Chapter 8

I heard Rai creep into our room. I had my eyes closed but I could here him stumbling around. I wasn't sure what had happened about Tahnee and to be honest I didn't care! Rai was mine!

"Thanks for waiting up." He said in a hushed and sarcastic voice. He thought I was asleep.

"No problem." I sarcastically answered him back, sitting up and looking at him. A smirk was playing on my lips. "I couldn't sleep anyway."

He smiled, his cat fangs peeping out. "Well I'm all yours now. Tahnee got with Max in the end." He sounded surprised with the last part and looked thoughtfully at the wall. He then looked back at me. "Anyway I'm not bothered cause I have a sexy Russian." He walked over to me and kissed me. I returned the kiss also dragging him down on me.

He parted the kiss. "I can tell you missed me." He giggled.

"You have no idea." I ran my hands through his hair and pushed his head towards me as I kissed him this time with a little more passion. His kisses got more passionate. I could tell he was getting excited cause I could hear little purrs coming from him.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. From the surprise Rai accidentally jumped off the bed, smacking his head on the bed side table followed by a loud thud. I couldn't help but grin.

"Ray?" We heard Hillary, Tahnee's friend ask.

"Ow!" Rai rubbed his head, glaring daggers at the door. "What do you want Hillary?" He sounded annoyed and slightly pissed off.

"Are you like okay?" She asked. She sounded annoying from behind before the door and slightly blonde. She matches well with Tyson for sure.

"Do I sound alright?" My grin turned into a smirk. Pissy Rai, he was so cute when he was angry.

"Sorry was just making sure you were back. Where's Tahnee and the others?"

"Tahnee's with Max and they're still clubbing." He got up and walked over to his bed. "Now can I get to sleep like I was doing before?" He lied, climbing into his bed, still covering his bruised head with his hand.

"Okay." She left.

"Are you okay?" I asked with a smirk on my face. I found it funny to see Rai fall and bump his head. If Hillary wasn't so blonde she might have figured out what was happening. But thankful she was a little blonde I guess.

"I'm going to sleep." He said grumpily.

"Okay." I said with a little laugh. I thought it would be best to shut up and let Rai wake up in the morning in a better mood.

I walked in to the lounge to find Kai slouched on the sofa when I returned from work. I looked at him and then noticed Max was also present in the house. I could hear him humming in the kitchen. I walked over to Kai and leant near to him to plant a kiss on his lips, but I was interrupted.

"Rai you're home!" I backed off, accidentally bumping into the wall.

"And so are you." Was my response and I realised I didn't really wanna say that. But luckily Max just smiled and hopefully he hadn't seen anything.

"Yeah well it's my duvet day." He sat down on the other sofa, stretching his arms up with a loud yawn.

That reminded me. "I haven't had mine yet." I winked at Kai. Max didn't notice as he was now interested in the cartoon on the TV. I looked at Kai ad could see the wanting in his red eyes, it burned like fire. I know I had near enough same look in my eyes.

"Right well I'm off to have a shower." I told Max, hinting at Kai another meaning. "The TV's all yours Max." He tossed the remote over to the blonde.

"Thanks Kai." Max caught the remote and I exited the room, followed by Kai.

Once we were out of Max's sight, Kai grabbed me and the attack of passionate, lustful kisses started along with wondering hands from both of us. Luckily Max couldn't hear the pleasure groans escaping from both mine and Kai's throats. Rock music was blasting from the TV, thanks Max.

Suddenly the front door swung open with Hillary and Tyson arguing about something. Kai moved with such speed he was at the basement door, which was in the hallway. I was left breathless against the hallway wall from the pleasure that was just this instant stopped.

Tyson slammed the door. "You know Hill-" He stopped and looked me. "Are you okay dude?"

I panicked. "Yeah I-I'm fine." I realised I was still backed against the wall and probably looking quite flustered. Kai was still stood at the basement door, I could see him from the corner of my eye.

"Then how come you look nervous and very red?" Tyson asked, I needed to think of something really fast.

"I've just trained with Kai, I'm tired nothing else." I lied, hoping he would buy it.

"In your work clothes?" Tyson quirked an eyebrow. Shit it didn't work.

"Yeah it was an emergency training session." I managed to stumble out. He sure was snooping around and I was sounding like I was hiding something.

"What for?" He asked. What is this? I feel like I'm trial. And I couldn't think of an excuse.

"Diesty's lover is in town." Kai answered, saving me. We all looked at him; he was leaning against the door frame with his arms folded and his eyes closed. He opened them, his blood red orbs glaring at Tyson. Tyson was gritting his teeth also sending daggers to my lover with his blue eyes. Tyson then snorted, turned his nose up and stalked upstairs with a questioning Hillary after him.

I sighed loudly relaxing my back against the wall. I turned my head and looked at Kai. He was looking back at me with the same relieved look on his face.

"Thanks." I mouthed to him. He closed his eyes and nodded with a smile also on his lips.

I decided I needed a cold shower. That was a close one but the adrenaline rush was good. The risk of being caught turned both me and Kai on more, for some strange reason I'm not sure why. All I know is it felt great.

I left Kai still at the basement door to do whatever he wanted. I'm sure calming down was on the top of both our lists. Plus I knew I would see him again soon.

I watched Kai walk with his new friend down the alley. He still looked the same like the last time I saw him, which was about a hundred years ago or so. I can still remember that night like it was yesterday. I closed my eyes too push unhappy thoughts out of my mind. I opened my eyes to look at my rival, and I couldn't believe what I saw. Bryan was right after all, I saw Kai sharing a kiss with the guy he was walking with. The shock could be seen on my face for sure. I couldn't believe he was gay after all these years with Diesty. Come to think of it where is Diesty? I hadn't seen any trace of her anywhere, yet Kai was here. This is confusing to say the least. She isn't dead, she's not that careless.

"Tala they're in place." A voice said behind me as I watched the older vampire and his 'friend.'

"Thanks Ian. Let's see what happens now?" I watched as a group of vampires my gang had rounded up close in on Kai and his 'friend.'

"Brrrr….sure is cold tonight." Rai rubbed his arms. I on the other hand didn't really feel the cold.

"Do you want my jacket?" I offered him.

"Are you crazy Kai, it's freezing and if have your jacket that will leave you only in a vest." Always caring that's another thing I love about Rai. If only he knew what I really was, would he care then?

"I insist." I continued, pushing my thoughts back. "Anyway I don't feel the cold much." I took my deep purple jacket off, and wrapped it around Rai's shoulders. He then put it on properly listening to my instructions.

We both then heard growling and we both knew what it was. Vampires. Time to start slaying.

"Bout time we saw some action." Rai smiled, pulling his sword out from its sheath. "Time I used this for real."

I felt like smacking my head but I just raised an eyebrow instead, he had insisted on patrolling with it tonight.

"Ready Kai?" He asked as the gang of vampires came into view.

"As always." I smiled back. There were six of them three each. Nice little number.

"See Tala I told you he fought vampires now." Bryan joined Ian as I watched Kai fight the gang we had set up. What was he playing at? Why was he doing this? This isn't normal for Kai? I just don't get it! The only time I've killed vampires is when they have something I want. But wait they guy with him, his 'friend' isn't a vampire…..He's human! Kai is with a human! This is very confusing. What's he doing with a human?

"How does that human know how to fight us like that?" Spencer asked, also joining us from the shadows.

"It's obvious he's a slayer." I turned round to the Demolition Boys, answering Spencer's question.

"But I thought Slayer's were girls?" Bryan asked.

"I know so did I. I'm not sure why this man is a slayer." I too was baffled, just as much as my gang was.

"And another thing is why's Kai helping them?" Ian asked the obvious.

"Well time to find out." I smirked as I saw the last vampire drop dead.

"That wasn't so hard." Rai put his sword back in its sheath.

"No." I agreed but there was something suspicious about that attack, something quite not right.

Suddenly some-one jumped down in front if us. He landed on his feet and one hand on the floor, his head was looking down and his long black coat floated to the ground behind him. I growled as I recognized the man or shall I say vampire in front of me. He looked up at me with his ice blue eyes. He still looked the same. The same red weird styled hair with two bangs that fell forward. He had a long black coat with a massive collar that hid his mouth; it also had two big buckles on either shoulder. He wore black baggy trousers and probably a black top under his long coat.

"Well, well Kai long time no see." He smirked standing up and brushing himself off.

"What do you want Yuuri?" I stared at him. What was he doing here? And more importantly would he let slip of what I really am? This was not good, and I had to get Rai far away from him aswell as myself.

He closed his eyes and raised a hand to his face. "For Christ's sake Kai. It's Tala not Yuuri! It's always been Tala! Yuuri's my old name." He said in a slightly annoyed tone. So I kept forgetting, my mistake. Atleast he didn't say human name that would have really made Rai think. I looked a round to see if I could see any of my old gang, The Demolition Boys. If Yuuri….I mean Tala is here then they will be too.

"Kai who is he?" Rai asked, looking at me with his ember eyes. I wish I could tell him, but it would ruin everything.

I stared again at the Russian red-head. "He's nobody." I now looked at Rai. "Rai I want you to go home. I'll sort this out." I told him.

"Huh? Are you in some sort of trouble?" He asked, glancing over to Tala suspiciously. I hope Rai doesn't think me and Tala had a thing for each other way back. 

"Oh don't worry cat-boy I'm not into guys, so you have no need to worry." Tala walked over to Rai. Tala was thinking the same as me. But then this situation must have looked like that. Rai was about to reply when I interrupted him.

"Rai just go home. It's between me and Tala." I looked at Rai wishing he would just do what I asked. He can be really stubborn when he wants to be.

"If you insist Kai." He didn't look to happy about my wishes but obeyed them.

"I'll see you at home, okay?" I told him, he then left me with my old friend.

I watched Kai's cat-boy leave us. He was very obedient and very human.

"What are you doing here?" Kai snapped at me, my focus returning to him. He always did prefer the attention.

"I was just in the neighbour hood." I said quite cockily, closing my eyes and slightly turning away from him.

"Just as cocky like before." Kai replied, still snapping at me and his fangs showed a little too.

"Yeah well I was always the cocky one and ladies man and you were always cold and cruel. I think that's why Diesty liked us both." I still remained in my position but turned to look at my former Russian rival.

"Yeah well Diesty's dead." He said without emotion. I couldn't believe him. Diesty wouldn't have let herself get killed. She wasn't that careless. She wasn't dead, she couldn't be.

"I don't believe you!" I practically screamed at him. She wasn't dead, not Diesty.

"Well don't if you want to believe me it's your choice, but it's the truth." He sounded like he didn't care, turning to leave.

"Was it your slayer boyfriend?" I asked, he wasn't leaving yet. I had questions that he had to answer.

He stopped and turned around, a smirk set on his lips and his grey spikes were covering his eyes. "You think Rai's the slayer? You're more of a fool then I thought you were. Slayers aren't men. It was Rai's ex-girlfriend. Mariah Minx." He laughed, looking at me with his red eyes that seemed to burn like fire.

"I can't believe she was so careless." Bryan said, jumping down from the building my gang were watching from and landed on the floor on his feet. Ian and Spencer followed also landing on their feet.

Kai looked at his former gang mates. "I knew you were here somewhere, I could smell you." He sneered at them.

Bryan smirked at him. "Yes well we could smell you too Kai. And we thought we'd see for ourselves how our old gang leader is." Bryan replied. Kai and Bryan had hated each other since they first met, so I was use to this and pretty much expected it.

"Should I feel touched that you care?" Kai continued the trash talk with cockiness in his voice. "Now you've seen me, leave this town and never return! I don't want you bothering me again!" He turned to walk away.

I just stared at the figure walking away from me. Bryan was about to continue the trash talk with Kai but I put my hand him, silencing him.

If Kai thought a verbal talk would work, then how wrong he was. We were going to stay as long as I wanted. I have a score to settle with my former gang leader.

"Let's go." I told the Demolition Boys. I started to walk back to the shelter we were staying.

"Right Tala." The three said following me.

Okay there you have it chapter 8. I'm sorry it's really short. But this is all I could think of. I have had a massive writer's block for what seemed like forever. And it's sort of shifting. I'm hoping to wrap this ficcy up soon. So keep a look out for when it's updated. Thanks to everyone who has read it and left reviews.
