Sunlight peeked through the window shinning into the sleeping boy's eyes. Rei squeezed his eyes together trying desperately to cling to sleep but sighed as it was slowly escaping him. In a last effort he buried his head into a pale chest that he was resting on receiving a chuckle from the owner.

"Rei its time to wake up." Said a deep baritone voice and Rei raised his head from the chest staring into those lovely crimson eyes with his own half lidded golden ones. He blinked sleepily at him before letting out a cute yawn then snuggling back in to the crimson-eyed teens chest.

Kai let out another chuckle before grabbing Rei by the shoulders and gentle lifting him away from his chest. Rei made a whining sound at the loss of warmth and opened his eyes again to glare at his koi.

Kai ignored the glared and ran his hand through Rei's loose hair that was out of its binding briefly messaging the back of his head, which made Rei start purring. Kai smirked at the sound and brought his hand to rest on his cheek, which caused Rei to make a soft cooing sound at the touch.

Kai's smirk changed into a smile as he pulled Rei's face closer to his before ghosting his lips over the neko-jins.

Rei let out a low growl in the back of his throat at the light kiss before pressing their lips together more firmly. Kai sighed into the kiss moving one of his arms to Rei's hair the other to his waist.

Kai broke the kiss and looked up at him, "Now that you're awake time to get up." He said sliding out from underneath Rei's body. Rei pouted and grabbed Kai's hand, as he was about to walk towards the bathroom. Kai blinked and looked down at his koi who smiled and stood up next to the duel colored hair lover.

"I love you." He said hugging his pale lover making him blink. It wasn't occasionally that they said it so openly due to their pasts, but they said it after they had an argument or when they were on a date.

Surprisingly no one has caught on to their relationship yet- though Kai wasn't that surprised- but they didn't complain. In fact Kai liked the idea said it gave them their privacy and excitement.

Kai returned the embrace, "Love you too kitten." He muttered burring his face into Rei's silkily soft hair. Kai smiled when he heard faint purring come from the smaller of the two before pulling back. He rubbed the tora-youkai's clothed back gently before giving a little smile then letting go and heading towards the bathroom.

Rei stood there for a while with a happy smile before changing out of his nightclothes and into his usual clothing. His grew wider when he heard soft footsteps approaching the door and a gentle knock.

"Come in." He said with an amused little chuckle. The door opened quickly and Rei soon found himself with his arms around little Angel. She let out a little giggle before looking up at him happily, "Morning Rei!" She said excitedly pulling him in a hug. Rei laughed and returned her hug before standing up and balancing her on his hip.

Rei walked out of his room half-listening to his excited little friend and half looking around the area for anything suspicious, but turned all of his attention to his back when he felt his shoulder blades burn suddenly. He rotated his shoulders a little, wincing at the pain that exploded from that little movement. "Rei-chan?" He heard Angel call and he blinked at her confused as he stared into her worried violet gaze, "Are you okay?" She asked.

Rei smiled at her reassuringly and nodded, "Don't worry I'm fine." He said and Angel tilted her head, "If you're sure." She said and Rei ruffled her hair, "You don't need to worry about me Angel-chan." He said, and Angel nodded her head then blinked before smiling and wiggling in his arms asking to be let down.

Rei let her down puzzled before letting out a startled shout as he was lifted up (bridle style) in a pair of strong arms. Rei looked up to the face of his attacker and felt his eyes widen, "Kai!" He yelped, "Put me down!" He said wiggling in his grip.

Kai smirked and Rei looked where they were and instantly clung to his pale lover as he saw they were over the pond in Tyson's yard. The paler of the two chuckled and teasingly lowered his arms making Rei cling to him tighter and hiss, "Kai don't you dare put me down."

Kai chuckled again and tossed Rei up in the air making him release a small cry before catching him again. Rei wrapped his arms around him burring his head in his neck trying not to whimper. It was just too early in the morning to get wet.

Rei released another startled cry as Kai let go of him but instead of landing in cold water his feet landed on solid ground making him blink confused then look up at his koi who just smiled gently, "You didn't actually believe I would dunk you in cold water this early in the morning did you?" He asked and Rei blushed embarrassed before giving Kai a quick peck on the lips.

Kai smirked and let Rei go before heading back to the dojo.

Rei smiled happily. Just another day in paradise but how long would this paradise last?

There! Please be nice and review! I'd be so happy if you did!

Till next time!
