MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Everyone else gasps in disbelief I'm going to write the fifth chapter now and then I'll have to modify the new story I'm going to type and then I'll be writing out the fourth chapter for training and then I'll have to study. I'm real tired as you can see. Anywayz, before the story let me thank you guys!
Devlinn Reiko, Thanks for reminding me else I may have dithered some more over whether to change this chapter again. Anywayz, I hope you like it and as you know, Bryan's not dead . . . yet . . .
Life sucks, get used to it, I know . . . I'm late, sorry I just wanted to edit the juxtapositioning of events. I'm still not entirely satisfied but I hope you'll like it!
Sleepy Sheep Guardian, I know cliffie's are evil I picked them up from a certain evil person . . . she writes cliffie's a lot and I complain a lot about them . . . if you can't guess who she is, I'll tell you next chapter. isn't that a cliffie in itself?
I luv Kai, Awwwwww... Don't cry Tala ... I mean I still have to torture you but still don't cry... turns to Rei Don't worry, you'll have a central role soon. In this story Kai gets . . . why don't you read the fic instead of having me spoil it.
ME, Thanks for the review. Tala will have a big role to play as you'll see soon enough . . .
Atealia, Woah! Thanks! I mean, I didn't realise people would like it so much. There is however no new poetry in this chapter but not to worry the next chapter will have some. Anywayz, happy reading and I hope to be able to read some of your new chapters soon.
LDyFiCtIoN , Bryan's not dead. Yet. Hehe. Thanks for reading the story and yes Tala is going to be tormented further but luckily he will be saved. At least I hope I won't be too cruel.
Android 71, Hey thanks! I really hope you like this chapter as well! Oh, and write more 'k?
Red Countess, Don't worry too much about the defective website. It happens to me a lot too. Anywayz, I'm really glad you enjoyed the last chapter. I hope you'll enjoy this one too!
JuliTina, Thanks for the great review! As for the pairings . . . let's just say that it promises to be complicated. MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
If I missed out anyone could you remind me, I tend to miss things as most people would realise by now. Shuffles feet sheepishly
. . . Silenced . . .
Golden eyes traced each printed word on the paper.
"Dearest SnowTiger,
What can I say to such genius? It's wonderful. I almost forgot all my woes reading them. I... I feel very fortunate to have a friend like you. We are friends right? This poem is dedicated to you,
One- winged Angel
Walking the steps alone.
Knowing the path's my own.
No one to reach and call my name.
Oh Heaven, I can't fly.
How can I even try?
I am but a one- winged angel.
If I was meant to soar,
Why do I lack one more?
One blessed spirit to hold me.
I am from Heaven barred.
One blessing for the scarred-
Is one wing's enough to cry on.
But as I weep, I wait.
There's always Heaven's gate,
And another one-winged angel.
Do you think two one- winged angels will ever be able to meet? Do you think they'll ever reach heaven? Forget it. Just ignore my ramblings. Please send me a poem. I live each day for them. I mean it a sense you won't believe.
Your Admirer, WhiteWolf."
Rei reached the end of the last e- mail he ever received from WhiteWolf. It had been days since he had sent his own reply. There was no response. That never happened before. They always replied to each other within twelve hours at most. What was wrong? Could he have . . .
Rei shook his head, refusing to think further of the possibility. Sure, WiseWolf had a lot of pain in him expressed in his poetry but he would never . . .
Raven dark hair swirled angrily in the air as Rei shook his head again.
"What's wrong?"
Rei spun around surprised.
Crimson eyes, silver- blue hair.
Rei relaxed.
"It's you." Rei purred.
Kai twitched ever so slightly at the sound.
"What's bothering you?" Kai asked again regaining his composure.
Rei's golden eyes briefly flicked to the page in his hand.
"It's nothing." Rei answered briefly.
"Don't lie to me." Kai growled.
"There isn't any problem." Rei repeated, irked by Kai's accusation.
Kai snorted in disbelief.
Amber eyes burned with fury.
"It isn't any of your business! My affairs never are and never will be any of your concern!"
Pain flashed in crimson eyes and Rei felt an instant pang of guilt.
"Kai . . ." Rei began.
Ruby eyes hardened once more.
"You're right. It never was any of my business." Kai replied shortly.
Before Rei could reply, Kai briskly left the room, leaving Rei to hate himself.
===============================
Tala lived the nightmare once more.
Blinding lights obscured his vision. From a distance he seemed to hear voices . . . very official and business like. Dull pain arched about his body and he felt it spasm. It was like so many of the other times. Kept in suspended animation while chemicals flowed through his veins. His mind broken and reshaped into a machine. Suspended without desire, devoid of feeling. Soulless.
A chilling numbness bore into his skull. The distant memory of a long, needle flashed briefly in his mind. Were they altering his brain? Should he try to stop them? Yet it didn't hurt all that much . . . What did it matter? He didn't matter. He couldn't care any less if he died right now. Why should Borris' scientists bother him? In a haze of detachment, Tala imagined himself convulsing in a few seconds of mortal agony before finally being liberated by death.
The drug lulled away the ancient fears. For once, Tala dreamt of pleasant dreams.
===============================
Kenny made sure that the door was securely locked before he went over to the oak table in the study room.
"About time too." Dizzi muttered, just a trifle offended.
"I'm sorry Dizzi, I have to leave you locked up here. You're far too important now to be lugged about by me all the time."
"You could have visited more often." Dizzi replied rather pointedly.
"And raise Tyson and the others' suspicion?" Kenny replied slightly annoyed. "Besides, it's not as if I don't miss you." Kenny added softly.
"I missed you too." Dizzi confessed.
There was a moment of silence between them.
"Right. Erm . . . So are you ready to do this Dizzi?" Kenny asked a trifle awkwardly, breaking the silence.
"Have you known me to be otherwise?" Dizzi answered, pretending to be insulted.
Kenny grinned.
"Now is as good a time as any Dizzi."
The screen flickered for a few seconds before it finally settled on a pulsating blue.
"Ready when you are Chief."
Kenny smiled.
"Thanks." Kenny replied with more than a hint of affection.
With hardly a pause, Kenny's nimble fingers typed out his message in the message box on the screen.
'The connection is secured Mr. Dickinson.'
Kenny lifted his fingers from the keys and waited for the reply.
The words flowed swiftly in the message box.
'Wonderful. How is the team doing?'
'Just fine Mr. Dickinson.'
'That's good to hear.'
'Kai was late while getting lunch today.'
There was a slight pause before the reply appeared on the screen.
'Did he say why?'
'He said something about taking a longer route.'
Another pause.
'Has he behaved in a suspicious manner lately?'
Kenny paused to reflect on the past few days. Kai had been trying to get them alone together ever since that incident when he had returned late with the lunch.
'A little. You suspect him?'
'We can't take risks Kenny.'
'He left Biovolt for us.' Kenny typed out, coming to his team leader's defence.
'He left the team for Biovolt.' was the simple reply.
'Kai is not a spy.' Kenny typed as he raged silently inside.
The words that appeared were not reassuring.
'I hope you're right. Borris has been spotted in Japan.'
Borris . . .
Before Kenny could type a reply a second message appeared.
'There's only one conceivable reason for his presence here,'
Kenny waited dry- mouthed for the explanation.
'The Blade Breakers, all of you.'
===============================
"Tyson behave!" Max exclaimed laughing.
"Training's finally over and you won't even play with me?" Tyson complained trying once more to put his arm around Max's slim waist.
"What about the others?" Max protested dancing out of Tyson's reach.
"What about the others? We're in your bathroom and the door's locked, they won't barge in."
"They might hear." Max pointed out in a whisper.
"We'll be quiet." Tyson whispered his tone soft and smouldering.
"Let me at least bathe first." Max pleaded bringing a thick green towel before him.
"I have a better idea, " Tyson replied, his brown eyes twinkling, "Let's bathe together."
"Tyson . . ." Max tried to protest as he retreated back from Tyson's advancing steps.
Max's leg collided into the bathtub and he fell suddenly into the smooth marble tub. As Max tired to regain his bearings, a warm, longing gaze trapped his turquoise eyes.
"Max . . ."
Desire purred in the whisper.
Max was in definite trouble.
===============================
Borris watched silently over the limp figure over the operation table. Thin, cruel lips formed a sick smile.
"The enhancements are finally complete Tala." Borris sang smugly to the unconscious youth.
"Soon you'll serve the greater purpose of Biovolt, my dear Tala." Borris crooned as his black, gloved hand stroked Tala's lifeless red hair with revolting tenderness.
"My assassin." Borris finished, his smile broadening.
===============================
Hm . . . Can any of you guess what the next chapter will be like? I'd like to see how close you'd be.
Love,
