Notes: Have any of you ever taken a break from updating that lasted a couple months? I have. As you can see. And you know what? After updating Hesitating, I realized why I love writing fanfics in the first place. :) It just feels GOOD. I've always loved writing and I've been trying to work on my stories more lately. But, every time I start to write, I remember that I haven't updated in AGES. :) And I love updating. I love getting reviews too.... Anyway...Re-reading chapter 9 of Dranzer before I type this chapter... o.o Eep. Kai says 'yessir' to Rei in this and Tala says 'yessir' to Rei in Hesitating...Hehe...
Dev- In response to your review on my little commentry: .- Glad you liked it. Thought it might be fun so I went for it. :P And, yeah, didn't need to know that XD Thanks for the review!
Chapter 10
Kai sat down on the couch with a heavy sigh. Having discussed Hikiuma's health with Dane and Tala, they'd come to the decision that she'd have to be put to sleep. "Dane calling the vet?" Kai asked Tala as his brother sat down in an armchair near the fire.
"Yeah...You know, Kai...I think Hikiuma knows she's going. She was being more loving than usual...She never seemed to like me before today." Tala commented, looking over at Kai as Rei sat down beside him.
"She never hated you, I don't think. Remember, she pretended to hate Misfit for the longest time. Look what came out of that..." Kai said, smiling a bit. "Wings looks a lot like her mother, too. Besides the fact that she has Misfit's eyes..."
"Yeah..."
"The vet will be here in a half an hour." Dane announced softly as she stepped into the room with Kate. The little girl, seeming to know Kai was feeling the worst, ran to him and crawled into his lap to cuddle.
"That's a good thing, I guess..." Kai murmured, running a hand through Kate's hair.
"I think it is." Dane said, sitting down in the other armchair that was across from Tala's. "So...Shall we catch up? Talking about Hiki is a bit depressing, you know?"
"Yeah...Well...Kai? What've you been up to?" Tala asked, trying not to sound too down.
"Not much, actually. Dranzer hasn't changed any so my life hasn't much, either...Well, for the most part." Kai added, smiling at Rei. "Yeah. This is Rei. Late introduction, but whatever." Kai shrugged.
"Nice to meet you, Rei." Dane said, smiling at him. Rei smiled back as Kate climbed into his lap to examine his bangs.
"Hey." Was Tala's simple greeting, accompanied with a smile.
"Perty hair. Soft soft." Kate told Rei, tugging gently on his bangs. "I want."
"I doubt Rei wants to part with his hair, honey." Kai told her, chuckling.
"I want!" Kate repeated, reaching behind Rei and tugging his wrapped hair over his shoulder so she could play with it. "Peerrty. Wha's your name, mister?" Kate asked, watching him intently with her chocolate eyes.
"My name is Rei." He responded, smiling.
"I Kate." Kate said, nodding to herself before she began to play with Rei's hair. "Kate." She repeated absentmindedly.
"She's adorable." Rei commented,grinning at Tala.
"Isn't she?" He responded.
"Hey, Tala, when are you and Bryan going to Russia?" Dane asked.
"Eh. We don't know yet. He's been busy lately." Tala said, shrugging. "Why?"
"I'd like to go up there. It's been awhile." Dane answered.
"I think we're leaving in the next two weeks. You want to join us?"
"May I?"
"Sure. You should come, Kai." Tala said, looking over at him.
Kai shook his head. "I think I'll have had enough of planes after the trip back. Besides, I don't think Kenny would appreciate me being away from Dranzer much longer..." Kai said, shrugging.
"So...How long have you two known each other?" Dane asked, unable to hold back her curiousity. (A/N: For some reason...I don't think I spelt that right...)
o.x Yeah. Pointless chapter. But oh-well o.x I think I'm going to use the idea a reviewer gave me...And, after that, one I've been playing with in my head for a few months .- Fun stuff. Well, anyway. Thanks for reading and please review! Later!
You are who you are, and that's all right with me.
I am who I am, and that's all right with me.
