Chapter 2

When he got there, Kai first threw himself an aspirin, then shuffled tiredly into his room, only to fall into bed and fall asleep straight away.

It looked more problematic with Tala, he lived in a small apartment and it wasn't exactly in the best area. The redhead strode quickly through the dirty streets and wondered when he would finally get out of here. When he got to the door of the apartment he shared with two others, he thought about it just before he unlocked the door and said
grumpy: "Hey you two, I'm back, so don't make it so loud. I want to sleep."
"Oh Tala-san, you don't have to be in school," he was asked by a brown-haired guy who just came out of the bathroom. "Takumi don't say you just did it in the shower," Tala said, lurking. "Well, I have to disappoint you and should I tell you something else? It was just awesome," said a blond boy who appeared behind Takumi and kissed his neck longingly."Why do I have to live in an apartment with two fagots?" Asked Tala, more to herself than the others. "Kazuo, Tala called us fagots again," the brunette whined. Tala didn't hear the answer from Kazuo anymore because he stomped angrily into his room and fell tired into bed.

In the evening Kai was woken up by the ringing on his door. When it still hadn't stopped after five minutes, he went downstairs in annoyance, when he was in the entrance hall, he heard something hit the floor with a thud. With quick steps the Russian was at the door, opened it and looked petrified at the person who was lying in front of his feet. It was a girl his age with black hair. > It can't really be her ... she's dead ... I saw her fall down the cliff ... she can ... or can she? <it flashed through his head, looked around and picked up the black-haired one to carry her inside. > It really is her, those facial features ... I can't believe it ... she survived!<he thought as he put her on his bed and looked how badly she was injured. "Shit," he suddenly cursed, Kai had noticed a large wound on her back. Why hadn't he noticed that earlier? He had picked her up and yet he only noticed the wound now. He ran into the bathroom, got the first aid kit to clean and bandage the wound. Then the smaller wounds were on. After he'd treated her. The whole time he sat on a chair in front of her bed and looked at her lost in thought. > What just happened to you? What do you think they did to you? Did they chase you? Or why do you look like that? When will you finally wake up I hope soon because I really don't want to have to call the doctor. He asks too many questions and gives insane tips that an ass doesn't need anyway. Especially not you ... my little kitten. <Suddenly he was torn from his thoughts by the ringing of the phone. He picked up and asked angrily: "Yes, who is there, what do you want and how long do you want to bother me with this call."" Um ... Kai, it's Ray, "said the Chinese guy on the other end of the line, he was worried about Kai because he wasn't at school, again and he wanted to tell him about his homework." What's up, "asked the Russian coolly." I should ask you that, "stated Ray and added:" I just wanted to say that we didn't get anything up today and ask if you will come back tomorrow. "There was a short pause until Kai replied," No, probably not, I'm not doing so well. " "OK. I'll let you know at school, is there anything else I can do for you. Maybe cook some soup, or just like that ... "suggested Ray, but Kai interrupted him:" No and bye. "Annoyed the Russian hung up and thought: 'He's nice if he wouldn't annoy so much! Much too caring little ... <he absent-mindedly shook his head and went back to his room. There he continued to stare at the girl and pretended to be questions that only she could answer. After a while he was dozing off, sitting on the chair with his arms crossed.Slowly the black-haired opened her eyes, which she was very difficult to do because her songs felt as if they were made of lead. So she closed her eyes again and thought: 'Where am I anyway? ... by Kai, right? I rang the doorbell at Kai's, there's no doubt about that. Has he changed? With certainty, me too. <Again she opened her eyes, this time it was easier and she looked around carefully. She tried not to move, who knows whether Kai really lived here, or whether she had been caught again. Her gaze fixed on the person on the chair, it was Kai. It couldn't be anyone else, his blue-gray hair and those facial features, it really was him. She straightened up, but a stabbing pain in the back made the black-haired one draw in a sharp breath and she let herself sink back into the pillow.
Kai woke up and when he saw that she was lying there, awake and with a contorted face in pain, he jumped up and asked: "What is it, what is hurting you?"" Yes, I am glad to see you again, my pain is not important now. Come here, I want to hug you, "it came coolly from her and she spread her arms. He leaned over her and patiently let the embrace over him." Yes, yes, I'm happy too. Tell me what happened and how did you survive the fall, "Kai began to question her. She had to grin and her red eyes flashed mysteriously for a moment, then she began:" So when I sailed down this beautiful cliff, I did somehow I can hold on to a root that looked out of it and I was hanging around there a bit. When I was sure that you were gone, I carefully climbed back up and looked for you. Since I couldn't find you, I assumed that these idiots had taken you back with them. Where I was right by the way. Well, I wanted to free you but, you know me, they discovered me and I have to flee, until about a year ago I was on the run from them.Well and now here I am. "Kai heard her sarcasm clearly, even though she tried to hide it.
"And how are you doing," she asked curiously. "Kaya, you're really not curious. I bet you already know," Kai said mock reproachful. "Bet won," Kaya grumbled. Kai had to grin involuntarily, the otherwise cool iceberg had to grin at a comment from a girl. Of course he was fooling around with Tala too, but the others didn't know that and they would not find out that he was fooling around with Kaya.
"You look tired," she said and moved a little towards the wall so that Kai could lie down next to her. He nodded, lay down next to the black-haired one and she cuddled up to him immediately, he put his arm around her protectively. Shortly afterwards, the two fell asleep.
