Chapter 2: old friends

--------Last time-------

"Friends! What and idea! What an idea," Kai frowned as Boris seemed to become excited. "Get to the son you get to the thrown? What an excellent child you are."

Glancing at his brother, Tala, Kai saw he was just as confused as he himself was.

"Tomorrow Kai your training begins,"

"What training is this father?"

"Your training to become king! Your path is now clear for you to concur it!"

-----Now------

A year past and Ray kept his promise to his father; he didn't go looking for Kai. He just prayed every day he went to the market that Kai would come and look for him.

Unfortunately Ray never had such look. He could still see Kai's perfect face and ruby eyes. Ray soon longed to hear Kai's voice; it wasn't long till he dreamt of their meeting, how they would just talk and laugh.

The king seemed to notice Ray's longing, so he ordered for Ray's tutor to increase the workload for his son and made Ray take up numerous activities.

One day when Ray was heading out his father stopped him in the grand Hall.

"Ray, I do not want you to go to your fencing lesson today. You shall be going to a royal meeting, there you shall represent me and our kingdom"

"Yes father,"

A few minutes later Ray was sat in the royal carriage, as they past the borders of the pride lands Ray gazed at the Hill that separated the pride lands and the outsiders. Sighing Ray tried to divert his thoughts from Kai.

-----A few feet away-----

Boris watched carefully from behind the bush he was crouching behind. He could see the Royal carriage. Smirking he turned to his troops.

"Get into positions now!"

"Yes sir!" Suddenly the troops jumped in trees, crouched behind other bushes all holding guns and swords ready to attack.

Looking away from the troops Boris turned to the teenager sat next to him. He was beautiful he couldn't deny it but he wasn't naïve or vulnerable. He was a trained killer, he was trained to woo anyone, and he was Kai.

"Do not forget the plan, our future and success relays on you and you alone Kai. If you succeed you could become King."

Kai smirked at Boris and replied, "Do not worry, I shall not fail you,"

Soon the carriage was right on top of where they hid. Suddenly the troops rushed out of their hiding places and attacked.

-------Ray----

The carriage gave a sudden jerk as shouts and screams sounded. Unsure of what to do Ray jumped out. What met his eyes scared him.

His horsemen and guards either lay dead or were consumed in a bloody battle. One man turned to Ray, "Look the Prince get him!"

His eyes widening Ray turned and ran. But no matter how fast he ran one of the men where right behind him.

Suddenly Ray felt someone jump on him sending to the ground. He was turned on his back so he looked up at a young boy with purple hair. A vision suddenly flashed before Ray's eyes.

'The boy with Kai!'

He pulled out a dagger and held it above Ray's chest. Just as he was about to strike, Ray closed his eyes waiting. Nothing happened but Ray felt the weight on his stomach disappear.

Opening his eyes Ray looked around the purple haired teen was stood near him fighting another, who he couldn't make out. Scurrying to his feet Ray saw the dagger swipe at the stranger's side.

It hit its target but the stranger carried on. Soon the purple haired teen grew tired and turned and fled.

"That's right, flee you scumbag!" The stranger shouted after him. Ray began to approach the stranger.

"Pardon me but who are you?" Ray couldn't believe his voice was shaking, he was meant to be the prince goddamn it.

The stranger slowly turned and went into a defence position making Ray gasp, "Kai!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Stupid idiot, like he actually tired to stab me! Wait till father hears about that he is so dead!"

"Pardon me but who are you?" Taking a deep breath Kai turned and went straight into the defence position just as he had practised.

"Kai!"

'Glad to know he remembers me," Kai stood straight, flashing Ray with his smile making him blush. 'This will be so easy,'

"Are you alright your majesty?" Bowing Kai added, "I'm very sorry for how I acted last time you graced me with your present."

His blush deepening Ray replied, "Please call me Ray and you knew not of who I was. I am very well all thanks to your heroic action,"

'God that smile is gorgeous, and look at his body how did I miss that last time?' Ray continued musing as Kai watched the raven teen's eyes look him up and down.

Suddenly there was a shout and a guard came running to Ray's side, "Your highness are you ok?"

He soon noticed Kai and aimed his gun at him making Kai raise his eyebrow. "Wait!"

They both looked at Ray who had paled at the gun pointing at Kai, "This man just saved my life, lower your gun now," the guard returned his glare to Kai who smiled smugly. Slowly the guard abolished

"He is not to be harmed understand. I shall return back to the castle to tell my father of what has happened."

Walking up to Kai Ray grabbed his arm before dragging him back to the carriage leaving the guard speechless.

--------Back at the castle-------

The King stood in the grand hall his son and outsider in front of him, "What is the meaning of this Ray? I told you not to go looking for this boy, he is and outsider."

Ray glanced at Kai blushing, he did not wish for Kai to know of his obsession with him, "Father, this outsider just saved my life,"

The king looked from Ray to Kai to the guard, "The prince speaks the true your highness,"

Sighing the king rubbed forehead thinking. After a few seconds he turned to Kai, "I am sorry I am in your dept. I'll give you almost anything you ask."

Hiding his smirk Kai answered, "I only wish to be allowed to live here in the pride lands your highness," Kai even added in a bow.

"As you wish you may live here in the pride lands," The king turned to leave, "father wait!"

"What is it Ray?"

"Where shall he live?"

"He shall have to find accommodations."

"Couldn't he live here father? He did save my life?" Ray crossed his fingers behind his back as his father looked at him, Kai on the other hand mentally smiled, 'Everything is going to plan.'

"Fine Ray but he is your responsibility,"

Smiling Ray thanked his father and dragged Kai off to a spare room.
