A soft, rhythmical tapping sound was heard as fingers hidden in black gloves kept touching a stone surface. A boy that appeared to be at the age of seventeen was leaning against a high stone wall in what seemed like very casual way. So it seemed. Actually he was very alert. Cutting wind blew past him but he didn't allow himself to shiver no matter how cold he was. He gazed up at the night sky. Apart from the small spots, known as stars, it was all dark. Even the moon was hiding behind a dark cloud.

The boy took a glance at his wristwatch, frowning. 'He's taking too long,' he thought as he glanced up at the wall, pondering whether he should go after his partner. He decided to wait for a few more minutes.

Only a few seconds later something landed smoothly beside the boy, making a soft thump once contacting the ground. Another young boy, sixteen years of age, straightened up and turned to look at the older one. He met a pair of piercing black eyes glaring down at him.

"What took you so long?" the taller boy demanded coldly.

The younger one decided to ignore the tone of his partner's voice, "Bloodhounds," he said calmly, receiving a raised eyebrow from the other boy.

"Are you hurt, Rei?" the older boy asked while letting his eyes scan the other boy from top to toe. He was dressed in a pair of black baggy pants and a black turtleneck shirt with black gloves and a cap. He had his long ebony hair stuffed inside of his shirt and he also had black contact lenses to make his identification more difficult if gotten caught.

The younger boy chuckled slightly, "No, I just hate dogs."

The taller boy rolled his eyes, "Did you get it?"

"Yes," Rei replied, tapping his pocket, "Should we–" he was cut off by his partner's hand covering his mouth.

"Shh," the older boy hissed, pulling the other deeper into the shadows, "they are coming back." They watched quietly as a big black car drove past them, slowing down in front of the huge steel gates, waiting for them to slide open. Then it drove in, letting the gates slide close.

The two figures in the shadows stayed quiet and still for a few moments before the smaller one grabbed the other one's hand, casting a quick glance at him.

"Let's go, Kai," he whispered. He received a nod from his partner and, tightening his hold on his hand, started running towards the woods across the road. The older boy wouldn't have been able to keep up with his friend's speed unless he hadn't been pulled forward.

Once reaching the dark, upright rows of trees, they slowed up a bit, still continuing to run towards their next destination.

Soon they arrived to an old, deserted factory area full of more or less deteriorated buildings and old, now inoperative vehicles. The freezing wind blew into the buildings through broken windows making ghostly sounds in the process. The two boys walked quietly, glancing around furtively, still holding hands.

"Where are they?" the ebony-haired boy whispered, flinching slightly at a sound of a huge rat crawling into a rusty trashcan. He received only a shrug from his partner.

As if ordered, they heard a cold voice coming from behind them, making them spin around to find two boys, not older than themselves, standing a few meters further away from them.

"Ah, the Phoenix and the Tiger," the voice belonged to a tall boy with fiery red hair and ice-blue piercing eyes, "you're late."

Kai decided not to show any signs of his slight irritation on his face, "Yeah? What are you going to do about it?" his voice came coldly. He knew they couldn't do anything to them without orders.

The red-haired boy chuckled slightly while the other one beside him glared at the Phoenix dangerously.

"Don't start to act a smart aleck on us there," the boy with lavender hair and matching eyes warned menacingly enough to make Rei squeeze Kai's hand a little tighter as to let him know that he considered that as a good sign for Kai to stay quiet.

"We brought the documents," the ebony-haired boy told them while sticking his hand into his pocket to take an envelope out.

"Excellent," the redhead said with approval audible in his voice, "bring it to me." Rei let go of Kai's hand and walked over to the other two boys to hand the envelope to the red-haired one. Then he turned around to walk back to his partner's side.

"We have another mission for you," a cold voice belonging to the lavender-haired boy informed while a little smirk played on his lips, "this one you will undertake tomorrow night." Rei noticed himself nodding slightly in acceptance. It wasn't like they had any choice but to obey. As cruel as it sounds, their lives weren't their own.

"What is it?" a colourless voice from beside Rei snapped him out of his thoughts. He turned to look at Kai who still had his emotionless mask on his face.

"You will have this booklet with all the information you need included for you to acquaint yourself with before the gig," the red-haired boy told holding up the said booklet, "and you had better read it carefully for of course you are not allowed to let anything go wrong. This is important."

"Of course, Tala," Kai said venomously. Rei could see he was pissed off.

The boy called Tala smirked, "Geez Kai, you really should change your attitude or it will cost you a lot someday." Kai just clenched his fists, choosing not to say anything.

"Enough with the chatting, we don't have all night," the lavender-haired youth said breaking the well started glaring competition between Tala and Kai.

"Yeah, Bryan is right," Tala handed the booklet to the boy beside him and motioned him to bring it over to Kai. The latter didn't even look at the object before stuffing it into his bag.

"Was that all?" he asked obviously more than ready to take off.

"Well, there is this one little thing more," Tala chuckled, "the Boss has gotten softer or something but he said that if you handle this next mission of yours well, you will get what ever you want," he smirked as he saw Rei's eyes widening slightly. Kai in turn narrowed his eyes a bit, not believing his ears.

"A- Anything?" Rei's question came in a whisper, still loud enough for Tala to hear. They both knew what Kai and Rei wanted the most.

Tala was the one to say it aloud, "You will get your freedom after this mission," he repeated, obviously enjoying the expressions on his hirelings' faces. Kai still wouldn't believe him.

"You're lying," he said poisonously, making the redhead pull an innocent look on his face.

"But Kai, why would I do that?" came Tala's voice softly.

"Because you are a bastard."

"My," Tala smirked, "you're hurting my feelings." Kai chose to stay quiet, for which Rei was really grateful.

"We should go," he said, grabbing Kai's hand in a light grip.

Tala turned to smirk at him, "I agree. See you later." Rei nodded his goodbye and walked off, tugging Kai with him.

On their way home, neither of the two dared to speak. They were too lost in their thoughts. There was too much they couldn't understand. Why were they given such promises? Were they for real? Were they finally able to be free? No, even the thought of it sounded ridiculous. Or did it? They had been slaves for so long they couldn't even imagine how it would be to live their own lives. What if they couldn't do it? Not that they really cared about that kind of things. Anything was better than the way they lived now. The only thing that had kept them going for all these years was the strong love they held for each other.

Rei found himself smiling. He was hardly able to resist the urge to skip a few steps. The neko-jin loosened his grip on Kai's hand and snaked his arm around the boy's slender waist, pressing himself close to his side. Kai smiled down at the smaller boy and in turn wrapped his arm around his shoulders. They continued to walk in a comfortable silence until they were home. There they merely fell onto their bed and immediately fell asleep. They were too exhausted to even take off their clothes before going to bed.

Abrupt ringing of an alarm clock dragged Rei out of his sweet dreamland, excessively early if you asked him. He pulled a pillow tightly onto his ears, trying to ignore the irritating sound. It didn't help though. The ringing just got louder and louder until he found the strength to reach out his hand to smack the clock quiet. Then, pleased with himself, Rei snuggled back into Kai's chest, caressing his neck with his lips. He felt a pair of arms wrap around him.

"Do you have to go to work today?" a sleepy voice asked.

"You know I do," Rei answered and pressed himself tighter against his lover's chest, feeling how the much-welcomed sleep started to take over him again.

A moment later the slowly awakening Kai noticed that Rei's breaths against his chest had gone slow and peaceful, tattling he was asleep again. The slate-haired boy frowned.

"Rei, don't go back to sleep. Now, get up," he said, slightly shaking the boy's shoulder.

"But I'm tired," the younger boy muttered sleepily, starting to fall asleep once more as the shaking stopped.

Kai sighed and sat up, lifting the sleeping boy with him. Sometimes, like now, he found himself wondering why the Chinese boy was always so stubborn when it came to waking up, "Don't make me take you to a cold shower again," he said, making the boy in his arms chuckle slightly.

"You wouldn't dare," Rei whispered, still only faintly awake.

"Oh, I wouldn't?" Kai smirked. He had done it before and was perfectly able to do it again if necessary. A quick glance at the now sleeping neko-jin told him now it was necessary. He carefully gathered the boy's petite form into his arms and stood up, making his way to the bathroom. There he lay Rei down into the bathtub. He looked at the sleeping boy with a smile on his face. Kai decided to give him one more chance. He shook his shoulders gently, "Rei, come on," the only reply he got was a sleepy giggle with no real attempts of waking up.

Kai rolled his eyes, 'Well, he asked for it,' he thought before reaching out his hand to turn on the shower. Quickly jumping backwards, he watched his lover shoot up with lightning speed and screaming at the top of his voice as the ice-cold water fell on him.

"Kai! You bastard!" Rei yelled as he jumped out of the bathtub now fully awake. Kai smirked and ran out of the bathroom, closing the door behind him so that Rei was locked inside. "You're going to pay for this, mister," he heard Rei's voice threaten through the door.

A few minutes later Rei came back to the bedroom only a towel hanging loosely on his hips. He threw a glare towards the bed in which Kai had returned after he was sure Rei wouldn't take revenge on him right now.

"Traitor," the ebony-haired boy muttered under his breath, getting a chuckle for an answer from somewhere inside of the huge pile of blankets and pillows.

Quickly Rei dressed himself up for work and went to the kitchen for breakfast. Kai was still lying on the bed but wasn't sleeping anymore. Soon he forced himself up and put a bathrobe on him, wandering into the kitchen. There he found his favourite neko-jin shoving his empty plate into the sink. The boy turned around to glare at the Russian.

"Oh please, you know you love me," Kai said with a smug smirk playing on his lips as the younger boy snorted.

"I wouldn't count on it," Rei said poisonously but walked over to the taller boy to place a soft peck on his lips. Then he walked past him to the hallway to put on his shoes and long, dark brown coat, "I'm going now," he announced as he opened the front door, "don't forget to read the booklet."

"I won't," Kai muttered as he heard the door shut. He walked over to his bag and pulled out the booklet from one of the pockets. Then he dropped himself onto the couch and started reading.

-----

Kai heard a key turn in the lock. He glanced up at a clock on the wall above a big bookshelf. It was already half five p.m. The slate-haired boy stood up and strode to the kitchen.

Meanwhile Rei had gotten in and was now taking off his shoes. He felt like fainting any minute now. He definitely couldn't manage an another seven hour workday after having only five hours of sleep at night. But he knew he wouldn't have any more sleep tonight due to their big, important as hell mission as Tala had put it. Finally he got rid of the shoes and coat and was about to enter the living room but was stopped by Kai standing in front of him.

"Hey, love," Kai's voice came surprisingly softly as he leaned in to plant a peck on Rei's lips.

Rei smiled. Seeing the, in his opinion, most gorgeous being in the whole universe always made him forget his worries and in this case, tiredness. Then his expression turned serious as he remembered something important.

"Did you make the plans for tonight?" he asked.

This made Kai smirk almost mischievously, "Of course," his smirk turned more evil, "they'll never know what hit them." Now Rei giggled. Not until now he noticed what his boyfriend was holding in his hands. In the other hand he held a bottle of very expensive-looking champagne while the other was holding two glasses. Rei looked at Kai questioningly.

The older boy took that as a hint for him to place one of the glasses in Rei's hand, filling it with the fine alcohol. Then he filled his own glass and placed the bottle on a small table nearby. Now he raised the glass in front of him, a smile appearing onto his lips, "I thought we should celebrate this," he announced solemnly.

Rei chuckled a bit, "I'm underage, you know," he remarked grinning as he watched Kai take a sip from his glass. The slate-haired Russian smirked and leaned in to press a tender kiss on the younger boy's lips. He tasted like champagne, Rei noticed.

"So am I," Kai said as he pulled away, "How about if we–" he left the sentence unfinished as he collected his and Rei's glasses in his hand, placing them onto the table with the champagne bottle, "Let's just skip the alcohol, shall we." Without waiting for an answer, he wrapped his arms around the smaller boy, pulling him into a passionate kiss.

Soon Rei found himself falling on his back onto their bed. He had been so occupied with kissing his lover that he hadn't even noticed Kai pushing him gently forward all the way from the hallway to their bedroom. The neko-jin giggled softly as their lips parted, the Russian climbing on top of him and leaning down to lead him into another earthshaking wrestle of tongues.
