Messengertalk (Tala & Rei, occasional Bryan)

-"Yeah, I know what you mean... Maybe I really should come and visit you and other Blitz boys soon... That just might cheer us all up, a little at least. Don't you think?"

"Sounds a great idea. At least I will have company as Bryan is being a royal ass..."

He had finally found the paper knife and was currently playing with it. Flicking the blade in and out just for fun. He considered should he cut his wrist or not. Should he do just a little scratch or just cut the vein... Nah... Rei was maybe coming over. Bad idea. They both needed company.

"Fine by me..."

-"Great. Well then, I need to buy some stuff for my visit so I have to go to the center. I'll let you know when my plane is in Russia. See you then."

"Great. See you around."

Tala sent his phonenumber as a last message and pocketed the knife. He didn't feel like cutting any wrists tonight. The computer room was dark and he had no idea of the time. A nap wouldn't harm, eh?

Rei reseaved Tala's message and his cellphone number. Rei downloaded the number in his phone, logged out the messenger and closed his laptop.

-"I should take the laptop with me, I just might need it... Now, time to go shopping." Suddenly Rei felt happy again, like he hadn't felt for many years.

Rei thought while sitting in the metro to the center:

*First I need to buy my ticket to Russia and back to Japan... Or maybe just the one-way ticket, at first... I don't even know when I'm coming back... If I come back...

That should teach you something about my feelings... Being alone so long time without any warnings... Don't you care about me anymore? ... Don't you love me anymore?

Could it be that you have someone else to love you and worry you about, though you'd say you don't need anyone, but me..?.... .....

God, where are you Kai?! I'm going to kill myself if I don't hear about you soon... actually, I've already died many times before or so I've felt, especially when I've gone to sleep......

I feel so frenzy inside... I don't know what to do... but to leave for a while, just for a while... maybe......*

*Heh... My mind and thoughts run like a rollercoaster in the funpark...
Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I'm miserable and sad, more likely desperate and depressive.... No. I've got to get along with myself, without Kai, if necessary...
I still love him and always will, but I just need a timeoff...*

Few minutes later...

Rei got off the metro and was now heading to the railway station. There were some automatons where Rei could buy his one-way ticket to Russia, either he's going to fly there or go by train.

"YOU KNOW NOTHING OF WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH!"

Tala and Bryan were currently yelling and screaming at each other, Soencer and Ian had feebly tried to break up their argument, but knowing how vicious Bryan can be, they decided to stay away.

"YOU DO NOTHING BUT COMPLAIN!"

"YOU'RE COMPLAINING RIGHT NOW!"

"SHUT UP!"

"YOU'RE A WHINER! AND A PATHETIC ONE!"

What Bryan did next, Tala hadn't seen it coming. Falcon's fist hit him squarely to his cheek, force of the punch throwing Tala to the floor. Bryan then stormed off to his room, coming out few minutes later with a backpack and he stalked out of the house, making sure the door was slammed shut hard.

The wolf just lay there, on the floor, a bruise already forming on his cheek where Bryan had hit him. Why hadn't he slit his wrists last night?

He cried.

-"Now I've got the ticket. I better send a message to Tala in his cellphone."

*Hi! My flight arrives at 13:30 local time tomorrow. Hopefully I find you at the airport somewhere. Well, see you tomorrow.*

"Huh?" He looked up from his bed where he had dragged himself after crying his eyes out on the floor. He managed to grab his cellphone with his third attempt, checking the message.

"13:30... Almost noon. Oh well." He fumbled a moment until put the alarm on, on 12:30. He wanted the half an hour sleep before driving anywhere.

It was 20:00 pm in Japan and Rei had got back home.

-"Well, I think that I've got everything I need. Now I just have to pack my stuff for tomorrow."

Rei started to pack.

"Ow..."

Tala turned around. He pried his eyes open. He had slept on his bruised cheek. He still had some time left, so he pulled the covers tighter around him and fell asleep again.

It was morning and Rei had already woken up to make breakfast and some lunch for himself to take it with him in the plane. He ate his breakfast and wash the dishes and put them in the closet to dry.

Then Rei took his backpack and checked the lights before leaving the house.

In half an hour Rei was at the airport, waiting for his plane to arrive.
He sat in the waiting hall and read the morning's newspaper to kill some time while waiting.

*I can't wait to leave this place for a while. This sure is rising my mood of enjoyment.* he smiled to himself and continued reading.

Tala was snoring on the bed, his bruised cheek luckily turned away from the door as Spencer and Ian peeked in to see, if he was still alive.

Rei got in the plane and was now on his way to Russia. Three hours' flight was about to begin...

*I don't know if it's really ok for me to visit them so suddenly... but Tala's the captain of his team, so his sayings are the law I think...?*

-"Excuse me, but would you like something to drink before we bring the meal?" asked the flight attendant.

-"A one tiny glass of Vodka, please."

-"Thank you, sir. Here you go."

-"Thanks. How much?"

-"Nothing, it's a free drink."

-"Oh, thank you."

The flight attendant nodded for thanks and continued her work.

*A free Vodka drink? Well, I better train myself a bit with this before stepping anywhere in Russia.*

Tala tossed and turned restlessly. He opened his eyes.

"Oh crap. There goes the sleep..."

-"Ladies and gentlemen, we're about to land in 5 minutes' time, so put on your seatbelts and straighten up your seats."

*Ok, now I'm here...The plane wasn't so bad idea after all...*

Rei's plane arrived in Russia on it's time. 10 minutes later Rei had got off the plane and was walking in the airport's house.

*Hopefully my backpack's safe... I don't want to lose it...*

Tala had almost overslept the ring of his phone, but after all, he made it to the airport in time. He stood near the doors, squinting. He cursed being short as he was, wishing he had dragged Spencer with him.

If he didn't see Rei, the neko-jin would definetely spot him from any crowd. Bright red hair was kind of a sight in Russia anyway.

Rei found his backpack and then started to walk towards the frontdoors.

*Hopefully someone of the Blitzboys is going to pick me up. I don't know where I suppose to go without their help...*

*Oh, there's Tala...*

-"Hey, thanks for picking me up. How is it going here?"

Tala thanked the god he had realized to leave his hair down, covering the bruise.

"No problem. I almost overslept but when I remembered you I woke up totally. How's it going here... Bryan took off. For good I think. He didn't take his keys. Ian and Spencer... Especially Ian promised to behave while you're here."

He almost flicked the hair framing his face away but stoppe dhimself just in time as he lead Rei back to his car. He dug his keys out of his pocket and opened the passanger side door of the old white Ford Escort.

"If you wanna open the doors, you need to unlock the passanger side first. I find Fords very weird cars. Well check this out. It's still warm. Goody."

Rei laughed: -"Yeah, some cars have their tricks... I try to remember the door system..."

*Bryan left and for good? Hopefully it's not because of me...?*

-"I hope that I'm not the cause to Bryan's leaving..."

"Meh. I got fed up and wekinda had a loud argument. Even Spencer took cover. He's like that..." Tala said as he rounded the car, getting to the driver's side and opening the door with a rough yank. "I want a new car. There aren't many of this model which actually work pretty flawlessly. I heard the other one is in Finland."

He tried to start the car. Nothing.

"I was have to say it I guess. Come on, maja daragaja. Start." The engine started. "Call them nicely and they do whatever you want." He smirked, the grin fading a bit from the other side, when the bruise protested the expression.

-"Yup. You got have your own tricks with them too, ironic isn't it?"

-"Ok, well, hopefully he comes back soon..." *Though I don't want to see him when he's angry...*

"Meh. Hopefully not soon." He cursed in Russian as he drove them through the city, to the outskirts. He stopped the car right in front of something that looked like a dacha, or an old summercottage.

"Well, this is our "hideout". You can choose, want to sleep in the computer room, or the attic? Attic is somewhat calm, I can alway kick Ian out of there. Both rooms are warm, as the fireplace is at the computer room and the chimneythingwhatever goes through the attic."

He saw a snowman standing in the middle of the yard.

"Oh shit..."

Rei laughed aloud at Tala's comment about the snowman in the frontyard of their cottage.

-"Heh, Ian and Spencer must have had fun making that... I'll sleep in the computer room so you don't have to kick Ian out off the attic... It's his room anyway..."

"I reeeaaally hope Ian ain't hiding behind that, about to pummel us with snowballs. His snowballs are hard. Almost took Bryan's eye out once. Bleh, the room ain't really his. He just goes there when Bryan ticks off. It's actually cozy. But, computer room it is." He walked past the snowman with Rei, relieved that Ian wasn't hiding there.
