AN: Nice chapter crl wrote ne?
Anyway, I'll do the next. I hope it is to your liking, and not to late. This is my last year of school so I worry about exams... I had a T-week as well so you could say I was busy.
Disclaimer: mmm well whattya know *holds up paper* it says here I don't own /shit/!
~Different chapter six~
So there she was /again/. Taking a good teammate away. Honestly, I don't really like being in a team. But as long as we are, we might as well have a good one. Rei's a good blader, if he would leave, I'd be stuck with Max en Tyson. That says enough.
Luckily Rei decided to stay. And yes, I have Tyson to thank for that. He was useful after all.
Kenny and I didn't go climbing mountains to find him. I didn't know that Mariah was going to steel him away. I only thought that he was going to find Drigger or himself up there. We just sat here, waiting for them to return. Kenny was fixing some glitches in my blade out of frustration and I was watching him poking Dranzer around.
Now I sit here again. But this time everyone is here, including Rei.
He's apologising to us. Everyone forgives him. After getting smiley faces from the others he looks at me.
"Kai? You were right you know. But I still think I could be a part of the team. Mariah was right too. I could be a good blader, even without a bit beast."
She's confusing him. First she's wrong and then she's right. He has to make some sort of choice.
But instead of telling him that, I smirk and nod. He smiles at me and then looks at the clock.
"This was a very tiresome day guys, let's go and get some rest."
I fill him in by saying that we have training the next morning. He grins at me. He knows as well as I do that Tyson will have something to say about it.
After some muttering from Tyson we all go to bed.
But I don't sleep.
******
I have been turning around a lot. Mostly looking up and stare at the ceiling or on my right side. I don't like it when I try to catch some sleep and I stare at someone else's back. But this time I'm too restless to care and I turn on my left side.
Maybe I shouldn't have.
Rei's awake and he's staring at me. I sigh out of annoyance, but don't speak.
"You can't sleep either?" he whispers, making sure not to wake the others.
I grumble.
"I understand."
I frown. He understood? He knows me pretty well. I decide to /do/ say something.
"It's just that it's annoying, not being able to sleep."
-"Uh-huh, I know what you mean. Maybe I can help you a bit. Is there something particular that stresses you out at this moment."
"What are you? My shrink? I don't need your help." I snap at him.
I regret it though, as his features sadden.
I sit up and throw my head back. Out of the corner of my eye I see him sit up as well, still staring at me with those golden eyes of his. I turn my face towards him and stare back. He looks away.
After sitting up for a while I let myself fall back in the pillows, but I still feel restless so I sit again.
"Okay, maybe I /do/ need a little help."
Great, now I was asking for help. But he ignores that I'm out of character and smiles.
"So what is your head filled with?"
-"Brains."
"No seriously Kai, what are your thoughts?"
I shrug.
"Today I guess..."
-"Why today? Anything bad happened?"
He grins. I just give him a nasty look.
"To be honest Rei, I don't know. Maybe it's Mariah or maybe it's you. But something is not right about today. I thought you were stronger than that Rei."
-"Stronger than what? Breaking down after losing my /bit beast/? This is not /just/ a small thing to deal with."
"I know that. But you /can/ live with it. It's like you said, you will train without, like all those other kids without bit beasts. You /are/ part of our team."
-"You're right. But I'm just saying it won't be easy."
I shrug again. He was intending to help me sleep, but instead I tried helping him. I just agitated him. I don't know what he's going through, so I can't help him with that. I can't tell him that I know what it's like, because I don't.
I say no more and place my head on the pillow again. Then I turn around, even though I still feel his eyes on my back.

AN: sorry sorry sorry, I was planning on making them touch or something in that matter. But still. I think their relationship can blossom from here on.
I'm sorry about the writing style too; I may have put all my sentence creativity into my pws...
I hope you enjoyed, please R&R
Next chap will probably contain more k/r goodness.
