A.N: Well...since you wanted it I'm going to continue this! Now I'm warning you all the updates are going to be slower because one I'm going to take my time on these next few chapters, 2 I'm working on other stuff (for all wolf's rain fans check my profile to see upcoming stories) and 3 I'm going back to my home in Miami so I'll be packing a lot for a few days and my computer down there isn't the most reliable one so don't expect updates everyday like they've been happening. Sorry guys but that's life. I appreciate all your reviews and suggestions! Keep em coming! Anyway I'll shut up now and continue the story! If you have any questions let me know. Oh and to those people who complained about the relationship between Ray and Kai...I put a warning sign before each chapter so you know it's there and no I'm not revising it to a non shounen-ai so sorry but read the author notes next time.

Disclaimer: Not mine! :p

On with the fic!

Tears of a Tortured Soul

Chapter 5

It was the morning after Kai's breakdown, which turned out to be the happiest moment of his life. He'd finally let go of all his pain and in that he gained the love of the one person he felt he could truly show his real self too. Kai was relieved that he'd finally told someone about his past, now he was just worried about fixing it.

'Voltaire won't come down easy...there's got to be a way to expose his secret to the world...to let everyone know what he and Boris are up to. If we don't do something soon who knows what he'll do to Tala and the others. I hate to admit it...but they are my friends...they were in the abbey when I was young and they still are...no matter how brainwashed they are.' Kai lay on his bed thinking about his plan to bring down Voltaire. He and Ray woke up hours ago and they were now waiting for Tyson and the rest of the team to get ready.

"Kai?" Ray said walking out of the bathroom. His hair was damp from the shower he'd just taken and hung loosely in his face. Kai looked up from where he was laying on the bed.

"Hey." He said. Ray smiled and walked over to sit down on the edge of the bed.

"What are you thinking?" the raven-haired boy asked. Kai just sighed and leaned back on the bed again.

"I don't know how...but we need to find a way to expose Voltaire's plan of using the bit beasts to control the world. And what he's been doing to train the Demolition Boys." Ray nodded.

"You're right. But how on earth would we do it?" Kai shrugged.

"Like I said I have no idea." Ray sighed. It was going to be hard to expose Boris's plan but that wasn't going to stop them from trying. But Ray also had another problem on his hands and that was telling the rest of the team about his relationship with Kai.

'We really need to get this thing with Boris under way...but I really want the rest of the team to know about me and Kai. Kai's never really been open with anyone before except me so he might not want to open up to the team just yet. I really wish he would...it would help us out so much but I won't force him to do something he doesn't want to do...no matter how much it would help him.' Ray stared at his love wishing he could help him open up more.

'I should just come right out and tell him. It can't hurt.'

"Kai." The bluenett turned to his boyfriend.

"I think...I mean if you don't want to I understand but..." Kai cut him off.

"You want to tell the team about our relationship and about what I told you last night?" Ray was surprised but he nodded his reply.

"If you don't want to..." he drifted off not really knowing what to say. He herd Kai sigh and saw him sit down on the bed.

"Ok." He stated.

Ray's eyes widened. He really didn't expect Kai to agree to any of this. It seemed so unlike Kai...

'Maybe he really is trying to change...not just for me but for the team to.' Ray smiled to himself.

Later that morning the team had all met down in the lobby area for breakfast. Tyson had already made three trips to the breakfast buffet when the rest of the team came down. Ray kept glancing over at Kai who remained silent throughout the whole meal. Then when the meal was finished Kai looked over at Ray returned the glace.

'Now or never...' Kai thought. Ray nodded reading Kai's glance.

"You guys..." Ray started. Tyson and Max both stopped in mid-conversation and looked up at Ray. Even Kenny looked up from Dizzi. Ray took a deep breath.

"You see...Kai and I...we're....a couple..." Ray's breath was caught in his throat in fear of their reaction. After a few seconds of silence Tyson broke out in a wide grin.

"That's great you guys!" he exclaimed. Ray could feel his jaw drop as he saw Max and Kenny smile in approval as well.

"You guys are really ok with this?" Even Kai looked slightly shocked.

They nodded. "Yeah of course."

"Did you think we wouldn't approve?" asked Max. Ray just smiled.

"No...I never should of doubted you guys." Tyson grinned and leaned back in his chair.

"I just can't believe you're with the former mr. Sourpuss." The other's laughed and even Kai broke a small grin.

"I can be a sourpuss if you want Tyson." He said threateningly. Tyson gave a nervous laugh.

"Eh hehehehe...no." The rest of the morning was spent laughing and joking and congradulating the new couple. It was all laughs until Ray brought up the subject about Boris and the Demolition Boys. Kai drifted his gaze away from the group, Ray noticed and lay his hand over Kai's for a slight comfort. Kai turned back and looked into Ray's golden eyes. To Kai...his eyes said it all and he nodded. Ray knew what Kai wanted and began telling the team exactly what Kai had told him the previous night. After he had finished everyone sat in shock as they tried to absorb everything they had been told. Ray felt Kai squeeze his hand trying to block images that came to his mind when Ray told the story. After a few minutes of silence Tyson spoke up.

"I..I still can't...believe this...Kai...I...don't know what to say...that's horrible." Kai didn't respond he just continue to stare at the ground.

"We have to do something to stop Voltaire!" said Max. The others nodded.

"Yeah but how?" asked Ray.

"Maybe Mr. Dickinson would know?" said Kenny.

"Chief's right. Getting Mr. Dickinson involved would help us out a lot. You know he has major connections with the BBA." Max said.

"Ok then it's settled! We should head over now and tell him!" Tyson exclaimed.

"Yeah let's go!" Max shouted happily. It was settled and the team began to head out of the hotel to Mr. Dickinson's BBA office. Ray turned his head and saw Kai still hadn't moved from his seat. He walked back to his love and extended his hand to him. Kai looked up to meet a pair of golden eyes.

"You coming Kai?" Ray smiled still holding out his hand. Kai stared into his loves eyes for a minute before giving a small smile himself and taking Ray's extended hand. The pair walked out of the hotel together following behind their team.
