~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kai limped up to the door; he was almost apprehensive about going in till Tyson ran past him and bowled through the door.
"WE'RE BACK!" he yelled as he tumbled into the house.
Kai had seen stampedes on T.V before, but he never expected that he would see one before his own eyes, but that was exactly what was happening right now. Everyone had heard Tyson yelling and had come running to see them.
Kai stood in shock as so many faces poured into his vision, hello's, how you doing's and great to see you's came from all directions. He didn't think this would ever happen. Then somebody picked him up.
"Not again!" he thought. This time though it was a grinning Steve that had plucked him from the ground.
"LET ME DOWN!" roared Kai.
"No way! I've got instructions from Judy to make sure you make it to the couch in one piece! Hey! Quit squirming will ya!"
Kai's attempt was only half hearted though; he didn't have the energy to really try. He struggled the whole way to the couch though, and glared at Steve as he put him down.
"Sorry man" said Steve, "I gotta follow orders!"
Kai sitting down only made it easier to let others hang around him. They lounged around the chairs and the floor, chatting to each other and to Kai. Kai then noticed who it was that had sat down on either side of him. He inwardly cringed to see both Hilary and Emily sitting beside him. Both of them acted weird around him, and he didn't like the reason that his brain came up with as to why they did.
"Can we please eat now?!" begged Tyson, his grumbling stomach made its presence loudly known.
Even Hilary laughed at Tyson's embarrassed face, "Sure, go ahead" she said good naturedly.
Both girls turned round to Kai.
"Do you want something to eat Kai?" asked Hilary in a sickly sweet voice.
"How about a drink?" asked Emily just as sickeningly.
"...." Kai hadn't even managed a word before both girls jumped up, glared at each other, and then headed for the kitchen.
Kai raked his hair with his hand and sighed. He looked up when Ray sat next to him.
"I saw you with Hil and Emily, having fun?" he asked impishly.
"No" Kai scowled, "they are driving me nuts, and I only just got here. Actually, everything's driving me nuts!" he took a deep breath, "I see Mariah missed you."
Ray looked away, blushing.
"I saw you, you seemed very cosy with her sitting on your lap, and you grinned like a cat that got the cream when she kissed you on the cheek."
"Yeah, well, I guess."
"I'm happy for you Ray, you guys have liked each other a long time, it's so obvious."
"Nothings really set yet Kai."
"But it will be, right?"
Ray grinned more, "yeah! There she is, I'll speak to you later!"
Kai watched his friend walk over to Mariah. He thought of Tori, and wondered what would be between them now. The thought was broken as two people slumped down either side of him. A plate and a glass were pressed under his face.
"Here you go!" came two voices at once.
"Uh, I've got to speak to someone, see you later!" said Kai quickly as he pushed himself up, cringing at the twinges of pain involved in his quick escape. He didn't look back to see the disappointed faces as he limped away. He smiled slightly as he heard Tyson ranting to Kenny about how he had caught his dad and Samantha snogging outside, oh the betrayal, oh the pain. It was soon forgotten as he was reminded of the cake that was still in the kitchen.
He got outside and breathed a sigh of relief. Fresh air always felt good when Kai needed to escape things, physical or emotional. He glanced at the sky; it was nearly time for sunset. He had to see it.
He walked around the house, looking for a way up to the roof. He found a drainpipe. He climbed up slowly to prevent as much pain as was possible. He sat on one of the lower roofs and watched the sky as she began her chameleon dance. Colours ignited and faded, finally making way for the soulful dark blue that blanketed the sky at night. He watched as stars winked into visible existence, and as the moon climbed higher, brightening as it went. The sun set to sleep, and slowly Kai did too.
He woke with a start as he heard his name. He shook his head in the cool air to try and clear it, regretting it as his head throbbed dully. He got up and looked down to see all the people at the party looking and calling for him. He slid down the drainpipe and landed softly on his good leg.
"I'm here" he said as he walked out from the shadow.
"Geez Kai! Give me a heart attack why don't ya! We found him!" said Michael.
"Yes, we have all been wondering where it was you had hidden yourself" added Robert.
"I was just getting some air, why the search party?"
Michael grinned in the moonlight. "The adults are a little merry at the moment and I've decided to liven up the party! Come with us, everyone else is ready!"
Kai followed as Michael continued talking.
"Now that the adults are occupied, we won't be disturbed!"
They walked into the lounge where everyone had now gathered and had sat themselves down on the floor and the chairs. Hilary patted the place left on the sofa next to her, the only place left on the sofa. Kai took a deep breath and sat down next to her.
"Right ladies and gentleman! I give you..................a drinking contest!" with a flourish, Michael pulled out three large bottles of vodka and three of red wine from a bag.
The red wine is for those who can't handle a lot of drink, the vodka is for the hard core people here, though I doubt that's many!"
The game took off with people drinking the red wine. Hilary, Emily, Oliver, Enrique, Kevin, Kenny, Gary, and Eddy took turns in swigging mouthfuls from the bottles until only Hilary and Emily were left able to drink, but it was more of a competition between them as they glared at each other with unfocused eyes. Everyone else cheered as they both fell backwards and groaned.
"Now it's our turn! The last lot had Kevin as their loser and a draw between the girls! Lets see who loses and wins this round!" said Michael. Then he took a mouthful of the vodka and coughed as he swallowed. Everyone laughed as he looked at them with tears in his eyes. He passed the bottle on to Max who coughed the mouthful back up and cringed. The bottle made its way round to Lee, Steve, Robert, Mariah, Johnny, Tyson and Ray. The bottle landed in Kai's hands.
"You shouldn't Kai, your on medication." Warned Ray.
Kai grinned, "I'm not taking any medication" and with that took a large swig from the bottle, enjoying the familiar burning sensation in his throat.
"You didn't strike me as the type to drink Kai! You're far too responsible!" teased Michael.
"You forget, I was raised in Russia. The abbey was a very good place to store illegal alcohol, and vodka was a particular favourite. This ones quite weak in comparison."
Everyone still awake watched as Kai handed the bottle back to Michael.
"I believe it's your turn again?"
They cheered as Michael took another swig, a challenge at Kai obvious in his eyes. It wasn't long before Lee, Mariah, Ray, Max, Robert, and Tyson had given up. Tyson's retching was heard clearly from the direction of the bathroom. He had drunk more then he knew.
A couple more shots later, and Johnny finally caved in, even after his boasting of his consumption of Scottish spirits, this was more then he could handle. Michael swayed where he sat, his face red from the alcohol. He took one more swig before falling backwards and belching loudly. He lay there snoring. Kai picked up the bottle and downed what was left; it was a waste of alcohol if it wasn't drunk after being opened.
Max looked at Kai through crossed eyes. "How'd you manage that Kai?"
Kai smirked, "I've been drinking vodka since I went to the abbey at five years old. I've had drinking competitions with the Demolition Boys and I've just grown used to it. I'm better at hiding the effects of the alcohol as well."
Max blinked at him then started giggling. He rolled on the floor till he groaned and held his head in his hands.
"Remind me never to do that again!" he mumbled.
Ray staggered through the door, "Tyson's in bed now, snoring worse then ever!"
He collapsed in a heap as Mariah leaped on him and pinned him to the ground. Kai got up and walked outside, leaving the couple to drunkenly kiss on the floor.
He sat himself against a wall; at least the alcohol numbed all the pain but the throbbing in his head. With that he fell into a deep sleep.
