I wanted to write another chapter to 'Infinite Joy' but I somehow ended up writing this instead (sweatdrops) Oh, well, it's all good. I hope you enjoy!

… … … … …

Kai bit back a yawn. Why was he so tired anyway? Did the fact that he had to sleep in the room next to Bryan and Spencer, who happened to be together and like to express their love in a display that happens to keep him awake half the night being forced to listen to their pleasure filled screams have something to do with it? Or was it the fact that every few hours the phone would ring and it would either be a member from the BBA or one of the G revs wondering where he was hiding? He tired to explain to them time and time again that time is different here in America. Just because it's 11 am over there doesn't mean it's 11 am over here.

They don't listen of course.

Growling in his throat, Kai made a mental note to change the phone number and pull it out of the wall tonight, just to make sure. He also made a note to move Spencer and Bryan to a completely different room. A long way away from his.

He was startled from his musing when he heard the front door being forced open clumsily. Kai rolled his eyes. That had better not be Bryan. He thought idly to himself. Last time the door was clumsily flown open in such a way it reveal a drunken Bryan who was barely able to stand on his own two feet.

A split second later Kai thought. You know what? I hope it is Bryan drunk. That means I can finally get some sleep. The two never make love when the other is drunk. Unless both of them are drunk, of course.

Now that will require a totally different rant.

He climbed to his feet to go help the drunken fool in when he saw it was actually Tala and he had someone on his back. He blinked then realized that it was Michael from the PPA All stars.

"Tala, what?"

"Shh," Tala replied and gave a discreet nod behind him.

Kai glanced over his shoulder to find the American was asleep. He stepped aside and let Tala pass. He followed him and watched in silence as Tala gently deposit Michael on his bed. As he moved away Kai noticed that Michael was hurt. A large grazed marred his knee and dried blood was caked to it.

Tala turned around and motioned for Kai to follow him out. Wordlessly, Kai followed. They walked into the lounge room.

"What happened?" Kai asked.

"He was almost creamed by a car," Tala replied. "Where's he first aid kit?"

"The bathroom," Kai replied. "I'll go get it but first explain something to me, why didn't you take him back to the PPA building that's here?"

"He said that he didn't want to go back."

"Didn't want to?" Kai blinked. "Why not?"

"You got me."

Sharing a look, Kai shrugged and headed for the bathroom. He opened the cupboards under the sink and pulled out a large first aid kit. He walked back out into the lounge room to find that the redhead had disappeared. He figured that Tala was probably looking over the American and he headed for the redhead's room.

Sure enough Tala stood at the bottom of the bed, looking down confused at the American. Kai walked in silent and nudged his Russian friend. "What are his injuries?" He whispered.

As if snapping out of a trance, Tala abruptly turned his head to his shorter friend. "Oh, a grazed knee and twisted ankle."

Quietly, Kai nodded and went about to bandaged Michael up. After applying dressings to Michael's injuries, Kai pointed to Tala's closet, mentally telling him to get a set of clothes out for him. Tala arched an eyebrow.

"He is covered in filth and blood. He needs some dry clothes," Kai replied, rolling his eyes. He turned back to the sleeping American. "He is exhausted so that means we will have to dress him ourselves."

"What?" Tala hissed.

It was Kai's turn to raise an eyebrow. "Something wrong?"

At first Tala glared. He then pouted and headed over to his closet, pulling out some old clothes. He pulled out an old pair of track pants and a large white t-shirt that was giving to him a few years ago. He handed the clothes to Kai.

Kai grabbed the clothes from the redhead and set about removing Michael's dirty articles of clothes. He looked over his shoulder and smirked when he noticed Tala's interest in the American. It wasn't hard to imagine the redhead drooling. He noticed that his eyes seemed to widen in delight when he removed Michael's t-shirt, revealing his flat stomach and toned chest. Sniggering to himself, Kai quickly changed Michael into the clean clothes and pulled the blankets over him.

"Looks like his staying here for the night," Kai said, pushing Tala from the room. "And you're sleeping on the coach."

"What?" Tala said, annoyed. "Why do I get the couch?"

"Well, you brought him here and you placed him on your bed, so I assumed you're taking the couch," Kai retorted, smirking at the pouting Russian before him. He was actually grateful that Tala brought him here. It means since there is someone else in the house Spencer and Bryan won't indulge in their quality time like they do every night.

"Night, Tala," Kai said as he turned on his heel heading towards his room. "I'm going to turn in now, keep an eye on Michael, Kay?"

Tala pouted and plonked himself on the couch behind him. "Bloody American," he muttered to himself. "More trouble than he's worth."

… … … … …

A warm bright light hit his eyes causing him to squeeze them close in reflex. Michael rolls over, turning his back to the small ray of light. He abruptly sat up when he remembered that the sun doesn't come in his bedroom window first thing in the morning. Wearily, he glanced around the room. The room was quite large but had very little furniture, a few boxes littered the room as if someone had just moved in.

"Where?" He muttered to himself. He moved to thrown his legs over the side of the bed when a dull pain shot through his leg.

"Oh, right," Michael said, after remembering what happened last night. Well he hope it's last night. Tala had saved him from being creamed by a speeding car and said he was going to take him back to his place.

Suddenly the door open to reveal a familiar dual hair balder.

"You're awake," Kai said, walking into the room. Behind him popped another blader. One Michael hasn't seen since Russia.

"What's he doing here, Kai?" Ian asked, tilting his head to the side. "Is he Tala's boyfriend?"

Michael gagged while Kai laughed. "I'm not Tala's boyfriend!" Michael replied indignant and embarrassed.

"Then why are you in Tala's bed?" Ian asked, smirking slightly.

Michael blushed harder. "This is Tala's bed?" He muttered.

Ian was about to make another snide comment when Kai shushed him. "Enough Ian. Go find Tala," The small blader nodded and skidded out of the room.

Carefully Michael lifted his legs over the side and noticed the clothes he was wearing. He felt his cheeks darken even more when he realized that these weren't the clothes he was wearing before.

"Those are Tala's clothes," Kai explained, walking over to a chair in the corner of the room, picking up another set of clothes. "You're old clothes were dirty, covered with filth and blood so I had to change you into another set of clean clothes."

Michael looked slightly relieved. "Tala didn't -?"

"No, but he watched," Kai replied and he smirked when the blush returned to the American's cheeks ten fold.

"He what!" Michael cried with embarrassed. "That pervert!"

Kai laughed and handed the other set of clothes to Michael. "You seem to fascinate him, Michael."

"I don't care if I 'fascinate' him, Kai. He's still a pervert!"

"True," Kai nodded. "But perhaps you should let this one slide, after what happened last night."

"He told you?" Michael whispered, gently placing the clothes on his lap.

"He said that you were almost hit by a car," Kai replied. "He also said that you didn't want to go back to the PPA building."

Suddenly, Michael felt small. He lowered his eyes to his hands that grasped the bed sheets. "Please don't ask me why," he whispered.

"Of course," Kai replied, his eyes turned soft with understanding.

Michael turned his gaze to him and smiled weakly. A moment later Ian returned, pulling a tired red head behind him.

"Come on, Tala," the little one urged. "You're not official just yet boyfriend is awake."

Suddenly Tala lifted the arm that Ian was hanging onto into the air, taking the shorter teen with it. "What the hell are you talking about?" He sneered.

"Ian, Michael and Tala are not dating," Kai explained gently to the teen who was still hanging in the air.

"Yeah," Michael replied, clutching the clothes Kai had just given him to his chest. "I mean, come on, it's Tala."

"What do you mean by that?" Tala sneered, promptly dropping the youngster to the ground.

"Well to start with, you're a pervert," Michael retorted.

"What!"

Michael climbed to his feet, a little hesitant to walk on his injured leg. He lifted his hand and placed it on the wall as guidance, his other arm clutching the clean clothes to his chest. "You heard me," he said. He then turned to Kai who was looking amused. "Where's the bathroom? I'd like to get change."

"Down the hall and to your left," Kai replied. "Need help?"

"I'll be fine."

"Yeah, I've head that before." Tala muttered.

Michael huffed and slowly made his way down the hall and into the bathroom, locking the door tight behind him.

… … … … …

Aw, Tally is a pervert. Don't worry, Michael secretly enjoys it :P

Next chapter: The other members of the All stars wonder if they should look for Michael.
