Chapter 14
(Normal POV)
Kai, Rei, and Catty glanced over watching the scene. Kitsume was unconscious, floating on a thin piece of ice. Tala was staring off into space and Kitty was hiding behind him.
"What happened? Tala! Snap out of it!" Catty yelled at the wolf as his ice-blue eyes tore away from the ice field that held Kitsume there, barely alive. Tala stared at the frozen expression on Kitsume's face as his eyebrows knotted together, teeth clenched together, and his eyes starting to make it look like there were about to slit.
"Tala-sama?" Kitty nuzzled her head into the small of Tala's back and whimpered slightly.
"Aw how cute, you think you actually can protect her?" Boris snickered as Tala glared at him.
"Wolborg… watch Kitty." Tala said as his wolf emerged from his blade and appeared beside him.
"Yes, Master Tala." Wolborg kneeled down beside Kitty as she clung to his fur.
Catty watched Tala as he slowly walked towards Boris with a deathly glare set on him. Kai and Rei went to stop him when Catty stopped them.
"Catty…Why?" Rei started.
"Let him take care of himself Rei." Catty said calmly," He can do this on his own."
"But!-"
"She's right Rei." Kai said as he crossed his arms across his chest. Rei sighed and watched Tala as he made his way over to Boris.
"You know you'll never be able to protect anyone. Even your team has proven that. With every punishment, they would try and take the fall for you. Just so little Tala wouldn't get hurt." Boris mocked the wolf, his smirk never leaving his face. Tala stopped when he was just about 5ft in front of Boris.
"You're not going to hurt anymore people…" Tala barely whispered.
"Excuse me?" Boris prompted Tala to release his anger.
"You heard me bastard." Tala muttered, closing his eyes as ice began to gather around his hands.
"Now now, You wouldn't go and kill your own father would you?" Boris laughed when Tala's expression turned sour and bitter.
" You would even dare to compare yourself to me FATHER?! You aren't even the type to even give a shit about other people! You loved watching the children in the Abbey writhe in pain as you laughed and made up false promises. You would sit in front of the others and eat good filling breakfasts leaving us with nothing but stale old table scraps!!" Tala closed his eyes as the ice around his fists slowly surrounded his entire body, protecting him from anything that Boris would try and throw at him. "And besides, you need to die anyways…" Tala looked Boris in the eyes and pointed his finger at him.
"You abused the right to even enjoy the simple pleasures of life when you opened that damn forsakened Abbey!" Tala released the ice from around him and forced it into his fingertip. Tala took one good glance at Boris before releasing the ice, which in return, caused an enormous ice storm, stabbing Boris to death.
" You got it out of your system now? " Catty asked Tala as he turned and picked up Kitsume, then walked over to Wolborg.
"… I do believe that I'm done." Tala said calmly as Kai and Rei stared at the wolf master.
"You truly are ready for the war…," a voice said quietly in the distance so it wasn't heard. " Funny, I thought that was my job…" Lavender hair blew gently in front of a masked face. A large winged creature stood behind the lavender haired girl as she turned her back to the group that was getting ready to make their departure.
"I can't wait to see you again…Catty…"
Bryan walked down to Chesa's room and pondered weather or not he would really go through with it. That is, until Chesa opened the door and walked straight into his chest.
"Ow!"
Ocean blue met moonlight as both nekit and falcon held each others gaze.
"What are you doing here?" Chesa asked as her face turned a light shade of red.
"I… uh…" Damn Bryan, JUST SPIT IT OUT!!! Bryan screamed at himself as he racked his brain for an answer. Why is it so hard to just TALK to HER?!
Bryan took the physical response and wrapped his arms around Chesa's waist and pressed his lips against hers. Chesa's eyes went wide as she stood there as Bryan traced his tongue over and around her bottom lip, asking for entrance. Chesa quickly granted Bryan permission as Bryan picked Chesa up and walked into her room, closing the door with his foot. Never breaking the kiss, Bryan laid Chesa down on her bed pinning her in place.
Bryan broke the kiss and trailed kisses along Chesa's jaw, then nibbled on her earlobe.
"I … love you Chesa…"
"I love you too… Bryan"

Catty, Kai, and Rei climbed onto Dranzer as Tala mounted Wolborg with Kitsume in his arms and Kitty behind him with her arms wrapped around his waist. The wind seemed to grow violent as Wolborg and Dranzer took flight.
"We have to defeat Khaymen soon, or this planet might completely combust or something." Catty muttered as Dranzer and Wolborg made their way back to the apartment.
"I hope nothing happened while we were gone." Rei stared at the calm water underneath him as Dranzer flew over what was once land.
"I don't think the earth is going to be livable after this…," Catty said as the apartment came into view.
" What do you mean? " Kai looked at Catty questionably.
" The vegetation on the planet is dying from the overdose of water. The humans aren't going to be able to produce the food they need to survive." Catty sighed and stared at a ring that hung from a silver chain that hung around her neck below her collar.
"Old lover?" Kai asked as he saw Catty play around with it.
"Huh?"
"The ring…"
"Oh, … no… it was a gift from my mother before she died." Catty fell silent as Dranzer landed on the roof. Rei jumped off Dranzers back and made his way into the apartment.
"Oh…" Kai looked down at the concrete as Catty jumped off Dranzer. " I didn't know…"
"It's ok." Catty said quietly. Thunder clashed and the lightning crackled through the sky as the rain poured down on everyone.
"I don't know about you two, but I'm going to head inside before I catch a cold." Tala emphasized the last part.
"We'll be in shortly." Kai said as he watched Catty walk over to the side of the building. Kai walked over beside her and stared at the water sliding the side of her face. Tala shook his head and walked inside with Kitty bouncing behind him, saying something about Bryan's fluffy jacket.
"Wonder why we're always caught in the rain…" Catty mumbled. Dranzer watched Catty and his master for a little bit then walked over and extended his wing above them.
Catty blinked for a moment then looked up to see Dranzer sheltering them.
" Thanks Dranz."
Kai stared at Dranzer and scratched the top of his head.
" He can be really thoughtful…"
"He's loyal…"
"That too…"
"Cause I'm right."
"You're pushing your luck…"
"Or just your buttons?"
"Hn."
"Yup."
"You talk too much…" Kai said as he turned Catty towards him and pressed his lips against hers. Catty smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. Dranzer snorted and shook the water off his wings and onto the snooging couple.
Both parted for a second before playfully glaring at Dranzer. Dranzer simply shrugged them off and returned to his blade.
"Evil Phoenix..."
"I'd say evil pigeon…" Catty chuckled and hugged Kai.
"Yea, but, he'd like, never help me again if I did that." Kai replied as he played around with Catty's wet ears.
"We'd better go inside before Rei tries something."
"Yea." Kai took Catty's hand as they walked over to the door.
"So, you're just going to leave me here without saying hello or greet me with a welcome party?"
"Well we didn't know the mutt had finally returned." Kai replied.
"WOLF! NOT MUTT!"
" Shut it Korimi… Rei and Tal missed you, so you'd better go in and make sure they don't go and try to tare each other apart." Catty looked over her shoulder and grinned at Korimi as Keizer returned to his blade.
Korimi stuck her tongue out and walked past Catty and walked into the apartment.
" You know, we should head inside too." Kai recommended.
" Yea we SHOULD…but…I like the rain…" Catty commented as Kai walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. Catty leaned back into Kai's embrace and lifted her head so the rain could wash away past tears and sorrows. Kai leaned down and rested his forehead against hers.
"… Catty, I need to tell you something." Kai held onto Catty a little tighter.
" Ok. Shoot." Catty sighed contently as she turned around and snuggled deeper into Kai's chest.
"… I'm not going with you when you go to take on Khaymen."
Catty remained silent as her eyes went wide. She tore from Kai's embrace and stared hard into his eyes. "Why?!"
" I feel like I'm suppose to wait for something here."
" Then can I -"
" No. You're team is going to need you and your brother needs you." Kai stared back at Catty suddenly feeling like something wasn't right. He was already getting cold from the lack of her body heat mixed with his. I need you.
" But I … need - "
" You need to be there for the OTHERS. I'll be waiting here."
" But… what if something happens and you need my help?! What about that Kai?! Do you know how hard it is to battle not knowing what's going to happen to your team or any friends that stay behind?! Last time… last time…" Catty shook her head as tears started to pour from her eyes again. "Last time, my brother, Tala, EVERYONE died because I was too busy trying to get some moron from the phoenix tribe to help us and to join forced with us! I lost everyone that I held close!!" Catty stared hard at Kai.
Kai was at a lose of words as he stared into Catty's eyes.
What do I do now?
Catty: PHEW!!! Ok now that that is over…
Rei: How's Catty and Kai's relationship going to pull through… or will it???
Kai: --; just review and ignore the others
