Thankies to all reviews yet again! Sorry I never replied but I've been really stressed lately due to school and stuff. Anyway here's the long awaited makeover chapter! I was inspired by 'Once upon a December' in the Disney Anastasia movie…I can't stop singing it now lol. Anyway here's the chapter…

Waiting for Bryan to exit the room, Tala turned to Rei with barely concealed glee as he grabbed the wrist of his friend before proceeding to drag him down the hall into the fairly spacious bathroom. Locking the door, Tala cut off any possible exit his friend may have thought possible leaving Rei to feebly pout as his only chance of escape was cut off. Rei slowly lowered himself onto the side of the bathtub as Tala circled him much like a vulture would to its prey. Giving a wicked grin, Tala ordered Rei to run the bath and get in before dashing out of the door, once again ensuring it was locked as he gathered the necessities he'd need for his new project. Sighing at his friend's actions, Rei reluctantly stripped, mindful of his injuries as he slipped into the tub full to the brim with steamy water just as the door was slammed open causing him to yelp in fright much to the amusement of Tala.

Smirking at Rei, Tala placed the bag full of clothes and accessories on the floor before stalking over to where Rei was and getting to work on his latest masterpiece. Screams and yelps were all that could be heard from the bathroom as the three downstairs warily looked at each other, all unwilling to see what was happening for fear it'd happen to them to.

After a few agonizingly long hours the door to the bathroom finally opened, steam pouring out almost seeming to be something of a horror film as Bryan, Mariah and Lee waited nervously downstairs, anxiousness growing with each moment that passed as Bryan silently wondered if his lover had actually killed Rei, the silence so deafening as well as the knowledge of his boyfriend's instability only serving to back up this worrying theory. As the moments slowly passed, Tala exited the bathroom followed by a fresh-faced Rei who stumbled slightly as he was dragged down the stairs into the living room where his family and Bryan resided. Upon seeing his over enter the room Bryan wrapped an arm around him possessively before noticing the lack of their kitten alongside him.

"Tala what did you do to Rei?" Bryan asked warily, worry evident in his eyes as no sight of the young neko was to be seen.

"Relax; he's waiting in the hall. He wants to be reassured that you lot won't laugh at him, especially you Lee!" Tala warned darkly, sending a flirtatious glance over to his boyfriend who merely smirked in response, eyes telling Tala all he needed to know about what would be in store for him later that night.

"Fine" Lee agreed reluctantly, slightly put out by the fact he wouldn't be allowed to tease his baby brother in the presence of his friend's before brightening up at the thought of Rei looking less like a geek and more like a human.

"Rei, come in!" Tala called, annoyed when Rei didn't immediately enter the room. Sighing in annoyance, Tala exited the room momentarily before returning with another boy with long black hair in tow.

"Rei? Is that really you?" Mariah gaped uncertain as golden eyes locked with hers giving a shy nod in answer.

Gaping at the slight form before the Bryan and Lee couldn't believe their eyes. Long black hair shone in the dim light, shortened bangs shading his eyes slightly giving him more of sexy appeal yet still maintaining the natural innocence that was Rei Kon. His hair was now layered with dark blue highlights giving him a mysterious allure. His glasses were finally removed, which explained all the yelling that had occurred earlier on, in their place were contacts allowing people to finally notice his rich golden orbs. He now wore a silk black Chinese style tunic with silver fastenings and a pair of dark blue denim jeans over black leather boots. A black leather jacket was draped loosely over is shoulders. His hair was left running down his back like an ebony waterfall streaked with ice. His face had been carefully cleaned and although some bruising still remained, he looked a lot healthier than he had previously.

Word were left unspoken as the atmosphere grew so thick you could cut it up and stick it in a stew as the three silently admired the sight before them. Rei however grew more restless and self conscious as the silence continued to stretch. Finally breaking the silence Tala stood abruptly from his place in Bryan's lap as he glanced at the other occupants before settling his gaze on the now unnerved Rei.

"Well? What do you think?" Tala prompted, glaring at his boyfriend who hurriedly gave his approval in the form of an appreciative nod signalling the others to do the same.

"He's really changed you Rei!" Mariah gaped in awe slowly putting her arms around her baby brother as if she expected him to disappear. Blushing slightly in response to the unusually kind words coming from his family, Rei stood awkwardly, unsure of how to respond to this unusually kind gesture.

"I'm taking him shopping tomorrow so we can get him a whole new wardrobe if that's okay with you two?" Tala questioned already planning on what he'd buy, not only for Rei but for himself as well.

"That's fine with me, as long as one of you is with my baby brother at all times. I do not want him in the same vicinity as those total bastards who hurt him before! Understand?" Mariah questioned sweetly, eyes blazing in anger as she refused to allow what had occurred earlier to happen again.

"Excellent! Then I'll see you tomorrow Rei-Rei for a day of pampering at the mall" Tala giggled giving Rei a quick hug before exiting the room, waving behind him as Bryan trailed behind him.

"More like a day of hell" Bryan muttered knowing just how dangerous Tala could be when let loose in a mall. Well he was dangerous to Bryan's wallet anyhow with all the spending he did.

"I heard that! And just for that you won't be getting any tonight!" Tala called out behind him unaware of the wounded expression that had just crossed his lover's face much to the amusement of Rei and his siblings as they stifled their giggles. Glaring at them Bryan stalked out of the room before giving Rei a soft smile which was quickly returned.

"So how is he?" a voice cut through his thoughts as Tala turned to one of his oldest friend's with a small grin.

"Concerned for the kitten are we Kai?" Tala teased as he observed Kai's expression carefully, trying to discern whether or not he was worthy of Rei.

"Why do you care?" was the muttered response as Kai shifted slightly under the scrutiny.

"Because Rei means a lot to me and if you only want him so you can hurt him then me and Bryan will beat the living shit out of you!" Tala said darkly as he went over the situation in his mind, eyes sparkling with glee as he silently wondered which would be more painful; castration or having both legs shot off.

"How did you get Bryan to have sex with such an idiot like you?" Kai muttered with a slight smirk at Tala's indignant look.

"Jealous much? If you must know once he got a piece of me in the bedroom he couldn't live without me and my talents" Tala leered, inwardly giggling at the disgust that showed on Kai's face.

"Just tell Rei I'm coming with you two tomorrow. Better yet bring Bryan so I don't have to put up with you hovering around us" Kai smirked at the insulted look that came to the wolf's face.

Okay I'm gonna end it here. Sorry this is so late but I had a bit of writer's block.

And I REALLY need help for the next chapter, if anyone can give me help on different male clothing it would be really appreciated!

Anyway I'm sorry there wasn't much KaiRei, at least there was more than in the last chapter, but I'll add a LOT more next chapter and Rei's makeover will hopefully be finished.

Remember: It's a fanfiction crime to read and not review!

P.S. I'm aiming for another 5 reviews, and I promise I'll update within the next two weeks at the most!
