Tala came over and sat on the bed.
"You do know I came to talk to you." He started. Kai looked up, the picture still in his hands.
"I guessed that. I thought you'd remember that I didn't want to see you outside of a Beystadium ever again. Not after the last time." Kai hung his head, remembering the huge argument they had had.
"This is more important then the past, Kai." Tala said, lifting Kai's chin with a pale finger. "I have a feeling Voltaire is alive and well." Kai's eyes widened when he heard this.
"What makes you think that?"
"The black limo was outside the Abbey. I saw someone with lilac hair rounding the corner. And it wasn't Bryan."
*~*~*NEXT DAY*~*~*
Kai went down to breakfast before everyone, closely followed by Rei. He had decided not to say anything about last night's revelations about Voltaire. He'd kill Tala if he let slip. Tyson would get strung up about helping and Max would want to tag along because his best friend was. He didn't really have a problem with Rei knowing. He just didn't want him getting into any danger.
"Sleep well?" Rei asked as he entered the kitchen. Kai nodded. "Same here."
In the hour that passed the pair barley said a word to each other. Just as Rei was about to ask a question Max came into the room.
"Who was at the door last night?" He asked.
"Tala" Came Kai's dry reply.
"Hu? Tala? As in Demolition Boys Tala?" Kai nodded. "What did he want?"
"No idea." Kai said.
"Well, that isn't exactly true now, is it?" Tala said, from the kitchen door. The little group (except Kai) jumped upon hearing his voice unexpectedly. Max raced over and hugged Tala, happy to see him after the amount of time that had passed since the last tournament.
"Why are you here Tala? I never had a chance to ask you last night. You where too high on sugar, some other unknown substance." Rei said standing up and putting the cereal bowl he had been eating from in the sing.
"Just some interestingly disturbing news." Came the reply. This made Rei's ears prick up.
"Sounds good. Tell me, what sort of 'interestingly disturbing' new is it?"
"A kind that involves a certain member of our own 'lil Kai0ki's family." Tala said with a half amused half serious face. Kai scowled.
"Whatcha talkin' bout?" Tyson said as he entered the room, still in his pyjamas and rubbing sleep from his eyes.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Seriously running out of ideas for this story..... I had to introduce VOLTAIRE, that's how short on ideas I am!
Oh well. At least it's a chappie.
