed off to the store mumbling something about his stomach and how empty it was.
''Kai.''
Looking up, the slate-haired man saw Ray standing there as Max walked off to the side washroom.
''Yeah?''
Ray smiled and threw his arms around Kai's neck again, hugging him tightly even with the annoying pain as he lifted his arm.
''Go change'' Kai whispered in Ray's ear, leaning his head against the other's.
''Alright.''
Pulling back slightly, Ray leaned forward and pressed his lips against Kai's in a sweet kiss. Something simple wasn't enough as he ran his tongue over Kai's bottom lip almost beggingly asking for a warmer and passionate kiss that he yearned for. Kai responded as he parted his lips deeping the great sensation that resonated threw them both.
Max had returned, wearing a comfortable pair of blue shorts and a white t-shirt with some writing across it. He smiled at the sight of both boys still locked in an intense kiss and walked past them then jumped back into the car.
Returning from cloud nine, Ray grinned and rubbed his nose against Kai's.
''Washrooms all yours Ray.'' Max snickered and Ray flushed a bright shade of red.
''Got carried away.''
''That was blatantly obvious.''
Sticking his tongue out at Max, Ray headed off for the washroom as Kai realised he had sort of left the gas still running. Looking down at the liquid starting to make it's way towars his sneakers he stopped the machine and pulled out the nozzel. He cleaned the mess left on his car quickly and went inside to pay.
Coming back a few minutes later, Ray was dressed in a black muscle top something Kai would normally wear and a gray pair of baggy styled pants. They tossed their mangled clothes in the garbage bin between both gas pumps and sat back down in the car.
Tyson came back with 'munchies' for them all, grabbing mostly chocolate bars and bags of chips with a few juice bottles and soft drinks. But anything seemed to appeal to both Max and Ray as they dug into the munchies.
''And you think I'm bad.''
''We went over 15 hours without food.'' Max said between bites of his areo chocolate bar.
''So zip it!'' Ray grinned and stuffed his face with a few more all dressed orange colored chips.
''Kitten pass me the cell phone in the glove compartment.''
Ray did as asked and handed Kai the small portable phone.
''Who are you calling?''
''Who do you think Tyson?''
''Mr.D!'' Max filled in, tossing his garbage into a bag.
They all waited in silence till Kai finally spoke up when someone answered.
''That's horrible!'' On the other end of the phone line, the old man, Mr. Dickenson said. ''And where are you all now?''
''Back roads of Japan.'' Kai replied to the question, tapping his fingers against the stearing wheel.
''Meet me at the BBA central area.''
''We can't go into town. Boris will probably be around there.''
Looking at Kai curiously, all three boys watched him as he continued to converse with the old friend. Then suddenly he pulled the phone away from his ear without a proper 'goodbye' and hung up.
''So?'' In union, the back seat passenger's asked.
''Everything's going to be fine.''
He didn't say a word more and just kept on speeding the highway they were on.
~Dream sequence~
The surroundings were dark and somber. There was an eerie air to the cold chamber as it remained engulfed in the ebony obscurity.
''Anyone there?'' He said in a hoarse voice, barely audible to the human ear.
He felt very sequestered till the light sound of footsteps approaching caused him to tense up. He tried to move but found his hands were securely shackled behind his back.
'Not again' He struggled to move, trying to squirm desperately.
The collison of the foot and the floor came so close to behind him that his heart pounded widly in the cavity of his chest.
''Sleep well.''
The last laughed lined with a harsh and callous tone was the last thing he heard as an intolerable pain ran threw his body from the back of his neck causing him to fall into a darkness in his mind worst the one that had consumed the room.
''Please don't hurt him.'' Begged a voice normally so rugged and cold with not the smallest of room for emotion.
Regaining his senses, slowly he opened his dull and pained amber orbs to the dim light above him.
''He's finally come too.''
Blinking not once but twice, Ray looked up at the voice that came from behind him.
''B-Boris!'' He said in shock as the much older man smiled down at him in his malicious and malagant way. The glinting malevolence passing threw his purple orbs sent shivers down Ray's curved spine as he was slightly hunched forward.
''Why yes my boy.'' The sentence was followed by a low and intimidating chuckle that clearly left no room for defiance or anything else for that matter.
''Ray!''
Jerking his head back to look straight ahead, his eyes slowly clouded over with freely flowing tears.
''Kai!''
''Now that the reunion's over.'' His phlegmatic face remained the same, unfazed by the emotion that filled the room.
Being held back, Kai still faught to free himself from the guards strong grasp on his arms.
''Stay still or I'll-'' Boris ran his fingers threw the glossy raven locks and clenched his fingers, pulling back every stand along with Ray's head.
Letting out a wimper of pain that surged through his head, Ray suddenly tensed up as he felt the cold steal of a blade press against the flesh of his exposed neck.
Kai came to a complete stop, rendering his body imobile. The only movement that came from him was the rolling of tainted blue tears down his face.
Boris seemed obdurate to the situation as he slowly slid the knife along with tonned skin without piercing any of it.
''I didn't like the stunt you pulled Kai.''
The blade teasingly scratched his neck without drawing a single droplet of blood.
Swallowing hard causing his adam apple to rub against the blade, Ray closed his eyes shut tightly as his body wouldn't cease to tremble.
''We still want those bit chips.''
A small drop of salty water landed on the floor from Kai's teary eyes as he looked down at the floor.
''There-''
''Don't tell him!'' Ray choked out, ignoring the tighter clenching sensation and the nails that were almost digging into his head.
''Tell me or I'll slit his throat.'' The treath left no room for bluffs. Boris remained dead serious as he pushed the blade a bit more onto his neck.
''I- I don't have th- them'' He stammered in a small maunder.
A rancor feeling rose inside of Boris as a low growl escaped the depths of his throat and through his lips.
''That's not acceptable Kai.''
The velocity of Ray's heart beat was going too fast for him to barely breath. Once again, the horrible consuming feeling of unconsciousness shrouded his mind as he blinked furiously to keep himself from slipping away.
''I love you Kai.'' He said in a breath, still fighting to stay awake.
A feeling of disgust replaced the anger quickly as he jerked on Ray's head harder.
''There's no room for love here.''
''Ray, I love you too.''
The last straw of Boris's patience seemed to fade away at Kai's soon to be last words to Ray.
''Enjoy your last breath.''
The last sight Ray saw was the evil sneer spread across Boris's pale lips combined with the screams and plea's from his desperate lover. The pain was overwhelming as the knife dug deep into his skin shredding ever last piece as it was dragged along it's full lenght.
The decent into a placid light seemed to occur faster then he last thought but not before he tried to let out a wailing scream that only became muffled as the blood slowly pored into and out of his mouth. His last thoughts were filled of Kai and all the times they shared while his last taste was the one of bitter and unplesant copper.
~End of dream sequence~
Lying there, the raven-haired boy began to stir slightly. A cold sweat covered his slender and battered body as he lay under the ivory blankets. His jaw slowly opened as a small wimper filled the silent atmosphere. Then a small gasp and chocking sound ran through the air as he jerked up to a sitting position violently.
Blinking, he tried to catch his breath as his hands felt around his neck. There was no scar nor was there any blood anywhere. He coughed a few more times realizing that it had been nothing but a frightening nightmare. His tawny eyes scanned the area taking in every detail once again. He was in the BBA center under close watch till they could wrap things up and tie up a few loose ends. Namely, Boris.
Sighing, he felt himself slowly relax again, knowing he was safe and sound now.
''Ray.'' The small sleepy grumble caused him to tense up again as a soft hand trailed down his back.
''Are you okay kitten?''
Turning back, Ray smiled faintly at Kai who was barely awake.
''I'm fine.'' He replied reassuringly taking another deep breath.
He looked over to the next bed and let his smile grow wider at the wonderful sight of his friends.
Still fully asleep, completely oblivious to everything around them, Tyson and Max were snuggled up to each other like small kittens in search of another's warmth. Various body parts thrown over others, Ray couldn't help but feel slightly better. Now all he needed was some sleep of his own.
He lay back down on the bed and closed his eyes again in search of the sandman. Yet sleep didn't seem to come to him just then. Something didn't feel right and he knew exactly what that missing something was.
''Kai.''
''Hm?''
''I love you.'' He said warmly and cuddled up to the older up, resting his head upon his shoulder.
''I love you too.''
Kai wrapped and arm around Ray and laced there fingers together on his chest.
''Everything will be better in the morning.''
Responding to the statement, Ray nuzzled the side of his face against Kai and purred himself into a peaceful sleep.
*takes a deep breath* I'M DONE! *acts fidgity* Finally, this is now complete. So how was it? I know this chapter took a long time to finish but was it worth it? Has my vocabulary improved? Was my ending horrible? Tell me!
Before I leave I just want to thank all my reviewers. I wouldn't have went on if it wasn't for all of you's. I know I know, I sound like every other author but you have no idea how many times I was just going to remove this story and move on.
I don't know what to say anymore except...thanks once again...oh and sorry for any mistakes =^.^=!!!
Atealia your so right! My vocabulary sucks majorly.That's not what you said but that's my choice of words. So just for you, I went and read the synoymes pages of my dictionary. I know plenty of new words now. Weird right? Don't laugh.
Oh and Claire, I made them wimpy because it's more fun that way. It makes them easier to torure and they get more TLC afterwords. *nods at Shinwa* I hope you get enough of your requested tender loving care.
Thanks platinum Rei for my Kai plushie! *puts him on her shelf beside her Ray plushie*

''I'm fine.'' He replied reassuringly taking another deep breath.
He looked over to the next bed and let his smile grow wider at the wonderful sight of his friends.
Still fully asleep, completely oblivious to everything around them, Tyson and Max were snuggled up to each other like small kittens in search of another's warmth. Various body parts thrown over others, Ray couldn't help but feel slightly better. Now all he needed was some sleep of his own.
He lay back down on the bed and closed his eyes again in search of the sandman. Yet sleep didn't seem to come to him just then. Something didn't feel right and he knew exactly what that missing something was.
''Kai.''
''Hm?''
''I love you.'' He said warmly and cuddled up to the older up, resting his head upon his shoulder.
''I love you too.''
Kai wrapped and arm around Ray and laced there fingers together on his chest.
''Everything will be better in the morning.''
Responding to the statement, Ray nuzzled the side of his face against Kai and purred himself into a peaceful sleep.
*takes a deep breath* I'M DONE! *acts fidgity* Finally, this is now complete. So how was it? I know this chapter took a long time to finish but was it worth it? Has my vocabulary improved? Was my ending horrible? Tell me!
Before I leave I just want to thank all my reviewers. I wouldn't have went on if it wasn't for all of you's. I know I know, I sound like every other author but you have no idea how many times I was just going to remove this story and move on.
I don't know what to say anymore except...thanks once again...oh and sorry for any mistakes =^.^=!!!
