Chapter 10: Permission.

Ray looked at Kiah bewildered, "Kai wouldn't kill you, and besides it was just a dream."

Kiah tilted her head to face him, "But it was so real."

Ray held her close and whispered in her ear, "Nothing will hurt you while I'm here. Not even Kai given if he went insane."

Kiah laughed there was something about Ray that made her feel safe, her brother wouldn't harm her even if he was told to...

RING RING!

"AH!" Kaih jumped as the phone rang. "Wha-?"

Ray looked into her eyes as if to say, "Don't worry come if you want to."

Ray and Kaih rose from the couch and headed to the phone hook, Kaih took only two steps away form Ray so he could answer the telephone, "Hello Kon residence."

"Hi Ray it's Kai do you know where Kiah is? She didn't come home today."

Ray looked over at the young girl, covering the mouthpiece he spoke, "It's Kai. Do you want to talk to him?"

Kiah nodded and breathed in deeply trying to slow herself down. Ray returned to his conversation with Kai, "Yeah Kai she's here would you like to talk to her?"

"Yes please and thankyou Ray."

Ray laughed and handed the handset to Kiah, "H-hello?"

"Kiah are you alright? Have you been crying? Are you hurt?"

"Kai slow down, yes I'm fine, it's none of your business and no I'm not hurt." Kiah replied trying to remember all his questions.

"Ok but why is it none of my business? It's my business if my lil' sis' has been crying."

Kiah looked at Ray for an answer but he just smiled and mouthed "You say what you see fit."

"Well... if you must know BUG brother, I have been watching movies with Ray and the last one made me cry ok? It is normal to cry ok?"

"Since when was I a bug?"

"Since you bugged me now Kai I'm kinda busy but- huh? What Ray?"

Ray held up a note pad with the words "Ask if you can stay. My dad won't mind, and we can get pizza!." on it.

"HEY KAI!" Kiah practically shouted into the reciever.

"OUCH what?"

"Heh can I stay at Ray's house tonight? He says it isn't a problem."

Kai thought for a moment, 'He wouldn't hurt her and I know where she is and I can always see her tomorrow at school...' "Alright, on one condition."

Kiah sighed, "What condition Kai?"

"You order pizza and give me a slice tomorrow ok?"

Kiah smiled in relief and finished the call, "Ok Kai it's a deal, night love ya!"

"Yeah night."

Kiah hung up and flung herself at Ray, "He said yes, I just have to give him a slice of pizza tomorrow."

Ray tilted his head down at the teenager in his arms, 'She is so trusting. And she is so different from Kai...' "Typical Kai but I thought Tyson would have asked for pizza not him..."

Kiah looked up, "That's my bro for ya." 'If only I could say what I feel...' "Thankyou Ray..."

Ray smiled and held up the phone, "Pepperoni or Hawaiian?"

Laughing their troubles away, the duo headed into the kitchen to debate about what pizza's to get and how to explain the bill to Ray's father...
