Kai opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was a sleeping Tala.

The next thing was the clock.

"Fuck!" he tore himself out of the redhead's arms.

"Mmm. Did you have to wake me up?" Tala asked sleepily. When he didn't get a reply he sat up and grinned at the sight that welcomed him.

"Fuck fuck fuck fuck" Kai was practically jumping around the room trying to get dressed. "It's not funny Tala!" Kai said when he heard him stifle a laugh.

The older Russian cracked up, laughing uncontrollably.

"Tala!"

Tears of laughter wheled up in his eyes "You … look … so … funny!"

"I don't care im over 2 hours late!"

Tala was laughing so hard now it hurt and he couldn't talk.

"What. Is. So. Funny?"

"You forgot!"

"Forgot what?"

"I set your clock forward for you last night so you wouldn't be late and then Tyson nearly came barging in cos he wanted an extra hour in bed so you gave into him. Remember?"

Kais face fell. "Oh, yeah. God I feel stupid."

"Yep. So you've still got ages before you have to be downstairs!" Tala started laughing all over again, Kais face was brilliant.

"Why didn't you remind me straight away?"

"Laughing too much. You, forgetting something like that! Its so funny!"

"Tala…"

"Oh calm down Kai" the red head got out of bed and patted Kai on the cheek. "You'll get over it. Anyway we get to spend more time in bed."

Kai looked helplessly at him "how the hell are you older than me?"

"Easy. I was conceived before you."

"Ha ha. You know what I mean."

"What were you laughing at this morning?" Tyson asked Kai suspiciously, he still thought he was up to something

"I wasn't."

"Yes you were. I heard you."

"Im surprised you were awake that early"

"Yeah well. Someone set my alarm. And a few others."

Kai hid a smile behind his hand. Tala

Max laughed "aww poor liddle Tyson."

"It's not funny!"

Rei walked into the kitchen to see Tyson throwing a piece of toast at Max, who was still laughing. "What's going on in here?"

"Someone" Tyson glared at Max, "set my alarm to go off early and hid more in my room. Isn't that right Max?"

"Hey! It wasn't me I just think its really funny!"

Rei couldn't help smiling either. It seemed everyone was doing the same as Tyson ranted on about how despicable it was through mouthfuls of food whilst waving around some more toast.

The other 3 bladebreakers left, leaving Tyson talking to himself

"Why would anyone do that! I mean … HEY! Where'd everyone go!"

Tala smothered a laugh, this was sooo much fun.

"Tyson, shut up" Kai was of listening to him moan about what happened to him this morning.

"Yeah, but…"

"No. Shut. Up. Now" Kai gave Tyson one of his death glares.

The younger boy started mumbling to himself.

Kai sighed, was there no way to make him be quiet?

"It's alright Kai" Rei stood next to him "he'll stop when he realises no one is listening"

Kai raised an eyebrow "you think? We could dump him in the middle of nowhere and he'd still be talking"

Rei looked as his team captain, smiled and walked off to see Max, who was unusually hyper today.

"Hey Rei!"

"How much sugar have you had exactly today Max?"

"Uhhh, well I had some on my cereals and in my coffee…"

Ah, that's why. Coffee. "Just how many cups did you have?"

"Two?"

Rei laughed, "Now I know why Kai's in such a bad mood today. Tyson's moaning and you've got so much energy you're about to burst."

By this time Max was jumping up and down on the spot, yelling 'Draciel' as loud as he could, whilst his blade was going around the course.

Kai flopped down on his bed.

"What's up with you?" Tala sat down beside him

"Well, Max is high on sugar and Tyson is still moaning about the prank you pulled this morning."

"It was funny."

"Yeah. But not when you've got a kid with verbal diarrhoea. Anyway, what about you? When I saw you earlier you didn't seem that happy."

"Its nothing."

"Come on Tala you don't need to keep things from me."

"Its nothing!"

"Tala."

"What? Its not as though you ever tell me anything. Or anyone else for that matter. Why should I always have to tell you stuff if you don't tell me? You always act so guarded, so what's up with you? You stopped looking for your parents and you wont even tell me why, when it was my idea in the first place!"

"They're dead." Kai said in a quiet voice

"What?" Talas face softened

"You heard me! They're dead Tala! My grandfather was right! No one will ever love me and I'll always be alone!" Tears began to fall from his crimson eyes.

Tala couldn't bear to see him cry he let out a soft cry and took hold of the younger boy, stroking his hair, "I love you Kai." He whispered into his ear "and you will always have me."

Outside the room three shocked faces looked at each other.

Even though the argument had been in Russian they understood one word.

Tala.

so what do you think?

ahhh im going to sound like a tecnophobe but the only way this thing lets me separate the paragraphs is by putting the lines in!
