Disclaimer: I own none of the characters.
Here I am with the last chapter before the epilogue.
I know it seems sudden, but this fic sadly is coming to an end.
I'm going to write an epilogue so don't think I'm doing to stop it right at the end. My thanks to those who reviewed the last chapter.
And now on with the fic.

Chapter Ten – Revenge lives throughout the years.
The hospital floor that held Rei was busier than usual. Room 213which currently held Rei, cracked open. A crimson orb scanned the premises of the hall. Silently the door closed with the softest of clicks. Kai turned around and faced Rei who was sitting on his bed watching Kai. Rei raised an eyebrow.
"Well?" he said quietly.
"That way isn't going to be an option." Answered Kai. He looked around the room. Groaning at the window, he hoped that it didn't come to that. He walked over to the window and looked out. Turning around again he faced Rei.
"The window seems like the only way out without getting caught. Still you're in no position to-...." Kai was cut off by Rei's weary, but determined voice.
"No. Tala is out there. I don't want to lose him."
"I know you don't. Neither do I, but its safer if I go and you stay. I'll bring him back safely." Again Rei shook his head.
"Whenever something involves you and Tala, safety doesn't exist. I want to go with you. I'm strong enough to make it. These wounds look worse than they are." Said Rei. Kai looked at Rei before lowering his head in defeat.
"Fine, but you're feet aren't touching the ground." Said Kai, walking over to Rei. He grabbed a sweater and carefully put it over Rei's frail form. Tying Rei's hair back he bent down and helped Rei climb onto his back. Gently securing Rei, he unlatched the window, opened it and carefully got onto the ledge. Sliding onto the second roof he slowly climbed down the ladder that was connected to the wall. Once on the ground he checked Rei, noticing the neko-jin was resting. Silently, but quickly he made his way over to his car. Gently placing Rei in the passenger seat he went to the driver's side and got in. Putting on his seat belt, and checking the mirrors he started up the engine and drove off before anyone in the hospital noticed their missing presence.

After finding the note in the warehouse, Tala moved on the catch Lee. He searched around the town looking for his prey. Making his way to the edge of the town he peered out into the distance noticing a glint of silver and gold. Curiosity setting in, he headed down to the source which was over by the bridge connecting the island to the mainland. Treading through the slightly rocky area he came to the edge knowing that whatever was there was below. He stepped down the steep edge minding his footing. Reaching the platform under the bridge he did a scan of the area. Sensing something approach he turned to strike only to be met with the attacking fists and gleaming golden eyes filled anger and disgusts. Blocking Lee's fists they both stayed still glaring into each other's eyes. Cold ice vs. solid gold.
"I'm quite amazed that you made it here. I surely thought that you were incompetent. Guess I was wrong." Mocked Lee grinning at Tala. Tala glared at Lee further, slightly surprised at his strength.
"You should know not to vandalize things that belong to me. I don't like it." Said Tala. Lee's smirk grew.
"A thing is he? Well there is something we both have in common. Our outlook on those not worthy of us or our presence." Both Tala and Lee growled at each other before relasing their grip on each other and attacking at full force. Punches and kicks were hurried at each other; some being blocked and others finding their targets. Lee punched Tala only to be met with thin air. He stumbled to one knee. Breathing he turned his head a bit to see Tala standing behind him. Wiping the trail of blood that seeped out of his mouth he stood up and faced Tala.
"You know we don't have to do this. Why if you were to leave that filth this moment, I would walk away from here as if nothing ever happened." Said Lee glaring at Tala. Tala didn't let his defenses down.
"Why are you so against him? I thought you were the best of buddies?" asked Tala. Lee threw his head back in a mocking laugh before turning back to Tala.
"That's where everyone was wrong. I've never forgiven Rei for what he did. Driger was mine, and it doesn't help that he put our village to shame with it." As soon as those words left Lee, Tala's eyes lost their crazed look. His angry look turned to one of confusion and guilt for what he had been doing.
"What? You did all that to Rei just to get Driger?" asked Tala dropping his arms to his side. Lee saw his opportunity. He lunged at Tala forcing him against the brick wall. Hearing Tala cry out in pain he reached for the knife that was at Tala's side. Bringing it up to Tala's left cheek he ran the blade over the pale skin watching Tala wince slightly.
"This seems so familiar. Sadly Rei was already in tears by the first cut. I then remember bringing it across his arms." Bringing the blade down he slowly sliced Tala's left arm watching the blood quickly leave Tala's arm. Tala kicked Lee's stomach sending the lion back. Lee held his stomach and watched Tala come towards him. Blocking him again he dropped a bit before quickly rising which surprised Tala. Cyan eyes opened wide and he looked down at the knife that was now protruding from the right side of his bosom right above the lung. He gasped silently in pain and stepped back from Lee kneeling on the ground. Lee looked at him and walked over. Reaching out he pulled the knife out of Tala and stared down at the fallen Demolition Boy.
"Never thought I'd see you on your knees in front of me." Sneered Lee, kneeling down to Tala's height. "I had hoped Rei would have been here to see you like this. Not able to protect him." Said Lee. Tala's eyes flashed with anger. Gathering the little strength he had he punched Lee in the face watching him fly back. Picking him self up he quickly grabbed the knife and brought it to Lee's heart. Watching the golden eyes widen in pain and surprise he was quickly reminded of Rei's golden orbs. Losing his strength he plummeted to the ground watching the blood pour around Lee's still body next to him.
Lying on the cold ground he turned his eyes up to the stars and moon. He could still see them from where he lay, but they where slowly losing their brightness to him. He closed his eyes in pain. Slowly he brought a pale hand to his neck feeling for the thin silver chain that hung around his neck. Finding it after a minute he pulled it, breaking it from his neck. Bringing it up in front of his face, he smiled slightly at it. Dangling in a gold cased locket was Driger; a sign of Rei's love to Tala. He remembered when Rei gave him Driger to hold and protect. He told Rei he couldn't accept it, but Rei said he could. Tala then gave Rei Wolborg. He smiled at the memory of the look of Rei's face. Unable to hold his hand up anymore, it came to rest on his stomach. Closing his eyeshe waited for death's cold hand.
He was greeted by a hand but it wasn't cold. Opening his eyes he met crimson ones. Mind racing trying to remember the name his eyes saw the two toned hair.
"Kai." Tala said weakly. Kai nodded and gathered Tala in his arms so that Tala could see Rei who was next to Kai. Tala saw Rei there.
"I thought you were supposed to stay in the hospital." Questioned Tala. Rei smiled at Tala's protectiveness even in death.
"I wasn't going to leave you alone out here." Rei said eyes flashing to Lee's limp form. His face filled with sorrow, but he turned back to Tala. In the distance sirens could be heard, as well as the red, blue and white lights flashed in the distance. No doubt searching for their missing patient.
"I guess they finally realized that you weren't in the room Rei." Said Kai looking back at his car, which was now being checked by officers. Shouts could be heard as officers and paramedics rushed down to their sides.
Two officers grabbed Kai, hauling him back and handcuffing for the so called 'kidnapping' of Rei. A paramedic was at Rei's side checking him for further injuries. Four were now around Tala's limp form checking for signs of life while a few paramedics and officers where at Lee's dead body. After a few minutes of chaos, Rei was escorted to an ambulance while Tala was placed in another. Kai unfortunately was placed in the comfort of the back of a police car, hoping to sort everything out at the station. Their deeds were done, and now the consequences had to be paid. They were all in a mix and the hope of losing each other was great.
