Chapter 2: Trouble, Trouble, and Past

"Okay. Here it is," Kai said. He slid the door open. His jaw almost dropped when he saw the room.

"Hey, how come there's only one bed here?" the Chinese boy asked, blinking confused. Kai groaned. "That Kenny! What is the meaning of this?!"

"I don't mind sharing a bed with you," Rei teased with a grin.

Kai nearly jumped when he heard that. What did that mean? Did he..? No, no, no, no, no. He couldn't be serious! Stupid Kenny! I'm gonna crush him! Isn't it enough already? Why was he sharing a room with the Chinese beauty and only getting one bed?? He was still unsure of his feelings towards the golden-eyed boy! Oh Kami....

'Just let it be, Kai. It's a wonderful chance!' exclaimed Dranzer with her mental connections to Kai.

'Shut up, will you, Dranzer! I really need some fresh air about now. Kenny no baka...'

'Oh, how cute....this is the first time I've seen you blush, Kai! How kawaii!'

'Didn't I just tell you to SHUT UP??!!'

Dranzer was all giddy with delight. 'Whatever you say, Kai..Have fun!!'

Kai couldn't see it, but he FELT Dranzer's mischievous smile. He shivered. What was Dranzer planning to do? He never liked any of Dranzer's ideas....especially since Dranzer, as of late, liked to play matchmaker and had been telling some rather embarrassing ideas with him and Rei..

Rei saw the worried look on Kai's face. He frowned. "Fine Kai. If you really don't want to share a bed with me then I will sleep on the floor. It doesn't matter to me.."

Kai twitched. What am I hearing?! Is Rei actually hurt by this? Kai was a mass of confusion and shock. Dranzer took the chance to scold him. 'Oh, look what you have done, Kai! You hurt little Rei's feelings!'

'Stop talking to me, Dranzer! I'm in a VERY bad mood right now and if you don't shut up after this, I will .....lock you in a FREEZER!' Kai threatened coldly.

Dranzer pouted. 'Humph! Fine then!' She was gone. Kai saw a small chance.

"Rei?"

"Yes?" The raven-haired teen lifted his face.

Kai instantly swivelled his head to the other side. I won't, I WON'T be blushing in front of him THIS time! "I think.. I will go kill Kenny now. You can stay here and unpack your things."

Rei burst out laughing. "Mou, mou!. Don't hit Kenny too much. You'll have one less person to train! I told you I don't mind sharing a bed with you, right?"

Kai sighed, finally giving up. "Fine, fine, whatever. But it's MY decision to sleep on the floor". He couldn't bear to have Rei in the same bed with him. So close.. His heart would surely stop breathing. He was almost possitive he felt something for the Chinese boy, but he didn't know if the Rei liked him back or not. That was one of the main things stopping Kai from analysing any further. Kuso, it was so confusing..Whatever it was.. He didn't want Rei to feel uncomfortable with any stupid "confession" he might be foolish enough to give later on.. And his grandfather would surely beat him if he got word of anything going on.

But Rei shook his head, absolutely stubborn. "Nope! I'll sleep on the floor."

Kai growled. "No! I'll .. I'll..!" He took one look at Rei's stony gaze. "...Fine! Just...FINE! I'll share a bed.." He grumbling.Rei let out a victory yell. Their leader was so cute when he blushed.....and not to mention handsome..Rei grinned, looking around the room again. "Well, it's a pretty nice room, isn't it?"

Kai mumbled, "If only there were two beds...."

Rei sighed. Fine. So he didn't like sharing beds...

"I didn't now you hated me so much, Kai! What's my fault?"

Kai looked startled. "Fault? What fault?"

Rei frowned, "You seemed like you didn't want to get near me earlier, so..what problem do you have with me now?" Kai looked hard at the Chinese beauty in front of him, but..his body was trembling. He realised with a frightened shock that he was shaking in front of the person whom he never wanted to let see his weakened self.

"I-It's just that..I...I just .. don't want to be.. hated by you...." Rei murmured softly, his head drooping.Kai stood there frozen. He could hear Dranzer's annoyingly loud voice ringing in his head again. 'That's a chance, Kai! Go get him!'

'Yeah. I guess you're right, Dranzer' Kai conceded with a heavy sigh. He had to let the Chinese boy know..something, ......somehow. He was just glad none of the other team mates were there to witness anything..

'I'm always right,' Dranzer mocked.

Kai ignored that reply and brushed his finger against the raven locks, "It's alright...I don't hate you, Rei.. I just.."

Rei glanced at Kai, "You just...?"

Kai sighed, "Promise me you will never hate me when I say this."

Rei nodded.

'Go, Kai, tell him now,' urged Dranzer impatiently.

'SHUT UP, SHUTUP!!!! Leave me ALONE, Dranzer, PLEASE!'

'Heh, your face didn't say so, Kai...' teased Dranzer yet again. "I- I love you,...Rei." He shakily confessed, nearly whispering. He almost ran when he saw the stunned _expression on Rei's face, but he suddenly stopped.

Rei smiled up at him. "Me too...."

" Wh-Wha? What? Really?? Wait a minute.. For how long?!" stuttered the red phoenix, staring unbelievably. He couldn't even believe what he just heard! Was he dreaming?!

Rei get up and embraced Kai. ( A/N : Hey, I think Kai was more taller than him now, right? Kai is 18 now and Rei is only 17! ) They suddenly tilted their heads at the same time and moved closer, an unknown force pulling them together. Their lips nearly met when a coughing noise popped up from the entrance.

"Ehem."

Kai and Rei suddenly broke away and blushed.

Kenny was drooling when he nearly saw them making out. Tyson was standing there in near disbelief when Max gulped, "S-Sorry guys! Just a second ago, Mr.Dickenson phoned us. Errr... he said that he was wrong when he booked the second room. We come here to apologise about you two sharing a bed but errr..now.."

Tyson ran like hell to Rei. "What just happened?! Did I almost see you two k-KISSING or do I just need THERAPY?"

Kai glared coldly at Tyson. He didn't feel all to happy that the "moment" was interrupted by his foolish comrades.

"Yes Tyson, you DO need therapy. In your brain."

"What did you just say, Mr. Sourpuss?!" yelled Tyson. He was confused. What the HELL did Rei see in kissing Mr Look-at-me-I-got-triangles-on-my-face anyways????

Max covered Tyson's big mouth with his hands before he could retort anything back and dragged him out of the room with a nervous smile. "Eh....sorry guys! Errrm... Bye!" He ran out of the room with the silent Kenny and thrashing Tyson.They could hear Tyson's screams all the way down the hall. "Hey, LET ME GO!!!! Maaaaaaax!!!! I haven't SAID anything yet!!!!"

After the other boys left, Rei chuckled. "Tyson does seem to need therapy on his brain, ne?" Kai nodded. He was slightly blushing as he remembered what had almost happened before the others interrupted. What he had said ..

"Rei...."

Rei turned again to face the taller boy. "Yes?" He was blushing a little, too, but there was something shining happily in his eyes."Umm...did you really mean..what you said..before?"Rei let out a cute grin on his face. "Of course! I meant everything,.. Kai-koi..." Kai rolled his eyes. "Kai- koi? Oh, nevermind.I like it..." He leaned down and kissed the neko-jin gently on the lips. "Hey, HEY, guys!!" Tyson whined, sending them both a pout. "Why did you drag me away? I need to give that stonewall a lesson that he will never forget!" Kenny sent him a deathglare. "Yeah. Do it and Rei will not talk to you until seven hundred years from now."

Tyson gulped. "W-what do you mean, guys?" Max slapped Tyson's head, "C'MON! Don't you see what's happening around them, Tyson? They probably a couple now!" Kenny giggled, "Looks like Mr. Dickenson's plan already worked..."

Tyson and Max twitched. "What plan, Kenny?" asked the blonde, suspiciously. Kenny blinked. "Eh? Haven't I told it to you?" Tyson and Max sweatdropped, shaking their heads.

Kenny scratched his head with a rueful smile. "Well, about three years ago, Mr.Dickenson and me had found out that those two had a strong feelings towards each other, but didn't know what to do with them. PLUS, ..they were scared. They prolly thought that they would hurt each other if they confessed or admitted anything. Which ever one. So....here we are trying to get them together. It was too easy actually. This was only half of plan A!"Max smiled, "Oh, I see...But it worked very fast, didn't it?" Kenny grinned, "Of course..and there's another plan too.....for you two.."

Tyson blinked, confused. "Another plan? For me and Max?" He was so clueless.."What is it, Kenny?" Before Tyson could even finished his enquiry, Kenny had leaped up from them, grabbed Dizzi, and stuck his tongue out, all the while backing away. "Sorry, guys, but I aint tellin'!"

Tyson was also up in a flash. "Why you little....", and chased him with the confused Max lagging behind.Kenny laughed when he saw Tyson and Max trying to catch him. Then he bumped into someone in front of the drink machine.

Kenny was ready to apologise when he saw who it was. He stared with wide eyes. So did Tyson and Max. They shouted in unison. "MARIAH?!" Mariah blinked and glanced at the Bladebreakers. "Hey, you guys are here too?"

Tyson nodded, "Yeah. Mr. Dickenson booked a room for us. Hey, why the heck are you here? Are the White Tigers with you?" Mariah nodded and looked around the trio. "Hey, where's Rei and your leader? Don't tell me they didn't come..." Her bottom lip stuck out with a pout at seeing no Chinese luve- I mean, at seeing no Rei present. Yeah.

Kenny gulped, nervously. He didn't really wanna think of what he'd say if Mariah asked to go get them. "Umm..yes, they're coming, but they're still in their room. Do you want to see them?" Mariah nodded. "No, just Rei. It's really important. The White Tigers wanted to see him, too. We have a thing for him from Lee's grandfather."

Kenny blinked again, slightly confused. "A thing for Rei? From Lee's grandfather?" Mariah grabbed Kenny's wrist, suddenly, growing impatient. "Anyway, hurry and take me to Rei!"Gaaaaah, Kenny thought.But Kenny nodded and lead the way kinda slowly to Kai and Rei's room.Max turned to Tyson and whispered, "I have a bad feeling, Tyson. Lee's grandfather has never sent anything to Rei before!" Tyson nodded, agreeing. "Yeah, and I saw the panic in Mariah's eyes. Something's definitely up.."

It seemed like hours before they finally arrived.

Kenny knocked on the door. "Rei, Kai, are you still there? Errrm, a-are you decent?" Tyson and Max only stared," O_O ????"Kenny just shrugged. Mariah looked antsy.

From inside, Kai groaned. "Another unwanted visitor...." Rei just grinned. Kai walked to the door with a sigh and opened it. He stared for a while at the pink-haired girl from the White Tigers. Mariah glanced at the leader of The Bladebreakers, then looked towards Rei.

Rei was preparing to say 'Hi', but suddenly Mariah grabbed his wrist and dragged him out from the room. Kai was very close behind. Rei blinked, at a loss. "Hey, what's up Mariah? You look to be in a hurry..." Mariah kept walking and but turned around to face the other Bladebreakers. "Oh, and you guys, please come with me, too. I have important news for you."

Kai almost killed Mariah instantly for touching his newly found boyfriend, but he caught the edge to Mariah's tone. She was serious. Kenny, Max, and Tyson stared dumbly at each other and decided to follow the others.Mariah dragged them to a room, which held the rest of the nervous-looking White Tigers.Their eyes looked just like Mariah's. Full of panic.

Lee walked up to Rei quickly and gave him a white envelope. "For you, Rei. It's...from my grandfather." All the Bladebreakers were staring at the white envelope, curiously, but Rei glanced at the meaningful look in Lee's eyes and began to wonder..and worry..

Tyson thought, Yeah, something's up.....Rei took a calming breath and began to open the envelope slowly, much to Tyson's chagrin.Rei again told himself to be calm, but..that was way before he saw the picture inside..
