Kai led them down corridors and across rooms always seeming like he knew the place inside out by the pace he went at and before long he stoped at a pair of giant oak doors. Kai opened the doors to reveal a large indoor swimming pool and the others just gasped at the size of it having only seen the doors leading to it on their tour. Tyson ran in dropping his towel on the floor before diving into the giant pool followed by Max though not in that much of a rush.
Kai and Rei just walked over to one of the deck chairs and dropped their towels on it, Rei looked around at the colossal room that housed the indoor pool and then he noticed the diving board at the far end.
"Kai do you dive?" Rei asked Kai.
"In my spare time, when I'm not training, yes," he said.
"Show me," was all Rei said as he pushed Kai in the direction of the diving board.
Kai sighed, "Ok" he said before heading towards the diving board at the far end of the pool. Rei went and sat down at the edge of the pool watching Tyson and Max fighting before adverting his attention to Kai who was now climbing up to the diving platform. Rei looked on in amazement as he watched as Kai ran along the platform before jumping on to the diving board and doing a back flip before gracefully diving down cleanly cutting the water without so much as a splash.
Rei watched as Kai slowly rose to the surface before smiling and clapping his hands happily. When Kai had arrived at the edge of the pool where Rei was sitting, he looked up at him questioningly.
"Aren't you coming in?" he asked.
"Yeh" was all Rei said, before diving over Kai and into the water. Kai watched as Rei began to swim to the far end before submerging under water and joining him.
Rei reached the other end of the pool to find Kai already there.
"What...how..." Rei looked puzzled at Kai who just smirked.
"I'm a fast swimmer," he said finally.
"Well if you're a pretty good swimmer Kai then how about we race," Tyson said, swimming over to them followed closely by Max.
"Hn" was all Kai said sounding kind of bored.
"Ok, I'll take that as a yes, how about you Rei, you in?" Tyson asked.
"Sure," said Rei.
"I wanna race as well!" Max called out so they all made their way to one end of the pool. "Your gonna lose big time Kai," Tyson said, teasing him before Max interrupted.
"Just to the end of the pool and that's all Tyson," Max said, before beginning the count down.
"Three"
"Two"
"One"
And with that they all dived in and started to swim to the far end of the pool, Kai reached the end first like he had suspected, jumping out and sitting down on the edge before facing the others who were still coming a fare way off. Kai watched as Max sped up just over taking Rei as they reached the end of the pool, Max almost thought he had won before he looked up and saw Kai sitting on the edge in front of him.
"Hey Kai I guess you won then," Max said cheerfully in his always happy voice, Kai just nodded and slightly smiled as he helped Rei out of the pool placing the boy on the pool edge beside him. Shortly later Tyson finally arrived,
"So Tyson what were you saying about me losing big time," Kai smirked at him, Tyson just glared at him before getting out and diving back in followed by Max to resume their water fight. Kai and Rei sat there for a while watching the other two before Rei chimed in.
"Do you want another race though just you and me," Rei asked, Kai sighed but nodded, he couldn't see no reason not to.
"Ok we will do it like last time just one lap, on my count...one...two...three" and Rei and Kai dived in and began the race while Max and Tyson stopped their water fight momentarily to watch.
"Hey that's not fair Kai's letting Rei win!" Tyson whined, after noticing Kai going deliberately slower than last time but still keeping close to even with Rei.
"That's nice of him, but I don't think Rei will fall for it," was all Max said as they continued to watch the race.
Rei reached the opposite pool wall just before Kai did and looked up at Kai smiling.
"Looks I won," Rei said happily.
Kai smiled, "Yes it does," he smirked.
"Hey wait a minute...you let me win didn't you...Kai that's no fair!" Rei whined, clinging to Kai who only laughed.
"I wanna race you again but this time I want you to actually try!" Re demanded. Kai just shook his head and lifted himself and Rei out of the water.
"Kai what are you doing...put me down!" Rei whined.
Kai shrugged if Rei wanted to be put down he'd put him down, Rei then found himself flying through the air to land back in the pool and when he surfaced he saw Kai standing there smirking at him.
"You said you wanted to be put down," he told Rei innocently. Rei pouted at him but couldn't help but laugh at Kai's attempt at an innocent look.
Noticing that Kai had turned and walked off towards the deck chair that they had left their towels, Rei quickly and quietly swam over to the edge of the pool and watched as Kai lay down on his back on the deck chair before he silently left the water and made his way over to Kai. Rei reached Kai's deck chair and moved and sat down on Kai's waist straddling him, Kai opened one eye and looked to see Rei staring at him before opening the other eye and smiling at him.
"Why did you get out and leave?" Rei questioned him, Kai looked at him and shrugged not knowing himself, then placing his hands behind his head he shut his eyes again. Rei moved his hands over Kai's muscular body before he noticed the scars from Kai's grandfathers beating, sighing Rei moved his hand letting his fingers trace over the scars. Kai once again opened his eyes, rising one eyebrow at Rei questioningly, Rei just smiled before lying down on Kai resting his head on his chest and listening to the study beating of his heart.
Kai let his hand rub up and down Rei's bare back and before he knew it he could just hear the quiet and peaceful breathing of Rei now asleep on top of him. Kai smiled allowing himself a quick glance at his sleeping kitten before closing his eyes his life couldn't get any better than this, with Rei now a major part in his life and his grandfather Voltair gone out of the country for a few weeks his life was beginning to look positive.
