A/N- I edited the Prologue slightly, so if you would reread that, please.I only changed a few words, though... nothing drastic...

Flashback

"Bryan…" Ray murmured when the lilac-haired teen had closed the bedroom door. The Russian turned to the neko-jin and pulled him into his arms, rubbing his back. "What do you think is happening to Tala?"

"I…" Bryan sighed. "I'm not certain… but if my suspicions are correct, Tala's in big trouble."

"What do you mean?"

But Bryan never replied because Kai emerged from the room, looking exhausted. He half closed the door, leaning on the doorframe afterwards, eyes closed. Ray let go of Bryan and walked over, laying a hand on the tired teen's shoulder.

"Kai," He said, "you go rest and Bryan and I will tell the others that you're busy, okay?" Ray must've sensed that Kai was going to object because he carried on. "Kai, you look half dead. Tala needs you; so stay. We'll come back after the meetings are done, okay?"

Kai gave a small nod and walked back into the bedroom, shutting the door without a sound.

New Flashback

Sighing, Ray opened the huge door to the penthouse suite and shutting it. He suddenly felt two arms slide round his waist and he gave a small yelp of surprise. Turning round in the powerful arms, he saw a smirking Bryan.

Ray pouted. "What is it with you and scaring me? That's the second time today!"

"You're easy to scare, kitten, that's why." Bryan smirked, ghosting his lips over Ray's before pressing down firmly, forcing him against the mahogany door; although, he pulled back a few moments later. "What are you doing back so early?"

"I could be asking you the same thing." He smirked. "I snuck away. It was easy enough. I'm seriously contemplating getting the Chief a haircut. It's a miracle that he can actually see under that mop of hair…"

Bryan smirked too and kissed him gently for a few seconds.

"You?" Ray asked.

"Told the old coot that I needed to check on Tala." He sighed and shook his head sadly. "Now Spencer and Ian think that Red and I are dating…"

Ray chuckled. "The guys think that Kai and I are dating…" He smiled at the grey haired teen, amber eyes sparkling. "But I only see Kai as a brother… I want you as something more…" He paused. "No… I don't want you…" Their lips brushed together. "…I need you…"

End Flashback

So here he was, lying in the unbelievably soft bed, Bryan's arms around him in a possessive, yet somewhat gentle, grip. No, they hadn't done 'it'; no, not 'foreplay' either. Yes people, let me introduce you to the world of…

Sleep and nighttime.

It is a normal thing to do, but that is off subject, so I shall not bore you with drabbles about why humans need sleep, not caffeine (though it's good for sugar highs)…

Ray shifted and the muscular (D-G: drool…) arms moved to allow the neko-jin to get more comfortable.

"Can't sleep?"

Ray shook his head. "No…" He whispered back before heaving a sigh. "I'm worried…"

"About Tala?"

"Well, yes, but not as much right now…"

"Well, what about then, kitten? If I'll hurt you like I did three years ago." Ray could feel Bryan smirking.

"No…" Ray chuckled quietly. "S'just… at the tournament… it'll be hard to get some alone time without everyone finding out… especially the White Tigers…"

Bryan ran his fingers down Ray's back to the base of his ponytail, slowly unwinding it. When it was unwound, he threw the wrap-material slightly so it landed on the floor beside the bed. Going back to Ray's now free hair, he submerged his fingers in the waterfall of ebony tresses, revelling in the silky, soft texture between his fingers. Ray nuzzled his neck, purring softly.

"Don't worry about them…" Bryan whispered, smirking as he felt Ray shiver with pleasure.

"Then what should I worry about?"

"Something too rude for your little kitty ears…"

"Try me…"

Bryan chuckled and dipped his head, whispering something huskily in Ray's ear. The Chinese boy's eyes widened and a deep blush adorned the bridge of his nose and his cheeks.

"You… you have a dirty mind, Falcon. A very dirty mind…"

"Told you so…" Bryan whispered, massaging Ray's back under his hair. "…But not here… I don't know if you're a screamer yet and I don't want to wake Tala and Kai up…" He smirked at he caught sight of Ray's furious blushing in the corner of his eye. "At least… not yet…" he added, deviously…

In the other room…

"Kai?" A whispered voice asked uncertainly. "You awake?"

"Tala… I was worried…" Kai whispered back, holding the redhead away from him to look at him.

"I'm sorry…"

Kai sighed and held Tala to his frame. They stayed this way until they felt movement at the end of the bed. Looking down, the saw Moon Child padding up towards them slowly. Tala smiled softly as she reached them and ran a hand down her smooth, grey coat.

"She's been waiting for you, you know?" Kai said, smiling slightly as he watched Tala stroke the other wolf tranquilly. Kai reached out and brushed a few strands of hair away from Tala face.

Tala turned his attention to Kai. "I… I missed you…"

Kai's smile increased. "How could you miss me if I've been here all the time?"

Tala sighed sadly. "You may have been here physically," he took a hand and tapped his temple, "but up here, in my nightmares, you weren't…"

Kai took Tala's hand away from his forehead.

"You may be right about the nightmare thing… but… I will always be here…" he placed Tala's hand on the middle of the redhead's chest, right over his heart, "but, I'll always be here… in your heart…"

"Always?"

The corner of Kai's mouth kicked upwards into a reassuring smile. "Always… as long as you stay in mine..."

"Always..."
