Next chapter!

-------------------Rei's POV-----------------------

Waking up always seemed the hardest part of my day, it was when I was the least coordinated, when I was the most grown up in my mind. When I had to face everything from my dreams…

But I had Bris-bear. He was so kind to me!

His large moonlit eyes and hair always fascinated me.

He hated when anyone touched his body, but he seemed to make the effort to allow me to touch him.

I was very affectionate.

I knew it bugged the heck out of him at times, but he seemed fascinated with the fact that I didn't fear him. Why does everyone fear him? He's a giant teddy bear! He was my teddy bear!

Well….. Anyways.

Sitting up, I arched my back and raised my hands, stretching like a cat. Hey, I was a cat! Or at least…. Somewhat. I'm a neko-jin, or so says the rest of the world.

Squealing as I grabbed Drigger, my forever companion, I leapt out of bed and promptly jumped onto Bry-Bry's bed. On top of Bryan's body, I sat Indian style and started to poke the cheek that was visible to me.

"Go back to bed…"

I grinned happily before he dove into Bryan's bed, under the covers and curled up next to Bryan. He was like a furnace with all the heat he radiated, and being part cat, I soak up heat like a….. like a cat!

Purring loudly when Bryan's hand idly ran through my ebony hair, I heard him chuckle slightly at the noise I made. Pouting, I squealed and started laughing loudly as his hands moved to my sides and started to tickle me.

Five minutes later, I was in him lap while he sat up, me pouting but purring as his hands ran over my back lightly again.

Standing up, I walked into the shared closet of ours and stripped out of my pajamas, tossing the dirty ones in the small basket there and then pulling on a pair of dark blue silk pants- Chinese and a Chinese shirt with a small kitten on the back.

So, I was obsessed with cats.

Not the worst thing in the world.

Running back into our room, I jumped when someone knocked on the door.

Edging towards the bed, I watched as Bryan walked forward to answer it, stepping back to allow the edgy looking Oliver inside. "OLLIE!"

Oliver gave a small laugh as I leapt at him and tackled him for a hug. "What are you doing here?"

Oliver threw me onto my bed and plopped down next to me.

"My roommate is possessed!"

My eyes widened.

Possessed?

Bryan gave an amused snort.

"Don't laugh Bryan! This could be serious!"

Bryan calmed down for me, still smirking as he went into the closet to change also. "Your just too gullible, Kitten." Pouting, I looked to Oliver. "Am I gullible, Olli?" Oliver shook his head, serious as if the world was ending. "Nope!" Breaking into a small giggle, I raised my hands towards the newly emerged Bryan.

He sighed silently, but gave an amused smile as he picked me up like a child and held me to his chest. "Let's get breakfast." Oliver frowned, but led the way. He cooked delicious foods before he came here, the food was disgusting, vile and shouldn't be served he thought.

My chest rumbled as I began to purr again, my face buried in Bryan's neck and Drigger in my arms tightly. Bryan made me feel protected, like daddy couldn't hurt me anymore.

Bryan carried me into the cafeteria, forcing me to wait at the table where Oliver and Tala were sitting. Without giving warning, I sat myself down on Tala's lap.

"Get off, annoying brat."

Smiling softly, I closed my eyes in content as Tala's arms wrapped around my belly. He tickled me briefly, causing me to giggle and squeal until I heard Bryan's soft interrupting cough. "Here's breakfast and your meds."

Tala and I pouted simultaneously as Bryan set down two trays, Oliver behind him with Tala's and his own trays and meds.

"Come on kitten, take your meds."

I knew it was for the best, but my mouth didn't seem to cooperate with my brain.

"NO!"

Damn it! I didn't mean it-

"Don't you dare try and force me to take them!"

Shut up, shut up!

"Leave me alone!"

Two pairs of arms wrapped around my body, instantly different scenes passed through my mind.

…you enjoy it, don't you?

…Take it! Take it and enjoy it!

…So fucking tight, such a child…. Such a beautiful bastard child…

Screaming as loud as I could, I attempted to jerk out of the bands- no hands holding me down onto the bed. What… where was I!

"Let me go, I promise-" Moonlight eyes came into focus above me, Bryan's relieved smile not yet filtering into my brain.

"I promise I'LL BE GOOD!" I screamed as loud as I could, trying to appease him.

My father…

"No Rei, no one's going to do anything to you, calm down kitten."

Shut up Rei, just shut your mouth.

"No, I'm a bad child, a bad child! Forgive me, I swear I'll be good!"

Rocking as far as the hands would allow me, I tried to move away from Bryan, from anyone who could possibly correct my errors.

"Please don't rape me!"

Tears ran down my face unchecked, sobs coming out of my mouth before I could stop them.

Arms scooped me up, holding me securely against a familiar chest, the familiar scent of mint engulfing my senses.

Sobbing, I allowed myself to be rocked.

"You must settle down Rei, or you'll be forced to take more medication."

"Please don't, I'll be good!"

Rocking more so, I opened my eyes to look up at Bryan. "Please Bry-Bry, I'll be good." Bryan's eyes softened a fraction, I briefly heard the sound of sniffles in the room. Looking around, I spotted Tala.

"Tala…? Wolfie?"

Tala looked up from where his face had been shadowed, revealing glistening eyes.

"What… what's wrong Tala? Did I do something wrong again?"

----Regular POV-----

"What… what's wrong Tala? Did I do something wrong again?"

Tala's tears nearly fell as he shook his head. "No baby, you did nothing wrong. You never did."

Rei looked down briefly, debating with himself. "Then…. Then why did I get hurt? Why did daddy have to punish me?"

Tala shook his head, closing his eyes tightly.

"Because… because your daddy was an evil man."

Rei looked curious, his expression lost and that of a four year olds. "But…"

Tala leaned a crossed the room and touched Rei's cheek, wiping away a small smudge. "No kitten, your perfect the way you are."

A small smile, but that smile made Rei smile, who's smile lit up the entire room.

"Now, how about we take our meds- at the same time?"

Rei nodded, eying Tala who grabbed both their med cups and put a glass of water in one of Rei's hands, and his own meds in the other.

Tala and Rei watched each other, smiling as they finished their pills.

Rei gave a small smile as he held out his arms. Tala was about to pick up the kitten when the door was knocked on.

"Come-"

"In."

Bryan's voice fell flat when he noticed several nurses walk in, all male and all looking stern.

"We need to take Rei Kon to the medical facilities. It has been reported that he had a fit."

Rei didn't understand what was going on, but he didn't like how Bryan tensed up and held him securely. "He's better now, your not needed." the nurse shook his head, stepping forward and easily lifting up Rei.

Rei gave a cat like shriek and started to claw at the man's arm, who with professional finesse, jabbed a needle into Rei's neck and knocked Rei out.

Tala and Bryan watched silently as Rei's limp form was carried off out of sight.

"Bryan…?"

"Yeah."

"I hope Rei comes back."

"So do I…"
