Flashbacks

Tala sat on the hospital bed, talking to a very interested Salina.

flashback

Tala leaned against the wall holding his clothes and looked at the two beside him.

A boy with blue and gray hair had his eyes closed, and was holding a little girl in his arm

rather tenderly.

He held her tightly, like if he dropped her she would be gone forever.

She looked small for her size and she twisting her long locks of aqua blue hair around her finger.

She stopped playing and layed her head on the boys shoulder.

He opened his eyes at her touch and strocked her head gently.

Yawning the girl turned to look at Tala eyes searching his.

She raised her hand and gave him a small wave.

"Why do you keep watching my sister?"

Tala looked from the girl to the boy.

"I... Sorry I did'nt mean to invade your privacy or something."

"She likes you."

"What."

"My sister, she took to you quite fast."

"Whats her name?"

The girl brought her head off of the boys shoulder and wiggled out of his arms.

She ran to Tala and stood in front of him hand held out.

"I'm Salina, and thats my grouchy brother Kai." She said in the sweetist voice.

Tala laughed and bent down to her height.

"I'm Tala, nice to meet you both." he said, shaking her hand.

She rapped her arms around his neck and hugged him.

The doors slammed open.

Kai ran to his sister and picked her up gently, but quickly.

He held her close.

Tala looked towards the door and saw a tall man with a white beard standing in the doorway.

Salina whimpered.

"Ssshhh Salina it will be all right, I wont let him hurt you again." Kai cooed to her.

The grip on her brothers shirt tightened.

"Give her too me." The man said.

"No, Grandfather."

"You are in no position to order me around, Kai."

The man took a step closer and Salina's eyes filled with tears.

Kai's eyes narrowed.

Tala starred questionly at both men.

"GIVE HER TOO ME, NOW!"

"No, you've hurt her enough!"

The man ran up to Kai and snatched the girl from Kai's arms.

Salina cried for help.

Tala started to move off the wall.

"Dont you move!" The man ordered.

The man spun around quickly and ran towards the door, Kai closely behind.

Kai was about to reach the man when large doors were shut in his face.

He banged on the doors, cursing and threatening.

Salina started to scream and over time the screams grew louder.

Kai slowly fell to the floor crying.

Tala ran to his side and helped him up, crying as well.

End Flashback

Salina's head was turned to one side and she was crying.

Tala knew now why Kai did'nt want to tell her about they're past.

It hurt him to talk about it.

"I should have never told you that."

"It wasent your fault, I asked you to tell me about it." She was biting her lip trying to keep herself from crying.

"Wow." came Ray's voice.

Kai held his arms open.

Salina moved into his arms and cried into his shirt.

"This is why I did'nt want you to know." Kai said softly

"Is that why your so mean to me?" Tyson asked

Salina stopped crying but did'nt say anything.

"Oh, I know what he did he..."

"Tyson shut-up right now!" Kai yelled

"And what will you do about it?"

"This." Kai replyed

He moved away from the bed towards Tyson swiftly.

Grabbing Tyson by the shirt collar he held him up in the air against the wall.

Kai was about to punch Tyson in the face when a soft tan hand touched his.

He looked out of the corner of his eye to see the neko-jin starring at him.

"Don't Kai." He said

Kai lowered Tyson back to the ground.

Ray took his hand off of Kai's and smiled, showing his fangs.

Salina smiled at the two and frowned at Tyson who was as far as he could against the wall shaking.

"Somethings going on between those two, but what?"

The door opened.

All gasped at the person in the doorway.

Salina's color flushed out of her face and she screamed for her brother.

Please R&R
