Around 10, the next morning, there was a soft knock on the door to Ray's room. Ray slowly woke up made an unintelligent sound, with that a young lady walked into the room.
"Good morning sir. I'm simply here to clean up a little and bring you your breakfast." The girl didn't look much older then 16.
"Thanks." Ray got up out of bed. "What's your name?" Ray asked with a smile.
"Karla." She answered blushing.
"Well Karla, do you know any where that would be good to go? Any where to visit?" Ray asked.
Karla looked thoughtful for a little. "Well there is The Shace."
"What's that?" Ray asked.
"It's a club. They let any one in, so it's good for us who aren't 18 yet." The young girl smiled.
"Where would I find this club?"
"Oh two blocks from here, the opposite side of the airport." Karla stated.
"Okay, thanks a bunch!" Ray smiled, and started eating what Karla hade brought up for him.
Soon after Karla left and Ray finished up his food, then decided a good shower was in store. He grabbed a change of clothes from his bag, and headed to the shower. He turned on the hot water, and then striped, then he stepped into the shower letting out a content sigh. Ray was in heaven, relaxing. After about 30 minutes the water started to go cold, so, Ray got out and got dressed. Once he was dressed and ready, he left his room, making sure he had his key with him, and went visiting. As he passed by the receptions desk, he gave a polite node to the man from the night before and a friendly smile and he walked out, into the cold weather. Ray smiled none the less, for the first time in his life he was free, no one around to tell him where to go and when to got to places, and so on. Ray walked down the streets of Moscow, looking into the windows of the small shops; when something in the windows caught his eye, Ray would go in, and look around; he didn't buy much, seeing as he didn't bring much.
Tala, Kai and Brian were walking around just taking some air.
"Hey isn't that that kid you were with when you got off the plain?" Brian commented as Ray walked out of one of the shops.
Tala looked up and nodded. "Ya it is him."
The trio started walking in his direction. Ray had stopped to look into another window so he didn't notice the trio.
"Did you know staring was impolite?" Tala smirked.
Ray instantly recognised the voice. "Well only if it's staring at a person, objects its okay." Ray turned around and smiled at the trio.
"Okay so you might be right on that one." Tala said crossing his arms.
Ray chuckled. "I didn't know I'd be running into you this early in my stay."
"Ah yes. I'm trebly sorry, but I thought we were here on our honey moon dear." Tala said, sounding hurt.
"Oh I'm sorry honey, but I've decided that, you're not my type." Ray said causally though with a smirk on.
"Ah. I knew it! You're sleeping with Kai!" Tala said wanting to see Kai's reaction.
Ray just looked at Tala quizzically, while Kai glared at Tala.
"Err…ya right, it would help to know WHO Kai is." Ray said mater of fact.
"Oh ya I didn't introduce my friends. Blue boy is Kai, and the other one is Brian." Tala said pointing to each individually.
Ray smiled and nodded to both of them getting a nod back from both. "Nice to meat you." Ray looked back at Kai. "So according to Tala, I'm sleeping with you?"
"I guess so. But I don't think he minds, Brian sounds like he's keeping him occupied." Kai said smirking when he saw Tala blush.
"Ah well then, I guess I made a good choice, seeing as he's already taken, and to say he lied to me. Bastered." Ray pretended to be mad at Tala.
Both Kai and Brian looked at each other with raised eyebrows. Ray and Tala glanced at them once and burst out laughing. Once they had both stopped laughing they wiped the tears from there eyes and looked at the other two.
"Sorry about that. Man I don't remember the last time I laughed so hard." Ray said smiling.
"Well I guess we're going to have to change that." Tala looked over at Kai and Brian. "Wait let me rephrase that, I guess I'll have to change that. Those two aren't the kind of people that will start laughing, or even smile, but hey, there great friends." Tala said.
"Then I guess I'll have to make them." Ray said making up his mind.
Ray looked down at his watch and sighed. "As much as I enjoy talking with you, I have to go." Ray said apologetically.
"Where do you have to go?" Kai asked.
"Err…2845 Churemp(3). I have no clue where it is though, which is one of the reason's I've been walking around town all day hoping to find the place." Ray sweat droped.
"Well we could show you the way." Kai said.
Ray looked up at Kai and smiled. "Really?" then he looked at the other two.
"Ya, we have nothing to do." Tala said. "What time do you have to be there?"
"Err…I have 30 minutes left." Ray said looking at his watch.
"Well I guess we should get going, it's about 15 minutes from here." Brian pointed out.
The other three nodded and they started heading to the place. The walk there was quiet, each person thinking. One however, from the corner of his eye, was staring at the person walking next to him.
'I can't believe Tala was right. But I can't let him know, or he'll never let it go.' Kai thought as he watched the boy next to him walk, lost in thought.
Ray felt eyes on him so he looked up and caught Kai's eye, and smiled up at him. The other two never saw it, and Kai looked away quickly, making Ray let out a small chuckle, which got the other two's attention.
"What are you laughing about?" Tala asked.
Ray looked over and smiled. "Oh, I was just remembering something my friend told me once, sorry."
"Ah no worries. What was it?" Tala asked.
"Do any of you know Chinese?" Ray asked.
Tala and Brian shook their heads.
Ray smiled apologetically. "Then I guess I can't tell you, I don't know how to translate it."
Kai looked at Ray quizzically, but realised and caught his tug before he could talk. 'Thank god! How did he know I didn't want them to know? I'm going to have ask him.' Kai thought as they finally got to the building.
"Well we have arrived!" Tala said dramatically, which got him a slap behind the head.
"Thanks a lot guys, I don't know if I would have made it here, ever." Ray smiled.
"Hey it was our pleasure." Tala said.
"Well I'll see you around." Ray said as he headed to the door then stopped; he turned to the trio, who had locally not moved. "Do any of you have a map with you?"
The trio shook their heads. Ray's shoulders slumped.
"Why did you want to know?" Kai asked.
"Well I would have borrowed it, seeing as since I've left I hotel, I haven't been keeping track of where I was going so I have no clue how to get back." Ray blushed.
"How about I stay with you until you're finished what ever your here to do, then I walk you back?" Kais asked.
Ray smiled. "Really? Ah you have no clue how thankful I am."
Tala and Brian looked at Kai flabbergasted.
"Okay so see ya when you get back." Brian said as Tala and he walked off.
Kai and Ray walked in and Ray headed straight to the receptions desk, surprising Kai seeing as the receptions desk was in some sort f maze. When the got to the receptions desk the lady looked up and smiled.
"Well it's been a while since we've seen you here Mr. Kon." The lady said.
"Well it's been a while since I've cone here, a really long while." Ray chuckled.
Kai just looked at the two but didn't say anything.
"What could I be service of?" the lady asked.
"Well you remember the last time I was here with my parents, I personally asked you to put something away, without my parents consent." Ray asked.
The lady nodded here head. "Yes I remember. Would you like to take it out?"
"Yes please." Ray smiled.
The lady smiled and nodded here head, once again, and stood up and left the two.
"You've been here before?" Kai asked.
"Ya, I came here when I was about five." Ray said taking a seat.
Kai came and sat down next to Ray. "So what exactly is it you left here?"
"Money. My parents were always very protective of me, so every thing had to go by them first. So already at the age of five I was annoyed so I asked my cosine if he could fix me something up, and I was there with him, so I knew what I would have to do when I ever wanted it again." Ray said.
"Well you were a pretty smart five year old." Kai smirked.
Ray smiled as a small blush appeared on his cheeks. "Ya well I had to."
Kai looked over at Ray. "Who come?"
"Well my parents have always wanted me to be the best at every thing, so the only thing my parents have let me do is learn, and make sure I exceed at everything. They always made decisions for me, like who I'm supposed to marry. Which is one of the reasons why I'm here at the moment." Ray said looking at his hands.
Kai looked at Ray and smiled knowingly. "I know how you feel."
Ray looked up a little surprised, but didn't say anything. About five minutes later, the lady came back.
"Mr. Kon. Here you are." The lady handed Ray a small box.
"Thank you. I guess I'll see you some other time." Ray said getting up and taking the small box.
The lady smiled and nodded. "I do hope so. Well god bye then." The lady smiled then turned and went back to her desk.
Ray turned back to Kai, who while the exchange had stood up. "We can go now."
Kai nodded and led the way. They walked for about ten minutes in silence, until Ray spoke.
"Have you lived in Moscow all your life?" Ray looked over at Kai.
"Huh? Oh, ya I was born here, but for a while I lived in Japan, with my parents, but when they died I came back here to live with my grandfather." Kai explained.
"Oh. I'm sorry about your parents." Ray looked sadden, as he looked at his feet.
"Don't be. I've gotten over it." Kai said looking down at Ray.
Ray looked up at Kai. "If you don't mind, but how long ago?"
"I was about five when they died." Kais answered.
"Oh." Ray looked away again. 'Man I would have never been able to get over the fact that my parents died when I was only five.'
