Right, sorry about the wait,and the leangth. I had a skating competition, a load of coursework and generally a total lack of enthusiasm for typing after i had finished my history work. This is not going to be Kai/Rei. I promise ok?

regular PoV

Kai managed to get Rei upstairs and into his (Rei's) bedroom, the team captain then stormed downstairs after slamming Rei's door before the younger boy could say a word. When Kai entered the main room all conversation between the other three changed direction entirely.

"What (!) Was(!) That?" Max

"Is Rei ok ?" Tyson

"is it safe to say that Rei has 'shown us' he is less than a hundred percent?" Kenny managed an excellent drawl, complete with a raised eyebrow (though to all intents and purposes anything to do with the chief's eyebrows is of no importance).

Somewhere during the middle of his team mates' outbursts Kai started a search on Dizzi.

/Three.Guards.Wolfie / minus/ Zoo /

Kai became acutely aware of the others questioning what he was doing, he ignored them all, in favour of reading the first page that came up. It was a sports journal from a few years earlier:

SHOCK AS TEAM PULLS OUT OF JUNIOR WORLD TORNEY.

There was shock among the aqua- sports community today surrounding the Three Guards, firm favourite to win the finals of this years Under 15's Asian aqua team tournament . The leader of the Guards, "Wolfie"(suspected age thirteen) made the announcement this morning. He was backed by both his team-mates who along with their captain refused to comment on the situation, thought an inside source claims that medical reasons were at the root of the withdrawal.

Kai continued to look through more cuttings, all told similar stories, he lost track of how many "where are they now?" articles were lying around the Ethernet, when he finally looked up the three younger boys were glaring at him.

"Well, as interesting as that may be to you Kai, shouldn't you be more concerned about your team-mate? Rei? You remember him? What does this have to do with getting him better?"The venom injected comment from Tyson brought kai sharply back to the short term matter, the raven haired boy who was just creeping downstairs to the kitchen.

"Max, go to the kitchen."

"what?" Kai rolled his eyes, he was going to have to explain in Tyson- sized mental jumps

"Rei has just gone in, one of us should talk to him, and it's not me."

Why no... Max!"

Max, having some sense, as in enough not to argue with Kai slipped out of the room, across the hall and into the kitchen before Tyson could protest.

– a random airport,in Russia Wolfie

"aww heck Kitten you know what i mean, you really need help come find me. I don't care how old we are or where we are just get me ok"

Oh I hated this, not the airport, although, I did hate that too, conversations kept replaying across my brain that one in particular, I said I'd keep him safe, some help I was, I hadn't seen him in nearly a year. A young woman with a clipboard, purple hair and a load of questionaires sat down next to me jerking me out of my thoughts, she grinned at me.

"heya kid, who ya going to see?" a broad accent, I couldn't place it

"I'm sorry?"

"Heh, I get that a lot I'm a social studies major, i hafta find out about people, I'm Jeanne by the way, so was it a family emergency or do you always travel soo light? What's country of birth, airport of destination, age band and your first name?

"Brother, yes but I don't pack much anyway, Russia, late teens, Tala"

"thank you for your help, buhbye now."the woman stood up and left in a cloud of purple haired overenthusiasm
