Please do not kill me for putting this up so late! Got caught up with some stuff… You know that guy at the corner, he's always trying to start something, and I had to set him straight! Kidding. But, yeah, here goes the first chapter! Sorry if it's short. Please enjoy!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh, you have got to be kidding me."

The small house had not looked nearly as chaotic on the outside as it did on the inside. "Kai, don't look down."

"Do I want to know?"

"No. But I'll tell you anyway. You just stepped in-"

"Don't say it!"

No, the small, navy blue house with a large, nice looking lawn littered with dog toys had given no hint of the catastrophe inside.

"Sorry, it's a bit of a mess, but its home!" chirped a gleeful Max.

"Understatement of the year," muttered Kai, observing his surroundings.

They made their way through the large living room, which had a cushy brown sofa cluttered with papers, bey-blades, clothes, chew toys, etc. A scuffed wooden floor could just be made out under all the stuff which was currently hindering their movement (Well, Kai's and Rei's, anyway. Max had no problem trudging through). The walls were painted a light orange, and a large window covered most of the left wall.

BAM!

Kai's attention was captured by the crashing sound, followed by frantic barking. Curious, and eager to be distracted from what was on his shoes, he looked out the window. Fletcher, the large grey husky dog that Rei suspected had a death wish (It had wanted to be hit by that taxi, he knew it!) was running around outside, chasing squirrels unsuccessfully. It seemed they were mocking the creature, because while pursuing them he would slam into the fence or go tumbling snout over tail.

They continued picking their way through the continuous mess that was their friends' house, to the guest room.

Max opened the door for them, and turned around beaming.

"Here you go! Just make yourselves at home. I gotta go pick Takao up, but I'll be right back! He'll flip when he sees you guys!" The blond dashed off, a remarkable feat due to the clutter.

"Umm, see? This isn't so bad; they've even got a dog Liang can play with."

The blue haired youth closed the door and let Liang out of her carrier, before crossing his arms and fixing Rei with the look.

Liang settled down on the bed for a nap, oblivious to the scary expression on Kai's face.

"Kon, first of all, there is… stuff… on my shoes. This is my favorite pair!"

"What? All your shoes look the same! I don't see what the big deal-"

"Secondly! That isn't the brightest animal out there, meaning it probably won't take a hint and get lost when Liang scratches its eye out. Thirdly, look around! I swear I saw a raccoon in the hallway!"

Rei glared in annoyance at the disgruntled Russian, before pulling a face that made him look like a kitten that had just been kicked. Kai tried to resist, but that face was just too much! Pushing slate bangs out of his face, hand on his hip, he sighed. "I guess it's not so bad though."

Golden eyes blinked, and Rei grinned.

"That's the spirit! Let's try to enjoy our stay." Dropping the baggage by the bed, the neko-jin walked over and wrapped his arms around Kai, resting his cheek on his shoulder. "I want you to relax, okay?" he murmured, eyes softening, "Just be happy for me. I miss you happy…" The crimson eyed youth returned the embrace, and rocked them gently from side to side.

He put his lips near to Rei's ear, hot breath eliciting a shiver. "I'm sorry, Rei," he whispered, "You know I'd do anything for you… Anything…" Warm, tender kisses were pressed just in front of his slightly pointed ear, causing his amber eyes to flutter shut and his mouth to open slightly. "Kai..." he breathed, a blush beginning to dust his face. Previously stationary hands began to wander, rubbing the neko-jin's back and running through raven hair. He pulled back, and amber eyes locked with crimson ones before Rei pressed his lips gently to Kai's.

Tanned hands slowly circled his neck, and Kai moaned quietly as a wet tongue playfully stroked his lips. He slipped one of his hands under Rei's shirt and rubbed the smooth skin there, startling a gasp out of the neko-jin. Kai took advantage of this, and slipped his tongue into the partially open mouth. Kai pulled back abruptly and attacked Rei's ear and neck with his lips and teeth, nibbling and kissing.

Dizzy, panting, and purring softly, he clutched at the Russian. Closing his golden eyes, he sighed in contentment. Now -this- wasn't half-

"KAI? REI? DUDES, YOU THERE! IT'S ME, TAKAO!"

-bad. Well, it was time for Rei to practice what he preached. Grinning and flushed, he let go of the Kai, and went to pick up a sleeping Liang. "Please don't pull any mafia stunts, Kai," he joked, fang slipping past his lips as he smiled lightly.

"Why Rei, I hadn't thought of that until just now."

Rei chuckled at his lover's sarcastic reply, before walking to the door. With the sleeping tabby in his arms, he turned to face the Russian.

"Let's go say hi."

Kai shuffled over, eyes drooped and sighing. "You make it sound so easy."
