Chapter 7: Close Call

Tyson sighed as he heard the rusting coming closer. But he didn't move. He didn't want to. He was tired and hungry.

"Who's there?" he asked finally as the thing came just beyond the trees.

"Tyson?" shouted a voice from a bunch of bushes to the right. "Tyson!"

Before he could say anything, Tyson found himself in the arms of a certain phoenix prince.

"Tyson" Kai said holding onto his precious mate. "Thank god you're alright"

"Kai" Tyson said backing away. "Where's Rei? Is he mad at me?"

Kai looked like he was about to laugh, but instead he just smiled.

"No. now lets get you back to the fort" he said taking Tyson's hand and walking him through the forest. "There is a clearing over here so we can take off there"

Tyson didn't say anything; he just let Kai walk him to the clearing. The entire time he was thinking of that blue eyed beastman who totally scared him and then healed him.

'What a strange man" he thought as he followed Kai in taking flight. 'Tala, until we meet again'

"Tyson!" Max cried when his tired friend and Kai walked through the giant iron doors. "You're alright!"

"I'm ok Maxie" Tyson said before nearly collapsing. "Ok maybe not"

"Kai" Rei said appearing in the entrance hall. "Tyson. Good to see that you made it back alright"

"You're not mad at me?" Tyson said in surprise.

Everyone except Tyson laughed.

"No" Rei said getting over his fit. "I'm not angry at you. Although I should leave if I want to save myself from Kai's wrath"

"You can stay Rei" Kai said smirking. "I'm not going to do anything to you. But lose my koi again, and then there will consequences"

Rei laughed nervously, but it was a fake, joking laugh.

"Just as long as you don't do anything to my Max" Rei said wrapping his arms around Max's waist.

Kai shook his head. "Whatever"

"Ok" Tyson said turning around to face Kai. "I need to know. What is going on here? Why can I change when my sister can't? It's obvious she can't because she would have thrown me off a cliff"

"First" Kai said glaring down at his storm eyed angel. "Why do you let your sister keep hurting you? I will not just stand here and let you bad mouth yourself. Why does your sister hate you so much?"

Tyson didn't speak. He looked like he was ready to hit Kai but was restraining himself. Finally, not being able to look at the prince any longer, Tyson stormed off down one of the halls and out of sight. Kai made to follow, but Max called him back.

"I'll tell you why this happening" he said. "Rei, stop that!"

Rei had been purring into the boy's ear. And of course, now that he had good hearing, it was getting annoying.

"Let's go to the kitchen" Rei said reluctantly letting go of the blond. "I was going to start dinner anyways"

They walked to the kitchen. While Rei made dinner, Max started to tell Kai the reasons for Tyson's behavior with his sister.

"First of all" he said. "Tanya hates Tyson with a royal passion. Because, when Tyson was born, his mother died giving birth to him. Tanya was so grieved about the lost of her mother that she started to blame Tyson. But it stopped when they moved into their aunt's home. But then Tyson's dad and older brother left for an archeological dig, she started to act up again. I can't count how many times she's tried to kill him"

There was a sound of breaking glass that caused Max to stop. Kai had crushed his glass of wine in his hand. Wine spilled everywhere as the glass dug into his hand causing blood to flow.

"Kai?" Max said shocked.

Tyson grumbled as he walked down the hall completely lost. He was mad. Mad at him for not facing the others. Mad that neither Kai nor Rei were answering his questions.

"Damn it!" Tyson said opening another door only to find another bedroom. "Where the hell is the exit in this place?"

"Awww is my little one angry?" said a voice behind him.

Tyson turned to see Tala sitting on one of the open windows looking at him in the pale moon light.

"How the heck to you get that window open?" Tyson demanded. "I must have tried every window in the house and none of them budge and then you show up and open a window like it was nothing!"

Tala looked at him before he burst our laughing. Tyson glared at him and turned to leave.

"Leaving so soon?" Tala asked as he got over his fit of laughter. "You're just going to desert me here? When I came all this way to see you?"

"You to see me?"

Tala smirked making his fangs very noticeable.

"Of course I came to see you" he said jumping down from the windowsill and walking up to the wide-eyed boy. "I would do anything to see you again. You're a very beautiful Nevrast. There is no way that I would let you go again"

Tyson was about to protest when a pair of velvet lips met his own. Tala had his arms around the boy, pressing him closer to deepen the kiss. Tyson was too shocked to do anything. Tala took the advantage and explored the rich damp cave with his tongue. After about a minute, they broke part for the much needed air. Tyson was still in a daze. Tala mentally smirked; he had the power to control whoever he kissed.

"W-wow" Tyson said in breaths.

Tala smirked and picked Tyson up bridal-style. He quickly carried him to one of the many bedrooms. Tyson giggled making it harder for Tala to restrain himself.

"Ty-koi" Tala said as he placed Tyson the bed. "Do you want me to show how to get rid of you wings?"

"But you said they were pretty" Tyson said pouting making Tala have another flash of lust.

"But they get in the way a lot" Tala said taking off Tyson's shirt. "They can appear whenever you want them to, but if you don't want them to, I can show you how to make them go back inside you"

"Really?" Tyson said with a cute face that could melt even the coldest of hearts.

"Yes koi" Tala said placing his hands on Tyson's bare back.

After a little while, Tyson could feel his wings retreat back into his body, but it didn't feel painful.

"Good boy" Tala said getting into the bed with Tyson. "Now just relax, I'm not going to hurt you"

'I want to take him now so bad" Tala thought as Tyson sighed contently and cuddled into his chest. 'But I need to lure him out of here before I can'

(A/N- just to let you guys know, i can't write lemons. but i may try to later in the story if you readers ask me to!)

After about an hour he heard, voices coming from the hallway. Mentally cursing, Tala left the warmth of Tyson and the bed. Grabbing his shirt, he walked over to the window, pulled it open and jumped out of the room. No doubt Kai was looking for Tyson.
