Disclaimer: Nope. Still not mine.

A/N: Sorry for ending the last chapter at a cliffhanger like that. Wait, no actually I'm not. I truly enjoy torturing you by making you wait until now to find out what's gonna happen next.

I would like to thank darkfox824, GabZ, Winterblazewolf, bluefire, Demon TK, Ellenor-san, Lyson, and MizzGina. I would also like to give a really big thanks to Troublesome Aries who has reviewed every chapter so far. So thanks guys.

I would also like to say, it might seem weird that Tala would go clubbing after what happened to him, but that's because he's trying to act like nothing happened. I hope that cleared up any confusion on the matter.

Anywho on with the story.

Chapter 4: Giving up

Tala struggled under Kai's weight, trying desperately to get away. 'Kai wouldn't do it again would he?' He was kicking and wiggling, but to no use. Once Kai set his mind to something, nothing could stop him. And right now his mind was set on keeping Tala under him.

Tala camel kicked(1) Kai in the shin and started to dash away, but he was caught when a hand grabbed the top of his pants and pulled him back to the ground. He was instantly flipped over and pinned, by his shoulders, to the ground.

"I'll scream. They'll hear me and come to see if I'm ok." He couldn't believe that he just said that, and from the look Kai was giving him neither was he. Tala had just threatened the slate-haired teen, and that's something you never do.

When he was about to scream he felt Kai's mouth cover his, completely smothering any call for help he had been planning. One look from the older teen told Tala not to even try anything. It would be useless now. He just gave in, not even bothering to try calling out for help when Kai released his captured lips.

"Shut up." Kai grabbed a handful of red locks intending to pull Tala from the ground by them, however, his plan changed when his hand ended up on the boys soft stomach instead of the cold, hard ground. His contact made the smaller boy flinch away from him in fear. It was hard to believe the reaction a little touch could have on one as fragile as the little Russian under him.

Not understanding why Kai felt the urge to torture Tala. In his entire life he had only hit Tala a few times, and never hard enough to hurt him, just hard enough to knock some sense into the boy from time to time. So why was he being so aggressive with him, and why did he suddenly feel the need to hurt the younger boy.

Running the fingers of one hand down the white skin of his stomach, the other hand still firmly gripping red hair, he leaned in close to the boys ear. "Are you scared Tala?" The red-head under him shook his head no, but the shaking of his body gave him away. Sliding his hand down farther and hooking his fingers in the rim of a pair of tight leather pants, he tugged at them, causing them to start to pull down. As he continued to pull on them, not really intending to pull them of, he licked the shell of Tala's ear. "Liar." He gave the ear a sharp bite before he was completely off of Tala and standing up.

He held his hand out for Tala , intending to help him up. Kai smirked when, hesitantly, the little red-head put his hand in his. With a rough jerk, he pulled Tala to his feet, with enough force to cause the younger one to come crashing into him.

"Let's get going Tala." Turning around, Kai continued towards his mansion. It wouldn't be smart to do anything to Tala outside, where anyone could come across them. 'Wait, why would I do anything to him anyway. I only did what I had to last night.' Kai was silently thinking to himself as Tala followed behind.

When they arrived home, Kai closed and locked the door behind them. "Do what you want. I'm going to bed." Giving an exhausted sigh he walked up the stairs, heading to his room, leaving Tala by himself.

Tala stood at the bottom of the stairs for several minutes, before moving to the lounge to sit by the fire. That was all he did for about the next two hours. He just silently watched the flames as they moved around, almost dancing with each other.

Getting tired, Tala stood up and headed up to his room. On his way he passed Kai's room, pausing momentarily when he heard movement within. When the room once again went silent once more, he continued on the journey to his room. He continued to the only place he felt the least bit 'safe' . Funny how only two days ago he would have said the place he felt the safest was by his best friends side.

He changed out of his club clothes, randomly dropping them on the floor, and into an oversized white t-shirt and a pair of cotton boxers. The red-head laid down on his bed and pulled the thick covers up over his shoulders. He slowly began to drift off into, what would be, a not so peaceful sleep.

TWO AND A HALF HOURS LATER.(approx. 1 a.m.)

The door leading to the balcony slammed open, startling Tala out of an uneasy dream. He was thankful for the disturbance because, if he had stayed asleep much longer he would have had to relive the other night all over again.

Tala shivered as the cold air of a Russian winter came through the now open door. The small boy got out of his bed and walked over to the glass doors, intending on shutting them. But when he got to them, he decide to walk past them, out onto the balcony. He loved this room because, from here he had a nice view of the gardens. But now looking down, everything just looked dead. Every thing was covered in frost and snow.

He wished that he could be like the garden. Dead. He didn't want to live in a world that was so cruel that it could turn the person you cared for the most into your tormentor.

Making his decision, the red head lifted a bare foot and placed it on a stone bench by the railing. From there he lifted his other onto the balcony railing, shivering as he planted his foot in the thin layer of snow and ice. When he stood fully on the rail, and had his balance, he began to cry silent tears.

Kai shifted in his bed, slowly coming into consciousness. "Shit." It wasn't until he was fully awake that he realized that he needed to use the bathroom. That usually wouldn't have been a major problem but, his bathroom was being remodeled. He would have to use Tala's. just his luck.

Getting out of his bed, he walked out of his room and down the hall to his best friends room. Making sure to be as quite as possible, he opened the door of the red-heads room. Expecting his friend to be sleeping peacefully, you could imagine his shock when he saw the younger boy standing on the balcony. His white night-shirt fluttered in the wind, as he lifted himself onto the balcony railing.

He didn't even realize that he had moved, but moments later he found himself at the door. "Tala." It was a whisper, but the red-head had heard it.

It was almost like slow motion as he turned his head towards Kai, showing the stream of tears flowing down his face. "Kai?" There was fear in his voice.

The blue haired boy took a step towards the red-head. "Stay away." But Kai ignored his warning. "I SAID STAY AWAY." Kai had never realized how frail the boy before him was. As he stood on the ledge, shaking and withe tears running down his face, he looked like a small child.

"Come on Tala." Kai reached out his hand. "Get down from there." All he received for a response was a shake of the head, before the red-head turned back around to look at the ground below. This was the only chance that Kai would receive. With the boys back to him, he lunged at Tala, wrapping his arms around his lithe hips.

He pulled himself and the slugging boy back into the room, with sleight difficulty. Tala continued to struggle against him, even after the door was shut and locked. Kai tried his hardest to console the boy as he held onto him. "Tala, shh it's going to be ok." Tala broke down into tears, clutching to Kai's shirt, as Kai continued to whisper soothing words in his ear. It wasn't long before the red-head fell asleep in Kai's lap, only to be lifted and placed in his bed.

Kai went to the bathroom like he intended, but made sure to check on the other boy before going back to his room.

A/N: (1)a camel kick is when you kick somebody behind you with the heal of your foot. at least that's what they call it here. If you have any questions just ask. Other then that, I look forward to your reviews.
