So many players
Chapter four: Sleepless in New York
Kai sat in his room, more to the point, he was sitting on his suitcase. All packed up and ready to go Kai waited for Ray to return so they could get going. He heared the door handle being pushed down and opened and he expected Ray to walk in but it wasn't the chinese boy. Tala was standing in the door way, tears running down his cheeks, his eyes were blood shot and his face was slightly puffy. Sobbing he ran over to Kai and squeezed the bluehaired boy tight.
"Tala, what's wrong?" Kai asked sypatheticaly. He looked down at Tala who burried his face in to Kai's shoulder.
"They're dead. They're all dead. My untire family are dead!" Tala, enraged and confused punched Kai hard on the chest before crying in to him again.
"What? Even your sister?" Kai pulled the red head off of him and focased at the icy purple eyes.
"Yeah, she just died, I knew she was sick but I thought even Boris wasn't cold hearted enough to pull the plug just 'cause I don't work for him any more."
"What? When did your mum and dad die?" Kai couldn't remember ever hearing about them dieing before.
"You wern't there." Tala choked on his words and looked up at Kai's face, guilt ridden that he wasn't there when Tala needed him.
"I'm so sorry." Kai embraced Tala tightly and didn't want to let go untill he was sure Tala was okay. "If I could I would have been there for you, I mean it. i wouldn't of let you go through that alone."
Flash back
"Hey! Tala!" Ian ran across the snow to the Red haired boy leaving the premiseies of Biovalt. "Boris'll kill you if he finds out you've gone out."
"Let, him. It's christams eve and my parents are coming back to town." Tala smiled and turned towards the town.
"I'll cover for you okay? Just don't go getting lost!" Ian called to the shrinking red head. As Tala turned the corner to his house he saw someone at the door step who wasn't his mom or dad.
"Sis?" Tala opened the gate as the older women stepped backwards and looked at him. She looked terrified.
"T-chan!" The girl ran over to Tala and hugged him. "Oh Tala I'm so glad I found you so quickly!"
"What's the matter sis? I thought you were spending the holiday's in Portugal with your husband."
"We have to get to the hospital, it's mom and dad, they were in a car crash." Tala heared the words but didn't want to, he didn't want anything to happen to change his life for better or worse.
The hospital waiting room was hell, all he did was pase the floor for what seemed like hours. In fact it had only been twenty minutes. His sister walked over to him and put her hands on his shoulders as the doctor walked towards them.
"I'm very sorry but, by the time they got to us, it was to late. We wern't able to bring them back." Tala felt tears welling up in side but didn't want to show how much he hurt. His siter went over to the other side of the room to where her husband was standing. She cried in to his arms for over half an hour. Tala noticed something, there were police there, but why?
"Ella." Tala touched his siter's shoulder gently to get her attention. "Why are there police men here?" Ella froze, she didn't want to say. "Ella, please? tell me the truth." She wiped a stray tear from her eye then looked up at her brother.
"They found drugs in mom and dad's car. they think may've been smuglers, bringging drugs in from europe. As for the car accident, well, it wasn't real. Their car was shot at, very badly to. They couldn't even tell the two of them apart after wards. I don't know the whole story exctly."
Tala stood, watching his fathers coffin be lowerd in to the ground. Every one around was whispering about him. He could hear them all.
"Look, Tala's not even crying."
"He's sixteen years old now. But still, where is he going to go?"
"No one in their right mind would take him in, he'd cost a bundle to care for."
"Maybe his parents left him some spending money."
"They were 'art' dealers in europe, or so I've heared. they must have some cash stowed away some where." But one old women really got on Tala's nerves. She barely knew his parents, or him. She had not right to act like that, or so he thought.
"And if he is the child of common criminals? Take in a child like that and who knows what'll happen." Luckily for Tala his sister was good enough to let him move in with her and her family. He'd have a room there for holidays or when school got to much but he'd still have to live and Biovalt for the larger part of the year.

"Tala..." Kai looked sown at his friend and smiled. "I'm here now, and... i want to help you feel better, what ever'll help. I'll do it." He smiled and kissed Tala's forehead. Tala looked up at him, it was exactly what he'd wanted to hear. His sister wasn't dead, she was perfectly fine, infact, she'd just had her first son!
"There is something you can do."
"What is it. i'll do anything." Tala leaned up and whispered in Kai's ear. "Ohh... well, i said I'd do anything. i suppose I have to honour that." Tala smiled, so sweetly and inocently that you couldn't believe he'd just sujjested THAT. As Tala kissed Kai's neck and chest Kai's mind traced back to his thirtenth birth day.
Flash back
Tala and Kai were sitting on a hill over looking the school. Tala turned and looked at the younger boy.
"Hey, Kai."
"yeah." Kai turned and looked at Tala's forlorn and dreamy face. Tala quickly faced Kai and kissed him, then he flushed bright red and looked at Kai. kai's face was frozen in a shocked expression. Suddenly the sound of boys chanting came from down the hill.
"Kai and Tala sitting on a hill,
doing something they souldn't do,
first letter s,
last letter x
oh my god it must be... SOCKS!"
end flash back
Kai hadn't noticed how far Tala had gone. It was all ready over. Tala was laying next to Kai resting his head on Kai's chest. Tala's slowly rising and falling chest was sothing. How could he've all ready fallen asleep.
"Shit." Kai growled. "Ray'll be back soon. If he walks in and sees this." Suddenly it hit him. "What time is it?" Kai grabbed the alarm clock off of his bed table and then dropped it in suprise, nearly hitting Tala's head. "The plane'd all ready of gone." Kai sighed angrily then looked down at the cause of his problem. he couldn't be angry at Tala. for some reason he just couldn't be.
"K-chan." Tala moaned as he opened his eyes and kissed Kai's bare chest. "Oh god I love you."
"What?"
"Oh shit." Tala whispered. "I, i didn't mean it!" He quickly tried to take back what he'd said. Blushing heavily he looked up at Kai, who, for some reason, was smiling.
"Do you know what a froydean slip is?" tala shook his head from side to side. "It's when you say something, seamingly by accident which is actually what you mean. Oh, and, right back at yah." Kai kissed Tala's head then stroked the older boy's shoulder and back. This felt right, not like Emily or Ray, it just felt right. Suddenly the sound of a key in the door shook threw the room. "Damn, it's Ray!" Tala suddenly stood up and went to the bathroom. Kai fell backwards on to his bed and undid his chest bandages.
"Kai? You wern't at the air port, me and the gu... oh my god! Kai! are you okay?" Ray ran to the bedside and looked at the bandages Kai had on his chest. "Jesus when did this happen?" (Not in any chapters i loaded up because i couldn't, i just couldn't change this bit.) Kai groaned and looked at Raya.
"It hurts, please, help me." Kai moaned in pain then fell silent.
"Kai? Kai!" Ray suddenly started to feel very scared. He shook his friend then grabbed the phone of the bed side table. "Reception? I need a doctor up here now!"
The next day
Kai walked back in to Ray's and his room and sighed. Tala would've left ages ago.
"Kai?" Ray ran out of the bathroom where Tala had hidden last night and ran to Kai. "You wern't really in pain last night were you?" And, before Kai had the chance to answer Ray called for someone to come out of the bath room as well. Tala walked in and smiled a guilty little 'I'm sorry' at Kai. "He told me about his sister and you trying to comfort him. We don't care if you two are friends okay? Just, be honust, if you guys are friends just tells us. after all, you are just friends." With this Ray left the other two alone.
"Okay, so I didn't tell him every thing." Tala smiled cheekily and embraced Kai. "Kai?" He slowly looked Kai in the eyes with great worry.
"Yeah? What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I was just wondering... did you mean what you said last night? Do you really love me?" Tala was freating that the answer was no, he knew, some where in his self consious, however, that it was yes.
"Course I love you, more then anything in the bloody world. You just, you feel right, you feel right to me." He kissed the red harired boy then started to pull away from it. He flushed bright red, it didn't suit him one bit, he'd only just realsied what he'd said.
"Thanks Kai. Thanky uo for loving me."
End of Chapter four
Well... it is a bit short but I sort of felt that it had to be ended there. Is Kai telling the truth and will he still feel that way for Tala when he finds out it was all a lie? I cunning plan to get in to his pants. What do you think?
