Chapter Six: Bleeding
Of all the people Kai could have been kissing, why Tala?!?! And wasn't Tala with the Abbey still and Boris and the Demolition Boys? Maybe he was here to bring Kai back... No! I can't let that happen!
These were the thoughts running through the tiger's mind, as his golden eyes couldn't move from the scene in front of him. On one point, his heart was crumbling seeing his crush kiss another. On the other hand, he was getting more determined to win Kai and his anger towards Tala only grew more.
He always knew the redhead liked his Kai from the glances he made towards the phoenix when he thought no one was looking. But Rei saw that strange light in the stoic boy's eyes and recognized it easily since it was the same Mariah had towards himself.
'I definitely won't let this happen!' Moving his head back outside of the door, he took another peek to see Kai lying on the bed with Tala sitting on the edge, neither of the lips close enough to kiss. Entering as casually as he could, Rei opened the door and put on his most cheerful smile.
"Hey Kai!" The said boy turned to face the neko-jin.
"Hey Rei, what are you doing here?"
"I just came to check up on you and make sure you're okay." The raven- haired boy smiled and stroked Kai's cheek, much to the phoenix's surprise.
"I'm okay..." Kai looked down hiding the pink tint already making its way to the pheonix's cheeks. (Aku: Kai... blushing... *faints* Kai: -.-)
The tiger turned and his cat eyes narrowed slightly. "Tala, I didn't know you'd be here." Rei said as his arm snaked around Kai's waist.
Tala's eyes narrowed along with Kai's as his voice stayed calm. "Kai is an old friend of mine, so I wanted to make sure the former Demolition member was okay." Edging closer to the phoenix's other side, Tala's hand found Kai's. Feeling very uncomfortable between the two, Kai excused himself to the bathroom and quickly headed in, locking the door behind him.
"So Tala, why are you really here?" Rei asked his eyes fixed in a glare at the wolf.
"Same reason as you, Rei." Tala smirked while nodding his head towards the bathroom. "The only question, is who will win..."
"Stay away from him, Tala! He won't betray the Bladebreakers again!"
Tala's eyes laughed at the tiger's stupidity. "Do you really believe I am here to take back your beautiful leader?"
"Then why are you here? If you don't want Kai, then what is it?"
"But I do want Kai. He's the purpose I am here. I made a promise and I intend to keep it." no emotion was in Tala's voice, but his eyes filled with feelings from sorrow to love to grief to empathy.
"Promise, what promise?" the tiger ask just as the bathroom door opened and Kai stepped out, his silver locks shadowing his eyes. "Kai?"
"Kai..." Tala stood stepping forward to the phoenix.
"Don't come near me." Kai's voice was cold and sending icicles flying at the two. "Don't touch me!" Heading to the window, the phoenix leapt out with the pieces of glass cutting through his skin. Landing on the ground with one knee, he took off sprinting down the street.
"Kai!!" Rei shouted out from the broken window as he was about to jump until a strong hand clasped down on his shoulder. "He's hurt, I have to help him!"
"No, he's going to have to deal with this on his own."
"What are you hiding, Tala?!" Grabbing the crimson haired boy by the collar of his shirt, the neko-jin pushed him into the wall hard. "Tell me!"
Staring hard at the tiger back, Tala turned his head away looking at the shards of glass, many covered with blood with a single red feather in the center of the mess.
'Kai... I will keep my promise.'
***
Rain started to pour as if it knew the boy was out running to his abyss. His pants soaked from the puddles forming beneath his feet, but in his mind, he wasn't running on anything. There was no ground, there was no sky, there was nothing. He continued to run not noticing the awkward looks or the blood pouring from his pale body. Shredded crimson wings hung from his back, limp and lost of their lustful brilliance.
His legs screamed with pain as each step caused more blood to spill, but any physical pain had not reached his mind. The pounding in his chest and head were the ones to strain him. His hair soaked, blocking part of his view. The cold soon passed the defenses, the boy had worked so hard on as his body went numb as he collapsed to his knees.
"Kai..."
Crimson eyes widened as a boy with short raven hair came into his view. His face was covered in water as blue streaks ran down his cheeks from the markings he had and streaks ripped down his eyes, whether the rain or tears.
"Kai..."
The voice was calm and sweet as his hand held out to the other. Accepting the gesture, the phoenix reached out his own hand, but stopped, watching the blood fall from it. Dripping slowly, mixing with the rain, his eyes scanned his bloody hand and then looked over the raven-haired boy. Tracing his crimson eyes over the figure, they widened in horror as a dark blood poured began to trickle from his forehead and his chest like a bullet wound.
"...Kai..."
The taller boy collapsed to the ground, his skin paled stained with crimson from his own and the phoenix's blood. Crimson eyes widened in sorrow at the cold, pale body being buried by the rain water.
"No... no... not again. No!!!!!!!" Kai screamed letting all his anguish out to the world, but no matter how much he screamed, it would never be enough. His eyes closed and everything in his mind shut down. His heart was left to pound against his ribs painfully trying to rip out of their master's binds and escape the pain.
Crimson eyes opened slowly as the rain had seized, but he was still drenched in a puddle. Covered in mud and his body shivering from the cold, he stood up and walked further on. Across the deserted street, pass the stone wall and through the large black fence that help points at the tips and designed in such a threatening manner.
Walking across the damp ground, the phoenix stopped by a stone, tracing his dried blood covered hand over the engraved letters, his blood-shot eyes trailing a bit faster than his hand. Over a name, a quote, and a small description that was only a few words long. And then a set of numbers, a dash... and an end. The markings of a death.
'Sinking...' The word echoed through his mind as he heard it so many times. He didn't understand it back then, why now?
"Kai..."
The phoenix whipped around the face the owner of the voice. His eyes softened slightly, but held the firm gaze. "What do you want, Tala?" He spat out coldly to the crimson haired boy.
"I thought I'd find you here. Visiting again I see."
"Hn." Kai turned back to the stone and looked down letting his eyes be hidden in darkness.
"I thought Voltaire had forbidden you. He even went as far to send you to the Abbey in Russia, so you couldn't come here again."
"Heh." The blue haired boy smirked. "I'm sinking I was told. Running too. Forbidden memories, he called them. Brainwashing, one psychologist after another. Nothing worked, until he took it from me. He literally stole it from me." The phoenix clenched his fists angrily at his sides not caring he was opening his recent wounds from the glass.
"Stole what?" Tala asked, letting the curiosity slip into his voice that was supposed to remain emotionless.
"I don't want it anymore. He can keep it. It's nothing to me."
"Then... why are you here?"
"Because... he wouldn't take what he should've. Both of them didn't do what they planned to do. They knew what would happen, so they left it alone. Damn those bastards..."
Tala looked at his friend, trying to figure out words of comfort, drawing a blank. He wasn't trained to be compassionate. He was made as the perfect weapon and nothing more. Silence was left to keep them both company. Kai enjoyed it while Tala felt uneasy. Finally finding some words, the wolf spoke.
"You should get those wounds bandaged up before they get worse." That was all he could think of to say. He didn't want to ask about who was the one dead and what it meant to Kai. He didn't like others to ask about his personal life, so he didn't want to interfere with others. It was really no business of his. But his curiosity wanted to know why this particular death had trapped Kai in its binds of sorrow.
The two had been through plenty of deaths. Many of the boys that had tried to escape or done something threatening the Abbey were killed in front of the other Abbey residents' eyes, so we wouldn't try the same thing. Some had committed suicide where their bloody, pale bodies were carried to a separate room. Kai and Tala were always the first to find out, as they were the fearless ones. At least, at their young, naïve age of course.
But over the years, Tala felt fear for once. Fear of Boris and Voltaire doing something terrible to Kai. He didn't fear for his own life, but his best friend in the Abbey. But Kai was fearing, not his own death, but something the blue eyed boy couldn't see.
'What is it?' Tala asked himself mentally, his blue eyes scanning over the lean figure of his companion who sat silently, just staring at the stone, as if he looked away it would be gone forever. 'Was that what you feared Kai? That whoever that was... would be lost even as a memory?'
