Reisei was leaning back in a chair in a sitting room reading a book waiting for Dana, Seiji, and Ryo to get in. White Blaze was sitting at her feet. Every once in a while Wes would poop his head in.
Seiji looked up the driveway to the mansion as he got off the bus. He didn't care about having to ride it, that was fine with him. He watched Dana and Ryo get off. "Last one to the house gets to hang out with Wes tonight!" He said grinning.
Dana and Ryo shook there heads and ran for the house.
He didn't have anything against Wes, the guy was just to much like Reisei in certain ways, it creeped him out that someone so similar to her just bounced into their lives during an already stressful perioud.
Seiji broke into a sprint with them.
He pushed his legs and began to pass Ryo. "I'm not getting stuck with Wes." He said as he passed him somewhat
Reisei stood up to go sit on the porch closing her book, a book of poems by Poe, nearly new in it's day, faded and old now. She set it on the table and walked out to the main hall and then to the door, she opened it and stepped out and smiling shaking her head seeing her friends race up the driveway. Almost like clock work though Wes stepped out the door behind her, Seiji raised an eyebrow as he continued to run.
Dana figured she was getting nowhere by just running, she turned around and just backflipped her way to the house beating them all, she stood up at the doorway, "Victory!" She stepped in.
Seiji stopped and put his hands on his hips, "Foul play!" He called and then realized he'd just given Ryo a great chance to gain some distance, he began running again.
Dana stuck her tongue out at Seiji and set her backpack down.
Ryo shook his head and continued running.
Reisei leaned over the railing of the porch, "C'mon Ryo!" She cheered.
Dana, "Sup Rei-chan?"
"Not much!" Reisei said over her shoulders still flagging Ryo on.
Ryo grinned and ran as fast as he could having some distance on Seiji.
Seiji mock pouted as he ran, "Ryo gets the whole cheer bit from his girlfriend but mine goes straight to talking! I feel loved." He said sarcasticly as he gasped and ran.
Dana grinned, "Good!"
Reisei laughed and smiled as Ryo spirted up onto the porch. Seiji groaned and slowed down to a walk, he already lost, no point in busting his lungs.
Dana laughed.
Reisei threw her arms around Ryo as he hit the last step. Seiji made his way to the porch and looked at Dana, "You're mean." He pouted.
Dana, "Oh! Your one to talk!"
Dana, "If that won't work for me it won't work for you either!
"What'd I do?!" The blonde asked. Wes looked around the scene on the porch and let his eyes set one Reisei and Ryo.
"You'd think I was his little sister or something." Reisei breathed into Ryo's ear so Wes couldn't hear. "He's been following me all day. I thought he was supposed to look after me, not be a constant body guard." She added in the same light, breathy tone.
Wes finally turned and went back into the house.
Ryo shook his head.
"That's a man that takes his job to seriously." Reisei said, Seiji nodded. "Weirdo." He mumbled sitting down on the step.
Dana leaned against the wall of the building, nodding absently.
Suddenly Reisei's brow creased, she sucked in a deep breath. What had happened yesterday, it was happening again, but she couldn't find her voice, or her breath for that matter. She tugged on Ryo's sleeve hard. (Sorry, had to do something)
Ryo, "Reisei?" He asked looking worried.
Dana jumped and ran over to Reisei, "Reisei? It's happening again.."
She was mentally panicing again, her knees began to give out fron under her leaving her mouth opening up in a silent yelp.
Ryo caught her as she fell.
Seiji, remembering the day before, blinked, "Shit! Where's Wes?" He asked knowing none of them knew, he bolted into the house to find the guy.
Seiji threw open door after door and finally spotted Wes, collapsed to his knees, fumbling to get his medicine, it looked like an inhalor but not quite. He watched as Wes used it and after a few minutes went back to normal. Seiji spun and ran for the porch.
Reisei sucked in a deep breath suddenly able to breath again, able to think again, and her chest wasn't tearing in peices, and didn't feel like it.
Dana and Ryo breathed a sigh of releif when Reisei breathed again.
Reisei hugged Ryo tightly. Seiji came out onto the porch, "Is she ok?" He asked.
Ryo hugged Reisei back, Dana stood up, "Yea she's fine.."
Seiji walked over and pulled Dana aside, "Guess which of our other house mates just had a go round with near death?" He said quietly. He didn't want to alarm Reisei or Ryo, anymore than already at least.
Dana, "Wes?"
Seiji nodded.
Reisei was trying to figure it out, racking her brain, even if it wasn't the best thing for her to do.
"Amazing, don't you think, how they both manage to have these attacks at the same time?" Seiji said.
Dana, "I'd prefer to just tink of it as coincedence until I know exactly what's going on..less of a headache.."
Seiji nodded.
"I'm going to go lay down." Reisei said, more to everyone on the porch instead of just one person.
Dana and Ryo nodded to her.
Seiji nodded and watched as Reisei walked into the house, then he looked over at Ryo considering telling him about Wes. Reisei made her way to the stairs and up them and into the bedroom. She climbed into the huge bed her and Ryo shared and closed her eyes even though she didn't think she'd sleep. White Blaze padded out on the porch and looked at Ryo questioningly.
Ryo shook his head head at the large cat.
White Blaze looked back into the house and then at Ryo again and turned padding back into the house and up the stairs pushing the bedroom door, whichhad been cracked open, open with his head, going in, and pushing it closed with his head and padding over to where one of Reisei's hands was hanging off the bed and rubbing his head against the hand,w hich instinctively petted him. Seiji shook his head.
"I'm begining to wonder if this place was such a good idea." Seiji said, "Reisei could have taken fine care of herself at the apartment, instead of nearly having a heart attack twice in two nights." Seiji said.
~~~~~~~~~~
Reisei woke up and rubbed her eyes, she looked at the clock, it read 11 p.m. She felt Ryo's arm around her waist and smiled, suddenly she heard something else though. It sounded like someone was training. She moved slowly slipping out of the bed leaving Ryo undisturbed and sleeping and walked across the room and opened the door slipping out then closing it behind her gently. She listened and realized it was coming from Wes' side of the hall. She walked over and knocked. "You ok?" She asked when he opened the door. He nodded. "Just training some, want to come in and spar with me?" He asked, she nodded and stepped in the room, he pointed to another doorway, "I have a spar room set up in there." He said and closed the door accidently slamming it. Reisei walked into the other room Wes followed
White Blaze woke up sensitive hearing picking up Reisei closing the door to leave the room. The big cat streched his paws and padded around to Ryo's side and nudged Ryo's arm.
Ryo looked grogily at the tiger, "What is it whiteblaze?" he asked his eyes half open.
White Blaze looked at him like :Duh. I'm supposed to do a dance and tell you?: The tiger wondered if Ryo noticed he was alone in the bed.
Seiji woke up slightly hearing a door slam. "Huh?" He mumbled groggily.
Ryo, "Well, I know your not going to dance.." He said slightly irratated, "Where's Reisei?"
White Blaze motioned his head towards the door.
Dana blinked and pulled the blanket over head, "Doors slamming bad! Need sleep.." She mumbled into the bed haklf asleep.
Ryo got up and rubbed his eyes and headed for the door waiting for whitebalze.
Seiji got up slowly, he sweatdropped, "Just got back to sleep." He said to Dana and walked to the door.
White Blaze followed Ryo.
Dana mumbled something inaudible and went back to sleep.
Seiji opened the door and stepped into the hallway.
Reisei and Wes had already begun sparring, nothing more than punches, kicks, and blocks. (Lol)
Ryo opened the door and stepped into the hallway looking around.
Seiji saw Ryo, "Hey, did you and Reisei hear the door slam too?"
Ryo, "Reisei's not in the room, that's who I'm looking for..I barely heard it.."
Seiji blinked and walked over to Wes' room and knocked on the door. Reisei groaned, "I was just getting warmed up too!" She protested as Wes went to the other room to answer the door. He opened it and looked out at Seiji and Ryo who was still across the hall, "Need something?" He asked.
Ryo blinked, "We heard a door slam, and we were looking for Rei too.."
"Sorry, I accidently slammed my door. Reis is in here, c'mon in." Wes said and opened the door completely and headed back towards the sparring room joined to his room. He didn't realize that not saying anything about having a sparring room could give a wrong impression about why Reisei would be in his room. Seiji looked over his shoulder at Ryo and raised his one showing eyebrow. He followed Wes into the room.
Ryo followed Seiji into the room.
Wes headed into the sparring room, "She heard me training and came over to see if I was ok and I proposed a spar." Wes said. Seiji followed him into the sparring room, sure enough Reisei was sitting on one of the mats looking bored waiting for her spar to be continued.
Ryo stepped in and leaned against the wall and nodded.
Reisei looked over at Ryo, "Hey hun, sorry if I woke you up getting out of bed." She said sheepishly.
Ryo, "You didn't wake me up...the massive cat did.."
White Blaze, who had followed them in, looked triumphant. Reisei shook her head.
Ryo sweatdropped at the tiger, "You never acted this way before.." He said to the tiger.
"We gonna continue, or would you rather go back to bed?" Wes asked. Reisei looked at him like he was nuts. "Trust me, she wants to continue." Seiji said. Wes shrugged and Reisei stood up. Reisei looked over to Ryo, "He was never competing for attention before." She said jokingly.
Ryo shook his head.
Wes took the opportunity to go for Reisei gut check style, she saw it coming andput her hands out, they caught on Wes' shoulders and she flipped up and came down standing behind him. When they turned to face each other again Reisei hand sprained forward and attempted to lock her knees around his neck like she had when her and Kento sparred and flip him, Wes was able to snap around in such a way that it losened her legs and he grabbed her by the hips pulling her upward and letting her drop behind him, she landed on her butt and cracked her head on the matts so hard that it did sting some. Wes winced and rubbed the back of his head almost like he too had felt the sting.
Reisei lifted her legs and kicked him in the back of the knees sending him sprawling onto the matts.
Seiji looked at Ryo and raised an eyebrow about Wes and Rei wincing at the same time about their head.
Ryo shrugged towards Seiji.
Wes pushed himself up and looked back at Reisei. Then he looked at Ryo, "Is this the hardest she fights or am I going to be in more trouble by the time this spar ends?" He asked.
Ryo, "I'd say you'll be in more trouble by the time this spar ends"
"Maybe." Wes said. Reisei jumped up and Wes did too. "Trust me, you don't want to tempt me to go to far." Reisei said. "Oh don't I?" Wes asked, they began into a round of fighting again and Wes ended up tripping Rei so that she fell onto her back, he raised an eyebrow and grabbed her legs. "Shit..." Reisei mumbled, Wes pulled Reisei up and dropped down at the same time giving something similar to a catapault effect. Reisei went flying a bit across the room and when she started coming down head first she put her hands out and caught herself in a very wobbly hand stand, she steadied herself and stood up, "Nice try." She said.
Wes shrugged, "Thanks. Normally I can pull it off though." He said.
Seiji shook his head, "She'll get mean on you." He warned, Wes just wasn't going to listen though.
Wes got into a battle stance for a second and then glanced at a watch on his wrist. "Crap, don't you guys have school tomorrow?" He asked looking at Seiji and Ryo.
Ryo blinked, "Yea.."
"You guys should get to bed." He said. Reisei crossed her arms over her chest smirking. "What?" Wes asked looking at her. "Nothing. I just think you tactic for getting out of fighting a girl who can kick your butt with witnesses around is amusing. That's ok though, we can spar tomorrow while they're at school." She said. Wes' face turned a little red. Reisei walked over to Ryo sliding one of her arms around him.
Ryo chuckled and slipped an arm around her waist.
"C'mon." She said to Ryo. "Night Wes!" She said. Seiji headed out of the room and back to his and Dana's room, he climbed into bed slowly. White blaze walked ahead of Ryo and Reisei.
Ryo walked out the door and headed towards the room with Reisei.
Wes watched then go and closed his door behind them. He turned off the lights and plopped into his bed.
Reisei walked into the room with Ryo and after White Blaze was in she closed the door behind them.
She walked over to the bed and slid in. "Sorry I kept ya up, I forgot that you had school tomorrow."
Ryo got in the bed, "It's ok, I've managed with less sleep."
"You shouldn't have to though." Reisei said softly, she moved curling up next to him and laying her head against his shoulder.
She had been up on and off all evening since she came in to lay down earlier, she didn't know if she'd be able to go back to sleep.
Ryo nodded, and fell asleep sometime later.
Reisei smiled when she felt his breathing slow, she looked up at his face watching him sleep.
Seiji had been laying in bed for a bit, finally he drifted off.
