Chapter Twenty-Six: Return To Russia

Kai groaned as he rolled over in bed and opened his eyes. There was a light switched on somewhere in the house, and it was shining through his open doorway. Kai muttered curses as he dragged himself out of bed, going to find the source of the light. It was coming from the entertainment room. Kai stuck his arm through the doorway and felt around the wall. When he found the switch, he flicked it off.
"Hey! Turn that thing back on!"
"(Aya)?" Kai had a look of surprise on his face as he switched the light back on and peered into the room.
Sure enough, there (Aya) was, sitting on the floor, the box of photos in her lap, some of them scattered on the floor around her.
"What are you doing (Aya)?"
(Aya) said nothing as she looked at a photo, threw it onto the floor, picked another out of the box, only to do the same thing again.
"No…no…no." (Aya) muttered to herself.
"(Aya)?" Kai pushed aside some photos and sat next to her.
"(Aya), what are you doing?"
"I'm looking." (Aya) replied as she discarded another photo.
"For what? Haven't we looked at those photos before?"
"I don't know! I know we have, but it's like something's nagging me to look through them again!"
"(Aya), are you sure you're not feeling upset about your decision?"
"No, it's got nothing to do with that! I'd jump off a cliff before returning to the Abbey, but something's missing…and I don't know what it is, or how to find it!"
(Aya) suddenly tipped the box upside down, dumping out all the photos onto the floor. Then she shook the box furiously. And wouldn't you know it? Out from behind one of the end flaps of the box, came a photo. Kai and (Aya) watched, transfixed, as it fluttered to the ground.
"Is that what you were looking for?" Kai asked.
"I don't know." (Aya) answered, slightly bewildered.
Kai picked up the photo to inspect as (Aya) dropped the box. It was a picture of Kai and (Aya) yet again. But this time, it appeared to be in a snow-covered forest. Behind the two children staring at the camera, was what looked like something out of an old horror movie. It appeared to be an old, abandoned, falling apart board house.
Kai felt the hairs on the back of his neck prickle. There was something eerie about the abandoned place. Something…dark, secretive.
"Well, what is it?" (Aya) asked, her voice breaking through Kai's spell.
Kai just shook his head to clear it, but couldn't rid himself of the creepy feeling.
"Just another photo of us." Kai muttered as he passed it over to (Aya).
She took the photo and inspected it closely.
"I remember this place. We used to go there all the time, it was one of our secret places." (Aya) giggled to herself.
"I remember that one day, I asked my mother about the old house. She told me that it had been abandoned for years. Before her grandma was born! I told you, and we used to scare ourselves senseless about the place, making up ghost stories and theories about the old shack. Remember?"
Kai took the photo back, not replying. He remembered alright. But that's not the only thing he remembered. Kai stood up, pulling (Aya) up with him.
"Come on."
"What? Kai, where are we going?"
"Russia."

Location: Tyson's Dojo, Japan
"Found anything yet Chief?" Tyson asked the bespectacled boy.
Chief sighed. "Not yet, Tyson."
Tyson, Max and Ray sighed in unison as Chief continued to type away on his laptop. Two weeks ago, since Max was in town visiting his dad, Tyson and the Chief decided to have a little Bladebreakers reunion.
It was then that they discovered that Kai had gone missing. They knew that Voltaire was very cruel to his grandson, so the team couldn't help but worry about their captain. So now, they were searching for him. And their first target? Russia. Why? Not even god knows.
"Ahhh!"
"Huh?" came the three replies to Chief's outburst.
"Guys, come look! I think I found something!"
The three boys stood up and crowded around to peer at the laptop.
"I know it's not much, but it's a start at least."
"Hmm…I think you just might be onto something here Chief." Ray commented thoughtfully.
"Well, you know what they say boys, a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step!" Dizzi buzzed cheerfully.
Tyson nodded his head in determination. "Right, let's go!"

Location: Qantas Flight TKRO2O4, Sydney Airport
(Aya) stared blankly out the airplane window as she and Kai waited for take-off. The past hour or so had been such a blur, packing a backpack of gear that she would need, writing a letter for her dad to find in the morning, explaining what was going on, where she and Kai were headed, that they would be back in 4 days, and to please not ring the police.
Then it was run to the bus stop, catch the bus to Wyong train station, get the train to Central station and then take a taxi to Sydney Airport.
'Four days…is that really how long it will take?' (Aya) wondered to herself.
Well, that's what Kai had told her. One day to get to Russia, one day to set up a plan, one day to get Holocaust back and one day to get home. All together, four days. (Aya) sighed before looking away from the window to look at Kai.
"Are you sure Kai?"
Kai nodded his head, eyes serious and thoughtful.
"Positive."
Kai reached into his pocket and pulled out the photo that was hidden in the box. He stared at the run down house in the snowy picture.
#Flashback#
A 5 year old Kai stood in the cold, snow-covered forest. He sniffed as a single tear ran down his blue triangle painted cheek Kai lifted his hand and swiped away the tear with the cuff of his jacket. Kai shivered and pulled his jacket tighter around him and stared up at the house, the old, creepy, falling apart house.
Yesterday, he and (Aya) had spent their last day together. Now that his best friend was gone, Russia seemed colder, the mansion he lived in with his grandfather seemed more lonely. All Kai had left of (Aya) were memories and a plastic ring out of a cereal box that she gave him. It had a pretty multi-coloured gem that shone all of its different colours when you moved it around in the light.
Kai reached into his pocket and clutched the ring tightly. If his grandfather ever was to find out that Kai had such a thing, he would throw it away for sure. And god knows what he would do to Kai if he found out what happened yesterday in the park…
The sun was starting to go down, it was getting late…The little girl with shoulder length (auburn) hair and (hazel) eyes sighed before jumping off the swing. Kai frowned slightly before doing the same.
"What's wrong, (Aya)?"
Sad (hazel) eyes looked into Kai's confused mahogany ones.
"It's getting dark, I have to go home now Kai."
"Oh…" Kai said slowly, looking at the ground.
He didn't want (Aya) to go. He wanted (Aya) to stay here with him, and play in the park. Forever.
Kai looked back at (Aya) when he heard her sniffing. Kai cringed. He didn't like it when (Aya) cried.
"Hey, (Aya), please don't cry." Kai said quietly as he brushed his friend's tears away.
"I'm sure we'll see each other again." Kai tried to comfort the crying girl as he wiped away tears.
"I know we will, but I'm gonna miss you heaps, Kai." (Aya) sniffed.
"Yeah, I'm gonna miss you too." Kai whispered.
(Aya's) lower lip quivered. Then she threw her arms around Kai and cried into his chest. Kai sighed as he hugged (Aya) back and stroked her hair. He didn't know what else to do. Once (Aya) stopped crying, she lifted her head up from Kai's chest to look into his eyes.
"I'm really gonna miss you, Kai. You're the only friend I've ever had."
Then (Aya) did something that caught Kai by surprise.
She leaned in and placed a soft, warm, lingering kiss on his left cheek…
Slowly, Kai took his hand out of his pocket and touched his cheek. He closed his eyes. A kiss from (Aya) was unlike anything Kai had ever known. It reminded him of when his parents had still been alive. When he had been shown true caring and kindness. Now that (Aya) was gone, Kai didn't know who was going to treat him that way. Certainly not his grandfather. Kai suddenly turned around, only to come face to face with an old, homeless man.
"Hello there, young chap!" the old man called out cheerfully.
"Ah!" Kai gasped in surprise as he stumbled back, slight fear showing in his eyes.
The old man didn't seem to notice as he looked left and right.
"Where's your young friend gone? That little lass that's always coming here with you?"
"She's moved away. To another country." Kai mumbled sadly as he stared down at the snow-covered ground, kicking it.
"Oh?" the man scratched his head as he looked skywards.
"Such a shame, that little girl had a kind heart, she always gave me a coin or two from her pocket, got her mother to buy me a coffee once. Such a shame, the world needs more people like your friend. Now she's gone, and you have no one to talk to, so sad and lonely. So am I, young chap, so am I…"
Kai looked up at the man and cocked his head to one side. Why was this strange, slightly eccentric man talking to him? Suddenly, the man's eyes shifted back and forth, as if he was looking out for something. Then, he bent down, so that his azure blue eyes came in line with Kai's.
"Lad, can you keep a secret?"
Curious, Kai slowly nodded. The man smiled.
"Good! I'm going to tell you a story about that house sitting right behind you."
Slowly, Kai turned his head to look at the house, then looked back at the old man.
"Ok."
"Lad, there have been whispers that the old house in the forest hides many secrets. One of these secrets, is that somewhere in the house, there is a secret passage that leads to a church, hidden and forgotten deep within the forest!"
Kai's mahogany eyes widened. "Really?"
"Yes! As I've heard, the forest is so thick, that the only way to reach the church is through the secret passage."
"But how do you know if it's real?" Kai asked.
The man paused, looking thoughtful.
"There's a story I've heard, about a family that used to live in the house. They had a son. One day, the mother and father decided to move out of the house. They loaded up the horse and carriage, got all their luggage packed away. But their son wouldn't come out. They called from him, said that it was time to leave. The boy yelled out that he wouldn't leave, his voice seemed to come from all over the house. So the parents went inside, calling out their son's name. They searched every room in the house, but they couldn't find him. But still, they heard his voice, echoing out everywhere. Soon, they gave up, they left him there. They say, those who tell the story, that the boy was hiding in the secret passage way. And to this very day, the boy's ghost still haunts the house."
"Really?"
"It's up to you to believe, lad."
Kai turned around to face the house. Could it be true? Could the homeless man's story be real? Kai turned back around and opened his mouth to speak. But there was no one there. Kai blinked as he looked around. How could someone disappear so quickly?
#End Flashback#
"So, you think that the new Abbey is hidden in the forgotten church deep in the forest?"
Kai nodded. "Yep."
(Aya) looked back out the window. "I hope you're right."
'Me too.' Kai thought to himself.
22222222222222222
Later in the night, Kai lay awake in the hotel room. So many thoughts ran through his head, they wouldn't fade out, they wouldn't let him sleep. Kai turned his head to look out the window. It was a clear night. He could see the stars. And the moon. Suddenly, Kai felt the bed shift.
"Kai?"
(Aya) switched on the lamp at his side of the bed and rested her head on his shoulder, snuggling up to him.
"What's the matter? Why aren't you sleeping?"
"Thinking."
"About what?"
"Hn."
"Come on Kai, talk to me."
"I was thinking…maybe it was a bad idea, bringing you here."
"Why?"
"Well, the Abbey isn't exactly a friendly place."
"I know that, so?"
"What if something happens to you…" Kai trailed off, not wanting to finish the sentence.
(Aya) arched a sceptical eyebrow. "You really think I would let you go by yourself in the first place? Besides, it's my bit-beast we're here for, you think I wanna pass on all the action?"
Kai chuckled slightly before going serious again. "But still, Zane…"
"Is gonna have me to deal with when we get there, so please, don't worry, I can take care of myself just as well as you can yourself."
Kai sighed. "Alright."
He reached out and switched off the lamp.
"But-"
Kai was silenced as (Aya's) lips met his own. Kai closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around (Aya), then pushed her onto her back. (Aya) sighed softly into the kiss.
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! LIME CONTENT COMING UP! IF YOU DON'T LIKE, THEN READ NO FURTHER! JUST REVIEW IF YOU WISH.
Then she slipped her hands up the back of Kai's shirt, running her hands over his skin. Kai shivered at (Aya's) touch. Slowly, she started to lift his shirt up. Kai smirked slightly before breaking off the kiss and straddling (Aya's) waist. Slowly, Kai took off his shirt.
(Aya) smiled up at him, running her hands over his bare, muscled chest. Kai lowered himself back down to (Aya) and kissed her passionately. (Aya) moaned softly as she wrapped her arms around Kai's neck. Kai sucked on (Aya's) lower lip, asking for an entrance. (Aya) opened her mouth, letting Kai in. As Kai massaged (Aya's) tongue with his own, he began to lift up her top.
(Aya) gasped and broke off the kiss. Kai's hands froze as he looked down at (Aya). Then, slowly, (Aya) lifted her arms above her head. Kai smiled slightly as he removed (Aya's) shirt. Their lips met in a heated kiss. Kai broke off the kiss and started to slowly trail his lips down her neck, massaging her breasts as he did so. (Aya) gasped and her eyes widened as she felt shocks of pleasure run through her body. Kai smirked to himself as he placed kisses over (Aya's) collarbone, his hands roaming over her waist and stomach, taking in the feel of her soft skin.
(Aya's) breathing became uneven, coming out in ragged gasps. Kai's lips travelled down to the valley between (Aya's) breasts as his hands wandered over her hips. Kai mentally growled. The shorts that (Aya) were wearing were forbidding him to touch her skin. Kai quickly disposed of the garments covering (Aya's) lower half. Kai took (Aya's) left breast into his mouth, his tongue teasing her nipple as his hands skilfully ran over her hips and thighs. (Aya) gripped Kai's hair in her hands as she arched her back and moaned. Kai repeated this treatment to (Aya's) right breast. (Aya) moaned again. Kai had never done these things to her before, it was a new experience for her.
Kai trailed heated kisses back up to (Aya's) lips, his hands running up and down the soft curves of her waist. (Aya) wrapped her arms around Kai's neck as she kissed him back. Then she flipped him over. It was his turn. (Aya's) lips attached themselves to Kai's neck, travelling from underneath his earlobe down to the crook of his neck and back up again as she ran her hands over his chest. Kai gasped at the feelings (Aya) was sending through his body. Slowly, while slightly trembling, his hands found (Aya's) back and started to stroke her skin. (Aya) shivered at Kai's touch and trailed her kisses down to his chest. Kai moaned and arched his chest up to (Aya). (Aya) smirked to herself as she brushed her lower lip along Kai's nipple. Another moan escaped Kai's lips, a louder one. (Aya) continued to assault Kai's chest with her lips as she undressed his lower half.
What followed from there was a heavy make out session. Lips and hands took in every inch of the other's skin, not leaving any place unexplored. An hour or so later, they lay in bed, bodies pressed against each other.
(Aya) was fast asleep, sheet pulled up to her chest, left arm tucked under her pillow. Kai however, was awake. The side of his head rested against (Aya's), his left arm wrapped around her waist, hand interlocked with hers as his right hand cupped her left breast. To Kai, lying in bed naked with (Aya) felt amazing. She had kissed him everywhere. He never thought she'd do that.
Kai placed slow, soft kisses on (Aya's) shoulder. He put his head back into his previous position and sighed. Tomorrow was going to be a long day, he had better get his rest. Or else (Aya) would scold him for not looking after himself.
"I love you." Kai whispered, before he fell asleep.

Ok, there you go. I was going to post this yesterday, but I ran out of time, as Mum caught me and told me to get off the computer. And I was so close to finishing yesterday! Just 3 paragraphs left! Oh well, never mind! I'm updating now, as I got a day off school, because of my cold. And yes, I had fun at camp. Even though I got really sick on the second day and had to stay in my cabin, but I'm better now, thank god. Yes, well, until the next chapter, which I shall start to write.
