Note: The beginning of this chapter that's between Kai and Kikile is this weird idea that I've had since forever. At first I was going to make it the start of a story all it's own, but I did that with one of my other weird little mind-pics and it now has me at a loss for a plot.
Chapter 7- Practical Joker
"KAI, YOU JERK! GET BACK HERE!"
The teammates startled awake to this wonderful alarm clock as Kai raced in, fell into a somersault and scuttled behind Rei as a wet and indignant Kikile stormed into the room. "Alright, menace, give me my clothes and I won't be forced to hurt you!" she said, keeping a tight hold on the large, fluffy towel she'd wrapped around her body. The boys started laughing raucously, and the girls looked like they were about to murder the peculiar-acting captain.
"Why don't you come and get it?" he asked jokingly.
"Because you really don't want me to, trust me. If I have to come and get it, it won't be pretty," she said, watching as he inched towards the back door. "Oh, no you don't!" she shrieked, leaping on him. Unfortunately, Grandpa opened the door just in time for them to roll into the dining room and was nearly steamrolled. They landed for Kikile's advantage, nonetheless. They ended up with Kikile on top of Kai, and she easily retrieved her bag. As she walked out the door, though, Kai had more than defeat on his mind. Man, had she ever ended up in the wrong place! When they had landed, from Kai's POV, her towel had been parted almost up to her chest when she had raised herself up, just covering everything it needed to, and her curves had only had the towel and his pajama pants separating them. It was a little too intimate for his taste. "KAI! YOU OWE ME TEN LAPS, SUCKER!"
He'd come back hot and sweaty, and then she'd decided to make it fifteen more, for some strange reason. He decided he must've seriously ticked her off. Not that it was the first time or anything, Kikile just didn't normally have a short fuse.
Hehe… just frayed nerves, he cracked to himself silently. She noticed that his expression indicated he was having one of his private jokes, and she assumed correctly so when she figured it was about her reaction this morning.
"Kai…!" she said, dragging his name out sweetly. He looked up at her from across the table, a nervous expression on his face. She continued; "You're trying really hard to make it twenty more, aren't you?" He went pale. This girl was seriously trying to put him out of commission with so much running! Oh, well. At least it wasn't…
"C'mon, lover-boy. Three hours of hand-to-hand!"
Hand…to… hand.
Oh, well. Good-bye friends, I may not come out of this one alive, he thought to himself sarcastically as he followed her to the training room. The two of them got into a ready position and began.
They had finished their three-hour session, and Kai was trying to gently set himself down on the floor of Tyson's bedroom. Kikile giggled at the sight of the overly stiff captain as he tried to lie down without upsetting any of his sore muscles.
"Let me get the Mineral Ice. Rubbing that stuff into your muscles will work wonders!" she said, walking out the door and reappearing a few moments later, the small tub of light-blue gel in-hand. "Take off your shirt and turn over."
He did as he was told, too tired to object. The betrothed girl unscrewed the lid and dipped her fingers into the clammy substance and she massaged it into his back, arms and neck. She worked out the many knots in his muscles, and he began to relax beneath her therapeutic touch. Unfortunately, the sweet alone time was soon interrupted when Rei walked in on them.
"Oh, sorry! I didn't know…"
"Chill, Rei. Just trust me when I say the Kikile's training makes mine look tame," Kai spoke into the pillow that his head was resting in, not even giving the nekojin the grace of lifting his head.
"Oh…" the boy said, blinking. This was something very unexpected, his captain being given a massage by a beautiful girl in the alone-ness of someone's room. Not that he was implying anything at all… gives readers innocent look while crossing fingers Kikile suddenly giggled when he uncapped his water bottle. "What's so funny?"
"Ohhh…"
"AHHH!!!" Rei screamed suddenly, racing for the bathroom.
About thirty minutes later, a steaming Rei re-entered the room.
"WHAT THE HECK DID YOU DO TO MY WATER BOTTLE?" he screeched at her, but Kikile was unaffected by his angered and putout mannerism.
"Oh, just a little jalapeno and Tabasco pepper juice," she replied calmly, trying her best not to burst out laughing. "But it wasn't meant for you. I just happened to notice that you had picked up Kai's water bottle by accident."
AN: (cackles) Rei saved Kai-kun from getting poisoned by his own fiance. XDDD Review!
