Author Notes: Well you would never have guessed it! I've updated again and sooner than I thought! I had an idea and my writer's block vanished! Yayiers! And don't worry peeps there's more chapters to come! I've cut down my chapters as they were a little too long for what I normally write! Well I'll get writing then….ooo isn't Kai a little snoop? Hehe! I'm dedicating this chapter to S-Cubes and all my reviewers!
Chapter 5
"What the hell!" I yelled as I went to sit down on the sofa only to find some sleeping guy. And what was he doing on the sofa?
"What is it Tyson?" Max and Kenny came running into the lounge.
"Errr….who's this guy?" I was extremely annoyed, pointing at the guy who was sleeping on the sofa and now obviously awake. He looked familiar but I couldn't remember where. But either way I don't like him. The guy just stared at me with fiery red eyes.
"What are you doing on my sofa?" I questioned him.
"What does it look like? Baby-sitting?" He was cocky too.
I growled clenching my hands into fists. He was agitating me.
"Tyson cool it!" Max interrupted. "Who are you?" He asked the guy.
"The guy that saved your necks last night. You know you should really try and hold your liquor." He smirked. "Rai offered me the sofa since I have no where to stay." He continued, getting up. The guy was certainly toned; you could see his toned chest through his tight fitting black top. He was putting these armlet things over his arms. "Ask Rai if you don't believe me? Now excuse me?" And with that, he left the room. We all watched him leave.
I then looked at Kenny and Max for answers. But I knew the answer would have to come from Rai.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm sorry guys, I really should have left a note I guess. But by the time I woke up this morning I was already late for work, so I rushed out." I apolized to my housemates for my actions with Kai.
"That's okay Rai but who is he?" Max asked, forgiving me.
"What are you saying Max? It's not okay we have some weirdo in our house, who we nothing about!" Tyson yelled, glaring at me with those blue eyes.
"Tyson chill Kai is safe. He's a slayer like us. I offered him a place to stay, as he has no-where to stay. Don't worry he's only staying in China until he sorts some business out. And hey he might help us out on patrols." I told them explaining Kai's situation. I admit that I should have confirmed it with them first. I knew Tyson would complain but I didn't think Kenny and Max would be so bothered.
"Well I guess we can't chuck him out on the streets now so I guess he can stay, but really you should have consulted us first!"
"Chief?!" Tyson yelled.
"Tyson, Kenny has a point. And he is a slayer so why not let him stay, it's only for a while, right Rai?" The blonde teen looked at me.
"Yeah I think."
"But guys!" Tyson was still complaining. But he gave up cause his head was hung low and he let his arms fall to his sides. And he sighs, this is how Tyson acted when he gave up a battle he was clearly not gonna win.
I smiled, Kai was staying. I'm not sure why I was happy since I too didn't know much about him. But something was telling me I made a good decision.
I looked at my watch. "I'm sorry guys I've gotta go back to work, I've left Takeshi in there on his own."
"That's okay Rai, I've gotta go to work too." Max said.
"Yeah and I'm late for college." Kenny also chirped in.
Unlike Max and Kenny, Tyson preferred to lounge around the house all day. But I'm not sure if Tyson will stay in the house with Kai there. I could already tell that Tyson didn't like Kai. I knew that would happen after the incident last night.
"Catch you guys later." I then left them to go to back to work.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I watched the other three leave to go consult Rai about my staying, so since they were gone I thought I would check out the place after all I was staying here. I ventured up the stairs. The house was pretty neat and tidy for four guys living here. I entered the first bedroom, which appeared to be Tyson and Max's room. The two teens obviously shared but then I think this house was only a three-bed room house. The room was a little messy, but boys are always messy right? I looked around the room, I saw some photo's hanging on the wall. I walked over, curious to who what the photo's were about. They were family photos of their families and a friend's picture! I suppose this was memorabilia for them. I then noticed a sword in its sheath laid next Tyson's bed. It was obviously Tyson's bed cause he posters of naked women on the way above it. He's so immature. And if I remember rightly, Tyson was a skilled fighter. This is what my assessment was when I had seen him fight when I was watching Rai. .
I put the pendant down noticing what seemed like a worktable. I walked over to it, noticing tools for making weapons. So Max was the weapon designer? Very handy. I guess he's the one who made the weapons Rai uses. Clever boy. Well I had investigated these two for long enough they were boring me now. On with my investigation.
So I left Max and Tyson's room and entered another room, which obviously that computer whiz's room. He had a tidy room. He had PC in the corner of the room, which loads of computer attachments around it, such as scanners and printers, the usual. I had learnt how to use one over the years, I was quite good at surfing the net. He had fixed shelves on the wall with some really old books sat on them. So he was the information guy. Im surprised he hasn't learnt of who I am, but I did try my best to not be in the history books. I walked over to the books and pulled a brown one out. I flipped through it not really interested. But then I scoutered a page which had a picture of me and Diesty. It didn't same my name but still it was me. Man what was wearing back then, I had no fashion in the twentieth century obviously. I ripped the page out, I couldn't let them discover who I was, or moreover what I am. I put the book back and scanned the room to find anything interesting. All the guy had was computer magazines lying around. This guy was dull and boring, I feel sorry for any girl who wants to date him. She has to be a computer freak to go out with him. I decided to leave this boring room and explore the last remaining bedroom, which I guessed was Rai's.
Rai's was a little messy too with just a few items of clothing lying around the floor. I felt like picking them up and tidying up the little mess, but if I did that I knew he'd know I was I here. Rai had a double bed but I think he did share it with Mariah. I walked over to the double wardrobe and opened it, much to my surprise Mariah's entire wardrobe was still there on one side, while his was on the other side. He still wasn't over her. I closed the wardrobe and walked over to the dresser, just as my suspicion it still had Mariah's things on it. He so wasn't over her, well that will change if I have my way. I then noticed some photo's hanging on the wall. I walked over to them to get a better look. There was a photo of his family. He had a younger sister and parents. A normal family. This photo was at least over ten years old; Rai looked very young and happy. As did his whole family. His sister seemed to be younger, but looked very much like Rai, the same dark black hair and amber eyes, even the little line markings on her face matched him. She had her black hair tied back. Rai and his sister took after their mother the most. I wondered what happened to them? Are they dead or he just doesn't see them anymore? Well I'm sure I will find out in time. He also had a photo of friends that Diesty had killed five and half years ago. I remembered that battle, that's when Mariah first learned of me. Luckily Rai didn't Diesty had already knocked him out. I read something on it that was scribbled on the top. 'White Tigers Forever' that must have been the gang's name. It did make sense they did resemble cats. I wonder if this new gang of friends have a name? He also had one of the three guys he lives with. I guess Rai always liked to have photo's around. I don't have any photo's of my family. Too be honest I don't remember my parents, and I think I was an only child. My grandfather brought me up and I despised him for it, I ended killing him and Boris. The man I hated the most. I shuddered remembering him. They were better off dead and so was I. I then noticed Rai had a photo framed on his little table next to his bed. I walked over to it, and picking it up I sat down on his bed. It was of him and Mariah. They both looked so happy in the photo. I ruined that and I almost felt guilty….well I did say almost. Boy, his bed was comfy much nicer than that sofa. Ow, my neck still hurts from that sleep.
I then heard voices downstairs so I put the photo down and rushed out the room. Only to come face to face with Tyson. He looked at me suspiciously to why I had came out of Rai's room.
"What you doing up here?" He asked.
I closed my eyes and folded my arms. "I was looking for the bathroom." I simply said.
"Well it's down at the end of the corridor." I opened my eyes, his eyes gestured to the door at the end of the hallway.
I walked to down to the bathroom, not thanking him; which I heard a low growl come from him. I walked into the bathroom not really needing it. I heard another person walk up the stairs, it was that computer guy. Tyson was talking to him about me. Although they were talking in low voices, I could still hear what they were saying clearly. There will be words with Tyson if he doesn't watch it. He wasn't going to ruin everything I had planned, but it will be fun winding the annoying teen.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Rai seriously I swear he came out of your room. "Tyson whispered to me. He wanted to have a word with me about Kai as soon I came from work. Tyson had told me what he saw earlier. Kai was probably looking for the bathroom; I didn't tell where everything was last night. So Tyson is letting his grudge against Kai get the better of him.
"Tyson I think you're jumping the gun a little here. He probably was looking for the bathroom and was just seeing which room it was." I told the younger teen. "Look I need to take a shower; I've been working in at kitchen all day." I walked past the dark haired teen and towards the stairs.
"But Rai-"Tyson started but then decided to give up.
I had a quick shower and hoped Max had cooked up something for dinner. Even though I was a chef, I preferred not to cook when I got home. All I wanted to do was not think of work or cooking.
Ah, shit I forgot to put some fresh clothes out in here to change into. Well thank God there's a towel. So I wrapped the towel around my waist and picked up my bandana and hair wrap. I looked in the mirror. My hair flopped over my right eye and the back was down to my ankles near enough. God my hair has got longer, maybe I should get trimmed? Nah, I've been growing my hair, since I can't remember. So I made sure my towel was wrapped firmly round my waist, I didn't want it falling off it would be embarrassing if some-one saw. I picked up my dirty clothes and put them in the wash basket. I then exited the room.
"Ah!" I was caught by surprise. "Oh hi Kai." I blushed slightly embarrassed from the scare.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I looked at Rai in only a bath towel. His hair wasn't wrapped up in that ponytail thing; it was loose and very long. He looked more feminine with his hair loose, well his face definitely. I stopped myself from looking him up.
"Sorry Kai." He was blushing. I noticed a little pink flustered in his cheeks. But I let it go.
"Excuse me?" I said in my normal tone and walked past the kitten and into the bathroom. I knew Rai watched me as I walked past. Once inside the bathroom I shut the door and lay against the door. I ran my hand through my slate spikes and a small smile played on my lips. Rai did look so hot just then. Dripping wet and completely naked under a towel, I think I'll like living here it's all worthwhile when I run into Rai like that. I knew I wasn't going to get that image out of my head tonight. My stomach then growled. Man, I was lacking blood. I've had to eat human food all day so that dickhead Tyson wouldn't guess. I already had a run in with him today. I was really hungry too so, I would have to go out and find a tasty meal. My stomach growled again and I felt the hunger pains this time. I decided I would tell Rai that I was going slaying. He was the only one I really knew, and would only like to know. I exited the bathroom and stood in front of his door. I timidly knocked on his door. I don't know what I'm so shy about, I never got shy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who's that knocking on my door now? Better not be Tyson, I don't think I want to hear anymore of his conspiracies about Kai.
"What now—" I stopped in mid-sentence and all anger left my voice. In front of me stood, the man I had just run into. Thankfully I was dressed now and not only in a towel. He looked at me a little taken back.
"Sorry, I thought you were Tyson." I apolized
"Yeah well I'm not." He snapped, I frowned. I didn't think that was called for. "I'm just letting you know I'm going out slaying." He told, he then walked away.
"But it's only seven." I called back to him after reading the time on my watch. We normally went out on patrol at nine.
He stopped but didn't turn around. "Yes, well you should know vampires are hungry at different times of the day just like humans, Rai." He answered me walking back downstairs.
"Don't you want some-one to go with you?" I raised my voice so he'd hear me.
"No I'll be fine." He said in normal pitch tone. I wouldn't have heard him if it weren't for my sensitive hearing.
"Fine then." I muttered. I returned to my room. I sat on my bed and started the task of sorting my hair out, I'd leave it down but I preferred it up and plus it was dripping wet. I also looked to girly with it down. So I first placed my bandana through my hair and across my forehead instantly my locks returned to their spiked-floppy style, next was the task of tying my hair up in the wrap. It would take me a good hour or so but I was use to it now.
Was that a little too short? Or just about right? I thought it was a little short, well I did cut the chapter into two mainly because the rough copy is very long. Well I dunno, I'll write the next chapter up soon. Max gets a little visit in the next chapter, but it's not a happy ending though. And for those who thought I would let the towel slip from Rai's waist in front of Kai, you can only dream!*Meg* Hehe! Well as always please leave a review? Thanks to all have and keep returning to my ficcy.
Kai: Diesty will u stop with the talking already, you're sending them all to sleep!
No I'm not *hears snoring* well okay maybe I am.
