Chapter Three: Sleep over and pillow fight

The planned was already made up, and Takao decided to have sleep over in their house. Rei, Max, and Kenny agreed immediately, while Kai refused but soon changed his mind due to Takao's hyperness.

"But, that was unfair!" Hiromi exclaimed, pouting at the blue haired boy. "You guys would go having fun, leaving me all behind?!" she continued, as the group laughed. Takao walked towards her, and begged to allow them to have some fun.

"Onegai? I promise, I'm going to clean the room on Monday. I won't skip! Just let us have fun... without you" He whispered the two last words, and hopefully, Hiromi never heard it. Instead, she gave out a nod and smiled at them cheerfully. Later, she bid everyone goodbye as soon as afternoon came.

And everything was settled.

Max decided to go home for a while to have some chit-chat with his father, while Kai and Kenny goes to their house to get some stuff. And as for Rei, he went to Takao's house since he don't have a place to live yet but luckily, he brought all his things with him before leaving it in the office.

As soon as the two walk inside the house, they were greeted by Takao's grandfather with an angry face. He walk towards the blue haired boy and was about to shout at him when he found the visitor right beside him. Rei smiled at him and slightly bow to give the old man respect. "Konbanwa, ojii- san"

The old man smiled, and returned the greeting. Soon he left the two at the doorway and Takao lead Rei in his room upstairs. Rei walked inside the blue haired boy's room and was surprised to see it... big. Well, not exactly as big as Kai's but it just so many space Takao had missed that the first thing that comes in his mind was that it was big.

He wouldn't be surprise if only the room was owned by Kai, Max, nor Kenny but it was Takao's room. Rei rolled his eyes through out the room, and shook his head in shock. He never expected Takao to be this neat before, due to the way he eat his food carelessly... why would he believe?

The raven haired boy just shook his head, and stared at the owner of the room. "I can't believe you have a neat room, Takao" Rei said with eyes widen in disbelief. Takao blushed and at the same time, he pouted. "What do you mean? Of course it was neat, because I kept on cleaning my room!" He protested, as he stared at Rei who muttered 'fine' in sign of his defeat.

After some talk about their life, the clock stroke eight and the cheery voice of Max was heard once again. "Takao~! Rei~!" the blonde greeted, as he walked inside the room and was followed by Kenny and Kai. "We're back~!!"

Takao laughed, as he jumped out of his bed and run towards the three. Rei smiled at each of them and soon faded after seeing Kai. He wasn't smiling like everyone else. The raven haired boy just lowered his head in dismay. He could say that their captain wasn't interested about their arrival... wasn't happy to see him.

But little did he know, the gray headed boy was looking at him at the corner of his eyes. There's something he didn't know about Rei's loss of cheerfulness, and he was curious to know about it... if only they were close, as Max stated a little back then.

________________________________

The group changed their cloth into a pajama, and sat on Takao's bed. They decided to turn the light off and close the curtains to add more effect. Takao and Max started with a horror story which is against the chief's will. He was indeed afraid of those kinds of story, despite of his knowledge about beyblades.

The two continued with their story, as Rei listened with enthusiasm and Kai just look at them with a feeling of disinterest. Max made some scary voice as he flash Takao with a flashlight. The blue haired boy made some scary look, which the three found more funny than scary. However for Kenny, it was already enough for him to be scared. He hate this night after all.

"Uhmm... c- can we just t- talk about something e- else?" The chief stammered, covering himself under his warm blanket with his whole body shivering. All of them stopped laughing, and Takao crawls beside Kenny with his funny face with Max flashing him with his flashlight. Soon, the genius fainted in scare, leaving all the four hanging in surprise.

"Oops..." Max whispered, as soon as the flashlight turns off automatically. "Battery runs out" he said bluntly. The four sighed, and just decided to turn the lights on once again. The time strikes at nine, and they are running out of time. They wanted to go have fun before they have their peaceful sleep but they are running out of ideas.

"So... what should we do? I don't want my day to be spoiled like this," Takao said, as the group gave out a nod. Rei and Max (except Kai! The anti- social kid!^.~) started to think, helping the blue haired boy to have an idea. Suddenly, Max jumped on the bed with his so-called puppy smile. He stood at the center of the bed, and soon eyes set on him. "I've got an idea! How about playing something?" he suggested with a feeling of excitement.

Kai, Rei and Takao just blinked at him in surprise. They never thought of doing those things in the middle of the night, but trying something wouldn't be so bad so they just jumped in the blonde's plans. "What kind of game?" Takao asked innocently.

Max smiled at him and laughed at the same time. "Your asking for a nice game?" he asked jokingly, taking the large pillow behind his back and shot it directly on Takao's face, enough for him to send him off the bed. "A pillow fight is your answer~!!"

Takao stoop up, removing the pillow off his face. He smiled at the blonde in front of him, and charged himself secretly. "So, you want a fight, huh?" he played, and soon tossed the pillow back to Max face who fell right beside the fainted Kenny. "Then, this is what you get!" Takao said proudly, laughing like a maniac, seeing Max lying feeling defeated. Both charged up once again, and take their own pillow just to be sure.

"You just forgot that my Dragoon is good at attacking his opponent! In other words, he is good when it comes to offense.... and so do I!"

"Oh really? So how about Draceil? You just forgot that my Draceil is the best when it comes to defence! So do the owner itself!"

Both best friends continued with their pillow fight, and Kai and Rei were left alone together like a mere void. The chinese youth cleared his throat, hoping for them to stop but to no avail. He blushed in embarrassment and tried to look at the gray headed boy beside him. Kai was giggling, and Rei knows it even though their captain tried to hide it.

Rei pouted and soon looked away from him, and decided to clear his throat once again, and this time, he speak. "Now, now, now... how about playing more pe---!!"

"Y- Yeah...?" Takao stammered, as he jumped back in surprise. He hide behind the blonde's back and look at Rei with a scary look. He never thought that the pillow he will throw at Max would go over Rei, or so he thought. "Uhh... don't be mad Rei! It j- just an a- accident~!!!"

The Chinese youth gave out a deadly laugh as he removed the pillow out of his face, annoyed of what the blue haired boy said. Rei got out on his nerves, that made the other turns white. Rei sure looks like a tiger whenever he got mad.

"Accidentally you said, huh?!" Rei said irritatingly, as he pulled the large pillow beside him. "Let me show you how to throw accurately!!" he yelled angrily at Takao and aim the cushion to him and throw it directly. Takao eluded it luckily despite of the accurate throw Rei had thrown. However, the pillow goes to somewhere... or someone rather.

''K- K- Kai??!!'' Rei cried in shock. "G- Gomen!! I hit it, uhm, accidentally at you!" he stammered, looking at Kai in fright. The room fell from the silence, well except to Takao who giggled at the top of his lungs but soon faded after receiving Rei's fatal glare.

Kai's eyes opened at the thought of Rei's silence. He removed the pillow that was taking over his face and stared at the person beside him with a small grin formed on his lips. "Your dead... Rei" he answered with a laugh, and aimed the cushion at Rei, revenging himself for being off guard. Rei caught it in his arms and smiled. He enjoys the game because Kai was already enjoying it too.

The bladebreakers (or should I say 'pillowbreakers' instead? ^^) enjoyed the whole night with their so-called-nice game, tossing each other's pillow like kids. The night was filled with laughter and fun, that it seems like there was no tomorrow waiting for them.

Ending Note: So how was it? Good or bad? Sorry, if it is short (and bad grammar as well) because I wrote at around 11:00 pm. Too sleepy to mind those things ^^. But, anyway, I hope you enjoyed it somehow even though the story always ended up in a stupid way. The next chapter would be MORE KaixRei centric so don't flame me, 'kay? And I promise making it a lot more longer ^_____^, or so if I could.

If your confused, don't be scared to ask me about it. E- mail me at corn3ts@hotmail.com. That's all for now. I have to write more before my attacks, I mean laziness, would come back ^^.

Oh! By the way, I'll try posting another chapter again before I go! And about the new fic... that's my treat for you all (especially my cousin Aya Maiki!) after my vacation! It would be fun writing Mask, and I'M sure I'll get more flames in there especially to Rei fans out there! (I'm also a Rei fan, but it didn't get me much as I thought it would^^;;).

I'm afraid that this story would sometimes slow down because of some works I'm doing. So I'm trying to longer the story because I know lots of people wants long stories, and so myself. Maybe, that's an enough reason T_T. Okay... got to go now~! ^________^
