Chapter 2
"So, how have you been?"
"I've been doing good, just missed you."
" I've missed you."
Rei leaned down and kissed her as she kissed him back. She wrapped her arms around his neck, as he wrapped his arms her waist. Pulling herself closer she moved her hand over his back, and pulled his shirt from his pants and placed her hands under his shirt and gently caressed his chest. He moved his lips from hers and started to kiss up and down her neck.
"Rei…I have a question."
"What is it?"
"Do you love me? I mean really love me?"
Pulling his up so he could see her face he looked straight into her eyes and smiled. Then he softly kissed her and said,
"Yes Mariah. From the first time I ever saw you."
"What do you love about me?"
"What is there I don't love is the real question."
She giggled and buried her face into his chest. She let out a small sigh and placed little butterfly kisses on his neck and collarbone. He closed his eyes and let a soft moan escape his lips. Mariah then moved her lips up to his jaw line and traced it with just the tip of her tongue, causing him to shiver. Placing his hands on both sides of her face and turned her head to look at him, 'til gold, met golden. Looking lovingly into her eyes he placed a soft kiss on her lips, then deeply kissed her.
She again wrapped her arms around his neck. Closing her eyes she softly moaned, how she had missed his kisses. She loved him so much. She wasn't going to ever leave him again, never. Her love for him was so great, that she would die for him. Rei started to kiss from her lips down to her neck. When he pulled his lips away, she slid his shirt over his head and let it flutter to the ground. She then let her hands roam his wonderfully sculpted chest and abdomen. His heartbeat started to run a marathon, and his breath was a soft pant. He placed his lips on hers, deeply kissing her again.
Mariah slowly pulled away from him, Rei watched her carefully. She reached be hind her and undid her hair. Shaking it out and letting it cascade down her back. She then undid the sash around her waist and threw it with his shirt. Pulling the brown cloak above her head, again letting it fall to the ground with his shirt. Under the cloak was a small servant dress, held together by a piece of rope. Rei kept his eyes on her face, focused on her beautiful eyes. Not pulling her eyes away from him she undid the rope and threw it to the side. With a deep breath, from them both, she removed the last of her cloths.
Even though she stood before him, bare he still kept his eyes lock with hers. She walked over to him and bent down and kissed him. She then pulled away from him and softly whispered into his ear.
"Please make me yours."
"Are you ready? Truly ready?"
"I am. Please make love to me."
"As you wish Princess."
"Use my name."
He softly laughed and kissed her. She kissed him back and let him lay her back. Hiss lips never left hers, but his hands gently caressed every contour of her body. She shivered, slightly, and caressed his back all the small of his back. Deeply kissing her he ran his hands up her back into her beautiful pink hair. She moved her lips onto his neck and her hands went and slowly undid his sash around his waist. He lifted himself so she could get it off.
Looking deeply into her eyes he got a small smile on his face. Placing a gentle hand on her face he placed a small kiss on her lips.
"I you okay with this?"
"Of course. I love you, and I want you. I'm fine."
"If I'm going to fast, just let me now okay."
"I will, now shut up and kiss me."
With a small laugh he complied.
IN THE CAMP
Tala took a deep breath as he heard his name harshly called, turning around he came face to face with very red, fiery, angry, crimson eyes. Sighing he backed a few inches away before speaking. He never got the chance to, seeing as how his leader had taken the first word.
"What do you think you're doing!"
"I was just d…"
" You are to never, NEVER, supposed to accept anyone with out my okay! What about that don't you understand!"
"There's not…"
"No! I don't want to hear it! You have got to stop this Tala! I mean it! You are one day going to let the wrong person in, and have us all killed or sent to the kings dungeons!"
"You're not…"
"I'm not going to let you ruin this gang that I've built!"
"If you would just…"
"Just…just what? See it your way! I don't think so! Your way is going to get us all killed!"
Frowning Tala stood up and fixated a glare on his angry faced leader. Tala had had it! He wasn't going to put up with his crap anymore. Tala reached out and did something he probably shouldn't have done, he smack Kai. Kai was quiet for a little while, this gave Tala just the chance he needed.
"Kai, you have to listen to me. Accepting everyone into our gang isn't a bad thing. You have to understand…some people need a place to stay. I want to give that to them. Just because you want to seclude our little gang, to three people, doesn't mean that I want to! What do you expect us to do with four people! Having three people in a gang isn't exactly a gang."
Taking a breath Tala looked at Kai, whom still had an angry glare fixed in him. Closing his eyes Tala could clearly see that Kai wasn't going to change his mind. He should have known that this was going to be a lost cause. He turned to leave, but a vice grip on his upper arm stopped him. Sighing he turned his head to face Kai.
"What do want Kai?"
"I want to let you know…if this happens again. You are out of this gang."
Tala froze. Kai had never threatened him before. Why was he doing it now? Tala fiercely grabbed the wrist of the hand that was holding his arm and twisted it let his arm go. Threw his hand at him and turned to glare at Kai.
"I'm out…I'm out! Just for being nice! Not everyone has to be a cold hearted bastard like you ya know!"
Tala got a punch to the cheek. Stumbling backward Tala glared angrily at his friend. Seething Tala pulled back and went to punch Kai, but Kai grabbed Tala fist. Growling Tala went to kick him, but Kai blocked it. Tala then pulled a fake, he acted like he was going to knee him, and as Kai went to block it, Tala uppercut him. Kai flew backward a few feet and fixed Tala with a glare that would make the strongest, bravest man cower. Tala stood there, unaffected by the glare.
"That comment was uncalled for Ivanov."
"Yeah… well truth hurts doesn't it."
Kai narrowed his eyes and wiped blood from his lip. Tala took his thumb and wiped the blood from his lip and turned and walked away. Watching Talas' retreating figure, Kais' anger grew. Why couldn't he understand? He was trying to protect him. How could he protect him if he broke all the rules? Well, no more, one more chance and that's it. One more slip up and he will have to find another way to protect him self. Standing up Kai dusted himself off and left, he needed time to think.
IN THE FOREST
Tala grumbled as he bushed a branch out of his way. Why couldn't Kai understand? Why does he have to be so uptight? Why can't he be more understanding? He just couldn't understand it. He walked to a clearing and sat on a rock and looked at his reflection, in the pond. Closing his eyes he leaned back. Taking a deep breath, he opened his eyes and looked at the sky. The stars twinkled in the dark navy blue sky. He loved the moon, as it cascaded it's rays onto the surface below it. It was so mysterious, and beautiful. He would always look at it when he need to calm down.
He was so caught up in watching the stars and the moon that he didn't see the group of soldiers behind him. The soldiers were lead by none other than Oushi. He confirmed that the red head was indeed the one who help the raven haired boy escape him.
Tala stood up and stretched, but before he could leave he was tackled to the ground, then gagged and had his hands tied behind his back. Struggling Tala tried to get away, but he couldn't move, due to the fact that two, two hundred pound guards were on top of him. Tala was then jerked too his feet and pushed to look at the head guards face.
"So…boy. I hear you know where a certain servant boy is…this servant boy goes by the name of Rei Kon."
THE OTHER CLEARING
Rei was sitting by the lake, he had been looking down at the moon lights reflection. Remembering the events earlier. Closing his eyes he softly smiled. He then felt two arms slip around his waist. Opening his eyes he looked at his lover. She wore a smile on her face, she slid her self onto his lap, and threw her arms around his neck. Mariah then leaned her head onto his neck and looked at the scenery with him.
"I love you Rei, I love you so much. I'm never leaving you again. Ever."
"I Love you to Mariah. I'll never let anything happen to you."
"Good, or you'll be in big trouble mister."
Rei laughed, and wrapped his arms around her thin waist, and pulled her close to him. She closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep in his arms. Rei looked down at her slumbering form he smiled. He loved how she looked so peaceful. Brushing hair from her face, he watched her sleep for a while. Then he decided that it was best that they go back to the gang.
Having put his shirt and shoes on. Tying his sash around his waist, he gently picked up his sleeping lover and took her back to camp. Sliding her onto the cot, he took his shoes off and slid in beside her, eventually falling asleep.
The next morning, Kai scoured the entire camp to try and find Tala, yet so far no one had seen him. He had just disappeared, overnight even! Where did he go…wait a minute Rei and that annoying pink haired girl. They had disappeared too. No one had seen them until about two hours after Tala had left. Kai wasn't one to be suspicious, but…that was all to convenient. Kai walked over to the tent where Rei was sleeping. He was about to get his attention, when Max ran up to him. Holding a note, and Max looked panicked.
"Kai! Kai! You have to look at this! It's about Tala!"
"Tala…What about him…do you know where he is?"
"The King has him."
"The king!"
"He says he knows you have the servant boy and his daughter…and he wants them in by sun down today, he'll execute the him."
"Execute…"
"By hanging."
"Hanging."
Kai absorbed it all in for a moment. The King had his best friend, and wanted his daughter and the servant or Tala would die. But who was…Rei. Kai narrowed his eyes and growled. He was going to give Rei and the girl back to king. He wasn't going to let his friend die because of a love sick servant and a stupid princess.
Storming into the tent he grabbed Rei by the upper arm and jerked him out of the bed. Rei was surprised and was barley able to keep his footing. Mariah woke with a start, she glared at Kai.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?"
"Are you not the Princess?
"I...w…what?"
"I know about your little secret. You are the princess and you are nothing but a lowly servant! The king is looking for you and I'm going to give him what he wants."
Rei pulled himself from Kais grasp and went over to Mariah. She glared at Kai, Rei turned to face him. Holding Mariah Rei spoke,
"Why do you want turn us in so bad?"
"Why? You want to know why? Because Tala is going to die by dawn tomorrow! I knew he shouldn't have trusted you! He is going to die because of you."
Rei was quiet for a while. The king had Tala and was using it against him. It wasn't fair. Rei closed his eyes. Mariah touched Reis face, he opened his eyes and looked down at her. He had only known Tala for three days, but he felt like he'd known him for years. Rei wasn't going to let him die.
"We have to go back."
"Rei!"
"I can't let him die! It's not fair to him Mariah."
"But he'll kill you!"
"Lets not cross that bridge yet, we have to cross this bridge now. We have to save Tala. We have to go."
"Okay…but only to save Tala."
Rei looked at Kai, Kai looked at Rei. Rei grabbed Mariahs' hand and started to walk. Walking past Kai, Rei gave him one last look, and softly smiled.
"I'm going to make sure that Tala will get out safely."
With that said Rei and Mariah went off to the hell that was the palace.
AT THE PALACE
Oushi punched the red head again. Tala groaned as his weight was pulling hard on the chains around his wrists. Oushi smirked and pulled the red head up by his collar. Glaring at the red head he kneed him in the gut about three times, not letting him catch his breath. Gasping Tala coughed up blood, but glared up at his abuser.
"You're not so smart now are you?"
"You don't scare me…you…you…bastard."
Tala was answered with a fierce uppercut. Tala's head smacked against the wall and he was rendered unconscious. Smirking Oushi looked at the red head. All of what he did to him, was going to be given ten fold to the raven haired boy.
"It's only a matter of time…only a matter of time."
