Chapter 7: Hiro where are you? (Who is the real traitor?)

Ray snapped out of the connection with Kai and Tala to Rose looking scared infront of him.

"Who can prove I'm innocent Sir?" Rose asked timidly, behind her Boris was slowly getting to his feet spitting blood onto the floor he whispered, "Traitor"

Ray smiled at Rose not noticing their enemy, "Your friends Rose. Max, Hiro and myself."

Rose looked up at the young prince and muttered, "But Hiro is still at my home, and Max couldn't have made it out alive."

"OH YEAH!" A voice nearby called.

Rose turned to see a blonde kid on crutches smiling at the doorway next to a green haired boy and another kid with blue hair dressed the same.

"MAX!" Rose flung herself towards the young blonde who tried (and failed) to stop her from bombarding him with hugs.

Muffelled, Max whimpered, "Leg... sore... you... crushing... me!"

"Oops." Rose quickly got off of Max and helped him up. "Sorry about that Maxie, I'm just so glad that you're alive."

Max smiled and stated, "You had me worried but now we know that we are both safe, where's Kai and Tala?"

Rose looked crestfallen at his question yet answered it, "They are both dead, I heard Tala get shot but I watched Kai die." Max was on the verge of apologizing when the blue haired kid cut in.

"Where is Hiro Granger?"

Rose looked at the once silent teen, shocked beyond words she didn't have the heart to say that she didn't know, he was the only person in that school that she hadn't kept tabs on as she respected his privacy. "I... I..."

"She doesn't know." Ray said.

Everyone in the room turned to Ray , Boris had gotten to his feet and was pulling out a nasty looking dagger.

Ray sensed something in Boris' direction and turned to face Rose, "Stop him."

She turned to see that Boris was aiming for her and her new found friends, "Oh no you don't."

Whipping out her weapon she focused on it knocking him out, strangly enough it did. After three tries.

Ray looked out across the floor only to find that this wasn't what he saw, the room that he was looking into was burned, a young man only in his mid 20's was un-concious at the edge of the room, Ray took a step forward, "Hiro?" He asked.

The young man stirred, only slightly but it was re-assurance that he was alive. "Rose can you hear me?"

Rose had just finished putting away the whip when Ray spoke, "Yeah."

Ray looked back to Hiro, he opened one eye and saw a vision of Ray "Ray, I can't open a portal I don't have the strength, can you get Oliver to heal me?" clutching his side Hiro winced and looked up at his colleague, "Ray Kon!"

Sanpping out of it Ray asked aloud a very confused Rose one simple question, "Can you help me?"

Rose nodded and said, "Yeah I think so what with?"

"Take my hand." Ray replied. Rose did as she was asked, when she did though what she saw was different from anything she had ever experienced.

"Hiro it's ok Rose is here she can help." Ray said, Hiro looked up and saw Rose looking completely bewildered.

"Thanks Ray, just hurry I can't hang on much longer."

Ray turned to Rose and gave her some hurried instructions, "Rose hold out your hand and focus on making his wounds heal ok, I know you can do this."

Rose nodded, facing Hiro she closed her eyes. Both herself and Hiro were softly glowing, the light emitting from them was golden. In the light you could just see Hiro's wounds start to disappear, pain flowed through them but it was dulled by the strength of the young albino. After about a minute Hiro looked at Rose and Ray. He smiled and whispered a quick thanks before opening a black portal and staggering through it. Ray grinned and took them back to where they were standing just in time to see a really pissed Tyson fall on his butt to get away from the portal that opened nearby.

"Tyson, what are you doing on the floor?" The elder of the present brothers asked nearly tripping over his younger sibling.

Tyson's jaw dropped. Regaining his composure he started on telling Hiro everything he had ever wanted to say, "I thought you were dead, you never check in to say 'Hi'.! I hate you so much Hiro! I hate you!" Forgetting about being tough he flung himself at his brother before sobbing onto his shoulder,

Hiro merely smiled and said, "If you hate me why aren't you trying to bring harm to me as much as it is humanly possible?" Hiro cocked his head at Tyson, breaking the hug Tyson crash tackled his elder brother.

"That good enough bro?"

Laughing the two family members had a muck around fight crying over that the other was safe and back home, the reunion didn' t last long however.

"Kyrose that whip of yours is very annoying, why don't I take it back for a while TRAITOR!"

Hiro stopped the fun and looked from his upside down point of view at Boris who was once again standing and ready to fight.

Rose spun around tears staining her face, "You destroyed my only family, you don't deserve the compassion that is given by others."

Rose pulled out her whip and struck Boris with such force and speed that 8 strikes later his body seemed stunned, Ray looked closely at Rose and saw that there were more tears on her face, hatred burned in her eyes, she wanted him to feel the pain that he put her and her friends through. "I HATE YOU!"

Rose raised the whip for the ninth time her hand was shaking. A calm voice whispered in her ear as a hand grabbed her wrist, "Let it go Rose."

Rose cried harder and her grip on the weapon tightened, they didn't feel her pain, "Nothing can hurt you, I'll keep you safe."

Sobbing she dropped the whip and fell to her knees, someone behind her pulled her into a tight embrace. Holding their hands she watched Boris' body fall apart to the floor.

"Tyson get rid of his body." The same gentle voice held together as it gave the command. Tyson conjured a portal beneath the pieces of the body and made the exit outside the castle.

Everyone turned to face Rose, her eyes were closed so she would never know that Ray was the one holding her. He nodded at the other companions and they left the room once again.

Ray tried in vain to stop her tears but knew that some wounds never heal. Only one thought passed through his mind, 'Who is the real traitor?'
