I'm very grateful and will never end thanking God for all the encouraging and magnificent reviews I receive from you guys, and that's the best part of writing a story.

I feel so glad when you like the things I write, and feel very sorry for all the grammar and spelling mistakes you will find in this piece of writing. As I said before, my mother language is not English and every time I write in this language I do it because it helps me to practice, and besides I know that many of you like what I write and… in the end I write this for you people.

Here it's chapter 23! Have fun!

When the love has to end: Chapter 23: Her eyes.

"Tala and Bryan, would you please come here? I'd like to ask you some questions."

"Yes lady…" both companions walked near the woman, and sat on the two seats that were the closest to Irena, who started taking notes.

"Shall I start?" asked Tala. Bryan nodded at him, so Tala went on. "I was taken to the abbey after my parents were killed. Truly I don't remember my parents…. I don't even remember their names… I wish I could though. But no one knows them, when they were killed the only thing I had as birthright was my father's surname. I was told I had a sister too, but she's supposed to have been killed by the men that broke into my house that day. I lived in China, with my family. My dad's Chinese, and my mother is Russian. I was born in Russia, but we went to live to China when I was a baby.

I lived in the abbey since then… I never escaped, due to the fact that I had nowhere to go. While the other kids came to tell me what they had made them because of the wrong behaviors, I had no idea of what a punishment was.

I started receiving kicks and punches when Kai arrived to the abbey. He turned to be my best friend, so I fought for him some times. And because of that, I got the punishments."

"Were you ever raped?" asked the interviewer.

"… yes." The red haired answered above a whisper. "Twice. One as a child, and one during the tournament in Ottawa. Those punishments were given to me every time I tried to warn Kai about something, and I was discovered."

"I think that's enough for you, thank you Tala."

"Hn. Bryan, you should tell her…"

"I know. I… was taken to the abbey by my parents." Everyone gasped in shock as they listened to this. "I had an older brother… who was strong, rude, and… as my parents said, perfect. Instead, they thought I was worthless, and I had to be risen up to be more perfect or as perfect as my brother was. So they took me to be risen up by them. That's why I never went through the worse punishments… my parents are alive."

"So why don't you go and meet them…?"

"Doesn't it seem obvious? They hate me… so I hate them. I fought for Biovolt because I really believed I had to be like my brother… Tala made me change my mind. I don't remember when I realized that all the corporation's people where brainwashers that only wanted you to give them power and strength to do whatever.

Anyway, in front of Boris I always behaved as if he mattered to me, as if I esteemed him. And that's how I got some privileges inside the abbey."

"Which were those?"

"I had free entry to Boris' office. But what he didn't know is that I had changed… and then I stole, with Natasha's help, the keys… for the room where he was hiding the little children."

"You never went through punishments?"

"Kicks were given to every children… and I was included in those. But no worse punishment than that to me."

"Thanks. You might return to your seats, Natasha, could you please come here?"

Bryan walked back to were he was sitting before the interview, and placed a kiss on the girl's lips. She smiled, and walked next to Irena.

"What… do you need to know?"

"You could start by saying how you got to the abbey, and how your life there was like."

"Ok… I was meant to live in that place. I'm Boris' daughter." Most of the sleepy faces' eyes opened wide as they heard that. "I know nothing about my mother… as my father told me, she abandoned me when I was a baby and left him to rise me up alone. As he worked in that place, he took me there… and I was the only girl at the abbey. I could almost do whatever I wanted there, as long as I didn't free any of the recruited boys.

I even had on my charges most of the abbey keys. I could go wherever I wanted, my dad was permissive in that way. He never punished me… until he did. I… went only once through the 'special training'."

Irena listened carefully. Was that man that mad to rape his own daughter? Besides, none of the abbey teens were able to say the word 'rape'. Instead, they said 'special punishment' or 'special training'… if they didn't call it 'that' or 'it'.

"My dad said I was so alike my mother, and I had just her same… eyes. So he… went on with it. It was only once… but I hope it helps you to take Biovolt down."

"It will. Thank you very much, Natasha."

"Your welcome." Then the violet haired returned to her seat and wrapped Bryan. Some not cried tears fall from her grey eyes, definitely different from her father's. Bryan's arms around her shoulders wrapped her tightly, comfortingly.

"It's ok, sweetie… it's ok." Whispered her boyfriend. It was a great relief for some of them The Trainer's death. But for Natasha it was also something hard to deal with… after all… he was her father.

Then he looked at the previously mentioned eyes. Those were unique, and were the ones that had made him fall deep in love with that girl.

Interviews were ready. Now the trial was the only thing left. In addition to this, half an hour of bus travel since they got to Tyson's Dojo.

Most of them were asleep, or resting until they got there. Besides, Kai and Hilary had another thing left.

"Finally… everything's going to be over Kai."

"It probably will… but… certainly I don't want this to be over… without getting something from you first."

Light pink covered Hilary's cheeks. "You… want Me to kiss You?"

"Right… please."

"O.. kay…" her ruby eyes met with his crimson ones. God he was perfect. She started to get closer to him… and closer… and closer… she could feel the winter smell that distinguished him.

She made her lips met with him at last. Russian taste invaded her mouth as he pulled her closer with his hand behind her neck, and ran his tongue through her lower lip.

Damn he was perfect. Everything on him was. Even the biggest mistake he could make, made him more perfect… because it made him more human.

The kiss lasted long, and characteristic on him was also the perfect balance between possession and love he made every time he kissed her.

His right hand held hers, while his left was still behind her neck, and her left hand was behind his shoulders, shyly playing with his blue hair, just like the first time they had kissed.

Tala's POV

I smiled as I saw them finally together. I realized he loved her… more than he could ever love someone else. God it had being difficult to him to leave her behind during the time he had spent in the abbey. But he had never forgot her… Never. Even in the most special moments, he had always remembered his girlfriend.

I had to admit Kai was the person I admired the most. He was my best friend… and I could never forget how much he meant to me. For him I was going to do anything… and for him I was going to fight against Voltaire and his corporation.

I decided to pay a look at what the person next to me was doing. Kenny was sending some mail… to… Tyson's dad?

"What are you doing?" I asked curiously.

"Sending an e-mail. It's to inform Tyson's dad we're arriving with some children that need to be checked up by a nurse, and so I'm asking him to call some nurse to the Dojo."

"Hn." I looked at my back. The five infants were sleeping after what had being a long day. It was going to be 11:00 pm.

I yawned and sighed as the minibus stopped in front of Kinomiya Dojo. Wait… where were us going to sleep?

NORMAL POV.

"Ok, everyone out of here, we're going inside!" called grandpa. "Tyson, wake up dude! We're home!" he shouted to his grandson. Everyone laughed at this comment. As they started going outside, Tala stood and stared at the kids.

Then he held in his arms one of them, and started walking to the exit. "Hey Bry, help me with this will you?"

"Sure," smirked the lilac-haired. Also Kai, Natasha and even Hilary stayed and got one of the sleeping children in their arms.

Once inside the Dojo, everyone sat around the table. Tyson dad hugged his son and asked him about the kids, who were finally waking up.

Kai looked around… something was strange here… then he looked at the woman who was standing beside the man.

"Who's her… where do I know her from?" asked the teen to Hilary, who was sitting next to him.

"She's Krina, don't you remember? From the Canadian championship…"

"You're right… what is she doing here anyway?"

"Can you call the children?" he heard the woman ask to Tyson's dad. Tala got up from where he was sitting.

"I will bring one of them here. You're supposed to check them up, right?" he asked.

"Yeah. I'm a nurse."

"I know." Tala walked to Tyson's room, where the little ones were. "Rehki… come with me please." He asked to the Chinese boy.

"What's happening? Where are we?"

"We are in Tyson's Dojo. He's a good friend. Please, come with me… a nurse is going to check you up."

"A… nurse? Isn't she going to… Tala…"

"You'll be alright. I promise."

"…Ok." He walked to the red haired teen and put up his sight in order to look at his blue eyes. "Are we safe?"

"You can say so. It's short missing."

"That's great!" exclaimed the little one.

Around half an hour after there was only one of the kids left to be checked up. And that was Jonathan. When Tala was going to look for him, he was stopped by a rude voice... "I'll take him."

"But… Kai, why?"

"I know why. He… received the 'special training'. I want to be with him." Explained the blue haired guy.

"Rehki did too, remember? But he behaved while being checked…"

"Johnny feared me, there's no reason for him not to fear Krina"

"Ok…" Tala sighed and walked to where Hilary was, taking a seat next to her.

Kai went to Tyson's room, and walked back to the room were Krina was checking the children. After closing the door behind him, leaving only the three of them inside, he spoke to the nurse.

"Listen… you might know the punishments that are held in the abbey… so please, be aware that Johnny went through those."

The nurse gasped in shock. "At… his age?" she asked.

"At his age… anything could have happened to him." Was Kai's reply.

"Would you please leave the room?" demanded the nurse. Kai raised an eyebrow. "Sure, whatever." She acceded at last.

"Kai?" asked soon the little boy, when he was sat on the chair.

"What?"

"What… is she going to make me?" his breath was short and scared.

"Be calm Johnny. She's not going to harm you, okay?"

"Kai…? I'm scared…"

"I'm here. I won't leave your side." He promised, biting his lower lip.

Tears didn't stop running by the kid's face while he was checked up. Then the nurse finally said it was over, and Jonathan hugged Kai. "I'm sorry… but it was something you had to do" explained the teen.

"I know." Kai opened the door, and he walked to were his friends were.

"Please, call some of the guys, I don't know, Bryan, Tala or the girl Natasha. I should check all of you as well. It'll be easier in the trial if you have medical diagnosis."

"Hn. Sure." He walked out of the room, and called Tala to go. After him went Bryan, and then he called his girlfriend.

Natasha entered to the room. She looked at the woman piercingly.

"Is there something wrong…?" asked the woman, slowly pausing herself while looking at her eyes.

"… That."

"…Y… your eyes… are… so much… alike mine…" whispered the nurse.

"I… had never seen the same eyes I have."

"I did once… and that's when I had a daughter. I… saw her only once."

"Why?" asked the teen, completely confused and worried.

"Because… she died. She died after being born. I was holding her in my arms when they took her to be checked up. Then… when she was supposed to be coming back… the girl's dad told me that she had died… she was supposed to have an illness… anyway, I couldn't see her body… I was told I should stay there…"

"But… you were her mother…"

"Yes… but her father wouldn't let me see her corpse. He told me it would be so painful… and then she was buried and…" some tears and sobs interrupted her telling.

"Don't worry… you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to…" the girl wrapped the woman protectively.

"It's that… I had never seen those eyes again and… I'm sorry"

"Don't be… you should go on with this… I'm sure your daughter is in the dearest place in Heaven"

"Thanks… Natasha."

When she was ready, she left the room and called the blue haired teen, who was talking to his girlfriend in a corner of the room.

"Whatever…" Kai sighed, before closing the door behind him and taking away his shirt for the nurse to check him up.

"Why… are you so similar to him?" asked Kai suddenly.

"What?!" the nurse gasped, looking at the teen's eyes.

"Your movements… your facial features… your hands… everything… except… your hair and eyes… and the fact that you're a woman. You are similar to Boris Balkov. Don't try to hide it… I know Boris for long and well enough… and besides, it's not only me that thinks that… Johnny and Rehki's behavior while they were checked say the same."

"If I tell you something… you must promise not to tell anybody."

"I won't… until YOU tell everybody."

"I'll see what to do… but since you've found out my likeness to that man… I should tell you… my real name is Krina Balkov."

"W… What??!" Kai gasped in shock.

"I'm… I'm Boris' sister." Kai leaned his back against the wall suddenly. His breath started to fasten unconsciously, he couldn't close his eyes because of the fear he was feeling… his hands tightened and his heartbeat fastened as well… "Kai! No, I promise I won't hurt you! Please let me explain!"

"Tell me! Tell me everything that could mean that you're different from him! You even speak Russian!"

"Kai please listen to me!"

"I will. Explain why aren't you working for Biovolt… explain why are you working as a nurse. Explain why aren't you living in Russia anyway!"

"The thing's like this…"

"NO! - he suddenly stopped her. - You will explain it… but in front of everyone else." stated the teen.
