Chapter 5: BMW Truck

*Rei's P.O.V.*

I walk down the stairs and to the backyard, then I saw bubbles floating around, bubble, Tala! I went to the source of the bubbles and saw a small chibi with red wing shaped hair, Tala!

"Tala! Your back!" I say, the chibi turns around, it is Tala!

"Rei!" I chirped, then all of a sudden everything went black and Ian took Tala's hand and they started to walk off, "TALA!" I call out, the chibi turned to look at me, but waved and said, "Bye Rei."

I ran after them and was about to reach them when all of a sudden, the blackness grabbed me and pulled me into them, "Tala!" I cry out, hoping he would come and help me.

"Tala…" I call out one last time as a tear drop slid down my face before the darkness took me in…

"TALA!!!!!" I yell as I jumped, I looked at my surrounding, it was a dream…

I look at my full length mirror and realise I slept in my clothes from yesterday, I rub my head and went to the bathroom, got cleaned up and went back to my room to change into some clean clothes.

As I walked downstairs, I heard Tyson scream, "Come back here!" Does that mean Tala's back? Maybe Tala came back!

I ran down the stairs and jumped the rest, I look and see Tyson run past me, then I see him catch something small, I looked at it and was about to pull it in my arms when I realise it weren't Tala, it was a small kitten.

"This thing just came through the bathroom window and scratched up my curtains and couches!" Tyson said taking it to the door and putting it out.

I felt depressed as I realise it wasn't Tala.

It was lunch and I prepared the table, "Guys! Time for lunch!" I yell, Tyson yet again, first to sit down, then in came Max and then Kai.

Tyson started eating all his food, then he asked me, "Hey Rei, you do realise Kenny's not coming over to have lunch. So can I have the extra bowl?"

I look at the extra bowl, it was for Tala… "Sure" I said, Tyson gobbled down the food, I just shook my head and looked out the kitchen window.

"Forget Rei, he's not coming back." I turn to look at Kai, he got up and came over to me, what's he up to, then he grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the kitchen to his room.

"Rei, understand this, it may have been one day, but I noticed, the slightest thing that resembles Tala, you go nutso and go looking for him, get it into your head, Tala is not coming back!"

I pushed Kai against the wall and said, "Do you think I don't know that? There is a thing called hope you know Kai! You might not know what it is, but I do!" I say and make my way out of his room.

**************************

It's been almost a week since Tala has left me, and everyday, I feel more lonely and cold, I don't get enough sleep, you can see the black rings under my eyes.

The guys ask me what's wrong, I just say I'm just waking up on the wrong side of the bed.

I sit on my bed and look at the picture, then realisation struck me, "Kai's right, I'm just kidding myself, Tala isn't coming back, he's got Ian, he's back where he belongs…"

I walk up to the picture and took it down, I look at it intensely, then I just threw it in the bin. I got to start anew, I got to forget Tala. I got to accept reality.

I WILL forget Tala, for good.

*********************

*Normal P.O.V.*

"Ian! Want food!" Chibi Tala started to moan, Ian blinked a few times and went to the kitchen to cook something, when he came out, he held a pot noodle, "Here Tala." Tala sat down a held a fork, then Ian put the pot noodle in front of Tala, Tala te a bit and made a disgust face and scrunched up his nose, threw the pot noodle on the floor and started to cry, "WANT FOOD! WANT FOOD!"

"But, Tala, this is food, we used to always eat this…" Ian tried to stop Tala crying but it wasn't working.

"Want Rei cook!" Tala started to scream, Ian just sighed and picked up Tala, "Why don't we go and eat ice cream?"

Immediately Tala stopped crying and nodded.

At night, Ian held onto Tala as he slept, chibi Tala opened his eyes and looked at Ian.

*Chibi Tala's P.O.V.*

Me miss Rei, Rei always warm and always kiss Tala night, or holds Tala tight when Tala have bad dream, Ian love Tala, but Tala no love Ian like Tala love Rei…

Me want Rei.

Me wriggle and go to door, Ian good friend, but Tala no like Ian more than Tala like Rei.

"Bye bye Ian." Me whisper and go out of house.

Me go find Rei! Me tell Rei Tala sorry, Tala never want leave Rei again!

*********************

*Rei's P.O.V.*

I sat there watching T.V. I sighed and looked at the window, when I see Max running back and he seems to be carrying something, probably another smuggled victim, heh. Tala…no! I forgot about him!

"Rei! Kai! Tyson! HELP!" I hear him scream, just then the door flies open and he came rushing in, I looked at the thing in his arm…red hair…wait…it can't be….

"What's going on?" Tyson asked as he and Kai came walking in, "I found Tala in the middle of the road and he was badly hurt!" Max said.

I practically jumped at the chibi, "Tala! Tala! Wake up! Come on! It's Rei! Don't you wanna help me cook dinner? Don't you wanna play bubbles? Tala! Wake up!" I say, the chibi moved a bit and started to moan out a few words, then I blinked a few times as he rolled around, and started to curl up and then all of a sudden there was a loud crash of storm outside, we looked over and saw a flash of lightening, then the lights started to flicker, we turned back to look at Tala, he wasn't a chibi no more, he was himself…

No time for that, he's injured!

I picked him up, he's as light as he was when he was a chibi, but that's not the point, what's the point is I get him to the hospital, I ran out the doors and towards the hospital, no time for the ambulance.

"Can you get him into emergency, he's been hit, and is badly injured!" I said to the nurse, the nurse nodded and tapped a few things on the computer and directed me to the emergency room, they put him on the beds and wheeled him in.

A few hours later, the doctor came out, "How is he?" I ask, the doctor looked at his notes a bit more then turned back to me, "Well, by the looks of the cuts, he looks more like he got hit by a truck, I'd say a BMW truck installed with a motor of…"

"I don't give a damn about what TRUCK HIT HIM! I want to know his condition!"

"Well, it appears that his injuries are pretty serious, he's got 2 broken ribs, his whole right side seems to lost control, but that will heal itself, but the main problem is that he hit his skull, we gave him stitches, and everything, but his brain might have been affected.

"Well can I see him?" I ask, the doctor nodded, I pushed past the man and went in.

"REI!!" I hear before I fell onto the floor.

I look at who was on me, a full grown Tala, but he still acts like when he was a chibi, he flinched a bit, "Tala, why did you get off your bed?! Your injured!" I yell at him, then his eyes start to water and I hug him and kiss his forehead.

"I'm sorry, didn't mean to yell at you, just, come on, lets put you back to bed." I picked him up and was about to put him down when he pulled me down with him, "Hey! Tala!" I said, Tala's bottom lip trembled and I sighed, "What's up?"

"Rei sleep with Tala! When Tala with Ian, Ian no warm and nice like Rei treat Tala."

I stroke his face, how I missed this face, the feel, I laid down next to him and inhaled his scent, fresh grass after rain.

"Tala, I missed you." I said, he smiled at me and snuggled up into my chest, "Tala miss Rei too. Rei, Tala sorry for leaving! Tala sorry." he said, his voice might have deepened and its not as cute and pitchy as it was when he was a chibi, but he's still innocent as ever.

I kissed his forehead again and said, "Apology accepted, but Tala, your not a chibi no more, how come you still speak the same?"

"Don't you like my childish attitude Rei?" He said, huh, wait a second, that sounded normal…

"Tala, you…"

"Yes Rei? Tala do wrong?" Tala asked me…he's back to the way he was…

"No, you didn't do anything wrong." I say and I stroked his hair and he nuzzled in and went to sleep.

"I'm just glad I have you back…" I whispered and closed my eyes to drift off to sleep, the smell just luring me.

*Normal P.O.V.*

The Bladebreakers watched Rei and Tala from the doors, "I guess Rei really did miss him…" Tyson said, Kai just turned away and said, "Let's go, we shouldn't be interrupting."

***************************

*Ian's P.O.V.*

I woke up and looked to my side, Tala wasn't there, I got up and looked around, no where to be found.

"TALA!!!!!" I yell, no answer, then I ran out of the house, "TALA!!" I kept calling as I walked, I didn't see him anywhere, I walked on, all over the place, I couldn't find him, I ran back to the park, he's not there, I ran to the ice cream shop, he's not there, he's no where!

Why did you run off Tala? Am I not as good as Rei is? We shared so much before, why? I was about to walk back home when I noticed something familiar on the road, I went over and picked it up…its…Wolborg… but how…Tala's always careful with Wolborg…that must mean, Tala must've gotten into some kind of trouble… what if some evil man come and kidnapped him, who know what paedophile could do to a chibi?!?! Especially such a cute and good looking chibi! Argh! I got to fin him!!!

"TALA!! DON'T'T WORRY!!! I'M COMING!!!!" I scream as I ran all over town again.

***************************

*Rei's P.O.V.*

I stir a bit and open my eyes, there I saw a pair of beautiful blue eyes stare back at me, I blinked a few times, "Morning REI!" Tala said, I looked at him and smiled, I wasn't dreaming am I, Tala's here by my side, he's here…

I pinch myself hard, only to have my hand slapped, I looked at Tala and he said, "Why Rei hurting himself?" It's not a dream! Tala's here! Tala come back!

"Tala!" I hug him, I don't want to let go of him, it's been such a long time to me since I held him so close to me!

"What wrong Rei? Tala here! Tala ok!" He said hugging me back.

I move away a bit and look at him, I have to admit, despite he lost his cuteness, it was replaced with good looks…I think I'm blushing cause my cheeks feel very hot…

"Rei ok? Rei sick? Rei all red? Want Tala get doctor?" Tala snapped me out of my thoughts, I smiled and shook my head, "No, it's ok!" I say, Tala nodded and leaned on my chest.

"Rei smell pretty, what Rei use to smell so nice?" Tala asked me.

I smile and said, "I use Strawberry shampoo for my hair and vanilla soap. How about you, you always smell like fresh grass after rain!" I say, suddenly, he looked like he was concentrating really hard, "Tala, what's wrong?" I ask him.

Then he blinked a few times and smiled at me, "Nothing wrong with Tala! But Rei smell pretty!" He says.

"If there's one thing I really missed is when you make Tyson angry and he starts chasing you."

'Yeah, and you also missed hugging him, and kissing him and sleeping with him.' Drigger said to me.

I think I'm going to look like a ripped tomato, I swear I'm blushing like crazy.

"DOCTOR!!!! DOCTOR!!! REI SICK!!!! HELP!!!!" I hear Tala scream, just then, the doctors come scrambling in and started opening my mouth and examine in my ear and looking at my eyes and checking my heart beat, I narrowed my eyes, and well, the doctor who was examining my eyes jumped and fell onto the one who was examining my ear who then grabbed onto the one who was checking in my mouth who then fell onto the one who was checking my heart beat, it was like dominos!

Tala sat on top of the pile of doctors and laughed, "Rei do that again!"

"Next time Tala!" I said sitting up and putting Tala back on the bed, "You should be the one on the bed, your whole right side is supposed to be out of control and you can still walk?"

"Tala don't know!" He said, hmm…must be something to do when he was in the abbey, experiments? Chemicals? Him being a cyborg? Whatever, at this moment, I need to go get something to drink.

"You want anything Tala?" I ask, he nodded.

"Me want Rei!" He says clinging to my arm.

"For a big guy, if you do that in the streets, I think your going to scare all the people away! But apart from me, what else do you want?" I ask him.

"I want a kiss." He says normally, huh…

"What did you say Tala?" I ask him.

"Tala want chocolate cake!" He said, I could've sworn, nah, I think I'm paranoid!

"Ok, you wait here ok, I'll go get it." And with that I ran down to the cafeteria.

***********************

*Normal P.O.V.*

"Ian, slow down!" Bryan called as he and Spencer chased Ian around town.

"Tala is a kid, he could be anywhere, he could be hurt! We got to find him!" Ian yelled.

"Yeah, but Ian! Watch out for the cars! Slow down! You might have a big nose, but your too short for them to see! Slow down!" Spencer called after him.

Ian ran and ran, ignoring his friends, using his big nose to sniff out Tala's scent, he followed it and it lingered off somewhere.

Bryan and Spencer watch in horror as a BMW truck came zooming down the road and before they knew it, Ian got hit and went flying 2 blocks away.

The two LIVING demolition boys ran over to Ian and started to shake him, "Ian, wake up!" They started to call, Bryan picked him up and Spencer went over to the BMW truck, the door to the truck opened and Michael and Eddy came out and had a look at the front.

"Dude, that kid totally wrecked our truck!" Eddy said,

"Yeah, you can see the nose imprint, eww, it's even got nose hair on our truck, man this sucks!" Michael said.

"No doubt about it, Steven's gonna crush us once we get back. He already squished us when we hit that kid and his hair shape was imprinted, I thought it looked kinda cool, looked like wings!" Eddy said.

"Don't forget…" Michael looked at Spencer and glared at him, "What do you want?" He said, Spencer just glared at them and walked over to the drivers seat, and drove forward causing the two All Stars players to scramble out of the way, Bryan held Ian and got into the truck.

************************

Ian got rushed into emergency and the two demolition boys waited outside, when the doctor came out, they ran over to him, "How is he?" They ask.

"Well, he has 2 broken ribs, he has no control over his whole left side and we had to stitch his head up which may have some effect on his brain, plus we has to bandage his nose and blood and snot started dripping out at wrong places. It appears he got hit by a BMW truck with a motor that…"

"SHUT UP!" The two boys yelled and the doctor nodded and walked off, "Critics, they ask how he is, I give them full details or they end up suing me for not telling them enough, sheesh." the doctor mumbled.

The nurses pushed the cart that Ian was on to a room, they put him on the bed, there was a screen in between Ian's bed and the person next to it.

Meanwhile…

"Open your mouth for the train!" Rei said, but Tala refused to eat it, "Come on Tala, I thought you said you wanted to eat chocolate cake, then you said you wanted me to feed you and now I'm feeding you! Do you know how long I had to wait in line for this?"

Tala started to pout and said, "Tala no like spoon, want cake mushie!"

Rei sighed and started to stab the cake, then he tried to again and Tala turned away, "You said you wanted mushier cake, now its mushie!" Rei said.

"Want Rei to make Mushie for Tala." And then Tala took the spoon and plunged it into Rei's mouth and started to move Rei's mouth in a chewing way, then Tala leant forward and kissed Rei, opening his mouth and used his tongue to take the cake.

"Nice!" Tala smiled innocently.

Rei was in shock, 'Tala just kissed me…' he was thinking, then Tala pulled on his sleeve, "Want more Rei-CAKE!" I just nodded and did as he did earlier.

As soon as the last piece of cake was chewed, I leant down to Tala and he kissed me, taking the cake, and as I was about to pull away, he wrapped his arms tighter around my neck and the kiss intense, it was more passionate.

When we split apart for air, Tala smiled at me innocently and said, "Thank you for feeding Tala Rei-cake Rei!"

I just blinked a few times and just nodded, Tala went under his covers and went sleep, I decided that I should go home and get some rest and think things over.

*Rei's P.O.V.*

That was weird, first I feed Tala cake from my mouth, then he just kissed me and then he acts like nothing happens and goes to sleep. What really freaks me out is that sometimes, he speaks like normal and not in his chibi way.

I walked past the screen in between Tala's and someone else's bed, not bothering to look because people deserve their privacy.

I went home and took a shower, all night, I kept trying to work things out.

Maybe this is the effect that's happening to Tala since he crashed his head, yeah, maybe that's right, he doesn't know what he's doing…but, I liked that……I like what he's doing…I like Tala…heh…I smirked at myself, I have a big time crush on the ex-chibi, the team leader of the Demolition boys. If the guys found out, they will freak, especially Tyson!

Speaking of crushes, I remember when Tala was a chibi and he told me something…

*Flashback*

"Rei!" Tala sang, I smiled and picked him up, "What's up?"

"Why Tyson have a picture of Maxie in shorts sleeping?" He asked me, hello, what's this…

"What was that Tala?" I ask again, to be sure what I heard.

"Me was in fatness monkster room and find Maxie in shorts sleeping picture, me take picture and Tyson chase me, he say no important so me draw, me find it under Tyson pillow!" He said, I smirked.

"Tyson has a crush on Maxie!" I say, Tala blinked a bit and tilt his head, "Crush? But Maxie is still big and ok!"

"No, no, Tyson likes Maxie a lot!" I explain. Tala grinned and hugged me and said, "That mean Tala have crush on Rei too!" I laugh and took the chibi to the kitchen to prepare the bubbles.

*End Flashback*

I wonder if Tyson still has some more pictures of Max. Heh, wait a second, I came home to think my problems out, not to play cupid, remember when you tried to play cupid for Kevin…

*Flashback to when Rei in China after Asian Tournament*

I walked to the lake and sat there, it was really nice, then someone ran up to me calling my name, I turn around and see Kevin, "Hey Kevin, what's up?" I ask.

He smiles and starts to blush, I turn fully and look at him, "What's up?"

"Well, you see……I uh…..want you to do me a favour…" He was blushing badly, it really didn't go with his green hair.

"Well, what is it? You know you can ask me anything and I'll do it if I can." I say to him.

"Well," He took a deep breath, "IwantyouthelpmegetMariahtogooutwithme!" he said, I blinked a few, trying to register the words. "Could you say that again please. And a little slower?" I ask.

He takes a deep breath and says, "I want you to help me get Mariah to go out with me." He says, now he looks like one of those traffic lights in the cities.

"Sure, I'll help you, but your going to have to do most of the work though." He practically choked me as he hugged me tightly.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" He kept saying to me, I pulled him off me and told him a list of things to do.

Later on in the night…

"Where are you taking me Rei?" Mariah asked me as I covered her eyes, I took her to the lake and removed my hands, she looked around and gasp, "Rei this is beautiful!" She said and she turned around, heh, I was hiding behind a tree, Kevin did decorate this place well, with fireflies in bottles hanging on trees, flowers floating in the lake and candles on the flowers, really romantic.

"Hey Mariah." Kevin said, Mariah turned around and looked….down at Kevin…I should of kinda worked on something to not make it that awkward for him, well, lets see what he does.

"Do you like this Mariah?" Kevin asked, Mariah just nodded and said, "Kevin, why are you here? Where's Rei?"

"Rei just helped me lead you here, I was the one to meet you here. I did all this for you." He said and then he took her hand, uh oh, Mariah looks pissed…"REOW!" Mariah screeched and scratched Kevin diagonally across the face, I should've warned him that Mariah doesn't like people holding onto her hand like that… She stormed off… I walked out to Kevin and pat his shoulder, "It's ok Kevin, maybe next time." He glared at me and said, "There won't be a NEXT TIME! ARGH! MY FACE!" He yelled as he stormed off too…heh, well, that would be my fault, I feel so guilty…"

*End Flashback*

Nah, I don't want to ruin Tyson's chances with Max, the good thing is Max won't scratch, hopefully…..

Argh, I got to think about my problems! Focus…must…fo…cus…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz………….
