Chapter 6

A loud boom brought Mirage and Mirror back to earth. They heard their own frightened scream's as the car they were in swerve on the road. The car tossed onto it's side and Mirage's world went black as she felt a singing sensation in the back of her head.

Mirror looked around as the car slowly slid to a stop. She saw that Kai and Tala were fine, just a few more scratches and a couple of bruised ribs. She looked beside her to find her sister but was shocked to find no one there. "Mirage?" her voice sounded dry and scratchy. Mirror sat up ans looked around more urgently. "Mirage!"

Tala watched as flames looked the house they were in moments before. "So it was a bomb..." he sighed and looked over at Kai with a suspicious stare. "How'd you know?"

Kai's response was a shrug and both boys turned around sharply when Mirror gave a horrified cry. She was hunched over something that had feet. Instantly Tala and Kai knew that the body Mirror was hovering over was her her beloved sister.

"Mirage... wake up...please... just open your eyes... Mirage..." Mirror shook the cold body but was pulled away suddenly by a pair of strong arms. They lifted her up and away from Mirage. "No! Mirage! Mi Mi! Let me go!" Mirror had started to struggled with the arms that had pulled her away. Hot tears were running down her face as she looked at Mirage's bloody body.

"Calm down Mirror... we're going to help your sister... don't worry.." came the voice of Tala as he whispered soothing words to the destressed sister. "She's going to be fine..."

"No she isn't! It's happening again! I'm losing her!" Mirror screamed as she continued to fight against the arms of her captor. "Let me go! I have to help her!"

"There's nothing you can do!" Kai came into view and stared down at her with a menacing look. "Shut up so that I can help her! I don't want to hear you crying or saying that she's going to die!" he glared and walked over to Mirage.

Tala looked down as Mirror finally stopped her crying but he knew that she was still on the verge of tears. He let her down on her feet and pulled away from her waist but he kept a firm arm around her shoulders as he led her away from Kai and Mirage. Kai looked at Mirage for a moment and checked her pulse. After a little while he thought she was dead then he felt the bump of her heart beat and knew that she was not in the land of the dead. Her dark aura was almost completely gone so he knew he had to act fast if he wanted to save her. He quickly removed her shirt and pleaced his hands on her chest, right above her breasts before a red glow surrounded his handsas did Mirage's body. He felt some of his energy leave him and enter the girl and right when he saw that her aura was pretty good he removed his hands and leaned backwards a little. He had given up quiet a lot of his energy to her and was slightly mad at how dizzy he was from the energy loss and yet relieved when Mirage was well enough to know that she wouldn't die on him.

Kai sat back up and waited a few minutes to get some energy from the nearby fire. It was very strange that fire was one of the only things that could keep him alive which is why he would light a candle once every week. After that he stood up and picked up Mirage who was calmly sleeping right now and started to carry her on his back. "Tala!" he called out for and he saw the red head a little while away talking to Mirror. He grunted a little and started walkingtowards the couple. ((Soon to be anyway!))

Tala looked up as Kai approached them and looked at the sleeping girl on his back. "Is she going to be okay?" he looked at him wearily.

"She's going to be fine but we need to get to my place as fast as we can." Kai looked at Mirror. "Are you alright?" he asked sort of coldly.

Mirror nodded and looked at her feet. She couldn't help but feel a little put off by the two toned haired boy as if he didn't like her at all, but why didn't he? He was always with Mirage and talked to her a little nicer than her, but why was he always cold towards her? She poundered on these questions as she followed Kai and Tala who were obviously headed somewhere as Kai was leading. Mirror was quiet the whole way to Kai's house and she only talked when either Tala or Kai would ask her something. After a little while they approached what seemed to be Kai's house and Tala opened the door for all off them.

"Mirror your staying with Tala tonight, I don't trust anything else will happen but you never know. Besides that I think it would be best if he was there to make you 'feel'a little better about the situation. Your sister will be staying with me in my room. We'll tell you both what happened tonight once Mirage wakes up and feeling better than I know she was being thrown out of the car." Kai started for the stiars but a quiet voice stopped him form moving onwards to his room.

"How is she? Mirage? Is she okay? What's...what's wrong with her?" Mirror looked up at him and Kai could plainly see some unshed tears. He sighed heavily and turned back to her.

"She has a sprained wrist and a couple broken bones. More than likely she has a small concussion as well." he answered her question with a small smirk. "Other than that I think she'll live." Kai watched as Mirror gave a very stressed sigh and then look at him with a smile.

"Thanks you." she whispered to him and then watched as Kai rose an eyebrow before leaving back up to his room with her sleeping sister. Mirror turned to Tala who looked at her wierdly.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" he backed up a little.

"No reason... now c'mon where's our room?" she whined a little and he sighed heavily before starting down a hall to their left.

"Tala?" Mirror's quiet voice brought him back to reality. They were laying in the bed and since their was only one they had to share but both teenagers didn't really mind.

"Hm?" he opened his eyes sleepily and stared into her face.

"I need to go to the bathroom..." she smiled cheekily as he sweatdropped. Tala got up and brought her with him before going down the hall again and showing her where the bathroom was. "Thanks!" Mirror grinned before going inside.

Tala nodded dumbly as he slumped against the door and waited for her to come out so he could go back to bed. After what seemed like forever to him Mirror came back out with a small grin on her face. "Done?" he asked slowly and she nodded. He got up and they walked back towards the room. Once he was in the bed again he smiled happily and closed his eyes to try and get some sleep. He was three forths of the way there to la la land when a voice interrupted him.

"Tala?"

"Yes?"

"I'm thirsty." Mirror smiled a little and her smile grew when Tala pushed the blankets off of him and he started off towards somewhere. A couple minutes later he came in with a cup of water in his hands. He handed it to her before getting back into bed and trying to sleep. This time he was half way asleep when again someone broke him off of his la la land expedition.

"Tala?"

"WHAT!"

"I'm scared..." he heard Mirror whisper and he rolled over to look at her.

"What did you say?" he quircked an eyebrow up at her words.

"I'm scared..." she suddenly came foreward and hugged him around the middle and burried her head into his chest. "I'm so scared..."

Tala was in a perdicament and that usually only happens when he gets in trouble at school. He sighed heavily and soon wrapped his arms around the small girl. "Don't worry... everything's going to be alright..." he whispered in her ear. After a few minutes he looked down at her and noticed that she was finally asleep. Tala swetdropped once more before unwrapping her arms from around him and laying her back down on her side of the bed. He rolled his eyes a little and dropped back down onto his pillow before FINALLY falling asleep with no interruptions.

Kai looked over at Mirage who was laying on his bed at the moment. She was still shirtless and he blushed slightly seeing that she had on a black sports bra. He turned around and started digging in hsi closet before he came back with one of his old shirts. He picked up Mirage's upper half and pulled the black shirt on her. He pulled back and looked at her for a minute noticing how good she looked in black before slipping her body under the covers and getting in on his side. He stayed awake watching Mirage for a few minutes before he rolled over so that his back was to her and fell asleep.
