Whoo!! Wow, this chappie's longer than the others. Oh well, anything for all the Kai/Rei fans out there, including a ill' missy called Kidie, she wanted mentioning on how much she liked these fics, but in reality, everyone who's reviewed must adore these types of fics. Ok, I know one or two don't, they just like the story, but hey, at least I have admirers, that's what keeps me going on this. Right, enough about that, on with the fic!!



Shopping



Kai sat on his bed, lap covered in sheets, undoing his bandages hypnotically. The night had gone slowly for Kai. He had found it hard to fall asleep, plagued by images of his beating, the visions he's received and Rei. Rei had kept him company last night, sitting with him, talking about his neighbourhood in China and his old teammates. Kai had listened to his every word in awe, a smile never leaving Rei's face and Kai couldn't help but smile back at him. Rei had even mentioned how much smiling suited him and how he should smile more often.

Kai removed the last of his bandages and inspected his wounds. Most had healed up, leaving slight reddish lines on his skin which Kai knew would be gone in a few days, but along his ankles and wrists, the wounds were still healing and stung when he touched them.

Rei walked into the bedroom and sat next to Kai. "Tyson just rang. He's going to meet us in town in an hour with Max and Kenny." Rei said as he inspected Kai's body, trying desperately to hide the blush that threatened to appear from Kai.

Kai was worried as to why Rei was acting so distant compared to last night. Kai cupped Rei's head in his hand and raised his head to level his. That's when Kai saw the flushed cheeks Rei was trying to hide, causing Kai's own cheeks to blush. Kai released Rei's face and allowed him to bandage his wrists and ankles. Rei kept his attention on the job at hand, trying to forget the dream he had last night of Kai. He knew from then on that his feelings for Kai were stronger than friendship but feared that Kai wouldn't return the feelings. That upset Rei and Kai could tell something was wrong but he knew he wasn't going to get anything out of him and he wasn't going to push Rei because Rei never pushed him.

Rei finished bandaging Kai's ankles, yet he didn't move his hand, instead he let it run up Kai's leg and despite the red marks, he thought Kai's skin was so soft, so smooth. Rei's hand moved up to Kai's inner thigh in memory of his dream. Kai was enjoying the touch immensely, but his muscles betrayed him and tensed under the touch, causing Rei to remove his hand shamefully. Kai inwardly cursed himself for not being able to control his body as Rei stood.

"Sorry. I'll be in the kitchen when you're ready." And with that Rei left Kai alone. Rei leaned against the wall outside Kai's room. He believed there was no way he could cope with being around Kai without being reminded of that dream. It was so vivid, Rei couldn't believe it was just a dream. Today was going to be difficult.

At lunch, Kai sat in a restaurant with Max and Kenny. Rei and Tyson had gone to the store after Tyson's second helping, saying that they wanted to talk. Kai wasn't sure he wanted them to go off from the grins on their faces. He was sure they had some terrible plan to humiliate him. As Max took another slice of pizza, Kai sipped his coke and took his pills. Once Max had devoured that slice he gulped down his shake and looked over at Kai.

"How are you feeling now?" Max looked more concerned than that question was suppose to hold.

"Fine." Kai replied in his normal tone.

All of a sudden, Max and Kenny looked at each other with knowing expressions on their faces. Kenny spoke up with hesitation in his voice. "Kai. We, we went to your Grandfather's house last night."

Kai's heart stopped at the mention of his grandfather. He feared the worse, what had he told them, what would they think of him now. Max spoke up. "He said that you had disgraced the family name and he didn't want you to come back until you'd realised what you'd done."

There was silence. Max and Kenny waited tensely for Kai to reply. Kai just sat there, his pride stripped from him even further.

"Kai?" Kenny wasn't enjoying the silence.

"I was thrown out because of something I did that I can't remember. I've been having visions, flashes of what I did, but they're not making much sense yet." Kai spoke quickly. He decided that his pride was already stripped, he might as well destroy it.

Max and Kenny didn't get a chance to reply, as Tyson and Rei came over. Tyson helped himself to his third portion of pizza while Rei sat next to Kai passing him a bag with a blush tinted on his face.

"This is actually a gift, so you don't have to pay me back."

Kai looked up to see Tyson grinning widely as he whispered to Max and Kenny who were laughing. Kai opened up the bag to see a Chinese styled outfit, a lot like Rei's but without the sleeves and in purple and silver.

"We saw this store selling all Chinese clothes and thought of you." Tyson teased.

"Hope you like it." Rei looked down at Kai, eyes pleading.

He hoped Kai would like it, he'd spent forever going through the different outfits to find the perfect one for Kai. Rei also hoped that he'd get to see Kai wear it. Kai looked up at Rei from the outfit, a slight smile on his face, an unique smile that Rei treasured, knowing it held more than it showed.

"Thank you." Quietly spoke Kai.

"No problem." Rei smiled down at him.

"Alright, let's get going." Kenny said standing.

"What about the food?!" complained Tyson.

"Heh, come on Tyson." Giggled Max as he dragged Tyson out of the restaurant, with Kenny behind them.

"Come on, Kai. Let's get you some clothes." Said Rei, as he held out his hand to Kai.

Kai groaned as he took Rei's hand, standing.

"Now don't be like that, or I'll make you try on this red dress I saw." Though Rei joked, Kai could see the lust building in Rei's eyes at that thought.

"No chance." Kai smirked at Rei before walking ahead, allowing Rei to catch a glimpse at his rear. Rei followed next to Kai.

Most of the day was spent with Max and Rei looking at the clothes in each of the stores while Tyson drooled over the food displayed in the windows and trying to pry Kenny away from the electronics. Kai did his best to detach himself from the group, but it didn't work. Time after time, Kai was dragged into a store by Rei and even though he enjoyed the touch, the closeness, he wasn't happy with having to try clothes on, no matter how desperate he was for them. Though, through everything, he was happy that Rei was willing to do all this for him.

Rei was enjoying himself ecstatically. He liked being able to pick what Kai could wear and yet, if things were different, he's be picking out a completely different style. Rei grinned at the thought of Kai in tight leather, in the pouring rain. He came across a full-length white coat, which he thought Kai would like. He looked around and saw that Kai had gone again. Rei turned to Max.

"You seen Kai?"

"No. He can't have gone far though."

Rei leaves the store and anxiously looks around in search of Kai. He caught sight of Kai looking into the window of a beyblade store and walked over to stand next to him. Kai looked up at him.

"What?"

"I've found something, come on."

Rei dragged Kai into the store, not listening to his complaints. Rei picked up the coat and passed it to Kai. Kai looked at it oddly.

"Up it on." Urged Rei.

"You can't afford this, Rei." Kai held out the coat for Rei.

Rei stepped up close to Kai, leaving hardly any space between them. Rei could feel Kai's breath brushing against his skin, warm, relaxing.

"Don't be silly. I think it'll suit you. Try it." Rei urged on.

Sighing, Kai removed his own Chinese coat, revealing his bare chest. Rei tried his best not to stare at his toned body. Kai pulled the coat on quickly, feeling Rei studying him with such lustful eyes. Straightening out the coat, Kai turned to Rei.

"Well?" Kai placed his hands on his hips.

"Beautiful." Rei blurted out only to have all his muscles tense up and his heart rate increase dramatically. Kai couldn't hold back the blush that covered his face thoroughly. The tension between them was intense, Rei; mortified that he had let such a personal opinion out and Kai; overwhelmed with emotions of Rei's openness. The tension soon disappeared when Max, Kenny and Tyson rushed over.

" Hey! Wow, Kai, that coat suits you! You should get it!" giggled Max.

"You ready to go?" Tyson said trying to hold back the grumbling of his stomach.

"Okay, but I need to stop at the market first." Informed Rei.

"Sure, we'll be off then, see you later." Said Tyson.

"Okay."

"We'll see you tomorrow, Rei." Shouted Max as he walked off with Kenny.

Tyson turned to Kai, who had taken off the coat and placed his own back on.

"You coming, Kai?"

"Whatever."

"Don't worry, I'll pay for this." Said Rei as he took the coat from Kai, smiling.

With that Kai and Tyson leave the store and return home.

**************************************************************************** *****************

Rei returned back at Tyson's house an hour later and spent another hour in the kitchen cooking a traditional Chinese meal. Tyson had come in every five minutes, trying to get a taste of the food that in the end Rei threatened Tyson with a knife to stay out. Since then Tyson had stayed away, giving Rei the chance to concentrate on the food he was preparing and a certain grey haired boy that he'd fallen for. Kai hadn't come to see him yet and he was worried he'd scared Kai off by his forward expression earlier that day. That depressed Rei and many times he had to stop cooking to get a control of his emotions.

After another half an hour, the doors to the kitchen opened and closed as a presence entered. Rei turned frustrated, ready to yell, but when he saw Kai, his anger left him and he's filled with lust. Kai was wearing the purple and silver Chinese outfit with the white baggy trousers that Rei had bought, with white arm and wristbands. Rei thought Kai looked stunning, so beautiful, and so vulnerably young with pure innocence. Kai walked over and looked over the stove. Rei followed Kai's every move.

"What you cooking?" inquested Kai.

"Um, that's Yuk Sung, that's Chicken Foo Yung and that's Bamboo Shoots and Water Chestnuts." Rei explained, pointing to various pans.

"Can I try some?" Kai asked, looking up at Rei.

"Sure." Rei stuttered.

Rei grabbed a spoon and dipped it into the Yuk Sung then lifted it up to allow Kai to sip it. As Kai sipped at the warm liquid, his eyes half lidded and his hand rested lightly on Rei's, sending a rush of emotions through both of their bodies. Kai pulled away and stepped back from Rei, worried about his instincts.

"That's good. You're a good cook, Rei."

"Thank you, it should be ready in ten minutes." Informed Rei.

"Okay."

And with that, Kai left the kitchen and a very hormone rushed Rei. The meal that night was tense, with everyone trying to avoid Kai's situation and the awkward silence between Rei and Kai, only relaxed by the constant humour of Tyson and his grandfather. After the meal, it had already begun to get dark and Kai had decided to go to bed. Rei accompanied Kai to his room. Once inside, Rei closed the door and turned to Kai, who stood infront of him. Once again, Rei had to stop to admire Kai, but soon snapped out of it.

"That outfit really does suit you, Kai." Rei said, stepping closer to Kai, leaving the smallest amount of space separating their bodies.

"Thank you." Kai said, blushing again.

Rei captured Kai's face in his hand before he could turn away. Rei studied his face intently, how his hair styled itself round his face, his mahogany eyes filled with the same lust that had filled his own eyes earlier, how the pink blush gave such youth to his cheeks and his glistening lips, red and soft and..

Rei's mind stopped thinking and instincts took over. Rei gently pressed his lips against Kai's who didn't hesitate to return the kiss, locking their lips in a deep passionate kiss. Rei was overjoyed with the reaction he was receiving from Kai, who wrapped his arms round Rei's neck, so he pulled Kai closer, his arms around Kai's waist, pressing their bodies against each other.

Kai was so happy and didn't want it to end, he was happy, nothing else mattered. Suddenly, Kai felt a jolt of pain rush through his body and he froze in Rei's touch as another vision came to him. Grey hair mixed with blonde in the slight breeze and underneath this mass of hair, lips met viciously, tongues darting between moist lips. Kai opened his eyes, now fully aware of what he had done to annoy his grandfather and pushed away from Rei, shaking.

Rei felt his heart break at that harsh behaviour shown by his newfound lover.

"Kai? What's wrong?" Rei said with such concern, it brought Kai out of his trance.

"I need to be alone." Kai lied. He wanted so much to be with Rei at this moment but he needed to sort out his thoughts. The hurt that he saw in Rei's eyes pained him so much.

Rei sighed, having lost all hope now of Kai's love and left the room quickly, not wanting to let Kai see his tears. Once Rei had left, Kai let his own tears fall until he fell to sleep
