"Tala…" Bryan growled, growing impatient.
"What?" Tala snapped. "And why do you care about my private life?"
"I care, because it's affecting your blading!"
Tala thought furiously, but managed to keep a thinking face on his…face.
Now would be a great time for hunters to start shooting… That's it!
"The hunters." He replied. "When Moon Child was here, they were on high alert. Now she's gone…"
"They're not. Yeah, I noticed." Bryan finished. "But I think it's just pure coincidence. Either that or they know we have the wolf cub and now she's gone, they don't need to worry that much." He raised an eyebrow. "What? Did you think they would go after Kai and Moon Child?"
"Could do." Tala protested. He rose from his seat. "Fine then. Let's go train then. Shall we?"
Ray slumped into the futon in a furious rage. Kai was just about to tell him something important and Tyson turns up, disturbing them. Then he had to take care of Tyson, bandaging his wounds etc. Then calm Max down and confiscate Dizzi from Kenny. Oh wait, no. That was Kai…
Anyway, he now felt like Kai really trusted him (and totally hated Tyson right now.). He had threatened to massacre him if he told a soul, so it must be something big.
He sighed and closed his eyes, listening to Tyson's snores.
They may be loud, but they're hypnotic. The rhythm and-His thoughts were cut short as sleep suddenly caught up on him.
Sunlight shone through the barred high windows in Tyson dojo, forcing Kai's eyes into slits as he roused from his sleep. He was suddenly reminded of Tala and now knew why he fell of the bed in the morning. But Kai was smarter; he knew not to roll away from the light (He never wanted to go to hell anyway…).
He sat up slowly and opened his eyes fully. Scanning the room, he found four sleeping forms. Well, he could tell that Tyson was asleep by the snores…
He stood and grabbed his clothes, before going into the bathroom and shutting the door quietly. He wasn't going soft or anything, but he didn't want to wake the others. It was only 6 in the morning, for one and also, he'd found out that if he woke them a 7, rather than 6, they had more energy and therefore trained more.
He took a quick shower, dressed and was about to open the door, when he heard a voice.
"Oh, hey Moony." He heard the person whisper. He instantly recognised it as Ray. "Is Kai in the bathroom? Well, I suppose I shouldn't complain. I woke up earlier than usu- oh hey Kai."
Kai nodded in acknowledgement. Ray walked past him and shut the bathroom door behind him, leaving Kai slightly puzzled. It might've been the light, but Ray looked slightly pale.
He shrugged it off and cleared up his bed, before stepping outside. He took in a deep breath and let it out, relaxing…
"Achoo!"
Kai turned towards the sound to see Ray rubbing his nose. The Chinese neko boy turned to look at Kai and smile nervously.
"Ray… don't tell me you're sick."
Ray laughed nervously. "No, just… Achoo!"
Kai shook his head sadly. Ray was as stubborn as him and hated missing out on training.
"Ray, get to bed now." He ordered calmly.
"Why?" Ray asked. "It's just a little cold; I'll be fine!"
"No. Rest."
"Hey! That's unfair!" Tyson whined.
"What's unfair, Tyson?" Kenny asked.
"Ray gets to stay in bed, but we have to get up!" Tyson replied, looking at Kai, who was sitting on the porch, opposite him. "Just because Ray's your boyfriend, Kai, doesn't mean that you should let him off training!"
"Ray's what?" Max exclaimed, looking between Kai and Tyson.
A vein popped up on Kai's brow. "For the last time, Tyson, Ray is not my boyfriend. We are not together, just good friends. And the reason why he's in bed still, is because he's ill."
"Oh my! He's sick?" Kenny asked worriedly.
Kai nodded.
"Poor Ray!" Hilary said.
"Hey wait a minute!" Max yelled slightly. "Where's your wolf, Kai?"
"Inside, sleeping next to Ray."
Max looked horrified. "But he could eat Ray!"
He went to stand, but Kai gave him a glare.
"She won't eat Ray, unless I tell her to. And no going inside. You can't wake Ray. He needs rest." Kai commanded.
"But I can't sleep." Ray whined, coming outside, fully clothed, with Moon Child trotting behind him. He didn't look awful; just pale and a slightly red nose, making him look like he was drunk. "And I feel slightly better, anyway." He looked at Kai. "And there's no point in trying to make me Kai. You'd have to drug me to get me to sleep."
Kai raised an eyebrow. "Don't tempt me." Ray shrugged and sat by Kai, but not totally next to him. "You don't have to worry about me, Ray. I stayed with Tala when he was ill and I never caught a thing."
"So it was you!" Tyson exclaimed, pointing a finger at the Russian. "You got Ray sick! You carried Tala's icky germs and gave them to Ray!" He paused, looking nervously at theglaring teen. "Not saying that Tala's icky or anything. Just his germs."
"Actually, no. Tala had a totally different thing. He had a fever." Kai said, calming himself down.
"And," Ray added, before anyone could say anything. "Lee had a cold thing. So I must've caught it off him. I've been feeling under the weather for a while, so it must've caught up with me."
"Oh, ok. But don't give it to me. Jeez!" Tyson glanced at Ray, then Kai.
"Five extra laps, Granger."
"Dammit!"
A/N- random chappie I know.
Demi-goddess: WAAAA!
Tala: hey. Why're you cryin?
Demi-goddess: I got flamed in mah other fic the draconian guardians-
Tala: In which I play an important role-
Demi-goddess: Shut up. Mah sister's in it too! Rhian! And someone said she was Mary-sue like!
Tyson: I thought you were pissed off about that.
Demi-goddess: I am. I was just waiting for you to come along for me to admit that. (Starts throttling Tyson to take out stress of flamer)
Tala: (Sweatdrops) Right. Er. Reviews? Kai? Wanna help me, my ushka?
Kai: sure.
aries1391-
Tala: right. Demi-goddess wants to thank you for your review-
Kai: As always…
Tala: shut up Kai. Yep, Demi-goddess' puppies are fine. And Tyson shouldn't have made it out alive, either. My Kai must be going soft.
Kai: Am not.
Tala: Are too.
Kai: Shut up, or I wont ever kiss you again.
Tala: you say that,but you'll alwayskiss me! You can't resist me.
Kai: damn he's right. Well, I love Tala and wolves too, aries, so we're all the same.
Tala: AW! He loves me!
Demenior-Kai: What? Do you expect me to be all lovey-dovey? I hope not or I'll-
Tala: Hug you forever!
Kai: No I won't Tala. She'd like that too much.
Tala: True.
Kai: (Reads second review) Yes I was about to tell my secret. Oh and please don't poison Tyson.
Tala: Why?
Kai: Because I wanna do it.
Tala: Oh. (Reads second review too) You're a lot like him? Well, all of Demi-goddess' friends say she's like Kai here.
Kai: Yeah. She is. It's like she's a female version of me, except more social…kinda.
Asian Hottie-Ray: Are you really an Asian hottie?
Tal: hey! We're doing reviews! Shoo!
Ray: aw! Come on, guys! I wanna answer this one!
Kai: Fine. (Tala and Kai walk off to help throttle Tyson)
Ray: Right, hey Asian hottie! Kai really was going to tell me, but Tyson came. Or if you were talking about Tala, it's the same, but to Bryan. You kinda found out in this chapter. (Gets handed a card) Oh, and Demi-goddess wants to apologize for any crappy chappies past, present an future. BYE!
Tala: You're too friendly.
Ray: I know. That's why Demi-goddess only uses me for reviews, not flamers.
Tala: really?
Ray: Yep. You're doing flamers from now on. Maybe reviews too.
Tala: Oh, okay. But that's no excuse for everyone to flame! Demi-goddess doesn't care anyway.
Ray: Apart from when it insults her family or interests.
Kai: Enough rambling! Goodbye!
