Chapter 5

The sun was just starting to peek through the curtains the next morning when Kai slowly cracked his eyes open. After years of early morning training, his body still woke him up, even when all he wanted to do was sleep. The teenager groaned, before rolling over, and feeling a warm body press against his. He didn't have to look to know that it was Rei. Not only because they had to share a bed, but after sharing a bed while they were Bladebreakers, he was used to the neko-jin cuddling up against him. He doubted that Rei knew about his cuddling tendancies, which is why he never mentioned them. It would probably just embarass him anyways...

Kai was just about to go back to sleep, when he heard a small noise coming from the other side of the room. Knowing that it had to be Zhen, he propped himself up on his elbow, then looked towards the crib. He was surprised to see a pair of crimson framed golden eyes staring back at him, as Zhen peeked out of his crib, his hands clutching the bars tightly to keep himself from falling over.

"Re~..." Kai started before stopping himself as he looked down at the sleeping teen. Rei did have a long flight yesterday, so he was probably still feeling the effects of jet lag and it didn't seem like Zhen wanted anything. All Kai had to do was put the baby back to bed, and that would be it.

The slate-haired teen slid out of bed, and softly padded over to the crib to look down at the baby.

"Ok, runt. Go back to sleep," he told him, but was only met by a blank stare, that blinked innocently before cooing and reaching up for him. Kai couldn't help the small smile that flittered across his face, as he reached into the crib, and tried to lie Zhen back down. The baby just sat right back up though, and smiled sweetly before reaching for him again, clenching his small fists eagerly.

"Fine... I -guess- I can keep an eye on you, but only until Rei gets up," Kai said as he reached back into the crib, and gently picked Zhen up. He held him against his chest, like he had seen Rei do yesterday before he quietly left the bedroom, quietly shutting the door behind him then headed towards the kitchen.

"Now what am I supposed to do with you," Kai asked quietly, as he smirked at the child in his arms. Zhen beamed back, as he raised a hand and ran his fingers over the blue stripes on Kai's right cheek. A tiny finger carefully traced the blue stripe and then the other, his face showing deep concentration which was rare in such a young child. Kai was silent as the baby touched his face, curious to see what he was doing and he was also shocked. When anyone else touched him, he always cringed away but he didn't this time. Maybe it was because the person touching him was under a year old but still there was just something about Zhen that he just couldn't place...

"What are you up to now?" Kai asked gently, as Zhen stopped tracing his cheek, and sucked on his own tiny fingers, before raising his wet hand and trying to 'wash' Kai's face. Kai's eyes widened, before he carefully pulled the hand away.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you. Look. Your hand is all blue," he said, and couldn't help but chuckle when Zhen noticed his new hand colour and squealed before shaking his small hand in the air.

"Let me clean you up and get you something to eat. Maybe after that you'll go back to sleep," Kai said as he sat Zhen down on the counter, and ran a paper towel under the faucet before washing the blue facepaint off the baby's hand. Zhen giggled happily once Kai was done, and shook his hand in the air, sending a small stream of water spraying into the teenager's face.

Kai frowned as the water dripped down his face, causing his painted stripes to leave faint streaks down his pale cheeks. If it had been anyone else, they would of heard an earful, but instead he let out a low sigh, then scooped Zhen back up into his arms.

"You're such a brat," he said lightly as he carried Zhen over to the fridge and opened it to see what kind of food Rei had for him in there. He poked through the small jars of homemade baby food (since Rei didn't trust store bought baby food) and finally picked one out.

"This one looks gross enough to be your punishment for getting me wet," Kai said as he set Zhen down in the highchair, then pulled a seat up to sit in front of him. He opened the container then set it down on the feeding tray, along with a small plastic spoon. "There, now eat."

Zhen made a small questioning sound, before he picked up the spoon and dipped it into the container, taking a small amount of the food out. Kai smiled as he brought the spoon towards his mouth, but at the last minute, he flung the food onto Kai instead with an excited squeal.

Kai groaned as he looked down at the goopy light orange mess on the front of his tank top, then looked up just in time to receive another spoonful of food on his face.

"And you were so well behaved yesterday at the restaurant..." Kai remembered as he reached out and took the spoon away from the infant. He dipped the spoon into the container himself and started to feed the baby that way.

About 15 minutes, 2 containers of baby food and a bottle of formula later, Rei stepped into the kitchen and stopped in the doorway, an amused laugh shortly following. Not only was Zhen a mess, but so was Kai and the surrounding area. The said teen looked up when he heard Rei, and pushed himself out of his chair, trying his best to brush the baby food off of him, even as formula dripped from his bangs and onto his face and clothing. He made his way over to Rei, and stopped beside him, looking unimpressed about the chinese teen's laughing.

"I'm going to take a shower," was all he said, as he stepped by Rei and disappeared into the bathroom.

Once he was gone, Rei laughed again as he made his way over to his baby and scooped him up into his arms.

"You naughty little boy," he said gently as he carried him over to the sink to tidy him up. "Did you make that big mess and get Kai all dirty?" he asked as he set Zhen down and tickled his tummy, causing the baby to giggle and squirm. Rei smiled warmly before cleaning the baby up. Just as he was about to clean up the rest of the kitchen, the phone rang and he picked it up.

::Hello?::

//Hey Rei...//

::Lei? Why are you calling so early?::

//Just wanted to know if you told Kai yet?//

::Not yet, I haven't had the time, but I will... sometime today.::

//That's right, you will...//

There was a sharp knock on the door then, and Rei shifted Zhen to his other hip as he headed towards it.

::Can you hang on a sec, Lei? There's someone at the door.::

The chinese teen opened the door, and his mouth dropped open when he saw who it was.

"You're going to tell him right now, Rei."
