A/N- just like to remind you that in this fic (and every 'Wolf Love' that there shall ever be), Kai is taller than Tala. I know in the anime it's the other way round, but it works better in this fic with Kai being taller. Enjoy!

"Moony seems anxious." Hilary noted, looking at the grey wolf.

Moon Child wasn't actually anxious, per se. She had been lying outside, next to Ray, for about half an hour; since they had arrived back at the dojo. She had, at intervals, raised her head to look around, then settled back down and laid it back on the floor.

Ray shrugged. "Probably worried about Kai."

"Yeah, I suppose." Max replied, who was sitting on the porch next to Tyson.

"I think it's sweet." Hilary said.

"What do you mean?" asked Tyson.

"Well, we don't see Kai for about at least three months, and then he turns up with a wolf, which he describes as 'Tala-trouble'." Hilary explained. "Not to mention the fact that Kai only leaves Moon Child for a little amount of time."

"He's gone soft."

Moon Child raised her head to look at Tyson and growled, showing her sharp canines (They're the front, side teeth!). Tyson gulped audibly and laughed nervously.

"Nah," Ray surmised, running a finger down Moon Child's back. "I don't think he has. Just… opened up a bit, maybe." He shrugged again. "I dunno, but I guess Moon Child means a lot to him. Maybe she reminds him about someone…"

Like Tala…

"Now I know how it's like to be as tall as you, Kai."

Kai just chuckled and carried on walking through the dense forestry. You may be asking, 'why did Tala say that?'. Well, it's because… Kai is giving Tala a piggy-back ride. (A/N- (Sweatdrops)) The redhead had his arms wrapped firmly round the blunette's neck, with his head resting on Kai's.

"I'm not that much taller than you." Kai pointed out.

"Yeah, but still." Tala laughed, snuggling deeper into Kai's soft hair. "I hope I'm not too heavy."

Kai snorted (which he rarely did). "You? Heavy? If I compared your weight to the cub, you'd be lighter."

"That's because she's been around Tyson too long."

"Yeah right." Kai replied airily. "Or you haven't been around Tyson for a while. You need to eat more."

Tala pouted, though Kai couldn't see him. "Don't you like my figure?"

"Don't even try the guilt trip on me, even if there was one to give away."

Tala sighed.

"I hate to be the one to gossip, but I have a feeling that Cupid's getting ready to fire another two arrows." Kai said, with a smirk.

"Who?"

"Ray and Bryan."

If Kai hadn't been holding on to Tala's knees tightly, then the redhead would've fallen off in surprise.

"What? Bryan? How do you know?" Tala asked, getting comfortable again by snuggling his face back into Kai's messy hair.

"He kissed Ray." Kai said simply, getting ready for Tala to lose balance. "Just before our little… meeting."

"Ah, well." Tala sighed again. "I remember that 'meeting'. That has had to have been the shortest meeting we've had. And not even a kiss."

"Ya, well, I'm sorry, but I couldn't help that. Darling Bryan arrived before I could do anything."

"And what were you going to do?" Tala asked slyly.

Kai smirked. "You'll just have to wait and see…"

Sigh.

Pause.

Sigh.

Pause.

Sigh.

Pause.

Si-

"You dare sigh one more time and I'll hurt you so bad that you'll need to be put on a ventilator to even breathe." Tyson threatened.

Moon Child gave a short whine and jumped up, running out of the dojo's garden.

"Tyson, that was a bit harsh, don't you think?" Ray said, as he stood too. "She's worried about a member of her pack, for crying out loud."

"She shouldn't worry about Kai. He's just a little sourpuss who wouldn't give a damn if one of us went missing."

"You know that last statement isn't true, Tyson." Ray pointed out. "But I'm going to look for her, just in case something bad happens."

"What bad thing could happen to her?" Max asked.

"I wasn't talking about something bad happening to her; I was talking about everyone else in the city."

"Point taken."

The two teens rounded the corner of the busy streets to come face to face with a five-star, luxury hotel. Kai proceeded to walk inside and Tala reluctantly followed.

"A five-star hotel? Why're we here?" Tala asked quietly, looking around nervously at all the rich folk.

Kai didn't reply, only to continue to walk towards the lift. Tala walked inside and Kai pressed a button marked 'P'.

Penthouse, probably. I didn't know Kai was rich. But I guess that being the son of Voltaire has its perks…

Tala was pushed away from his thoughts when the lift doors opened with a 'ping!'. He followed the taller teen into a small lobby which stood before a pair of double doors. Kai swiped a card over a black surface on the wall by the doors and opened the doors, Tala of course following him inside. His eyes widened at the size of the room; or should I say 'rooms'.

There had to be at least five doors, leading to other rooms, connected to the main living area, which in itself, could've held their cabin if you tripled the wooden house's size.

"Fucking hell Kai." Tala breathed. "How big do you want this place?"

Kai shrugged and wound his arms round Tala's waist, pulling Tala's back hard against his chest. He nuzzled the redhead's neck, licking the skin just below his earlobe. Tala moaned and his breath hitched.

"K-Kai…"

A/N- I'm considering another lemon (for Kai and Tala, of course), and if u want one, then start your review with 'LEMON'. I will answer reviews next chapter, cos I'm feeling rough at the moment…
