And so it was decided.
Aya, Rei's friend would come and live with the trio. As a punishment for getting fired, Tala was instructed to clean out the room that looked as if it was a large trash can. Tala had whined the whole time asking why he had to do it and Kai simply replied that to pay back a favor you must do a favor. Of course Tala simply snorted and rolled his eyes.
Now, Rei, having taking a day off from work, sat in the uncomfortable chairs at the airport patiently waiting for his close childhood friend. He was trying to predict what she would look like now after four years. He was glad that he had to take off work since Tala would be telling the rest of the White Tigers team of her arrival. He could just see now how Mariah was planning to kill him. Ever since the young age of three, when Aya had caught fire to Mariah's favorite doll, they had been at each others throats like a dog and cat.
'More like a cat and cat,' Rei smiled to himself, amused at the secret joke running through his subconscious. Of course he didn't realize the yelling voice right next to him.
"Rei! HEY REI!" The girl desperately tried yelling into her friends ear then insisted on acting upon violence, hitting the neko-jin on the back of his head.
Rei shook out of his pleased state into a shocked then angered one. He was about to turn around and slaughter whoever just hit him when he noticed who it was.
"Aya! My god is that you?" Rei exclaimed brightly, a gleaming smile set into his face.
The girl giggled then started shaking her head furiously.
"My god Rei, are you deaf?" she giggled more then asked, "Are you thinking of that wonder boy you mailed me about?"
Rei's face instantly went red then shook away the thought of wanting to finish his killing job from before.
"For your information no, and since we will be living with the "wonder boy" as you put it, you should keep your mouth shut." Aya smiled widely.
"Of course."
Rei took a step back to look at her. She had grown tall, although she was a little shorter than he was. The thing that amazed him the most was her hair. Four years ago it was longer than his but now it was cut short, in corkscrew curls framing her square head. Her eyes weren't hidden behind the overly large circular glasses, but instead were framed with small square, thick plastic, purple ones. Her emerald eyes twinkled from behind them.
"You look different." Rei said in a calm voice.
She smiled wide then pulled on Rei's bound hair.
"And you haven't changed a bit Rei babe." She laughed again when she saw his disgusted look painting his face about the nick name.
"Come on, lets get your bags. We should get home."

"Jesus Christ, did you see how Mariah was about to pounce on me wanting to tear me to shreds? She must honestly hate that woman." Tala growled, keeping a defensive glare in his eye.
Bryan flicked his eyes to Tala's slouching form on the chair next to his.
"She would kill you regardless." He mused out loud.
Kai snorted in enjoyment. He never missed a moment when people made fun of his friend. The three had decided to go to lunch at a small cafe down the corner from the orphanage.
Tala had come that afternoon to tell the White Tiger team of Aya's arrival in Moscow. Li had been confused and excited wondering why the chief would let her go, Kevin had had stars in his eyes, and Gary was indifferent. Mariah however looked like a murderous man-eating tiger. She ran around in circles like a chicken with its head chopped off yelling "No! No! NO! Not the anti-Christ." then turned her evil glint to Tala looking like she was going to kill him. Tala had ran out of the room while Gary and Li held Mariah back.
"I swear, if this Aya woman really is the anti-Christ then I don't need her help that much."
Bryan snickered then met Talas eyes "What, you can't handle a prissy kitty cat?"
Tala growled a second time meeting Bryan with a harsh gaze.
"Not funny at all. Of course I can handle it. I mean, I can handle Rei right?"
Kai shook his head then looked up from his coffee(1). "This woman will be completely different from Rei. According to him, she is very liberal, open-minded, and talkative."
Bryan lifted his eyebrow smirking.
"Good to have. Open-minded so she can deal with the lot of you."
Tala gave him blank stare, then spoke up, "Hey, what about you, I thought you were...." but was then muffled by a hand clamping over his mouth.
"I don't live there Tala dear." Bryan whispered into his ear making Tala blush faintly.
Kai's eyes narrowed considerably at the pair. His eyelids lowered then he took a drink of his coffee again. His thoughts began to wonder. What would this girl be like? Would she accept the fact that she was living with two gay men and a bisexual? Of course Rei had told him she didn't mind, but he couldn't help but think she might change her mind being around the whole gang. He wondered what it would actually be like living with a girl. It was an alien notion to think of. He wondered if her personality would be like Emily's. Or worse, maybe even Mariah's. Then a dreadful thought came to mind. What if she was in love with Rei? Kai's heart started to beat faster. What if Rei wasn't fully gay, that he was bi, and that he was also in love with her?
Kai wouldn't stand for it. He slammed down his fist, got up from the table, placed a five on the table, then walked briskly out of the cafe leaving a bewildered Bryan and Tala to wonder what was running through his brain.
(1) He always drinks coffee in fan fics it seems! I just had to jump the bandwagon, right? ^^
A/N: *sigh* I almost just wiped this story off of ff.net. I kind of thought it was a lame idea, but then my dad told me to just stick with it ^^. So you guys are just stuck with me. I really hope you like this chapter, and I will start to be putting the more yaoi-ness in here. Remember that this is my first time doing something like this.
Also, Thank you for all of the encouraging reviews! It makes me feel better to know that people are reading the story ^.^
Well, gotta go do some Pre-AP work. Ciao!
