"Go ahead. You can't hurt me anymore, Grand-father." Kai spat out.
Tala, Brian, and Ray all gasped. They had often heard of Voltaire's perfect grand-son. Sure the boy had run away, to spite his grand-father, and also to throw all his plans to the sea.
"Well boy. You were lucky last time, but I'm afraid you won't be this time. No one makes a fool out of Voltaire Hiwatari." Voltaire said standing up.
"Well sorry. 'Because it seems I already have." Kai said arrogance in his voice, and a smirk on his lips, and his arms crossed over his chest.
Boris walked up to him and slapped him across the face. Normally the person would go flying to the other end of the room, but all that happened to Kai was his head followed the movement. Kai brought a hand up to his face, once Boris had walked back to Voltaire's side.
"My Boris, I think you're loosing your touch, or are you just happy to see me." Kai chuckled. "You didn't even make me bleed. Well maybe later." Kai smirked.
"You three, close you mouths!" Voltaire bored.
Tala, Brian, and Ray all shut there mouths, which had opened with every thing that happened before them. No one had even stood up or defied Voltaire or Boris.
"Brian show him to his room." Voltaire said.
"His cell sir?" Brian asked.
"No. His room, room." Voltaire said.
"Why grand-father. You're giving me my room back. I would have sworn you would have kept me locked up in the cells. Well thanks. And I know where it is, I don't need any help." Kai said turning on his heals, and left the room and headed off to his room.
"Brian, Tala, follow him, you are to do as he says, and Ray you too." Voltaire stated.
The three bowed and followed Kai.

'Man, of all the places to end up, I had to end up here.' Kai though as he noticed people following him "I don't need anyone, so bug off"
"Sorry. But we have orders. And some of us aren't so fond of getting punished." Tala said.
"Huh." Kai said as he reached his room.
Kai stepped into his room and looked around. Every thing was the same way he had left it. Kai walked deeper into his room keeping the door open so the three could come in. He walked to his dresser and took out a black muscle shirt, and naive blue cargo pants, and then walked to the bathroom, but before he closed the door he turned to the trio.
"Don't touch anything." And Kai disappeared into the wash room.
Kai striped himself of his dirtied clothes, then stepped under the warn shower.

"I can't believe Voltaire's grand-son is back. I remember hearing that he had run off at the age of 5." Tala said.
"Yeah. Voltaire had sent search parties to find him. I had seen him jump off the mention walls out into the forest, but didn't say anything." Brian said.
"You were there when he ran off?" Tala and Ray said in union.
"Yeah, I was also 5 at the time. A year after you Tala were recruited. And Ray was found about two days after you, Tala, were recruited." Brian said.
"Whoa. But why did he run off?" Ray asked.
"Because when you're 5 you don't really like being tested on. Getting drugs and all kinds of liquids put into you." Kai said stepping out of the washroom.
The trio turned around in surprise.
"What do you mean tested on?" Tala said.
"Have any of you been to the basement?" Kai asked.
"No were not aloud down there." Tala said.
"I have." Brian said, looking down.
"And what did you find?"
"I don't really know. All I can clearly remember is being hooked up to a whole lot of machines and getting a lot of needles poked into me." Brian said.
Kai picked up a sharp object then threw it at Brian without warning. Brian had his head down, any normal person would have gotten it threw the head, then died, but Brian easily caught it. Tala and Ray looked over at Kai.
"Are you crazy?" Ray shouted.
"No. I was just showing you something. The stuff they do down there increases your abilities." Kai stated.
"Oh." Was all Tala and Ray said.
"Tala. You can do that too. You were knocked out conscious when they brought you down." Brian said.
"Really? Wow." Tala said, stupidly.
Kai picked up another object and chucked it at Ray. A little like Brian, Ray easily dodged it.
"Hey! What was that for?" Ray questioned.
"Making sure of my assumptions." Kai stated.
"What assumptions?" Ray questioned, putting his hands on his hips.
"That you're a neko-jin." Kai stated flatly.
Ray's arms dropped to his side, as his eye widen in shock.
"Please don't tell, Voltaire or Boris. I beg you." Ray pleaded.
"Don't worry." Kai said.
"Thanks." Ray said with a smile.
