Chapter 26
Leon stared at the black hole that was the night time sky, through the locked windows it looked like paradise.
He shifted his gaze to the full moon and rubbed his eyes, he was so tired; he'd been wondering whether Kai was worried, whether they were looking for him or even cared.
Settling down on the cloth nest he'd made he yawned, the door then opened and Azura stood there.
She was dressed differently too, she wore loose clothes; something you'd sleep in, her hair was completely wet and loose.
She smiled at him softly before closing the door she said, "I thought you'd be asleep".
Leon shook rubbing his eyes and looked up at her and asked, "Why did you come back?"
"Because you asked me too"
"So if I asked you to let me go, would you?"
"No, but I can take you outside for a while before-"
"Before what?"
"Nothing, its nothing, c'mon you can stay with me, Voltaire wont mind".
Leon hesitated before taking her hand and followed her through the hallways.
Ray was now genuinely worried.
He was worried for Leon, for Kai, for Tala and for Rika; she was taking all the things that were happening extremely hard.
Ray stood alone in the cafeteria by the large windows; the sun was high in the sky, next to him stood Tyson, Max and Kenny, Hilary not far behind.
"Hey, when do you think he'll be back?"
"By supper I hope", grumbled Tyson.
Hilary hit Tyson over the head, Ray ignored them, Kenny looked up at Ray and said, "He'll be back…he always is".
"I know what you mean, he'll go for hours and show up just on time, but its different now Chief, he's sick dyeing even and there's nothing we can do about it", said Max.
There was a pause of eerie silence and Ray nodded to himself, "Maybe there is something we can do"
"Huh"
"What's that Ray"
Ray glanced at them all and smiled looking back into the sun, "Even if he does die, we should always respect him and never lose hope in what he does, because I doubt, he ever lost hope in us".
There was another pause and Tyson grabbed his cap of his head and said looking into the sun, "Come back Kai, and in one piece please".
Ray smiled and nodded, "Just come back".
Kai and Tala looked up at the Hiwatari mansion.
What a beauty, it was old and crumbling, Kai closed his eyes as his former selves memories washed over him, he shook all over.
"Hey, it's ok; you can do this, your Kai after all".
Kai nodded and led Tala to a secret entrance.
It was stone wall; the rocks had come lose when Kai was small and had used it to escape a few times.
Kai moved them and slid through, with Tala following suit.
They were in the northern garden, a garden long forgotten and over grown with plants.
Kai and Tala hid in the bushes.
Leon was being led outside.
Azura had a feeling this was the right thing to do; she hadn't been here in years and felt a strange pulling here.
It was the northern garden.
Overrun, with green Leon smiled and ran around.
Azura had the sinking feeling she was being watched, and she didn't like it either.
Kai and Tala held their breath as they heard someone came their way, their eyes widened as they saw the girl they had both known and loved.
A girl who had changed their lives…it was the girl of Tala dreams, the girl of Kai's childhood.
"Faye", they whispered, and they almost jumped when they saw Leon.
Leon was running around, he was overwhelmed with the place.
He stopped suddenly and looked at Azura; she was staring at a certain part of the garden.
"Faye?"
She turned to see him, confused.
"Its, nothing, c'mon".
Leon held Azura's hand as she guided him into the next garden.
Kai and Tala stared at each other and they blinked a couple of times, what the hell was going on here? Something was really wrong here.
They kneeled in their positions for a while, taking in what they just saw.
"Kai"
"Yeah"
"I thought she was dead"
There was no answer.
Kai stared at the spot where he'd seen Faye.
He closed his eyes and breathed in deeply and said, "We've got to get Leon", Tala nodded and they both crawled to the two that had disappeared earlier.
"Faye? What's wrong?"
Azura looked down at Leon and smiled, "Nothing", but she still looked around, positive they were being watched.
"Azura!"
Azura suddenly turned around to see Boris standing, arms folded, an unhappy look on his face.
"Kai and Tala were spotted in the gardens, keep Leon close by", Boris soon walked away.
Azura looked around again, positive she was being watched still, Leon came running up to her showing her a slug he'd found.
Azura watched the trees and bushes, and then she spotted it, the blue grey hair, and the red hair.
Moving slowly towards them she felt her heart bash against her chest.
She moved the bushes away, Tala and Kai knelt there, their faces shocked, identical to Azura's.
Leon came running up; Azura was staring at some bushes.
"Lookie Faye, look at what-"
He stopped in mid sentence and stared at Tala and Kai, happiness, flowed through him as he hugged Kai around the neck.
Kai stood up, picked up Leon.
Leon looked at Kai, worry written over his face.
Leon stared at Kai's eyes; he saw something, a light going out slowly, "Kai?"
"I'm fine", a hoarse voice answered.
"You shouldn't be here", Leon watched Azura say, and looking hurt at Kai.
"Leon shouldn't be here, and neither should you", answered Kai, with the same hurt look.
"It was my choice to be here, not yours"
"I'm here now"
Azura huffed and turned away, "Boris is coming", she said quietly.
"Well, done Azura, hello Kai, Tala"
Kai put Leon down.
He began to run at Boris, fists clenched, and passed out.
TBC…
REVIEW!
Note: Leon is actually a girl's name
