Chapter 2
~~~~~~~~~~
A man sat alone in the darkness of the plane. He picked up the phone, punching in the numbers and had a short conversation with whoever had been unlucky enough to be on the other end.

Kai snapped his eyes open to the sound of someone lightly knocking on the door, Kai looked down at the sleeping form of Rei in his arms. Kai slowly placed Rei on the bed beside him before getting up looking slightly surprised; Rei was usually a light sleeper. Moving away from the bed he headed towards the door and slightly opened it.
It was a servant. "What is it?" Kai asked coldly, making the servant hesitate and take a step back. The servant relayed the message, "Master Kai your grandfather will be coming home this very after noon." He bowed and disappeared down a hallway. Kai sighed slamming his fist against the door. He had to get out of here before then.
Kai turned around to see Rei sitting up in their bed, rubbing the sleep from his eyes, "did I wake you?" Kai asked as he sat on the bed beside Rei. Rei nodded, yawning. Kai smiled. "Sorry," he said, bringing Rei into his lap. He held him close, thinking about what the servant had said. "Who was at the door?" Rei asked breaking Kai away from his thoughts. "A servant," Kai said plainly, "Voltaire is coming back this after noon and I would like to be a good distance from here when he does." Kai stood up and pulled Rei up with him. "I understand," Rei said sadly. He had enjoyed his time with Kai in the mansion. Kai looked down at the younger boy and pulled him into his arms, tilting Rei's face up to look at his.
"I can't promise you anything, except that I'll try to keep things how they are now," Kai said slowly, before pressing his lips against Rei's. Rei smiled at Kai. "Thanks," he said as he watched Kai wake the others up. Rei looked around before grabbing his clothes and heading for the shower.
Kai used the quickest passages through the mansion leading to Tyson and Max's room. As expected, they were still asleep. "TYSON, MAX, GET UP," Kai yelled startling the two that had been asleep. Tyson ended up falling off the bed. "What's the big deal?" Tyson complained as Max helped him up. "None of your business. Pack your things; we are leaving in a few a hours," Kai said sharply, leaving the room to go searching for Kenny. Kai ran down in the direction of Kenny's room only to find it empty. Kai stood there silently trying to listen for any sound of footsteps. 'Yes' Kai thought. There was a sound.
However it wasn't the sound of footsteps, it was something better, the sound of someone typing on a computer. Kai, following the sound, soon arrived at where Kenny was sitting on the ground looking up at a security camera and typing away on his laptop. Kai stood behind Kenny wondering what the hell would be so interesting about a security camera.
"Kenny!" Kai said making the smaller boy jump up. "Oh. . . ah. . . hi there Kai," Kenny said, quickly picking up his laptop. "We're leaving in a few hours. I need you ready by then," Kai said before disappearing into a nearby corridor and heading back to his room.
Kai entered the room. Rei was sitting on his bed, his things already packed. Kai quickly grabbed his bag off the floor before helping Rei with his things as they left the room to go find the others.

Kenny now found himself and the rest of the team standing outside the Hiwatari Mansion as the two black, shiny limousines that had brought them here pulled up to take them away again. Kai sighed scanning the surroundings. He soon picked up the image of a middle age man with a camera.
Kai looked away snarling slightly. He was probably a reporter, or one of his grandfather,s spies. Right now he didn't know which one he hated more.
"So what are we going to the old hotel?" Tyson asked, Kai just nodded before getting into the front limousine with Rei. He was not in the mood to deal with Tyson.
It wasn't long before Tyson and Max found themselves unpacking their stuff in their old hotel room. "I guess it will be back to training again," Tyson said sadly as he lay down next to Max on their bed. Max sighed. "I wounder what got to Kai?" he asked. Tyson just shrugged. "No idea."
Tyson was lucky he and Max managed to scab some money off Kai to get some pizza for dinner. However, Kenny had given Tyson a limit of how much he was allowed to eat, much to his dismay. When all beside Tyson had eaten as much as they could, Kai and Rei said good night to the others before retreating, to their room. They left Kenny to his work and Tyson and Max to the cards.
