Old pains and Old Memories

Tala!!!!!!!!" screamed Bryan his eyes flashing. "where have you been?"

the lavender haired boy ran up to the red head with scarily fast movements.

"You promised to get my cookies huh?!!! you know how long its been huh!!! do you?!!"

Tala closed his eyes and grinned, ruffling the boys hair effectionately.

"Here they are Bryan don't scream"

during the months of free rain of they're choices of food, Bryan had discovered his love of cookies and now had an obsession with them.
It was annoying at times, thought Tala but the fact they could now eat real food, and not vitamin tablets and all other sorts of multi coloured pills to make them supposedly stronger was seventh heaven for them.

"Look what the cat dragged in hey Tala what kept you?" Inquired spencer, lying spread out on the couch his arms behind his head.

"I met an old friend on the way and he's staying with us for awhile"

Kai still unnoticed, stood behind Tala was trying hard to not to shift from foot to foot from nervousness, hoping not to recieve to much awkwardness from his 'former team mates'

Bryan finnally noticing the dual hair jumped though keeping a firm gripp on his cookies.

"What the hell is that traitor doing here!!!" He screeched his eyes narrowing at the slate haired boys.

"Bryan breath if you remember correctly we all tried to use each other back then..." whispered Tala remembering the cold hard truth of his past actions as captain.

But in the end the irony was that he was being used he had been slightly angered at the time for not noticing Kai's real intentions but came to the conclusion that if he had he wouldnt really have done anything about it anyway he wanted a strong team not a reliable one.

'but now I know better...'

"So Kai's gonna crash for a few days ok guys?"

"Fine..." muttered Spencer, turning his head to the back of the sofa. Obviously to tierd to bother being curious about the presence of his old team mate.

Bryan raised an eyebrow sceptically and marched up to Kai his eyes narrowing a fraction.

"Even think of trying anything funny or envolving us into some kind of scheme your dead Kai" Bryan growled defensively at the thought of Biovolt and turned away muttering about not touching his cookies...

I stood there not sure what to make of this odd bunch.
But decided it was best to keep quiet, which Tala seemed to think too since he tapped me on the shoulder to tell me to follow him.

we walked through a dimly lit hallway into a small narrow room and he sat down on the bed and gave an apologetic smile.

"Sorry about that they're still edgy around people" Tala released a small chuckle as he made himself comfortable, and gestured for Kai to do the same.

Kai quirked a brow and sat on a lone chair near to the window, a distant gaze claiming his features.
Tala let out a low chuckle 'some things never change...'

"I don't delude my self by thinking you came with me for my company Kai you obviously want answers so shoot."

Kai smirked at Tala's bluntness, a nice change. This time it was Tala who looked questioningly.

"its just nice for someone to be straight forward for once..." I took a deep breath and decided on a question.

"How did we meet?"

Tala leaned back against the wall deep in thought.

"We met at the abbey a place that trains kids how to blade"

Kai didnt say anything, deeply listening to the information obviously waiting for more much to Tala's dread he sighed as he continued.

"Your grandfather ran the abbey, parents all over the world sent their children there. Hoping that they're children would be molded into the next champions, but raising strong bladers wasnt all that they did. One of the trainers Borris set up such rigorous training, that many of the children died or died from the scientific experiments. Biovolt wasnt below any kind of experimentation on animals or humans, and did many experimentations on all that entered the abbey your grandfather tried to take control of all the bit beasts in russia's tournament and for a short time, you were corrupted by him and the ultimate blade but you broke free and joined the bladebreakers. Its only in the last few years we managed to rid ourselves of him.
Had three more tournaments and everythings been pretty normal till your amnesia..."

"We... were involved in... experiments...?"

"yeah... to... enhance our abilities" Was the best i could come up with, what can i tell him without telling everything he's not ready for all of it.

"We should eat im sure you could do with some good food"

Kai sighed and stood up. "Yeah sure..." I dont want to seem angry but I- no 'We' were guinea pigs? Maybe its good he stopped there. how much of this does Takao know? All, some, none? What could i have told him about my past? How deep do my connections go with Tala? And those boys they were there to? This is giving me a migrane... i gritted my teeth as an image flashed before my eyes.

"Come on Kai join in!!!!" squeeled a hyper blonde.

"Come mister sourpuss how many times are you gonna hide up here?" laughed Takao looking rather chubby, but still extremely loud mouthed.

"Leave him guys he's just trying to get attention lets go to the restaurant, he can do his attention seeking routine on someone else"growled Rei pissed off at having to wait for someone he knew wasnt coming and being hungry and straving for a seemly worthless cause.

"Dont be so mean Rei you might hurt his feelings"replied chief (Kenny) to a seething Rei.

"Like the great Kai hiwatari has any of those!!" laughed max.

"Kai stop being such a grumpy git and come on!!!" Takao sighed and moved away from the locked door "Well you cant say we didnt try..."

"Now that we've tried can we eat now!!! mumbled an irrated Rei

"Do you think that we should bring him some food?" asked Kenny to Max.

"No if he's gonna act like a spoiled child he can fend for himself..." snorted Max not liking the cold shoulder he was recieving from the slate haired boy.
Suddenly kai shot into a dark room, where he saw himself lieing on white crumbled sheets and himself with tears sliding down his face, a slight hiss escaping Kai's lips from trying to keep silent even though he was crying hard.
Kai walked forward to himself 'did nobody know I was in here?
Crying my heart out? Did any of them even care back then'
In his hand Kai saw a letter, scrunched up in his hand but before he got chance to see anymore, he shot back into an unfamiliar room.

"You ok? you had me worried there..."Tala let out a big sigh of relief, he didnt want to call an ambulance.
Borris could track them in so many ways, it was highly unlikely he would bother but he still couldnt help but think of these things.

Kai nodded, the only thing that went throught his mind was one word at the end of the letter Voltaire...

"Come on hurry up"smiled Tala trying to lighten Kai's mood 'he must have remembered something back there...' thought Tala but then remembered something important.

"Oh and Kai when around Spencer and Bryan act like your old self ok? and dont tell them you have amnesia"

Kai quirked a brow. "And why would that be?"

Tala laughed nervously. "Lets just say they'll give you a hard time"

"Sure but- How do I act?" sighed Kai

"Lets see..."Tala new he could have some fun with this, but decided it would be cruel.

"Just act cold arrogant and pissed off and if they say something offensive to you, say a sarcastic remark of sorts or say 'hnn' or 'whatever' kay?"

"Sure"

Tala smiled. "Ok get yourself ready for some fantastic grub" and lead the way into the living room.
