Chapter 7: Reclaiming.

The hall way was dark and quiet. No Max, no Tyson, no stalkers. Something white caught his eye and he bent down to pick up a piece of paper.

Rei reappeared in the bathroom doorway looking pale.

Kenny frowned "What's wrong?"

Rei handed the paper to Kenny who scanned it and looked up at Rei in shock. "How do we know their not lying." "They may be lying about being able to help Kai, but..they have them."

Rei held up a chain with a ring in the end. He had given it to Max for his birthday a year ago and Max never took it off.

"Oh shit."

____________________________________________________

"What are we going to do?" muttered Kenny quietly, looking over Kai.

Rei shrugged. "Call Mr. Dickinson for one thing…." Kenny nodded.

"We're going after them!"

The two boys turned to see Kai leaning on the doorframe.

Rei moved forward "Kai, your seriously sick. You're not going anywhere."

Kai grabbed the front of Rei's shirt with surprising strength for someone who couldn't stand a minute ago. "Listen Rei, you want to go just as much as me, and you're not going to stop me. So either help me get there or get out of my way."

Rei studied Kai's face. There was no way he was going to back down and Rei knew in this state he could take him easily.

Kai was right though, Rei did want to go. "Fine Kai, you win."

Rei slung an arm around Kai's shoulder for support and turned to Kenny. "You go call Mr. Dickinson and get help. You know where were going so just hurry would ya?"

Kenny frowned "Are you sure Rei? I mean Kai is not exactly….."

Rei looked at him "You going to tell him no?"

"Good point. Just be careful."

Rei gave him a grim smile "I really don't think that's an option at this point."

//Ow, ow painpainpainpainpain. Why? Why the hell is it always me who gets the knocks the head and the pounding headaches? I'm surprised I can still think straight//

Tyson blinked a few times, trying to focus. //Hell, I'm surprised I can think at all. Now lets see here….. Kai, sick, ice, Sean, Max, Jen……..fuck!!!!! Awww shit, fuck, damn, hell, random profanity!!//

He tried to rub his head and worryingly found he could not. //Oh we're in real shit this time!….. Max//

"Max." Tyson stared at the ceiling, working on getting rid of the spots and tiny dancing birds that plagued his vision. He heard an pained groan from near by, and rolled over.

"Max? That you?"

The small blond sat up, with some difficulty and looked around the room. "Yeah Tyson, its me. Well at least we know something for sure." Tyson struggled to it up and looked at his friend, who was also bound. "Oh, and what is that?"

"That these guys aren't willing to pay for comfort."

The room they sat in was small and cramped. There were two small single beds that looked like they were about to disintegrate. The walls were coated in grime and the two boys wrinkled their noses at the smell of mould and decay in the air. Tyson moved slightly as he watched a cockroach make it's way across the floor.

"Yeah or cleanliness."

Max smiled weakly "Where do you think we are?"

Tyson looked around again one door, no windows. "Well, either our hotel is so much worse than we thought, or a roach motel. Either way, doesn't look like we'll be checking out any time soon."

"What a cheery outlook you have Tyson!" He shrugged

"Hey, my glass is always half full." Tyson looked at the door. They may be joking, but both of them knew it was just to keep despair away, and Tyson seriously doubted it would work for long.

Max watched Tyson out of the corner of his eye. He could see the cheerful mask cracking slowly, but then again it had been doing that for the last few weeks. He twisted his hands behind his back but stopped as the tough plastic ties cut into his wrists. Well, there goes the breaking free theory.

He lent back against the damp wall. //We are so screwed!//

____________________________________________________

Rei stopped for a moment and rested against a tree, first helping Kai sit without breaking something. He wiped his brow and looked and the horizon. A thin line of red had appeared, making the time about 04:30.

[Drigger?]

{Yeah I'm here.}

[How are they doing?]

{All reports say their fine…..for now, I'd hurry. Draciel and Dragoon are getting very….um, anxious. And Dranzer isn't faring too well either} [O.K, tell me if you feel anything]

Rei glanced down at Kai. "You ready to keep going?"

Kai nodded silently and used the tree to pull himself up to the ground.

____________________________________________________

Tyson looked at Max as he dozed fitfully. It didn't look like they were going to make a miraculous Blade Breakers escape this time. Their run of good luck had come to an end it seemed. And at the most inconvenient time. He thought back to the last few days. He'd hardly spoken two words to anyone but Max.

He really wanted to see Kai once more before…….well he didn't know what was going to happen, but he sure as hell wanted to see Kai again. He wanted to tell him he was forgiven. Hell, Tyson could hardly remember why he was mad in the first place. And now Dragoon wasn't talking to him.

Well might as well give it ago.

[Dragoon, buddy? You there?]

{As always.}

Tyson nearly passed out in relief. [Why didn't you talk to me sooner?]

{Couldn't. I cant find you when your passed out}

[I've been awake for an hour]

{Well I've been busy}

[While I'm tied up by a bunch of crazy people, nice.] A thought struck Tyson. [How's Kai?]

His bit beast paused uncomfortably ['Goon? Tell me]

{He's not good Ty. He and Rei are on their way to you.}

Tyson started and then looked over to Max who looked like he was talking to Draciel,. [Not that I'm not grateful, but, are they Crazy?? Kai should be at a hospital and there's no way Rei can take on all of them on his own]

{You try arguing with them. And you know Kai, he's stubborn}

Tyson sighed. There was no sense in that boy.

He heard something at the door. ['Goon I gotta go. No matter what happens, tell Kai I'm alright, and that I love him]

{Ty…}

[Just tell him!!].

The door opened slowly and the looming shape of Jen was framed in the light coming from the room outside. Tyson blinked at the sudden illumination.

"Jen. Good to see your Neanderthal visage again."

Max raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't even know that Tyson knew what 'visage' meant. Let alone a word that had more than 2 syllables.

Jen entered the room and looked at Tyson like a very happy(very stupid) cat who had just gotten the cream. "Now don't be like that, you might be punished for being rude."

Tyson didn't reply, just stared back in defiance. "What? No quick insult? Well I guess I'll just have to get some noise out of you."

Jen grabbed Tyson's shirt and began to drag him to the door.

Max struggled against his bonds in the corner. "Tyson….no."

Jen paused and turned to face him. "Don't worry, Sean will be in, in awhile."

Jen dragged Tyson out and shut the door, leaving Max alone in the darkness.

____________________________________________________

Rei looked up at the ramshackle building where, apparently Max and Tyson were being held. "Why do the bad guys always have to have crappy accommodation. Why cant we fight a rich bad guy for once."

"Voltair was rich." Rei looked around at Kai who was resting against a wall.

"Maybe but the abbey was shit hole."

Kai smiled grimly. "Your telling me!"

Rei looked up at the building again and looked back at Kai. "You ready?"

Kai nodded. "If we're really lucky, the police will get here just as we get to the door."

Rei looked doubtful "When have we ever been that lucky?"

Kai shrugged, and then groaned as a stabbing pain shot through his head. Rei jumped forward to support him. "Are you sure about this?" Kai just looked at him and Rei knew there was no way he was turning back.

"Well, lets do this." Rei knocked with, what was probably too much force, on the door as plaster rained down on their heads. The door was opened by Kia, who smiled cruelly when she saw who it was.

"Hmmm, I knew you'd be back for more. And you.." She nodded at Kai. "…well, I guess you didn't have much of a choice."

Rei gave her a revolted look. "Shut up and let us in."

"All business are we? Fine." She stood aside and motioned the pair inside.

The room was shabby and poorly furnished. Sean, who was sitting at the table, looked up and smirked as the came in. Jen and Derek were nowhere in sight. He got up and approached the two.

He looked at Rei. "I do you've come here to fuck Kia, 'cause the blond tit bit, well lets just say I think he likes me better."

Rei's usual calm composure was shoved aside for fury as he punched Sean hard in the face and he went down. Sean groaned and stumbled back to his feet. "You fucking bastard, I'm gonna kill you!"

"I'd like to see you try." Shot back Rei.

Kia walked up the two and tried to separate them. "Sean, do I bruise your fucking property? No. Leave it." She laid a hand on Rei's arm but he shook her off roughly.

"I am not your property, and don't touch me."

Unbeknownst to most of them Derek was watching from a dark corner.

Sean marched over to a door and entered. When he reappeared he was dragging a fairly unscathed looking Max behind him. "This what your looking for, huh? Come and fucking get him!!"

Rei began to move forward but he knew if he left Kai would be helpless, but if Sean tried anything he was a dead man.

All five of them were distracted by another noise.

A door to the side opened and Jen stepped out grinning widely.

"Well…" said Kia casually. "..did we have fun?"

Through the door behind Jen, Kai caught a glance of Tyson. His face was dirty and tear streaked as he reached for a piece of torn clothing to cover himself. A rage that Kai had never experienced surged through him. He may have been seriously ill, but that was not going to stop him. A strength previously non-existent pulsed through him as he growled and launched himself towards Jen. The two went down in a heap of limbs and fists. It took Jen a minuet to realize who was attacking him, but once he did he regained the upper hand. Despite the strength Kai's anger had given him , Jen was much bigger, stronger and in a better physical state than Kai was. The bigger man soon overpowered Kai. Jen picked him up and threw him against the wall, where he slid to the ground and didn't move. By this time Tyson had managed to find some intact clothing and had made his way out to the scene of the action. He darted to Kai's side, as did Rei as he was still unable to get to Max.

"Tyson. You o.k.?" Rei knew it was a stupid question but it had to be asked all the same.

Tyson didn't answer, just continued to check on Kai and Rei didn't pursue it. Meanwhile an argument had started between Jen and Derek, who had removed himself from his shadow.

"Don't be a dick, Derek! The bitch attacked me."

"Don't call him that!! No one hurts my Kai!"

Suddenly Derek lunged at Jen who shouted in pain and his eyes grew wide with shock. Derek stepped back, laughing manically as Jen dropped his knees, a gaping knife wound in his stomach. Jen fell forward and then ceased to move. The whole room was silent all taking in the gravity of the situation.

"Shit Derek, what the fuck did you do?" Kia spoke softly as she approached Jen's body.

"I defended the person I love."

Kia shook her head. "This not what I signed on for. He is not worth it. Come on Sean." Kia darted out the still open door. Sean looked at Max, then at Jen and quickly followed.

Rei shot to Max's side and undid his restraints. The pair shared a quick embrace before heading for the door.

"Come on Tyson." Shouted Max as the reached the door.

Tyson had already slung an arm under Kai's and was heading for the door.

"No." shouted Derek from behind them. "If I cant have him, no one can."

A gun shot rang through the room and Kai slipped from Tyson's grip and lay on the floor, blood steadily spreading from beneath him.

"Kai" Tyson looked as the dark red pooled around his feet.

Derek dropped the gun and it skittered across the floor.

Tyson turned and looked at Derek who laughed again. Different this time. Happiness, sadness and madness in one anguished sound.

"Now look what you made me do. Your going to have to go too." He pulled out a knife, still stained with Jens blood. As he began to approach Tyson jumped forward and grabbed the gun up from the floor. He trained the gun on Derek shakily. Derek stopped momentarily and smiled. "You couldn't do it little boy. You couldn't live with yourself."

With that Derek lunged at him savagely.

Tyson blinked back tears pulled the trigger and fired.

End Chap.

Chaimera: *gulp*

C.C: Oh this is going to be good

Tyson/Kai: YOU ARE A DEAD WOMAN

Chaimera: eep

Kaz: *on the floor laughing*

Rayne: It's not *snigger* funny *snort*……ok yes it is. Please review.
