Secrets and Desires
Chap.5 The Need for Comfort...
"Agreed" was all Kai said before running out of the back door with the others close behind.
Just like when they first met the girls earlier they avoided the perplexed glances of passer-byers as they rushed back to their hotel room. Max pulled Mariah by the hand who allowed herself to be dragged by her savior smiling.
Max being the one to always have a cheery attitude and lighten up any situation let out a giggle before letting go of Mariah's hand stopping the now perplexed amber eyed girl. Tapping her shoulder and then making a mad dash in front of everyone called behind his shoulder.
"You're it Mariah!"
He squealed before bursting into peals of giggles. Mariah looked stunned not expecting him to do that before giggling herself and calling after him.
"Not for long!".
Fushia, Rei, and Kai witnessed this and simply shook their heads muttering one word "kids".
Seeing Mariah and Max play tag Rei realized something and turned his eyes on Fushia.
"Hey, how do you guys know Mariah anyway?"
He cocked his head to the side, cutely looking like at kitten earning a giggle from Fushia.
"We known her for a while in China on and off for two years, but met her a few months back actually."
She began glancing down at Rene and then back to Rei.
"She said something about quitting the White Tigers and how this Lee guy was abusing her trying to get her to mate with him" she sneered at the memory.
Kai flicked his eyes to Rei to see how he would respond to this information. Rei widened his eyes his pupils dilating making his eyes look like endless onyx pools Kai noted but shook the thought out of his head when the Chinese blader spoke.
"That jerk..."
He growled lowly balling one of his hands as his anger rose.
"But..." Fushia continued noting his attitude change, "he didn't take her virginity on a good note" she said calmly having Rei sigh with relief for his childhood friend.
"She met up with us bladding in the streets of China, and she spoke of you and the Blade Breakers, especially about that blonde one over there"
She chuckled flicking her head towards Max who was still playing tag with the golden eyed, pink haired blader. Now it was Kai's turn to speak.
"Wait a sec...you lived in China?" he spoke in a monotone shifting Rene's weight once more. Fushia glanced at Kai nodding her head.
"Yeah...but we weren't born there, we ran away from our isolated village so we could expand our horizons, like Rei over here did" she smiled at Kai who gave her an unreadable expression in return.
Fushia rolled her eyes and continued keeping her gaze on the pink haired girl in front of them.
"As you probably know Rei is a Neko-jin..." they nodded confused to where she was going "well he isn't completely one, he has a bit of human in him unlike myself hence mine and Rene's tails" she swayed her tail just to prove her point.
Rei nodded now interested "So.how is it that you are full blooded and I am not?" Kai looked interested as well just as confused, but of course his face expression never showed it.
Fushia sighed "Don't let the fangs and cat-like eyes deceive you, because.looks can be deceiving." She said getting a far off look before continuing hoping that the others didn't notice anything.
"Your grandmother or grandfather was human, causing their offspring to be half bred, but they mated with a full blooded Neko-jin and thus had you."
She explained as if she explained it a million times.
"But my ancestors or my relatives never mated with humans making me full blooded, but Rene on the other hand is half Tora-jin and half Neko-jin. Which means that she is faster than all of us combined, a lot of strength when she's angry or desperate, and I bet from the way Angelo's head was chopped off, that Rene was the reaper."
She smirked before speaking once more "-but her senses are acute like our own."
She smiled down at Rene. Rei and Kai looked down at Rene and then at Fushia nodding their head in understanding.
"I bet you lived in the village not too far from my own" Rei grinned showing his fangs happily. Fushia laughed and nodded her head.
"Then what brought you here to Japan then?"
Kai asked but made it sound more like a statement unintentionally. Fushia glared at the ground and hissed one word.
"Angelo.".
Rei bit his lip and then smiled "Hey we're here" he announced walking into the hotel and into the elevator Max and Mariah held open for them.
Kai looked at Fushia and cocked his head as a signal to go ahead first which made her smile and go into the elevator with Kai still holding Rene not long after.
In the elevator Rei adjusted the shoulder strap of the girls' black duffel bag while waiting for the doors to open on their floor.
While he looked around the elevator he found Fushia, Mariah and Max into their own conversation, and Kai was leaning against the metallic wall continuing to hold an unconscious Rene effortlessly in his arms.
Taking a closer look at his features he saw his slate bangs speckled with blood and his shark finned triangles were slightly smudged. Absently he lifted his hand to the blunette's bangs slipping a few silky strands between his fingers to get some of the blood off. Kai felt the tips of Rei's fingers touch his forehead making him slowly lift his garnet eyes to meet gold.
Kai gave him a perplexed look at to why Rei was touching him, making the now blushing yet smiling ebony haired blader show him his hands that were covered in blood before running his fingers through his slate hair once again.
Kai was enjoying the gentle fingers running through his hair, he gave Rei a small yet genuine smile of thanks before closing his eyes once more leaning into the skillful fingers to give Rei better access to the taller boy's head.
Rei grinned from ear to ear when Kai smiled at him continuing running his fingers through his crush's hair removing any sign of blood. Ruffling Kai's hair playfully he was met with an annoyed expression causing him to chuckle.
'He's cuter when he's smiling'
Rei thought absently as he stepped out of the elevator with Kai close behind and into their huge hotel room where Tyson turned from the television letting out a shriek.
"Oh my God!!! Kai actually killed someone! I knew that he could get mad and all... but I NEVER in my whole life thought that he'd actually KILL someone!"
He rushed up to them looking at a bloodstained Rene and then a death glaring Kai.
"What did she do Kai? Poke you or something?" Tyson looked about all panicky "AND you brought the body back here?! What kind of sick person are you?!"
If it was possible Tyson's indigo eyes grew larger. Fushia and Mariah glanced at Max who sheepishly grinned in response before sighing at Tyson.
"He didn't kill anyone Tyson. It's a long story, too long to explain right now in fact" he yawned just for good measure.
Tyson pouted in not getting to know what was going on, but nodded in understanding after seeing the looks the group sent him.
"Okay well good night you guys..." he looked about uncomfortably before heading to the room he shared with Max who was right behind him stifling yet another yawn.
Fushia and Mariah hugged Rei and Kai, who wrinkled his nose in disgust and didn't return the gesture, once more.
"We just can't thank you guys enough for helping us"
Fushia whispered as she stepped back from Kai.
Mariah nodded "We'll sleep in the living room" she stated leaving no room for an argument.
Fushia looked back at Kai holding Rene before glancing at Rei with their belongings and Mariah who simply nodded as if agreeing to something. Fushia dipped her head thankfully to her salmon hair colored friend before turning her burgundy eyes on Kai.
"Can you take her to the bathroom for me" she asked softly, following Kai after he silently complied with her request.
Fushia ran the bath water making sure it was the right temperature before placing her hair into a high ponytail. Kai closed the bathroom door to give them privacy before placing Rene gently on the tiled floor so he could stretch his arms from holding her for so long on the same position. A few moments later Fushia turned the tap off and faced Kai once more.
"Sit her up so I can undress her." she said bluntly catching Kai off guard.
"Why not just put her in the tub as she is?" he folded his arms stubbornly causing Fushia to roll her eyes.
"Cause it'll make a bigger mess that's why."
She flicked a few of her stray maroon strands out of her face before looking up at Kai from her kneeling position.
"Now are you gonna help or what?" she rose a slender eyebrow at him.
"Whatever..." was all he said before kneeling down supporting the unconscious girl by placing her between his legs as Fushia undressed her.
Now having Rene in her bra and underwear, Fushia debated if she should take those off as well. Choosing not to she asked Kai to place her into the warm bath water which he complied to without a word.
Feeling Rene's body against his and seeing her practically naked for the third(.or was it sixth?) time today, Kai got fairly used to it as he dunked his arms in the warm water to place Rene in pulling her up so her head was above the water.
"Gonna need your help here Kai." Fushia said as he began to head for the door.
Turning around wearily he folded his arms lightly glaring at the violet eyed girl raising his eyebrow that said 'what now?'.
Fushia cocked her head sharply for Kai to help which he did bitchily. Just as Fushia dipped her hand into the water and trailed her fingers along Rene's face rubbing off the twin red triangles that graced her features, the caramel skinned girl began to stir.
Rene began to move her hand onto the head before realization hit her hard, she shot up in the water yelping and began to thrash about splashing water on the other two teens and everywhere else.
Kai grabbed Rene's shoulders before pulling her into a firm hold, while Fushia stroked her red streaked hair desperately trying to have her friend calm down.
Kai held the whimpering girl tighter to then cup Rene's face to make her look into his eyes firmly repeating her name.
Rene was perplexed, how did she get into water?
What happened to Angelo?
Who was holding her now?
Those thoughts echoed in her head as she tried in vain to get away from the person holding her.
When she felt a hand grip her chin, she hesitantly looked up expecting to meet with the viscously lustful chestnut colored eyes of her master, but wasn't expecting to come face to face with cold yet comforting crimson.
Rene slowly began to calm down as she stared into those endless sun-set colored pools looking deep into them with her dilated ruby ones as if she knew them from somewhere.
Seeing the light skinned Tora-Neko-jin at last calm down to Kai's embrace, Fushia wrung herself off before touching Kai on the shoulder and then touching Rene.
"Rene..."
Fushia said softly as she saw her friend look into her direction water dripping off her long (A/N: not even close to as long as Rei's though!) red and black hair.
"Fushia."
She replied slowly gripping Kai's red silk shirt as she began to remember in horror.
"...I-I killed Angelo...." Her bottom lip quivered as tears began to cascade down her bruised, triangle free cheeks.
Fushia smiled sadly to her worried friend before smiling proudly flashing her fangs.
"I know Rene.I know, but he got just what he was needing for a long ass time. It's not your fault Rene." she cooed.
"You know she's right ..." Rene shot her head up at the voice.
Kai who had his arms loosely around her waist, dipped his head softly before lifting her out of the tub like a three year old, and onto the tiled floor which was also slick with water.
Rene blushed seeing the mess she made and what she did to her friends touching Fushia's soaking hair , she looked at Kai before lowering her scarlet eyes to the ground.
"Umm...thanks, for helping me.."
She said in a grateful, yet uncomfortable whisper before running the tap and taking a bunch of mouth wash, she gargled getting the sickening taste out of her mouth.
Kai merely gave a dip of his head not knowing how to react to her gratitude, and left the bathroom while Fushia giggled hugging her friend affectionately.
"I'm just glad you're okay Rene" she mewed happily.
Rene smiled and wrapped a towel around her torso drying herself off before cleaning up the flooded bathroom.
"Where are my clothes?"
She asked suspiciously, as she remembered what Tyson, Max, and Kenny did earlier that morning, without looking up from the floor.
Fushia tapped her nose before clicking her fingers.
"I'll get them for you Rene" she left to come back holding dry clean clothes for Rene to wear.
After getting dressed into short cotton shorts and spaghetti strapped red night wear, she carried her soiled clothing into the washroom to add to their earlier load. As she walked back to the living room she gave Rei a hug of gratitude before lying down curling up into a purring ball on the sofa.
Mariah and Fushia soon to follow on the other upholstery. Rei closed his door seeing Kai's door close when he emerged from the bathroom dripping from head to toe muttering something about stupid Fushia and weaknesses.
As the night carried on it soon became a loud thunder cracking storm jolting Rene out of her serene slumber to look about like a frightened kitten hugging a pillow tight to her chest.
She glanced about the dark living room seeing her friends sincerely sleeping as thunder crackled once again making the sixteen year old whimper like a child. She needed company, she hated storms especially ones that had lighting jumping about as if it was going to barbecue you if it touched you.
Getting up shakily she made her way to the only room she knew, but something caught her attention. Heading towards Kai's door was Rei, his calf length raven hair flowing out of its cloth wrapped bindings like a river of ink behind as he padded in nothing but his boxers looking the same way she was except Rene was now in her shirt and hipster panties.
Both smiled at each other in understanding before knocking gently on Kai's emerald painted door. Both teens stood like kittens in the rain waiting for a response before clinging to each other as a clash of thunder and lightening reached their ears causing them to mesh their eyes closed and whimper cowardly.
Rei held Rene close to his chest as he mewed hoping the sound went away soon. Rene looked up into Rei's golden eyes enjoying his scent before blushing realizing that she was staring.
Slowly releasing each other from their awkward embrace they knocked once more on Kai's door before opening it silently sneaking in. Standing in the darkness both teens adjusted their feline-like eyes to the dark now able to see in it making their eyes glow softly.
They saw Kai sleeping peacefully in his boxers, his light blue bangs tossed to one side of his face showing his angelic features free of the blue shark fin marks that were always upon his cheeks.
Rene and Rei snapped themselves out of staring and staying close by each other in case the thunder and lighting clashed again made their way to the foot of Kai's bed. Rene's tail twitched showing her anxiety of the storm while Rei fidgeted in place, looking at each other they gulped hoping that he'd wake up on his own.
Seeing as he was still sleeping Rene nudged Rei.
"You wake him up" she whispered nervously.
"And get my head chewed off?" he replied back just as nervous flicking his glowing golden eyes on the owner of Dranzer he nudged Rene back.
"You do it" he insisted but she shook her head just as quick.
"No you do it..."
"No, you!"
"You..."
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No way!"
"You do it!" she whispered back more firmly.
"Do what?"
Came a cold voice cutting through the whispers like a knife making both teens cling to one another startled. The Neko-jins let their eyes trail up the king sized bed to a now awake and irritated bluenette (and shirtless *drools*) team captain.
Releasing from their embrace once again they looked to the floor embarrassed on asking Kai a silly thing.
Kai sat up on his bed waking to the sound of two people arguing in his room. There he could make out their silhouettes in the darkness, one taller and one slightly shorter than the taller one.
When he heard their voices he could recognize the owners of the voices, Rei and Rene.
He spoke to interrupt their little argument making them yelp and cling to each other for dear life, obviously they didn't know he woke up. He was now staring with glowing ruby and gold pairs of eyes. He folded his arms impatiently waiting for one of the two to answer his question.
"We were wondering if ummm..."
Rene began fidgeting as she looked at the flashes of lightening through the curtains.
"If we could sleep with you- I mean HERE with you.."
Rei corrected himself blushing madly. Kai widened his crimson eyes at the both of them stunned to what they were asking.
"Why?"
He said suspiciously while slowly cocking up his eyebrow to show his confusion, or irritation since his eyes began to narrow.
"BECAUSE OF THE STORM!!"
They whimpered and mewed in shaky unison as they clung to each other again as thunder boomed loudly in Kai's bedroom. Kai rolled his eyes flopping back on the cool satin sheets not believing his ears.
"No."
He finally replied much to their disappointment. Rene frowned for a second before smirking giving a signal to Rei who soon smirked and nodded his head.
"Yes? Thanks Kai!"
Rei mewed sweetly crawling along the surface of his bed with Rene.
Kai shot his head up to find Rei and Rene going on either side of him looking as if they were tigers on the prowl. Kai was about to shout another reply but both raven haired teens nuzzled affectionately against his cheeks with their own like cats, sweetly purring.
Sighing in weary defeat, he let his head fall back to his pillow trying to get some sleep, but every time a clash of thunder would boom they'd whimper.
"Would you babies kindly, shut the fuck up!" he growled wearily.
He felt something soft, fuzzy and warm wrap around his waist before hearing a light purr emitting from his left. He glanced to see Rene hesitantly get closer to him before resting her head on top of his chest as her tail curled around his torso.
Kai blushed lightly now seeing his situation in a different view.
He had a half naked Rei on his right, with a practically naked Rene on his left purring and cuddling him like he was some damn plush toy. Rei soon joined Rene lying his head absently on the right side of Kai's warm, welcoming muscular chest lightly brushing his forehead against Rene's purring, which made Rene purr louder.
Not to long after Rene, Rei wrapped an arm around Kai's torso cuddling him absently while he slept. Kai looked down at the two ebony heads sleeping on top of his chest and stomach, and couldn't help but crack a tiny smile as they looked like two sleeping kittens pulling his body to each of their sides for extra warmth.
'Do I look like a goddamn stuffed animal to them?!' He suddenly thought with a growl.
*No, but you feel like one.mmm nice, comfortably soft, and to make it better, warm*
Rene sent with her eyes closed purring softly making Kai widen his eyes startled to hear her voice echo in his head.
*Did you just..*
Kai began but was cut off with a groggy reply
*Yes she did, now keep it down! You guys think too damn loud*
Rei sent as he shifted on Kai's chest. Kai was now beyond confused, but he was also drowsy and he knew that he'd get answers in the morning. Staying on his back he let his arms fall around their shoulders before drifting off to sleep to the gentle purring sounds of the ones he had mixed feelings for..
A/N: heh there another short kindda chappie. How nice well TBC on chap 6!!! R&R!!! Ja! Rene
Chap.5 The Need for Comfort...
"Agreed" was all Kai said before running out of the back door with the others close behind.
Just like when they first met the girls earlier they avoided the perplexed glances of passer-byers as they rushed back to their hotel room. Max pulled Mariah by the hand who allowed herself to be dragged by her savior smiling.
Max being the one to always have a cheery attitude and lighten up any situation let out a giggle before letting go of Mariah's hand stopping the now perplexed amber eyed girl. Tapping her shoulder and then making a mad dash in front of everyone called behind his shoulder.
"You're it Mariah!"
He squealed before bursting into peals of giggles. Mariah looked stunned not expecting him to do that before giggling herself and calling after him.
"Not for long!".
Fushia, Rei, and Kai witnessed this and simply shook their heads muttering one word "kids".
Seeing Mariah and Max play tag Rei realized something and turned his eyes on Fushia.
"Hey, how do you guys know Mariah anyway?"
He cocked his head to the side, cutely looking like at kitten earning a giggle from Fushia.
"We known her for a while in China on and off for two years, but met her a few months back actually."
She began glancing down at Rene and then back to Rei.
"She said something about quitting the White Tigers and how this Lee guy was abusing her trying to get her to mate with him" she sneered at the memory.
Kai flicked his eyes to Rei to see how he would respond to this information. Rei widened his eyes his pupils dilating making his eyes look like endless onyx pools Kai noted but shook the thought out of his head when the Chinese blader spoke.
"That jerk..."
He growled lowly balling one of his hands as his anger rose.
"But..." Fushia continued noting his attitude change, "he didn't take her virginity on a good note" she said calmly having Rei sigh with relief for his childhood friend.
"She met up with us bladding in the streets of China, and she spoke of you and the Blade Breakers, especially about that blonde one over there"
She chuckled flicking her head towards Max who was still playing tag with the golden eyed, pink haired blader. Now it was Kai's turn to speak.
"Wait a sec...you lived in China?" he spoke in a monotone shifting Rene's weight once more. Fushia glanced at Kai nodding her head.

"Then what brought you here to Japan then?"
Kai asked but made it sound more like a statement unintentionally. Fushia glared at the ground and hissed one word.
"Angelo.".
Rei bit his lip and then smiled "Hey we're here" he announced walking into the hotel and into the elevator Max and Mariah held open for them.
Kai looked at Fushia and cocked his head as a signal to go ahead first which made her smile and go into the elevator with Kai still holding Rene not long after.
In the elevator Rei adjusted the shoulder strap of the girls' black duffel bag while waiting for the doors to open on their floor.
While he looked around the elevator he found Fushia, Mariah and Max into their own conversation, and Kai was leaning against the metallic wall continuing to hold an unconscious Rene effortlessly in his arms.

'He's cuter when he's smiling'
Rei thought absently as he stepped out of the elevator with Kai close behind and into their huge hotel room where Tyson turned from the television letting out a shriek.
"Oh my God!!! Kai actually killed someone! I knew that he could get mad and all... but I NEVER in my whole life thought that he'd actually KILL someone!"
He rushed up to them looking at a bloodstained Rene and then a death glaring Kai.
"What did she do Kai? Poke you or something?" Tyson looked about all panicky "AND you brought the body back here?! What kind of sick person are you?!"
If it was possible Tyson's indigo eyes grew larger. Fushia and Mariah glanced at Max who sheepishly grinned in response before sighing at Tyson.
"He didn't kill anyone Tyson. It's a long story, too long to explain right now in fact" he yawned just for good measure.
Tyson pouted in not getting to know what was going on, but nodded in understanding after seeing the looks the group sent him.
"Okay well good night you guys..." he looked about uncomfortably before heading to the room he shared with Max who was right behind him stifling yet another yawn.
Fushia and Mariah hugged Rei and Kai, who wrinkled his nose in disgust and didn't return the gesture, once more.
"We just can't thank you guys enough for helping us"
Fushia whispered as she stepped back from Kai.
Mariah nodded "We'll sleep in the living room" she stated leaving no room for an argument.
Fushia looked back at Kai holding Rene before glancing at Rei with their belongings and Mariah who simply nodded as if agreeing to something. Fushia dipped her head thankfully to her salmon hair colored friend before turning her burgundy eyes on Kai.

Seeing the light skinned Tora-Neko-jin at last calm down to Kai's embrace, Fushia wrung herself off before touching Kai on the shoulder and then touching Rene.
"Rene..."
Fushia said softly as she saw her friend look into her direction water dripping off her long (A/N: not even close to as long as Rei's though!) red and black hair.
"Fushia."
She replied slowly gripping Kai's red silk shirt as she began to remember in horror.
"...I-I killed Angelo...." Her bottom lip quivered as tears began to cascade down her bruised, triangle free cheeks.
Fushia smiled sadly to her worried friend before smiling proudly flashing her fangs.
"I know Rene.I know, but he got just what he was needing for a long ass time. It's not your fault Rene." she cooed.

"You wake him up" she whispered nervously.
"And get my head chewed off?" he replied back just as nervous flicking his glowing golden eyes on the owner of Dranzer he nudged Rene back.
"You do it" he insisted but she shook her head just as quick.
"No you do it..."
"No, you!"
"You..."
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No way!"
"You do it!" she whispered back more firmly.
"Do what?"
Came a cold voice cutting through the whispers like a knife making both teens cling to one another startled. The Neko-jins let their eyes trail up the king sized bed to a now awake and irritated bluenette (and shirtless *drools*) team captain.
Releasing from their embrace once again they looked to the floor embarrassed on asking Kai a silly thing.
Kai sat up on his bed waking to the sound of two people arguing in his room. There he could make out their silhouettes in the darkness, one taller and one slightly shorter than the taller one.
When he heard their voices he could recognize the owners of the voices, Rei and Rene.
He spoke to interrupt their little argument making them yelp and cling to each other for dear life, obviously they didn't know he woke up. He was now staring with glowing ruby and gold pairs of eyes. He folded his arms impatiently waiting for one of the two to answer his question.
"We were wondering if ummm..."
Rene began fidgeting as she looked at the flashes of lightening through the curtains.
"If we could sleep with you- I mean HERE with you.."
Rei corrected himself blushing madly. Kai widened his crimson eyes at the both of them stunned to what they were asking.
"Why?"
He said suspiciously while slowly cocking up his eyebrow to show his confusion, or irritation since his eyes began to narrow.
"BECAUSE OF THE STORM!!"
They whimpered and mewed in shaky unison as they clung to each other again as thunder boomed loudly in Kai's bedroom. Kai rolled his eyes flopping back on the cool satin sheets not believing his ears.
"No."
He finally replied much to their disappointment. Rene frowned for a second before smirking giving a signal to Rei who soon smirked and nodded his head.
"Yes? Thanks Kai!"
Rei mewed sweetly crawling along the surface of his bed with Rene.
Kai shot his head up to find Rei and Rene going on either side of him looking as if they were tigers on the prowl. Kai was about to shout another reply but both raven haired teens nuzzled affectionately against his cheeks with their own like cats, sweetly purring.
Sighing in weary defeat, he let his head fall back to his pillow trying to get some sleep, but every time a clash of thunder would boom they'd whimper.
"Would you babies kindly, shut the fuck up!" he growled wearily.
He felt something soft, fuzzy and warm wrap around his waist before hearing a light purr emitting from his left. He glanced to see Rene hesitantly get closer to him before resting her head on top of his chest as her tail curled around his torso.
Kai blushed lightly now seeing his situation in a different view.
He had a half naked Rei on his right, with a practically naked Rene on his left purring and cuddling him like he was some damn plush toy. Rei soon joined Rene lying his head absently on the right side of Kai's warm, welcoming muscular chest lightly brushing his forehead against Rene's purring, which made Rene purr louder.
Not to long after Rene, Rei wrapped an arm around Kai's torso cuddling him absently while he slept. Kai looked down at the two ebony heads sleeping on top of his chest and stomach, and couldn't help but crack a tiny smile as they looked like two sleeping kittens pulling his body to each of their sides for extra warmth.
'Do I look like a goddamn stuffed animal to them?!' He suddenly thought with a growl.
*No, but you feel like one.mmm nice, comfortably soft, and to make it better, warm*
Rene sent with her eyes closed purring softly making Kai widen his eyes startled to hear her voice echo in his head.
*Did you just..*
Kai began but was cut off with a groggy reply
*Yes she did, now keep it down! You guys think too damn loud*
Rei sent as he shifted on Kai's chest. Kai was now beyond confused, but he was also drowsy and he knew that he'd get answers in the morning. Staying on his back he let his arms fall around their shoulders before drifting off to sleep to the gentle purring sounds of the ones he had mixed feelings for..
