King scrambled off Tala's lap, blushing profusely. He heard Tala groan in annoyance.
"You want something, Kai?" Tala asked.
Kai rose an eyebrow. "I came here to check on King and to tell you that you have an important phone call. I would tell them to ring back but they say it's important. So…"
Tala sighed and stood up. "Fine, I'll answer the bloody phone," He glanced at King who was standing in the corner, blushing. He smiled to himself, finding that King was absolutely adorable. "I won't be long."
King nodded and watch him leave. He felt timid when Kai turned to him. "Kai, I'm sorry," He whispered.
Kai looked confused. "What on earth for?"
"You don't mind?" King asked, shocked.
"Why would I mind?" Kai asked, raising an eyebrow again.
"We'll aren't you and Tala…?"
"Oh, good lord, no!" Kai said, slightly mortified at the thought. "Tala is like an annoying brother to me."
"But Bryan said there was another couple, and he mention your name." King said.
"He's right. There is another couple, but I'm certainly not with Tala."
"You're seeing someone else?" King asked taking a seat on his bed.
Kai nodded, sitting down next to him. "That's right. He's in Europe at the moment."
"Who is he?"
"You haven't met him, his name is…"
"Kai get your ass down here! Sexy here to see you!"
Kai's eyes suddenly widen. He jumped off the bed and race downstairs. King got up and followed, walking quickly to keep up. He saw Kai jump into the arms of a hot, tanned skin, blond hair, blue eyed blader. The blond teen wrapped Kai up in his arms and they kissed softly.
Two more youths followed. A tall blue hair young man had his arms wrapped around a slightly shorter teen with short platinum hair.
"Hey Kai," They greeted.
King watched silently when he suddenly felt a pair of arms circle his waist, pulling him back into a firm chest. "Tala? You startled me."
Tala said nothing but rested his chin on King's shoulder. He peered over to the others and smiled softly. Kai wrapped his arms around the blond hair teen, softly talking to him. The blond teen smiled and lightly kissed Kai on his forehead. Kai caressed his cheek and spoke to the other two. Suddenly the blond glanced over to him and Tala. King felt his cheeks heat up as he spoke to Kai.
"King! Tala! Get over here!" Kai waved them over. Tala stood up but kept an arm around King's waist. They walked over and the three newcomers greeted Tala.
"So the hottie on Tala's arm is named King." Said the tall blue hair young man.
Kai nodded. "That's right. As you can see, he's Tala's boyfriend," King blushed as Tala nuzzled his cheek. "King this is Miguel, my boyfriend," He winked at him. "And the tall, skinny one is Claude and the guy that's hanging around him like a bad smell is Hiro, Claude's boyfriend and Tyson's brother."
King nodded hello to the three he now know is Miguel, Claude and Hiro. They all smiled hello. King internally relaxed. They all seemed to be friendly enough. They would have to be to be friends with the Blitzkrieg boys.
"So, what brings you here, King?" Hiro asked.
"Um…" King wasn't sure of what to say, fortunately Tala did.
"He's in a little bit of trouble," He waved his hand. "Nothing we can't deal with."
Miguel shot a look to Kai and Kai returned to look, mentally telling him that he'll explain later. He nodded and sat down in the lounge chair, pulling Kai down into his lap. Kai settled down, grabbing his hand and entwining their fingers together.
Spencer walked into the room, surprised by all the people. "I thought I heard the doorbell ring." He muttered to himself. He looked for a place to sit, but found none. Bryan jumped up out of his seat and motioned for Spencer to sit down. Spencer did just that and Bryan sat back down in his lap.
King looked around from his seat next to Tala, who had an arm wrapped protectively around his waist, at all the new couples.
Kai and Miguel were talking quietly to themselves, their foreheads together, kissing occasionally. Miguel whispered something that made Kai smile, and gently caressed his cheek. He grabbed the hand that was caressing his cheek and kissed it softly, causing Kai to lean forward, wanting attention from his lips.
Hiro and Claude sat next to each other with Claude's legs hanging over Hiro's. Hiro held one of Claude's hand within his much larger one, while the other caressed the soft silver strains of his hair. He whispered something in Claude's ear, causing him to shiver slightly and smile.
King was slightly startled when he felt Tala nuzzle his neck. He giggled softly.
"You should laugh more often," Tala whispered. "It suits you."
King bashfully smiled and nodded softly. He opened his mouth to say something else but was interrupted by another voice.
"What the hell did you just say, Granger?" Kai snarled from his spot on Miguel's lap. Miguel had his arms around his waist, trying to stop the shorter teen from lunging at the older blunentte.
Hiro rose an eyebrow as Claude slowly removed his legs from Hiro's lap. "The truth hurts, doesn't it?" He asked.
"Not as nearly as much as this will." Kai sneered lifting up his arm and pointing his finger at Hiro.
Hiro blinked and suddenly jumped to his feet. Before Miguel had the chance to strengthen his grip on his boyfriend, Kai also jumped up and began to chase Hiro.
"Get back here, oh Jin of the Gale!" Kai said, sarcastically.
"Not a chance in hell!"
King blinked as Claude threw himself back into the lounge chair. "What happened?" He asked.
"Oh, lets just say Tala isn't the only one who thinks Kai is the terrible 'S' word." Bryan replied, itching to get off Spencer's lap and grab his camera. It's not everyday Kai chases after Hiro and vows murderous revenge.
Claude rolled his eyes and turned his gaze to Miguel sitting next to him. "Miguel, do you think you can stop your boyfriend from killing my boyfriend?"
"I don't know," Miguel replied, smirking. "Do you think you can stop your boyfriend from doing something stupid that pisses off my boyfriend?"
"I'm not a miracle worker, Miguel." Claude replied rolling his eyes again.
Next to him, King could feel Tala snigger. "I shouldn't laugh too much, Tala, wasn't it just yesterday that Kai summoned Dranzer on you for startling him awake?" He asked.
Tala's eye twitched as he remembered. The others in the room sniggered to themselves. "How can I forget?" Tala muttered.
"Kai doesn't go around blowing random people up, you know?" Miguel said as he stretched out on the lounge.
"That's easy for you to say," Tala muttered. "He never tried to blow you up."
"That's because I have never called him the infamous 'S' word." Miguel retorted.
"He's quite a feisty one, isn't he?" Bryan suddenly muttered.
Miguel smirked. "You have no idea."
"How do you put up with it?" Tala asked.
"He isn't hard to get along with, you know," Miguel said. "it's just that you continually get on his bad side."
Tala opened is mouth to reply when Kai and Hiro walked back into the room, both of them had serious expressions on their faces.
"What's wrong?"
They said nothing. Kai walked over and handed a worn envelop to Tala and King. Weary, King took it and glanced at it. He opened it and pulled out a photo. His eyes widen as he looked at the picture.
He suddenly scream and threw the photo away. He jumped off the lounge and backed away from the picture. Everyone in the room looked shocked as tears began pouring from his eyes.
"I'm sorry," Kai said as he hugged him. "It's her, isn't it?"
King grasped onto Kai's shirt, his frame shaking with sobs. He fell to his knees, taking Kai with him. He continued to sob as Kai slowly rocked him back and forth, whispering words of comfort.
Tala looked at the scene shocked. He picked up the picture and looked at it. It was a photo of a basement. On the bottom right hand corner was a figure of a dark hair girl surrounded by blood but the thing that had him startled was that there was a message written on the wall, in blood. It said:
"Your turn."
King teary glanced over Kai's shoulder to look up at Tala as he snarled and scrunched up the photo in his hand. He glanced down at King. He felt Kai move and motion to Tala. Tala quickly moved forward and gathered the sobbing teen in his arms.
Kai walked over to the shocked group and ushered them into the dinning room, to explain, no doubt. He picked up the photo and walked out of the room but not before throwing one last glance at King.
"She's gone," King muttered. "I'm never going to see my sister again." Fresh tears flowed from his eyes.
"He won't get you," Tala said fiercely, holding on tight. "He'll pay for this."
"Please," King muttered. "Please, just protect me, ok?"
"Of course." Tala replied as he gave a fierce kiss to King's lips.
Opps, looks like I killed Queen. I wasn't going to but… um… whoops? -.-;
King: O.o? Whoops? Is that all you can say?
Um… Sorry? I've had a bad day?
