Meanwhile, Voltair was in furious and deadly mood as he paced up and down his study. Once again, Kai had failed to report to him, the third time in a row and now he couldn't locate him so he had sent for Tala. Tala was the leader of the Demolition Boys and they had recently started working for Voltair as a back up plan if Kai failed, which he did and failures needed to be punished.
He had informed Tala of Kais betrayal and had sent him on a mission to see what his grandson was up to and to observe his and the BladeBreakers actions. Tala obeyed and it was obvious that he thought Voltair was just after data and other information. Voltair smirked and Tala's naivety, he didn't want data, he had something different in mind for the traitor of a grandson he had been burdened with for all these years. He would make Kai pay dearly for his betrayal.
Tala had been following the Bladebreakers since their last hotel, and he had made note of everything that went on from room arrangements to training programs as Voltair had never told him exactly what to look for. He hadn't asked either, it was a need to know basis and as it turned out he didn't need to know. However one thing he did know was that it wasn't wise to Question Voltair's orders.
Since it was so late at night when they had arrived at their hotel most of the team had decided to go straight to sleep, all besides Tyson who decided that food was the first priority.
Kai managed to get the first turn in the shower that night in his and Rei's room, he let the warm water run over his body getting rid of the tenseness of the day. When Kai finally came out he was just in boxers and his hair was still dripping.
Rei was entranced and just stared at the blue haired boy but managed to quickly snap out of it. He grabbed his stuff and headed for the shower. When he was done he found Kai was lying on their bed, arms folded up under his head staring at the ceiling.
Rei moved silently over to the bed and softly sat down next to Kai,
"Kai...?" he questioned, watching as Kai looked up at him,
"Hn," was all Kai said to let Rei know that, yes, he was listening, he knew Rei was concerned about him but he didn't want to tell him...not yet. Kai mentally sighed, he didn't want Rei to see him so weak again.
Rei looked into Kai's pleading crimson eyes and sighed,
"Kai I'm just worried about you and I can help you if you would just let me know what's going on," he told his leader.
"Its nothing just a bad dream that's all," Kai quickly replied and with that he turned onto his side so his back was facing Rei. Rei inturn sighed in defeat before lying down and trying to get to sleep. However, no matter how much he tried, he couldn't tell his mind to stop worrying.
It was late that night when Rei stirred in his sleep, he was somewhere between asleep and awake though he could hear something that sounded sadly familiar. Rei sighed as he shifted his body into a sitting position; it was Kai again. Rei looked down at the poor boy lying beside him, wishing that Kai would tell him what was going on so he could help him. Rei ran his fingers through the boys blue hair and carefully scooped him up into his arms rubbing his hand up and down Kai's back until the whimpering ceased; he didn't like to see him so sad and frightened. With Kai now sleeping soundly Rei lay back down into the warmth of the bed bringing Kai who was still in his arms down with him. However, what Rei failed to notice was Tala. He had been watching from the window, shocked yet also confused with what he had just witnessed.
