Chapter Two

They stood there for a few moments, before the man desired to break this "touchy" meeting. He scanned the boys sitting on the sofa, and then started to give orders in a voice that could terminate no arguments.

"Ivan and Sergei! You will continue you training schedule like you are suppose to. Bryan! You will show Kai a way to his new room, since it is the closest to yours. Afterwards, I want you and Yuri to decide with one of you will give Kai a small tour of the Abbey!" then he added sarcastically, "I think I am right to say that Kai might have forgotten this place at all." He gave Kai a piercing look, then glared at Bryan and Yuri, and left without another word.

Kai was left standing alone, in front of the Demolition Boys.

Great! I am going to be stuck with Bryan , having a room close to him. He doesn't seem to be so happy to see me, is he? And Boris, knows it, the big bastard! Chert ego poberi! (1)

Ivan and Sergei looked at each other, then both stood up, and disappeared into the dark doorway on the different side of the room, Sergei's giant figure shadowing tiny Ivan.

Even better. Now, is that bastard Bryan going to bother to show me where the hell my room is?

Uncomfortable silence crept over the room. Finally Yuri stood up, gave Kai a slightly visible wink, then turned around whispering something to Bryan. After that, he too disappeared into the dark doorway.

Kai was left alone, face to face with Bryan. The lavender-haired boy continued to look at him with his cold, purple gaze.

Okay. Is this some sort of staring game? If it is, he is winning!

Kai tried to understand what the other boy was thinking, but his face was emotionless, and didn't tell Kai anything. And he didn't know Bryan enough to even try to guess.

This is starting to get really boring.

The silence was very uncomfortable, but the lavender-haired teen didn't seem to mind. So Kai decided to ignore it too. After what seemed to be hours, Bryan got of the sofa, and slowly walked to the door. A few steps away from it he stopped, and without turning his head, said coolly "Follow me."

Finally!

Bryan waked fast through endless cold, stone corridors of the Abbey. Kai followed him, trying to remember, where they were going. But that proved impossible, since all of the corridors looked alike to him, so the boy just gave up, and followed the teen in front of him. He wondered how Bryan knew where everything was located here.

I wouldn't be surprised if Bryan just wants me to get lost in here, and then leave me to starve. Or just simply kill me in some dark corner. I wouldn't put that past him. Espesially remembering his match with Rei.....................

After a few more minutes of walking, Bryan suddenly decided to speak.

"So, you are back, Hiwatari."

Kai was so surprised by the other boy's sudden comment, so it took him a second to even realize what he had said.

"Yeah. You got a problem with that?"

"No, it's just funny how a traitor will always stay a traitor, no matter what team he is on."

That's weird. This is probably more words that he said total last year!

"What the hell do you mean, Bryan?"

What does he mean? Something evil, no doubt.

"I'm just remembering the list of the teams you have been on. That's all"

He has a point. I was on too many teams. And I became a traitor for each one.

Didn't I?

That horrible realization struck Kai. His face became stone cold, and he walked without even seeing where he was going. Bryan was right...............

"Here is your room."

Bryan stopped at the metal door, with 118 number shining on it. Kai, didn't hear him and continued walking.

"Your room is here, not on the other side of the Abbey. Is that were you are heading?"

Bryan clearly noticed the effect of his words on Kai, and seemed to be very pleased.

Not that it really showed. Bryan always kept all of his emotions to himself, except for anger. And now he was losing his patience with Kai, because the boy didn't seem to hear him.

Bryan slapped Kai, and the boy was brought back to the real world by the sudden pain. He looked at Bryan hatefully, and wiped the blood coming for his nose.

"Poshel te k cherty (2), Bryan......"

"Chto, bolino? Ya ne znal cho te takoi nejnei. Te chot-to zasnyl. Nado bilo razbyditi tebia. (4)" said Bryan in Russian. Kai was surprised to hear the boy speak that language. The only reason he sweared at the teen in Russian was because he thought the teen wouldn't understand. Bryan probably realized it, and decided to prove Kai wrong.

Satisfied by Kai's surprise, Bryan continued in English.

"Here is your room. There is no key to rooms here."

The lavender-haired blader decided that he said enough for the day and left without another word.

Go to hell Bryan. You might seem emotionless, but you are cruel, evil and very sarcastic. And, I hate to admit it, you are very smart.

With that thought on his mind, Kai pushed the metal door open.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(1) Chert ego poberi- Damn him!

(2) Poshel te k cherty- Go to hell!

(3) Chto, bolino? Ya ne znal cho te takoi nejnei. No te chot-to zasnyl. Nado bilo razbyditi tebia kak-to.-

What, it hurts? I didn't know you are so fragile. But you fell asleep. I needed to wake you up somehow.

Author's Note-

Yes, the boys speck actual Russian! Not from a book, not from a movie, but actual Russian. I speak it myself (not as a second, but as a native language!)

The only thing- I had real trouble trying to write out all the words with English letters, because some of the Russian sounds cannot be expressed in English.
