Chapter 10 Promise

"Damn how are we suppose to get passed this?" Tala asked as he surveyed the city from the roof of a building. "Like how we've always done it" Kai answered as he also looked over the wreckage of the once beautiful city. "There is something going on down to the south" Bryan announced as both he and Ian ran towards them.

"Something in the south?" Kai asked a bewildered look on his face. "Yeah seems like there is a large force down there and everyone is freaking out" "Who? The Chinese?" Kai asked "No the Russians their freaking out rumor I heard is that it's reinforcements from the south and some from Japan but I'm not sure it's just what I heard" Bryan answered "Well for sure it's the Chinese southern forces but the Japanese being here is not exactly a possibility" Ian said looking around. "Where's Spencer and Alex?" he asked noticing the missing pair.

"Send them to find some kind of shelter and some food" Tala answered with a sly grin "What jealous that Alex might take away Spencer?" "Pfft as if" Ian huffed folding his arms across his chest stubbornly. "Aww shrimp it's okay I'm sure he doesn't mind sharing" Bryan laughed making Kai smirk at the joke. "Shut up you prick. You have no idea what you're talking about" he pouted. "Alright drop it, your causing a commotion and you're going to bring us attention we don't need" Kai frowned as he noticed some of the Russian soldiers heading their way.

Bryan stopped teasing but his smirk was kept in place as he went and sat down beside Tala. "Why didn't you take me to see what was going on?" Tala asked looking at him with hurt blue eyes. Bryan sighed keeping an eye on the soldiers as he answered the question "Because I didn't want you to get tired Tala. You've been exhausted lately and you've even been acting...I don't know but it's not normal." Tala looked down as if he was considering something when Kai spoke "Come on I can see them coming." They both stood and followed Ian and Kai off the roof to the ground to meet with Spencer and Alex.

"What did you find?" "Found the perfect place inside a temple. Everything else was damaged or burned. It seems they did not touch the places of worship" Alex informed pointing in the direction that the temple was at. "What about food?" Bryan asked "There's plenty in the storage room" Spencer answered seeing the momentary relief that passed through the moonlight eyes. "Okay we rest for a while but I'm not staying the entire night there. They're already at the palace..." Kai trailed off as he looked away from his companions in the direction of the palace 'Rei...'

"Well let's get going the faster we get to the temple, the sooner we get to crash Voltaire's party" Bryan said as he turned to the direction of the temple. Everyone nodded and followed Alex and Spencer to the temple.

Tala blinked as they entered the temple it was very formal and very well decorated even the Buddha at the back of the room he could tell was made of pure gold. "Impressive isn't it?" Bryan asked wrapping his arms around Tala's waist. "Yeah it is" he said in awe as his eyes roamed around the room. "Come on we can't dwell right now we need to rest and eat" Kai said as he looked at Spencer who got the message. The blond led the way to the back room where he opened a door that had food and a sleeping area.

"Okay rest, eat, do whatever you want but keep it down and don't do anything stupid" Kai said as he walked out of the room closing the door and going to sit in the front room.

Tala sighed and grabbed some bread and a pitcher of water and cup and headed to the door. He stopped seeing the looks he was getting from his lover and friends. "Just going to make sure he eats something" he said and walked out.

"What do you want?" Kai asked as soon as he heard the soft foot falls of the redhead. "Just making sure you eat something" he answered setting the bread and water down on the floor. Kai looked at Tala with slight puzzlement "Tala what's wrong with you?" he asked taking the water the redhead handed him. Tala looked down as he took a bite of the bread. "Tala answer me what is wrong with you? You've been throwing up in the mornings and throughout the day you're extra tired" Kai said putting down his water and turning to look straight at his friend. "I can't tell you Kai. You'll just think I'm a freak" Tala whispered, Kai sighed and reached out with his hand and touched the redhead's cheek tenderly making the other look up. "Tala you are one, so something more isn't going to make a difference" Kai said in an amused tone.

Tala half sobbed and laughed at Kai's bad attempt at a joke "Kai please promise me that you won't tell Bryan" he said scooting closer to him. Kai nodded "Okay" "I'm pregnant Kai. I don't know how but I am. That's why I've been acting weird" Tala whispered to him his eyes tearing up. "Tala you need to tell Bryan this. It is his child right?" he asked wiping away a tear that had fallen from one of the blue eyes. "Yes he's the only one I've ever been with but Kai you can't tell him. He'll leave me Kai, he'll think I'm a freak" he sobbed wrapping his arms around Kai who stiffened at the sudden contact.

"Tala he's not going to leave. If he does love you than he wont leave, he may be mad at you for not telling him sooner but that's it" Kai said feeling sympathy for his friend as he rubbed circles on his back. Tala sniffled and turned to face Kai "But..." "But nothing Tala you've got to tell him. It's his right you know. He helped make that baby, also" he reprimanded successfully shutting him up. Tala sighed and wiped his eyes of the tears "I'll tell him...after all this fiasco though" he added thinking about what Bryan's reaction would be. Kai nodded also thinking about what Bryan would do. "Now eat Kai so we can go and save your kitten" Tala teased pulling away from him and taking a drink of water. Kai glared mockingly at him as he took a bite of bread.

"You all ready to leave?" Kai asked as he entered the room with Tala behind him. "We've been waiting for you. Judging by your look Tala made you eat a lot" Ian answered smirking, Tala smiled a bit as Kai glared at their short member "Yeah whatever." "Okay well let's go. Time to go and crash a party" Tala said smiling like there was no tomorrow. "Bryan to something about your lover he's scaring everyone" Ian said backing away from the smiling Tala. "Shut up Ian before I step on you" Tala threatened the short teen "Oh stuff girly boy" he retaliated with a finality. "Why you little..." "Tala drop it you can kill the shrimp later. Now we need to leave" Kai interrupted stepping in between them to make his point.

Tala pouted but turned around and headed out the door "Well then let's leave" "Right behind you Tala" Bryan saluted as they all filed out checking the corners for any soldiers or people.

"Hmm what this? What's wrong Emperor you don't like what we've done to your city? Well I'm sorry there is nothing we can do about it now" Voltaire said an evil tone to his voice. Rei slowly looked up his golden eyes dull and tired. "Sir what do you plan to do with him?" Boris asked "Will you kill him or let him live?" "Oh he will live he needs to see what I'll do to this country" Voltaire said looking at Rei and finally noticing something about the neko-jin.

"What is this, the great Reimond Kon pregnant?" he asked moving closer. The guards let go of Rei but did not move from his sides. "Don't you dare touch me, you fucking bastard!" Rei shouted moving away from the hand that was reaching out for him. "You carry my grandson's child" he stated more than asked Rei said nothing and hugged him stomach protectively. "This is even better now I will be able to mold someone perfectly to take control I resign" Voltaire said thought fully.

"I will not let you touch my child! He is mine and no one else's I will rip out your throat and heart before I let you touch him!" Rei said as he tried to move away from the guards who were trying to restrain him. "Get away from me! Don't touch me! Ahh!" Rei screamed as blinding hot pain shot through his abdomen when one of the guards pushed him to the floor. "Ahh! It hurts!" he sobbed as he felt blinding pain in his abdomen. He then felt something wet coming in between his legs and remembered through his haze of pain that when that happened it meant that the baby was about to be born. "No please" he sobbed as another contraction made him stay still.

"Boris go bring a doctor I think it is time I hold my great grandson" Voltaire said deviously. Boris nodded and quickly went to fetch the Russian medics.

"Sir we apprehended these two a while ago" a soldier informed as Boris walked by them. "That's fine where are the medics?" "Down that way sir" one soldier said and Boris went on his way.

Max and Tyson looked at each other and shrugged "That dude creeps me out" Tyson whispered to his best friend. "Yeah..." Max trailed off as he saw Boris coming and with a few medics.

"The Emperor is about to give birth to..." they both and looked at each other in panic "Rei!" They both stood up and pushed the soldiers that were guarding them aside. "Rei we're coming!" Tyson yelled as they both ran towards where they could see Boris' cape billowing with his steps.

"There" Boris pointed to where Rei was writhing on the ground in pain. The medics nodded and moved towards him. "No get away from me! Don't touch my child!" Rei sobbed as he saw the medics coming towards him. "We're trying to help you" one said slowly kneeling beside him. "No I don't care you're going to hurt my baby! Get away!" Rei cried his golden eyes shedding even more tears. "Rei!" Max yelled and sprinted across the floor pushing aside a couple of soldiers. "Oh my god Rei! We thought...Oh my god" Max sobbed as he kneeled beside Rei "Max tell them to get away tell them to leave me alone" he sobbed as he reached for the blond's hand.

"We're trying to help him. He needs a caesarean otherwise he and the child will die" the doctor said calmly as he removed some of things he would need. "Did you hear that Rei they're trying to help you" Max soothed seeing the doctor's sincere expression. Rei nodded grimacing as another contraction hit. Max nodded and the doctor poured a liquid into a cup and leaned over Rei "You're going to have to drink this" he said "No I'm not drinking anything that will kill me!" Rei yelled squirming away from the doctor only to moan in pain. "Just cut him open already" Voltaire said impatiently.

"I'm sorry Lord Voltaire but he must drink this otherwise he and the child will die" the doctor said not looking at Voltaire. The man just growled and turned away from the site.

"You hear that Rei if you don't drink it you'll die" Max said as Tyson kneeled beside them. "Yeah Rei come on buddy you can do it" Tyson said smiling a bit to encourage him. Rei nodded drank all the liquid that was in cup almost coughing it up. Rei laid back and sighed when he felt a cool towel on his forehead.

"Rei you okay?" Max asked as he saw Rei blinking sleepily. "I'm so tired...Kai...please..." he trailed off as he fell asleep. "What is wrong with him?" Tyson asked ready to punch the man's face in. "It was a sleeping herb drink. We needed him asleep so that he wouldn't do anything he might regret later" the doctor said calmly as he began to remove the robe and tunics.

A cry broke through the hall as a new life was brought to earth.

Voltaire turned to see what had happened and smirked when he saw a perfectly healthy boy being cleaned by the other medics while the other's sewed Rei back up.

"Ah bring the child here. And take him away I have no need of him" he said waving at Rei. "And make sure that his little friends are put somewhere away from him" he added glancing over at Tyson and Max. "What? No you can't do that!" Tyson yelled as he punched one of the soldiers only to have two appear in his place. Max was pulled to his feet from where he was still kneeling on the floor. "No let go! Rei!" Tyson yelled seeing a soldier pick Rei up.

"Take them down to the dungeons!" Boris called to the soldiers who saluted and made their way to the dungeons. "Now what do we do Lord?" he asked "Start spreading our forces send them down to relay a message to the Chinese people that I am their ruler now" Voltaire answered as he cradled the sleeping baby in his arms. "So who does he look like?" Boris asked curiousity beating his stubbornness. "Like my grandson and the neko-jin. Oh well he'll have to do" he said nodded when the soldiers brought out some servants who had been hiding in the palace. "Sir we found these servants in the kitchens" one said "Make them do something and you girl come here you will be taking care of this baby" Voltaire pointed at a girl with dark blue hair and astonishing emerald eyes.

The girl took the baby that Voltaire handed to her and looked down at the baby and smiled at the bay's peaceful sleeping face. "What is your name?" Boris asked "Mariam" she answered "You will take care of this child day and night. Got that?" "Yes sir" she whispered looking down at the ground. "For now just go to the kitchens" Boris ordered nodding towards a soldier to follow her.

Mariam nodded and turned and walked back to the kitchens.

"We're in. Be quiet" Kai whispered sternly as they all climbed through an open and unguarded window. "Okay don't want to get caught now would we" Tala whispered sarcastically getting a glare from Kai. Tala remained quiet as they walked down the hall only to run into a fork in the hall. "Well now what do we do?" Alexandre asked looking from one corridor to the other. "All the halls lead to the entrance hall eventually so we'll split up. Me, Tala and Bryan will take the right while you three take the left" Kai said quickly. They all nodded and went on their way.

"What did you find?" Bryan asked as they met up outside the entrance hall. "Nothing but we still haven't gone down to the dungeons" Spencer said the others nodding their agreement. "Okay let's hurry we can't trust this darkness" Tala said as he looked around cautiously. "Okay let's move it" Kai said and they slowly crept through the entrance to down a corridor that led down to the dungeons.

"It's creepy down here" Ian said as he shivered in the darkness. "Ian shut up" Bryan growled as they came to a landing and they all looked around "Great more corridors" Tala whined softly getting a snicker from Alexandre and Ian. "Shut it" Kai said as he looked down the halls for any sign of movement. "Okay we're not separating got it. We're checking from corridor to corridor" Kai finally thought as he looked around the dark dungeon. "Okay that works let's move" Bryan said as he pointed to the nearest one.

They all went in hands one their weapons ready to cut down any soldier that popped out. "Nothing" Kai said stating the obvious when they found no one. "Okay well let's move to the next one" Tala said as he turned around and gasped as he instinctively blocked a sword with his own. Bryan shoved the man away when Tala began to weaken and pushed him against the wall.

"General Kuznetsov!" the soldier said startled "Yes I'm back from the dead and now it's your turn" and he sliced the man's throat without a moment's hesitation. "Kuznetsov you idiot" Kai said "We could have used that idiot for some information" "Yeah even better find out where they're keeping Kai's kitten" Tala teased this time getting a growl of annoyance from Kai "Tala drop it while you're ahead." Tala sighed and pouted but shrugged it off. "Okay well let's keep moving" Ian said as he began to move the way they came.

Everyone followed and moved to the other getting the same thing as before on the third time they came across a couple of teens in one of the cells. "Well, well, well if it isn't the pig and bouncy ball" Tala teased remembering the two hyper teens from when they had stayed in the palace. "Shut up! What gives you the idea you can come and make fun of us" Tyson growled. "The fact that we got the keys to this cell and we can't to rip Boris' tongue out and skewer Voltaire's heart out" Bryan answered brandishing the keys he had found on the guy he had killed.

"What do you mean?" Max asked before Tyson could say anything. "That is none of your concern" Kai answered quickly "Yeah, by the way where are they keeping Kai's kitten?" Tala asked this time avoiding a swipe from Kai. "Kitten?" Tyson asked confused "Yeah Rei" Tala answered acting like the whole world was supposed to know that. "Um we don't know. They took him away when he gave birth to his baby" Max answered "Though he is suppose to be in the dungeons somewhere." 'Baby..." Kai thought bewildered but shrugged it off having more important things to think about. "Let them out" he ordered and Bryan nodded inserting the key and unlocking the cell door. "Now shut up and come with us" Bryan growled at the two.

Tyson and Max nodded as they followed the Russians into another hall this time moving faster, well Kai was. "Oh my..." Kai turned when he heard Max and his eyes widened as he saw who was in the first cell. He didn't know how he had missed it but was glad Max had seen. "Rei..." he whispered and moved to the cell slowly. Bryan handed Kai the keys and pushed everyone away. Max and Tyson looked bewildered but decided not to do anything to get their heads swiped off. They had both seen the blood dripping from Bryan's sword.

"Rei..." Kai whispered as he slowly opened the cell door and walked in. He kneeled down and gathered the unconscious neko-jin in his arms. He looked the neko-jin over, his eyes landing on the blood that had escaped the cut on his abdomen. "Rei please wake up" he whispered more urgently as he felt for pulse. He sighed feeling it but still wanted the neko-jin to awake. "Rei please..I...I...love you" he whispered kissing the raven hair as he caressed his face.

Rei's eyelids fluttered and slowly opened his throat releasing a pained moan. Kai watched as Rei's hands went down to his stomach. His eyes widened in panic and he began to sob "My baby, my Zhen they took him! They took him away from me!" "Rei calm down who took what?" Kai asked startled as Rei began to thrash in his arms. Rei looked up into crimson eyes that were shining with worry and began to sob even more "Kai...Kai...you came for me" he said through his tears as he lifted his hands and touched Kai's face making sure it wasn't just an illusion of his mind and pain.

"I''m real Rei" Kai said kissing Rei's hand and squeezing it. "Kai...they took him. Voltaire took my baby he took your son" Rei sobbed as he sat up and with difficulty wrapped his arms around Kai's neck. "My son?" "Yes your son. I never told you well how could I? You weren't here" Rei said his golden eyes still shedding tears. "I'll find him Rei. And I'll bring him to you" Kai promised as he slowly stood, Rei in his arms.

He slowly walked out and saw Bryan hugging Tala to him and his hand running over Tala's abdomen that he had just noticed was bigger.

Tala smiled at Kai as he approached with the neko-jin in his arms. "I see you found him. About time maybe now you wont be such a sourpuss" Tala teased. Kai glared at Tala trying burn holes into his face. Rei smiled at hearing the other tease Kai but didn't say anything. "I need you to take care of him. I need to take care of some business with my grandfather" Kai said moving to hand Rei to Bryan.

"No don't leave me!" Rei panicked tightening his hold on Kai's neck. "Rei I'll come back to you I promise and with our baby. Now let go the faster I leave the faster I'll come back to you" he said slowly setting the neko's feet on the floor. Rei looked into the crimson orbs and began to cry as he nodded. "I promise Rei, only death could separate me from you" he said caressing Rei's cheek tenderly "And death isn't going to win." Rei nodded wiping away his tears and gasped lightly as he felt Kai's lips over his own. Rei closed his eyes as he kissed back relishing in the feel of his love's lips on his own. Kai reluctantly pulled away from the kiss looking straight into Rei's golden orbs "I love you" he whispered and handed Rei to Bryan who took careful measures to not hurt the neko-jin. "Stay here no one wonders off. Got it!" he said glaring at Ian, Max and Tyson who all nodded.

"By the way Kai you were right" Tala said smiling at Kai. "I always am" he answered back and smiled at the redhead and quickly went on his way.
