Ok, I'm feeling much better now and of course now I've got a cold, great…

On a lighter note here's the new chapter:

ShadedRogue: glad you liked it

Tai-writer: wow that was long. Rika's ok, she's not the best, now Leon is the best (hugs Leon) sorry I'm to blame for the emails, life is too hectic.

CucumberPickles: THANK YOU! Someone who agrees it WAS BORING! Ok Kai is not going to end up bedridden, because I'm going to make something happen (evil smile), and because that's lame.

Lunar Fire: but I don't like it when Kai's OOC, hold on, he didn't do much in the last chap did he.

AngeloflLight: maybe you should become a poet… (Gets hit with cricket bat)

Mrsalexwatkins: Thanx for review!

Ghostymangarocker: my head stopped spinning once I had Leon going because then cloning was done and all, thanx for the review! I have continued.

Chapter 22

Tala opened his eyes and stared.

The room was just a blur, everything wasn't making any sense, and no matter how he looked at it nothing seems straight.

The door of the white walled room opened, Tala didn't move but closed his eyes and listened as someone sighed and said, "He was awake, just for a little while, then he slipped back"

The voice was soft and caring, but he could not place it, "Is there any sign of him waking soon?"

That was Mr Dickinson, Tala felt himself float as they spoke, their voices floating over him.

"No, I'm afraid he may never wake"

There was silence and Mr Dickinson said, "Someone needs to tell Kai"

"I will, if you don't mind"

Tala suddenly felt his heart beat faster, Kai!

Kai was here and alive, oh how happy he felt, but he must wake, Tala knew he must wake to tell him the cure.

He forced open his one eye and stared at Mr Dickinson.

"Tala, can you hear me?"

Tala groaned and closed his eye, "Tala stay with me, Tala"

His voice was frantic and Tala opened his mouth, the old man leaned close to him to hear, feeling the teen's breath on him.

"Leon…feet…formula…Kai…cure…p-"

But Tala had slipped back into the subconscious.

Mr Dickinson looked up at Connor White and frowned, "Get Scot".


Voltaire smiled; soon everything would be in place.

Boris stood next to him and also smiled a smile of pure madness.

"When is Kai going to be dead?"

"Five months sir"

"I want Leon Boris"

"I understand"

"But I want you to send Azura"

"Sir?"

"She knows what to do; she is well trained and ready Boris"

"But sir-"

"No buts Boris, you failed me once before and you were lucky to survive, don't fail me again".

"No sir, I will send Azura".

"Sleep dreams Boris"

There was no response as Boris walked away deep into the corridors of the Old Russian abbey.


"His feet?"

Scot and everyone were around a huge round table inside Scot's house.

Vince and Luc still weren't seen but it seemed to Rika he wasn't at all worried?

"That doesn't make any sense"

Eve Riley sat with Leon on her lap, Rika trying not to stare at him and him not staring at her.

"Eve, has Leon got any stranger markings on his feet then?"

"No, not that I've seen", she shook her head.

"Take your shoes off Leon".

Rei watched as the minute Leon removed his shoes and socks, on his pale white feet were silky skin, nothing out of the ordinary, except for the tiny prick on his heels.

"Scot, look here?"

Rei bent down and pointed out the prick, Scot bent down and frowned, "odd, Monica can you get me my magnifying glass please".

"There's more, see", Rei pointed out a sequence of pricks, all bumpy, small enough to hide, except from neko-jiin eyes.

"A pen please".

Tyson handed him a pen and paper and Rei wrote down what he saw and handed it to Scot, he was finished looking at the pricks with his magnifying glass.

"It's a formula".

Scot sounded astonished.

"We should get that to the hospital", assumed Kenny.

"Right, Max takes this to the hospital and fined Dr Richards"

Max nodded and Kenny and Tyson followed.

Leon looked up and Eve replaced his shoes on.

"Does this mean Kai has a chance?"

Rika looked down at him and smiled; kneeling where Eve was to do his shoes she held his small hand and said, "It means he will live".

Leon smiled and hugged Rika.


Kai slept.

His face peaceful.

His soul though wasn't.

It was being devoured by a creature to powerful, so evil.

He winced in pain and whispered for no one to hear, "I will live".


Azura watched as Boris entered her room.

The teen was dressed in black; her hair was deep indigo, her eyes a pale blue, her face pale.

"Funny", she said, Boris looked up from the doorway; he'd just told her about Voltaire plan and her wanting to get Leon.

"That Kai is still alive" she continued.

She was putting on her black coat, her hair down her back reaching to bottom.

"He does not want you to kill Kai, only get Leon, alive"

She placed her black wrist bands on and snorted, "I know, the great Kai himself must die alone".

"This something not to laugh about, this is a quick kidnap, nothing much, no shooting, no blood, nothing, discreet, like you were trained to be".

"Have I never let you down", she faced him now, she was slim, a perfectly built body, her hair was so long and thick, if it wasn't for her eyes you would never stop staring at it.

"No, but that does not mean you can start now".

Azura stared at Boris with a humored expression and said as she tightened her belt on her cargos.

"I was being sarcastic Boris"

There was no answer as she came close to him, he smiled down at her and played with her hair, he smelt her rich fragrance, and he removed some hair from her neck and kissed it softly.

Azura grimaced and pulled back, "I'm not your toy Boris, not now, not ever"

And she wisped past; Boris smiled and watched as the perfect weapon, the perfect assassin left.
