Finally there!
Rei's POV and thoughts
I watched as Kai and Kenny walked off to get our new tickets for the next train, after just missing our train. Takao and Max sat on the floor in front of me, Max is trying to stay awake it seems to be, Takao 'helping', in his own way, i.e. poking. I sighed, it was going to be a long night, it was nearly 3:40 am and I needed my 8 hours of sleep, badly. 'I wonder how long it will take to get to Kai's house, I mean, I've never even been anywhere near Odate. I wonder what it'll be like there.' Questions, why do they always enter your head, when you know you don't know the answer for them, typical huh. Looks like Max is about to lose out to his body's wishes to sleep, and Takao's the one who's going to have to carry him on the train. I smile slightly at this idea, only slightly as I want to also give in to the sandman, not yet, not till I'm on the train. I look up from the two younger teens in front, and to where I hear Kai and Kenny returning from ticket buying. Kai glances at me, there's something odd about that glance lately, I don't think he noticed I saw him, I think that's a good thing. I wonder what he's thinking right now, but then again, he'll never tell anyone anyway, would he?
Normal POV
Kai took a quick glance to his tiger-like team-mate before handing out their tickets for home. "Oh yeah, finally, we get to go home!" Yelled Takao, jumping up from the floor where he once sat. "Yeah, and I can finally go back to sleep." Max yawned, getting to his feet once again. "Come on guys, we better get ready, the train should be coming in, in about 3 minutes." Kenny reminded the teens, checking his watch. Kai shrugged, picked up his backpack and walked over to the platform where their new train was to leave from. The others quickly followed suit. "So, Kai, how long till we reach Odate?" Rei inquired catching up with the 'loner' of the group. "It shouldn't take that long, about an hour, max." Max looked up, "You called?" Kai rolled his eyes, "Nothing about you Max, I was answering Rei." "Oh, sorry." the blonde teen smiled back. "Sometimes you are as stupid as the saying goes you know Maxy." laughed Takao putting his arm around his blonde friend, who pouted at this comment. Rei rolled his eyes at the two while Kenny stayed out of the conversation, not wanting to get involved. "All right, now we won't miss our train, this time." Muttered the grey-blue haired teen stopping at the platform edge, Rei walking into him, "Ow, sorry Kai. Kai?" The four boys looked at their captain who hadn't said a word, or even moved a muscle, then at each other. Takao shrugged, "What's up with him?" "Not a clue, I just want to get on the train so we can get home." yawned Max, leaning on Takao and Kenny. "Kai? What's up? What are you looking at?" asked the raven haired teen. "Hello? Earth to Kai." he waved his hand in front of the taller teen's face. "Huh?" Kai snapped out of his daze, looking back at the others, "What? What are you staring at?" "You, you totally fazed out on us Kai." replied Takao, "What were you looking at?" "Nothing." Kai quickly responded, shifting his backpack slightly and taking a quick glance back to where he was looking.
Kai's thoughts
I saw her, but how could it be, why is she here? I thought she'd left for good, never coming back. Sure I was a bit away from where she was, but I know it's her, that two-toned lilac hair and frostic eyes, it had to be her. But why here, and why now.
Normal
Their train was right on time, (makes a change) and soon the 5 boys were once again sitting down, heading for home. "Max, if you're gonna fall asleep again, sit next to the window so I can at least get out!" Takao practically yelled. "Takao, shut up, it's almost 4 and some of us would like their sleep." muttered Rei, "Kai, are you sure you're all right, you haven't said anything since we sat down." "Come on Rei, it's Kai, he hardly ever says anything." Takao commented trying to switch seats with Max at the same time, which resulted in them falling over each other. "You two make enough noise to wake the dead." Kenny sighed. Rei turned his attention back to the teen besides him, "Come on Kai, what was it, what did you see?" "It's nothing." Rei sighed, he wasn't going to get anything out of his captain, not yet at least.
It didn't take long, but once again Max had fallen asleep, and again used Takao as a pillow. "Man, why does he always fall asleep on me!" the blue haired teen muttered. "Aww, come on Takao, you know you don't mind." winked Rei, who was playing cards with Kai. "Shut it Tiger boy." Takao hissed in response, "Remember, I know something that you don't want someone to know." Takao smirked as Rei glared at him, "Don't even think about it." "Too late there Rei." commented Kenny, "He's already thought about it." "What are you going on about?" Kai questioned, placing his cards down. "Nothing." replied the white tiger, glaring at Takao, warning him not to even try it. "Yeah, nothing Kai." Takao smiled. "Whatever, any 5's?" "Huh? Oh, yeah, damnit!" answered Rei, placing down three 5's.
"What with the people yelling." came a muffled voice, "Some of us are trying to sleep here." "Max, you awake?" asked Takao. "No, I'm just answering you in my sleep, what d'ya think Takao." Max rolled his eyes wearily, "Are we nearly there yet?" Kai groaned, he should have know that was going to come sooner or later. "Max, we'll be there in about 5 minutes, so don't worry." replied Kenny, never looking up from Dizzi. "Yay! We're nearly home!" "Who's the one yelling now, Max?" Takao glanced to the blonde next to him who immediately stopped. "Much better." Rei took a quick glance at Max, then smirked at Takao, thus receiving a glare from the blue headed teen. "Rei, 3's, got any?" asked Kai. "Damn Kai, why do you always know what I've got?!" whined Rei throwing two 3's into Kai's waiting hand. "I guess I just know these things." Kai smirked at the tiger, placing down all the 3's, "I win." "That's 3 games in a row Rei, I think Kai's the overall winner." Kenny inputted, closing his laptop, "We should get ready to leave, we're nearly there." "YAY!" yelled Max, now climbing over Takao. "Max! Stop that, I can't breath!" Takao cried as the other three watched in amazement. "And I thought he was tired." laughed Rei shifting in his seat. "I was tired, but now I'm not!" "We never would have guessed, now get your foot out of my stomach!" Takao muttered pushing Max back into his seat. Kai just shook his head, muttering to himself about how immature his team-mates were. "Aww, come on Kai, lighten up, we're finally home!" smiled Max. "Great, home." sighed Kai, getting a concerned look from the tiger besides him. "Hey, guys we're pulling into the station." Kenny remarked, picking up his stuff. "Bout time, it's 4:50am!" Takao yelled, jumping out of his seat, grabbing his backpack. "4:50am!" a shocked Rei repeated, "I haven't had any sleep since we got on this train." "There's a problem with that?" asked Kai, "I haven't really had any sleep since we got the plane back to Japan." "Point taken." "Guys are you just going to sit there, or are you getting off this train?!" yelled Max from somewhere down the hallway. With that the elder teens made their way off the train.
"HOME!!!" Takao screamed at the top of his voice, "WE'RE HOME!!!" *THWACK* "Owies, my head." muttered a dazed Takao walking around dizzily holding his head, "Who hit me?!" "I did, now would you shut up already." replied Kai, walking to the exit of the station. "Hey, where you going Kai?" asked Max. "Home. Rei, come on." Kai answered stopping to allow Rei to catch up with him. "Later guys, I guess I've gotta go." laughed Rei, running to catch up with the slate haired teen. "See ya Rei, don't let mister sour-pants get ya down!" laughed Takao. "Bye!" Rei yelled waving to his team-mates, "See ya soon!" Walking up to Kai Rei smiled, "So, how we getting to your house?" "Master Kai." The two boys turned towards the voice, "I'm here to take you home." "This is how." replied Kai, passing his bag to the man before them, "This way." Kai walked towards the exit, Rei and what Rei assumed their driver, following.
Rei's thoughts
Wow, Kai's got his own driver? And 'Master Kai'? I never thought Kai was that rich, to be called 'Master' I guess I have a lot to learn about this place. I wonder what his house is like, I bet it's huge!
Normal POV
"Whoa." was all a shocked Rei could muster to say, as he stood before a white stretch limousine. Kai rolled his eyes, "Why does he have to do this to me?!" "What do ya mean Kai?" asked Rei as the driver opened the door, allowing the two to take their seats. "My Grandfather, the limo, why?!" replied Kai laying down on one of the leather seats, "Make yourself comfy, we've got about 20 minutes till we get there." "Sure." answered Rei sitting next to Kai as the driver started off.
