The snow had fallen pretty hard and was now ankle deep. A long white scarf flew behind the blader in the wind. His crimson eyes on the floor as he walked down the white path. The bladers movements stopped, he lifted his head up and let out a sigh. "What's wrong with me? Why did I lash out at Mr. Dickenson?" Crimson eyes looked above him. "I better be getting back, Rei will be worried." Kai smiled slightly, "Isn't he always?" Kai turned round and headed back to the hotel.
Kai felt the warmth as he entered the main door; he ran straight up the stairs and headed for their room but stopped when the blonde blader jumped out in front of him.
"Kai? Where have you been?" Blue eyes met crimson. Kai had a puzzled look on his face; he opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted. "Kai wait! I need to talk to you..." Max looked around and spotted Tyson, "...in private." Kai nodded and silently lead the way into his room. The phoenix looked around the room in search of his kitten. Kai put his eyes back on the smaller boy.
"Erm...where is Rei? He's normally sat on the bed reading or something." Kai tried to sugar coat the fact he and Rei were together. He kept his eyes on Max.
"That's what I need to talk to you about." Kai had fear in his eyes. "Kai, I know about you and Rei, I found out this morning," Kai opened his mouth to speak but didn't say anything. "No don't speak just listen!" Kai did as he was told and sat down at the bottom of the bed. "Ok, I watched you as you walked in the room earlier, I could so tell, Rei knows that I know anyway..."
"Get on with it! I don't want your life story!" Kai started to lose patience again, but tried to keep his hands to himself.
"Sorry, after you ran out of the room earlier, Rei followed. He seemed pretty worried too, and we haven't seen him since. So may I ask, what's going on?" Max's usual hyperactive gleam in his eyes was now gone, he was worried for his teammate.
Kai stood up and walked towards the balcony and remembered their conversation earlier that morning. He quickly spun round, and looked straight at Max with fear written all over him.
"I know where he is! But..." Kai paused as he stared at the curious teenager, he sighed, "you can't come with me. Firstly it's too dangerous and secondly...it's too dangerous! You get my point?" Max nodded.
"I guess he went to the Abbey, huh? Ok you can go on your own but...how can I contact you? I mean I need to know if your ok don't I?" Kai reached into his pocket and pulled out a cell phone and handed it to the young blader.
Kai headed for the door, "I'll phone you when I get there, it will come up 'Princess' don't answer it otherwise ok? Make sure you answer it away from the rest of the guys, Tyson will probably want to call for a pizza or something." Max nodded with a smile. Kai smiled and winked at the teen and left the room with a run.

Double doors stopped the two teenagers in their path. The female teen walked up to the door, and pushed gently, the door swung open. She smiled at Rei and entered.
Rei closed the door behind him as they entered a dimly lit hallway; Ivanava had already started walking again.
"Where are we? Am I anywhere near Kai?" Rei ran to catch up with her. She shook her head slightly; her face had no expression her eyes straightforward. "Can you tell me where he is?" She turned her head to look at him, midnight blue fixated on amber.
"Of course I can, he is where you left him." Rei looked puzzled when she answered his question. "The guards already know you are here, fortunately Boris doesn't. Demitri will cover for us, in the mean time keep a low profile." She faced forward again. The Chinese blader nodded.

Fingers tapped impatiently on the polished mahogany desk. The room was lit brighter than the corridors but still dim. The room was silent when the tapping stopped. "What do you mean there is an intruder?" A deep voice was calm, "Who is this intruder...what do you mean you don't know?" It seemed the owner of the room was on the phone and was getting frustrated, "Well catch whoever it is and bring them to me! GOT THAT?" The phone slammed down. Fingers tapped on the desk again. Gray eyes narrowed, as he heard a knock on the large wooden doors that lead into the room.
The deep voice calm again "enter!" with that a tall, dark haired guard entered the room and stood at attention in front of the desk. "Well...?"
"Sir, it seems that the young lady is bringing the intruder further into the Abbey." The older male frowned at the information. "Do you just want the intruder or do you want both, sir?" The guard stood awaiting orders.
"Just the intruder. I would like a private word with him." The older man smirked. The guard looked confused.
"Permission to speak, sir?" He gave a slight nod to the request, "Erm, excuse me for asking but how do you know the intruder is male, sir?"
"I've got a hunch. You are dismissed." With that the guard bowed his head and left the room.
'Good girl, I'll 'reward' you later. But I'll deal with the 'intruder' first.' He smiled at his own thoughts; he leaned back in his chair. The phone rang beside him. A pale hand picked it up.
"Hello? Ah Lord Hiwatari. No I haven't forgotten your arrival tonight, yes the guests are aware of your arrival an will be here shortly, no sir they are not, I will keep Ivanava out of the wa...excuse me sir? Yes sir I will make sure she attends. Yes sir. See you soon. Bye sir." The phone was placed back down. Boris smiled "Looks like your 'reward' will be sooner than I thought." He picked up the photograph of Ivanava on his desk, and leaned back in his chair. His index finger ran down the photo, following the pose she was stood in, a smile crept over his face; his gray eyes gleamed.
