Chapter 22: The truth and Kai's determination

Everything was finally back to normal. Kai and Tala was closer than ever. Garland and Bryan acted more and more like a married couple. Brooklyn and Hiro was as physical with each other as always. And, to everyone's excitement, Wolfram and Yurri had gotten together, and the young blond stuck to his new boyfriend like a baby to its mother, but the other boy didn't seem to mind. The couples had started eating lunch together outside under some of the sakura trees. Currently they were doing exactly that.

"Kai, taste this, it's awesome." Tala said and held out a fork with a piece of his lunch. His boyfriend smiled and accepted, slowly eating the food and nodding in response. The red head grinned and kissed him on the cheek. The youngest couple was snuggling and feeding each other. Garland and Bryan was whispering in each other's ears. Brooklyn was in Hiro's lap, their lips locked together. The sun was shining and a light breeze filled the air. It was like a scene from a romantic novel, for gay people that is. Tala shuddered. Kai looked at him.

"What's wrong?" he asked a bit worried. Since the kidnapping the blue haired male had been on edge whenever the red head showed uncomforted.

"It's nothing, I'm okey." Tala replied and kissed his boyfriend.

"I just had a feeling that this was too good to be true. That something... em... bad, would happen soon." The red head suddenly realized why he had shuddered, and held Kai a bit tighter. But he didn't dare to tell Kai the truth. The blue haired male wasn't fooled. He knew his boyfriend was hiding something, the same thing he had been hiding in the hospital, and that it had to do with the time he had been missing. But he didn't ask about it.

"Tala." Wolfram stood by the door looking seriously at the older male. The other blinked.

"We need to talk." He continued, as the others walked inside and back to their classes. Because they were both still healing their wounds they had extra free period before their next lesson. And Wolfram was set on getting everything about that incident from Tala. The red head realized right away and simply nodded. The two of them headed back to their spot under the sakura trees to talk. Kai looked a bit bothered after his boyfriend, before he too left for his art class.

'Why can't Tala tell me what's bothering him?' The Blue haired male wondered.

'Doesn't he think I'll understand?' things might have turned back to normal after that night they made love for the first time, but Kai knew his boyfriend was still hiding something, and it troubled him.

"You didn't tell the truth back then did you?" Wolfram asked, looking at Tala.

"When I asked why they were hurting us. You actually knew the reason, didn't you? And it wasn't just some random punks." He continued as the red haired male stared at the green grass they were sitting on.

"I want to know the truth Tala. Please." The younger male looked at his old crush, slightly frustrated.

"I can see it's still bothering you, and I think it might help you to tell someone." Wolfram finished, still looking at the older male. Tala sighed.

"I guess you're right. But promise me you won't hate or blame Kai for this. It's not his fault okey. He doesn't even know people are after him." The red head stated. Teh younger blond looked at him.

"Exactly what do you mean?"

"I mean that those men mistook me for being Kai and used you as bait to get to me because they believed I was him. They were planning on getting money for him from his grandfather." The red head finally looked up at Wolfram.

"I didn't mean to lie to you, I was just afraid you would blame Kai for what happened." The two of them sat there in silence for a moment.

"Tala, I might have been in love with you back then, but I would never blame Kai for what happened because I know how much he loves you and would never want you hurt. Or anyone else for that matter." The younger boy smiled gently at his friend.

"But it is scary that they're after Kai, have you told anyone else about this? He might be in serious danger." Wolfram continued with worried eyes.

"No, but I made it sound like they might come back." Tala replied, also he was worried.

"The security around campus has gotten better, but do you think it's enough?" Wolfram asked looking around at the surveillance cameras. It was obvious that he was concerned, not just about himself, but also his friends. Tala was as well.

"I don't know. But I'll do whatever it takes to protect Kai. And I'm sure the others will agree." He finished, and determent got up on his feet.

"What about Kai? Should we tell him?" the younger boy asked as he too got on his feet.

"No, let's keep it a secret from him. He'll only blame himself for our injuries and get nervous they'll hurt us and the others again." Tala said as the two of them headed off to tell the others about what really happened, once their classes would end.

Kai was in a bad mood. He had been all morning, after he realized that Tala ad all the others shared some kind of secret he wasn't allowed to know about. And it wasn't a pleasant secret. All teh boys seemed on edge and kept glancing around, like they were looking for something. Tala was keeping close to him at all time. He even started following him to every class. It was like they were babysitting him. Suddenly Kai realized that it had to be about Tala and Wolfram's kidnapping. The secret Tala had been keeping from him, he had shared it with all the other boys. It hurt him to know that his boyfriend didn't trust him, but it also made him angry. So this morning he had decided to confront his boyfriend. After breakfast, when they were heading for the first lesson, he made his move.

"When will you tell me what you told all the others?" his voice was hard and irritated. Tala looked surprised at him.

"Yes Tala I noticed, of course I did. Now will you tell me or can't you trust me?" the blue haired male continued.

"That's not it Kai." Tala tried to explain.

"Then what is it?" Kai turned to face Tala, frustration clearly showing in his eyes.

"What is it that you can't tell me?" the hurt was showing true his harsh expression and Tala was clearly debating with himself on what to do.

"I don't want to tell you because I think it will only hurt and worry you." The red head finally said.

"Tala, it's hurting and worrying me now." Teh blue haired male was no longer mad, just sad. Tala put his arms around him and hugged him tightly.

"I'm sorry. I just wanted you to be happy now that everything is back to normal. But I guess that didn't work." He gave a light smile and loosened his grip a little, looking at him.

"I guess I should have told you right away." He said and gave his boyfriend a reassuring smile. Kai felt a bit more relaxed. As they continued to class, Tala explained everything and told the blue haired male about his worried.

As Tala had expected Kai was frustrated when he now knew he was the reason for Wolfram and Tala's injuries.

"It's not your fault Kai. No one blames you. So don't worry about that. What we need to think about is the fact that they're still after you. And now they know who you are." The red head said annoyed that he didn't know what to do about the matter.

"Tala I'll be fine. Now that we know what they want it's easier to stop them from getting it as well." Kai replied and intertwined his fingers with Tala's, holding his hand. The red head smiled at him.

"I know, but I don't think it's that easy. Remember how they got me and Wolfram in the first place." Both got thoughtful as they turned the last corner and came down the hallways where their classroom was located. Suddenly Kai stopped, staring shocked in front of him. Tala looked curious at his boyfriend, then followed his gaze and noticed all the people in front of their classroom. They were tall, bug men in black suits and dark sunglasses, looking a lot like security guards.

"Who are they?" Tala asked getting slightly worried.

"My grandfather." Kai replied, still not fully believing it himself.

"What!" Now it was Tala's turn to be shocked.

"Kai! There you are. Get over here boy." A loud voice sounded true the hallway. Turning his gaze back to the suited men, Tala noticed the man in the middle of them. It was the old man that had been on the screen in the kidnapper's lair. Voltair Hiwatari.
