A/N:: _ umm....okay, I'm glad to see people like this fic. Yes, the spider had a short life all for coming into Kai's room that night. I didn't really base Kyu off of Rei, really, but I guess he does act a little like him. I'm happy to see people like the little guy. He does appear in my fic, 'Past Comes to Haunt'... so if ya want, you can read that one too. But for now, you go ahead and read this one. Have fun ^^
"Through Eyes of Scarlet and Gold"
In a fit of groans, Kai let out a scream, and opened his eyes, making him fly up from the bed he was laying on. His breaths were coming in sharply, and he felt the cold sweat dripping down his face. He took in a breath, as he glanced around the room, seeing he was still in his room. Then he felt himself gasp. Kyu. He turned, hoping he would see the small neko lying in the bed next to him, still alive. As his eyes looked over, he found the pair of gold eyes wide open, looking at the slate haired boy in confusion. With a soft sigh, Kai dismissed himself from the bed, and headed to the bathroom to wash the sweat from his face.
The silver haired boy watched him leave, his eyes seeming filled with concern. The look on the boy's face seemed troubled about something, and the way he looked at him...it seemed the nightmare he just had must have had something to do with him. His soft gold eyes half closed, as he laid himself back on the bed, letting himself stare out of the window at the new moon outside. Since it was black, it would seemed impossible that anyone to see, but since he was usually a cat most of his life, his eyes were better at seeing in the dark.
In the bathroom, the slate haired boy was washing his face off, reflecting the dream that he had just had. He was in the Abbey back in Moscow, and he was laying on the ground, his arms and legs covered in dry blood and bruises. Boris was standing over him, holding a whip in his hands, and his grandfather, Volitare was across the room, looking at Kai with a mocking face. The boy was on the brink of screaming, as the whip was thrown at him a couple more times, but he held them back with all the strength he had left. He suddenly felt a scolding heat running through his back, and he knew that his back had been cut open with all the times the whip had been thrown at him. He couldn't hold the pain in any longer, as he heard soft whimpers coming from his mouth, even though he knew that nothing would be able to help him.
Volitare said something in Russian to Boris, and before Kai realized what was going on, the red eyed man was holding a boy around the neck that he recognized in an instant. It was Kyu, and his gold eyes were wide with fear. The slate haired boy was able to lift his upper body off the floor, but his legs refused to move, and he held his arms, and glared at his grandfather, and yelled at them in Russian to let the neko go. They gave him a evil grin, and then, Boris pulled a small brown glassy object, and then, a blade appeared on the end of it, as he held it to the boy's neck. That's when Kai could actually hear them speaking.
"It's quite simple, Kai. Just offer yourself to the bit beast, Black Dranzer, and we'll spare your dear little kitten."
"...Kai..." The soft whimper came from the cat's mouth.
Before Kai could give his answer, the gold eyed boy gripped Boris' hand with his claws, letting blood drip from where he clawed him. The Russian growled in pain, and pushed the boy away, and threw a hard swipe with the hand holding the knife, slashing the boy in the chest, causing his eyes to go wide. Kai's strength returned to him in that split second, as he ran over, catching Kyu in his arms, looking down to see the wound on his body. The blood was falling rapidly, and his breath was coming in heavily. The slate haired boy laid a hand on the scarred cheek, feeling the skin was going cold. The two gold orbs, that seemed a dead gold now opened up, getting a blurry image of the boy above him. In the zone of silence, Kyu began to mouth sometime that the scarlet eyed boy couldn't hear, then he saw his gold eyes close, after a soft breath escaped him.
Kai felt everything freeze, as the smaller form in his arms went limp in his strong arms. His scarlet eyes seemed to lose all emotion as he turned sharply, as he glared into the eyes of Boris and Volitare. He laid the still form on the ground, and rushed forward, leering into the two pairs of eyes. He ripped the knife that still had fresh blood dripping from it away from Boris, and brought it forward, cutting deeply into the man's chest, ripping a hole into his heart. He tore the knife out, letting Boris' dead body drop, as he turned to face Volitare. Before his grandfather could react, Kai threw the knife his way, and it cut deeply into the older man's chest, making him fall to the ground, not moving. The slate haired boy turned away from the mess of blood, and lifted the body of the cat into his arms, and as he began to leave the abbey, Kyu's body shrunk back down into the form of a cat, causing him to watch with a blank look.
Kai gently shook his head, since that was the part where he woke up. Kai grabbed a towel, and laid it on his face, drying the water. Suddenly, a scent of bacon and other things he couldn't grasp filled his nose. He laid the towel on the side of the bath tub, and headed out of the bathroom, and glanced over at the clock. It was nearly 8:10 in the morning. How long had he been in the bathroom? He gently shook his head, and turned the light off, and headed for the kitchen, only to find himself blinking at what he saw. The table had a variety of food covering it. There was bacon, sausage, mild cheese, toast, pancakes, french toast, syrup, and a couple other things. He then heard someone clearing their throat, causing him to turn to see two golden orbs looking at him. A kittish smile appeared on the boy's lips, as he waved lightly to Kai.
"Good morning." Kyu greeted.
"...Good morning..." He glanced over at the table, "Did you make all this?"
"Uh huh. I was getting a bit hungry, and I thought you would be too, so I made a few things that I found in the fridge and freezer..." Kyu froze in his voice, "Um...did you not want me to?"
Kai laid a hand on the boy's head, "It's alright, I was getting hungry anyways. Let's see if you did a good job."
With a soft nod from the cat, the two of them headed off to the table, and seated themselves down. Kai took a plate from the pile that was on the table, and laid it in front of him, and began to gather some of the food that had been cooked by the silver haired boy himself. After a while, he had a couple pancakes, sausage, bacon, a few pieces of toast, and some cheese. His growling stomach declared that he would eat, so he began to chew into the bacon, letting himself savor the taste. It was actually very tender, but it was good. After a bit, he got through his sausage, his toast, and then managed to eat the cheese in front of him. Then, he began to eat the pancakes, which he found were strawberry. He poured some of the syrup on them, and took a huge bite, and found they were delicious. He didn't expect a boy so young could cook. He glanced over at the table to see the young boy had already finished his plate, and was in the process of eating a piece of bacon.
The scarlet eyed boy lifted himself from the table, and headed over to the sink to put his dishes in there. As he started to turn the water on, he was stuck in one of the pieces of his dream where he saw the blood dripping from Kyu's chest, as he lay in his arms, slowly dying. He laid his head into his palm, trying to get his mind off of his dream. From the table, the cat felt his black cat ears twitch, as he saw Kai looking extremely pale. He laid the dish he was just about to put away, and made his way over, laying a hand on the older boy's shoulder. Without thinking, the slate haired boy threw his arm back, slapping the hand of the cat, making him back away, clutching his injury. The Russian boy felt his eyes widen at what he had just done, and made a break for the door, and headed upstairs to go on the roof.
Kai ignored the icy winds that blew everywhere outside, and ran across the roof, until he came from the gate that surrounded the edge, and laid his trembling hands onto it, taking in a few breaths. He had just hit the young boy, and he didn't even look at the boy's face to see if he was hurt or not. He collasped to his knees, his hands still on the gate, as his eyes closed in shame. From the door Kai had just run out of, the gold eyed boy stood by the door way, a jacket drapped over his shoulders. In one of his arms, there was a deep red jacket with blending orange and yellow embedded in it, to give it a flame look. The younger boy walked over, and laid it over the slate haired boy, making his eyes open suddenly, and turn to see the cat looking at him, one of his clawed hands laid on his shoulder.
"It's getting cold out here, Kai...I thought you would need a jacket..."
Kai looked into the golden orbs with his broken scarlet. "...Thank you."
The younger boy sat next to the boy, keeping his clawed hand on his shoulder. "Kai...is something wrong? You seemed a bit...pale and lost about something..."
"..." Kai suddenly began to mumble, but Kyu could somehow still hear him, "It hurt...it hurt to see that happen to you...I did't know what else to do..."
Kyu felt his eyes go soft, as he brought one of his arms around the scarlet eyed boy. Before the two of them knew it, Kai had his head buried into the boy's shoulder, rare tears falling from his face, while Kyu had his arms around him, gently stroking his hair. But, the silver haired boy was still as confused as before. He didn't understand what had happened to leave the teenager in tears, and saying something that happened to him was hurting him. For now, he didn't want the broken boy in his arms to be hurt any worse, so he kept his mouth closed, and kept his mind on getting Kai to stop crying. After Kai felt his eyes open, they widened a bit to see where he was. His head was laying in Kyu's shoulder, and his arms were around the neko's waist. He almost had the sense to throw himself off, when he noticed the younger had one arm around his back, and one stroking his hair. For some reason...what was happening felt right, so he relaxed back into the boy's shoulder, closing his still broken red eyes.
A/N:: Holy cow! That was a sweet moment. I hope you all enjoyed that, cause I sure did, except seeing Kai cry, that was sad. r/r please ^^
