Chapter 8
-Ray's POV-
It's been 2 days since I found Kai in that abandoned warehouse. Two days, 7 hours, 20 minutes, and 17 seconds. But I'm not counting.
I sighed and rolled over, gazing at the teen curled up beside me. He just laid there, not paying any attention to my movement in his sleep. I smiled and traced a finger over his bare arm in a familiar pattern. Up, down, forwards, backwards, circle, spiral, and back again. He sighed slightly and moved into the touch, his head now resting on my chest. It was a familiar scene, but I don't think I'll ever get tired of it.
Looking over his shoulder, I glanced at the clock on the bedside table to see what time it was. 5:30 a.m. 'Wow,' I thought, 'It seemed like it was earlier.'
I looked back at the peaceful face of my koi and smiled. Shaking his shoulder gently, I called out his name in a voice a little above a whisper. He stirred slightly, but I had to shake him a little harder to get him fully awake. Violet eyes appeared slowly into my view. He yawned and stretched his lower back slightly. Looking at me, he smiled that million-dollar smile I love so much. It makes him look more cute and more younger. More touchable. I smiled at that thought.
"Morning, Sleepy-head," I said quietly, placing a kiss on his forehead.
"Morning," he yawned. He blinked a few times to get the sleep out of his eyes and looked around. "What time is it?" He looked at me and rested his raised head on the pillow again.
I smiled and reached up a hand to push away the bangs that had settled in front of his gorgeous eyes. "It's 5:30. Our meeting is at eight, and it takes about an hour to get there from here. So, we better get up."
"Do we have to?" he whined, snuggling under the covers more, the sheets covering him up to rest right under his eyes.
I laughed. Kai's gotten a lot more sociable and warmer towards us ever since the incident. And I'm grateful for that.
"Yes, now come on!" I gently grabbed him around his waist and pulled up, bringing him up slightly. He yelled out my name in utter surprise, but I didn't listen. I pulled again to where he was sitting on his knees in front of me. We both laughed as I pulled him on top of me, causing us to topple off the bed, him screaming my name. I sat there laughing as he lay in a tangle of legs and sheets on my lap. He looked up at me with a playful glare plastered on his face, only making me laugh harder.
"Not funny."
"Yes, it is." I put may face in front of his. "You ready now?"
He shook his head and looked down at the floor. "Not really."
I sighed and pulled him closer to me, my arms around his shoulders. "Hey. Don't worry. Everything's gonna be OK."
He snuggled closer into my embrace. "I know. I'm just a little worried. I don't know what's going to happen, and it scares me."
I kissed his forehead. "I know. I'm scared, too, but we just have to go along with it."
He looked up at me with those beautiful violet eyes. "[[Nani? Why are you scared?"
I almost laughed at that. He never looked so cute! "Because I don't know what he's gonna do to my phoenix. If he hurts you, I can't do anything because he'll electrocute you," I said pointing at the metal band on his upper left arm.
He nodded and pushed himself to his feet with a sigh. "I guess we better get ready, huh?" He looked at me, making me smile again.
"What are you talking about? You're already dressed," I said pointing at the navy blue boxers he had on. He blushed, his face turning a bright crimson color that could rival Dranzer's feathers.
"I don't think the other teams would approve." I laughed hard at his comment and tried to stand, failing as the sidesplitting laughs rocked my body, the image of the others' faces of seeing Kai in his boxers not helping any. After a few moments, I joined him standing.
"Do you want the shower first?" I asked.
He shook his head. "No. Your hair takes longer to dry. You take it first, and I'll get us something to eat." I nodded and strode to the bathroom, grabbing some clothes from my bag on the way.
-S-S-S-S-S-
I walked out of mine and Kai's room, my ears being greeted by a soft, musical hum. I went to the kitchen, a warm sight greeting my eyes and ears. Kai was at the stove, cooking something in a black skillet that looked a lot like eggs. He was singing softly a tune I had never heard before, his deep voice clam and soothing.
-"The things we did, the things we said
keep coming back to me and make me smile again
You showed me how to face the truth
Everything that's good in me I owe to you
Though the distance that's between us now may seem to be to far
It will never separate us deep inside I know you are
Never Gone
Never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close, everyday
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've got to say goodbye
I know you will be forever in my life
Never Gone
I walk along these empty streets
There is not a second you're not here with me
The love you gave, the grace you showed
Will always give me strength and be my corner stone
Somehow you found a way to see the best I have in me
As long as time goes on I swear to you that you will be
Never Gone
Never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close, everyday
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've got to say goodbye
I know you will be forever in my life
Never Gone
Gone from me
If there's one thing I believe
I will see you somewhere down the road again
Never Gone
Never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close, everyday
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've got to say goodbye
I know you will be forever in my life
Never Gone
Never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close, everyday
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've got to say goodbye
I know you will be forever in my life
Never Gone
Never Gone
Never far
In my heart is where you are . . ."-
I walked up behind him and slipped my arms around his waist and kissed his neck. "That was beautiful," I whispered into his ear. He nodded and leaned backwards into my embrace.
"My mother sang it to me the day Voltair took me before he burned the house," he said quietly, letting his head rest on my shoulder. "She said it fit the situation that we were in, though I didn't believe her at the time . . ."
"Oh, I'm sorry. Would you mind teaching it to me?" I asked squeezing him closer to me.
His violet eyes looked up at me. "Why?"
"So, I can sing it to you from now on," I whispered into his ear. I smiled as a small one came on his face.
"If you want me to," he shrugged, still smiling.
I nodded and just stood there with him in my arms, watching as the eggs sizzled in the skillet. Kai sighed and closed his eyes.
"I really don't want to go," he said, poking the eggs with the head of the spatula.
I kissed his neck again and gave him another squeeze. "I know, but we have to. We have no other choice."
He nodded again and turned around. "Will you watch this while I have my turn in the shower?" I smiled and pecked him on the lips, grabbing the utensil out of his hands. He smiled himself and strode off to the bathroom, his navy silk boxers swishing against his tanned, muscled legs in a rhythmic pattern. Damn! No matter what he was in, he was always hot! Even if he were in . . . Woah! Not going to that thought! Get your head out of the gutter, Kon! Kai would kill you if he found out you were thinking anything like that!
I poked at the browning eggs, trying to get my mind to focus. Kai needed my mind centered and ready today. I couldn't let it wander all over the universe. I needed it down here on Earth today, though, I don't think Tyson would be able to do that. His and Max's minds both wander around constantly. Who knows what they're thinking? No one. I guess.
"Is it done, yet?" I heard a voice ask. Spinning around, I saw Kai standing there in nothing but his new form-fitting jeans, rubbing a towel over his head.
"Th-That was quick." My eyes couldn't stop roaming, wanting to take in every detail of the teen's body. Damn, he was hot.
He quirked an eyebrow. "I've been in there for about ten minutes . . . What are you staring at?"
I realized now that I was staring at him with my mouth open and a deep blush rising up my neck and cheeks. "Umm . . . I uh . . ."
He started laughing at my expression. "You like?" He twirled like he was modeling, smiling as my eyes widened, looking over his well-sculpted chest as it gleamed with small water droplets that hadn't dried yet.
I gulped and began playing with the utensil in my hand, my face .
He laughed and came over, giving me a peck on the cheek and nuzzling his head in the nape of my neck affectionately. My blush deepened and shivers ran down my spine as he began nibbling my neck, letting his tongue roll over it occasionally. I laughed when he reached my collarbone. It was starting to tickle. His hand rubbed my chest, scratching it through the cloth.
"Kai . . ." I tried to say but my breath caught in my throat as he bit lightly. Man! He was driving me up the wall! I dropped the spatula on the floor and raised my arms to his waist and pulled him closer to me. He looked up at me and smiled. I smiled and crushed my lips on his, letting my tongue probe his bottom lip for entrance. He gave it. I was about to start exploring when a loud knock came at the door. It startled us both as Kai jumped, almost biting my tongue. We pulled away and I yelled at the door, angry that someone had interrupted us.
"Guys! It's Tyson! We need to leave in like . . . Five minutes!"
"Alright! We'll be out in a minute!" Kai yelled. He looked back at me and said in a lowered voice, "We'll finish up later, OK?" I nodded. He gave me another peck on the cheek and left to go in our bedroom to get a shirt.
I shook my head out of my fuzziness and looked back at the eggs. They were burnt to a crisp. I reached over and turned off the stove. Taking the skillet, I emptied the contents in the trash can and set the frying pan in the sink, picking up the spatula on the floor on my way.
"Ready?"
I looked behind me to see Kai standing there with the shirt I bought him for Christmas last year with its red and golden flames licking the high collar and the black background, greatly beautifying his eyes even more as they sparkled uncontrollably, his muscled arms gaining freedom from the sleeveless shirt. He grinned seeing my reaction.
"Yeah," I nodded and grabbed his hand, pulling him out the door.
He laughed as I tugged him along. "How much longer are you going to pull my arm? I can walk you know." We stopped just before the door to the lobby where the others were waiting. I looked at him.
"Are you sure you're up for this?" I asked. "Before we get into all of this mess."
He nodded. "I'll be fine."
I smiled at his face. It seemed so sure and strong. The same as usual. He had the same attitude that I had fallen in love with. He was so proud and loyal and . . . well you get the idea. Leaning over, I pressed my lips to his in a reassuring kiss. We didn't part until a few minutes past. He stood there panting as I pressed our bodies together in a hug. I felt his head rest on my shoulder again. "Don't worry. I'll be right here with you," I whispered in his ear.
He nodded again. "[[Arigatou."
With that, we both entered the lobby with the others.
End Chapter 8+
[[Nani - What?[[Arigatou - Thank you.
Never Gone- Backstreet Boys (don't make fun! They're awesome! ). Special thanks to - My mom who bought me the CD. And this song is dedicated to my "wonderful" friends. You know who you are. Also, sorry it's so long, it's a very long song. Gomen nansai!
Before I continue, I wanted to explain why I've put up 5 chapters. I haven't been to a comp. that has internet or even Word to put this stuff up and the school's comps have banned from the web there, which was STUPID! Bakas! N-e-way, I put 5 up cause I don't know when I'd be able to do this again. So, this should tide you guys over for a while. Hopefully! Gomen nansai!
Well, I finally took care of Auron. He won't be bothering Kai anymore. Trust me. Oh, and the thing with the closet is that when someone closes the door, you can't open it from the inside. It's like the knob is broken on the other side and can only open on the outside. It also sticks and it's very hard to open . . . Don't ask me how it got that way. It's been like that since forever. I'm just glad I got Auron to stop chasing Kai.
Ray- Well, that's good. By the way, where is Kai?
He's asleep on my couch. I wouldn't wake him up anytime soon. He's tired, and you know what happened to Tyson last time he woke Kai?
Ray- gulps Yeah. Tyson was in the hospital for how many days?
Exactly.
Ray- Oh, is he really that tired?
Yep. It turns out that he spent all night running from the maniac. Speaking of which. I meant to ask you. Do you know who opened the closet Auron was in?
Ray- No. Have you asked Tyson or Max or anyone else yet?
Nope, I've been working on something else, but good idea. Can you give the farewell while I go and interrogate everyone?
Ray- Sure.
Arigatou. goes off to do a little investigating
Ray- R&R Readers. And if you all have any idea who let the crazy dude out, please tell us. But please R&R! Arigatou!
