Now onto the story!
The next morning Kai woke up and found a note on top of a pair of clothes.
Kai,
Your clothes are in the wash so you can borrow some of mine. If you want you can spend the night again.
Rei
Kai slightly frowned. Rei's note slightly resembled Yoru-Kage's notes and that slightly disturbed him. Was Rei Yoru-Kage? He dismissed the thought and changed into the clothes. He looked at himself in a mirror and decided he didn't look so bad. He was wearing a red Chinese shirt and black baggy pants.
"Kai, you're awake already? I expected you to be out for at least another hour," Rei said, when he saw Kai walk into the kitchen.
"What time is it?"
"10:30, why?" Rei said. "I see you got my note."
"Yeah... sure did," Kai said.
"You can keep those clothes if you want, they're to big for me," Rei said. "Breakfast? What's that ringing?"
"Oh man, that's mine!" Kai said, rushing to grab his cell. "Hello?"
"Hey, Kai,"
"Yuki, right?" Kai said.
"Nooo, it's Tala- of couse it's me! Who were you expecting?" Yuki growled.
"Who's on the phone?" Ray asked.
"Yuki," Kai responded. "I wasn't expecting anyone. So what's up?"
"Kinda got worried. That fool Mitchel-" Yuki moaned.
"Who's Mitchel? Do you mean Michael?"
"I think so... anyway, remind me that when I can officially somehow move out, move far away... like to Hong Kong... or Scotland..."
"Scotland?" Kai said. "Isn't that random?"
"I'm Scottish..."
"Thought you were Korean," Kai stated.
"I'm that to..."
"So about Michael?"
"Oh yeah, he came home and began shouting. Hiei had to go over there and threaten him himself," Yuki said. "How come your gaze is scary 'cause you got red eyes and Hiei's is scary 'cause he has blue eyes? Don't answer that. Where are you? I can come pick you up, if you want."
"I'm at Ray's. And no, you don't need to pick me up," Kai said.
"Shut up! Not you, Kai- no I'm not talking to Oliver- sorry, Kai- don't fight on the sofa! I don't care if- Yukiko, take the damn phone!"
"Hello?"
"Yukiko?"
"Kai?"
"What's Yuki yelling about?"
"The usual. Haru and Hiei began dishing it out on the couch," she sighed. "How's Ray, and you, for that matter?"
"I'm fine, mom, so's my little brother" Kai said. Rei gave him a confused look and Kai winked at him.
"Well, son, did you get enough sleep?" Yukiko said, playing along. "Put a cork in his mouth- not literally!"
"Yes, mom. So did little brother," Kai said. "Say bye, lil' bro," he added, holding the phone to Ray.
"Bye...?" Ray said.
"Bye- keep Kai out of trouble," Yukiko said, hanging the phone up.
"What's that about?" Ray asked.
"Nothing much," Kai said. "Just a joke. Have you explored Japan yet?"
"No," Ray lied. 'Yes... it's actually an amazing city- I can't believe I lived in a different part of Japan before.'
"C'mon, we can go to Oliver's bakery thing," Kai said, pulling Ray out the door. Ray stopped him and pointed to his face. "What? Do I have something on my face?"
"No, that's just it. You don't have anything on your face," Rei said.
"Yes, I do," Kai said. "My face marks- what are you laughing at?"
"You're not wearing them!" Ray said. "They washed off!"
"How?" Kai said, then moaned. "I left my paint at home. Rei smiled and put his (Kai's) scarf around his (Kai's) neck.
"How do you tie this thing? It's long!" Rei frowned, still trying to figure out how to tie it and eventually got tangled in it. Kai easily unwound Rei from his scarf and tied it himself.
"That's not fair!" Rei pouted.
"What isn't?" Kai smirked, running out the door.
"H-hey! Wait for me!" Rei said, running after him and latched himself onto Kai's arm. Kai looked down surprised. He hadn't really expected Rei to be able to catch up to him so fast let alone to grab his arm.
"Too bad it's not snowing..." Rei sighed.
"Christmas, huh?" Kai said. "That's not for another two weeks."
"I know, but it's be more fun if it would snow," Rei said, releasing Kai's arm. They walked in silence for a few minutes when Kai felt something cold and looked up.
"Rei, I think you just got your wish granted," Kai said. Rei looked up.
"It's snowing!" he said, taking his gloves off and stuffing them in his pocket.
"I may be in Chinese clothes, but I am wearing gloves. Put them back on," Kai grunted.
"Make me!" Rei giggled, dodging Kai. "You're slow, detecive!" Kai stopped and stood up straight.
"What'd you say?" Kai asked, picking Rei up bridal style.
"Um... you're slow?" Rei gave a cat-like grin.
"After that?"
"Detecive?"
"I'm thinking of throwing you in the lake..." Kai muttered. "Yep, I'm throwing you in the lake."
"What?" Rei said. "Kai, you can't do that! You wouldn't!" Kai didn't answer and walked straight to the lake with Rei still in his arms.
"Kai, don't you dare," Rei hissed.
"Throwing a hissy fit?" Kai teased. He through Rei in the air and Rei let out a cry. The next thing he knew, he was in Kai's arms again, dry and not in the water.
"Kai, that's not fair!" Rei pouted. "Put me down!"
"Quit being a baby," Kai said. "Let's go to Oliver's now,"
"Fine... just put me down detecive," Rei said.
"When did I get a new nickname and you didn't?" Kai frowned.
"Since today," Rei said.
"Fine then Kitten, I'll put you down," Kai said. He then dropped Rei on his bottom. "Gotta run, there's a cat chasin me!" Then he ran a few feet ahead.
"That's mean Kai Hiwatari!" Rei said, he sprinted to his feet and ran after Kai. Kai stopped and Rei bumped into him.
"Kai, what-"
"Shh," Kai hushed.
"Well now, Kai. You didn't come home last night. I was wondering why," Voltaire smirked. "Dealing with vermin, now, are we?"
"Rei isn't vermin," Kai said, shaking slightly. Rei stood next to Kai and touched his shoulder.
"This isn't vermin?" Voltaire said. "Then what do you call aristocrats? And what are you wearing? Chinese clothes? Kai, Kai, Kai, you aren't even Chinese. You are Russian."
"I know what I am, grandfather," Kai spat. "Now, if you'll excuse us..." Kai didn't bother waiting for an answer and walked off, with Rei right behind him.
"That was your grandfather?" Rei said.
"He's no family of mine," Kai said. "C'mon, the bakery's just ahead."
"Well now, isn't this a surprise! Not only I have the Moriyama twins and Tala but now I have Kai and Rei visiting!" Oliver grinned. "So, what's going on?" his voice softened.
"Grandfather," Kai grunted.
"Yeah, we know. He came in looking for you," Tala said. "Bastard, he is, a bastard. Hey, Rei."
"Hi, so what's so bad about Kai's grandfather?" Rei asked.
"Rei, he just called you vermin," Kai said. "You know, the little rodents like squirrels or foxes?"
"He called you rodent?" Tala growled.
"No, Tala, he called him vermin," Yuki said. "Don't you listen?"
"Vermin's even worse!"
"I take it you two haven't ate breakfast?" Oliver said, gesturing to Rei and Kai. They shook their heads. "And Kai, why're you wearing Chinese clothes and what happened to your face paint?"
"That's not funny," Kai glared at Tala and Yukiko.
"He's wearing Chinese clothes because he spent the night at Rei's house and he was on the case so Rei put his clothes in the washing machine and let him borrow some of his and Kai left his face paint at home," Yuki said boredly.
"How do you know all this?" Rei asked.
"I don't, Kai says it all," he replied.
"Ignore him, Rei. He's still got jet lag," Yukiko said.
"Eat up you two. On the house," Oliver said, passing the boys each a bagel.
"On the house?" Rei frowned. "How do you get any business?"
"This place is busier in the afternoons, Rei. Don't worry about it," Oliver smiled. "Just eat it and tell me how it tastes.
"Why do you tell us that when it's always the same answer?" Kai muttered.
"He has a point," Tala said,
"It's delicious," Rei said.
"Exactly," Tala said. "Why don't we all have a sleepover at my house? Everyone game?"
"Not me, I'm going over to Hilary's," Yukiko said. "Gotta go, good seeing you again, Rei."
"Same. Bye mom," Rei said.
"Bye son, take care of your big brother," Yukiko said, walking out the door.
"Hey, if Yukiko's female, why aren't you?" Dragoon asked Chain.
"You are as dense as Tyson when he was younger," was the reply.
"Don't fight, children," Driger said. "At least they're going to the park..."
"Only one more day, Driger. Are you sure this is what Rei wants to do?" Dranzer asked.
"Dranzer, he can't keep hiding this. It's tearing Kai apart. You should know that," Driger said.
"I know, I know. I just wonder what's going to happen to this city without Yoru-Kage," Dranzer said.
"/Is something wrong, Driger?" Rei asked.
"/Just talking to Dranzer about whether you are going to tell Kai or not," the bitbeast replied.
"/Okay then," Rei said.
"/Have fun, little cub," Driger said.
"/Tiger/"
"/What?" Driger said.
"/I'm a tiger! A white tiger!" Ray frowned.
"/We'll have all the time in the world for this ridiculou conversation later, go play and have fun at the park," Driger said, cutting off the communication.
"Let's play tag!" Tala grinned when they reached the park. "I'm it!" Everyone took off and Tala was hot on Rei's trail and easily tagged him. "No tag backs!"
"We're in highschool and we're playing a game for little kids!" Rei laughed, tagging Kai, who tagged Oliver, who tagged Yuki who was about to tag Tala, who rolled down a hill, and everyone followed and watched the clouds and forgot about their game of tag.
Unfortuneatly, it began to rain. Yuki was muttering something about stupid thunder storms and they took shelter under a store near the park.
"Guess we have to stay here to the rain stops," Rei said.
"And the thunder," Kai said.
"Why do we gotta wait?" Tala said.
"You really want to get struck by lightening?" Oliver muttered. "This rain won't stop anytime soon. I left my cell at home."
"My cell's at Rei's," Kai said.
"I don't have a cell," Rei said.
"Now we know what to get you for your birthday," Tala laughed, "My cell's right here," he pulled out a red cell.
"Great, my cell's with my sis," Yuki said.
"Who should we call?" Tala said.
"Lemme see it," Yuki said. Tala handed over the phone and Yuki dialed a number.
"Great, thanks, buh-bye," Yuki said and flipped the cell shut. "Johnny'll be here shortly." Johnny was there in less then fifteen minutes and dropped everyone off at their houses.
When everyone went to Tala's place, it was dark.
"Have fun today?" Kai asked on the way over.
"Yep!" Rei grinned. "How did Tala get to be so fast?"
"Tag is his specialty," Kai responded. "His running makes up for his lack of brains- ow! What was that for!" Rei grinned and removed his hand from Kai's head.
"Be nice," Rei said. "Now where's Tala's house?"
"To the right," Kai said. "Hey, what-?" Rei had grabbed Kai's hand and ran to the right.
"You're slow!" Rei said. "Is that one it?"
"Yep, looks like Yuki's already here," Kai said.
"How can you tell?" Rei said.
"His car's here," Kai said.
"Oh," Rei said. They went up to the door and Kai opened it. "Aren't you supposed to knock?"
"Not with Tala," Kai said. "Tala, we're here!"
"We're in the living room!"
