Lirin: So we've made it to chapter 5 so far. I kind of proud of that.

Kai: who cares what you have to say. I want this one going.

Rei: I do too. But first I would like to remind all the readers that our disclaimer is in the first chapter.

Kai: and we thanks suzanne, Beywriter, yukikittycatofwisdom, beckylovesgigs and The Noble Reaper for reviewing and encouraging our lazy authoress to move her fingers across the keyboard and get typing to continue this.


Chapter 5: Date

The boys took their time going to the movie theater since the movie was not starting for some time so they decided to detour to the park and walk around there for a little while. Eventually Rei spotted the empty play area and dragged Kai over to it.

Kai shook his head as Rei plopped down on a swing and began to push himself back and forth.

"Swing with me" Rei said giving Kai his best puppy pout knowing the Russian could not refuse him. So when Kai took a seat he smiled and grabbed his hand.

"If I didn't know better it's as if last night never happened" Kai said referring to how hyper Rei was acting.

"All I needed was a good night's sleep. And a date with you also helps."

"I'll keep that in mind for next time. So tell me my beautiful Kitten, what are you thinking about?"

"Not much, just how much fun I have being with you like this. I wish I could freeze time so this never had to end" Rei suddenly got sad as he thought of the future, the very future where he would have to leave Kai and his other teammates before they figure he wasn't aging like the rest of them. He would hate it when that day came.

"It doesn't have to end" Kai said trying to make his boyfriend smile again. "I want to be with you forever."

Rei turned his head away from Kai to hide the tear that rolled down his left cheek. "Our forevers are different though" he mumbled under his breath so Kai couldn't make it out.

"What did you say?"

"Oh nothing, maybe we should start heading for the movie theater now. I don't want our seats to be taken."

Rei did a mini jump off his swing and waited for Kai to get up. But the Russian sat there for a few moments more trying to figure out what was going through Rei's head. One moment he was happy and fine, but then the next he was moping over something he wasn't saying and then he was fine again. His brain was going to get whiplash if he tried to keep up and hoped Rei wouldn't keep this up all day.

"Kai" Rei whined when the Russian did not move from the seat. "It's getting close to movie time."

"Alright I'm coming" Kai stood up from the seat and walked to where Rei was standing. "So what are we seeing again?"

XxXxXx

The movie theater was slightly crowded with parents and they're young children coming to see the weeks special, which turned out to be Disney's Lion King and today was the last showing of it. So of course everyone who was either busy or lazy earlier was now there.

"Rei we can always rent this and watch it at home" Kai said as they waited in line with screaming kids near by.

"But seeing it on the big screen will be so much fun" Rei protested giving Kai a pleading look.

"Fine" Kai sighed and stepped closer to the ticket office, they were only a few people away now.

While they stood there a few kids pointed and them and whispered to their friends, but thankfully none of the little brats approached them much to Kai's liking. Soon enough they had their tickets and heading for the candy counter line. Rei really wanted some peanut M&M and Kai liked to have Junior Mints. And of course its not a trip to the movies without the traditional popcorn and soda to share.

After they got their snacks there was only a few seconds to get to their seats so they ran. The doors were just about to close and the lights were already dimmed and the previews rolling.

"Come on" Rei grabbed Kai's arm and pulled him to the two back seats which were still opened and not surrounded by kids. So if Kai was lucky he be able to steal a few kisses through out the movie and parents not complain about the bad example he was setting for their kids.

Kai looked over during the opening scene to see Rei already on the edge of his seat digging into his candy, Lion King was one of his favorite Disney movies and it was his first time seeing in theaters, he just couldn't ruin this for his boyfriend. So he just sat back in the seat enjoying his own candy and watched the movie.

"I still feel like crying when Mufasa dies" Rei said as he and Kai exited the theater into the bright light of day holding each other around the waist.. "That is one of the saddest scenes in any Disney movie.

"You did cry" Kai pointed out grinning. "I saw the tear roll down your cheek."

"Whatever" Rei huffed leaning against Kai. "Can we do lunch now?"

"You mean all that candy didn't fill you up?"

"Nope" Rei grinned up at Kai. "Now lunch, and nothing too fancy."

"As you wish Kitten."

They ended up walking down to the burger join a few blocks from the theater, which was thankfully quiet and kid free. Kai had paid for their food and Rei found a seat on the upper section away from the few people that were there, and also if Tyson and Max passed by they wouldn't see them and want to join them.

"Thanks Kai" Rei said after he had finished his second burger.

"For what?"

"Just for today. I know you're not big on kid type movies, but you still came to see Lion King with me and you paid for everything. So thank you."

"It really wasn't a big deal Rei. I love seeing you happy, so as long as that mission is accomplished I don't care what we do."

Rei slipped from his seat and onto Kai's lap and kissed him. "I'll reward you later for this."

"That sounds fair enough" Kai brought their lips together again for a more passionate kiss.

Beep beep. Kai pulled back and looked at his watch. It was now nearing 5PM and they had to get home for evening training that started at 6.

"Do we have to go?" Rei asked looked sad.

"Afraid so Kitten. The others have been home alone for a while and who knows what they did to the place."

"So true" Rei laughed and pecked Kai's lips one more time before getting up so they could go.

XxXxXx

By the time they returned to the dojo it was growing dark outside and light could be seen coming from the inside indicating that Tyson and Max were there. And that would mean the second they stepped inside Tyson would be demanding for food.

"Kai let's walk around the block a few more times."

"Why?"

"To avoid the others a bit longer. Today was so much fun I don't want to get interrupted just yet" Rei begged as they stood outside the dojo's walls.

Kai smiled as he sighed. "You know I can't turn you down when you look so damn cute. But only two time, I need the other two fed so we can get the evening training started."

"Thank you Kai" Rei leaned up on his toes and quickly pressed his lips to Kai's for a few seconds.

XxXxXx

"It's about time, I though we were going to stave to death" Tyson said the second Rei and Kai walked into the house. "Rei are you going to make us dinner soon?"

"Yeah Tyson, I'll get right on it" the Chinese teen said as he slipped his shoes off and headed for the kitchen. Kai frowned as he watched his boyfriend disappear through a door hating that Tyson was so demanding when they first walked in and didn't have a chance to relax for a moment.

"I'll be in my room" he told Tyson and walked off to the stairs.

In the darked spot of the house Kai sat on this bed and flopped back staring at the ceiling. Today had been fun except having to deal with Tyson. He was just laying there thinking about what they did, when the beeping of his phone caught his attention. It was now he realized he had left it behind, he was in so much trouble if Voltaire had called.

Kai grabbed his cell and immediately checked the caller ID. Sure enough his grandfather had been trying to reach him all day, this was not a good sign. He then proceeded to check his voice mail.

"DAMN IT KAI! YOU BEST HAVE A GOOD REASON NOT TO ANSWER ME! WHEN YOU RECEIVE THIS MESSAGE REPORT TO THE HEADQUARTERS." blasted through the small device along with several others like it.

"Shit I'm so dead" Kai grumbled as he went to change his clothes. He had to get to the HQ right now.

The gang heard Kai running down the stairs, and that was usually a bad sign for them. Rei was setting the table as he waited for the water to boil and the other two were sitting on their lazy butts watching TV.

"Kai what's wrong?" Rei asked.

"Sorry Rei, but I forgot I had something to do tonight. Do you mind being in charge of training tonight? I'll be back as soon as I can."

"Sure. Can I ask where you're running off too?"

"It's my grandfather, I forgot he was coming into town and wanted to speak with me. I'll be back when I can."

Rei looked sad, feeling guilty he had caused Kai to forget such an important appointment just so they could have a silly date which could have been any day.

"Don't look so sad Kitten, this isn't your fault at all. But I've got to run. Love you" he kissed Rei's cheek and went to tell the others Rei was in charge tonight so they better be good or he would make the morning extra hard.


Lirin: Now that was a cute day for them. Rei did you have fun?

Rei: Of course i did. I just wish I could be curled up in Kai's arms tonight. (hugs his Kai plushie)

Lirin: oh don't worry Kitty you will soon...maybe.

Rei: that's mean. But if I can't then I can't. After all I am a Vampire and I prefer not to attack Kai while we sleep. Oh and on a little side note, Lirin doesn't own Disney's Lion King. As we all knw that is a Disney movie and I love watching it.

Lirin: Well this is all for now, and I'll be back Friday with the next, but then it will only be the Tuesday's posting since I'll be back on track by then. Bye and please review before you go. Thanks
