Epilogue

Rei's POV

Dear Diary,

It has been a month since the incident and a little less since Kai and I got together. Thank the deities that nothing as drastic has happened since and I quite hope that it will remain this way.

This unfortunately doesn't mean that those two maniacs of Boris and Voltaire have stopped scheming and chasing after Kai and I'm so positive about this because I've seen their men quite a few times lurking in the shadows. Mr. Dickenson was also informed and we are and all are on high alert so I'm pretty sure that they won't try anything stupid for now.

Anyways going back to us, I have some suspicion as to how much of an accident it was on behalf of Dranzer and Driger that changed Kai into a cat. As it happened, last time during training, Tyson started to whine and say how he would pay to know what the bit-beasts did to change Kai because he was better off without training. I could hear Driger sniggering in my mind. When asked why and what really happened he started spluttering, chocking on the very air he was breathing trying to come up with a plausible answer.

Kai didn't lose all his kittenish antics when he 'changed' to normal for he still loves to cuddle up to me and if caught off guard I would hear him purr. He is really shy when we are alone and this is something that I wasn't expecting of Kai which is really sweet all the same.

To Kai's great frustration Tyson sent some of the photos he took to Tala and the Blitzkrieg Boys together with a letter which he and Max wrote explaining all that had happened. They insisted that as Kai' friends they should be let in on what was happening in Kai's life. The instant he got the post, Tala phoned at the dojo crackling with laughter congratulating Kai how much it suited him to be the kitty cat and said something more in Russian which I presumed was something somewhat perverted because Kai blushed and instantly hang up. It didn't sit well with Tala though for he phoned again and we talked for hours, hanging up with the prospect of seeing the Russians soon since they were coming to Japan and would be staying with us.

It took me quite some time to smooth Kai's feathers that day … but lucky me, I knew which buttons to push. We took to sleeping in the same bed because both of us had gotten used to the other during the 'neko' period. Also the nightmares seem to have ceased and only on rare occasions is Kai tormented by one. He says that it is because we are sleeping together and he now feels safe.

We, in our relationship, are moving with tiny steps. I don't want to scare him away now that I breached those walls and conquered his trust! Also I was quite awed by the others reactions. They took it in stride especially Max and Hilary. Tyson kept boasting that he knew about our relationship from the start. Kenny always moves a bit away when he sees us holding hands. It could be two things: either that he's shy about the prospect of having us under the same roof or else he tries to give us space for more time together. But enough of that, I'm happy with them excepting us as we are; without asking too much questions of what, how and what ifs.

For now life is going smoother than I ever expected it could, and I hope that it will remain as thus. I love Kai to bits!
