When The KittyKat ComesA Calling Chapter Twenty: Found but Bound

-:-:-:-

Ray closed the door with a smirk on his lips as he tossed the clean tissue away before making his way towards his bedroom as quietly as possible. He did not want to wake his sleeping beauty.

At least not yet.

-:-:-:-

Kai kicked off his shoes before slamming his fist against the wall—making a small dent. He and Bryan had not found the redhead anywhere, and this worried Kai greatly. He had to be somewhere…they had searched at Ray's but he said he had not seen him.

Kai growled. He did not believe shit from that scheming feline.

The door clicked open and a tall orange-haired nineteen-year-old closed the door before he walked up behind the slate-haired teen. Kai was fully aware of the other's presence. Strong arms wrapped around the frustrated youth, bringing him against his chest.

"Hey Kai," the older man purred.

"Brooklyn, what are you doing here?" Kai sighed, not giving in to the warm touches that tickled down his chest and onto his stomach, bored circles being traced on his midnight blue shirt.

"I've come to play since your kitten seems to have run off," Brooklyn drawled, chuckling at his words used for Kai's…newest toy. Kai's fists clenched at his sides.

"Do you know where he is?" Kai growled. He made no movement, or response when a cold hand dove under and up his shirt and the other hand went to unzip his pants. Kai stopped Brooklyn's actions.

"Why no Kai, I'm not the careless owner who didn't put a leash on him," Kai emitted a low growl removing the arms from his body.

"Do you know where Tala is?" Kai forced through clenched teeth. Crimson eyes dared to look up meeting with giggling blue green eyes.

"It's nice to see you again Kai. Nice to see you've found someone you really care for. I know it didn't work between us, sorry for leaving you, but Kai—glad you have someone now. Frankly, I was testing to see exactly how much your new partner was to you, kissing me back earlier…you should have just pushed me away," Kai glared. He lost Tala because Brooklyn wanted to test him?

His anger flared and Brooklyn then looked serious, telling Kai to calm down.

"I saw a neko-jin carrying your redhead," Brooklyn stated firmly. A heartbeat in the room stopped.

Ray had Tala.

"That lying bastard!" Kai cursed shoving on his shoes and almost tearing his jacket while putting it on. Making his way to brush past his first lover Brooklyn pulled him back catching his lips.

"I don't have time for this Brooklyn!"

-:-:-:-

Golden orbs gleamed gently gazing at the stirring beauty covered in the crimson sheets half naked. Blank blue eyes fluttered open to examine the room he was in.

"How are you feeling?" The raven-haired young adult asked as he eyed the lost boy. The redhead did not answer. Just stared right through the floorboards. Ray smiled gently, crawling across the large bed and pulling the quiet boy into his arms.

"It still hurts, doesn't it?" He dropped a clawed hand down the boy's pants flicking the opening. The redhead flinched away, raising his hips away from the touch. A flicker of emotion ran through the blank eyes, but just for a quick second.

Ray hushed the whimper taking his hand out kissing his cheek sweetly.

"I just wanted to say sorry. I was mad, jealous. I didn't mean to hurt you. Forgive me?" Soothing words, apologies, warm kisses, and touches. That always got Tala back in his arms, and more importantly, back under control without having to harm him. Tala did not respond. Ray tilted Tala's chin up tasting his lips and wanting more, but he would stop for the moment. He did not want to frighten Tala.

"Ray…" Tala gasped. It was hardly heard.

"Forgive me Tala," tears sprung from the blank blue eyes. Someone had hurt him. Ray was apologizing. He…needed to be with someone, someone to protect him, he could never look out for himself. His parents did not protect him, foster, orphanage. No one protected him from harm. But in the arms of the raven-haired male, he felt safe. But there was a nagging feeling that told him he would only get hurt. But he needed someone to hang on to so badly.

Ray…was asking for forgiveness…

A loud knock pierced through the silence and startled them both. Tala unconsciously held onto Ray's shirt, frightened. Ray just smiled, gently pulling Tala off of him whispering he would be back shortly, and he walked out of the room closing the door behind him.

Tala just pulled up the silk red covers pooling around him. Like swimming in his own blood. But the sheets were soft, not wet and sticky or disgustingly smelly. He felt…safe under Ray's care…but the nagging…

Another loud knock made Ray scowl at who could be bothering him now. Unlocking the door the person from the other side burst through causing Ray to fall back.

"Where's Tala?" Kai demanded glaring at the shocked, yet innocent looking Ray.

"I told you, I haven't seen him," Ray answered calmly. He could not let Kai know he was hiding something.

"Bullshit! He isn't anywhere else!"

"Well maybe he committed suicide!" Ray bellowed, telling Kai anything to get him out of his apartment. Kai shook his head before making his way down the hall to his right where he hoped to find the bedroom.

"Hey! You can't go in there!" Kai smirked. Tala was here. Ray ran to catch up to him, but Kai had already entered.

"Tala!" Kai made to step closer to the blank eyed boy but Ray halted him in his tracks.

"Don't you take another step Hiwitari."
