First off, thanks for all the sugoi reviews! It really made me wanna put up the chapter a lot faster than I would have otherwise! (Heh, yes, this is my definition of a quick post! Don't hate me!)

DISCLAIMER: Still don't own. Still wish I did. Is there a problem with wanting to make the show hardcore yaoi? (evil laugh- Hohoho!)


A man with a plan, there's my story.

If anyone was to ask Kai Hiwatari what his immediate object in life was, it would be, in no uncertain terms, to make Rei Kon his and his alone. And for this, he had a plan, or rather several plans which he had sketched out and visualized in his obsessed yet fiercely organised mind…

Kai's Plan To Get Rei No. 1: Be- extremely- nice- to- him- until- the- right- moment- to- confess

Driger crashed spectacularly against the wall, somehow collapsing into a million tiny fragments. Kai ran over to the fallen 'blader, giving Rei a shoulder to lean on as he got to his feet.

"Are you all right, Rei?"

"I'm… fine, Kai," he said weakly.

"Here, let me help you with that," Kai said gallantly, helping him collect the broken fragments of his blade. "This happened 'cuz you're working yourself too hard. You need to take a break from the training."

"Thank you so much, Kai…" Rei said shyly.

"Don't mention it. By the way, I'm doing this because… I love you, Rei."

"You… do?"

"Yes. Although my cold exterior might not show it."

"Oh, Kai. I think… I think… I love you too."

"Heheh. Kiss me, baby."

And then it got graphic, the hentai within being unable to contain itself. Yes, Plan 1 was a good plan. But so was Plan 2…

Kai's Plan To Get Rei No. 2: The sweep- him- off- his- feet routine.

"Wow, Kai, a ride in your own private jet plane to an unknown destination?"

"Yes, Rei."

"Wait till I tell Tyson and Max and Kenny and-"

"They won't be coming."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because… You're the one I love."

Golden eyes widened in surprise. "You love little ol' village boy me?"

"Yes I do. Wanna share my riches, baby?"

"Oh Kai!"

And then the 'eventful' plane ride. Yes, Plan 2 wasn't that bad either…

Kai's Plan To Get Rei No. 3: … Well, he didn't have Plan 3 yet, it was this that he was currently working on…

"Hey, Kai!"

Tyson was not meant to be part of this visualization. Kai narrowed his eyes at the baseball cap wearing boy waving at him through the open window.

"Kai!" Tyson repeated.

"What?"

"Come on out here and help clean up, would ya?"

Oh yes, it was autumn, which meant that the dojo yard would be carpeted with the reds and browns of fallen leaves that the 'homies' who stayed there were expected to help in clearing up. Kai was not in the least bit concerned with this yearly ritual, having been brought up to believe that cleaning was something done by only lesser beings, not scions of the Great Hiwatari clan like himself.

"Whoa!"

He sat up at the sound that was not of any lesser being but of that being he considered greater than creation itself.

A glance at the window brought him a view of Rei sitting up in a large pile of dry leaves, mock-glowering at the other three who were laughing raucously while Hillary went to help him up. As Kai watched, the neko-jin boy shivered involuntarily at the chill breeze that blew through, rubbing hands on bare arms. For whatever reason, Rei didn't have any proper cold weather clothes, nothing he could wear that didn't look like a mass produced piece of garbage. The first thing he thought was how nice it would be to wrap his own arms around him and let him know there was someone to keep him warm. The second thought… the second thought was the one that solidified Plan 3. It was autumn. It was cold. Kitties didn't like cold. Rei was as kitty-like as they came.

Yes. Kai was the man with the plan.

He would buy Rei a present.
