Kai cleared the wall that surrounded the hotels garden, running down the darkening streets towards the place that he had never wanted to see again. However, he knew what had to be done. Only slowing his pace when he reached the front gates Kai made his way carefully up to the front door to be greeted and then ushered in by one of the many butlers. When the butler reached the doors that lead into his masters' study, he motioned Kai to enter saying that his grandfather had been waiting for him.
Rei sighed as he got up off the ground after watching Kai take off and slowly trudged off towards the hotel and the others. Relaxing as the warmth of his hotel room hit him as he walked in through the door and dropped down on the couch. Only then did he take in his surroundings, looking up from his place on the couch towards the kitchen he saw that Kenny was sitting at the table working as usual, Tyson was also there and max was cooking.
Max looked up from cooking to see Rei lying on the couch.
"Oh, hi Rei, didn't see you come in, do you want a pancake?" Max asked, indicating to the frying pan. Rei refused politely, he wasn't hungry only tired.
"Hey Rei where is Kai?" Tyson questioned, noticing Rei for the first time also.
"He went back," was all Rei said in reply.
"WHAT!?" the other three yelled.
"Why would he do that?" Kenny questioned, stunned. Rei didn't answer only shrugged, Kai hadn't told him why he was actually going back all he knew was Kai's grandfather wanted Kai to return or the same thing would happen again.
"Should we go stop him?" Tyson asked interrupting Rei's thoughts, Rei shook his head, it would be to late to stop Kai, he would've already been there by now.
Rei spent the rest of the afternoon lying on the couch trying to take his mind of Kai though he couldn't. Kenny soon appeared from behind the couch, the others had decided on ordering pizza for dinner and was wondering what Rei wanted, he told Kenny that he didn't mind and made his way to the kitchen to watch Max and Tyson try to play poker.
Kai stood patiently in front of his grandfathers' desk; head bowed as a sign of respect not wanting any more trouble waiting to be addressed by his superior. A few minuets of silence passed by before Voltair looked up at Kai.
"You know why you're here don't you," Voltair said icily.
"I failed to fulfil what was required of me and betrayed the biovolt organisation in doing so disgracing my family name," was Kai's reply. After a few more minuets of silence Voltair finally spoke again, this time in a more serious tone.
"You are no longer needed. I have found someone else more successful for the job. However, I want you to know that if you weren't my grandson I would see to it you were beaten again and then some serious training. Though since you are you are allowed to go however your not to tell anyone about any of this, if you do my people will track you down once again, though the consequences will be far more serious."
Kai said nothing still looking at the ground thinking hard.
"Is that understood!?" Voltairs cold voice interrupted his thoughts,
"It is understood," came Kai's equally cold reply.
"That's good...now get OUT!" Voltair snarled, pointing towards the two doors. Kai slowly walked towards the doors head still bowed only pausing when he heard Voltair addressing him again.
"I will be leaving for the USA in the morning for a few weeks, business, you can stay here or go where you want it doesn't bother me," was all he said.
After leaving the house Kai headed towards the front gates on the mansions front yard when distinctive barking caught his attention, it was the guard dogs. Voltair had let the bloody guard dogs out on him.
"Bastard," Kai snarled.
He saw them coming and smirked, he knew could out run them, he had done it before and would do it again. As the dogs came closer Kai ran for the closer of the walls clearing it with ease, stopping to hear the bark of the dogs as they arrived at the wall, they were no where close to being as good a jumper as him; no one was. Kai looked up at the starry night sky sighing, he had been in there longer than he intended and then headed off down the darkly shadowed streets in the direction of the hotel.
Rei meanwhile had finished eating his fill and was now sitting silently on his bed looking at the moon that shone its silvery light through the bedroom window, their pizza had arrived in good time as Tyson and Max had got bored with cards and were throwing them around the room. Rei sighed he had left Kenny with them and the cards to come in here where it was quiet.
Rei woke up to the sound of the bedroom door slowly opening, as his eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness he saw the silhouette of Kai standing in the doorway. Rei jumped out of bed and ran over to Kai, wrapping his arms around him, Kai laughed silently as he wrapped his arms around Rei's slender frame; he had thought Rei was asleep.
"What took you so long? Is everything alright?" Rei asked hastily, looking up at Kai who smiled down at him.
"Everything is fine, don't worry," he whispered back.
