Chapter 1"But tell me?"
"No!"
Flashback Tyson's pov
Rai walked through the door soaked to the skin at his side was a barely moving figure Rai had his hand around the figures waist trying to hold up the figure as it obviously couldn't support it's self "Rai.. are. you..." then I saw that the figure that he was supporting was a barely conscious Kai "what the hell happened" I looked up at Rai's slit like eyes "shutdup and help me to get Kai to our room" I looked at our frightfully pale captain and said "shouldn't we take him to the hospital" a hand jerked forward and grabbed my collar dragging me closer to the pair. I looked up into the burning eyes of Kai as he growled, "I don't need a hospital."
"oookay" I stuttered as we helped Kai to his room as we lay Kai on the bed I noticed that he was out cold "what should we do" Rai shook his head as if he was trying to clear a mist "go and get some alcohol and bandages, ask chief where to get them I'll wash the wound across his chest and arms and then all we can do is wrap him up in bandages and wait"
End of flash back
When I'd come back with the stuff and the chief, Rai had refused to let us in even locking the door after he'd grabbed the stuff "But chief's got first aid training come on Rai" the door opened to reveal a angry Rai "here" he said as he shoved the bowl of blooded water into my hands "Kai's wrapped up don't unwrap the bandages it'll restart the bleeding... I'm going out for a walk I'll be back late"
I opened my eyes grimacing as the harsh lights stung my eyes I knew that I had to bandage myself up to stop the wound from bleeding. I rolled of the bed landing with a grunt onto my hands and knees as I slowly straightened out, I noticed Max come into the room and hurry towards me "Oh god Kai I heard what happened with the gang, are you ok???" I grunted a response as I looked down to my clothes expecting to see the blooded evidence of the knife wound across my chest. Instead I saw my shirt.. Without blood. Then I pulled up my top and noticed that my chest had already been bandaged I tried to cover up the shock that must be on my face "then you know?" "Know what?" asked Max innocently. I now dared to look into his eyes, they looked mildly puzzled "who bandaged up the wound?" "Rai but..." "Where is he" I growled out in my most threatening voice "he-went-out" 'dam it' I thought as I rushed out of the room and made a beeline straight for the mane door of our hotel sweet I grabbed my coat and started to open the door. It slammed shut in my face I looked down to the small quaking culprit. "y-you can't go out your still w-weak" his voice sounding like a small mouse by the end, I looked into my reflection in those large round glasses and left.
Rai's p.o.v.
I'd been sitting in the park for the last hour I didn't care that it was raining. The rain was actually making me feel better, making me feel that I was the only one in the world, well I was the only one out but that's because I was the only one stupid enough to come out side in this.. 'Why Kai why did you lie to every one for so long why did you lie to me ... Why did you hide the fact that you were a girl did you think that I'd care that you were female.. I thought that we were close.. But you'd lied.. How.. Why. I thought that you trusted us, ME..'. My thoughts were broken as I heard footsteps not wanting to be seen I jumped up and sat in a tree hiding in the dripping foliage. I looked down to see Mariah walk past; 'I swear that girl follows me everywhere. Well that's one good thing about being a nekojin I can avoid her easily our agility, sense of smell, hearing and eyesight are ten times better than most humans but the way Kai had fought off that gang.. You could have thought that he was the nekojin.' I looked down again only to see Kai standing underneath my tree his hair looked soaked but at least he'd bothered to bring a coat his eyes causing a sharp contrast against the grey blue of his hair, but I hadn't herd a sound of him approaching how did he do that? I even heard Mariah' he stood there looking up into my tree obviously looking for me "I know you're up there... I think we need to talk" I jumped down outraged "Talk. TALK! You lied to us; we're your team!!! How can you stand there so calm? When you..." I felt a sudden pain shoot up my back as I was pinned against a tree Kai brought his head close to mine as he slowly hissed "Because it's my life, and my secret, and it's not just you that I've lied to, it's every one.. My grandfather wanted a son, a perfect warrior and that's what I gave him right up until the moment that I.." there was a loud 'crack' and I felt some thing jerk past me I looked down to see Mariah standing beside me with a large branch. She looked down at Kai with pure hatred who was now lying a few meters away holding his chest and trying to breath "Oh Rai... I just couldn't stand by and watch him threaten you Rai" as she started to sob into my shoulder she slowly started to press her body against mine I tried to suppress a shudder as I stood there watching Kai pull him self up off the ground. Panting slightly as he started to walk off he shouted back "We still need to talk before, you start blabbing your mouth off like Tyson." I looked down at Mariah who had her hand wrapped around my waist and was looking into my eyes. Before she could speak I turned away in disgust and said, "You should go back, the white tigers will be worried about you."
"You're not going to go back are you ... but Kai and... you..."
"It was just an argument, don't worry me and Kai just have a few things to sort out before we go back that's all" 'A few things, that is such an easy way to put it. Shame it can't be so easy... but why can't it.' "But Rai.. Just come back to the white tigers with me and we can be together and every thing will be all right... Please Rai"
"No Mariah I need to stay hear and sort this out I'm not running away again" 'No never again' "just go home" I stated as I untangled my self from her grasp and started to move away "Goodnight Mariah" I shouted behind me as I started to take the long route back to our lodgings now pondering rather than brooding on prior events.
When I entered our apartment and walked into the living room I noticed that the others were staring at me obviously they were looking for some sort of explanation.
"What happened to Kai? When he came back he looked like he'd been hit by a truck" "No he was hit by a tree.. Now where is Kai" I stated trying my beast to keep my voice monotone.
"Here I am, now are you ready to talk?" I looked up and there standing into the hallway half covered in shadow was Kai his face was expressionless 'shit he must be pissed' we slowly walked through to our room and shut the door; the dim light shadowed our faces making it harder to see his expression.
"Why didn't you tell us" I looked up into his face hoping to see the truth, but he was holding his usual stance against the wall with his eyes closed.
"What am I supposed to say oh by the way I've been lying to you since I've met you but hears my secret and oh by the way Tyson I have breasts and a uterus, please don't tell any one, because if Voltaire finds out he'll kill you.... Yeah sure I can see that conversation ending really well" sarcasm dripped off every sad word. I sighed heavily and sat on the bottom of my bed "You said that Voltaire wanted a perfect warrior does he know.... What else-"
"Yes he knows as does Boris but no one else I think and don't ask the next question, he did change other things.. other secrets... but I'm not saying, not yet..."
"Ok that's your choice" 'what else did they change about you Kai, I've seen you have nightmares. Kai, what happened to you...' I was interrupted by Kai's voice.
Not quite hearing as I snapped out of my thoughts "P-pardon" I asked.
"I said that I wouldn't allow you to leave over this... If you feel that strongly I'll leave but the others need you...and you need them" 'my heart melted in an instant that's why he was being so cold and stone like, he was waiting for rejection' "Oh god Kai... That's not what this is all about... any way I refuse to let you leave over this one little thing...were stronger than this.. It's just ... you kept this a secret for so long and... it's my duty to keep this a secret until you feel ready to tell some one." I sighed the last part daring to look into his eye's I saw a single tear role down his cheek. That was it. I jumped up and pulled the stiff teen into a close hug "at least now I know why you didn't want to go to the hospital.. Just imagine if they found out"
"Ha they'd probably try to reform me through family therapy" Kai pulled away awkwardly "you'd better have a shower your soaked"
"And so are you now" I said noticing the large wet patch on Kai's top were I had been leaning against him "Did you hear that?" I asked turning towards the door. Kai sighed and yelled "ANY ONE AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT DOOR HAD BETTER HAVE A DEATH WISH...." I heard a loud thud as the person obviously tried to run away too fast on the highly polished floor. I looked up at Kai who had started to shake his head "Tyson"
"How much do you think he heard?"
"I have no idea how much he heard I wasn't paying attention. And I highly doubt that he'll stop trying to find out."
Ok I know this is rather short but its just to relieve some writers block so it will have a very confusing plot if any... But it should be pretty light... Now to clear up a few questions that will be asked? Girls who are pretending to be boys tend to bind their chests with bandages this... Ahem... compresses and hides although I can't image it being very comfy ( or anyone being able to breathe days the MUSE), as for the monthly cycle just assume she's on the pill or a variation of it. Ok... and she doesn't have a high pitched voice, the reason for this will be explained later so hold your horses...
Ray will not... I repeat will not be falling in love with Mariah... (Yeah!!!!! Die bitch die, says the MUSE.)
Should I make this a Kai Ray romance fic or not??? PLEASE VOTE NOW!!!!!!!
(or is it already asks the MUSE)
Any one who can tell me which book I got the elf from gets something. what I don't know yet but the only clues I'm giving you is 'the poker" "and bacon onk' other clues given until some one guesses right.
( I know the answer, says the MUSE, MWA HA HA HA HA)
