Chapter 5

Kai slowly walked over to the bedside table, before picking up the note and unfolding it. It was from Voltaire and he had Rei. Voltaire said that he should probably think about reconsidering his offer. Kai snarled and went to head back outside, but he ran into Tyson and the others. "Where are you going in such a shitty mood?" Tyson asked, staring at Kai and noticing the note in his hand. "Out. Training is cancelled," Kai said, going to leave once more. Tyson quickly grabbed Voltaire's note, running to the far side of the room like the coward he was before reading it. He showed it to Max and Kenny as he came back.

They both look up at Kai, shocked. "What offer?" Kenny asked, looking both concerned and curious at the same time. "Its none of your business" Kai said simply and went to leave. 'Stuff wasting time getting the note back,' he thought. However, Tyson quickly moved, blocking the exit. "What do you mean its none of our business?!" Tyson yelled, clearly not in a good mood. "Oh wait, I get it," Tyson continued putting, on a voice of realisation. "You probably didn't want anything to ruin your fun with Rei," he concluded, glaring at Kai.

Kai glared back at him, but in less then a second he had punched Tyson square in the eye and now stood towering over him. "I didn't think Voltaire would do this," he snarled, before running out of the room. Max stood up, looking at Kenny, before running after Kai eager for an explanation. Kenny watched Max ran after Kai as he helped up a now fuming Tyson and before long they were running off after the other two.

Max was out of breath by the time he reached the hotel grounds. He was just in time to see Kai jump onto the top of the wall. Lucky for him Tyson must have said something that got to Kai, because he stopped and sat down on the wall top in the shade of an overhanging tree. However, when he started to slowly make his way over to the outer wall Max realised that there was no way he was going to be able to climb that wall. He was quite amazed that he saw Kai actually jump up there.

Figuring that there was nothing he could do and anything he did say could send Kai off and running again, Max sat down on the ground a few meters away from the base of the wall. He waited for the arrival of Kenny and Tyson. Kenny was the first to arrive, and Tyson came a few minutes after him, walking at a slower pace. Tyson was still really pissed off at Kai though. When he saw Max sitting on the ground, he asked where Kai was. Max just pointed upwards with his finger and Tyson started looking at the sky. "Ah I think he meant the wall," Kenny said, pointing out Kai, who was now lying down on top of the wall under an overhanging tree.

Tyson approached the wall before yelling up at Kai for being both selfish and for punching him in the face. Max soon silenced him, calling him over to sit on the ground. "Its not my fault," Kai said, more to himself than the others. He preferred to ignore their presence, but wasn't able to. No sooner had the words left his mouth, Kenny was already asking questions and making statements. "You know you could have at least told us," Kenny stated. He was once again told that it was none of his business. This set Tyson off yelling again, though Kai mostly ignored him. The only words he picked up were 'Rei's not just your boyfriend, but our team-mates as well,' unfortunately for Kai, Kenny and Max also agreed.

Kai didn't say anything, he didn't want to give Tyson the satisfaction of knowing that what he had said had actually gotten to him. Instead he thought about just leaving; after all, they would never be able to catch up with him once he was off this wall. However, he couldn't bring himself to do it for some unknown reason. He wished now that he had left the god- forsaken hotel before Tyson and Kenny had arrived. They had him thinking now. Thinking, that is, of whether maybe, just maybe, he should have told them and maybe it was his fault. Kai shook those thoughts from his head; thoughts like that weren't going to help him get Rei back.

In the end, Kai decided that it would have been little use for him to tell them. If he couldn't have done anything to prevent this, then what the hell would have they been able to do? "Kai, if we're going to get Rei back we're going to need a plan," Kenny said, interrupting his thoughts once more. "I don't need your help," Kai growled back, still not even looking at them.

Kenny ignored his attitude and suggested calling the police; this got Kai's attention. He quickly sat up, glaring long and hard at Kenny. "No," he said firmly. Tyson and Max looked at each other, not understanding why Kai didn't want the police involved. "Don't you want Rei back?" Tyson asked, still confused. He began to regret it as he watched Kai jump off the wall and walk towards him.
