Disclaimer: I own none of the characters.

Here's the Easter chapter, because....its Easter. Sadly I'm only going to do a few more chapters. There aren't any holidays except Victoria Day and that's a Canadian Holiday. I don't think I'll use it, but I'll do a random chapter and then the last chapter which will be a summer vacation chapter. The Demo Boys + Kai could use the sun.

Anyway here's the chapter. It's not as long as the last one for sure.

Chapter Four – Easter Hunt

"Why do we have to do this?" huffed Bryan who was sitting outside with Tala, Rei, Kai and Spencer. Kai and Rei had planned an egg hunt for Tyson, Max and Ian. It was more of a payback for the paint incident last week. Tyson, Max and Ian thought it would be funny to cover the older teens in paint when they walked in. Even though it was April Fool's they went a bit over board, especially since Mr. Dickenson had brought over a important figure of the BBA to talk to the Bladebreakers and Demolition Boys. For that incident they all spent the next two days cleaning.

"Don't you want revenge on those three idiots?" asked Spencer who was leaning against a tree.

Bryan snorted and replied, "Of course I do, but couldn't it be more painful?"

"It could be, but its Easter and we don't want to go over board." Answered Rei who was sitting against Tala's chest whose back was against the wall. Kai stood next to them. Bryan grumbled at Rei's answer. Kai pushed himself off the wall and walked back to the house.

"Come on. Let's start those morons on their way." Said Kai. Spencer and Bryan followed immediately leaving Tala and Rei alone, not that they minded.

"Come on tiger. I don't want to miss this." Said Tala nudging Rei to stand up, though in vain. Rei smirked and shook his head.

"I'm comfortable. I don't want to move." He said; his smirk grew as he heard Tala sighed.

"Rei come on." Said Tala a little more forceful this time. Rei still didn't budge. Tala sighed frustrated. He nudged Rei forward gently, trying to get him to move. Rei still didn't get up.

"Rei! Up now!" Getting pissed Tala let his frustration take control and pushed him forward causing the neko-jin to crash to the ground in an awkward position.

"AAHH!" Rei screamed as he landed on his left hand. Pain shot through his arm as it twisted. Tala stared at his mate for a moment before scurrying to his side.

"Rei I'm sorry I didn't mean it. I wasn't thinking." Said Tala quickly. Helping Rei up he was awarded with a punch to the chest which sent him flying back.

"Yeah, you weren't thinking." Said Rei angrily before running into the house. Tala, slightly winded sat up painfully and watched Rei walk into the house. Sighing, the Russian captain got up and walked back to the house to apologize to Rei. Walking into the house he was almost trampled by Tyson, Max and Ian as they ran out to find the clues. Entering the house he was greeted with the sight of Kai, Spencer and Bryan looking pissed. Tala stopped and stared them.

"What did you do to Rei?" asked Kai not happy at his best friend. Tala sighed.

"Nothing."

"Really? Oh ok. We were just wondering why Rei was bleeding." Said Spencer.

"He's that injured?" asked Tala frantically. Kai smirked and Tala knew he was done for.

"So you do know what happened. Answers. Now. Or I will kill you." Said Kai walking over to Tala and grabbing his arm dragging him over to the couch.

"Fine. I asked Rei to get up, but he didn't budge. I asked again and he didn't. After the third time I sorta got pissed and pushed him." Tala summed up. Silence filled the room.

"Did you say please?" asked Spencer. Tala shook is his head and was rewarded with a smack to the head by Bryan. And it wasn't gentle.

"You idiot. Even I know to say please when I ask. You should know Rei by now. He may be kind and all but he expects manners." Said Bryan. Tala knew Bryan was right.

"Where is Rei right now?"

"Upstairs, and no you're not going up there to see him." Said Kai.

"Why?" Tala asked confused as to why he couldn't go apologize to his mate.

"Because jackass, Rei doesn't want to see you at the moment he even said so himself. I'll go up and you can think about how to get in Rei's good books again." Said Kai standing up and going upstairs to where Rei was. Entering Rei's room he looked around the room trying to find Rei. All he saw was a puff of black against the bed. Kai walked in quietly.

"Kai why are you up here?" asked Rei suddenly. Kai walked over to the other side of the bed where Rei sat on the ground binding his arm. Kai sat down and took Rei's hand. He wiped the blood away with the towel Rei brought into the room and quickly placed a tiny bit of antiseptic and a bandage patch over the wound. Taking the bindings he quickly wrapped Rei's wrist. Looking for something to hold it, Kai looked around and saw a blue wrist band on the desk. Reaching over he grabbed it and looked at it raising an eyebrow.

"Why do you have Bryan's wrist band?"

"He left it downstairs yesterday. I was going to give it to him today." Said Rei. Kai nodded and wrapped it around Rei's wrist twice because Rei's wrists were a lot smaller than Bryan's.

"Okay now what are you going to do?" asked Kai.

"I don't know." Rei sighed and put his head pack on the bed. Kai stood up and hoisted Rei up.

"Well you're not going to stay in here and spoil the show that's going on at the moment between the three idiots. Come on. You know Tala didn't mean it. He's emotionally disabled. Neglected. An idiot. What more can you expect from him." Said Kai pulling Rei's blood soaked shirt off. Finding another one quickly he put it over Rei's head. Once Rei was finished they both exited the room. Coming down stairs they noticed that Spencer, Tala and Bryan were not there anymore.

"I guess they went to the end of the hunt to wait for Tyson, Max and Ian. We'll go wait too. Come on." Said Kai before dragging Rei out of the door. The two made their way to the end of the hunt. Arriving there they met up with Spencer and Bryan. They were seated a two boulders in the small forest with a box next to them.

"Where's the other one?" asked Kai.

"He went back." Answered Spencer.

"Hey, is that my wrist band?" said Bryan out of the blue.

"Yes now we don't want them to know we're here." Answered Kai. Kai and Rei walked over to the others and opened the box.

"This is going to be great!" whispered Bryan. All of a sudden Rei heard something meters away.

"They're coming." He whispered.

"I don't hear anything." Said Bryan.

"I'd rather take Rei's opinion." Said Kai. The four closed the box and left it out in the open. They hid behind the boulders silently. Twigs snapping could he heard, as well as Tyson's victory scream as they discovered the box waiting for them. The three rushed over to the box and literally ripped if open. Silence soon took over as they found the box held no contents. All of a sudden they heard a thump and turned around only to be met with a face fill of pie. Rei, Kai, Bryan and Spencer had jumped out and smothered them in pies. Tyson, Max and Ian backed away; Ian being the smallest was quickly taken down by Bryan throwing a pie at him full force. Next was Max and lastly Tyson going down.

The four came to stand and laugh at their fallen friends.

"Let that be a lesson Tyson." Kai said. After that they went around picking up the pieces of the pie pans. Rei bent down to pick up one and another hand reached out to grab it. Looking up he was met with ice blue eyes. Standing up quickly, Rei looked down at Tala who had shown up out of nowhere.

"What..." Rei began but was stopped by Tala getting on his knees and hands laced together in a begging position.

"Before you say anything I want to say that I am really, really sorry for what I did. I was a stupid, single-minded jerk who only was thinking about myself. And you can add selfish to that list." Said Tala on his knees in front of Rei for all to see. Rei was at a loss. He wasn't expecting Tala to do this.

"Tala please get up." Said Rei eyes flickering over to the others as the tried not to laugh.

"No Rei. You deserve more than that little speech. Please, please, please forgive me. I'm an idiot. I just want you to forgive me." He said bending his Tala and raising his hands above his head.

"Tala I forgive you, now get up before you reduce yourself even lower than you are doing so right now." Said Rei with clenched teeth. A blush appeared on his cheeks showing his embarrassment. Tala didn't seem to think that Rei meant it and latched himself onto Rei. This caused the others to break out in laughter. Rei looked down at Tala, his face now redder than Tala's hair.

"I'm sorry Rei. Real sorry." Said Tala. Rei tried to push Tala away with no avail. Sighing he turned he head to Kai.

"A little help Kai." Rei pleaded. Watching his captain walk away all hope of being free faded. After a few minutes the rest had left leaving Rei and Tala.

"Tala if you're going to let go now would be the best time." Said Rei. Tala looked up. Seeing that the other's were gone Tala stood up towering over Rei.

"I am sorry." Tala said. Rei held up his hand.

"I know. I heard everything, and I don't want to hear it again." He said. "Let's go back." Rei said. Tala stared confused.

"That's it? You're forgiving me that easily?"

"No, just I have to go to the washroom really bad." Rei said hopping from one foot to another to emphasis his point. Tala smiled brightly and gave Rei a quick peck on the lips.

"But I'm an idiot right?" Tala asked as they walked back.

"No. You're a fool. There is no bigger fool then you. Sadly I got stuck with you." Said Rei as he hung his head low.

Tala smiled proudly as they walked back to the house.
