Sorry it took me so long to get this posted (stupid school taking up most of my time grrrr) anyway on with the story

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

It was a cold moonlit night as the crimson-eyed boy collapsed on his bed in his cold room darkness engulfing him. It had been a hard day, after his grandfather had done what he called disciplining, he had been trying ever since, no food, no water, no breaks; this one was the first. Sighing Kai closed his eyes trying to block out the pain in his aching limbs as thoughts of the raven-haired boy he had been taken from flooded his mind.

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

That same night back at Hoqwarts Rei lay in his bed, his and Kais bed, staring at the moon teary eyed, they had looked for Kai all day and he had at night but there was no sign of him, nothing. Rei sighed, it was 12 in the morning, and he had been up all night staring out through the window at the moon hoping that Kai would soon appear even if he did not have a good reason for worrying him to death.

Rei shook his head slightly feeling him self falling to sleep, he wanted to stay up, he wanted Kai and now he was determined not to go to sleep until he knew where his lover was. However, Rei soon found himself fading into the darkness of sleep.

"Comeon Maxie!! Hurry up im hungry" came Tyson who was already heading down the spiral staircase that lead from the boys dorm to the Griffindor common room, "coming Tyson just hang on I minute I mean there's no real hurry its never ending food after all" Max called. Kenny and Hilary laughed as the followed Max to where Tyson was now waiting impatiently.

"Do you think Rei's already down there or still sleeping?" Hilary asked as they all filed out of the portrait hole, Kenny shrugged "honestly I wouldn't have a clue" he said, "well we wont know until we get there so lets get going why don't we" came Tyson's opinion from the front of the group. "Alright Tyson we're coming, jeez just because you want to go and stuff your face doesn't mean you have to wake us up at the crack of dawn to do so" Hilary said as she and Kenny followed Max and Tyson at a more slower pace.

When the arrived at the Great Hall it was mostly deserted beside a few of the older students and other early risers but there was no sign of Rei. It was only Kenny and Max who noticed, Tyson was to busy eating and Hilary was busy telling him off for his lack of manners. It wasn't until Tyson noticed Tala, Bryan and Spencer walk in from the other end of the hall did he remember what happened yesterday, "Rei must be still asleep" Tyson said after looking up and down the Griffindor table.

"Some ones quick" Hilary whispered to Kenny who like Max just shook his head, "what?" Tyson asked looking from Kenny to Max who just laughed, "nothing don't worry" he said and Tyson continued to eat still glaring in the direction of Tala and the others at the Slytherin table so was Kenny. "You know I don't even think Tala and Bryan even looked for Kai at all yesterday" Tyson said looking up from his food to look at the others,.

"Actually Tyson they did, they ran out after Rei did remember" Hilary said, Max nodded but Kenny kept watching Tala and Bryan whispering at the Slytherin table. "I'm sure they know something we don't, I mean it would explain why they came back so quick after Kai ran out and why they attend all their classes" Kenny said finally looking away from the Slytherin table and looking up at Hilary.

Hilary nodded in agreement looking over at the two at the Slytherin table seeing the logic in Kenny's accusation Tyson however didn't seem to understand if they knew why didn't they tell Rei. Max soon understood what Kenny was talking about and told Tyson just to believe that they wouldn't tell Rei instead trying to explain things he didn't fully understand. "Well then lets go ask them what they know then" Tyson said standing up only to see that Tala and Bryan were gone and the hall was beginning to empty.
